description: This research seeks to understand the changing nature of Syria’s oppositional civil society, notably following the uprising in 2011. As such, the main research question of this thesis is Has Syrian civil society changed since the start of the uprising in 2011? If so, how and why? In order to answer these questions, it adopts a critical-constructivist approach and uses qualitative research methods in the form of in-depth semi-structured interviews with and social media observations on key actors within this realm. From a contextually based approach a reconceptualisation of civil society is undertaken which identifies Syrian civil society as: acting in a state of war, politically engaged and emerging from below. Therefore it moves civil society beyond a neo-liberal tool that removes its agency and autonomy and instead sees its primary function as a form of resistance against the hegemonic powers. This resistance is undertaken by the citizen-activists of the uprising, identified as a new organic intelligentsia, as a means of reclaiming their right to the political. In doing this, these organic intellectuals become representatives of civil society through their articulation of its political voice. Three phases in the metamorphosis of Syria’s oppositional civil society are identified. The pre- uprising phase - dominated by intellectuals who were dislocated from society and restricted by an authoritarian regime, who paved the way towards the uprising. The early uprising phase - signified a significant shift in civil society, as emerging from below, from amongst the citizen-activists of the non-violent movements of the uprising, who found a space of freedom outside of regime control to more overtly resist. The later uprising phase - presented a civil society that was forced to move beyond the borders of Syria to form transnational networks of Syrian civil society, who maintained their resistance and continue to work towards social and political change.

description: Attached to proteins, lipids, or forming long, complex chains, glycans represent the most versatile post-translational modification in nature and surround all human cells. Unique glycan structures are monitored by the immune system and differentiate self from non-self and healthy from malignant cells. Aberrant glycosylations, termed tumour-associated carbohydrate antigens (TACAs), are a hallmark of cancer and are correlated with all aspects of cancer biology. Therefore, TACAs represent attractive targets for monoclonal antibodies for cancer diagnosis and therapy. However, due to the thick and dense glycocalyx as well as the tumour micro-environment, conventional antibodies often suffer from restricted access and limited effectiveness in vivo. To overcome this issue, many small antibody fragments have come forth, showing similar affinity with better efficiency than their full-length counterparts. Here we review small antibody fragments against specific glycans on tumour cells and highlight their advantages over conventional antibodies.

description: In der 49. Folge von „Justitias Töchter“ sprechen Dana und Selma mit Dilken Çelebi, Vorsitzende der Strafrechtskommission im Deutschen Juristinnenbund, über geschlechtsspezifische und Partnerschaftsgewalt – und über die politischen Maßnahmen, die gegen diese Gewalt ergriffen werden sollen. Im Fokus steht dabei nicht nur, was sich die schwarz-rote Koalition in diesem Bereich vorgenommen hat, sondern auch eine besorgniserregende Diskursverschiebung: Rassistische, sexistische, demokratiefeindliche und rechte Positionen werden zunehmend normalisiert – nicht nur in Politikfeldern wie der Migrationspolitik, sondern auch in klassisch feministischen Feldern wie dem Schutz von Frauen und marginalisierten Personen vor Gewalt. Gemeinsam mit der Expertin Dilken Çelebi beleuchten Dana und Selma, wie Gleichstellungs- und Frauenpolitik heute teilweise instrumentalisiert und insbesondere rassistisch vereinnahmt wird. Wie können wir als Feminist*innen dieser Entwicklung entgegentreten?

description: Spectroscopic ellipsometry is a powerful method with high surface sensitivity that can be used to monitor the growth of even sub-monolayer films. However, analysis of ultrathin films is complicated by the correlation between the dielectric constant and thickness. This problem is usually resolved by fixing one or the other value, limiting the information that can be extracted. Here, we propose a method to determine unambiguously the refractive index, extinction coefficient, and thickness of a film when a transparent range is available in the energy range investigated. We decompose the analysis in three steps. First, the thickness of the film is determined from the transparent range of the film. Then, knowing the thickness of the layer, an initial estimation of the refractive index and extinction coefficient is made based on a first-order Taylor expansion of the ellipsometric ratio. Finally, using this estimation, a numerical iteration is done to ensure convergence of the fit toward the solution. A theoretical example of the method is given for two different thicknesses of TiO2 films. Finally, the method is applied to the experimental data measured during the atomic layer deposition of a thin film of Hf0.5Zr0.5O2 grown on Si. The thickness, refractive index, and extinction coefficient are retrieved with high precision (respectively, 0.01 and 0.002) in the energy range of 3.5–6.5 eV. A detailed analysis is presented on the accuracy of the retrieved values and their dependency on random and systematic errors for different energy ranges.

