title: Kunst in der Krise
Creators: name: Mayer, Marcus
Year: 2009

description: Die im Herbst 2008 ausgebrochene Krise auf den internationalen Finanzmärkten ist das Ergebnis langjähriger Spekulationen auf dem – insbesondere amerikanischen – Immobilien- und Hypothekenmarkt. Bis Sommer 2009 sind es vor allem Banken, die die Auswirkungen in voller Stärke spüren, aber auch Wirtschaftsbetriebe bspw. aus der Automobilbranche, der Pharma- und Elektronikindustrie sowie Luftfahrtunternehmen kämpfen um ihre Existenz. Und damit ist der Zenit der Krise wohl noch lange nicht erreicht. Aus dieser Perspektive heraus hat sich auch das Landschaftsbild im Kunst- und Kultursponsoring verändert. Ehemals als verlässlich geltende und gut dotierte Sponsoren regulieren ihre Tätigkeit zurück, gesellschaftliche und wirtschaftliche Werte werden mit diesem neuen Hintergrund neu ausgerichtet. Die Arbeit soll – ausgehend von den veränderten Rahmenbedingungen durch die Weltwirtschaftskrise – die Bedeutung des Kunst- und Kultursponsorings als Kommunikationsinstrument (inklusive zweier Beispiele aus der Wirtschaft, deren Rahmenbedingungen sich geändert haben) skizzieren sowie die historische Entwicklung vom Mäzenatentum zu einem modernen Marketing-Tool beschreiben. Sie lässt Sponsoren und Sponsoringpartner zur aktuellen Situation zu Wort kommen. Auch die Rolle des Staates und in diesem Zusammenhang die Verunsicherung durch das – möglicherweise überzogene – Antikorruptionsgesetz (Stichwort: Anfütterungsverbot) wird kurz gestreift.
description: The economic crisis that broke out in autumn 2008 can be directly related to many years of speculation in the real estate and mortgage markets, particularly in the USA. Of all the industry sectors the banks will be hit the most, but also the automotive, pharmaceutical, electronics and airline sectors are fighting for survival. However, the worst is probably still to come. In this situation the landscape in arts and culture sponsorship has changed accordingly. Sponsors formerly considered reliable and well funded have cut back their sponsoring budgets; social and economic values have been redefined against this background. Based on the worldwide economic crisis, the purpose of my thesis is to highlight the importance of arts and culture sponsorship as a means of communication and describe its historic development, beginning from Maecenas to a modern marketing tool. I will give two examples from business practice where framework conditions have greatly changed, and quote sponsors and sponsorship partners regarding what they think about the current situation. Also the role of the state and the insecurity brought about by the newly introduced (and perhaps excessive) anti-corruption law will be briefly discussed.

description: In virtualized radio access network (vRAN), the base station (BS) functions are decomposed into virtualized components that can be hosted at the centralized unit or distributed units through functional splits. Such flexibility has many benefits; however, it also requires solving the problem of finding the optimal splits of functions of the BSs in such a way that minimizes the total network cost. The underlying vRAN system is complex and precise modelling of it is not trivial. Formulating the functional split problem to minimize the cost results in a combinatorial problem that is provably NP-hard, and solving it is computationally expensive. In this paper, a constrained deep reinforcement learning (RL) approach is proposed to solve the problem with minimal assumptions about the underlying system. Since in deep RL, the action selection is the outcome of inference of a neural network, it can be done in real-time while training to update the neural networks can be done in the background. However, since the problem is combinatorial, even for a small number of functions, the action space of the RL problem becomes large. Therefore, to deal with such a large action space, a chain rule-based stochastic policy is exploited in which a long short-term memory (LSTM) network-based sequence-to-sequence model is applied to estimate the policy that is selecting the functional split actions. However, the utilized policy is still limited to an unconstrained problem, and each split decision is bounded by vRAN's constraint requirements. Hence, a constrained policy gradient method is leveraged to train and guide the policy toward constraint satisfaction. Further, a search strategy by greedy decoding or temperature sampling is utilized to improve the optimality performance at the test time. Simulations are performed to evaluate the performance of the proposed solution using synthetic and real network datasets.

