Effects of Acute Endurance Exercise on Plasma Protein Profiles of Endurance-Trained and Untrained Individuals over Time
2016-01-01

Acute physical exercise and repeated exercise stimuli affect whole-body metabolic and immunologic homeostasis. The aim of this study was to determine plasma protein profiles of trained (EET,<mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" id="M1"><mml:mi>n</mml:mi><mml:mo>=</mml:mo><mml:mn fontstyle="italic">19</mml:mn></mml:math>) and untrained (SED,<mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" id="M2"><mml:mi>n</mml:mi><mml:mo>=</mml:mo><mml:mn fontstyle="italic">17</mml:mn></mml:math>) individuals at rest and in response to an acute bout of endurance exercise. Participants completed a bicycle exercise test at an intensity corresponding to 80% of their<mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" id="M3"><mml:mrow><mml:msub><mml:mrow><mml:mi mathvariant="normal">V</mml:mi><mml:mi mathvariant="normal">O</mml:mi></mml:mrow><mml:mrow><mml:mn mathvariant="normal">2</mml:mn><mml:mi mathvariant="normal">m</mml:mi><mml:mi mathvariant="normal">a</mml:mi><mml:mi mathvariant="normal">x</mml:mi></mml:mrow></mml:msub></mml:mrow></mml:math>. Plasma samples were taken before, directly after, and three hours after exercise and analyzed using multiplex immunoassays. Seventy-eight plasma variables were included in the final analysis. Twenty-nine variables displayed significant acute exercise effects in both groups. Seven proteins differed between groups, without being affected by acute exercise. Among these A2Macro and IL-5 were higher in EET individuals while leptin showed elevated levels in SED individuals. Fifteen variables revealed group and time differences with elevated levels for IL-3, IL-7, IL-10, and TNFR2 in EET individuals. An interaction effect could be observed for nine variables including IL-6, MMP-2, MMP-3, and muscle damage markers. The proteins that differ between groups indicate a long-term exercise effect on plasma protein concentrations. These findings might be of importance in the development of exercise-based strategies in the prevention and therapy of chronic metabolic and inflammatory diseases and for training monitoring.
Semileptonic decaysΛc+→Λℓ+νℓ(ℓ=e,μ)in the covariant quark model and comparison with the new absolute branching fraction measurements of Belle and BESIII
2016-02-05

We present precise theoretical predictions for the absolute branching\\nfractions of decays in\\nthe covariant confined quark model. This study is motivated by two recent and\\naccurate measurements of the absolute branching fractions of and by the Belle Collaboration\\nat the KEKB and by the BESIII Collaboration at the BEPCII. Our predictions for\\nthe branching fractions are consistent with both experimental results. We also\\nprovide detailed numerical results for differential decay distributions and\\npolarization observables.\\n
Probabilistic pragmatics, or why Bayes’ rule is probably important for pragmatics
2016-06-01

Pragmatics is about language use in context. This involves theorizing about speakers’ choices of words and listeners’ ways of interpreting. More often than not, this also involves a certain amount of noise and uncertainty: speakers and listeners may not know exactly what the relevant contextual parameters are, they may make mistakes, believe that their interlocutor is uncertain and possibly prone to err, etc. We believe that taking this picture seriously can, despite its apparent messiness, inspire a stringent formal approach to pragmatics that lends itself to precise empirical testing. We call it probabilistic pragmatics here, to emphasize the role that probabilities play in it. But it contains much more. In the following, we try to sketch its main characterizing features in relation to other approaches and give some example applications. We argue that probability models are the natural and most practicable tool for modeling the richness of pragmatic phenomena which are affected by many unknown contextual factors. Sections 2 and 3 characterize probabilistic pragmatics. Section 2 discusses different levels of analysis in pragmatic theory, so as to contrast probabilistic pragmatics with alternative approaches. Section 3 discusses key properties of probabilistic pragmatics. Sections 4, 5 and 6 sketch examples of applications. Section 4 introduces a baseline model for reasoning about referential expressions to demonstrate how the probabilistic modeling, inspired by classical pragmatic theory, can be fit to experimental data. Section 5 exemplifies further ways in which probabilistic pragmatics can shed light on gradient patterns in empirical data. The leading example for illustration is that of scalar implicature. Section 6 argues that considering (multiple levels of) gradient subjective contextual uncertainty, as captured by a probability distribution, is essential to understanding indirect speech acts. This section demonstrates how explicit representations, inspired from game theory, of interlocutors’ preferences and likely dialogue moves help tackle indirectness of speech in non-cooperative contexts.
Tense
2016-06-30

