Background: The role of spatial semantics in language understanding is assumed by modern cognition theories and confirmed in experimental studies. Hypotheses: Based on conceptual metaphor theory, a number of hypotheses are proposed in the present study: different semantic categories of nouns (e.g., tools vs. animals vs. emotions etc.) should significantly differ in their spatial semantics as well; different semantic categories of abstract nouns (e.g., mental states vs. emotions vs. physical sensations) should also differ in their spatial semantics, as the latter is included in their conceptual structure; mental states and phenomena (e.g., imagination, thought or memory) should have higher values (i.e., be located higher in the virtual subjective space) than any other abstract concepts; emotional concepts (e.g., love, disgust or happiness) should be located higher than physical sensations (e.g., pain or softness); positive emotions (like joy or euphoria) should be located higher than negative ones (like feeling of guilt or disappointment). Methods: Statistical methods (parametric and non-parametric ones) are used in order to test the hypotheses. As additional cross-testing methods corpora data and expert assessment are included. Results: The results of the study confirmed all the hypotheses. A number of additional regularities were revealed: in general, abstract concepts get higher values on a scale, i.e., are located higher in the virtual subjective space than concrete ones; tool concepts are related more to the lower space, unlike sound concepts that are related to higher space. No difference was found between action concepts (like attack or running) and physical sensations. Discussion: The results obtained can also be explained in terms of other theories within the embodied cognition framework, as it is discussed in the conclusion (words as social tools by A. Borghi and F. Binkofski; ideas by G. Vigliocco and neurosemantic approach by F. Pulvermuller). The need in an integrative model and larger studies with other semantic categories is underlined.}, language = {ru} } @incollection{PeineBickenbach2017, author = {Peine, Franz-Joseph and Bickenbach, Christian}, title = {\S 6 Bauordnungsrecht, Recht der Raumordnung und Landesplanung}, series = {Landesrecht Brandenburg : Studienbuch}, booktitle = {Landesrecht Brandenburg : Studienbuch}, publisher = {Nomos}, address = {Baden-Baden}, isbn = {978-3-8487-2828-2}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {257 -- 309}, year = {2017}, language = {de} } @incollection{Schmidt2017, author = {Schmidt, Thorsten Ingo}, title = {\S 4 Kommunalrecht}, series = {Landesrecht Brandenburg : Studienbuch}, booktitle = {Landesrecht Brandenburg : Studienbuch}, publisher = {Nomos}, address = {Baden-Baden}, isbn = {978-3-8487-2828-2}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {103 -- 204}, year = {2017}, language = {de} } @article{Mitsch2017, author = {Mitsch, Wolfgang}, title = {\S 24 Ordnungswidrigkeiten}, series = {Jugendmedienschutz-Staatsvertrag}, journal = {Jugendmedienschutz-Staatsvertrag}, publisher = {Nomos}, address = {Baden-Baden}, isbn = {978-3-8329-6198-5}, pages = {443 -- 469}, year = {2017}, language = {de} } @article{Mitsch2017, author = {Mitsch, Wolfgang}, title = {\S 23 Strafbestimmung}, series = {Jugendmedienschutz-Staatsvertrag}, journal = {Jugendmedienschutz-Staatsvertrag}, publisher = {Nomos}, address = {Baden-Baden}, isbn = {978-3-8329-6198-5}, pages = {421 -- 443}, year = {2017}, language = {de} } @phdthesis{Marschall2017, author = {Marschall, Talke Anu}, title = {Zytotoxizit{\"a}t, Bioverf{\"u}gbarkeit und Metabolismus kleiner Selenspezies in humanen Zellen und Entwicklung von ICP-QQQ-MS-basierten Methoden f{\"u}r deren Nachweis}, school = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {115, VI}, year = {2017}, language = {de} } @article{Ippolito2017, author = {Ippolito, Antonella}, title = {Zwischen fanatsia und ingegno.

Early Precambrian rocks were previously reported from several metamorphic complexes in the Kyrgyz Tianshan orogenic belt, mainly based on multigrain conventional zircon dating, but the present study only confirmed such rocks at one site, namely in the Kuilyu Complex of eastern Kyrgyzstan. New single grain SHRIMP II zircon ages, geochemical data, and whole-rock Nd isotopic compositions for granitoid gneisses of the Kuilyu Complex elucidate the age, origin and tectonic settings of this oldest continental fragment in the Tianshan. The Kuilyu Complex is part of the basement in the Ishim - Middle Tianshan microcontinent. It consist of a strongly deformed and metamorphosed supracrustal assemblage of paragneisses and schists which are tectonically interlayered with amphibolites, migmatites and granitoid gneisses. Our zircon dating indicates that the Kuilyu Complex contains two suites of Palaeoproterozoic granitoid gneisses with magmatic protolith ages of ca. 2.32-2.33 Ga and 1.85 Ga. Granitoid magmatism at 1.85 Ga was almost immediately followed by amphibolite-facies metamorphism at ca 1.83 Ga, evidenced by growth of metamorphic zircon rims. The older, ca 2.3 Ga granitoid gneisses chemically correspond to calc-alkaline, metaluminous, I-type magnesian quartz diorite and granodiorite. The protolith of the younger, ca. 1.85 Ga granite-gneiss is an alkalic-calcic, metaluminous to peraluminous, ferroan medium-grained porphyric granite with chemical features resembling A-type granites. The 2.3 Ga and 1.85 Ga granitoid gneisses have slightly to distinctly negative initial epsilon(Nd) values of -1.2 and -6.6, and similar depleted mantle Nd model ages of 2.7-2.6 Ga, which imply melting of Neoarchaean continental crust. The zircon age patterns of the Kuilyu Complex resemble those of exposed rocks in the Tarim Craton, where episodes of granitoid magmatism at ca. 2.3-2.4 and 1.85 Ga, followed by amphibolite-facies metamorphism at ca 1.85 Ga, are also recorded. Similarities in the early Precambrian magmatic and metamorphic episodes as well as similar histories during the Neoproterozoic and early Palaeozoic suggest that the Ishim-Middle Tianshan microcontinent was rifted off the Tarim Craton. Similar age patterns also suggest possible tectonic links of the Kuilyu and Tarim continental blocks with the Baidrag Block of central Mongolia. In contrast, substantial differences in age and Precambrian evolution between the Anrakhai block of southern Kazakhstan and the Kuilyu Complex argue against a previous connection and suggest the former to represent an independent continental terrane. Current data show that early Precambrian rocks in the western CAOB outside Tarim only occur at two sites, namely in the Anrakhai Complex of southern Kazakhstan and in the Kuilyu Complex of eastern Kyrgyzstan.

