description: We propose a new non-perturbative method to search for marginal deformations in level truncated open string field theory. Instead of studying the flatness of the effective potential for the marginal field (which is not expected to give a one-to-one parametrization of the BCFT moduli space), we identify a new non-universal branch of the tachyon potential which, from known analytic examples, is expected to parametrize the marginal flow in a much larger region of the BCFT moduli space. By a level 18 computation in Siegel gauge, we find an increasingly flat effective potential in the non-universal sector, connected to the perturbative vacuum and we confirm that the coefficient of the marginal field (lambda_SFT) has a maximum compatible with the value where the solutions stop existing in the standard Sen-Zwiebach approach. At the maximal reachable level, the effective potential still deviates from flatness for large values of the tachyon, but the Ellwood invariants stay close to the correct BCFT values on the whole branch and the full periodic moduli space of the cosine deformation is covered.

description: Das Ziel dieser Masterarbeit ist es, die Singularität eines flämischen Medusengemäldes hervorzuheben, indem sie die außergewöhnliche Darstellung nicht nur als weitere Repräsentation der mythologischen Thematik versteht, sondern als bildliche Auseinandersetzung mit der Kunst- und Naturtheorie des 17. Jahrhunderts. Mit der einzigartigen Darstellungsweise, situiert in einem erdig-feuchten Terrain, findet in der ersten Hälfte des 17. Jahrhunderts eine Zäsur statt, die nur wenige Jahrzehnte später eine neue Gattung, das Sottobosco, begründen wird. Im Vergleich zu der dramatischen, blutspritzenden Ausführung Caravaggios wirkt das flämische Bild merkwürdig passiv und bedrückend. Anders als die, in der Antike und Frühen Neuzeit, übliche Darstellung, an die sich zum Beispiel Caravaggio hält, stellt der flämische Künstler das Medusenhaupt im Profil und isoliert als leidende Sterbliche dar. Aufgrund der Komposition und einiger formaler Aspekte des flämischen Gemäldes, lässt sich eine stilistische und inhaltliche Nähe zu Peter Paul Rubens’ Medusenhaupt erkennen. Beide Gemälde verbinden die Darstellung der Medusa mit einer detaillierten Studie von diversen Amphibien und Reptilien Das Bildnis der Medusa markiert ab der Epoche des Barock ein beliebtes Genre in der Kunst. Als tragische Figur der antiken Mythologie stellt die Gorgo mit ihrer Fähigkeit, Menschen mittels ihres Blickes zu versteinern, ein spannendes bildtheoretisches Sujet dar. Die Bannkraft ihres Antlitzes wird als Äquivalent für die Meisterhaftigkeit der Maler herangezogen, die durch ihr Können ebenfalls die Betrachter*innen zu faszinieren vermögen. In dem Gemälden ist es zudem auch die Ästhetisierung des Grauens und des Schrecklichen, die besonders häufig rezipiert und beschrieben wird. Als künstlerisches Zentrum dieser allgemeinen Auseinandersetzung mit der Medusendarstellung gilt die Stadt Florenz unter den Medici.

A survey of ex vivo/in vitro transduction efficiency of mammalian primary cells and cell lines with Nine natural adeno-associated virus (AAV1-9) and one engineered adeno-associated virus serotype
Creators: name: Hirsch, Matthew L
Publisher: name: BioMed Central Ltd
Year: 2013

description: Abstract: Background: The ability to deliver a gene of interest into a specific cell type is an essential aspect of biomedical research. Viruses can be a useful tool for this delivery, particularly in difficult to transfect cell types. Adeno-associated virus (AAV) is a useful gene transfer vector because of its ability to mediate efficient gene transduction in numerous dividing and quiescent cell types, without inducing any known pathogenicity. There are now a number of natural for that designed AAV serotypes that each has a differential ability to infect a variety of cell types. Although transduction studies have been completed, the bulk of the studies have been done in vivo, and there has never been a comprehensive study of transduction ex vivo/in vitro. Methods: Each cell type was infected with each serotype at a multiplicity of infection of 100,000 viral genomes/cell and transduction was analyzed by flow cytometry + . Results: We found that AAV1 and AAV6 have the greatest ability to transduce a wide range of cell types, however, for particular cell types, there are specific serotypes that provide optimal transduction. Conclusions: In this work, we describe the transduction efficiency of ten different AAV serotypes in thirty-four different mammalian cell lines and primary cell types. Although these results may not be universal due to numerous factors such as, culture conditions and/ or cell growth rates and cell heterogeneity, these results provide an important and unique resource for investigators who use AAV as an ex vivo gene delivery vector or who work with cells that are difficult to transfect.
Audioscoring & leere Stimmen: praxisorientierte Stimmforschung zu lettristischen und ultra-lettristischen Stimmexperimenten