Our focus in this chapter is the semantics of tense, one of the main devices for encoding time in language. The grammatical category of tense is used to locate a situation or event in time, typically in interaction with aspect. When tense relates the speaker's temporal focus, what is normally called the reference time, to the speech time, we have deictic or absolute tense. Aspect, on the other hand, is concerned with the internal temporal structure of the event, for example, whether the event time is included or not in the reference time.\\n\\nTense is typically marked by verbal morphology, normally an affix on the matrix verb or on an auxiliary verb, but the semantic tense operator is not interpreted at the verb. The operator can be located quite distant from the verb at the level of logical form. Thus, we must distinguish between tense semantics and tense morphology.\\n\\nWe will assume that ourmodel contains a set of times I, and, furthermore, that verbs have a temporal argument of the semantic type i (time intervals). The latter assumption will be revised when we include aspect in the analysis. Times are partially ordered by the relations ≺ ‘before’ and ≻ ‘after’. Time intervals are coherent sets of time points. Hence, they may overlap, stand in the inclusion relation and so on (von Stechow, 2009b).\\n\\nWhile everybody agrees that themeaning of past and future tenses is relational – with past placing the reference time before now and future after now – there is a long-standing issue in the literature as to the exact status of the reference time: is it quantificational or referential? We argue that this question cannot be answered straightforwardly. In our view, tenses, such as the simple past in English, are ambiguous between an indefinite (quantificational) and a definite (referential) interpretation of the reference time.\\n\\nWe will suggest that the data invite a dynamic account, according to which indefinite terms are analysed as introducing a new discourse marker (dm), whereas definite terms are considered to be anaphoric to an old dm and are in fact entirely presupposed.
ModelI–Vcurves and figures of merit of underdamped deterministic Josephson ratchets
2016-09-07

We propose simple models for the current-voltage characteristics of typical Josephson ratchets. We consider the case of a ratchet working against a constant applied counter force and derive analytical expressions for the key characteristics of such a ratchet: rectification curve, stopping force, input and output powers, and rectification efficiency. Optimization of the ratchet performance is discussed.
Gluon fusion andbb¯corrections to HW + W − / HZZ production in the POWHEG-BOX
2016-11-14

The study of the Higgs boson properties is one of the most important tasks to\\nbe accomplished in the next years, at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and at\\nfuture colliders such as the Future Circular Collider in hadron-hadron mode\\n(FCC-hh), the potential 100 TeV follow-up of the LHC machine. In this view the\\nprecise study of the Higgs couplings to weak gauge bosons is crucial and\\nrequires as much information as possible. After the recent calculation of the\\nnext-to-leading order QCD corrections to the production cross sections and\\ndifferential distributions of a Standard Model Higgs boson in association with\\na pair of weak bosons, matched with parton shower in the POWHEG-BOX framework,\\nwe present the gluon fusion correction to the\\nprocess . This correction can be sizeable and\\namounts to ( ) in the process and \\n( ) in the process at the LHC (FCC-hh). We also present the\\nfirst study of the impact of the bottom--quark initiated channels and find that they induce a significant \\ncorrection in the channel at the FCC-hh. We present results\\non total cross sections and distributions at the LHC and at the FCC-hh.\\n
Um panorama da economia solidária em Santa Catarina, Brasil
2017-01-01

The Solidarity Economy theme has been gaining ground both in the academic sphere and in the agenda of the various actors. Not coincidentally, the aim of this study was to present a Solidarity Economy overview in the State of Santa Catarina, inserted in a contradictory socio-economic context: while, on one hand, the state has indicators that show a higher degree of development, on the other, it reveals significant disparities among their regions. To achieve this objective, the Solidarity Economy Atlas for the years 2007 and 2013 were examined. The questioning reveals that Santa Catarina’s development is marked by inequality and that the Solidarity Economy appears as an alternative for a significant portion of the population. By comparing the data in the observed period, it was evident that the Solidarity Economy practices have been strengthened over time, and they are not only an alternative to workers but also contribute to local and regional development. Moreover, such actions are configured as a space of selfmanagement practice and, therefore, of potential generalization of this behavior in society.
Die Entdeckung der Zukunft
2017-01-30

