Radioactive amino acids were incorporated in vivo into N eurospora crassa cells, and the mitochondrial ribosomes were isolated. The incorporation of radioactivity into the proteins of these ribosomes was inhibited by cycloheximide, but not by chloramphenicol. It is therefore concluded that these proteins are synthesized on the cycloheximide sensitive and chloramphenicol insensitive cytoplasmic ribosomes.

1. Die Feistkäfer Pimelia grossa, P. tenuicornis, der Mehlkäfer Tenebrio molitor, die Mistkäfer Geotrupes silvaticus und G. stercorarius konnen sich unter entsprechenden Bedingungen rein anemomenotaktisch orientieren (Abb. 1-8). Sie bevorzugen Laufwinkel, die in relativ enge Winkelbereiche rechts und links der beiden Grundrichtungen führen (Abb. 3, 4, 26). 2. Die Bevorzugung bestimmter Winkelgrößen andert sich bei Geotrupes nicht gesetzmig mit der Tageszeit, der Temperatur (im Bereich 18-28° C) oder dem Fütterungszustand (Abb. 8-11). 3. Die untere Grenze der Windstärke, die eine menotaktische Einstellung ermöglicht, liegt für die Mistkäfer bei etwa 0,15 m/sec, für die Feistkäfer bei etwa 0,4 m/sec. Die obere Grenze befindet sich bei Geschwindigkeiten, die den Käfern ein Vorwärtskommen unmöglich machen. 4. Bei der menotaktischen Einstellung wird nur die Reizrichtung nicht aber die Reizstarke bewertet (Abb. 13-15). 5. Die Kontinuitat des Luftstroms ist keine Voraussetzung für die anemomenotaktische Orientierung: Die Käfer orientieren sich auch nach kurzen Windstößen (Abb. 17, 19, 21). Während der Windstille kommt es zu regelhaften Abweichungen von dem bei Wind eingehaltenen Kurs (Abb. 18). Das Ausmaß dieser Abweichungen wird nach häufigen Windunterbrechungen stark verringert (Abb. 20). 6. Gegen Turbulenzen des Luftstroms, wie sie über unebenem Untergrund entstehen, ist die Anemomenotaxis der Käfer nicht sehr anfällig (Abb. 22). 7. Die Sinnesorgane, die dem intakten Käfer die Windrichtungsbestimmung ermöglichen, sprechen auf Bewegungen im Pedicellus-Flagellumgelenk an. Ein Verlust der Endkolben hat beim Mistkäfer keinen Einfluß auf die Richtungs- und Winkelgrößenwahl, auch die Streuung wird nicht signifikant größer. 2 Flagellenglieder pro Antenne ermöglichen bei Windgeschwindigkeiten um oder über 1 m/sec noch eine anemomenotaktische Orientierung (Tabelle 3). 8. Bei 3 Mistkäfern, deren Fühler 4 Wochen bzw. 4 Monate vor dem Versuch entfernt worden waren, konnte wieder eine Orientierung nach der Windrichtung nachgewiesen werden (Abb. 23, Tabelle 1). 9. Die Kafer konnen Laufwinkel intramodal vierdeutig transponieren (z.B. Abb. 28, 29). Am deutlichsten tritt diese Fähigkeit bei Versuchsneulingen zutage, deren Laufe rein fluchtmotiviert sind: Sie wählen normalerweise denjenigen der 4 möglichen Laufwinkel, der der Aufsetzrichtung am nächsten liegt (vgl. Abb. 25, 26). 10. Die Existenz und die Wirkungsrichtung eines Drehkommandos, sowie die Beteiligung beider Grundorientierungen an der Anemomenotaxis werden nachgewiesen (Abb. 31). Die Fähigkeit, eine gleichbleibende Drehkommandogröße (die nie zu einer stärkeren Abweichung als 90° von einer Grundrichtung führen kann) mit verschiedenem Vorzeichen der Drehrichtung versehen zu konnen und die Möglichkeit zur Taxisumkehr (Abb. 32) erklären die orientierungsphysiologische Seite des vierdeutigen intramodalen Transponierens. 11. Versuchsergebnisse, die Aussagen uber den physiologischen Mechanismus der Anemomenotaxis der Käfer zulassen, sprechen für einen Kompensationsmechanismus. Die gegen die Kompensationstheorie der Menotaxis (JANDER, 1957) vorgebrachten Argumente werden im Rahmen der bisherigen Resultate kurz diskutiert. 12. Die möglichen biologischen Bedeutungen der Anemomenotaxis werden besprochen. Es wird angenommen, daß sie beim Appetenzverhalten des nach geruchlichen Schlüsselreizen "suchenden" Käfers ihre biologisch wichtigste Aufgabe erfüllt. Sie kann auch die basalen Aufgaben einer Raumorientierung übernehmen und so z.B. kompaßtreue Fluchtkurse steuern.