Cliques in geometric inhomogeneous random graph

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Probability (math.PR)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: Many real-world networks were found to be highly clustered, and contain a large amount of small cliques. We here investigate the number of cliques of any size k contained in a geometric inhomogeneous random graph: a scale-free network model containing geometry. The interplay between scale-freeness and geometry ensures that connections are likely to form between either high-degree vertices, or between close by vertices. At the same time it is rare for a vertex to have a high degree, and most vertices are not close to one another. This trade-off makes cliques more likely to appear between specific vertices. In this paper, we formalize this trade-off and prove that there exists a typical type of clique in terms of the degrees and the positions of the vertices that span the clique. Moreover, we show that the asymptotic number of cliques as well as the typical clique type undergoes a phase transition, in which only k and the degree-exponent tau are involved. Interestingly, this phase transition shows that for small values of tau, the underlying geometry of the model is irrelevant: the number of cliques scales the same as in a non-geometric network

description: Objectives: Disease-modifying therapies for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) are still not satisfactory. The Rho kinase (ROCK) inhibitor fasudil has demonstrated beneficial effects in cell culture and animal models of ALS. For many years, fasudil has been approved in Japan for the treatment of vasospasm in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage with a favorable safety profile. Here we describe a clinical trial protocol to repurpose fasudil as a disease-modifying therapy for ALS patients. Methods: ROCK-ALS is a multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled phase IIa trial of fasudil in ALS patients (EudraCT: 2017-003676-31, NCT: 03792490). Safety and tolerability are the primary endpoints. Efficacy is a secondary endpoint and will be assessed by the change in ALSFRS-R, ALSAQ-5, slow vital capacity (SVC), ECAS, and the motor unit number index (MUNIX), as well as survival. Efficacy measures will be assessed before (baseline) and immediately after the infusion therapy as well as on days 90 and 180. Patients will receive a daily dose of either 30 or 60 mg fasudil, or placebo in two intravenous applications for a total of 20 days. Regular assessments of safety will be performed throughout the treatment period, and in the follow-up period until day 180. Additionally, we will collect biological fluids to assess target engagement and evaluate potential biomarkers for disease progression. A total of 120 patients with probable or definite ALS (revised El Escorial criteria) and within 6–18 months of the onset of weakness shall be included in 16 centers in Germany, Switzerland and France. Results and conclusions: The ROCK-ALS trial is a phase IIa trial to evaluate the ROCK-inhibitor fasudil in early-stage ALS-patients that started patient recruitment in 2019.

description: Diese Arbeit untersucht die Wirkung von Sport-Sponsoring am Beispiel der Telekom Austria während der UEFA EURO 2008TM. Im Mittelpunkt der Untersuchung steht der Imagetransfer. Wobei aufgrund des kurzen Untersuchungszeitraums vielmehr nur ein Transfer einzelner Imagefacetten gemessen werden kann. Zusätzlich wird am Beispiel der Telekom Austria auch die Wirkung von Sport-Sponsoring im Hinblick auf die Bekanntheit bzw. die Erinnerung an den Sponsor überprüft. Bestimmte Einflussfaktoren, die die Wirkung begünstigen können, werden dabei ebenso berücksichtigt. Zur Datengewinnung wird eine Online-Befragung in einem Pre/Post-Design durchgeführt. Die unterschiedlichen Einflussgrößen werden hauptsächlich durch Rating-Skalen erhoben. Für den Imagetransfer ist das Semantische Differenzial vorgesehen und die Erinnerungsmessung erfolgt mit sogenannten Recalls. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass nahezu alle vier Einflussfaktoren – Produkt-Involvement, Event-Involvement, Event/Sponsor-Fit und Event-Gefallen – auf die Wirkung des Imagetransfers und die Erinnerung an den Sponsor Einfluss nehmen.

description: Einstein's theory of General Relativity is one of the pillars of modern physics. For decades, the theory has been mainly tested in the weak field regime with experiments in the Solar System and observations of binary pulsars. Thanks to a new generation of observational facilities, the past 5 years have seen remarkable changes in this field and there are now numerous efforts for testing General Relativity in the strong field regime with black holes and neutron stars using different techniques. Here I will review the work of my group at Fudan University devoted to test General Relativity with black hole X-ray data.

