description: Actions taken by governments to counteract the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic led to profound restrictions in daily lives, especially for adolescents and young adults, with closed schools and universities, travel restrictions, and reduction in social contacts. The purpose of the current study is to investigate the development of life satisfaction with assessments before and during the pandemic, including separate measurement occasions during a strict lockdown and when the implemented restrictions were relaxed again. Data are based on the German Personality Panel (GePP) with 1,920 young adults, assessed on four measurement occasions over a period of three years. Using latent change score modeling, we investigate the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic with respect to its perception as a critical life event over time. Further, we examine the influence of self-efficacy on change in life-satisfaction, as the belief in one’s innate abilities has been shown to promote health related behavior and buffers against effects of negatively perceived critical life events. While average life satisfaction remained stable across time, we found a main effect of perceived positive valence and self-efficacy on latent change in life satisfaction at the within person level. Expressions of self-efficacy did not moderate the influence of the perception of the pandemic on self-reported life satisfaction. This study provides an important contribution to the recent COVID-19 literature as well as to the debate on stability and change of self-reported life satisfaction.

description: Conventional agriculture has relied extensively on the use of fungicides to prevent or control crop diseases. However, some fungicides, particularly broad-spectrum fungicides, not only eliminate target pathogens but also non-target and beneficial soil microbes. This scenario is not only limited to agricultural soil, but this may also potentially occur when neighboring environments are contaminated by fungicides through spray drift. Although concentrations may be sub-lethal, the chemicals may accumulate in the soil when used continuously resulting in more toxic effects. In this study, the effect on the colony extension rate of 31 filamentous soil saprobic fungi, initially isolated from a protected grassland ecosystem, were analyzed under fungicide treatment. These isolates were considered naive (no deliberate exposure), hence presumed to have not developed resistance. Two currently used fungicides with different modes of action were added to Potato Dextrose Agar at varying concentrations. Results showed a wide range of tolerance and sensitivity to isopyrazam and prothioconazole. Fungi belonging to the phylum Basidiomycota were most negatively affected by both fungicides. Phylum Mucoromycota were the most tolerant to prothioconazole while isolates belonging to phylum Ascomycota differed in their responses to both fungicides. Negative effects on the growth rate were more pronounced at higher concentrations except for a few isolates that were inhibited at 1 mg·L−1. A slightly positive effect was also observed in three of the isolates under fungicide treatment. Lastly, the negative impact of fungicides was not associated with the growth strategy of the fungi, whether fast growing or slow growing, rather it is isolate-specific and phylogenetically conserved. The results of this study demonstrate that co-occurring fungi differ in their sensitivity to fungicides even without prior exposure. This difference in sensitivity among co-occurring fungi may result in shifts in community composition of the soil fungal community to the detriment of the more sensitive isolates.

description:     In contemporary discourse, the relationship between spirituality and governance is frequently framed in terms of an antagonism between religious beliefs and secular principles. However, this dichotomy overlooks the potential for spiritual philosophies, particularly those derived from Eastern traditions such as Hinduism and Buddhism, to inform and enhance modern governance. This article posits that integrating elements of spiritual philosophy into public policy can not only coexist with secularism but can also foster a more compassionate, sustainable, and community-oriented approach to governance. By examining the ways in which these philosophies can influence policy-making, we can illuminate pathways toward a more holistic and effective governance model.

description: In 2011, Beeler and Hoilman generalized the game of peg solitaire to arbitrary connected graphs. Since then peg solitaire has been considered on quite a few classes of graphs. Beeler and Gray introduced the natural idea of adding edges to make an unsolvable graph solvable. Recently, the graph invariant ms(G), which is the minimal number of additional edges needed to make G solvable, has been introduced and investigated on banana trees by the authors. In this article, we determine ms(G) for several families of unsolvable graphs. Furthermore, we provide some general results for this number of Hamiltonian graphs and graphs obtained via binary graph operations.

description: Even after the discovery of a Higgs boson fundamental questions of particle physics remain unanswered. Neither the origin of the baryon-antibaryon asymmetry of the universe, nor the nature of Dark Matter is understood. Two models of New Physics capable of addressing these problems are investigated here. In the first part of the thesis branching ratios for the decays of the lightest up-type squark in the Minimal Supersymmetric Extension of the Standard Model (MSSM) are calculated to high precision for scenarios with compressed supersymmetric spectra by including the finite width of the $W$ boson. These branching ratios affect the limits on the model which can be set by experiments. The second part concentrates on predictions of cross sections for squark gluino production in the MSSM. Spin correlations between the production and the decay of the gluino as well as next-to-leading order corrections are taken into account and a framework consistently treating both the production and the decay of the squark and the gluino in an event generator is elaborated. First results show that the impact of spin correlations on differential cross sections is considerable. In the last part the electroweak phase transition is investigated in the Two-Higgs-Doublet Model by analyzing the loop-corrected effective potential at finite temperature. Based on the development of a new renormalization prescription an effective scan over the parameter space of the model is performed. The results show that demanding a strong first order phase transition, as required for baryogenesis, leads to strong constraints on collider observables.

