title: A Note on Teaching Binomial Confidence Intervals
Creators: name: Santner, Thomas J.
Publisher: name: Universitätsbibliothek der Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München
Year: 1997
Subjects: subject: 510

description: For constructing  confidence intervals for a binomial proportion $p$, Simon (1996, Teaching Statistics) advocates teaching one of two large-sample alternatives to the usual $z$-intervals $\hat{p} \pm 1.96 \times S.E(\hat{p})$ where $S.E.(\hat{p}) = \sqrt{ \hat{p} \times (1 - \hat{p})/n}$. His recommendation is based on the comparison of the closeness of the achieved coverage of each system of intervals to their nominal level. This teaching note shows that a different alternative to $z$-intervals, called $q$-intervals, are strongly preferred to either method recommended by Simon.  First, $q$-intervals are more easily motivated than even $z$-intervals because they require only a straightforward application of the Central Limit Theorem (without the need to estimate the variance of $\hat{p}$ and to justify that this perturbation does not affect the normal limiting distribution). Second, $q$-intervals do not involve ad-hoc continuity corrections as do the proposals in Simon.  Third, $q$-intervals have substantially superior achieved coverage than either system recommended by Simon.

description: To investigate parents' behavior in the triad (mother-father-infant) as compared to the dyad setting (mother-infant or father-infant), 20 families with 8-month-old infants were videotaped in a seminaturalistic laboratory setting. The Greenspan-Lieberman Observation System was used. Analysis revealed unexpected increases in overall and in affectionate parental behavior in the triad. Additionally, both mothers and fathers were more contingent to male infants in the dyad and to female infants in the triad. Other findings include (a) communication between parents was associated with decreased ongoing infant-directed interaction; and (b) more time alone with the infant was associated with decreased affectionate behavior, while more communication between parents was associated with increased affection toward the infant. The increases in parental behavior in the triad are discussed in terms of the characteristics of this population. It is concluded that setting and subject variables may significantly influence the manner in which parents interact with their infants.
FAULKNER AND BLACK SCHOLARS: A STUDY OF THE RESPONSE TO FAULKNER'S BLACK CHARACTERS
Creators: name: Itani, Suad Mutasim
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: The present study inspects nine black characters in Faulkner's fiction and surveys the criticism those characters have received from black scholars. The purpose is to show that Faulkner has studied the Negro with a keen and sympathetic eye. In fact, the number of black characters in Faulkner's work exceed 160 characters. Although most of them are minor, still they are convincing, and several occupy a central place in their stories. The nine studied here emphasize the variety and richness of Faulkner's depiction of black people and black life. These characters--differing in age, sex, social position and temperament--all share one thing: they are all true-to-life characters with whom we sympathize and sometimes identify. The study concludes that although Faulkner may start his career with a stereotypical image of the Negro, he frees himself of the stereotype and of racial prejudices. Such is the case even though some recent black critics have been unwilling to give him credit for this change.

description: Diese Arbeit untersucht die Art der Nutzung sogenannter Facebook-Fan-Pages durch drei österreichische Medienbetreiber: den öffentlich-rechtlichen ORF sowie die privaten Fernsehanbieter ATV und Puls4. Aus Literatur, Forschungstand sowie der theoretischen Perspektive des Uses and Gratification Approach (UGA) wurde dazu ein multiperspektivisches Analyseraster entwickelt. Aufbauend auf diesem wurden im Rahmen einer Inhaltsanalyse die Fan-Pages von insgesamt elf Formaten der ebengenannten Medienbetreiber für einen Zeitraum von vier Wochen untersucht. Die Ergebnisse zeigen unter anderem, dass nicht selten die rivaten Anbieter bei der Nutzung und Dialogorientierung auf Facebook vor dem ORF liegen.

Working with that and in the context of a content analysis eleven TV formats of the former named broadcasters were researched in a time period of four weeks. The results show among other things, that the private broadcasters are not rarely ahead of the public-sector broadcaster ORF as it is related on the utilization and dialog orientation on Facebook.

description: In many quality improvement experiments, there are one or more ``control'' factors that can be modified to determine a final product design or manufacturing process, and one or more ``environmental'' (or `` noise'') factors that vary under field or manufacturing conditions. In many applications, the product design or process design is considered seriously flawed if its performance is poor for any level of the environmental factor.  For example, if a particular prosthetic heart valve design has poor fluid flow characteristics for certain flow rates, then a manufacturer will not want to put this design into production.  Thus this paper considers cases when it is appropriate to measure a product's quality to be its {\em worst} performance over the levels of the environmental factor.  We consider the frequently occurring case of combined-array experiments and extend the subset selection methodology of Gupta (1956, 1965) to provide statistical screening procedures to identify product designs that maximize the worst case performance of the design over the environmental conditions for such experiments.  A case study is provided to illustrate the proposed procedures.