description: This study uses an integrated multi-method geoarcheological and geochronological approach to contribute to the understanding of the timing and stratigraphy of the monumental burial mound royal tomb (Königsgrab) of Seddin. We show that the hitherto established radiocarbon-based terminus post quem time frame for the construction of the burial mound of 910–800 BCE is supported by optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating. The radiocarbon samples were obtained from a substrate directly underneath the burial mound which supposedly represents the late glacial/Holocene soil that was buried below the structure. We use sedimentological (grain-size analyses) and geochemical analyses (element analyses, carbon, pH, and electric conductivity determinations) to reassess and confirm this hypothesis. In addition to the burial age associated with the last anthropogenic reworking during construction of the burial mound, the OSL dating results provide new insights into the primary deposition history of the original substrates used for the structure. In combination with regional information about the middle and late Quaternary development of the environment, our data allow us to provide a synoptic genetic model of the landscape development and the multiphase stratigraphy of the royal tomb of Seddin within the Late Bronze Age cultural group “Seddiner Gruppe” of northern Germany. Based on our initial experiences with OSL dating applied to the sediments of a burial mound – to the best of our knowledge the first attempt in Europe – we propose a minimal invasive approach to obtain datable material from burial mounds and discuss related opportunities and challenges.

Harnessing CRISPR technology for the treatment of cystic fibrosis
Creators: name: Maule, Giulia
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Trento
Year: 2020

description: Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive disease caused by mutations in the CFTR gene. A significant number of mutations (~13%) alter the correct splicing of the CFTR gene, causing the transcription of aberrant transcripts resulting in the production of a non-functional CFTR channel. We focus our research on two intronic CF causing mutations, 3272-26A>G and 3849+10kbC>T that create a new acceptor and donor splice site, respectively, generating in the inclusion of intronic portions into the mRNA.
We developed a new genome editing approach to permanently correct the abovementioned mutations by means of CRISPR nucleases. We exploited the use of either Streptococcus pyogenes Cas9, SpCas9, or Acidaminococcus sp. BV3L6, AsCas12a, to edit the aberrant splicing sites and restore the production of the correct transcript, avoiding modifications of the CFTR coding sequence.
A comparative analysis between SpCas9 and AsCas12a revealed that the use of AsCas12a with a single crRNA efficiently edits the target loci, producing correctly spliced mRNAs in both 3272-26A>G and 3849+10kbC>T mutations. Furthermore, this genetic repair strategy proved to be highly specific, exhibiting a strong discrimination between the mutated and the wild-type allele and no detectable off-target activity with genome-wide analysis.
The selected crRNAs were tested in patients derived primary airway cells and intestinal organoids compound heterozygous for the 3272-26A>G or 3849+10kbC>T mutations, that are considered relevant CF models for translational research. The efficient splicing repair and the complete recovery of CFTR channel activity observed confirmed the goodness of the proposed gene editing strategy.
These results demonstrated that allele-specific genome editing with AsCas12a can correct aberrant CFTR splicing mutations, paving the way for a permanent splicing correction in genetic diseases.

description: We model monthly precipitation maxima at 132 stations in Germany for a wide range of durations from 1 min to about 6 d using a duration-dependent generalized extreme value (d-GEV) distribution with monthly varying parameters. This allows for the estimation of both monthly and annual intensity–duration–frequency (IDF) curves: (1) the monthly IDF curves of the summer months exhibit a more rapid decrease of intensity with duration, as well as higher intensities for short durations than the IDF curves for the remaining months of the year. Thus, when short convective extreme events occur, they are very likely to occur in summer everywhere in Germany. In contrast, extreme events with a duration of several hours up to about 1 d are conditionally more likely to occur within a longer period or even spread throughout the whole year, depending on the station. There are major differences within Germany with respect to the months in which long-lasting stratiform extreme events are more likely to occur. At some stations the IDF curves (for a given quantile) for different months intersect. The meteorological interpretation of this intersection is that the season in which a certain extreme event is most likely to occur shifts from summer towards autumn or winter for longer durations. (2) We compare the annual IDF curves resulting from the monthly model with those estimated conventionally, that is, based on modeling annual maxima. We find that adding information in the form of smooth variations during the year leads to a considerable reduction of uncertainties. We additionally observe that at some stations, the annual IDF curves obtained by modeling monthly maxima deviate from the assumption of scale invariance, resulting in a flattening in the slope of the IDF curves for long durations.

