Academic education is seen as an important place for the development of professionalism of (future) adult educators. Since adult education academia, research, and practice is closely intertwined with global and international de- velopments, there is a need for adult education programmes to prepare their students for these interconnections. This can be examined in the context of international teaching and learning settings that integrate international, inter- cultural, or global perspectives into teaching and learning and are part of the internationalisation efforts of higher education. The focus of this international and comparative study is on how international teaching and learning settings contribute to the academic professionalisation in adult education in three mas- ter’s programmes with a focus on adult education at the University of Würzburg (Germany), University of Belgrade (Serbia) and University of Florence (Italy). International teaching and learning settings are examined on the structural and individual level of academic professionalisation. The aim is to explore the provision of international teaching and learning settings in the master’s pro- grammes on the one hand, and to analyse the contribution of international teach- ing and learning settings to the development of students’ professionalism on the other. For this purpose, three focus group interviews with programme heads, (academic) staff, and students as well as 22 guided interviews with graduates of the three master’s programmes at the three university locations are collected and analysed in an international and comparative study design. The study reveals similarities and differences in the forms, framework con- ditions, and goals of international teaching and learning settings between the three master’s programmes. Overarching contexts that guide the internationalisation of the master’s programmes become apparent (e.g. education and higher education policy, internationalisation of the university, programme structure). The triangulation of the interview data of the graduates shows that the interna- tional environment, the structural arrangement, and the practical relevance of the international teaching and learning settings support the development of the graduates’ professionalism. The results underline the relevance of international teaching and learning settings for the development of professionalism in adult education and point to the requirement for a systematic and comprehensive in- ternationalisation of adult education programmes.
Im Rahmen des interdisziplinären Promotionsschwerpunkts Resilienzfaktoren der Schmerzverarbeitung des evangelischen Studienwerks in Zusammenarbeit mit der Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg und der Otto-Friedrich-Universität Bamberg untersuche ich in diesem Promotionsprojekt den Einfluss von Sicherheit auf die Schmerzverarbeitung. Es ist bekannt, dass die Schmerzverarbeitung durch Emotionen moduliert werden kann. Man geht davon aus, dass negative Emotionen den Schmerz in der Regel verstärken, während positive Emotionen zu einer Schmerzreduktion führen. Frühere Studien fanden heraus, dass die Erwartung eines aversiven Ereignisses zu Bedrohung und stärkeren Schmerzen führt. Es stellt sich die Frage, ob das Gegenteil von Bedrohung, nämlich Sicherheit, zu einer Verringerung der Schmerzen führen kann. Um diese Hypothese zu untersuchen, habe ich drei Experimente an gesunden ProbandInnen durchgeführt.
Wireless communication networks already comprise an integral part of both the private and industrial sectors and are successfully replacing existing wired networks. They enable the development of novel applications and offer greater flexibility and efficiency. Although some efforts are already underway in the aerospace sector to deploy wireless communication networks on board spacecraft, none of these projects have yet succeeded in replacing the hard-wired state-of-the-art architecture for intra-spacecraft communication. The advantages are evident as the reduction of the wiring harness saves time, mass, and costs, and makes the whole integration process more flexible. It also allows for easier scaling when interconnecting different systems.
This dissertation deals with the design and implementation of a wireless network architecture to enhance intra-spacecraft communications by breaking with the state-of-the-art standards that have existed in the space industry for decades. The potential and benefits of this novel wireless network architecture are evaluated, an innovative design using ultra-wideband technology is presented. It is combined with a Medium Access Control (MAC) layer tailored for low-latency and deterministic networks supporting even mission-critical applications. As demonstrated by the Wireless Compose experiment on the International Space Station (ISS), this technology is not limited to communications but also enables novel positioning applications.
To adress the technological challenges, extensive studies have been carried out on electromagnetic compatibility, space radiation, and data robustness. The architecture was evaluated from various perspectives and successfully demonstrated in space.
Overall, this research highlights how a wireless network can improve and potentially replace existing state-of-the-art communication systems on board spacecraft in future missions. And it will help to adapt and ultimately accelerate the implementation of wireless networks in space systems.
