description: Abstract

Background: Today, hospitals are required to implement innovative strategies to overcome various challenges in order to achieve their organisational goals. Innovative work behaviour (IWB) is considered a vital asset in the implementation of innovation through employee work practices in the hospitalisation sector. Organisational culture (OC) and Perceived Organizational Support (POS) are two main organisational factors that can influence IWB practices. This study aims to analyse the effect of OC and POS on IWB among employees at Hasanuddin University Hospital Makassar. Methods: This research was a quantitative study with cross-sectional design, which conducted at Hasanuddin University Hospital Makassar City, from May to June 2023. The sample in this study was hospital employees (n = 265), selected using proportional random sampling method. Data were collected using questionnaires. The statistical data was compiled and analyzed using statistical tools (AMOS, SmartPLS3). Results: This study has shown the dominance of the Clan culture type from the perspective of employees at Unhas Hospital. Based on descriptive analysis, it is known that the three research variables (OC, POS, and IWB) mostly show scores with high levels. Furthermore, statistical analysis implies that the four relationship paths between research variables, namely the effect of OC on IWB (p = 0,026, β = 0,178), the effect of OC on POS (p = 0,000, β = 0,501), the effect of POS on IWB (p = 0,006, β = 0,228), and the effect of OC on IWB mediated by POS (p = 0,013, β = 0,114), overall show a positive and significant relationship. Conclusions: It is concluded that the that each of OC and POS showed a significant positive relationship with IWB. OC also showed a significant positive relationship with POS. In addition, the effect of OC on IWB mediated by POS showed a significant positive relationship.

description: Molecular sensing in the lingual mucosa and in the gastro-intestinal tract play a role in the detection of ingested harmful drugs and toxins. Therefore, genetic polymorphisms affecting the capability of initiating these responses may be critical for the subsequent efficiency of avoiding and/or eliminating possible threats to the organism. By using a tagging approach in the region of Taste Receptor 2R38 (TAS2R38) gene, we investigated all the common genetic variation of this gene region in relation to colorectal cancer risk with a case-control study in a German population (709 controls and 602 cases) and in a Czech population (623 controls and 601 cases). We found that there were no significant associations between individual SNPs of the TAS2R38 gene and colorectal cancer in the Czech or in the German population, nor in the joint analysis. However, when we analyzed the diplotypes and the phenotypes we found that the non-taster group had an increased risk of colorectal cancer in comparison to the taster group. This association was borderline significant in the Czech population, (OR = 1.28, 95% CI 0.99-1.67; P(value) = 0.058) and statistically significant in the German population (OR = 1.36, 95% CI 1.06-1.75; P(value) = 0.016) and in the joint analysis (OR = 1.34, 95% CI 1.12-1.61; P(value) = 0.001). In conclusion, we found a suggestive association between the human bitter tasting phenotype and the risk of CRC in two different populations of Caucasian origin.

description: The first genome wide association study (GWAS) for childhood asthma identified a novel major susceptibility locus on chromosome 17q21 harboring the ORMDL3 gene, but the role of previous asthma candidate genes was not specifically analyzed in this GWAS. We systematically identified 89 SNPs in 14 candidate genes previously associated with asthma in >3 independent study populations. We re-genotyped 39 SNPs in these genes not covered by GWAS performed in 703 asthmatics and 658 reference children. Genotyping data were compared to imputation data derived from Illumina HumanHap300 chip genotyping. Results were combined to analyze 566 SNPs covering all 14 candidate gene loci. Genotyped polymorphisms in ADAM33, GSTP1 and VDR showed effects with p-values <0.0035 (corrected for multiple testing). Combining genotyping and imputation, polymorphisms in DPP10, EDN1, IL12B, IL13, IL4, IL4R and TNF showed associations at a significance level between p = 0.05 and p = 0.0035. These data indicate that (a) GWAS coverage is insufficient for many asthma candidate genes, (b) imputation based on these data is reliable but incomplete, and (c) SNPs in three previously identified asthma candidate genes replicate in our GWAS population with significance after correction for multiple testing in 14 genes.

