  abstract  = {Background: Plant phenotypic data shrouds a wealth of information which, when accurately analysed and linked to other data types, brings to light the knowledge about the mechanisms of life. As phenotyping is a field of research comprising manifold, diverse and time ‑consuming experiments, the findings can be fostered by reusing and combin‑ ing existing datasets. Their correct interpretation, and thus replicability, comparability and interoperability, is possible provided that the collected observations are equipped with an adequate set of metadata. So far there have been no common standards governing phenotypic data description, which hampered data exchange and reuse. Results: In this paper we propose the guidelines for proper handling of the information about plant phenotyping experiments, in terms of both the recommended content of the description and its formatting. We provide a docu‑ ment called "Minimum Information About a Plant Phenotyping Experiment", which specifies what information about each experiment should be given, and a Phenotyping Configuration for the ISA ‑Tab format, which allows to practically organise this information within a dataset. We provide examples of ISA ‑Tab ‑formatted phenotypic data, and a general description of a few systems where the recommendations have been implemented. Conclusions: Acceptance of the rules described in this paper by the plant phenotyping community will help to achieve findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable data.},

  abstract  = {XopJ is a Xanthomonas type III effector protein that promotes bacterial virulence on susceptible pepper plants through the inhibition of the host cell proteasome and a resultant suppression of salicylic acid (SA) - dependent defense responses. We show here that Nicotiana benthamiana leaves transiently expressing XopJ display hypersensitive response (HR) -like symptoms when exogenously treated with SA. This apparent avirulence function of XopJ was further dependent on effector myristoylation as well as on an intact catalytic triad, suggesting a requirement of its enzymatic activity for HR-like symptom elicitation. The ability of XopJ to cause a HR-like symptom development upon SA treatment was lost upon silencing of SGT1 and NDR1, respectively, but was independent of EDS1 silencing, suggesting that XopJ is recognized by an R protein of the CC-NBS-LRR class. Furthermore, silencing of NPR1 abolished the elicitation of HR-like symptoms in XopJ expressing leaves after SA application. Measurement of the proteasome activity indicated that proteasome inhibition by XopJ was alleviated in the presence of SA, an effect that was not observed in NPR1 silenced plants. Our results suggest that XopJ - triggered HR-like symptoms are closely related to the virulence function of the effector and that XopJ follows a two-signal model in order to elicit a response in the non-host plant N. benthamiana.},

  abstract  = {Landslides are frequent natural hazards in rugged terrain, when the resisting frictional force of the surface of rupture yields to the gravitational force. These forces are functions of geological and morphological factors, such as angle of internal friction, local slope gradient or curvature, which remain static over hundreds of years; whereas more dynamic triggering events, such as rainfall and earthquakes, compromise the force balance by temporarily reducing resisting forces or adding transient loads. This thesis investigates landslide distribution and orientation due to landslide triggers (e.g. rainfall) at different scales (6-4∙10^5 km^2) and aims to link rainfall movement with the landslide distribution. It additionally explores the local impacts of the extreme rainstorms on landsliding and the role of precursory stability conditions that could be induced by an earlier trigger, such as an earthquake. Extreme rainfall is a common landslide trigger. Although several studies assessed rainfall intensity and duration to study the distribution of thus triggered landslides, only a few case studies quantified spatial rainfall patterns (i.e. orographic effect). Quantifying the regional trajectories of extreme rainfall could aid predicting landslide prone regions in Japan. To this end, I combined a non-linear correlation metric, namely event synchronization, and radial statistics to assess the general pattern of extreme rainfall tracks over distances of hundreds of kilometers using satellite based rainfall estimates. Results showed that, although the increase in rainfall intensity and duration positively correlates with landslide occurrence, the trajectories of typhoons and frontal storms were insufficient to explain landslide distribution in Japan. Extreme rainfall trajectories inclined northwestwards and were concentrated along some certain locations, such as coastlines of southern Japan, which was unnoticed in the landslide distribution of about 5000 rainfall-triggered landslides. These landslides seemed to respond to the mean annual rainfall rates. Above mentioned findings suggest further investigation on a more local scale to better understand the mechanistic response of landscape to extreme rainfall in terms of landslides. On May 2016 intense rainfall struck southern Germany triggering high waters and landslides. The highest damage was reported at the Braunsbach, which is located on the tributary-mouth fan formed by the Orlacher Bach. Orlacher Bach is a ~3 km long creek that drains a catchment of about ~6 km^2. I visited this catchment in June 2016 and mapped 48 landslides along the creek. Such high landslide activity was not reported in the nearby catchments within ~3300 km^2, despite similar rainfall intensity and duration based on weather radar estimates. My hypothesis was that several landslides were triggered by rainfall-triggered flash floods that undercut hillslope toes along the Orlacher Bach. I found that morphometric features such as slope and curvature play an important role in landslide distribution on this micro scale study site (<10 km^2). In addition, the high number of landslides along the Orlacher Bach could also be boosted by accumulated damages on hillslopes due karst weathering over longer time scales. Precursory damages on hillslopes could also be induced by past triggering events that effect landscape evolution, but this interaction is hard to assess independently from the latest trigger. For example, an earthquake might influence the evolution of a landscape decades long, besides its direct impacts, such as landslides that follow the earthquake. Here I studied the consequences of the 2016 Kumamoto Earthquake (MW 7.1) that triggered some 1500 landslides in an area of ~4000 km^2 in central Kyushu, Japan. Topography, i.e. local slope and curvature, both amplified and attenuated seismic waves, thus controlling the failure mechanism of those landslides (e.g. progressive). I found that topography fails in explaining the distribution and the preferred orientation of the landslides after the earthquake; instead the landslides were concentrated around the northeast of the rupture area and faced mostly normal to the rupture plane. This preferred location of the landslides was dominated mainly by the directivity effect of the strike-slip earthquake, which is the propagation of wave energy along the fault in the rupture direction; whereas amplitude variations of the seismic radiation altered the preferred orientation. I suspect that the earthquake directivity and the asymmetry of seismic radiation damaged hillslopes at those preferred locations increasing landslide susceptibility. Hence a future weak triggering event, e.g. scattered rainfall, could further trigger landslides at those damaged hillslopes.},

  abstract  = {Mit der Liberalisierung des Strommarkts, den unsicheren Aussichten in der Klimapolitik und stark schwankenden Preisen bei Brennstoffen, Emissionsrechten und Kraftwerkskomponenten hat bei Kraftwerksinvestitionen das Risikomanagement an Bedeutung gewonnen. Dies {\"a}ußert sich im vermehrten Einsatz probabilistischer Verfahren. Insbesondere bei regulativen Risiken liefert der klassische, h{\"a}ufigkeitsbasierte Wahrscheinlichkeitsbegriff aber keine Handhabe zur Risikoquantifizierung. In dieser Arbeit werden Kraftwerksinvestitionen und -portfolien in Deutschland mit Methoden des Bayes'schen Risikomanagements bewertet. Die Bayes'sche Denkschule begreift Wahrscheinlichkeit als pers{\"o}nliches Maß f{\"u}r Unsicherheit. Wahrscheinlichkeiten k{\"o}nnen auch ohne statistische Datenanalyse allein mit Expertenbefragungen gewonnen werden. Das Zusammenwirken unsicherer Werttreiber wurde mit einem probabilistischen DCF-Modell (Discounted Cash Flow-Modell) spezifiziert und in ein Einflussdiagramm mit etwa 1200 Objekten umgesetzt. Da der {\"U}berw{\"a}lzungsgrad von Brennstoff- und CO2-Kosten und damit die H{\"o}he der von den Kraftwerken erwirtschafteten Deckungsbeitr{\"a}ge im Wettbewerb bestimmt werden, reicht eine einzelwirtschaftliche Betrachtung der Kraftwerke nicht aus. Strompreise und Auslastungen werden mit Heuristiken anhand der individuellen Position der Kraftwerke in der Merit Order bestimmt, d.h. anhand der nach kurzfristigen Grenzkosten gestaffelten Einsatzreihenfolge. Dazu wurden 113 thermische Großkraftwerke aus Deutschland in einer Merit Order vereinigt. Das Modell liefert Wahrscheinlichkeitsverteilungen f{\"u}r zentrale Gr{\"o}ßen wie Kapitalwerte von Bestandsportfolien sowie Stromgestehungskosten und Kapitalwerte von Einzelinvestitionen (Steinkohle- und Braunkohlekraftwerke mit und ohne CO2-Abscheidung sowie GuD-Kraftwerke). Der Wert der Bestandsportfolien von RWE, E.ON, EnBW und Vattenfall wird prim{\"a}r durch die Beitr{\"a}ge der Braunkohle- und Atomkraftwerke bestimmt. Erstaunlicherweise schl{\"a}gt sich der Emissionshandel nicht in Verlusten nieder. Dies liegt einerseits an den Zusatzgewinnen der Atomkraftwerke, andererseits an den bis 2012 gratis zugeteilten Emissionsrechten, welche hohe Windfall-Profite generieren. Dadurch erweist sich der Emissionshandel in seiner konkreten Ausgestaltung insgesamt als gewinnbringendes Gesch{\"a}ft. {\"U}ber die Restlaufzeit der Bestandskraftwerke resultiert ab 2008 aus der Einf{\"u}hrung des Emissionshandels ein Barwertvorteil von insgesamt 8,6 Mrd. €. In {\"a}hnlicher Dimension liegen die Barwertvorteile aus der 2009 von der Bundesregierung in Aussicht gestellten Laufzeitverl{\"a}ngerung f{\"u}r Atomkraftwerke. Bei einer achtj{\"a}hrigen Laufzeitverl{\"a}ngerung erg{\"a}ben sich je nach CO2-Preisniveau Barwertvorteile von 8 bis 15 Mrd. €. Mit h{\"o}heren CO2-Preisen und Laufzeitverl{\"a}ngerungen von bis zu 28 Jahren w{\"u}rden 25 Mrd. € oder mehr zus{\"a}tzlich anfallen. Langfristig erscheint fraglich, ob unter dem gegenw{\"a}rtigen Marktdesign noch Anreize f{\"u}r Investitionen in fossile Kraftwerke gegeben sind. Zu Beginn der NAP 2-Periode noch rentable Investitionen in Braunkohle- und GuD-Kraftwerke werden mit der auslaufenden Gratiszuteilung von Emissionsrechten zunehmend unrentabler. Die Rentabilit{\"a}t wird durch Strommarkteffekte der erneuerbaren Energien und ausscheidender alter Gas- und {\"O}lkraftwerke stetig weiter untergraben. Steinkohlekraftwerke erweisen sich selbst mit anf{\"a}nglicher Gratiszuteilung als riskante Investition. Die festgestellten Anreizprobleme f{\"u}r Neuinvestitionen sollten jedoch nicht dem Emissionshandel zugeschrieben werden, sondern resultieren aus den an Grenzkosten orientierten Strompreisen. Das Anreizproblem ist allerdings bei moderaten CO2-Preisen am gr{\"o}ßten. Es gilt auch f{\"u}r Kraftwerke mit CO2-Abscheidung: Obwohl die erwarteten Vermeidungskosten f{\"u}r CCS-Kraftwerke gegen{\"u}ber konventionellen Kohlekraftwerken im Jahr 2025 auf 25 €/t CO2 (Braunkohle) bzw. 38,5 €/t CO2 (Steinkohle) gesch{\"a}tzt werden, wird ihr Bau erst ab CO2-Preisen von 50 bzw. 77 €/t CO2 rentabel. Ob und welche Kraftwerksinvestitionen sich langfristig rechnen, wird letztlich aber politisch entschieden und ist selbst unter stark idealisierten Bedingungen kaum vorhersagbar.},

