Das Stadtarchiv Sterzing
No full textDie in vorliegender Arbeit stattgefundene Beschäftigung mit der Geschichte des Sterzinger Stadtarchivs, eingebettet in jene der Kommunalarchive Südtirols des 20. Jahrhunderts, zeigt die wechselvolle Geschichte sowie den Einfluss mehrerer Archive auf den heute im Südtiroler Landesarchiv lagernden Bestand. Der erste Teil der Arbeit skizziert so vor allem die Bestrebungen in Richtung des Archivalienschutzes durch Ordnung oder Einziehung mancher Kommunalarchive auf staatlicher Ebene, sei es vor dem Ersten Weltkrieg durch das Tiroler Landesarchiv oder aber im Faschismus durch das Staatsarchiv Bozen. Für das Stadtarchiv Sterzing wird in der Arbeit vor allem die Einziehung dessen Altbestandes durch das Staatsarchiv Bozen sowie die dort stattgefundene umfangreiche Neuordnung als entscheidende Phase hervorgehoben, da diese den Bestand grundlegend verändert hat. Ebenso werden die durch den Zweiten Weltkrieg sowie die Arbeit der „Südtiroler Kulturkommission“ Abteilung „Archive“ hervorgerufenen Veränderungen am Bestand thematisiert. Aus dieser Bestandsgeschichte und Kontextbeschreibung resultiert der heutige Bestand des Stadtarchivs Sterzing, die Beschaffenheit dessen Altbestandes im Südtiroler Landesarchiv sowie jene des Restbestandes in Sterzing. Eine umfassende Beschreibung des Altbestandes in Bozen nach den Standards des ISAD(G) sowie eine verkürzte Darstellung der 34 Serien bieten den LeserInnen der Arbeit einen Überblick über diesen. Die im Anhang gebrachte Konkordanzliste zum Bestand stellt den Versuch der Autorin dar, die im Staatsarchiv Bozen erfolgte Neuordnung des Bestandes mit dessen ursprünglichen Ordnung in Korrelation zu bringen, wodurch die Recherchemöglichkeit sowie die Auffindung von Archivalien im Bestand erleichtert werden soll.The thesis deals with the archival description and full analysis of the documents and records of the municipal archive “Stadtarchiv Sterzing” in Vipiteno/Sterzing in the province of Bolzano/Bozen-South Tyrol in Italy. The first chapter of the thesis analyzes the importance of the historical context of the municipal archives of South-Tyrol in the 20th century referred to the initial patronage of the „Tiroler Landesarchiv“ and later of the „Staatsarchiv Bozen“. Both archives actively promoted the confiscation of municipal archives. For the city archive of Sterzing, the confiscation lead by the “Staatsarchiv Bozen“ was critical as it resulted in an extensive reorganization of their records and the consequent loss of their context of origins. Further fundamental changes involved the evacuation of records during World War II and by the “Südtiroler Kulturkommission“ in the context of the “Option“, a plan of resettlement of the German speaking population of South Tyrol into the territories of the German Reich. Finally the possessions of the “Stadtarchiv Sterzing” together with all municipal archives preserved by the “Staatsarchiv Bozen” were taken into custody by the provincial archive of South Tyrol “Südtiroler Landesarchiv”. Starting from the mentioned historical analysis, the second part of the thesis describes the content and nature of the holdings of this archive. This part of the thesis offers a full overview and a description of the documents and records of the „Stadtarchiv Sterzing“, according to the guidelines of ISAD(G), as well as a shorter presentation of the subordinated 34 series. The concordance in the appendix is the result of an internship from 2015 in the „Südtiroler Landesarchiv“. It results in an attempt of the author to introduce a correlation between the reorganization of the archive by the „Staatsarchiv Bozen“ and the original arrangement of the holdings, in order to facilitate future researches and the allocation of archive documents
Pier Groups - A Conversation with Jonathan Weinberg
No full textTo mark the publication of Jonathan Weinberg’s provocative new book Pier Groups, the author speaks with artists Andreas Sterzing and Sasha Wortzel about art, sexuality, and the New York waterfront from the 1970s to the present. In light of the fiftieth anniversary of the 1969 Stonewall riots, the conversation explores how the area has changed since the 1970s and highlights the artists’ personal recollections of the piers and New York City over the past fifty years.
