description: Die vorliegende Diplomarbeit beschäftigt sich in erster Linie mit jenen Bestimmungsgründen, die über die Teilnahme oder Nichtteilnahme an Wahlen entscheiden. Wir widmen uns dazu zuerst einer Bestandaufnahme etablierter Erklärungsmuster des Wahlverhaltens bzw. der Wahlenthaltung, bevor wir diese zu einem Analyseschema zusammenfassen, das das Phänomen der Wahlenthaltung auf institutioneller, struktureller und individueller Ebene untersuchbar machen und die folgenden empirischen Betrachtungen analytisch leiten soll. In einem weiteren Schritt wird so das erarbeitete Schema auf das konkrete Beispiel der Wiener Gemeinderatswahlen angewandt und es werden die entscheidenden Faktoren für das Absinken der Wahlbeteiligung im Zeitraum von 1954 – 2001 herausgearbeitet. Abschließend beschäftigen wir uns außerdem mit den aus der Veränderung der Beteiligungsraten resultierenden Auswirkungen auf Parteien, politisches System und Gesellschaft.

description: Bereits in den 1960er Jahren wurde das Konzept vorgestellt, einen pharmazeutischen Wirkstoff in partikuläre Arzneistoffträger aus Polymeren oder makromolekularen Stoffen einzubringen. Es besteht jedoch bis heute ein ungemindertes Interesse an der Entwicklung solcher Drug-Delivery-Systemen, da sie entscheidende Vorteile mit sich bringen. Empfindliche Arzneistoffe, wie zum Beispiel Peptide oder Proteine, können durch Einschließen in Transportvehikel vor der proteolytischen Zersetzung im Körper, vorzeitiger Ausscheidung über den renalen Weg und Inaktivierung durch das Immunsystem beschützt werden. Eine vielversprechende Entwicklung auf diesem Gebiet sind Mikro- und Nanopartikel aus dem biokompatiblen und biologisch abbaubaren Copolymer Poly(lactid-co-glycolid) kurz PLGA. Allerdings sehen sich auch derartige Arzneistoffträger mit den Abwehrmechanismen des Körpers konfrontiert. In der Regel werden sie rasch durch Zellen des Retikuloendothelialen Systems (RES) aus dem Körper entfernt. Unter den zahlreichen Ansätzden diesen Vorgang zu umgehen, sticht besonders die Oberflächenmodifikation mit dem hydrophilen, nichtionischen Polymer Polyethylenglykol(PEG) hervor. Es ist bereits bekannt, dass eine Modifikation mit PEG das Ausmaß der Phagozytose durch RES-Zellen reduzieren kann und somit auf diese Weise langlebige Nano- und Mikropartikel hergestellt werden können. Im Rahmen dieser Diplomarbeit sollten Verbindungen zur Oberflächenmodifikation von PLGA-Nanopartikeln mit Polyethylenglykol synthetisiert werden.

description: The high‐temperature microstructural evolution and mechanical properties of two SiC‐based polymer‐derived ceramics with different Hf:Ta molar ratios are investigated using electron microscopy techniques and manipulated by nanoindentation. The as‐pyrolyzed ceramic powder consists of an amorphous Si(HfₓTa₁₋ₓ)C(N,O) structure (where x = 0.2, 0.7) with localized nanocrystalline transition metal carbides (TMCs). Subsequent application of the field‐assisted sintering technique (FAST) for high‐temperature consolidation results in a crystalline (HfₓTa₁₋ₓ)C/SiC ultra‐high temperature ceramic nanocomposite. The microstructure contains powder particle‐sized grains and sinter necks between the former powder particles. The powder particles consist of a β‐SiC matrix and small TMCs. Large TMCs are observed on the internal surfaces of former powder particles. This is due to the pulsed direct current and the resulting Joule heating that facilitates diffusion as well as oxygen impurities. Sinter necks of large β‐SiC grains form during the FAST process. The microstructural regions are assessed using high‐throughput nanoindentation. The hardness for SiC/(Hf₀.₇Ta₀.₃)C is measured on the formed grains and the sinter necks giving mean hardness values of about 27 and 37 GPa, respectively.