  abstract  = {The Sun is a star, which due to its proximity has a tremendous influence on Earth. Since its very first days mankind tried to "understand the Sun", and especially in the 20th century science has uncovered many of the Sun's secrets by using high resolution observations and describing the Sun by means of models. As an active star the Sun's activity, as expressed in its magnetic cycle, is closely related to the sunspot numbers. Flares play a special role, because they release large energies on very short time scales. They are correlated with enhanced electromagnetic emissions all over the spectrum. Furthermore, flares are sources of energetic particles. Hard X-ray observations (e.g., by NASA's RHESSI spacecraft) reveal that a large fraction of the energy released during a flare is transferred into the kinetic energy of electrons. However the mechanism that accelerates a large number of electrons to high energies (beyond 20 keV) within fractions of a second is not understood yet. The thesis at hand presents a model for the generation of energetic electrons during flares that explains the electron acceleration based on real parameters obtained by real ground and space based observations. According to this model photospheric plasma flows build up electric potentials in the active regions in the photosphere. Usually these electric potentials are associated with electric currents closed within the photosphere. However as a result of magnetic reconnection, a magnetic connection between the regions of different magnetic polarity on the photosphere can establish through the corona. Due to the significantly higher electric conductivity in the corona, the photospheric electric power supply can be closed via the corona. Subsequently a high electric current is formed, which leads to the generation of hard X-ray radiation in the dense chromosphere. The previously described idea is modelled and investigated by means of electric circuits. For this the microscopic plasma parameters, the magnetic field geometry and hard X-ray observations are used to obtain parameters for modelling macroscopic electric components, such as electric resistors, which are connected with each other. This model demonstrates that such a coronal electric current is correlated with large scale electric fields, which can accelerate the electrons quickly up to relativistic energies. The results of these calculations are encouraging. The electron fluxes predicted by the model are in agreement with the electron fluxes deduced from the measured photon fluxes. Additionally the model developed in this thesis proposes a new way to understand the observed double footpoint hard X-ray sources.},

  abstract  = {This thesis investigates the reciprocal relationship between migration and development in Senegal. Therewith, it contributes to the debate as to whether migration in developing countries enhances or rather impedes the development process. Even though extensive and controversial discussions can be found in the scientific literature regarding the impact of migration on development, research has scarcely examined the feedback relationships between migration and development. Science however agrees with both the fact that migration affects development as well as that the level of development in a country determines migration behaviour. Thus, both variables are neither dependent nor independent, but endogenous variables influencing each other and producing behavioural pattern that cannot be investigated using a static and unidirectional approach. On account of this, the thesis studies the feedback mechanisms existing between migration and development and the behavioural pattern generated by the high interdependence in order to be able to draw conclusions concerning the impact of changes in migration behaviour on the development process. To explore these research questions, the study applies the computer simulation method 'System Dynamics' and amplifies the simulation model for national development planning called 'Threshold 21' (T21), representing development processes endogenously and integrating economic, social and environmental aspects, using a structure that portrays the reasons and consequences of migration. The model has been customised to Senegal, being an appropriate representative of the theoretical interesting universe of cases. The comparison of the model generated scenarios - in which the intensity of emigration, the loss and gain of education, the remittances or the level of dependence changes - facilitates the analysis. The present study produces two important results. The first outcome is the development of an integrative framework representing migration and development in an endogenous way and incorporating several aspects of different theories. This model can be used as a starting point for further discussions and improvements and it is a fairly relevant and useful result against the background that migration is not integrated into most of the development planning tools despite its significant impact. The second outcome is the gained insights concerning the feedback relations between migration and development and the impact of changes in migration on development. To give two examples: It could be found that migration impacts development positively, indicated by HDI, but that the dominant behaviour of migration and development is a counteracting behaviour. That means that an increase in emigration leads to an improvement in development, while this in turn causes a decline in emigration, counterbalancing the initial increase. Another insight concerns the discovery that migration causes a decline in education in the short term, but leads to an increase in the long term, after approximately 25 years - a typical worse-before-better behaviour. From these and further observations, important policy implications can be derived for the sending and receiving countries. Hence, by overcoming the unidirectional perspective, this study contributes to an improved understanding of the highly complex relationship between migration and development and their feedback relations.},

  abstract  = {The increasing development of antibiotic resistance in bacteria has been a major problem for years, both in human and veterinary medicine. Prophylactic measures, such as the use of vaccines, are of great importance in reducing the use of antibiotics in livestock. These vaccines are mainly produced based on formaldehyde inactivation. However, the latter damages the recognition elements of the bacterial proteins and thus could reduce the immune response in the animal. An alternative inactivation method developed in this work is based on gentle photodynamic inactivation using carbon nanodots (CNDs) at excitation wavelengths λex > 290 nm. The photodynamic inactivation was characterized on the nonvirulent laboratory strain Escherichia coli K12 using synthesized CNDs. For a gentle inactivation, the CNDs must be absorbed into the cytoplasm of the E. coli cell. Thus, the inactivation through photoinduced formation of reactive oxygen species only takes place inside the bacterium, which means that the outer membrane is neither damaged nor altered. The loading of the CNDs into E. coli was examined using fluorescence microscopy. Complete loading of the bacterial cells could be achieved in less than 10 min. These studies revealed a reversible uptake process allowing the recovery and reuse of the CNDs after irradiation and before the administration of the vaccine. The success of photodynamic inactivation was verified by viability assays on agar. In a homemade flow photoreactor, the fastest successful irradiation of the bacteria could be carried out in 34 s. Therefore, the photodynamic inactivation based on CNDs is very effective. The membrane integrity of the bacteria after irradiation was verified by slide agglutination and atomic force microscopy. The method developed for the laboratory strain E. coli K12 could then be successfully applied to the important avian pathogens Bordetella avium and Ornithobacterium rhinotracheale to aid the development of novel vaccines.},

