Review: Karin Reiber (2005). Organisation im Spiegel der Regula Benedicti
No full textSeit 1500 Jahren wird das klösterliche Leben der Benediktiner durch Regeln aus der Zeit der ersten Klostergründung bestimmt. Dies lässt auf eine geschichtliche Umbrüche und Veränderungen überdauernde Organisationsstruktur schließen. Ausgehend von einem neuen Verständnis der Organisationsentwicklung als Organisationslernen sucht Karin REIBER durch eine hermeneutische Textanalyse der Regula Benedicti aus dem 6. Jahrhundert nach Hinweisen für Organisationsgestaltung und Organisationslernen. In einer theoretischen Rahmenlegung entwickelt REIBER drei Dimensionen der Organisationsgestaltung und drei Stufen organisationalen Lernens. In einer historischen Rekonstruktion analysiert die Autorin den Text der Regula Benedicti. In einer zweiten Phase rezipiert und interpretiert REIBER die Ergebnisse der hermeneutischen Analyse entlang eines doppelt-dreischrittigen Theoriemodells. Sie arbeitet interessante Aspekte für das Organisationslernen heraus, die individuelles Lernen und organisationales Lernen zu Gunsten des Organisationsmitgliedes in Beziehung setzen, wobei die Rücksichtnahme auf Individualität Teil des Führungskonzeptes ist und als soziales Beziehungsgefüge neben der formalen Struktur eine informelle Organisationsstruktur herausbildet. Die aufschlussreiche Arbeit führt zu einem integrativen Konzept organisationalen Lernens, das Tradition als konstitutives Merkmal einer Organisation um die Innovationsfähigkeit erweitert und so durch Kontinuität und Aktualität den Bestand moderner Organisation in die Zukunft sichern kann.For 1500 years, the monastic life of the Benedictines has been defined by rules dating from the time of the first foundation of the order, suggesting an organizational structure that has outlasted historical upheavals and changes. Starting from a new understanding of organisational development as organisational learning, Karin REIBER has looked for clues to organisational formation and learning through a hermeneutic textual analysis of the Regula Benedicti of the 6th Century. Within a theoretical framework, REIBER develops three dimensions of organisational formation and three stages of organisational learning. In a historical reconstruction, the author analyses the text of the Regula Benedicti. In a second section, REIBER adapts and interprets the results of the hermeneutic analysis through a double three-stage theoretical model. She works out interesting aspects for organisational learning, which relate individual learning to organisational learning in favour of members of the organisation, for which consideration for individuality forms a part of the leadership concept and as a framework for social relationships, establishing an informal organisational structure beside the formal one. This illuminating work leads to an integrated concept of organisational learning, which extends the notion of tradition as a characteristic feature of an innovative organisation and which, through continuity and topicality, can hence guarantee the continued existence of modern organisations in the future.Durante 1500 años, la vida monástica de los Benedictinos se definió mediante reglas que se establecieron en la fundación de la orden, lo que ha dado paso a una estructura organizacional que ha superado cambios y sacudidas.