Semi -iso la ted annul a te lamellae were prepared from single newt oocy tes (Triturus alpestris) by a modified Call a n-T omlin technique. Such preparations were examined with the electron mi croscope, and the negative sta ining a ppearance of th e a nnulate lamellae is described . The annul a te lamellae can be de tected either adhering to the nuclear envelope or being detached from it. Sometimes they a re obse rved to be connected with slender tubular-like structures interpreted as pa rts of the endoplasmic reti culum. The results obta ined from negativ e sta ining a re combined with those from sections. Especially, the structural data on th e a nnula te lamellae and the nuclear envelope of the very same cell were compa red . Evidence is presented th a t in the oocytes studied the two kinds of porous cisternae, n amely a nnul a te lamellae and nuclear envelope, a re markedly distinguished in that the annul a te lamellae ex hibit a much higher pore frequency (generally about twice tha t found for the corresponding nuclear envelope) and have al so a rela tive pore area occupying as much as 32 % to 55 % of th e cistern al surface (compa red with 13 % to 22 % in the nuclear envelopes). T he pore di ame ter a nd all other ultras tructural details of the pore complexes, however, a re equi valent in both kinds of porous cisternae. Like the annuli of the nuclear pore complexes of various a nimal and pl ant cells, the a nnuli of the a nnula te lamellae pores reveal al so an eightfold symmetry of their subunits in negatively stained as well as in ectioned ma teria l. Furthermore, th e a nnul a te lamellae a re shown to be a site of activity of the Mg-Na-Kstimul a ted ATPase.
Nach homoplastischer Transplantation von larvalen Gonaden mit Fettkiirper in die vordere Leibeshiihle wiichst nur der Fettkiirper an der Leber an, so daB die Gonade nur indirekt mit dem Wirtsgewebe verbunden ist. Die Differenzierung der Gametogonien folgt der Normogenese, bei Ovartransplantationen entwickeln sich Auxocyten. Nach spatestens 27 Tagen ist die Blutversorgung wiederhergestellt. Homo- und autoplastische Transplantationen von Gonaden oh ne Fettkiirper ergeben fUr die Gametogonien eine vollig andere Entwicklung. Sind die Gonaden mit breiter Fliiche angewachsen, liiBt si ch bereits 7 Tage p.o. im Bereich der Kontaktzone Gonade-Leber die Karyolyse der Gametogonienkerne feststellen. Nach 3--4 Wochen stellt das Transplantat eine bindegewebige Zyste ohne Geschlechtszellen dar. Erythrozyten zeigen die Vaskularisation an. 1st nur ein Teil der Gonade mit der Leber verwachsen, zeigt der frei gebliebene Abschnitt eine normale Struktur mit Mitosen der Gametogonien. Die Degeneration der Geschlechtszellen hiingt offenbar von ihrer Lage zum extragonadalen Gewebe ab.

1. Scorpions can orient menotactically to horizontal air currents (Fig. 1). 2. Changing the wind velocity from 0,05-0,1 m/sec to 3--5 m/sec has no influence on the menotactic angle kept by an anemomenotactic oriented scorpion (Fig. 2). 3. The receptors percieving the direction of air currents are the trichobothria. 4. Orientation to horizon landmarks, anemomenotactic and astromenotactic orientation does not exclude each other but complete themthelves mutually: a) A scorpion orienting to horizon landmarks learns the corresponding anemomenotactic and astromenotactic angle (Fig. 4). b) While orienting anemomenotactically (which is normally the main means of orientation when landmarks are absent) they continously learn new astromenotactical angles (Fig. 5), thus compensating for the movement of the moon or sun which can not be compensated otherwise. c) Short calms and short changes of wind direction can be overcome by astrotaxis.

