Willensfreiheit
No full textThis book surveys recent debates on freedom of will, incorporating the implications of modern brain research. The author develops an original, capability-based conception of freedom of will. Geert Keil proposes that the well-understood capability for deciding one way or another is reconcilable with the findings of empirical science, but not with the metaphysical doctrine of determinism
Kausalität zwischen Physik und deskriptiver Metaphysik
No full textThe short paper continues a debate on free will, causation and laws of nature between the author and the German philosopher Peter Rohs (opened in a previous issue of the same journal). Both Keil and Rohs are libertarians, but they disagree on a number of metaphysical issues. Keil maintains that causation is a relation between changes, i.e. time-consuming events, not between instantaneous states. Against Davidson’s “principle of the nomological character of causality”, Keil holds that no exceptionless laws subsuming cause-effect pairs exist. He further claims that the primary task of a philosophical theory of causality is to give truth conditions for uncontroversial instances of singular causal statements. This is an exercise in descriptive metaphysics. Causality’s place in advanced physics, by contrast, remains precarious. The paper closes with the incompatibilist claim that deterministic causality, unlike real-world causality, cannot be reconciled with free will

Konduktiv mehrfachtherapeutische Förderung nach Petö und Keil
No full textDie vorliegende Arbeit trägt den Titel: "Konduktiv mehrfachtehrapeutische Förderung nach Petö und Keil".
Die konduktiv mehrfachtherapeutische Förderung wurde von Helga Keil (weiter-)entwickelt und stellt eine multidimensionale Methode zur Förderung und Therapie von Menschen mit verschiedenen Behinderungen dar. Sie vereint das Wissen aus unterschiedlichen pädagogischen und therapeutischen Disziplinen (Logopädie, Ergotherapie, Physiotherapie, Sonder- und Heilpädagogik, ...) und ermöglicht so einen ganzheitlichen Blick auf das Klientel. Seit 1963 veranstaltet die Therapieinstitut Keil GmbH. jedes Jahr in Wien/Strebersdorf einen Intensiv-Therapiekurs für spastisch gelähmte Kinder, Jugendliche und junge Erwachsene nach der konduktiv mehrfachtherapeutischen Methode. Dabei werden die konduktiven Elemente um sportliche Aktivitäten wie Reiten, Schwimmen und Radfahren ergänzt, was gerade für Rollstuhlfahrer eine willkommene und oft lustvolle Abwechslung zu den üblichen Therapieangeboten darstellt.
Diese Diplomarbeit beschäftigt sich nun insbesondere mit den Auswirkungen dieses Therapiekurses auf das Selbstkonzept von Menschen mit cerebralen Bewegungsbeeinträchtigungen. Mit Hilfe des "Fragebogens zu Kompetenz- und Kontrollüberzeugungen" wurde eine kontrollierte Einzelfallstudie mit zwei Probanden im A-B-E-Design durchgeführt. Anhand der gewonnenen Daten konnte festgestellt werden, dass der Intensiv-Therapiekurs vor allem auf den Teilbereich der "fatalistischen Externalität" positive Auswirkungen zeigt. Als weiteres Ergebnis der Studie kann festgehalten werden, dass die intensive Förderung nur kurzfristig positive Effekte zeigt, wenn im Anschluss nicht weiter therapeutisch und pädagogisch gearbeitet wird. Somit kommt vor allem auch der Kontinuität in der konduktiven Förderung eine große Bedeutung zu
Characterization of the murine cytomegalovirus genes encoding the major DNA binding protein and the ICP18.5 homolog
No full textIn several herpesviruses the genes for the major DNA binding protein (MDBP), a putative assembly protein, the
glycoprotein B (gB), and the viral DNA polymerase (pol) coliocate. In murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV), two members
of this gene block, pol (Elliott, Clark, Jaquish, and Spector, 1991, Virology 185, 169-186) and gB (Rapp, Messerle,
BOhler, Tannheimer, Keil, and Koszinowski, 1992, J. Virol., 66,4399-4406) have been characterized. Here the two other
MCMV genes are characterized, the gene encoding the MDBP and the ICP18.5 homolog encoding a putative
assembly protein. Like in human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) the genes order is pol, gB, ICP18.5, and MDBP. The 4.2-kb
