description: The general feasibility of chimerization of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) has already been shown for a large number ofthem. In order to evaluate in vitro parameters relevant to immunosuppressive therapy, we have chimerized and synthesizedtwo anti-CD4 mAbs recognizing two different epitopes on the human T-lymphocyte antigen, CD4. The chimerized mAbsare produced at levels corresponding to those of the original hybridoma cell lines. With respect to activation of humancomplement, the individual Abs are negative; however, when used in combination, complement activation was performed.When applied in combination, they were found to modulate the CD4 antigen, whereas the individual mAb do not displaythis property. Individually they mediate an up to 60% inhibition of the mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR). However, bycombination of an anti-CD4 mAb with one directed against the a-chain of the human IL2 receptor, nearly 100% inhibitionof the MLR was achieved, even with reduced dosage of the mAbs. Our data suggest that the combination of an anti-CD4mAb and an anti-IL2Rcc chain mAb is more effective with respect to immunosuppression than each mAb by itself, indicatingthat this mAb cocktail could be a new strategy for immunosuppressive therapy.
The characteristics of software engineering managers

description: This thesis is an analytical study that investigates the characteristics of software engineering managers, their training, and their background, and relates these factors to their effectiveness. This thesis develops and uses two questionnaires to collect the necessary data from entry level managers and their subordinates. A portion of the questionnaires is the Keirsey Temperament Sorter, which is an implementation of the Jung theory of type. This thesis concludes from the collected data that software engineers promoted into supervisory positions lack needed training to perform their jobs effectively. This thesis further concludes that there are differences in the personality type of software engineers and software engineering managers.Chairperson: Nanette Levinson.
The political philosophy of Plato and Al-Farabi: "The Republic" and "The Virtuous City"
Creators: name: Al-Mudhareb, Abdulraazzaq A.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Al-Farabi's political theory is a mixture of Platonic and Aristotelian elements. Man, according to Al-Farabi, is political by nature, and he attains his happiness within the ideal state, as Plato had thought. According to Al-Farabi, society is either perfect or imperfect. Perfect society is of three kinds: the highest, the intermediate, and the lowest. Imperfect society also is of three kinds: the village, the suburb of a city, and the home. Finally, Al-Farabi does not copy from Plato. He never sought to take all of Plato's views and never confined himself to just what he did take from Plato. But no doubt he was influenced by Plato greatly in his interest in politics and with the framework.

description: Additive manufacturing (AM) of hydrogels has gained increasing interest across various fields. Drop-on-demand (DOD) printing (also known as inkjet printing) shows the great potential to construct 3D hydrogels with spatially controlled properties and compositions. However, a limited mechanistic understanding of the behavior of printed polymer drops makes it challenging to design and optimize DOD printing protocols for a wide variety of hydrogels. Here, we have demonstrated an extensive and in-depth study from the theoretical and experimental research of drop-wise structure to the development of functional materials by DOD printing of polymer inks. First, computational and experimental studies are performed to establish a mechanism of the water-matrix interaction within printed polymer drops. The results ultimately enabled a dimensionless parameter that characterizes water transport during the dehydration process of printed polymer drops. Next, as particles are suspended in polymer inks to add functionality, this dimensionless parameter was further extended to characterize particle movement and distribution patterns in the printed particle-laden hydrogels. By correlating the intra-drop particle distribution to the similarity parameter, a scaling law is confirmed to guide ink formulation and printing protocol that enables advanced materials with spatially digitized functionality (i.e., digital hydrogels). Finally, cells that serve as active particles are embedded in the hydrogels to mimic the native tissues. A "digital cell printing" method based on DOD printing of "two colors" cell-laden (i.e., cancer cells and CAFs) polymer inks is developed to rapidly (< 1 day) create 3D tumor models with tumor-stroma interface (i.e., tumoroids) and high cell density (~108 cells/cm3) that closely recapitulate the tumor microenvironment in vivo. Overall, DOD printing of particulate-laden polymer inks showed the great potential to construct 3D functional hydrogels with spatially controlled properties and compositions.

