Early Modern Dissertations in French Libraries: The EMDFL Dataset
No full textEMDFL contains aggregated metadata of up to 55 178 early modern dissertations in French libraries published between 1564 and 1800. It is the first attempt to capture metadata for early modern dissertations in a given region regardless of their country of origin. The data were retrieved from the union catalogue of French university libraries (SUDOC) and the general catalogue of the Bibliothèque Nationale de France (BNF), harmonized and reconciled. The process is documented in Python notebooks which are included in the dataset. The present paper includes reflections on challenges in using generalist categories for catalogization when dealing with early modern prints, because these categories are less refined and not always applied uniformly by cataloguers. Therefore, the overall data quality is lower than in the case of specialist bibliographies of early modern prints, e. g. the Verzeichnis deutscher Drucke. Nevertheless, the data facilitate fresh insights into the circulation of dissertation prints across Europe, allowing for data-guided analyses of knowledge exchange on a European scale
Effects of a lifestyle intervention on the biomarkers of oxidative stress in non-communicable diseases: A systematic review
No full textOxidative stress plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of chronic diseases. Therefore, improvement of oxidative stress status through lifestyle intervention can play a vital role in preventing and treating chronic diseases. This systematic review aims to provide an overview of articles published in the last decade examining the association between lifestyle intervention and oxidative stress biomarkers in the context of non-communicable diseases. The electronic databases PubMed and Web of Science were searched for relevant studies, following the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting of Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines. This systematic review focused on the four important oxidative stress biomarkers; glutathione (GSH), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, and malondialdehyde. 671 articles were identified, of which nine met the inclusion criteria. A trend emerged, showing that lifestyle modifications that focus on diet and physical health can improve oxidative stress in the form of an increase in superoxide dismutase and CAT levels and a decrease in Malondialdehyde levels in participants with non-communicable diseases (NCDs), GSH levels were not affected. However, the results are difficult to compare because of the heterogeneity of the methods of the biomarkers studied. Our review indicates that oxidative stress can be influenced by lifestyle modifications and may be an effective tool for the prevention and management of non-communicable diseases. This review also elucidated the importance of analyzing multiple oxidative stress biomarkers to evaluate oxidative stress, it further highlights the need to conduct long-term lifestyle intervention studies on oxidative stress biomarkers to understand the connection between oxidative stress biomarkers, NCDs and Lifestyle intervention

No full textFriedrich Schneider, Christus der Meister. Oratorium in drei Teilen:Klavierauszug
No full textBereits in den 1820er Jahren fasste der Dessauer Hofkapellmeister Friedrich Schneider den Plan zur Komposition einer zusammenhängenden Reihe von vier abendfüllenden Oratorien, die das Leben Jesu zum Gegenstand haben. Zwar hat Schneider seinen ursprünglichen Plan einer Tetralogie nicht realisiert, jedoch sind immerhin drei vollständige Oratorien entstanden, die eine zusammenhängende Trilogie bilden (Christus das Kind, Christus der Meister, Christus der Erlöser). Mit dieser Edition der Partitur sowie der Neuedition des Klavierauszuges von "Christus der Meister" liegt erstmals das notwendige Material zur Wiederbelebung des zweiten Teils der Christus-Trilogie vor
Modified Trochanteric Flip Osteotomy in Varus Intertrochanteric Osteotomy for Treatment of Legg–Calvé–Perthes Disease
No full textBackground/Objectives: Legg–Calvé–Perthes disease (LCPD) presents challenges in treatment due to its varied course and unclear etiology. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of combining proximal femoral varus osteotomy (PFVO) with a modified trochanteric flip osteotomy to address biomechanical consequences and improve hip abductor muscle strength. Methods: We present a modified approach combining PFVO with a trochanteric flip osteotomy. In this technique, the greater trochanter in compound with its muscular insertions is separated from the femur and attached distally using a varization blade plate. Nine patients (ten hips, mean age 8 years) with LCPD were treated using this technique. Clinical examination findings and radiographic evaluations were retrospectively analyzed. The median follow-up was 33 months. Results: At the last follow-up, two patients exhibited Trendelenburg gait, but hip abduction was improved in all patients. Radiographically, consolidation at the osteotomy site was observed in all cases with no delayed union or non-union. The median CE angle improved by 7°, while the median CCD decreased by 18°. The median MPFA decreased by 13°, resulting in a median of 82°. Conclusions: Combining PFVO with a modified trochanteric flip osteotomy addresses biomechanical issues associated with PFVO, potentially improving hip containment and abductor muscle strength. This approach may offer advantages over traditional osteotomy techniques in treating LCPD, and it appears to produce a superior functional outcome in particular in regard to limping when compared to conventional PFVO. Despite satisfactory radiological outcomes in most cases, further research is needed to assess long-term effectiveness and address challenges such as femoral head enlargement and persistent gait abnormalities
Neue Nachbarschaft:Deutschland und die Niederlande, Bildformung und Beziehungen seit 1990
No full textHeutzutage ist es kaum vorstellbar, aber vor 20 Jahren war von einer Krise in den deutsch-niederländischen Beziehungen die Rede. Jacco Pekelder erklärt, wie die beiden Länder seitdem an einer neuen Nachbarschaft gearbeitet haben. Wichtige Impulse lieferten Besuchsreisen von Spitzenpolitikern und Staatsoberhäuptern, neue Netzwerke und eine Vielzahl von Bildungsprojekten. Deutlich änderte sich auch das niederländische Deutschlandbild. Insbesondere die Beziehungen zu Nordrhein-Westfalen wurden stark intensiviert. Entscheidend für den Wandel waren allerdings das Zusammenleben in Europa, der veränderte Umgang mit dem Zweiten Weltkrieg und ein neues Selbstbild der Niederländer im Zeitalter der Globalisierung
On the historicity of the Assyrian royal family in Classical and Byzantine historiography
No full textDiese Anmerkung untersucht die Zusammensetzung und Kanfiguratian der assyrischen Konigsfamilie gemäß der klassischen Oberlieferung und stellt sie der spateren byzantinischen Geschichtsschreibung gegen0ber. Es wird gezeigt, dass es mehr und deutlichere Obereinstimmungen mit der histarischen Realitat gibt, als bisher angenammen wurde. lnsbesandere lasst sich der van loannes Malalas erwahnte Konig "Thauras" eindeutig mit Pulu (d. h. TukultT-apil-Esarra IV*. van Assyrien) identifizieren. Dies deutet darauf hin, dass der fragwürdige Membronios/Semeronios van Babylon eine echte syrische Quelle war, auf die sich Malalas stutzte. Aufgrund dieser Erkenntnisse m0ssen die
Oberlieferungen Ober die assyrische Konigsfamilie in der klassischen Geschichtsschreibung erneut eingehend untersucht werden, um ihre lnspiratiansquellen und ihre jeweilige Wahrhaftigkeit besser zu ermitteln.This note examines the membership and configuration Assyrian royal family according to Classical tradition, contrasting it with that of later Byzantine historiography. It is demonstrated that there are more and clearer resonances with historical reality than has previously been thought. Most notably, the king "Thouras" noted by loannes Malalas can be neatly identified with Pulu (i.e. Tukulti-apil-Esarra IV* of Assyria). This suggests that the spurious Membronios/Semeronios of Babylon was a genuine Syriac source upon which Malalas drew. On the strength of these findings, traditions about the Assyrian royal family in Classical historiography must be re-investigated in detail, to establish better their inspiration and respective veracity
