description: Two-dimensional (2D) halide perovskites (HPs) are promising materials for various optoelectronic applications, yet a comprehensive understanding of their dynamics is still elusive. Here, we offer insight into the dynamics of prototypical 2D HPs based on MAPbI$_3$ as a function of linker molecule and the number of perovskite layers using atomic scale simulations. We show that the layers closest to the linker undergo transitions that are distinct from those of the interior layers. These transitions can take place anywhere between a few tens of Kelvin below to more than 100 K above the cubic-tetragonal transition of bulk MAPbI$_3$. In combination with the thickness of the perovskite layer this enables one to template phase transitions and tune the dynamics over a wide temperature range. Our results thereby reveal the details of an important and generalizable design mechanism for tuning the properties of these materials.

description: Context. A necessary ingredient in understanding the star formation history of a young cluster is knowledge of the extinction towards the region. This has typically been done by making use of the colour-difference method with photometry, or similar methods utilising the colour-colour diagram. Aims. The colour-excess can be independently determined by studying the decrements of the recombination lines produced by the nebular gas. Having access to many recombination lines from the same spectral series removes the need of adopting an extinction curve. Methods. Using the Micro-Shutter Assembly (MSA) on board the Near InfraRed Spectrograph (NIRSpec), multi-object spectroscopy was performed, yielding 600 nebular spectra from the Galactic massive star formation region NGC 3603. The recombination line intensity ratios were used to determine independent values of colour-excess. Results. The extinction characteristics of NGC 3603 are similar to other Galactic HII regions like Orion, as well as starburst regions such 30 Doradus in the Large Magellanic Cloud, in that we find a relatively large value of total-to-selective extinction of 4.8 $\pm$ 1.06, larger than the Galactic average of 3.1. We find a typical value for the colour-excess of 0.64 $\pm$ 0.27, significantly lower than values determined in previous studies. We also present a stacked nebular spectrum with a typical continuum S/N = 70. This spectrum highlights the recombination lines of the HII region, several s-process elements such as Kr III and Se IV, and molecular H2 emission lines. Conclusions. Using ratios of hydrogen recombination lines, we calculated the total-to-selective extinction, colour-excess and visual extinction for > 200 lines of sight across NGC 3603. An extinction curve with a total-to-selective extinction of 4.8 $\pm$ 1.06 was found, corresponding to a colour-excess of 0.64 $\pm$ 0.27.

description: The study of astronomical phenomena through ground-based observations is always challenged by the distorting effects of Earth's atmosphere. Traditional methods of post-facto image correction, essential for correcting these distortions, often rely on simplifying assumptions that limit their effectiveness, particularly in the presence of spatially variant atmospheric turbulence. Such cases are often solved by partitioning the field-of-view into small patches, deconvolving each patch independently, and merging all patches together. This approach is often inefficient and can produce artifacts. Recent advancements in computational techniques and the advent of deep learning offer new pathways to address these limitations. This paper introduces a novel framework leveraging a deep neural network to emulate spatially variant convolutions, offering a breakthrough in the efficiency and accuracy of astronomical image deconvolution. By training on a dataset of images convolved with spatially invariant point spread functions and validating its generalizability to spatially variant conditions, this approach presents a significant advancement over traditional methods. The convolution emulator is used as a forward model in a multi-object multi-frame blind deconvolution algorithm for solar images. The emulator enables the deconvolution of solar observations across large fields of view without resorting to patch-wise mosaicking, thus avoiding artifacts associated with such techniques. This method represents a significant computational advantage, reducing processing times by orders of magnitude.

