Last Common Ancestor (LCA)
Proteobacteria

description: The determination of the last common ancestor (LCA) of a group of species plays a vital role in evolutionary theory. Traditionally, an LCA is inferred by the rooting of a fully resolved species tree. From a theoretical perspective, however, inference of the LCA amounts to the reconstruction of just one branch - the root branch - of the true species tree, and should therefore be a much easier task than the full resolution of the species tree. Discarding the reliance on a hypothesised species tree and its rooting leads us to re-evaluate what phylogenetic signal is directly relevant to LCA inference, and to recast the task as that of sampling the total evidence from all gene families at the genomic scope. Here we reformulate LCA and root inference in the framework of statistical hypothesis testing and outline an analytical procedure to formally test competing a-priori LCA hypotheses and to infer confidence sets for the earliest speciation events in the history of a group of species. Applying our methods to two demonstrative datasets we show that our inference of the opisthokonta LCA is well in agreement with the common knowledge. Inference of the proteobacteria LCA shows that it is most closely related to modern Epsilonproteobacteria, raising the possibility that it may have been characterized by a chemolithoautotrophic and anaerobic life-style. Our inference is based on data comprising between 43% (opisthokonta) and 86% (proteobacteria) of all gene families. Approaching LCA inference within a statistical framework renders the phylogenomic inference powerful and robust.

description: Studies of human semen in cell or tissue culture are hampered by the high cytotoxic activity of this body fluid. The components responsible for the cell damaging activity of semen are amine oxidases, which convert abundant polyamines, such as spermine or spermidine in seminal plasma into toxic intermediates. Amine oxidases are naturally present at low concentrations in seminal plasma and at high concentrations in fetal calf serum, a commonly used cell culture supplement. Here, we show that, in the presence of fetal calf serum, seminal plasma, as well as the polyamines spermine and spermidine, are highly cytotoxic to immortalized cells, primary blood mononuclear cells, and vaginal tissue. Thus, experiments investigating the effect of polyamines and seminal plasma on cellular functions should be performed with great caution, considering the confounding cytotoxic effects. The addition of the amine oxidase inhibitor aminoguanidine to fetal calf serum and/or the utilization of serum-free medium greatly reduced this serum-induced cytotoxicity of polyamines and seminal plasma in cell lines, primary cells, and tissues and, thus, should be implemented in all future studies analyzing the role of polyamines and semen on cellular functions.

Real Time Traffic Accident Detection Based on The Derivative of Traffic Parameters
Creators: name: M.Mohamed Faisal, G.Anusuya
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: This novel approach for real-time traffic accident detection by leveraging the derivative of traffic parameters. Through a comprehensive study, both the traffic flow and occurrences of vehicle accidents are analyzed on a daily basis. The investigation reveals a correlation between the fluctuations in traffic flow and the incidence of accidents on roadways, indicating a potential predictive relationship. The proposed system utilizes surveillance camera video records for real-time monitoring of public traffic conditions, with a specific emphasis on crowded situations. To enhance accuracy and efficiency, a deep learning in Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) algorithm is employed to analyze the video data. The primary objective is to promptly identify potential accidents or emergencies and notify police stations, thereby facilitating timely and effective response measures. This innovative approach combines the analysis of traffic parameters with advanced video processing techniques to create a robust real-time accident detection system, contributing to the enhancement of overall road safety and emergency response capabilities.

