  abstract  = {Graphitic carbon nitrides (g-CNs) are represented by melon-type g-CN, poly(heptazine imides) (PHIs), triazine-based g-CN and poly(triazine imide) with intercalated LiCl (PTI/Li+Cl‒). These materials are composed of sp2-hybridized carbon and nitrogen atoms; C:N ratio is close to 3:4; the building unit is 1,3,5-triazine or tri-s-triazine; the building units are interconnected covalently via sp2-hybridized nitrogen atoms or NH-moieties; the layers are assembled into a stack via weak van der Waals forces as in graphite. Due to medium band gap (~2.7 eV) g-CNs, such as melon-type g-CN and PHIs, are excited by photons with wavelength ≤ 460 nm. Since 2009 g-CNs have been actively studied as photocatalysts in evolution of hydrogen and oxygen - two half-reactions of full water splitting, by employing corresponding sacrificial agents. At the same time application of g-CNs as photocatalysts in organic synthesis has been remaining limited to few reactions only. Cumulative Habilitation summarizes research work conducted by the group 'Innovative Heterogeneous Photocatalysis' between 2017-2023 in the field of carbon nitride organic photocatalysis, which is led by Dr. Oleksandr Savatieiev. g-CN photocatalysts activate molecules, i.e. generate their more reactive open-shell intermediates, via three modes: i) Photoinduced electron transfer (PET); ii) Excited state proton-coupled electron transfer (ES-PCET) or direct hydrogen atom transfer (dHAT); iii) Energy transfer (EnT). The scope of reactions that proceed via oxidative PET, i.e. one-electron oxidation of a substrate to the corresponding radical cation, are represented by synthesis of sulfonylchlorides from S-acetylthiophenols. The scope of reactions that proceed via reductive PET, i.e. one-electron reduction of a substrate to the corresponding radical anion, are represented by synthesis of γ,γ-dichloroketones from the enones and chloroform. Due to abundance of sp2-hybridized nitrogen atoms in the structure of g-CN materials, they are able to cleave X-H bonds in organic molecules and store temporary hydrogen atom. ES-PCET or dHAT mode of organic molecules activation to the corresponding radicals is implemented for substrates featuring relatively acidic X-H bonds and those that are characterized by low bond dissociation energy, such as C-H bond next to the heteroelements. On the other hand, reductively quenched g-CN carrying hydrogen atom reduces a carbonyl compound to the ketyl radical via PCET that is thermodynamically more favorable pathway compared to the electron transfer. The scope of these reactions is represented by cyclodimerization of α,β-unsaturated ketones to cyclopentanoles. g-CN excited state demonstrates complex dynamics with the initial formation of singlet excited state, which upon intersystem crossing produces triplet excited state that is characterized by the lifetime > 2 μs. Due to long lifetime, g-CN activate organic molecules via EnT. For example, g-CN sensitizes singlet oxygen, which is the key intermediate in the dehydrogenation of aldoximes to nitrileoxides. The transient nitrileoxide undergoes [3+2]-cycloaddition to nitriles and gives oxadiazoles-1,2,4. PET, ES-PCET and EnT are fundamental phenomena that are applied beyond organic photocatalysis. Hybrid composite is formed by combining conductive polymers, such as poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) with potassium poly(heptazine imide) (K-PHI). Upon PET, K-PHI modulated population of polarons and therefore conductivity of PEDOT:PSS. The initial state of PEDOT:PSS is recovered upon material exposure to O2. K-PHI:PEDOT:PSS may be applied in O2 sensing. In the presence of electron donors, such as tertiary amines and alcohols, and irradiation with light, K-PHI undergoes photocharging - the g-CN material accumulates electrons and charge-compensating cations. Such photocharged state is stable under anaerobic conditions for weeks, but at the same time it is a strong reductant. This feature allows decoupling in time light harvesting and energy storage in the form of electron-proton couples from utilization in organic synthesis. The photocharged state of K-PHI reduces nitrobenzene to aniline, and enables dimerization of α,β-unsaturated ketones to hexadienones in dark.},

Besides the necessary societal changes necessary, it is the understanding of the solids employed that is of particular importance for the success of this target. In this work, the principles and approaches of systematic-crystallographic characterisation and systematisation of solids is used and employed to allow a directed tuning of the materials properties.