description: We use MasterCode to perform a frequentist analysis of the constraints on a phenomenological MSSM model with 11 parameters, the pMSSM11, including constraints from ~ 36/fb of LHC data at 13 TeV and PICO, XENON1T and PandaX-II searches for dark matter scattering, as well as previous accelerator and astrophysical measurements, presenting fits both with and without the $(g-2)_{\mu}$ constraint. The pMSSM11 is specified by the following parameters: 3 gaugino masses $M_{1,2,3}$, a common mass for the first-and second-generation squarks $m_{\tilde{q}}$ and a distinct third-generation squark mass $m_{\tilde{q}_3}$, a common mass for the first-and second-generation sleptons $m_{\tilde l}$ and a distinct third-generation slepton mass $m_{\tilde \tau}$, a common trilinear mixing parameter $A$, the Higgs mixing parameter $\mu$, the pseudoscalar Higgs mass $M_A$ and $\tan\beta$. In the fit including $(g-2)_{\mu}$, a Bino-like $\tilde\chi^0_1$ is preferred, whereas a Higgsino-like $\tilde \chi^0_1$ is favoured when the $(g-2)_{\mu}$ constraint is dropped. We identify the mechanisms that operate in different regions of the pMSSM11 parameter space to bring the relic density of the lightest neutralino, $\tilde\chi^0_1$, into the range indicated by cosmological data. In the fit including $(g-2)_{\mu}$, coannihilations with $\tilde \chi^0_2$ and the Wino-like $\tilde\chi^{\pm}_1$ or with nearly-degenerate first- and second-generation sleptons are favoured, whereas coannihilations with the $\tilde \chi^0_2$ and the Higgsino-like $\tilde\chi^{\pm}_1$ or with first- and second-generation squarks may be important when the $(g-2)_{\mu}$ constraint is dropped. Prospects remain for discovering strongly-interacting sparticles at the LHC as well as for discovering electroweakly-interacting sparticles at a future linear $e^+ e^-$ collider such as the ILC or CLIC.

description: An intrasubject multiple baseline design was used to assess the efficacy of assertiveness training with 4 autistic adults. Four assertive behaviors (asking for help, refusing requests, stating disagreements, and expressing complaints) were trained by employing written and oral instructions, modeling, role play, feedback, and social reinforcement. Subjects practiced verbal and nonverbal assertive behaviors to role play situations. Generalization was encouraged by including an overview of each assertive behavior, training with two trainers in several different locations, programming common stimuli across the training and generalization environments, and using written instructions. Two blind raters evaluated the subjects' videotaped responses to training and generalization role plays and verbatim responses to real life situations. The results demonstrate that the training package is an effective technique for teaching assertive skills to autistic adults. However, generalization to novel role plays was variable and generalization to real life situations did not occur.

The Failures of U.S. Policy in Afghanistan and the Lessons Learned
Creators: name: Schurter, Heidi
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: The stated goal of U.S. policy in Afghanistan is to create a stable and secure country. My thesis aims to prove that U.S. policy has failed to accomplish this because it attempted to do too much in a disorganized and uncoordinated manner and without prioritization. The mission for too long lacked "unity of effort" and failed to determine an all-encompassing end-goal. The varying actors did not coordinate their efforts between themselves, nor did they coordinate with the Afghans themselves. U.S. policy did not adequately prepare Afghanistan to assume responsibility after transition. It failed to build Afghan capacity and has thus failed to create a stable and secure country. My thesis will argue that these are the reasons behind U.S. policy failure in Afghanistan, but will also consider what lessons the international community and the U.S. have learned from them and what improvements in policy have been made since.

description: Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) is considered an autoimmune disease characterized by destruction of small intrahepaticbile ducts by lymphocytes. Altered functions of these lymphocytes might reflect an abnormal immune response leadingto tissue damage. We investigated lymphokine secretion by mitogen-stimulated T lymphocytes from the liver biopsiesof patients with PBC and for comparison also peripheral blood. In PBC, diminished synthesis of lymphotoxin (TNFP),tumor necrosis factor (TNFa) and interferon-y (IFIVy) was found both in T-cell lines from liver tissue and in peripheralblood. The reduction was most prominent for TNFP in early histological stages of PBC, and appeared to be a stablephenomenon when T cells were tested after long-term tissue culture. Analysis of mRNA levels indicates a possible linkbetween reduced TNFP production and a defect in interleukin-2 transcription. The data suggest that diminishedlymphokine production in patients with PBC may play ;In important role in the immanopathogenesis of this disease.

