description: Cri du chat syndrome (CdCS) and primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) are rare diseases that present with frequent respiratory symptoms. PCD can be caused by hemizygous DNAH5 mutation in combination with a 5p segmental deletion attributable to CdCS on the opposite chromosome. Chronic oto-sino-pulmonary symptoms or organ laterality defects in CdCS should prompt an evaluation for PCD.

description: Most of the complex social, technological and biological networks have a significant community structure. Therefore the community structure of complex networks has to be considered as a universal property, together with the much explored small-world and scale-free properties of these networks. Despite the large interest in characterizing the community structures of real networks, not enough attention has been devoted to the detection of universal mechanisms able to spontaneously generate networks with communities. Triadic closure is a natural mechanism to make new connections, especially in social networks. Here we show that models of network growth based on simple triadic closure naturally lead to the emergence of community structure, together with fat-tailed distributions of node degree, high clustering coefficients. Communities emerge from the initial stochastic heterogeneity in the concentration of links, followed by a cycle of growth and fragmentation. Communities are the more pronounced, the sparser the graph, and disappear for high values of link density and randomness in the attachment procedure. By introducing a fitness-based link attractivity for the nodes, we find a novel phase transition, where communities disappear for high heterogeneity of the fitness distribution, but a new mesoscopic organization of the nodes emerges, with groups of nodes being shared between just a few superhubs, which attract most of the links of the system.

title: Die verborgene Bildersprache Bruno Kreiskys
Creators: name: Gölles, Martin
Year: 2021

description: Diese Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der eingesetzten metaphorischen Sprache des österreichischen Bundeskanzlers a.D., Bruno Kreisky (1911-1990) in dessen Reden im Kontext außenpolitischer Themen in der Zeit zwischen 1960 und 1980. Die zentrale Forschungsfrage lautet dabei wie folgt: „Anhand welcher Metaphern versuchte der Bundeskanzler a.D. Bruno Kreisky das außenpolitische Engagement Österreichs in seinen Reden innenpolitisch als Erfolg darzustellen?“ Die Grundthese, welcher nachgegangen wird, lautet, dass Bruno Kreisky in seinen außenpolitischen Reden meist besonders hervorhob inwiefern Österreich in den Bereichen der Wirtschaft, der Sicherheit und der Erhöhung des internationalen Ansehens durch dessen außenpolitisches Engagement bzw. jenes seiner Regierung profitieren würde, um die österreichische Bevölkerung von seinem Einsatz in jenem Bereich zu überzeugen und diesen innenpolitisch als erfolgreich zu präsentieren. Als Primärquelle dienen zwei Redebände der gesammelten Reden Kreiskys aus der Zeit zwischen 1960 und 1980. Aus diesen wurden 26 Reden extrahiert, die danach ausgesucht wurden, ob in diesen über Österreich, dessen außenpolitischen Einsatz sowie über die durch diesen entstandenen positiven Rückwirkungen auf das Land gesprochen wird. Die Reden werden im Hinblick auf die drei zuvor genannten zentralen Aspekte des Ansehens, der Wirtschaft sowie der Sicherheit und Neutralitätsauslegung des Landes einer Metaphernanalyse nach den beiden Linguisten Mark Johnson und George Lakoff unterzogen. Diese besagen, dass unserer alltäglichen Sprache und unserem Denken diverse metaphorischen Konzepte zugrunde liegen. In der Conclusio werden nochmals zentrale Ergebnisse der Arbeit festgehalten wie etwa immer wiederkehrende zentrale Sprachbilder (Topoi) Kreiskys sowie die Erkenntnis, dass sein außenpolitisches Engagement stets auch vom Nutzen für Österreich geprägt war.

description: Spintronic THz emitters (STEs) rely on spin current acceleration or decay, resulting in a burst of broadband THz emission, offering a new route to THz optics. Here, we demonstrate novel metastructures of STEs for molding the vectorial focal distribution of the emitted THz radiations. The metastructures also allow controlling the characteristics of local fields. Performing combined micromagnetic-electromagnetic simulations, we demonstrate the generation of broadband THz fields with designed vectorial, chiral, magnetic, or topological features and discuss the potential of these fields for studying magnetic, multiferroic, and chiral structures. The STEs metastructure is shown to produce higher-order electric and magnetic multipoles as well as localized, longitudinal, broadband magnetoelectric THz pulses. Furthermore, subwavelength features of the near fields at a distance less than 10 μm can be tuned by steering the magnetization of the metastructure. The results point to a new type of engineered STEs for the generation of structured broadband THz fields, with potential applications in the fields of optoelectronics, optics, and ultrafast magnetism.