description: In the present study the relationship between behavioural adjustment following cognitive conflict and schizotypy was investigated using a Stroop colour naming paradigm. Previous research has found deficits with behavioural adjustment in schizophrenia patients. Based on these findings, we hypothesized that individual differences in schizotypy, a personality trait reflecting the subclinical expression of the schizophrenia phenotype, would be associated with behavioural adjustment. Additionally, we investigated whether such a relationship would be explained by individual differences in neuroticism, a non-specific measure of negative trait emotionality known to be correlated with schizotypy.106 healthy volunteers (mean age: 25.1, 60% females) took part. Post-conflict adjustment was measured in a computer-based version of the Stroop paradigm. Schizotypy was assessed using the Schizotypal Personality Questionnaire (SPQ) and Neuroticism using the NEO-FFI.We found a negative correlation between schizotypy and post-conflict adjustment (r = -.30, p

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich im Spezifischen mit der Vergangenheitsaufarbeitung in Osttimor. Es wird dabei der allgemeinen Frage nachgegangen, welchen Stellenwert die Vergangenheitsaufarbeitung für Post-Konflikt Gesellschaften auf dem Weg zu einem stabilen Frieden einnimmt. Ziel ist es anhand des Fallbeispiels Osttimor aufzuzeigen, dass ein durch die Vergangenheitsaufarbeitung eingeleiteter Versöhnungsprozess und der Aufbau von friedlichen Beziehungen zwischen den Konfliktparteien die Basis für einen stabilen Frieden sind. Die Fragestellung wird auf der Grundlage der Auswertung einschlägiger Fachliteratur diskutiert. Die Auswertung erfolgt nach den Prinzipien der Qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse. Im Ergebnis wird deutlich, dass die Vergangenheitsaufarbeitung zu einer Notwendigkeit in der Friedenskonsolidierung geworden ist. Es gilt dabei die beiden Dimensionen Gerechtigkeit und Wahrheit dem Kontext entsprechend umzusetzen. In Osttimor wurden nach Erreichen der Unahbhängigkeit mehrere Institutionen zur Aufarbeitung der Vergangenheit eingesetzt, welche jedoch nur teilweise Erfolge erzielen konnten. Dies ist besonders auf die mangelnde politische Bereitschaft der bisherigen Regierungen zurückzuführen. Eine fehlende Umsetzung der Rechte auf Wahrheit und auf Gerechtigkeit stören den Versöhnungsprozess und den Aufbau friedlicher Beziehungen empfindlich. Eine Wiederaufnahme der Vergangenheitsaufarbeitung scheint in Osttimor von tragender Bedeutung, um einen stabilen Frieden zu erreichen.
description: The present diploma thesis deals with coming to terms with past atrocities in East Timor. It examines the general question what significance has coping with past atrocities for post-conflict societies on the path to a stable peace. The aim is to demonstrate using the example of East Timor that reconciliation and the establishment of peaceful relations between the conflict parties initiated by the process of dealing with the past are the foundation of a stable peace. The issue is discussed on the basis of the evaluation of relevant literature. The evaluation is performed according to the principles of qualitative content analysis. As a result, it is clear that the processing of the past has become a necessity in peace building. The two dimensions of justice and truth need to be implemented adequately according to the local context. In East Timor, after achieving independence, several institutions to deal with the past were established. However, coming to terms with past atrocities in East Timor has been successful only partially, which is particularly due to the lack of political will of the previous government. The failure to enforce the rights to truth and justice disrupts the reconciliation process and the development of peaceful relations decisively. Resumption of coming to terms with past atrocities in East Timor seems, is vital in order to achieve a stable peace.

description: Vectren Energy Delivery is the natural gas and electric utility provider for Southern
Indiana. This means that any gas and electric needs must be met by Vectren infrastructure. On
the electric side, Vectren's infrastructure is known as the electric grid, which will be defined
later in this report. With the high potential for additions of new loads, Vectren Energy Delivery
must look to enhance the grid to allow safe and reliable service to all new and existing loads.
Vectren has identified the area of Baseline Road and Highway 41 (in Evansville, IN),
near the new North High School and Azteca Milling Company, to be a high risk area due to the
electric needs of the existing and future customers. Because of this, Vectren is planning to add a
new substation transformer in the existing Azteca Substation. This proposal will discuss the
location, layout, and the plans for the new substation as well as provide a circuit analysis for the
area that will provide the group's recommendations for the new circuit layout. An overview of
the specified area can be seen on the next page.