We analysed the energy-resolved light curve and the time-resolved X-ray spectra provided by the EPIC cameras on board XMM-Newton. We also analysed the first high-resolution spectrum of this source provided by the Reflection Grating Spectrometer. Results. An X-ray pulse of 9350 +/- 160 s was measured. Comparison with previous measurements confirms the secular spin up of this source. We successfully fit the pulse-phase-resolved spectra with Comptonisation models. These models imply a very small (r similar to 3 km) and hot (kT similar to 2-3 keV) emitting region and therefore point to a hot spot over the neutron star (NS) surface as the most reliable explanation for the X-ray pulse. The long NS spin period, the spin-up rate, and persistent X-ray emission can be explained within the theory of quasi-spherical settling accretion, which may indicate that the magnetic field is in the magnetar range. Thus, 4U0114+65 could be a wind-accreting magnetar. We also observed two episodes of low luminosity. The first was only observed in the low-energy light curve and can be explained as an absorption by a large over-dense structure in the wind of the B1 supergiant donor. The second episode, which was deeper and affected all energies, may be due to temporal cessation of accretion onto one magnetic pole caused by non-spherical matter capture from the structured stellar wind. The light curve displays two types of dips that are clearly seen during the high-flux intervals. The short dips, with durations of tens of seconds, are produced through absorption by wind clumps. The long dips, in turn, seem to be associated with the rarefied interclump medium. From the analysis of the X-ray spectra, we found evidence of emission lines in the X-ray photoionised wind of the B1Ia donor. The Fe K alpha line was found to be highly variable and much weaker than in other X-ray binaries with supergiant donors. The degree of wind clumping, measured through the covering fraction, was found to be much lower than in supergiant donor stars with earlier spectral types. Conclusions. The XMM-Newton spectroscopy provided further support for the magnetar nature of the neutron star in 4U0114+65. The light curve presents dips that can be associated with clumps and the interclump medium in the stellar wind of the mass donor.}, language = {en} } @article{MiedemaMitznerGanschowetal.2017, author = {Miedema, P.

These objects are consequently candidates for non-thermal emission. Our aim is to investigate the X-ray emission from these sources. We observed with XMM-Newton a sample of five bow shock runaways, which constitutes a significant improvement of the sample of bow shock runaways studied in X-rays so far. A careful analysis of the data did not reveal any X-ray emission related to the bow shocks. However, X-ray emission from the stars is detected, in agreement with the expected thermal emission from stellar winds. On the basis of background measurements we derive conservative upper limits between 0.3 and 10 keV on the bow shocks emission. Using a simple radiation model, these limits together with radio upper limits allow us to constrain some of the main physical quantities involved in the non-thermal emission processes, such as the magnetic field strength and the amount of incident infrared photons. The reasons likely responsible for the non-detection of non-thermal radiation are discussed. Finally, using energy budget arguments, we investigate the detectability of inverse Compton X-rays in a more extended sample of catalogued runaway star bow shocks. From our analysis we conclude that a clear identification of non-thermal X-rays from massive runaway bow shocks requires one order of magnitude (or higher) sensitivity improvement with respect to present observatories.}, language = {en} } @article{Belling2017, author = {Belling, Detlev W.}, title = {W{\"u}rdigung von Dr. Joachim G{\"a}rtner}, series = {studere : Rechtszeitschrift der Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, volume = {2017}, journal = {studere : Rechtszeitschrift der Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, number = {18}, publisher = {studere e.V.}, address = {Potsdam}, issn = {1867-6170}, pages = {4 -- 4}, year = {2017}, language = {de} } @article{MunozMoffatHilletal.2017, author = {Munoz, Melissa and Moffat, Anthony F.

Heterogeneous people in medical rehabilitation, who were due to return to work, were interviewed concerning their work-anxieties, and either randomly assigned to a WAG (n=85) or a RG (n=95).

A similar shift was observed in the power increase of gamma oscillations (30-50 Hz), which had an earlier onset for /p/ trials (similar to 150 ms before vocal onset). This 40-ms shift is consistent with the length of the voiced proportion of the acoustic signal prior to the release of the closure in the vocal responses. These results demonstrate that phonetic features are an important parameter affecting response-locked ERPs, and hence that the onset of the acoustic energy may not be an optimal trigger for synchronizing the EEG activity to the response in vocal paradigms.

Twenty-six male adolescent soccer players ( 13.9 +/- 0.3 years) participated in an 8-week training program that either alternated individual balance (e. g., exercises on unstable surfaces) and plyometric (e. g., jumps, hops, rebounds) exercises or performed a block of balance exercises prior to a block of plyometric exercises within each training session. Pre- and post-training measures included proxies of strength, power, agility, sprint, and balance such as countermovement jumps, isometric back and knee extension strength, standing long jump, 10 and 30-m sprints, agility, standing stork, and Y-balance tests. Both groups exhibited significant, generally large magnitude (effect sizes) training improvements for all measures with mean performance increases of approximately > 30\%.

For example, the predominantly warm Medieval Climate Anomaly (MCA) and the following cold period of the Little Ice Age (LIA) over Europe have been associated with long-lasting phases with a positive and negative NAO index. Its climatic imprint is especially pronounced in European winter seasons. However, little is known about the influence of NAO with respect to its eastern extent over the Eurasian continent. Here we present speleothem records (PC, 8180 and Sr/Ca) from the southern rim of Fergana Basin (Central Asia) revealing annually resolved past climate variations during the last millennium. The age control of the stalagmite relies on radiocarbon dating as large amounts of detrital material inhibit accurate 230Th dating. Present-day calcification of the stalagmite is most effective during spring when the cave atmosphere and elevated water supply by snow melting and high amount of spring precipitation provide optimal conditions. Seasonal precipitation variations cause changes of the stable isotope and Sr/ Ca compositions. The simultaneous changes in these geochemical proxies, however, give also evidence for fractionation processes in the cave. By disentangling both processes, we demonstrate that the amount of winter precipitation during the MCA was generally higher than during the LIA, which is in line with climatic changes linked to the NAO index but opposite to the higher mountain records of Central Asia. Several events of strongly reduced winter precipitation are observed during the LIA in Central Asia. These dry winter events can be related to phases of a strong negative NAO index and all results reveal that winter precipitation over the central Eurasian continent is tightly linked to atmospheric NAO modes by the westerly wind systems.

The H latitudes (30 degrees-45 degrees) are highly significantly correlated with the strength of the wings (quantified by the total sum of the monthly numbers of sunspot groups). The F latitudes (20 degrees-30 degrees) depict a weak tendency, especially in the southern hemisphere, to follow the wing strength. The L latitudes (2 degrees-10 degrees) show no clear relation to the wing strength. Overall, stronger cycle wings tend to start at higher latitudes and have a greater wing extent. A strong (5-6)-cycle periodic oscillation is found in the start and end times of the wings and in the overlap and gaps between successive wings of one hemisphere. While the average wing overlap is zero in the southern hemisphere, it is two to three months in the north.

We analyzed temporal trends of Fe concentrations across 340 water bodies distributed over 10 countries in northern Europe and North America in order to gain a clearer understanding of where, to what extent, and why Fe concentrations are on the rise. We found that Fe concentrations have significantly increased in 28\% of sites, and decreased in 4\%, with most positive trends located in northern Europe. Regions with rising Fe concentrations tend to coincide with those with organic carbon (OC) increases. Fe and OC increases may not be directly mechanistically linked, but may nevertheless be responding to common regional-scale drivers such as declining sulfur deposition or hydrological changes. A role of hydrological factors was supported by covarying trends in Fe and dissolved silica, as these elements tend to stem from similar soil depths. A positive relationship between Fe increases and conifer cover suggests that changing land use and expanded forestry could have contributed to enhanced Fe export, although increases were also observed in nonforested areas. We conclude that the phenomenon of increasing Fe concentrations is widespread, especially in northern Europe, with potentially significant implications for wider ecosystem biogeochemistry, and for the current browning of freshwaters.}, language = {en} } @incollection{Mackert2017, author = {Mackert, J{\"u}rgen}, title = {Why we need a new political economy of citizenship: neo-liberalism, the bank crisis and the 'Panama Papers'}, series = {The Transformation of Citizenship : Political Economy}, booktitle = {The Transformation of Citizenship : Political Economy}, number = {1}, publisher = {Routledge Taylor}, address = {London}, isbn = {978-1-138-67290-1 (print)}, pages = {99 -- 117}, year = {2017}, language = {en} } @article{KrasnovaVeltriElingetal.2017, author = {Krasnova, Hanna and Veltri, Natasha F. and Eling, Nicole and Buxmann, Peter}, title = {Why men and women continue to use social networking sites}, series = {The journal of strategic information systems : incorporating International Information Systems}, volume = {26}, journal = {The journal of strategic information systems : incorporating International Information Systems}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {0963-8687}, doi = {10.1016/j.jsis.2017.01.004}, pages = {261 -- 284}, year = {2017}, abstract = {Organizations increasingly use social media and especially social networking sites (SNS) to support their marketing agenda, enhance collaboration, and develop new capabilities.

