description: Brain tumors account approximately for 20% of all childhood cancers and are characterized by a large diversity of morphological entities. The formation of abnormal, dysfunctional tumor vasculature and glioblastoma stem-like cells (GSCs) are believed to be the major components of the difficulty to treat these tumors effectively. Massive formation of blood vessels is one of the most important histological elements to determine the progression and histological grading of tumors. We hypothesized that an increased expression of TGF-β1 in tumor cells stimulates tumor neo-vascularization by mediating the secretion of relevant angiogenic factors via an autocrine mechanism. Expression of TGF-β in relation to VEGF and VEGF-receptors involved in angiogenesis and inflammation pathways was evaluated in pediatric patients with brain tumors and compared with normal tissues. Our results demonstrated that TGF-β1, VEGF-A and VEGF-RII were significantly related to the development and to the growth of glioblastoma. We can speculate that TGF-β1 and VEGF are involved in the cascade of the malignant progression of glioblastoma. These factors promote tumorigenesis and malignant progression of glioblastoma by a mechanism determining anti-apoptotic, angiogenetic and invasive behaviour of the tumor cells. Basing on our experimental data, we propose that VEGF may be the double promoter responsible not only for the tumor vessels, but also for the tumor stem cells [1]. Our data demonstrate that GSCs in association with high levels of VEGF-A and TGF-β play a key role in the development of the tumor vascularization acting on endothelial cells differentiation.

description: Choline is involved in important neurochemical processes. It is a precursor and metabolite of acetylcholine and plays a pivotal role in single-carbon metabolism and it is a fundamental constituent of membrane phospholipids such as phosphatidylcholine. The role of choline and its precursors (e.g. choline alphoscerate, GPC) was recently investigated in experimental endotoxic shock. The obtained results suggest that these molecules may be useful in the treatment of endotoxemia/sepsis. On the other hand, a neuroprotective effect of choline precursors is well-documented and these actions may be related to their activity on inflammatory processes. Based on these findings, the present study was designed to evaluate the effects of choline and GPC in inflammatory processes modulation in the rat brain. Male Wistar rats were treated orally with choline, and GPC at choline-equivalent doses for 2 weeks or were left untreated. After this period, the brains were processed for Western blot analysis and immunohistochemistry. Inflammatory cytokines (IL1, IL6, and TNF) and endothelial inflammatory markers (ICAM-1, and VCAM-1) were studied in different cerebral areas (frontal cortex, hippocampus and cerebellum). Treatment with choline or GPC has not influenced the expression of the inflammatory markers investigated in the brain areas examined. Hence, in this non-pathologic model, GPC, in spite of its neuroprotective effects [1,2], probably does not change or modulate brain inflammatory processes.

description: Articular cartilage is an avascular tissue without innervations, characterized by low cell density and abundant extracellular matrix (ECM). These characteristics leave articular cartilage with very limited capacity of repair and regeneration. Multipotent stem/stromal cells (MSC) are considered promising for cartilage tissue engineering. Stem cells are resided in a special microenvironment known as the stem-cell niche, characterized by the presence of low oxygen concentration. Previous studies have reported that hypoxic conditions could enhance the chondrogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells in the presence of an inductive medium. Cobalt chloride (CoCl2) imitates hypoxia in vitro by preventing hypoxia-inducible factor-alpha (HIF-a) from being destroyed by oxygen. However, the long-term hypoxic culture of stem cells is difficult and requires special attention to avoid cell death due to cobalt treatment. In this study we investigated if CoCl2 affected MSCs isolated from dental pulp, umbilical cord and adipose tissue in their potential to differentiate toward the chondrogenic phenotype. Cells were treated with concentrations of CoCl2 ranging from 50 to 400 uM. Cell proliferation, mRNA expression of stem-cell marker and chondrogenic associated genes were analyzed by RT-PCR and Real-time PCR. The results showed that the CoCl2 supplementation had no effect on the proliferation of all the three type of cells analyzed, while the up-regulation of chondrogenic markers such as aggrecan, sox9, and type II collagen, was dependent on the cellular source. This study shows that hypoxia induced by CoCl2 treatment can differently influence the behavior of MSCs of different sources in their chondrogenic potential. These findings should be taken into consideration in the treatment of cartilage repair and regeneration based on stem cell therapies.

