Lieder gegen den Kommunalismus. Soziale Aktionsgruppen in Indien
Creators: name: Amshoff, Georg
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2017

description: Although the issue of growing communalism in India received much attention in recent years, one important aspect was widely neglected: the existence of a quite considerable secularist movement against communalism. Several Social Action Groups and NGOs are working against growing communalisation and the danger of communal riots. They are trying to start a counter-agitation through education, street plays, and public activities like human chains in riot-hit areas. In their work they are widely employing one of the most effective means of Social Action Groups in general: especially made songs in local languages. Modelled along traditional tunes, the words of these songs are either slightly changed traditionally or newly-made verses. These songs unmask communalism as a power game in the disguise of religion and call for unity among all people. This paper outlines some basic aspects of Social Action Groups and describes the anti-communalism activities of some groups. A general introduction to songs as a powerful means and intensely used medium of Social Action Groups is followed by a German translation of some songs against communalism.

Regional and Social Development in India: Changing Policy Perspectives and Future Development Agenda
Creators: name: Kundu, Amitabh
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2017

description: An analysis of the trend and pattern of development in a developing country like India reveals that economic growth does not automatically result in reduction of regional imbalance. Furthermore, the absence of strong interdependence between indicators of economic and social development does not justify the optimism that social development will be guaranteed, if the economy grows rapidly, though it is true that there is a positive correlation between growth and the standard of resp. access to basic amenities at the regional level. The latter have, in turn, a positive impact on various sociodemographic factors. Similarly, educational indicators relate positively with social development. Unfortunately, however, they do not bear a similar relationship with economic growth. Strengthening the linkages between economic growth and education as well as basic amenities is, thus, likely to have a healthy impact on social development in less developed countries. This would be particularly important during the period of structural adjustment, expected to unleash market forces and accelerate economic growth. The empirical results in the paper, thus, make a case for designing a public intervention system and institutional structure to ensure regional and social balance in the process of economic growth.

description: Wireless local area networks are a promising solution to support advanced data services in mobile environments. The IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN standard is emerging as a mature technology to support delay sensitive network services. In order to support these services the standard has proposed the use of a polling scheme; however, existing polling schemes require high communication overheads or suffer from unfairness. In this paper, we propose a distributed fair queueing algorithm 'distributed deficit round robin', which is compatible with the 802.11 medium access control rules. Software simulation of this scheme shows that it can manage a heterogeneous mix of delay sensitive traffic.

description: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as key regulators of numerous biological processes, and increasing evidence suggests that circulating miRNAs may be useful biomarkers of clinical disease. In this study, we sought to identify plasma miRNAs that differentiate patients with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) from those with localized prostate cancer (PCa). Pooled plasma samples from patients with localized PCa or mCRPC (25 per group) were assayed using the Exiqon miRNA qPCR panel, and the differential expression of selected candidates was validated using qRT-PCR. We identified 63 miRNAs upregulated in mCRPC versus localized PCa, while only four were downregulated. Pearson’s correlation analysis revealed two highly correlated groups: one consisting of miR-141, miR375 and miR-200c and the other including miR151-3p, miR423-3p, miR-126, miR152 and miR-21. A third group, containing miR-16 and miR-205, showed less correlation. One miRNA from each group (miR-141, miR151-3p and miR-16) was used for logistic regression analysis and proved to increase the sensitivity of the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test alone. While no miRNA alone differentiated localized PCa and mCRPC, combinations had greater sensitivity and specificity. The expression of these 10 candidates was assayed for association with clinical parameters of disease progression through the cBio portal. Our results demonstrate that plasma levels of selected miRNAs are potential biomarkers to differentiate localized PCa and mCRPC.