description: BACKGROUND: Congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI) is the most common cause of persistent hypoglycaemia in infancy that leads to unfavourable neurological outcome if not treated adequately. In patients with severe diffuse CHI it remains under discussion whether pancreatic surgery should be performed or intensive medical treatment with the acceptance of recurrent episodes of mild hypoglycaemia is justified. Near-total pancreatectomy is associated with high rates of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus and exocrine pancreatic insufficiency. Little is known about the management and long-term glycaemic control of CHI patients with diabetes after pancreatic surgery. We searched the German/Austrian DPV database and compared the course of 42 CHI patients with diabetes to that of patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Study groups were compared at diabetes onset and after a follow-up period of 6.1 [3.3-9.7] (median [interquartile range]) years. RESULTS: The majority of CHI patients with diabetes were treated with insulin (85.2% [70.9-99.5] at diabetes onset, and 90.5% [81.2-99.7] at follow-up). However, compared to patients with T1DM, significantly more patients in the CHI group with diabetes were treated with conventional insulin therapy (47.8% vs. 24.4%, p = 0.03 at diabetes onset, and 21.1% vs. 6.4% at follow-up, p = 0.003), and only a small number of CHI patients were treated with insulin pumps. Daily insulin dose was significantly lower in CHI patients with diabetes than in patients with T1DM, both at diabetes onset (0.3 [0.2-0.5] vs. 0.6 IE/kg/d [0.4-0.8], p = 0.003) and follow-up (0.8 [0.4-1.0] vs. 0.9 [0.7-1.0] IE/kg/d, p = 0.02), while daily carbohydrate intake was comparable in both groups. Within the first treatment year, HbA1c levels were significantly lower in CHI patients with diabetes (6.2% [5.5-7.9] vs. 7.2% [6.5-8.2], p = 0.003), but increased to a level comparable to that of T1DM patients at follow-up. Interestingly, in CHI patients, the risk of severe hypoglycaemia tends to be higher only at diabetes onset (14.8% vs. 5.8%, p = 0.1). CONCLUSIONS: In surgically treated CHI patients insulin treatment needs to be intensified in order to achieve good glycaemic control. Our data furthermore emphasize the need for improved medical treatment options for patients with diazoxide- and/or octreotide-unresponsive CHI.

description: The collective perception service, which is in progress of standardization by the European Telecommunication Standards Institute, allows to share perception information among connected vehicles and road side units and thus can increase both safety and traffic efficiency. However, based on our practical experience from our research on infrastructure support of automated vehicles on a pilot installation in real traffic, in this work, we outline some drawbacks of the existing draft when applied to real-world environments. We observe that the strict cartesian representation does not fit well with typical models used to predict the motion of vehicles in automated driving applications. In theses cases, transformations and approximations are required, which increases the uncertainty about the perceived objects. In this work, we demonstrate the effect of such transformation errors using examples and propose an extension of the standard to prevent unnecessary transformations and approximations. Additionally, we show that the collective perception service can further be enhanced by allowing the optional transmission of motion predictions of perceived objects. That is, receivers benefit from saving computation time for object predictions and from the reception of high-quality motion predictions from road side units that are more accurate due to their knowledge of local peculiarities.

description: Intracellular alpha-synuclein has numerous effects on different functions of the cell. Although it is expressed in a wide spectrum of cell types from different lineages, most of our knowledge about it was generated by studying neuronal or glial cells. However, the role of immune cells in Parkinson’s disease and related synucleinopathies has recently emerged. Altered immune cell phenotypes and functions have been reported not only in animal models, but also in human disease. While the response of immune cells to extracellular alpha-synuclein has been thoroughly studied, insights into the effects of endogenously expressed or taken-up alpha-synuclein on the function of immune cells remain scarce. Such insights may prove to be important for understanding the complex cellular and molecular events resulting in neurodegeneration and aid the development of novel therapies. We review the current state of knowledge about how alpha-synuclein and its pathologic manifestations affect the phenotype and function of peripheral and central nervous system (CNS) immune cells, and discuss the potential of this topic for advancing our understanding of synucleinopathies.

Year: 2024

description: This addresses the cloud computing in critical issue of data security by accent the potential vulnerabilities that exist between users and cloud service providers, despite the security measures implemented by the latter. The conventional model, where cloud service providers (CSPs) possess both encryption and decryption keys, poses a significant threat to data security and user privacy, as data may be transmitted without user consent. To mitigate this threat, the study proposes the integration of a Third-Party Auditor (TPA) as an external entity responsible for managing and validating the security of cloud-stored data. In this proposed model, users encrypt their data before transmission, and the TPA conducts a thorough verification process before allowing the data to be stored in the cloud. This approach ensures that the data remains confidential and unchanged during both transit and storage. In conclusion, the study provides a practical and effective solution for users looking for robust data privacy and security in cloud computing environments, offering a structured and secured approach to data storing and retrieval

description: On Thursday 24th May 2012, the International Neuroinformatics Coordinating Facility (INCF) and NeuroDevNet jointly hosted a satellite workshop at the Canadian Association for Neuroscience annual meeting in Vancouver, Canada, on the theme of Canadian Neuroinformatics. The aim of the workshop was to help build the Canada neuroinformatics community, enabling Canadian scientists from diverse neuroinformatics-related fields to gather, exchange knowledge and discuss whether there was community desire for Canada to join the INCF.

