description: Das Thema "E-Business" ist an der FHBB ein thematischer Schwerpunkt, zu dem am Institut für angewandte Betriebsökonomie (IAB) "ein Kompetenzzentrum E-Business" entsteht. Die FHBB engagiert sich darüber hinaus als Leading House im Kompetenznetzwerk E-Business der Schweizer Fachhochschulen (Ecademy). Jedes Jahr wird für die Studierenden der Betriebs-ökonomie im 3. und 4. Semesters eine Projektarbeit durchgeführt. Diese Arbeiten in Teams von 4-5 Studierenden, die über 9 Monate gehen, werden von einer interessierten Firma in Auftrag gegeben und von einem Dozierenden begleitet. Die Projektarbeit ist geprägt durch räumliche Distanz und zeitliche Asynchronität der Projektpartner. Da die FHBB nicht nur E-Business lehrt sondern auch bewusst praktiziert, wurde nach einem E-Business-Tool gesucht, welches nicht nur zur Unterstützung des Projektes an sich genutzt werden konnte, sondern welches den Projektpartnern auch die Erfahrung im Umgang mit dem elektronischen Medium vermitteln konnte.

description: Background: Knowledge of hepatitis C virus (HCV) is believed to be important in altering risk behaviour, improving engagement in care, and promoting willingness to initiate HCV treatment. We assessed factors associated with HCV knowledge and treatment willingness amongst people who inject drugs (PWID) in an era of direct acting antivirals. Methods: Data were derived from three prospective cohort studies of PWID in Vancouver, Canada, between June 2014 and May 2015. HCV knowledge and treatment willingness were assessed using a Likert scale. Multivariable linear regression identified factors associated with higher HCV knowledge and treatment willingness. Results: Amongst 630 participants, mean scores for HCV knowledge and treatment willingness were 25.41 (standard deviation [SD]: 2.52) out of 30, and 6.83 (SD: 1.83) out of 10, respectively. In multivariable analyses, Caucasian ancestry (adjusted linear regression model estimate [β] 0.50; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.17, 0.82), employment (β 0.76; 95% CI: 0.38, 1.13), diagnosed mental health disorder (β 0.44; 95% CI: 0.11, 0.78) and previous HCV treatment (β 0.94; 95% CI: 0.46, 1.43) were independently associated with higher knowledge. Downtown Eastside (DTES) residence (i.e., epicenter of Vancouver’s drug scene) was independently associated with lower knowledge (β −0.48; 95% CI: −0.81, −0.15). Greater HCV knowledge (β 0.12; 95% CI: 0.07, 0.17) was independently associated with higher HCV treatment willingness. DTES residence (β −0.31; 95% CI: −0.56, −0.06) and daily crack cocaine smoking (β −0.52; 95% CI: −0.92, −0.13) were independently associated with lower treatment willingness. Conclusion: Socioeconomic factors, such as neighborhood residence and employment, were associated with HCV knowledge. Higher HCV knowledge was associated with more HCV treatment willingness. Our findings suggest that increasing HCV knowledge amongst PWID may be an integral component of the HCV cascade of care and that efforts might be best targeted to individuals with greater socioeconomic disadvantage.

description: We present scaling relations between structural properties of nuclear star clusters and their host galaxies for a sample of early-type dwarf galaxies observed as part of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) Coma Cluster Survey. We have analysed the light profiles of 200 early-type dwarf galaxies in the magnitude range 16.0 < mF814W < 22.6 mag, corresponding to −19.0 < MF814W < −12.4 mag. Nuclear star clusters are detected in 80 per cent of the galaxies, thus doubling the sample of HST-observed early-type dwarf galaxies with nuclear star clusters. We confirm that the nuclear star cluster detection fraction decreases strongly towards faint magnitudes. The luminosities of nuclear star clusters do not scale linearly with host galaxy luminosity. A linear fit yields Lnuc∼L0.57±0.05gal. The nuclear star cluster-host galaxy luminosity scaling relation for low-mass early-type dwarf galaxies is consistent with formation by globular cluster (GC) accretion. We find that at similar luminosities, galaxies with higher Sérsic indices have slightly more luminous nuclear star clusters. Rounder galaxies have on average more luminous clusters. Some of the nuclear star clusters are resolved, despite the distance of Coma. We argue that the relation between nuclear star cluster mass and size is consistent with both formation by GC accretion and in situ formation. Our data are consistent with GC inspiralling being the dominant mechanism at low masses, although the observed trend with Sérsic index suggests that in situ star formation is an important second-order effect.

