description: In dieser Arbeit wird untersucht, ob Arbeitslosigkeit einen Einfluss auf das Aus- zugsverhalten junger Menschen in der Bundesrepublik (West) hat. Die Untersuchung wird auf Basis von Daten des sozioökonomischen Panels für die Jahrgänge von 1968 bis 1979 durchgeführt. Es wird ein Hazardratenmodell geschätzt, in welchem die Zielzustände "Single-Haushalt" und "Wohnung mit anderen" unterschieden werden. Es zeigt sich, dass entgegen der theoretischen Erwartung die Wahrscheinlichkeit des Auszuges aus dem Elternhaus durch Arbeitslosigkeit nicht verringert wird. Die Institution Familie fungiert also für junge Menschen nur in geringem Maße als Versicherung gegen Arbeitslosigkeit.

description: Artificial Intelligence (AI) has rapidly advanced in various domains, including its application in psychotherapy. AI-powered psychotherapy tools present promising solutions for increasing accessibility to mental health care. However, the integration of AI in psychotherapy raises significant ethical concerns that require thorough consideration and regulation to ensure ethical practice, patient safety, and data privacy. This article discusses the ethical considerations surrounding the utilization of AI in psychotherapy, emphasizing the need for responsible implementation, patient privacy, and the human-AI interaction.

The challenge raised by the use of artificial intelligence requires a comprehensive approach. Schools, in particular, are crucial in providing both knowledge and ethical guidance, helping young individuals decipher the complexities of online content. Additionally, parental support is essential, requiring the provision of time, fostering relationships, encouraging dialogue, and creating a safe environment to share experiences amidst the intricacies of adolescence. Reimagining social and healthcare services tailored for adolescents is equally crucial, taking into account recent societal changes. The integration of AI in psychotherapy has vast potential to transform mental healthcare. However, ensuring its accuracy and effectiveness demands a proactive approach to address associated ethical considerations. By adopting responsible practices, preserving patient autonomy, and continually refining AI systems, the field can leverage the benefits of AI in psychotherapy while maintaining high ethical standards.

description: We present two methodologies for Bayesian model choice and averaging in Gaussian directed acyclic graphs (dags). In both cases model determination is carried out by implementing a reversible jump Markov Chain Monte Carlo sampler. The dimension-changing move involves adding or dropping a (directed) edge from the graph. The first methodology extends the results in Giudici and Green (1999), by excluding all non-moralized dags and searching in the space of their essential graphs. The second methodology employs the results in Geiger and Heckerman (1999) and searches directly in the space of all dags. To achieve this aim we rely on the concept of adjacency matrices,  which  provides a relatively inexpensive check for acyclicity. The performance of our procedure is illustrated by means of two simulated datasets.

description: Introduction: Understanding the factors that influence women's cancer screening behavior is crucial in reducing cancer mortality through early detection. Therefore, the objective of this study was to examine the status of mammography and related factors among women who presented to the health centers of Khorasan Razavi province, Iran. Methods: For this study, a sample of 251011 women who visited healthcare centers affiliated with Mashhad University of Medical Sciences was selected. The study examined several variables, including sociodemographic information, current smoking, nutrition status, and physical exercise. All analyses were performed using Python programming language and SPSS software. Furthermore, to handle imbalanced data, we used SMOTE balancing method that is an oversampling method and produce synthetic samples from the minority class. Results: The factors of age, education, being employed, having children, family history of cancer, physical activity, smoking status, and diet were all predictors of mammography screening. Moreover, findings showed that age and family history of breast cancer were most important variables to predict mammography status, respectively. Conclusion: By examining various variables such as dietary habits, exercise, smoking, and demographic properties, it sheds light on the relationships between these factors and mammography screening. This provides valuable insights into the associations between breast cancer screening behavior and preventive lifestyle behaviors. By targeting both preventive lifestyle choices and breast cancer screening behaviors, interventions can effectively promote positive changes in behavior and ultimately reduce the incidence and impact of breast cancer.

description: Background - Appropriate adherence to hand hygiene (HH) practices by health care workers (HCWs) reduces the transmission of pathogens and subsequently the incidence of hospital acquired infections (HAIs), in health care settings. Strict monitoring and auditing of this simple and cost-effective intervention is very important, as it significantly contributes in reducing the HAIs.


