Current theorizing argues that phone conversation affects behavior (e.g., driving) by interfering at a level of cognitive processes (not peripheral activity) and by implying an attentional-failure account. Within the framework of an intermittent spare-utilized capacity threading model, we examined the effect of aspects of (secondary-task) phone conversation on (primary-task) continuous arithmetic performance, asking whether phone use makes components of automatic and controlled information-processing (i.e., easy vs. hard mental arithmetic) run more slowly, or alternatively, makes processing run less reliably albeit with the same processing speed. The results can be summarized as follows: While neither expecting a text message nor expecting an impending phone call had any detrimental effects on performance, active phone conversation was clearly detrimental to primary-task performance. Crucially, the decrement imposed by secondary-task (conversation) was not due to a constant slowdown but is better be characterized by an occasional breakdown of information processing, which differentially affected automatic and controlled components of primary-task processing. In conclusion, these findings support the notion that phone conversation makes individuals not constantly slower but more vulnerable to commit attention failure, and in this way, hampers stability of (primary-task) information processing.}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{StelzergebNagel2017, author = {Stelzer [geb.

Ein besonderer Fokus wurde hierbei auf die Beurteilbarkeit der Eignung dieser Zementsysteme als injizierbare Zementpasten in m{\"o}glicherweise lasttragenden Bereichen gelegt. Eine Reaktivierung von Farringtonit und anschließendes Ab-binden mit Wasser konnte durch Hochenergiemahlung f{\"u}r 2 h bis 24 h erzielt werden. Mechanisch aktiviertes Farringtonit mit Polyacryls{\"a}ure (100.000 g/mol) bzw. kurzzeitig gemahlenes Farringtonit mit h{\"o}her molekulargewichtiger Polyac-ryls{\"a}ure f{\"u}hrte auf Grund der zum Teil summierten Reaktivit{\"a}t in der sauren Umgebung der Polyacryls{\"a}ure zu einer schlechten Verarbeitbarkeit und unzu-reichenden Druckfestigkeiten. Um chelatisiertes Farringtonit mit angemessenen Festigkeiten zu erhalten, zeigte sich die Anwesenheit von Ammoniumionen als vielversprechende Strategie. Als hydratisierte Produkte wurden je nach Formu-lierung Struvit (MgNH4PO4·6H2O), Newberyit (MgHPO4·3H2O) oder Mag-nesiumphosphathydrat (Mg3(PO4)2·22H2O) gewonnen.

Die entwickelten Zementsysteme zeigten 60 min nach Beginn des Abbindevor-gangs einen pH-Wert von 4,7 bis 6,4 und Temperaturmaxima von 28,5 °C bis 52 °C je nach Zusammensetzung. Der Mischzement, f{\"u}r welchen maximale Druckfestigkeiten von 15,0±4,1 MPa gemessen wurden, zeigte ein deutlich we-niger spr{\"o}des Bruchverhalten im Vergleich zu den reinen Verd{\"u}nnungen. Da der spr{\"o}de Charakter klassischer mineralische Knochenzemente einen limitie-renden Faktor f{\"u}r die Anwendung in lasttragenden Bereichen darstellt, kann dies als deutliche Verbesserung der mechanischen Eigenschaften beurteilt wer-den. Immerhin lagen die erzielten Festigkeitswerte in der Gr{\"o}ßenordnung der humanen Spongiosa. Besonders hervorzuheben ist außerdem der synergisti-sche Effekt, welcher bei Zementformulierungen aus kurzzeitig gemahlenem Farringtonit mit 17,5 Gew.\%iger Polyacryls{\"a}ure L{\"o}sung und 23,1 Gew.\%iger Diammoniumhydrogenphosphat L{\"o}sung mit einem Pulver-zu-Fl{\"u}ssigkeitsver-h{\"a}ltnis von 1,5 g/ml beobachtet werden konnte.

