Die Arbeitslosenquote von Akademikern pendelt sich ein halbes Jahr nach dem Examen bei f{\"u}nf Prozent ein. Bei Absolventen einer Lehre liegt sie dagegen doppelt so hoch. Doch auch f{\"u}r Akademiker ist der Einstieg ins Berufsleben kein Selbstl{\"a}ufer mehr. Mit nichts als eingleisigem Fachwissen als Kapital haben es auch Akademiker inzwischen schwer, denn der Arbeitsmarkt hat sich in den letzten Jahren stark ver{\"a}ndert. Welche Ver{\"a}nderungen das sind und wie man am besten darauf reagiert, beleuchtet die Rubrik "wissenstransfer". Das man an der Universit{\"a}t Potsdarn mehr als reines Fachwissen erwerben kann, zeigen die Berichte der Alumni {\"u}ber ihren Berufsweg in der Rubrik "umbr{\"u}che". Von geradlinigen Entwicklungen ist da zu lesen, von entt{\"a}uschten Erwartungen und ergriffenen Chancen. Sie dokumentieren, wie Br{\"u}che im beruflichen Werdegang zwar manchen vom geplanten Weg abkommen ließen, doch auf den pers{\"o}nlich richtigen Pfad fuhrten. Wer sich gerade in der Phase der beruflichen Neuorientierung befindet, oder gerade erst ins Arbeitsleben startet, findet Tipps und Adressen im "wegweiser".

This article provides a global overview of groundwater arsenic contamination in the BDP region, especially the sources, speciation, and mobility of arsenic, and critically reviews the effects of arsenic on human health.

Objectives Considering the ongoing trend of delaying childbirth in our society, this study investigates potential additive effects of nicotine consumption during pregnancy and advanced maternal age on foetal growth. Sample and Methods In a medical record-based study, we analysed the impact of maternal age and smoking behaviour before and during pregnancy on newborn size among 4142 singleton births that took place in Vienna, Austria between 1990 and 1995. Results Birth weight (H=82.176, p<0.001), birth length (H=91.525, p<0.001) and head circumference (H=42.097, p<0.001) differed significantly according to maternal smoking behaviour. For birth weight, the adjusted mean differences between smokers and non-smokers increased from 101.8g for the < 18-year-old mothers to 254.8g for >35 year olds, with the respective values for birth length being 0.6 cm to 0.7cm, for head circumference from 0.3 cm to 0.6 cm. Conclusion Increasing maternal age amplified the negative effects of smoking during pregnancy on newborn parameters. Our findings identify older smoking mothers as a high-risk group which should be of special interest for public health systems.}, language = {en} } @misc{RebekkaMummReimannScheffler2021, author = {Rebekka Mumm, and Reimann, Anna and Scheffler, Christiane}, title = {Estimation of percentage of body fat in field studies - a method based on relative elbow breadth (Frame Index) and BMI}, series = {Human Biology and Public Health}, volume = {2021}, journal = {Human Biology and Public Health}, number = {1}, editor = {Scheffler, Christiane and Koziel, Slawomir and Hermanussen, Michael and Bogin, Barry}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, issn = {2748-9957}, doi = {10.52905/hbph.v1.3}, pages = {1 -- 12}, year = {2021}, abstract = {Background Over the last 20 years, a decreasing trend in external skeletal robusticity and an increasing trend in overweight and obesity was observed worldwide in adults and children as modern lifestyles in nutritional and activity behavior have changed. However, body mass index (BMI) as a measure for overweight is not an ideal predictor of \% body fat (\%BF) either in children and adolescents or in adults. On the contrary, it disguises a phenomenon called "hidden obesity". Objectives We aim to approximate \%BF by combining skeletal robusticity and BMI and develop an estimation-based tool to identify normal weight obese children and adolescents. Sample and Methods We analyzed cross-sectional data on height, weight, elbow breadth, and skinfold thickness (triceps and subscapular) of German children aged 6 to 18 years (N=15,034). We used modified Hattori charts and multiple linear regression to develop a tool, the "\%BF estimator", to estimate \%BF by using BMI and skeletal robusticity measured as Frame Index. Results Independent of sex and age an increase in BMI is associated with an increase in \%BF, an increase in Frame Index is associated with a decrease in \%BF. The developed tool "\%BF estimator" allows the estimation of \%BF per sex and age group after calculation of BMI and Frame Index. Conclusion The "\%BF estimator" is an easily applicable tool for the estimation of \%BF in respect of body composition for clinical practice, screening, and public health research. It is non-invasive and has high accuracy. Further, it allows the identification of normal weight obese children and adolescents.}, language = {en} } @misc{PotterGardnerToscanoetal.2023, author = {Potter, Amanda and Gardner, Hunter H. and Toscano, Margaret Merrill and Foster, Frances and Lovatt, Helen and Strong, Anise K. and Siegel, Janice and Skibinski, Connie and Mart{\´i}nez Jim{\´e}nez, Javier and Maurice, Lisa}, title = {Classics and the supernatural in modern media}, series = {thersites}, volume = {2023}, journal = {thersites}, number = {17}, editor = {Potter, Amanda and Gardner, Hunter H.}, issn = {2364-7612}, doi = {10.34679/thersites.vol17}, year = {2023}, language = {en} } @misc{MatzPaprockiCristinietal.2022, author = {Matz, Alicia and Paprocki, Maciej and Cristini, Marco and Pezzini, Giuseppe and Capra, Elena Sofia and Kambo, Kevin and Oughton, Charles W. and Chinn, Christopher and Thompson, Phoebe and Praet, Raf and Stutz, Kathryn H. and Keen, Tony and Beck, Christian}, title = {There and Back Again: Tolkien and the Greco-Roman World}, series = {thersites}, volume = {2022}, journal = {thersites}, number = {15}, editor = {Amb{\"u}hl, Annemarie and Carl{\`a}-Uhink, Filippo and Rollinger, Christian and Walde, Christine}, issn = {2364-7612}, doi = {10.34679/thersites.vol15}, year = {2022}, language = {en} } @misc{Kraemer2015, author = {Kr{\"a}mer, Raimund}, title = {Polen in Europa}, series = {WeltTrends : Zeitschrift f{\"u}r internationale Politik}, volume = {2015}, journal = {WeltTrends : Zeitschrift f{\"u}r internationale Politik}, number = {100}, publisher = {WeltTrends}, address = {Babelsberg}, issn = {0944-8101}, pages = {144}, year = {2015}, abstract = {Bei unseren {\"o}stlichen Nachbarn werden derzeit mehrere Jubil{\"a}en zelebriert: 25 Jahre politischer Umbruch, 15 Jahre Mitgliedschaft in der NATO und 10 Jahre in der EU.
