Reflections on Provenance Research:  Values – Politics – Art Markets

Subjects: Provenance research

description: Since the turn of the last century provenance research has developed and become professionalized in Europe and the United States as a field that enquires into the ownership history of art and cultural assets during the National Socialist period. While for considerable time the field received little acknowledgement by university faculties such as art history and historical science, provenance research is currently about to become – at least for the moment – institutionalized as an academic discipline at several universities in Germany and Switzerland. It remains to be seen which direction provenance
research will ultimately take as an academic field; however, an expansion above and beyond the NS-period as well as a connection with neighbouring research fields such as art market research are evidently being pursued. This article reflects the links between provenance research and art market studies. On the one hand, it sketches the historical development of provenance research and its impact on the value of art objects – and thus on the art market. On the other hand, it reveals the additional benefit that the methodology of provenance research can offer in the field of art market studies, especially in contrast to social science approaches.

description: False-positive emission-line detections bias our understanding of astronomical sources; for example, falsely identifying $z\sim3-4$ passive galaxies as $z>10$ galaxies leads to incorrect number counts and flawed tests of cosmology. In this work, we provide a novel but simple tool to better quantify the detection of faint lines in interferometric data sets and properly characterize the underlying noise distribution. We demonstrate the method on three sets of archival observations of $z>10$ galaxy candidates, taken with the Atacama Large Millimeter/Submillimeter Array (ALMA). By jackknifing the visibilities using our tool, $jackknify$, we create observation-specific noise realizations of the interferometric measurement set. We apply a line-finding algorithm to both the noise cubes and the real data and determine the likelihood that any given positive peak is a real signal by taking the ratio of the two sampled probability distributions. We show that the previously reported, tentative emission-line detections of these $z>10$ galaxy candidates are consistent with noise. We further expand upon the technique and demonstrate how to properly incorporate prior information on the redshift of the candidate from auxiliary data, such as from JWST. Our work highlights the need to achieve a significance of $\gtrsim 5σ$ to confirm an emission line when searching in broad 30 GHz bandwidths. Using our publicly available method enables the quantification of false detection likelihoods, which are crucial for accurately interpreting line detections.
Consenting to Orientalism when Covering Migra-tion:  How the British Media Dehumanises Migrants in the Context of the Syrian Civil War

description: The British vote to leave Europe rests largely upon fear of migrants. British media can be shown to have contributed to this by dehumanising migrants through news coverage. Discourse analysis of stories during the ‘European migrant crisis’ (2015) will show how dehumanisation occurs via Orientalist discourses (Said, 1979), presenting migrants as a threat to security, Western values and economically burdensome. Theories regarding news production and elite agency will be applied to understand the media’s role in manufacturing consent (Chomsky, 1994) thus legitimising policies. This paper focusses upon online news coverage surrounding an attack at Westminster, which became amalgamated with migration. Since media discourses must be analysed to understand the devices used, philosophical and journalistic insights will be applied to answer the questions: what methods are used to dehumanise migrants? What mechanisms operate behind this? What is the result? Suggestions for supporting university students in counteracting media influence will be made.

description: Browser APIs such as WebHID, WebUSB, Web Serial, and Web MIDI enable web applications to interact directly with external devices. The support of such APIs in Chromium-based browsers, such as Chrome and Edge, radically changes the threat model for peripherals and increases the attack surface. In the past, devices could assume a trusted host, i.e., the operating system. Now, the host is a potentially malicious website and cannot be trusted.
We show how this changed threat model leads to security and privacy problems, up to a complete compromise of the operating system. While the API specifications list initial security considerations, they shift the responsibility to (unprepared) device vendors. We systematically analyze the security implications of external devices exposed by such new APIs. By reverse-engineering peripheral devices of several popular widespread vendors, we show that many vendors allow controlling devices via Web APIs up to reprogramming or even fully replacing the firmware. Consequently, web attackers can reprogram devices with malicious payloads and custom firmware without requiring any physical interaction. To demonstrate the security implications, we build several full-chain exploits, leading to arbitrary code execution on the victim system, circumventing the browser sandbox. Our research shows that browser security should not rely on the secure implementation of third-party hardware.