description: Class I histone deacetylases, HDAC1, HDAC2, and HDAC3, represent potential targets for cancer treatment. However, the development of isoform-selective drugs for these enzymes remains challenging due to their high sequence and structural similarity. In the current study, we applied a computational approach to predict the selectivity profile of developed inhibitors. Molecular docking followed by MD simulation and calculation of binding free energy was performed for a dataset of 2-aminobenzamides comprising 30 previously developed inhibitors. For each HDAC isoform, a significant correlation was found between the binding free energy values and in vitro inhibitory activities. The predictive accuracy and reliability of the best preforming models were assessed on an external test set of newly designed and synthesized inhibitors. The developed binding free-energy models are cost-effective methods and help to reduce the time required to prioritize compounds for further studies.

description: Ferroelectric polymer films offer strong advantages like mechanical flexibility, biocompatibility, optical transparency, and low-cost processing. However, their dielectric or piezoelectric performance is often inferior to that of oxide ferroelectric materials. Key to the dielectric or piezoelectric performance of semicrystalline polymers is the enhancement of electric dipolar order that is naturally lower than in crystalline ferroelectrics. Here, reorientation and alignment of the electric polarization in thin films by the mechanical effect of a scanning unbiased force microscopy tip is demonstrated as a versatile tool for nanoscale domain writing. Thin films (50–150 nm) of PVDF-TrFE (78:22) on graphite are prepared with dense (110)-oriented β-phase lamellae randomly oriented in the film plane. The in-plane polarization can be poled “mechanically” along any deliberately chosen direction in the film plane after vertical electric poling. Domain patterns with resolution down to ≈50 nm are written with four (out of six possible) local polarization orientations. Written domains show excellent long-time stability. The surface roughening from the mechanical treatment is moderate (rms roughness of 2–3 nm). A ferroelastic origin of the mechanical polarization switching is discussed. Finally, suggestions are made how to utilize the domain patterns in thin film devices.

description: Background: The STADPLAN study is a cluster-randomised controlled trial including 27 home care services in Germany. It assesses the effect of an advance care planning (ACP) intervention delivered by trained nurses to older care-dependent patients. Patients received two ACP conversations and an information brochure. Nurses were educated through a two-day programme and topic guides structuring the conversations. Objectives of the process evaluation were to determine: [1] whether the intervention was implemented as planned, [2] which change mechanisms were observed, [3] whether targeted process outcomes were achieved and [4] in which way contextual factors influenced the implementation process. Methods: The process evaluation is based on a mixed methods approach following the recommendations of the UK-MRC framework for the development and evaluation of complex interventions. Qualitative and quantitative assessments were developed and analysed guided by a logic model comprising intervention, participants, mechanisms of change and context factors. The results of the main trial will be published elsewhere. Results: Educational programme and topic guides were mostly implemented as planned and resulted in motivation, knowledge, and perceived competencies to facilitate ACP conversations in nurses. Deviances in the performance of ACP conversations indicated patients’ varied individual needs, but also obstacles like reluctance of patients and caregivers to participate actively and time constraints of nurse facilitators. Patients and caregivers reported increased awareness of ACP, planning and other activities indicating that targeted process outcomes could be achieved. The relevance of multifaceted contextual factors acting as barriers or facilitators for the engagement in ACP interventions on the individual, organisational and macro level was evident. Conclusions: The process evaluation elicits obstacles and achievements of the ACP intervention. The logic model organised a plethora of mixed methods data into a holistic picture of multifaceted results. Nurses as ACP facilitators in home care can fulfil a crucial initiating role based on a trusting relationship with their patients. To support older care-dependent people’s ACP engagement, access should be simplified. Furthermore, education for nurse facilitators and sufficient resources for service provision are needed. Independent of monetary reimbursement, healthcare providers must respect patients’ choice for or against any ACP intervention.
title: Veränderung des Ernährungsverhaltens und die Einnahme von Nahrungsergänzungsmitteln von Krebspatientinnen nach Carboplatin- bzw. Cisplatin-Therapie
Creators: name: Friedrich, Michelle

