description: Background Venereal syphilis, caused by the spirochete Treponema pallidum subsp. pallidum (TPA), is surging worldwide, underscoring the need for a vaccine with global efficacy. Vaccine development requires an understanding of syphilis epidemiology and clinical presentation as well as genomic characterization of TPA strains circulating within at-risk populations. The aim of this study was to describe the clinical, demographic, and molecular features of early syphilis cases in Cali, Colombia. Methods and findings We conducted a cross-sectional study to identify individuals with early syphilis (ES) in Cali, Colombia through a city-wide network of public health centers, private sector HIV clinics and laboratory databases from public health institutions. Whole blood (WB), skin biopsies (SB), and genital and oral lesion swabs were obtained for measurement of treponemal burdens by polA quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and for whole-genome sequencing (WGS). Among 1,966 individuals screened, 128 participants met enrollment criteria: 112 (87%) with secondary (SS), 15 (12%) with primary (PS) and one with early latent syphilis; 66/128 (52%) self-reported as heterosexual, while 48 (38%) were men who have sex with men (MSM). Genital ulcer swabs had the highest polA copy numbers (67 copies/μl) by qPCR with a positivity rate (PR) of 73%, while SS lesions had 42 polA copies/μl with PR of 62%. WB polA positivity was more frequent in SS than PS (42% vs 7%, respectively; p = 0.009). Isolation of TPA from WB by rabbit infectivity testing (RIT) was achieved in 5 (56%) of 9 ES WB samples tested. WGS from 33 Cali patient samples, along with 10 other genomic sequences from South America (9 from Peru, 1 from Argentina) used as comparators, confirmed that SS14 was the predominant clade, and that half of all samples had mutations associated with macrolide (i.e., azithromycin) resistance. Variability in the outer membrane protein (OMP) and vaccine candidate BamA (TP0326) was mapped onto the protein’s predicted structure from AlphaFold. Despite the presence of mutations in several extracellular loops (ECLs), ECL4, an immunodominant loop and proven opsonic target, was highly conserved in this group of Colombian and South American TPA isolates. Conclusions This study offers new insights into the sociodemographic and clinical features of venereal syphilis in a highly endemic area of Colombia and illustrates how genomic sequencing of regionally prevalent TPA strains can inform vaccine development.

description: Genus Trissopathes Opresko, 2003
Type-species. Trissopathes pseudotristicha Opresko, 2003 (by original designation).
Diagnosis. “Primary pinnules arranged in four regular rows; subequal in size or with lateral/posterolateral primary pinnules longer than anterior ones. Lateral/posterolateral primary pinnules usually without subpinnules; anterior primaries simple or with up to six or more subpinnules. Subpinnules commonly arranged in subopposite pairs (rarely alternating)” (Opresko, 2003).
Remarks. The genus Trissopathes Opresko, 2003 comprises three species [T. tetracrada Opresko, 2003, T. pseudotristicha Opresko, 2003 and T. tristicha (Van Pesch, 1914)], distributed in the Indian Ocean and on Pacific seamounts (Opresko, 2003; Molodtsova, 2005). As yet, there is a single Atlantic record of T. tetracrada, off Cabo Verde Islands, between 1450 and 2220 m (Opresko, 2003). To distinguish between groups of pinnules/subpinnules and the formation of new branches, it is necessary to check the size and arrangement of the pinnules on the branches. Thus, large pinnule-like processes, with subpinnules, grouped in four rows are considered herein as new branches.
Distribution. North Pacific, IndoPacific, the Great Australian Bight and Atlantic (Opresko, 2003).

