title: Die AlphaLiege in der Musiktherapie
Creators: name: Lackenbauer, Monika
Year: 2010

description: Diese Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Frage, inwiefern die AlphaLiege in die Musiktherapie integrierbar ist. Zu diesem Zweck erleben sechs Musiktherapeuten zuerst die AlphaLiege selbst und werden dann mit Hilfe eines leitfadenorientierten Interviews befragt. Die Auswertung der Daten erfolgt mittels der Grounded Theory. Als Ergebnis zeigt sich die Möglichkeit der Integration der AlphaLiege in die Musiktherapie unter der Voraussetzung der Adaptierung der Liege und der Einbettung in einen therapeutischen Kontext, der mit einer starken Aktivität des Therapeuten einhergeht. Gleichzeitig werden Vorbehalte gegen den Einsatz der AlphaLiege in der Musiktherapie vorgebracht: die AlphaLiege wird als nicht-therapeutisch angesehen, ihr Einsatz soll sich auf den Wellnessbereich und die Musikmedizin beschränken. Als nächster Forschungsschritt empfiehlt sich der Einsatz der AlphaLiege in der musiktherapeutischen Praxis, um genauere Aussagen über die Anschlussfähigkeit der AlphaLiege in die Musiktherapie treffen zu können.
description: This paper focuses on the question: In what way can the AlphaLiege be integrated in music therapy? Therefore six music therapists experience the AlphaLiege and afterwards are questioned in a guidelined interview about their experiences. The data is analyzed by the Grounded Theory. The outcomes show the possibility to integrate the AlphaLiege in music therapy under the condition that the AlphaLiege is adapted and put into a therapeutical context that is based on a highly active therapist. There are, however, still reservations made against its use in music therapy, the AlphaLiege being non-therapeutic and should be used only in wellness facilities and in music medicine. For further studies the AlphaLiege should be used in therapeutic practice to get more detailed statements about its integration in music therapy.

description: Rodents, particularly various species of rats and mice, serve as reservoir hosts for the tapeworm Hymenolepis. These tapeworms, such as Hymenolepis nana (dwarf tapeworm), can infect humans as well. Infection typically occurs through ingestion of contaminated food or water containing tapeworm eggs shed in the feces of infected rodents. Therefore, rodents play a crucial role in the transmission cycle of Hymenolepis tapeworms, serving as reservoirs from which humans can acquire the infection.

description: Disentangling the composition of the diffuse gamma-ray background (DGRB) is a major challenge in gamma-ray astronomy. It is presumed that at the highest energies, the DGRB is dominated by relatively few, still unresolved point sources. This conjecture has recently been supported by the measurement of small-scale anisotropies in the DGRB by the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) up to energies of 500 GeV. We show how such anisotropies can be searched for with the forthcoming Earth-bound Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) up to the TeV range. We investigate different observation modes to analyse CTA data for small-scale anisotropies and propose the projected extragalactic large-area sky survey as the most promising data set. Relying on an up-to-date model of the performance of the southern CTA, we find that CTA will be able to probe anisotropies in the DGRB from unresolved point sources at a relative amplitude of $C_{\rm P}^I/I^2_{\rm DGRB}\gtrsim 4\times 10^{-3}\,{\rm sr}$ at energies above 30 GeV and angular scales $\lesssim 1.5^{\circ}$. Such DGRB anisotropies have not yet been ruled out by the Fermi-LAT. The proposed analysis would primarily clarify the contribution from blazars and misaligned active galactic nuclei to the very-high-energy regime of the DGRB, as well as provide insight on dark matter annihilation in Galactic and extragalactic density structures. Finally, it constitutes a measurement with complementary systematic uncertainties compared to the Fermi-LAT.