Our survey of 488 users shows that while both men and women are motivated by the ability to self enhance, there are some gender differences. Specifically, while women are mainly driven by relational uses, such as maintaining close ties and getting access to social information on close and distant networks, men base their continuance intentions on their ability to gain information of a general nature. Our research makes several contributions to the discourse in strategic information systems literature concerning the use of social media by individuals and organizations. Theoretically, it expands the understanding of the phenomenon of continuance intentions and specifically the role of the gender differences in its determinants. On a practical level, it delivers insights for SNS providers and marketers into how satisfaction and continuance intentions of male and female SNS users can be differentially promoted. Furthermore, as organizations increasingly rely on corporate social networks to foster collaboration and innovation, our insights deliver initial recommendations on how organizational social media initiatives can be supported with regard to gender-based differences.}, language = {en} } @misc{HocherYin2017, author = {Hocher, Berthold and Yin, Lianghong}, title = {Why Current PTH Assays Mislead Clinical Decision Making in Patients with Secondary Hyperparathyroidism}, series = {Nephron}, volume = {136}, journal = {Nephron}, number = {2}, publisher = {Karger}, address = {Basel}, issn = {1660-8151}, doi = {10.1159/000455289}, pages = {137 -- 142}, year = {2017}, abstract = {Preclinical studies in cell culture systems as well as in whole animal chronic kidney disease (CKD) models showed that parathyroid hormone (PTH), oxidized at the 2 methionine residues (positions 8 and 18), caused a loss of function.

In this study we analysed the processes underlying the spatio-temporal patterns of tidal marsh vegetation in the Elbe estuary and quantified the influence of specific habitat factors by developing and applying the process-based dynamic habitat-macrophyte model HaMac in a pattern-oriented way. In order to develop and parameterise the model, we measured a wide range of biotic and abiotic parameters in two study sites in the Elbe estuary and compared observed and simulated patterns. The final model is able to reproduce the general patterns of vegetation zonation, development and growth and thus helps to understand the underlying processes. By considering the vegetative reproduction of marsh plants as well as abiotic influence factors and intraspecific competition, HaMac allowed to systematically analyse the significance of factors and processes for the dynamic of tidal marsh vegetation. Our results show that rhizome growth is the most important process and that flow velocity, inundation height and duration as well as intraspecific competition are the most important habitat factors for explaining spatio-temporal dynamics of brackish marshes. Future applications of HaMac could support the sustainable development and stabilisation of shore zones and thus contribute to the promotion and planning of ecosystem -based shoreline protection measures.

Still, our understanding of how environmental drivers shape plant communities is mostly based on above-ground diversity patterns, bypassing below-ground plant diversity stored in seed banks. As seed banks may shape above-ground plant communities, we question whether concurrently analysing the above- and below-ground species assemblages may potentially enhance our understanding of community responses to environmental variation. LocationTemperate deciduous forests along a 2000km latitudinal gradient in NW Europe. MethodsHerb layer, seed bank and local environmental data including soil pH, canopy cover, forest cover continuity and time since last canopy disturbance were collected in 129 temperate deciduous forest plots. We quantified herb layer and seed bank diversity per plot and evaluated how environmental variation structured community diversity in the herb layer, seed bank and the combined herb layer-seed bank community. ResultsSeed banks consistently held more plant species than the herb layer. How local plot diversity was partitioned across the herb layer and seed bank was mediated by environmental variation in drivers serving as proxies of light availability. The herb layer and seed bank contained an ever smaller and ever larger share of local diversity, respectively, as both canopy cover and time since last canopy disturbance decreased. Species richness and -diversity of the combined herb layer-seed bank community responded distinctly differently compared to the separate assemblages in response to environmental variation in, e.g. forest cover continuity and canopy cover. ConclusionsThe seed bank is a below-ground diversity reservoir of the herbaceous forest community, which interacts with the herb layer, although constrained by environmental variation in e.g. light availability. The herb layer and seed bank co-exist as a single community by means of the so-called storage effect, resulting in distinct responses to environmental variation not necessarily recorded in the individual herb layer or seed bank assemblages.

This type of approach has recently been developed as an alternative to top-down approaches for the assessment of climate change impacts. A major limitation of this approach is the underrepresentation of changes in the temporal structure of the climate input data (i.e., the seasonal and day-to-day variability) since this is not altered by the perturbation. This paper presents a framework that aims to examine this limitation by perturbing both observed and projected climate data time series for a future period, which both serve as input into a hydrological model (the HBV model). The resulting multiple response surfaces are compared at a common domain, the standardized runoff response surface (SRRS). We apply this approach in a case study catchment in Norway to (i) analyze possible changes in mean and extreme runoff and (ii) quantify the influence of changes in the temporal structure represented by 17 different climate input sets using linear mixed-effect models. Results suggest that climate change induced increases in mean and peak flow runoff and only small changes in low flow. They further suggest that the effect of the different temporal structures of the climate input data considerably affects low flows and floods (at least 21\% influence), while it is negligible for mean runoff.}, language = {en} } @article{EndrejatBaumgartenKauffeld2017, author = {Endrejat, Paul C. and Baumgarten, Franz and Kauffeld, Simone}, title = {When theory meets practice}, series = {Journal of Change Management}, volume = {17}, journal = {Journal of Change Management}, number = {2}, publisher = {Routledge, Taylor \& Francis Group}, address = {Abingdon}, issn = {1469-7017}, doi = {10.1080/14697017.2017.1299372}, pages = {101 -- 120}, year = {2017}, abstract = {Although more than seven decades have passed since Lewin laid the foundation for how employees' behaviour could be changed within organizations, his ideas are far from being obsolescent.

The two-step task allows distinguishing between these mechanisms by computationally modeling goal-directed and habitual behavior as model-based and model-free control. In addicted patients, decision making may also strongly depend upon drug-associated expectations. Therefore, we investigated model-based versus model-free decision making and its neural correlates as well as alcohol expectancies in alcohol-dependent patients and healthy controls and assessed treatment outcome in patients. METHODS: Ninety detoxified, medication-free, alcohol-dependent patients and 96 age-and gender-matched control subjects underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging during the two-step task. Alcohol expectancies were measured with the Alcohol Expectancy Questionnaire. Over a follow-up period of 48 weeks, 37 patients remained abstinent and 53 patients relapsed as indicated by the Alcohol Timeline Followback method. RESULTS: Patients who relapsed displayed reduced medial prefrontal cortex activation during model-based decision making. Furthermore, high alcohol expectancies were associated with low model-based control in relapsers, while the opposite was observed in abstainers and healthy control subjects. However, reduced model-based control per se was not associated with subsequent relapse. CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that poor treatment outcome in alcohol dependence does not simply result from a shift from model-based to model-free control but is instead dependent on the interaction between high drug expectancies and low model-based decision making. Reduced model-based medial prefrontal cortex signatures in those who relapse point to a neural correlate of relapse risk.