Werben und Drohen gehören zu den Verhaltensweisen mit Mitteilungswert, die besonders häufig - im Dienste ihrer SignalIunktion umgestaltet - zu Auslösern werden. Solche Auslöser, seien es nun besondere Bewegungsweisen und/oder spezielle morphologische Strukturen, sind an das Individuum gebunden. Eine optische Werbung oder ein Drohen mit körperfremden Mitteln, stellvertretend für ein Individuum, galt bislang als Privileg des Menschen. Die folgenden Ausführungen werden aber zeigen, daß auch andere Lebewesen derartige "Aushängeschilder" gebrauchen.

Es wird untersucht, ob die Azoren-Buchfinken "Rassengesang" und "Rassenrufe" haben. Gesange und Rufe wurden auf Tonband aufgenommen und klangspek trogra phiert. Motivgesang. Jedes cJ beherrscht 2-6 verschiedene Gesangsformen, wobei stets eine "Alltagsform" mit der stark vereinfachten Phrase di-djah endigt. Die anderen, weniger haufigeren Gesangsformen ("Sonntagsformen") zeigen eine besser ausgearbeitete Endphrase, die jedoch nie so kompliziert wie bei kontinentalen Buchfinken ist. In Gebieten, in denen sich bevorzugt Kanarienvogel aufhalten, konnen Buchfinken Gesangselemente iibernehmen. Sozialruf. Das kontinentale pink ist auf alIen Azoreninseln durch ga ersetzt, so daB man von einem Rassenruf sprechen kann. Er ist mit starker Aggressionsneigung verkniipft. Der Sozialruf zeigt einen weiten Frequenzumfang, hervorgerufen durch mehrere simultane Noten. Brutstimmungsruf (Regenruf). Eine Anzahl verschiedener Rufe wurde spektrographiert. Vom cJ ist er bei maBiger Gefahr, aber auch spontan (30-70 Rufe/Min.) zu horen. Flugruf. Er scheint mit dem Flugruf der Nominatform identisch zu sein. Bestimmung der Reviergrope. Ein cJ wurde innerhalb seines Reviers an die "akustische Leine" genommen und bis zu den Reviergrenzen gezogen. Verhalten und LautauBerung anderten sich in Abhangigkeit von der jeweiligen Entfernung bis zur Reviergrenze.

In this work, we evaluate the status of both theory and empirical evidence in the field of experimental rest-break research based on a framework that combines mental-chronometry and psychometric-measurement theory. To this end, we (1) provide a taxonomy of rest breaks according to which empirical studies can be classified (e.g., by differentiating between long, short, and micro-rest breaks based on context and temporal properties). Then, we (2) evaluate the theorizing in both the basic and applied fields of research and explain how popular concepts (e.g., ego depletion model, opportunity cost theory, attention restoration theory, action readiness, etc.) relate to each other in contemporary theoretical debates. Here, we highlight differences between all these models in the light of two symbolic categories, termed the resource-based and satiation-based model, including aspects related to the dynamics and the control (strategic or non-strategic) mechanisms at work. Based on a critical assessment of existing methodological and theoretical approaches, we finally (3) provide a set of guidelines for both theory building and future empirical approaches to the experimental study of rest breaks. We conclude that a psychometrically advanced and theoretically focused research of rest and recovery has the potential to finally provide a sound scientific basis to eventually mitigate the adverse effects of ever increasing task demands on performance and well-being in a multitasking world at work and leisure.
Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is an aggressive skin cancer frequently caused by the Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV), and proliferation of MCPyV-positive MCC tumor cells depends on the expression of a virus-encoded truncated Large T antigen (LT) oncoprotein. Here, we asked in which phases of the cell cycle LT activity is required for MCC cell proliferation. Hence, we generated fusion-proteins of MCPyV-LT and parts of geminin (GMMN) or chromatin licensing and DNA replication factor1 (CDT1). This allowed us to ectopically express an LT, which is degraded either in the G1 or G2 phase of the cell cycle, respectively, in MCC cells with inducible T antigen knockdown. We demonstrate that LT expressed only in G1 is capable of rescuing LT knockdown-induced growth suppression while LT expressed in S and G2/M phases fails to support proliferation of MCC cells. These results suggest that the crucial function of LT, which has been demonstrated to be inactivation of the cellular Retinoblastoma protein 1 (RB1) is only required to initiate S phase entry.