The workshop comprised a rich scientific agenda, which displayed the diversity and strength of Canadian neuroinformatics research, and concluded with a discussion about Canada’s future involvement with INCF. Scientists at the meeting were very supportive of the idea of Canada joining INCF and produced a next steps action plan to build the neuroinformatics community in Canada in preparation for it forming an INCF National Node. Subsequent to the meeting, the community-building plan has been largely put into action and momentum within the community continues to build

description: Das Aufgabenstellung dieser Magisterarbeit ist, das Verhältnis von Glaube und Wissenschaft in den Dokumenten der katholischen Kirche nach dem II. Vatikanischen Konzil bis heute darzustellen und zu verstehen. Die Methodologie der Magisterarbeit ist durch die Verwendung lehramtlicher Dokumente der Kirche vorausgesetzt. Die Arbeit hat deskriptiven und analytischen Charakter. Im ersten Kapitel ist der historische Aspekt des Verhältnisses von Glaube und Wissenschaft dargestellt, mit besonderer Berücksichtigung der Zeit unmittelbar vor dem II. Vatikanischen Konzil, jener Dokumente des Konzils, die sich mit dieser Problematik beschäftigen und der Zeit nach dem Konzil bis zum Pontifikat von Papst Johannes Paul II. Das zweite Kapitel ist dem Beitrag von Papst Johannes Paul II. zum Dialog von Glaube und Wissenschaft gewidmet. Dazu gehört die erneute Analyse des Falles Galileo Galilei, die kurz nach dem Anfang des Pontifikats von Johannes Paul II. begonnen wurde, Reden des Papstes zu den Wissenschaftlern zwischen 1979 und 1997 und schließlich die Enzyklika Fides et Ratio von Papst Johannes Paul II. über das Verhältnis von Glaube und Vernunft, welche im 1998 herausgegeben wurde. Im ersten Teil des zweiten Kapitels, der der neuerlichen Auseinandersetzung mit dem Fall Galileo Galilei gewidmet ist, ist der Verlauf des Konfliktes ausführlich beschrieben. Die terminologische Angleichung der Begriffe und die Anerkennung der Autonomie der Naturwissenschaften sind die größten Beiträge der kirchlichen Dokumente des II. Vatikanischen Konzils und späterer Dokumente, die auf die Dokumente des Konzils folgten. Das Verhältnis zwischen Glaube und Wissenschaft hat mit der Koexistenz angefangen, auf die dann die Trennung folgte. Die spätere Annäherung begann mit dem Bedürfnis der gegenseitigen Anerkennung. Die Arbeit zeigt auf, dass nach wie vor ein Bedarf an mehr Toleranz im Dialog zwischen kirchlichen Lehramt und Naturwissenschaftlern besteht.

description: Mental health problems have become one of the most common causes of incapacity for work, and engender high costs to society. Especially managerial behavior was found to have a great impact on employees’ well-being. In order to support those in leading positions in dealing with their own, as well as their employees’, psychological stress factors, we conducted a specific manager training. At the same time, we wanted to find out about the training’s short- and long-term e ects. Participants were asked to give information about their knowledge and attitudes concerning mental health (Mental Health Knowledge Schedule, Social Distance Scale), as well as to comment on their own health condition (12-Item Short Form Health Survey, Patient Health Questionnaire) and working situation (E ort–Reward Inventory, Irritation Scale). Data were collected at baseline, as well as 3 and 12 months after the training. Results show long-term improvements in knowledge and attitudes measured by the Mental Health Knowledge Schedule (MAKS: Mt1 = 22.88, Mt2 = 23.79, Mt3 = 23.79, p = 0.005) but not in the Social Distance Scale (SoDi: Mt1 = 0.96, Mt2 = 0.85, Mt3 = 0.84, p = 0.165). Over the period of time observed, no changes were found regarding health- or work-related instruments. Due to the uncontrolled design of the study, further research is needed to determine the exact effectiveness.