description: Targeting protein stability with small molecules has emerged as an effective tool to control protein abundance in a fast, scalable and reversible manner. The technique involves tagging a protein of interest (POI) with a destabilizing domain (DD) specifically controlled by a small molecule. The successful construction of such fusion proteins may, however, be limited by functional interference of the DD epitope with electrostatic interactions required for full biological function of proteins. Another drawback of this approach is the remaining endogenous protein. Here, we combined the Cre-LoxP system with an advanced DD and generated a protein regulation system in which the loss of an endogenous protein, in our case the tumor suppressor PTEN, can be coupled directly with a conditionally fine-tunable DD-PTEN. This new system will consolidate and extend the use of DD-technology to control protein function precisely in living cells and animal models.

description: The IL-2/JAK3/STAT-5 signaling pathway is involved on the initiation and maintenance of the transcription factor Foxp3 in regulatory T cells (Treg) and has been associated with demethylation of the intronic Conserved Non Coding Sequence-2 (CNS2). However, the role of the JAK/STAT pathway in controlling Foxp3 in the short term has been poorly investigated. Using two different JAK/STAT pharmacological inhibitors, we observed a detectable loss of Foxp3 after 10 min. of treatment that affected 70% of the cells after one hour. Using cycloheximide, a general inhibitor of mRNA translation, we determined that Foxp3, but not CD25, has a high turnover in IL-2 stimulated Treg. This reduction was correlated with a rapid reduction of Foxp3 mRNA. This loss of Foxp3 was associated with a loss in STAT-5 binding to the CNS2, which however remains demethylated. Consequently, Foxp3 expression returns to normal level upon restoration of basal JAK/STAT signaling in vivo. Reduced expression of several genes defining Treg identity was also observed upon treatment. Thus, our results demonstrate that Foxp3 has a rapid turn over in Treg partly controlled at the transcriptional level by the JAK/STAT pathway.

description: Communities (especially virtual communities) of Interest have been the focus of substantial discussion in academic literature. This paper addresses Communities of Interest within the leisure industry and discusses possible business models for the parties operating the platform. The described community platform is an innovative value added service concept for a mobile coordination support for individuals ? A Mobile Community Support System. In this paper we extend the discussion about mobile communities to hybrid communities. The communities are hybrid in two ways: they use two different access channels, the Web and mobile devices, and they are built on real-world leisure communities that constitute themselves in the form of buddy lists in the virtual world of an ICT supported platform. The discussion on possible business models is concluded with some final remarks about future research.

description: We propose a novel Recursive Field Framework (RFF) where space-time is not fundamental but emerges statistically from recursive quantum interactions. By deriving recursion directly from a Quantum Field Theory (QFT) perspective, we show that classical space-time is a renormalization fixed point of recursion dynamics. Our model leads to force unification without gauge symmetries and predicts measurable deviations in black hole evaporation, gravitational waves, and high-energy force interactions. Numerical simulations confirm that recursion leads to an emergent structure and introduces oscillatory deviations in black hole evaporation, which could be tested with next-generation telescopes. This work suggests a paradigm shift in fundamental physics, replacing space-time with recursive dynamics.

description: This work introduces a novel theoretical framework proposing that curvature is not a fundamental property of spacetime but an emergent effect induced by recursive quantum fields. The implications of this model lead to three key results: (1) force strength scales exponentially with spatial dimensionality, (2) time evolution follows a negative recursion principle, and (3) wormhole structures arise naturally from recursive curvature induction. We derive the fundamental equations governing these principles, validate the model through numerical simulations, and propose experimental tests for future validation.

What is it that makes managers and scientists talk about Customer Relationship Management? It is most of all the belief in the potential of computer-based CRM. The possibility of electronically gathering, storing, analyzing and using customer-specific data is rather tempting. On the other hand, users are sometimes not willing to disclose as much information as desired or needed by the vendor to establish and improve CRM. Besides the hesitation of customers to convey personal data, rather strict privacy laws exist ? at least in European countries.",Customer Profiles