description: Background. Balance is a complex process that involves multiple sensory integrations. The auditory, visual and vestibular systems are the main contributors. Hearing loss or hearing impairment may induce inappropriate postural strategies that could affect the spine and consequently balance. The aim of this study was to understand if hearing loss could influence balance and posture Methods. 13 patients (61±13 year; 161.8±11.0 cm; 70.5±15.9 Kg) with moderate hearing loss (Right ear -60±21 dB; Left ear -61±24 dB) underwent: 1) an audiometric examination 2) a postural examination (with open and closed eyes) through a stabilometric platform, and 3) a sternocleidomastoid EMG examination. Results. No differences were found between right and left hemibody between the audiometric, posturographic, and the EMG amplitude. EMG parameters have shown no association with hearing loss, for both right or left head rotation. Multiple regression analysis has shown a negative regression coefficient (R2 -0.69) between hearing loss and the posturographic parameters. Conclusions. Hearing loss is associated to increased posturographic measures (CoP, ellipse X and Y deviations) underlining a reduced postural control in people with hearing impairment. No association has been found between neck activation and hearing loss.

description: Transition-Edge Sensors (TESs) are two-dimensional superconducting films used to detect energy or power. TESs are voltage biased in the resistive transition where the film resistance is both finite and a strong function of temperature. Electrical noise is observed in TESs that exceeds the predictions of existing noise theories. In this manuscript, we describe a model for the unexplained excess noise based on the dynamic resistance of the TES and noise mixed down from frequencies around the Josephson oscillations. We derive an expression for the power spectral density of this noise and show that its predictions match measured data.

description: The epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is essential for cell fate determination during development but it is involved in pathological processes like cancer as well, being one of the first steps in the mechanisms leading to metastasis. miR-145-5p is one of the most widely recognized tumor-suppressor miRNAs, able to regulate cell migration and EMT through the contribution of the RISC complex in which Argonaute (Ago) proteins are required for target recognition and gene silencing [1]. Ago2 is an important member of the Ago family and its overexpression correlates with a transformed phenotype in breast cancer cells [2]. With the aim to unravel miR-145-5p/Ago2 contribution to the suppression of cancer progression in epithelial tumors, here we show that: i) miR-145-5p and Ago2 are down-regulated in breast tumor vs normal tissues; ii) the restored expression of miR-145-5p in breast cancer cell lines results in the reduction of tumor phenotype; iii) Ago2 expression is positively and specifically regulated by miR-145-5p; iv) miR-145-5p-dependent Ago2 induction is necessary for the inhibition of cell migration; v) when Ago2 is depleted, the formation of an alternative miR-145-5p/Ago1 active complex redirects miR-145-5p tumor suppressor function and correlates with a more invasive phenotype in breast cancer cells. These results open to the identification of miR-145-5p/Ago2-dependent molecular networks involved in the maintenance and progression of cancer phenotype.

The Concepts of Ambiguity and Equivalence in Interlingual Japanese-Italian Subtitling
Creators: name: Vitucci, Francesco
Publisher: name: Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, Italia
Year: 2017

description:

This study focuses on the concepts of ambiguity and equivalence in the field of interlinguistic subtitiling of feature films from Japanese into Italian. Feature films often present us with a context that is revealed not only through language, but also through various iconic components (such as different geographic locations, local symbolic signals, body movements, urban environments, social and historical trends); this illustrate how complex is the relationship between the original spoken dialogues and extraverbal elements. In particular, given the increasing demand for Japanese films subtitled in languages other than English, this study underlines how the intercultural and interlingual translation of the above assets requires the future subtitlers’ generations to have a solid AVT theoretical background.