description: Background
Xyloglucan (XyG) is a ubiquitous and fundamental polysaccharide of plant cell walls. Due to its structural complexity, XyG requires a combination of backbone-cleaving and sidechain-debranching enzymes for complete deconstruction into its component monosaccharides. The soil saprophyte Cellvibrio japonicus has emerged as a genetically tractable model system to study biomass saccharification, in part due to its innate capacity to utilize a wide range of plant polysaccharides for growth. Whereas the downstream debranching enzymes of the xyloglucan utilization system of C. japonicus have been functionally characterized, the requisite backbone-cleaving endo-xyloglucanases were unresolved.

Results
Combined bioinformatic and transcriptomic analyses implicated three glycoside hydrolase family 5 subfamily 4 (GH5_4) members, with distinct modular organization, as potential keystone endo-xyloglucanases in C. japonicus. Detailed biochemical and enzymatic characterization of the GH5_4 modules of all three recombinant proteins confirmed particularly high specificities for the XyG polysaccharide versus a panel of other cell wall glycans, including mixed-linkage beta-glucan and cellulose. Moreover, product analysis demonstrated that all three enzymes generated XyG oligosaccharides required for subsequent saccharification by known exo-glycosidases. Crystallographic analysis of GH5D, which was the only GH5_4 member specifically and highly upregulated during growth on XyG, in free, product-complex, and active-site affinity-labelled forms revealed the molecular basis for the exquisite XyG specificity among these GH5_4 enzymes. Strikingly, exhaustive reverse-genetic analysis of all three GH5_4 members and a previously biochemically characterized GH74 member failed to reveal a growth defect, thereby indicating functional compensation in vivo, both among members of this cohort and by other, yet unidentified, xyloglucanases in C. japonicus. Our systems-based analysis indicates distinct substrate-sensing (GH74, GH5E, GH5F) and attack-mounting (GH5D) functions for the endo-xyloglucanases characterized here.

Conclusions
Through a multi-faceted, molecular systems-based approach, this study provides a new insight into the saccharification pathway of xyloglucan utilization system of C. japonicus. The detailed structural–functional characterization of three distinct GH5_4 endo-xyloglucanases will inform future bioinformatic predictions across species, and provides new CAZymes with defined specificity that may be harnessed in industrial and other biotechnological applications.

description: Diese Arbeit gibt einen Einblick in die historische Entwicklung der ethnologisch orientierten Ostasienforschung während der ersten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts. Im Mittelpunkt der vorliegenden Arbeit stehen der "Verein der Freunde asiatischer Kunst und Kultur" und seine Rolle bei der wissenschaftlichen Erforschung des historischen Verhältnisses zwischen dem Westen und dem Fernen Osten. Dieser Verein, dem zahlreiche Wissenschaftler der unterschiedlichsten akademischen Disziplinen angehörten, wurde 1925/26 gegründet und setzte seine Arbeit bis 1938 fort. Obgleich der Verein offiziell bis 1965 bestand, endeten alle Tätigkeiten nach 1938. Grund dafür war der große Verlust an Mitgliedern durch die Nürnberger Rassengesetze des Nazi-Regimes. Die Grundlage dieser Diplomarbeit ist eine Darstellung der Biographien der Mitglieder, welche dem Vorstand angehörten, sowie eine Analyse der jährlichen Berichte genannt "Wiener Beiträge zur Kunst- und Kulturgeschichte Asiens”. Alle weiteren Tätigkeiten und Berichte, die Organisation von Ausstellungen, die Realisierung von Führungen durch Ausstellungen dieses Vereins waren auch Gegenstand dieser Arbeit.