The goal of this thesis is to study the topological and algebraic properties of the quasiconformal automorphism groups of simply and multiply connected domains in the complex plain, in which the quasiconformal automorphism groups are endowed with the supremum metric on the underlying domain. More precisely, questions concerning central topological properties such as (local) compactness, (path)-connectedness and separability and their dependence on the boundary of the corresponding domains are studied, as well as completeness with respect to the supremum metric. Moreover, special subsets of the quasiconformal automorphism group of the unit disk are investigated, and concrete quasiconformal automorphisms are constructed. Finally, a possible application of quasiconformal unit disk automorphisms to symmetric cryptography is presented, in which a quasiconformal cryptosystem is defined and studied.
Trust carries the capacity to shift the focus from risks to opportunities of a situation. Scientific studies from the field of trust research point out that besides situation-specific factors (i.e., stimuli of the environment), cross-situationally stable interindividual differences (i.e., personality) are involved in the emergence of trust. Stable interindividual differences are particularly influential to the subjective experience of situational conditions when crucial information is incomplete. The online shopping environment classifies as a prime example of markets with asymmetric information. Research has examined online consumer trust in the light of signaling theory to understand the effects of trust-enhancing signals. Previous research largely neglects interindividual differences in the perception, processing and reaction to these signals. Against this background, this scientific work has two primary objectives: the investigation of (1) interindividual differences in the evaluation of trust-enhancing signals and (2) a personality-based personalization of trust-enhancing signals in its effect on cognition and behavior. For this purpose, an interactive online shop setup was created, which served as realistic environmental framework. First, the results show a trust-enhancing effect of both objective and subjective personalization, with a superiority of subjective over objective personalization. Second, results suggest a particular susceptibility of the beliefs component of trust. Third, the results suggest that personalization exerts a specifically strong effect in what is, by definition, the particularly uncertain environment of credence goods. Fourth, results indicate that while the trust-enhancing effects of personalization operate (largely) independently of personality, the effect of personality on trust seems to depend on the condition of signal presentation. Taken together, the present work makes a contribution to understanding the effect of personality-adapted signaling environments on the emergence of trust and decision making in the specific context of B2C e-commerce.
Die Riesenzellarteriitis (RZA) ist in der Altersgruppe der über 50-Jährigen die häufigste idiopathische systemische Vaskulitis. Die Erkrankung bedarf einer zeitnahen Diagnostik und Therapie, um schwere Komplikationen wie eine Erblindung oder einen Schlaganfall zu vermeiden. Die Rezidivneigung erfordert eine mehrjährige, zum Teil lebenslange Glukokortikoid(GC)-Therapie, was das Risiko GC-induzierter Langzeitnebenwirkungen erhöht. Daher wird bei der Mehrzahl der Patienten eine additive GC-einsparende Therapie empfohlen. Hierzu steht der Anti-IL-6-Rezeptor-Antikörper Tocilizumab in subkutaner Applikation als zugelassene Substanz zur Verfügung, alternativ kann Methotrexat (MTX) eingesetzt werden (off-label).
Hintergrund und Ziel
Telemedizinische Schlaganfall-Netzwerke tragen dazu bei, die Schlaganfallversorgung und insbesondere den Zugang zu zeitkritischen Schlaganfalltherapien in vorrangig strukturschwachen, ländlichen Regionen zu gewährleisten. Ziel ist eine Darstellung der Nutzungsfrequenz und regionalen Verteilung dieser Versorgungsstruktur.
Methoden
Die Kommission „Telemedizinische Schlaganfallversorgung“ der Deutschen Schlaganfall-Gesellschaft führte eine Umfragestudie in allen Schlaganfall-Netzwerken durch.
