title: Das Phänomen Sportverweigerung im Unterrichtsfach Bewegung und Sport
Creators: name: Haumer, Sabrina
Year: 2017

description: In den letzten Jahren wurde das Phänomen „Sportverweigerung“ in der sportpädagogischen Literatur stark vernachlässigt. Die vorliegende Diplomarbeit soll daher an den bereits bestehenden Beiträgen anknüpfen und neue Erkenntnisse liefern. Im Zuge einer hermeneutischen Erarbeitung und einer empirischen Untersuchung werden Gründe eruiert, warum Mädchen im Unterrichtsfach Bewegung und Sport verweigern und welchen Einfluss Schule, Unterrichtsqualität und Peers darauf haben. Außerdem werden Lösungsansätze gesucht, wie Sportverweigerung reduziert werden kann. Sportverweigerung lässt sich in die übergeordnete Theorie des Schulabsentismus einbetten. Ziel des hermeneutischen Teils ist es, die unterschiedlichen Begriffsdefinitionen und Kategorisierungen einzelner Autoren/Autorinnen zu erläutern und die theoretischen Erklärungsansätze aufzuzeigen. In weiterer Folge werden Ursachen und Einflussfaktoren auf Sportverweigerung ermittelt. Durch die empirische Forschung sollen diese Erkenntnisse überprüft werden. Dazu wurden zehn Lehrerinnen und zehn Schülerinnen an Schulen in Niederösterreich und Wien mittels problemzentrierter Interviews befragt. Die durch die Interviews erhaltenen Daten wurden transkribiert und danach mittels qualitativer Inhaltsanalyse ausgewertet. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass das Ausmaß von Sportverweigerung von Faktoren wie Stadt/Land und Schultyp abhängt. Die Ursachen für dieses Phänomen sind vielschichtig. Es konnte festgestellt werden, dass vor allem die Pubertät eine schwierige Phase ist, in der es gehäuft zu Verweigerungen kommt. Auch Schulangst oder Angst beim Schwimmen sowie Geräteturnen sind häufige Gründe für verweigerndes Verhalten. Zum einen handelt es sich bei dem Phänomen um ein gesellschaftspolitisches Problem, denn die Hälfte der befragten Mädchen verweigert auch den außerschulischen Sport. Die andere Hälfte ist jedoch außerhalb der Schule sportlich aktiv. Sie sind oft nicht zufrieden mit den Unterrichtsinhalten und verbinden den Sportunterricht mit Zwang. Schule und Unterrichtsqualität haben somit einen wesentlichen Einfluss auf Sportverweigerung. Die Ergebnisse verdeutlichen auch, dass Peers eine große Rolle spielen. Verweigert ein Mädchen den Sportunterricht, ist die Wahrscheinlichkeit sehr hoch, dass ihre Freundinnen ebenfalls verweigern. Es stellt sich daher die Frage, wie diesem Problem gesellschaftspolitisch entgegengewirkt werden kann und inwiefern das Unterrichtsfach Bewegung und Sport dazu beitragen kann, dieses Phänomen zu reduzieren. Dies soll ein Denkanstoß für weitere Arbeiten auf diesem Gebiet sein.

description: We establish bounds on quantum correlations in many-body systems. They reveal what sort of information about a quantum system can be simultaneously recorded in different parts of its environment. Specifically, independent agents who monitor environment fragments can eavesdrop only on amplified and redundantly disseminated - hence, effectively classical - information about the decoherence-resistant pointer observable. We also show that the emergence of classical objectivity is signaled by a distinctive scaling of the conditional mutual information, bypassing hard numerical optimizations. Our results validate the core idea of Quantum Darwinism: objective classical reality does not need to be postulated and is not accidental, but rather a compelling emergent feature of quantum theory that otherwise - in absence of decoherence and amplification - leads to "quantum weirdness". In particular, a lack of consensus between agents that access environment fragments is bounded by the information deficit, a measure of the incompleteness of the information about the system.