description: Using new historical data, this paper evaluates Wagner?s Law in Italy over the time period from 1862 to 2009. To this aim, cointegration and Granger causation are used to investigate the long run relationship between government expenditure and GDP. Moreover, DOLS method is applied to estimate consistent long run elasticity between these two variables. Our main findings are that Wagner?s Law does not hold in the long run for total government expenditure. However, we find strong support for Wagner?s Law in the shorter time span from 1862 to the end of the 19th century. Such a result seems the consequence of state-building after Italy?s political unification. The new-born Italian state made a huge effort to create nation-wide infrastructures (i.e., railways, telegraph, mail, and so on) as well as an administrative structure well-ramified throughout the country. Conversely, evidence in support of Wagner?s Law is weaker in the period following WW2. Now Wagner?s Law is not verified for total government expenditure, but only for social spending, infrastructure spending, and spending for subsidies to the economy. This seems the consequence of the expansion of income-elastic cultural and welfare expenditures that were demanded to the state.

description: Assessing the relationship between the intensity, duration, and frequency (IDF) of extreme precipitation is required for the design of water management systems. However, when modeling sub-daily precipitation extremes, there are commonly only short observation time series available. This problem can be overcome by applying the duration-dependent formulation of the generalized extreme value (GEV) distribution which fits an IDF model with a range of durations simultaneously. The originally proposed duration-dependent GEV model exhibits a power-law-like behavior of the quantiles and takes care of a deviation from this scaling relation (curvature) for sub-hourly durations (Koutsoyiannis et al., 1998). We suggest that a more flexible model might be required to model a wide range of durations (1 min to 5 d). Therefore, we extend the model with the following two features: (i) different slopes for different quantiles (multiscaling) and (ii) the deviation from the power law for large durations (flattening), which is newly introduced in this study. Based on the quantile skill score, we investigate the performance of the resulting flexible model with respect to the benefit of the individual features (curvature, multiscaling, and flattening) with simulated and empirical data. We provide detailed information on the duration and probability ranges for which specific features or a systematic combination of features leads to improvements for stations in a case study area in the Wupper catchment (Germany). Our results show that allowing curvature or multiscaling improves the model only for very short or long durations, respectively, but leads to disadvantages in modeling the other duration ranges. In contrast, allowing flattening on average leads to an improvement for medium durations between 1 h and 1 d, without affecting other duration regimes. Overall, the new parametric form offers a flexible and enhanced performance model for consistently describing IDF relations over a wide range of durations, which has not been done before as most existing studies focus on durations longer than 1 h or day and do not address the deviation from the power law for very long durations (2–5 d).

description: A new algorithmic approach to personality prototyping based on Big Five traits was applied to a large representative and longitudinal German dataset (N = 22,820) including behavior, personality and health correlates. We applied three different clustering techniques, latent profile analysis, the k-means method and spectral clustering algorithms. The resulting cluster centers, i.e. the personality prototypes, were evaluated using a large number of internal and external validity criteria including health, locus of control, self-esteem, impulsivity, risk-taking and wellbeing. The best-fitting prototypical personality profiles were labeled according to their Euclidean distances to averaged personality type profiles identified in a review of previous studies on personality types. This procedure yielded a five-cluster solution: resilient, overcontroller, undercontroller, reserved and vulnerable-resilient. Reliability and construct validity could be confirmed. We discuss wether personality types could comprise a bridge between personality and clinical psychology as well as between developmental psychology and resilience research.