description: Chemotherapie führt bei vielen Krebspatient*innen zu Nebenwirkungen, welche sich negativ auf die Ernährung und die Lebensqualität auswirken. Durch die Gabe von Zytostatika treten bei Krebserkrankten oftmals Durchfall, Übelkeit oder Erbrechen auf, welche zu einer Mangelernährung führen können. Aufgrund dieser Begleiterscheinungen greifen viele Patient*innen zu Nahrungsergänzungsmitteln, dies wird häufig nicht mit den behandelnden Ärzt*innen abgesprochen. Ein schlechter Ernährungsstatus steht mit einem geringeren Ansprechen auf die Behandlung, sowie einer geringen Überlebensrate im Zusammenhang. Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit ist es, zu beantworten, wie sich das Ernährungsverhalten durch eine Chemotherapie verändert und wie hierbei Nebenwirkungen geringgehalten werden können. Um diese Fragen zu beantworten, wurden vier Ernährungs- und Nebenwirkungstagebücher mit Hilfe von Häufigkeitsanalysen ausgewertet. Hierbei lag der Fokus auf Eierstockkrebspatientinnen, welche im Rahmen einer Pilotstudie zur Evaluierung der Geschmackstestung unter Chemotherapie, rekrutiert wurden. Die Studie wurde in Zusammenarbeit mit dem AKH, dem Institut für Physiologische Chemie und dem Departement für Ernährungswissenschaften der Universität Wien durchgeführt. Aufgrund der aktuellen Corona Pandemie war es nicht möglich mehr Daten zu erheben und auszuwerten. Die vorläufig erhobenen Daten zeigen, dass in dieser Stichprobe keine nennenswerten Auffälligkeiten in Bezug auf eine mögliche Veränderung des Essverhaltens in Abhängigkeit von der Chemotherapie zu sehen sind. Generell war jedoch zu beobachten, dass die aktuelle Ernährung nicht ganz mit den Empfehlungen der österreichischen Ernährungspyramide übereinstimmt. Nebenwirkungen traten nur selten auf. Dies widerspricht der gängigen Literatur. Ein Körpergewichtsverlust, sowie die Einnahme von Nahrungsergänzungsmitteln konnten bei zwei der vier Probandinnen beobachtet werden. Die vorläufigen Ergebnisse dieser Arbeit zeigen keine auffälligen Veränderungen des Ernährungsverhaltens. Da jedoch vorhandene Daten und Studien das Gegenteil beweisen, ist auf diesem Gebiet weitere Forschung notwendig. Hierbei sollte vor allem eine größere Studienpopulation miteinbezogen werden, um aussagekräftige Ergebnisse zu erhalten und die Wichtigkeit einer ernährungsmedizinischen Versorgung zu bestätigen, sodass multidisziplinäre Ansätze entwickelt werden können, um die Ernährungsversorgung von Krebserkrankten zu verbessern.

description: Ferromagnet/heavy metal bilayers represent a central building block for spintronic devices where the magnetization of the ferromagnet can be controlled by spin currents generated in the heavy metal. The efficiency of spin current generation is paramount. Equally important is the efficient transfer of this spin current across the ferromagnet/heavy metal interface. Here, we show theoretically and experimentally that for Ta as heavy metal the interface only partially transmits the spin current while this effect is absent when Pt is used as heavy metal. This is due to magnetic moment reduction at the interface caused by 3d–5d hybridization effects. We show that this effect can be avoided by atomically thin interlayers. On the basis of our theoretical model we conclude that this is a general effect and occurs for all 5d metals with less than half-filled 5d shell.

description: A generalization of the Aubry-André-Harper (AAH) model is developed, containing a tunable phase shift between on-site and off-diagonal modulations. A localization transition can be induced by varying just this phase, keeping all other model parameters constant. The complete localization phase diagram is obtained. Unlike the original AAH model, the generalized model can exhibit a transition between topologically trivial bandstructures and topologically non-trivial bandstructures containing protected boundary states. These boundary states can be pumped across the system by adiabatic variations in the phase shift parameter. The model can also be used to demonstrate the phenomenon of adiabatic pumping breakdown due to localization.

