description: Analysiert wird die Verbreitung der körperlichen und sportlichen Aktivität in der erwachsenen Bevölkerung Deutschlands. Die Datenbasis wird durch die Studie „Gesundheit in Deutschland aktuell 2009“ gebildet, für die vom Robert Koch-Institut im Zeitraum von Juli 2008 bis Juni 2009 insgesamt 21.262 Telefoninterviews durchgeführt wurden. Demnach sind 56% der 18-jährigen und älteren Männer und 38% der gleichaltrigen Frauen mindestens 2,5 Stunden pro Woche so aktiv, dass sie dabei ins Schwitzen oder außer Atem geraten. Dass sie in den letzten drei Monaten Sport getrieben haben, trifft den Selbstangaben zufolge auf jeweils 64% der Männer und Frauen zu. Im Vergleich zu den Jahren 1998 und 2003 zeigt sich, dass die Sportbeteiligung bei Männern und Frauen in allen Altersgruppen zugenommen hat. Darüber hinaus sind statusspezifische Unterschiede zu beobachten, bei der körperlichen Aktivität zuungunsten der hohen Statusgruppen, bei der sportlichen Aktivität zuungunsten der niedrigen Statusgruppen. Ansatzpunkte für bewegungs- und sportfördernde Maßnahmen ergeben sich insbesondere in Bezug auf Personen, die an keinem Tag in der Woche körperlich aktiv sind (19% der Männer und 26% der Frauen) und keinen Sport treiben (jeweils 36% der Männer und Frauen).
description: The study analyses the distribution of physical and sporting activity among the adult population in Germany. The data came from the “German Health Update 2009” survey, which is based on 21,262 telephone interviews conducted by the Robert Koch Institute between July 2008 and June 2009. The study shows that 56% of men aged 18 and over and 38% of women in the same age group engaged in physical activity with an intensity that made them sweat or be out of breath for at least 2.5 h/week. In addition, 64% of both men and women stated that they had actively engaged in sporting activities over the previous 3 months. Comparing 1998 and 2003, participation in sport was observed to have increased among men and women in all age groups over time. Furthermore, socio-economic differences were observed, indicating lower physical activity among higher-status groups and lower sporting activity among lower-status groups. Measures to promote physical activity and sport prove to be especially necessary for people who are not physically active (19% of men and 26% of women) or who do not engage in sport at all (36% of both men and women).

description: The desire to produce a learning environment which promotes student motivation, collaboration, and higher order thinking is common within the higher education system of today. Such learning environments also have the ability to address challenges’ Mechanical Engineering Technology (MET) students face entering the workforce. Through the vertical and horizontal integration of courses, this research presents how a scaffolded learning environment with a centralized theme of energy can increase motivation and conceptual retention within students. The integration of courses allows students to systematically translate their competency of concepts between energy based courses through experiential learning. The goal of this work is to develop a competency based learning model where students earn a professionally recognizable credential. The credential is earned through demonstrating their mastery of industry desired skills at a level that goes above and beyond the stock curriculum. The result is a more continuous curriculum that enhances multi-disciplinary problem solving while better preparing MET students for the workforce.

description: Background: Adolescence is an important life stage for the development of dietary preferences and health behaviour. Longitudinal studies indicated that cardiovascular status in adolescence predicts cardiovascular risk marker values in adulthood. Several diet quality indices for adolescents have been developed in the past, but literature concerning associations between indices and biomarkers of dietary exposure and cardiovascular status is rather sparse. Hence, the aim of this study was to analyse associations of dietary indices with biomarkers of dietary exposure and cardiovascular status. Methods: For the present analysis, data from the German Health Interview and Examination Survey for Children and Adolescents (KiGGS 2003–2006) were used. The analysis included 5,198 adolescents, aged 12 to 17 years. The Healthy Food Diversity Index (HFD), the Healthy Nutrition Score for Kids and Youth (HuSKY), the Indicator Food Index (IFI) and a simple fruit/vegetable intake index were derived from food frequency questionnaire information to indicate a healthy diet. Adjusted mean values for homocysteine, uric acid, CRP, total cholesterol, HDL-C, ferritin, HbA1c, folate, vitamin B12 and BMI were calculated using complex-samples general linear models for quintiles of the different indices. Furthermore, the agreement in ranking between the different indices was calculated by weighted kappa. All statistical analyses were conducted for boys and girls separately, and were adjusted for potential confounders. Results: Folate was positively associated with the HFD, the HuSKY, and fruit/vegetable intake for both boys and girls and with IFI for boys. Among girls, positive associations were seen between vitamin B12 and the IFI and between diastolic blood pressure and the IFI as well as fruit/vegetable intake. A negative association was found between homocysteine and the HFD, the HuSKY, and the IFI for both boys and girls and with fruit/vegetable intake for boys. Among boys, uric acid and HbA1c were negatively and prevalence of obesity positively associated with the IFI. Conclusions: Overall, the indices, even the simpler ones, seem to have a similar general capability in predicting biomarkers of dietary exposure. To predict risk of cardiovascular disease dietary indices may have to be more specific.