description: Audioscoring & leere Stimmen: Praxisorientierte Stimmforschung zu lettristischen und ultra-lettristischen Stimmexperimenten widmet sich den lettristischen und ultra-lettristischen Stimmexperimenten im Paris der 1950er Jahre. Mit den (ultra-)lettristischen Kompositionen fokussiert die Dissertation auf Stimmen an der Schwelle zur Phonation und Prozesse der Entleerungen der „vollen“, artikulierten, sprachmächtigen Stimme. Diese Stimmexperimente gelten als paradigmatische Beispiele sogenannter „leerer Stimmen“, die seit den 1950er Jahren als vor- und nachsprachliche Transformationsprozesse der Stimme in der Neue Musik, Performance Art und in der Elektronischen Musik zunehmend an Bedeutung gewonnen haben. Der von Georg Friedrich Wilhelm Hegel geprägte Begriff der „leeren Stimme“ bezieht sich auf die Stimme der Tiere als Urform der Stimmgebung. „Leere Stimmen“ stehen für die physiologische Voraussetzung des Sprechakts und der Artikulation, die, so Giorgio Agamben, „als ein Prozess der Unterscheidung, der Unterbrechung und der Aufbewahrung der animalischen Stimme“ verstanden werden kann. In den (ultra-)lettristischen Stimmen spiegelt sich der Umbruch der technischen Aufzeichnungssysteme: Auf der einen Seite stehen die lettristischen Gedichte als symbolische Zeichensysteme, auf der anderen Seite die ultra-lettristischen Tonbandstimmen als Resultate eines technisch-physiologischen Verschriftlichungsprozesses. Ein entscheidender Beitrag zur Erforschung dieser Stimmexperimente und ihrer Aufzeichnungssysteme leistet die spezifisch auf deren Analyse hin entwickelte Methode des Audioscorings, die das Stimmmaterial im Sinne praxisorientierter Stimmforschung einer mimetischen Analyse zugänglich macht. Der Begriff Audioscore verweist auf das Tonband als Hörpartitur.

description: This is a practice-based research project which analysis how democracy and facilitation are articulated within two different social contexts. The purpose of this research is to make apparent, through two facilitated art projects- the Elder Flowers project and the Exwick Image Project - the contingency of meanings and methods of making democratic choice with participants. The argument is that my methods of facilitation, which embrace social and cognitive difference by 'attending to' (that is, using methods of empathic listening and responsive action), their outcomes and meanings are contingent to each specific interaction. These acts of creative facilitation ask new questions of how democratic choice can be made between people who are located within multiple (historical, emotional, familial, economic) power dynamics. The thesis uses theories of complexity and difference to articulate: the need to 'frame' meanings in order for facilitator and participants to understand each other's choices and the fluidity of signification and subjectivity that deconstructs the ability to fix meaning and therefore properly understand each other. A conflict is revealed within the objective of facilitating a project in a democratic manner. This is a conflict between acknowledging that choice will emerge through interaction between facilitator and participant, and the facilitator needing to index - make sense of - what is happening in order to develop the facilitation. Additionally, the democracy of representing the complexity of the facilitations, in the 'framed' form of project record within the PhD submission, is questioned. A series of practical experiments, explore how theoretical concepts of presentation can work with project material and how an intuitive approach to the project material can reveal the complexity of choice-making during the facilitations.