description: The parasitic mite Varroa destructor is a major threat to the health and productivity of Apis mellifera hives and induces its effect by feeding on the fat body of larvae/pupae and transmitting viruses. The effect of the anti-Varroa formic acid containing – Mite Away Quick (MAQ) strips on the proteome of A. mellifera was assessed. Samples of A. mellifera were isolated from hives one week prior to MAQ treatment, during the week of treatment and for two weeks after the end of treatment, proteins were extracted and analysed by label free quantitative proteomics. The results indicated that samples isolated during the week of treatment showed increased abundance of a range of cuticular proteins (+ 2.65 fold to + 6.64 fold) and decreased abundance of proteins that deal with xenobiotics (Cytochrome P450 subunits −11.38 fold to −2.16 fold). Interestingly some proteins associated with the oxidative phosphorylation pathway were increased in abundance (e.g., Cox5a and Cox5b) but others (e.g., Coxfa4) were decreased. The results presented here reveal that the application of MAQ strips caused a dramatic disruption to the proteome of A. mellifera, but the effect is transient and two weeks after the end of treatment the proteome has returned to resemble that of the untreated control. While MAQ strips are effective in reducing Varroa populations, the results presented here indicate they can adversely affect the proteome of A. mellifera and may contribute to the elevated stress in hives previously affected by Varroa parasitisation.

description: The rapidly growing popularity of methamphetamine use in Iran has posed a new health challenge to the Iranian health sector. Methamphetamine-associated psychosis (MAP) has been frequently reported in Iran in recent years. Although methamphetamine use and MAP are considerable health problems in Iran but there is still a need to conduct epidemiological studies on the prevalence of MAP and its health-related problems. The present paper emphasizes that health policy makers should consider the immediate needs of drug users, their families and the community to be informed about the detrimental health effects associated with MAP. Although MAP could be managed by prescribing benzodiazepines and psychiatric medications but the most effective regime for stabilizing patients with MAP still needs to be studied in Iran. Constant collaborations among psychiatric services and outpatient psychotherapeutic services should be established to successfully manage MAP in Iran. Iranian clinicians especially emergency medicine specialists should be informed about the differences between the two forms of transient and recurrent MAP in order to implement appropriate pharmacological therapies to manage MAP. It is hoped that special training courses are designed and implemented by health policy makers to inform clinicians, health providers and especially emergency medicine specialists to effectively deal with MAP.

Five Decades of Free India. Between Naive or Vested Euphoria and Doomsday Cynicism Falls the Reality

Year: 2017

description: Indian independence has been a mixed blessing. The partition of India, followed by Hindu-Muslim bloodshed and Gandhi's assassination, sobered up an already sceptical people who were lucky to have the romantic-socialist Nehru as Prime Minister for nearly two decades. After him, the quality of Indian politics has generally deteriorated but the people have voted more or less wisely, keeping the nation on a democratic middle path. Though India remains one of the most problem-ridden countries, it has managed to make noticeable economic, social and cultural progress during the last 50 years and now has a steadily growing middle class. Whether free India will ever be able to live up to its own image and join the overall "great" nations of the world remains an open question, but surely it would have done much better had the Indian intelligentsia intervened in national life with more commitment and courage.

description: In a cage experiment, lithium chloride (LiCl) and lithium citrate hydrate (Li-cit) were tested for varroacidal efficacy and impact on bees. Treatment with Li-cit (4, 7.5, 10, and 25 mM) resulted in 100% varroacidal efficacy and 100% bee survival. Due to better results in the cage experiment, Li-cit was further tested in field experiments on full-sized free-flying colonies treated three times in 6-day intervals. All the concentrations of Li-cit in the field experiment (5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 mM) expressed high varroacidal efficacy: 93.2–95.5%, significantly (p Varroa destructor under field conditions.