How do you review a book that since its first publication in 1999 has acquired the status of a classic—not only within the specialist field of the history of time? Lucian Hölscher, professor emeritus at the Ruhr University Bochum, has seized the opportune moment for publishing a revised and supplemented edition of his Discovery of the Future, as we are currently experiencing a boom in studies on the historicity of time and temporal categories as well as on chronopolitics. Thus, whereas Hölscher’s book was somewhat ‘untimely’ in 1999—in the best Nietzschean sense of the word—it now has the benefit of both fore- and hindsight. Hölscher himself might be tired of hearing of this distinguished affiliation, but it does provide an important bit of context to know that the author of Futures Past, the late Reinhart Koselleck, was his academic teacher, and thus Futures Past and Begriffsgeschichte, that is the German variant of conceptual history, can also be seen as starting points for the future’s past and the many futures passed which Hölscher scrutinizes in this book. Already in his habilitation, Weltgericht oder Revolution from 1989, Hölscher had contrasted protestant and socialist visions of the future. Entdeckung der Zukunft developed from his prior in-depth study into the prophetic, prognostic, programmatic, utopian and scientific modes of production of the future during the last decades of the ‘long nineteenth century’. The idea for the habilitation had arisen at the end of the 1970s against the backdrop of waning expectations for the future and a not exclusively German angst (cf. Weltgericht oder Revolution. Protestantische und sozialistische Zukunftsvorstellungen im deutschen Kaiserreich, Stuttgart 1989, p. 9). This ‘contemporary dissolution of a structural order’, to quote Charles Maier (Consigning the Twentieth Century to History. Alternative Narratives for the Modern Era, in: AHR 105 (2000), p. 807–831, p. 809), allowed Hölscher ‘to glimpse trends formerly so ubiquitous they had not been perceived as issues for historical investigation’. A transformation of the hitherto prevalent understanding of time and the future thus enabled Hölscher to historicize an alleged anthropological constant and show the fickleness and mutability of a fundamental category of our understanding of reality. Yet, in what sense was the future discovered, and if so, when?
Theoretical description of the decays Λb→Λ(*)(12±,32±)+J/ψ

We calculate the invariant and helicity amplitudes for the transitions\\n where the\\n are -type ground and excited states with\\n quantum numbers . The calculations are\\nperformed in the framework of a covariant confined quark model previously\\ndeveloped by us. We find that the values of the helicity amplitudes for the\\n and the are\\nsuppressed compared with those for the ground state \\nand the excited state . This analysis is\\nimportant for the identification of the hidden charm pentaquark states\\n and which were discovered in the decay chain\\n because the cascade decay chain\\n involves the same\\nfinal state.\\n
Bewegungserkennung mit Wearables für Embodied Trainings in Serious Games
2017-08-31

Embodied Trainings - Übungen mit Ganzkörperbewegungen und Gesten - können das Lernen mit computergestützten Lernspielen für Kinder mit Lernschwächen effizienter und motivierender gestalten. In dem Lernspiel "Silbenschwingen mit Betonung" nutzen wir die in Smartphones und Fitnessarmbänder eingebauten Accelerometer zur Bewegungs- und Gestenerkennung. Damit untersuchen wir die Möglichkeit, inwiefern solche Embodied Trainings auch für mobile Serious Games entwickelt werden können. Wir erreichen bei der Klassifizierung von Silbenschwüngen unter Einsatz von Dynamic Time Warping und nur einem Training pro Geste bei Erwachsenen eine Genauigkeit von 99.3 % und bei Kindern zwischen 82.2 % und 93.9 %. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass einfache Gesten wie Silbenschwünge zuverlässig erkannt werden können, verdeutlichen jedoch auch die Herausforderung bei der Entwicklung von Embodied Trainings für Kinder.