title: Kino in Bewegtbildinstallationen
Creators: name: Schaar, Katharina
Year: 2015

description: Seit den 1990er Jahren beziehen sich KünstlerInnen vermehrt auf das Kino. Einerseits formal, indem immer mehr Black Boxes im Ausstellungsraum installiert sind. Andererseits inhaltlich, indem KünstlerInnen Kinofilme von Autorenfilmen bis Hollywoodklassikern aneignen, sie modifizieren und so neue Lesarten produzieren. Diese gegenwärtige Fusion von Kunst und Kino in Form von Bewegtbildinstallationen mit Kinofilmmaterial ist Gegenstand der vorliegenden Arbeit. Es wird untersucht, wie sich raum-zeitliche Parameter vom Kino zum White Cube bis zur Black Box, dem Raum der Bewegtbildinstallation, ändern und welche Auswirkungen damit für die Rezeptionssituation einhergehen. Weiter werden künstlerische Strategien der Appropriation von Kinofilmmaterial in installativen Konzepten und damit verbundene Konsequenzen aufgezeigt.
description: Since the 1990s, artists have been increasingly concerned with cinema. On the one hand in a formal way by installing more and more black boxes in the exhibition room. On the other hand in terms of content by adopting cinema films from Hollywood classics to films d’auteur, which they modify and therefore produce new interpretations. This paper is concerned with this contemporary fusion of art and cinema in the form of moving image installations with cinema film footage. It is examined how the spatio-temporal parameters change from the cinema to the white cube through to the black box, the room of the moving image installation, and what impact this has for the situation of reception. Furthermore, artistic strategies of the appropriation of cinema film footage in installation concepts and the related consequences will be analysed.

description: There has been growing interest in research on news-related user comments. Here we conduct the first systematic review of this literature—quantitatively and qualitatively (248 studies)—that covers the entire communication process (content analyses, surveys, experiments). Results indicate a focus on online news articles (vs videos) and little consideration for major social media platforms (Instagram, TikTok). Research often assesses incivility in comments but offers conflicting conclusions on the actual level of incivility in comment threads—and seldom considers how to effectively combat any incivility. We propose four priorities for future work: more comparative and longitudinal approaches; exploring social media and video content; examining platform design, content moderation and artificial intelligence; and implementing measures to reduce incivility and protect the integrity of journalism.

description: Kiwis (Apterygidae) are an enigmatic family of flightless birds endemic to New Zealand. Apterygidae is made up of a single genus, Apteryx with five species, four of which are characterised as at risk of greater by the New Zealand Department of Conservation. These five species are further separated into two morphologically and genetically distinguishable clades, containing A.haastii, and A.owenii in one and A.rowi, A.mantelli, and A.australis in the other. We reconstructed 17 kiwi mitochondrial genomes from previously published genomic data, nine from A.rowi and eight from A.owenii. Mitochondrial diversity analyses uncovered low levels of genetic diversity consistent with their reduced ranges and conservation concern. We further used one of the assembled A.rowi mitochondrial genomes together with mitochondrial genomes from A.haastii, A.owenii, A.mantelli, and several other individuals from Palaeognathae to estimate the within and between clade divergence times of kiwis. Our study exemplifies how available published data can be used in novel ways to provide new and complementary evolutionary insights to previous studies.

