description: Process mining aims to gain knowledge of business processes via the discovery of process models from event logs generated by information systems. The insights revealed from process mining heavily rely on the quality of the event logs. Activities extracted from different data sources or the free-text nature within the same system may lead to inconsistent labels. Such inconsistency would then lead to redundancy in activity labels, which refer to labels that have different syntax but share the same behaviours. Redundant activity labels could introduce unnecessary complexities to the event logs. The identifications of these labels from data-driven process discovery are difficult and rely heavily on human intervention. Neither existing process discovery algorithms nor event data preprocessing techniques can solve such redundancy efficiently. In this paper, we propose a multi-view approach to automatically detect redundant activity labels using not only context-aware features such as control--flow relations and attribute values but also semantic features from the event logs. Our evaluation of several publicly available datasets and a real-life case study demonstrate that our approach can efficiently detect redundant activity labels even with low-occurrence frequencies. The proposed approach can add value to the preprocessing step to generate more representative event logs.

description: The C3 enzymes from Clostridium (C.) botulinum (C3bot) and Clostridium limosum (C3lim) are single chain protein toxins of about 25 kDa that mono-ADP-ribosylate Rho-A, -B, and -C in the cytosol of mammalian cells. We discovered that both C3 proteins are selectively internalized into the cytosol of monocytes and macrophages by an endocytotic mechanism, comparable to bacterial AB-type toxins, while they are not efficiently taken up into the cytosol of other cell types including epithelial cells and fibroblasts. C3-treatment results in disturbed macrophage functions, such as migration and phagocytosis, suggesting a novel function of clostridial C3 toxins as virulence factors, which selectively interfere with these immune cells. Moreover, enzymatic inactive C3 protein serves as a transport system to selectively deliver pharmacologically active molecules into the cytosol of monocytes/macrophages without damaging these cells. This review addresses also the generation of C3-based molecular tools for experimental macrophage pharmacology and cell biology as well as the exploitation of C3 for development of novel therapeutic strategies against monocyte/macrophage-associated diseases.

description: Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is an incurable neurodegenerative disease characterized by dysfunction and loss of upper and lower motor neurons (MN). Despite several studies identifying drastic alterations affecting synaptic composition and functionality in different experimental models, the specific contribution of impaired activity to the neurodegenerative processes observed in ALS-related MN remains controversial. In particular, contrasting lines of evidence have shown both hyper- as well as hypoexcitability as driving pathomechanisms characterizing this specific neuronal population. In this study, we combined high definition multielectrode array (HD-MEA) techniques with transcriptomic analysis to longitudinally monitor and untangle the activity-dependent alterations arising in human C9orf72-mutant MN. We found a timedependent reduction of neuronal activity in ALSC9orf72 cultures occurring as synaptic contacts undergo maturation and matched by a significant loss of mutant MN upon aging. Notably, ALS-related neurons displayed reduced network synchronicity most pronounced at later stages of culture, suggesting synaptic imbalance. In concordance with the HD-MEA data, transcriptomic analysis revealed an early up-regulation of synaptic terms in ALSC9orf72 MN, whose expression was decreased in aged cultures. In addition, treatment of older mutant cells with Apamin, a KC channel blocker previously shown to be neuroprotective in ALS, rescued the time-dependent loss of firing properties observed in ALSC9orf72 MN as well as the expression of maturityrelated synaptic genes. All in all, this study broadens the understanding of how impaired synaptic activity contributes to MN degeneration in ALS by correlating electrophysiological alterations to aging-dependent transcriptional programs.
title: New economy and growth

description: KURZFASSUNG Auch wenn die "New Economy" schon seit längerer Zeit existiert, begann sie seit Mitte der Neunziger Jahre eine wichtige Rolle, nicht nur in der US-Wirtschaft, sondern in der gesamten Weltwirtschaft zu spielen. Es ist das Ziel dieser Arbeit zu erklären, wie die "New Economy" heute funktioniert und wie sie wächst, unter Zugrundelegung sowohl empirischer Daten als auch theoretischer Analysen. Zunächst werden empirische Daten, die "New Economy" betreffend, präsentiert. Weiters werden Unterlagen einiger Gelehrter dieser Wissenschaft Fragen unterworfen, um zu einer Definition der "New Economy" zu gelangen. Für die klassische Wachstumsanalyse wurde das Solow Modell der Wachstumstheorie angewendet. Berücksichtigt wurden die beiden Hauptfaktoren der Erzeugung: Arbeit und Technologie, als vornehmliche Gründe für die Entwicklung der "New Economy". Mehr im Detail werden auch die vier Perspektiven (Organisation, Markt, Produkte und Neuerungen) in Unternehmen, welche die "New Economy" eingeführt haben, untersucht. Die Wachstumsanalyse der "New Economy" wird im zweiten Teil dieser Arbeit al starke Ergänzung zum Solow Modell eingebracht. Letztendlich ist die neue Theorie der vier Perspektiven der Höhepunkt dieser Arbeit, die die Entwicklungsanalyse der "New Economy" untersucht.
description: While the New Economy came into existence a long time ago, it began to play a major role from the mid 1990s in not only the US economy but also the world economy. The purpose of this work is to explain how the New Economy is today and how it grows, by providing both empirical evidence and theoretical analysis. First, some empirical evidence on the New Economy will be presented. Further questions will be addressed by studying papers from some scholars in this science in order to arrive at a definition of the New Economy. For the classical growth analysis theory, we used the Solow Model growth theory. We used the two major production factors: Labor and Technology as the main reasons for the development of the New Economy. We also study in more detail, the theory of four perspectives (Organization, Market, Products and the Innovation) in the firms of the New Economy. The growth analysis of the New Economy will be introduced in the second part of this work as a strong supplement to the Solow Model. Finally, the new theory of four perspectives is the highlight in this work in studying the development analysis of the New Economy.

