Geographic profiling in Nazi Berlin: fact and fiction
No full textGeographic profiling uses the locations of connected crime sites to make inferences about the probable location of the offender’s ‘anchor point’ (usually a home, but sometimes a workplace). We show how the basic ideas of the method were used in a Gestapo investigation that formed the basis of a classic German novel about domestic resistance to the Nazis during the Second World War. We use modern techniques to re-analyse this case, and show that these successfully locate the Berlin home address of Otto and Elise Hampel, who had distributed hundreds of anti-Nazi postcards, after analysing just 34 of the 214 incidents that took place before their arrest. Our study provides the first empirical evidence to support the suggestion that analysis of minor terrorism-related acts such as graffiti and theft could be used to help locate terrorist bases before more serious incidents occur

Tedizolid (TR-701): A new oxazolidinone with enhanced potency
No full textIntroduction: Tedizolid phosphate (TR-701) is a new oxazolidinone prodrug that is transformed in the serum into the active drug tedizolid (TR-700). Tedizolid acts by inhibiting protein synthesis and has broad activity against Gram-positive pathogens, including strains that are resistant to linezolid. Areas covered: This review summarizes the currently available data on this new antimicrobial agent. In vitro activity, pharmacokinetics-pharmacodynamics, clinical efficacy and safety are all addressed. Expert opinion: Tedizolid will provide a useful addition to the antimicrobial armamentarium, particularly in complicated skin and skin structure infections, due to its high oral bioavailability and once-daily dosing. The results of future studies will serve to better position tedizolid among the newly approved agents for infections caused by Gram-positive organisms. © 2012 Informa UK, Ltd.[Anonymous], 2001, AM J INFECT CONTROL, V29, P404; Betriu C, 2010, ANTIMICROB AGENTS CH, V54, P2212, DOI 10.1128-AAC.01653-09; Bien P., 2010, 50 INT C ANT AG CHEM; Brown SD, 2010, ANTIMICROB AGENTS CH, V54, P2063, DOI 10.1128-AAC.01569-09; Chang S, 2003, NEW ENGL J MED, V348, P1342, DOI 10.1056-NEJMoa025025; Colak D, 2002, J ANTIMICROB CHEMOTH, V50, P397, DOI 10.1093-jac-dkf134; Colca JR, 2003, J BIOL CHEM, V278, P21972, DOI 10.1074-jbc.M302109200; Dreskin H, 2011, 51 INT C ANT AG CHEM; Falagas ME, 2006, J ANTIMICROB CHEMOTH, V58, P273, DOI 10.1093-jac-dkl219; Fluit AC, 2001, J CLIN MICROBIOL, V39, P3727, DOI 10.1128-JCM.39.10.3727-3732.2001; Fridkin SK, 2005, NEW ENGL J MED, V352, P1436, DOI 10.1056-NEJMoa043252; Gould IM, 2008, INT J ANTIMICROB AG, V31, P1, DOI 10.1016-S0924-8579(08)70002-5; Hiramatsu K, 1997, J ANTIMICROB CHEMOTH, V40, P135, DOI 10.1093-jac-40.1.135; Housman ST, 2011, 51 INT C ANT AG CHEM; Hsueh PR, 1999, INFECT CONT HOSP EP, V20, P828, DOI 10.1086-501592; Im WB, 2011, EUR J MED CHEM, V46, P1027, DOI 10.1016-j.ejmech.2011.01.014; Jacobson LM, 2009, PEDIATR INFECT DIS J, V28, P445, DOI 10.1097-INF.0b013e3181927891; Jones RN, 2009, J ANTIMICROB CHEMOTH, V63, P716, DOI 10.1093-jac-dkp021; Keel RA, 2011, 51 INT C ANT AG CHEM; Kirst HA, 1998, ANTIMICROB AGENTS CH, V42, P1303; Leach KL, 2007, MOL CELL, V26, P393, DOI 10.1016-j.molcel.2007.04.005; LECLERCQ R, 1988, NEW ENGL J MED, V319, P157, DOI 10.1056-NEJM198807213190307; Lemaire S, 2009, J ANTIMICROB CHEMOTH, V64, P1035, DOI 10.1093-jac-dkp267; Livermore DM, 2009, J ANTIMICROB CHEMOTH, V63, P713, DOI 10.1093-jac-dkp002; Locke JB, 2009, ANTIMICROB AGENTS CH, V53, P5265, DOI 10.1128-AAC.00871-09; Louie A, 2011, ANTIMICROB AGENTS CH, V55, P3453, DOI 10.1128-AAC.01565-10; Mangili A, 2005, CLIN INFECT DIS, V40, P1058, DOI 10.1086-428616; Moellering RC, 2003, ANN INTERN MED, V138, P135; Moise PA, 2000, INT J ANTIMICROB AG, V16, pS31; Munoz KA, 2011, 21 EUR C CLIN MICR I; Prasad JV, 2007, CURR OPIN MICROBIOL, V10, P454, DOI 10.1016-j.mib.2007.08.001; Prokocimer P, 2008, 48 INT C ANT AG CHEM; Prokocimer P, 2011, ANTIMICROB AGENTS CH, V55, P583, DOI 10.1128-AAC.00076-10; Ramsey AM, 2009, INFECT CONT HOSP EP, V30, P184, DOI 10.1086-593956; Rodriguez-Avial I, 2012, J ANTIMICROB CHEMOTH, V67, P167, DOI 10.1093-jac-dkr403; Sakoulas G, 2004, J CLIN MICROBIOL, V42, P2398, DOI 10.1128-JCM.42.6.2398-2402.2004; Garcia MS, 2010, JAMA-J AM