description: The transmembrane envelope protein gp41 of the human immunodeficiency virus HIV-1 plays an important role during infection allowing fusion of the viral and cellular membrane. In addition, there is increasing evidence that gp41 may contribute to the immunodeficiency induced by HIV-1. Recombinant gp41 and a synthetic peptide corresponding to a highly conserved domain in gp41, the immunosuppressive (isu) domain, have been shown to inhibit mitogen-induced activation of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and to increase release of IL-6 and IL-10 from these cells. We recently reported that a single mutation in the isu domain of gp41 abrogated the immunosuppressive properties and that HIV-1 sequences containing such abrogating mutations had never been isolated from infected individuals. Here, we studied the influence of the isu peptide on the release of 66 cytokines and the expression of 27,000 genes in PBMCs. Incubation of PBMCs with isu peptide homopolymers increased the expression of 16 cytokines among them IL-6 and IL-10, and decreased that of IL-2 and CXCL9. Interestingly, the extend of cytokine modulation was donor-dependent. Among the genes up-regulated were IL-6, IL-8, IL-10 but also MMP-1, TREM-1 and IL-1beta. Most importantly, genes involved in innate immunity such as FCN1 and SEPP1 were found down-regulated. Many changes in cytokine expression demonstrated in our experiments were also found in HIV-1 infected individuals. These data indicate that the isu domain of gp41 has a broad impact on gene expression and cytokine release and therefore may be involved in HIV-1 induced immunopathogenesis.

description: Manual function is a key determinant of functional independence. It is well known that manual dexterity declines with aging and negatively impacts quality of life. Therefore, much work has focused on understanding the biomechanics and motor control of manual function in general, and the action of the fingers in particular. Previous research has revealed consistent patterns of interdependence in the action of the fingers that (1) alter with age, and (2) have consequences for manual control, and thereby manual function. Most of this previous work on finger behavior quantifies finger capacities and interactions in terms of maximal forces. However, activities of daily living likely require individuals to rapidly change forces more frequently than produce maximal forces. Therefore, the present work quantifies, for the first time, finger capacities and interactions during rapid increase and decrease in finger forces, and how these quantities change with age.
Young and older adults performed maximal force production tasks and also tasks that required them to rapidly increase or decrease finger forces from three initial force levels using multiple combinations of the fingers of their dominant hand. The maximal finger forces and force rates, and the interdependence of the fingers (enslaving, individuation, sharing, and deficit) during both behaviors are reported in detail. Overall, similarities in finger behavior patterns obtained from maximal force and maximal force rates were observed. However, some differences are also noted, and novel findings (especially, comparison between force increase and decrease) are reported. Finally, future work that may lead to clinical applications is discussed.

description: In 2007, a European survey identified variation in country policies on public health management of invasive meningococcal disease (IMD). In 2009–10, the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) published evidence-based guidance on IMD. We therefore surveyed again European countries to describe policies for managing IMD cases and contacts in 2013. We asked national IMD public health experts from 32 European countries to complete a questionnaire focusing on post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) for IMD contacts and meningococcal vaccination. Proportions in 2007 and 2013 were compared using the chi-squared test. All 32 countries responded, with responses from two regions for Belgium and Italy; half stated having used ECDC guidance to update national recommendations. PEP was recommended to close contacts in 33 of 34 countries/regions, mainly ciprofloxacin for adults (29/32 countries) and rifampicin for children (29/32 countries). ECDC guidance for managing IMD contacts in airplanes was strictly followed by five countries/regions. Twenty-three countries/regions participated in both surveys. Compared with 2007, in 2013, more countries/regions recommended i) ceftriaxone for children (15/23 vs 6/20; p = 0.03), ii) PEP for all children in the same preschool group (8/23 vs 17/23; p = 0.02). More countries/regions recommended evidence-based measures for IMD public health management in 2013 than 2007. However, some discrepancies remain and they call for further harmonisation.