title: (Kinder)briefe und Inschriftenkonzepte der Familie Starhemberg als Fallbeispiel für die Aneignung und Nutzung der lateinischen Sprache in der Adelskultur des 17. und 18. Jahrhunderts
Creators: name: Fleischer, Katharina Diotima
Year: 2023

description: Im 18. Jahrhundert verdrängten die Nationalsprachen langsam das Lateinische als Sprache der Verwaltung und Diplomatie. Daraus könnte man folgern, dass Latein auch in der Ausbildung adeliger Söhne weniger Bedeutung beigemessen wurde. Diese Arbeit zeigt anhand von lateinischen (Kinder)briefen sowie Inschriftenentwürfen, dass der Stellenwert des Lateinischen im landständischen Adel jedoch weiterhin hoch war. Die Briefe und Inschriftenkonzepte stammen aus dem Familienarchiv Starhemberg, Bestand Riedegg, das im Oberösterreichischen Landesarchiv in Linz aufbewahrt wird. Sie werden transkribiert, übersetzt, mit einem Kommentar versehen und hinsichtlich sprachlicher und stilistischer Kriterien analysiert. Dabei zeigt sich, dass adelige Söhne die lateinische Sprache nicht nur passiv, anhand antiker Autoren, sondern auch aktiv, anhand des Formulierens lateinischer Briefe an Familienmitglieder, zu beherrschen lernten. Noch als junge Erwachsene verfassten sie ihre private Korrespondenz zum Teil auf Latein. Die Briefe erlauben somit auch einen Einblick in intimere Lebensbereiche. Außerdem übten sie sich in der vor allem im 16. und 17. Jahrhundert in adeligen Kreisen beliebten Gelegenheitsdichtung. Zu dieser zählen auch Inschriften, die anlässlich von Geburtstagen, Hochzeiten, Begräbnissen oder anderen Feierlichkeiten verfasst, jedoch nicht immer auf Stein ausgeführt wurden.
description: In the 18th century, vernacular languages began to replace Latin as the language for administration and diplomacy. It therefore seems likely that the presence of Latin, in the education of the sons of the nobility, would be diminishing. However, this thesis proves the ongoing significance of learning Latin in the education of the landed gentry by examining letters, letters written by children and drafts of inscription. The letters and inscription drafts are part of the family archive Starhemberg, Bestand Riedegg, which is kept in the Oberösterreichisches Landesarchiv, Linz. Letters and inscription drafts are transcribed, translated and provided with a commentary on language and style. The material suggests that the noble offspring did not just learn to master Latin passively, through reading scripts by Latin authors, but also to write Latin texts, for example letters to family members. Even as young adults, they used Latin in their private correspondence. The letters therefore provide an insight into their personal lives. Furthermore, they wrote occasional poetry, which was a popular delight of the nobility in the 16th and 17th century. Inscriptions, which were composed for birthdays, marriages, funerals or other festivities, also belong to this genre, although they were not always carved into stone.

description: We construct a thermodynamic model for theoretical calculation of the boiling process of multicomponent mixtures of hydrocarbons (e.g., crude oil). The model governs kinetics of the mixture composition in the course of the distillation process along with the boiling temperature increase. The model heavily relies on the theory of dilute solutions of gases in liquids. Importantly, our results are applicable for modelling the process under elevated pressure (while the empiric models for oil cracking are not scalable to the case of extreme pressure), such as in an oil field heated by lava intrusions.

description: Abstract Background The majority of primary care physicians support integration of children’s oral health promotion and disease prevention into their practices but can experience challenges integrating oral health services into their workflow. Most electronic health records (EHRs) in primary care settings do not include oral health information for pediatric patients. Therefore, it is important to understand providers’ preferences for oral health information within the EHR. The objectives of this study are to assess (1) the relative importance of various elements of pediatric oral health information for primary care providers to have in the EHR and (2) the extent to which practice and provider characteristics are associated with these information preferences. Methods We surveyed a sample of primary care physicians who conducted Medicaid well-child visits in North Carolina from August – December 2013. Using descriptive statistics, we analyzed primary care physicians’ oral health information preferences relative to their information preferences for traditional preventive aspects of well-child visits. Furthermore, we analyzed associations between oral health information preferences and provider- and practice-level characteristics using an ordinary least squares regression model. Results Fewer primary care providers reported that pediatric oral health information is “very important,” as compared to more traditional elements of primary care information, such as tracking immunizations. However, the majority of respondents reported some elements of oral health information as being very important. Also, we found positive associations between the percentage of well child visits in which oral health screenings and oral health referrals are performed and the reported importance of having pediatric oral health information in the EHR. Conclusions Incorporating oral health information into the EHR may be desirable for providers, particularly those who perform oral health screenings and dental referrals.
title: 'The dreadful tides of a new and incomprehensible life': Rural Modernity and Watchfulness in Early Twentieth-Century Scottish Women’s Writing.
Creators: name: Duncan, Helena Marie
Publisher: name: Edinburgh Napier University
Year: 2023