  year      = {2023},
  abstract  = {This habilitation thesis summarises the research work performed by the author during the last quindecennial period. The dissertation reflects his main research interests, which revolve around quantum dynamics of small-sized molecular systems, including their interactions with electromagnetic radiation or dissipative environments. This covers various dynamical processes that involve bound-bound, bound-free, and free-free molecular transitions. The latter encompass light-triggered rovibrational or rovibronic dynamics in bound molecules, molecular photodissociation induced by weak or strong laser fields, state-to-state reactive and/or inelastic molecular collisions, and phonon-driven vibrational relaxation of adsorbates at solid surfaces. Although the dissertation covers different topics of molecular reaction dynamics, most of these studies focus on nuclear quantum effects and their manifestations in experimental measures. The latter are assessed through comparison between quantum and classical predictions, and/or direct confrontation of theory and experiment. Most well known quantum concepts and effects will be encountered in this work. Yet, almost all these quantum notions find their roots in the central pillar of quantum theory, namely, the quantum superposition principle. Indeed, quantum coherence is the main source of most quantum effects, including interference, entanglement, and even tunneling. Thus, the common and predominant theme of all the investigations of this thesis is quantum coherence, and the survival or quenching of subsequent interference effects in various molecular processes. The lion's share of the dissertation is devoted to two associated quantum concepts, which are usually overlooked in computational molecular dynamics, viz. the Berry phase and identical nuclei symmetry. The importance of the latter in dynamical molecular processes and their direct fingerprints in experimental observables also rely very much on quantum coherence and entanglement. All these quantum phenomena are thoroughly discussed within the four main topics that form the core of this thesis. Each topic is described in a separate chapter, where it is briefly summarised and then illustrated with three peer-reviewed publications. The first topic deals with the relevance of quantum coherence/interference in molecular collisions, with a focus on the hydrogen-exchange reaction, H+H2 --> H2+H, and its isotopologues. For these collision processes, the significance of interference of probability amplitudes arises because of the existence of two main scattering pathways. The latter could be inelastic and reactive scattering, direct and time-delayed scattering, or two encircling reaction paths that loop in opposite senses around a conical intersection (CI) of the H3 molecular system. Our joint theoretical-experimental investigations of these processes reveal strong interference and geometric phase (GP) effects in state-to-state reaction probabilities and differential cross sections. However, these coherent effects completely cancel in integral cross sections and reaction rate constants, due to efficient dephasing of interference between the different scattering amplitudes. As byproducts of these studies, we highlight the discovery of two novel scattering mechanisms, which contradict conventional textbook pictures of molecular reaction dynamics. The second topic concerns the effect of the Berry phase on molecular photodynamics at conical intersections. To understand this effect, we developed a topological approach that separates the total molecular wavefunction of an unbound molecular system into two components, which wind in opposite senses around the conical intersection. This separation reveals that the only effect of the geometric phase is to change the sign of the relative phase of these two components. This in turn leads to a shift in the interference pattern of the molecular system---a phase shift that is reminiscient of the celebrated Aharonov-Bohm effect. This procedure is numerically illustrated with photodynamics at model standard CIs, as well as strong-field dissociation of diatomics at light-induced conical intersections (LICIs). Besides the fundamental aspect of these studies, their findings allow to interpret and predict the effect of the GP on the state-resolved or angle-resolved spectra of pump-probe experimental schemes, particularly the distributions of photofragments in molecular photodissociation experiments. The third topic pertains to the role of the indistinguishability of identical nuclei in molecular reaction dynamics, with an emphasis on dynamical localization in highly symmetric molecules. The main object of these studies is whether nuclear-spin statistics allow dynamical localization of the electronic, vibrational, or even rotational density on a specific molecular substructure or configuration rather than on another one which is identical (indistinguishable). Group-theoretic analysis of the symmetrized molecular wavefunctions of these systems shows that nuclear permutation symmetry engenders quantum entanglement between the eigenstates of the different molecular degrees of freedom. This subsequently leads to complete quenching of dynamical localization over indistinguishable molecular substructures---an observation that is in sharp contradiction with well known textbook views of iconic molecular processes. This is illustrated with various examples of quantum dynamics in symmetric double-well achiral molecules, such as the prototypical umbrella inversion motion of ammonia, electronic Kekul{\´e} dynamics in the benzene molecule, and coupled electron-nuclear dynamics in laser-induced indirect