description: Recently a zoology of non-collinear chiral spin textures has been discovered, most of which, such as skyrmions and antiskyrmions, have integer topological charges. Here we report the experimental real-space observation of the formation and stability of fractional antiskyrmions and fractional elliptical skyrmions in a Heusler material. These fractional objects appear, over a wide range of temperature and magnetic field, at the edges of a sample, whose interior is occupied by an array of nano-objects with integer topological charges, in agreement with our simulations. We explore the evolution of these objects in the presence of magnetic fields and show their interconversion to objects with integer topological charges. This means the topological charge can be varied continuously. These fractional spin textures are not just another type of skyrmion, but are essentially a new state of matter that emerges and lives only at the boundary of a magnetic system. The coexistence of both integer and fractionally charged spin textures in the same material makes the Heusler family of compounds unique for the manipulation of the real-space topology of spin textures and thus an exciting platform for spintronic and magnonic applications.

description: Any Dark Energy (DE) or Modified Gravity (MG) model that deviates from a cosmological constant requires a consistent treatment of its perturbations, which can be described in terms of an effective entropy perturbation and an anisotropic stress. We have considered a recently proposed generic parameterisation of DE/MG perturbations and compared it to data from the Planck satellite and six galaxy catalogues, including temperature-galaxy (Tg), CMB lensing-galaxy and galaxy-galaxy (gg) correlations. Combining these observables of structure formation with tests of the background expansion allows us to investigate the properties of DE/MG both at the background and the perturbative level. Our constraints on DE/MG are mostly in agreement with the cosmological constant paradigm, while we also find that the constraint on the equation of state w (assumed to be constant) depends on the model assumed for the perturbation evolution. We obtain $w=-0.92^{+0.20}_{-0.16}$ (95% CL; CMB+gg+Tg) in the entropy perturbation scenario; in the anisotropic stress case the result is $w=-0.86^{+0.17}_{-0.16}$. Including the lensing correlations shifts the results towards higher values of w. If we include a prior on the expansion history from recent Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO) measurements, we find that the constraints tighten closely around $w=-1$, making it impossible to measure any DE/MG perturbation evolution parameters. If, however, upcoming observations from surveys like DES, Euclid or LSST show indications for a deviation from a cosmological constant, our formalism will be a useful tool towards model selection in the dark sector.

description: The F2-isoprostane 8-iso-PGF2α (also known as 15-F2t-isoprostane, iPF2α-III, 8-epi PGF2α, 15(S)-8-iso-PGF2α, or 8-Isoprostane), a thromboxane A2 receptor (TP) agonist, stable biomarker of oxidative stress, and risk marker of cardiovascular disease, has been proposed to aggravate atherogenesis in genetic mouse models of atherosclerotic vascular disease. Moreover, the TP plays an eminent role in the pathophysiology of endothelial dysfunction, atherogenesis, and cardiovascular disease. Yet it is unknown, how the TP expressed by vascular cells affects atherogenesis or 8-iso-PGF2α-related effects in mouse models of atherosclerosis. We studied Ldlr-deficient vascular endothelial-specific (EC) and vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC)-specific TP knockout mice (TPEC KO/Ldlr KO; TPVSMC KO/Ldlr KO) and corresponding wild-type littermates (TPWT/Ldlr KO). The mice were fed a Western-type diet for eight weeks and received either 8-iso-PGF2α or vehicle infusions via osmotic pumps. Subsequently, arterial blood pressure, atherosclerotic lesion formation, and lipid profiles were analyzed. We found that VSMC-, but not EC-specific TP deletion, attenuated atherogenesis without affecting blood pressure or plasma lipid profiles of the mice. In contrast to a previous report, 8-iso-PGF2α tended to reduce atherogenesis in TPWT/Ldlr KO and TPEC KO/Ldlr KO mice, again without significantly affecting blood pressure or lipid profiles of these mice. However, no further reduction in atherogenesis was observed in 8-iso-PGF2α-treated TPVSMC KO/Ldlr KO mice. Our work suggests that the TP expressed in VSMC but not the TP expressed in EC is involved in atherosclerotic lesion formation in Ldlr-deficient mice. Furthermore, we report an inhibitory effect of 8-iso-PGF2α on atherogenesis in this experimental atherosclerosis model, which paradoxically appears to be related to the presence of the TP in VSMC.