description: Non-target screening of suspended particulate matter (SPM), collected from the German rivers Rhine and Saar, was conducted with the goal of identifying organic, permanent cationic contaminants and of estimating their temporal trends over an extended period. Therefore, annual composite samples of SPM, provided by the German Environmental Specimen Bank, were extracted and analyzed with high resolution LC-QToF-MS/MS. To facilitate the identification of substances belonging to the class "permanent cations", prioritization methods were applied utilizing the physicochemical properties of these compounds. These methods include both interactions of the analyte molecules with cation exchange resins and analyzing mass deviations when changing from non-deuterated to deuterated mobile phase solvents during LC-MS analysis. By applying both methods in a combined approach, 123 of the initially detected 2695 features were prioritized, corresponding to a 95% data reduction. This led to the identification of 22 permanent cationic species. The organic dyes Basic Yellow 28 and Fluorescent Brightener 363 as well as two quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) were detected in environmental samples for the first time to best of or knowledge. The other compounds include additional QACs, as well as quaternary tri-phenylphosphonium compounds (QPC/TPP). In addition to identification, we determined temporal trends of all compounds over a period of 13 years and assessed their ecotoxicological relevance based on estimated concentrations. The two QACs oleyltrimethylammonium and eicosyltrimethylammonium show significant increasing trends in the Rhine SPM and maximum concentrations in the Saar SPM of about 900 and 1400 mikrog/kg, respectively. In the case of the dyes, constant trends have been observed at the end of the studied period, but also maximum concentrations of 400 mikrog/kg for Basic Yellow 28 in 2006 and 1000 mikrog/kg for Fluorescent Brightener 363 in 2015, potentially indicating a strong ecotoxicological risk. © 2022 Elsevier Ltd

description: La societe quebecoise passe d'un regime unanime des valeurs a une conception pluraliste: elle reconnai t comme legitime et presente comme souhaitable le fait de la diversite. Pourtant, avec les annees 1990, on commence a se demander ou mene cette diversite. On peut dire que depuis la periode qu'on s'entend a appeler la Revolution tranquille, le discours du ministere de l'Education du Quebec au sujet du projet educatif quebecois donne une impression d'ambiguite et de confusion. Les recherches des Kohlberg, Perry, Fowler, de l'Ecole de psychologie de l'Universite Harvard permettent de voir la confusion et l'incoherence comme faisant partie d'un processus de croissance. Il serait plausible de considerer que les cultures connaissent d'abord une periode de conformisme des valeurs, puis, au cours de leur developpement, traversent des moments de desorientation, de profonde remise en question, ou de crise d'identite, pour enfin, avec la maturite, reinvestir le meilleur de leur passe dans un projet d'avenir ou ils elaborent leur nouvelle identite. Ainsi, la confusion que l'on trouve dans les documents du ministere de l'Education ou il est question des fins de l'education exprimeraient l'etape d'indecision, d'hesitation et de tatonnement que traverse la culture quebecoise dans son cheminement vers la maturite.

The production, circulation, consumption and ownership of scientific knowledge: historical perspectives
Creators: name: Fyfe, Aileen

description: Who owns the content of scientific research papers, and who has the right to circulate them? These questions are at the heart of current debates about improving access to the results of research. This working paper will use the history of academic publishing to explore the origins of our modern concerns. The Philosophical Transactions was founded in 1665 and is now the longest-running scientific journal in the world. This paper will follow the Transactions from its early days as a private venture of its editor to becoming the property of the Royal Society. It will explore the basis of the Society’s claim to ownership (which had very little to do with copyright) and reveals the ways in which the Society encouraged the circulation, reprinting and reuse of material in the Transactions during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. It will end by considering how things changed in the twentieth century, as commercial interests became increasingly influential in academic publishing and as new technologies brought new opportunities for circulating knowledge.
Diagnosis-specific social skills training with peer-nominated aggressive-disruptive and sensitive-isolated preadolescents.

Subjects: subject: Education, Sociology of.

description: The differential response of peer-nominated aggressive-disruptive and sensitive-isolated preadolescents to social skills training was investigated. In addition, two forms of intervention were compared: diagnosis-specific treatment (training tailored to the needs identified as characteristics of the particular diagnosis, aggressive or withdrawn) and crossover treatment (training tailored to the needs of the opposite diagnosis). Ninety low social status preadolescents were identified by screening 455 grade six students with self- and peer-ratings. Teacher ratings were then used to determine areas of specific skill deficit in the two populations of peer-nominated socially rejected preadolescents (aggressive-disruptive versus sensitive-isolated), and intervention programs were developed to address those deficits. Following diagnosis-specific treatment the peer-rated likeability and the social self-perception of both the aggressive-disruptive and the sensitive-isolated targets showed significant improvement. These improvements were effectively maintained at follow-up by the aggressive-disruptive targets but not by the sensitive-isolates. Similarly, following diagnosis-specific treatment, the peer-rated aggression score of the aggressive-disruptive targets, and the peer-rated social withdrawal score of the sensitive-isolated targets improved (i.e., diminished) significantly. Both groups effectively maintained these changes at follow-up. Crossover treatment effects were significantly weaker. Neither the peer-rated aggression sore of the aggressive-disruptive targets nor the peer-rated social withdrawal score of the sensitive-isolated targets changed significantly following crossover treatments. As well, while significant improvements were recorded immediately following crossover treatment in the peer-rated likeability of the aggressive-disruptive targets, and in the social self-perception of the sensitive-isolates, in neither case were the changes maintained to follow-up. The findings indicated that the benefits derived in social skills training were largely maintained at one year follow-up, despite the change of setting and peer group. Further, the results provide support for the hypothesis that subgroups of socially rejected preadolescents benefit differentially from social skills training. Support for tailoring intervention to meet the needs of these subgroups remains somewhat more tentative but nonetheless is evident. As well, the findings suggest that social withdrawal may be more refractory to intervention than studies conducted with younger participants with this diagnosis would suggest.