  abstract  = {Die Elektrosprayionisation (ESI) ist eine der weitverbreitetsten Ionisationstechniken f{\"u}r fl{\"u}ssige Pro-ben in der Massen- und Ionenmobilit{\"a}ts(IM)-Spektrometrie. Aufgrund ihrer schonenden Ionisierung wird ESI vorwiegend f{\"u}r empfindliche, komplexe Molek{\"u}le in der Biologie und Medizin eingesetzt. {\"U}berdies ist sie allerdings f{\"u}r ein sehr breites Spektrum an Substanzklassen anwendbar. Die IM-Spektrometrie wurde urspr{\"u}nglich zur Detektion gasf{\"o}rmiger Proben entwickelt, die haupts{\"a}chlich durch radioaktive Quellen ionisiert werden. Sie ist die einzige analytische Methode, bei der Isomere in Echtzeit getrennt und {\"u}ber ihre charakteristische IM direkt identifiziert werden k{\"o}nnen. ESI wurde in den 90ger Jahren durch die Hill Gruppe in die IM-Spektrometrie eingef{\"u}hrt. Die Kombination wird bisher jedoch nur von wenigen Gruppen verwendet und hat deshalb noch ein hohes Entwick-lungspotential. Ein vielversprechendes Anwendungsfeld ist der Einsatz in der Hochleistungs-fl{\"u}ssigkeitschromatographie (HPLC) zur mehrdimensionalen Trennung. Heutzutage ist die HPLC die Standardmethode zur Trennung komplexer Proben in der Routineanalytik. HPLC-Trennungsg{\"a}nge sind jedoch h{\"a}ufig langwierig und der Einsatz verschiedener Laufmittel, hoher Flussraten, von Puffern, sowie Laufmittelgradienten stellt hohe Anforderungen an die Detektoren. Die ESI-IM-Spektrometrie wurde in einigen Studien bereits als HPLC-Detektor eingesetzt, war dort bisher jedoch auf Flussratensplitting oder geringe Flussraten des Laufmittels beschr{\"a}nkt. In dieser kumulativen Doktorarbeit konnte daher erstmals ein ESI IM-Spektrometer als HPLC-Detektor f{\"u}r den Flussratenbereich von 200-1500 μl/min entwickelt werden. Anhand von f{\"u}nf Publi-kationen wurden (1) {\"u}ber eine umfassende Charakterisierung die Eignung des Spektrometers als HPLC-Detektor festgestellt, (2) ausgew{\"a}hlte komplexe Trenng{\"a}nge pr{\"a}sentiert und (3) die Anwen-dung zum Reaktionsmonitoring und (4, 5) m{\"o}gliche Weiterentwicklungen gezeigt. Erfolgreich konnten mit dem selbst-entwickelten ESI IM-Spektrometer typische HPLC-Bedingungen wie Wassergehalte im Laufmittel von bis zu 90\%, Pufferkonzentrationen von bis zu 10 mM, sowie Nachweisgrenzen von bis zu 50 nM erreicht werden. Weiterhin wurde anhand der komplexen Trennungsg{\"a}nge (24 Pestizide/18 Aminos{\"a}uren) gezeigt, dass die HPLC und die IM-Spektrometrie eine hohe Orthogonalit{\"a}t besitzen. Eine effektive Peakkapazit{\"a}t von 240 wurde so realisiert. Auf der HPLC-S{\"a}ule koeluierende Substanzen konnten {\"u}ber die Driftzeit getrennt und {\"u}ber ihre IM identifi-ziert werden, sodass die Gesamttrennzeiten erheblich minimiert werden konnten. Die Anwend-barkeit des ESI IM-Spektrometers zur {\"U}berwachung chemischer Synthesen wurde anhand einer dreistufigen Reaktion demonstriert. Es konnten die wichtigsten Edukte, Zwischenprodukte und Produkte aller Stufen identifiziert werden. Eine quantitative Auswertung war sowohl {\"u}ber eine kurze HPLC-Vortrennung als auch durch die Entwicklung eines eigenen Kalibrierverfahrens, welches die Ladungskonkurrenz bei ESI ber{\"u}cksichtigt, ohne HPLC m{\"o}glich. Im zweiten Teil der Arbeit werden zwei Weiterentwicklungen des Spektrometers pr{\"a}sentiert. Eine M{\"o}glichkeit ist die Reduzierung des Drucks in den intermedi{\"a}ren Bereich (300 - 1000 mbar) mit dem Ziel der Verringerung der ben{\"o}tigten Spannungen. Mithilfe von Streulichtbildern und Strom-Spannungs-Kurven wurden f{\"u}r geringe Dr{\"u}cke eine verminderte Freisetzung der Analyt-Ionen aus den Tropfen festgestellt. Die Verluste konnten jedoch {\"u}ber h{\"o}here elektrische Feldst{\"a}rken ausgeglichen werden, sodass gleiche Nachweisgrenzen bei 500 mbar und bei 1 bar erreicht wurden. Die zweite Weiterentwicklung ist ein neuartiges Ionentors mit Pulsschaltung, welches eine Verdopplung der Aufl{\"o}sung auf bis zu R > 100 bei gleicher Sensitivit{\"a}t erm{\"o}glichte. Eine denkbare Anwendung im Bereich der Peptidanalytik wurde mit beachtlichen Aufl{\"o}sungen der Peptide von R = 90 gezeigt.},

  abstract  = {The occurrence of earthquakes is characterized by a high degree of spatiotemporal complexity. Although numerous patterns, e.g. fore- and aftershock sequences, are well-known, the underlying mechanisms are not observable and thus not understood. Because the recurrence times of large earthquakes are usually decades or centuries, the number of such events in corresponding data sets is too small to draw conclusions with reasonable statistical significance. Therefore, the present study combines both, numerical modeling and analysis of real data in order to unveil the relationships between physical mechanisms and observational quantities. The key hypothesis is the validity of the so-called "critical point concept" for earthquakes, which assumes large earthquakes to occur as phase transitions in a spatially extended many-particle system, similar to percolation models. New concepts are developed to detect critical states in simulated and in natural data sets. The results indicate that important features of seismicity like the frequency-size distribution and the temporal clustering of earthquakes depend on frictional and structural fault parameters. In particular, the degree of quenched spatial disorder (the "roughness") of a fault zone determines whether large earthquakes occur quasiperiodically or more clustered. This illustrates the power of numerical models in order to identify regions in parameter space, which are relevant for natural seismicity. The critical point concept is verified for both, synthetic and natural seismicity, in terms of a critical state which precedes a large earthquake: a gradual roughening of the (unobservable) stress field leads to a scale-free (observable) frequency-size distribution. Furthermore, the growth of the spatial correlation length and the acceleration of the seismic energy release prior to large events is found. The predictive power of these precursors is, however, limited. Instead of forecasting time, location, and magnitude of individual events, a contribution to a broad multiparameter approach is encouraging.},

We present a compact microfluidic cell culture and electrochemical analysis platform with in-built fluid handling and detection, enabling complete cell based assays comprising on-line electrode cleaning, sterilization, surface functionalization, cell seeding, cultivation and electrochemical real-time monitoring of cellular dynamics. To demonstrate the versatility and multifunctionality of the platform, we explored amperometric monitoring of intracellular redox activity in yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) and detection of exocytotically released dopamine from rat pheochromocytoma cells (PC12). Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was used in both applications for monitoring cell sedimentation and adhesion as well as proliferation in the case of PC12 cells. The influence of flow rate on the signal amplitude in the detection of redox metabolism as well as the effect of mechanical stimulation on dopamine release were demonstrated using the programmable fluid handling capability. The here presented platform is aimed at applications utilizing cell based assays, ranging from e.g. monitoring of drug effects in pharmacological studies, characterization of neural stem cell differentiation, and screening of genetically modified microorganisms to environmental monitoring.},

  abstract  = {Predicting future thaw slump activity requires a sound understanding of the atmospheric drivers and geomorphic controls on mass wasting across a range of timescales. On sub-seasonal timescales, sparse measurements indicate that mass wasting at active slumps is often limited by the energy available for melting ground ice, but other factors such as rainfall or the formation of an insulating veneer may also be relevant. To study the sub-seasonal drivers, we derive topographic changes from single-pass radar interferometric data acquired by the TanDEM-X satellites. The estimated elevation changes at 12m resolution complement the commonly observed planimetric retreat rates by providing information on volume losses. Their high vertical precision (around 30 cm), frequent observations (11 days) and large coverage (5000 km(2)) allow us to track mass wasting as drivers such as the available energy change during the summer of 2015 in two study regions. We find that thaw slumps in the Tuktoyaktuk coastlands, Canada, are not energy limited in June, as they undergo limited mass wasting (height loss of around 0 cm day 1) despite the ample available energy, suggesting the widespread presence of early season insulating snow or debris veneer. Later in summer, height losses generally increase (around 3 cm day 1), but they do so in distinct ways. For many slumps, mass wasting tracks the available energy, a temporal pattern that is also observed at coastal yedoma cliffs on the Bykovsky Peninsula, Russia. However, the other two common temporal trajectories are asynchronous with the available energy, as they track strong precipitation events or show a sudden speed-up in late August respectively. The observed temporal patterns are poorly related to slump characteristics like the headwall height. The contrasting temporal behaviour of nearby thaw slumps highlights the importance of complex local and temporally varying controls on mass wasting.},

Knowledge of the metabolic capabilities of different species-groups to form mycotoxins is of importance for a reliable risk assessment. 93 Altemaria strains belonging to the four species groups Alternaria tenuissima, A. arborescens, A. altemata, and A. infectoria were isolated from winter wheat kernels harvested from fields in Germany and Russia and incubated under equal conditions. Chemical analysis by means of an HPLC-MS/MS multi-Alternaria-toxin-method showed that 95\% of all strains were able to form at least one of the targeted 17 non-host specific Altemaria toxins. Simultaneous production of up to 15 (modified) Altemaria toxins by members of the A. tenuissima, A. arborescens, A. altemata species-groups and up to seven toxins by A. infectoria strains was demonstrated. Overall tenuazonic acid was the most extensively formed mycotoxin followed by alternariol and alternariol mono methylether, whereas altertoxin I was the most frequently detected toxin. Sulfoconjugated modifications of alternariol, alternariol mono methylether, altenuisol and altenuene were frequently determined. Unknown perylene quinone derivatives were additionally detected. Strains of the species-group A. infectoria could be segregated from strains of the other three species-groups due to significantly lower toxin levels and the specific production of infectopyrone. Apart from infectopyrone, alterperylenol was also frequently produced by 95\% of the A. infectoria strains. Neither by the concentration nor by the composition of the targeted Altemaria toxins a differentiation between the species-groups A. altemata, A. tenuissima and A. arborescens was possible.},

