TET2-Mutationen in Patienten mit myeloischen Neoplasien: Eine molekulargenetische und molekularzytogenetische Analyse
No full textIn der vorliegenden Arbeit wurde ein Kollektiv von Patienten mit einer myeloischen Neoplasie in Hinblick auf TET2-Mutationen mittels molekularzytogenetischer und molekulargenetischer Methoden analysiert. Aufgrund der Seltenheit von molekularzytogenetischen Daten über den numerischen TET2-Status wurde das Patientenkollektiv mit Daten aus einer umfangreichen Literaturrecherche erweitert.
In der FISH-Diagnostik wurden mit einem Panel von 10 Sonden gearbeitet, mit Hilfe der Sanger-Sequenzierung erfolgte eine vollständige Sequenzierung der auffälligen Proben. Aus der Literatur wurden viele weitere Fälle mit detaillierten Daten zu Zytogenetik und vorhandener TET2-Mutation gefunden und eingeordnet. Anschließend erfolgte eine umfangreiche Analyse des gewonnenen Materials
Interpretation Jesus’ miracles
No full textThe author presents two directions of interpreting the Biblical relations of miracles which are represented by great figures of the past, namely St. Augustin and St. Thomas, as well as two directions which clearly marked their existence in our contemporary times. These are the interpretation based on depth psychology (Drewermann) and the interpretation of miracles as images and signs of hope (Theissen, Langner, Metz)
"Links gehen, rechts stehen!" : ein Feldexperiment zur Durchsetzung informeller Normen auf Rolltreppe
No full text“Walk Left, Stand Right!” A Field Experiment on the Enforcement of Informal Norms on Escalators
No full textEmpirische Untersuchungen zur Durchsetzung sozialer Normen im Alltag sind bisher rar. Die auf Münchner Rolltreppen geltende Norm „Links gehen, rechts stehen!“ bietet eine günstige Gelegenheit entsprechende Prozesse zu untersuchen. In einem Feldexperiment wurden Passanten beim Begehen der Rolltreppen bewusst behindert, um ihre Reaktion (Sanktionswahrscheinlichkeit, -stärke und -eintrittsdauer) zu beobachten. Dabei wurden Geschlecht und Kleidung der Normverletzenden systematisch variiert, um Effekte des sozialen Status auf die Normdurchsetzung zu erfassen. Im Ergebnis zeigt sich, dass beide Faktoren Einfluss haben: Elegante Kleidung reduziert die Sanktionswahrscheinlichkeit und -stärke und verzögert den Eintritt von Sanktionen; Frauen werden schneller sowie verbal häufiger und energischer sanktioniert, während Männer deutlichere physische Aufforderungen zu normkonformem Verhalten erhalten.Empirical research on the enforcement of norms in everyday life is rare. The norm “Walk left, stand right!” on escalators in Munich’s public transportation system offers a fortunate opportunity to study processes of norm enforcement. In a field experiment we restrained subjects from walking on the left side of the escalator and observed their reaction to this blockade (probability of sanctions, strength of sanctions, and length of time until a sanction occurs). Furthermore, we varied the clothing and gender of the persons blocking the escalator. Both treatments represent a dimension of social status, and both prove to be influential: An elegant outfit reduces the frequency and strength of sanctions and increases the delay before a sanction takes place; women are sanctioned within shorter time, verbally more frequently, and more strenuously, while men provoke more pronounced physical reactions
Archäologische Datenbanken als virtuelle Museen
No full textBecause archaeological databases contain unmanageably large numbers of records, users are still limited to targeted searches for specific information. Stimulating, creative browsing is rare at best. This has led to a search for new ways of selecting and composing data and new forms of representation, the goal being to introduce new ideas and research perspectives by linking monuments together in unconventional ways.