description: The cost of human movement, whether expressed in time, effort, or distance, is a function of natural and human related variables. At the same time, human movement itself, whether on land, air or sea, causes environmental cost. We are looking into the long-term environmental relationship of this interplay. Gullies-linear landforms, which dissect the landscape-are considered to be a cost for human movement, as they can form unpassable barriers destroying present path networks. On the other hand, human movement creates pathways, which flatten the surface and decrease the water permeability potential. This process results in runoff generation and possibly gully erosion. Accordingly, the spatial relationship between pathways and gullies is investigated. In the Tigray region of the Northern Ethiopian Highlands, gullies and pathways were mapped using remote sensing data. Frequency Ratio was used for assessing pathways as a variable affecting the location of gullies while Least Cost Paths were tested to evaluate the possible constraining impact gullies have on mobility. Based on these results, it is concluded that a positive feedback exists between the cost of human movement and gully erosion. We further discuss possible effects gullies may have had on trade, territory, and political affairs in Tigray. Consequently, we suggest that movement cost and gullying may not only hold strictly environmental or movement-related implications, but also socio-cultural ones.

description: This chapter reviews the growing body of research in economics which concentrates on the education gender gap and its evolution, over time and across countries. The survey first focuses on gender differentials in the historical period that roughly goes from 1850 to the 1940s and documents the deep determinants of the early phase of female education expansion, including preindustrial conditions, religion, and family and kinship patterns. Next, the survey describes the stylized facts of contemporaneous gender gaps in education, from the 1950s to the present day, accounting for several alternative measures of attainment and achievement and for geographic and temporal differentiations. The determinants of the gaps are then summarized, while keeping a strong emphasis on an historical perspective and disentangling factors related to the labor market, family formation, psychological elements, and societal cultural norms. A discussion follows of the implications of the education gender gap for multiple realms, from economic growth to family life, taking into account the potential for reverse causation. Special attention is devoted to the persistency of gender gaps in the STEM and economics fields.

description: Background Digital mental health interventions for smartphones, such as the World Health Organization (WHO) Step-by-Step (SbS) program, are potentially scalable solutions to improve access to mental health and psychosocial support in refugee populations. Our study objective was to evaluate the effectiveness of SbS as self-guided intervention with optional message-based contact-on-demand (COD) support on reducing psychological distress, functional impairment, symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and self-identified problems in a sample of Syrian refugees residing in Egypt. Methods and findings We conducted a 2-arm pragmatic randomized controlled trial. A total of 538 Syrians residing in Egypt with elevated levels of psychological distress (Kessler Psychological Distress Scale; K10 > 15) and reduced psychosocial functioning (WHODAS 2.0 > 16) were randomized into SbS + CAU (N = 266) or CAU only (N = 272). Primary outcomes were psychological distress (Hopkins Symptom Checklist 25) and impaired functioning (WHO Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0) at 3-month follow-up. Secondary outcomes were symptoms of PTSD (PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 short form, PCL-5 short) and self-identified problems (Psychological Outcomes Profiles Scale, PSYCHLOPS). Intention-to-treat (ITT) analyses showed significant but small effects of condition on psychological distress (mean difference: −0.15; 95% CI: −0.28, −0.02; p = .02) and functioning (mean difference: −2.04; 95% CI: −3.87, −0.22; p = .02) at 3-month follow-up. There were no significant differences between groups on symptoms of PTSD and self-identified problems. Remission rates did not differ between conditions on any of the outcomes. COD was used by 9.4% of participants for a median of 1 contact per person. The main limitations are high intervention dropout and low utilization of COD support. Conclusions The trial provides a real-world implementation case, showing small positive effects of a digital, potentially scalable and self-guided mental health intervention for Syrian refugees in Egypt in reducing psychological distress and improving overall functioning. Further user-centered adaptations are required to improve adherence and effectiveness while maintaining scalability.

description: Abstract

Assessment, including self-assessment, provides a rich scaffolding for the growth and improvement of students. The study evaluated whether there is evidence of development in the three dimensions of student engagement as influenced by self-assessment. Forty-eight students of a private university in the Philippines who were enrolled in a general mathematics course were the participants of the study. The participants underwent a self-assessment scheme by including weekly narrative self-assessment journals, assessment checklists, and student portfolios in the instruction. Levels of student engagement were gauged using a student engagement scale in a pre-test and post-test design. The comparison outcomes showed varying levels of engagement in the affective, cognitive, and behavioral dimensions. Also, the results suggest evidence of the effectiveness of self-assessment in improving student engagement on the three dimensions of engagement. Contents of the student reflections in the study have further proven the usefulness of self-assessment activities in the mathematics learning experience.