  abstract  = {Alternaria (A.) is a genus of widespread fungi capable of producing numerous, possibly health-endangering Alternaria toxins (ATs), which are usually not the focus of attention. The formation of ATs depends on the species and complex interactions of various environmental factors and is not fully understood. In this study the influence of temperature (7 °C, 25 °C), substrate (rice, wheat kernels) and incubation time (4, 7, and 14 days) on the production of thirteen ATs and three sulfoconjugated ATs by three different Alternaria isolates from the species groups A. tenuissima and A. infectoria was determined. High-performance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry was used for quantification. Under nearly all conditions, tenuazonic acid was the most extensively produced toxin. At 25 °C and with increasing incubation time all toxins were formed in high amounts by the two A. tenuissima strains on both substrates with comparable mycotoxin profiles. However, for some of the toxins, stagnation or a decrease in production was observed from day 7 to 14. As opposed to the A. tenuissima strains, the A. infectoria strain only produced low amounts of ATs, but high concentrations of stemphyltoxin III. The results provide an essential insight into the quantitative in vitro AT formation under different environmental conditions, potentially transferable to different field and storage conditions},

  abstract  = {We recently demonstrated that the sympathetic nervous system can be voluntarily activated following a training program consisting of cold exposure, breathing exercises, and meditation. This resulted in profound attenuation of the systemic inflammatory response elicited by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) administration. Herein, we assessed whether this training program affects the plasma metabolome and if these changes are linked to the immunomodulatory effects observed. A total of 224 metabolites were identified in plasma obtained from 24 healthy male volunteers at six timepoints, of which 98 were significantly altered following LPS administration. Effects of the training program were most prominent shortly after initiation of the acquired breathing exercises but prior to LPS administration, and point towards increased activation of the Cori cycle. Elevated concentrations of lactate and pyruvate in trained individuals correlated with enhanced levels of anti-inflammatory interleukin (IL)-10. In vitro validation experiments revealed that co-incubation with lactate and pyruvate enhances IL-10 production and attenuates the release of pro-inflammatory IL-1 beta and IL-6 by LPS-stimulated leukocytes. Our results demonstrate that practicing the breathing exercises acquired during the training program results in increased activity of the Cori cycle. Furthermore, this work uncovers an important role of lactate and pyruvate in the anti-inflammatory phenotype observed in trained subjects.},

  abstract  = {Unlike for other retroviruses, only a few host cell factors that aid the replication of foamy viruses (FVs) via interaction with viral structural components are known. Using a yeast-two-hybrid (Y2H) screen with prototype FV (PFV) Gag protein as bait we identified human polo-like kinase 2 (hPLK2), a member of cell cycle regulatory kinases, as a new interactor of PFV capsids. Further Y2H studies confirmed interaction of PFV Gag with several PLKs of both human and rat origin. A consensus Ser-Thr/Ser-Pro (S-T/S-P) motif in Gag, which is conserved among primate FVs and phosphorylated in PFV virions, was essential for recognition by PLKs. In the case of rat PLK2, functional kinase and polo-box domains were required for interaction with PFV Gag. Fluorescently-tagged PFV Gag, through its chromatin tethering function, selectively relocalized ectopically expressed eGFP-tagged PLK proteins to mitotic chromosomes in a Gag STP motif-dependent manner, confirming a specific and dominant nature of the Gag-PLK interaction in mammalian cells. The functional relevance of the Gag-PLK interaction was examined in the context of replication-competent FVs and single-round PFV vectors. Although STP motif mutated viruses displayed wild type (wt) particle release, RNA packaging and intra-particle reverse transcription, their replication capacity was decreased 3-fold in single-cycle infections, and up to 20-fold in spreading infections over an extended time period. Strikingly similar defects were observed when cells infected with single-round wt Gag PFV vectors were treated with a pan PLK inhibitor. Analysis of entry kinetics of the mutant viruses indicated a post-fusion defect resulting in delayed and reduced integration, which was accompanied with an enhanced preference to integrate into heterochromatin. We conclude that interaction between PFV Gag and cellular PLK proteins is important for early replication steps of PFV within host cells.},

  abstract  = {Models are useful tools for understanding and predicting ecological patterns and processes. Under ongoing climate and biodiversity change, they can greatly facilitate decision-making in conservation and restoration and help designing adequate management strategies for an uncertain future. Here, we review the use of spatially explicit models for decision support and to identify key gaps in current modelling in conservation and restoration. Of 650 reviewed publications, 217 publications had a clear management application and were included in our quantitative analyses. Overall, modelling studies were biased towards static models (79\%), towards the species and population level (80\%) and towards conservation (rather than restoration) applications (71\%). Correlative niche models were the most widely used model type. Dynamic models as well as the gene-to-individual level and the community-to-ecosystem level were underrepresented, and explicit cost optimisation approaches were only used in 10\% of the studies. We present a new model typology for selecting models for animal conservation and restoration, characterising model types according to organisational levels, biological processes of interest and desired management applications. This typology will help to more closely link models to management goals. Additionally, future efforts need to overcome important challenges related to data integration, model integration and decision-making. We conclude with five key recommendations, suggesting that wider usage of spatially explicit models for decision support can be achieved by 1) developing a toolbox with multiple, easier-to-use methods, 2) improving calibration and validation of dynamic modelling approaches and 3) developing best-practise guidelines for applying these models. Further, more robust decision-making can be achieved by 4) combining multiple modelling approaches to assess uncertainty, and 5) placing models at the core of adaptive management. These efforts must be accompanied by long-term funding for modelling and monitoring, and improved communication between research and practise to ensure optimal conservation and restoration outcomes.},

  abstract  = {Species respond to environmental change by dynamically adjusting their geographical ranges. Robust predictions of these changes are prerequisites to inform dynamic and sustainable conservation strategies. Correlative species distribution models (SDMs) relate species' occurrence records to prevailing environmental factors to describe the environmental niche. They have been widely applied in global change context as they have comparably low data requirements and allow for rapid assessments of potential future species' distributions. However, due to their static nature, transient responses to environmental change are essentially ignored in SDMs. Furthermore, neither dispersal nor demographic processes and biotic interactions are explicitly incorporated. Therefore, it has often been suggested to link statistical and mechanistic modelling approaches in order to make more realistic predictions of species' distributions for scenarios of environmental change. In this thesis, I present two different ways of such linkage. (i) Mechanistic modelling can act as virtual playground for testing statistical models and allows extensive exploration of specific questions. I promote this 'virtual ecologist' approach as a powerful evaluation framework for testing sampling protocols, analyses and modelling tools. Also, I employ such an approach to systematically assess the effects of transient dynamics and ecological properties and processes on the prediction accuracy of SDMs for climate change projections. That way, relevant mechanisms are identified that shape the species' response to altered environmental conditions and which should hence be considered when trying to project species' distribution through time. (ii) I supplement SDM projections of potential future habitat for black grouse in Switzerland with an individual-based population model. By explicitly considering complex interactions between habitat availability and demographic processes, this allows for a more direct assessment of expected population response to environmental change and associated extinction risks. However, predictions were highly variable across simulations emphasising the need for principal evaluation tools like sensitivity analysis to assess uncertainty and robustness in dynamic range predictions. Furthermore, I identify data coverage of the environmental niche as a likely cause for contrasted range predictions between SDM algorithms. SDMs may fail to make reliable predictions for truncated and edge niches, meaning that portions of the niche are not represented in the data or niche edges coincide with data limits. Overall, my thesis contributes to an improved understanding of uncertainty factors in predictions of range dynamics and presents ways how to deal with these. Finally I provide preliminary guidelines for predictive modelling of dynamic species' response to environmental change, identify key challenges for future research and discuss emerging developments.},