In the future, climate change could further enhance this trend. Still, empirical and comprehensive insights into individual recovery from natural hazards are largely lacking, hampering efforts to increase societal resilience. Drawing from a sample of 710 residents affected by flooding across Germany in June 2013, we empirically explore a wide range of variables possibly influencing self-reported recovery, including flood-event characteristics, the circumstances of the recovery process, socio-economic characteristics, and psychological factors, using multivariate statistics. We found that the amount of damage and other flood-event characteristics such as inundation depth are less important than socio-economic characteristics (e.g., sex or health status) and psychological factors (e.g., risk aversion and emotions). Our results indicate that uniform recovery efforts focusing on areas that were the most affected in terms of physical damage are insufficient to account for the heterogeneity in individual recovery results. To increase societal resilience, aid and recovery efforts should better address the long-term psychological effects of floods.}, language = {en} } @article{NiedSchroeterLuedtkeetal.2017, author = {Nied, Manuela and Schr{\"o}ter, Kai and L{\"u}dtke, Stefan and Nguyen, Viet Dung and Merz, Bruno}, title = {What are the hydro-meteorological controls on flood characteristics?}, series = {Journal of hydrology}, volume = {545}, journal = {Journal of hydrology}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {0022-1694}, doi = {10.1016/j.jhydrol.2016.12.003}, pages = {310 -- 326}, year = {2017}, abstract = {Flood events can be expressed by a variety of characteristics such as flood magnitude and extent, event duration or incurred loss. Flood estimation and management may benefit from understanding how the different flood characteristics relate to the hydrological catchment conditions preceding the event and to the meteorological conditions throughout the event. In this study, we therefore propose a methodology to investigate the hydro-meteorological controls on different flood characteristics, based on the simulation of the complete flood risk chain from the flood triggering precipitation event, through runoff generation in the catchment, flood routing and possible inundation in the river system and floodplains to flood loss. Conditional cumulative distribution functions and regression tree analysis delineate the seasonal varying flood processes and indicate that the effect of the hydrological pre-conditions, i.e. soil moisture patterns, and of the meteorological conditions, i.e. weather patterns, depends on the considered flood characteristic. The methodology is exemplified for the Elbe catchment. In this catchment, the length of the build-up period, the event duration and the number of gauges undergoing at least a 10-year flood are governed by weather patterns. The affected length and the number of gauges undergoing at least a 2-year flood are however governed by soil moisture patterns. In case of flood severity and loss, the controlling factor is less pronounced. Severity is slightly governed by soil moisture patterns whereas loss is slightly governed by weather patterns. The study highlights that flood magnitude and extent arise from different flood generation processes and concludes that soil moisture patterns as well as weather patterns are not only beneficial to inform on possible flood occurrence but also on the involved flood processes and resulting flood characteristics.}, language = {en} } @article{Ette2017, author = {Ette, Ottmar}, title = {Welterleben/Weiterleben}, series = {Daphnis : Zeitschrift f{\"u}r mittlere deutsche Literatur}, volume = {45}, journal = {Daphnis : Zeitschrift f{\"u}r mittlere deutsche Literatur}, number = {3-4}, publisher = {Editions Rodopi BV}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {0300-693X}, doi = {10.1163/18796583-04503002}, pages = {343 -- 388}, year = {2017}, abstract = {Welterleben and Weiterleben are what determine the second globalization (of four previously explored) whose constantly accelerating dynamic, vectorization, this essay explores.

The notion of 'vectopia' stands for the connection of utopia and uchronia in space and time in such a way that the experience of the world, expanded worldwide, contains within it a Weiter-Leben, a 'living-further' that is to be understood first in a spatial, and not yet temporal, sense, of what Forster called Erfahrungswissen, or 'experiential knowledge.' Vectopia, as elaborated here, has a material dimension that relates to the physical person, the body, the experience of the world that cannot occur without the constant changing of place, without a journeying that is again and again recommenced. Vectopia develops the projection of a life not from space or from time alone, but by their combination. Vectopia is more than a concept, it is a thought-figure: it is vitally connected to life, and thus a life-figure. It opens itself to a type of knowledge that stands almost at the threshold of a further life, indeed, of a Weiterleben that, opening itself to a 'living-onward,' resides beyond space, time, and movement.}, language = {en} } @incollection{NiproschkeBilzDudziak2017, author = {Niproschke, Saskia and Bilz, Ludwig and Dudziak, Ines}, title = {Welche Kontextfaktoren sind f{\"u}r das Lehrerhandeln bei Mobbing von Bedeutung?}, series = {Gewalt und Mobbing an Schulen : wie sich Gewalt und Mobbing entwickelt haben, wie Lehrer intervenieren und welche Kompetenzen sie brauchen}, booktitle = {Gewalt und Mobbing an Schulen : wie sich Gewalt und Mobbing entwickelt haben, wie Lehrer intervenieren und welche Kompetenzen sie brauchen}, editor = {Bilz, Ludwig and Schubarth, Wilfried and Dudziak, Ines and Fischer, Saskia M. and Niproschke, Saskia and Ulbricht, Juliane}, publisher = {Klinkhardt}, address = {Bad Heilbrunn}, isbn = {978-3-7815-2095-0}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {145 -- 165}, year = {2017}, language = {de} } @incollection{FischerUlbricht2017, author = {Fischer, Saskia M. and Ulbricht, Juliane}, title = {Welche Interventionskompetenzen sind f{\"u}r das Lehrerhandeln in Gewalt- und Mobbingsituationen besonders bedeutsam?}, series = {Gewalt und Mobbing an Schulen : wie sich Gewalt und Mobbing entwickelt haben, wie Lehrer intervenieren und welche Kompetenzen sie brauchen}, booktitle = {Gewalt und Mobbing an Schulen : wie sich Gewalt und Mobbing entwickelt haben, wie Lehrer intervenieren und welche Kompetenzen sie brauchen}, editor = {Bilz, Ludwig and Schubarth, Wilfried and Dudziak, Ines and Fischer, Saskia M. and Niproschke, Saskia and Ulbricht, Juliane}, publisher = {Klinkhardt}, address = {Bad Heilbrunn}, isbn = {978-3-7815-2095-0}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {255 -- 275}, year = {2017}, language = {de} } @incollection{Ette2017, author = {Ette, Ottmar}, title = {Weiterleben / Weitererleben}, series = {Forster - Humboldt - Chamisso : Weltreisende im Spannungsfeld der Kulturen}, booktitle = {Forster - Humboldt - Chamisso : Weltreisende im Spannungsfeld der Kulturen}, publisher = {V \& R unipress}, address = {G{\"o}ttingen}, isbn = {978-3-8471-0751-4}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {383 -- 427}, year = {2017}, language = {de} } @incollection{Kotowski2017, author = {Kotowski, Elke-Vera}, title = {Weit von wo?