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit befasst sich mit dem österreichischen Vormärzschriftsteller Anton Johann Groß-Hoffinger (1808—1873), der unter dem Pseudonym „Hans Normann“ während der frühen 1830er Jahre im deutschen Exil als anti-habsburgischer Prosa- und Lyrikautor in Erscheinung trat. Der ideologische Wandel Groß-Hoffingers vom oppositionellen zum prohabsburgischen Schriftsteller, der sich ab 1835 in seinem Werk abzeichnet und durch seine Re-Emigration nach Österreich im Jahr 1837 endgültig besiegelt wird, ist der Ausgangspunkt dieser Arbeit. Der Suche nach Gründen, die diesen Seitenwechsel plausibel machen, entspricht ein doppeltes methodisches Verfahren: Auf biographischer Ebene werden die wichtigsten Stationen des deutschen Exils und der genaue Ablauf der Re-Emigration dokumentiert, auf literaturwissenschaftlicher Ebene werden die Schriften Groß-Hoffingers auf Grundlage formal-inhaltlicher Methoden analysiert. Die Ergebnisse der Untersuchung, sowohl der literarischen Texte als auch der biographischen Stationen, zeigen Groß-Hoffingers Abhängigkeit vom deutschen Buchmarkt und damit verbunden dessen finanziell prekäre Lage, die letztlich den Ausschlag zur Re-Emigration in die Donaumonarchie lieferte.

Sardinian Long-eared Bat
Plecotus sardus
French: Oreillard de Sardaigne / German: Sardinien-Langohr / Spanish: Orejudo de Cerdena
Taxonomy. Plecotus sardus Mucedda et al., 2002,
“interior of a cave at Lanaitto’s Valley, Oliena District, Nuoro Province, middle-east Sardinia, Italy (40°15'29"N, 9°29'13"E, 150 mas.l.).”
Previously treated within either P. austriacus or P. auritus, but recently elevated to species level based on morphological and molecular data. Monotypic.
Distribution. Sardinia.
Descriptive notes. Head-body c. 45 mm, tail ¢.b 1 mm, ear 37- 5-39 mm, hindfoot 6-7-7- 7 mm, forearm 41-1-42- 2 mm. Dorsal fur woolly (c. 10 mm long), brownish, with hairs tricolored (dark brown bases, then grayish, with dark brown tips); ventral fur whitish or pale brown, with bicolored hairs (dark brown and whitish). Ears pale brown; tragus distinctive compared to congeners, being large (over 18 mm) and broad (over 6 mm), dark brown at base and yellowish at tip. Muzzle narrow, with round gland under chin. Wings brown, inserting at base of toe. Thumbs large; claws and hindfoot have sticking hair. Calcar long (c. 18 mm) and slender, with small lobe at tip. Penis is almost cylindrical, unlike in the Brown Longeared Bat (P. auritus) and the Gray Long-eared Bat (P. austriacus); differs from the Alpine Long-eared Bat (P. macrobullaris) in baculum shape. P* is minute.
Habitat. Very little information. Of three reports, two were from karstic areas with forests nearby at medium elevations, the third being at the coastline. It is suspected that the species is a forest-dweller, foraging within woodlands, and roosting in caves.
Food and Feeding. No information.
Breeding. Only four maternity colonies are known with a total estimate of under 1000 breeding bats, but reproductive patterns remain poorly studied.
Activity patterns. No information.
Movements, Home range and Social organization. No movements have been reported.
Status and Conservation. Classified as Vulnerable on The IUCN Red List. Limited forest remains in Sardinia, while deforestation is increasing; the species may be at real risk of extinction in the near future. Also, roost visiting and disturbance may threaten potential roost sites.

description: Abstract

I dati su cui si basa la valutazione della ricerca sono segreti o protetti da proprietà intellettuale. La revisione paritaria è prevalentemente anonima. Mentre la scienza è progredita grazie al dialogo pubblico, gli attuali sistemi di valutazione si basano sul controllo privato dell’informazione che fa capo a banche dati digitali proprietarie e dati segreti delle agenzie statali di valutazione. L’unica ragione di questo cambio di paradigma è l’accentramento del potere di governo (o meglio, governance) della scienza. Si tratta di un grande mutamento storico che conduce da una scienza democratica a una scienza autoritaria. L’Open Science può provare a contrastare l’accentramento del potere di governance solo se intende se stessa come l’erede, nell’era digitale, dei valori e dei principi che la scienza pubblica e democratica ha rappresentato nell’era della stampa.