description: Οι αλλαγές στη διοίκηση των επιχειρήσεων σε ένα παγκοσμιοποιημένο και ψηφιοποιημένο περιβάλλον απαιτούν την εφαρμογή τεχνολογικών λύσεων. Αυτές οι λύσεις επιτρέπουν μια πιο αποτελεσματική διαχείριση και, συνεπώς, εξασφαλίζουν τη λήψη αποφάσεων σε διάφορους τομείς των εταιρειών, συμπεριλαμβανομένης της ικανοποίησης των ενδιαφερομένων. Οι διαδικασίες διαχείρισης των επιχειρήσεων γίνονται ολοένα πιο περίπλοκες και απαιτούν τη συμμετοχή περισσότερων λειτουργικών περιοχών και τμημάτων, καθώς και τη διαθεσιμότητα μεγαλύτερου όγκου ενημερωμένων πληροφοριών σε πραγματικό χρόνο. Η ενσωμάτωση των πιο πρόσφατων τεχνολογικών εξελίξεων, όπως η βιομηχανική επανάσταση 4.0, επιτρέπει την αυτοματοποίηση των διαδικασιών παραγωγής και σχεδιασμού προϊόντων και βελτιώνει τη διαχείριση των επιχειρήσεων. Επιπλέον, η εφαρμογή συστημάτων ERP αποτελεί σημαντικό κομμάτι αυτής της ψηφιοποιημένης διαχείρισης, ενώ παράλληλα πρέπει να ληφθούν υπόψη οι περίπλοκοι παράγοντες και οι περιορισμένοι πόροι που αντιμετωπίζουν οι μικρές και μεσαίες επιχειρήσεις. Τα Cloud Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) είναι εφαρμογές που σχεδιάζονται για να υποστηρίζουν και να ολοκληρώνουν τις επιχειρηματικές διαδικασίες ενός οργανισμού μέσω ενός ενιαίου αποθετηρίου δεδομένων. Αυτές οι εφαρμογές φιλοξενούνται και λειτουργούν στο Cloud ως υπηρεσία λογισμικού (SaaS). Τα συστήματα Cloud-ERP μπορούν να φιλοξενηθούν, να διαχειριστούν και να συντηρηθούν από τρίτους προμηθευτές και επιτρέπουν πρόσβαση στο διαδίκτυο από τους χρήστες χωρίς την ανάγκη εγκατάστασης στις τοπικές εγκαταστάσεις τους. Τα Cloud-ERP παρέχουν συνήθως χαμηλότερο κόστος, γρήγορες υλοποιήσεις, επεκτασιμότητα και είναι ευκολότερο να αναβαθμιστούν. Ωστόσο, η εξάρτηση από παρόχους υπηρεσιών στο Cloud μπορεί να επιφέρει προβλήματα, όπως προβλήματα προσαρμογής του συστήματος, ενημερώσεις, συντήρηση και αναβαθμίσεις, ιδίως για οργανισμούς που υιοθετούν αυτές τις λύσεις.

description: This article describes the virtual implementation of Photovoice activities conducted as part of a project that sought to gather youths’ perspectives on neighborhood and housing conditions, community redevelopment, and health and well-being in Baltimore. We discuss the original in-person design and how activities were implemented virtually, in light of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) physical distancing guidelines. Challenges to virtual implementation included establishing rapport with youth and families during recruitment and data collection, encouraging active participation during discussion sessions, and varying technological skills among youth. Facilitators of virtual implementation included partnering with a community organization, piloting virtual sessions to assess participant’s technology skills, and providing various ways for youth to participate during discussion sessions, engage in group activities, and receive hands-on instruction. This article showcases the ways in which virtual implementation of Photovoice activities can be successfully implemented with youth and provides recommendations for future Photovoice projects that include virtual activities.

description: Background: Relapsed medulloblastoma (MB) poses a significant therapeutic challenge due to its highly immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have struggled to mitigate this challenge, largely due to low T-cell infiltration and minimal PD-L1 expression. Identifying the mechanisms driving low T-cell infiltration is crucial for developing more effective immunotherapies. Methods: We utilize a syngeneic mouse model to investigate the tumor immune microenvironment of MB and compare our findings to transcriptomic and proteomic data from human MB. Results: Flow cytometry reveals a notable presence of CD45hi/CD11bhi macrophage-like and CD45int/CD11bint microglia-like tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), alongside regulatory T-cells (Tregs), expressing high levels of the inhibitory checkpoint molecule VISTA. Compared to sham control mice, the CD45hi/CD11bhi compartment significantly expands in tumor-bearing mice and exhibits a myeloid-specific signature composed of VISTA, CD80, PD-L1, CTLA-4, MHCII, CD40, and CD68. These findings are corroborated by proteomic and transcriptomic analyses of human MB samples. Immunohistochemistry highlights an abundance of VISTA-expressing myeloid cells clustering at the tumor–cerebellar border, while T-cells are scarce and express FOXP3. Additionally, tumor cells exhibit immunosuppressive properties, inhibiting CD4 T-cell proliferation in vitro. Identification of VISTA’s binding partner, VSIG8, on tumor cells, and its correlation with increased VISTA expression in human transcriptomic analyses suggests a potential therapeutic target. Conclusions: This study underscores the multifaceted mechanisms of immune evasion in MB and highlights the therapeutic potential of targeting the VISTA–VSIG axis to enhance anti-tumor responses.
The Politics of Location in Edgar Degas's Depictions of the Paris Opera
Creators: name: Smith, Isabel
Publisher: name: American University