description: Genus Parachiton Thiele, 1909
Type species. Lepidopleurus (Parachiton) acuminatus Thiele, 1909, by original designation.
Remarks. Parachiton was erected by Thiele (1909) as a subgenus of Lepidopleurus on the basis of its disproportionately large tail valve with subterminal mucro, and an overall similarity of the other valves with species of Lepidopleurus. It is now considered a separate genus (Sirenko 2006), based also on radular differences (Saito 1996). There are 23 Recent species known to date, all distributed in the Indo-West Pacific except for P. africanus (Nierstrasz, 1906) from the Mediterranean Sea.
Distribution. Parachiton is known from the Miocene to the present-day. The fossil record includes Miocene to Pleistocene deposits of the Mediterranean area (Dell’Angelo et al. 2015, 2018a) and the Miocene (Badenian) of the Paratethys (Šulc 1934; Bałuk 1971, 1984; Ruman & Hudácková 2015).

description: The appearance of tracks, close to classical orbits, left by charged quantum particles propagating inside a detector, such as a cavity periodically illuminated by light pulses, is studied for a family of idealized models. In the semi-classical regime, which is reached when one considers highly energetic particles, we present a detailed, mathematically rigorous analysis of this phenomenon. If the Hamiltonian of the particles is quadratic in position- and momentum operators, as in the examples of a freely moving particle or a particle in a homogeneous external magnetic field, we show how symmetries, such as spherical symmetry, of the initial state of a particle are broken by tracks consisting of infinitely many approximately measured particle positions and how, in the classical limit, the initial position and velocity of a classical particle trajectory can be reconstructed from the observed particle track.

Creators: name: Zaidan, Muhammad Hudaifa
Year: 2017

description: Die Diplomarbeit „Die Charta von Madinah (7. Jhd.) – eine kultur- und sozialhistorische Analyse“ befasst sich mit dem sogenannten ältesten Gesellschaftsvertrag in der Menschheitsgeschichte. Inmitten einer Ortschaft, die in vorislamischer Zeit noch unter dem Namen Yathrib bekannt war, entsteht gegen Anfang des 7. Jhd. unter Vermittlung des Propheten Muhammad ein Gesellschaftsvertrag, der das soziale, rechtliche und kulturelle Leben zwischen den verschiedenen ethnischen und religiösen Gruppierungen innerhalb des örtlichen Geltungsbereiches regelte. Die Besonderheit dieser Proto-Verfassung liegt in ihrem rechtstaatlichen wie sozialstaatlichen Prinzipien. In einer tribal funktionierenden Stammesgesellschaft wird durch die allmähliche Ausbreitung des Islams zudem die Religionszugehörigkeit als neues prägendes Identifikationsmerkmal über die Stammesloyalität erhoben. Diese Verschiebung der Priorität im Identitätsverständnis hatte eine kulturrevolutionäre Dimension. Die aktuelle Geschichtsforschung setzt die Charta von Madiinah aus zwei Teildokumenten zusammen, sogenannte separate Vertragsregelungen zwischen den unterschiedlichen Parteien, die zusammen genommen durchaus als Prototyp der ersten Verfassung eines islamischen Stadtstaates betrachtet werden können. Die zentrale Forschungsfrage lautet: Inwiefern beeinflusste die Charta von Madiinah das soziale und politische Leben in Madiinah vor der ersten Konstituierung und welchen generellen Stellenwert hatte dieser Gesellschaftsvertrag? Das Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit ist es den historischen Kontext im Rahmen der Entstehung und Durchsetzung dieser ersten medinensischen Verfassung zu erfassen, zu analysieren und einer deutschsprachigen LeserInnenschaft näherzubringen. Dabei sollen mehrere Bereiche untersucht werden, die sich sowohl mit der Authentizität, der revolutionären Fortschrittlichkeit sowie der gesellschaftspolitischen Tragweite der Charta von Madiinah beschäftigen.

description: Ultra-diffuse galaxies that contain a large sample of globular clusters (GCs) offer an opportunity to test the predictions of galactic dynamics theory. NGC5846-UDG1 is an excellent example, with a high-quality sample of dozens of GC candidates. We show that the observed distribution of GCs in NGC5846-UDG1 is suggestive of mass segregation induced by gravitational dynamical friction. We present simple analytic calculations, backed by a series of numerical simulations, that naturally explain the observed present-day pattern of GC masses and radial positions. Subject to some assumptions on the GC population at birth, the analysis supports the possibility that NGC5846-UDG1 resides in a massive dark matter halo. This is an example for the use of GC-rich systems as dynamical (in addition to kinematical) tracers of dark matter.

