BrandO. 2004
No full textKlassische Brände stellen für die Feuerwehr Situationen dar, deren Beherrschung in der Ausbildung umfassend behandelt und durch spätere regelmäßige Übungen vertieft wird. Immer häufiger treten jedoch Situationen auf, die durch ihr atomares, biologisches oder chemisches Gefahrenpotenzial weitreichende Auswirkungen haben können. Da sie "außergewöhnlich" sind, ist es sehr schwierig, die einzelne Situation in Übungen exakt nachzustellen. Allein auf das Improvisationstalent der Feuerwehren zu vertrauen, reicht vor dem Hintergrund der Gefahren, die mit diesen Situationen verbunden sind, nicht aus. BrandO. 2004 betrachtet Gefahrenlagen aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven. Neben übergreifenden Aspekten wie Behördenunterstützung und Öffentlichkeitsarbeit werden Situationen, die mit der Freisetzung chemischer Stoffe, biologischen Gefahren wie Tierseuchen sowie Gefahren durch Explosivkörper (z. B. "Dirty Bombs") verknüpft sind, diskutiert. Die Veranstaltung ist bereits der fünfte Beitrag der Fachtagungsreihe "BrandO.", die von Fraunhofer UMSICHT gemeinsam mit dem Referat 10 "Umweltschutz" der vfdb veranstaltet wird
5 Jahre BrandO. Die Tagungsbände 1999 - 2004. CD-ROM
No full textAufgabe der Feuerwehren ist es Gefahren für Menschen, Umwelt und Sachwerte abzuwehren. Die Gefahrenabwehr ist dabei längst nicht mehr auf die Brandbekämpfung beschränkt. Vielmehr gilt es, bedingt durch technische und gesellschaftliche Entwicklungen, sich auf neue und nicht immer vollständig planbare Situationen einzustellen. Ob bedingt durch den Unfall eines Kesselwagens der Bundesbahn, Tierseuchen, »Milzbrandbriefe« oder Brandfälle in biologischen Laboratorien, die Anforderungen an die Aus- und Fortbildung der Rettungskräfte nehmen rapide zu. Seit 1999 veranstaltet Fraunhofer UMSICHT zusammen mit dem Referat 10 »Umweltschutz« der vfdb die Fachtagungsreihe »BrandO.®« um Feuerwehren praktische Informationen für nicht alltägliche Einsatzlagen zu vermitteln. Die Referenten sind Praktiker aus Feuerwehren und unterschiedlichen Fachbehörden und berichten zum größten Teil von eigenen (Einsatz-) Erfahrungen und Konzepten. Das 5 jährige Jubiläum war für uns Anlass alle Referate der Tagungsbände 1999-2004 auf einer CD zusammenzufassen und für Sie zugänglich zu machen

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Public bodies, private moments : method acting and American cinema in the 1950s
No full textThe thesis deals with two central issues:
a) the construction of a framework for the study of film acting which places
performance in a cultural context
b) the cultural significance of Method acting during the 1950s with specific
reference to American cinema of the period
The first chapter considers the ways in which the voice and body in film acting are made
meaningful in the context of beliefs about acting and personal identity. The chapter also
proposes ways for situating the practical activity of film acting in a context of cultural
production.
The remaining chapters study the cultural significance of Method acting through
separate analyses of the Method technique, style, representation of gender, and image of
star performance. Readings of the Method technique and style are placed in the context of
a `culture of personality', in which the significance of the Method was produced in the
ways that acting signified beliefs about personal identity. The discussion of the Method
style is then developed in the analysis of the ways in which the style was used in film
melodramas to represent the gendered anxieties of the rebel hero. Finally, Marlon
Brando's image and performances are studied for how the actor personified the meaning
of the Method. Together, technique, style, gender representation, and stardom, are
studied as various aspects of what is called the Method discourse
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods

The ISCCA flow protocol for the monitoring of anti-CD20 therapies in autoimmune disorders
No full textAnti-CD20 monoclonals (MoAbs) are used in a variety of autoimmune disorders. The aim is to eliminate memory B cells sustaining the tissue damage and the production of pathogenic autoantibodies, while preserving naïve cells. The disappearance of memory B cells and the repopulation by naïve cells correlate with good clinical response, while the reappearance of memory B cells and plasmablasts correlates with relapse or resistance to therapy. Anti-CD20 induce extremely low B cell levels, requiring high-resolution techniques. The immune monitoring protocol developed by ISCCA is described and validated, to provide a standardized method for the clinical decision-making process during anti-CD20 therapies in autoimmune diseases