description: Die Arbeit behandelt den Werdegang der Pfarrkirche von Fünfhaus, Maria vom Siege, zu einer „modernen Wallfahrtskirche“ durch die Einführung einer Monatswallfahrt in deren Mittelpunkt das unscheinbare Gnadenbild aus dem Dreißigjährigen Krieg steht. Der Wiener Kardinal Joseph Othmar von Rauscher verlieh der Kirche bei der feierlichen Weihe den Namen seiner römischen Titularkirche „Santa Maria della Vittoria“. Er war es der den Kirchenbau vehement einforderte und seine Fertigstellung vorantrieb. Der monumentale Sakralbau sollte eine katholische Alternative zu den damals um sich greifenden antiklerikalen Bewegungen schaffen und wurde als Mittel im österreichischen Kulturkampf eingesetzt. Für die Ausführung seiner ehrgeizigen Pläne konnte der Kardinal den berühmten „Neugotiker“ Friedrich Schmidt gewinnen. Durch die fruchtbare Zusammenarbeit des katholischen Kirchenfürsten mit dem deutschen Pastorensohn wurde der, für eine Pfarrkirche ungewöhnliche Backsteinbau geschaffen. Der Innenraum wird von acht mächtigen Pfeilern dominiert, deren Malerei in Ziegelimitation gefertigt ist. Die ikonografische Ausschmückung ist nach den Plänen von Friedrich Schmidt, im Sinne eines Gesamtkunstwerkes im damals üblichen „Nazarener Stil“ ausgeführt. Obwohl immer wieder kunsthistorische Vergleiche mit anderen europäischen Kirchen angestellt wurden, so ähnelt der Bau in vieler Hinsicht vor allem der venezianischen Kirche Santa Maria della Salute. Der Kuppelbau und seine beiden Türme wurden im zweiten Weltkrieg stark beschädigt die permanente Renovierungsarbeiten bis in die Gegenwart erforderlich machten. Neue Impulse brachte die Einführung einer Monatswallfahrt zu dem böhmischen Gnadenbild, das der Kirche ihren klangvollen Namen gab. Das Bild ist eine Darstellung der Geburt Jesu, der am 25. jedes Monats gedacht wird. Der Mittelpunkt und Abschluss der Wallfahrt ist der vom Priester gespendete Einzelsegen. Die Legende des Gnadenbildes erzählt von einem wundersamen Eingreifen der Gottesmutter in der Schlacht am Weißen Berg zu Gunsten der katholischen Heere. Der charismatische Karmeliterpater Dominikus a Jesu e Maria soll mit dem beschädigten Marienbild die Soldaten zum Sieg geführt haben. Die „Verletzungen“ der am Bild dargestellten Personen, Maria, Josef und zwei Hirten kratzte man die Augen aus, nur das Jesuskind blieb verschont, schrieb man den Protestanten zu. Diese lehnte ja eine Marienverehrung weitgehend ab. Der überaus fromme Kaiser Ferdinand und sein Oberbefehlshaber Herzog Max von Bayern, beide fanatische Verehrer der Muttergottes stilisierten diesen Sieg als bedeutenden Wendepunkt in der Gegenreformation hoch und beeinflussten damit die religiöse Landschaft Europas. Die Bemühungen des Pfarrers um die Kirche gehen in die Richtung, die Kardinal Rauscher bei der Einweihung sich gewünscht hat, nämlich den Menschen und ihren Problemen eine Stütze zu sein, denn „Es gibt einen der Dich liebt….Jesus Christus“!