Material & Methods – A retrospective observational study, evaluating the HH audits from June 2021 till May 2023 in a tertiary health care facility in North India. HH audits were conducted in the ICUs and wards daily, by the trained infection control nurses (ICNs), using direct observation method based on World health organization (WHO) hand hygiene observational forms. HH total adherence (HHTAR), partial adherence (HHPAR) and complete adherence rate (HHCAR) were analyzed in Microsoft Excel sheet. HHTAR rates were compared among different profession, moments and the month wise trend was also observed over the period.


Results –A total of 24,740 HH opportunities were observed.  The compliance rate for HHCAR, HHPAR and HHTAR were 20.3%, 41.5% and 61.4% respectively. Overall better compliance was reported from the ICUs, profession-specific compliance was highest among nurses (62.8%) and doctors (61.5%). Significant increase in adherence rate was appreciated post intervention 46.1% to 67.3%, (p value <0.01).


Conclusion – Continuous monitoring and reinforcement with timely feedback for intervention and regular auditing is a necessity to improve and maintain the appropriate HH practices among the HCWs. Low- and middle-income countries need to focus more on this simple and promising measure to combat the increasing HAI rates.

title: Burnoutrisiko bei österreichsichen Lehramtsstudierenden in Zusammenhang mit studienrelevanten Merkmalen und der Wahrnehmung von Belastungen
Creators: name: Rumpler, Manuela
Year: 2013

description: Ausgangspunkt der Arbeit waren die hohen Risikofaktoren in Zusammenhang mit der Berufswahlentscheidung von Lehramtsstudierenden in Deutschland (Rothland, 2011). Ziel der Arbeit ist es, studienrelevante Merkmale und Faktoren, die zusätzlichen Einfluss auf den Erfolg des Studiums haben, sowie Belastungen österreichischer Lehramtsstudierender genauer anzusehen und diese mit dem Burnoutrisiko bzw. den generellen Risikotypen (gemessen mit dem AVEM) zu vergleichen. Die Ergebnisse, die auf einer Stichprobe von 182 österreichischen Lehramtsstudierenden aus Wien basieren, bestätigen den hohen Risikomuster B und A Anteil, der in Vorgängerstudien aus Deutschland gefunden wurde (Schaarschmidt, 2004; Schröder & Kiesche, 2006; Römer, Appel, Drews & Rauin, 2012; Rothland, 2011). Studierende mit Risikomuster B entscheiden sich tendenziell später für ein Lehramt, sind sich weitaus unsicherer und unzufriedener hinsichtlich ihrer Entscheidung. Des Weiteren konnten Zusammenhänge zwischen den Risikomustern und den alltäglichen Belastungen gefunden werden. Zudem wurden Zusammenhänge zwischen dem Burnout-Muster und dem niedrigen sozioökonomischen Status des Vaters gefunden. Auch eine geringe Zeitinvestition in das Studium wurde in Zusammenhang mit Burnout gefunden. Jedoch ist anzumerken, dass die Ergebnisse als eingeschränkt gültig zu betrachten sind, da es sich um eine anfallende Stichprobe handelt, und es wäre nötig, diese mit weiteren Studien mit eventuellen größeren Stichproben zu vergleichen.

description: Abstract


Introduction. Health promotion healthcare reorientation aims for health services focused not exclusively on diseases but also on prevention and health promotion. The implementation depends strongly on professionals’ willingness to actively participate in the reorientation. An effective strategy to boost reorientation is to reorient education and role definition of future professionals.


This paper examines whether photovoice, a qualitative research method, can be suitable to i) increase future health professionals’ awareness of users’ needs and expectations; and ii) enable a process of critical reflection on role definition and health services organisation.


Methods. One hundred and seventy-two medical students participated in the photovoice project. Participants were asked to produce one photo combined with an accompanying caption, responding to a pre-identified question: “What is, in your opinion, the main aspect affecting users' satisfaction/dissatisfaction in a healthcare facility?”. Participants discussed their photos in group discussions (n=16) and participated in data analysis sessions (n=4).


Results. Participants' contributions revolved around how services were delivered (e.g., kindness, accessibility, attention to additional needs) rather than the service provided. The students showed their empathic side and proposed smart and inclusive solutions to improve users' overall experience. The proposals often implied a change in behaviour of professionals -their future selves- towards patients and low-cost improvements of organisational practices.