photodissociation of the dihydrogen molecular cation. The last part of the thesis is devoted to the development of approximate wavefunction approaches for phonon-induced vibrational relaxation of adsorbates (system) at surfaces (bath). Due to the so-called 'curse of dimensionality', these system-bath complexes cannot be handled with standard wavefunction methods. To alleviate the exponential scaling of the latter, we developed approximate yet quite accurate numerical schemes that have a polynomial scaling with respect to the bath dimensionality. The corresponding algorithms combine symmetry-based reductions of the full vibrational Hilbert space and iterative Krylov techniques. These approximate wavefunction approaches resemble the 'Bixon-Jortner model' and the more general 'quantum tier model'. This is illustrated with the decay of H-Si (D-Si) vibrations on a fully H(D)-covered silicon surface, which is modelled with a phonon-bath of more than two thousand oscillators. These approximate methods allow reliable estimation of the adsorbate vibrational lifetimes, and provide some insight into vibration-phonon couplings at solid surfaces. Although this topic is mainly computational, the developed wavefunction approaches permit to describe quantum entanglement between the system and bath states, and to embody some coherent effects in the time-evolution of the (sub-)system, which cannot be accounted for with the widely used 'reduced density matrix formalism'.},

  abstract  = {By using mouse outcross populations in combination with bioinformatic approaches, it was possible to identify and characterize novel genes regulating body weight, fat mass and β-cell function, which all contribute to the pathogenesis of obesity and T2D. In detail, the presented studies identified 1. Ifi202b/IFI16 as adipogenic gene involved in adipocyte commitment, maintenance of white adipocyte identity, fat cell size and the inflammatory state of adipose tissue. 2. Pla2g4a/PLA2G4A as gene linked to increased body weight and fat mass with a higher expression in adipose tissue of obese mice and pigs as well as in obese human subjects. 3. Ifgga2/IRGM as novel regulator of lipophagy protecting from excess hepatic lipid accumulation. 4. Nidd/DBA as a diabetogenic locus containing Kti12, Osbpl9, Ttc39a and Calr4 with differential expression in pancreatic islets and/or genetic variants. 5. miR-31 to be higher expressed in adipose tissue of obese and diabetic mice and humans targeting PPARy and GLUT4 and thereby involved in adipogenesis and insulin signaling. 6. Gjb4 as novel gene triggering the development of T2D by reducing insulin secretion, inducing apoptosis and inhibiting proliferation. The performed studies confirmed the complexity and strong genetic heritability character of obesity and T2D. A high number of genetic variations, each with a small effect, are collectively influencing the degree and severity of the disease. The use of mouse outcross populations is a valid tool for disease gene identification; however, to facilitate and accelerate the process of gene identification the combination of mouse cross data with advanced sequencing resources and the publicly available data sets are essential. The main goal for future studies should be the translation of these novel molecular discoveries to useful treatment therapies. More recently, several classes of novel unimolecular combination therapeutics have emerged with superior efficacy than currently prescribed options and pose the potential to reverse obesity and T2D (Finan et al., 2015). The glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1)- estrogen conjugate, which targets estrogen into cells expressing GLP-1 receptors, was shown to improve energy, glucose and lipid metabolism as well as to reduce food reward (Finan et al., 2012; Schwenk et al., 2014; Vogel et al., 2016). Another possibility is the development of miRNA-based therapeutics to prevent obesity and T2D, such as miRNA mimetics, anti-miRNA oligonucleotides and exosomes loaded with miRNAs (Ji and Guo, 2019; Gottmann et al., 2020). As already described, genome-wide association studies for polygenic obesity and T2D traits in humans have also led to the identification of numerous gene variants with modest effect, most of them having an unknown function (Yazdi et al., 2015). These discoveries resulted in novel animal models and have illuminated new biologic pathways. Therefore, the integration of mouse-human genetic approaches and the utilization of the synergistic effects have the potential to lead to the identification of more genes responsible for common Mendelian forms of obesity and T2D, as well as gene × gene and gene × environment interactions (Yazdi et al., 2015; Ingelsson and McCarthy, 2018). This combination may help to unravel the missing heritability of obesity and T2D, to identify novel drug targets and to design more efficient and personalized obesity prevention and management programs.},