A preliminary report on the characterization of epiretinal membranes excised from patients affected by macular pucker

Subjects: Macular pucker; retina; pancreas; epiretinal membrane; immunofluorescence; confocal microscopy

description: Among the various pathologies of the vitreoretinal interface, idiopathic macular pucker (MP) is one of the most puzzling. MPs are characterized by the formation of an epiretinal membrane (ERM) that grows in front of the fovea and results in a major impairment of vision. MPs are also frequently complicated by the deformation of the regular macular anatomy, with stretching and deformation of all retinal layers and loss of the foveal pit. This result is usually referred to the presence of myofibroblast-like cells on the retinal surface that alter macular anatomy possibly exerting a significant traction on ERMs. In order to shed light on the physiopathological events that lead to the development of idiopathic MPs, we carried out an immunofluorescence study by confocal microscopy on ERMs excised from 32 eyes with diagnosis of MP using a panel of antibodies including anti-collagen I, anti-collagen IV, anti-collagen VI, anti-smooth muscle actin (SMA), anti-glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and anti-vimentin antibodies. Some samples were also challenged with anti-heat shock protein (HSP) 47, anti-HSP 90 and anti-receptor II of the transforming growth factor (TGFβRII) antibodies. ERMs broadly varied in thickness. Mostly, they were formed by a layer of collagen 1 adjacent the internal limiting membrane, collagen IV and a layer of vimentin+ cells. Cells also co-expressed SMA or GFAP. Collagen VI, in contrast, was almost always scanty, frequently within the intracytoplasmic vesicles. Some membranes showed a very high content of collagen IV, so abundant to resemble the distribution of interstitial collagens. Cells were almost always restricted to the vitreal side of the membrane; only rarely they could be seen embedded between layers of extracellular matrix. They were frequently HSP90+ and sometimes they contained collagen-immunoreactive materials in their cytoplasm. They also showed TGFβRII within intracytoplasmic vesicles. All in all, ERMs have many features resembling those characterizing fibrotic processes.

description: Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit war es, das Studienberatungsangebot des Wiener Self-Assessment Psychologie der Test- und Beratungsstelle des Arbeitsbereichs Psychologische Diagnostik zu evaluieren. Angelehnt an das erstellte Anforderungsprofil für Psychologiestudierende an der Universität Wien besteht die Testbatterie des Self-Assessments aus dem Lerntest LAMBDA, dem Kodiertest aus der Testbatterie Arbeitshaltungen, dem Wissenstest LEWITE, dem Interessentest AIST-R, einem Test zum logischen Denken und einem Fragebogen zum Arbeitsverhalten. Um die prognostische Validität des Self-Assessments zu prüfen, wurden in einem ersten Schritt Korrelationen zwischen den Testleistungen der TeilnehmerInnen im Self-Assessment und den Prüfungsnoten des ersten Studienabschnittes berechnet. Hier zeigten sich kaum signifikante Zusammenhänge. Demnach ist eine inhaltlich fundierte Aussage über die Studienleistung aufgrund der Leistungen im Self-Assessment nur eingeschränkt möglich, was vorrangig auf die schlechte Datenlage zum Untersuchungszeitpunkt zurückzuführen ist. In einem nächsten Schritt wurde eine hierarchische Clusteranalyse berechnet, mit dem Ziel, verschiedene Typen von erfolgreichen und weniger erfolgreichen Psychologiestudierenden zu identifizieren, die sich anhand ihrer Leistungen im Self-Assessment unterscheiden. Tatsächlich ließen sich vier verschiedenen Typen identifizieren, von denen einer als für das Psychologiestudium wenig geeignet bezeichnet werden kann. Ein weiterer Typ scheint aufgrund seiner Fähigkeiten im Self-Assessment als gut geeignet für das Studium, die beiden anderen Typen scheinen grundsätzlich gut geeignet, weisen aber auch einige Schwächen in Bezug auf das Studium auf. In weiterer Folge wurde mittels Chi-Quadrat Tests geprüft, ob sich die vier gefundenen Typen hinsichtlich ihrer Studienleistung unterscheiden. Hier konnten jedoch keine signifikanten Unterschiede zwischen den Typen festgestellt werden. Abschließend wurde die Akzeptanz des Self-Assessments seitens der TestteilnehmerInnen untersucht. Hier wurden Daten aus der Nachbefragung zum Self-Assessment analysiert, die mittels eines Online - Fragebogens innerhalb eines Jahres nach der Teilnahme am Self-Assessment erhoben wurden. Es zeigte sich eine hohe Akzeptanz des Self-Assessment Psychologie seitens der TeilnehmerInnen sowie eine hohe Zufriedenheit mit dem inhaltlichen Aufbau und dem Beratungsablauf.
title: Arbeitsplatzunsicherheit in Neuen Erwerbsformen?
Creators: name: Meraner, Johanna
Year: 2008