description: The receptor tyrosine kinase ERBB2 interacts with HSP90 and is overexpressed in aggressive breast cancers. Therapeutic HSP90 inhibitors, i.e. Geldanamycin (GA), target ERBB2 to degradation. We have previously shown that HSP90 is responsible for the missorting of recycling ERBB2 to degradation compartments. In this study, we used biochemical, immunofluorescence and electron microscopy techniques to demonstrate that in SKBR3 human breast cancer cells, GA strongly induces polyubiquitination and internalization of the full-length p185-ERBB2, and promotes its cleavage, with the formation of a p116-ERBB2 form in EEA1-positive endosomes (EE). p116-ERBB2 corresponds to a non-ubiquitinated, signaling-impaired, membrane-bound fragment, which is readily sorted to lysosomes and degraded. To define the sequence of events leading to p116-ERBB2 degradation, we first blocked the EE maturation/trafficking to late endosomes/lysosomes with wortmannin, and found an increase in GA-dependent formation of p116-ERBB2; we then inhibited the proteasome activity with MG-132 or lactacystin, and observed an efficient block of p185-ERBB2 cleavage, and its accumulation in EE, suggesting that p185-ERBB2 polyubiquitination is necessary for proteasome-dependent p116-ERBB2 generation occurring in EE. As polyubiquitination has also been implicated in autophagy-mediated degradation of ERBB2 under different experimental conditions, we exploited this possibility and demonstrate that GA strongly inhibits early autophagy, and reduces the levels of the autophagy markers atg5-12 and LC3-II, irrespective of GA-induced ERBB2 polyubiquitination, ruling out a GA-dependent autophagic degradation of ERBB2. In conclusion, we propose that HSP90 inhibition fosters ERBB2 polyubiquitination and proteasome-dependent generation of a non-ubiquitinated and inactive p116-ERBB2 form in EE, which is trafficked from altered EE to lysosomes.

Subjects: Extra hepatic biliary tree; 64 Multislice Computed tomography; map reconstruction

description: Considering the high risk of biliary lesions during laparoscopic cholecystectomy the anatomy of the biliary tree has been the object of increasing interest. The aim of this study is mapping the extra hepatic biliary topography by 64-Multislice Computed Tomography, in patients who had undergone surgery for choledocolithiasis using T - Tube inside common bile duct.. This technique allows to remove virtually the liver parenchyma, and with the subsequent three-dimensional reconstruction of images, represents a good tool to visualise the biliary ducts. With 3 D reconstruction we are able to create the topography of extra hepatic ducts visible in several projections. We have selected 15 cases. Principal variants regard the morphology of cystic duct. This technique allows to map the biliary tract alternativamente to classic anatomical dissection, realizing a source of data directly from surgery. Furthermore it is possible to use the data in case of biliary iatrogenic lesion with legal sequences.

description: Wound healing is a natural process that occurs in response to tissue injury [1]. In the skin, the entire process of wound healing is composed by different phases (haemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and maturation) that could repair this complex organ consisting of the epidermis, dermis and appendages. Different collagenous sponges are used to help the regeneration of damaged skin [2]. These biomaterials are mainly formed by highly-organized natural collagen fibres, that are biocompatible, biodegradable, non-toxic and with high tensile strength [2]. In this study, we analysed the association of a keratinocyte cell line (HACAT cells) with collagenous biomaterials as an in vitro model for skin wound repair. In order to study the ability of this constructs to be considered an ideal regeneration template, HACAT cells were seeded on different collagenous scaffolds and cultivated for 7, 14 and 28 days in an “air-liquid interface” to promote keratinocyte differentiation. Gene expression analysis were performed with qRT-PCR on keratin genes. Moreover, histological analysis (H/E and MTT test) were performed to confirm the colonization and the proper distribution and proliferation of seeded cells. Results show that HACAT cells do proliferate and colonize in similar manner collagenous scaffolds and they differentiate to the horny layer more quickly than on plastic.

description: In this paper, we focused on the green synthesis of titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles via an ecofriendly process using Citrus limon extract. Several analytical techniques were used to characterize the prepared samples: X-ray diffraction (XRD), infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and X-ray photoelectrons spectroscopy (XPS). XRD diffractograms revealed an anatase crystal structure of TiO2. SEM analysis showed the presence of particles with nanometric sizes, and the Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra confirmed the presence of the synthesized nanoparticles. The antibacterial activity of the green prepared TiO2 nanoparticles was assessed. Additionally, the antibacterial efficiency of the green prepared TiO2 nanoparticles was compared with TiO2 nanoparticles prepared via a chemical process. The results prove the efficacy of this ecofriendly process. This method can be used for the rapid and environmentally friendly biosynthesis of stable titanium oxide nanoparticles. This work is a contribution to the valorization of bio-sources for the synthesis of titanium dioxide crystals using Citrus limon fruit extract and tetrabutile titanate as a precursor.