description: While European wild roses are abundant and widely distributed, their morphological taxonomy is complicated and ambiguous. In particular, the polyploid Rosa section Caninae (dogroses) is characterised by its unusual meiosis, causing simultaneous clonal and sexual transmission of sub-genomes. This hemisexual reproduction, which often co-occurs with vegetative reproduction, defies the standard definition of species boundaries. We analysed seven highly polymorphic microsatellite loci, scored for over 2 600 Rosa samples of differing ploidy, collected across Europe within three independent research projects. Based on their morphology, these samples had been identified as belonging to 21 dogrose and five other native rose species. We quantified the degree of clonality within species and at individual sampling sites. We then compared the genetic structure within our data to current rose morpho-systematics and searched for hemisexually co-inherited sets of alleles at individual loci. We found considerably fewer copies of identical multi-locus genotypes in dogroses than in roses with regular meiosis, with some variation recorded among species. While clonality showed no detectable geographic pattern, some genotypes appeared to be more widespread. Microsatellite data confirmed the current classification of subsections, but they did not support most of the generally accepted dogrose microspecies. Under canina meiosis, we found co-inherited sets of alleles as expected, but could not distinguish between sexually and clonally inherited sub-genomes, with only some of the detected allele combinations being lineage-specific.

description: The diterpenoid paclitaxel (Taxol) is a chemotherapy medication widely used as a first-line treatment against several types of solid cancers. The supply of paclitaxel from natural sources is limited. However, missing knowledge about the genes involved in several specific metabolic steps of paclitaxel biosynthesis has rendered it difficult to engineer the full pathway. In this study, we used a combination of transcriptomics, cell biology, metabolomics, and pathway reconstitution to identify the complete gene set required for the heterologous production of paclitaxel. We identified the missing steps from the current model of paclitaxel biosynthesis and confirmed the activity of most of the missing enzymes via heterologous expression in Nicotiana benthamiana. Notably, we identified a new C4β-C20 epoxidase that could overcome the first bottleneck of metabolic engineering. We used both previously characterized and newly identified oxomutases/epoxidases, taxane 1β-hydroxylase, taxane 9α-hydroxylase, taxane 9α-dioxygenase, and phenylalanine-CoA ligase, to successfully biosynthesize the key intermediate baccatin III and to convert baccatin III into paclitaxel in N. benthamiana. In combination, these approaches establish a metabolic route to taxoid biosynthesis and provide insights into the unique chemistry that plants use to generate complex bioactive metabolites.

description: Using various techniques from dynamical systems theory, we rigorously study an experimentally validated model by [Barkley et al 2015 Nature 526 550–3], which describes the rise of turbulent pipe flow via a PDE system of reduced complexity. The fast evolution of turbulence is governed by reaction-diffusion dynamics coupled to the centerline velocity, which evolves with advection of Burgers’ type and a slow relaminarization term. Applying to this model a spatial dynamics ansatz and geometric singular perturbation theory, we prove the existence of a heteroclinic loop between a turbulent and a laminar steady state and establish a cascade of bifurcations of various traveling waves mediating the transition to turbulence. The most complicated behaviour can be found in an intermediate Reynolds number regime, where the traveling waves exhibit arbitrarily long periodic-like dynamics indicating the onset of chaos. Our analysis provides a systematic mathematical approach to identifying the transition to spatio–temporal turbulent structures that may also be applicable to other models arising in fluid dynamics.

description: This paper seeks to fill a gap in the literature on frontier market economies (FMEs) with the following two research questions: (i) Which are the drivers of FMEs’ integration into financial globalisation? (ii) What explains the greater vulnerability of FMEs compared to emerging market economies (EMEs) to global financial shocks? We argue that the emergence of FMEs as a new group of the financial periphery fills a vacuum left for global investors by the major EMEs, whose spreads declined in the past decade due to high foreign currency reserve accumulation and other EME-related factors. To answer the second question, we introduce the concept of financial hierarchy as a second layer of the currency hierarchy: while the currency hierarchy is organized by the different degrees of liquidity premia currencies offer, in the financial hierarchy, not currencies, but financial assets are placed according to the nominal yield. While FMEs’ currencies have a lower liquidity premium than those of EMEs, the difference between them is not vast – as both are not accepted at the international level – and are insufficient to explain FMEs’ greater vulnerability to external financial shocks. We argue in the paper that this vulnerability stems mainly from the position of FMEs’ at the bottom of the financial hierarchy, which results in a different pattern of international financial integration.