description: Ceftaroline is a new cephalosporin active against Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Based on a representative collection of clinical S. aureus isolates from Germany, supplemented with isolates of clonal lineages ST228 and ST239, we demonstrate the in-vitro susceptibility towards ceftaroline prior to its introduction into clinical use for a total of 219 isolates. Susceptibility testing was performed by broth microdilution, disc diffusion and Etest, respectively. Results were interpreted according to EUCAST guidelines and showed considerable variance in dependence on clonal affiliation of the isolates tested. Among isolates of widespread hospital-associated lineages we found a high proportion of clinical isolates with MICs close to the EUCAST breakpoint (MIC50/90 1.0/1.5 mg/L); currently, interpretation of these “borderline” MICs is complicated by a lack of concordant susceptibility testing methods and reasonable breakpoint determination. Isolates of clonal lineages ST228 and ST239 demonstrated increased MIC50/90 values of 2.5/3.33 mg/L. Sequencing of mecA revealed no association of resistance to a specific mecA polymorphism, but rather reveals two regions in the non-penicillin-binding domain of PbP2a which displayed different combinations of mutations putatively involved in resistance development. This study provides national baseline data to (i) adjust susceptibility testing methods and current breakpoints to clinical and epidemiological requirements, (ii) evaluate current breakpoints with respect to therapeutic outcome and (iii) monitor further resistance evolution.
Review of Margaret Hillenbrand. Negative Exposures: Knowing What Not to Know in Contemporary China. Chinese Literature Today 9.2 (2020): 89-90

description: Western observers often attribute Chinese suppression of undesirable information to state crackdowns on dissidents, pervasive censorship apparatus, and even self-censorship. For contemporary Chinese citizens under a certain age, Tiananmen Square protests allegedly did not happen. The PRC leadership’s private lives are shrouded in secrecies, mythologizing their larger-than-life images. The Cultural Revolution and the Nanjing Massacre are re-membered only in grand, jingoistic narratives endorsed by the state. In this thought-provocative book on photography, Margaret Hillenbrand argues that “public secrecy”—collective knowledge of what not to know—is a more powerful force than censorship. Public secrecy structures and sustains permissible histories of China. The paradox here lies in the shared nature of this knowledge. It is widely known—but not spoken of—among contemporary Chinese that these versions of China’s recent history are distorted—in the form of “public secrecy” (7), and that knowledge is important for survival.

description: Sepsis is a frequent cause of death in very-low-birthweight infants and often results in neurological impairment. Its attributable risk of sequelae has not been systematically assessed. To establish an outcome tree for mapping the burden of neonatal sepsis, we performed systematic literature searches to identify systematic reviews addressing sequelae of neonatal sepsis. We included cohort studies and performed meta-analyses of attributable risks. Evidence quality was assessed using GRADE. Two systematic reviews met inclusion criteria. The first included nine cohort studies with 5,620 participants and five outcomes (neurodevelopmental impairment, cerebral palsy, vision impairment, hearing impairment, death). Pooled risk differences varied between 4% (95% confidence interval (CI):2–10) and 13% (95% CI:5–20). From the second review we analysed four studies with 472 infants. Positive predictive value of neurodevelopmental impairment for later cognitive impairment ranged between 67% (95% CI:22–96) and 83% (95% CI:36–100). Neonatal sepsis increases risk of permanent neurological impairment. Effect size varies by outcome, with evidence quality being low to very low. Data were used to construct an outcome tree for neonatal sepsis. Attributable risk estimates for sequelae following neonatal sepsis are suitable for burden estimation and may serve as outcome parameters in interventional studies.

