title: Religiöser Fundamentalismus im Prozess der Staatswerdung Pakistans
Creators: name: Gaier, Malte
Year: 2008

description: Der Fokus der vorliegenden Arbeit richtet sich auf das Phänomen des religiösen Fundamentalismus, der sich, obwohl „Produkt der Moderne“, aus seinen jeweiligen historischen Rahmenbedingungen ableitet, dabei aber einen Partizipations- und Geltungsanspruch auf Diskurse der Gegenwart aufrechterhält. Zentrale Wesensmerkmale des Fundamentalismus sind dabei in seinem Selbstverständnis, in Organisation und Weltsicht seiner Gruppen Selektivität, Exklusivität, Dogmatik und ein immanentes Reflexionsverbot, welches die absolute Lehre von der Gottessouveränität zum Staatsmodell und gleichzeitig zu einem Gesellschaftsentwurf erhebt. Eine theoretische Diskussion um den Fundamentalismus-Begriff sowie seine Anwendbarkeit auf den islamischen Kontext soll u. a. zwischen verschiedenen Islaminterpretationen differenzieren und anhand des kolonialen Beispiels Britisch-Indiens Anwendung finden. Darüber hinaus stellt die Phase von 1906 bis 1947 einen entscheidenden historischen Entwicklungsprozess für das Selbstverständnis von Religion und Politik im modernen Staat Pakistan dar. Deshalb ist es das Anliegen der Arbeit, neben der fundamentalistischen Position der Jama`at-i-Islami (JI) und ihres Gründers Sayyid Abul `Ala Maududi auch die „islamische Identität“ der Kolonialzeit zu berücksichtigen, der politisch durch die Forderungen der Muslimliga und die Zwei-Nationen-Theorie Mohammad Iqbals und Mohammad Ali Jinnahs Ausdruck verliehen wurde und die heute maßgeblich das Selbstverständnis der pakistanischen Nation prägt. Die Wandlung der Jama`at-i-Islami zu einer politischen Partei soll Rückschlüsse auf die von Maududi vertretene Reinterpretation islamischer Werte und den Charakter der Organisation als islamisch-fundamentalistische Partei Pakistans erlauben und so zum Verständnis des ambivalenten Verhältnisses beitragen, dass die Partei gegenüber dem Staat, und von diesem repräsentiert, einem „offiziellen“ Islam, pflegt. Schlüsselereignisse, die durch Formen der Interaktion zwischen diesen beiden unterschiedlichen Anschauungen durch Konfrontation oder Kooperation geprägt waren, sollen den Strategiewechsel der JI nachzeichnen, den diese in ihrem Bestreben, einen islamischen Staat zu etablieren, vollzogen hat und nunmehr auf demokratisch-parlamentarischem Wege die politische Öffentlichkeit für ihre Anschauungen zu vereinnahmen sucht.

description: The aim of the research was to study part of combination of genes rs2241423, rs12444979 and rs6732220 among Russia Central Chernozem region population. Research group was made of 1873 individuals: 908 women with uterus hyperplastic processes and 965 women of control group. In the sample of sick and control group were included Russian nationality women, which were born in Russia Central Chernozem region and the non-kinship between them. Venous blood in the volume of 6 ml taken from the cubital vein of a proband served as a material of research. Genomic DNA extraction was realized by phenolic-chloroform extraction method. SNP-research was realized by polymerase chain reaction method with associated primers and probes using on amplifier IQ-5.Three molecular genetic markers was genotyped: MAP2K5 (rs2241423), CNVs (rs12444979) и FSHR (rs6732220).A statistically significant difference in the concentrations of the combination of alleles G rs2241423, genotype CC rs12444979 and allele G rs6732220 was established among group of patients with hyperplastic processes of the uterus (28,55%) and control group (33.09%, p=0.01, P=0.05, ОR=0.81, 95% CI 0.66-0.98). Combination of genetic markers G rs2241423, CC rs12444979 и G rs6732220 (OR=0.81) reduces the risk of uterus hyperplastic processes development in population of Central Chernozem region of Russia.

description: The 5-hydroxytryptamine 3 (5-HT3) receptor belongs to the pentameric ligand-gated cation channel superfamily. Humans have five different 5-HT3 receptor subunits: A to E. The 5-HT3 receptors are located on the cell membrane, but a previous study suggested that mitochondria could also contain A subunits. In this article, we explored the distribution of 5-HT3 receptor subunits in intracellular and cell-free mitochondria. Organelle prediction software supported the localization of the A and E subunits on the inner membrane of the mitochondria. We transiently transfected HEK293T cells that do not natively express the 5-HT3 receptor with an epitope and fluorescent protein-tagged 5HT3A and 5HT3E subunits. Fluorescence microscopy and cell fractionation indicated that both subunits, A and E, localized to the mitochondria, while transmission electron microscopy revealed the location of the subunits on the mitochondrial inner membrane, where they could form heteromeric complexes. Cell-free mitochondria isolated from cell culture media colocalized with the fluorescent signal for A subunits. The presence of A and E subunits influenced changes in the membrane potential and mitochondrial oxygen consumption rates upon exposure to serotonin; this was inhibited by pre-treatment with ondansetron. Therefore, it is likely that the 5-HT3 receptors present on mitochondria directly impact mitochondrial function and that this may have therapeutic implications.