description: This thesis provides a detailed study of the work of three Scottish women writers of the interwar period (Willa Muir, Lorna Moon, and Nan Shepherd) to review their individual responses to one critical aspect of rural modernity: widespread watchfulness. The analysis in this thesis combines, for the first time, a rural approach to theories of modernity and watchfulness and, using the metaphor of the rural panopticon, shows that they are interlinked and that women are disproportionately impacted by pressures to adhere to societal rules.

Scholarship which reviews the contribution of Scottish women writers to the field of rural modernity remains in need of further exploration. To address this gap, this thesis investigates the responses of Muir, Moon, and Shepherd to rural modernity and watchfulness. Muir's writing depicts semi-rural spaces which are negatively impacted by a patriarchal Presbyterianism, and positions departure as the most likely means by which to access the opportunities offered by modernity. Moon mocks traditions of grief and the women who adhere to them and adopts ridicule and parody as a protective tool. Shepherd’s fiction highlights the tensions between rural and urban spaces and the pressures of watchfulness, and the thesis then examines Shepherd as a rural-flâneur in her non-fiction, who reclaims and celebrates the rural space.

The thesis concludes that these three interwar writers each provide different responses to the pressures of rural modernity and watchfulness, and each seeks strategies for empowerment. Furthermore, the thesis contextualises the writing of these authors in broader scholarship and debates in Scottish literary modernism, feminism, Presbyterianism, and grief studies. Through explicitly considering the crucial insights offered by these authors, this thesis makes a significant contribution to existing scholarship by further refining what is understood of Scottish literary modernism, firmly establishing its relationship with watchfulness, and emphasising the nuanced contributions of women writers.

Geographic information system for improving maternal and newborn health: recommendations for policy and programs
Creators: name: Singh, Kavita
Publisher: name: BioMed Central
Year: 2017

description: Abstract This correspondence argues and offers recommendations for how Geographic Information System (GIS) applied to maternal and newborn health data could potentially be used as part of the broader efforts for ending preventable maternal and newborn mortality. These recommendations were generated from a technical consultation on reporting and mapping maternal deaths that was held in Washington, DC from January 12 to 13, 2015 and hosted by the United States Agency for International Development’s (USAID) global Maternal and Child Survival Program (MCSP). Approximately 72 participants from over 25 global health organizations, government agencies, donors, universities, and other groups participated in the meeting. The meeting placed emphases on how improved use of mapping could contribute to the post-2015 United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), agenda in general and to contribute to better maternal and neonatal health outcomes in particular. Researchers and policy makers have been calling for more equitable improvement in Maternal and Newborn Health (MNH), specifically addressing hard-to-reach populations at sub-national levels. Data visualization using mapping and geospatial analyses play a significant role in addressing the emerging need for improved spatial investigation at subnational scale. This correspondence identifies key challenges and recommendations so GIS may be better applied to maternal health programs in resource poor settings. The challenges and recommendations are broadly grouped into three categories: ancillary geospatial and MNH data sources, technical and human resources needs and community participation.

description: We study the $Λ_{b}\rightarrow J/ψK^{0}Λ$ reaction considering both the $K^{0}Λ$ interaction with its coupled channels and the $J/ψΛ$ interaction. The latter is described by taking into account the fact that there are predictions for a hidden-charm state with strangeness that couples to $J/ψΛ$. By using the coupling of the resonance to $J/ψΛ$ from these predictions we show that a neat peak can be observed in the $J/ψΛ$ invariant mass distribution, rather stable under changes of unknown magnitudes. In some cases, one finds a dip structure associated to that state, but a signal of the state shows up in the $J/ψ$ spectrum.