description: We propose and study Th-QAOA (pronounced Threshold QAOA), a variation of the Quantum Alternating Operator Ansatz (QAOA) that replaces the standard phase separator operator, which encodes the objective function, with a threshold function that returns a value $1$ for solutions with an objective value above the threshold and a $0$ otherwise. We vary the threshold value to arrive at a quantum optimization algorithm. We focus on a combination with the Grover Mixer operator; the resulting GM-Th-QAOA can be viewed as a generalization of Grover's quantum search algorithm and its minimum/maximum finding cousin to approximate optimization. Our main findings include: (i) we provide intuitive arguments and show empirically that the optimum parameter values of GM-Th-QAOA (angles and threshold value) can be found with $O(\log(p) \times \log M)$ iterations of the classical outer loop, where $p$ is the number of QAOA rounds and $M$ is an upper bound on the solution value (often the number of vertices or edges in an input graph), thus eliminating the notorious outer-loop parameter finding issue of other QAOA algorithms; (ii) GM-Th-QAOA can be simulated classically with little effort up to 100 qubits through a set of tricks that cut down memory requirements; (iii) somewhat surprisingly, GM-Th-QAOA outperforms non-thresholded GM-QAOA in terms of approximation ratios achieved. This third result holds across a range of optimization problems (MaxCut, Max k-VertexCover, Max k-DensestSubgraph, MaxBisection) and various experimental design parameters, such as different input edge densities and constraint sizes.

title: "24" Rezeption von Real-Time in Österreich und den USA
Creators: name: Mitterer, Regina
Year: 2009

description: In der vorliegenden Diplomarbeit wird die Darstellung und Rezeption von Real-Time im Fernsehen, am Beispiel der Produktion „24“, analysiert. Der Konstruktivismus bildet das theoretische Fundament unter der Prämisse, dass es die Medien sind, die Wirklichkeit erzeugen. Davon abgeleitet ergibt sich die zentrale Forschungsfrage, wie real Real-Time tatsächlich empfunden wird. Im Rahmen einer qualitativen Sozialforschung wird die Erhebungsmethode der Gruppendiskussion angewendet, bei der Meinungen und Einstellungen im sozialen Zusammenhang erhoben werden. Die Methode der Gruppendiskussion eignet sich besonders zur Erhebung kollektiver Einstellungen, Ideologien und Vorurteile. Die Erhebung in Österreich und den USA umfasst zwei differenzierte Gesellschaften und soziale Systeme. Ziel der empirischen Untersuchung ist, die Einstellung zur Serie „24“ zu erforschen. Auswertung und Analyse des Datenmaterials erfolgen nach Philip Mayrings Techniken der qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse, wobei die zusammenfassende Inhaltsanalyse zur Anwendung kommt. Durch die Analyse der Ergebnisse der Gruppendiskussionen kann an eine öffentliche Meinung, kollektive Einstellungen und Ideologien herangekommen werden. In Bezug auf die Rezeption und den internationalen Vergleich spielt die Theorie der Cultural Studies eine große Rolle, wobei Cultural Studies die Medienaneignung als Schnittstelle von Kultur und Medien verstehen. Die Wirklichkeitskonstruktionen unserer Mitmenschen sind Teil dieser Realität. Die Annäherung der Wirklichkeitskonstruktion beruht auf Interaktion bzw. Kommunikation. Die Bedeutung von Fernsehinhalten ergibt sich erst durch die Rezeption und Aneignung des Zuschauers. Kommunikation und Medien sind Mittel zur individuellen Wirklichkeitskonstruktion, sie dienen der sozialen Wirklichkeitskonstruktion und dem Aushandeln von Bedeutungen.

description: A new concept of the molecular structure optimization method based on quantum dynamics computations is presented. Nuclei are treated as quantum mechanical particles, as are electrons, and the many-body wave function of the system is optimized by the imaginary time evolution method. A demonstration with a 2-dimensional H$^+_2$ molecule shows that the optimized nuclear positions can be specified with a small number of observations. This method is considered to be suitable for quantum computers, the development of which will realize its application as a powerful method.

description: Protein kinases of the CK1 family can be involved in numerous physiological and pathophysiological processes. Dysregulated expression and/or activity as well as mutation of CK1 isoforms have previously been linked to tumorigenesis. Among all neoplastic diseases, colon and rectal cancer (CRC) represent the fourth leading cause of cancer related deaths. Since mutations in CK1sigma previously found in CRC patients exhibited increased oncogenic features, inhibition of CK1sigma is supposed to have promising therapeutic potential for tumors, which present overexpression or mutations of this CK1 isoform. Therefore, it is important to develop new small molecule inhibitors exhibiting higher affnity toward CK1sigma mutants. In the present study, we first characterized the kinetic properties of CK1sigma mutants, which were detected in different tumor entities. Subsequently, we characterized the ability of several newly developed IWP-based inhibitors to inhibit wild type and CK1sigma mutants and we furthermore analyzed their effects on growth inhibition of various cultured colon cancer cell lines. Our results indicate, that these compounds represent a promising base for the development of novel CRC therapy concepts.