description: Atherosclerosis is the primary cause of coronary artery disease (CAD). There is increasing recognition that lesion composition rather than size determines the acute complications of atherosclerotic disease. Low serum adiponectin levels were reported to be associated with coronary artery disease and future incidence of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The impact of adiponectin on lesion composition still remains to be determined.We measured serum adiponectin levels in 303 patients with stable typical or atypical chest pain, who underwent dual-source multi-slice CT-angiography to exclude coronary artery stenosis. Atherosclerotic plaques were classified as calcified, mixed or non-calcified. In bivariate analysis adiponectin levels were inversely correlated with total coronary plaque burden (r = -0.21, p = 0.0004), mixed (r = -0.20, p = 0.0007) and non-calcified plaques (r = -0.18, p = 0.003). No correlation was seen with calcified plaques (r = -0.05, p = 0.39). In a fully adjusted multivariate model adiponectin levels remained predictive of total plaque burden (estimate: -0.036, 95%CI: -0.052 to -0.020, p<0.0001), mixed (estimate: -0.087, 95%CI: -0.132 to -0.042, p = 0.0001) and non-calcified plaques (estimate: -0.076, 95%CI: -0.115 to -0.038, p = 0.0001). Adiponectin levels were not associated with calcified plaques (estimate: -0.021, 95% CI: -0.043 to -0.001, p = 0.06). Since the majority of coronary plaques was calcified, adiponectin levels account for only 3% of the variability in total plaque number. In contrast, adiponectin accounts for approximately 20% of the variability in mixed and non-calcified plaque burden.Adiponectin levels predict mixed and non-calcified coronary atherosclerotic plaque burden. Low adiponectin levels may contribute to coronary plaque vulnerability and may thus play a role in the pathophysiology of ACS.

description: HCC is diagnosed in approximately half a million people per year, worldwide. Staging is a more complex issue than in most other cancer entities and, mainly due to unique geographic characteristics of the disease, no universally accepted staging system exists to date. Focusing on survival rates we analyzed demographic, etiological, clinical, laboratory and tumor characteristics of HCC-patients in our institution and applied the common staging systems. Furthermore we aimed at identifying the most suitable of the current staging systems for predicting survival.Overall, 405 patients with HCC were identified from an electronic medical record database. The following seven staging systems were applied and ranked according to their ability to predict survival by using the Akaike information criterion (AIC) and the concordance-index (c-index): BCLC, CLIP, GETCH, JIS, Okuda, TNM and Child-Pugh. Separately, every single variable of each staging system was tested for prognostic meaning in uni- and multivariate analysis. Alcoholic cirrhosis (44.4%) was the leading etiological factor followed by viral hepatitis C (18.8%). Median survival was 18.1 months (95%-CI: 15.2-22.2). Ascites, bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, AFP, number of tumor nodes and the BCLC tumor extension remained independent prognostic factors in multivariate analysis. Overall, all of the tested staging systems showed a reasonable discriminatory ability. CLIP (closely followed by JIS) was the top-ranked score in terms of prognostic capability with the best values of the AIC and c-index (AIC 2286, c-index 0.71), surpassing other established staging systems like BCLC (AIC 2343, c-index 0.66). The unidimensional scores TNM (AIC 2342, c-index 0.64) and Child-Pugh (AIC 2369, c-index 0.63) performed in an inferior fashion.Compared with six other staging systems, the CLIP-score was identified as the most suitable staging system for predicting prognosis in a large German cohort of predominantly non-surgical HCC-patients.
Preserving the People: Using Historic Preservation as a Tool for Combating Community Change in Gentrifying Areas