description: Extensive community-based sampling and single-species genetic analysis were used to study factors driving stream invertebrate community assembly on islands. Macroinvertebrates and physicochemistry were surveyed in forty-two streams on La Palma, La Gomera, Tenerife and Madeira (Macaronesia). Island faunal relationships and the role of the stream and catchment environment in determining community composition were investigated with multivariate analyses; assemblage nestedness and species richness, occupancy and abundance were also examined. The relationship between genetic differentiation and range size was tested using allozyme variation in selected species. Island species pools differed in community composition and species richness (total, and endemic), broadly as predicted by theory of island biogeography. Stream and island species richness were correlated, showing unsaturated, possibly dispersal-limited, communities, and stream faunas were nested, evidence that assemblages were not random (e.g. only generalist/dispersive taxa occur at species-poor sites). Endemics occurred in more streams than non-endemics, suggesting greater habitat availability for the former, but similar niche width, endemic and non-endemics having similar local abundance. Species richness, community composition and the abundances of individual species were correlated with stream physicochemistry, itself reflecting geology, rainfall, altitudinal zonation of vegetation and the intensity of stream exploitation. Allozyme variation was surveyed in Mesophylax aspersus (Trichoptera: Limnephilidae) and Wormaldia tagananana (Trichoptera: Philopotamidae), respectively having widespread and localised distributions. Population structure supported the hypothesis that range size is, at least partly, limited by poor dispersal ability in W tagananana. Genetic variation in Ancylus striatus (Gastropoda: Ancylidae) was typical of polyploidy and selffertilisation/ parthenogenesis. Breeding system has consequences for a species' colonisation ability, and may partially explain the wide distribution of A. striatus within the islands. Variation in community composition reflected patterns at a range of scales. Biogeography detennined the island species pooL whilst local physicochemistry determined richness and community composition within islands. Species characteristics that affect their colonisation and c:\tinction probabilities (e.g. habitat selection at the local- and mesoscaks, dispersal patterns and breeding system). influence hoth the local and regional species pools .

description: Abstract Background Clinical practice guidelines recommend colonoscopies at regular intervals for colorectal cancer (CRC) survivors. Using data from a large, multi-regional, population-based cohort, we describe the rate of surveillance colonoscopy and its association with geographic, sociodemographic, clinical, and health services characteristics. Methods We studied CRC survivors enrolled in the Cancer Care Outcomes Research and Surveillance (CanCORS) study. Eligible survivors were diagnosed between 2003 and 2005, had curative surgery for CRC, and were alive without recurrences 14 months after surgery with curative intent. Data came from patient interviews and medical record abstraction. We used a multivariate logit model to identify predictors of colonoscopy use. Results Despite guidelines recommending surveillance, only 49% of the 1423 eligible survivors received a colonoscopy within 14 months after surgery. We observed large regional differences (38% to 57%) across regions. Survivors who received screening colonoscopy were more likely to: have colon cancer than rectal cancer (OR = 1.41, 95% CI: 1.05-1.90); have visited a primary care physician (OR = 1.44, 95% CI: 1.14-1.82); and received adjuvant chemotherapy (OR = 1.75, 95% CI: 1.27-2.41). Compared to survivors with no comorbidities, survivors with moderate or severe comorbidities were less likely to receive surveillance colonoscopy (OR = 0.69, 95% CI: 0.49-0.98 and OR = 0.44, 95% CI: 0.29-0.66, respectively). Conclusions Despite guidelines, more than half of CRC survivors did not receive surveillance colonoscopy within 14 months of surgery, with substantial variation by site of care. The association of primary care visits and adjuvant chemotherapy use suggests that access to care following surgery affects cancer surveillance.

title: Einbindung von spontanen Freiwilligen in das behördliche Katastrophenmanagement
Creators: name: Drexel, Matthias
Year: 2023