title: Framing der "Neuen Rechten"
Creators: name: Schmid, Fabian
Year: 2013

description: Diese Arbeit untersucht anhand des Framing-Konzepts, wie Ideologie in tagespolitische Kommunikation „übersetzt“ wird. Als Untersuchungsgegenstand wurde die Website „unzensuriert.at“ gewählt, die der politischen Gruppierung der „Neuen Rechten“ zuzuordnen ist. Anhand einer qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse wurden auf der Website benutzte Frames identifiziert und deren Verbindung zu einzelnen Ideologemen der „Neuen Rechten“ analysiert. Anschließend wurde diskutiert, welchen Zweck diese Form der politischen Kommunikation aus kommunikationswissenschaftlicher Perspektive erfüllt und welche potenziellen Gefahren für Demokratie und Meinungsvielfalt durch die fokussierte Nutzung derartiger Websites entstehen können.
description: This thesis is exploring how ideology is being expressed in everyday political communication via the use of „frames“. The research is focussed on „unzensuriert.at“, a website closely connected to the political „New Right“-movement. Numerous frames were identified through a qualitative approach (content analysis). These newly explored frames were then matched to the broader ideology of the „New Right“, therefore highlighting links between ideology and common acts of political communication. Subsequently the purpose of such political communication was discussed, also headlining potential dangers for pluralism and democracy.

OXIDATION OF MONOSACCHARIDES WITH OXYGEN IN ALKALINE SOLUTION
Creators: name: Shalaby, Mohammed Ashraf
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: The aim of this work was to develop a reliable liquid chromatographic method for the separation, identification and estimation of the products formed when saccharides are oxidized in alkaline solution with oxygen, and then to use this technique to quantitate the acids produced when glucose is subjected to such an oxidation. Two columns were tested, a reverse phase Waters Nova Pak C$\sb{18}$ column and a Bio-Rad cation exchange column (HPX-87H$\sp+$). The second column when eluted with.01 N H$\sb2$SO$\sb4$ and attached to a UV detector, was found to be satisfactory for the proposed study. Quantitative estimation of the products formed during the oxidation of glucose was achieved by withdrawing aliquots from the reaction mixture and injecting them directly into the chromatographic system. It was found that about 90% of the oxidation products formed were obtained from 1,2-enediols and less than 10% via the 2,3-enediols. It was also found that a mechanism proposed by H. S. Isbell can account for the acids produced.
title: Grünbuch Corporate Governance in Finanzinstituten und Vergütungspolitik
Creators: name: Baumgartner, Katrin
Year: 2013

description: Anlässlich des Grünbuchs „ Corporate Governance für Finanzinstitute und Vergütungspo-litik“, der europäischen Kommission, hat diese Arbeit es sich zur Aufgabe gemacht, eine Analyse des aktuellen Status-Quo durchzuführen. Es werden die derzeit bestehenden ge-setzlichen Vorschriften für Finanzinstitute und Vergütung von Österreich untersucht und mit jenen von Deutschland und Großbritannien verglichen. Da dieses Grünbuch europaweit Gültigkeit besitzt, werden auch noch aktuelle europarechtliche Vorgaben miteinbezogen. In der Vergangenheit hat sich anhand etlicher Unternehmensskandale wie beispielsweise das der Lehman Brothers oder der BAWAG gezeigt, dass derzeit etliche Problemfelder bestehen, welche auch von der europäischen Kommission in ihrem Grünbuch angesprochen worden sind. Diese Problemfelder waren der eigentliche Anreiz, dieses Grünbuch zu veröffentlichen und werden daher im Sinne einer umfassenden Analyse des gegenwärtigen Status ebenfalls in dieser Arbeit genauer diskutiert und beschrieben. Anschließend wird ein kurzer Einblick in andere themenverwandte Projekte gewährt, die ebenfalls in der EU geplant bzw. durchgeführt worden sind. Am Ende wird eine kritische Sichtweise vor-gestellt, die zwar weniger populär ist, mit der man das Streben nach immer mehr und mehr Gesetzen aber ebenfalls betrachten könnte.
description: Based on the European Commission’s Green Paper on “Corporate governance in financial institutions and remuneration policies” the main objective of this master thesis is a thorough analysis of the present status quo in Austria. The study covers the present legal framework for Financial Services Companies for their governance and compensation and compares the Austrian regulations with the respective systems in Germany and the UK. Since the Green Book is applicable Europe wide the prevailing European rules are included in the survey. Past company breakdowns such as for example Lehman Brothers or BAWAG demonstrate the actual problem areas which are addressed by the European Commission. Those problems were the main reason for the initiative to publish the Green Book and in the interest of a comprehensive analysis they are covered in this thesis in more details. Furthermore, a short overview is given in related areas which are also subject to European considerations and further initiatives. Concluding considerations are given to a critical view of the limits of more rules and regulations, even though they might be seen as necessary.

Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This paper presents the research, analysis, design, application and testing of an information management support system for broadcast radio managers. The interpretation of data, interviews and on-the-job work experience revealed a need for a specific management tool that could optimize the effectiveness of the radio manager's organization of data, generate reports and supply timely, relevant, current and historical information to use in various decision-making opportunities. It should be noted that, due to the selection procedures, the participating managers constitute a purposive survey sample, not a true probability sample. Nevertheless, this study provides useful insight into the information needs of the broadcast radio sales manager through the research, design and implementation of a system that will deliver decision-making information for effective planning and control.

description: Background: This study seeks to evaluate the impact of breast cancer (BRCA) gene status on tumor dissemination pattern, surgical outcome and survival in a multicenter cohort of paired primary ovarian cancer (pOC) and recurrent ovarian cancer (rOC). Patients and Methods: Medical records and follow-up data from 190 patients were gathered retrospectively. All patients had surgery at pOC and at least one further rOC surgery at four European high-volume centers. Patients were divided into one cohort with confirmed mutation for BRCA1 and/or BRCA2 (BRCAmut) and a second cohort with BRCA wild type or unknown (BRCAwt). Patterns of tumor presentation, surgical outcome and survival data were analyzed between the two groups. Results: Patients with BRCAmut disease were on average 4 years younger and had significantly more tumor involvement upon diagnosis. Patients with BRCAmut disease showed higher debulking rates at all stages. Multivariate analysis showed that only patient age had significant predictive value for complete tumor resection in pOC. At rOC, however, only BRCAmut status significantly correlated with optimal debulking. Patients with BRCAmut disease showed significantly prolonged overall survival (OS) by 24.3 months. Progression-free survival (PFS) was prolonged in the BRCAmut group at all stages as well, reaching statistical significance during recurrence. Conclusions: Patients with BRCAmut disease showed a more aggressive course of disease with earlier onset and more extensive tumor dissemination at pOC. However, surgical outcome and OS were significantly better in patients with BRCAmut disease compared with patients with BRCAwt disease. We therefore propose to consider BRCAmut status in regard to patient selection for cytoreductive surgery, especially in rOC.

description: The Q4 class I gene has been shown to participatein gene conversion events within the mouse majorhistocompatibility complex. Its complete genomic nucleotidesequence has been determined. The 5' half of Q4resembles H-2 genes more strongly than other Q genes.Its 3' end, in contrast, is Q-like and contains a translationalstop signal in exon 5 which predicts a polypeptide withan incomplete membrane spanning segment. The presenceof two inverted B1 repeats suggests that part of the Q4gene may be mobile within the genome. Gene transfer experimentshave shown that the Q4 gene encodes aß2-microglobulin associated polypeptide of Mr 41 000. Asimilar protein was found in activated mouse spleen cells.The Q4 polypeptide was found to be secreted both byspleen cells and by transfected fibroblasts and was not detectableon the cell surface. Antibody binding and twodimensionalgel electrophoresis indicate that the Q4molecule is identical to a mouse class I polypeptide, Qb-1,which has been previously described.

SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE AND ROMAN JAKOBSON ON THE MUSIC OF POETRY

description: Following the same discriminating process adopted by Coleridge and Jakobson, my thesis aims to define their conception of poetical language by means of consecutive binary distinctions. First, it examines their concept of "literariness" as the specific difference of verbal works of art from non-artistic verbal works. Second, it analyses their concept of "verse" in its specific difference from other verbal works of art. Such an interpretation overcomes both the reduction of Jakobson's theory to a conception of "art for art for art's sake" and the impass encountered by most scholars in the explication of Coleridge's conception of "poem." Literary formalism has been indiscriminately charged with denying the cognitive element of poetry. Coleridge and Jakobson, on the contrary, showed that the superior expressiveness of poetic utterances inheres not in the "superaddition" of poetic devices, but in the semantic intensity that they acquire in the literary work of art.

