description: Controlling insect pests and weeds is crucial in managing rice, the world’s most important food crop, since, due to limits of land area available for an expansion of riceproduction, increases in productivity have to be achieved mainly through higher yields on already existing rice fields. While conventional rice farming involves the applicationof herbicides as well as pesticides which can have adverse effects on the environment, organic management systems have evolved which depend on little or no application ofchemicals. In the Haean-myeon Catchment, South Korea, the introduction of Pomacea canaliculata as a biological weed control agent is being practiced by a number offarmers. Within the scope of this study conventional and organic rice farming practices, the latter using P. canaliculata, are compared in terms of their scales of rice leaf and panicle herbivory as well as weed cover. Moreover, it is analysed if differences in productivity exist between management types and to which extent these can be related to herbivory damage or weed cover. Another integral part of this study is the investigation of population and dispersion characteristics of Pomacea canaliculatawithin and outside of a rice field which is analysed using a mark-recapture approach. Moreover, as P. canaliculata is a highly invasive species, the distribution of this snailspecies within the Haean-myeon Catchment, South Korea, is investigated. While no significant difference between management types could be found in terms ofherbivory, significant differences could be shown concerning weed cover which was found to be much higher in conventional fields without snails. Productivity was shownnot to be significantly different between the two systems, but the most productive field was shown to be an organic one. The population size estimate for the population size ofP. canaliculata within a rice field was computed to be 1135.8 ± 100.1 snails with a snaildensity of 0.78 snails per 0.5 m2 in June. The average distance travelled by P. canaliculata was computed to be 2.31 ± 3.58 m, while 25.73 m was the maximum lineardistance observed. Concerning the distribution of P. canaliculata within the catchment it was found that snails are distributed within most of the river system throughout the catchment excluding the elevated parts. While only adult P. canaliculata were present in June, hardly any adult individuals were encountered in September. Instead youngindividuals were present in large numbers.

description: Ist von einer Polarisierung der Gesellschaft die Rede, dann geht es immer wieder auch um Sprache – um Begriffe, die nicht (mehr) verwendet werden sollen, und um moralische Haltungen und politische Standpunkte, die mit dem Gebrauch bestimmter Begriffe (ver)deutlich(t) werden. Welche Dynamiken werden im politischen Diskurs in Gang gesetzt, wenn die moralischen Kategorien „richtig“ und „falsch“ auf Sprache angewandt werden? Das zeigen Sprachwissenschaftler der Universität Heidelberg – beruhend auf der Idee des Philosophen Ludwig Wittgenstein, nach der Bedeutung aus dem Sprachgebrauch entsteht.

description: In den 1920er-Jahren beschrieb der Soziologe Karl Mannheim ein Phänomen, das 100 Jahre später wieder hochaktuell ist: Eine gespaltene, politisch polarisierte Gesellschaft, in der Weltanschauungen zunehmend konträr gegeneinanderstehen, lässt sich unter anderem daran erkennen, dass Konfliktpartner den Standpunkt des Gegners insgesamt entwerten, anstatt sich mit dessen Faktentreue auseinanderzusetzen. Das deutschsprachige politische Theater der Moderne war ein Medium solcher propagandistischer Zersetzungspraktiken, aber auch der kritischen Reflexion derartiger Strategien. Anhand von Propagandaszenen identifizieren Heidelberger Germanistinnen und Germanisten Strategien der literarischen Entlarvung, mit denen die Literatur bis heute an der Stabilisierung und Destabilisierung von Wissensansprüchen beteiligt ist.

description: „Fake news“ beziehungsweise Falschnachrichten verbreiten sich im Internet schneller als Fakten und sie erreichen auch mehr Menschen. Der Frage, warum dies so ist und wie Gesellschaften damit umgehen können, geht die Kommunikationswissenschaft auch an der Universität Heidelberg nach. Die Möglichkeit, andere Internetnutzer:innen vor Falschnachrichten zu warnen, wird dabei als eine neue Form politischer Partizipation gesehen. Doch wie effektiv sind derartige „Online Civic Interventions“? Entscheidend scheint die Form der Intervention zu sein: Der Rückgriff auf eigene Erfahrungen mit den betreffenden Themen und das Erzählen eigener Lebensepisoden könnte dabei wirksamer sein als der Versuch, Falschnachrichten mit Fakten zu korrigieren, denn eigene Erfahrungen können Räume für andere Sichtweisen öffnen und schließlich auch mehr Rationalität im Diskurs herstellen.