description: Hintergrund: Frauen, die migrieren und in der Sexarbeit arbeiten, haben ein erhöhtes Risiko, sich mit STI oder HIV zu infizieren. Im Rahmen einer Expertenbefragung wurden Aspekte kultursensibler HIV/STI-Prävention bei Sexarbeiterinnen (SW) mit Migrationshintergrund untersucht. Methodik: Es wurden Leitfaden-gestützte Interviews mit 12 Expertinnen in Berlin durchgeführt und ausgewertet. Ergebnisse: Kultursensible HIV/STI-Prävention beinhaltet die Vermittlung von Wissen zu HIV/STI und Frauengesundheit, niedrigschwellige und aufsuchende Angebote, (mehr-)sprachliche und (inter-)kulturell kompetente sowie klientenzentrierte Beratungsangebote. Auch strukturelle Faktoren, die Vulnerabilität und Schutzverhalten beeinflussen, müssen berücksichtigt werden. Schlussfolgerungen: Kultursensible HIV/STI-Prävention für SW mit Migrationshintergrund baut auf Grundsätzen und Angeboten auf, die sich in der Prävention für SW allgemein bewährt haben. Zusätzlich gilt es die spezifische Situation und Bedürfnisse von Migrantinnen zu berücksichtigen, z. B. im Hinblick auf Informationen zu Frauengesundheit und anderen Aspekten des Lebens und Arbeitens in Deutschland.
description: Background: Women who migrate to engage in sex work are at increased risk for infection with HIV and STIs. This study examines aspects of culturally sensitive HIV/STI prevention for female migrant sex workers. Methods: Semi-structured interviews with 12 experts (representatives of NGOs and health authorities) were conducted and analysed. Findings: Culturally sensitive HIV/STI prevention services address women’s health issues and the provision of sex education as well as specific information on HIV and STIs. Outreach and low-threshold services are crucial to reach the women. Language skills and cultural competency are needed as well as cultural mediators and the training of sex workers as peer educators. Structural factors that affect vulnerability and protective behaviour need to be addressed. Conclusion: Culturally sensitive HIV/STI prevention services for migrant sex workers build on the principles and services that work well for sex workers in general. Additionally, the specific situation and needs of migrants need to be considered and information on women’s health and on other aspects of living and working in Germany should be provided.

description: Background: International travel plays a role in the spread of HIV-1 across Europe. It is, however, not known whether international travel is more important for spread of the epidemic as compared to endogenous infections within single countries. In this study, phylogenetic associations among HIV of newly diagnosed patients were determined across Europe. Results: Data came from the SPREAD programme which collects samples of newly diagnosed patients that are representative for national HIV epidemics. 4260 pol sequences from 25 European countries and Israel collected in 2002–2007 were included. We identified 457 clusters including 1330 persons (31.2% of all patients). The cluster size ranged between 2 and 28. A number of 987 patients (74.2%) were part of a cluster that consisted only of patients originating from the same country. In addition, 135 patients (10.2%) were in a cluster including only individuals from neighboring countries. Finally, 208 patients (15.6%) clustered with individuals from countries without a common border. Clustering with patients from the same country was less prevalent in patients being infected with B subtype (P-value

Die Datenbasis wird durch die „Studie zur Gesundheit Erwachsener in Deutschland“ (DEGS1) gebildet, die das Robert Koch-Institut im Zeitraum von 2008 bis 2011 durchgeführt hat (n=8152). Der sozioökonomische Status wird über einen mehrdimensionalen Index erfasst, in den Informationen zum Bildungsniveau, zur beruflichen Stellung und zum Netto-Äquivalenzeinkommen eingehen. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass Personen mit niedrigem sozioökonomischem Status im Vergleich zu denen mit mittlerem und hohem sozioökonomischem Status ihren allgemeinen Gesundheitszustand schlechter einschätzen und häufiger an Diabetes erkrankt sind. Außerdem ist bei ihnen das Risiko für eine depressive Symptomatik, Adipositas und sportliche Inaktivität erhöht. Die Ergebnisse machen deutlich, dass die Gesundheitschancen und Erkrankungsrisiken nach wie vor sehr ungleich verteilt sind. Sie unterstreichen damit die Bedeutung von politischen Interventionen zur Verringerung der gesundheitlichen Ungleichheit.
description: The analysis focuses on the connection between socioeconomic status (SES) and five health outcomes in the 18- to 79-year-old population of Germany. It uses data from the German Health Interview and Examination Survey for Adults (DEGS1) which the Robert Koch Institute conducted in the period from 2008–2011 (n=8,152). Socioeconomic status is recorded via a multidimensional index which includes information on education attainment, occupational status and household income. The results show that persons with a low socioeconomic status have a self-rated health status which is worse than that of persons with a medium or high socioeconomic status, and that they have diabetes more frequently. They also have a higher risk of depressive symptoms, obesity and no sports activity. The results illustrate that health chances and the risk of illness are still very socially unevenly distributed, thus emphasising the significance of political interventions to reduce health inequalities.