description: In recent years many bee species have expanded/contracted their ranges in response to natural or human-induced changes in habitats. Therefore, identifying suitable habitats and evaluating connectivity between them is crucial for the conservation of species. Species distribution models (SDMs) and connectivity algorithms are the main tools currently available to provide knowledge of species potential to shift/expand their ranges. We aimed to identify the core habitats of Apis florea and evaluate connectivity between populations. We carried out a multi-level modeling framework to predict an ensemble model of habitat suitability of the species in three critical months (May, October, and January) based on (1) only the climatic variables; (2) both climatic and environmental data. Then, we used the concept of circuit theory to evaluate potential linkages between core habitats. Spatial patterns of suitable habitats and connectivity between them varied across months. Potential habitats of the species appeared to be strongly influenced by the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), croplands, village density, and water vapor pressure. Most of the predicted core habitats and connectivity were found in the western half of the species range in May due to the abundance of nectar and pollen in habitats. Contrary to the western parts, core habitats in eastern regions appeared to be fragmented with limited connectivity. Our results provided the first map of connectivity for A. florea that could improve the understanding of the distribution of red dwarf honey bees and contribute to conservation strategies to protect core areas for this keystone pollinator species.

description: The small hive beetle (SHB), Aethina tumida, a parasite of honey bees is endemic to Sub-Saharan Africa and has become a global invasive pest. Adequate surveillance methods based on trapping methods need testing and verification of their efficacy. We tested the efficacy of top frame supplied cardboard traps. The efficacy was extremely low (0.9%) and significantly less effective than bottom board placed traps.

description: Background: Our objective was to evaluate the effect of delays on adverse events while waiting for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Methods: An observational study that prospectively followed patients from registration on a wait list to removal for planned surgery, death while waiting, or unplanned emergency surgery. The population-based registry provided data on 12,030 patients with a record of registration on a wait list for first-time isolated CABG surgery between 1992 and 2005. Results: In total, 104 patients died and 382 patients underwent an emergency surgery before planned CABG. The death rate was 0.5 per 1000 patient-weeks in the semiurgent group and 0.6 per 1000 patient-weeks the nonurgent group, adjusted OR = 1.07 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.69—1.65). The emergency surgery rate of 1.2 per 1000 patient-weeks in the nonurgent group was lower compared to 2.1 per 1000 patient-weeks in the semiurgent group (adjusted OR = 0.72, 95% CI 0.54–0.97). However, the nonurgent group had a greater cumulative incidence of preoperative death than the semiurgent group for almost all weeks on the wait list, adjusted OR = 1.92 (95% CI 1.25–2.95). The surgery rate was 1.2 per 1000 patient-weeks in the nonurgent group and 2.1 per 1000 patient-weeks in the semiurgent group, adjusted OR = 0.72 (95% CI 0.54–0.97). The cumulative incidence of emergency surgery before planned CABG was similar in the semiurgent and nonurgent groups, adjusted OR = 0.88, (95% CI 0.64–1.20). Conclusion: Despite similar death rates in the semiurgent and nonurgent groups, the longer waiting times in the nonurgent group result in a greater cumulative incidence of death on the wait list compared to that in the semiurgent group. These longer waiting times also offset the lower rate of emergency surgery before planned admission in the nonurgent group so that the cumulative incidence of the emergency surgery was similar in both groups.
Are innovators worth identifying?

description: The most heavily researched stream within the marketing diffusion tradition is that which looks at individual adoption behaviour. The purpose of this research is to predict and explain the decisions of individual consumers concerning if and when they adopt an innovation. Although a large number of studies have attempted to address the question of what drives individual adoption behaviour, the reasons for conducting this research have not been well established and are rarely critiqued. This paper brings together and analyses the various reasons that have previously been put forward to justify research into innovators. The findings are that although the benefits of identifying early adopters are not as strong and clear-cut as sometimes presented, they are still sufficient to warrant further research into methods that will accurately predict likely early adopters.