description: The aim of the research was to study the role of the combinations of the genes rs6729809 and rs10769908 in the formation of hyperplastic processes of uterus among the population of the Central Chernozem region of Russia. The group of the research was made of 1873 individuals: 908 patients with hyperplastic processes of uterus and 965 women of the control group. The sample of patients and controls were included women of Russian nationalities who are the natives of the Central Chernozem region and non-relative to each other. Material for the study is the venous blood in the amount of 6 ml taken from the cubital vein of a proband. The eduction of genomic DNA from peripheral blood was done by the method of phenol-chloroform extraction. Polymorphism study was carried out with the help of the method polymerase chain reaction with using appropriate primers and probes for thermocycler IQ5. Genotyping of the two molecular genetic markers was carried out: LHCGR483 (rs6729809) and STK33 (rs10769908). It was revealed that the combination of alleles C rs6729809 with C rs10769908 are recorded among the patients with hyperplastic processes of uterus (20.81%) was significantly less compared with the control group (27.78%, р=0.03, ОR=0.68, 95%CI 0.55-0.85). Thus, it was found that among the women of the Central Chernozem region protective factor in the development of hyperplastic processes of the uterus is the combination of alleles C rs6729809 with C rs10769908 (ОR=0.68).

description: BAP1 is a gene situated on chromosome 3p in a region that is deleted in over 90% of Renal Cell Carcinomas (RCCs) (1,2). In the present study we studied BAP1 immunohistochemical expression in a large series of conventional clear cell RCCs (ccRCCs) treated with radical nephrectomy and we assessed the prognostic value of their expression in terms of patients survival at long-term follow-up. 154 consecutive patients with ccRCC were selected from a prospective database and considered for the study purpose; all patients were treated with radical nephrectomy and lymphadenectomy at our Institute of Urology between 1983 and 1985. The features considered in this study were tumor size, grade and stage, vascular and capsular invasion, incidence of metastasis and patient specific survival; all these parameters were correlated with immunohistochemical cytoplasmic and nuclear expression of BPA-1 in tumoral tissue. Median follow-up was 196.18 months (range 5 to 274); median survival was 125.34 months (range 5 to 274 months). We found that nuclear BAP1 expression showed a high frequency of loss in tumoral cells; nuclear BAP1 negative tumors had higher tumor size, higher Fuhrman grade, and higher stage, a greater amount of vascular and capsular invasion and a higher incidence of metastases. We have demonstrated that nuclear BAP1 expression is a marker of prognosis in ccRCC, having an impact on cancer-specific survival. The clinical importance for BAP1 will be realized with the identification and application of targeted therapies and with individualized approaches in the adjuvant and/or metastatic setting.

description: Proliferating cholangiocytes, the cells that line the biliary ducts, secrete and respond to neuroendocrine hormones, including secretin. Secretin stimulates biliary proliferation by downregulation of let-7a and subsequent upregulation of the growth-promoting factor NGF [1]. It is not known if the secretin/secretin receptor (SR) axis plays a role in subepithelial fibrosis observed during cholestasis [2]. Our aim was to determine the role of secretin/SR axis in the development of biliary fibrosis in animal models and human primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC). Studies were performed in Wild-type (WT) mice with bile duct ligation (BDL), BDL SR-/-mice or Mdr2-/-mouse models of cholestatic liver injury. In selected studies, the SR antagonist (Sec 5-27) was used to block the secretin/SR axis. Biliary proliferation and fibrosis were evaluated as well as the secretion of secretin (by cholangiocytes), the expression of markers of fibrosis, TGF-β1, TGF-β1R, let-7a and downstream expression of NGF. Correlative studies were performed in human control and PSC liver tissue biopsies, serum and bile. SR antagonist reduced biliary proliferation and hepatic fibrosis in BDL WT and Mdr2-/- mice. We found a decreased expression of let-7a in BDL and Mdr2-/-cholangiocytes that was associated with increased NGF expression. Inhibition of let-7a increased liver fibrosis due to cholestasis. Moreover, we showed an increased expression of TGF-β1, TGF-β1R. Significantly higher expression of secretin, SR and TGF-β1 was observed in PSC patient liver samples compared to controls. In addition, there was higher expression of fibrosis genes and an important decreased expression of let-7a with an increased expression of NGF compared to the control. In conclusion, we found that in proliferating cholangiocytes during cholestasis there is an upregulation of the secretin/secretin receptor axis.This work was supported by grants from Ricerche Universitarie Sapienza # C26A15SE8Z.