description: Superconductivity in heavy-fermion materials can sometimes appear in the incoherent regime and in proximity to an antiferromagnetic quantum critical point. Here we study these phenomena using large scale determinant quantum Monte Carlo simulations and the dynamical cluster approximation with various impurity solvers for the periodic Anderson model with frustrated hybridization. We obtain solid evidence for a $d_{x^2-y^2}$ superconducting phase arising from an incoherent normal state in the vicinity of an antiferromagnetic quantum critical point. There is a coexistence region and the width of the superconducting dome increases with frustration. Through a study of the pairing dynamics we find that the retarded spin-fluctuations give the main contribution to the pairing glue. These results are relevant for unconventional superconductivity in the Ce-$115$ family of heavy-fermions.

description: Background: Using reliable and valid clinical tests are essential for proper diagnosis and clinical outcomes among injuries involving the rotator cuff. The addition of a new clinical examination test could improve the clinical diagnosis and informative value of the sensitivity and specificity of pathology. This study of diagnostic accuracy evaluated the use of a new rotator cuff test, called the internal rotation and shift-test (IRO/shift-test), to determine its reliability and clinical performance (sensitivity, specificity, positive (PPV)/negative predictive value (NPV)). Clinical diagnostic outcomes were confirmed with radiological findings (MRI). Methods: 100 patients from a specialized shoulder unit participated (64 male, 36 female, mean age: 55 ± 13.5 years). A single-blinded (no knowledge of prior clinical or technical diagnostics) study design was used with two experienced physicians performing the IRO/shift-test. For clinical performance, all clinical testing was compared with MRI. Results: The intra-rater (ICC = 0.73, 95% CI: 60-82) and inter-rater (ICC = 0.89, 95% CI: 81-94) coefficients for the IRO/shift-test showed good-to-excellent reliability. 75% of the patients showed a positive IRO/shift-test, while 65% had a radiologically diagnosed superior rotator cuff tear. 60% of these patients had both a positive IRO/shift-test and objective rotator cuff tear via MRI. The sensitivity of the IRO/shift-test to detect superior rotator cuff lesions based on MRI diagnosis was calculated at 92% (95% CI: 86-99%), while specificity was 67% (95% CI: 50-84%). Predictive values were also found to be high with 86% PPV (95% CI: 78-94%) and 80% NPV (95% CI: 64-96%). Conclusion: Our results demonstrate that the IRO/shift-test is a reliable and valid tool for assessing superior rotator cuff pathology. With good-to-excellent intrarater and inter-rater reliability and strong sensitivity and specificity this test should be considered a valuable addition to clinicians’ cadre of clinical evaluation tools.

description: Background: Growing evidence suggests that individuals with transfemoral amputation or knee disarticulation using a prosthesis equipped with a microprocessor-controlled knee (MPK) benefit from enhanced mobility and safety, including less falls. In elderly individuals, high mortality rates are assumed to reduce the expected useful life of MPKs, and this raises concerns regarding their economic effectiveness. Objective: To investigate the cost-effectiveness and budget impact of the Kenevo/MPK (Ottobock, Germany) compared with non–microprocessor-controlled knees (NMPKs) in people older than 65 years at the time of transfemoral amputation/knee disarticulation, from a Swedish payer’s perspective. Methods: A decision-analytic model was developed to conduct the economic analysis of the Kenevo/MPK. Model parameters were derived from Swedish databases and published literature. Univariate and probabilistic sensitivity analyses were performed to explore parameter uncertainty. Results: Compared with NMPKs, the Kenevo/MPK reduced the frequency of hospitalizations by 137 per 1,000 person years while the frequency of fatal falls was reduced by 19 per 1,000 person-years in the simulation. Over a 25-year time horizon, the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio was EUR11,369 per quality-adjusted life year. The probability of the MPK being cost-effective at a threshold of EUR40,000 per quality-adjusted life year was 99%. The 5-year budget impact model predicted an increase in payer expenditure of EUR1.76 million if all new patients received a Kenevo/MPK, and 50% of current NMPK users switched to the MPK. Conclusions: Results of the modeling suggest that the Kenevo/MPK is likely to be cost-effective for elderly individuals, primarily because of a reduction in falls.