Ergebnisse
In Deutschland sind 22 telemedizinische Schlaganfall-Netzwerke aktiv, welche insgesamt 43 Zentren (pro Netzwerk: Median 1,5, Interquartilsabstand [IQA] 1–3) sowie 225 Kooperationskliniken (pro Netzwerk: Median 9, IQA 4–17) umfassen und an einem unmittelbaren Zugang zur Schlaganfallversorgung für 48 Mio. Menschen teilhaben. Im Jahr 2018 wurden 38.211 Telekonsile (pro Netzwerk: Median 1340, IQA 319–2758) durchgeführt. Die Thrombolyserate betrug 14,1 % (95 %-Konfidenzintervall 13,6–14,7 %), eine Verlegung zur Thrombektomie wurde bei 7,9 % (95 %-Konfidenzintervall 7,5–8,4 %) der ischämischen Schlaganfallpatienten initiiert. Das Finanzierungssystem ist uneinheitlich mit einem Vergütungssystem für die Zentrumsleistungen in nur drei Bundesländern.
Diskussion
Etwa jeder 10. Schlaganfallpatient wird telemedizinisch behandelt. Die telemedizinischen Schlaganfall-Netzwerke erreichen vergleichbar hohe Lyseraten und Verlegungen zur Thrombektomie wie neurologische Stroke-Units und tragen zur Sicherstellung einer flächendeckenden Schlaganfallversorgung bei. Eine netzwerkübergreifende Sicherstellung der Finanzierung und einheitliche Erhebung von Qualitätssicherungsdaten haben das Potenzial diese Versorgungsstruktur zukünftig weiter zu stärken.
The topological classification of electronic band structures is based on symmetry properties of Bloch eigenstates of single-particle Hamiltonians. In parallel, topological field theory has opened the doors to the formulation and characterization of non-trivial phases of matter driven by strong electron-electron interaction. Even though important examples of topological Mott insulators have been constructed, the relevance of the underlying non-interacting band topology to the physics of the Mott phase has remained unexplored. Here, we show that the momentum structure of the Green’s function zeros defining the “Luttinger surface" provides a topological characterization of the Mott phase related, in the simplest description, to the one of the single-particle electronic dispersion. Considerations on the zeros lead to the prediction of new phenomena: a topological Mott insulator with an inverted gap for the bulk zeros must possess gapless zeros at the boundary, which behave as a form of “topological antimatter” annihilating conventional edge states. Placing band and Mott topological insulators in contact produces distinctive observable signatures at the interface, revealing the otherwise spectroscopically elusive Green’s function zeros.
T cell exhaustion is a hallmark of cancer and persistent infections, marked by inhibitory receptor upregulation, diminished cytokine secretion, and impaired cytolytic activity. Terminally exhausted T cells are steadily replenished by a precursor population (Tpex), but the metabolic principles governing Tpex maintenance and the regulatory circuits that control their exhaustion remain incompletely understood. Using a combination of gene-deficient mice, single-cell transcriptomics, and metabolomic analyses, we show that mitochondrial insufficiency is a cell-intrinsic trigger that initiates the functional exhaustion of T cells. At the molecular level, we find that mitochondrial dysfunction causes redox stress, which inhibits the proteasomal degradation of hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) and promotes the transcriptional and metabolic reprogramming of Tpex cells into terminally exhausted T cells. Our findings also bear clinical significance, as metabolic engineering of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells is a promising strategy to enhance the stemness and functionality of Tpex cells for cancer immunotherapy.
Axon degeneration and functional decline in myelin diseases are often attributed to loss of myelin but their relation is not fully understood. Perturbed myelinating glia can instigate chronic neuroinflammation and contribute to demyelination and axonal damage. Here we study mice with distinct defects in the proteolipid protein 1 gene that develop axonal damage which is driven by cytotoxic T cells targeting myelinating oligodendrocytes. We show that persistent ensheathment with perturbed myelin poses a risk for axon degeneration, neuron loss, and behavioral decline. We demonstrate that CD8\(^+\) T cell-driven axonal damage is less likely to progress towards degeneration when axons are efficiently demyelinated by activated microglia. Mechanistically, we show that cytotoxic T cell effector molecules induce cytoskeletal alterations within myelinating glia and aberrant actomyosin constriction of axons at paranodal domains. Our study identifies detrimental axon-glia-immune interactions which promote neurodegeneration and possible therapeutic targets for disorders associated with myelin defects and neuroinflammation.
