Binge drinking
No full textRuntime 1:30 minutesThis resource is provided for informational purposes only and may not reflect current scientific knowledge or medical recommendations.Welcome to Public Health Moment from the University of Minnesota. Binge drinking is common among active-duty military personnel, according to a new study released by the University of Minnesota and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). In the study, involving more than 16,000 military personnel, binge drinking was reported by 43 percent of military personnel during the past month. How does one define binge drinking? Lead author of the study, Mandy Stahre, a University of Minnesota Ph.D. student, explains. Stahre says the study shows that binge drinking is a significant public health problem.

Changes in science content knowledge and attitudes toward science teaching of educators attending a zoo-based neuroscience professional development
No full textInformal learning environments often host teachers for learning opportunities, but little is known about the impact of these experiences on teacher professional development (PD). This article describes a unique collaborative PD experience between zoological park personnel and university faculty, examining the impact on teacher content knowledge, attitudes, and classroom lessons. Our findings suggest that the PD improved science content, but made no impact on already high attitudes toward science. In light of the high level of self-reported satisfaction and high frequency of teacher lesson plan use, we propose that the PD had other positive outcomes such as pedagogical knowledge and authentic learning experiences.John L.

Multi-source monitoring data and numerical analyses for the assessment of settlements affecting built-up areas in variable soil conditions
No full textThis paper presents an integrated analysis based on the use of multi-source wide-area datasets consisting of hydro-mechanical properties of geomaterials, in-situ investigations/measurements (e.g. groundwater levels in wells) and innovative space-borne data (i.e. DInSAR techniques) to support numerical analyses aimed at assessing and predicting the settlements affecting built-up areas in variable soil conditions. To this aim, an expeditious procedure was developed and tested with reference to a district in Rotterdam City (The Netherlands) affected by subsidence phenomena due to the presence of heterogeneous settling strata mainly composed by peat and organic soils. The results obtained allowed investigating the role of predisposing factors of the settlement occurrence and assessing the induced damage on buildings. Considering the widespread diffusion of such geohazards, the followed procedure could help the in-charge authorities to carry out activities at urban scale aimed at identifying the areas most affected by subsidence risk and to select the most suitable and sustainable mitigation strategies.Applied MechanicsGeo-engineerin
Rolle von TcyB und Gpo an der Aufrechterhaltung der Redoxhomöostase und Anpassung während oxidativen Stresses in <em>Lactobacillus sanfranciscensis</em>
No full textTo date, the importance of genes is insufficiently investigated, which participate in redox reactions in Lactobacillus sanfranciscensis. In the present work it could be evidenced that the Glutathione peroxidase (Gpo) as well as the Cystine transporter (TcyB) have significant functions in the limitation of oxidative stress in this strain. It could also be shown that TcyB has a distinct role in balancing the intracellular thiol homeostasis during emerging oxidative stress.Die Bedeutung von Enzymen, die an Redoxreaktionen in Lactobacillus sanfranciscensis beteiligt sind, ist bisher unzureichend untersucht. In der vorliegenden Arbeit konnte nachgewiesen werden, dass in diesem Stamm sowohl die Glutathionperoxidase (Gpo) als auch der Cystintransporter (TcyB) wichtige Funktionen in der Reduzierung oxidativen Stresses wahrnehmen. Weiterhin konnte gezeigt werden, dass TcyB unter oxidativem Stress zu einer ausgeglichenen intrazellulären Thiolhomöostase beiträgt
On unregulated markets and the freedom of media the transition of the East German press after 1989
No full textThis thesis fills a gap in research, literature and our understanding of transitioning media in post-socialist countries. It tells the fascinating and complicated story of a press moving from state control to a Western free press model. The focus lies on the German Democratic Republic (GDR) between the fall of the Berlin Wall in November 1989 until after German unification in October 1990. It is a story untold in English-language literature, and it is a largely ignored part in contemporary German media history. Being written for an international readership while engaging largely with a unique moment in German and international media history, this thesis bridges a gap between national, continental and academic disciplines. Its primary question is in how far the democratic potential that existed in the moment of revolutionary change in 1989/1990 found its institutional and/or political manifestation in the post-socialist East German press. Contrary to current research, it answers this question by approaching it from the perspective of an expanding Western democratic, and market economic order. It is, thus, not concerned with case studies or one press-related sector but looks at structural change on various levels; its focus lies on the simultaneous battles fought over a free press. Core concern is the intersection between the normative role the press holds in a democratic society and that of a newly developing, or rather established expanding Western market economy.
This thesis analyzes three press-related sectors within a transitioning political setting: first, the opening of the GDR to (and sale of) West German print media; second, the reform and building of distribution infrastructures, and, third, emerging East-West joint ventures and subsequent changing newspaper ownerships. While closely interlinked, reforming distribution became the point of conflict over which issues of a “free press” were being debated. This thesis shows that nothing that happened in the GDR before, during and after the transition happened in isolation nor was it an exclusively East German problem. Instead, East Germany became the battle ground for various interests groups, East and West, but with clear and all-overshadowing interests of West German political and economic groups. These groups generally expanded and continued their long-established interests and disputes onto the newly opened political arena and economic market. Aiming for power at different levels, all had an interest in influencing media and its policies to their own advantage or, by simply circumventing them, created situations on the ground that, once put into place, were hard to change.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2020-08-01The student, Mandy Troger, accepted the attached license on 2018-07-06 at 20:31.The student, Mandy Troger, submitted this Dissertation for approval on 2018-07-06 at 20:43.This Dissertation was approved for publication on 2018-07-10 at 13:34.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #12765 on 2018-09-27 at 11:16:44Made available in DSpace on 2018-09-27T16:30:20Z (GMT).