description: Zirconia-based ceramics are promising host matrices for the immobilization of radionuclides in high-level waste streams due to their high radiation resistance and chemical stability. This study explores coprecipitation and different solid-state synthesis techniques to produce phase-pure zirconia-based ceramics with varying cerium and neodymium co-doping. Varying the dopant concentration enabled the synthesis of zirconates with monoclinic, cubic defect fluorite, and cubic pyrochlore structures. Powder X-ray diffraction was used for phase identification. In the case of coprecipitation, all synthesized compositions were predominantly phase-pure. Solid-state synthesis techniques included manual mixing of metal oxide powders with mortar and pestle, mechanical mixing in a ball mill, and magnetic mixing in a slurry. All solid-state mixing methods produced heterogeneous ceramics, featuring multiple phases, with manual mixing yielding the most phase-pure product. Extending the grinding time, re-sintering of the solid phases, and an increased Nd content were found to enhance the phase purity.

description: Objective There is limited knowledge regarding the safety and accuracy of ultrasound-guided retrobulbar nerve blocks in horses. The aim of this study was to compare these parameters between blind and ultrasound-guided injection techniques for the dorsal retrobulbar nerve block in horses. Methods Equine cadaver heads were used to inject the retrobulbar space with contrast medium (CM). Injections were performed either blindly based on anatomic landmarks (blind group, n = 44) or under ultrasonographic guidance (US-group, n = 44), equally divided between an experienced and unexperienced operator. Needle position and distribution of CM were assessed with computed tomography imaging and evaluated by a board-certified veterinary diagnostic imager blinded to the technique. Safety and accuracy of both techniques were compared. Results Ocular penetration was observed in two cases (n = 2/44) in the blind group but not in the US group (n = 0/44). No intrathecal, intraneural, or intravascular injections were seen in either group. Safety was significantly improved in the US group (p = .026). There was no statistically significant difference between the groups regarding the accuracy of the injection. Excellent accuracy was achieved more often with the ultrasound-guided technique (n = 11/22) than with the blind technique (n = 7/22) when performed by the unexperienced operator, but this difference was not statistically significant. Conclusion To prevent globe-threatening complications and improve the safety of the injection, we recommend using the ultrasound-guided injection technique for the dorsal retrobulbar nerve block.

description: The microbial composition of host-associated microbiomes is influenced by co-evolutionary interactions, host genetics, domestication, and the environment. This study investigates the contribution of environmental microbiota from freshwater bodies to the gastrointestinal microbiomes of wild khulans ( Equus hemionus hemionus , n  = 21) and compares them with those of captive khulans ( n  = 12) and other equids—Przewalski’s horse ( n  = 82) and domestic horse ( n  = 26). Using PacBio technology and the LotuS pipeline for 16S rRNA gene sequencing, we analyze microbial diversity and conduct differential abundance, alpha, and beta diversity analyses. Results indicate limited microbial sharing between wild khulans and their waterhole environments, suggesting minimal environmental influence on their gut microbiomes and low levels of water contamination by khulans. Wild khulans exhibit greater microbial diversity and richness compared to captive ones, likely due to adaptations to the harsh nutritional conditions of the Gobi desert. Conversely, captive khulans show reduced microbial diversity, potentially affected by dietary changes during captivity. These findings highlight the significant impact of environment and lifestyle on the gut microbiomes of equids.

A distortion of the cheralite structure with respect to the monazite structure was observed throughout both solid solutions as evidenced by a deviation of the lattice parameters from the linear behaviour known from other monazite solid solutions. Using a high temperature flux method, cheralite single crystals were grown for the first time for in-depth structural investigations.

description: Maula and Chichiri, two central prisons in Malawi, currently hold 2770 and 1870 inmates respectively, over 340% of their intended capacities. In 2014 MSF introduced a comprehensive package within these prisons, using measures on entry, stay and exit, to prevent, screen, diagnose and treat HIV and tuberculosis (TB), and other health conditions. Since 2015, interventions for patients with suspected TB have included symptomatic screening, followed by MTB/RIF GeneXpert and/or sputum microscopy. In 2017 MSF, working together with Challenge TB, carried out a mass campaign using digital X-ray as an additional screening tool. This study aims to assess how TB case-finding changed between 2014 and 2017, and to determine factors associated with developing TB disease whilst in prison.