description: Jede Gesellschaft hat ihre moralischen Wertungen, wobei die Frage, was unter der Unterscheidung von „richtig“ und „falsch“ zu stehen hat, im ständigen Fluss ist: Moral wird im Wechselspiel von Moralisierung und Entmoralisierung fortlaufend reguliert. Besonders interessant ist diese Moralregulation in der Politik, wo sich die Frage stellt, wie mit unbedingten moralischen Ansprüchen umzugehen ist, die nicht auf Abwägung und Kompromiss angelegt sind und somit eine potenzielle politische Sprengwirkung entfalten. Aber auch die Wissenschaft muss zwischen den Extremen einer starken moralischen Einhegung der Forschung einerseits und ihrer völligen Entkopplung von moralischen Belangen andererseits navigieren. Als wesentliches Element der Moralregulation erweist sich hier das öffentliche Vertrauen in die Wissenschaft.

title: Solar driven water electrolysis based on silicon solar cells and earth-abundant catalysts

description: In the present work “proof of concept” upscaling steps were taken for a PV-EC device of 100 cm² substrate size. The active thin film silicon solar cell area was increased to 64 cm², while earth-abundant nickel based catalysts were scaled up by a factor of 100 to electrode areas of 50.3 cm². Implementing the thin film silicon solar cell into the PV-EC device in combination with the earth-abundant catalysts yielded a solar-to-hydrogen efficiency of 5.1 %, which is significantly improved compared to a PV-EC device based on nickel electrodes. It is shown that noble metal catalysts can be replaced by earth-abundant materials without performance losses. The long-term stable operation of the scaled up PV-EC devices is ensured by the use of metal sheet electrodes serving as substrate for the catalyst deposition. Regarding the catalyst stability, an excellent performance over 4 days under day-night-cycling was found for the earth-abundant nickel based system. Furthermore, the characterization of integrated PV-EC devices was expanded to illumination conditions similar to those obtained outdoors. All components used in water splitting devices are usually optimized under standard test conditions in the laboratory, which only represent one set of a wide range of possible outdoor operating conditions. For a combined PV-EC system the generation of hydrogen will only occur for output voltages above a certain value (thermodynamic potential + overpotential losses). This means, any illumination conditions shifting the illuminated current-voltage curve of the coupled system such that the voltage at the operating point is too low, will switch the system off. The influence of the operating temperature has been investigated prior to the present work, but studies concerning other possible illumination conditions were missing and therefore investigated in the present work. Additionally, a first estimation of the annual hydrogen output is given to compare devices based on different multi-junction cells and employing different catalyst systems for spectral data reported in literature.

description: DNA methylation, an epigenetic modification, is mediated by DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs), a family of enzymes. Inhibitions of these enzymes are considered a promising strategy for the treatment of several diseases. In this study, a quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) modeling was employed to understand the structure-activity relationship (SAR) of currently available non-nucleoside DNMT1 inhibitors (i.e., indole and oxazoline/1,2-oxazole scaffolds). Two QSAR models were successfully constructed using multiple linear regression (MLR) and provided good predictive performance (R2Tr = 0.850-0.988 and R2CV = 0.672-0.869). Bond information content index (BIC1) and electronegativity (R6e+) are the most influential descriptors governing the activity of compounds. The constructed QSAR models were further applied for guiding a rational design of novel inhibitors. A novel set of 153 structurally modified compounds were designed in silico according to the important descriptors deduced from the QSAR finding, and their DNMT1 inhibitory activities were predicted. This result demonstrated that 86 newly designed inhibitors were predicted to elicit enhanced DNMT1 inhibitory activity when compared to their parent compounds. Finally, a set of promising compounds as potent DNMT1 inhibitors were highlighted to be further developed. The key SAR findings may also be beneficial for structural optimization to improve properties of the known inhibitors.