description: In dieser Diplomarbeit wurde versucht, einen Vergleich zwischen drei bayerischen Bischöfen der zweiten Hälfte des 10. Jahrhunderts anzustellen: Abraham von Freising, Pilgrim von Passau und Wolfgang von Regensburg. Zunächst wurden Kindheit und Herkunft, sowie Ausbildung und Leben bis zur Bischofsweihe verglichen, den Hauptteil der Arbeit bildete jedoch ein Vergleich der Tätigkeiten als Bischof. •Das Verhältnis des jeweiligen Bischofs zu weltlichen Würdenträgern und dem Staat •Das Verhalten des jeweiligen Bischofs bei den Aufständen Herzog Heinrichs des Zänkers von Bayern gegen Kaiser Otto II. •Bischöfliche „Repräsentation“ und ihre materiellen Grundlagen (Bischöfliche Eigenklöster bzw. andere Diözesanklöster und deren Reform; Urkunden, Privilegien, Schenkungen, Tauschgeschäfte; Bautätigkeit; Das Verhältnis zum damaligen Erzbischof von Salzburg; Wichtigkeit der Bildung, deren eventuelle Reform sowie die Aktivität in der Anschaffung von Handschriften) •Seelsorge (Quellen, die über die Seelsorgetätigkeit des jeweiligen Bischofs informieren; die geleistete Reform- und Aufbauarbeit; die innerhalb bzw. außerhalb der Diözese geleistete Missionsarbeit; eventuelle Teilnahme an Synoden, Reichs- oder Gerichtstagen) •Tod des Bischofs und seine eventuelle Bedeutung darüber hinaus – Legende, kultische Verehrung, Heiligsprechung Für ein rundes Gesamtbild dieser Arbeit und des Lebenslaufes der drei Bischöfe war es unverzichtbar, jeweils einen individuellen Zug Abrahams, Pilgrims und Wolfgangs zu schildern, der sich zwar nicht zu einem Vergleich eignet, aber aus ihrem Wirken nicht wegzudenken ist. (Siehe Teilkapitel „Individuelles“.) Der abschließende Vergleich der drei Bischöfe zeigt, das sich in ihrem Leben und Wirken sowohl einige interessante Gemeinsamkeiten wie auch zahlreiche Unterschiede feststellen lassen und dass es sich gelohnt hat, ihre Lebensläufe aus einem etwas anderen Blickwinkel, nämlich vergleichend, zu betrachten. Im Anhang findet sich noch ein Exkurs über Arnold und Otloh von St. Emmeram, denen wir die beiden wesentlichsten Viten über den heiligen Wolfgang von Regensburg verdanken.

= Pseudoflatoides insularis (Melichar, 1902); revised status by Bartlett et al. 2014: 167.
Type locality. Cuba.
Synoptic diagnosis. Atracodes insularis comb. nov. may be distinguished from congeners by: dirty yellow in color, forewings creamy white with yellow veins, mesonotum with two dark lateral lines near apical margin (Melichar 1902, plate 9. Fig. 10); three nearly lateral dark lines in coastal cells, dark line extending from costal margin near posterior of wing to ⅓ the length broken continuing to CuP, ScP darkened, two dark curved lines present, 1 near the base of the wing, 1 ¼ the length of the wing, dark curved line present about half the length of wing between ScP and CuP; vertex nearly as long as broad, frons nearly three times as long as broad; hind tibia with 2 lateral teeth, apical spinulation 2-6-8 (Medler 1994).
Remarks. This species is excluded from the key because the holotype is female (Melichar 1902, Medler 1994) without definitively associated males. Medler (1994) restored this taxon to species status (after being treated as a subspecies) because comparative features of the ‘tortrix complex of species’ (Medler 1994: 222) were not properly elucidated by Metcalf and Bruner (1948). A comparative study is needed, but is beyond the scope of the current project.