description: In this article, we consider the problem of infeasible solutions (i.e. solutions which violate one or several restrictions of an optimization problem) which can hardly be avoided when new solutions are generated by stochastic and other means during the run of an optimization algorithm. Since typical approaches for dealing with infeasibility such as using a repair mechanism, a punishment approach, or a simple recalculation of solutions are not fully satisfying in many problems, we suggest a new approach of tolerating and actively using infeasible solutions within the framework of multiobjective evolutionary algorithms. The novel evolutionary algorithm allows solving a multiobjective optimization problem (MOP) with continuous variables by approximating the efficient set. The algorithm uses populations of variable size and new rules for selecting solutions for the subsequent generations. In particular, some of the selected solutions may be infeasible such that the Pareto front is approached at the same time from two sides, the feasible set and a subset of the infeasible set. Since the considered in feasible solutions correspond to a dual optimization problem, we call the new algorithm primaldual multiobjective optimization algorithm, or PDMOEA. The algorithm is demonstrated by considering a numerical test problem and is compared with two other approaches for dealing with infeasibility. The example shows a specific strength of the new approach: By tunneling through infeasible regions, the population may more easily extent to new separated parts of the Pareto set.

description: User engagement (UE) is a quality of user experience characterized by the depth of an actor’s cognitive, temporal and/or emotional investment in an interaction with a digital system. Currently more art than science, UE has gained theoretical and methodological traction over the past decade, yet there is still a need to establish empirical links between UE and desired outcomes (e.g., learning, behavior change), and to understand the myriad user, system, contextual, etc. factors that predict successful digital engagement. This paper focuses on the relationship between UE and media format as a potential antecedent, and the outcome of learning, operationalized as short-term knowledge retention. Participants interacted with two human-interest stories in one of four media formats: video, audio, narrative text, or transcriptstyle text; short-term knowledge retention was measured using post-task multiple choice and short-answer questions. It was anticipated that format would have a strong effect on UE, and that more engaged users would recall more information about the stories. However, these hypotheses were not fully supported, and the nature of the relationship between UE and learning was more nuanced than expected. This research has implications for the design of information systems and, more fundamentally, the impetus to make digital environments engaging.

description: Exploration wells have been drilled in the Canadian Beaufort Sea, using artificial islands. Basically, an artificial island consists of a caisson retained structure made of steel or concrete and filled with a sand core. These structures are often built on top of a sand berm overlying sea bed soils. It has been acknowledged that during exploration of oil, it is possible that oil could spill on top of the sand filled core if a blowout occurs. The oil industry claimed that the oil would be contained in the soil mass during a blowout. This led to the motivation of the present study. The first objective of this research is to investigate experimentally whether the oil would migrate downward in the soil mass and eventually continue upward and contaminate the water surrounding the artificial island. The second objective is to determine the response of the oil contaminated interface between the soil and the structural material to the applied load. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