  abstract  = {This research deals with R. Zadok's innovative writings. According to most scholars R. Zadok continues the doctrine of his rabbi R. Mordechai Yosef Leiner of Izbica and introduces existential fatalism: man has the freedom to act against the customary law, according to God's will which is revealed in his heart, even in his passions, which exceed the Halacha; however, man does not determine the will that is revealed in the root of his soul, but only uncovers it. Many expressions, in content and form, of this fatalism can be found in R. Zadok's writings; yet, he also introduces many remarks about human free choice and its creative power to establish and determine man's root and re-establish and influence the Divine worlds and this world. This research focuses on these passages whose centrality has been so far neglected by research. Hence, its renewed understanding of his doctrine. R. Zadok's position can be explained by means of the paradoxical perception, which claims the full strength of the two opposites and even a mutual influence between them, which creates a difficult yet fertile tension: as opposed to the a priori intellectual and formal process of fatalism where Divine Foreknowledge eliminates free choice, R. Zadok introduces fatality which identifies in reality itself the Divine foreknowledge and will that exist in all things. In R. Zadok's fatality, Divine foreknowledge does not eliminate free choice; on the contrary, without Divine foreknowledge, nothing has existence. Therefore, only the existence of Divine foreknowledge within free choice enables its true and indeed free fulfillment. R. Zadok's ontological perception is realized not only in the direct content of his words but also indirectly, in the method of his exegesis and the sense he gives to the concepts he discusses. Therefore the fatality is revealed in other areas in which there is a gap between the absolute dimension ('Yedi'ah') and the contingent dimension ('Bechirah'): the lie, imagination, evil, sin, suffering etc., indeed contingent compared with the absoluteness of truth, good, etc.; however, according to R. Zadok, God wants them as such - that is to say, they have an essential existence and actuality that are not absolute, but rather as such: as contingent, temporary and relative. However, these essential existence and actuality do not confirm them as they are but create a transformation within them. For example, evil does not become absolute good or remains evil but rather turns into 'Very Good' (Tov Me'od) which includes evil and according to Rabbi Zadok is greater than regular good. From this, rises also the opposite influence: that of free choice, or contingent Bechira in general, on Divine Foreknowledge, or absolute Yediah in general. According to R. Zadok, when the contingency and relativity of "Bechirah" received its essential existence and actuality, it has the power so to speak, to add dynamism to the permanent Divine absoluteness of the 'Yedi'ah': the affliction (Nega; נגע) of sin or suffering turns by itself, by interchanging its letters, into pleasure (Oneg; ענג) which is greater than regular delight. Man has the power to influence the upper worlds by decreeing decrees or by canceling Divine decrees; he also has the power to influence the daily novelties of this world, by the novellaes of the Oral Law and the sanctification of the new month which is capable of changing the movement of the zodiac. The human creativity of the novellae of the Oral Law is included in the Divine truth which is hidden in the Written Law and it only reveals and interprets the latter; but on the other hand, according to R. Zadok, the source of the dynamic vital novellaes of the Oral Law is higher than the source of the permanent absoluteness of Written Law and they are those which create and determine the latter. R. Zadok introduces two main concepts for his paradox: On the ontological perception - Yichud Gamur, the Ultimate Unification of God, in which the contingent duality (between God and His creation, and the choice it enables) of the Lower Unification paradoxically exists with the absolute unification and Divine Foreknowledge of the Upper Unification. On the perception of man's existential situation - HaShoresh HaNe'elam, The Hidden Root: unlike Rabbi Mordechai Yosef, his rabbi, rabbi Zadok claims that man determines his destiny by his willful contingent actions - yet, simultaneously, like his rabbi, he also claims that the man's permanent root is determined by God and His Foreknowledge and it is what determines his actions for better or worse. But above these R. Zadok points to an additional Hidden Root which is higher than the permanent one: it is indeed an absolute root (Yediah) yet is determined and established by man's willful actions (Bechira), similar to the Divine creation of 'ex nihilo'.},

  abstract  = {With recent advances in the area of information extraction, automatically extracting structured information from a vast amount of unstructured textual data becomes an important task, which is infeasible for humans to capture all information manually. Named entities (e.g., persons, organizations, and locations), which are crucial components in texts, are usually the subjects of structured information from textual documents. Therefore, the task of named entity mining receives much attention. It consists of three major subtasks, which are named entity recognition, named entity linking, and relation extraction. These three tasks build up an entire pipeline of a named entity mining system, where each of them has its challenges and can be employed for further applications. As a fundamental task in the natural language processing domain, studies on named entity recognition have a long history, and many existing approaches produce reliable results. The task is aiming to extract mentions of named entities in text and identify their types. Named entity linking recently received much attention with the development of knowledge bases that contain rich information about entities. The goal is to disambiguate mentions of named entities and to link them to the corresponding entries in a knowledge base. Relation extraction, as the final step of named entity mining, is a highly challenging task, which is to extract semantic relations between named entities, e.g., the ownership relation between two companies. In this thesis, we review the state-of-the-art of named entity mining domain in detail, including valuable features, techniques, evaluation methodologies, and so on. Furthermore, we present two of our approaches that focus on the named entity linking and relation extraction tasks separately. To solve the named entity linking task, we propose the entity linking technique, BEL, which operates on a textual range of relevant terms and aggregates decisions from an ensemble of simple classifiers. Each of the classifiers operates on a randomly sampled subset of the above range. In extensive experiments on hand-labeled and benchmark datasets, our approach outperformed state-of-the-art entity linking techniques, both in terms of quality and efficiency. For the task of relation extraction, we focus on extracting a specific group of difficult relation types, business relations between companies. These relations can be used to gain valuable insight into the interactions between companies and perform complex analytics, such as predicting risk or valuating companies. Our semi-supervised strategy can extract business relations between companies based on only a few user-provided seed company pairs. By doing so, we also provide a solution for the problem of determining the direction of asymmetric relations, such as the ownership_of relation. We improve the reliability of the extraction process by using a holistic pattern identification method, which classifies the generated extraction patterns. Our experiments show that we can accurately and reliably extract new entity pairs occurring in the target relation by using as few as five labeled seed pairs.},

  abstract  = {Background Protein kinases constitute a particularly large protein family in Arabidopsis with important functions in cellular signal transduction networks. At the same time Arabidopsis is a model plant with high frequencies of gene duplications. Here, we have conducted a systematic analysis of the Arabidopsis kinase complement, the kinome, with particular focus on gene duplication events. We matched Arabidopsis proteins to a Hidden-Markov Model of eukaryotic kinases and computed a phylogeny of 942 Arabidopsis protein kinase domains and mapped their origin by gene duplication. Results The phylogeny showed two major clades of receptor kinases and soluble kinases, each of which was divided into functional subclades. Based on this phylogeny, association of yet uncharacterized kinases to families was possible which extended functional annotation of unknowns. Classification of gene duplications within these protein kinases revealed that representatives of cytosolic subfamilies showed a tendency to maintain segmentally duplicated genes, while some subfamilies of the receptor kinases were enriched for tandem duplicates. Although functional diversification is observed throughout most subfamilies, some instances of functional conservation among genes transposed from the same ancestor were observed. In general, a significant enrichment of essential genes was found among genes encoding for protein kinases. Conclusions The inferred phylogeny allowed classification and annotation of yet uncharacterized kinases. The prediction and analysis of syntenic blocks and duplication events within gene families of interest can be used to link functional biology to insights from an evolutionary viewpoint. The approach undertaken here can be applied to any gene family in any organism with an annotated genome.},

  abstract  = {Throughout the last ~3 million years, the Earth's climate system was characterised by cycles of glacial and interglacial periods. The current warm period, the Holocene, is comparably stable and stands out from this long-term cyclicality. However, since the industrial revolution, the climate has been increasingly affected by a human-induced increase in greenhouse gas concentrations. While instrumental observations are used to describe changes over the past ~200 years, indirect observations via proxy data are the main source of information beyond this instrumental era. These data are indicators of past climatic conditions, stored in palaeoclimate archives around the Earth. The proxy signal is affected by processes independent of the prevailing climatic conditions. In particular, for sedimentary archives such as marine sediments and polar ice sheets, material may be redistributed during or after the initial deposition and subsequent formation of the archive. This leads to noise in the records challenging reliable reconstructions on local or short time scales. This dissertation characterises the initial deposition of the climatic signal and quantifies the resulting archive-internal heterogeneity and its influence on the observed proxy signal to improve the representativity and interpretation of climate reconstructions from marine sediments and ice cores. To this end, the horizontal and vertical variation in radiocarbon content of a box-core from the South China Sea is investigated. The three-dimensional resolution is used to quantify the true uncertainty in radiocarbon age estimates from planktonic foraminifera with an extensive sampling scheme, including different sample volumes and replicated measurements of batches of small and large numbers of specimen. An assessment on the variability stemming from sediment mixing by benthic organisms reveals strong internal heterogeneity. Hence, sediment mixing leads to substantial time uncertainty of proxy-based reconstructions with error terms two to five times larger than previously assumed. A second three-dimensional analysis of the upper snowpack provides insights into the heterogeneous signal deposition and imprint in snow and firn. A new study design which combines a structure-from-motion photogrammetry approach with two-dimensional isotopic data is performed at a study site in the accumulation zone of the Greenland Ice Sheet. The photogrammetry method reveals an intermittent character of snowfall, a layer-wise snow deposition with substantial contributions by wind-driven erosion and redistribution to the final spatially variable accumulation and illustrated the evolution of stratigraphic noise at the surface. The isotopic data show the preservation of stratigraphic noise within the upper firn column, leading to a spatially variable climate signal imprint and heterogeneous layer thicknesses. Additional post-depositional modifications due to snow-air exchange are also investigated, but without a conclusive quantification of the contribution to the final isotopic signature. Finally, this characterisation and quantification of the complex signal formation in marine sediments and polar ice contributes to a better understanding of the signal content in proxy data which is needed to assess the natural climate variability during the Holocene.},

  abstract  = {Objective: We investigated the effects of combined balance and strength training on measures of balance and muscle strength in older women with a history of falls. Methods: Twenty-seven older women aged 70.4 ± 4.1 years (age range: 65 to 75 years) were randomly allocated to either an intervention (IG, n = 12) or an active control (CG, n = 15) group. The IG completed 8 weeks combined balance and strength training program with three sessions per week including visual biofeedback using force plates. The CG received physical therapy and gait training at a rehabilitation center. Training volumes were similar between the groups. Pre and post training, tests were applied for the assessment of muscle strength (weight-bearing squat [WBS] by measuring the percentage of body mass borne by each leg at different knee flexions [0°, 30°, 60°, and 90°], sit-to-stand test [STS]), and balance. Balance tests used the modified clinical test of sensory interaction (mCTSIB) with eyes closed (EC) and opened (EO), on stable (firm) and unstable (foam) surfaces as well as spatial parameters of gait such as step width and length (cm) and walking speed (cm/s). Results: Significant group × time interactions were found for different degrees of knee flexion during WBS (0.0001 < p < 0.013, 0.441 < d < 0.762). Post hoc tests revealed significant pre-to-post improvements for both legs and for all degrees of flexion (0.0001 < p < 0.002, 0.697 < d < 1.875) for IG compared to CG. Significant group × time interactions were found for firm EO, foam EO, firm EC, and foam EC (0.006 < p < 0.029; 0.302 < d < 0.518). Post hoc tests showed significant pre-to-post improvements for both legs and for all degrees of oscillations (0.0001 < p < 0.004, 0.753 < d < 2.097) for IG compared to CG. This study indicates that combined balance and strength training improved percentage distribution of body weight between legs at different conditions of knee flexion (0°, 30°, 60°, and 90°) and also decreased the sway oscillation on a firm surface with eyes closed, and on foam surface (with eyes opened or closed) in the IG. Conclusion: The higher positive effects of training seen in standing balance tests, compared with dynamic tests, suggests that balance training exercises including lateral, forward, and backward exercises improved static balance to a greater extent in older women.},