description: Quick and accurate segmentation and object detection of the biomedical image is the starting point of most disease analysis and understanding of biological processes in medical research. It will enhance drug development and advance medical treatment, especially in cancer-related diseases. However, identifying the objects in the CT or MRI images and labeling them usually takes time even for an experienced person. Currently, there is no automatic detection technique for nucleus identification, pneumonia detection, and fetus brain segmentation. Fortunately, as the successful application of artificial intelligence (AI) in image processing, many challenging tasks are easily solved with deep convolutional neural networks. In light of this, in this thesis, the deep learning based object detection and segmentation methods were implemented to perform the nucleus segmentation, lung segmentation, pneumonia detection, and fetus brain segmentation. The semantic segmentation is achieved by the customized U-Net model, and the instance localization is achieved by Faster R-CNN. The reason we choose U-Net is that such a network can be trained end-to-end, which means the architecture of this network is very simple, straightforward and fast to train. Besides, for this project, the availability of the dataset is limited, which makes U-Net a more suitable choice. We also implemented the Faster R-CNN to achieve the object localization. Finally, we evaluated the performance of the two models and further compared the pros and cons of them. The preliminary results show that deep learning based technique outperforms all existing traditional segmentation algorithms.

description: Hintergrund: Die Prävalenz von nichtdialysepflichtigen Nierenfunktionsstörungen bei Erwachsenen in Deutschland ist unbekannt. Ihre Kenntnis ist wichtig zur Abschätzung des Versorgungsbedarfs mit Nierenersatztherapien und von ungenutztem Präventionspotenzial. Auch ist die eingeschränkte Nierenfunktion ein wichtiger kardiovaskulärer Risikofaktor. Bisher wurden US-amerikanische Prävalenzschätzungen trotz begrenzter Vergleichbarkeit häufig auf Deutschland übertragen. Methoden: Ausgewertet wurden Daten zur Nierenfunktion aus der bundesweiten „Studie zur Gesundheit Erwachsener in Deutschland 2008–2011 (DEGS1)“ des Robert Koch-Instituts. Hierzu erfolgte eine Schätzung der glomerulären Filtrationsrate (eGFR) aus Serumkreatinin und Cystatin-C (CKD-EPI-Formel) sowie eine semiquantitative Albuminurie-Bestimmung. Zusammenhänge zwischen einer eingeschränkten Nierenfunktion und möglichen Determinanten wurden mittels adjustierter Prävalenzverhältnisse (PR) und 95-%-Konfidenzintervallen (95-%-KI) quantifiziert. Ergebnisse: Etwa 2,3 % (95-%-KI: [1,9; 2,6 ]) der Menschen im Alter von 18–79 Jahren wiesen eine eGFR < 60 mL/min/1,73 m2 auf. Mit zunehmendem Alter stieg die Prävalenz. Bei konservativer Extrapolation auf die hier nicht untersuchten Probanden > 80 Jahre sind bundesweit mindestens 2 Millionen Menschen in Deutschland betroffen. Eine Albuminurie ≥ 30 mg/L weisen 11,5 % der Bevölkerung auf. Diabetes mellitus (PR = 2,25, 95-%-KI: [1,59; 3,16]) und arterielle Hypertonie (PR = 3,46, 95-%-KI: [1,95; 6,12]) sind wichtige Determinanten. Schlussfolgerungen: Erstmals liegt mit diesen Daten eine repräsentative Schätzung der Häufigkeit von Nierenfunktionsstörungen in Deutschland vor. Sie zeigt eine starke Altersabhängigkeit, ist jedoch niedriger, als sie auf der Basis US-amerikanischer Daten für Deutschland bislang angenommen wurde.