description: We characterize topological features of Josephson junctions formed by coupled mesoscopic chiral $p$-wave superconducting islands. Through analytic and numerical studies of the low-lying BdG (Bogoliubov-de Gennes) spectrum, we identify localized MBS (Majorana bound states) nucleated in Josephson vortices by the application of a perpendicular magnetic field. Additionally, we demonstrate the existence of an extended MBS that is delocalized around the outer perimeter of the coupled islands, which has measurable consequences on the Josephson supercurrent and phase dynamics of the junction. In particular, we predict a change in the critical current diffraction pattern in which the odd integer-flux nodes are lifted in a fermion parity-dependent fashion. We model the competing stochastic effects of thermal noise and macroscopic quantum tunneling within the RCSJ framework and show the emergence of a bimodal critical current distribution. We demonstrate that increasing the parity transition rate suppresses the bimodal nature of the distribution, thus strongly emphasizing the non-trivial parity dependent nature of the many-body ground state. Finally, we consider a trijunction geometry with three islands and discuss possible schemes to braid Majorana bound states by moving the Josephson vortices to which they are bound.

Creators: name: Weyrer, Veronica
Year: 2017

description: Die vorliegende Masterarbeit beschäftigt sich mit dem Thema Essen und Erinnerung und zeigt anhand verschiedener Beispiele, welche wichtige Rolle Essen sowie Kochen in autobiographischer Literatur von ExilantInnen und MigrantInnen spielt. Diese Auswahl zeigt, dass eine Verbindung zwischen den Beschreibungen von Essen, Kochen sowie dem Ort des Kochens, der Küche, und den Biographien sowie der Identitätssuche der ProtagonistInnen besteht. Das Heimatgefühl konstituiert sich zu einem großen Teil über die sinnliche Wahrnehmung, Erinnerungen, Geruch und Geschmack, denn diese sind meist unbelastete Erinnerungen, die mit Kindheit, Familie und Geborgenheit zu tun haben. In vielen autobiographischen Werken, die das Leben im Exil bzw. neuen Land beschreiben, gibt es kapitelweise Beschreibungen über traditionelles, vertrautes Essen aus der Kindheit, das in der Fremde ein Stück Heimat auf den Teller bringt. An Apfelstrudel oder Sachertorte wird ritualhaft festgehalten, um den „Geschmack der Heimat“ in fremder Küche aufleben zu lassen. Diese Analyse stützt sich auf 4 Kategorien: Essen als Motiv und Symbol; Fremdsein bzw. Akkulturation durch Essen; Kochen als Überlebensstrategie; „Kulinarische“ Orte des Kochens und Essens. Neben der literaturwissenschaftlichen Herangehensweise und der Arbeit an den Texten, fließen wichtige Disziplinen, wie etwa die Anthropologie und Geschichtswissenschaft ein. Diese interdisziplinäre Arbeitsweise ist wichtiger Teil einer komparatistischen Herangehensweise.

description: Topological semimetals with superconducting properties provide an emergent platform to explore the properties of topological superconductors. We report magnetization, and magneto-transport measurements on high quality single crystals of transition metal dichalcogenide SnTaS2. It is a nodal line semimetal with superconducting transition below Tc = 2.9 K. Moderate anisotropy (3.1) is observed in upper critical fields along H||c and H||ab plane. In the normal state we observe large magneto-resistance and weak anti-localization effect that provide unambiguous confirmation of topological features in SnTaS2. Therefore, genuine topological characteristics can be studied in this material, particularly with regard to microscopic origin of order parameter symmetry.