Diagnostic value of autoantibody titres in patients with bullous pemphigoid
2018-01-01

Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is the most common autoimmune blistering disease of the skin requiring skin and serum tests for a precise diagnosis. We analysed the sensitivity and specificity of BP-relevant parameters and the value of autoantibody titres during follow-up of BP patients. In a retrospective single-centre study, we included 200 consecutive patients with BP and 400 non-BP patients, and evaluated the test results of patients' serum and skin. In addition, we followed patients' autoantibody titres and clinical characteristics. BP180-ELISA revealed the highest sensitivity (85.0%; specificity: 93.9%), while BP230-ELISA demonstrated the lowest sensitivity (55.5%; specificity: 92.9%). Direct and indirect immunofluorescence showed comparable results for sensitivity (77.2%/72.7%) and specificity (94.9%/93.7%). The sensitivity for skin histology was 76.3% (specificity: 81.3%). Longitudinal analysis showed significant changes in autoantibody titres. BP diagnostics should include serum tests for BP autoantibodies and skin immunofluorescence. Skin histology is supportive for diagnosis. Autoantibody titres are markers for disease activity.
Das Bildungserbe der Reformation und seine Bedeutung für heute
2018-01-01

This article refers to the relationship between the Reformation and education.Its special perspective is that of a Protestant heritage which the author identifies and discusses historically and theoretically.In the first part of the article, a brief sketch is given concerning Martin Luther's views of education, with special emphasis on the school and on Religious Education at school as well as on catechetical instruction in church.The second part of the article describes a number of perspectives which could be of importance for today's understanding of education, not only within Protestantism itself but also for a wider public and for the philosophy education.These perspectives refer to, for example, the relationship between faith or religion and education, the relationship between believing and knowing or the anthropology of education.In conclusion, the author identifies a number of new challenges which a Protestant understanding of education has to face up to in today's world.A key challenge which has not been addressed sufficiently in the Protestant tradition is seen in the pluralism of different religions and worldviews characteristic of present-day societies.The author tries to show that there are responses to such challenges which are in line with the Protestant tradition but that this tradition also has to be willing to include new understandings.

Practical experiences are reported about implementing a workflow for the prediction of mass spectra. QCEIMS is used to simulate the fragmentation trajectories consequently leading to predicted mass spectra for small molecules, such as metabolites. The individual calculations are embedded into UNICORE workflow nodes using Docker containerization for the applications themselves. Challenges, caveats, but also advantages are discussed, providing guidance for the deployment of a scientific protocol on high performance computing resources.
Improved Limit on Neutrinoless Double-β Decay of Ge76 from GERDA Phase II
2018-03-26

The GERDA experiment searches for the lepton-number-violating neutrinoless double-β decay of ^{76}Ge (^{76}Ge→^{76}Se+2e^{-}) operating bare Ge diodes with an enriched ^{76}Ge fraction in liquid argon. The exposure for broad-energy germanium type (BEGe) detectors is increased threefold with respect to our previous data release. The BEGe detectors feature an excellent background suppression from the analysis of the time profile of the detector signals. In the analysis window a background level of 1.0_{-0.4}^{+0.6}×10^{-3} counts/(keV kg yr) has been achieved; if normalized to the energy resolution this is the lowest ever achieved in any 0νββ experiment. No signal is observed and a new 90% C.L. lower limit for the half-life of 8.0×10^{25} yr is placed when combining with our previous data. The expected median sensitivity assuming no signal is 5.8×10^{25} yr.
0νββ-decay nuclear matrix element for light and heavy neutrino mass mechanisms from deformed quasiparticle random-phase approximation calculations for Ge76, Se82, Te130, Xe136, and Nd150 with isospin restoration
2018-04-27