  abstract  = {This habilitation thesis includes seven case studies that examine climate variability during the past 3.5 million years from different temporal and spatial perspectives. The main geographical focus is on the climatic events of the of the African and Asian monsoonal system, the North Atlantic as well as the Arctic Ocean. The results of this study are based on marine and terrestrial climate archives obtained by sedimentological and geochemical methods, and subsequently analyzed by various statistical methods. The results herein presented results provide a picture of the climatic background conditions of past cold and warm periods, the sensitivity of past climatic climate phases in relation to changes in the atmospheric carbon dioxide content, and the tight linkage between the low and high latitude climate system. Based on the results, it is concluded that a warm background climate state strongly influenced and/or partially reversed the linear relationships between individual climate processes that are valid today. Also, the driving force of the low latitudes for climate variability of the high latitudes is emphasized in the present work, which is contrary to the conventional view that the global climate change of the past 3.5 million years was predominantly controlled by the high latitude climate variability. Furthermore, it is found that on long geologic time scales (>1000 years to millions of years), solar irradiance variability due to changes in the Earth-Sun-Moon System may have increased the sensitivity of low and high latitudes to Influenced changes in atmospheric carbon dioxide. Taken together, these findings provide new insights into the sensitivity of past climate phases and provide new background conditions for numerical models, that predict future climate change.},

In the line of this work the author and her co-workers were able to answer one of the major questions concerning the formation of oceanic crust along plume-influenced ridges - in which physical state does the plume material enter the ridge? Based on submarine volcanic glass He, Ne and Ar data, the author and her co-workers have shown that the interaction of mantle plumes with mid-ocean ridges occurs in the physical form of melts. In addition, the author and her co-workers have also put further constraints on one of the major questions concerning the formation of oceanic crust along normal mid-ocean ridges - namely how is the mid-ocean ridge system effectively cooled to form the lower oceanic crust? Based on Ne and Ar data in combination with Cl/K ratios of basaltic glass from the Mid-Atlantic ridge and estimates of crystallisation pressures they have shown, that seawater penetration reaches lower crustal levels close to the Moho, indicating that hydrothermal circulation might be an effective cooling mechanism even for the deep parts of the oceanic crust. Considering subduction recycling, the heterogeneity of the Earth's mantle and mantle dynamic processes the key question is on which temporal and spatial scales is the Earth's mantle geochemically heterogeneous? In the line of this work the author along with her co-workers have shown based on Cl/K ratios in conjunction with the Sr, Nd, and Pb isotopes of the OIBs representing the type localities for the different mantle endmembers that the quantity of Cl recycled into the mantle via subduction is not uniform and that neither the HIMU nor the EM1 and EM2 mantle components can be considered as distinct mantle endmembers. In addition, we have shown, based on He, Ne and Ar isotope and trace-element data from the Foundation hotspot that the near ridge seamounts of the Foundation seamount chain formed by the Foundation hotspot erupt lavas with a trace-element signature clearly characteristic of oceanic gabbro which indicates the existence of recycled, virtually unchanged lower oceanic crust in the plume source. This is a clear sign of the inefficiency of the stirring mechanism existing at mantle depth. Similar features are seen in other near-axis hotspot magmas around the world. Based on He, Sr, Nd, Pb and O isotopes and trace elements in primitive mafic dykes from the Etendeka flood basalts, NW Namibia the author along with her co-workers have shown that deep, less degassed mantle material carried up by a mantle plume contributed significantly to the flood basalt magmatism. The Etendeka flood basalts are part of the South Atlantic LIP, which is associated with the breakup of Gondwana, the formation of the Paran{\´a}-Etendeka flood basalts and the Walvis Ridge - Tristan da Cunha hotspot track. Thus reinforcing the lately often-challenged concept of mantle plumes and the role of mantle plumes in the formation of large igneous provinces. Studying the behaviour of noble gases during melt formation and evolution the author along with her co-workers has shown that He can be considerable more susceptible to changes during melt formation and evolution resulting not only in a complete decoupling of He isotopes from e.g. Ne or Pb isotopes but also in a complete loss of the primary mantle isotope signal. They have also shown that this decoupling occurs mainly during the melt formation processes requiring He to be more compatible during mantle melting than Ne. In addition, the author along with her co workers were able to show that incorporation of atmospheric noble gases into igneous rocks is in general a two-step process: (1) magma contamination by assimilation of altered oceanic crust results in the entrainment of air-equilibrated seawater noble gases; (2) atmospheric noble gases are adsorbed onto grain surfaces during sample preparation. This implies, considering the ubiquitous presence of the contamination signal, that magma contamination by assimilation of a seawater-sourced component is an integral part of mid-ocean ridge basalt evolution.},