description: We present results of an all-sky search in the Parkes Pulsar Timing Array (PPTA) Data Release 1 data set for continuous gravitational waves (GWs) in the frequency range from 5 x 10(-9) to 2 x 10(-7) Hz. Such signals could be produced by individual supermassive binary black hole systems in the early stage of coalescence. We phase up the pulsar timing array data set to form, for each position on the sky, two data streams that correspond to the two GW polarizations and then carry out an optimal search for GW signals on these data streams. Since no statistically significant GWs were detected, we place upper limits on the intrinsic GW strain amplitude h(0) for a range of GW frequencies. For example, at 10(-8) Hz our analysis has excluded with 95 per cent confidence the presence of signals with h(0) >= 1.7 x 10(-14). Our new limits are about a factor of 4 more stringent than those of Yardley et al. based on an earlier PPTA data set and a factor of 2 better than those reported in the recent Arzoumanian et al. paper. We also present PPTA directional sensitivity curves and find that for the most sensitive region on the sky, the current data set is sensitive to GWs from circular supermassive binary black holes with chirp masses of 10(9) M-circle dot out to a luminosity distance of about 100 Mpc. Finally, we set an upper limit of 4 x 10(-3) Mpc(-3) Gyr(-1) at 95 per cent confidence on the coalescence rate of nearby (z less than or similar to 0.1) supermassive binary black holes in circular orbits with chirp masses of 10(10) M-circle dot.

description: Representing a phylogenetically old and very basic mechanism of inhibitory neurotransmission, glycine receptors have been implicated in the modulation of behavioral components underlying defensive responding toward threat. As one of the first findings being confirmed by genome-wide association studies for the phenotype of panic disorder and agoraphobia, allelic variation in a gene coding for the glycine receptor beta subunit (GLRB) has recently been associated with increased neural fear network activation and enhanced acoustic startle reflexes. On the basis of two independent healthy control samples, we here aimed to further explore the functional significance of the GLRB genotype (rs7688285) by employing an intermediate phenotype approach. We focused on the phenotype of defensive system reactivity across the levels of brain function, structure, and physiology. Converging evidence across both samples was found for increased neurofunctional activation in the (anterior) insular cortex in GLRB risk allele carriers and altered fear conditioning as a function of genotype. The robustness of GLRB effects is demonstrated by consistent findings across different experimental fear conditioning paradigms and recording sites. Altogether, findings provide translational evidence for glycine neurotransmission as a modulator of the brain’s evolutionary old dynamic defensive system and provide further support for a strong, biologically plausible candidate intermediate phenotype of defensive reactivity. As such, glycine-dependent neurotransmission may open up new avenues for mechanistic research on the etiopathogenesis of fear and anxiety disorders.

description: Growth factors are biochemical molecules that can drive specific cell fates. Lilith M. Caballero Aguilar completed her thesis titled 'Advanced structures for delivery of growth factors' in which she studied the key mediating parameters for the delivery of growth factors in tissue engineering platforms. Her investigation showed that the interaction between the biological considerations, the material and the delivery strategy, are pivotal components for optimal delivery of biologicals. She developed two novel delivery strategies and a protocol for synergistic encapsulation of bioactive agents.

description: Extreme Hitze führte in den letzten Jahren zu einem Anstieg von hitzebedingten Krankheiten und Todesfällen. Zum Schutz der menschlichen Gesundheit müssen Präventionsmaßnahmen auf verschiedenen Ebenen initiiert werden. Hierzu zählen Frühwarn- und Informationssysteme, um die Öffentlichkeit rechtzeitig aufzuklären und zu warnen. Es gilt sowohl individuell Betroffene als auch ambulante und stationäre Einrichtungen mit ihren vulnerablen Personengruppen zu erreichen. Da in Deutschland ein harmonisierter Rahmen für Hitzeanpassungsmaßnahmen bislang fehlt, zudem die Wahrscheinlichkeit für zukünftige Hitzeperioden zunimmt, wurden die Handlungsempfehlungen für Kommunen und Länder erarbeitet, um lokal- beziehungsweise regionalspezifische Hitzeaktionspläne zu entwickeln und damit hitzebedingte und UV-bedingte Erkrankungen und Todesfälle zu vermeiden. Jede zuständige Behörde soll hiermit ermutigt werden, die Entwicklung von Hitzeaktionsplänen voranzubringen, um für den nächsten Hitzesommer gewappnet zu sein.

description: As in recent years, heat can result in adverse health effects and heat waves can pose a problem for the public health sector. Aside from climate action measures, undertaking joint efforts to prevent the heat impacts on the population, vulnerable groups in particular, can help counteract this. Action plans would be suitable for this purpose to efficiently communicate the health impacts of climate change, e.g. of heat extremes, and to achieve an appropriate individual risk behaviour and to establish preventive options for action. The action plans should contain behavioural and setting-based preventive measures in all fields of prevention. These recommendations should be viewed as a uniform basis for drawing up and establishing coordinated and practical heat action plans in Germany directed at the level of the Federal States and municipalities. Drawing up heat action plans can significantly contribute to an overarching climate change adaptation strategy in the health sector.
