No full textTRANSENS (Transdisziplinäre Forschung zur Entsorgung radioaktiver Abfälle in Deutschland): WRINT: Wer redet ist nicht tot
No full textTRANSENS ist nicht nur ein interdisziplinäres Forschungprojekt zur Endlagersuche, sondern “die interessierte Öffentlichkeit und andere außerakademische Akteure werden planvoll in Forschungskontexte … zu … für die Entsorgung hoch radioaktiver Abfälle relevanten Themenkorridoren eingebunden”. Mit anderen Worten: Die Wissenschaftler:innen forschen nicht einfach nur wie gewohnt, sondern müssen sich regelmäßig auch Fragen und Anmerkungen einer Arbeitsgruppe stellen, die nichts mit der Forschung zu tun hat, letztlich aber diejenigen Menschen repräsentiert, die von einem Endlager betroffen sein würden. Für diese Sendung habe ich aus Forschungsperspektive gesprochen mit den Forschern Pius Krütli (ETH Zürich), Roman Seidl (Uni Hannover, ETH Zürich), Arne Othmer (TU Clausthal) und Volker Mintzlaff (TU Braunschweig), und aus der Perspektive der Arbeitsgruppe Bevölkerung erzählen Henrike Neumann und Jennifer Stracke
Rapid quantitation of proinflammatory and chemoattractant cytokine expression in small tissue samples and monocyte-derived dendritic cells: validation of a new real-time RT-PCR technology
No full textThe analysis of cytokine profiles plays a central part in the characterization of disease-related inflammatory pathways and the identification of functional properties of immune cell subpopulations. Because tissue biopsy samples are too small to allow the detection of cytokine protein, the detection of mRNA by RT-PCR analysis is often used to investigate the cytokine milieu in inflammatory lesions. RT-PCR itself is a qualitative method, indicating the presence or absence of specific transcripts. With the use of internal or external standards it may also serve as a quantitative method. The most widely accepted method is quantitative competitive RT-PCR, based on internal shortened standards. Recently, online real-time PCR has been introduced (LightCycler(R)), which allows quantitation in less than 30 min. Here, we have tested its use for the analysis of cytokine gene expression in different experimental in vitro and ex vivo settings. First, we compared quantitative competitive RT-PCR with real-time RT-PCR in the quantitation of transcription levels of the CD4(+) cell-specific chemoattractant Interleukin-16 during the maturation of monocyte-derived dendritic cells, and found a good correlation between both methods. Second, differences in the amounts of IL-16 mRNA in synovial tissue from patients with rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis as assessed by real-time RT-PCR paralleled differences in the level of IL-16 protein in the synovial fluid. Finally, we employed real-time RT-PCR to study the cutaneous expression of several cytokines during experimental immunomodulatory therapy of psoriasis by Interleukin-10, and demonstrate that the technique is suitable for pharmacogenomic monitoring. In summary, real-time RT-PCR is a sensitive and rapid tool for quantifying mRNA expression even with small quantities of tissue. The results obtained do not differ from those generated by quantitative competitive RT-PCR. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved

Paradoxes and management approaches of competing for work in creative professional service firms
No full textDespite their business relevance, creative professional service firms are under-researched, in particular with regard to how they compete for work. Competing for work is key to survival, but also extremely challenging due to the complexity of the services offered. In this paper we use a paradox framework to investigate the opposing demands that creative professional service firms experience when competing for work. Based on a set of semi-structured interviews in the context of architectural competitions, we show that creative professional service firms face two interwoven paradoxes which relate to the strategic intent (why to compete) and the design intent (what to propose) of client propositions. We describe these paradoxes and explain how organizations manage and cope with them through both synthesis and separation management approaches. Contributions of this study can be found in theorizing paradoxes of competing for work from the professional service provider's perspective, and in fostering the firms’ paradoxical mind-set, which facilitates the acceptance and resolution of complexity and different competing demands.Accepted Author ManuscriptPublic Commissionin

(Venezuela: Provinz Carabobo). <i>Neolindus rudiculus</i> Herman, 1991 wird erstmals seit der Originalbeschreibung nachgewiesen.</p> <p>Introduction</p> <p> The subtribe Cylindroxystina is one of the few Neotropical paederine taxa that have been subject to modern revisions. According to Herman (1991), it comprises two genera and 47 species, <i>Cylindroxystus</i> Bierig, 1943 (14 species) and <i>Neolindus</i> Scheerpeltz, 1933 (33 species). Four additional species of <i>Neolindus</i> were described recently by Asenjo (2011) and Irmler (2011).</p> <p> Both <i>Cylindroxystus</i> and <i>Neolindus</i> have been collected remarkably rarely and in small numbers; numerous species are represented only by single specimens. The revision by Herman (1991) is based on a total of merely 37 (<i>Cylindroxystus</i>) and 79 specimens (<i>Neolindus</i>), respectively. Most of them were found in leaf litter and at lower elevations, but the reproduction habitat is essentially unknown.</p> <p> In material of Staphylinidae collected by Volker Brachat (Geretsried) in Venezuela in 2005 and 2007 and by Günter Riedel (München) in Peru in October 2010, five specimens of <i>Neolindus</i> were discovered, a female of unknown identity (probably undescribed), a female of <i>N. rudiculus</i> Herman, 1991, and three specimens (two males and one female) belonging to two undescribed species from Peru and Venezuela.</p> <p>Material and methods</p> <p>The material treated in this study is deposited in the author´s collection.</p> <p>The morphological studies were conducted using a Stemi SV 11 microscope (Zeiss Germany) and a Jenalab compound microscope (Carl Zeiss Jena). A digital camera (Nikon Coolpix 995) was used for the photographs.</p> <p>Head length was measured from the anterior margin of the frons to the posterior margin of the head, elytral length at the suture from the apex of the scutellum to the posterior margin of the elytra, total length from the anterior margin of the mandibles to the apex of the abdomen, the length of the forebody from the anterior margin of the mandibles to the posterior margin of the elytra, aedeagal length from the apex of the internal structures or from the apex of the dorsal plate (whichever is the longest) to the base of the capsule. The parameral side of the aedeagus (i.e., the side where the sperm duct enters) is referred to as the ventral, the opposite side as the dorsal aspect.</p>Published as part of <i>Volker, A., 2012, Two new species of Neolindus from Peru and Venezuela (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Paederinae: Cylindroxystina), pp. 291-297 in Beiträge Zur Entomologie = Contributions to Entomology 62 (6)</i> on pages 291-292, DOI: 10.21248/contrib.entomol.62.2.291-297, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/4812846">http://zenodo.org/record/4812846</a>