description: Genus Maculabatis
The new genus Maculabatis, as well as several new species, was recently assigned to a group of morphologically similar stingray species (Last et al. 2016c; Manjaji-Matsumoto & Last 2016). The recently described Maculabatis bineeshi was recorded in Bangladesh for the first time in this study (Figure 3), with a total of 21 specimens recorded, both morphologically (Manjaji-Matsumoto & Last 2016) and genetically. M. arabica (Figure 4) was genetically identified from one specimen and morphologically identified from another 18 specimens. In addition, seven specimens that were morphologically most consistent with M. macrura were examined. M. macrura has only recently been established as a valid species, and is morphologically very similar to M. gerrardi (Last et al. 2016a), with distinguishing characteristics poorly understood. Further genetic studies are therefore recommended to assign these specimens to the correct species.

description: Genus Neotrygon
The Neotrygon kuhlii species complex has recently been expanded (Last et al. 2016). These taxonomic revisions, however, did not consider Bay of Bengal specimens in detail. To date, two species have been recorded from Bangladesh; N. indica and N. kuhlii (Haque et al. 2019a; Hoq et al. 2011). In this present study, a total of 649 specimens were examined, and five sampled for genetic analysis. Morphological differences were observed, including the dorsal coloration and tail banding. Several specimens were most consistent with N. caeruleopunctata, but have been preliminarily identified as N. cf. caeruleopunctata (Figure 5) due to possible genetic differences in the Bay of Bengal specimens. It is likely that previous records of N. kuhlii represent this species, with N. kuhlii now considered to occur only from the Solomon Islands, and adjacent island groups (Last et al. 2016a). All genetically sampled specimens were labelled as Neotrygon Bay of Bengal variants.

description: The aim is to compare the accessibility of the theses stored in Osuva publications archive in 2019 and 2023 in the open collection of master's theses. In 2019, the University's general writing guidelines were introduced, but a transition period from the old guidelines was still in force. The old guidelines did not take accessibility into account in any way. The new guidelines contain accessibility guidelines. In the discussions, the universities' policy on the interpretation of the law is often invoked, with the university being responsible for providing the accessible template and instructions, but the creation of the file being the responsibility of the student. This study provides insight into whether this policy is sufficient to improve the accessibility of theses. Can we see any improvement?

description: Genus Pastinachus
The current study confirmed two Pastinachus ater (Figure 7) specimens in Bangladesh and 18 specimens of Pastinachus solocirostris (Figure 8). It is assumed that, P. ater has been previously reported from Bangladesh as P. sephen (Roy et al. 2015), though a recent taxonomic study found that P. sephen is only found in the Western Indian Ocean (Red Sea to Pakistan) (Last & Manjaji-Matsumoto 2010). However, four specimens were morphologically very close to P. sephen and referred to as P. cf. sephen (Figure 9) needing further taxonomic work. We also recorded two specimens of a third species of Pastinachus, which are morphologically consistent with P. gracilicaudus. Further taxonomic examination is required, however, as differences were found between the NADH2 sequences of the Bangladesh as compared to Borneo specimens. This species is tentatively referred to as Pastinachus cf. gracilicaudus (Figure 10).