Künstliche Intelligenz: Das Titelbild unseres Forschungsmagazins zum Thema RICHTIG & FALSCH ist KI-generiert. Den Code dazu finden Sie auf der ersten Innenseite. Dass sich die erste Ausgabe der RUPERTO CAROLA in meiner Herausgeberschaft unter anderem mit einem zentralen Bestandteil und einer der spannendsten Entwicklungen der Digitalisierung befasst, passt zu meinem Programm. Digitalisierung, Nachhaltigkeit und Diversität sind Fokusbereiche in meinem Rektorat. Die Frage nach richtig und falsch, die im Mittelpunkt dieser 23. Ausgabe steht, spielt dabei immer eine zentrale Rolle. Wie komplex sich diese Frage gestalten kann, wollen wir Ihnen mit dem Schwerpunktthema näherbringen, das wiederum zugleichg einen Einblick in die Themenvielfalt der Spitzenforschung an unserer Universität gibt.


Neben der inhaltlichen Beschäftigung mit der Künstlichen Intelligenz schlagen die Artikel in diesem Magazin einen Bogen von der ältesten bekannten Fälschung der Menschheitsgeschichte aus der Zeit der Herrscher von Assyrien und Babylonien bis zu Problemen der Gegenwart wie Fake News, Verschwörungstheorien und den Streit um „richtige“ und „falsche“ Wörter. Beiträge aus der philosophischen, theologischen und medizinischen Ethik, aus der Soziologie und den Rechtswissenschaften zeigen, wie die Fragen nach richtig und falsch seit jeher, aber insbesondere auch aktuell die Menschheit und unsere Gesellschaft beschäftigen.


Ich wünsche Ihnen eine anregende Lektüre mit hoffentlich bereichernden Erkenntnissen!

title: Surface Studies of Porous Materials Using Solid-state NMR and DNP-SENS
Creators: name: Kumari, Bharti
Publisher: name: UNSPECIFIED
Year: 2020

description: In this thesis, solid-state NMR techniques partially combined with DNP were extensively used to study surface interactions and the surface functionalization of various porous materials. Three types of materials are discussed in the thesis: (i) mesoporous silica SBA-15, (ii) etched ion-track polycarbonate membranes and (iii) complex cellulose paper substrates. For mesoporous silica, the detailed investigation of interactions of water and octanol-1 molecules with the pore surface of silica SBA-15 is presented. For this, conventional room temperature 1D and 2D solid-state NMR techniques were utilized. Local interactions between surface and guest molecules (octanol-1 and water) were studied by 1H-29Si FSLG CPMAS HETCOR experiments. While working on FSLG CPMAS HETCOR experiments, a challenging referencing problem on the indirect proton dimension was observed. Thus, a new referencing approach was developed using the 2D 1H-1H MAS FSLG pulse sequence, which allows the exact referencing of the indirect dimension of the FSLG CPMAS HETCOR. Furthermore, complex materials were also examined, eg., etched ion-track polycarbonate foils and cellulose paper substrates. Since these materials contain low surface areas, it was necessary to use DNP technique. The characterization of the pore surface of silica-coated ion etched PC membrane was investigated by DNP-SEN technique. Furthermore, functionalized paper substrates were investigated with DNP-SENS and various kinds of radical matrices were examined in order to obtain a correlation between the polarization matrix and achievable signal enhancement in the spectra.

description: Unitals of order $n$ are incidence structures consisting of $n^3+1$ points such that each block is incident with $n+1$ points and such that there are unique joining blocks. In the language of designs, a unital of order $n$ is a $2$-$(n^3+1,n+1,1)$ design. An affine unital is obtained from a unital by removing one block and all the points on it. A unital can be obtained from an affine unital via a parallelism on the short blocks. We study so-called (affine) $\mathrm{SL}(2,q)$-unitals, a special construction of (affine) unitals of order $q$ where $q$ is a prime power. We show several results on automorphism groups and translations of those unitals, including a proof that one block is fixed by the full automorphism group under certain conditions. We introduce a new class of parallelisms, occurring in every affine $\mathrm{SL}(2,q)$-unital of odd order. Finally, we present the results of a computer search, including three new affine $\mathrm{SL}(2,8)$-unitals and twelve new $\mathrm{SL}(2,4)$-unitals.