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit hat das Ziel, notwendige Strukturen und Rahmenbedingungen zur Einbindung spontaner Freiwilliger durch Behörden oder Einsatzorganisationen in das staatliche Katastrophenmanagement herauszuarbeiten. Sogenannte spontane Freiwillige, international meist als „emergent“ bzw. „spontaneous“ bezeichnet, sind Personen, die nach einem Katastrophenereignis Betroffenen helfen wollen. Dass diese Personen nach Katastrophen im unmittelbaren Schadensgebiet auftauchen, ist ein international verbreitetes Phänomen und kann als Zeichen großer Solidarität und Hilfsbereitschaft verstanden werden. Trotz dieser globalen Tatsache, dass diese Personengruppen in Katastrophengebieten auftauchen, sind nach wie vor viele Behörden und Einsatzorganisationen überrascht und der Gruppe und ihrer Hilfsbereitschaft gegenüber ablehnend eingestellt. In dieser Arbeit wird daher in der internationalen Forschung nach empirischen Erkenntnissen gesucht. Dabei soll auf Basis dieser Empirie herausgearbeitet werden, welche Strukturen und Rahmenbedingungen für eine erfolgreiche Einbindung von spontanen Freiwilligen wesentlich sind. Es zeigen sich in der internationalen Katastrophenforschung wesentliche Erkenntnisse, die bei der Einbindung erfolgreich waren. Vielfach sind diese Parameter erst ad hoc vor Ort entstanden und wurden von den Behörden nicht strukturell vorbereitet. Daher wird in dieser Arbeit danach gefragt, wie erfolgreiche Parameter der Vergangenheit, welche als Erkenntnisse der empirischen Forschungsarbeiten zur Verfügung stehen, bereits im Rahmen der Vorsorge und Prävention für zukünftige Katastrophenereignisse, von Behörden strukturell berücksichtigt und eingebaut werden könnten. Diese Parameter werden erläuternd dargestellt und am Ende in Bezug auf das behördliche Katastrophenmanagement in Österreich diskutiert.

description: Abstract Background Evidence for a high degree of heritability of EEG alpha phenotypes has been demonstrated in twin and family studies in a number of populations. However, information on linkage of this phenotype to specific chromosome locations is still limited. This study's aims were to map loci linked to EEG alpha phenotypes and to determine if there was overlap with loci previously mapped for alcohol dependence in an American Indian community at high risk for substance dependence. Methods Each participant gave a blood sample and completed a structured diagnostic interview using the Semi Structured Assessment for the Genetics of Alcoholism. Bipolar EEGs were collected and spectral power determined in the alpha (7.5-12.0 Hz) frequency band for two composite scalp locations previously identified by principal components analyses (bilateral fronto-central and bilateral centro-parietal-occipital). Genotypes were determined for a panel of 791 micro-satellite polymorphisms in 410 members of multiplex families using SOLAR. Results Sixty percent of this study population had a lifetime diagnosis of alcohol dependence. Analyses of multipoint variance component LOD scores, for the EEG alpha power phenotype, revealed two loci that had a LOD score of 3.0 or above for the fronto-central scalp region on chromosomes 1 and 6. Additionally, 4 locations were identified with LOD scores above 2.0 on chromosomes 4, 11, 14, 16 for the fronto-central location and one on chromosome 2 for the centro-parietal-occipital location. Conclusion These results corroborate the importance of regions on chromosome 4 and 6 highlighted in prior segregation studies in this and other populations for alcohol dependence-related phenotypes, as well as other areas that overlap with other substance dependence phenotypes identified in previous linkage studies in other populations. These studies additionally support the construct that EEG alpha recorded from fronto-central scalp areas may represent an important endophenotype associated with alcohol and other substance dependence.

description: Using a shallow, two-color survey carried out with the Dark Energy Camera, we detect the southern, possibly trailing arm of the Orphan Stream. The stream is reliably detected to a declination of $-38^\circ$, bringing the total known length of the Orphan stream to $108^\circ$. We find a slight offset or "S" shape in the stream at $δ\simeq -14^\circ$ that would be consistent with the transition from leading to trailing arms. This coincides with a moderate concentration of $137 \pm 25$ stars (to $g = 21.6$) that we consider a possible remnant of the Orphan progenitor. The position of this feature is in agreement with previous predictions.