description: Background: Physicians, especially psychiatrists, have a high risk of job-related stress, and mental impairment. In our study we examined changes in private and occupational stress factors and mental health within a decade. The legislative reduction of physicians' working hours in Germany during this period made it possible to investigate the impact of working hours in particular. Methods: Questionnaires were administered at two psychiatrist meetings (2006 and 2016) about job and family situation, depressiveness, burnout and effort-reward imbalance. A total of N = 1,797 datasets were analyzed. Results: Working hours and free weekends were associated with mental health indices. Correlation analyses showed that a reduction in weekly working hours and working days at weekends was related to reduced scores for effort-reward-imbalance, burnout and depression. Conclusions: Our data show changes in workplace stress and mental health in psychiatrists in a decade in which a reduction in working hours has been required by law. These results can provide indications of effective prevention strategies in the professional context of physicians working in psychiatry.

description: Polydopamine (PDA), a unique bioinspired polymer, has been a subject of interest in ﬁelds including orthopedic biomaterials and antibacterial surfaces. Its osteogenic effects and ability to control surface traits through precise variables (e.g., pH, temperature) have led to its use as a coating in the enhancement of a wide range of materials, including metals and ceramics. In this Thesis, two studies were carried out to better understand the capability and mechanism of PDA-mediated bioactivity. In the ﬁrst study, we investigated whether PDA coatings can further enhance the bioactivity of nanoporous Titanium (NPTi). While physicochemical traits were in line with literature, PDA was effective in enhancing cell proliferation, beyond NPTi, as early as 8 hours with enhancement in cell spreading and focal adhesion prevalence as early as 1 hour. No changes in adsorptive capacity were found, suggesting a serum-independent component (SIC) of the surface. The second study was focused on (1) determining how treatment parameters inﬂuence the physiochemical makeup of PDA surfaces, (2) assessing how PDA surfaces inﬂuence stem cell behavior and (3) conﬁrming and investigating the SIC of PDA effect. Results conﬁrm that there is indeed a SIC of PDA coatings with enhancement in cell spreading that improves with the increased size and density of PDA particles. Our ﬁndings show that the SIC works in concert with circulating sera to elicit the bioactive effects of PDA. The novel rPDA surface, obtained by adding rotation during the coating deposition, is also shown to elevate bioactivity during normal culturing, beyond classical coatings, with ongoing work suggesting enhancement in the osteogenic differentiation of hMSCs. Taken together, this work has demonstrated novel aspects underlying the potential and mechanism of action for the bioactivity of PDA, ultimately providing new evidence supporting the use of PDA as a biomedical material.

description: TMPRSS2 is a type II transmembrane protease with broad expression in epithelial cells of the respiratory and gastrointestinal tract, the prostate, and other organs. Although the physiological role of TMPRSS2 remains largely elusive, several endogenous substrates have been identified. TMPRSS2 serves as a major cofactor in SARS-CoV-2 entry, and primes glycoproteins of other respiratory viruses as well. Consequently, inhibiting TMPRSS2 activity is a promising strategy to block viral infection. In this review, we provide an overview of the role of TMPRSS2 in the entry processes of different respiratory viruses. We then review the different classes of TMPRSS2 inhibitors and their clinical development, with a focus on COVID-19 treatment.