description: Background: Monitoring of serum lipid concentrations at the population level is an important public health tool to describe progress in cardiovascular disease risk control and prevention. Using data from two nationally representative health surveys of adults 18–79 years, this study identified changes in mean serum total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and triglycerides (TG) in relation to changes in potential determinants of serum lipids between 1997–99 and 2008–11 in Germany. Methods: Sex-specific multivariable linear regression analyses were performed with serum lipids as dependent variables and survey wave as independent variable and adjusted for the following covariables: age, fasting duration, educational status, lifestyle, and use of medication. Results: Mean TC declined between the two survey periods by 13 % (5.97 mmol/l vs. 5.19 mmol/l) among men and by 12 % (6.03 mmol/l vs. 5.30 mmol/l) among women. Geometric mean TG decreased by 14 % (1.66 mmol/l vs. 1.42 mmol/l) among men and by 8 % (1.20 mmol/l vs. 1.10 mmol/l) among women. Mean HDL-C remained unchanged among men (1.29 mmol/l vs. 1.27 mmol/l), but decreased by 5 % among women (1.66 mmol/l vs. 1.58 mmol/l). Sports activity and coffee consumption increased, while smoking and high alcohol consumption decreased only in men. Processed food consumption increased and wholegrain bread consumption decreased in both sexes, and obesity increased among men. The use of lipid-lowering medication, in particular statins nearly doubled over time in both sexes. Among women, hormonal contraceptive use increased and postmenopausal hormone therapy halved over time. The changes in lipid levels between surveys remained significant after adjusting for covariables. Conclusion: Serum TC and TG considerably declined over one decade in Germany, which can be partly explained by increased use of lipid-lowering medication and improved lifestyle among men. The decline in serum lipids among women, however, remains unexplained.
Profiling Psychopathology in a Unique Population Chronically Ill Adults: A Dimensional Approach

Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School

Subjects: Clinical psychology

description: The internalizing and externalizing dimensions of psychopathology have been shown to effectively identify groups that are at higher risk for experiencing certain forms of psychopathology. Many studies have shown that chronic physical health conditions are a risk factor for psychological distress, yet there has been very little research examining the association between chronic physical health conditions and dimensional models of psychopathology to date. In the present study we examined the factor structure of internalizing and externalizing symptoms in a sample of adults with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS; n =172) and in a sample of adults without any chronic illness diagnoses (n = 199). Confirmatory factor analyses suggested that psychological distress in individuals with POTS can be effectively characterized by an internalizing dimension composed of distress and fear subcomponents as well as an externalizing dimension. Tests of measurement invariance allowed for the examination of latent means, which showed that individuals with POTS tend to have higher scores on the internalizing dimension and lower scores on the externalizing dimension than healthy controls. Regression analyses suggested that within the sample of people with POTS, those who were more accepting of their illness and had higher health related quality of life tended to have lower scores on the internalizing dimension. Findings suggest that individuals with POTS are at heightened risk for experiencing internalizing symptoms of psychopathology. A dimensional conceptualization of psychopathology seems like an effective way to identify symptoms of psychopathology that are separate from symptoms of autonomic nervous system dysfunction.

description: En la década de 1990, el concepto 'intermedialidad' puso en contacto distintas disciplinas académicas (estudios literarios, estudios mediáticos, sociología, estudios cinematográficos e historia del arte) desde la intención por encarar y mejor comprender el ambiente cultural visual/escrito/auditivo que caracterizó los comienzos del siglo XX. Conectando a los escritores con las nuevas tecnologías que caracterizaron la ciudad moderna, este artículo afronta en qué medida cuánto la novela _Cinematógrafo_ (1936) de Andrés Carranque de Ríos reflejó tal preocupación. El artículo estudia el impacto del cine tanto en la forma como en el contenido de la novela a la vez que tiende lazos con otros textos de la época que recrearon similares imaginarios urbanos. Y aunque _Cinematógrafo_ centró su trama en el Madrid de los años 20, la pretensión del artículo es valorar aquella desde experiencias similares llevadas a término en otros países por otros autores.

description: Xenotransplantation from pigs could alleviate the shortage of human tissues and organs for transplantation. Means have been identified to overcome hyperacute rejection and acute vascular rejection mechanisms mounted by the recipient. The challenge is to combine multiple genetic modifications to enable normal animal breeding and meet the demand for transplants. We used two methods to colocate xenoprotective transgenes at one locus, sequential targeted transgene placement - ‘gene stacking’, and cointegration of multiple engineered large vectors - ‘combineering’, to generate pigs carrying modifications considered necessary to inhibit short to mid-term xenograft rejection. Pigs were generated by serial nuclear transfer and analysed at intermediate stages. Human complement inhibitors CD46, CD55 and CD59 were abundantly expressed in all tissues examined, human HO1 and human A20 were widely expressed. ZFN or CRISPR/Cas9 mediated homozygous GGTA1 and CMAH knockout abolished α-Gal and Neu5Gc epitopes. Cells from multi-transgenic piglets showed complete protection against human complement-mediated lysis, even before GGTA1 knockout. Blockade of endothelial activation reduced TNFα-induced E-selectin expression, IFNγ-induced MHC class-II upregulation and TNFα/cycloheximide caspase induction. Microbial analysis found no PERV-C, PCMV or 13 other infectious agents. These animals are a major advance towards clinical porcine xenotransplantation and demonstrate that livestock engineering has come of age.