description: Purpose To examine sex-specific differences in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) in relation to abdominal fat accumulation, psoas muscle density, tumor size, pathology, and survival, and to evaluate possible associations with RCC characteristics and outcome. Methods A total of 470 patients with RCC who underwent nephrectomy between 2006 and 2019 were included in this retrospective study. Specific characteristics of RCC patients were collected, including sex, height, tumor size, grade, and data on patient survival, if available. Abdominal fat measurements and psoas muscle area were determined at the level of L3 (cm(2)). Results Women had a higher subcutaneous (p < 0.001) and men had a higher visceral fat area, relative proportion of visceral fat area (p < 0.001), and psoas muscle index (p < 0.001). Logistic regression analysis showed an association between higher psoas muscle index and lower grade tumors [women: odds ratio (OR) 0.94, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.89-0.99, p = 0.011; men: OR 0.97 (95% CI, 0.95-0.99, p = 0.012]. Univariate regression analysis demonstrated an association between psoas muscle index and overall survival (women: OR 1.41, 95% CI 1.03-1.93, p = 0.033; men: OR 1.62 (95% CI, 1.33-1.97, p < 0.001). In contrast, there were no associations between abdominal fat measurements and tumor size, grade, or survival. Also, there were no sex-specific differences in tumor size or tumor grades. Conclusions A higher preoperative psoas muscle index was independently associated with overall survival in RCC patients, with a stronger association in men compared with women. In addition, the psoas muscle index showed an inverse association with tumor grade, whereby this association was slightly more pronounced in women than in men.

description: Purpose To identify risk factors associated with the occurrence of complete uterine rupture (CUR) in comparison to partial uterine rupture (PUR) to further investigate to what extent a standardized definition is needed and what clinical implications can be drawn. Methods Between 2005 and 2017 cases with CUR and PUR at Charite University Berlin, Germany were retrospectively identified. Demographic, obstetric and outcome variables were analyzed regarding the type of rupture. Binary multivariate regression analysis was conducted to identify risk factors associated with CUR. In addition, the intended route of delivery (trial of labor after cesarean delivery (TOLAC) and elective repeat cesarean delivery (ERCD)), divided according to the type of rupture, was compared. Results 92 cases with uterine rupture were identified out of a total of 64.063 births (0.14%). Puerperal complications were more frequent in CUR (67.9 versus 41.1%, p = 0.021). Multiparity >= 3 was more frequent in CUR (31 versus 10.7%, p = 0.020). Factors increasing the risk for CUR were parity >= 3 (OR = 3.8, p = 0.025), previous vaginal birth (OR = 4.4, p = 0.011), TOLAC (OR = 6.5, p < 0.001) and the use of oxytocin (OR = 2.9, p = 0.036). After multivariate analysis, the only independent risk factor associated with CUR was TOLAC (OR = 7.4, p = 0.017). Conclusion TOLAC is the only independent risk factor for CUR. After optimized antenatal counselling TOLAC and ERCD had comparable short-term maternal and fetal outcomes in a high resource setting. A high number of previous vaginal births does not eliminate the risk of uterine rupture. A clear distinction between CUR and PUR is essential to ensure comparability among studies.

A STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS OF HANUMAN AS A MYTHOLOGICAL FIGURE
Creators: name: Sattar, Arshia
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023
Subjects: classificationCode: 5004
subject: Religious studies

description: This thesis traces the career of Hanuman in Valmiki's Ramayana, Tulsidas, Ramcaritmanas, and the Hanuman Calisa. In each of these texts, Hanuman is presented in a different light and thus performs a different function. Hanuman is analyzed in terms of the various aspects of his personality, and his antecedents and heritage. The thesis finds that in making his leap to Lanka in the Ramayana, Hanuman changes from a superior monkey into a bhakta. He also sets up the bhakti universe. Hanuman enters the Ramcaritmanas a bhakta, and is here presented as the model for Tulsi's creed of Rama-bhakti. In the Hanuman Calisa, he reaches the pinnacle of his career. He has the status of a demi-god, a result of his devotion to Rama. The thesis includes a translation of the Hanuman Calisa and a brief commentary on the text.