description: Environmental knowledge has been established as a behavior-distal, but necessary antecedent of pro-environmental behavior. The magnitude of its effect is difficult to estimate due to methodological deficits and variability of measures proposed in the literature. This paper addresses these methodological issues with an updated, comprehensive and objective test of environmental knowledge spanning a broad variety of current environment related topics. In a multivariate study (n = 214), latent data modeling was employed to explore the internal factor structure of environmental knowledge, its relationship with general knowledge and explanatory power on pro-environmental behavior. We tested competing factor models and uncovered a general factor of environmental knowledge. The main novel finding of the study concerns its relationship with general knowledge. Employing an established test of general knowledge to measure crystallized intelligence revealed a near perfect relationship between environmental and general knowledge. This general knowledge (including the environmental domain) accounted for 7% of the variance in environmentally significant behavior. Age, additionally to acquired education, emerged as a common predictor for both general knowledge and environmentally significant behavior. We discuss the consequences of the strong relation between general and environmental knowledge and provide a possible explanation for the positive age-environmental conservation relationship reported in the literature.

description: This study delves into the intricate dynamics guiding consumer choices when purchasing motor vehicles, centering on customers of CFAO Motors Zambia Limited (CFAO) and the company’s key brand offerings: Toyota, Ford, Suzuki, and Volkswagen (VW). The research paper aims to identify the primary drivers of consumer decisions and their hierarchical significance, offering practical guidance for CFAO and the automotive sector at large. The study focuses on unraveling the complexities of consumer decision-making, analyzing how factors such as brand loyalty, pricing, infrastructure accessibility, environmental concerns, and social influences influence consumer decision making when buying motor vehicles.Key findings underscore the pivotal roles of brand loyalty and pricing in consumers' decisions, with infrastructure availability, environmental considerations, and social factors also exerting influence, in that respective order. Notably, a direct link between brand loyalty and the decision to purchase is observed.The research paper’s limitations include the study's narrow focus on CFAO and its brands, potentially constraining its broader applicability. Additionally, the evolving landscape, especially with the rise of electric vehicles (EVs), may affect the study's relevance over time.Recommendation’s encompass strengthening weaker brands through targeted marketing and enhancing infrastructure for maintenance and service centers. Embracing a customer-centric approach, sustainability, and leveraging brand loyalty metrics are advised for continual improvement.Overall, the study enriches understanding of consumer decision-making in the automotive sector, offering actionable insights to enhance industry competitiveness and consumer satisfaction.

description: Recent studies have highlighted the relevance of sleep for procrastination at work. Procrastination at work is defined as the irrational delay of the initiation or completion of work-related activities. In line with recent studies, we offer a self-regulation perspective on procrastination. We argue that procrastination is an outcome of depleted self-regulatory resources and that the restoration of self-regulatory resources during high-quality sleep at night would prevent procrastination. Aims In an attempt to further develop this line of research, the current study aimed to achieve a broader understanding of the relevance of sleep and circadian rhythm for procrastination. Therefore, we explored the effect of sleep quality on procrastination for different chronotypes. We also considered the shift to daylight saving time as a phenomenon that aggravates circadian misalignment and thereby later chronotypes' dependence on high-quality sleep. Specifically, we hypothesized that compared to employees with an earlier chronotype (morning types), employees with a later chronotype (evening types) are more dependent on good sleep at night to prevent procrastination the next day. This effect would be especially pronounced after the shift to daylight saving time. Methods For this repeated-measures study, participants were 101 full-time employees. They completed a general questionnaire and day-specific questionnaires on the Monday before and the Monday following the shift to daylight saving time. Results The multilevel analyses showed that employees procrastinated less on days following nights during which they slept better and that later chronotypes experienced more procrastination than earlier chronotypes. Our findings also supported the hypothesis that the relationship between sleep quality and procrastination is stronger for later chronotypes compared to earlier chronotypes on the Monday following the shift to daylight saving time. In other words, the lower the sleep quality of later chronotypes during the previous night, the more they procrastinated on the Monday following the shift to daylight saving time. Discussion Our findings further corroborate the existing findings on the relevance of sleep and chronotype for well-being and performance at work.

Among different classes of ISEs, sulfides are particularly appealing due to their higher ionic conductivity, ductility, and lower density compared with oxides. However, most of the preparation methods proposed so far require either the time-consuming mechanical ball-milling process or the energy-consuming high-temperature solid-state reaction. Herein, a new and fast liquid-assisted approach to synthesize LiI-doped glassy Li2S-P2S5 (LPS) with excellent electrochemical and morphological features is reported. The obtained solid electrolyte offers an ionic conductivity of 1.2 mS cm−1 at room temperature and establishes a rather stable interphase with lithium. These enable rather high critical current densities (up to 1 mA cm−2), as well as enhanced cathode active material utilization in solid-state lithium metal cells.