description: This thesis examines the political connotations of Impressionist artist Edgar Degas's (1834-1917) images of the ballet produced in the wake of the Franco-Prussian War (1870-1871) and the Paris Commune (1871). While scholarship on the subject of Degas's rendering of the ballet is extensive, that literature tends to focus on the artist's treatment of the dancers, or his own experiences of the ballet. To date, scholars have not fully addressed the political symbolism of the artist's choice to represent the outdated Salle le Peletier (1821-1873) rather than the new and lavish Palais Garnier (1875-). In this thesis, I argue that in depicting the Salle le Peletier - a building strongly associated with the history of French revolutions, and located in a bustling center of artistic production - Degas implicitly rejects the Palais Garnier because of its association with the governments of the Second Empire (1852-1870) and Third Republic (1870-1940). His ballet pictures, in other words, constituted a veiled political critique: by representing the Salle le Peletier, he obliquely expressed his discontent with the Third Republic without violating the severe censorship laws put in place immediately after the Commune. I examine a group of seven paintings of ballet class produced between 1873, when the Salle le Peletier was destroyed by fire, and 1881, when the censorship laws were repealed. I argue that specific references to the Salle le Peletier charge Degas's pictures - which depict the relation of working-class female dancers with their autocratic male ballet master - with political tensions. Insofar as Degas evokes class conflict and sets that conflict in a building named for a famous revolutionary figure, these pictures can be read as fanning lingering bourgeois fears of working-class revolt, and as a reminder of the brutal suppression of revolutionaries that brought the Commune to an end.

description: Schausteller, Gaukler, Artisten und ähnliche Gewerbetreibende haben aufgrund ihrer Mobilität und der Art des Berufes so gut wie immer eine Leben neben der bürgerlichen Moralität der Neuzeit geführt. Dem jungen österreichischen Staat waren sie durch die fehlende Überwachungsmöglichkeit ein Dorn im Auge, der Bevölkerung durch den Mangel eines Lebensmittelpunktes suspekt. Dennoch bedienten Wanderkünstler grundlegende Bedürfnisse der Menschen und sorgten, gerade im frühen 19. Jahrhundert, in und um Wien dafür, dass sich das Volk die schweren wirtschaftlichen Zeiten mittels harmloser Unterhaltung etwas erträglicher gestalten konnten. In dieser Diplomarbeit soll ein Blick auf einige Gesetze und Verordnungen der österreichischen Monarchie des 19. Jahrhunderts geworfen werden, um festzustellen, inwieweit und in welchen Zusammenhängen „Fahrende“ überhaupt vom Staat wahrgenommen wurden. Dazu wurden amtliche, wie auch private Gesetzsammlungen aus verschiedenen Rechtsbereichen herangezogen. Ziel ist, einerseits Gesetze zu finden, die sich auf das schaustellerische Umfeld beziehen, andererseits aber auch mögliche staatliche Kritikpunkte spezifisch herauszuarbeiten.