description: The absence of habitat-based guidance for wetland managers on the British mosquito assemblages has in recent years prevented development of the ecological aspect of medical entomology in the UK. This has been particularly relevant in the context of emerging mosquito-borne disease and the creation of wetlands for biodiversity and flood-alleviation goals. This study aimed to provide empirically derived habitat-based predictions in order to assess the suitability of English wetland habitats for mosquitoes. Entomological field data on mosquito density and diversity were collected at 12 English wetlands in 2017 and 2018 using immature and adult mosquito surveys. Wetlands were chosen representing a number of wetland categories that included coastal, urban, wet woodland and established freshwater wetlands to identify key species and functional groups to inform predictions of mosquitoes by aquatic habitat type. Nineteen species were recorded from eight functional groups, totalling 38,577 adult female (19 mosquito species groups) and ~2,000 immature mosquitoes in 13 aquatic habitat types. Approximately 90% of all trapped mosquitoes were attributed to one of five species groups. The most common species were: Aedes (Och.) caspius (Pallas, 1771) (~35% of all mosquitoes), associated with coastal estuarine and flooded grassland sites, Ae. cantans/annulipes (19.7%) in wet woodland field sites, Anopheles claviger (16.2%) and Coquillettidia richiardii (12.6%) with the widest occurrence, found in nearly all field sites, and Ae. detritus (6.9%) in brackish field sites. Across the study, adult mosquito activity increased from week 21 with wet woodland Aedes mosquitoes, until week 40 with open-flood water species, with greatest diversity of species during weeks 23–30. The resulting data informs efforts towards developing predictive tools for non-entomologists to accurately predict the presence and abundance of British mosquitoes in a given habitat, using local knowledge of seasonal aquatic habitats.
title: Text- und Figurenwelten bei Emine Sevgi Özdamar
Creators: name: Etz, Elisabeth
Year: 2006

description: Die Arbeit untersucht zwei Romane der aus der Türkei stammenden Autorin Emine Sevgi Özdamar, Das Leben ist eine Karawanserei […] (1992) und Die Brücke vom Goldenen Horn (1998) unter dem Blickwinkel der narratologischen Possible Worlds Theory. Die PWT fragt, aufgrund welcher Kriterien eine Aussage in einem fiktionalen Text als wahr oder falsch eingestuft werden kann. Fiktionale Texte haben eine TAW (textual actual world), die zur actual world, der tatsächlichen Welt der Autoren/Leser in sehr unterschiedlichen Relationen stehen kann, sowie diverse „Alternative Possible Worlds“; Divergenzen zwischen den verschiedenen Welten oder zwischen den Figuren und den Welten führen zu Konflikten − und damit zu Geschichten. In Özdamars Romanen zeigt sich eine „split ontology“, also die vorübergehende Überlagerung der in den Romanen etablierte TAW durch eine TAWx, eine alternative TAW, in der plötzlich einzelne Gesetze eines „f-universe“ (einer Fantasie- oder Traumwelt) gelten, ohne dass diese Traumwelt jedoch als mögliche Welt einer einzelnen Figur − etwa der Ich-Erzählerin − deklariert wird. Hinsichtlich der „K-Worlds“, der „Knowledge Worlds“, gilt, dass die namenlose Ich-Erzählerin ihre beschränkte K-World, ihr eingeschränktes Weltwissen, an die K-Worlds der anderen Figuren anzupassen bereit ist. Die Autorität des Alters und vor allem des Geschlechts (Männer gelten grundsätzlich als überlegen) dominiert über die K-World der Protagonistin. Hinsichtlich der „W-Worlds“, der „Wish-Worlds“, ist eine ständige Diskrepanz zwischen den nicht realisierbaren Wünschen der Protagonistin und der TAW zu konstatieren. Als zentrales Movens für die Protagonstin entpuppt sich der Wunsch, dazu zu gehören, was dazu führt, dass sie ihre K-World unzutreffend erweitert oder die TAW falsch deutet.