description: When confined to a finite, two-dimensional area and exposed to a strong magnetic field, electrons exhibit a complicated, highly correlated quantum behavior known as the quantum Hall effect. This dissertation consists of finite size numerical investigations of this effect. One line of study develops treatment of the fractional quantum Hall effect using the hyperspherical method, in conjunction with applications to the few-body quantum Hall systems, e.g., highly-controlled atomic systems. Another line of research fully utilizes the developed numerical techniques to study on the platform of finite size fractional quantum Hall states the bulk-edge correspondence principle, which is universal for phases in topological orders. It has been demonstrated that the eigenstates associated with the entanglement spectrum reveal more information about the ground state than the spectrum alone.

description: Until the mid-nineteenth century, "physiology" was a comprehensive theory of life, expounded and shaped by Johannes P. Müller (1801–1858). Biologists and medical doctors still refer to him today. In the summer term of 1851, Müller gave a lecture on the Comparative Anatomy of animals. This lecture was attended and recorded by Ernst Zeller (1830–1902), a future physician and zoologist, and has recently been published together with a German transcript. In this paper, we situate Johannes Müller within the intellectual history of his time. Through his "empirical idealism," we show how he opposed the speculative tendencies of the romantic understanding of nature, the emerging evolutionism, and the growing splits in the natural sciences. Müller focused on recognizing living nature as a whole and realizing ideal "phenomena" through his empirical research. He considered the notion of the soul of the world. Müller's lecture transcript serves as a poignant testament to German scientific culture in the mid-nineteenth century, a few years before the publication of Darwin's Origin of Species. It also provides valuable insights into the self-contained epistemological foundations of morphology.

description: Shortages of skilled workers and special expertise in the crafts and trades hamper the implementation of low-carbon transitions in many countries. However, research on effective governance arrangements targeting this ‘installation bottleneck’ is limited. To fill this gap, we adopt a Middle-Out Perspective (MOP) and use rich qualitative data including in-depth interviews to study the role of craft guilds within Germany's low-carbon transition, particularly in rooftop photovoltaic and heat pump installation. Our analysis demonstrates that guilds occupy pivotal ‘upper middle actor’ positions to resolve the ‘installation bottleneck’ from the middle-out. Situated between policymaking and on-the-ground installation, guilds have unique agency and capacity qualities deriving from preferential access to the local implementers of low-carbon transitions and legal commissions with critical tasks including training, informing, and associating installers. However, we find that guilds suffer from resource constraints, membership declines, and a lack of deliberate activation. Informal power structures and deficits of change makers exacerbate guilds’ propensity for inertia while unstable framework conditions and the dearth of strategic engagements leave guilds inactivated. Our extended MOP framework of agency, capacity , and propensity allows researchers and policymakers to attend to potentials and trade-offs between these qualities. By recognising the contextual social sphere of installation as potential, policymakers can design more effective implementation strategies that gain people’s support by ‘meeting them where they are’.

description: Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in early 2022, more than one million refugees have arrived in Germany. These Ukrainian refugees differ in many aspects from Germany’s past forced migration experiences and there exists an urgent need for sound data and information for politics, practitioners, and academics. In response, the IAB-BiB/FReDA-BAMF-SOEP study was established to provide high-quality longitudinal data following a register-based probability sample. We detail on an approach for sampling refugees in brief time, making use of two different registers—the German population register and the central register of foreigners—and discuss the quality of the final sample with respect to potential selectivity of participation in the panel. Overall, we demonstrate the benefits and feasibility of establishing register-based samples even in the context of a geopolitical crisis and the necessity of sound data within brief time horizons. We provide guidance that can be followed for similar events in the future.