description: Amateurfilm. Familienfilm. Home Movie. Pantoffelkino? Die Filmwissenschaft schenkte dem großen Korpus an Amateurfilmen, die nicht industriell und auch nicht mit der Intention einer Veröffentlichung produziert wurden, bislang wenig Beachtung. Um die wissenschaftliche Distanz aufrecht zu erhalten, werden biographische Hintergründe der FilmamateurInnen meist vernachlässigt oder bewusst ausgespart. 9.000 Meter retrospektiv. Margret Veits Schmalfilmbiographie stellt einen Gegenentwurf zu dieser Praxis dar, indem ich die vielfältigen Arbeitsweise der heute 79-jährigen Filmemacherin beleuchte, um so Einblick in die Spezifika des Amateurfilmschaffens zu geben. Der Fokus dieser Arbeit liegt auf der Filmpraxis Margret Veits, um ihre Verfahrensweisen zur Herstellung filmischer Erinnerung aufzuzeigen. Die Familiengeschichte und das Wissen um die Entstehungsbedingungen der Filme ermöglicht uns, den Familienfilm in seinen vielfältigen Facetten zu betrachten: Von der schriftlichen Planung eines Films, über die Durchführung, der Montage, der Vorführsituation bis hin zu ihrer Archivierungsstrategie. Dabei erweist sich die Listenform als Grundstruktur ihres filmischen Schaffens. Als Quellen dienen in erster Linie Oral History Interviews, ihre vielfältigen filmbezogenen Aufzeichnungen (selbstverfasste Handbücher, Drehbücher, Montagelisten, Filmographien) und nicht zuletzt ihr umfangreiches filmisches Werk. Das von ihr geschaffene kinematographischen Gedächtnis in den Schmalfilmformaten Normal8 und Super8, belichtet im Zeitraum zwischen 1955 und 1989, umfasst eine Länge von über 9.000 Meter Film (einer Laufzeit von rund 33 Stunden). Die Filmerin, die sich nie einem Amateurfilmklub anschloss, stellt eine Randerscheinung in der männerdominierten Amateurfilmwelt dar. Dies belegt die statistische Auswertung der Schmalfilmsammlung des Filmarchivs Austria. Margret Veit, Mutter von vier Kindern, macht Filme: sie inszeniert, dokumentiert, 'poetisiert' – und kritisiert die vorherrschenden Geschlechterrollen der 50er und 60er Jahre.

title: Tod und Trauer als Thema für den Unterricht in der Sekundarstufe I
Creators: name: Brandl, Andrea
Year: 2015

description: Tod und Trauer sind wesentliche Bestandteile unseres Lebens. Die Auseinandersetzung damit zählt zu den existenziellen Grunderfahrungen eines jeden Menschen – egal ob Kind oder Erwachsener. Jeder Mensch macht im Laufe seines Lebens schmerzliche Erfahrungen eines Verlustes. So begegnen auch schon Kinder dem Tod, etwa wenn sie den Tod eines Haustieres oder eines Angehörigen erleben. Somit existieren Sterben und Tod auch in der kindlichen Erfahrungswelt, wodurch eine schulische Thematisierung von Tod und Trauer durchaus begründbar ist. Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wird daher der Frage nachgegangen, inwiefern die Schule die Wichtigkeit und Notwendigkeit einer Auseinandersetzung mit dem Aspekt der Endlichkeit des Lebens und der Trauer erkannt hat und ob sich dies in den Lehrplänen und Unterrichtsmaterialien erkennen lässt. Im Mittelpunkt der textanalytischen Untersuchung steht zum einen das Fach Religion, da es nahe liegt das Thema Tod und Trauer dem Religionsunterricht als Lehrstoff zuzuordnen, denn schließlich gehören Leben und Tod zu den Kernthemen im christlichen Glauben. Und zum anderen werden der Lehrplan und die Unterrichtsmaterialien für den Biologie- und Umweltkundeunterricht einer Analyse unterzogen, da der Tod einerseits das Ende der Entwicklung des Menschen darstellt und andererseits auch ein biologischer Vorgang ist und schon allein deswegen im Biologieunterricht behandelt werden müsste.

description: Genus Leiopathes Haime, 1849
Type-species. Antipathes glaberrima Esper, 1792 (by original designation).
Diagnosis. “Corallum irregularly sympodially branched but not pinnulate; branching multidirectional or flabellate. Branchlets arranged irregularly, loosely bilateral or uniserial, usually bent to some degree. Spines small, simple with smooth surface; triangular, conical or blister-shaped, often poorly developed or absent on older parts of the corallum. Polyps with 12 mesenteries; round with well-developed tentacles, arranged in a single row at terminal branchelets. Adjacent polyps often unequal” (Molodtsova, 2011).
Remarks. Phylogenetic studies (using mtIGRs, CO3-CO1, and nuclear sequences 18S and 28S), match with well-defined diagnostic features, pointing to the monophyly of the monogeneric Family Leiopathidae, which may require the establishment of a higher taxonomic status (Brugler et al., 2013; Wagner & Opresko, 2015). The genus Leiopathes is composed of nine species which have been widely recorded around the globe, at depths ranging from 37 to 2400 m, but no records for the South Atlantic hitherto. Within the genus Leiopathes, there are two easily distinguishable forms in terms of branching patterns: sparsely branched forms with long terminal branches [L. glaberrima (Esper, 1792); L. valdiviae (Pax, 1915); L. acanthophora Opresko, 1998; L. bullosa Opresko,1998; L. montana Molodtsova, 2011; and L. annosa Wagner & Opresko, 2015] and forms with short fan-shaped branches (L. expansa Johnson, 1899; L. grimaldii Roule, 1902; and L. secunda Opresko, 1998). In the latter group, the terminal branches usually occur on the convex side of larger, fan-shaped branches (Molodtsova, 2011; Opresko, 1998).
Distribution. Indian Ocean, Atlantic and Hawaii (Molodtsova, 2011).

