Fehlentscheidung aus dem Bauch heraus - Der Brexit als Lehrstück über die die Tücken von Volksentscheiden - Campusreport am 01.01.2019
No full textFür die Briten war das abgelaufene Jahr 2018 überschattet durch den Streit um den Brexit. Die anhaltende Unsicherheit über die Zukunft Großbritanniens kostet Arbeitsplätze, Investitionen werden aufgeschoben, das britische Pfund ist unter Druck. Inzwischen mehren sich Stimmen, die ein zweites Referendum über den Austritt des Landes aus der EU fordern. Aber das Land ist nach wie vor zutiefst gespalten in erbitterte EU-Gegner und verärgerte EU-Anhänger. Für den Wirtschaftswissenschaftler Clemens Puppe vom Karlsruher Institut für Technologie ist das Gezerre um den Brexit ein Lehrstück über die Tücken von Volksentscheiden
Clemens Setz — an Author of Popular Literature?
No full textThis essay show the references to the so-called Popliteratur in the work of the Austrian writer Clemens Setz. Although Setz does not fit into the assumed periodization of this movement, his texts seem to have an aesthetic of pop-literature that corresponds to both the early and later approaches of the trend. The creative handling of archives of folk culture, experimental writing and the media networks have a pop-literature effect. Many texts are reminiscent of language-critical, experimental cut-up texts by the Beat Generation authors. The thematic repertoire also shows characteristic pop literary writing: There is no processing of social, political problems and the Nazi past, but, for example, the processing of generational conflicts, the problems of growing up and sexuality. The media staging of the author intended by the publisher also shows well-recognized mechanisms of pop culture

Clinical results of absorbable plates for displaced metacarpal fractures
No full textPurpose: To present the clinical results of a study of unstable metacarpal fractures treated with absorbable plates. Methods: Between July 2004 and June 2006, 12 patients (14 fractures) who presented with displaced, unstable, metacarpal fractures had open reduction and internal fixation. The overall clinical follow-up results and radiographic controls at 6, 12, and 26 weeks after surgery are reported. The clinical outcome was assessed by the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand score and the visual analogue pain scale. Results: The involved fingers showed an average final total active motion of 234 degrees (range, 220 degrees-265 degrees). No deformity of rotation >50 degrees was observed in any patient in the clinical follow-up evaluation. One patient had a loss of reduction with a palmar angle of the metacarpal axis of 20 degrees in the sagittal plane. A second patient with secondary loss of reduction required surgical revision, at which time internal fixation was performed by using a titanium plate. Complications included keloid formation and prolonged soft-tissue swelling for more than 6 weeks in 3 patients. No wound margin necrosis, infection, pseudarthrosis, sinus formation, or osteolysis was observed. Bone consolidation was achieved reliably within 6 weeks both clinically and radiologically. The Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand score results 6 weeks after surgery were an average of 30 points compared with 13 after 12 weeks and 3 points after 26 weeks. The visual pain scale showed mean values of 18 after 6 weeks, 2 after 12 weeks, and 0.2 after 26 weeks. Conclusions: Absorbable plates are suitable for use in hand surgery and allow early range of motion in combination with an additional orthosis of the hand (as described) for 3 weeks. In the early and medium-term postoperative course, no osteolysis or sterile sinus formation was observed. Metal plates are still the gold standard; however, surgical implants made of amorphous copolymer of L-lactide and glycolic acid in combination with an orthosis constitute a useful and reliable means of metacarpal fracture treatment