description: In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the German government took drastic measures and ordered the temporary closure of early childhood education and care services (apart from emergency care). Most pedagogical professionals in early childhood education and care (ECEC) settings were unable to provide institutional care for children during this period, and thus experienced difficulties fulfilling their legally mandated professional obligation to educate children. Building on the importance of professional–parent collaboration, this study investigates the reasons ECEC professionals gave for (not) being in contact with parents during the pandemic. The database comprises a nationwide survey conducted between April and May 2020 (n = 2,560 ECEC professionals). The results show that the vast majority of respondents were in contact with parents; their stated motives include providing informational or emotional support for parents and children, maintaining a relationship, or inquiring about family wellbeing. The explanations for not being in contact with parents include already existing contact with parents by another member of the ECEC staff, an employer-mandated contact ban, problems on the parents’ side, or personal reasons. We find some differences between managers in center-based childcare, pedagogical employes in center-based childcare, and professionals in family based childcare. Practical implications concerning professional–parent collaboration and the temporary closure of ECEC services are discussed.

description: Alternatives to conventional chicken meat and egg production are increasingly under discussion, especially because of the common practice of killing male day-old chicks from laying lines which has been banned from the beginning of 2022 in Germany and is planned to be banned during 2022 in other countries. Production of dual-purpose chicken lines is one possible solution, as such lines combine moderate laying and growth performance. The microbiological status of products from such breeds must be comparable to existing products on the market for food safety purposes. Additionally, the production of such products will take longer because of the feeding regimes required, and again, comparability should be safeguarded for the best consumer protection. The dual-purpose chicken line, Lohmann Dual (males), was compared to males from the laying line Lohmann Brown Plus, conventional laying hens (all slaughtered and processed in the same conventional laying hen abattoir), and conventional broilers (slaughtered in a conventional broiler abattoir). Neck skin samples were taken before chilling at the end of each slaughter line to determine the microbial status of the carcasses. Additionally, fresh and cooked meat sensory analysis was performed on meat from broilers and male and female Lohmann Dual and Lohmann Brown Plus chickens (for three carcasses of each group) at the German Agricultural Society Test Center in Kassel. The focus was on the performance of male Lohmann Dual compared to the other lines. There was no difference in the Enterobacteriaceae count of the dual-purpose chicken line compared to conventional broilers, whereas laying hens had a significantly higher microbial load before chilling, as based on neck skin examinations (p<0.001). According to sensory test results, the meat from dual-purpose chickens was the best (as no defects were found) among the five chicken meat types examined. In conclusion, based on their microbial status and sensory analysis of fresh and cooked meat, Lohmann Dual males slaughtered in a laying hen abattoir can be considered as an alternative to conventionally kept broilers slaughtered in a broiler abattoir.

description: Modification of proteins with a broad range of chemical functionalities enables the investigation of protein structure and activity by manipulating polypeptides at single amino acid resolution. Indeed, various functional groups including bulky non-canonical amino acids like strained cyclooctenes could be introduced by the unique features of the binding pocket of the double mutant pyrrolysyl-tRNA synthetase (Y306A, Y384F), but the instable nature of the enzyme limits its application in vivo. Here, we constructed a cell-free protein production system, which increased the overall enzyme stability by combining different reaction compartments. Moreover, a co-expression approach in a one-pot reaction allowed straightforward site-specific fluorescent labeling of the functional complex membrane protein cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator. Our work provides a versatile platform for introducing various non-canonical amino acids into difficult-to-express proteins for structural and fluorescence based investigation of proteins activity.

description: The title reaction is studied using a quasi-classical trajectory method for collision energies between 0.1 meV and 10 eV, considering the vibrational excitation of H+2 reactant. A new potential energy surface is developed based on a Neural Network many body correction of a triatomics-in-molecules potential, which significantly improves the accuracy of the potential up to energies of 17 eV, higher than in other previous fits. The effect of the fit accuracy and the non-adiabatic transitions on the dynamics are analysed in detail. The reaction cross section for collision energies above 1 eV increases significantly with the increasing of the vibrational excitation of H+2(v'), for values up to v'=6. The total reaction cross section (including the double fragmentation channel) obtained for v'=6 matches the new experimental results obtained by Savic, Schlemmer and Gerlich [Chem. Phys. Chem. 21 (13), 1429.1435 (2020). doi:10.1002/cphc.v21.13]. The differences among several experimental setups, for collision energies above 1 eV, showing cross sections scattered/dispersed over a rather wide interval, can be explained by the differences in the vibrational excitations obtained in the formation of H+2 reactants. On the contrary, for collision energies below 1 eV, the cross section is determined by the long range behaviour of the potential and do not depend strongly on the vibrational state of H+2. In addition in this study, the calculated reaction cross sections are used in a plasma model and compared with previous results. We conclude that the efficiency of the formation of H+3 in the plasma is affected by the potential energy surface used.

description: In nanoscale superconductors spin and heat currents are coupled in the presence of a spin-splitting field. This leads to large thermoelectric effects in a ferromagnet/superconductor tunnel junction, where the electron-hole symmetry is broken due to the spin polarization of the junction. This thesis presents the first experimental observations of thermoelectric current in such a junction.
