Michaels verpasste genetische Diagnose
No full textLemke JR, Brandt C, Krawitz P. Michael's missed genetic diagnosis. Clinical Epileptology. 2024.Michael, after whom the Michael Foundation is named, had been diagnosed with neonatal-onset refractory epilepsy that challenged numerous epileptologists at the time. The seizures disappeared in adolescence but a neurodevelopmental disorder with intellectual disability remained. Still, to the best of our knowledge, genetic testing was never considered. Facial photographs of Michael potentially containing the clue to his diagnosis had been published multiple times in the past few decades and are known to a broad audience. Michael passed away in 2023 at the age of 80 years. A post-mortem analysis of Michael's photographs employing both the human eye and artificial intelligence as well as retrospective anamnesis of Michael's clinical symptoms revealed Williams-Beuren syndrome to be the by far most likely cause of Michael's disorder. This diagnosis has implications for affected individuals as well as for the family and relatives and therefore illustrates the importance of genetic testing of neurodevelopmental disorders even in older individuals. Bei Michael, nach dem die Stiftung Michael benannt ist, wurde im Neugeborenenalter eine therapierefrakt & auml;re Epilepsie diagnostiziert, welche zu jener Zeit f & uuml;r viele Epileptologen eine Herausforderung darstellte. Die Anf & auml;lle verschwanden zwar im Jugendalter, aber eine neurologische Entwicklungsst & ouml;rung mit geistiger Behinderung blieb bestehen. Dennoch wurde nach Wissen der Autoren nie eine genetische Untersuchung erwogen. Fotografien von Michaels Gesicht, die m & ouml;glicherweise einen Hinweis auf seine Diagnose enthalten, wurden in den letzten Jahrzehnten mehrfach ver & ouml;ffentlicht und sind einer breiten & Ouml;ffentlichkeit bekannt. Michael starb 2023 im Alter von 80 Jahren. Eine Post-mortem-Analyse von Fotografien von Michael, bei welcher sowohl das menschliche Auge als auch k & uuml;nstliche Intelligenz zum Einsatz kamen sowie eine retrospektive Anamnese in Bezug auf Michaels klinische Symptome ergaben, dass das Williams-Beuren-Syndrom die bei Weitem wahrscheinlichste Ursache f & uuml;r Michaels Erkrankung darstellt. Eine solche Diagnose hat Auswirkungen auf die Betroffenen sowie auf deren Familie und Angeh & ouml;rige und illustriert die Bedeutung genetischer Untersuchungen bei neurologischen Entwicklungsst & ouml;rungen, selbst bei & auml;lteren Personen

Why We Have No Theory of European Private Law Pluralism
No full textThe recent popularity of legal pluralism has now reached the area of European private law. In this paper Michaels scrutinizes the concepts of legal pluralism used by three of its most prominent proponents: Pierre Legrand, Jan Smits, and Thomas Wilhelmsson. He does not offer fully-fledged criticism of their theories (each of which are among the most fascinating and helpful in the European private law debate) but only address their use of ideas of legal pluralism, and the relation of these ideas with the legal pluralism debate. His analysis shows not only that these three use sharply different concepts of legal pluralism, but also, that none of these three concepts is in accordance with traditional definitions of pluralism. Further, it turns out that several points of criticism can be raised against their theories that stem from the legal pluralism debate. Michaels does not, here, take the second step of determining whether an actual concept of European private law pluralism can be established – and whether such a concept can withstand the criticism that has been voiced against the idea of legal pluralism
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
"Closing the R&D Gap, Evaluating the Sources of R&D Spending"
No full textBoth spending and tax policies have been implemented in the United States with the goal of stimulating private sector research and development (R&D). Karier questions whether current R&D policy, especially the research and experimentation tax credit, can contribute to closing the gap between nondefense expenditures on R&D in the United States and such expenditures in other countries, such as Japan and Germany. He also explores possible changes to our current R&D policy to make it more effective.