Chapter 2 investigates the productivity effects of worker inflows to manufacturing establishments, distinguishing inflows by their previous employers' wage level, as a proxy for productivity. The chapter is motivated by several empirical studies which find that worker inflows from more productive or higher-paying firms increase hiring firms' productivity. The analyses in chapter 2 are based on a unique linked employer-employee data set. The findings indicate that inflows from higher-paying establishments do not increase hiring establishments' productivity, but inflows from lower-paying establishments do. Further analyses suggest that this effect is due to a positive selectivity of such inflows from their sending establishments. These findings can be interpreted as evidence of a reallocation process by which the best employees of lower-paying establishments become hired by higher-paying establishments. This process reflects the assortative pattern of worker mobility in Germany documented by Card et al. (2013) for the past decades. The chapter thus contributes to the literature by linking establishment-level productivity analysis to the assortative pattern of inter-firm worker mobility, thereby providing a micro-foundation for the latter. Chapter 3 focuses on a positive selection of workers moving between firms from another, more specific perspective. The analysis focuses on the importance of regional labor market competition for establishments' apprentice training and poaching of apprenticeship completers. Previous studies have found that firms provide less training if they are located in regions with strong labor market competition. This finding is usually interpreted as evidence of a higher risk of poaching in these regions. Yet, there is no direct evidence that regional competition is positively correlated with poaching. Building on a recently established approach to ex-post identify poaching of apprenticeship completers, this chapter is the first to directly investigate the correlation between regional labor market competition and poaching. Using German administrative data, it is found that competition indeed increases training establishments' probability of becoming poaching victims. However, poaching victims do not change their apprenticeship training activity in reaction to poaching. Instead, the findings indicate that the lower training activity in competitive regions can be attributed to lower retention rates, as well as a less adverse selection and lower labor and hiring costs of apprenticeship completers hired from rivals. Chapter 4 investigates the effects of local broadband internet availability on establishment-level employment growth. The analysis uses data for Germany in the years 2005-2009, when broadband was introduced in rural regions of Western Germany and in large parts of Eastern Germany. Technical frictions in broadband rollout are exploited to obtain exogenous variation in local broadband availability. The results suggest that broadband expansion had a positive effect on employment growth in the Western German service sector and a negative effect in Western German manufacturing, suggesting that broadband expansion has accelerated the reallocation of workers from manufacturing to services. Furthermore, this pattern of results is driven by pronounced positive effects in knowledge- and computer-intensive industries, suggesting that it is the actual use of broadband in the production process that leads to complementary hiring, respectively a slowdown of employment growth, in the respective sectors. For Eastern Germany, no significant employment growth effects are found.}, subject = {Arbeitsmarkt}, language = {en} } @article{StoevesandtHospKerstanetal.2017, author = {Stoevesandt, Johanna and Hosp, Christine and Kerstan, Andreas and Trautmann, Axel}, title = {Safety of 100 µg venom immunotherapy rush protocols in children compared to adults}, series = {Allergy, Asthma \& Clinical Immunology}, volume = {13}, journal = {Allergy, Asthma \& Clinical Immunology}, number = {32}, doi = {10.1186/s13223-017-0204-y}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-157830}, year = {2017}, abstract = {Background: There is a paucity of studies examining the safety of venom immunotherapy (VIT) in children. We aimed to assess the incidence of anaphylactic side effects during rush VIT in a cohort of pediatric patients and adult controls. Methods: 72 consecutive cycles of VIT-buildup in 71 children/adolescents aged 7-17 years were retrospectively evaluated and compared to an adult control group (n = 981) with regard to baseline parameters (sex, causative venom, severity of index sting reaction, results of allergy testing, comorbidities) and the incidence of anaphylactic adverse reactions. Results: Compared to adults, severe index sting-induced anaphylaxis was significantly less common in children (P = .001). Children were more likely to suffer from bee venom allergy (P < .001) and showed higher levels of bee venom-specific IgE (P = .013), but lower serum tryptase concentrations (P = .014). The overall rate of VIT-induced anaphylactic reactions was higher in children than in adults (6.9\% vs 2.5\%, P = .046 by univariate analysis). In the final binary logistic regression model, however, only bee VIT (P = .039; odds ratio 2.25; confidence interval 1.04-4.87) and 5-day compared to 3-day buildup protocols (P = .011; odds ratio 2.64; confidence interval 1.25-5.57) were associated with an increased risk of treatment-induced anaphylaxis. All pediatric patients finally reached and tolerated the target maintenance dose of 100 µg. Conclusions: The higher anaphylactic reaction rate observed in pediatric patients may be attributed to a greater prevalence of bee venom allergy. VIT-induced anaphylaxis in children is usually mild and does not affect further updosing and maintenance of VIT.}, language = {en} } @article{StrasserSchrauthDembskietal.2017, author = {Straßer, Marion and Schrauth, Joachim H.