Conclusions. This study demonstrated the value of using photovoice to reach medical students to integrate health promotion into their professional identities. The photovoice process, teamwork, and discussions opened a breach into traditional thinking about healthcare aspects often taken for granted or overlooked.  Our results confirm that a mix of advanced education and community-based participatory research activities has the potential to produce medical doctors responsive to users’ needs. This low-cost strategy should be considered for future interventions aimed at reorienting healthcare.

title: Analyse phenolischer Inhaltsstoffe von Drosera peltata mittels narrow bore HPLC
Creators: name: Fischer, Sonja
Year: 2013

description: Das Ziel der Diplomarbeit war die Untersuchung des Flavonoid- und Phenolcarbonsäuremusters in Handelsmustern von Drosera peltata und der Vergleich mit Proben von Drosera peltata aus der in vitro Kultivierung. Es wurde für Drosera peltata eine narrow-bore RP-HPLC Methode entwickelt, die eine präzise quantitative Analyse der phenolischen Inhaltsstoffe ermöglicht. Die verwendete stationäre Phase war eine C18 Säule (150 mm × 2,1 mm, 3 μm Partikelgröße). Als mobile Phase wurden Wasser (Eluent A) und Acetonitril (Eluent B), jeweils mit Essigsäure versetzt, verwendet. Acht unterschiedliche Drogenmuster von Drosera peltata wurden mit Methanol extrahiert. Die Inhaltsstoffe der Extrakte konnten mit dem entwickelten Elutionsgradienten gut aufgetrennt werden und wurden mit Hilfe des internen Standards Saponarin quantifiziert. Zur Validierung der Methode wurde auf die Reproduzierbarkeit der Extraktion und Analyse und auf die Wiederfindungsrate einzelner Analyten geprüft. Außerdem wurden die Quantifizierungs- und Detektionslimits aller phenolischen Komponenten bestimmt, wobei eine hohe Empfindlichkeit und Reproduzierbarkeit gezeigt werden konnte. Die phenolischen Inhaltsstoffe in Drosera peltata konnten mit der optimierten HPLC Methode sehr gut aufgetrennt und quantifiziert werden, und ein Vergleich der Handelsmuster mit Mustern aus der in vitro Kultivierung wurde möglich gemacht.
description: The objective of this thesis was to analyse flavonoids and phenolcarbonic acids in commercial samples of Drosera peltata in comparison with samples from in vitro cultivation. A RP-HPLC method, which allowed the accurate quantitative analysis of the phenolic compounds, was developed for Drosera peltata. The stationary phase was a C18 column (150 mm × 2.1 mm, 3 μm particle size) and as mobile phase water and acetonitrile (each acidified with acetic acid) were used. Eight different samples of Drosera peltata were extracted with methanol and a satisfying separation of the compounds by gradient elution was achieved. For the quantification saponarin was used as an internal standard. The developed method was validated in terms of reproducibility of the extraction and analysis as well as the recovery of flavonoids. Furthermore, the limits of detection and quantification were determined and a satisfying sensitivity and reproducibility was shown. With the optimized HPLC-method, an excellent separation and quantification of phenolic compounds in Drosera peltata was achieved and the commercial samples were compared with samples from in vitro cultivation.

description: Background: The language of medicine is constantly evolving, typically to better describe a new understanding of disease, adjust to changing social sensibilities, or simply to reflect a new drug class or category. We address the need for an updated language around monoclonal antibodies, or “mAbs”—a widely used medical term, but one which is now too general to accurately reflect the range of mAb pharmaceuticals, their effects, and the intended patients.


Methods: The question of “what should we call a monoclonal antibody immunisation against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) to ensure accurate understanding of the product?” was the basis for a virtual advisory panel in May 2022. The panel was convened by Sanofi with the intention of reviewing appropriate language in terminology in the context of mAb-based prophylaxis for RSV. The panel comprised several global experts on RSV and vaccination, a trained linguist specializing in doctor-patient interactions and medical language, and several experts in marketing and communications.