  abstract  = {Over millennia, droughts could not be understood or defined but rather were associated with mystical connotations. To understand this natural hazards, we first needed to understand the laws of physics and then develop plausible explanations of inner workings of the hydrological cycle. Consequently, modeling and predicting droughts was out of the scope of mankind until the end of the last century. In recent studies, it is estimated that this natural hazard has caused billions of dollars in losses since 1900 and that droughts have affected 2.2 billion people worldwide between 1950 and 2014. For these reasons, droughts have been identified by the IPCC as the trigger of a web of impacts across many sectors leading to land degradation, migration and substantial socio-economic costs. This thesis summarizes a decade of research carried out at the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research on the subject of drought monitoring, modeling, and forecasting, from local to continental scales. The overarching objectives of this study, systematically addressed in the twelve previous chapters, are: 1) Create the capability to seamless monitor and predict water fluxes at various spatial resolutions and temporal scales varying from days to centuries; 2) Develop and test a modeling chain for monitoring, forecasting and predicting drought events and related characteristics at national and continental scales; and 3) Develop drought indices and impact indicators that are useful for end-users. Key outputs of this study are: the development of the open source model mHM, the German Drought Monitor System, the proof of concept for an European multi-model for improving water managent from local to continental scales, and the prototype of a crop-yield drought impact model for Germany.},

  abstract  = {Food intake is driven by the need for energy but also by the demand for essential nutrients such as protein. Whereas it was well known how diets high in protein mediate satiety, it remained unclear how diets low in protein induce appetite. Therefore, this thesis aims to contribute to the research area of the detection of restricted dietary protein and adaptive responses. This thesis provides clear evidence that the liver-derived hormone fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) is an endocrine signal of a dietary protein restriction, with the cellular amino acid sensor general control nonderepressible 2 (GCN2) kinase acting as an upstream regulator of FGF21 during protein restriction. In the brain, FGF21 is mediating the protein-restricted metabolic responses, e.g. increased energy expenditure, food intake, insulin sensitivity, and improved glucose homeostasis. Furthermore, endogenous FGF21 induced by dietary protein or methionine restriction is preventing the onset of type 2 diabetes in the New Zealand Obese mouse. Overall, FGF21 plays an important role in the detection of protein restriction and macronutrient imbalance in rodents and humans, and mediates both the behavioral and metabolic responses to dietary protein restriction. This makes FGF21 a critical physiological signal of dietary protein restriction, highlighting the important but often overlooked impact of dietary protein on metabolism and eating behavior, independent of dietary energy content.},

  pages     = {171},

  abstract  = {Weltweit sind fast 40 \% der Bev{\"o}lkerung {\"u}bergewichtig und die Pr{\"a}valenz von Adipositas, Insulinresistenz und den resultierenden Folgeerkrankungen wie dem Metabolischen Syndrom und Typ-2-Diabetes steigt rapide an. Als h{\"a}ufigste Ursachen werden di{\"a}tetisches Fehlverhalten und mangelnde Bewegung angesehen. Die nicht-alkoholische Fettlebererkrankung (NAFLD), deren Hauptcharakteristikum die exzessive Akkumulation von Lipiden in der Leber ist, korreliert mit dem Body Mass Index (BMI). NAFLD wird als hepatische Manifestation des Metabolischen Syndroms angesehen und ist inzwischen die h{\"a}ufigste Ursache f{\"u}r Leberfunktionsst{\"o}rungen. Die Erkrankung umfasst sowohl die benigne hepatische Steatose (Fettleber) als auch die progressive Form der nicht-alkoholischen Steatohepatitis (NASH), bei der die Steatose von Entz{\"u}ndung und Fibrose begleitet ist. Die Ausbildung einer NASH erh{\"o}ht das Risiko, ein hepatozellul{\"a}res Karzinom (HCC) zu entwickeln und kann zu irreversibler Leberzirrhose und terminalem Organversagen f{\"u}hren. Nahrungsbestandteile wie Cholesterol und Fett-reiche Di{\"a}ten werden als m{\"o}gliche Faktoren diskutiert, die den {\"U}bergang einer einfachen Fettleber zur schweren Verlaufsform der Steatohepatitis / NASH beg{\"u}nstigen. Eine Ausdehnung des Fettgewebes wird von Insulinresistenz und einer niedrig-gradigen chronischen Entz{\"u}ndung des Fettgewebes begleitet. Neben Endotoxinen aus dem Darm gelangen Entz{\"u}ndungsmediatoren aus dem Fettgewebe zur Leber. Als Folge werden residente Makrophagen der Leber, die Kupfferzellen, aktiviert, die eine Entz{\"u}ndungsantwort initiieren und weitere pro-inflammatorische Mediatoren freisetzen, zu denen Chemokine, Cytokine und Prostanoide wie Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) geh{\"o}ren. In dieser Arbeit soll aufgekl{\"a}rt werden, welchen Beitrag PGE2 an der Ausbildung von Insulinresistenz, hepatischer Steatose und Entz{\"u}ndung im Rahmen von Di{\"a}t-induzierter NASH im komplexen Zusammenspiel mit der Regulation der Cytokin-Produktion und anderen Co-Faktoren wie Hyperinsulin{\"a}mie und Hyperlipid{\"a}mie hat. In murinen und humanen Makrophagen-Populationen wurde untersucht, welche Faktoren die Bildung von PGE2 f{\"o}rdern und wie PGE2 die Entz{\"u}ndungsantwort aktivierter Makrophagen reguliert. In prim{\"a}ren Hepatozyten der Ratte sowie in isolierten humanen Hepatozyten und Zelllinien wurde der Einfluss von PGE2 allein und in Kombination mit Cytokinen, deren Bildung durch PGE2 beeinflusst werden kann, auf die Insulin-abh{\"a}ngige Regulation des Glucose- und Lipid-stoffwechsels untersucht. Um den Einfluss von PGE2 im komplexen Zusammenspiel der Zelltypen in der Leber und im Gesamtorganismus zu erfassen, wurden M{\"a}use, in denen die PGE2-Synthese durch die Deletion der mikrosomalen PGE-Synthase 1 (mPGES1) vermindert war, mit einer NASH-induzierenden Di{\"a}t gef{\"u}ttert. In Lebern von Patienten mit NASH oder in M{\"a}usen mit Di{\"a}t-induzierter NASH war die