Das Bildmotiv der Piet{\`a} wird in der Gegenwartskunst verst{\"a}rkt als innovative Bildformel in politischen oder sozialen Kontexten verwendet, um existenzielle Lebenserfahrungen oder gesellschaftskritische, sowie politische Anklagen zu formulieren. Es erlebt einen Relaunch in der Medienberichterstattung, der Kunst, in Filmen oder der Alltagskultur. K{\"u}nstler_innen und Fotojournalist_innen geben ihren Objekten vermehrt den Titel Piet{\`a} oder er wird ihnen von außen zuge-schrieben. Die Semantik dieses spezifischen Bildmotivs r{\"u}hrt offenbar an und kann bei Betrachtenden eine emotionale Gestimmtheit evozieren. F{\"u}r diese Stu-die ist das Norm- und Wertesystem mit dem dahinter liegenden Tradierungs- und Transformationsprozess von Interesse. Bisher fehlt eine Monografie, in der die Zusammenh{\"a}nge der Wiederbelebung eines prim{\"a}r christlichen Bildmotivs und der gegenw{\"a}rtigen Bez{\"u}ge zu Gewalt, Tod, Angst, Verg{\"a}nglichkeit, dem Altern oder des Verlustes analysiert werden. Im Vordergrund steht die Frage nach einer Modifikation bzw. Neuinterpretation dieser Ikonik. Das Aufzeigen eines m{\"o}glichen dynamischen Entwicklungspro-zesses des Bildmotivs soll kl{\"a}ren, welche ver{\"a}nderten Funktionen dem Piet{\`a}-Motiv in der Gegenwartskunst zugeschrieben werden. {\"U}ber ein Set international renomierter, zeitgen{\"o}ssischer K{\"u}nstler_innen werden eventuelle Ver{\"a}nderun-gen und ein damit verbundener gesellschaftlicher Bedeutungswandel seit dem 21. Jahrhundert analysiert. Vor diesem Hintergrund ist die Frage nach einer religions{\"u}bergreifenden Wirk-m{\"a}chtigkeit ikonischer Pr{\"a}senz eines religi{\"o}sen Bildmotivs in der Kunst und den Bildmedien von aktueller Relevanz. Diese Studie leistet einen exemplarischen Beitrag f{\"u}r die Affektforschung, die sich in den vergangenen Jahren vermehrt mit der Emotionsdarstellung und der Emotionsvermittlung in den audiovisuellen Medien befasst.}, language = {de} } @article{FischerSpierlingHeuseretal.2018, author = {Fischer, Stefan and Spierling, Nastasja G. and Heuser, Elisa and Kling, Christopher and Schmidt, Sabrina and Rosenfeld, Ulrike M. and Reil, Daniela and Imholt, Christian and Jacob, Jens and Ulrich, Rainer G. and Essbauer, Sandra}, title = {High prevalence of Rickettsia helvetica in wild small mammal populations in Germany}, series = {Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases}, volume = {9}, journal = {Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases}, number = {3}, publisher = {Elsevier GMBH}, address = {M{\"u}nchen}, issn = {1877-959X}, doi = {10.1016/j.ttbdis.2018.01.009}, pages = {500 -- 505}, year = {2018}, abstract = {Since the beginning of the 21st century, spotted fever rickettsioses are known as emerging diseases worldwide. Rickettsiae are obligately intracellular bacteria transmitted by arthropod vectors. The ecology of Rickettsia species has not been investigated in detail, but small mammals are considered to play a role as reservoirs. Aim of this study was to monitor rickettsiae in wild small mammals over a period of five years in four federal states of Germany. Initial screening of ear pinna tissues of 3939 animals by Pan-Rick real-time PCR targeting the citrate synthase (gltA) gene revealed 296 rodents of seven species and 19 shrews of two species positive for rickettsial DNA. Outer membrane protein gene (ompB, ompAIV) PCRs based typing resulted in the identification of three species: Rickettsia helvetica (90.9\%) was found as the dominantly occurring species in the four investigated federal states, but Rickettsia felis (7.8\%) and Rickettsia raoultii (1.3\%) were also detected. The prevalence of Rickettsia spp. in rodents of the genus Apodemus was found to be higher (approximately 14\%) than in all other rodent and shrew species at all investigated sites. General linear mixed model analyses indicated that heavier (older) individuals of yellow-necked mice and male common voles seem to contain more often rickettsial DNA than younger ones. Furthermore, rodents generally collected in forests in summer and autumn more often carried rickettsial DNA. In conclusion, this study indicated a high prevalence of R. helvetica in small mammal populations and suggests an age-dependent increase of the DNA prevalence in some of the species and in animals originating from forest habitats. The finding of R. helvetica and R. felis DNA in multiple small mammal species may indicate frequent trans-species transmission by feeding of vectors on different species. Further investigations should target the reason for the discrepancy between the high rickettsial DNA prevalence in rodents and the so far almost absence of clinical apparent human infections.}, language = {en} } @article{RuszkiewiczdeMacedoMirandaVizueteetal.2018, author = {Ruszkiewicz, Joanna A. and de Macedo, Gabriel Teixeira and Miranda-Vizuete, Antonio and Teixeira da Rocha, Joao B. and Bowman, Aaron B. and Bornhorst, Julia and Schwerdtle, Tanja and Aschner, Michael}, title = {The cytoplasmic thioredoxin system in Caenorhabditis elegans affords protection from methylmercury in an age-specific manner}, series = {Neurotoxicology : the interdisciplinary journal of effects to toxic substances on the nervous system}, volume = {68}, journal = {Neurotoxicology : the interdisciplinary journal of effects to toxic substances on the nervous system}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {0161-813X}, doi = {10.1016/j.neuro.2018.08.007}, pages = {189 -- 202}, year = {2018}, abstract = {Methylmercury (MeHg) is an environmental pollutant linked to many neurological defects, especially in developing individuals. The thioredoxin (TRX) system is a key redox regulator affected by MeHg toxicity, however the mechanisms and consequences of MeHg-induced dysfunction are not completely understood. This study evaluated the role of the TRX system in C. elegans susceptibility to MeHg during development. Worms lacking or overexpressing proteins from the TRX family were exposed to MeHg for 1 h at different developmental stage: L1, L4 and adult. Worms without cytoplasmic thioredoxin system exhibited age-specific susceptibility to MeHg when compared to wild-type (wt). This susceptibility corresponded partially to decreased total glutathione (GSH) levels and enhanced degeneration of dopaminergic neurons. In contrast, the overexpression of the cytoplasmic system TRX-1/TRXR-1 did not provide substantial protection against MeHg. Moreover, transgenic worms exhibited decreased protein expression for cytoplasmic thioredoxin reductase (TRXR-1). Both mitochondrial thioredoxin system TRX-2/TRXR-2, as well as other thioredoxin-like proteins: TRX-3, TRX-4, TRX-5 did not show significant role in C. elegans resistance to MeHg. Based on the current findings, the cytoplasmic thioredoxin system TRX-1/TRXR-1 emerges as an important age-sensitive protectant against MeHg toxicity in C. elegans.}, language = {en} }