AbstractThrough the use of service learning in higher education, universities hope to both provide real benefit to the partnering community and allow students to develop a greater understanding of course curriculum, their discipline, and their personal positioning within society. Through these educational activities, service learning seeks to engage students in critical thinking processes while simultaneously achieving a greater sense of civic and social responsibility through targeted participation in meaningful community service activities. However, in practice, service learning can take a variety of forms predicated on technical, cultural, societal, and political constraints. Thus, while some work shows positive effects on students’ attitudes, social behaviour, and academic performance, less research has demonstrated long-term community impact. Nor has much research shown that participation in service learning has a long-term impact on students' ethical perspectives and frameworks, and whether those ethical frames carry on to their professional careers. Moreover, as institutions partner with such humanitarian service groups as Engineers Without Borders USA, we know considerably less about the institutional cultures and climates that are developed through such partnerships and how sustainable they are, given those inherent technical, political and cultural limitations. As a first step towards these goals, this paper proposes a methodology for investigating the impacts of service learning activities on both the students and communities involved.

description: IV MgSO4 administration in women with severe preeclampsia resulted in a decrease in umbilical artery, uterine artery, and fetal middle cerebral artery Doppler indices. Objective: To evaluate Doppler parameters of the umbilical artery (UmA), uterine artery (UA), and fetal middle cerebral artery (MCA) before and after MgSO4 administration in women with severe preeclampsia. Methods: A case control study included 100 pregnant women with severe preeclampsia. Umbilical artery, uterine artery, and fetal middle cerebral artery Doppler were measured before and 20 minutes after intravenous administration of 6 g of magnesium sulfate. Results: There was a significant difference between maternal systolic blood pressure (173.20 ± 22.72 vs. 156.60 ± 19.18), diastolic blood pressure (109.60 ± 9.14 vs. 101.90 ± 10.05), and heart rate (80.52 ± 11.52 vs. 88.48 ± 12.08) before and after administration of MgSO4 in the studied patients (p value < 0.001). There was a significant difference between umbilical artery, middle cerebral artery, and uterine artery Doppler parameters before and after administration of MgSO4 in the studied patients (p value < 0.001). There was no significant difference between umbilical artery/middle cerebral artery with regard to RI and PI. However, there was significant difference with regard to the S/D ratio (p value < 0.001). The decrease in the values of Doppler parameters before and after administration of MgSO4 was more in the middle cerebral artery than in the umbilical artery. Conclusion: Intravenous administration of magnesium sulfate in pregnant women with severe preeclampsia resulted in a decrease in umbilical artery, uterine artery, and fetal middle cerebral artery Doppler indices with reduced resistance to blood flow in these vessels.

description: This paper conceptualizes the use of interactive urban dashboards in collecting and visualizing sustainability indicators at local scales through a cycling dashboard prototype for Münster. Urban dashboards are integrated platforms that bring various data types and sources together and automatize the visualization of information in real time. They can function as information hubs that work with mobile applications, sensor-based data, and crowdsourced platforms. Visualization of information can present both map-based data, text, and graphical information. In this study, a cycling dashboard is introduced that is developed as a prototype. The dashboard is based on the sustainability indicators related to cycling infrastructure defined by the German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB). It retrieves crowdsourced open data from Open Street Map (OSM) and automatically updates the information when new data are entered into the platform. This enables detailed exploration of the geo-referenced information up to street level and comparisons between different districts. In order to achieve a comprehensive framework, four main steps were included into the design and development process "determining a content by integrating future users, creating and evaluating a data inventory, designing the architecture of the dashboard, and implementing the prototype ". As a result, this study holistically draws a comprehensive framework for the urban cycling dashboard around three main modules focusing on the sustainability of cycling infrastructure "infrastructure guide, cyclists' voice, and idea center". Additionally, the first prototype of an open local cycling dashboard has been implemented. The prototype enables the automation of collection, analysis, visualisation, and deep exploration of sustainability-related data at local scales. The results of this study contribute to the status quo by supporting the design and development process of local urban dashboards through a participatory approach.