The influence of body image concern on eating concern was also investigated. Method: In a prospective study, 675 male and female adolescents aged 12-16 were assessed using self-report questionnaires on weight, shape, muscularity, and eating concerns. Height and weight measurements were taken by trained personnel. Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling. Results: Analyses of latent means revealed more pronounced weight/shape concern in females than males and more pronounced muscularity concern in males than females. Weight/shape concern increased in females over time, whereas muscularity concern remained stable in both genders. Baseline levels of weight/shape concern could be predicted by age and weight status in females and by weight status in males. The only predictor of change in weight/shape concern was weight status in males. Baseline levels of muscularity concern could be predicted by age in females and by weight status in males. Similar effects were found for changes in muscularity concern in both genders. Increases in weight/shape and muscularity concern were associated with more pronounced eating concern. Discussion: The results confirm gender differences in distinctive facets of body image concern and its prediction. The relevance of increase in body image concern in adolescents is underlined by its association with eating concern in both genders.

The aim of this study was to fill this void through the development of a novel framework for assessing climate change vulnerability tailored to freshwater ecosystems. The three dimensions of climate change vulnerability are as follows: (i) exposure to climate change, (ii) sensitivity to altered environmental conditions and (iii) resilience potential. Our vulnerability framework includes 1685 freshwater species of plants, fishes, molluscs, odonates, amphibians, crayfish and turtles alongside key features within and between catchments, such as topography and connectivity. Several methodologies were used to combine these dimensions across a variety of future climate change models and scenarios. The resulting indices were overlaid to assess the vulnerability of European freshwater ecosystems at the catchment scale (18 783 catchments). The Balkan Lakes Ohrid and Prespa and Mediterranean islands emerge as most vulnerable to climate change. For the 2030s, we showed a consensus among the applied methods whereby up to 573 lake and river catchments are highly vulnerable to climate change. The anthropogenic disruption of hydrological habitat connectivity by dams is the major factor reducing climate change resilience. A gap analysis demonstrated that the current European protected area network covers <25\% of the most vulnerable catchments. Practical steps need to be taken to ensure the persistence of freshwater biodiversity under climate change. Priority should be placed on enhancing stakeholder cooperation at the major basin scale towards preventing further degradation of freshwater ecosystems and maintaining connectivity among catchments. The catchments identified as most vulnerable to climate change provide preliminary targets for development of climate change conservation management and mitigation strategies.}, language = {en} } @article{FerrerMaestroKunstHernandezdelaFuenteetal.2017, author = {Ferrer-Maestro, Juan Jos{\´e} and Kunst, Christiane and Hern{\´a}ndez de la Fuente, David and Faber, Eike}, title = {Vorwort}, series = {Entre los mundos: homenaje a Pedro Barcel{\´o} = Zwischen den Welten : Festschrift f{\"u}r Pedro Barcel{\´o}}, journal = {Entre los mundos: homenaje a Pedro Barcel{\´o} = Zwischen den Welten : Festschrift f{\"u}r Pedro Barcel{\´o}}, publisher = {Presses universitaires de Franche-Comt{\´e}}, address = {Besan{\c{c}}on}, isbn = {978-2-84867-578-7}, pages = {19 -- 24}, year = {2017}, language = {de} } @incollection{FranzkeKoszelSakson2017, author = {Franzke, Jochen and Koszel, Bogdan and Sakson, Andrzej}, title = {Vorwort}, series = {Migrationspolitik in Deutschland und Polen : Herausforderungen und L{\"o}sungsans{\"a}tze in der europ{\"a}ischen Fl{\"u}chtlingskrise}, booktitle = {Migrationspolitik in Deutschland und Polen : Herausforderungen und L{\"o}sungsans{\"a}tze in der europ{\"a}ischen Fl{\"u}chtlingskrise}, publisher = {WeltTrends}, address = {Potsdam}, isbn = {978-3-945878-64-4}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {7 -- 15}, year = {2017}, language = {de} } @incollection{Weiss2017, author = {Weiß, Norman}, title = {Vorwort}, series = {Die Deutsche Gesellschaft f{\"u}r die Vereinten Nationen (DGVN) : Geschichte, Organisation und politisches Wirken, 1952-2017}, booktitle = {Die Deutsche Gesellschaft f{\"u}r die Vereinten Nationen (DGVN) : Geschichte, Organisation und politisches Wirken, 1952-2017}, publisher = {Nomos}, address = {Baden-Baden}, isbn = {978-3-8487-4559-3}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {7 -- 7}, year = {2017}, language = {de} } @incollection{BauerPeine2017, author = {Bauer, Hartmut and Peine, Franz-Joseph}, title = {Vorwort}, series = {Landesrecht Brandenburg : Studienbuch}, booktitle = {Landesrecht Brandenburg : Studienbuch}, edition = {3.

Several scholars have lately devoted particular attention to voluntary global business initiatives in the policy domain of climate change. Their studies have provided considerable insights into the role and function of such new modes of climate governance. However, the precise nature of the relationship between the various climate governance experiments and the international climate negotiations has not been analyzed in enough detail. Against this backdrop, the present article explores the interplay of a business sector climate governance experiment, i.e. the Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG Protocol) with the international climate regime. On the one hand, the article underscores that the GHG Protocol has filled a regulatory gap in global climate policy-making by providing the means for the corporate sector to comprehensively account and report their GHGs. On the other hand, it reveals that the application of the GHG Protocol guidelines depends to a large extent on the existence of an overarching policy framework set up by nation-states at the intergovernmental level. Only if private companies receive a clear political signal that stringent mandatory GHG emission controls and a global market-based instrument are at least likely to be adopted will they put substantial efforts into the accurate measurement and management of their GHGs. Thus, this article points to the limits of climate governance experimentation and suggests that business sector climate governance experiments need to be embedded in a coherent international regulatory setting which generates a clear stimulus for corporate action.}, language = {en} } @article{MartinezGarzonKwiatekBohnhoffetal.2017, author = {Mart{\´i}nez-Garz{\´o}n, Patricia and Kwiatek, Grzegorz and Bohnhoff, Marco and Dresen, Georg}, title = {Volumetric components in the earthquake source related to fluid injection and stress state}, series = {Geophysical research letters}, volume = {44}, journal = {Geophysical research letters}, number = {2}, publisher = {American Geophysical Union}, address = {Washington}, issn = {0094-8276}, doi = {10.1002/2016GL071963}, pages = {800 -- 809}, year = {2017}, abstract = {We investigate source processes of fluid-induced seismicity from The Geysers geothermal reservoir in California to determine their relation with hydraulic operations and improve the corresponding seismic hazard estimates.

However, the roles of the PDT in catalysis are still unknown. The PDT is believed to be bound to the proteins by an extensive hydrogen bonding network, and it has been suggested that these interactions may function to fine-tune Moco for electron- and atom-transfer reactivity in catalysis. Here, we use resonance Raman (rR) spectroscopy to probe Moco-protein interactions using heavy-atom congeners of lumazine, molecules that bind tightly to both wild-type xanthine dehydrogenase (wt-XDH) and its Q102G and Q197A variants following enzymatic hydroxylation to the corresponding violapterin product molecules. The resulting enzyme-product complexes possess intense near-IR absorption, allowing high-quality rR spectra to be collected on wt-XDH and the Q102G and Q197A variants. Small negative frequency shifts relative to wt-XDH are observed for the low-frequency Moco vibrations. These results are interpreted in the context of weak hydrogen-bonding and/or electrostatic interactions between Q102 and the -NH2 terminus of the PDT, and between Q197 and the terminal oxo of the Mo equivalent to O group. The Q102A, Q102G, Q197A, and Q197E variants do not appreciably affect the kinetic parameters k(red) and k(red)/K-D, indicating that a primary role for these glutamine residues is to stabilize and coordinate Moco in the active site of XO family enzymes but to not directly affect the catalytic throughput. Raman frequency shifts between wt-XDH and its Q102G variant suggest that the changes in the electron density at the Mo ion that accompany Mo oxidation during electron-transfer regeneration of the catalytically competent active site are manifest in distortions at the distant PDT amino terminus. This implies a primary role for the PDT as a conduit for facilitating enzymatic electron-transfer reactivity in xanthine oxidase family enzymes.}, language = {en} } @article{AllenArchambaultArcheretal.2017, author = {Allen, C. and Archambault, S. and Archer, A. and Benbow, W. and Bird, R. and Bourbeau, E. and Brose, Robert and Buchovecky, M. and Buckley, J.