This allows us to deduce that an operator system associated to a generating set of countable discrete group by Farenick et al. is (min, ess)-nuclear if and only if the group is amenable. We also make a detailed comparison between ess and other operator system tensor products and show that an operator system associated to a minimal generating set of a finitely generated discrete group (resp., a finite graph) is (min, max)-nuclear if and only if the group is of order less than or equal to 3 (resp., every component of the graph is complete).

description: Erinnerung und Literatur stehen in einem engen, vielschichtigen Verhältnis zueinander. So stellen Erinnerungen einerseits ein beliebtes Sujet literarischer Texte dar, andererseits wirken Texte mitunter auch als Gedächtnismedien. Dabei verfügen sie über zwei grundlegende Funktionen: Gedächtnisbildung und Gedächtnisreflexion. Die vorliegende Masterarbeit setzt hier an und untersucht Katja Petrowskajas 2014 erschienenen Text 'Vielleicht Esther', in dem die Ich-Erzählerin die lückenhafte, verworrene Geschichte ihrer Familie zu rekonstruieren versucht, in Hinblick auf dessen erinnerungsreflexives Potential. Den theoretischen Rahmen dafür bildet Astrid Erlls Konzept der Rhetorik des kollektiven Gedächtnisses, im Zuge dessen sie einen reflexiven Modus sowie für diesen typische Merkmale – wie zum Beispiel die Bezugnahme auf bestehende Gedächtniskonzepte anderer Wissenschaftsdisziplinen oder die zeitgenössische Gedächtnisreflexion – definiert. Die Analyse zeigt, dass es sich bei 'Vielleicht Esther' um einen hochgradig gedächtnisreflexiven Text handelt, welcher Erlls Merkmale des reflexiven Modus umfassend umsetzt. Dadurch macht der Text Erinnerungsvorgänge mitsamt den damit einhergehenden Schwierigkeiten und Unsicherheiten beobachtbar und gibt tiefgreifende Einblicke in verschiedene Prozesse des Gedächtnisses – sowohl auf individueller als auch auf kollektiver Ebene.

description: Gold nanoparticles where synthesized and supported on carbon, or directly synthesized on carbon according to five different methods reported in literature, aiming at particles<10 nm. Characterization was done with transmission electron microscopy and thermogravimetric analysis. Although all syntheses yielded particles with an average diameter<10 nm, the formation of few very large particles, where a relatively large amount of Au is buried, as well as loss during the supporting procedure led to the exclusion of four of the five tested methods for further studies. The most promising AuNPs supported on carbon where tested for the methanol electrooxidation (MEO) in alkaline media. Four different Au-loadings where realized, and supporting led to moderate particle growth depending on the loading. To compare MEO activity of the samples with different Au-loadings a conversion factor was developed where the MEO activity can be compared in terms of NP size and Au-loading.
Optical conductivity of topological Kondo insulating states

description: Using real-space dynamical mean field quantum Monte Carlo simulations, we study the optical conductivity of two-dimensional topological Kondo insulating states. We consider model parameters which allow us to consider mixed valence and local moment regimes. The real space resolution inherent to our approach reveals a renormalization of the hybridization gap as one approaches the edge. Low energy transport is dominated by the helical edge state and the corresponding Drude weight scales as the coherence scale of the heavy fermion state. The concomitant renormalization of the edge state velocity leads to a constant edge local density of states. We discuss the implication of our results for the three dimensional case.

description: Owing to restrictions of the COVID-19 pandemic, increased stress is evident in university students with a lifetime history of non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI). Therefore, we examined two groups of university students (n = 174) in an online survey, one that exhibited early NSSI in adolescence (n = 51) and another that exhibited continuous NSSI beyond the age of 18 (n = 123) (German Clinical Trials Register DRKS00023731). We compared the two groups in terms of depressive symptoms in the previous 2 weeks as well as self-perceived changes in emotional burden, urge to self-injure and NSSI frequency in the first year of the pandemic compared with the year before (pre-pandemic). Among other findings, both groups showed an increase in emotional burden and urge to self-injure.

