Eczema often precedes the development of asthma in a disease course called the 'atopic march'. To unravel the genes underlying this characteristic pattern of allergic disease, we conduct a multi-stage genome-wide association study on infantile eczema followed by childhood asthma in 12 populations including 2,428 cases and 17,034 controls. Here we report two novel loci specific for the combined eczema plus asthma phenotype, which are associated with allergic disease for the first time; rs9357733 located in EFHC1 on chromosome 6p12.3 (OR 1.27; P = 2.1 x 10(-8)) and rs993226 between TMTC2 and SLC6A15 on chromosome 12q21.3 (OR 1.58; P = 5.3 x 10(-9)). Additional susceptibility loci identified at genome-wide significance are FLG (1q21.3), IL4/KIF3A (5q31.1), AP5B1/OVOL1 (11q13.1), C11orf30/LRRC32 (11q13.5) and IKZF3 (17q21). We show that predominantly eczema loci increase the risk for the atopic march. Our findings suggest that eczema may play an important role in the development of asthma after eczema.
Face processing can be explored using electrophysiological methods. Research with event-related potentials has demonstrated the so-called face inversion effect, in which the N170 component is enhanced in amplitude and latency to inverted, compared to upright, faces. The present study explored the extent to which repetitive lower-level visual cortical engagement, reflected in flicker steady-state visual evoked potentials (ssVEPs), shows similar amplitude enhancement to face inversion. We also asked if inversion-related ssVEP modulation would be dependent on the stimulation rate at which upright and inverted faces were flickered. To this end, multiple tagging frequencies were used (5, 10, 15, and 20 Hz) across two studies (n=21, n=18). Results showed that amplitude enhancement of the ssVEP for inverted faces was found solely at higher stimulation frequencies (15 and 20 Hz). By contrast, lower frequency ssVEPs did not show this inversion effect. These findings suggest that stimulation frequency affects the sensitivity of ssVEPs to face inversion.
Plattform für das integrierte Management von Kollaborationen in Wertschöpfungsnetzwerken (PIMKoWe)
(2022)
Das Verbundprojekt „Plattform für das integrierte Management von Kollaborationen in Wertschöpfungsnetzwerken“ (PIMKoWe – Förderkennzeichen „02P17D160“) ist ein Forschungsvorhaben im Rahmen des Forschungsprogramms „Innovationen für die Produktion, Dienstleistung und Arbeit von morgen“ der Bekanntmachung „Industrie 4.0 – Intelligente Kollaborationen in dynamischen Wertschöpfungs-netzwerken“ (InKoWe). Das Forschungsvorhaben wurde mit Mitteln des Bundesministeriums für Bildung und Forschung (BMBF) gefördert und durch den Projektträger des Karlsruher Instituts für Technologie (PTKA) betreut.
Ziel des Forschungsprojekts PIMKoWe ist die Entwicklung und Bereitstellung einer Plattformlösung zur Flexibilisierung, Automatisierung und Absicherung von Kooperationen in Wertschöpfungsnetzwerken des industriellen Sektors.