MED ASSOC, V303, P2260, DOI 10.1001-jama.2010.757; Schaadt R, 2009, ANTIMICROB AGENTS CH, V53, P3236, DOI 10.1128-AAC.00228-09; Shaw KJ, 2008, ANTIMICROB AGENTS CH, V52, P4442, DOI 10.1128-AAC.00859-08; SMALL PM, 1990, ANTIMICROB AGENTS CH, V34, P1227; UTTLEY AHC, 1989, EPIDEMIOL INFECT, V103, P173; van Hal SJ, 2011, EUR J CLIN MICROBIOL, V30, P603, DOI 10.1007-s10096-010-1128-3; VOSS A, 1994, EUR J CLIN MICROBIOL, V13, P50, DOI 10.1007-BF02026127; Woods CW, 2004, CLIN INFECT DIS, V38, P1188, DOI 10.1086-383027; Yamaki J, 2011, ANTIMICROB AGENTS CH, V55, P4432, DOI 10.1128-AAC.00122-11; Yum JH, 2010, ANTIMICROB AGENTS CH, V54, P5381, DOI 10.1128-AAC.00728-10; Zetola N, 2005, LANCET INFECT DIS, V5, P275, DOI 10.1016-S1473-3099(05)70112-214171
Franklin D. Roosevelt: The Media, His Physical Image, and Teaching Implications
No full textThis thesis consists of three distinct chapters, each with a focus on the general theme of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the media, and his image. Chapter I is a historiography that traces the scholarly discussion of Roosevelt and the media from the late 1970s until the early 21st century. It argues that there was a shift in research that occurred in the 1980s. Where scholarship originally focused intently on how FDR used the media to run the country, it transitioned towards an exclusive concentration on how he used the media to minimize the public’s perception of his disability. Chapter II consists of primary research with two objectives. First, it exposes how FDR projected an image of health, activity, and masculinity in order to inspire confidence in his ability to lead during his time period; and second, it compares that public image to the one that has evolved over the past 68 years since his death—particularly in relation to his disability. The author analyzes a combination of memorials, museums, and historic sites that focus on FDR to expose society’s contemporary public image of Franklin Roosevelt. The author discovers that FDR’s contemporary public image is a complex one, filled with some sites that are reluctant to embrace his paralysis and some that do so passionately; nevertheless, it appears that a general trend is developing toward accepting the role of Roosevelt’s disability in his public image. Chapter III focuses on making the information in Chapter I and II applicable to teaching. It identifies four evidence-based teaching strategies and discusses them in relation to six destinations. Each of these destinations will facilitate lessons and fieldtrips targeted at fostering deeper level thinking while studying Franklin Roosevelt’s use of the media and the manipulation of his image. Chapter III concludes with a list of material resources that would supplement these destinations including films, digital resources, CDs, and primary and secondary literature.SUNY BrockportEducation and Human DevelopmentMaster of Science in Education (MSEd)Education and Human Development Master's These
Measuring the Meltdown: Drivers of Global Amphibian Extinction and Decline
No full text© 2008 Sodhi et al. This is an open-access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original author and source are credited.Habitat loss, climate change, over-exploitation, disease and other factors have been hypothesised in the global decline of amphibian biodiversity. However, the relative importance of and synergies among different drivers are still poorly understood. We present the largest global analysis of roughly 45% of known amphibians (2,583 species) to quantify the influences of life history, climate, human density and habitat loss on declines and extinction risk. Multi-model Bayesian inference reveals that large amphibian species with small geographic range and pronounced seasonality in temperature and precipitation are most likely to be Red-Listed by IUCN. Elevated habitat loss and human densities are also correlated with high threat risk. Range size, habitat loss and more extreme seasonality in precipitation contributed to decline risk in the 2,454 species that declined between 1980 and 2004, compared to species that were stable (n = 1,545) or had increased (n = 28). These empirical results show that amphibian species with restricted ranges should be urgently targeted for conservation.Navjot S. Sodhi, David Bickford, Arvin C.