Creators: name: Kapri, Gregor Alexander
Year: 2009

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit befasst sich mit dem zivilen Krisen- und Konfliktmanagement innerhalb der Europäischen Union. Die Arbeit unterteilt sich in drei Teile: dich Suche nach Begrifflichkeiten wie Frieden, Krieg, Krise, Konflikt die Darstellung Europas als gelungenes Friedenskonzept das zivile Krisen- und Konfliktmanagement als neues Instrument innerhalb der Europäischen Außen- und Sicherheitspolitik. Hauptaugenmerk wurde darauf gelegt Kontinuitäten aufzuzeigen die zu nachhaltigen Erfolgen in der Wiederherstellung und Sicherung von Frieden führen. Dies zielt zum Einen auf Europa ab, welches durch die verheerenden Kriege im 20. Jht. zentraler Schauplatz bis ungekannter Gewalt wurde, mit der Europäischen Union, zum zweiten, nach 1945 ein bis jetzt erfolgreiches Friedensprojekt startete das sich bis heute erhalten hat. Innerhalb der Politikbereiche der Europäischen Union nimmt das zivile Krisen- und Konfliktmanagement eine besondere Stellung ein. Dies leitet sich vor allem aus der Tatsache ab, dass die EU nach Außen, in Fällen von Krisen und Konflikten, als eine einheitliche Institution, mit einem dahinterstehenden, vermeidlich, einheitlichen Rechtskörper bildet. Dieser Effekt wirkt nach innen wie außen kann langfristig dazu führen das die Europäische Union als „global player“ in der Weltpolitik erscheint. Dem letzten Teil der Arbeit wird ein empirischer Untersuchung beigefügt, welche sich mit den konkreten Einsätzen des Instruments des zivilen Krisen- und Konfliktmanagements beschäftigt.

description: A coherent sensor network without hardware link between the network nodes can be set up based on a single MIMO-radar and several incoherent repeater elements spatially distributed. The repeater sends back the radar signal on the same way it was impinging onto the repeater. All repeater elements have an integrated double-sideband modulator, which allows to separate the signals of different repeater elements at the radar. For angle estimation, the phases of the signals of the repeater elements are crucial, but due to an unknown initial phase of the modulation signal, they cannot be determined directly. Thus, a reconstruction of the modulation phase is necessary for network-based coherent angle estimation. In this paper, a concept for phase reconstruction in such type of networks is proposed, exploiting both sidebands of the modulated signal of the repeater elements.

description: Reduced lung function is associated with overall and cardiovascular mortality. Chronic low grade systemic inflammation is linked to impaired lung function and cardiovascular outcomes. We assessed the association of lung function with overall 8-year mortality in 867 individuals of the Activity and Function in the Elderly study using confounder-adjusted Cox proportional hazards models (including gait speed and daily walking time as measures of physical function) without and with adjustment for inflammatory and cardiac markers. Forced expiratory volume in 1 s/forced vital capacity ( FEV1/FVC) but not FVC was related to mortality after adjustment for physical function and other confounders. Additional adjustment for inflammatory and cardiac markers did not change the hazard ratios (HR) markedly, e.g. for a FEV1/ FVC below 0.7 from 1.55 [95% confidence-interval (CI) 1.14–2.11] to 1.49 (95% CI 1.09–2.03). These independent associations were also observed in the apparently lung healthy subpopulation with even higher HRs up to 2.76 (95% CI 1.52–4.93). A measure of airflow limitation but not vital capacity was associated with overall mortality in this community-dwelling older population and in the subgroup classified as lung healthy. These associations were independent of adjustment for inflammatory and cardiac markers and support the role of airflow limitation as independent predictor of mortality in older adults.