Synthesis and evaluation of novel monocyclic beta-lactams as neuroprotectors
Creators: name: Burmester, Caroline Ann

description: In the nervous system, glutamate acts as the principal excitatory neurotransmitter. However, high doses of glutamate in the synapse can result in nervous cell damage and even cell death, which is associated with diseases such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. Traditionally, beta-lactam compounds were used strictly as antimicrobial agents. Recent studies, however, have demonstrated their utility in another area---protection against excitotoxicity. Thus far, the mechanism responsible for their neuroprotective effects is still not understood. This project focuses on the development and testing of a library of beta-lactams designed to act as possible neuroprotective agents. Unlike penicillin and cephalosporin, these are monocyclic and have a conformationally flexible group at the C4 position of the lactam ring. They also contain various lipophilic substituents at the C3 position. The neuroprotective ability of the newly synthesized beta-lactams will be tested with the possibility of both expanding the class of compounds used as neuroprotective agents, as well as potentially aiding in the understanding of the mechanism responsible for their neuroprotective effects.

description: BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Integrated behavioral health (IBH) delivered in primary care is critical to addressing the growing behavioral health crisis in the United States. COVID-19 prompted changes to the core components of IBH, causing the model to shift. The specifics of how IBH teams adapted and what these adaptations mean for the future of IBH teams in primary care are uncertain. METHODS: We conducted individual interviews with IBH team members using a semistructured interview guide. A purposive convenience sample consisted of primary care clinicians (N=20) from nine states. We used qualitative thematic analysis to code and generate themes. RESULTS: Four themes emerged: (a) permanent changes to the physical structure of the team; (b) increased reliance on technology for team communication; (c) shift in team collaboration, often occurring asynchronously; and (d) telehealth embraced for IBH. CONCLUSIONS: COVID-19 interrupted the originally designed IBH model of team-based care. Changes to the physical proximity of team members disrupted all other components of IBH, requiring adapted workflows, communication via digital channels, virtual team building, asynchronous care coordination, and remote service delivery. Long-term evaluation of these innovations is needed to examine whether shifts in core components impact model efficacy. Training family medicine, primary care, and behavioral health clinicians for these adapted models of IBH will be needed.

description: In the United States, Maryland's Court of Appeals case, Frank Conaway v. Gitanjali Deane (2007), is the most recent court decision to define and limit the terms of civil marriage to the exclusion of all but heterosexual couples. In my thesis, I analyze the oral arguments from the court hearing, which was broadcast live on the web in December 2006, as well as the Maryland Court of Appeals majority and dissenting court opinions published in September 2007. Drawing from Goffman, I examine the central frames employed by the appellees, the state, and the High Court Justices in their arguments supporting and opposing same-sex marriage. This thesis explores how the legal frames of the debate construct the meanings of sexuality, family, marriage, citizenship, otherness, and privilege.
title: Die Macht der Steuerbehörde
Creators: name: Hofer, Lisa-Katrin
Year: 2015