description: The application of waste biomass-derived materials to synthetic chemistry is a remarkable achievement, and the use of aqueous media is further advancement. The switch towards earth's abundant metals like cobalt/copper/iron/nickel from precious palladium in C–C coupling reactions is also a high throughput in the global sustainability perspective. Herein, we describe a CuCl-catalyzed homocoupling of (hetero)arylboronic acids (HABAs) in water extract of pomegranate ash (WEPA) with low E-factor of 1.25 without including the column chromatographic separation of products, which helped in understanding the effectiveness of this method on comparison to reported protocols lacking amounts of silica gel and eluents, however, it was 171.64 by including column purification. The reactions are conducted at room temperature to deliver self-coupling products with 90–99% yields in 10–45 min under precious metal, ligand, non-renewable base, toxic/problematic organic solvent and added oxidant-free conditions. A wide range of substrates were screened with aryl and heteroaryl moieties containing diversified functional groups. The substitution of earth's rare metals-based catalysts by abundant copper, exploration of waste to state-of-the-art C–C coupling, use of biorenewable base, aqueous media, ambient conditions, operational simplicity, excellent yields of biaryls and quick reactions are the noteworthy advantages of this protocol.

description: We created new reddening maps and derived new extinction laws from visual to near-infrared passbands using improved RR~Lyrae period-absolute magnitude-metallicity relations, thus enabling distance estimates for individual bulge RR~Lyrae variables. The extinction law is most uniform in RIK and RJK and the distances to individual RR~Lyrae based on these colors are determined with an accuracy six and four percent, respectively. Using only the near-infrared passbands for distance estimation we inferred the distance to the Galactic center equal to djk = 8.2 +- 0.001(stat) +- 0.53(sys)pc after geometrical correction. We show that variations in the extinction law toward the Galactic bulge can mimic a barred spatial distribution in the bulge RR~Lyrae star population in visual passbands. This arises from a gradient in extinction differences along Galactic longitudes and latitudes, which can create the perception of the Galactic bar, particularly when using visual passband-based distances. A barred angle in the RR~Lyrae spatial distribution disappears when near-infrared passband-based distances are used, as well as when reddening law variations are incorporated in visual passband-based distances. The prominence of the bar, as traced by RR~Lyrae stars, depends on their metallicity, with metal-poor RR~Lyrae stars ([Fe/H]<-1.0dex) showing little to no tilt with respect to the bar. Metal-rich ([Fe/H]>-1.0dex) RR~Lyrae stars do show a barred/bulge signature in spatial properties derived using near-infrared distances, with an angle ι = 18 +- 5deg, consistent with previous bar measurements from the literature. The 5D kinematic analysis, primarily based on transverse velocities, indicates a rotational lag in RR~Lyrae stars compared to red clump giants. Despite variations in the extinction law, our kinematic conclusions are robust across different distance estimation methods.

description: In binary star systems, mass transfer can spin up the accretor, possibly leading to efficient chemical mixing and chemically quasi-homogeneous evolution (CHE). Here, we explore the effects of accretion-induced CHE on both stellar populations and their compact binary remnants with the state-of-the-art population synthesis code SEVN. We find that CHE efficiently enhances the formation of Wolf-Rayet stars (WRs) from secondary stars, which are spun-up by accretion, while simultaneously preventing their evolution into red supergiant stars (RSGs). Including CHE in our models increases the fraction of WRs in our stellar sample by nearly a factor of $\approx3$ at low metallicity ($Z=0.001$). WRs formed through CHE are, on average, more massive and luminous than those formed without CHE. Most WRs formed via CHE end their life as black holes. As a direct consequence, the CHE mechanism enhances the formation of binary black holes (BBHs) and black hole-neutron star (BHNS) systems, while simultaneously quenching the production of binary neutron stars (BNSs). However, CHE significantly quenches the merger rate of BBHs, BHNSs and BNSs at low metallicity ($Z\leq{}0.004$), because most binary compact objects formed via CHE have large orbital periods. For instance, the number of BBH and BHNS mergers decreases by one order of magnitude at $Z=0.004$ in the CHE model compared to the standard scenario. Finally, we find that secondary stars experiencing CHE frequently produce the most massive compact object in the binary system. In BHNSs, this implies that the black hole progenitor is the secondary star. Conversely, BBHs formed through accretion-induced CHE likely have asymmetric black hole components, but only a negligible fraction of these asymmetric systems ultimately merge within an Hubble time.