Following Stonewall, the Hudson River piers and surrounding Meatpacking District became a site of exploration and experimentation for queer artists. Pier Groups (Penn State Press) weaves together interviews, documentary photographs, literary texts, artworks, and film stills to show how avant-garde practices competed and mingled with queer identities along the Manhattan waterfront. Part memoir, part art history, the book is a document of the artistic and sexual expression that characterized—and ultimately transformed—the neighborhood where the Whitney now stands.
In Chapter 6: "Something Possible Everywhere" Jonathan Weinberg talks about Andreas Sterzing's work at Pier 34, and illustrates this chapter with numerous of his photographs and portraits of the artists working at the Pier in 1983-84

From Gender Microaggressions to Sexual Assault: Measure Development and Preliminary Trends Among Undergraduate Women
No full textSexual violence is a substantial problem on college campuses, particularly for undergraduate women who consistently report higher rates of nonconsensual sexual contact and sexual harassment during their college careers when compared to the general student population. A wide range of mental and behavioral health concerns are associated with sexual violence, such as depression, posttraumatic stress disorder, problem drinking, and missing school. A notable gap in the current campus sexual violence literature is its exclusion of chronic gender-based slights and invalidations known as gender microaggressions. Gender microaggressions are defined as intentional and unintentional slights, insults, and invalidations based on gender and most frequently targeting women. Presently, we lack basic information on the types, frequency, location, and impact of gender microaggressions on college campuses. This dearth of information leaves policy makers, administrators, educators, and researchers ill equipped to confront the causes of campus sexual violence. To address these gaps, this project asks the following research questions: (1) What are the types of gender microaggressions experienced by undergraduate women? (2) What are the past year frequencies of gender microaggressions, sexual harassment, and sexual assault for undergraduate women? (3) Where do gender microaggressions, sexual harassment, and sexual assault occur most frequently for undergraduate women? (4) What is the association between gender microaggressions and mental and behavioral health?Three studies were executed to answer these questions. First, a qualitative focus group study (N = 23) with UCB undergraduate women was conducted and directed content analysis employed to examine gender microaggressions themes. Second, a cross-sectional measure design and validation study (N = 220) was conducted, implementing exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and bivariate correlations to take the first steps in validating a gender microaggressions measure for undergraduate women. Third, a cross-sectional quantitative study (N = 220) was carried out to examine gender microaggressions’ frequency, location, and correlates. This study began by employing chi-square tests and logistic regression to examine differences in microaggressions, sexual harassment, and sexual assault frequency by race and sexual orientation. The study then used descriptive percentages to explore locations where gender microaggressions, sexual harassment and sexual assault occur. Finally, multiple linear and logistic regressions were used to identify relationships between gender microaggressions and mental and behavioral health variables when controlling for sexual harassment and sexual assault.For Research Question 1, the qualitative study identified four undergraduate gender microaggressions themes: (1) Assumption of Traditional Gender Roles, (2) Presumed Incompetence (3) Environmental Invalidations, and (4) Sexual Objectification. Important developmentally and contextually specific sub-themes emerged, adding nuance and specificity to the taxonomy for undergraduate women. Three sub-themes were noted under Assumption of Traditional Gender Roles: (1) Caretaker/Nurturer, (2) Women Dominated Occupations, and (3) Weak/“Damsel in Distress.” In addition, Male Dominance emerged as a sub-theme of Presumed Incompetence and University/Infrastructure Invalidations emerged as a sub-theme of Environmental Invalidations. The project employed a measure design process and used EFA to identify the measure’s latent factor structure. The Undergraduate Gender Microaggressions Scale (UGMS) emerged with 18-items and four factors. The factors were (a) Presumed Incompetent (Factor 1 – 8 items), being treated like you do not understand or do not have the capacity to make a substantial contribution; (b) Gender Role Stereotypes (Factor 2 – 4 items), being expected to serve as caretaker or take on administrative roles; (3) Male Dominance (Factor 3 – 4 items), experiencing situation in which men are expected to hold power or serve as the point of reference and women are inferior; and (d) Institutional Invalidations (Factor 4 – 2 items).For Research Question 2, the frequencies