Using these observations, the temporal properties of 1ES 2344+514 are studied on short and long times-scales. We fit a constant-flux model to nightly and seasonally binned light curves and apply a fractional variability test to determine the stability of the source on different time-scales. We reject the constant-flux model for the 2007-2008 and 2014-2015 nightly binned light curves and for the long-term seasonally binned light curve at the > 3 sigma level. The spectra of the time-averaged emission before and after correction for attenuation by the extragalactic background light are obtained. The observed time-averaged spectrum above 200 GeV is satisfactorily fitted (x(2)/NDF = 7.89/6) by a power-law function with an index Gamma = 2.46 +/- 0.06(stat) +/- 0.20(sys) and extends to at least 8 TeV.

We find similar stability characteristics for N-ICE2015 and SHEBA throughout the troposphere, despite differences in location, sea ice thickness, and snow cover. For Ny-Alesund, we observe similar characteristics above 1000 m, while the topography and ice-free fjord surrounding Ny-Alesund generate great differences below. The long-term radiosonde record (1993-2014) from Ny-Alesund indicates that during the N-ICE2015 spring period, temperatures were close to the climatological mean, while the lowest 3000 m were 1-3 degrees C warmer than the climatology during winter. Plain Language Summary The Norwegian young sea ICE (N-ICE2015) expedition was designed to investigate the atmosphere-snow-ice-ocean interactions in the young and thin sea ice regime north of Svalbard. Radiosondes were launched twice daily during the expedition from January to June 2015. Here we use these upper air measurements to study the multiple cyclonic events observed during N-ICE2015 with respect to changes in the vertical thermodynamic structure, moisture content, and the atmospheric boundary layer characteristics. During winter, we find the strongest impact of synoptic cyclones, which transport warm and moist air into the cold and dry Arctic atmosphere. In spring, incoming solar radiation warms the surface. This leads to very different thermodynamic conditions and higher moisture content, which reduces the contrast between stormy and calm periods. Further, we compare the N-ICE2015 measurements to corresponding profiles from ERA-Interim reanalysis, from the closest land station in the Arctic North Atlantic sector, Ny-Alesund, and to soundings from the SHEBA expedition (1997/1998). We find similar stability characteristics for N-ICE2015 and SHEBA throughout the troposphere, despite differences in location, sea ice thickness, and snow cover. The comparisons highlight the value of the N-ICE2015 observation and show the importance of winter time observations in the Arctic North Atlantic sector.}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Yang2017, author = {Yang, Lei}, title = {Verification of systemic mRNAs mobility and mobile functions}, school = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {125}, year = {2017}, language = {en} } @article{SchulzeDiehl2017, author = {Schulze, G{\"o}tz and Diehl, Yannick}, title = {Verbraucherschleusung im T{\"u}rkeiurlaub}, series = {studere : Rechtszeitschrift der Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, volume = {2017}, journal = {studere : Rechtszeitschrift der Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, number = {18}, publisher = {studere e.V.}, address = {Potsdam}, issn = {1867-6170}, pages = {44 -- 49}, year = {2017}, language = {de} } @article{WieseOncuBracker2017, author = {Wiese, Heike and Oncu, Mehmet Tahir and Bracker, Philip}, title = {Verb-third-position in Turkish-German Language Contact}, series = {Deutsche Sprache : ds ; Zeitschrift f{\"u}r Theorie, Praxis, Dokumentation}, volume = {45}, journal = {Deutsche Sprache : ds ; Zeitschrift f{\"u}r Theorie, Praxis, Dokumentation}, number = {1}, publisher = {Erich Schmidt}, address = {Berlin}, issn = {0340-9341}, pages = {31 -- 52}, year = {2017}, abstract = {In present-day German we find new word order options, particularly well-known from Turkish-German bilingual speakers in the contexts of new urban dialects, which allow violations of the canonical verb-second position in independent declarative clauses.

Our study investigates the influence of verbal versus language -independent information-structural preferences for this linearisation, comparing Turkish-German multilingual speakers who have grown up in Germany with monolingual German and Turkish speakers. For tasks, in which grammatical restrictions were largely minimised, the results indicate a general tendency to place verbs in a position after the frame-setter and the topic; in addition, we found language-specific influences that distinguish Turkish-German and monolingual German speakers from monolingual Turkish ones.