description: Stellar convection plays an important role in atmospheric dynamics, wind formation and the mass-loss processes in Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars. However, a direct characterization of convective surface structures in terms of size, contrast, and life-span is quite challenging. Spatially resolving these features requires the highest angular resolution. In this work, we aim at characterizing the size of convective structures on the surface of the O-rich AGB star R Car to test different theoretical predictions, based on mixing-length theory from solar models. We used infrared low-spectral resolution (R~35) interferometric data in the H-band (~1.76 $μ$m) with the instrument PIONIER at the Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI) to image the star's surface at two epochs separated by ~6 years. Using a power spectrum analysis, we estimate the horizontal size of the structures on the surface of R Car. The sizes of the stellar disk, at different phases of a pulsation cycle, were obtained using parametric model-fitting in the Fourier domain. Our analysis supports that the sizes of the structures in R Car are correlated with variations of the pressure scale height in the atmosphere of the target, as predicted by theoretical models based on solar convective processes. We observe that these structures grow in size when the star expands within a pulsation cycle. While the information is still scarce, this observational finding highlights the role of convection in the dynamics of those objects. New interferometric imaging campaigns with the renewed capabilities of the VLTI are envisioned to expand our analysis to a larger sample of objects.

description: In the absence of an immunisation register, vaccination coverage in Germany must be estimated. Ten years after the German National Health Interview and Examination Survey 1998 (GNHIES98), the population survey DEGS1 is one of the data sources that can be used for monitoring vaccination coverage. In the survey, data on vaccination history were obtained from vaccination cards and self-reports. The prevalence of immunisation for tetanus and diphtheria was higher compared to the prevalence estimated 10 years previously in GNHIES98. Nonetheless, 28.6% of adults have not been vaccinated against tetanus and 42.9% have not been vaccinated against diphtheria within the last 10 years. Vaccination is especially low among the elderly, among adults with low socioeconomic status and in western Germany. During the last 10 years, only 11.8% of women and 9.4% of men were vaccinated against pertussis in western Germany; vaccination coverage was twice as high in eastern Germany. In 2009, recommendations were published to combine the next tetanus immunisation with a pertussis immunisation; therefore pertussis vaccination coverage might improve in the coming years. The lifetime prevalence of influenza vaccination obtained in DEGS1 is higher than the annual vaccination rate for influenza. However, the lifetime prevalence among adults aged 60 years or older is still below the annual rate of 75% recommended by the WHO.

description: Background: Foodborne Yersinia enterocolitica infections continue to be a public health problem in many countries. Consumption of raw or undercooked pork is the main risk factor for yersiniosis in Germany. Small children are most frequently affected by yersiniosis. In older children and young adults, symptoms of disease may resemble those of appendicitis and may lead to hospitalization and potentially unnecessary appendectomies. Y. enterocolitica infections may also cause sequelae such as reactive arthritis (ReA), erythema nodosum (EN), and conjunctivitis. Methods: We studied clinical aspects of yersiniosis, antimicrobial use, and self-reported occurrence of appendectomies, reactive arthritis, erythema nodosum and conjunctivitis. To assess post-infectious sequelae participants of a large population-based case–control study on laboratory-confirmed Y. enterocolitica infections conducted in Germany in 2009–2010 were followed for 4 weeks. Results: Diarrhea occurred most frequently in children ≤4 years (95%); abdominal pain in the lower right quadrant was most common in children 5–14 years of age (63%). Twenty-seven per cent of patients were hospitalized, 37% were treated with antimicrobials. In 6% of yersiniosis patients ≥5 years of age, appendectomies were performed. Self-reported symptoms consistent with ReA were reported by 12% of yersiniosis patients compared to 5% in a reference group not exposed to yersiniosis. Symptoms consistent with EN were reported by 3% of yersiniosis patients compared to 0.1% in the reference group. Symptoms of conjunctivitis occurred with the same frequency in yersiniosis patients and the reference group. Conclusions: Acute Y. enterocolitica infections cause considerable burden of illness with symptoms lasting for about 10 days and hospitalizations in more than a quarter of patients. The proportion of yersiniosis patients treated with antimicrobial drugs appears to be relatively high despite guidelines recommending their use only in severe cases. Appendectomies and post-infectious complications (ReA and EN) are more frequently reported in yersiniosis patients than in the reference group suggesting that they can be attributed to infections with Y. enterocolitica. Physicians should keep recent Y. enterocolitica infection in mind in patients with symptoms resembling appendicitis as well as in patients with symptoms of unclear arthritis.