  abstract  = {Background: Agility in general and change-of-direction speed (CoD) in particular represent important performance determinants in elite soccer. Objectives: The objectives of this study were to determine the effects of a 6-week neuromuscular training program on agility performance, and to determine differences in movement times between the slower and faster turning directions in elite soccer players. Materials and Methods: Twenty male elite soccer players from the Stade Rennais Football Club (Ligue 1, France) participated in this study. The players were randomly assigned to a neuromuscular training group (NTG, n = 10) or an active control (CG, n = 10) according to their playing position. NTG participated in a 6-week, twice per week neuromuscular training program that included CoD, plyometric and dynamic stability exercises. Neuromuscular training replaced the regular warm-up program. Each training session lasted 30 min. CG continued their regular training program. Training volume was similar between groups. Before and after the intervention, the two groups performed a reactive agility test that included 180° left and right body rotations followed by a 5-m linear sprint. The weak side was defined as the left/right turning direction that produced slower overall movement times (MT). Reaction time (RT) was assessed and defined as the time from the first appearance of a visual stimulus until the athlete's first movement. MT corresponded to the time from the first movement until the athlete reached the arrival gate (5 m distance). Results: No significant between-group baseline differences were observed for RT or MT. Significant group x time interactions were found for MT (p = 0.012, effect size = 0.332, small) for the slower and faster directions (p = 0.011, effect size = 0.627, moderate). Significant pre-to post improvements in MT were observed for NTG but not CG (p = 0.011, effect size = 0.877, moderate). For NTG, post hoc analyses revealed significant MT improvements for the slower (p = 0.012, effect size = 0.897, moderate) and faster directions (p = 0.017, effect size = 0.968, moderate). Conclusion: Our results illustrate that 6 weeks of neuromuscular training with two sessions per week included in the warm-up program, significantly enhanced agility performance in elite soccer players. Moreover, improvements were found on both sides during body rotations. Thus, practitioners are advised to focus their training programs on both turning directions.},

  abstract  = {In this work, some new results to exploit the recurrence properties of quasiperiodic dynamical systems are presented by means of a two dimensional visualization technique, Recurrence Plots(RPs). Quasiperiodicity is the simplest form of dynamics exhibiting nontrivial recurrences, which are common in many nonlinear systems. The concept of recurrence was introduced to study the restricted three body problem and it is very useful for the characterization of nonlinear systems. I have analyzed in detail the recurrence patterns of systems with quasiperiodic dynamics both analytically and numerically. Based on a theoretical analysis, I have proposed a new procedure to distinguish quasiperiodic dynamics from chaos. This algorithm is particular useful in the analysis of short time series. Furthermore, this approach demonstrates to be efficient in recognizing regular and chaotic trajectories of dynamical systems with mixed phase space. Regarding the application to real situations, I have shown the capability and validity of this method by analyzing time series from fluid experiments.},

  abstract  = {Lava domes are severely hazardous, mound-shaped extrusions of highly viscous lava and commonly erupt at many active stratovolcanoes around the world. Due to gradual growth and flank oversteepening, such lava domes regularly experience partial or full collapses, resulting in destructive and far-reaching pyroclastic density currents. They are also associated with cyclic explosive activity as the complex interplay of cooling, degassing, and solidification of dome lavas regularly causes gas pressurizations on the dome or the underlying volcano conduit. Lava dome extrusions can last from days to decades, further highlighting the need for accurate and reliable monitoring data. This thesis aims to improve our understanding of lava dome processes and to contribute to the monitoring and prediction of hazards posed by these domes. The recent rise and sophistication of photogrammetric techniques allows for the extraction of observational data in unprecedented detail and creates ideal tools for accomplishing this purpose. Here, I study natural lava dome extrusions as well as laboratory-based analogue models of lava dome extrusions and employ photogrammetric monitoring by Structure-from-Motion (SfM) and Particle-Image-Velocimetry (PIV) techniques. I primarily use aerial photography data obtained by helicopter, airplanes, Unoccupied Aircraft Systems (UAS) or ground-based timelapse cameras. Firstly, by combining a long time-series of overflight data at Volc{\´a}n de Colima, M{\´e}xico, with seismic and satellite radar data, I construct a detailed timeline of lava dome and crater evolution. Using numerical model, the impact of the extrusion on dome morphology and loading stress is further evaluated and an impact on the growth direction is identified, bearing important implications for the location of collapse hazards. Secondly, sequential overflight surveys at the Santiaguito lava dome, Guatemala, reveal surface motion data in high detail. I quantify the growth of the lava dome and the movement of a lava flow, showing complex motions that occur on different timescales and I provide insight into rock properties relevant for hazard assessment inferred purely by photogrammetric processing of remote sensing data. Lastly, I recreate artificial lava dome and spine growth using analogue modelling under controlled conditions, providing new insights into lava extrusion processes and structures as well as the conditions in which they form. These findings demonstrate the capabilities of photogrammetric data analyses to successfully monitor lava dome growth and evolution while highlighting the advantages of complementary modelling methods to explain the observed phenomena. The results presented herein further bear important new insights and implications for the hazards posed by lava domes.},

  abstract  = {This dissertation examines the integration of incongruent visual-scene and morphological-case information ("cues") in building thematic-role representations of spoken relative clauses in German. Addressing the mutual influence of visual and linguistic processing, the Coordinated Interplay Account (CIA) describes a mechanism in two steps supporting visuo-linguistic integration (Knoeferle \& Crocker, 2006, Cog Sci). However, the outcomes and dynamics of integrating incongruent thematic-role representations from distinct sources have been investigated scarcely. Further, there is evidence that both second-language (L2) and older speakers may rely on non-syntactic cues relatively more than first-language (L1)/young speakers. Yet, the role of visual information for thematic-role comprehension has not been measured in L2 speakers, and only limitedly across the adult lifespan. Thematically unambiguous canonically ordered (subject-extracted) and noncanonically ordered (object-extracted) spoken relative clauses in German (see 1a-b) were presented in isolation and alongside visual scenes conveying either the same (congruent) or the opposite (incongruent) thematic relations as the sentence did. 1 a Das ist der Koch, der die Braut verfolgt. This is the.NOM cook who.NOM the.ACC bride follows This is the cook who is following the bride. b Das ist der Koch, den die Braut verfolgt. This is the.NOM cook whom.ACC the.NOM bride follows This is the cook whom the bride is following. The relative contribution of each cue to thematic-role representations was assessed with agent identification. Accuracy and latency data were collected post-sentence from a sample of L1 and L2 speakers (Zona \& Felser, 2023), and from a sample of L1 speakers from across the adult lifespan (Zona \& Reifegerste, under review). In addition, the moment-by-moment dynamics of thematic-role assignment were investigated with mouse tracking in a young L1 sample (Zona, under review). The following questions were addressed: (1) How do visual scenes influence thematic-role representations of canonical and noncanonical sentences? (2) How does reliance on visual-scene, case, and word-order cues vary in L1 and L2 speakers? (3) How does reliance on visual-scene, case, and word-order cues change across the lifespan? The results showed reliable effects of incongruence of visually and linguistically conveyed thematic relations on thematic-role representations. Incongruent (vs. congruent) scenes yielded slower and less accurate responses to agent-identification probes presented post-sentence. The recently inspected agent was considered as the most likely agent ~300ms after trial onset, and the convergence of visual scenes and word order enabled comprehenders to assign thematic roles predictively. L2 (vs. L1) participants relied more on word order overall. In response to noncanonical clauses presented with incongruent visual scenes, sensitivity to case predicted the size of incongruence effects better than L1-L2 grouping. These results suggest that the individual's ability to exploit specific cues might predict their weighting. Sensitivity to case was stable throughout the lifespan, while visual effects increased with increasing age and were modulated by individual interference-inhibition levels. Thus, age-related changes in comprehension may stem from stronger reliance on visually (vs. linguistically) conveyed meaning. These patterns represent evidence for a recent-role preference - i.e., a tendency to re-assign visually conveyed thematic roles to the same referents in temporally coordinated utterances. The findings (i) extend the generalizability of CIA predictions across stimuli, tasks, populations, and measures of interest, (ii) contribute to specifying the outcomes and mechanisms of detecting and indexing incongruent representations within the CIA, and (iii) speak to current efforts to understand the sources of variability in sentence comprehension.},

  abstract  = {The innovative dual-purpose chicken approach aims at contributing to the transition towards sustainable poultry production by avoiding the culling of male chickens. To successfully integrate sustainability aspects into innovation, goal congruency among actors and clearly communicating the added value within the actor network and to consumers is needed. The challenge of identifying common sustainability goals calls for decision support tools. The objectives of our research were to investigate whether the tool could assist in improving communication and marketing with respect to sustainability and optimizing the value chain organization. Three actor groups participated in the tool application, in which quantitative and qualitative data were collected. The results showed that there were manifold sustainability goals within the innovation network, but only some goals overlapped, and the perception of their implementation also diverged. While easily marketable goals such as 'animal welfare' were perceived as being largely implemented, economic goals were prioritized less often, and the implementation was perceived as being rather low. By visualizing congruencies and differences in the goals, the tool helped identify fields of action, such as improved information flows and prompted thinking processes. We conclude that the tool is useful for managing complex decision processes with several actors involved.},