Expression der PGE2-synthetisierenden Enzyme Cyclooxygenase 2 (COX2) und mPGES1 sowie die Bildung von PGE2 im Vergleich zu gesunden Kontrollen gesteigert und korrelierte mit dem Schweregrad der Lebererkrankung. In prim{\"a}ren Makrophagen aus den Spezies Mensch, Maus und Ratte sowie in humanen Makrophagen-Zelllinien war die Bildung pro-inflammatorischer Mediatoren wie Chemokinen, Cytokinen und Prostaglandinen wie PGE2 verst{\"a}rkt, wenn die Zellen mit Endotoxinen wie Lipopolysaccharid (LPS), Fetts{\"a}uren wie Palmitins{\"a}ure, Cholesterol und Cholesterol-Kristallen oder Insulin, das als Folge der kompensatorischen Hyperinsulin{\"a}mie bei Insulinresistenz verst{\"a}rkt freigesetzt wird, inkubiert wurden. Insulin steigerte dabei synergistisch mit LPS oder Palmitins{\"a}ure die Synthese von PGE2 sowie der anderen Entz{\"u}ndungsmediatoren wie Interleukin (IL) 8 und IL-1β. PGE2 reguliert die Entz{\"u}ndungsantwort: Neben der Induktion der eigenen Synthese-Enzyme verst{\"a}rkte PGE2 die Expression der Immunzell-rekrutierenden Chemokine IL-8 und (C-C-Motiv)-Ligand 2 (CCL2) sowie die der pro-inflammatorischen Cytokine IL-1β und IL-6 in Makrophagen und kann so zur Verst{\"a}rkung der Entz{\"u}ndungsreaktion beitragen. Außerdem f{\"o}rderte PGE2 die Bildung von Oncostatin M (OSM) und OSM induzierte in einer positiven R{\"u}ckkopplungsschleife die Expression der PGE2-synthetisierenden Enzyme. Andererseits hemmte PGE2 die basale und LPS-vermittelte Bildung des potenten pro-inflammatorischen Cytokins Tumornekrosefaktor α (TNFα) und kann so die Entz{\"u}ndungsreaktion abschw{\"a}chen. In prim{\"a}ren Hepatozyten der Ratte und humanen Hepatozyten beeintr{\"a}chtigte PGE2 direkt die Insulin-abh{\"a}ngige Aktivierung der Insulinrezeptor-Signalkette zur Steigerung der Glucose-Verwertung, in dem es durch Signalketten, die den verschiedenen PGE2-Rezeptoren nachgeschaltet sind, Kinasen wie ERK1/2 und IKKβ aktivierte und eine inhibierende Serin-Phosphorylierung der Insulinrezeptorsubstrate bewirkte. PGE2 verst{\"a}rkte außerdem die IL-6- oder OSM-vermittelte Insulinresistenz und Steatose in prim{\"a}ren Hepatozyten der Ratte. Die Wirkung von PGE2 im Gesamtorganismus sollte in M{\"a}usen mit Di{\"a}t-induzierter NASH untersucht werden. Die F{\"u}tterung einer Hochfett-Di{\"a}t mit Schmalz als Fettquelle, das vor allem ges{\"a}ttigte Fetts{\"a}uren enth{\"a}lt, verursachte Fettleibigkeit, Insulinresistenz und eine hepatische Steatose in Wildtyp-M{\"a}usen. In Tieren, die eine Hochfett-Di{\"a}t mit Soja{\"o}l als Fettquelle, das vor allem (ω-6)-mehrfach-unges{\"a}ttigte Fetts{\"a}uren (PUFAs) enth{\"a}lt, oder eine Niedrigfett-Di{\"a}t mit Cholesterol erhielten, war lediglich eine hepatische Steatose nachweisbar, jedoch keine verst{\"a}rkte Gewichtszunahme im Vergleich zu Geschwistertieren, die eine Standard-Di{\"a}t bekamen. Im Gegensatz dazu verursachte die F{\"u}tterung einer Hochfett-Di{\"a}t mit PUFA-reichem Soja{\"o}l als Fettquelle in Kombination mit Cholesterol sowohl Fettleibigkeit und Insulinresistenz als auch hepatische Steatose mit Hepatozyten-Hypertrophie, lobul{\"a}rer Entz{\"u}ndung und beginnender Fibrose in Wildtyp-M{\"a}usen. Diese Tiere spiegelten alle klinischen und histologischen Parameter der humanen NASH im Metabolischen Syndrom wider. Nur die Kombination von hohen Mengen unges{\"a}ttigter Fetts{\"a}uren aus Soja{\"o}l und Cholesterol in der Nahrung f{\"u}hrte zu einer exzessiven Akkumulation des Cholesterols und der Bildung von Cholesterol-Kristallen in den Hepatozyten, die zur Sch{\"a}digung der Mitochondrien, schwerem oxidativem Stress und schließlich zum Absterben der Zellen f{\"u}hrten. Als Konsequenz phagozytieren Kupfferzellen die Zelltr{\"u}mmer der Cholesterol-{\"u}berladenen Hepatozyten, werden dadurch aktiviert, setzen Chemokine, Cytokine und PGE2 frei, die die Entz{\"u}ndungsreaktion verst{\"a}rken und die Infiltration von weiteren Immunzellen initiieren k{\"o}nnen und verursachen so eine Progression zur Steatohepatitis (NASH). Die Deletion der mikrosomalen PGE-Synthase 1 (mPGES1), dem induzierbaren Enzym der PGE2-Synthese aus Cyclooxygenase-abh{\"a}ngigen Vorstufen, reduzierte die Di{\"a}t-abh{\"a}ngige Bildung von PGE2 in der Leber. Die F{\"u}tterung der NASH-induzierenden Di{\"a}t verursachte in Wildtyp- und mPGES1-defizienten M{\"a}usen eine {\"a}hnliche Fettleibigkeit und Zunahme der Fettmasse sowie die Ausbildung von hepatischer Steatose mit Entz{\"u}ndung und Fibrose (NASH) im histologischen Bild. In mPGES1-defizienten M{\"a}usen waren jedoch Parameter f{\"u}r die Infiltration von Entz{\"u}ndungszellen und die Di{\"a}t-abh{\"a}ngige Sch{\"a}digung der Leber im Vergleich zu Wildtyp-Tieren erh{\"o}ht, was sich auch in einer st{\"a}rkeren Di{\"a}t-induzierten systemischen Insulinresistenz widerspiegelte. Die Bildung des pro-inflammatorischen und pro-apoptotischen Cytokins TNFα war in mPGES1-defizienten M{\"a}usen durch die Aufhebung der negativen R{\"u}ckkopplungshemmung verst{\"a}rkt, was einen gesteigerten Di{\"a}t-induzierten Zelluntergang gestresster Lipid-{\"u}berladener Hepatozyten und eine nach-geschaltete Entz{\"u}ndungsantwort zur Folge hatte. Zusammenfassend wurde unter den gew{\"a}hlten Versuchsbedingungen in vivo eine anti-inflammatorische Rolle von PGE2 verifiziert, da das Prostanoid vor allem indirekt durch die Hemmung der TNFα-vermittelten Entz{\"u}ndungsreaktion die Sch{\"a}digung der Leber, die Verst{\"a}rkung der Entz{\"u}ndung und die Ausbildung von Insulinresistenz im Rahmen der Di{\"a}t-abh{\"a}ngigen Fettlebererkrankung abschw{\"a}chte.},