description: In this work, we have successfully fabricated Sr-doped porous LaFeO3 samples via sol–gel method. The results reveal that Sr2+ cation is effectively doped into LaFeO3 crystal lattice substituting La3+ cation. The visible light catalytic performance of the materials was evaluated by the degradation of 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) and Rhodamine B (RhB). The amount-optimized Sr-doped porous LaFeO3 sample exhibited outstanding visible-light catalytic performance for the degradation of the model pollutants compared to the porous LaFeO3 alone. The enhanced performance was accredited to the enlarged surface area, absorption extension via the surface states of the introduced Sr2+ below the conduction band bottom of LaFeO3, and promoted charge carrier’s separation as confirmed by various experiments. Experiments of radical trapping reveal that •OH species are dominant intermediate oxidants involved in the oxidation of 2,4-DCP and RhB over the optimized sample. This research will provide new routes for environmental remediation based on the LaFeO3 semiconductor.

description: This study reports the synthesis of sunlight-active zinc oxide-tungstate-kaolinite photocatalytic composite prepared via a green process (solvent-free mechano-thermal process) at an optimum temperature of 500°C for 1 h in a furnace. Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) study suggests the presence of W5+ defect states in the prepared photocatalytic composite (ZnWK-5), which is responsible for its photoactivity in visible light. Results from further analysis show that hole (h+) and superoxide radical (.O2−) are the major contributors to the photocatalytic efficiency of ZnWK-5 photocatalytic composite. This photocatalytic composite was used to treat water containing an antibiotic chemical-ampicillin (AMP) under sunlight. Mass spectrometry analysis of the treated water suggests that the mechanism of photodegradation of AMP is via several bond and ring cleavages, including amide bond, phenyl ring, and β-lactam ring cleavages. These cleavage reactions were followed by subsequent mineralization of ca. 98% after 5 h without the formation of toxic products. The introduction of phosphate and carbonate anions had a serious negative impact on the photocatalytic activity of the composite. However, the photocatalytic composite completely disinfected water contaminated with gram-(−ve) and gram-(+ve) bacteria. Even after five re-use cycles, the photocatalytic composite maintained a 90% photodegradation efficiency of ampicillin in water.

description: Prosapogenin A (also known as Progenin III and polyphyllin V), a secondary steroidal saponin in Dioscorea zingiberensis tubers, has more superior pharmacological activities than its primary form Protogracillin. Conventional preparation methods, such as column chromatography, and acidic hydrolysis, are of very low efficiency and limited scale due to tedious procedures and large consumption of organic solvent. This study aims to establish a convenient method for efficiently obtaining Prosapogenin A by enzymatic hydrolysis of abundant Protogracillin in the raw material. In light of the highest hydrolysis performance, β-dextranase was selected from four commercial enzymes in this application. After optimization of the conditions by the response surface methodology using Box–Behnken design, the enzymatic hydrolysis was carried out in 0.20 M HAc-NaAc buffer (pH 4.81) containing β-dextranase/Protogracillin (5.0:1, w/w), and the system was constantly kept at 56.7°C water bath for 4 h. Consequently, Protogracillin has been almost completely hydrolyzed to be Prosapogenin A and the highest yield was 96.4 ± 1.4%. The newly proposed approach is efficient and promising for conveniently obtaining Prosapogenin A and aimed to provide a laboratory-scale experimental foundation for the preparation of Prosapogenin A in industrial applications.