Unlike computer games, databases lack a narrative—hence the suggestion to reconstruct the biography of the buildings and objects in time, space and materiality as a means of increasing the user’s interest and attention; the results could be presented as a journey through time or a visit to a museum.; the results could be presented as a journey through time or a visit to a museum. In addition to faceted browsing, crowd science methods and different forms of visualization, there are also 4D animations and natural interaction in virtual spaces to be considered. As a case study, the author presents a current project whose goal is to publish 600 sculptures as 3D scans and to reconstruct historical exhibition contexts in the form of a virtual museum. The knowledge acquired in the process can serve as a basis for future approaches in which search queries in archaeological databases are visualized as fully virtual museums
The idea of injured people on site decontamination by use of resources of professional fire stations
No full textInformacja o przyznaniu Polsce tytułu gospodarza Mistrzostw Europy w 2012 roku wymusiła konieczność rewizji stanu przygotowania kraju pod kątem bezpieczeństwa jej uczestników. Jednym z obszarów, w których dostrzeżono konieczność wypracowania nowych rozwiązań jest gotowość służb i organów administracyjnych na reagowanie w sytuacjach zagrożeń CBRN. W ramach tego obszaru jednym z zagadnień wymagających gruntownego przeglądu była organizacja dekontaminacji osób poszkodowanych na miejscu zdarzenia. Przyjęło się bowiem za pewnik, że jedyna służbą odpowiedzialną i przygotowaną do prowadzenia tego typu działań jest PSP. Dogłębna analiza tematu wykazała jednak, że jest on na tyle złożony, iż jego realizacja przy udziale jednej tylko służby jest na chwilę obecną niemożliwa. W oparciu o doświadczenia innych krajów europejskich opracowano koncepcję, zgodnie z którą podzielono dekontaminację na dwa etapy: wstępną (ratowniczą) i ostateczną (medyczno - szpitalną). Mimo, że autor artykułu skupił się przede wszystkim na części ratowniczej, nie unika również dyskusji na temat kompleksowego rozwiązania całego zagadnienia. Proponowana dekontaminacja wstępna, której filozofia opiera się na usunięciu skażenia poprzez zdjęcie ubrania i przetarciu skóry odsłoniętych części ciała przy pomocy specjalnej rękawicy a następnie przebraniu osoby poszkodowanej w ubiór zastępczy jest idealnym rozwiązaniem pozwalającym zminimalizować skutki działania tejże substancji. W sytuacji gdy liczy się czas, oczekiwanie na mobilne zestawy do dekontaminacji ostatecznej, których przygotowanie zajmuje co najmniej kilkadziesiąt minut, jako jedynego rozwiązania organizacyjno technicznego, skutkowałoby znacznym opóźnieniem działań. Nie oznacza to jednak rezygnacji z tego rozwiązania w ogóle Autor proponuje jedynie by miejsce realizacji tego etapu dekontaminacji opierało się raczej na dogłębnej analizie efektywności tych działań a nie na bezmyślnej akceptacji wszystkich rozwiązań proponowanych przez producentów tego typu sprzętu.An award to Poland to be a host country for EURO 2012 made us more vigilant on the question, if we are prepared enough to provide adequate safety for all participants or not. Preparedness of the administrative powers and public services for response on CBRN incidents was considered as a first area where some new solutions were absolutely indispensable. Within this field one issue needed a complete review and this was an organization of injured people decontamination on site. It was acknowledged as it would be sure that the State Fire Service (SFS) is the only body responsible and ready in case of such emergencies to execute the decontamination. Deep analysis proved this matter so complicated that it started to be clear that is impossible for the moment to implement those operations by means of one public service - SFS. Basing on the experience of other European countries, the new doctrine was adopted, where decontamination has been divided into two phases: pre-decon/initial decon (rescue phase) and final decon (medical phase). Even though the author of this paper focused on the rescue phase, he also discusses the complex solutions of the whole problem. The initial decontamination, whose main philosophy is based on the elimination of the contaminant across 3 easy steps: taking off the clothes, washing a skin by means of special wet gloves and dressing a substitute outfit (pre decon kit) is a perfect solution that enables to minimize the effect of contaminant. In situation when the time is money, awaiting for mobile decontamination tents/containers, as the only technical and organizational remedy, might considerably delay a rescue phase. However it doesn.t mean a total rejection of this clue. Author only suggests that a decision about their location should be based on an effectiveness of such operations and not on a mindless acceptance of all solutions advised by producer of such equipment