No full textTowards Quantitative Spatio-Temporal Gene Expression Measurements in Mice
No full textIn this project we tried to answer the question whether it is possible to obtain in vivo quantitative spatiotemporal gene expression data of mice, by making use of the GFP protein and Biofluorence Imaging. The research was driven by a more specific question, being whether it is possible to detect if metastasis to the bone has occurred in cancer progression studies, using GFP cancel cell lines, i.e cancer cells that produce Green Fluorescent Proteins (GFP), at a continuous known rate. We tried to give generic answers by researching the following two subquestions. 1.) Is it possible to register a 3D mouse atlas to 2D Bioluminescense or Fluorescence photographs, based on only those photographs? 2.) Can we make qualitative statements on the location of gene expression, after registration with an atlas? The first question is covered in a paper called: 'Atlas Driven Registration of 3D Voxel Data to Multi-view Photographs Based on 3D Distance Maps.' It explains a method to register a 3D piecewise deformable mouse atlas to 2 or more photographic sideviews of a mouse. Based on a distance map that we generated from multiple backprojections of the sideview, we were able to construct an energy function that resembled a 'goodness of fit' of the registration. Comparisons were made with a gold standard and we obtained good results with our method. The second question is covered in a paper called: 'Testing for Spatial Gene Enrichment in C. Elegans Using Chronograms and a 1D Worm Atlas'. In this paper we did not focus on the registration process, because this was a straightforward procedure. With an atlas registered to an expression dataset, we applied different statistical tests to answer the question that given the atlas and the expression profile, the observed expression shows enrichment in a selected organ or not. In this paper we show that we are able to filter highly enriched signals out of our complete dataset. We further discuss the added value of our atlas since it is difficult to validate the obtained results of our tests.Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Scienc
Automated determination of optimal angiographic viewing angles for coronary artery bifurcations from CTA data
No full textFor optimal diagnosis and treatment of lesions at coronary artery bifurcations using x-ray angiography, it is of utmost importance to determine proper angiographic viewing angles. Due to the increasing use of CTA as a first line diagnostic tool, 3D CTA data is more frequently available before x-ray angiographic procedures take place. Motivated by this, we propose to use available CTA data for the determination of patient specific optimal x-ray viewing angles. A semi-automatic iterative region growing scheme is developed for the segmentation of the coronary arterial tree. From the segmented arterial tree, a complete hierarchical surface and centerline representation, including bifurcation points, is automatically obtained. The optimal viewing angle for a selected bifurcation is determined as the view rendering the least amount of foreshortening and vessel overlap. For 83 bifurcation areas, viewing angles were automatically determined. The sensitivity of the method to patient positioning in the x-ray system was also studied. Next, the automatically determined angels were both quantitatively and qualitatively compared with angles determined by two experts. The method was found not to be sensitive to the positioning of the patient in the angiographic x-ray system. In 95% of the cases our method produced a clinically usable view (mean score of 8.4 out of 10) as compared to 98% for the experts (mean score of 8.7). Our method produced angiographic views with significantly less foreshortening (mean difference of 10 percentage points) than the angiographic views set by the experts.Quantitative Imaging GroupApplied Science
Gait Variability and Kinematic Alterations in People with Diabetes Mellitus and Peripheral Neuropathy
No full textBackground: People with diabetes and peripheral neuropathy have been reported to show alterations in lower limb joint function compared to healthy non-diabetic people. Specifically the maximum angular movement available at certain joints can be reduced during static, non-weight bearing tasks. Limited joint range of motion has the potential to compromise balance and stability thereby increasing the risk of falling. It is unclear whether a reduction in the extent of movement available at the joints is reflected by a reduction in the amount of angular movement actually utilised during a functional task such as stair negotiation. The aim of this study was to determine if people with diabetes show reduced dynamic range of motion at the ankle, knee and hip joints during stair ascent and descent in comparison to controls. Falls risk during stair negotiation was calculated by measuring the degree of variability in dynamic joint range of motion. Methods: Data were generated from three groups: subjects with diabetes and peripheral neuropathy (DPN), diabetes without peripheral neuropathy (DM), and healthy controls (Ctl). The study was conducted in a gait laboratory using motion capture and related 3D software for analysis. Joint range of motion for the ankle, knee, and hip were captured during level walking, stair ascent, and descent. A seven step, bespoke staircase was fabricated for this purpose. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Newman-Keuls tests were used to analyse the data. Results: Significantly reduced ankle range of motion, in the sagittal plane, was observed in the DPN group during stair ascent when compared to the controls. For stair descent, the DPN group demonstrated a significant increase in knee and hip ROM in the frontal plane, and also hip ROM in the transverse plane. No significant differences between the groups were identified for joint variability. Conclusions: People with DPN demonstrate alterations in dynamic range of motion at the lower limb joints during stair ascent and descent. The degree of angular movement utilised for both stair tasks was decreased at the ankle joint and this has the potential to undermine balance and stability. In contrast, angular movement at the knee and hip joints was increased in the frontal and transverse planes. This may compensate for impaired balance and stability by increasing the base of support to maintain balance and assist in foot clearance and placement. The specific combination of increased angular movement at the knee and hip may represent a compensatory stair gait strategy in response to reduced angular movement at the ankle joint