In this study, we generated a mouse model with overexpression of Asm (Asm-tg(fb)) that is restricted to the forebrain to rule out any systemic effects of Asm overexpression on depressive-like symptoms. The increase in Asm activity was higher in male Asm-tg(fb) mice than in female Asm-tg(fb) mice due to the breeding strategy, which allows for the generation of wild-type littermates as appropriate controls. Asm overexpression in the forebrain of male mice resulted in a depressive-like phenotype, whereas in female mice, Asm overexpression resulted in a social anxiogenic-like phenotype. Ceramides in male Asm-tg(fb) mice were elevated specifically in the dorsal hippocampus. mRNA expression analyses indicated that the increase in Asm activity affected other ceramide-generating pathways, which might help to balance ceramide levels in cortical brain regions. This forebrain-specific mouse model offers a novel tool for dissecting the molecular mechanisms that play a role in the pathophysiology of major depression.},

  abstract  = {Institutionelle Bildung ist f{\"u}r autistische Lernende mit vielgestaltigen und spezifischen Hindernissen verbunden. Dies gilt insbesondere im Zusammenhang mit Inklusion, deren Relevanz nicht zuletzt durch das {\"U}bereinkommen der Vereinten Nationen {\"u}ber die Rechte von Menschen mit Behinderung gegeben ist. Diese Arbeit diskutiert zahlreiche lernrelevante Besonderheiten im Kontext von Autismus und zeigt Diskrepanzen zu den nicht immer ausreichend angemessenen institutionellen Lehrkonzepten. Eine zentrale These ist hierbei, dass die ungew{\"o}hnlich intensive Aufmerksamkeit von Autist*innen f{\"u}r ihre Spezialinteressen daf{\"u}r genutzt werden kann, das Lernen mit fremdgestellten Inhalten zu erleichtern. Darauf aufbauend werden L{\"o}sungsans{\"a}tze diskutiert, welche in einem neuartigen Konzept f{\"u}r ein digitales mehrger{\"a}tebasiertes Lernspiel resultieren. Eine wesentliche Herausforderung bei der Konzeption spielbasierten Lernens besteht in der ad{\"a}quaten Einbindung von Lerninhalten in einen fesselnden narrativen Kontext. Am Beispiel von {\"U}bungen zur emotionalen Deutung von Mimik, welche f{\"u}r das Lernen von sozioemotionalen Kompetenzen besonders im Rahmen von Therapiekonzepten bei Autismus Verwendung finden, wird eine angemessene Narration vorgestellt, welche die st{\"o}rungsarme Einbindung dieser sehr speziellen Lerninhalte erm{\"o}glicht. Die Effekte der einzelnen Konzeptionselemente werden anhand eines prototypisch entwickelten Lernspiels untersucht. Darauf aufbauend zeigt eine quantitative Studie die gute Akzeptanz und Nutzerfreundlichkeit des Spiels und belegte vor allem die Verst{\"a}ndlichkeit der Narration und der Spielelemente. Ein weiterer Schwerpunkt liegt in der minimalinvasiven Untersuchung m{\"o}glicher St{\"o}rungen des Spielerlebnisses durch den Wechsel zwischen verschiedenen Endger{\"a}ten, f{\"u}r die ein innovatives Messverfahren entwickelt wurde. Im Ergebnis beleuchtet diese Arbeit die Bedeutung und die Grenzen von spielbasierten Ans{\"a}tzen f{\"u}r autistische Lernende. Ein großer Teil der vorgestellten Konzepte l{\"a}sst sich auf andersartige Lernszenarien {\"u}bertragen. Das daf{\"u}r entwickelte technische Framework zur Realisierung narrativer Lernpfade ist ebenfalls darauf vorbereitet, f{\"u}r weitere Lernszenarien, gerade auch im institutionellen Kontext, Verwendung zu finden.},

Two versions of Collins's (1991) figural rating scale were presented: the original scale (figures arranged ascendingly) and a modified version (randomized figure ordering. Ratings of current and ideal figure were elicited and body dissatisfaction was calculated. All children were randomly assigned to one of two subgroups and completed both scale versions in a different sequence. There were no significant differences in figure selection and body dissatisfaction between the two figure orderings. Regarding the selection of the current figure, results showed that girls are more affected by the silhouette ordering than boys. Our results suggest that figure rating scales are both valid and reliable, whereby correlation coefficients reveal greater stability for ideal figure selections and body dissatisfaction ratings when using the scale with ascending figure ordering.},

  abstract  = {In canoe sprint, the trunk muscles play an important role in stabilizing the body in an unstable environment (boat) and in generating forces that are transmitted through the shoulders and arms to the paddle for propulsion of the boat. Isokinetic training is well suited for sports in which propulsion is generated through water resistance due to similarities in the resistive mode. Thus, the purpose of this study was to determine the effects of isokinetic training in addition to regular sport-specific training on trunk muscular fitness and body composition in world-class canoeists and to evaluate associations between trunk muscular fitness and canoe-specific performance. Nine world-class canoeists (age: 25.6 ± 3.3 years; three females; four world champions; three Olympic gold medalists) participated in an 8-week progressive isokinetic training with a 6-week block "muscle hypertrophy" and a 2-week block "muscle power." Pre- and post-tests included the assessment of peak isokinetic torque at different velocities in concentric (30 and 140∘s-1) and eccentric (30 and 90∘s-1) mode, trunk muscle endurance, and body composition (e.g., body fat, segmental lean mass). Additionally, peak paddle force was assessed in the flume at a water current of 3.4 m/s. Significant pre-to-post increases were found for peak torque of the trunk rotators at 30∘s-1 (p = 0.047; d = 0.4) and 140∘s-1 (p = 0.014; d = 0.7) in concentric mode. No significant pre-to-post changes were detected for eccentric trunk rotator torque, trunk muscle endurance, and body composition (p > 0.148). Significant medium-to-large correlations were observed between concentric trunk rotator torque but not trunk muscle endurance and peak paddle force, irrespective of the isokinetic movement velocity (all r ≥ 0.886; p ≤ 0.008). Isokinetic trunk rotator training is effective in improving concentric trunk rotator strength in world-class canoe sprinters. It is recommended to progressively increase angular velocity from 30∘s-1 to 140∘s-1 over the course of the training period.},

  abstract  = {Energy - there is something to it. There is, of course, the matter-of-fact definition in every student encyclopedia: "the capacity to do mechanical work, transfer heat, or emit light." In this way, energy accompanies us, often undetected, all day long: getting out of bed, turning on the heat, switching on the lights, taking a hot shower, getting dressed, making coffee, having breakfast - before we have even left the house, we have already released, transformed, applied, and refueled a lot of energy. And we haven't even worked, at least not in the traditional sense. But energy is not just a physical quantity that, due to its omnipresence, plays a key role in every natural science discipline, such as biology and chemistry, but also in almost every technical field. It is also indispensable when it comes to how we understand and describe our world and our activities - and it has been for a long time. How about an example? The Greek philosopher Aristotle was the first to speak of en{\´e}rgeia, for him a rather nonphysical thing, a living "reality and effectiveness " - that which makes the possible real. About 2,100 years later, the uncrowned king of German literature Johann Wolfgang von Goethe declared it to be a humanistic essence. "What can we call our own if not energy, strength, and will!" And for his contemporary Wilhelm von Humboldt, energy "was the human's first and only virtue". Although physics began to dominate the concept of energy when it became the leading science in the 19th century, energy remained significant in many areas. Reason enough for us to take a look at energy-related matters at the University of Potsdam. We found them in a wide range of disciplines: While Iranian physicist Safa Shoaee is researching how organic materials can be used to manufacture the solar cells of the future, Swedish environmental researcher Johan Lilliestam is focusing on the different dimensions of the energy transition to learn what makes it successful. Slavicist Susanne Str{\"a}tling, on the other hand, crosses the boundaries of her discipline as she examines a complex conceptual history and tries to find out why energy electrifies us today more than ever. And physicist Markus G{\"u}hr is able to use ultrashort flashes of light to investigate how molecules change under its influence and convert energy in the process. Of course, we have enough energy to highlight the diversity of research at the University of Potsdam besides the feature topic of this issue. A cognitive researcher, for example, explains why our brain processes both music and language according to its own respective rhythm, while an environmental researcher presents a method that uses particles from outer space to measure soil moisture. Educational researchers have also launched a study on hate speech in schools and we introduce a palaeoclimatologist who is one of twelve researchers in the new postdoc program at the University of Potsdam. We have spared no energy!},