description: Maria Theresia Ledóchowska (1863-1922) entstammte aus einer polnischen Adelsfamilie und war eine der führenden Gestalten in der Anti-Sklaverei- und Missionsbewegung der Katholiken Österreichs. Mieczyslaw Halka von Ledóchowski, der Präfekt der Propaganda Fide in Rom und zugleich Ledóchowskas Onkel unterstützte sie in ihrer Tätigkeit. Ledóchowska gründete die „St. Petrus Claver-Sodalität für die afrikanischen Missionen“, eine so genannte „Hilfsmissionsgesellschaft“, deren Hauptaufgabe es war, die katholischen Missionare in Afrika von Europa aus durch Geldspenden aber auch durch Alltagsgegenstände, Kleidung und kirchliche Gegenstände zu unterstützen. Sie war mit zahlreichen Missionsgesellschaften, die in Afrika tätig waren, in Verbindung und publizierte deren Briefe und Berichte über die Mission in ihren Zeitschriften, allen voran im „Echo aus Afrika“. Die Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Ideologie dieser Missionsberichte in Bezug auf Afrika und deren BewohnerInnen. Ledóchowska selbst war nie in Afrika und bezog ihre Informationen zu einem großen Teil aus den Missionsberichten, die sie für ihre Zeitschrift redigierte. Neben ihrer Arbeit als Redakteurin war sie selbst auch Autorin und produzierte eine Unmenge an Text: Pamphlete, Essays, Vorträge und sogar Theaterstücke, die in der Arbeit kritisch beleuchtet werden. Inspiriert zu ihrer Arbeit für die Anti-Sklaverei-Bewegung und die Mission der katholischen Kirche wurde Ledóchowska von dem französischen Kardinal Lavigerie, der 1888 mit einer Vortragsreihe gegen die Sklaverei durch Europa tourte. Lavigerie wurde von Papst Leo XIII. mit der Missionierung Afrikas betraut und lieferte der Kirche mit seinem „Kreuzzug gegen die Sklaverei“ die wesentliche Basis in ihrem Missionskonzept Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts. Die Verhandlungen Lavigeries mit dem belgischen König Leopold II. über die Missionspolitik im Kongo stehen beispielhaft für die vielfältigen Verstrickungen zwischen Mission und Kolonialmacht, die sich im europäischen „scramble for Africa“ intensivierten.

title: Gewalt religiös legitimierbar?
Creators: name: Görke, Alexander
Year: 2010

description: In der Forschungsliteratur zum Fundamentalismus tauchen oftmals zwei Merkmale auf, die zugleich auch eine negative Bewertung darstellen. Der Fundamentalismus sei militant und erhebe Absolutheitsansprüche. Angesichts der Tatsache, dass sich auch demokratische Staaten der gründenden und erhaltenden Gewalt bedienen, bedarf es einer Reflexion auf das Thema Gewalt und Absolutheitsanspruch, wenn man sich einerseits vom Fundamentalismus abgrenzen will, und andererseits nicht dem Prinzip „might is right“ folgen oder einem Relativismus anheim fallen will. Zur Reflexion wird auf drei Autoren zurückgegriffen: Kierkegaard, Derrida und H. Putnam. Alle drei lehnen fundamentalistische Gewalt zwar ab, sind aber nicht gegen Gewalt. Sie halten sie unter gewissen Bedingungen sogar für legitim. Eine Fragestellung der Arbeit ist demnach, ob und wie sie es schaffen, sich vom Fundamentalismus zu distanzieren. Eine zweite Fragestellung, worauf zugleich der Hauptfokus in dieser Arbeit liegt, ist: Wie umgehen Kierkegaard, Derrida und Putnam absolutistische und relativistische Positionierungen. Und welche Rolle spielt dabei die Religion? Dies führt wiederum zur Frage der Gewalt, da die ethische Frage nach ihr davon nicht unbeeinträchtigt bleibt.
description: Oftentimes in research papers concerning fundamentalism two features of fundamentalism appear that function at the same time as a negative evaluation. Fundamentalism is said to be militant and raises absolute claims. But in the face of the fact that even democratic states use founding and conserving violence, reflection on the themes violence and absolute claims is needed, if you want to mark-off yourself from fundamentalism on the one side, and on the other side, if you do not want to follow the principle „might is right“ or fall victim to relativism. For reflection this work will focus on Kierkegaard, Derrida and H. Putnam. All three reject fundamentalistic violence, but they are not in principle against violence. Under certain circumstances they even think it’s legitimate. Hence, one question in this paper is, whether and how they manage to differ themeselves from fundamentalism. A second question, on which the main focus will be concentrated, is: How do Kierkegaard, Derrida and Putnam avoid absolutist and relativistic positions? And which role religion does play in here? This leads back to the question of violence, because the ethical question concerning violence will not stay untouched by it.
Powder Recycling for the Production of Pin Fin Heat Sinks by Cold Gas Dynamic Spray