American regulation of arms exports
Creators: name: Atwater, Elton
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: The regulation of the traffic in arms is a subject which has been considered from many points of view. In recent times the problem has been viewed from the standpoints of the preservation of neutrality and of the deterrents of aggression, or sanctions, as well as from those of international ethics and of diplomacy. It has played its part in American politics, in schemes for world organization, and in plans for the conservation of resources. In earlier periods, arms embargoes were an important instrument in the Latin American policy of the United States. In the dawn of United States history, ill-fated experiments with complete embargoes were an important incident in the history of our relationship to the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. All of these and other aspects of the regulation of the traffic in arms throughout the history of the United States have been analyzed by Professor Atwater in this book. His previous detailed study of the application of sanctions by the members of the League of Nations against Italy during the Ethiopian War has provided him with an unusual background for considering the more recent aspects of the American policy. At this time, it may be that the various uses of the arms embargo as an instrument of policy fade into the background while more pressing problems of defense and perhaps of war itself occupy the center of the stage. Yet the history of the use of embargoes, both statutory and "moral," is still being written as part and parcel of the history of the neutrality of the United States. The repeal of the arms embargo when the Neutrality Act of 1939 was passed is clearly seen in retrospect as the first step in aid to Britain short of war. At this writing, one can not yet say whether the United States Government's refusal to yield to the clamor for an anti-Japanese embargo will prove to have been part of the prelude to peace or to war. But it is clear that the decision to raise or to impose an arms embargo is fraught with consequences of the utmost seriousness. It is also true that present prophesies of post-war world conditions are hazardous. Nevertheless, under all of the hypotheses which one may select as a basis for analyzing the future, it is safe to assume that the regulation of the traffic in arms will play its part, whether as a measure of conservation, of defense, of national pressure or of international cooperation. As Professor Atwater points out in his Introduction, however, it is always necessary to consider the purpose for which an arms embargo has been imposed before utilizing the experience with it as a precedent for comparable action. This book with its record and appraisal of past experience has, therefore, a permanent value not only as a history but also as an aid in planning the future.

Dallas was the right place for this program because we have a cath lab and MRI in close proximity to one another in the hospital, and because we havea large population of very complex, single-ventricle patients.

The improved visibility of cardiovascular structures is a great advantage of iCMR,  ‘With X-ray cath, you’re only seeing bones and very dense structures. With MRI, you can see the soft tissue, vessels, myocardium, and so on. In a traditional cath lab, we need to inject nephrotoxic contrast agent to make these structures visible. This is not needed using MRI.

description: Genus Ischnochiton Gray, 1847
Type species. Chiton textilis Gray, 1828, by subsequent designation (Gray 1847: 168). For synonymy, see Kaas & Van Belle (1990).
Remarks. The diagnosis of subgenera within Ischnochiton is based mainly on girdle characters, not detectable in fossil species.
Distribution. Ischnochiton is one of the most ancient extant genera, with a present-day circumglobal distribution, excluding the northern Atlantic and Arctic Oceans (Kaas & Van Belle 1990). Beside a questionable record from the Jurassic of Germany (Ischnochiton marloffsteinensis Fiedel & Keupp, 1988), the genus is present in the Eocene of Europe (England and Ukraine), the upper Eocene-lower Oligocene of Washington, U.S.A. (Dell’Angelo et al. 2011a), the Miocene to Pleistocene of Europe (Dell’Angelo et al. 2004, 2015; Garilli et al. 2005; Studencka & Dulai 2010), Africa (Tanzania, Davis 1954), Australasia (Ashby & Cotton 1939; Cotton & Godfrey 1940; Beu & Maxwell 1990), Indonesia (Verbeek et al. 1882), Japan (Itoigawa et al. 1976) and the U.S.A. (Berry 1940). Ischnochiton sp. is the only chiton species reported from deep waters (> 400 m) in the Red Sea (Janssen & Taviani 2015).

description: Estimating the cross-correlation power spectra of cosmic microwave background (CMB), in particular, the T B and EB spectra, is important for testing parity symmetry in cosmology and diagnosing insidious instruments systematics. The Quadratic Maximum Likelihood (QML) estimator provides the optimal estimates of power spectra, but it is computationally very expensive. The hybrid pseudo-Cl estimator is computationally fast but performs poorly on large scales. As a natural extension of previous work (Chen et al. 2021), in this article, we present a new unbiased estimator based on the Smith-Zaldarriaga (SZ) approach of E-B separation and scalar QML approach to reconstruct the cross-correlation power spectrum, called QML-SZ estimator. Our new estimator relies on the ability to construct scalar maps, which allows us to use a scalar QML estimator to obtain the cross-correlation power spectrum. By reducing the pixel number and algorithm complexity, the computational cost is nearly one order of magnitude smaller and the running time is nearly two orders of magnitude faster in the test situations.