A strongly selected mutation in the HIV-1 genome is independent of T cell responses and neutralizing antibodies
Creators: name: Goonetilleke, Nilu

description: Abstract Background Mutations rapidly accumulate in the HIV-1 genome after infection. Some of those mutations are selected by host immune responses and often cause viral fitness losses. This study is to investigate whether strongly selected mutations that are not associated with immune responses result in fitness losses. Results Strongly selected mutations were identified by analyzing 5′-half HIV-1 genome (gag/pol) sequences from longitudinal samples of subject CH0131. The K43R mutation in the gag gene was first detected at day 91 post screening and was fixed in the viral population at day 273 while the synonymous N323tc mutation was first detected at day 177 and fixed at day 670. No conventional or cryptic T cell responses were detected against either mutation sites by ELISpot analysis. However, when fitness costs of both mutations were measured by introducing each mutation into their cognate transmitted/founder (T/F) viral genome, the K43R mutation caused a significant fitness loss while the N323tc mutation had little impact on viral fitness. Conclusions The rapid fixation, the lack of detectable immune responses and the significant fitness cost of the K43R mutation suggests that it was strongly selected by host factors other than T cell responses and neutralizing antibodies.

title: Der Nutzen Interaktiver Simulationen im Chemieunterricht im Sinne einer metakognitiven Förderung des Abstraktionsvermögens auf molekularer Ebene
Creators: name: Prorok, David
Year: 2023

description: Diese Arbeit untersucht den Nutzen Interaktiver Simulationen (IS) für den Chemieunterricht bei der Förderung des Abstraktionsvermögens. Chemische Phänomene und deren Gesetzmäßigkeiten auf molekularer Ebene abstrahieren zu können gehört zu den Grundpfeilern chemischer Bildung. Zu diesem Zweck werden die Formen modellhafter chemischer Abstraktionen auf didaktischer, wissenschaftstheoretischer und erkenntnistheoretischer Ebene beleuchtet, um sie unter dem Begriff Metakognition in einem umfassenden Lernmodell zusammenzuführen. Im Weiteren werden IS als Unterrichtsmethode differenziert und didaktisch beleuchtet. Ziel ist eine auf den Lernkontext fokussierte Darstellung des konkreten Lerngeschehens. Aus diesem lassen sich Formen der Implementierung ableiten. Ob IS einen Nutzen für das Abstraktionsvermögen haben, hängt wesentlich von dem zugrundeliegenden didaktischen Konzept ab. Eine Umfrage unter Lehrkräften liefert zudem Einblicke in deren Einstellungen zu digitalen Unterrichtsmedien im Allgemeinen sowie zu IS speziell. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass IS das abstrakte Denkvermögen nur dann verbessern können, wenn sie in geeignete didaktische Konzepte eingebettet werden und ihre spezifischen Eigenschaften bewusst genutzt werden.

description: Abstract Background The etiologic heterogeneity of cancer has traditionally been investigated by comparing risk factor frequencies within candidate sub-types, defined for example by histology or by distinct tumor markers of interest. Increasingly tumors are being profiled for molecular features much more extensively. This greatly expands the opportunities for defining distinct sub-types. In this article we describe an exploratory analysis of the etiologic heterogeneity of clear cell kidney cancer. Data are available on the primary known risk factors for kidney cancer, while the tumors are characterized on a genome-wide basis using expression, methylation, copy number and mutational profiles. Methods We use a novel clustering strategy to identify sub-types. This is accomplished independently for the expression, methylation and copy number profiles. The goals are to identify tumor sub-types that are etiologically distinct, to identify the risk factors that define specific sub-types, and to endeavor to characterize the key genes that appear to represent the principal features of the distinct sub-types. Results The analysis reveals strong evidence that gender represents an important factor that distinguishes disease sub-types. The sub-types defined using expression data and methylation data demonstrate considerable congruence and are also clearly correlated with mutations in important cancer genes. These sub-types are also strongly correlated with survival. The complexity of the data presents many analytical challenges including, prominently, the risk of false discovery. Conclusions Genomic profiling of tumors offers the opportunity to identify etiologically distinct sub-types, paving the way for a more refined understanding of cancer etiology.