description: As a result of the rise in processing power demands of today’s personal computers, water cooled pin fin heat sinks are increasingly being employed for the cooling of graphical processing units. Currently, these high performance devices are manufactured through high-cost, high-waste processes. In recent years, a new solution has emerged using the cold gas dynamic spray process, in which pin fins are directly manufactured onto a baseplate by spraying metallic powder particles through a mask. This process allows for a high degree of adaptability to different graphics processing unit shapes and sizes not achievable by any other process to date. One drawback of this process is that, as substrate sensitivity to heat and mechanical residual stresses requires the use of reduced spray parameters, there is reduced deposition efficiency, resulting in a fair portion of the feedstock powder being wasted. This work aims to demonstrate the feasibility of using powder recycling to mitigate this issue and compares coatings sprayed with reclaimed powder to their counterparts sprayed with as-received powder. The work demonstrates that cold gas dynamic spray is a highly flexible and economically competitive process for the production of pin fin heat sinks when using powder recycling even when spray parameters result in reduced deposition efficiency. The benefits of pin fins on heat transfer properties of flat plates used for graphical processing units is briefly addressed and demonstrated

description: Fulminant idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is a rapid vision-degrading presentation of IIH with limited published studies. This study composed a narrative review of fulminant IIH with the aim of better characterising fulminant IIH presentation and visual outcomes. SCOPUS and PubMed were searched for papers referencing IIH, benign intracranial hypertension, or pseudotumour cerebri. Abstracts were screened for rapid degradation in vision. All studies were required to meet both the modified Dandy and fulminant IIH criteria. Thirty-six studies met the inclusion criteria. Demographics, treatments, and visual outcome data were collected. Case studies made up 69% of the studies and 31% were case series. In total, 72 patients with fulminant IIH were reported, of which 23.6% were paediatric and 96% were female. Surgical intervention occurred in 85% of patients. Anaemia was present in 11% of patients and 85.7% of paediatric patients had a sixth cranial nerve palsy. In conclusion, we propose the following practice guidelines to assist in diagnosing and treating fulminant IIH patients: 1) patients who present with optic disc oedema require urgent visual field testing to evaluate for vision loss; 2) a paediatric patient presenting with a sixth cranial nerve palsy should have a comprehensive eye examination; 3) fulminant IIH can occur in patients with a normal body mass index; and 4) anaemia should be tested for in the setting of fulminant IIH. As little is known about the optimal treatment mechanisms for this presentation, multi-institutional and international collaborations will be a critical step for future research.

description: Most cases of optic neuritis (ON) occur in women and in patients between the ages of 15 and 45 years, which represents a key demographic of individuals who seek health information using the internet. As clinical providers strive to ensure patients have accessible information to understand their condition, assessing the standard of online resources is essential. To assess the quality, content, accountability, and readability of online information for optic neuritis. This cross-sectional study analyzed 11 freely available medical sites with information on optic neuritis and used PubMed as a gold standard for comparison. Twelve questions were composed to include the information most relevant to patients, and each website was independently examined by four neuro-ophthalmologists. Readability was analyzed using an online readability tool. Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) benchmarks, four criteria designed to assess the quality of health information further were used to evaluate the accountability of each website. Freely available online information. On average, websites scored 27.98 (SD ± 9.93, 95% CI 24.96–31.00) of 48 potential points (58.3%) for the twelve questions. There were significant differences in the comprehensiveness and accuracy of content across websites (p < .001). The mean reading grade level of websites was 11.90 (SD ± 2.52, 95% CI 8.83–15.25). Zero websites achieved all four JAMA benchmarks. Interobserver reliability was robust between three of four neuro-ophthalmologist (NO) reviewers (ρ = 0.77 between NO3 and NO2, ρ = 0.91 between NO3 and NO1, ρ = 0.74 between NO2 and NO1; all p < .05). The quality of freely available online information detailing optic neuritis varies by source, with significant room for improvement. The material presented is difficult to interpret and exceeds the recommended reading level for health information. Most websites reviewed did not provide comprehensive information regarding non-therapeutic aspects of the disease. Ophthalmology organizations should be encouraged to create content that is more accessible to the general public.