CFA during childhood was determined using a standardized parent interview. Disruptive behaviors and CD diagnoses during childhood and adolescence were obtained by diagnostic interview (2-19 years), temperamental reward dependence was assessed by questionnaire (15 and 19 years). CFA predicted increased CD and amygdala volume. Both exposure to CFA and CD were associated with a decreased VS response during reward anticipation and blunted amygdala activity during face-matching. CD mediated the effect of CFA on brain activity. Temperamental reward dependence was negatively correlated with CFA and CD and positively with VS activity. These findings underline the detrimental effects of CFA on the offspring's affective processing and support the importance of early postnatal intervention programs aiming to reduce childhood adversity factors.}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Zimmermann2017, author = {Zimmermann, Heike Hildegard}, title = {Vegetation changes and treeline dynamics in northern Siberia since the last interglacial revealed by sedimentary ancient DNA metabarcoding and organelle genome assembly of modern larches}, school = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {138}, year = {2017}, language = {en} } @article{BussasSawadeKuhnetal.2017, author = {Bussas, Matthias and Sawade, Christoph and Kuhn, Nicolas and Scheffer, Tobias and Landwehr, Niels}, title = {Varying-coefficient models for geospatial transfer learning}, series = {Machine learning}, volume = {106}, journal = {Machine learning}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Dordrecht}, issn = {0885-6125}, doi = {10.1007/s10994-017-5639-3}, pages = {1419 -- 1440}, year = {2017}, abstract = {We study prediction problems in which the conditional distribution of the output given the input varies as a function of task variables which, in our applications, represent space and time. In varying-coefficient models, the coefficients of this conditional are allowed to change smoothly in space and time; the strength of the correlations between neighboring points is determined by the data. This is achieved by placing a Gaussian process (GP) prior on the coefficients. Bayesian inference in varying-coefficient models is generally intractable. We show that with an isotropic GP prior, inference in varying-coefficient models resolves to standard inference for a GP that can be solved efficiently. MAP inference in this model resolves to multitask learning using task and instance kernels. We clarify the relationship between varying-coefficient models and the hierarchical Bayesian multitask model and show that inference for hierarchical Bayesian multitask models can be carried out efficiently using graph-Laplacian kernels. We explore the model empirically for the problems of predicting rent and real-estate prices, and predicting the ground motion during seismic events. We find that varying-coefficient models with GP priors excel at predicting rents and real-estate prices. The ground-motion model predicts seismic hazards in the State of California more accurately than the previous state of the art.}, language = {en} } @article{BufeBurbankLiuetal.2017, author = {Bufe, Aaron and Burbank, Douglas W. and Liu, Langtao and Bookhagen, Bodo and Qin, Jintang and Chen, Jie and Li, Tao and Jobe, Jessica Ann Thompson and Yang, Huili}, title = {Variations of Lateral Bedrock Erosion Rates Control Planation of Uplifting Folds in the Foreland of the Tian Shan, NW China}, series = {Journal of geophysical research : Earth surface}, volume = {122}, journal = {Journal of geophysical research : Earth surface}, publisher = {American Geophysical Union}, address = {Washington}, issn = {2169-9003}, doi = {10.1002/2016JF004099}, pages = {2431 -- 2467}, year = {2017}, abstract = {Fluvial planation surfaces, such as straths, commonly serve as recorders of climatic and tectonic changes and are formed by the lateral erosion of rivers, a process that remains poorly understood. Here we present a study of kilometer-wide, fluvially eroded, low-relief surfaces on rapidly uplifting folds in the foreland of the southwestern Tian Shan. A combination of field work, digital elevation model analysis, and dating of fluvial deposits reveals that despite an arid climate and rapid average rock-uplift rates of 1-3mm/yr, rivers cut extensive (>1-2km wide) surfaces with typical height variations of <6m over periods of >2-6kyr. The extent of this beveling varies in space and time, such that different beveling episodes affect individual structures. Between times of planation, beveled surfaces are abandoned, incised, and deformed across the folds. In a challenge to models that link strath cutting and abandonment primarily to changes in river incision rates, we demonstrate that lateral erosion rates of antecedent streams crossing the folds have to vary by more than 1 order of magnitude to explain the creation of beveled platforms in the past and their incision at the present day. These variations do not appear to covary with climate variability and might be caused by relatively small (much less than an order of magnitude) changes in sediment or water fluxes. It remains uncertain in which settings variations in lateral bedrock erosion rates predominate over changes in vertical erosion rates. Therefore, when studying fluvial planation and strath terraces, variability of both lateral and vertical erosion rates should be considered.}, language = {en} } @incollection{Klettke2017, author = {Klettke, Cornelia}, title = {Val{\´e}rie et la religion d'amour}, series = {Les femmes en mouvement - l'univers sentimental et intellectuel des romanci{\`e}res du d{\´e}but du XIXe si{\`e}cle}, booktitle = {Les femmes en mouvement - l'univers sentimental et intellectuel des romanci{\`e}res du d{\´e}but du XIXe si{\`e}cle}, editor = {Bercegol, Fabienne and Klettke, Cornelia}, publisher = {Frank \& Timme}, address = {Berlin}, isbn = {978-3-7329-0322-1}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {113 -- 147}, year = {2017}, language = {fr} } @incollection{Mutet2017, author = {Mutet, Sylvie}, title = {Val{\´e}rie de Gasparin, une voyageuse en {\´E}gypte}, series = {Les femmes en mouvement - l'univers sentimental et intellectuel des romanci{\`e}res du d{\´e}but du XIXe si{\`e}cle}, booktitle = {Les femmes en mouvement - l'univers sentimental et intellectuel des romanci{\`e}res du d{\´e}but du XIXe si{\`e}cle}, editor = {Bercegol, Fabienne and Klettke, Cornelia}, publisher = {Frank \& Timme}, address = {Berlin}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {353 -- 374}, year = {2017}, language = {fr} } @article{MuehlbauerPabstGranacheretal.2017, author = {M{\"u}hlbauer, Thomas and Pabst, Jan and Granacher, Urs and Buesch, Dirk}, title = {Validity of the jump-and-reach test in subelite adolescent handball players}, series = {Journal of strength and conditioning research : the research journal of the NSCA}, volume = {31}, journal = {Journal of strength and conditioning research : the research journal of the NSCA}, publisher = {Lippincott Williams \& Wilkins}, address = {Philadelphia}, issn = {1064-8011}, doi = {10.1519/JSC.0000000000001607}, pages = {1282 -- 1289}, year = {2017}, language = {en} } @article{ReilImholtRosenfeldetal.2017, author = {Reil, Daniela and Imholt, Christian and Rosenfeld, Ulrike M. and Drewes, Stephan and Fischer, S. and Heuser, Emil and Petraityte-Burneikiene, Rasa and Ulrich, R.

However, the determination of vitamin A requires a time consuming multi-step procedure, which needs specific equipment to perform extraction, centrifugation or saponification prior to high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Methods: The concentrations of retinol in whole blood (n = 10), plasma (n = 132) and serum (n = 61) were measured by a new rapid cow-side test (iCheck™ FLUORO) and compared with those by HPLC in two independent laboratories in Germany (DE) and Japan (JP). Results: Retinol concentrations in plasma ranged from 0.033 to 0.532 mg/L, and in serum from 0.043 to 0.360 mg/L (HPLC method). No significant differences in retinol levels were observed between the new rapid cow-side test and HPLC performed in different laboratories (HPLC vs. iCheck™ FLUORO: 0.320 ± 0.047 mg/L vs. 0.333 ± 0.044 mg/L, and 0.240 ± 0.096 mg/L vs. 0.241 ± 0.069 mg/L, lab DE and lab JP, respectively). A similar comparability was observed when whole blood was used (HPLC vs. iCheck™ FLUORO: 0.353 ± 0.084 mg/L vs. 0.341 ± 0.064 mg/L). Results showed a good agreement between both methods based on correlation coefficients of r2 = 0.87 (P < 0.001) and Bland-Altman blots revealed no significant bias for all comparison. Conclusions: With the new rapid cow-side test (iCheck™ FLUORO) retinol concentrations in cattle can be reliably assessed within a few minutes and directly in the barn using even whole blood without the necessity of prior centrifugation. The ease of the application of the new rapid cow-side test and its portability can improve the diagnostic of vitamin A status and will help to control vitamin A supplementation in specific vitamin A feeding regimes such as used to optimize health status in calves or meat marbling in Japanese Black cattle.}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Stadion2017, author = {Stadion, Mandy}, title = {Validation and Characterization of lfi202b and Zfp69, two Novel Disease Genes in Obesity-Associated Insulin Resistance}, school = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {158}, year = {2017}, language = {en} } @article{EckertNiskanenJayetal.2017, author = {Eckert, Sebastian and Niskanen, Johannes and Jay, Raphael Martin and Miedema, Piter S. and Fondell, Mattis and Kennedy, Brian and Quevedo, Wilson and Iannuzzi, Marcella and F{\"o}hlisch, Alexander}, title = {Valence orbitals and local bond dynamics around N atoms of histidine under X-ray irradiation}, series = {Physical chemistry, chemical physics : a journal of European Chemical Societies}, volume = {19}, journal = {Physical chemistry, chemical physics : a journal of European Chemical Societies}, publisher = {Royal Society of Chemistry}, address = {Cambridge}, issn = {1463-9076}, doi = {10.1039/c7cp05713j}, pages = {32091 -- 32098}, year = {2017}, abstract = {The valence orbitals of aqueous histidine under basic, neutral and acidic conditions and their X-ray induced transformations have been monitored through N 1s resonant inelastic X-ray scattering.

