Motive und Motivationen als Grundlage menschlichen Verhaltens – Überlegungen zu einer integrativen Motivationstheorie
No full textDie Untersuchungen der Autorin zur Motivation führen zu dem Schluss, dass Grundmotive im Menschen genetisch angelegt sind. Diese sind implizit in seinem Menschen- und Weltbild vorhanden und werden in situativen Motivationsprozessen aktualisiert. Das Motiv der Hilfeleistung, das in therapeutischen oder beraterischen Prozessen beim Therapeuten aktiviert ist, findet ein Gegenüber im Motiv der Suche nach Hilfe beim Klienten. Beide Seiten folgen einem, von der Autorin dargestellten intersubjektiven Motivationsprozess.The author’s research focuses on the origin and development of motives and moti¬vation with special emphasis on the motive of helpfulness in therapy or consulting. Helpfulness is an essential of the human character. It determines our concepts of the world and of mankind. From an integrative point of view the author discusses the origins of motives in man and develops a structural model of the process of motivation and behaviour of both, client and therapist.https://www.fpi-publikation.de/polyloge/13-2012-jaekel-brigitte-motive-und-motivationen-als-grundlage-menschlichen-verhaltens/peerReviewedpublishedVersio

Selective induction of apoptosis by 7-methyljuglone, its derivatives and isolated compounds from Foeniculum vulgare Mill. on human cancer cells
No full textDissertation (MSc)--University of Pretoria, 2011.A naphthoquinone, 7-methyljuglone and some of its 5-hydroxy, 5-acetoxy-, 5-alkoxy- and 1,2,4,5-tetra-O-acetate derivatives were tested for their activity in four human cancer cell lines: breast adenocarcinoma, cervical epithelial carcinoma, oesophageal carcinoma and prostate epithelial carcinoma. Compound 2,5-dihydroxy-7-methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone was found to be the most effective one (exhibited a fifty percent inhibitory concentration (IC50) in the range of 5.3 to 14.7 μM), while the parent compound 7-methyljuglone was less active than several of these derivatives. The IC50 values of 5-hydroxy-6-methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone were found to be between 19.1 and 15.4 μM on the four cell lines. However this compound showed toxicity on peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Six derivatives were selected for mechanistic studies. Considering the findings from cell cycle analysis, caspase 3/7 activation and annexinV-FITC dual labelling, 5-hydroxy-6-methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone was found to have antitumour effect by inducing apoptosis. Two derivatives namely, ‘8-fluoro-5-hydroxy-7- methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone’ and ‘2,5-dihydroxy-7-methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone’ were found to be not toxic on peripheral blood mononuclear cells suggesting their action is specific for tumour cells. Compound 2,5-dihydroxy-7-methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone was found to induce apoptosis through caspase 3/7 activation. In view of the enhanced potencies associated with these derivatives, these analogues may hold considerable therapeutic potential for the treatment of leukaemia cancers. The ethanol extracts of seven plant species (ethnobotanically selected) were also tested for their cytotoxicity, assayed by the XTT assay, against four human cancer cell lines at concentrations ranging from 0.78 to 100 μg/ml. Of all the ethanol extracts, Foeniculum vulgare was found to have the best activity on HeLa cells, which exhibited an IC50 value of 19.97± 0.048 μg/ml. Therefore, it was selected for isolation of the bioactive principles. The extract of Foeniculum vulgare was fractionated using column chromatography with hexane and ethyl acetate at different ratios as eluent. Two known compounds, ‘4-methoxycinnamyl alcohol’ and ‘syringin’ were isolated. The IC50 values of ‘4-methoxycinnamyl alcohol’ and ‘syringin’ were found to be 7.82 ± 0.28 μg/ml and 10.26 ± 0.18 μg/ml respectively on HeLa cells. Both compounds were tested for their cytotoxicity against U937 cells and also on peripheral blood mononuclear cells. At the concentrations of 10 and 100 μg/ml ‘4- methoxycinnamyl alcohol’ showed similar cell proliferation as that of the positive control ‘cisplatin’. ‘Syringin’ however, had much lower cytotoxicity on the U937 cells than ‘4- methoxycinnamyl alcohol’. IC50 was found to be 91.14 ± 0.63 μg/ml. Both ‘syringin’ and ‘4- methoxycinnamyl alcohol’ were not cytotoxic at concentrations of 1 and 10 μg/ml on the PBMCs as compared to cisplatin. ‘4-Methoxycinnamyl alcohol’ was selected based on its activity on the cancer cells, for further investigation with regard to its mechanism of action. On gel electrophoresis it did not show a typical ladder pattern, instead a characteristic smear resulted which indicated necrosis. Two best derivatives of 7-methyljuglone (‘8-fluoro-5-hydroxy-7-methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone’ and ‘2,5-dihydroxy-7-methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone’) and the ethanol extract of F. vulgare warrant further investigation to be considered for their potential as anticancer agents.Plant Scienceunrestricte