description: In dieser Bachelor-Arbeit wird aufgezeigt, wie die Soziokulturelle Animation in Gruppen Lernprozesse fördern kann. In den Handlungsfeldern der Soziokulturellen Animation gibt es zahlreiche Lernfelder. Diese werden in Praxis und Theorie der Animation aber nur selten thematisiert. In dieser Bachelor-Arbeit werden exemplarisch Praxisbeispiele erläutert, um die Arbeit mit Gruppen und mögliche Lernprozesse darin zu illustrieren. Lernprozesse werden erklärt sowie Möglichkeiten aufgezeigt, wie diese unterstützt werden können. Gruppen sind eine Lernumgebung, welche in der soziokulturellen Praxis alltäglich ist. Der Gruppenprozess und die Gruppenstruktur werden deshalb auf Lernchancen hin überprüft. Schlussendlich werden die Erkenntnisse auf die Soziokulturelle Animation übertragen und Handlungsanleitungen gegeben. Die Soziokulturelle Animation kann mit Hilfe von Lernprozessen Menschen bei der Bewältigung des gesellschaftlichen Wandels unterstützen. Die Autorenschaft fordert deshalb, dass sich die Animation vermehrt auf informelle Lernprozesse ausrichtet und zeigt auf, wie dabei vorzugehen ist. Damit die Lernprozesse später auch nutzbar sind, müssen sie reflektiert werden. Dazu müssen sie von den Fachpersonen in die Planung, die Durchführung und die Evaluation von Interventionen miteinbezogen werden. Hier bietet die vorliegende Bachelor-Arbeit nicht nur Überlegungshilfen für die Vorbereitung, sondern auch Methodenvorschläge für das Arrangieren von Lernfeldern. Wie Lernprozesse gemessen und nachgewiesen werden können, ist jedoch nach wie vor eine offene Frage.

description: Hecuba, die Gattin des Priamus nimmt im trojanischen Sagenkreis eine wichtige, wenn auch bisher nicht unbedingt hinreichend beachtete Rolle ein. Als trojanische Königin und Mutter vieler Kinder wird sie zumeist in den verschiedenen Troja-Schriften eingeführt. Gegenstand der vorliegenden Arbeit sind die Ilias, die Ἑκάβη, die Aeneis, die Metamorphosen, die Ephe-meris belli Troiani des Dictys Cretensis, die De excidio Troiae historia des Dares Phrygius und das anonyme Excidium Troiae untersucht werden. Während die episch-tragische Hecuba der Ilias, der Tragödie, der Aeneis und der Metamorphosen ähnliche Züge aufweist, wird ihr Charakter in dem als Historiografien getarnten Pseudo-Augenberichten und im anonymen Excidium Troiae, das allerdings eine mythologische Betrachtungsweise verfolgt, abgeändert. Die untersuchten Werke sind unterschiedlichen literarischen Genera zuzuordnen: dem Epos, der Tragödie, dem Schwindelroman bzw. dem „historischen“ Bericht. Die verschiedenen Gattungen bewirken unterschiedliche Hecuba-Darstellungen, die sich aber dennoch durch gewisse Gemeinsamkeiten in ihrer Charakteristik auszeichnen. Die Trauer um den Verlust ihrer Kinder, ihrer Leibesfrucht, lässt Hecuba aus ihrer passiven Rolle schlüpfen und zur aktiv Handelnden, die ihr Leid nicht mehr tatenlos erdulden kann, werden. Während ihr Agieren unterschiedliche Konsequenzen mit sich bringt, ist ihr Motiv, Rache zu üben, stets dasselbe: Sie will der Quelle ihres Unglücks dasselbe Leid zufügen, das sie ertragen muss. Eine etwas andere Darstellung erfährt Hecuba in der Aeneis, in der sie vorwiegend Mahnerin für Aeneas zu sein hat und in der Ephemeris, in der sie sich von Beginn an durch frevelhafte Charakterzüge auszeichnet. Die vorliegende Diplomarbeit untersucht Troja-Darstellungen der griechischen und römischen Literatur der Antike, die vermutlich einen Zeitraum zwischen dem 8. Jh. v. Chr. und dem 6. Jh. n. Chr. erfassen. Die Charakteristik der Hecuba wird durch wichtige Textpassagen in ihrem Kontext erschlossen, wobei zunächst intratextuelle Bezüge Gegenstand der Betrachtung sein werden. In intertextueller Interpretation werden die gewonnen Kenntnisse miteinander verglichen. Soweit es zu einem besseren Verständnis der bearbeiteten Stellen beiträgt, werden die Personen in Hecubas Umgebung untersucht und deren Verhalten inter-pretiert. In jedem Kapitel findet sich eine Einleitung, die entweder grundsätzlich die Ausgestaltung der Sequenz thematisiert oder den Autor, soweit dieser bekannt ist, und das Werk vorstellt. In Form eines Résumés werden die aus den Textstellen gewonnenen Kenntnisse zusammen-gefasst. Die Schlussbetrachtung führt die wichtigsten Ergebnisse aller Kapitel zusammen und vergleicht die Charakteristik der Hecuba in den unterschiedlichen Troja-Darstellungen miteinander.