description: In order to investigate the geographical distribution of morphological and mitochondrial variation of the Western honey bee in West and Central Africa, 175 colonies, sampled from 44 localities (or a subset therefrom), were subjected to geometric morphometric (GM), traditional morphometric (TM) and mitochondrial DNA analyses. The shape of the forewing differed significantly between the three ecological zones (rainforest, savanna and Sahel) and significantly correlated with latitude, longitude and altitude. A one-way ANOVA revealed a highly significant difference between the ecological zones in respect of the size of the forewing. Based on TM, no clear geographic clustering was observed, and the samples could not be unambiguously assigned to reference data of A. m. adansonii or A. m. jemenitica. However, a conspicuous geographic pattern was observed, with bees increasing in size northward in the west of the area, but southward in the east. Four mitochondrial haplotypes, previously reported from Africa, were found: A1 (n = 60), A4 (n = 58), A4′ (n = 14) and A14 (n = 1). The overall haplotype diversity was low (h = 0.485 ± S. E. 0.062) and small bees were found to bear the A1 haplotype while large bees had either A4 or A4′ haplotype.

description: Semi-field and field studies on honey bees using colonies are necessary to obtain more biologically relevant data, but are often hampered by logistic constraints. The use of small colonies in miniature hives is regarded as an acceptable approach to such studies, but the equipment designed for commercial and hobby beekeepers may not be appropriate or effective for research purposes. Here, we propose a novel integrated system of research equipment in which each item is designed and built in a coordinated fashion to improve speed, ease, reliability, and accuracy. The system is built around the Study Frame and includes a converter hive, photographic equipment, and combined floor, stand, varroa tray, dead bee trap, and pollen trap, thereby allowing for a wide range of scientific purposes.

 Distribution. – Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Singapore, Indonesia, Philippines, East and South China Seas, Japan; littoral to 91 m.
 Remarks. – The present specimens from Chinese waters fit the previous accounts of Chlorotocella gracilis (cf. De Man 1920, Hayashi & Miyake 1968, Chace 1985) and agree with the comparative material from Japan. Other than C. gracilis, two nominal taxa known from Australia, Pandalus leptorhynchus Stimpson, 1860, and Parapandalus leptorhynchus gibber Hale, 1924, are referable to Chlorotocella as they possess the following generic features: the rostrum bears only one fixed dorsal tooth arising somewhat anterior to the orbital margin; a supraorbital spine is present; the suborbital lobe is well developed, longer than the antennal spine; the fourth and fifth abdominal somites are each armed with posterolateral tooth; and the carpus of the second pereopods consists of three articles (see Hale, 1927). However, the relationships of these three taxa are still not clear.

description: This paper examines the relationship between thermal features from satellite imagery and reported catches of tuna off eastern Tasmania. The satellite data is in the form of sea surface temperature (SST) obtained from a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) satellite using an Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) sensor. The fishery data is the catch of southern bluefin tuna and albacore for the Japanese longline tuna fishery off the Tasmanian coast. The winter fishing seasons for May to July 1991 and 1992 are considered in detail. The study focuses on the relationship between southern bluefin tuna and albacore and the occurrence of warm core eddies and thermal fronts. In 1991 a persistent mesoscale eddy was observed using the NOAA-11/AVHRR infrared data. In 1992 there was no similar eddy structure but a strong thermal front occurred. Southern bluefin tuna and albacore catches tend to occur at the location of the eddy and thermal fronts. An algorithm that identifies the edges of thermal fronts proved to be a good predictor of the location of productive fishing areas.

This protocol collection includes standardized procedures for the cultivation, storage, inoculation, and solid-state fermentation of edible fungi, with a focus on brewer’s spent grain (BSG) as substrate. The SOPs cover sterile technique, inoculum preparation, and conditions for primary and secondary (aroma-developing) fermentation. These methods support reproducibility in fungal growth and flavor compound development.
Characterizing the state of the art in the computational assignment of gene function: lessons from the first critical assessment of functional annotation (CAFA)

description: The assignment of gene function remains a difficult but important task in computational biology. The establishment of the first Critical Assessment of Functional Annotation (CAFA) was aimed at increasing progress in the field. We present an independent analysis of the results of CAFA, aimed at identifying challenges in assessment and at understanding trends in prediction performance. We found that well-accepted methods based on sequence similarity (i.e., BLAST) have a dominant effect. Many of the most informative predictions turned out to be either recovering existing knowledge about sequence similarity or were "post-dictions" already documented in the literature. These results indicate that deep challenges remain in even defining the task of function assignment, with a particular difficulty posed by the problem of defining function in a way that is not dependent on either flawed gold standards or the input data itself. In particular, we suggest that using the Gene Ontology (or other similar systematizations of function) as a gold standard is unlikely to be the way forward.