description: Objectives: Impairment in early B-cell development can cause a predominantly antibody deficiency with severe depletion of peripheral B-cells. Mutations in the gene encoding for Bruton’s-tyrosine-kinase (BTK) and the components of the pre-B-cell receptor complex or downstream signaling molecules have been related to this defect in patients with agammaglobulinemia. Methods: Iranian patients with congenital agammaglobulinemia were included and the correlation between disease-causing mutations and parameters such as clinical and immunologic phenotypes were evaluated in available patients. Results: Out of 87 patients, a molecular investigation was performed on 51 patients leading to identification of 39 cases with BTK (1 novel mutation), 5 cases of µ-heavy chain (3 novel mutations) and 1 case of Igα-deficiencies. Conclusion: Although there is no comprehensive correlation between type of responsible BTK mutation and severity of clinical phenotype, our data suggest that BTK-deficient and autosomal recessive agammaglobulinemia patients differ significantly regarding clinical/immunologic characteristics.

description: Certain engineered nanoparticles (ENP) reduce the flammability of components used in soft furnishings (mattresses and upholstered furniture). However, because of the ENP's small size and ability to interact with biological molecules, these fire retardant ENPs may pose a health and environmental risks, if they are released sometime during the life cycle of the soft furnishing. Quantifying the released amount of these ENPs under normal end-use circumstances provides a basis for assessing their potential health and environmental impact. In this article, we report on efforts to identify suitable methodologies for quantifying the release of carbon nanofibers, carbon nanotubes, and sodium montmorillonites from coatings applied to the surfaces of barrier fabric and polyurethane foam. The ENPs released in simulated chewing and mechanical stressing experiments were collected in aqueous solution and quantified using Ultraviolet-Visible and inductively coupled plasma–optical emission spectroscopy. The microstructures of the released ENPs were characterized using scanning electron microscopy. The reported methodology and results provide important milestones to estimate the impact and toxicity of the ENP release during the life cycle of the nanocomposites. To our knowledge, this is the first study of ENP release from the soft furnishing coating, something that can be important application area for fire safety.

description: We consider the problem of testing pairwise dependence for stationary time series. For this, we suggest the use of a Box–Ljung-type test statistic that is formed after calculating the distance covariance function among pairs of observations. The distance covariance function is a suitable measure for detecting dependencies between observations as it is based on the distance between the characteristic function of the joint distribution of the random variables and the product of the marginals. We show that, under the null hypothesis of independence and under mild regularity conditions, the test statistic converges to a normal random variable. The results are complemented by several examples. This article has supplementary material online.

description: This article describes an efficient and facile synthesis of 11 2,4,6-trisubstituted 5-cyanopyrimidines starting from meta- and para-substituted 2-cyanocinnamonitriles and arylamidines. The synthesized heterocycles, 3a–k, were characterized by infrared (IR), 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and mass spectral data. The probable mechanism of formation of the title compounds employing 2-cyanocinnamonitriles and arylamidines in the presence of a base was clarified. A preliminary screening of the antibacterial tests clearly showed that 4 out of 11 pyrimidines, 3a, 3e, 3f, and 3k, were effective against bacteria Staphyloccus aureus, Bacillus subtillis, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Further, the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) against the bacteria has been determined.