description: The regulation of the traffic in arms is a subject which has been considered from many points of view. In recent times the problem has been viewed from the standpoints of the preservation of neutrality and of the deterrents of aggression, or sanctions, as well as from those of international ethics and of diplomacy. It has played its part in American politics, in schemes for world organization, and in plans for the conservation of resources. In earlier periods, arms embargoes were an important instrument in the Latin American policy of the United States. In the dawn of United States history, ill-fated experiments with complete embargoes were an important incident in the history of our relationship to the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. All of these and other aspects of the regulation of the traffic in arms throughout the history of the United States have been analyzed by Professor Atwater in this book. His previous detailed study of the application of sanctions by the members of the League of Nations against Italy during the Ethiopian War has provided him with an unusual background for considering the more recent aspects of the American policy. At this time, it may be that the various uses of the arms embargo as an instrument of policy fade into the background while more pressing problems of defense and perhaps of war itself occupy the center of the stage. Yet the history of the use of embargoes, both statutory and "moral," is still being written as part and parcel of the history of the neutrality of the United States. The repeal of the arms embargo when the Neutrality Act of 1939 was passed is clearly seen in retrospect as the first step in aid to Britain short of war. At this writing, one can not yet say whether the United States Government's refusal to yield to the clamor for an anti-Japanese embargo will prove to have been part of the prelude to peace or to war. But it is clear that the decision to raise or to impose an arms embargo is fraught with consequences of the utmost seriousness. It is also true that present prophesies of post-war world conditions are hazardous. Nevertheless, under all of the hypotheses which one may select as a basis for analyzing the future, it is safe to assume that the regulation of the traffic in arms will play its part, whether as a measure of conservation, of defense, of national pressure or of international cooperation. As Professor Atwater points out in his Introduction, however, it is always necessary to consider the purpose for which an arms embargo has been imposed before utilizing the experience with it as a precedent for comparable action. This book with its record and appraisal of past experience has, therefore, a permanent value not only as a history but also as an aid in planning the future.

description: We study the cross sections for the electro-production of $P_c(4312)$ particle, a recently discovered pentaquark state, in electron-proton collisions assuming possible quantum numbers to be $J^{P}=\frac{1}{2}^\pm, \frac{3}{2}^\pm$. $\sqrt{s}$ is set to the energy of the future Electron Ion Collider at Brookhaven National Laboratory, in order to asses the possibility of the measurement in this facility. One can discriminate the spin of $P_c(4312)$ by comparing the pseudorapidity distribution in two different polarization configurations for proton and electron beams. Furthermore, the parity of $P_c(4312)$ can be discerned by analyzing the decay angle in the $P_c \rightarrow p +J/ψ$ channel. As the multiplicity of $P_c$ production in our calculation is large, the EIC can be considered as a future facility for precision measurement of heavy pentaquarks.

description: Ab-initio calculations of nuclear masses, the binding energy and the $α$ decay half-lives are intractable for heavy nucleus, because of the curse of dimensionality in many body quantum simulations as proton number($\mathrm{N}$) and neutron number($\mathrm{Z}$) grow. We take advantage of the powerful non-linear transformation and feature representation ability of deep neural network(DNN) to predict the nuclear masses and $α$ decay half-lives. For nuclear binding energy prediction problem we achieve standard deviation $σ=0.263$ MeV on 10-fold cross validation on 2149 nuclei. Word-vectors which are high dimensional representation of nuclei from the hidden layers of mass-regression DNN help us to calculate $α$ decay half-lives. For this task, we get $σ=0.797$ on 100 times 10-fold cross validation on 350 nuclei on $log_{10}T_{1/2}$ and $σ=0.731 $ on 486 nuclei. We also find physical a priori such as shell structure, magic numbers and augmented inputs inspired by Finite Range Droplet Model are important for this small data regression task.

