  abstract  = {Das postoperativ neu aufgetretene Vorhofflimmern (POAF) ist die h{\"a}ufigste Herzrhythmusst{\"o}rung nach einer Herzoperation und mit einer erh{\"o}hten Morbidit{\"a}t und Mortalit{\"a}t verbunden. Das Ziel der Studie war fibrotische und inflammatorische Biomarker sowie die kalziuminduzierte Kontraktionskraft im linken und rechten Vorhof als Pr{\"a}diktoren f{\"u}r POAF zu bewerten. Von den 229 eingeschlossenen Patienten im Sinusrhythmus, die sich einer elektiven Herzbypass-Operation unterzogen haben entwickelten 38 Patienten ein POAF. Klinische und laborchemische Daten sowie echokardiographische Befunde wurden erhoben und kalziuminduzierte Kraftmessungen von geskinnten linken und rechten atrialen Muskelfasern durchgef{\"u}hrt. Patienten mit POAF waren {\"a}lter, hatten signifikant gr{\"o}ßere LA-Fl{\"a}che und RA-Fl{\"a}che, eine h{\"o}here Pr{\"a}valenz der arteriellen Hypertonie und signifikant geringere TAPSE-Werte. Von den getesteten Biomarkern f{\"u}r Fibrose und Entz{\"u}ndung waren MMP-9 und Pentraxin-3 signifikant verringert und NT-Pro-BNP und GDF-15 signifikant erh{\"o}ht. Patienten mit POAF hatten zus{\"a}tzlich signifikant niedrigere LA-Kraftwerte (pCa 5,5 bis 4,52; p <0,04) und RA-Kraftwerte (pCa 5,0 bis pCa 4,52; p <0,04). Die univariate Analyse ergab den LA-Kraftwert bei pCa 5,5 (p = 0,033), das fortgeschrittene Alter (p = 0,033), die LA-Fl{\"a}che (p = 0,013), die RA-Fl{\"a}che (p = 0,081) und das TAPSE (p = 0,01) als unabh{\"a}ngige Pr{\"a}diktoren f{\"u}r POAF. Die Ber{\"u}cksichtigung dieser Parameter k{\"o}nnte die Identifizierung und Risikostratifizierung von Patienten mit POAF-Risiko unterst{\"u}tzen.},

  abstract  = {The article starts with the etymology of the words Vorlesung („lecture") and H{\"o}rsaal ("lecture hall"). On the one hand, it turns out that the two expressions are deeply anchored in the history of the old Latin scientific language. They transmit Latin structures and perspectives in German neologisms. On the other hand, the two words arose exactly at the time when the sciences were moving from Latin to German, thus distancing themselves from the traditional forms of Latin scholarship. In this light, they exemplify an epochal change in the history of the German language, but at the same time they represent a great European continuity. Against this background, the two words can be interpreted as symptomatic words associated with the Enlightenment's confident outlook on the future relationship between science and society. Further corpus linguistic surveys also show how productively the two words appear in word formation processes. In particular, these surveys show by way of example that and how German standard language has benefited from the emergence of German academic language.},

  abstract  = {Farmland tree cultivation is considered an important option for enhancing wood production. In South India, the native leaf-deciduous tree species Melia dubia is popular for short-rotation plantations. Across a rainfall gradient from 420 to 2170 mm year\(^{-1}\), we studied 186 farmland woodlots between one and nine years in age. The objectives were to identify the main factors controlling aboveground biomass (AGB) and growth rates. A power-law growth model predicts an average stand-level AGB of 93.8 Mg ha\(^{-1}\) for nine-year-old woodlots. The resulting average annual AGB increment over the length of the rotation cycle is 10.4 Mg ha\(^{-1}\) year\(^{-1}\), which falls within the range reported for other tropical tree plantations. When expressing the parameters of the growth model as functions of management, climate and soil variables, it explains 65\% of the variance in AGB. The results indicate that water availability is the main driver of the growth of M. dubia. Compared to the effects of water availability, the effects of soil nutrients are 26\% to 60\% smaller. We conclude that because of its high biomass accumulation rates in farm forestry, M. dubia is a promising candidate for short-rotation plantations in South India and beyond.},

  abstract  = {In summary, the wave-CAIPI k-space trajectory presents an efficient sampling strategy for accelerated MR acquisitions. Using wave-CAIPI in parallel imaging reconstructions leads to a reduced noise level in the reconstructed images, compared to the Cartesian standard trajectory. This effect could be quantified by means of noise and SNR calculations. An SNR gain can be traded for a reduced scan time, i.e., additional undersampling, or for an enhanced image quality, keeping scan time constant. Acceleration of MR imaging is especially important in dynamic applications, since these examinations are inherently time-consuming. The impact of wave-CAIPI sampling on image quality and its potential for scan time reduction was investigated for two dynamic applications: self-gated dynamic 3D lung MRI during free breathing and cardiac 4D flow MRI. Dynamic 3D Lung MRI By employing wave-CAIPI sampling in self-gated, free-breathing dynamic 3D lung MRI for the purpose of radiotherapy treatment planning, the image quality of accelerated scans could be enhanced. Volunteer examinations were used to quantify image quality by means of similarity between accelerated and reference images. To this end, the normalized mutual information and the root-mean-square error were chosen as quantitative image similarity measures. The wave-CAIPI sampling was shown to exhibit superior quality, especially for short scan times. The values of the normalized mutual information were (10.2 +- 7.3)\% higher in the wave-CAIPI case -- the root-mean-square error was (18.9 +- 13.2)\% lower on average. SNR calculations suggest an average SNR benefit of around 14\% for the wave-CAIPI, compared to Cartesian sampling. Resolution of the lung in 8 breathing states can be achieved in only 2 minutes. By using the wave-CAIPI k-space trajectory, precise tumor delineation and assessment of respiration-induced displacement is facilitated. Cardiac 4D Flow MRI In 4D flow MRI, acceleration of the image acquisition is essential to incorporate the corresponding scan protocols into clinical routine. In this work, a retrospective 6-fold acceleration of the image acquisition was realized. Cartesian and wave-CAIPI 4D flow examinations of healthy volunteers were used to quantify uncertainties in flow parameters for the respective sampling schemes. By employing wave-CAIPI sampling, the estimated errors in flow parameters in 6-fold accelerated scans could be reduced by up to 55\%. Noise calculations showed that the noise level in 6-fold accelerated 4D flow acquisitions with wave-CAIPI is 43\% lower, compared to Cartesian sampling. Comparisons between Cartesian and wave-CAIPI 4D flow examinations with a prospective acceleration factor R=2 revealed small, but partly statistically significant discrepancies. Differences between 2-fold and 6-fold accelerated wave-CAIPI scans are comparable to the differences between Cartesian and wave-CAIPI examinations at R=2. Wave-CAIPI 4D flow acquisitions of the aorta could be performed with an average, simulated scan time of under 4 minutes, with reduced uncertainties in flow parameters. Important visualizations of hemodynamic flow patterns in the aorta were only slightly affected by undersampling in the wave-CAIPI case, whereas for Cartesian sampling, considerable discrepancies were observed.},