description: Background Lymphedema is a frequent complication after surgical treatment in gynecological oncology with substantial impact on patients ' Quality of Life (QoL). Little is known about screening instruments and prevention. Primary objective was to develop and validate the German version of a 13 items screening questionnaire (SQ) developed by Yost et al. to provide a valid instrument for early diagnosis of lower extremity lymphedema (LEL). Methods After translation the SQ was used in pt. with cervical or endometrial cancer who underwent pelvic/paraaortic Lymphadenectomy. Sensitivity and specifity were analysed regarding possible prediction and influencing factors of LEL. Results 67 pt. had LEL (N = 128). Nearly 50% of women in each group (38 in LEL + e 30 in LEL - ) had a body mass index (BMI) > 30 kg/m(2). Number of removed lymphnodes, radiotherapy and were significantly associated with development of LEL. Translated Mayo Clinic questionnaire can be used with reliable specifity and sensitivity. Four additional questions improved the diagnostic accuracy of the SQ. Conclusions The translated SQ is a valuable and predictive tool for screening and early detection of LEL in Gynecological cancer surgery and can even improved by adding simple questions.
Categorie testuali nei documenti di lavoro dei compositori

description: Fino al ventesimo secolo i compositori non hanno mai pubblicato musica nel senso stretto del termine, ma solamente testi prodotti in forma di manoscritto e quindi licenziati per lo più come testi a stampa. La musica ha origine solamente a partire da questo presupposto. Per investigare sul pensiero e sul lavoro compositivo, dunque, devono essere presi in considerazione principalmente i veri e propri testimoni manoscritti, non la musica attraverso essi prodotta. Con la “scrittura” dei propri documenti di lavoro – questi ultimi intesi come somma di tutte le tracce materiali e tangibili riconducibili al compositore stesso – i compositori consegnano non solo testi musicali (composizioni, schizzi, abbozzi, frammenti etc.) ma anche altre tipologie testuali in cui il testo musicale si trova incastonato. Anzitutto è necessario distinguere in maniera sistematica le forme, le funzioni e i significati di queste differenti tipologie testuali, quindi bisogna indagare sulle relazioni che tra loro intercorrono. Solamente attraverso il riconoscimento di queste differenti categorie testuali è possibile ricostruire la dinamica dei processi di lavoro e di scrittura. Dalla riflessione sulla tanto centrale quanto complessa categoria di “testo” derivano, per la critica genetica dei documenti di lavoro dei compositori, conseguenze che vanno valutate su un piano metodologico.

FACTORS AFFECTING CHLORINATION OF XAD-4 RESIN AND SYNTHESIS OF A COBALT ANTHRAQUINONE SUBSTITUTION INERT COMPLEX
Creators: name: Sweeney, Annette G.
Publisher: name: American University

description: Environmental mutagens are detected by the Ames Salmonella mutagenicity assay. Chlorination of water produces mutagens and certain anthraquinones are mutagenic in the Ames test. This work investigated the conditions which influenced the production of artifactual mutagens when chlorine reacts with the resin used to concentrate water samples. Free chlorine reacted at higher rates with the XAD-4 resin and produced more artifactual mutagens than monochloramine did. Decreased pH below 7 resulted in faster resin chlorination and greater artifactual mutagenicity. Additional chloride ion in the reactant solution produced faster resin chlorination. Danthron, an anthraquinone which produces oxidative mutagens in the Ames assay, formed a substitution inert complex with cobalt. This complex may be equal to danthron in antineoplastic activity, but reduced in mutagenicity. It may be less biologically toxic to normal cells than other antitumor anthraquinone agents.

description: Purpose This study aims to evaluate the level of psychological distress for women with breech compared to cephalic presentation. We hypothesized, that women with breech presentation have higher levels of depression, stress and anxiety. Secondary objectives were to analyze potential demographic risk factors and comorbidity of psychological distress in breech pregnancy. Methods The breech study group was formed by 379 women with breech presentation. A sample of 128 women with cephalic presentation was recruited during routine clinical care. Depression, anxiety and stress symptoms were ascertained by means of the Depression-Anxiety-Stress-Score (DASS)-21 questionnaire. Categorial data was analyzed with Chi-square or exact test, continuous data with unpaired t test or Mann-Whitney U test. Demographic risk factors were identified using a binary logistic regression model. Results Prevalence of psychological distress among women with breech was not higher compared to those of other pregnant women. Symptomatic depression, anxiety and stress affected 5.8%, 14.5% and 11.9% of women with breech, respectively. Decreasing age was identified as a risk factor for anxiety (p = 0.006). Multiparity increased risk for depression (p = 0.001), for anxiety (p = 0.026) and for perinatal stress (p = 0.010). More than 80% of women with depressive symptoms had comorbidities of psychological distress. Conclusions Breech presentation compared to cephalic presentation was not associated with higher levels of psychological distress. However, breech pregnancies are affected by symptoms of potential mental disorder. Multiparous women and younger women may need additional support and would benefit from a standardized screening tool for the assessment of perinatal psychological distress.