title: Zugehörigkeitskonstruktionen im Kontext von Migration am Beispiel von Biografien in Wien lebender SüdtirolerInnen
Creators: name: Meister, Dietmar
Year: 2017

description: „The questions of belonging and the politics of belonging constitute some of the most difficult issues that are confronting all of us these days“, schreibt Nira Yuval-Davis (2011, S.1). Zugehörigkeitsfragen sind im „Zeitalter der Migration“ (Miller und Castles, 2003) wichtiger denn je. Für viele SüdtirolerInnen im Ausland ist schon die Frage „Woher kommst du?“ nicht einfach zu beantworten. Denn sie impliziert die Forderung nach einer eindeutigen Positionierung, einer eindeutigen Zuordnung zu einem bestimmten geografischen Raum. Wie diese Arbeit zeigt, entspricht eine derartige Eindeutigkeit keineswegs der Komplexität, nach der individuelle Zugehörigkeitskonstruktionen gestaltet sind. Die Auswertung der Interviews hat gezeigt, dass Zugehörigkeiten weder primitiv noch statisch sind – sondern vielmehr vielschichtig und wandelbar. Sie bewegen sich im Spannungsfeld zwischen subjektiven Einstellungen und äußeren Umständen. Die verschiedenen Zugehörigkeiten, die jedes Individuum in sich vereint, greifen ineinander und beeinflussen sich wechselseitig. So ist die natio-ethno-kulturelle Zugehörigkeit, deren Veränderbarkeit im Zentrum der vorliegenden Untersuchung steht, nicht unabhängig vom sozioökonomischen Hintergrund, vom Geschlecht oder von den Zukunftsperspektiven einer Person. Genauso ist es von vielfältigen Faktoren abhängig, ob und wie jemand Migrationserfahrungen bewältigt. Wie diese Arbeit zeigt, ist eines der zentralen Elemente, das diese Bewältigung begünstigt, das Vorhandensein eines Unterstützungsnetzwerkes – ein Netzwerk, das für viele SüdtirolerInnen in Wien aus vielen anderen SüdtirolerInnen besteht. Darüber hinaus kann in Hinblick auf Einflüsse von Migrationsprozessen und -erfahrungen auf subjektive Zugehörigkeitskonstruktionen folgendes Ergebnis festgehalten werden: Ob sich Zugehörigkeiten unter bestimmten Umständen verstärken, ob sie unverändert bleiben oder ob sie schwächer werden, kann pauschal nicht festgestellt werden – sondern nur mittels Analyse des jeweiligen Einzelfalls. Wie die vorliegende Arbeit zeigt, sind sowohl das biografisch-narrative Interview als auch die biografische Fallrekonstruktion die richtigen Methoden für eine derartige Fragestellung. Vor allem, weil die offene Herangehensweise denen, die ihre Lebensgeschichten erzählen, die Möglichkeit bietet, sowohl Zugehörigkeiten als auch Nicht-Zugehörigkeiten zu präsentieren – oder eben nicht.
title: Veränderung des Bilirubin Spiegel im Rahmen eines einjährigen Lebensstilinterventions-Programmes
Creators: name: Wimmer, Veronika
Year: 2017