  abstract  = {π-Conjugated oligomers and polymers with tricoordinate boron centers incorporated into the main chain have attracted considerable attention as the interaction of the vacant p orbital on boron with an adjacent π system of the chain leads to conjugated materials with intriguing optical and electronic properties. This enables applicability in organic electronics and optoelectronics (OLEDs, OFETs, photovoltaics) or as sensory materials. The potential of our B-C coupling protocol using metal-free catalytic Si/B exchange condensation is demonstrated by the synthesis of a series of π-conjugated monodisperse (het)aryl oligoboranes. Variation of the (het)aryl moieties allowed for tunability of the optoelectronic properties of the materials. Additionally, catalytic C-C cross-coupling strategies were applied to synthesize oligofuryl-based mono- and bisboranes, as well as polymers. These studies led to very robust and highly emissive compounds (f up to 97 \%), which allow for tuning of their emission color from blue to orange. Furthermore, this work includes investigations of reaction routes to a kinetically stabilized tetraoxaporphyrinogen. Being a key aspect of this work, a full investigation of the mechanism of the catalytic Si/B exchange was carried out. Additionally, this work presents the use of borenium cations to perform B-C coupling via intermolecular electrophilic borylation. Similar to the Si/B exchange, this route is capable of giving access to diaryl(bromo)boranes.},

  abstract  = {Chronic hepatitis C can be treated very effectively with direct-acting antivirals (DAA) with only minor side effects compared to an interferon-containing treatment regimen. The significance of metabolic comorbidities after HCV cure is not well defined. This study aims to investigate short- and long-term weight change of patients receiving interferon-free antiviral treatment for chronic hepatitis C. The German Hepatitis C-registry (DHC-R) is a national multicenter real-world cohort. A total of 5111 patients were followed prospectively after DAA treatment for up to 3 years. Weight change compared to baseline was analyzed at end of treatment and at years 1, 2, and 3 after completion of antiviral therapy. Regression analysis was performed to identify baseline predictors for weight change. While there was no relevant mean weight change (-0.2 kg, SD 4.3 kg) at the end of antiviral treatment, weight started to increase during long-term follow-up reaching +1.7 kg (SD 8.0 kg, p < 0.001) compared to baseline at 3 years (follow-up year 3, FU3) after completion of antiviral therapy. 48\%, 31\%, and 22\% of patients had a weight gain greater than 1, 3, and 5 kg at FU3, respectively. During follow-up, a body mass index (BMI) <30 proved to be the only consistent predictor for weight gain. DAA treatment is followed by a substantial weight gain (+3 kg or more) in one-third of the patients during long-term follow-up. Non-obese patients seemed to be most vulnerable to weight gain. The body compartment involved in weight gain as well as the mechanism of weight gain remain to be elucidated.},

  abstract  = {The extinction of species is a non-random process, and understanding why some species are more likely to go extinct than others is critical for conservation efforts. Functional trait-based approaches offer a promising tool to achieve this goal. In forests, deadwood-dependent (saproxylic) beetles comprise a major part of threatened species, but analyses of their extinction risk have been hindered by the availability of suitable morphological traits. To better understand the mechanisms underlying extinction in insects, we investigated the relationships between morphological features and the extinction risk of saproxylic beetles. Specifically, we hypothesised that species darker in colour, with a larger and rounder body, a lower mobility, lower sensory perception and more robust mandibles are at higher risk. We first developed a protocol for morphological trait measurements and present a database of 37 traits for 1,157 European saproxylic beetle species. Based on 13 selected, independent traits characterising aspects of colour, body shape, locomotion, sensory perception and foraging, we used a proportional-odds multiple linear mixed-effects model to model the German Red List categories of 744 species as an ordinal index of extinction risk. Six out of 13 traits correlated significantly with extinction risk. Larger species as well as species with a broad and round body had a higher extinction risk than small, slim and flattened species. Species with short wings had a higher extinction risk than those with long wings. On the contrary, extinction risk increased with decreasing wing load and with higher mandibular aspect ratio (shorter and more robust mandibles). Our study provides new insights into how morphological traits, beyond the widely used body size, determine the extinction risk of saproxylic beetles. Moreover, our approach shows that the morphological characteristics of beetles can be comprehensively represented by a selection of 13 traits. We recommend them as a starting point for functional analyses in the rapidly growing field of ecological and conservation studies of deadwood.},