Results: We suggest the term “Direct Long-acting Antibody” (DLA) for a specific sub-class of mAbs for use in prevention of RSV disease in infants. This terminology should differentiate from other mAbs, which are generally not used as therapies in infants.


Conclusions: This change will more accurately convey the specific mode of action of a mAb in infants, and how it could impact the prevention of communicable diseases: this class of mAbs is not an active treatment, but rather will offer direct and rapid protection lasting at least 5 months.

description: Background: Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) is a psychological illness characterized by persistent and intrusive preoccupation with an imagined or slight defect in appearance. For individuals with BDD, these perceived defects are significant and prominent, leading to emotional distress, depression, anxiety, and impairment in daily functioning. Despite its impact, no prior studies have explored the prevalence of BDD among Lebanese university students. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the prevalence of BDD and investigate its association with mental health status (depression and anxiety), religiosity, eating disorder risk, and self-esteem among Lebanese University students.  Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted in March 2020, involving students from the Lebanese University. Data were collected using the dysmorphic concern questionnaire (DCQ), Rosenberg self-esteem scale (RSE), religiosity scale, patient health questionnaire (PHQ-9), generalized anxiety disorder assessment (GAD-7), Eating Attitude test-26 scale (EAT-26). Results: A total of 6448 participants were enrolled in our study. The overall prevalence of BDD among university students was (6.4%).Our results showed that Lebanese students with BDD were more likely to have anxiety ORadj 1.3 (95% CI:1.2-1.7) p-value 0.001, depression ORadj 1.2 (95% C:1.15-1.5) p-value 0.007, and eating disorder (Bulimia & Food preoccupation ORadj 1.06 (95% CI:1.03-1.2) P-value 0.0, and oral control ORadj 1.09 (95% CI:1.05-1.1)  P-value < 0.001) compared to those with no BDD. We also found that students with BDD had Lower Self-esteem ORadj 0.88 (95%CI: 0.78-0.9) P-value <0.001), and less likely to be religious ORadj 0.88 (95%CI: 0.82-0.9) P-value 0.02) compared to those with no BDD. Conclusion: This pioneering study in Lebanon sheds light on the prevalence of BDD among Lebanese university students and its associated factors. BDD was found to be significantly linked to elevated levels of depression, anxiety, and eating disorders, along with lower levels of self-esteem and religiosity. These findings underscore the importance of early detection of BDD during adolescence and young adulthood, necessitating timely psychological intervention to prevent chronicity and complications. Moreover, promoting widespread awareness through various social media and public platforms is essential to address this psychological issue effectively.

title: Geothermie - Energie der Zukunft?
Creators: name: Leitner, Ulrike
Year: 2013

description: Um Umweltprobleme, wirtschaftliche Abhängigkeiten und Ressourcenknappheit nachhaltig zu lösen, bedarf es einer umweltfreundlichen und unerschöpflichen Energiequelle. Im Inneren unserer Erde schlummert ein mächtiges Potential an Energie. Deshalb kommt der Nutzung von geothermischer Energie zur Energiebereitstellung eine ständig wachsende Bedeutung zu. Geothermie hat gegenüber anderen regenerativen Energien den Vorteil, dass sie weder von der Tages- oder Jahreszeit noch von klimatischen Bedingungen abhängig ist. Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit den Chancen und Möglichkeiten, die die Nutzung der tiefen Geothermie in Österreich bietet. Geologisch günstige Voraussetzungen für die Erschließung geothermaler Energie liegen in Österreich im Oberösterreichischen Molassebecken, im Steirischen Becken, im Wiener Becken und im Pannonischen Becken. In Österreich hat die Nutzung der Geothermie für balneologische Zwecke eine lange Tradition. Im internationalen Vergleich steht Österreich hinsichtlich der Erschließung geothermischer Energie erst am Beginn. Die energetische Verwendung von geothermischer Energie hat sich bis jetzt auf die direkte Warmwassernutzung und die Fern- und Nahwärmeversorgung beschränkt. Die Nutzung zur Stromerzeugung spielt noch eine untergeordnete Rolle. Für die Zukunft gibt es in Österreich noch beträchtliches Ausbaupotenzial. Dabei ist aber zu berücksichtigen, dass sich die Nutzungsmöglichkeiten regional sehr unterschiedlich verteilen. Damit die tiefe Geothermie in Österreich eine bedeutende Rolle als nachhaltige Energiequelle übernehmen kann, ist noch ein großer Forschungsbedarf gegeben.