Um darzustellen, wie bedeutend eine autoritative Persönlichkeit für Schüler ist, wurde ein Vergleich zu zwei reformpädagogische Richtungen unternommen, der verdeutlichen soll, dass auch in der Schule auf ein Einwirken der Lehrer, also auf Autorität und Macht nicht verzichtet werden kann.
Demografisches Bild der Fertilität in Deutschland vor und nach dem Zensus 2011: Noch keine Trendwende in Sicht

description: Die Bevölkerungsvorausberechnungen des Statistischen Bundesamtes zeigen einen voraussichtlichen Rückgang der Geborenenzahl in den 2020er Jahren. Zu dieser Entwicklung wird eine tendenziell rückläufige Anzahl der potenziellen Mütter in Kombination mit einer angenommenen weiterhin niedrigen Geburtenrate führen. Angesichts der vor dem Zensus 2011 vorliegenden empirischen Befunde gab es keine Hinweise darauf, dass eine im nächsten Jahrzehnt eventuell deutlich steigende Geburtenhäufigkeit die sinkende Anzahl potenzieller Mütter kompensieren würde. Der Zensus 2011 hat aber zu Korrekturen in der Bevölkerungsgröße, in der Altersstruktur und folglich in den relativen Maßzahlen der Fertilität wie z.B. der zusammengefassten Geburtenziffer und der endgültigen Kinderzahl je Frau geführt.
Ziel dieses Beitrags ist es, die Auswirkungen des Zensus 2011 auf die Maßzahlen der Fertilität zu quantifizieren und bisherige Befunde zu den Fertilitätstrends auf der zensusjustierten Datengrundlage auf ihre Gültigkeit zu prüfen. Ein besonderes Augenmerk liegt auf den Analysen zur Kohortenfertilität und den Folgen der immer späteren Familiengründung für die endgültige Kinderzahl und die Paritätsverteilung. Anhand von zahlreichen Befunden wird gezeigt, dass ein kontinuierlicher Wiederanstieg der endgültigen Kinderzahl je Frau in den kommenden zwei Jahrzehnten ohne Trendwende im Geburtenverhalten nicht realisierbar ist. Allein um den zunehmenden Rückgang der Fertilität im Alter unter 30 Jahren ab Jahrgang 1974 zu kompensieren und dadurch eine Stabilisierung der endgültigen Kinderzahl auf dem relativ niedrigen Niveau zwischen 1,5 und 1,6 Kindern je Frau zu erreichen, wäre eine verstärkte Zunahme der Fertilität im Alter ab 30 Jahren erforderlich. Ein Anstieg und eine anschließende Stabilisierung der endgültigen Kinderzahl auf dem Niveau von mindestens 1,6 Kindern je Frau würde darüber hinaus eine Trendumkehr in der Entwicklung der Kinderlosenquote und deutliche Veränderungen im Geburtentiming voraussetzen

description: Die allgemeine Sterbetafel für 2010/12 des Statistischen Bundesamtes liefert für das vereinte Deutschland erstmals Ergebnisse zur Lebenserwartung auf Basis von Zensusdaten. Der vorliegende Artikel widmet sich deshalb der Frage, wie sich die Korrekturen der Bevölkerungsbestände im Rahmen des Zensus 2011 auf die Messung der Lebenserwartung ausgewirkt haben. Hierfür werden sowohl die amtlichen Sterbetafeln auf Basis der alten Bevölkerungsfortschreibung vor dem Zensus als auch auf Basis der Bevölkerungsdaten des Zensus 2011 analysiert. Die Vorgehensweise zur Berechnung der zensusbereinigten allgemeinen Sterbetafel 2010/12 wird zudem auf eine separate Erstellung von Sterbetafeln für die deutsche und die ausländische Bevölkerung übertragen. Befunde zum sogenannten Healthy-Migrant-Effekt können somit unter Ausschluss möglicher Fehler in der Bevölkerungsfortschreibung diskutiert werden. Diese waren zuvor als Hauptursache für eine deutlich höhere Lebenserwartung der ausländischen Bevölkerung im Vergleich zur deutschen Bevölkerung angeführt worden. Für die Bevölkerung insgesamt und für die deutsche Bevölkerung zeigen sich erwartungsgemäß nur sehr geringfügige Korrekturen der Werte für die Lebenserwartung durch eine Berechnung auf Basis des Zensus. Die Lebenserwartung von ausländischen Frauen und Männern wird durch die Nutzung von Zensusergebnissen jedoch deutlich korrigiert. Ein auf Basis der alten Bevölkerungsdaten gemessener Vorteil in der Lebenserwartung bei Geburt von über 5 Jahren, muss zensusbasiert auf etwa 2,9 Jahre bei den Männern und 2,1 Jahre bei den Frauen korrigiert werden. Der Healthy-Migrant-Effekt kann somit nicht ausschließlich auf Datenartefakte der alten Bevölkerungsfortschreibung zurückgeführt werden, da sich auch zensusbereinigt deutliche Überlebensvorteile der ausländischen Bevölkerung zeigen.