MDBP mRNA is expressed first in the early phase, whereas the 3.0-kb ICP18.5 mRNA is a late transcript. The open
reading frame of the MDBP gene has the capacity of encoding a protein of 1191 amino acids with a predicted molecular
mass of 131.7 kDa. The MCMV ICP18.5 ORF is translated into a polypeptide of 798 amino acids with a calculated
molecular mass of 89.1 kDa. Comparison of the amino acid sequences of the predicted proteins of MCMV with the
respective proteins of HCMV, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), and herpes simplex virus type-1 (HSV-1) reveals a striking
homology ranging from 72% (HCMV), 50% (EBV), to 45% (HSV-1) for the MDBP sequence and from 74% (HCMV), 51 %
(EBV), to 49% (HSV-1) for the ICP18.5 sequence. These results establish the elose relationship of the two cytomegaloviruses,
and underline the usefulness of the murine model for studies on the biology of the CMV infection
Imaging cortical activity following affective stimulation with a high temporal and spatial resolution
No full textKeil J, Adenauer H, Catani C, Neuner F. Imaging cortical activity following affective stimulation with a high temporal and spatial resolution. BMC Neuroscience. 2009;10(1):83.Background:The affective and motivational relevance of a stimulus has a distinct impact on cortical processing, particularly in sensory areas. However, the spatial and temporal dynamics of this affective modulation of brain activities remains unclear. The purpose of the present study was the development of a paradigm to investigate the affective modulation of cortical networks with a high temporal and spatial resolution. We assessed cortical activity with MEG using a visual steady-state paradigm with affective pictures. A combination of a complex demodulation procedure with a minimum norm estimation was applied to assess the temporal variation of the topography of cortical activity. Results: Statistical permutation analyses of the results of the complex demodulation procedure revealed increased steady-state visual evoked field amplitudes over occipital areas following presentation of affective pictures compared to neutral pictures. This differentiation shifted in the time course from occipital regions to parietal and temporal regions. Conclusion: It can be shown that stimulation with affective pictures leads to an enhanced activity in occipital region as compared to neutral pictures. However, the focus of differentiation is not stable over time but shifts into temporal and parietal regions within four seconds of stimulation. Thus, it can be crucial to carefully choose regions of interests and time intervals when analyzing the affective modulation of cortical activity
Identification of the murine cytomegalovirus glycoprotein B gene and its expression by recombinant vaccinia virus
No full textThe gene encoding glycoprotein B (gB) of murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV) strain Smith was identified, sequenced, and expressed by recombinant vaccinia virus. The gB gene was found adjacent to the polymerase gene, as it is in the genome of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV). The open reading frame consists of 2,784 nucleotides capable of encoding a protein of 928 amino acids. Comparison with gB homologs of other herpesviruses revealed a high degree of homology. The similarity between the MCMV gB and the HCMV gB is most prominent, since 45% of the amino acids are identical. In addition, all cysteine residues are at homologous positions, indicating a similar tertiary structure of the two proteins. In contrast to HCMV, the MCMV gB mRNA is a true late transcript. A recombinant vaccinia virus expressing the MCMV gB gene has been constructed (Vac-gB). Antibodies raised against the Vac-gB recombinant precipitated proteins of 130, 105, and 52 kDa from MCMV-infected cells. The identity of the MCMV gB with the major envelope glycoprotein of MCMV described by Loh et al. was shown (L. C. Loh, N. Balachandran, and L. F. Qualtiere, Virology 166:206-216, 1988). Immunization of mice with the Vac-gB recombinant gave rise to neutralizing antibodies