  abstract  = {Individuals differ in their tendency to perceive injustice and in their responses towards these perceptions. Those high in justice sensitivity tend to show intense negative affective, cognitive, and behavioral responses towards injustice that in part also depend on the perspective from which injustice is perceived. The present research project showed that inter-individual differences in justice sensitivity may already be measured and observed in childhood and adolescence and that early adolescence seems an important age-range and developmental stage for the stabilization of these differences. Furthermore, the different justice sensitivity perspectives were related to different forms of externalizing (aggression, ADHD, bullying) and internalizing problem behavior (depressive symptoms) both in children and adolescents as well as in adults in cross-sectional studies. Particularly victim sensitivity may apparently constitute an important risk factor for a broad range of both externalizing and internalizing maladaptive behaviors and mental health problems as shown in those studies using longitudinal data. Regarding aggressive behavior, victim justice sensitivity may even constitute a risk factor above and beyond other important and well-established risk factors for aggression and similar sensitivity constructs that had previously been linked to this kind of behavior. In contrast, observer and perpetrator sensitivity (perpetrator sensitivity in particular) tended to show negative links with externalizing problem behavior and instead predicted prosocial behavior in children and adolescents. However, there were also detached positive relations of perpetrator sensitivity with emotional problems as well as of observer sensitivity with reactive aggression and depressive symptoms. Taken together, the findings from the present research show that justice sensitivity forms in childhood at the latest and that it may have important, long-term influences on pro- and antisocial behavior and mental health. Thus, justice sensitivity requires more attention in research on the prevention and intervention of mental health problems and antisocial behavior, such as aggression.},

  abstract  = {Eco-physiological processes are expressing the interaction of organisms within an environmental context of their habitat and their degree of adaptation, level of resistance as well as the limits of life in a changing environment. The present study focuses on observations achieved by methods used in this scientific discipline of "Ecophysiology" and to enlarge the scientific context in a broader range of understanding with universal character. The present eco-physiological work is building the basis for classifying and exploring the degree of habitability of another planet like Mars by a bio-driven experimentally approach. It offers also new ways of identifying key-molecules which are playing a specific role in physiological processes of tested organisms to serve as well as potential biosignatures in future space exploration missions with the goal to search for life. This has important implications for the new emerging scientific field of Astrobiology. Astrobiology addresses the study of the origin, evolution, distribution and future of life in the universe. The three fundamental questions which are hidden behind this definition are: how does life begin and evolve? Is there life beyond Earth and, if so, how can we detect it? What is the future of life on Earth and in the universe? It means that this multidisciplinary field encompasses the search for habitable environments in our Solar System and habitable planets outside our Solar System. It comprises the search for the evidence of prebiotic chemistry and life on Mars and other bodies in our Solar System like the icy moons of the Jovian and Saturnian system, laboratory and field research into the origins and early evolution of life on Earth, and studies of the potential for life to adapt to challenges on Earth and in space. For this purpose an integrated research strategy was applied, which connects field research, laboratory research allowing planetary simulation experiments with investigation enterprises performed in space (particularly performed in the low Earth Orbit.},

  abstract  = {This cumulative habilitation thesis presents new work on the systematics, paleoecology, and evolution of antelopes and other large mammals, focusing mainly on the late Miocene to Pleistocene terrestrial fossil record of Africa and Arabia. The studies included here range from descriptions of new species to broad-scale analyses of diversification and community evolution in large mammals over millions of years. A uniting theme is the evolution, across both temporal and spatial scales, of the environments and faunas that characterize modern African savannas today. One conclusion of this work is that macroevolutionary changes in large mammals are best characterized at regional (subcontinental to continental) and long-term temporal scales. General views of evolution developed on records that are too restricted in spatial and temporal extent are likely to ascribe too much influence to local or short-lived events. While this distinction in the scale of analysis and interpretation may seem trivial, it is challenging to implement given the geographically and temporally uneven nature of the fossil record, and the difficulties of synthesizing spatially and temporally dispersed datasets. This work attempts to do just that, bringing together primary fossil discoveries from eastern Africa to Arabia, from the Miocene to the Pleistocene, and across a wide range of (mainly large mammal) taxa. The end result is support for hypotheses stressing the impact of both climatic and biotic factors on long-term faunal change, and a more geographically integrated view of evolution in the African fossil record.},

