Schnidejoch. Funde aus dem schmelzenden Eis
No full textIm Jahr 1991 wurde am Tisenjoch in den österreichisch-italienischen Alpen die mumifizierte Leiche eines jungsteinzeitlichen Mannes samt Kleidung und Ausrüstung gefunden. Unter dem Namen «Ötzi» gelangte die 5300 Jahre alte Eismumie zu Weltruhm und zählt bis heute zu den ältesten und bekanntesten Mumien. Der Sensationsfund rückte die alpinen Regionen in den Fokus archäologischer Forschungen. Es zeigte sich, dass schon in der Steinzeit das Hochgebirge weder unüberwindliche Barriere noch unwirtliches Niemandsland war, sondern den Menschen als Lebensraum diente

Virtopsy in der Unfallrekonstruktion
No full textMit der Virtopsy hat das Institut für Rechtmedizin der Universität Bern unter Prof. Dr. med. R. Dirnhofer und Prof. Dr. med. M. Thali die Rechtsmedizin über die ganze Welt revolutioniert. Obwohl einzelne Techniken, aus dem klinischen Medizinalltag stammend, bereits zu früherer Zeit im einen oder andere Autopsie-Saal bereits zur Anwendung kamen, waren es die Berner Rechtsmediziner, Radiologen und Ingenieure, welche diese kombinierten. Unter dem Begriff Virtopsy vereint sich die Nutzung von medizinischen bildgebenden Verfahren mit dem Erfassen der Körperoberfläche mittels 3D-Oberflächenscanning. Dadurch hat Virtopsy, nebst den rekonstruktiven Möglichkeiten, ein immenses Potential für die Dokumentation sowohl vom Verstorbenen als auch von Verletzungen von Lebenden. Gerade mittels der räumlichen Darstellung von inneren Verletzungen und Frakturen können diese für den medizinischen Laien optimal dargestellt und verständlich gemacht werden.
Bei der Klärung von Verkehrsunfällen, insbesondere bei Kollisionen von Motorfahrzeugen mit Fussgängern oder Zweiradfahrern - gegenüber welchen der Mensch besonders exponiert und verletzlich ist - aber auch zur Klärung von Verletzungen an Fahrzeuginsassen, zeigen sich die rekonstruktiven Möglichkeiten von Virtopsy.
Dabei gilt zu beachten, dass die 3D-Dokumentation mittels den erwähnten Verfahren eine Akquisition von digitalen Daten, nicht automatisch eine vollständige Auswertung zur Folge haben muss. Trotzdem zeigt sich, dass viele offene Fragen erst im Nachhinein auftreten, wenn die Befunde und Spuren nicht mehr zugänglich sind. Die mittels Virtopsy erhobenen digitalen Daten lassen sich jedoch zu jedem Zeitpunkt neu befunden oder weiter bearbeiten und können auch in Zukunft zur Klärung eines Unfallereignisses beitragen
Unemployment Benefits and Unemployment Rates of Low-Skilled and Elder Workers in West Germany: A Search Equilibrium Approach

To answer this question we estimate a version of the Burdett-Mortensen search equilibrium model and analyze how workers’ search behaviour responded to these reforms. We try both nonparametric and fully-parametric estimation methods and identify the cases in which the nonparametric approach cannot be applied. We find that the entitlement reforms are largely responsible for the increase of unemployment among unskilled workers

Reconstruction and 3D visualisation based on objective real 3D based documentation
No full textReconstructions based directly upon forensic evidence alone are called primary information. Historically this consists of documentation of findings by verbal protocols, photographs and other visual means. Currently modern imaging techniques such as 3D surface scanning and radiological methods (Computer Tomography, Magnetic Resonance Imaging) are also applied. Secondary interpretation is based on facts and the examiner's experience. Usually such reconstructive expertises are given in written form, and are often enhanced by sketches. However, narrative interpretations can, especially in complex courses of action, be difficult to present and can be misunderstood. In this report we demonstrate the use of graphic reconstruction of secondary interpretation with supporting pictorial evidence, applying digital visualisation (using 'Poser') or scientific animation (using '3D Studio Max', 'Maya') and present methods of clearly distinguishing between factual documentation and examiners' interpretation based on three cases. The first case involved a pedestrian who was initially struck by a car on a motorway and was then run over by a second car. The second case involved a suicidal gunshot to the head with a rifle, in which the trigger was pushed with a rod. The third case dealt with a collision between two motorcycles. Pictorial reconstruction of the secondary interpretation of these cases has several advantages. The images enable an immediate overview, give rise to enhanced clarity, and compel the examiner to look at all details if he or she is to create a complete image