description: This report takes an introspective approach to analyzing the field of historic preservation. Historic preservation has historically been associated with elitist, white preservation efforts, but it has also evolved over the past 40 years to become a powerful economic development tool for communities through the introduction of historic tax credits. The economic development that historic preservation can create has also led to preservation commonly being indicted as a cause of gentrification, displacement, and a lack of affordable housing. To better understand how preservationists think about their influence in these topics, I conducted a content analysis of writing done by preservation professionals. I identified various themes for how the preservation field perceives itself. Throughout the report, I argue that the field of historic preservation must strive to make itself more relevant in the face of our changing communities. The second part of this report consists of four examples of organizations that are doing work to break into previously untapped spaces – affordable housing production, housing retention efforts for low-income homeowners, and the preservation of naturally occurring affordable rentals. This report seeks to contribute to the growing body of literature on preservation’s role in changing communities. It also seeks to show that preservation can and should take an active role in combating gentrification and displacement.

description: Human naive pluripotent stem cells have unrestricted lineage potential. Underpinning this property, naive cells are thought to lack chromatin-based lineage barriers. However, this assumption has not been tested. Here we define the chromatin-associated proteome, histone post-translational modifications and transcriptome of human naive and primed pluripotent stem cells. Our integrated analysis reveals differences in the relative abundance and activities of distinct chromatin modules. We identify a strong enrichment of polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2)-associated H3K27me3 in the chromatin of naive pluripotent stem cells and H3K27me3 enrichment at promoters of lineage-determining genes, including trophoblast regulators. PRC2 activity acts as a chromatin barrier restricting the differentiation of naive cells towards the trophoblast lineage, whereas inhibition of PRC2 promotes trophoblast-fate induction and cavity formation in human blastoids. Together, our results establish that human naive pluripotent stem cells are not epigenetically unrestricted, but instead possess chromatin mechanisms that oppose the induction of alternative cell fates.

description: In the wake of rapid CO2 release tied to the emplacement of the Siberian Traps, elevated temperatures were maintained for over five million years during the end-Permian biotic crisis. This protracted recovery defies our current understanding of climate regulation via the silicate weathering feedback, and hints at a fundamentally altered carbon and silica cycle. Here, we propose that the development of widespread marine anoxia and Si-rich conditions, linked to the collapse of the biological silica factory, warming, and increased weathering, was capable of trapping Earth's system within a hyperthermal by enhancing ocean-atmosphere CO2 recycling via authigenic clay formation. While solid-Earth degassing may have acted as a trigger, subsequent biotic feedbacks likely exacerbated and prolonged the environmental crisis. This refined view of the carbon-silica cycle highlights that the ecological success of siliceous organisms exerts a potentially significant influence on Earth's climate regime.

Equitable Housing or Reparations? Unpacking Evanston's Approach to Reparations
Creators: name: Krueger, Lucy
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2024

description: This report addresses the research puzzle of reparations as a means of rectifying systematic dispossession experienced by Black Americans, focusing on the shift towards local-level initiatives amid stagnant progress at the federal level. Through an examination of Evanston, Illinois, as a central case study, this study aims to explain the historical context, objectives, mechanisms, challenges, and implications of local reparations efforts.

By investigating these questions through a combination of historical analysis, case study examination, and sentiment analysis of media coverage and public comments, this report provides a comprehensive understanding of the successes, challenges, and implications of local reparations initiatives.

The findings reveal the inherent complexities of reparations initiatives, highlighting a spectrum of sentiments ranging from extreme skepticism to cautious support within the community. While there is notable community backing for the reparations program in Evanston, significant concerns persist regarding its scope, effectiveness, and inclusivity.
The story we tell our-selves: renegotiating Fascist Heritage in post-dictatorial Italy