title: Sportler*innen als Human Brands
Creators: name: Mayer, Julia
Year: 2021

description: Das Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit ist es, das Engagement der Follower*innen auf Instagram in Bezug auf Sportler*innen, die als Human Brands fungieren, genauer zu untersuchen. Anhand bereits gewonnener Erkenntnisse aus dem Human Branding und dem Influencer*innen-Marketing wurden die Besonderheiten des Human Brandings genauer untersucht und Empfehlungen dafür gegeben, wie Sportler*innen sich als Human Brands bestmöglich vermarkten können. Vor allem Selfies ermöglichen es Human Brands sich online zu vermarkten und eine parasoziale Beziehung zwischen Follower*innen und Human Brand aufzubauen. Eine parasoziale Beziehung ermöglicht schließlich den Aufbau einer emotionalen Bindung der Follower*innen an die Human Brand und führt in weiterer Folge zu einem erhöhten Engagement der Follower*innen. Die zentrale Fragestellung der vorliegenden Arbeit lautet: Welche Fotoart (Selfie oder klassisches Foto) führt unter Berücksichtigung des Einflusses durch den Kontext (Sport oder Privat), die parasoziale Beziehung und die emotionale Bindung zu mehr Engagement der Follower*innen? Die Forschungsfrage wurde mittels eines experimentellen Forschungsdesigns anhand von vier Experimentalgruppen untersucht. Mithilfe von PROCESS für IBM SPSS Statistics wurde eine moderierte Mediationsanalyse der 156 Proband*innen durchgeführt. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass kein statistisch signifikanter Einfluss der Fotoart, sowohl in Bezug auf das Engagement der Follower*innen als auch auf die parasoziale Beziehung der Follower*innen an die*den Sportler*in, nachgewiesen werden konnte. Außerdem stellt der Kontext keinen Moderator zwischen der Fotoart und der parasozialen Beziehung der Follower*innen an die*den Sportler*in dar. Es konnte jedoch ein positiver statistisch signifikanter Einfluss der parasozialen Beziehung auf die emotionale Bindung der Follower*innen an die*den Sportler*in und in weiterer Folge ein positiver statistisch signifikanter Einfluss der emotionalen Bindung auf das Engagement der Follower*innen nachgewiesen werden.

description: In an emotional Stop-Signal Task we examined how emotional expressions may affect inhibitory control. While disgusted faces stimulated inhibitory control, angry faces impeded it. Only focus on emotional expressions, but not on gender, influenced inhibition. Our study has confirmed that inhibitory control can by modulated by behavioral tendencies induced by attentional focus on emotional stimuli.

description: This deliverable presents the initial data management plan (DMP) for the starting community research infrastructure NanoCommons. It is a living document that will be updated over the course of the project, with the final plan to be delivered at the end of the project. We anticipate that at least two other versions of the plan will be developed, to accommodate the fast changing field of Open and FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable) data in Europe. The initial DMP covers a significant part of the life cycle of research data, but cannot cover its life after the end of this project. It covers the initial process of thinking about how research data will be captured and handled during the research, networking and transnational activities (JRA, NA and TA, respectively), the follow up process of making it Open and FAIR, and finally the long-term deposition of the data (and models and other outputs), to ensure a life after the end of the NanoCommons project. Note that there are dedicated activities developing a sustainability plan for the complete set of NanoCommons tools/services and approaches (i.e. the research infrastructure itself, including the NanoCommons Data Warehouse (data repository), which will ensure long term access under the FAIR principles and will be made available to current and future nanosafety projects and other stakeholders. The NanoCommons Data Warehouse may also be used as an application for an Advanced Community, and application for establishment of an European Research Infrastructure Consortium (ERIC), via Deliverable report D10.3 “NanoCommons Sustainability Plan”. The NanoCommons data management strategy follows the description-of-action (DoA), (Section 29.3, page 49) which prescribes access to all research data produced in the project, including that produced with Users of the TA facilities. Therefore, this deliverable will also describe suggestions for how the project partners and TA users can make data available in both Open and FAIR formats. Note that the NanoCommons DMP builds on DMP’s from related projects such as OpenRIskNet and adapts it for other types of data, such as that generated by Transnational Access (TA) Users.