Year: 2018

description: In this poster we profile several mutation impact predictors. We discuss how much of the exome predictors call as damaging and suggest deleteriousness may be over-predicted. We identify that the choice of negative examples in training and evaluation of predictors may explain why this is the case. We characterize the differences between predictors.

description: Physiological studies documented highly specific corticofugal modulations making subcortical centers focus processing on sounds that the auditory cortex (AC) has experienced to be important. Here, we show the effects of focal conditioning (FC) of the primary auditory cortex (FCAI) on auditory brainstem response (ABR) amplitudes and latencies in house mice. FCAI significantly increased ABR peak amplitudes (peaks I–V), decreased thresholds, and shortened peak latencies in responses to the frequency tuned by conditioned cortical neurons. The amounts of peak amplitude increases and latency decreases were specific for each processing level up to the auditory midbrain. The data provide new insights into possible corticofugal modulation of inner hair cell synapses and new corticofugal effects as neuronal enhancement of processing in the superior olivary complex (SOC) and lateral lemniscus (LL). Thus, our comprehensive ABR approach confirms the role of the AC as instructor of lower auditory levels and extends this role specifically to the cochlea, SOC, and LL. The whole pathway from the cochlea to the inferior colliculus appears, in a common mode, instructed in a very similar way.

description: The COACTIV video study is part of the COACTIV research program in which secondary mathematics teachers whose students participated in PISA 03/04 were examined, with respect to their professional knowledge, motivational orientations, beliefs, and self-regulation. In the video study, 284 German secondary mathematics teachers were asked to specify how they would continue lessons shown in three short video clips that all ended at “educationally crucial” points. From the teachers’ written responses, which were coded by two independent evaluators according to five dimensions of high-quality teaching, their “situated reaction competency” (SRC) was inferred. Results relating to differences in school type (e.g., teachers from the German academic track performing better) and the relationship of SRC to other teacher characteristics (e.g., SRC was positively related to constructivist beliefs), as well as its impact on specific aspects of instructional quality, indicated the validity of the instrument.

description: For incoherent radar sensor networks, it is desirable to perform both monostatic and bistatic distance measurements. Especially, the bistatic measurements enable to achieve additional information about a target. As for bistatic measurements, different local oscillators are used for system operation, the phase noise (PN) at the receiving (RX) sensor node is uncorrelated to the PN of the transmitter (TX). This effect usually degrades the signal-to-noise ratio for bistatic measurements in comparison to the monostatic measurements. This letter briefly discusses the problem of PN correlation in bistatic distance measurements and proposes a novel system approach that mitigates phase errors between TX and RX oscillators. The proposed concept is mathematically derived and proven with measurements using a radar demonstrator at 77 GHz.

description: Background While for individuals with obesity an association between hyperleptinemia and an increased risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is assumed, a leptin deficiency is also related to the development of NAFLD early in life in ob/ob mice, in patients with leptin deficiency due to biallelic likely pathogenic variants in the leptin gene, and in patients with lipodystrophy. Objectives To investigate the association of circulating leptin levels in pre-pubertal children with obesity and steatosis hepatis. Methods The cross-sectional study consisted data of n=97 (nmale=76) pre-pubertal children (11.8 ± 1.5 years) with obesity (BMIz: 2.4 ± 0.4). Fasting concentrations of cardiometabolic parameters were measured: insulin, c-peptide, glucose, triglyceride, cholesterol, HDL, LDL, AST, ALT, GGT, leptin. Steatosis hepatis was diagnosed by an ultrasound examination (mild, moderate or severe). Patients were categorized into two groups: low z-score of circulating leptin levels (≤25th percentile) vs. normal z-score of circulating leptin levels. Results One-third of the children with obesity were diagnosed with steatosis hepatis (I°: 63.6%, II°/III°: 36.4%). Children with steatosis hepatis had significantly lower z-scores of circulating leptin levels compared to children with an unremarkable liver ultrasonography (-2.1 ± 0.8 vs. -0.7 ± 0.6). Z-scores of circulating leptin levels correlate negatively with degree of steatosis hepatis. Children with low z-scores of circulating leptin levels had significantly higher triglyceride, fasting insulin and c-peptide levels compared to children with normal z-scores of circulating leptin levels. Conclusion Prepubertal children with NAFLD and obesity and partial leptin deficiency might be defined as a clinical subgroup.

description: This paper presents a trajectory planner for autonomous driving based on a Nonlinear Model Predictive Control (NMPC) algorithm that accounts for Pacejka's nonlinear lateral tyre dynamics as well as for zero speed conditions through a novel slip angles calculation. In the NMPC framework, road boundaries and obstacles (both static and moving) are taken into account thanks to soft and hard constraints implementation. The numerical solution of the NMPC problem is carried out using ACADO toolkit coupled with the quadratic programming solver qpOASES. The effectiveness of the proposed NMPC trajectory planner has been tested using CarMaker multibody models. Time analysis results provided by the simulations shown, state that the proposed algorithm can be implemented on the real-time control framework of an autonomous vehicle under the assumption of data coming from an upstream estimation block.