The dehydration behavior of the homopolymer film as well as of a nanostructured film of the amphiphilic triblock copolymer polystyrene-block-poly(methoxy diethylene glycol acrylate)-block-polystyrene, abbreviated as PS-b-PMDEGA-b-PS, are probed, and compared to the thermally induced dehydration behavior of such thin thermo-responsive films when they pass through their LCST-type coil-to globule collapse transition. The dehydration kinetics is followed by in-situ neutron reflectivity measurements. Contrast results from the use of deuterated water. Water content and film thickness are significantly reduced during the process, which can be explained by Schott second order kinetics theory for both films. The water content of the dehydrated equilibrium state from this model is very close to the residual water content obtained from the final static measurements, indicating that residual water still remains in the film even after prolonged exposure to the vacuum. In the PS-b-PMDEGA-b-PS film that shows micro-phase separation, the hydrophobic PS domains modify the dehydration process by hindering the water removal, and thus retarding dehydration by about 30\%. Whereas residual water remains tightly bound in the PMDEGA domains, water is completely removed from the PS domains of the block copolymer film. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd.

The SCPs used here are time-averaged shear-wave velocity in the top 30 m (V-S30), the topographical slope (slope), the fundamental resonance frequency (f(0)) and the depth beyond which V-s exceeds 800 m/s (H800). We considered first the performance of each SCP taken alone and then the combined performance of the 6 SCP pairs [V-S30-f(0)], [V-S30-H-800], [f(0)-slope], [H-800-slope], [V-S30-slope] and [f(0)-H-800]. This analysis is performed using a neural network approach including a random effect applied on a KiK-net subset for derivation of ground-motion prediction equations setting the relationship between various ground-motion parameters such as peak ground acceleration, peak ground velocity and pseudo-spectral acceleration PSA (T), and Mw, RJB, focal depth and SCPs. While the choice of SCP is found to have almost no impact on the median groundmotion prediction, it does impact the level of aleatory uncertainty. VS30 is found to perform the best of single proxies at short periods (T < 0.6 s), while f(0) and H-800 perform better at longer periods; considering SCP pairs leads to significant improvements, with particular emphasis on [V-S30-H-800] and [f(0)-slope] pairs. The results also indicate significant nonlinearity on the site terms for soft sites and that the most relevant loading parameter for characterising nonlinear site response is the "stiff" spectral ordinate at the considered period.}, language = {en} } @article{LenskiRichterLuedtke2017, author = {Lenski, Anna Eva and Richter, Dirk and L{\"u}dtke, Oliver}, title = {Using the theory of planned behavior to predict teachers' likelihood of taking a competency-based approach to instruction}, series = {European Journal of Psychology of Education}, volume = {34}, journal = {European Journal of Psychology of Education}, number = {1}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {New York}, issn = {0256-2928}, doi = {10.1007/s10212-017-0356-7}, pages = {169 -- 186}, year = {2017}, abstract = {Quality of mathematics education has gained significant attention in educational politics and among educators as mathematics advances the foundations of analytical thinking necessary to excel in today's knowledge-based economy.

The objective of this work was to investigate the potential of absorption (μa) and reduced scattering (μs') coefficients of European pear to analyze its fruit flesh firmness and soluble solids content (SSC). The absolute reference values, μa* (cm-1) and μs'* (cm-1), of pear were invasively measured, employing multi-spectral photon density wave (PDW) spectroscopy at preselected wavelengths of 515, 690, and 940 nm considering two batches of unripe and overripe fruit. On eight measuring dates during fruit development, μa and μs' were analyzed non-destructively by means of laser light backscattering imaging (LLBI) at similar wavelengths of 532, 660, and 830 nm by means of fitting according to Farrell's diffusion theory, using fix reference values of either μa* or μs'*. Both, the μa* and the μa as well as μs'* and μs' showed similar trends. Considering the non-destructively measured data during fruit development, μa at 660 nm decreased 91 till 141 days after full bloom (dafb) from 1.49 cm-1 to 0.74 cm-1 due to chlorophyll degradation. At 830 nm, μa only slightly decreased from 0.41 cm-1 to 0.35 cm-1. The μs' at all wavelengths revealed a decreasing trend as the fruit developed. The difference measured at 532 nm was most pronounced decreasing from 24 cm-1 to 10 cm-1, while at 660 nm and 830 nm values decreased from 15 cm-1 to 13 cm-1 and from 10 cm-1 to 8 cm-1, respectively. When building calibration models with partial least-squares regression analysis on the optical properties for non-destructive analysis of the fruit SSC, μa at 532 nm and 830 nm resulted in a correlation coefficient of R = 0.66, however, showing high measuring uncertainty.

Objective: The aim of this study was the explorative, nuanced determination of the interest in mHealth apps with respect to PA among students and staff of a university. Methods: We conducted a Web-based survey from June to July 2015 in which students and employees from the University of Potsdam were asked about their activity level, interest in mHealth fitness apps, chronic diseases, and sociodemographic parameters. Results: A total of 1217 students (67.30\%, 819/1217; female; 26.0 years [SD 4.9]) and 485 employees (67.5\%, 327/485; female; 42.7 years [SD 11.7]) participated in the survey. The recommendation for PA (3 times per week) was not met by 70.1\% (340/485) of employees and 52.67\% (641/1217) of students. Within these groups, 53.2\% (341/641 students) and 44.2\% (150/340 employees)—independent of age, sex, body mass index (BMI), and level of education or professional qualification—indicated an interest in mHealth fitness apps.

No significant associations between rs12917707 and other cardiac or BP phenotypes were observed.Conclusions:These findings extend the previously documented role of UMOD for renal function also to treated high-risk patients with arterial hypertension and reveal a novel association with left atrial remodelling and thus a potential cardiorenal link modulated by UMOD.}, language = {en} } @article{RybergBraeuerWeber2017, author = {Ryberg, Trond and Braeuer, Benjamin and Weber, Michael}, title = {Upper mantle structure at Walvis Ridge from P-n tomography}, series = {Tectonophysics : international journal of geotectonics and the geology and physics of the interior of the earth}, volume = {716}, journal = {Tectonophysics : international journal of geotectonics and the geology and physics of the interior of the earth}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {0040-1951}, doi = {10.1016/j.tecto.2016.08.009}, pages = {121 -- 129}, year = {2017}, abstract = {Passive continental margins offer the unique opportunity to study the processes involved in continental extension and break-up.

A distinct contrast is found between Phanerozoic Europe and the East European Craton across the Trans-European Suture Zone. To the west, a pronounced velocity reduction with depth interpreted as lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary (LAB) is found at an average depth of 90 km. Beneath the craton, no strong and continuous LAB conversion is observed. Instead we find a distinct velocity reduction within the lithosphere, at 80-120 km depth. This mid-lithospheric discontinuity (MLD) is attributed to a compositional boundary between depleted and more fertile lithosphere created by late Proterozoic metasomatism. A potential LAB phase beneath the craton is very weak and varies in depth between 180 and 250 km, consistent with a reduced velocity contrast between the lower lithosphere and the asthenosphere. Within the Trans-European Suture Zone, lithospheric structure is characterized by strong heterogeneity. A dipping or step-wise increase to LAB depth of 150 km is imaged from Phanerozoic Europe to 20-22 degrees E, whereas no direct connection to the cratonic LAB or MLD to the east is apparent. At larger depths, a positive conversion associated with the lower boundary of the asthenosphere is imaged at 210-250 km depth beneath Phanerozoic Europe, continuing down to 300 km depth beneath the craton. Conversions from both 410 km and 660 km discontinuities are found at their nominal depth beneath Phanerozoic Europe, and the discontinuity at 410 km depth can also be traced into the craton.