description: Die Diplomarbeit untersucht den 1997 in Wien gegründeten Literaturpreis „schreiben zwischen den kulturen“, der vom Verein Exil verliehen wird und literarische Texte von AutorInnen prämiert, die nach Österreich zugewandert sind oder einer ethnischen Minderheit angehören und ihre diesbezüglichen Erfahrungen reflektieren. Nach einer zum Teil auf Interviews beruhenden Vorstellung der Preisträger bietet die Arbeit Einzelanalysen von fünf kurzen preisgekrönten Texten: Meryem Bolat, „Leben zwischen Kulturen“, Sofija Jovancovic, „Schwarz-weiß“, Anna Kim, „Irritationen“, Dimitré Dinev, „Boshidar“ und Alma Hadzibegovic, „zzOOm: 24 Std. mix of me oder Penthesilea in Sarajevo“. Gefragt wird in erster Linie nach den in den Texten gebotenen Identitätsentwürfen, den Erzählinstanzen und der verwendeten Sprache. Eine umfangreiche Bibliographie stellt die Primärtexte (inklusive Rezensionen und weitere Publikationen von AutorInnen der EDITION EXIL) zusammen und bietet eine wichtige Quellenhinweise.

title: Karl Philipp Moritz' Anton Reiser und Goethes Wilhelm Meister der "Theatralischen Sendung" als Leser
Creators: name: Gutmann, Eva Maria
Year: 2005

description: Die Arbeit widmet sich den Hauptfiguren zweier zeitlich benachbarter Romane, deren Protagonisten sich dadurch auszeichnen, dass sie viel lesen und dass ihre Lektüre ihr Leben strukturiert: Karl Philipp Moritz’ Anton Reiser und Goethes erst posthum veröffentlichtes Romanfragment Wilhelm Meisters theatralische Sendung. Den Hintergrund erhellt das Kapitel „Lesen und Literatur im 18. Jahrhundert“ ehe die beiden Romane in einer „textbezogenen Analyse“ verglichen werden. Es geht um „Lesestoffe“ (im Anton Reiser ein sehr breites Panorama der zeitgenössischen Literaturlandschaft, während in der TS theaterspezifische Schriften dominieren) und um das „Leseverhalten der Protagonisten“ (Anton Reisers „Lesesucht“ ist eine Kompensation unerquicklicher Alltagserfahrungen durch die Flucht in eine lektürebedingte Fantasiewelt. Bei WM dagegen dominiert eine Lektüre, die nach theatralischer Wirksamkeit sucht.) Unter „Hintergründe und Motivationen“ wird nach den Ursachen für das jeweilige Leseverhalten der Protagonisten gefragt, das in beiden Fällen psychologisch, aus der Kindheit, motiviert wird. Schließlich geht es auch noch nach um „andere Leser“, also weitere als Leser dargestellte Figuren. Beide Romane entwerfen das Bild einer stark vom Lesen geprägten Sozietät, wobei allerdings höchst unterschiedliche Leseweisen in Konflikt miteinander treten. Fazit: das Lesen der Protagonisten wird per se immer positiv bewertet, der Erzähler des AR sieht jedoch bestimmte Lesestoffe, ein bestimmtes Leseverhalten kritisch. Der Erz. der TS kritisiert, ähnlich wie manche der Figuren, weniger Wilhelms Lesen als seine mangelnde Weltkenntnis, die natürlich eine Folge seines Lesens ist.

Jonathan proposes that they delay the wedding from October to maybe May or June the following year, and will discuss it with her in his next visit. He teases her about the delay, since she's an "old woman" - unmarried and about to turn 27. He is almost 25 years old.