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit setzt sich mit den immer stärker zunehmenden atypischen Beschäftigungsverhältnissen auseinander und diskutiert diese vor allem in Verbindung mit dem Konzept der Arbeitsplatzunsicherheit. Es werden 5 atypische Beschäftigungsverhältnisse behandelt: Teilzeit, Freie Dienstnehmer, Neue Selbständige, Geringfügig Beschäftigte und Leiharbeitskräfte. Beschrieben werden neben Vor- und Nachteilen dieser Beschäftigungsverhältnisse, die subjektive Wahrnehmung von Arbeitsplatzunsicherheit, Moderatorvariablen, die zu dieser Wahrnehmung führen, Copingstrategien und politische Konzepte, die auf diese aktuellen Themen Bezug nehmen. Hier ist das Flexicurity Modell angeführt, das die Flexibilität der Neuen Erwerbsformen mit Sicherheit zu verbinden versucht. Im empirischen Teil wird durch eine qualitative Untersuchung, einer Fokusgruppenuntersuchung, die Wahrnehmung der unterschiedlichen Beschäftigungsverhältnisse erfasst. Diese explorative Studie wirft zwei Fragestellungen auf, die anschließend quantitativ überprüft werden. Zum einen wird eine Unterschiedsmessung zwischen den verschiedenen Beschäftigungsformen in Bezug auf subjektive Arbeitsplatzunsicherheit und arbeitsspezifische Stressoren durchgeführt, zum anderen der Zusammenhang zwischen Wissen über Rechte und Pflichten und Arbeitsplatzunsicherheit untersucht. Die Ergebnisse diesbezüglich unterscheiden sich in den einzelnen Erwerbsformen und legen die Vermutung nahe, dass die Wahrnehmung von Chancen und Risiken und die damit verbundene Arbeitsplatzunsicherheit von sehr vielen Faktoren beeinflusst wird. Die Beschäftigungsform alleine kann kaum genügen, um diesen subjektiven Prozess hinreichend zu erklären.

description: In meiner Studie wurden 274 Personen im Alter zwischen 16 und 57 Jahren, die einen Partner über eine Kontaktanzeige im Internet suchen, befragt. Untersucht wurden Unterschiede im Korrespondenzverhalten, in der Selbstdarstellung, dem Selbstwert und der Schüchternheit. Es zeigten sich Geschlechtsunterschiede im Korrespondenzverhalten, sowie in der Selbstdarstellung. Die Initiative wird, wie oft auch im Real Life, eher dem Mann überlassen. Frauen benutzen häufiger als Männer defensive Selbstdarstellungstechniken. Schüchterne Personen haben etwas gleich viele Kontakte wie nicht schüchterne, aus diesen entstehen aber seltener feste Partnerschaften. Schüchterne haben auch einen deutlich geringeren Selbstwert und glauben weniger stark daran einen passenden Partner im Internet (wie auch im Real Life) zu finden. Insgesamt kann man sagen, dass das Internet für schüchterne Menschen eine Chance darstellt, Kontakte zu potentiellen Partnern herzustellen, diese Chance dann aber selten für eine tatsächliche Beziehung genutzt wird.

description: Abstract

The implementation of hybrid Turpin systems combined with Utility Grid (Turpin/UG) represents a significant strategy for addressing fuel resource scarcity on a global scale. Before the installation of such systems, it is crucial to meticulously evaluate the total cost involved. A recent study conducted at the University of Business and Technology in Jeddah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), aimed to analyze the performance of a hybrid Turpin/UG system. The primary objective was to ensure the continuous operation of the security system without incurring additional costs. The study involved calculating the average wind speed, temperature, and air density throughout the year in Jeddah. These parameters were essential for estimating the overall power generation potential of the selected wind turbines. The results of the analysis revealed that the hybrid Turpin/UG system could generate sufficient power to sustain the security system's operation without any financial burden. Specifically, the study demonstrated that the implementation of the hybrid system resulted in a monthly cost saving of 343 Saudi Riyals (SR). Over the lifetime of the system, the total accumulated savings amounted to 18,164 SR. These findings underscore the viability and economic benefits of adopting hybrid Turpin systems, especially in regions like Jeddah with favorable wind conditions. This research contributes to the growing body of evidence supporting the effectiveness of renewable energy solutions in mitigating resource scarcity and reducing operational costs. It also highlights the importance of conducting site-specific analyses to optimize the performance and economic feasibility of renewable energy systems.
title: Einstellung zur Menstruation und prämenstruelle Beschwerden bei alkoholabhängigen Frauen
Creators: name: Fildan-Lembacher, Maren
Year: 2008