The effect of the osmotically active compound concentration difference on the passive water and proton fluxes across a lipid bilayer
No full textThe molecular details of the passive water flux across the hydrophobic membrane interior are still a matter of debate. One of the postulated mechanisms is the spontaneous, water-filled pore opening, which facilitates the hydrophilic connection between aqueous phases separated by the membrane. In the paper, we provide experimental evidence showing that the spontaneous lipid pore formation correlates with the membrane mechanicshence, it depends on the composition of the lipid bilayer and the concentration of the osmotically active compound. Using liposomes as an experimental membrane model, osmotically induced water efflux was measured with the stopped-flow technique. Shapes of kinetic curves obtained at low osmotic pressure differences are interpreted in terms of two events: the lipid pore opening and water flow across the aqueous channel. The biological significance of the dependence of the lipid pore formation on the concentration difference of an osmotically active compound was illustrated by the demonstration that osmotically driven water flow can be accompanied by the dissipation of the pH gradient. The application of the Helfrich model to describe the probability of lipid pore opening was validated by demonstrating that the probability of pore opening correlates with the membrane bending rigidity. The correlation was determined by experimentally derived bending rigidity coefficients and probabilities of lipid pores opening
Evaluation of the \u27Alternative teaching internship\u27 at the TU Dresden
No full textDie zunehmenden Herausforderungen im Bildungssystem, insbesondere der Lehrkräftemangel in ländlichen Regionen, rücken die Praxisorientierung im Lehramtsstudium erneut in den Fokus. Vor diesem Hintergrund wurde an der Technischen Universität Dresden das Projekt „Alternatives Lehramtspraktikum“ entwickelt, das ein neuartiges, semesterbegleitendes Langzeitpraktikum erprobt. Die damit einhergehende Belastung und das Erleben des Praktikums durch die Studierenden wurden in einer explorativen, triangulativ angelegten Evaluation, die qualitative und quantitative Daten kombiniert, nachgegangen. Mithilfe von Fragebögen und Gruppengesprächen wurden Studierende zu ihren Belastungserfahrungen, ihren Kompetenzzuwächsen und der subjektiven Wahrnehmung des Praktikums befragt. Die Fragebögen wurden auch von Studierenden im regulären Blockpraktikum ausgefüllt und ermöglichen einen Gruppenvergleich. Zudem wurden schulische Akteure zur Wahrnehmung der Entwicklung der Studierenden befragt, wie auch zu den Herausforderungen und Gelingensbedingungen der Projektdurchführung. Die Ergebnisse verweisen sowohl auf Potenziale und Differenzen zwischen den Gruppen der Studierenden mit deutlichen Effektstärken wie auch auf Herausforderungen in der Projektdurchführung. Kritisch diskutiert wird insbesondere eine veränderte Theorie-Praxis-Relation. Die Ergebnisse bieten eine empirische Grundlage für die Weiterentwicklung und mögliche Verstetigung des Formats im Schuljahr 2025/26. (Autorin)The increasing challenges in the education system, in particular the shortage of teachers in rural regions, are once again focussing on the practical orientation of teacher training courses. Against this backdrop, the ‘Alternative Teaching Internship’ project was developed at the Technical University of Dresden, which is trialling a new type of long-term internship during the semester. The associated stress and the students\u27 experience of the internship were analysed in an explorative, triangulative evaluation combining qualitative and quantitative data. With the help of questionnaires and group discussions, students were asked about their experiences of stress, their competence gains and their subjective perception of the internship. The questionnaires were also completed by students on the regular block placement, enabling a group comparison. In addition, school stakeholders were asked about their perception of the students\u27 development, as well as the challenges and conditions for the success of the project implementation. The results indicate both potential and differences between the groups of students with clear effect sizes as well as challenges in project implementation. In particular, a changed theory-practice relationship is discussed critically. (Author