description: The formation of the Himalayas and surrounding mountain ranges is one of
      the most significant tectonic events of the Cenozoic, with far reaching
      impacts on both regional and global climate. The Pamir represents the
      indented westward continuation of the northern margin of the Tibetan
      Plateau making them a key study area to examine internal deformation and
      intracontinental subduction processes. Yet the tectonics of the Pamir
      Salient is poorly understood. Much debate is ongoing, regarding the extent
      of indentation and mechanisms driving uplift of the Pamir. This project
      seeks to provide constraints on the timing of Pamir evolution and examine
      the impact of Pamir formation on the regional climate using a variety of
      techniques to date and interpret observed variations in terms of
      provenance, tectonism and climate, the results of which are presented
      here.

      At ~41 Ma the Tarim Sea retreated from the Aertashi region. Continental
      deposition ensued, dominated by the western Kunlun to the south.

      By 24-22 Ma, basinward expansion of the NW margin of Tibet coincides with
      the initiation of Pamir indentation. Activation of strike slip faulting,
      growth strata and exhumation along the Kashgar-Yecheng Transfer System is
      evidenced in the Aertashi region which may be linked to a pull-apart
      basin.

      By ~18.5 Ma, the onset of northward thrusting of the Kunlun hinterland and
      southward migrating foreland of the Tian Shan positions the Aertashi
      region in the depocenter of the Tarim Basin.

      By ~15 Ma, the Pamir Salient had propagated sufficiently far north, that
      the north Pamir, and by 11 Ma the Central Pamir were proximal to Aertashi.

      The Eocene – mid Miocene climate in the Tarim Basin was highly seasonal
      with evidence of increased aridity. Aridification was interrupted by a
      short period of increased humidity at ~17.6-15 Ma which can be linked to
      the mid-Miocene climate optimum, or a facies change. Limited comparative
      studies make climatic conclusions tentative.
title: Der Tod als (Gegen-)Spieler?
Creators: name: Wagner, Claudia
Year: 2013

description: Diese Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Darstellung des Todes als Spieler im schwedischen Schwarz-Weiß-Film "Det sjunde inseglet" (1957) von Ingmar Bergman. Wie wird der Tod dargestellt und welche Auswirkungen hat diese ‚Gestaltung' auf die Filmfiguren und die dramaturgische Struktur des Films? Woher kommt diese Art der Todesdarstellung? Welche Funktion übernimmt der Tod im Film? Diese und noch weitere Fragen werden mit Hilfe einer qualitativen Filmanalyse – unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der Szenen, in welchen der Tod in Interaktion mit den Filmfiguren tritt – versucht zu beantworten. Im ersten Teil der Arbeit werden verschiedene Aspekte, den Tod betreffend, beleuchtet, um eine Basis für die von Bergman im Film aufgegriffenen Problematiken zu schaffen. Dabei wird auf die Endgültigkeit und Unvorstellbarkeit des Todes, die Todesangst und deren Überwindung genauso eingegangen, wie auf die Entstehung des Todes in der Bibel und die Existenzphilosophie von Søren Kierkegaard. Ferner wird in diesem Teil auch eine Verbindung zwischen Johan Huizingas "Homo Ludens" und dem spielenden Tod hergestellt. Im zweiten Teil, dem Hauptteil der Arbeit, findet die Analyse des Films statt. Da der Tod nicht nur in Schweden, sondern auch in Bayern gerne spielt, folgt im Anschluss an diesen Teil ein kleiner Exkurs über "Die Geschichte vom Brandner Kaspar", eine Geschichte vom bayerischen Tod – Boanlkramer – der ‚sein' Spiel ums' Leben allerdings verliert. Im Resümee werden abschließend die Ergebnisse der Untersuchung des Films "Det sjunde inseglet" zusammengefasst.