description: Helichrysum arenarium, Gelbes Katzenpfötchen findet volksmedizinische Verwendung für eine breite Palette an Indikationen, vor allem bei Verdauungsbeschwerden. Aus diesen Gründen beschloss die Expertengruppe des Österreichischen Arzneibuches die Gelbe Katzenpfötchenblüten monographisch ins Arzneibuch aufzunehmen. Die Ausarbeitung dieser Monographie war Aufgabestellung der vorliegenden Diplomarbeit. Es wurde versucht charakteristische makro-, mikroskopische sowie chemische Merkmale der Pflanze zu erarbeiten um dadurch eine eindeutige Identifikation zu ermöglichen. Die für die Monographie erforderlichen Prüfungen auf Identität, Reinheit und Gehalt wurden an die Ph.Eur. angeglichen. Die erhaltenen Ergebnisse dienten als Grundlage für die vorgeschlagenen Grenzwerte in der ÖAB-Monographie „Helichrysi Flos“. Um eventuelle Verfälschungen auszuschließen, wurden die nah verwandten H. stoechas und Gnaphalium luteoalbum ebenfalls genauer untersucht. Die Unterscheidung von G. luteoalbum von H. arenarium ist aufgrund der fehlenden Behaarung des Fruchtknotens und der charkateristischen Ausbildung der Pappusstrahlendregion leicht möglich. H. stoechas ist nach dem momentanigen Stand der Untersuchungen nur beim Vorliegen ganzer Körbchen makroskopisch sowei phytochemisch von H. arenarium sicher zu unterscheiden.
description: Sandy everlasting is used in the folk medicine, especially in the treatment of indigestion. For this reason the expert group of the Austrian Pharmacopoeia decided to take up the Sandy everlasting flowers into the Pharmacopoeia. The task of this diploma thesis was the composition of this monograph. Therefore, characteristic macroscopic, microscopic as well as chemical plant attributes have been investigated in order to enable unambiguous identification of the plant. Therefore the required examinations in respect to identity, purity and content were adapted to the Ph. Eur. The obtained results are the basis fort he recommended limits for the ÖAB monography „ Helichrysi Flos “. In order to be able to exclude possible adulterations, the related H. stoechas and G. luteoalbum was also investigated. The distinction of G. luteoalbum from H. arenarium is easily possible due to the lack of pubescence of the ovary.