Um die Ursachen dieses Phänomens zu ergründen, ohne auf Erklärungen wie die These des Kampfes der Kulturen zurückzugreifen, wurden im Zuge dieser qualitativen Studie im Zeitraum von April bis Juni 2007 zwanzig Interviews mit Jugendlichen der Zweiten Generation muslimischen Glaubens durchgeführt. Nicht kulturelle Differenzen, sondern spezifische Probleme muslimischer Jugendlicher der Zweiten Generation (antimuslimische Einstellungen in und Ausschlüsse aus der Mehrheitsgesellschaft sowie Verortungsprobleme zwischen Herkunfts- und Mehrheitsgesellschaft) werden als Erklärungen für eine Intensivierung muslimischer und religiöser Identitäten gesehen. Ethnische und religiöse Identität muslimischer Jugendlicher der Zweiten Generation sind nicht nur aufgrund des Migrationshintergrundes zu erklären. Sie stellen mögliche Strategien dar, um mit Problemen in der Residenzgesellschaft zurechtzukommen. Identitäre Verortungen werden hierbei durch die Herausbildung von Bewältigungsstrategien beeinflusst. Es kann nicht nur eine Bewältigungsstrategie sein zu sagen, MuslimIn zu sein, sondern die Identität des MuslimIn-Seins wird durch die Herausbildung der Bewältigungsstrategie mittels identitärer Verortung verändert. Eine religiöse und ethnische Identität kann weiters verändert oder verstärkt werden, da eine Übernahme von Vorurteilen der Mehrheitsgesellschaft erfolgt. Die Übernahme einer Fremd- als Selbstbezeichnung und die gleichzeitig erfolgende Aufwertung dieser stellt eine Bewältigungsstrategie dar. Dies bedeutet, dass nicht nur identitäre Verortungen muslimischer Jugendlicher der Zweiten Generation mit Bewältigungsstrategien verknüpft sind, sondern auch, dass Vorurteile über muslimische Jugendliche der Zweiten Generation identitäre Verortungen und Bewältigungsstrategien beeinflussen. Phänomene, wie der islamische Fundamentalismus, werden nicht als Produkt eines sich zuspitzenden Kampfes der Kulturen verstanden. Sie werden als Produkt von Problemen in der Residenzgesellschaft und als Möglichkeit mit diesen umzugehen gesehen.
title: The women’s hammam: a lived place of feminine culture & representation in Maghrebi literature & film
Creators: name: Belahmar Louazani, Assya

description: This study analyses Maghrebi Francophone Postcolonial literature and films by Algerian 
female authors such as Assia Djebar, Leï la Sebbar, and filmmaker Rayhana Obermeyer 
who expose the feminine condition in post-independence Algeria, during and after the 
traumatic Civil War. The focus of the study revolves around the space used to depict this 
feminine condition, the homosocial women's hammam. Based on the notions of 'lived 
space' by French geographer and phenomenologist Gaston Bachelard, and Luce Irigaray 
and Deborah Jones's 'parler femme' and 'women's oral culture', I argue that these feminist 
Algerian women's writings all specifically use the historically exoticized hammam as a 
lived space to create an emancipated microcosm for their female characters in a
patriarchal society – a female-exclusive microcosm where Algerian women gather, 
socialize and finally feel free to express their taboo and repressed thoughts and desires, 
and to explore and nurture their bodies like nowhere else.
Through Djebar, Sebbar and Obermeyer’s Maghrebi insider lens, and mine, I explore how 
these representations of the women's hammam disclose realities that go further than 
Orientalist imagination and hegemonic patriarchal discourses could have ever grasped. 
These writings provide an account of the Algerian women’s socio-political condition, their 
physical and spiritual awareness, but also their solidarity in the face of male adversity 
from an insider's rendition of the presumed exotic setting where it all takes place, the 
hammam – a place where all the senses are embraced, and where the hammam’s lived 
experiences nurtures and discloses both the lived female bodies and the women’s 
minds/voices in an oppressive postcolonial Algeria.

description: Artificial synapse is a key element of future brain-inspired neuromorphic computing systems implemented in hardware. This work presents a graphene synaptic transistor based on all-technology-compatible materials that exhibits highly tunable biorealistic behavior. It is shown that the device geometry and interface properties can be designed to maximize the memory window and minimize power consumption. The device exhibits a virtually continuous range of multiple conductance levels, similar to synaptic weighting, which is achieved by gradual injection/emission of electrons into the floating gate and interface traps under the influence of an external electric field. Similar to the biological synapse, the transistor has short-term intrinsic dynamics that affect the long-term state. The temporal injection/emission dynamics of an electronic synapse closely resemble those of its biological counterpart and is exploited to emulate biorealistic behavior using a number of synaptic functions, including paired-pulse facilitation/depression, spike-rate-dependent plasticity, and others. Such a synaptic transistor can serve as a building block in hardware artificial networks for advanced information processing and storage.