description: What this thesis has demonstrated is twofold: a) it presents how heritage can be used as a tool to interpret the renegotiation of a dictatorial past; b) it identifies how politics uses heritage to (re)construct identity, as well as to influence the heritage-making process when coming to terms with a dictatorial past. These two aspects have been identified firstly by examining the Fascist regime’s uses of the past, as well as how they edited sites and narratives to serve as tools for propaganda. The research has also shown how modern art and architecture supported the regime’s primary need for building consensus, and it has documented the shifts in meaning and use, or lack thereof, of Fascist Heritage sites, and examined how different sites have been renegotiated depending on their degree of perceived ‘Fascistability’. The thesis also conceptualises the scale of heavy state intervention in legacies of the regime, as based on this Ideological Coefficient of Fascistability. Monuments to past ‘glories’ remain a constant reminder to many of the traumatic memories of a difficult time, while to others they are simply material traces of a once-glorious past. Iconoclasm expresses the need to challenge and publicly question former values, but it fails to interrogate the issue of monumentality, which remains a formidable presence in public spaces. Heritage scholars must find new ways to reframe monuments without any form of iconoclasm, while allowing for a different type of interpretation to be given. At the same time, these objects must also express a very powerful message, so as to interrupt the Fascist monumental rhetoric of order and obedience. In light of the rise of far-right movements in Italy and internationally, and considering how the symbolic power of these monuments can still be exercised and easily instrumentalised, it is therefore crucial to find new ways to disempower memories of such dark times.

description: Studien der letzten Jahre sprechen Bilirubin einen protektiven Effekt gegenüber freien Radikalen zu. Dies wiederum könnte vor Kardiovaskulären Erkrankungen bis hin zu Krebserkrankungen schützen. In den vergangenen Jahren fanden zu diesem Thema einige Humanstudien statt, in denen das Blut von Probanden mit dem autosomal vererbten Gilbert Syndrom untersucht wurden. Jedoch waren hierbei Untersuchungen von Zellverbänden verschiedenster Organe nicht möglich. Daher fand im Juni 2011 mit Gunn Ratten eine Fall-Kontroll-Studie statt, bei welcher zusätzlich Leber und Kolon untersucht werden konnten. Die Hälfte der Ratten wurde in einer Kobalt Strahlenquelle mit einer Stärke von 10.12 Gy bestrahlt und nach Dekapitation wurden die Zellen von Blut, die Leber und Kolon mittels Comet Assays aufbereitet und untersucht. Zellen, welche nur mit Lyse behandelt wurden, stellen die Basis DNA Schäden dar, jene mit den Restriktionsenzymen Endonuklease III und Formamidopyrimidin-DNA-Glykosylase hingegen ermöglichen die Detektion von oxidierten Purin- und Pyrimidinbasen. Die Ergebnisse der bestrahlten Tiere zeigen in den Kolonozyten, sowie in den Lymphozyten eine signifikant höhere Schädigung der DNA als in den unbestrahlten Tiere. Jedoch war keine geringere Schädigung in der Gruppe der homozygoten Gunn Ratten gegenüber ihrer Kontrollgruppe (heterozygoten Gunn Ratten) nachzuweisen. Alle untersuchten Zellen zeigen eine deutlich größere DNA Schädigung ihrer Purinbasen. Positiv zu verzeichnen sind die Reproduzierbarkeit der Bestrahlungsmethode und die genaue Durchführung des Comet Assays, da DNA Strangbrüche und alkalisch-sensitive Brüche sowohl induziert als auch detektiert werden konnten.
title: Biologische Aktivität eines neu synthetisierten Thiokohlensäurederivats (MAH4 HCI) an isolierten Organen von Meerschweinchen