description: This dissertation is composed of four self-contained chapters and complements the recent stream of literature that tries to integrate short-run business cycle fluctuations and long-run technological progress. It therefore adds endogenous technological progress to otherwise standard real business cycle models and takes a look on the longer-run implications of classical business cycle shocks. The first chapter analyses how matching efficiency shocks affect the firm's innovation decision. It is noted that the slowdown in TFP growth during the Great Recession was accompanied by an outward shift in the Beveridge Curve, which is typically thought to be induced by a strong decline in matching efficiency during this time. It is argued that this outward shift in the Beveridge Curve was a major contributor to the slowdown in endogenous TFP growth. The second chapter deals with the longer-run effects of inflation target shocks. If the inflation target is increased, the economy experiences a period of adjustment to the new long-run inflation rate. In a Newkeynesian model, price markups decrease during this period and thus the gain of innovation. The empirical assessment of the model shows that longer-run changes in the inflation target due to inflation target shocks reduce technological progress. The third chapter takes a look at monetary policy and stock market shocks from a more econometric point of view. It is argued that neither short- nor long-run restrictions can be used to identify the SVAR here. A partly recursive, partly data-driven identification scheme to solve this identification problem is proposed and monetary policy shocks are found to have an instantaneous and long-run negative effect on stock prices and output. The fourth chapter examines the effect of true news and noise on technological progress in an SVAR. It is assumed that stock prices and research spending contain information regarding news, while researchers have an informational advantage concerning the truth of research related news. The main result is that true news shocks lead to an immediate increase in research spending and stock prices, while noise shocks that induce the same stock price reaction are associated with a much more cautious response in research spending and a weaker effect on stock prices.
title: "Ästhetik des Schwebens" in H. C. Artmanns "Allerleirausch- neue schöne Kinderreime" (1965-1967)
Creators: name: Pifeas, Danae
Year: 2013

description: Das Erkenntnisinteresse dieser Arbeit richtet darauf, H. C. Artmanns Ästhetik anhand der Reimsammlung Allerleirausch- Neue schöne Kinderreime (1965-67) zu beschreiben. Dazu werden im ersten Teil neben der Gestaltung und medialen Wahrnehmung der verschiedenen Auflagen auch sozio-kulturelle Strukturen, als Parallelen zur Kinderlyrik um 1970 sowie zu traditionellem überlieferten Kulturgut sichtbar gemacht. Neben romantischen Tendenzen und postmodernen Ansätzen, werden besonders im zweiten Teil der Arbeit weitere Zugänge über ein metapoetologisches Gattungsmodell nach Seibert (2007), das zu Gunsten der Alogik ausgeweitet wurde, untersucht. Diese stellt im Zusammenhang mit der “alogischen Geste” und ihren nonverbalen Ansprüchen, die zur kognitiven Arbeit der RezipientInnen anregt, eine von vielen Grundtendenzen in Artmanns Werk dar. Daran anknüpfend wird H. C. Artmanns Zugang zu Sprachspielen gezeigt, die sich unter anderem an der Dekonstruktion von Begriffen und Namen festmachen lassen. Durch seine Entgrenzung von Stilen und Gattungen entsteht eine große Bandbreite an Leseweisen, die seine Poetik charakterisieren. Diese Arbeit versteht sich daher als Annäherung und Aufzeigemöglichkeit von verschiedenen Herangehensweisen, die zur literaturgeschichtlichen und ästhetischen Erschließung von H. C. Artmanns Texten beitragen soll.
title: Profit Shifting by Multinationals and the Ownership Share: Evidence from European Micro Data

description: We provide indirect empirical evidence of profit shifting behavior by multinational enterprises (MNEs) employing a panel study for the years 1995 to 2005, while controlling for unobservable fixed firm effects. We use a large micro database of European MNEs which includes detailed accounting and ownership information. Our results show a strongly negative relationship between an affiliated company's statutory corporate tax rate difference to its foreign parent firm and the affiliate's gross profits. Quantitatively, a 10 percentage points decrease in thetax rate of the affiliate (relative to the parent) increases its pre-tax profitability by 7%, other things being equal. Various robustness checks support this profit shifting inference. Furthermore, we provide evidence that a higher parent's ownership share of its subsidiary leads to intensified shifting activities between these two affiliates.