description: The mechanical and structural properties of the extracellular matrix (ECM) play an important role in regulating cell fate. The natural ECM has a complex fibrillar structure and shows nonlinear mechanical properties, which are both difficult to mimic synthetically. Therefore, systematically testing the influence of ECM properties on cellular behavior is very challenging. In this work we show two different approaches to tune the fibrillar structure and mechanical properties of fibrin hydrogels. Addition of extra thrombin before gelation increases the protein density within the fibrin fibers without significantly altering the mechanical properties of the resulting hydrogel. On the other hand, by forming a composite hydrogel with a synthetic biomimetic polyisocyanide network the protein density within the fibrin fibers decreases, and the mechanics of the composite material can be tuned by the PIC/fibrin mass ratio. The effect of the changes in gel structure and mechanics on cellular behavior are investigated, by studying human mesenchymal stem cell (hMSC) spreading and differentiation on these gels. We find that the trends observed in cell spreading and differentiation cannot be explained by the bulk mechanics of the gels, but correlate to the density of the fibrin fibers the gels are composed of. These findings strongly suggest that the microscopic properties of individual fibers in fibrous networks play an essential role in determining cell behavior.

description: Objective. Aspects of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) are important for assessing perceived health status and treatment burden. We evaluated HRQoL using Short Form 36 Health Survey (SF-36) and factors associated with HRQoL. Methods. We collected basic and lifestyle-related, clinical, and treatment characteristics among 119 female Japanese patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Odds ratios (ORs) and their 95% confidence intervals were assessed for associations between HRQoL and selected factors. Results. Irregularity of sleep was significantly associated with risk of lower role physical (RP) (OR = 8.27), vitality (VT) (OR = 8.45), and role emotional (OR = 10.7) domains. Compared with clerical work, non-clerical work was significantly associated with risk of lower RP (OR = 7.39), and unemployment was significantly associated with risk of lower VT (OR = 41.0). Daily soybean intake was associated with improved General Health or GH (OR = 0.17). Compared with Systemic Lupus Collaborative Clinics Damage Index (SDI) = 0, SDI > 2 was associated with risk of lower PF (OR = 7.88), RP (OR = 4.29), and bodily pain (OR = 3.06) domains. Conclusion. Reduced HRQoL was observed in our SLE patients. Interventions addressing sleep and work disturbances, as well as daily soybean consumption, could alter the HRQoL of SLE patients.

description: Seafood mislabeling is a problem worldwide because it may cause underreporting of species exploitation and have detrimental effects on endangered species conservation. The persistence of this problem has been documented for important commercial species, revealing the need to devote more effort to provide effective management and control measures. In this study, we have applied DNA authentication tools, sequences of two mitochondrial genes, for authentication of 245 samples of fish marketed in Spain, one of the top fish consumer countries in the world. Fresh, frozen, smoked, salted, and cooked products were analyzed. Successful DNA extraction and positive polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification were obtained for all products. DNA sequences revealed greater than 7% mislabeling, unequally distributed among products, fish groups, and supply points where samples were obtained. Significantly higher mislabeling was found for unrecognizable processed products than for whole fish, suggesting that mislabeling is likely deliberate. Lower mislabeling occurred in samples purchased from local grocery stores in comparison with bigger supermarkets, wholesalers, and restaurants. In the case of anglerfish, underreported exploitation of the species from the Pacific Ocean is likely. The results emphasize the need for controlling the labels in different points of the fish supply chain and authenticating species, particularly in processed seafood.

description: Single quantum emitters of light are valuable resources for engineered quantum systems. They can 
function as robust single-photon generators, allow optical control of single spins, provide readout 
capabilities for atomic-scale sensors, and provide interfaces between stationary and flying qubits. 
Environmental factors can lead to single emitters exhibiting "blinking", whereby the fluorescence level 
switches between "on" and "off" states. Detailed characterisation of this blinking behaviour is often a 
powerful way to gain understanding about the underlying physical mechanisms, and determining the 
switching rates is typically desired. Bright emitters lead to high-contrast blinking, and simple thresholds 
can be used to extract the "on" and "off" intervals from a time-series of photon counts (and hence 
determine the switching rates). However, such approaches become difficult for emitters fluorescing at low 
levels. We have developed a Bayesian approach capable of inferring switching rates directly from the 
time-series. This is able to produce useful results even for weak blinking fluorescence traces with 
considerable background photon counts. Moreover, the Bayesian inference also yields a robust picture of 
the parameter uncertainties, providing a benefit also for bright emitters.