description: We investigate the thermoelectric response of a coherent conductor in contact with a scanning probe. Coupling to the probe has the dual effect of allowing for the controlled local injection of heat currents into the system and of inducing interference patterns in the transport coefficients. This is sufficient to generate a multiterminal thermoelectric effect even if the conductor does not effectively break electron-hole symmetry and the tip injects no charge. Considering a simple model for noninteracting electrons, we find a nonlocal thermoelectric response which is modulated by the position of the hot probe tip, and a nonreciprocal longitudinal response which leads to a thermoelectric diode effect. A separate investigation of the effects of dephasing and of quasielastic scattering gives further insights into the different mechanisms involved.

description: We propose an extension to the transformer neural network architecture for general-purpose graph learning by adding a dedicated pathway for pairwise structural information, called edge channels. The resultant framework - which we call Edge-augmented Graph Transformer (EGT) - can directly accept, process and output structural information of arbitrary form, which is important for effective learning on graph-structured data. Our model exclusively uses global self-attention as an aggregation mechanism rather than static localized convolutional aggregation. This allows for unconstrained long-range dynamic interactions between nodes. Moreover, the edge channels allow the structural information to evolve from layer to layer, and prediction tasks on edges/links can be performed directly from the output embeddings of these channels. We verify the performance of EGT in a wide range of graph-learning experiments on benchmark datasets, in which it outperforms Convolutional/Message-Passing Graph Neural Networks. EGT sets a new state-of-the-art for the quantum-chemical regression task on the OGB-LSC PCQM4Mv2 dataset containing 3.8 million molecular graphs. Our findings indicate that global self-attention based aggregation can serve as a flexible, adaptive and effective replacement of graph convolution for general-purpose graph learning. Therefore, convolutional local neighborhood aggregation is not an essential inductive bias.

description: We investigate the possibility of determining the mass distribution of a gravitational lens via lensing observations. We consider an extended, compact gravitational lens, representing its static external gravitational potential via an infinite set of symmetric trace free (STF) multipole moments. Within the wave-optical treatment, we evaluate the caustics formed in the lens's point spread function (PSF). We study the only quantity that is available in astronomical lensing observations: the image of that PSF formed by an imaging telescope. This observable may be used to recover some physical characteristics of the lens, including its shape, orientation and composition. Illustrating this, we study exotic gravitational lenses formed by several well-known solids with uniform density. We show that when moments beyond the quadrupole are observed, some of the symmetry properties of the lens can be recovered. The presence of an octupole moment implies breaking the "north-south" symmetry of the mass distribution in the lens. The presence of a rotated hexadecapole moment implies breaking axial symmetry. As such, if observations of lensed images allow the reconstruction of these moments, important information about the mass distribution and dynamics of the lens can be obtained. This may help with choosing the most appropriate mass profile that is used to characterize the mass distribution of astrophysical lenses, such as the dark matter halos that are presumed to contain most of the mass of galaxies and clusters of galaxies. Our results are novel and offer new insight into gravitational lensing by realistic astrophysical systems.

description: High-order, beyond-pairwise interdependencies are at the core of biological, economic, and social complex systems, and their adequate analysis is paramount to understand, engineer, and control such systems. This paper presents a framework to measure high-order interdependence that disentangles their effect on each individual pattern exhibited by a multivariate system. The approach is centred on the 'local O-information', a new measure that assesses the balance between synergistic and redundant interdependencies at each pattern. To illustrate the potential of this framework, we present a detailed analysis of music scores from J.S. Bach, which reveals how high-order interdependence is deeply connected with highly non-trivial aspects of the musical discourse. Our results place the local O-information as a promising tool of wide applicability, which opens new perspectives for analysing high-order relationships in the patterns exhibited by complex systems.

description: We present OpenFish: an open source soft robotic fish which is optimized for speed and efficiency. The soft robotic fish uses a combination of an active and passive tail segment to accurately mimic the thunniform swimming mode. Through the implementation of a novel propulsion system that is capable of achieving higher oscillation frequencies with a more sinusoidal waveform, the open source soft robotic fish achieves a top speed of $0.85~\mathrm{m/s}$. Hereby, it outperforms the previously reported fastest soft robotic fish by $27\%$. Besides the propulsion system, the optimization of the fish morphology played a crucial role in achieving this speed. In this work, a detailed description of the design, construction and customization of the soft robotic fish is presented. Hereby, we hope this open source design will accelerate future research and developments in soft robotic fish.

