A Sigh of Mystery: Karl Barth's Theology of the Virgin Birth
No full texttitle: A Sign of Mystery: Karl Barth's Theology of the Virgin Birth, author: Dustin Resch, location: MillsIn this study, I examine Karl Barth's doctrine of the virgin birth of Christ in relation to his discussions in the Church Dogmatics of Christology, pneumatology and interpretation of Scripture. I argue that the virgin birth of Jesus Christ is understood by Barth as a fitting sign to expresses the form of the dialectic of God's "No" to sin and "Yes" to humanity in his free act of revelation and reconciliation. As such, the doctrine of the virgin birth functions for Barth as a paradigm through which to understand the fashion of God's work upon human beings and the suitable posture of a human being before God. I demonstrate this conviction by providing an overview of select interpreters of the doctrine of the virgin birth in the western Christian tradition in order to set Barth's contribution in its theological context. I then provide an exposition of the methodological and exegetical features of Barth's development of the doctrine of the virgin birth from his first professorship up to the introductory volume of the CD. Next, I examine how Barth's doctrine of the virgin birth fit with his broader Christology and pneumatology as represented in the CD. Finally, I provide an exposition of Barth's treatment of the figure of Mary as a capstone to the themes previously outlined. The thesis concludes with a series of probing questions about the implications of Barth's doctrine of the virgin birth for his broader theology.ThesisDoctor of Philosophy (PhD
Origami based Mechanical Metamaterials
No full textWe describe mechanical metamaterials created by folding flat sheets in the tradition of origami, the art of paper folding, and study them in terms of their basic geometric and stiffness properties, as well as load bearing capability. A periodic Miura-ori pattern and a non-periodic Ron Resch pattern were studied. Unexceptional coexistence of positive and negative Poisson's ratio was reported for Miura-ori pattern, which are consistent with the interesting shear behavior and infinity bulk modulus of the same pattern. Unusually strong load bearing capability of the Ron Resch pattern was found and attributed to the unique way of folding. This work paves the way to the study of intriguing properties of origami structures as mechanical metamaterials.Includes Supplementary Informatio
Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of the Incidence of Rupture, Repair, and Death of Small and Large Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms under Surveillance
No full textBackground: The ultimate goal of treating patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) is to repair them when the risk of rupture exceeds the risk of repair. Small AAAs demonstrate a low rupture risk, and recently, large AAAs just above the threshold (5.5–6.0 cm) seem to be at low risk of rupture as well. The present review aims to investigate the outcomes of AAAs under surveillance through a comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis. Methods: PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Central Register were searched (22 March 2022; PROSPERO; #CRD42022316094). The Cochrane and PRISMA statements were respected. Blinded systematic screening of the literature, data extraction, and quality assessment were performed by two authors. Conflicts were resolved by a third author. The meta-analysis of prevalence provided estimated proportions, 95% confidence intervals, and measures of heterogeneity (I2). Based on I2, the heterogeneity might be negligible (0–40%), moderate (30–60%), substantial (50–90%), and considerable (75–100%). The primary outcome was the incidence of AAA rupture. Secondary outcomes included the rate of small AAAs reaching the threshold for repair, aortic-related mortality, and all-cause mortality. Results: Fourteen publications (25,040 patients) were included in the analysis. The outcome rates of the small AAA group (<55 mm) were 0.3% (95% CI 0.0–1.0; I2 = 76.4%) of rupture, 0.6% (95% CI 0.0–1.9; I2 = 87.2%) of aortic-related mortality, and 9.6% (95% CI 2.2–21.1; I2 = 99.0%) of all-cause mortality. During surveillance, 21.4% (95% CI 9.0–37.2; I2 = 99.0%) of the initially small AAAs reached the threshold for repair. The outcome rates of the large AAA group (>55 mm) were 25.7% (95% CI 18.0–34.3; I2 = 72.0%) of rupture, 22.1% (95% CI 16.5–28.3; I2 = 25.0%) of aortic-related mortality, and 61.8% (95% CI 47.0–75.6; I2 = 89.1%) of all-cause mortality. The sensitivity analysis demonstrated a higher rupture rate in studies including <662 subjects, patients with a mean age > 72 years, >17% of female patients, and >44% of current smokers. Conclusion: The rarity of rupture and aortic-related mortality in small AAAs supports the current conservative management of small AAAs. Surveillance seems indicated, as one-fifth reached the threshold for repair. Large aneurysms had a high incidence of rupture and aortic-related mortality. However, these data seem biased by the sparse and heterogeneous literature overrepresented by patients unfit for surgery. Specific rupture risk stratified by age, gender, and fit-for-surgery patients with large AAAs needs to be further investigated
The selective addition of water