Studies with monolingual infants show that the gestural behavior of 1–2-year-olds is a strong predictor for later language competencies and, more specifically, that the absence of index-finger pointing at 12 months seems to be a valid indicator for risk of language delay (LD). In this study a lack of index-finger pointing at 12 months was utilized as diagnostic criterion to identity infants with a high risk for LD at 24 months in a sample of 42 infants growing up bilingually. Results confirm earlier findings from monolinguals showing that 12-month-olds who point with the extended index finger have an advanced language status at 24 months and are less likely language delayed than infants who only point with the whole hand and do not produce index-finger points at 12 months.
For the current study the Lazarian stress-coping theory and the appendant model of psychosocial adjustment to chronic illness and disabilities (Pakenham, 1999) has shaped the foundation for identifying determinants of adjustment to ALS. We aimed to investigate the evolution of psychosocial adjustment to ALS and to determine its long-term predictors. A longitudinal study design with four measurement time points was therefore, used to assess patients' quality of life, depression, and stress-coping model related aspects, such as illness characteristics, social support, cognitive appraisals, and coping strategies during a period of 2 years. Regression analyses revealed that 55% of the variance of severity of depressive symptoms and 47% of the variance in quality of life at T2 was accounted for by all the T1 predictor variables taken together. On the level of individual contributions, protective buffering, and appraisal of own coping potential accounted for a significant percentage in the variance in severity of depressive symptoms, whereas problem management coping strategies explained variance in quality of life scores. Illness characteristics at T2 did not explain any variance of both adjustment outcomes. Overall, the pattern of the longitudinal results indicated stable depressive symptoms and quality of life indices reflecting a successful adjustment to the disease across four measurement time points during a period of about two years. Empirical evidence is provided for the predictive value of social support, cognitive appraisals, and coping strategies, but not illness parameters such as severity and duration for adaptation to ALS. The current study contributes to a better conceptualization of adjustment, allowing us to provide evidence-based support beyond medical and physical intervention for people with ALS.

Background
Simulator training is an effective way of acquiring laparoscopic skills but there remains a need to optimize teaching methods to accelerate learning. We evaluated the effect of the mental exercise ‘deconstruction into key steps’ (DIKS) on the time required to acquire laparoscopic skills.
Methods
A randomized controlled trial with undergraduate medical students was implemented into a structured curricular laparoscopic training course. The intervention group (IG) was trained using the DIKS approach, while the control group (CG) underwent the standard course. Laparoscopic performance of all participants was video-recorded at baseline (t0), after the first session (t1) and after the second session (t2) nine days later. Two double-blinded raters assessed the videos. The Impact of potential covariates on performance (gender, age, prior laparoscopic experience, self-assessed motivation and self-assessed dexterity) was evaluated with a self-report questionnaire.
Results
Both the IG (n = 58) and the CG (n = 68) improved their performance after each training session (p < 0.001) but with notable differences between sessions. Whereas the CG significantly improved their performance from t0 –t1 (p < 0.05), DIKS shortened practical exercise time by 58% so that the IG outperformed the CG from t1 -t2, (p < 0.05). High self-assessed motivation and dexterity associated with significantly better performance (p < 0.05). Male participants demonstrated significantly higher overall performance (p < 0.05).
Conclusion
Mental exercises like DIKS can improve laparoscopic performance and shorten practice times. Given the limited exposure of surgical residents to simulator training, implementation of mental exercises like DIKS is highly recommended. Gender, self-assessed dexterity, and motivation all appreciably influence performance in laparoscopic training.
Background
Dislocations of the elbow are the second most common dislocations of humeral joints following the shoulder. Besides numerous possible concomitant injuries of the collateral ligaments or the extensor or flexor apparatus, an accompanying disruption of the brachial artery is a rare occurrence. In the following, such a case is presented and discussed.
Method
A 70-year-old woman sustained a closed posterior elbow dislocation with accompanying disruption of the brachial artery due to a fall in a domestic environment. Pulselessness of the radial artery led to a computed tomography angiography being performed, which confirmed the diagnosis. Direct operative vascular reconstruction with a vein insert was carried out. Due to strong swelling of the soft tissue, other examinations of the elbow could not be performed initially. A redislocation a few days later led to an operative stabilization of the elbow joint.