description: Die vorliegende empirische Studie stellt einen Versuch dar, eine Verbindung zwischen dem Menstruationserleben, der Einstellung zur Menstruation und dem jeweiligen Trinkverhalten bei abstinenten stationär aufgenommenen alkoholabhängigen Frauen aufzuzeigen. Auf die Themenbereiche Alkoholismus, insbesondere Frauenalkoholismus, biologischer Ablauf des Menstruationszyklus sowie „Prämenstruelles Syndrom“ wird im Theoretischen Teil eingegangen. Im empirischen Teil wurde ein sehr ausführlicher Fragebogen (soziodemographische Daten, gynäkologische Vorgeschichte, Menstruationsbiographie sowie Fragen zum Trinkverhalten), der Menstrual Attitude Questionnaire (MAQ) und der Berliner Fragebogen zum Menstruationserleben (FEM) eingesetzt. Aufgrund einer subjektiven Einschätzung des Schweregrades der prämenstruellen Beschwerden konnten drei verschieden stark ausgeprägte Beschwerdegruppen unterschieden werden. Die Ergebnisse der Studie veranschaulichen, dass die Gruppe mit mittleren und starken Beschwerden erwartungsgemäß stärkere Belastungen während der Menstruation und ein deutlicher ausgeprägtes „PMS“ angaben als die beiden anderen Gruppen. Außerdem empfanden diese Frauen ihre eigene Menstruation vermehrt als Beeinträchtigung der Leistungsfähigkeit und der psychischen Befindlichkeit. Rund 25% aller befragten Frauen beschrieben einen Zykluseinfluss auf ihren Alkoholkonsum, wobei 18,8% der Gesamtstichprobe (n=85) die Trinkmenge in der prämenstruellen Phase erhöhten.

description: We study the correlations between redirected walking (RDW) rotation gains and patterns in users' posture and gaze data during locomotion in virtual reality (VR). To do this, we conducted a psychophysical experiment to measure users' sensitivity to RDW rotation gains and collect gaze and posture data during the experiment. Using multilevel modeling, we studied how different factors of the VR system and user affected their physiological signals. In particular, we studied the effects of redirection gain, trial duration, trial number (i.e., time spent in VR), and participant gender on postural sway, gaze velocity (a proxy for gaze stability), and saccade and blink rate. Our results showed that, in general, physiological signals were significantly positively correlated with the strength of redirection gain, the duration of trials, and the trial number. Gaze velocity was negatively correlated with trial duration. Additionally, we measured users' sensitivity to rotation gains in well-lit (photopic) and dimly-lit (mesopic) virtual lighting conditions. Results showed that there were no significant differences in RDW detection thresholds between the photopic and mesopic luminance conditions.

Publisher: name: ZAP Journal
Year: 2024
Subjects: Elderly care workers, job embeddedness, influencing factors, workplace loneliness.

description: The study investigates job embeddedness and the influencing factors among elderly care workers. A cross-sectional survey was conducted to collect data from 325 elderly care workers. The demographic questionnaire, Job Embeddedness Scale (JES), and Workplace Loneliness Scale were applied. The findings reveal that the level of job embeddedness among elderly care workers is moderate, but about one in every seven elderly caregivers is at a low level of JE. Age, marital status, working years, and workplace loneliness are the influencing factors of JE for geriatric caregivers. Managers should focus on young, single, and short-serving geriatric caregivers, who are more likely to have low levels of job embeddedness. Moreover, interventions should be developed to alleviate workplace loneliness among elderly care workers, improving their job embeddedness and stabilizing the elderly care team