description: This paper provides a novel approach to human activity recognition in videos, leveraging the synergies of Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN) and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN). Our methodology combines the spatial understanding provided by CNNs with the temporal context captured by RNNs to enhance the accuracy and robustness of activity recognition systems. The Convolutional Neural Network is working to extract high-level spatial features from video frames, allowing the model to discern intricate patterns and spatial relationships within the visual data. Simultaneously, we integrate a Recurrent Neural Network to capture the dynamic temporal dependencies inherent in human activities over time. This temporal modeling is crucial for recognizing complex activities that unfold sequentially, such as gestures, actions, or interactions. To further enhance the temporal modeling capabilities, we introduce the innovative Recurrent Transformer architecture, which enables the network to capture distant dependencies in progressive sequences. The Recurrent Transformer augments the RNN's ability to discern nuanced temporal patterns, making it well-suited for recognizing subtle variations and transitions in human activities. Through extensive experiments on benchmark datasets, we demonstrate the superior performance of our integrated model compared to traditional approaches. Combining CNNs and RNNs with the innovative Recurrent Transformer improves the model's generalization capabilities across a wide range of human actions in video data, in magnification to growing accuracy. Our findings underscore the efficacy of combining spatial and temporal information for robust human activity recognition, showcasing the potential of this approach in various applications, including video surveillance, human-computer interaction, and healthcare monitoring.

description: These data were generated to analyze the human breast tissue microbiome composition and functional potential. We analyzed and compared the resident bacterial taxa of histologically normal breast tissue (healthy, H) with those of tissues donated prior to (pre-diagnostic, PD, ) and after (adjacent normal, AN, and tumor, T) breast cancer diagnosis to determine the role of the breast tissue microbiome in breast cancer. DNA was isolated from 165 tissue samples, 9 negative controls, and 1 positive control and submitted for Illumina Miseq paired-end sequencing of the V3 - V4 region of the 16S gene. 16S amplicons were pre-processed into amplicon sequence variants (ASVs) using DADA2. To infer bacterial function in breast cancer, we predicted the functional bacteriome from these ASVs using PICRUSt2 and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) database.

description: This data was collected via 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing of breast tissue from four different groups of women. Healthy (H) tissue is tissue donated to the Susan G. Komen Tissue Bank (KTB) by healthy women, Pre-diagnostic (PD) tissue is tissue donated to the KTB by healthy women who later were diagnosed with breast cancer. Adjacent normal (AN) tissue is tissue next to a malignant tumor donated by women with cancer. Tumor (T) tissue is breast tumor tissue. The AN and T tissues were selected from the Indiana University Simon Comprehensive Cancer Center Tissue Bank (IUSCCC). Specifically, the V3 - V4 region of the 16S gene was amplified and library prepped for Illumina MiSeq paired-end sequencing. Following sequencing, data was pre-processed into amplicon sequence variants (ASVs), which are represented in this file. These ASVs were further analyzed according to the methods outlined in the associated publication: DOI: 10.1128/msystems.01489-21. Additionally, we predicted the functional potential of the microbiota using PICRUSt2 and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) Database. This functional metagenome was predicted from the ASVs in this file and is represented in this file. Please reference the manuscript, DOI: 10.1128/msystems.01489-21, for additional analyses performed on these data.
title: Fotografie in österreichischen Tageszeitungen
Creators: name: Hinterramskogler, Daniel
Year: 2009