description: Introduction: Screen time has increased during the COVID-19 pandemic, especially among children and teenagers. This has come at the expense of their healthy eating habits, physical activity and adequate amount of quality sleep. The excessive use of screen-device can lead to addiction which starts during adolescent years Objectives: 1) To assess prevalence of excess screen time among secondary school children. 2) To correlate BMI, sleep duration, duration of physical activity and food habits with screen time duration. Study settings and design: Cross-sectional study was conducted in secondary schools in the rural field practice area of a private medical college in Pune, India Methods and Material: The study included 184 school children from eighth to tenth standard. Data was collected using a self-administered, validated questionnaire. Results: Prevalence of excess screen time among secondary school children was 83.2%. Mobile phone was the most used device (98.9 %). There was a significant association between excess screen time and inadequate sleep. Conclusions: The present study reports high prevalence of excess screen time in rural school going children in rural India. There is a need for strategies to combat this in school health programs on priority.

description: Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are a major global public health concern, increasing the transmission of drug-resistant infections. This point prevalence survey investigated HAIs occurrence and antimicrobial consumption (AMC) in pre-COVID-19 era in the public hospitals of a region of Central Italy. Data were collected using the protocol standardised by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control. Three-hundred and sixty-four patients were included (59.3% male) in the study. Overall, HAIs prevalence was 6.6% (95%CI 4.4-9.5), ranging from 5.2% to 7.1% within the surveyed hospitals, with at least one infection in 24 patients (ten each in medical and surgical specialties wards, and four in intensive care). Risk factors for HAIs were advanced age, having undergone surgery and wearing invasive devices. At time of the survey, 44.7% (95%CI 39.7-49.9) of patients was under treatment with at least one antibiotic, and AMC varied between 43% and 48% within hospitals. In all hospitals, a prevalence higher than 10% was found for the prescription reasons other than prophylaxis or therapy. The results revealed a HAIs prevalence lower than that estimated compared to the most recent national data, in contrast to higher antimicrobial usage. These findings highlight the need to reinforce hygiene practices and develop bundles for HAIs, as a broad implementation of infection prevention and control practices extensively applied to both hub and spoke hospitals could significantly reduce their occurrence, as well as to implement antimicrobial stewardship for prescriptive appropriateness.

Epidemiological HIV infection surveillance

description: Background: Men who have sex with men (MSM) belong to the key population group which contributes to the high burden of HIV/AIDS despite the ongoing HIV prevention programs in Nigeria.  Objectives: The current study assessed the risk factors of HIV/AIDS among men who have sex with men in Akwa-Ibom State, Nigeria.  Methods: This study was a cross-sectional study of Four hundred men who have sex with men selected from three senatorial zones in Akwa Ibom State. A statistical package for service solution version 23 was used to analyze the data. Descriptive statistics, Relative risk and Binary logistic regression were used to compare proportions between risk factors and HIV/AIDS among the MSM. Results: More than half (50.5%) of the respondents were between the ages of 20-29 years. Above 66% of the respondent made their debut into MSM at the age bracket of 13-19years. This study found that about 44% preferred to have sex with men of the same age bracket. About 75% of the respondents said to have had sex with male partners within the last 3 months while only 25% of them answered ‘no’ to sexual intercourse within the past 3 months. In the same vein, 50% said they preferred unprotected sex with fellow men, and 34% preferred condomless sex with both male and female partners. Almost all the respondents (about 99%) reported having multiple sexual partners. More than 72% of the respondents said they had engaged in group sex, especially during their birthday, graduation parties and other occasions such as burial wake keep. More than half (64%) of the respondents reported that they use psychoactive substances (such as tramadol). Greater than half (54%) of the respondents reported having never shared injection needles. In this study, almost 97 % of the respondent reported having engaged in transactional sex in the past 3 months.11.8% of the 400 respondents tested positive while the rest tested negative for HIV. There was a significant association between risk factors and HIV among the MSM studied.  Conclusion: MSM in Akwa Ibom State have been found to engage more in high-risk behaviors which increases their vulnerability to contracting/transmitting HIV, therefore, a risk reduction program must be targeted at each specific identified risk is highly recommended.

Subjects: subject: mixture models,generalized linear models,robust statistics,R

description: In this paper we show how only a few outliers can completely break down EM-estimation of mixtures of regression models. A simple, yet very effective way of dealing with this problem, is to use a component where all regression parameters are fixed to zero to model the background noise. This noise component can be easily defined for different types of generalized linear models, has a familiar interpretation as the empty regression model, and is not very sensitive with respect to its own parameters.