description: Between October 2012 and May 2013, five cases of invasive meningococcal disease in young men who have sex with men (MSM) living in Berlin were notified to local health authorities in Germany. Three of the five cases died. All were caused by serogroup C variants with the finetype P1.5-1,10-8:F3-6. Awareness was increased through the use of community networks; an extension of the existing vaccination recommendation to all MSM is currently being considered.

description: Objective: To compare sensitivity of pooled urine testing with single specimen testing using NAAT (nucleic acid amplification test). To determine Chlamydia prevalence among adolescents in Germany. Methods: Urine samples from 15-17 year old female and 16-17 year old male participants of a nationwide representative study in children and adolescents sampled between 2003 and 2006 were tested individually and in pools of 4 using BDProbeTec ET System (strand displacement amplification). Specificity, sensitivity, positive and negative predictive values (PPV, NPV) for pooled testing with 95%-confidence-intervals (95% CI) was calculated. Chlamydia prevalence with 95% CI was calculated for individual testing. Results: Among individually tested 1925 specimens, 27 were positive for chlamydia, resulting in a prevalence of 1.4%. Chlamydia prevalence ranged from 0.2% in 16-year old males to 3.2% in 17-year old females. Using individual testing as the standard, a specificity of 99.6% and a sensitivity of 56.0% was found for pooled testing. The PPV was 87.5% and the NPV 97.6%. Inhibition was higher in individual testing compared to pooled testing. Conclusion: In this setting of a national health survey the very low sensitivity of 56.0% for pooled testing is concerning and differs from previously reported results. Pooled chlamydia test results should be interpreted with caution, especially if urine samples were not collected or stored under optimal conditions. Possible causes such as dilution effects, lack of prior DNA purification, long-term-storage and the use of urines that may not be first-void should be ruled out. Recommendations for population screening to use pooled testing might need to be re-evaluated should larger studies on more recent samples confirm our findings.

description: A novel influenza A virus (IAV) of the H7N9 subtype has been isolated from severely diseased patients with pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome and, apparently, from healthy poultry in March 2013 in Eastern China. We evaluated replication, tropism, and cytokine induction of the A/Anhui/1/2013 (H7N9) virus isolated from a fatal human infection and two low-pathogenic avian H7 subtype viruses in a human lung organ culture system mimicking infection of the lower respiratory tract. The A(H7N9) patient isolate replicated similarly well as a seasonal IAV in explanted human lung tissue, whereas avian H7 subtype viruses propagated poorly. Interestingly, the avian H7 strains provoked a strong antiviral type I interferon (IFN-I) response, whereas the A(H7N9) virus induced only low IFN levels. Nevertheless, all viruses analyzed were detected predominantly in type II pneumocytes, indicating that the A(H7N9) virus does not differ in its cellular tropism from other avian or human influenza viruses. Tissue culture-based studies suggested that the low induction of the IFN-β promoter correlated with an efficient suppression by the viral NS1 protein. These findings demonstrate that the zoonotic A(H7N9) virus is unusually well adapted to efficient propagation in human alveolar tissue, which most likely contributes to the severity of lower respiratory tract disease seen in many patients.
Zur demographischen Situation in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland

description: Die demographische Situation einer Bevölkerung hat eine wesentlichen Einfluß auf die Häufigkeit von Todesursachen und Krankheiten. Ohne Kenntnis der demographischen Gegebenheiten sind Mortalität und Morbidität kaum gültig zu beurteilen. Darüber hinaus ist die Kenntnis demographischer Daten für gesundheitspolitische Entscheidungen unerläßlich. Die demographische Situation in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland ist geprägt durch einen Fruchtbarkeitsrückgang und einen Anstieg der Lebenserwartung. Der abnehmenden Zahl jüngerer Personen steht eine ständig steigende Zahl älterer Personen gegenüber. Dieser demographische Wandel führt erwartungsgemäß zu einem Häufigkeitsanstieg an chronischen und behindernden Krankheiten und ist somit eine gesundheits- und sozialpolitische Herausforderung. Andererseits erreichen nicht nur mehr Menschen ein höheres Alter, sondern mehr Menschen erreichen dieses Alter auch in besserer Gesundheit, so daß auch die behinderungsfreie Lebenserwartung wächst.

description: Zur Erfassung der Häufigkeit und des Typenspektrums von Shigatoxin-produzierendenE. coli-Stämmen (EHEC-Bakterien) sowie zur Evaluierung der Praktikabilität, Spezifität und Sensitivität eines Verfahrens zur Diagnostik von EHEC wurde eine Sentinel-Studie im Einzugsbereich (1,1 Mio. Einwohner) eines privat niedergelassenen Untersuchungslabors durchgeführt. Von 3835 untersuchten Durchfallstühlen konnten in ca. 3 % EHEC-Bakterien nachgewiesen werden, die zu einem ungewöhnlich breiten Spektrum von Serovaren und Klonen mit sehr verschiedenen Virulenzfaktoren gehörten. So ließen sich nur ca. 10 % der isolierten EHEC-Stämme als O157 identifizieren, aber ebenso häufig auch O103, O26, O8 oder Ont-Stämme. Ein kombiniertes Verfahren von bestimmten kulturellen und molekularen Methoden erwies sich als praktikabel für die Routinediagnostik unter den zeitlichen und ökonomischen Anforderungen und Bedingungen von privat niedergelassenen Laboratorien.
description: In order to record the incidence and clonal types of shigatoxin-producing E. coli of human origin (EHEC) and to evaluate the feasibility, sensitivity and specificity of a protocol for screening and isolation of EHEC under conditions clinical stool diagnostics a pilot study (Sentinel-study) was carried out with private clinical laboratory (covering 1.1 Mio. inhabitants). 3 % EHEC bacteria were detected among 3835 stool samples investigated from patients suffering with watery and bloody diarrhoea. These isolates belong to a broad range of serovars and clones with a spectrum of various virulence factors. Thus, about 10 % of the isolates have been identified as E. coli O157:H7/-, only, but with the same frequency E. coli O103:H2, O26:H11/-, O8:H or Ont. The protocol of combined bacterial enrichment and molecular methods turned out to be valuable and feasible under conditions and economic requests of private diagnostic laboratories covering ca. 85 % of primary diagnostics.

description: While the spread of Salmonella enterica serotype Kentucky resistant to ciprofloxacin across Africa and the Middle-East has been described recently, the presence of this strain in humans, food, various animal species (livestock, pets, and wildlife) and in environment is suspected in other countries of different continents. Here, we report results of an in-depth molecular epidemiological study on a global human and non-human collection of S. Kentucky (n = 70). We performed XbaI-pulsed field gel electrophoresis and multilocus sequence typing, assessed mutations in the quinolone resistance-determining regions, detected β-lactam resistance mechanisms, and screened the presence of the Salmonella genomic island 1 (SGI1). In this study, we highlight the rapid and extensive worldwide dissemination of the ciprofloxacin-resistant S. Kentucky ST198-X1-SGI1 strain since the mid-2000s in an increasingly large number of contaminated sources, including the environment. This strain has accumulated an increasing number of chromosomal and plasmid resistance determinants and has been identified in the Indian subcontinent, Southeast Asia and Europe since 2010. The second substitution at position 87 in GyrA (replacing the amino acid Asp) appeared helpful for epidemiological studies to track the origin of contamination. This global study provides evidence leading to the conclusion that high-level resistance to ciprofloxacin in S. Kentucky is a simple microbiological trait that facilitates the identification of the epidemic clone of interest, ST198-X1-SGI1. Taking this into account is essential in order to detect and monitor it easily and to take rapid measures in livestock to ensure control of this infection.