description: Genus Heterocarpus A. Milne Edwards, 1881
 Remarks. – Liu & Zhong (1994) listed the following eight species of Heterocarpus from Chinese waters: H. alphonsi Bate, 1888; H. dorsalis Bate, 1888; H. gibbosus Bate, 1888; H. laevigatus Bate, 1888 (as lavigatus [sic]); H. parvispina De Man, 1917; H. sibogae De Man, 1917; H. tricarinatus Alcock & Anderson, 1894; and H. woodmasoni Alcock, 1901. Crosnier (1988) concluded that H. alphonsi was a junior subjective synonym of H. dorsalis. Crosnier (1988) also showed that two species were confounded under the name H. sibogae, H. sibogae s.s. and H. hayashii Crosnier, 1988. The two species often occur in the same catch of deepwater trawl (Hayashi, 1986; Chan & Yu, 1987; personal observation). Therefore, it is possible that the Chinese records of H. sibogae contain the two species. During this study, H. hayashii has been identified from the present collection.

description: Oppositely charged polyelectrolyte (PE) surfactant mixtures can self-assemble into a large variety of mesoscopic structures, so-called polyelectrolyte surfactant complexes (PESCs). These structures directly affect the macroscopic behavior of such solutions. In this study, we investigated mixtures of the cationically charged PE JR 400 and the anionic surfactant SDS with the help of different neutron scattering and fluorescence methods. While an excess of PE charges in semi-dilute solutions causes an increase of viscosity, it has been observed that an excess of surfactant charges reduces the viscosity while precipitation is observed at charge equilibrium. The increase in viscosity had been investigated before and was attributed to the formation of cross links between PE chains. In this publication we focus our attention on the reduction of viscosity which is observed with an excess of surfactant charges. It is found that the PE chains form relatively large and densely packed clusters near the phase boundary on the surfactant rich side, thereby occupying less space and reducing the viscosity. For even higher surfactant concentrations, individual surfactant decorated PE chains are observed and their viscosity is found to be similar to that of the pure PE.
Gluonic Spectra through Knotified Correlators in Yang–Mills Theory
Creators: name: Francesco D'Agostino
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: A mathematically rigorous construction of the Euclidean Yang–Mills measure is presented, based on a tensorized knot invariant \(I(K)\). By discretizing the space of framed knots and controlling topological fluctuations, a continuum limit is obtained that satisfies gauge invariance, ultraviolet finiteness, and reflection positivity. All Osterwalder–Schrader axioms are verified, leading to a self-adjoint transfer operator whose spectrum exhibits a strictly positive gap \(\Delta\ge\kappa\,\delta\), where \(\delta=\min_{K\neq\mathrm{trivial}}|I(K)|\). Analytic continuation to Minkowski space yields Wightman functions with an isolated one-particle glueball pole at mass \(m=\Delta\), thereby establishing a nonperturbative mass gap in pure Yang–Mills theory. Exponential clustering and infrared suppression are demonstrated via topological minimality, and the resulting glueball spectrum is expressed in terms of the minimal knot invariant and group-theoretic factors.