description: Das primäre Ziel eines einjährigen multidisziplinären Interventionsprogrammes der Oberösterreichischen Lehrer- Kranken- und Unfallfürsorge (LKUF) war die Auswirkung einer kontrollierten Ernährungs- sowie Trainingsintervention auf die Veränderung des Bilirubins im Blut zu erforschen. Diese Intervention wurde über 1 Jahr hinweg in 2 unabhängigen Runden vollzogen und geschah unter der Aufsicht eines geschulten Expertenteams. Es nahmen insgesamt 34 Personen teil. Die vorliegende Arbeit stellt dabei nur eine Teilauswertung der Intervention dar, in anderen Arbeiten wurden bereits Auswirkungen auf Körpergewicht, BMI, anthropometrische Indizes, Körperzusammensetzung und Stoffwechselparameter eruiert. All diese Daten standen für diese Arbeit zur Verfügung und erlaubten mögliche Zusammenhänge zwischen Bilirubin und anderen Parameter zu erkennen. In diesem Zusammenhang wurden die damals gesammelten Serumproben der Probanden entsprechend aufgearbeitet und die UCB-Konzentration mit Hilfe einer HPLC ermittelt. Ein Zusammenhang zwischen Bilirubinkonzentration und einer Gewichtsabnahme wurde nicht gefunden. Es war eine Tendenz eines negativen Zusammenhanges zwischen Bilirubin und LDL-C zu allen gemessenen Zeitpunkten zu sehen. Weiters konnte eine negative Korrelation zwischen der UCB-Konzentration und dem LDL/HDL – Quotient (r=-0,563; p<0,01) gezeigt werden. Zusätzlich gab es einen schwach negativen signifikanten Zusammenhang mit dem Gesamtcholesterin-C/HDL-C Verhältnis (r=-0,519; p<0,05). Bis auf die Korrelation des HDL-C mit Bilurubin konnte keine konstante signifikante Korrelation über alle Zeitpunkte zwischen der UCB-Konzentration und dem restlichen Lipidprofil gefunden werden. Weitere Ergebnisse durch die Intervention zu einer signifikanten Abnahme des Körpergewichts, des Bauch,- und Hüftumfanges kam. Außerdem haben sich alle Lipidparameter verbessert; bei den Triglyzeriden konnte eine signifikante Abnahme und beim HDL-C eine signifikante Zunahme beobachtet werden. Abschließend bleibt zu erwähnen, dass die Datenlage bezüglich Veränderungen der Bilirubinkonzentration während bzw. nach einer Gewichtsabnahme mangelhaft ist und aus diesem Grund weiterer Forschungsbedarf für populationsbasierte Studien herrscht.

Panencefalite esclerosante subaguda: de novo uma velha doença

description: Resumo

A panencefalite esclerosante subaguda (PEES), é uma doença progressiva do sistema nervoso central, causada por infecção persistente pelo vírus do sarampo. A apresentação clínica é variável e subtil, vários anos após a infecção inicial, o que, aliado à redução da incidência da doença nas últimas décadas, pela vacinação regular, torna a suspeição clínica fundamental para o estabelecimento do diagnóstico.

Descreve-se o caso clínico de uma criança de nove anos, com sequelas neurológicas de meningite tuberculosa aos quatro meses de idade (atraso global, hemiparésia esquerda e epilepsia). Nesse internamento, foi registado sarampo, de evolução benigna. Evoluiu com atraso de desenvolvimento, mas com aquisições progressivas e estabilidade da epilepsia. Pelos oito anos, foi tendo insidiosamente menor autonomia nas tarefas básicas, regressão da linguagem, seguido por mioclonias. O estudo complementar revelou bandas oligoclonais em espelho (sangue e líquido cefaloraquidiano), descargas periódicas no electroencefalograma, e evidência de positividade de anticorpos anti-sarampo, confirmativo do diagnóstico de PEES. O tratamento baseou-se na instituição de medidas de suporte gerais adequadas a uma doença crónica debilitante e já com sequelas neurológicas prévias.

APEES é uma doença de evolução progressiva e inevitável para a deterioração neurológica e morte. Apesar de diversas tentativas terapêuticas, desde há mais de três décadas, não existe tratamento eficaz que pareça alterar de forma consistente a sobrevida ou o prognóstico da doença. Reforça-se a importância da imunização como única forma eficaz de prevenir a doença.

description: Resumo

A varicela rickettsiana ou rickettsiose pustulosa é uma doença infecciosa causada pela Rickettsia akari, que se transmite pela mordedura de um ácaro que vive nos ratos, o Liponyssoides  sanguineus. Caracteriza-se por exantema maculopapulovesicular que suscita problemas de diagnóstico diferencial não apenas com a varicela, mas também com doenças mais graves como o antraz.

Dada a ameaça recente do bioterrorismo, a doença ganhou um interesse renovado nos EUA, sendo considerada uma doença infecciosa emergente.

A detecção recente de casos de serologia positiva em animais, alertou para a existência da doença em Portugal.

A presença de uma escara de inoculação, a ausência de aparecimento de vesículas em surtos, com lesões em vários estádios de evolução e a história de exposição a ratos, podem levantar a suspeita desta infecção.

Com esta revisão os autores pretendem divulgar a possibilidade deste diagnóstico, facto para o qual os profissionais de saúde devem estar alertados, perante o diagnóstico diferencial de exantemas variceliformes atípicos.