description: Unter allen Faktoren für Steuerehrlichkeit wird dem Einfluss der Steuerbehörde besondere Bedeutung zugeschrieben. Das erweiterte Slippery Slope Framework (Gangl, Hofmann & Kirchler, 2015) differenziert diese Komponente in sechs unterschiedliche Formen (French & Raven, 1959; Raven, 1965), die zwei Gruppen zugeteilt werden: Coercive Macht umfasst Bestrafungsmacht und Belohnungsmacht, legitime Macht beinhaltet Legitimationsmacht, Identifikationsmacht, Expertenmacht und Informationsmacht. In dieser Arbeit wurde im Zuge von Einzelinterviews mit selbstständigen Steuerzahlern (N = 33) untersucht, wie diese Arten der Macht wahrgenommen, bewertet und auf ihre Wirkung in Hinblick auf Steuerehrlichkeit eingeschätzt werden. Die qualitative Analyse ergab ein Kategoriensystem mit diversen Unterkategorien. Dabei zeigt sich, dass alle genannten Formen von Macht bei den Steuerzahlern präsent oder zumindest nachvollziehbar sind. Die Machtformen werden in ihren verschiedenen Ausprägungen positiv als auch negativ bewertet. Weiters werden sowohl coercive als auch legitime Arten von Macht als einflussreich wahrgenommen, doch auch hier gibt es Unterschiede innerhalb der Machtarten. Großteils gehen positive Bewertungen mit der Einschätzung hoher Wirksamkeit einher, allerdings nicht durchgehend. Insgesamt lassen sich weder Bewertungen noch wahrgenommene Effektivität der Formen von Macht an der Zugehörigkeit zu legitimen oder coerciven Machtarten festmachen. Die Ergebnisse legen nahe, dass die Kriterien für die Unterteilung in diese zwei Gruppen generell zu überdenken sind.
description: Influence through actions of the tax authorities is said to be one of the strongest determinants of tax honesty. The extended slippery slope framework (Gangl, Hofmann & Kirchler, 2015) splits up this factor into six different types of influence, structured in two groups of different quality: Coercive power includes coercive power and reward power, while legitimate power includes legitimate power, referent power, expert power and information power. The present study aims to explore how these types of power are being perceived and evaluated in terms of their effectiveness on tax behavior. Therefore, 33 guided interviews are conducted with self-employed taxpayers. The qualitative analysis shows that each type of power is seen as a common and realistic way for tax authorities to act. The respective types are perceived as positive as well as negative. Coercive and also legitimate types of power are assumed to have influence on tax behavior, but strength and direction of this influence differ within the groups. In most cases, positive evaluation goes hand in hand with an estimation of effectiveness. Yet, there are exceptions concerning this relationship. In general, the group that it is subsumed under cannot explain high effectiveness as well as positive evaluation of a certain type of power. The results suggest that new criteria are needed in order to review the classification of the two main groups.

description: Social innovation in health is a ground-up, community-engaged process that draws on the diverse strengths of local individuals to drive social change and health improvement. Social innovation may be particularly useful in low and middle-income countries to ensure effective and sustainable health solutions. The purpose of this study is to describe the findings of a global youth (18–35 years old) crowdsourcing open call on social innovations, and to identify the levels of engagement in such innovations. We organized a global crowdsourcing open call (Go Youth!) to identify and recognize youth social innovations in health and adopted both quantitative and qualitative approaches to analyze our data. For quantitative analyses, we described the socio-demographic characteristics of youth who submitted innovations. For qualitative analyses, we adopted a deductive-inductive analytic approach utilizing an adapted Hart’s Ladder as a conceptual framework for our thematic analysis of participants’ submissions, which comprised four levels of youth engagement: none, minimal, moderate, and substantial. The open call received 99 eligible submissions. Most participants were 23 years of age or older (90.7%), resided in LMICs (98.0%), male (64.3%), and had a bachelor’s or higher degree (72.4%). Most of the submissions were written in English (93.9%), located in Africa (69.7%), and had prior implementation (60.2%). A total of 39 innovations had substantial youth engagement and qualitative data suggested that youth leadership and peer mentorship of other youth in the community were important aspects of engagement. LMIC youth developed and implemented social innovations that had evidence of impact or effectiveness in their communities, illustrating how social innovation approaches may be feasible in LMICs. More efforts should be made to identify and empower youth in these settings to spark change.