description: Nosema ceranae is a unicellular microsporidian causing ventricular cell lysis in host Apis species. We hypothesized that the gut microbiota of honey bees, A. cerana, A. dorsata, A. florea, and A. mellifera, is disrupted by N. ceranae infection. Correspondingly, we investigated the impact of N. ceranae infection on gut populations of Bifidobacterium sp. and Apilactobacillus kunkeei in the selected Apis species. The bacteria populations were compared using a culture-dependent method and employing 16S rRNA gene sequencing between bees infected with 2.0 × 105N. ceranae spores and those remaining uninfected. The number of N. ceranae spores per bee and the ratio of infected gut cells to uninfected cells were measured at five and ten days post infection (p.i.). N. ceranae spore load at ten days p.i. was significantly greater than at five days p.i. and was varied with species’ body size. For each of the four Apis species, N. ceranae treated bees had lower survival than did the control bees. Moreover, A. florae had the largest infection ratio of all the species. Across all Apis species, N. ceranae infected individuals had significantly lower mean numbers of Bifidobacterium sp. and A. kunkeei than did uninfected ones. Among infected bees, the average number of both bacteria was significantly greatest in A. dorsata and lowest in A. cerana. Overall, N. ceranae infection was associated with histopathological damage and also with lower populations of Bifidobacterium sp. and A. kunkeei in the midguts of the tested honey bee species.

 Material examined. – 4 females (cl 13.3-20.1 mm), 1 ovig. female (cl 28.2 mm) (IOCAS), CN 33-45, 19 00’N, 113 00’E, 465 m, sand, AT, coll. H. Li, 17 Feb.1959; 1 male (cl 16.7 mm) (IOCAS), CN K150 B-24, 19 00’N, 112 30’E, 290 m, muddy sand, AT, coll. Z. Tang, 6 Apr.1960.
 Distribution. – Japan, East and South China seas, Philippines, New Caledonia, Samoa, Australia; at depths of 200- 700 m.
  Remarks. – Heterocarpus hayashii  and H. sibogae are very similar morphologically. When fresh, the two species are readily separated by coloration (Crosnier, 1988): H. hayashii does not have a red patch on the lateral surface of the third abdominal somite, which is present in H. sibogae. However, morphological differences between the two are rather subtle. Hanamura & Evans (1996) argued that distinguishing features cited by Crosnier (1988) were not always reliable. They showed that only the relative length of the unarmed part of the dorsal margin of the carapace is reliable for discrimination of the two species: the unarmed part occupies 51.9-58.9% of the total length of the carapace in H. hayashii, and 43.5-49.0% in H. sibogae. No information on the coloration in life was available for our specimens, and therefore we identify them with H. hayashii following Hanamura & Evans (1996).

description: An ERS researcher and non-ERS collaborators used national survey data to compare milk choices of children between 1 and 4 years of age. About 80 percent of the children consumed some type of cow’s milk on the survey day. Toddlers participating in WIC were more likely to drink whole milk than lower income non-WIC toddlers. Preschoolers participating in WIC were more likely to drink low or nonfat milk than both lower and higher income non-WIC preschoolers.
Patriotism, immigration and the 1996 election

description: In March 1996 there was a gap between political candidates and voters on the question of immigration and (with the exception of Coalition candidates) on the question of pride in Australia's history. On both questions Coalition candidates' opinions were closer to those of the voters. Concern about immigration is unlikely to have cost Labor the election by itself, but this concern is linked to feelings of national pride. Both attitudes are strongly associated with a vote for the Coalition and may well have swung the tide against the Keating Government.

description: Royal jelly is actively used in healthcare products, healthy nutrition, cosmetics industry, strengthening the immune system, treatment of cancer, and many other diseases and new studies are being conducted on its usability in new areas. However, the production of such a useful product is technical and laborious. The most time-consuming process in production is larva grafting performed by hand. For this, a tool that can detect and graft the ideal sized larvae should be developed. The aim of this study, as the first step of such a tool, is to detect the larvae, which are ideal for the production of royal jelly. In the study, initially, a camera setup that can take clear photographs of honeycomb cells was prepared. With this setup, honeycomb photographs were taken containing larvae of different sizes. Later, the larvae with ideal size in the photographs were labelled and the convolutional neural network was trained. Finally, honeycomb cells and centre points were identified with Hough circle, and the locations of the larvae according to the honeycomb cell were determined. In conclusion, a system that can successfully identify ideal sized larvae and their locations to be used in the production process for royal jelly was created.