description: Naturally occurring sinapic acid is a valuable synthon for many high-value applications (e.g. cosmetic, pharmaceutic) that can be found in numerous plants, especially Brasiccacea species (e.g. rapeseed, mustard). It has been demonstrated that alkaline extraction of matter rich in sinapic acid resulted in the conversion of sinapic acid into 6-hydroxy-5,7-dimethoxy-2-naphtanoic acid (DMNA). Although DMNA could be a potential alternative to petro-based naphtanoic acid used in polymers, untill now, no reliable (bio)synthetic procedure existed to synthesize it at the preparative-scale. Herein, starting from sinapic acid, we describe a very simple one-pot two-step chemo-enzymatic pathway to DMNA – and reaction intermediaries bislactone (BL) and thomasidioic acid (TA) – at gram scale using a simple filtration as purification step. Green metrics – Process Mass Index and EcoScale – have been determined to assess the sustainability of this new process. Finally, the antiradical activities of DMNA, BL and TA have been evaluated.

description: Various commercially available primary and secondary hydrosilanes were exploited for versatile direct dehydrocoupling with alcohols and phenols through cobalt catalysis. The protocol enables efficient Si–O bond formation with a host of O–nucleophiles and silanes (27 examples, 67–91% yield), with precatalyst loadings of 0.5–2 mol%. Beyond enabling a practical and greener approach to silyl ethers, this type of pincer-supported cobalt catalysis provides a blueprint for the development of a broad range of efficient reactions leading to synthetically relevant organometalloids. Moreover, the use of silanes as substrates and precatalyst activators permits the use of inexpensive and easily accessible Earth-abundant metal complexes and avoids the presence of additional activators.
title: Betreuung von Menschen mit geistiger Behinderung im Alter in Wien
Creators: name: Karner, Patrizia
Year: 2008

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit dem Thema „Alter und Behinderung“. Es wird der Frage nachgegangen welche Konzepte es in Wien für die Betreuung von Menschen mit geistiger Behinderung im Alter gibt und welche Mängel und Defizite bei der praktischen Umsetzung auftreten. Zu Beginn wurden die für die Arbeit relevanten Begriffe definiert. Im Anschluss daran wurden die Dimensionen des Alters bei Menschen mit geistiger Behinderung und bei nichtbehinderten Menschen betrachtet. Anschließend wurde die Problematik auch aus einem geschichtlichen Hintergrund, vor allem die Zeit des Dritten Reichs, heraus betrachtet um zu erläutern warum gerade jetzt das Thema „Alter und Behinderung“ sehr aktuell ist. Anhand der Theorie wurden Interviewleitfäden erstellt, mit deren Hilfe bei der Lebenshilfe Wien und Jugend am Werk qualitative Klienten- und Experteninterviews durchgeführt wurden. Ausgewertet wurden die Interviews anhand der Auswertungsmethoden nach Lamnek. Die Interviews haben gezeigt, dass sich die Organisationen bemühen Menschen mit geistiger Behinderung im Alter ein würdevolles Altern zu ermöglichen. Die Ideen für die sogenannten „Seniorengruppen“ sind aus der Praxis heraus entstanden. In Zukunft muss noch viel in diese Richtung gemacht werden, da die Zahl der älterwerdenden Menschen mit geistiger Behinderung zunimmt.
description: The present diploma thesis deals with the issue „age and disability“. It raises the question which concepts exist in Vienna for old people with mental disability and what are the lacks and deficits during practical implementation. First, I defined the relevant terms of the thesis. Then, the paper focuses on the ageing dimensions of humans with mental disability and those of humans without any disability. Moreover, I examined the problem also from an historical point of view in order to illustrate why the issue “age and disability” is right now highly topical. On the basis of the theory I developed interview guidelines by means of which I could interview clients and experts at the organizations “Lebenshilfe Wien” and “Jugend am Werk” in a high-quality manner. Then, the questioning was evaluated by means of evaluation methods according to the sociologist Lamnek. The interviews showed that these organizations make great efforts in order to enable old people with mental disability to grow old with dignity. The practice required that the idea of so-called “Seniorengruppen” (groups of old people) emerged. For the future, there is still a lot to be done in this field since the number of old people with mental disability increases.