Results
The final consultation 4 months postoperatively showed a stable, centered elbow joint and a normal perfusion of the affected arm. The elbow function was good with a range of motion of 0/0/110° of extension/flexion.
Conclusion
An elbow dislocation is a complex injury. An accurate clinical examination of possible concomitant injuries is important and should be repeated in the first few days after the occurrence. Vascular reconstruction should be performed immediately. In the case of persistent joint instability, an operative stabilization is indicated and may be supported by a hinged external fixator.
Background
Research on the needs of people with disability is scarce, which promotes inadequate programs. Community Based Inclusive Development interventions aim to promote rights but demand a high level of community participation. This study aimed to identify prioritized needs as well as lessons learned for successful project implementation in different Latin American communities.
Methods
This study was based on a Community Based Inclusive Development project conducted from 2018 to 2021 led by a Columbian team in Columbia, Brazil and Bolivia. Within a sequential mixed methods design, we first retrospectively analyzed the project baseline data and then conducted Focus Group Discussions, together with ratings of community participation levels. Quantitative descriptive and between group analysis of the baseline survey were used to identify and compare sociodemographic characteristics and prioritized needs of participating communities. We conducted qualitative thematic analysis on Focus Group Discussions, using deductive main categories for triangulation: 1) prioritized needs and 2) lessons learned, with subcategories project impact, facilitators, barriers and community participation. Community participation was assessed via spidergrams. Key findings were compared with triangulation protocols.
Results
A total of 348 people with disability from 6 urban settings participated in the baseline survey, with a mean age of 37.6 years (SD 23.8). Out of these, 18 participated within the four Focus Group Discussions. Less than half of the survey participants were able to read and calculate (42.0%) and reported knowledge on health care routes (46.0%). Unemployment (87.9%) and inadequate housing (57.8%) were other prioritized needs across countries. Focus Group Discussions revealed needs within health, education, livelihood, social and empowerment domains.
Participants highlighted positive project impact in work inclusion, self-esteem and ability for self-advocacy. Facilitators included individual leadership, community networks and previous reputation of participating organizations. Barriers against successful project implementation were inadequate contextualization, lack of resources and on-site support, mostly due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The overall level of community participation was high (mean score 4.0/5) with lower levels in Brazil (3.8/5) and Bolivia (3.2/5).
Conclusion
People with disability still face significant needs. Community Based Inclusive Development can initiate positive changes, but adequate contextualization and on-site support should be assured.
Background
Colorectal cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. The best method to prevent CRC is a colonoscopy. However, not all colon polyps have the risk of becoming cancerous. Therefore, polyps are classified using different classification systems. After the classification, further treatment and procedures are based on the classification of the polyp. Nevertheless, classification is not easy. Therefore, we suggest two novel automated classifications system assisting gastroenterologists in classifying polyps based on the NICE and Paris classification.
Methods
We build two classification systems. One is classifying polyps based on their shape (Paris). The other classifies polyps based on their texture and surface patterns (NICE). A two-step process for the Paris classification is introduced: First, detecting and cropping the polyp on the image, and secondly, classifying the polyp based on the cropped area with a transformer network. For the NICE classification, we design a few-shot learning algorithm based on the Deep Metric Learning approach. The algorithm creates an embedding space for polyps, which allows classification from a few examples to account for the data scarcity of NICE annotated images in our database.
Results
For the Paris classification, we achieve an accuracy of 89.35 %, surpassing all papers in the literature and establishing a new state-of-the-art and baseline accuracy for other publications on a public data set. For the NICE classification, we achieve a competitive accuracy of 81.13 % and demonstrate thereby the viability of the few-shot learning paradigm in polyp classification in data-scarce environments. Additionally, we show different ablations of the algorithms. Finally, we further elaborate on the explainability of the system by showing heat maps of the neural network explaining neural activations.
Conclusion
Overall we introduce two polyp classification systems to assist gastroenterologists. We achieve state-of-the-art performance in the Paris classification and demonstrate the viability of the few-shot learning paradigm in the NICE classification, addressing the prevalent data scarcity issues faced in medical machine learning.