description: Die Diplomarbeit „Fotografie in österreichischen Tageszeitungen“ versucht eingangs eine Definition der Begriffe „Bild“, „Fotografie“, „Pressefotografie“ und „Pressefoto“. Diese theoretische Begriffsarbeit bildet den Grundstock des folgenden empirischen Projektes, in dem die Verwendung von Pressefotos in den österreichischen Tageszei-tungen „Die Presse“, „Kurier“, „Kronenzeitung“ und „Oberösterreichische Nachrich-ten“ näher untersucht wurde. Konkret ermittelt wurden die Fotohäufigkeit, der flä-chenmäßige Anteil der Pressefotos am redaktionellen Teil der Zeitungen, die Bildquel-len der Fotos sowie der Inhalt der Pressefotos. Die Studie behandelt den Zeitraum zwi-schen 1987 und 2007, wobei drei Jahre in Form dreier „künstlicher Wochen“ der Ana-lyse zugeführt wurden. Methodisch umgesetzt wurde das Projekt durch eine Inhalts-analyse, bei der Ermittlung der Fotoinhalte kam das Methodenspezifikum der empirie-geleiteten Kategorienexploration zum Einsatz.
Der registergestützte Zensus in Deutschland: Historische Einordnung und Bedeutung für die Bevölkerungswissenschaft

description: Im Jahr 2011 führte Deutschland nach mehr als zwanzigjähriger Pause wieder einen Zensus durch. Die Vorgaben der Vereinten Nationen, nach der Länder mindestens alle zehn Jahre eine Volkszählung veranlassen sollten, waren längst überschritten und von Seiten der Bevölkerungswissenschaft wurde schon länger eine neue Zählung gefordert, um die Berechnung demografischer Indikatoren wieder auf eine solide Basis stellen zu können. Mit dem Zensus 2011 kam Deutschland der Forderung einer aktuellen Zählung nach und beschritt zugleich mit einem registergestützten Zensus einen neuen Weg. Im Gegensatz zu den skandinavischen Ländern, die auf eine lange Tradition der Registerdatenanalysen und der Verknüpfung von Registerdaten zurückblicken können, stellte in Deutschland, wo die Zusammenführung von Registern durch die gegebenen rechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen stark eingeschränkt ist, ein registergestützter Zensus ein ambitioniertes Projekt dar. Dieser Beitrag diskutiert nach einer historischen Einordnung die Bedeutung des Zensus 2011 für die Generierung zentraler demografischer Daten. Insbesondere werden die fortgeschriebenen Ergebnisse des alten Zensus 1987 mit den Ergebnissen des Zensus 2011 verglichen, um mögliche systematische Fehlerquellen zu eruieren, welche die demografischen Indikatoren und Analysen verzerren.

description: Abstract Objective Many studies investigating age‐related mean differences in life satisfaction disregard potential differences in the structure of the life satisfaction construct. Because developmental tasks at different life stages vary and thus the salience of specific life domains (e.g., health, finances, relationships, etc.) might differ, life satisfaction might differ between age groups in its underlying structure and meaning. Method To address this issue, we investigated the covariance structure of life satisfaction as measured by the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) and the domains of health satisfaction and financial satisfaction with local structural equation modeling. We analyzed data from 8341 U.S. citizens between the ages of 30 and 97 who participated in the Panel Study of Income Dynamics. Furthermore, we explored the association of respondents' health and financial status with life satisfaction. Results Both the SWLS and domain items were found to be invariant across age. The health and financial status accounted for small proportions of variance in overall life satisfaction and the respective domain satisfactions significantly at all ages. Conclusion The current analysis indicates that across the adult age range, general life satisfaction is qualitatively the same, and health and financial satisfaction are equally integrated into overall life satisfaction.