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit thematisiert die Kommerzialisierungsentwicklungen im Kinderfernsehprogramm im deutschsprachigen Raum unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der Praxis des Merchandising. Die Beobachtung, dass uns Figuren aus dem Kinderprogramm längst nicht mehr ausschließlich im Fernsehen allein begegnen, sondern in mannigfacher Form auch auf Alltagsgegenständen oder als Spielwaren, stellte dabei den Ausgangspunkt des Themeninteresses dar. Es galt aufzuzeigen, wie es überhaupt dazu kam, dass man mittlerweile von einem „Merchandising-Boom“ mit Themen des Kinder-TV sprechen kann. Als methodisches Vorgehen wurde dabei die Zusammenschau bestehender Forschungsergebnisse aus den Bereichen Kinderfernseh-Forschung, Medienökonomie und Medienpädagogik gewählt. Es stellte sich heraus, dass sich die hinter dem Merchandising stehenden Vertragsabwicklungen, die die Lizensierung von Inhalten, Personen, Figuren, etc. betreffen (Licensing), mittlerweile zu einem zentralen Faktor in der Finanzierung von Fernsehproduktionen entwickelt haben. Es liegt im Interesse der Fernsehanstalten, Lizenzprodukte zu ihren Sendungen auf dem Markt zu bringen, um die Aufmerksamkeit der Kinder zunächst auf das Programm und schließlich auch auf den Sender selbst zu lenken. Andererseits war zu erläutern, welche (gesellschaftlichen) Entwicklungen diesen Boom begünstig(t)en. Es ist unbestreitbar, dass Kindheit heutzutage gleichzeitig als eine Medienkindheit und darüber hinaus auch als eine Konsumkindheit verstanden werden muss. Die Mediatisierung der kindlichen Lebenswelt ist - wie anhand mehrerer Faktoren, darunter der Medienbesitz, dargestellt – weit fortgeschritten. Und auch die Kaufkraft der Kinder ist im Laufe der Zeit verstärkt in den Fokus der Wirtschaft getreten, die in Gemeinschaft mit den Medien die jungen Konsumenten mit immer raffinierteren Produktverbünden umgarnt. So ließ sich der Schluss ziehen, dass Kommerzialisierungstendenzen des Kinderfernsehens eingesetzt haben, die sich aus einer Abkehr von klassischen Werbeformen und einer Orientierung hin zu alternativen Werbe- und Vermarktungsstrategien ergeben haben.

description: Optical metasurfaces consist of a 2D arrangement of scatterers, and they control the amplitude, phase, and polarization of an incidence field on demand. Optical metasurfaces are the cornerstone for a future generation of flat optical devices in a wide range of applications. The rapidly growing advances in nanofabrication have made the versatile design and analysis of these ultra-thin surfaces an ever-growing necessity. However, despite their importance, a comprehensive theory to describe the optical response of periodic metasurfaces in closed-form and analytical expressions has not been formulated, and prior attempts were frequently approximate. Here, we develop a theory that analytically links the properties of the scatterer, from which a periodic metasurface is made, to its optical response via the lattice coupling matrix. The scatterers are represented by their polarizability or T matrix, and our theory works for normal and oblique incidence. We provide explicit expressions for the optical response up to octupolar order in both spherical and Cartesian coordinates. Several examples demonstrate that our analytical tool constitutes a paradigm shift in designing and understanding optical metasurfaces. Novel fully-diffracting metagratings and particle-independent polarization filters are proposed, and novel insights into the response of Huygens' metasurfaces under oblique incidence are provided. Our analytical expressions are a powerful tool for exploring the physics of metasurfaces and designing novel flat optics devices.

description: Toroidal vortices are whirling disturbances rotating about a ring-shaped core while advancing in the direction normal to the ring orifice. Toroidal vortices are commonly found in nature and being studied in a wide range of disciplines. Here we report the experimental observation of photonic toroidal vortex as a new solution to Maxwell's equations with the use of conformal mapping. The helical phase twists around a closed loop leading to an azimuthal local orbital angular momentum density. The preparation of such intriguing light field may offer insights of extending toroidal vortex to other disciplines and find important applications in light-matter interaction, optical manipulation, photonic symmetry and topology, and quantum information.