description: A shape optimization problem is considered related to the design of induction hardening facilities. The mathematical model consists of a vector potential  formulation for Maxwell's equations coupled with the energy balance and an ODE to describe the solid-solid phase transition in steel during heating. Depending on the shape of the coil we control the volume fraction of the high temperature phase. The coil is modeled as a tube and is defined by a unit-speed curve. The shape optimiza- tion problem is formulated over the set of admissible curves. The existence of an optimal control is proved. To obtain the form of the shape gradient of the cost functional, the material derivative method is applied. Finally, the first order necessary optimality conditions are estabished for an optimal tube.

title: Stressfaktoren beim Gerichtsdolmetschen
Creators: name: Bábelová, Hana
Year: 2008

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit geht der Frage nach, ob GerichtsdolmetscherInnen bei der Ausübung ihrer Tätigkeit diversen Stress- und Belastungsfaktoren ausgesetzt sind. Es wird zunächst die Relevanz des Themas „Stress“ für das menschliche Leben erläutert und anschließend die Problematik des berufsbedingten Stresses und seiner negativen Auswirkungen auf die menschliche Gesundheit besprochen. Des Weiteren wird auf die vorhandenen dolmetschwissenschaftlichen Forschungsstudien eingegangen, die sich Stress und (Simultan)Dolmetschen zum Gegenstand gemacht haben. Auf Grundlage dieser einschlägigen Untersuchungen wird versucht, Parallelen für das Gerichtsdolmetschen zu ziehen. Dabei wird das umfassende Bild der Tätigkeit der GerichtsdolmetscherInnen detailliert analysiert und es werden (mögliche) Stress- und Belastungsfaktoren abgeleitet. Schließlich werden diese Erkenntnisse in der Praxis überprüft: anhand von beobachteten Gerichtsverhandlungen in Österreich (Wien) und in der Slowakei (Bratislava, Trenčín, Pezinok, Nitra) wird versucht, Stressoren zu identifizieren und analysieren. Anschließend wird versucht, anhand der festgestellten stresserzeugenden Faktoren einen Vergleich zwischen den beobachteten Verhandlungen in den erwähnten Ländern zu ziehen. Die Ergebnisse der Beobachtungen veranschaulichen, dass die Tätigkeit der GerichtsdolmetscherInnen eine an Stress- und Belastungsfaktoren reiche Quelle ist. Deshalb versteht sich diese Arbeit als ein erster Schritt und vielleicht auch als eine Anregung für weitere, größer angelegten Studien diese Phänomens.
description: The aim of this thesis is to investigate whether court interpreters experience stress in their job setting. The paper firstly focuses on the relevance of stress to human life and discusses the issue of occupational stress and the damage it can cause to one’s health. Furthermore, it gives a brief overview of the existing research pro-jects within interpreting studies which deal with stress and (simultaneous) interpreting. On the basis of these projects, it will be attempted to draw a parallel to court interpreting. The comprehensive profession of court interpreters will be studied and analyzed in detail in order to deduce any (potential) stressors. Finally, all these findings will be verified in practice: the data gained by means of direct observations of trials in Austria (Vienna) and Slovakia (Bratislava, Trenčín, Pezi-nok, Nitra) will form the basis for identifying and analyzing stress factors. Subsequently, it will be attempted to draw a comparison between the trials in the above-mentioned countries considering the observed stress factors. The outcome of the observations demonstrates that court interpreters are subject to a variety of diverse stress factors. Therefore, this paper shall be seen as a first step and possi-bly an impulse to further larger-scale studies of this phenomenon.

description: Reduction of flow compressibility with the corresponding ideally invariant helicities, universally for various fluid models of neutral and ionized gases, can be argued statistically and associated with the geometrical scenario in the Taylor-Proudman theorem and its analogues. A `chiral base flow/field', rooted in the generic intrinsic local structure, as well as an `equivalence principle' is explained and used to bridge the single-structure mechanics and the helical statistics. The electric field fluctuations may similarly be depressed by the (self-)helicities of the two-fluid plasma model, with the geometry lying in the relation between the electric and density fields in a Maxwell equation.