Kernproben (core) und Bohrklein (cuttings) aus vier verschiedenen Bohrprojekten an der San Andreas St{\"o}rung (USA), der Nankai Trough Subduktionszone und der Japan Trench Subduktionszone (Japan), sowie der Alpine St{\"o}rung in Neuseeland wurden untersucht. Die von ICDP (International Continental Scientific Drilling Program) und IODP (International Ocean Discovery Program) unterst{\"u}tzten Projekte verfolgen alle das Ziel, das Verhalten von Erdbeben besser zu verstehen. In Kapitel 1 werden in einer kurzen Einleitung die allgemeinen thematischen Grundlagen und Ziele der Arbeit beschrieben. Kapitel 2 umfasst den Stand der Forschung, eine kurze Beschreibung der einzelnen Bohrprojekte und Standorte, sowie eine Zusammenfassung der wichtigsten Messmethoden. Kapitel 3 beinhaltet insgesamt zehn wissenschaftliche Arbeiten, die alle in einem methodisch-thematischen Zusammenhang stehen. Die Manuskripte wurden in den Jahren 2006-2015 ver{\"o}ffentlicht, wobei weitere Arbeiten aus diesem Themenbereich im Literaturverzeichnis vermerkt sind. Sie gehen auf unterschiedliche Fragestellungen um die Bildung und das Verhalten von Tonmineralen in aktiven St{\"o}rungszonen ein. Insgesamt sechs Publikationen beinhalten Daten und Forschungsergebnisse, die im Rahmen des SAFOD Projektes, USA (San Andreas Fault Observatory at Depth) erstellt wurden. Hier wurde vor allem auf die Fluid-Gesteins-Wechselwirkungsprozesse im St{\"o}rungsgestein und die daraus resultierende Bildung von Tonmineralen eingegangen. Drei weitere Arbeiten wurden im Rahmen des NanTroSEIZE Projektes, Japan (Nankai Trough Seismogenic Zone Experiment) und des JFAST Projektes, Japan (Japan Trench Fast Drilling Project) erstellt. Hier steht vor allem das Verhalten von quellf{\"a}higen Tonmineralen auf sich {\"a}ndernde Umgebungsbedingungen (z.B. Temperatur und Feuchtigkeit) im Mittelpunkt. Die zehnte hier vorgestellte Ver{\"o}ffentlichung betrifft Analysen rund um das DFDP Projekt (Deep Fault Drilling Project) in Neuseeland, wobei hier die Deformation von Tonmineralen und das hydro-mechanische Verhalten der St{\"o}rungszone im Vordergrund stehen. In neun Ver{\"o}ffentlichungen war ich als Erstautor f{\"u}r die Vorbereitung des Projektes, das Erstellen der Daten und die Fertigstellung der Manuskripte zust{\"a}ndig. In einer Publikation war ich als Mitautorin f{\"u}r die elektronenmikroskopischen Analysen und deren Interpretation verantwortlich. Die wichtigsten Ergebnisse der in Kapitel 3 vorgelegten Arbeiten werden in Kapitel 4 unter Ber{\"u}cksichtigung neuer Publikationen diskutiert. Nach der Beschreibung der Thesen in Kapitel 5 werden in Kapitel 6 „Outlook" die Highlights zuk{\"u}nftiger Forschungspl{\"a}ne am GFZ n{\"a}her beschrieben. Die Habilitationsschrift endet mit dem Anhang, in welchem unter anderem das Laborequipment genauer beschrieben wird, sowie die Publikationen, Konferenzbeitr{\"a}ge und Lehrbeitr{\"a}ge aufgelistet sind.},

  abstract  = {The anatomically modern human Homo sapiens sapiens is distinguished by a high adaptability in physiology, physique and behaviour in short term changing environmental conditions. Since our environmental factors are constantly changing because of anthropogenic influences, the question arises as to how far we have an impact on the human phenotype in the very sensitive growth phase in children and adolescents. Growth and development of all children and adolescents follow a universal and typical pattern. This pattern has evolved as the result of trade-offs in the 6-7 million years of human evolution. This typically human growth pattern differs from that of other long-living social primate species. It can be divided into different biological age stages, with specific biological, cognitive and socio-cultural signs. Phenotypic plasticity is the ability of an organism to react to an internal or external environmental input with a change in the form, state, and movement rate of activity (West-Eberhard 2003). The plasticity becomes visible and measurable particularly when, in addition to the normal variability of the phenotypic characteristics within a population, the manifestation of this plasticity changes within a relatively short time. The focus of the present work is the comparison of age-specific dimensional changes. The basic of the presented studies are more than 75,000 anthropometric data-sets of children and adolescence from 1980 up today and historical data of height available in scientific literature. Due to reduced daily physical activity, today's 6-18 year-olds have lower values of pelvic and elbow breadths. The observed increase in body height can be explained by hierarchies in social networks of human societies, contrary to earlier explanations (influence of nutrition, good living conditions and genetics). A shift towards a more feminine fat distribution pattern in boys and girls is parallel to the increase in chemicals in our environment that can affect the hormone system. Changing environmental conditions can have selective effects over generations so that that genotype becomes increasingly prevalent whose individuals have a higher progeny rate than other individuals in this population. Those then form the phenotype which allows optimum adaptation to the changes of the environmental conditions. Due to the slow patterns of succession and the low progeny rate (Hawkes et al. 1998), fast visible in the phenotype due to changes in the genotype of a population are unlikely to occur in the case of Homo sapiens sapiens within short time. In the data sets on which the presented investigations are based, such changes appear virtually impossible. The study periods cover 5-30 to max.100 years (based on data from the body height from historical data sets).},