description: In dieser Diplomarbeit wurde die biologische Aktivität der Testsubstanz MAH4 HCl an isolierten Organen von Meerschweinchen überprüft. Die Versuche wurden an den Organen mit glatter Muskulatur (Arteria pulmonalis, terminales Ileum und Aorta) und an den Herzmuskelpräparaten (Atrium cordis dexter und Musculus papillaris) durchgeführt. Durch die Ergebnisse wurden die genaue Wirkstärke der Testsubstanz und ihr Wirkmechanismus ermittelt. Die Testsubstanz MAH4 HCl hatte eine stark negativ chronotrope Wirkung auf den rechten Vorhof. Der EC50 Wert war bei 49,0 µmol/l. Bei allen vier Vorhofversuchen verlor der Vorhof bei der Konzentration von 100 µmol/l seine autonome Aktivität. Bei den Papillarmuskelversuchen kam es auch zur starken Abnahme der Kontraktionskraft. Der EC50 Wert wurde bei 15,0 µmol/l erreicht. Auch zeigte die Testsubstanz eine vasodilatierende bzw. spasmolytische Wirkung auf alle drei glattmuskulären Präparate. Der kleinste vasodilatierende Effekt war an der Aorta zu sehen, obwohl hier auch die Abnahme der Kontraktionskraft einen Wert von -50,30 ± 4,79 erreicht. Bei der Lungenarterie ergab sich einen durchschnittlichen EC50 Wert von 64 µmol/l. Auf den Darm war der stärkste Effekt der Testsubstanz, deshalb wurde der Wirkmechanismus mit zwei verschiedenen Antagonisten Nitro-L-Arginin und Glibenclamid auf dem Darm untersucht. Es wurde geprüft, ob die vasodilatierende Wirkung der MAH4 HCl durch das NO-System bzw. durch die Öffnung der ATP abhängiger Kaliumkanäle entsteht. MAH4 HCl hat keine gewebespezifische Wirkung und wirkt auf alle Präparate relaxierend. Bei der Zersetzung der Testsubstanz MAH4 HCl wird möglicherweise Schwefelwasserstoff freigesetzt. H2S hat eine relaxierende Wirkung auf die glatten Muskelzellen, was in in vitro Studien dargestellt ist. Aus den Versuchen mit den Antagonisten (NO-L-Arginin und Glibenclamid) konnte geschlossen werden, dass die Wirkung teilweise aufgrund dieser Mechanismen zustande kommt. An der vorkommenden Wirkung der Testsubstanz spielen wahrscheinlich noch andere Mechanismen eine Rolle.

description: This paper investigates the role of patent protection in the global investment decisions of multinational firms. Using comprehensive firm-level panel data of German multinationals, we investigate how changes in a host country’s patent protection influence the extensive and intensive margin of foreign direct investment (FDI) decisions. We isolate the effect of patent protection by estimating a difference-in-difference type approach and controlling for an extensive set of fixed effects. At the extensive margin, we find that strengthening patent protection increases the probability of locating a foreign affiliate, whereby the effect is stronger for firms that highly depend on patent protection. The effect depends further on a host country’s initial legal and economic development. Given that a parent has established a foreign affiliate, no systematic effects of patent protection are found for the decision on how much toinvest in the affiliate at the intensive margin. With regard to the ownership structure, we find that multinationals take into account the risk of intellectual property infringements and increase the ownership share held in the foreign affiliate after strengthening patent protection.

description: The prevalence of limited health literacy among older adults, particularly those with limited English proficiency, poses significant challenges to public health. This paper addresses limited food and nutrition literacy among malnourished older adults in California, focusing on factors such as aging, restricted mobility, and limited food access. Drawing upon evidence-based approaches, the study proposes the adaptation of the OzHarvest's NEST (Nutrition Education and Skills Training) program from Australia to the local communities in California. The NEST program aims to enhance nutrition knowledge, food literacy, and cooking skills among malnourished older adults with limited English proficiency. By incorporating a cultural competency framework and leveraging community partnerships, the program seeks to overcome barriers related to language, culture, and socioeconomic status, thereby promoting health equity, and improving health outcomes among vulnerable populations. The evaluation plan combines quantitative assessments and qualitative interviews to comprehensively evaluate the program's impact.

description: The cognitive representation of oneself is central to other sociocognitive processes, including relations with others. It is reflected in faster, more accurate processing of self-relevant information, a "self-prioritisation effect" (SPE) which is inconsistent across studies in autism. Across two tasks with autistic and non-autistic participants, we explored the SPE and its relationship to autistic traits, mentalizing ability and loneliness. A SPE was intact in both groups, but together the two tasks suggested a reduced tendency of late-diagnosed autistic participants to differentiate between familiar and unfamiliar others and greater ease disengaging from the self-concept. Correlations too revealed a complex picture, which we attempt to explore and disentangle with reference to the inconsistency across self-processing studies in autism, highlighting implications for future research.
title: Zur Dramaturgie des narrativen Dokumentarfilms
Creators: name: Tschida, Alexander
Year: 2012