A CRITICAL EXAMINATION OF CONVERSATION TEXTBOOKS FOR UNDERGRADUATES: AN-NAJAH NATIONAL UNIVERSITY PERSPECTIVE
Creators: name: Khader, Rana S.
name: Mahmoud A. Ibrahim
Publisher: name: sadi jounal
Year: 2024
Subjects: Conversation skills, English textbook analysis, undergraduate education, learning dispositions, interactive activities

description: Teaching conversation skills presents challenges for educators, requiring careful selection of textbooks that align with learners' diverse needs and learning styles. This study proposes a systematic analysis framework for evaluating the content of an English conversation textbook used by second-year undergraduate students at An-Najah National University. The analysis focuses on five key criteria: topic consistency, frequency of drill exercises, syllabus type, self-expressive activities, and appropriateness of language use. These criteria aim to assess the textbook's effectiveness in facilitating oral communication skills development based on various learning dispositions. The findings reveal shortcomings in the analyzed conversation textbook, particularly in its lack of creative and interactive activities. Furthermore, the study identifies insufficient exercises that promote natural and authentic language practice. As a recommendation, the study advocates for the integration of role-playing and problem-solving activities in future conversation textbook designs. These enhancements are expected to enhance student engagement, motivation, and proficiency in spoken English.

title: Telekommunikation Literatursammlung
Creators: name: Wandler, Alexander
Year: 2008

description: Diese Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit den derzeitigen Funknetzwerken, die weltweit Anwendung finden, und deren Standortentscheidungen, Antennenwahl und der Frequenzverteilung. Das sind das GSM- und das UMTS-Netzwerk. Das erste Kapitel gibt die Geschichte der Telekommunikation wieder, wobei der Schwerpunkt auf die Einführung und Entwicklung der Funknetzwerke in Österreich liegt. In den beiden nachfolgenden Kapiteln werden die unterschiedlichen Arten der Telekommunikation beschrieben. Angefangen bei den Schnurlostelefonen bis hin zu Pagingsystemen und den verschiedenen Funknetzwerken. Weiters die Lizenzvergabe der Frequenzen, die zum Betrieb eines Funknetzwerkes nötig sind. In den Kapiteln Standortentscheidungen für die Aufstellung von Basisstationen und Antennen werden verschiedene Modelle bzw. Heuristiken (Greedy Randomized Adaptive Search Procedures, Tabu Search) und das Location-sensing Problem vorgestellt, die für die Standortentscheidungen von Basisstationen angewendet werden. Weiters werden die verschiedenen Antennen vorgestellt, die für die verschiedenen Zellen (Makro-, Mikro oder Piko-Zellen) zum Einsatz kommen. In den beiden letzten Kapiteln werden die Modelle für die Frequenzverteilung und die Möglichkeit was zu tun ist, wenn ein Mangel an Frequenzen besteht, beschrieben. Bei der Frequenzverteilung wird auf zwei Lösungsmethoden, nämlich auf optimale und heuristische Lösungsmethoden eingegangen, wobei aber das Hauptaugenmerk bei den heuristischen Lösungsmethoden liegt. Erwähnt werden zum Beispiel das Tabu Search, Local Search, Greedy Verfahren und viele weitere Heuristiken. Für den Engpass an Frequenzen, der bereits in der Realität aufgetreten ist, wird ein Grundmodell für die Kanalbestimmung vorgestellt.

description: Diese Dissertation befasst sich mit der Etablierung von Modellen des Glioblastoms, einem aggressiven Hirntumor. Aus Tumorgewebe oder Xenografts etablierte Zelllinien erlauben die Abbildung verschiedener Aspekte des Tumors. Dazu zählt die bei Glioblastomen häufige Amplifikation des EGFR-Gens. Weiterhin lassen sich Subpopulationen von Tumorzellen anreichern und analysieren, die eine gesteigerte Resistenz gegenüber Chemotherapeutika zeigen. Das verdeutlicht die Notwendigkeit des Einsatzes verschiedener Modelle, um ein besseres Verständnis tumorbiologischer Zusammenhänge zu erreichen.

Intercultural Communication Training and Law Enforcement Officers: A Career-Span Analysis and Education Agenda
Creators: name: Franco, Amanda M.
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: This thesis examines intercultural communication training and law enforcement education at the local level by means of a qualitative case study. Emphasis is given to the role of perceptions in law enforcement/community interactions as a means of understanding current relations between groups, as well as the role that cultural understanding of this should play in the creation of training curricula. There is a greater societal issue relative to interactions between minorities and law enforcement, and this research seeks to highlight how training, specifically training related to intercultural communication, can be impactful toward increasing understanding and mending group relations.

For this study, officer interviews were conducted as the primary means of data gathering. However, training materials, as well as information gained from participant/observation in a community panel, were also utilized during this research. Results indicate that not only are intercultural communication training and bias-awareness training a part of law enforcement curricula, but also that these topics were well received by officers participating in the case study. While some challenges are noted, overall, the participating police department and officers showed consistently moderate to high levels of cultural and bias-awareness, as well as a consistent focus on the community.