Criteria for selection and gate reviews of technology innovation projects
No full textAt the time this research was conducted, this author was enrolled for the MSc (Project Management) a degree at the Graduate School of Technology Management, University of Pretoria.This paper describes appropriate project selection criteria and gate review-point criteria for government agencies that fund technology innovation projects in South Africa. Data was gathered via a Delphi survey in which seven expert respondents participated. The most significant project selection criteria and relevant gate reviewing criteria were established. The proposed basic framework consists of fourteen selection criteria, their associated weights, and forty relevant gate reviewing criteria. Commercial risk and feasibility was considered the most important criterion, followed by the team’s skills and competence in second place. The use of these criteria when considering investment in technology innovation projects could improve the likelihood of commercial success.Hierdie artikel beskryf, vir staatsinstansies wat projekte vir tegnologiese innovasie in Suid Afrika befonds, toepaslike kriteria vir die seleksie van projekte en vir oorsig by hersieningspunte aan die einde van projek fases. Data is ingewin deur middel van ʼn Delphi-opname waaraan sewe deskundige respondente deelgeneem het. Die mees beduidende kriteria vir seleksie en oorsig is bepaal. Die voorgestelde raamwerk bestaan uit veertien seleksie-kriteria, relatiewe gewigte vir elk, en veertig kriteria vir hersiening by oorsigpunte. Kommersiële risiko en doenbaarheid word beskou as die belangrikste kriterium, wat gevolg word deur die span se vaardigheid in die tweede plek. Die gebruik van hierdie kriteria wanneer investering in projekte vir tegnologiese innovasie oorweeg word, kan die waarskynlikheid van kommersiële sukses verhoog.http://sajie.journals.ac.za/am201

Recenzja: Wiedeński okres w życiu Adolfa Hitlera w ujęciu Brigitte Hamann i Augusta Kubizka
No full text THE VIENNESE PERIOD IN ADOLF HITLER’S LIFE AS PRESENTED BY BRIGITTE HAMANN AND AUGUST KUBIZEKThe article discusses the literature and the findings concerning the relatively least explored questions concerning Adolf Hitler, namely those of his youth. As the author stresses, just over a dec­ade ago Polish readers interested in the Hitler phenomenon knew much less than they do now. Thanks to several books recently published in Poland they have had a chance to considerably expand their knowledge. The present author points to two figures, Brigitte Hamann and August Kubizek, focusing on the similarities and differences in their approach to this period of Hitler’s life.

Les paradoxes de Linguet
No full textBrigitte Burmeister : Linguet's paradoxes.
The social theories of Linguet (1736-1794) combine lucid criticism of 18th-century capitalism with pessimistic, even reactionary conclusions. In his Theory of Civil laws (1767), a critique of the Esprit des lois, Linguet begins with a description of the suffering caused by social inequality, to finish with a plan of reform which rejects any social change. Taking as a starting-point two " paradoxes " of Linguet — his apologies for slavery and for oriental despotism — the author demonstrates how these theories reveal the limitations of Enlightenment ideology by reflecting the contradictions of capitalistic society, insoluble within the framework of bourgeois emancipation. This results in the case of Linguet, not in a communistic Utopia but in an equally utopie, and yet reactionary, rejection of Enlightenment thought.Burmeister Brigitte. Les paradoxes de Linguet. In: Dix-huitième Siècle, n°7, 1975. pp. 147-155

Relying on meticulous research in Austria, Germany, and the United States, the author provides insights into the ambiguous feelings of admiration and respect that characterized the relationship of the Jewish doctor and the Nazi dictator throughout their lives. Hamann not only sweeps away misconceptions about Hitler’s youth, but in lucid, often gripping,..
Les Prologues de la trilogie marseillaise de Jean-Claude Izzo et l'ethos auctorial
No full textI tre romanzi della Trilogia marsigliese di Jean-Claude Izzo presentano la medesima struttura narrativa (Prologo, indagine ed Epilogo nei primi due romanzi). I prologhi hanno la caratteristica di mettere nel margine la figura del detective protagonista Fabio Montale e diventano il luogo privilegiato dove l’ethos autoriale (“implied author”, W.Booth) riesce a collocare in modo simbolico, a dispetto di un contesto sociale mafioso criminale, un suo sistema di valori da ritrovare nel passato e nell’affettività, quel mito antico che fa di Marsiglia o Massilia la città dell’ospitalità e del superamento delle differenze e delle discriminazioni razziali. The three novels of Jean-Claude Izzo’ trilogie marseillaise present the same narrative structure (Prologue, investigation chapters and Epilogue for only two first novels). The Prologues features are to emarginate the detective Fabio Montale and to stand out the “implied author” (W.Booth) who discloses ethical human values and affectivity among a desperate Mafia-like character society, and revitalizes the Massilia Myth, the city of the hospitality and the differences and racial discrimination overcoming