description: In this work, we investigate the non-minimally coupled scenario in the context of warm inflation with quantum-corrected self-interacting potential. We transform the potential in the Jordan frame to the Einstein frame and consider a dissipation parameter of the form $Γ= C_{T}T$ with $C_T$ being a coupling parameter. We focus on the strong regime of which the interaction between inflaton and radiation fluid has been taken into account. We compute inflationary observables and constrain the parameters of our model using current Planck 2018 data. With the sizeable number of {\it e}-folds and proper choices of parameters, we discover that allowed values of $C_T$ lie in the range $0.014\lesssim C_{T}\lesssim 0.020$ in which the predictions are in good agreement with the latest Planck 2018 results at the $2\,σ$ confident level.

The use of coercive interventions in mental health care in Germany and the Netherlands: a comparison of the developments in two neighboring countries

description: In this review, we compare the use of coercion in mental health care in Germany and in the Netherlands. Legal frameworks and published data on involuntary commitment, involuntary medication, seclusion, and restraint are highlighted as well as the role of guidelines, training, and attitudes held by psychiatrists and the public. Legal procedures regulating involuntary admission and commitment are rather similar, and so is the percentage of involuntary admissions and the rate per 100,000 inhabitants. However, opposing trends can be observed in the use of coercive interventions during treatment, which in both countries are considered as a last resort after all other alternative approaches have failed. In the Netherlands, for a long time seclusion has been considered as preferred intervention while the use of medication by force was widely disapproved as being unnecessarily invasive. However, after increasing evidence showed that number and duration of seclusions as well as the number of aggressive incidents per admission were considerably higher than in other European countries, attitudes changed within recent years. A national program with spending of 15 million € was launched to reduce the use of seclusion, while the use of medication was facilitated. A legislation is scheduled, which will allow also outpatient coercive treatment. In Germany, the latter was never legalized. While coercive treatment in Germany was rather common for involuntarily committed patients and mechanical restraint was preferred to seclusion in most hospital as a containment measure, the decisions of the Constitutional Court in 2011 had a high impact on legislation, attitudes, and clinical practice. Though since 2013 coercive medication is approvable again under strict conditions, it is now widely perceived as very invasive and last resort. There is evidence that this change of attitudes lead to a considerable increase of the use of seclusion and restraint for some patients.

description: Chronic psychosocial stress is a risk factor for the development of physical and mental disorders accompanied or driven by an activated immune system. Given that chronic stress-induced systemic immune activation is lacking in germ-free and antibiotics-treated mice, a causal role of the gut microbiome in the development of stress-related disorders is likely. To address this hypothesis in the current study we employed the chronic subordinate colony housing (CSC, 19 days) paradigm, a preclinically validated mouse model for chronic psychosocial stress, known to alter the gut microbial signature and to induce systemic low-grade inflammation, as well as physical and mental abnormalities. In detail, we investigated if (i) CSC-induced alterations can be prevented by repeated transplantation of feces (FT) from non-stressed single-housed control (SHC) mice during CSC exposure, and (ii) if the transplantation of a “stressed” CSC microbiome is able to induce CSC effects in SHC mice. Therefore, we repeatedly infused SHC and CSC recipient mice rectally with SHC donor feces at days 4 and 11 of the CSC paradigm and assessed anxiety-related behavior on day 19 as well as physiological, immunological, and bone parameters on day 20. Furthermore, SHC and CSC recipient mice were infused with CSC donor feces at respective days. To exclude effects of rectal infusions per se, another set of SHC and CSC mice was infused with saline, respectively. Our results showed that transplantation of SHC feces had mild stress-protective effects, indicated by an amelioration of CSC-induced thymus atrophy, anxiety, systemic low-grade inflammation, and alterations in bone homeostasis. Moreover, transplantation of CSC feces slightly aggravated CSC-induced systemic lowgrade inflammation and alterations in bone homeostasis in SHC and/or CSC animals. In conclusion, our data provide evidence for a role of the host’s microbiome in many, but not all, adverse consequences of chronic psychosocial stress. Moreover, our data are consistent with the hypothesis that transplantation of healthy feces might be a useful tool to prevent/treat different adverse outcomes of chronic stress. Finally, our data suggests that stress effects can be transferred to a certain extend via FT, proposing therapeutic approaches using FT to carefully screen fecal donors for their stress/trauma history.