No full textWater is omnipresent and essential. Yet at the same time it is a rather unreactive molecule. The direct addition of water to C[double bond, length as m-dash]C double bonds is therefore a challenge not answered convincingly. In this perspective we critically evaluate the selectivity and the applicability of the different catalytic approaches for water addition reactions: homogeneous, heterogeneous and bio-catalytic. Here we would like to discuss how to speed up water addition and even make it selective.BiotechnologyApplied Science
The role of biocatalysis in the asymmetric synthesis of alkaloids
No full textAlkaloids are not only one of the most intensively studied classes of natural products, their wide spectrum of pharmacological activities also makes them indispensable drug ingredients in both traditional and modern medicine. Among the methods for their production, biotechnological approaches are gaining importance, and biocatalysis has emerged as an essential tool in this context. A number of chemo-enzymatic strategies for alkaloid synthesis have been developed over the years, in which the biotransformations nowadays take an increasingly ‘central’ role. This review summarises different applications of biocatalysis in the asymmetric synthesis of alkaloids and discusses how recent developments and novel enzymes render innovative and efficient chemo-enzymatic production routes possible.BiotechnologyApplied Science

More than terminal care : palliative geriatrics (implementation of six palliative care beds in a long-term care facility)
No full textDie vorliegende Masterarbeit beschäftigt sich mit dem Tod, der Trauer und dem Sterben. Genau diese Themen werden nach wie vor in unserer Gesellschaft gemieden oder verschwiegen. Für Führungskräfte, insbesondere in Langzeitpflegeeinrichtungen, ist der Tod, die Trauer und das Sterben, allgegenwärtig. Insbesondere geht es um die Herausforderungen bei der Implementierung von sechs Betten in einer Langzeitpflegeeinrichtung, für palliative Bewohner:innen. Die Führungskraft muss gemeinsam mit der Heimleitung und der Geschäftsführung, aber auch mit dem gesamten Team der Pflegepersonen und Ärzt:innen, die wirtschaftlichen und personellen Ressourcen meistern. Die größte Problematik in der Palliativen Geriatrie ist, dass es zu wenig Plätze für ältere Menschen mit Palliativem Hintergrund in Langzeitpflegeeinrichtungen gibt. Seit einigen Jahren gibt es in der Steiermark ein Gütesiegel des Dachverbandes Hospiz Österreich, welches Langzeitpflegeeinrichtungen die Möglichkeit bietet, ihr Haus zu zertifizieren. Nachdem die Problematik, die Fragestellung und die Zielsetzung von der Verfasserin definiert wurden, begann die Literaturrecherche. Sie erfolgte in der Suchmaschine Pubmed, mit folgenden Schlüsselwörtern: nurse*, Palliative Geriatrie, Österreich, Schweiz, Langzeitpflegeeinrichtungen, Implementierung. Nachdem die Studienrecherche abgeschlossen war, konzentrierte sich die Verfasserin auf Fachbücher und Fachzeitschriften zu dieser Thematik. Die Implementierung wird im letzten Kapitel der Masterarbeit beschrieben. Hierfür begann die Verfasserin mit der Erstellung eines Konzeptes. Um die Erstellung dessen leichter zu gestalten, fand die Verfasserin durch Internetrecherchen eine Langzeitpflegeeinrichtung in der Schweiz, welche ein Implementierungsprojekt über einen zweijährigen Zeitraum erstellte. Auch in der Steiermark wurde eine Langzeitpflegeeinrichtung besucht, welche bereits das Gütesiegel des Dachverbandes Hospiz Österreich besitzt. Ein Ergebnis der Implementierung konnte nicht zur Gänze dargestellt werden, da das Projekt noch läuft. Es gestaltet sich aufgrund der personellen Situation derzeit sehr schwierig. Die Verfasserin hofft, dass die Implementierung weiterlaufen kann und nicht zur Gänze eingefroren werden muss.This master's thesis deals with death, mourning and dying. These are precisely the topics that are still avoided or kept quiet in our society. For managers, especially in long-term care facilities, death, mourning and dying, are omnipresent. In particular, it is about the challenges of implementing six beds in a long-term care facility, for palliative residents:in. The manager has to master the economic and human resources together with the head of the home and the management, but also with the entire team of caregivers and physicians. The biggest problem in palliative geriatrics is that there are too few places for older people with a palliative background in long-term care facilities. Since a few years there is a seal of approval of the umbrella organization Hospice Austria in Styria, which offers long-term care facilities the possibility to certify their house. After the author defined the problem, the research question and the objective, the literature research began. It was done in the search engine Pubmed, with the following keywords: nurse*, palliative geriatrics, Austria, Switzerland, long-term care facilities, implementation. After the study search was completed, the author focused on textbooks and journals on this topic. The implementation is described in the last chapter of the master thesis. For this purpose, the author began with the creation of a concept. In order to make the creation of the concept easier, the author found a long-term care facility in Switzerland through internet research, which created an implementation project over a two-year period. Also in Styria a long-term care facility was visited, which already has the seal of approval of the umbrella organization Hospice Austria. A result of the implementation could not be presented completely, because the project is still running. It is currently very difficult due to the personnel situation. The author hopes that the implementation can continue and does not have to be frozen completely.Elisabeth ReschMasterarbeit Universität Graz 2023Zusammenfassung auf Deutsch und Englisc