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Dramaturgie von narrativen Dokumentarfilmen. Ziel der Arbeit ist es, den aktuellen Wissensstand über die dramaturgischen Makrostrukturmodelle, i.e. die Modelle für die Gestaltung des groben zeitlichen Ablaufs von Dokumentarfilmen, möglichst übersichtlich zusammenzufassen. Dabei finden auch alternative Modelle der Dramaturgie sowie ein Vergleich der einzelnen dramaturgischen Elemente der Makrostrukturmodelle Berücksichtigung. Zur Methode: Es werden sämtliche dem Autor dieser Arbeit bekannten und zugänglichen Drehbuchratgeber sowie Handbücher für Dokumentarfilm-Regie und -Produktion untersucht. Insgesamt werden elf deutsch- und englischsprachige Ratgeber und Handbücher dieser Art verwendet. Darüber hinaus wird weiterführende Literatur zur Dokumentarfilm-Dramaturgie einbezogen, um auch eine kritische Auseinandersetzung mit den in den Manualen vermittelten dramaturgischen Modellen und Regeln zu gewährleisten. Als praktische Beispiele für die referierten Theoriemodelle werden drei aktuelle (Ko-)Produktionen des neuen österreichischen Dokumentarfilms analysiert: die bei Kinopublikum und/oder Kritik erfolgreichen Dokumentarfilme Workingman’s Death (Michael Glawogger, AT/DE 2005), Am Limit (Pepe Danquart, AT/DE 2007) und In die Welt (Constantin Wulff, AT 2008).
description: The thesis investigates the dramaturgy of narrative documentary films. It aims at summarizing as clearly as possible the theoretical knowledge about macrostructural models of dramaturgy, i.e. models for the rough temporal development of action in documentary films. Alternative models are also taken into account as well as a comparison of the individual dramaturgic elements of these models. As regards the method, the author of the thesis surveys all manuals for documentary screenwriting and documentary production and direction that are known and available to him. Overall, eleven German and English manuals of that kind are used. In addition, further literature on the dramaturgy of documentary films is included in order to ensure a critical reflection on the models of dramaturgy and rules referred to in the manuals. Moreover, as practical examples of the theoretical models, three current Austrian (co-)productions are analysed in detail: Workingman’s Death (Michael Glawogger, AT/DE 2005), Am Limit (Pepe Danquart, AT/DE 2007) and In die Welt (Constantin Wulff, AT 2008). All three films achieved success with cinema audiences and/or critics.

description: Repair of Cas9-induced double-stranded breaks results primarily in formation of small insertions and deletions (indels), but can also cause potentially harmful large deletions. While mechanisms leading to the creation of small indels are relatively well understood, very little is known about the origins of large deletions. Using a library of clonal NGS-validated mouse embryonic stem cells deficient for 32 DNA repair genes, we have shown that large deletion frequency increases in cells impaired for non-homologous end joining and decreases in cells deficient for the central resection gene Nbn and the microhomology-mediated end joining gene Polq. Across deficient clones, increase in large deletion frequency was closely correlated with the increase in the extent of microhomology and the size of small indels, implying a continuity of repair processes across different genomic scales. Furthermore, by targeting diverse genomic sites, we identified examples of repair processes that were highly locus-specific, discovering a role for exonuclease Trex1. Finally, we present evidence that indel sizes increase with the overall efficiency of Cas9 mutagenesis. These findings may have impact on both basic research and clinical use of CRISPR-Cas9, in particular in conjunction with repair pathway modulation.
An Analysis of the Relationship Between Neighborhood Air Quality and Urban Vegetation in Los Angeles, CA
Creators: name: Zhang, Yue
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2024

description: This study investigates the relationships between urban vegetation, traffic, and socioeconomic status (SES) and their collective influence on air quality in Los Angeles. Utilizing General Additive Models (GAM) and Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR), the research highlights how areas with robust vegetation coverage exhibit lower PM2.5 concentrations, revealing a negative correlation with PM2.5. Conversely, regions experiencing higher traffic volumes and lower SES demonstrate increased PM2.5 levels, indicating a positive correlation with air pollution. These findings underscore the complex interplay between environmental and urban infrastructure factors on air quality, revealing that environmental burdens are unevenly distributed across different demographics. The study provides a basis for targeted urban planning and policy recommendations aimed at improving air quality and reducing socio-economic disparities in environmental health impacts.