In this work, with restored isospin symmetry, we evaluated the neutrinoless\\ndouble beta decay nuclear matrix elements for Ge, Se, Te,\\n Xe and Nd for both the light and heavy neutrino mass mechanisms\\nusing the deformed QRPA approach with realistic forces. We give detailed\\ndecompositions of the nuclear matrix elements over different intermediate\\nstates and nucleon pairs, and discuss how these decompositions are affected by\\nthe model space truncations. Compared to the spherical calculations, our\\nresults show reductions from to about of the nuclear matrix\\nelements for the calculated isotopes mainly due to the presence of BCS overlap\\nfactor between the initial and final ground states. The comparison between\\ndifferent nucleon-nucleon forces with corresponding Short-Range-Correlations\\n(src) shows, that the choice of the NN force gives roughly deviations\\nfor light exchange neutrino mechanism and much larger deviations for the heavy\\nneutrino exchange mechanism.\\n
Deep inelastic e−τ and μ−τ conversion in the NA64 experiment at the CERN SPS
2018-07-05

We study the lepton flavor violating (LFV) e(μ)-τ conversion in deep inelastic scattering (DIS) of electrons (muons) on fixed-target nuclei. Our model-independent analysis is based on the set of low-energy effective four-fermion LFV operators composed of leptons and quarks with the corresponding mass scales Λk for each operator. Using the estimated sensitivity of the search for this LFV process in events with large missing energy in the NA64 experiment at the CERN SPS, we derive lower limits for Λk and compared them with the corresponding limits existing in the literature. We show that the DIS e(μ)-τ conversion is able to provide a plenty of new limits as yet nonexisting in the literature. We also analyzed the energy spectrum of the final-state τ and discussed the viability of the observation of this process in the NA64 experiment and ones akin to it. The case of polarized beams and targets is also discussed.
Compact High-Tc Superconducting Terahertz emitter operating up to 86 K
2018-08-27

Single crystals of the high-temperature superconductor Bi Sr CaCu O are promising terahertz emitters, but for operating temperatures above 70 K they either show no emission or radiate well below 500 GHz, limiting their applicability. To improve their emission properties, especially above liquid-nitrogen temperature, a standalone stack of overdoped material with high critical temperature and critical current density is embedded in a sandwich structure, for efficient heat removal. Emission of 0.577-THz light is achieved at 80 K, and the experimental results are compared to simulations based on three-dimensional coupled sine-Gordon equations plus heat-diffusion equations.
Boosting the H→invisibles searches with Z boson polarization
2019-03-18

It is argued that, in invisibles searches with \\nassociated production at the LHC, the signal efficiency can be sensibly\\nimproved via a detailed study of the boson polarization, discriminating\\nbetween the signal and the dominant-irreducible \\nbackground. We first present a comprehensive polarization study, obtaining the\\ncomplete set of angular coefficients in the Collins-Soper reference frame\\nand identifying the dominant phenomenological effects. Then, we show the\\nresults for a realistic Monte Carlo study to invisibles, taking the\\npolarization analysis into account. We obtain about improvement in the\\nupper bound for the branching ratio of the Higgs boson to invisible particles,\\nassuming of data at the 13 TeV LHC.\\n
Measuring Historical Emotions and Their Evolution: An Interdisciplinary Endeavour to Investigate The ‘Emotions of Encounter’ | Medindo emoções históricas e sua evolução: um esforço interdisciplinar para investigar os "As Emoções do Encontro"
2019-06-28

ABSTRACT The empirical study of emotions in Spanish travelogues and reports requires cultural knowledge as well as the use of linguistic annotation and quantitative methods. We report on an interdisciplinary project in which we perform emotion annotation on a selection of texts spanning several centuries to analyze the differences across different time slices. We show that indeed the emotional connotation changes qualitatively and quantitatively. Next to this evaluation, we sketch strategies for future automation. This scalable reading approach combines quantitative with qualitative insights and identifies developments over time that call for deeper investigation.Keywords: Análise de Emoções Emotion Analysis; Annotation; Scalable Reading; History of Cultural Encounter; Travelogues and Reports in Spanish.
Ist Stress westlich?
2019-08-01

When does stress – understood as a bodily and psychological condition connected to rapid social change and the pressure to perform – become a social concern? Previous historical research has situated the topic exclusively in the West: stress as a characteristic condition of what is understood to beWestern capitalism. Using the examples of the state socialist GDR and Czechoslovakia in the 1960s –1980s, this contribution demonstrates how stress became a broad social concern in a non-liberal, noncapitalist context. It thereby challenges the notion that stress is a Western phenomenon, proposing instead to see it in the context of developed and “multiple” modernities.