description: Synopsis: A substantial proportion of what is discoverable about the structure of many Aboriginal languages spoken on the vast Australian continent before their decimation through colonial invasion is contained in nineteenth-century grammars. Many were written by fervent young missionaries who traversed the globe intent on describing the languages spoken by “heathens”, whom they hoped to convert to Christianity. Some of these documents, written before Australian or international academic institutions expressed any interest in Aboriginal languages, are the sole record of some of the hundreds of languages spoken by the first Australians, and many are the most comprehensive. These grammars resulted from prolonged engagement and exchange across a cultural and linguistic divide that is atypical of other early encounters between colonised and colonisers in Australia. Although the Aboriginal contributors to the grammars are frequently unacknowledged and unnamed, their agency is incontrovertible. This history of the early description of Australian Aboriginal languages traces a developing understanding and ability to describe Australian morphosyntax. Focus on grammatical structures that challenged the classically trained missionary-grammarians – the description of the case systems, ergativity, bound pronouns, and processes of clause subordination – identifies the provenance of analyses, development of descriptive techniques, and paths of intellectual descent. The corpus of early grammatical description written between 1834 and 1910 is identified in Chapter 1. Chapter 2 discusses the philological methodology of retrieving data from these grammars. Chapters 3–10 consider the grammars in an order determined both by chronology and by the region in which the languages were spoken, since colonial borders regulated the development of the three schools of descriptive practice that are found to have developed in the pre-academic era of Australian linguistic description.

description: Synopsis: In 1826, as nationalism first began percolating through the Habsburg lands, Jan Herkel published a Latin-language Slavic grammar. Herkel, a lawyer and amateur linguist, came from the northern counties the Kingdom of Hungary which now form the Slovak Republic. Though he was inspired by a romantic love of his native language, Herkel imagined a single "Slavic language," divided into various "dialects." He proposed a single grammar for the whole Slavic world, attempting to encompass and yet restrain the diversity of orthography, morphology, phonology, and so forth found across Slavic varieties. Herkel was also the coiner of the term "panslavism", which he used to describe his efforts. This book provides the first English translation of Herkel's noteworthy grammar, with short notes. The book also contains a preface and explanatory essays by co-translators Raf Van Rooy and Alexander Maxwell. The preface introduces the topic of the book. Maxwell then gives a biography of Herkel, discusses linguistic nationalism in Slavic northern Hungary, and the legacy of panslavism. Van Rooy explores Herkel's key notion of the "genius" of the Slavic language as the legacy of early modern linguistic thought.

description: In this study, the adsorption behavior of amitrole on acid activated clay (AC) was investigated using a spectrophotometric method to obtain information on the color removal. The adsorption of amitrole from aqueous solutions by AC has been performed using a batch-adsorption technique. The effect of various experimental parameters, such as initial concentration of pesticide, contact time, temperature and pH on the adsorption process, were investigated. Original pH at the beginning was 5. It was observed that the adsorption percentage of amitrole on AC remained practically constant with increasing temperature and contact time of around 3h was sufficient to reach the equilibrium for all temperature. Temkin and Harkins Jura adsorption models were applied to describe the equilibrium isotherms and the isotherm constants were calculated.  It was found that the data fitted Temkin adsorption model better than Harkins Jura adsorption model. The present study showed that the AC, abundant low-cost clay (C), can be used as sorbent for the removal of amitrole from aqueous solutions.

description: Any catalyst should be efficient and stable to be implemented in practice. This requirement is particularly valid for manganese hydrogenation catalysts. While representing a more sustainable alternative to conventional noble metal-based systems, manganese hydrogenation catalysts are prone to degrade under catalytic conditions once operation temperatures are high. Herein, we report a highly efficient Mn(I)-CNP pre-catalyst which gives rise to the excellent productivity (TOF° up to 41 000 h−1) and stability (TON up to 200 000) in hydrogenation catalysis. This system enables near-quantitative hydrogenation of ketones, imines, aldehydes and formate esters at the catalyst loadings as low as 5–200 p.p.m. Our analysis points to the crucial role of the catalyst activation step for the catalytic performance and stability of the system. While conventional activation employing alkoxide bases can ultimately provide catalytically competent species under hydrogen atmosphere, activation of Mn(I) pre-catalyst with hydride donor promoters, e.g. KHBEt3, dramatically improves catalytic performance of the system and eliminates induction times associated with slow catalyst activation.