description: The present study investigated the psychological and behavioral impact of the AIDS epidemic upon both tested and untested gay men. Relationships among HIV status, psychological distress, attributions of responsibility and sexual behaviors were explored. Twenty-five asymptomatic HIV positive men, 55 HIV negative men and 114 men who chose not to take the HIV antibody test, completed anonymous self-report questionnaires. Uniformly high levels of psychological distress were found in all groups. Greater self-attributions of responsibility for current health were associated with lower levels of depression among HIV positive men and lower distress levels for test decliners. Beliefs that health is determined by powerful others were related to distress in seropositive subjects. Significant high risk reduction was observed in all groups. Tested subjects did not report greater risk reduction than untested subjects. Finally, predictors of sexual behavior frequencies were identified and implications for research and treatment were discussed.

title: Übersetzen fürs E-Commerce
Creators: name: Hariri, Susana
Year: 2013

description: In dieser Arbeit geht es um das Übersetzen fürs E-Commerce und die besonderen Gegebenheiten, die dabei zu beachten sind. Immer mehr Unternehmen sind im Web vertreten und vertreiben ihre Produkte und Dienstleistungen über diesen Kanal. Es tauchen auch immer mehr Unternehmen auf, deren Existenz alleine auf dem E-Commerce basieren. Wenn diese Unternehmen auf internationaler Ebene tätig werden, und das ist immer häufiger der Fall, entsteht ein Bedarf nach Kommunikationsexperten und –expertinnen, die für die Aufgabe der Übersetzung fürs Web und fürs E-Commerce entsprechend vorbereitet sind. In der vorliegenden Arbeit werden zunächst einige, für das Verständnis dieser Arbeit und im Umfelds des E-Commerce wichtige, Begriffe definiert. Danach werden die aktuelle Lage und die Internationalisierung des Handels thematisiert. Im Anschluss geht es um das Texten und Übersetzen fürs Web. Dabei wird nicht nur angesprochen, wie User und Userinnen im Web lesen, sondern es wird darauf basierend auch erläutert, wie Texte und Übersetzungen web-tauglich gestaltet werden sollten. Dabei werden sowohl sprachliche, inhaltliche als auch formale Aspekte behandelt und es werden einige wichtige Textbestandteile, wie Überschriften, URLs, Link und Call-to-Actions und deren Bedeutung für einen erfolgreichen Webauftritt unter die Lupe genommen. Auch das mobile Web wird fürs E-Commerce immer wichtiger und daher werden auch die Besonderheiten des Übersetzens für dieses Medium beleuchtet. Die Arbeit eines Übersetzers oder einer Übersetzerin im Bereich des E-Commerce ist meist eng an den Bereich Marketing geknüpft und es wird aus diesem Grund auch ein kurzer Einblick in das Thema des internationalen Marketings geboten. Danach wird der Frage nachgegangen, ob und wie translationswissenschaftliche Theorien, wie die Skopostheorie oder die Theorie des translatorischen Handels auf das Übersetzen fürs E-Commerce angewandt werden können. Im empirischen Teil der vorliegenden Masterarbeit werden Übersetzungen von E-Mails, Werbe-Banner und Website-Inhalten einiger Mode-Online-Shops analysiert und es wird gezeigt, wie wichtig professionelle Übersetzer und Übersetzerinnen für einen gelungenen und erfolgreichen Webauftritt auf einem ausländischen Markt sind.

Non-human models of human immunodeficiency virus

description: Transmission of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 and 2 (HIV-1, -2) to immortalized cell lines and primary cells from several non-human primates was attempted in vitro to establish target cell type and suitability of non-human primate species for in vivo inoculation. Based on these results, gibbon apes, rhesus monkeys and African green monkeys (AGM) were inoculated with HIV-1 or HIV-2. AGMs were not infected by HIV-1 or HIV-2 and some had only weak transient antibody responses. Gibbon apes were, however, readily infected by HIV-1 with strong antibody responses and varying degrees of clincal and immunohematological abnormalities. HIV-1-inoculated rhesus monkeys showed only serological responses, and suggestions of some other abnormalities in some animals. HIV-2 was found to infect rhesus monkeys with possible clinical effects but await further evaluation. While the gibbon ape is readily infected by HIV-1, it is an endangered species and thus unavailable for research. However, the rhesus monkey, infectable by HIV-2, could become an important model for human AIDS.