of gender microaggressions, sexual harassment, and sexual assault were examined. Gender microaggressions were ubiquitous, with nearly every participant (99.6%) experiencing at least one form of gender microaggressions. The majority of the sample (87.3%) experienced sexual harassment, with sexual assault experienced less frequently (37.7%). When examining difference in frequency across race and sexual orientation, Asian undergraduate women had lower odds of upper quartile gender microaggressions, sexual harassment, and sexual assault scores. No other significant differences were noted by race or sexual orientation.Research Question 3 was exploratory and examined the locations where gender microaggressions, sexual harassment, and sexual assault occurred on campus. Gender microaggressions were most likely to occur in classrooms and lecture halls, campus grounds, and on social media while sexual harassment was most likely to occur on campus grounds, in classroom and lecture halls and at fraternity and sororities. Sexual assault was a less frequent experience but was most reported in off campus housing and fraternity and sororities.For Research Question 4, gender microaggressions had a significant positive relationship to depression, stress, and posttraumatic stress symptoms when controlling for sexual harassment, sexual assault and relevant demographic variables. Gender microaggressions were also positively related to school avoidance and alcohol use when controlling for sexual harassment, sexual assault, and relevant demographic variables. This dissertation sought to more clearly operationalize and measure sexual violence and gender discrimination within college communities. The refinement of a context (i.e., college campus) and developmentally specific (i.e., undergraduate) gender microaggressions measure is the first step to understand the role of subtle gender discrimination in both sustaining sexually violent cultures and as antecedents to legally actionable sexual offenses for adolescents and emerging adults. Increasing knowledge of gender microaggressions’ prevalence and location has the potential to elevate awareness among administrators, funders, practitioner, and students. Disrupting gender microaggressive climates holds the possibility of improving undergraduate women’s mental health while also creating more positive environments for women to engage fully with the university resources designed to support their success

Patients received C12 therapy at a dose of 3 Gray equivalents (GyE) (relative biological effectiveness [RBE]) per fraction up to 24 GyE RBE, followed by 50 GyE of photon IMRT in 25 fractions.Conclusion: IMRT plus C12 ion boost as a definitive or adjuvant treatment for pelvic ACCs seems to be a promising therapeutic option. No unexpected toxicity was detected and the observed toxicity remained consistently low. The initial treatment response is promising and similar to that experienced for head and neck ACCs. Keywords: ACC of Bartholin’s gland, adenoid cystic carcinoma, ACC of the prostate, ion therapy, IMRT, tomotherapy, particle irradiation, carbon io

Lack of extended venous thromboembolism prophylaxis in high-risk patients undergoing major orthopaedic or major cancer surgery. Electronic Assessment of VTE Prophylaxis in High-Risk Surgical Patients at Discharge from Swiss Hospitals (ESSENTIAL)
No full textExtended pharmacological venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis beyond discharge is recommended for patients undergoing high-risk surgery. We prospectively investigated prophylaxis in 1,046 consecutive patients undergoing major orthopaedic (70%) or major cancer surgery (30%) in 14 Swiss hospitals. Appropriate in-hospital prophylaxis was used in 1,003 (96%) patients. At discharge, 638 (61%) patients received prescription for extended pharmacological prophylaxis: 564 (77%) after orthopaedic surgery, and 74 (23%) after cancer surgery (p < 0.001). Patients with knee replacement (94%), hip replacement (81%), major trauma (80%), and curative arthroscopy (73%) had the highest prescription rates for extended VTE prophylaxis; the lowest rates were found in patients undergoing major surgery for thoracic (7%), gastrointestinal (19%), and hepatobiliary (33%) cancer. The median duration of prescribed extended prophylaxis was longer in patients with orthopaedic surgery (32 days, interquartile range 14-40 days) than in patients with cancer surgery (23 days, interquartile range 11-30 days; p<0.001). Among the 278 patients with an extended prophylaxis order after hip replacement, knee replacement, or hip fracture surgery, 120 (43%) received a prescription for at least 35 days, and among the 74 patients with an extended prophylaxis order after major cancer surgery, 20 (27%) received a prescription for at least 28 days. In conclusion, approximately one quarter of the patients with major orthopaedic surgery and more than three quarters of the patients with major cancer surgery did not receive prescription for extended VTE prophylaxis. Future effort should focus on the improvement of extended VTE prophylaxis, particularly in patients undergoing major cancer surgery