  abstract  = {Menschen wollen wissen, was wirklich ist. Kinder lassen sich gern eine Geschichte erz{\"a}hlen, aber sp{\"a}testens mit vier Jahren fragten meine, ob diese Geschichte so passiert sei oder nur erfunden. Das setzt sich fort: Auch unsere wissenschaftliche Neugier wird vom Interesse befeuert herauszufinden, was wirklich ist. Selbst dort, wo wir poetische Texte oder Tr{\"a}ume erforschen, tun wir es in der Absicht, die realen sprachlichen Strukturen bzw. die neurologischen Faktoren von bloß vermuteten zu unterscheiden. Im Idealfall k{\"o}nnen wir Ergebnisse pr{\"a}sentieren, die von anderen logisch nachvollzogen und empirisch wiederholbar sind. Meistens geht das aber nicht. Wir k{\"o}nnen nicht jedes Buch lesen und nicht in jedes Mikroskop schauen, nicht einmal innerhalb der eigenen Disziplin. Wie viel mehr sind wir in der Lebenswelt darauf angewiesen, den Ausf{\"u}hrungen anderer zu vertrauen, wenn wir wissen wollen, wo es zum Bahnhof geht oder ob es in Ulan Bator sch{\"o}n ist. Deshalb haben wir uns daran gew{\"o}hnt, anderen Glauben zu schenken, vom Freund bis zum Tagesschausprecher. Das ist kein kindliches Verhalten, sondern eine Notwendigkeit. Freilich ist das riskant, denn alle anderen k{\"o}nnten uns - wie in der „Truman- Show" - anl{\"u}gen. In der Wirklichkeit wissen wir uns erst dann, wenn wir unser Selbstbewusstsein verlassen und akzeptieren, dass wir erstens nicht nur Objekte, sondern Subjekte im Bewusstsein von anderen sind, und zweitens, dass alle unsere dialogischen Beziehungen noch einmal von einem Dritten betrachtet werden, der nicht Teil dieser Welt ist. F{\"u}r Religi{\"o}se ist das der Glaube. Glaube als Unterstellung, dass alle menschlichen Beziehungen erst dann wirklich, ernst und {\"u}ber Zweifel erhaben sind, wenn sie sich vor den Augen Gottes wissen. Erst vor ihm ist etwas als es selbst und nicht nur „f{\"u}r mich" oder „unter uns". Daher unterscheidet die biblische Sprache drei Formen des Glaubens: die Beziehung zur Ding-Welt („glauben, dass"), die Beziehung zur Subjekt-Welt („jemandem glauben") und die Annahme einer subjekthaften {\"u}berirdischen Wirklichkeit („glauben an"). Wissenschaftstheoretisch gesehen ist Glaube also eine Totalhypothese. Glaube ist nicht das Gegenteil von Wissen, sondern der Versuch, Wirklichkeit vor dem Zweifel zu retten, indem man die fragile empirische Welt als Ausdruck einer stabilen transzendenten Welt begreift. Oft wollen Studierende in Gespr{\"a}chen nicht nur wissen, was ich weiß, sondern, was ich glaube. Als Religionswissenschaftler und gleichzeitig gl{\"a}ubiger Katholik sitze ich zwischen den St{\"u}hlen: Einerseits ist es als Professor meine Aufgabe, alles zu bezweifeln, d.h. jeden religi{\"o}sen Text auf seine historischen Kontexte und soziologischen Funktionen zur{\"u}ckzuf{\"u}hren. Andererseits h{\"a}lt der Christ in mir bestimmte religi{\"o}se Dokumente - in meinem Fall die Bibel - zwar f{\"u}r einen interpretierbaren, aber doch irreversiblen, offenbarten Text, der vom Ursprung der Wirklichkeit handelt. Werktags ist das Neue Testament eine antike Schriftensammlung neben vielen anderen, am Sonntag ist es die Offenbarung. Beides kann klar unterschieden werden, aber es ist schwer zu entscheiden, ob das Zweifeln oder das Glauben wirklicher ist. Das vorliegende Heft geht diesem doppelten Verh{\"a}ltnis zum Glauben nach: Wie steht Wissenschaft zum Glauben - ob religi{\"o}s oder nicht? Wo bringt Wissenschaft Dinge ans Licht, die wir kaum glauben m{\"o}gen oder uns (wieder) glauben lassen? Was passiert, wenn Forschung irrige Annahmen oder Mythen aufkl{\"a}rt? Ist Wissenschaft in der Lage, Dingen auf den Grund zu gehen, die zwar {\"u}berzeugend, aber unerkl{\"a}rbar sind? Wie kann sie selbst glaubw{\"u}rdig bleiben und sich dennoch weiterentwickeln? In den Beitr{\"a}gen dieser „Portal Wissen" scheinen diese Fragen immer wieder auf. Sie bilden ein vielf{\"a}ltiges, spannendes und auch {\"u}berraschendes Bild der Forschungsprojekte und der Wissenschaftler an der Universit{\"a}t Potsdam. Glauben Sie mir, es erwartet Sie eine anregende Lekt{\"u}re! Prof. Dr. Johann Hafner Professor f{\"u}r Religionswissenschaft mit dem Schwerpunkt Christentum Dekan der Philosophischen Fakult{\"a}t},

Ich {\"u}berlegte zudem, ob eine Publikation mich als Arbeitnehmerin wie Privatperson angreifbar machen w{\"u}rde. Doch nach dem Erscheinen der Portal 1/2021 erreichten uns in der Pressestelle viele Danksagungen und Ermunterungen aus ganz unterschiedlichen Bereichen der Universit{\"a}t. Das Thema schien einen Nerv getroffen zu haben, was uns veranlasste, eine komplette Ausgabe zu diesem Thema zu produzieren. So halten Sie nun die Portal „Familie und Beruf" in den H{\"a}nden! Familie beschr{\"a}nkt sich im Jahr 2021 dabei nicht auf „Mutter, Vater, Kind", sondern manifestiert sich vielmehr in großer Diversit{\"a}t. Wir haben mit Menschen gesprochen, die in gleichgeschlechtlichen Partnerschaften leben, die Kinder adoptiert haben oder die ihr Haustier als Familienmitglied lieben; mit Alleinerziehenden genauso wie mit Paaren, die traumatisierte Pflegekinder großziehen. Dieses Heft zeigt eine Vielfalt unserer Kolleginnen und Kollegen, unserer Studierenden und macht deutlich: Familie ist bunt. Unterm Strich k{\"o}nnen wir festhalten, dass heute viel Flexibilit{\"a}t von uns verlangt wird - daheim wie im B{\"u}ro, H{\"o}rsaal oder Labor. Die Herausforderung ist und bleibt kontinuierlich: Verschiedene Lebensbereiche m{\"u}ssen in wechselnden Lebensphasen unter einen Hut gebracht werden. Wenn diese Portal vor Ihnen liegt, werde ich aufgrund einer befristeten Anstellung nicht mehr Teil der Uni Potsdam sein. Daf{\"u}r ist Dr. Jana Scholz aus ihrer Elternzeit zur{\"u}ckgekehrt. Was mich mit ihr - und mutmaßlich auch mit Ihnen als Leserinnen und Leser - doch bleibend verbindet, ist das Bestreben, Familie und Beruf in Einklang zu bringen. Alles Gute! (Sandy Bossier-Steuerwald) Liebe Leserinnen und Leser, es bleibt nicht viel zu erg{\"a}nzen. Außer: Falls Sie nach dem Lesen dieser Ausgabe den Eindruck haben sollten, dass Familie vor allem herausfordernd und kr{\"a}ftezehrend ist - dann haben wir uns missverstanden. Dem ist nat{\"u}rlich nicht so! Familie ist auch N{\"a}he, Zusammenhalt, Spaß, Humor und vieles mehr. An den Herausforderungen, die sie an uns und unseren Beruf stellt, k{\"o}nnen wir wachsen. Und dies gelingt besonders, wenn wir ein Netz von Freunden, Kolleginnen und Vorgesetzen haben, das uns dabei unterst{\"u}tzt. Wie immer bietet die Portal {\"u}ber den Titel hinaus einen bunten Strauß an Geschichten: von magnetischen Kunstwerken, mit denen Studierende die Stadt versch{\"o}nern, {\"u}ber eine angehende Rabbinerin, die Feminismus in die Gemeinden bringen will, bis zu den urzeitlichen sizilianischen Zwergelefanten, die {\"u}ber Jahrtausende schrumpften, bis sie vor 19.000 Jahren ganz verschwanden. Ich w{\"u}nsche Ihnen viel Vergn{\"u}gen beim Lesen! (Dr. Jana Scholz)},

  abstract  = {Language is perhaps the most universal tool of human beings. It enables us to express ourselves, to communicate and understand, to help and get help, to create and share togetherness. However, that does not completely capture the value of language. "Language belongs to the character of man," said the English philosopher Sir Francis Bacon. If you believe the poet Johann Gottfried von Herder, a human is "only a human through language". Ultimately, this means that we live in our world not with, but in, language. We not only describe our reality by means of language, but language is the device through which we open up the world in the first place. It is always there and shapes and influences us and the way we perceive, analyze, describe and ultimately determine everything around us. Since it is so deeply connected with human nature, it is hardly surprising that our language has always been in the center of academic research - and not only in those fields that bear the name linguistics. Philosophy and media studies, neurology and psychology, computer science and semiotics - all of them are based on linguistic structures and their premises and possibilities. Since July 2017, a scientific network at the University of Potsdam has been working on exactly this interface: the Collaborative Research Center "Limits of Variability in Language" (SFB 1287), funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG). Linguists, computer scientists, psychologists, and neurologists examine where language is or is not flexible. They hope to find out more about individual languages and their connections. In this issue of Portal Wissen, we asked SFB spokeswoman Isabell Wartenburger and deputy spokesman Malte Zimmermann to talk about language, its variability and limits, and how they investigate these aspects. We also look over the shoulders of two researchers who are working on sub-projects: Germanist Heike Wiese and her team examine whether the pandemonium of the many different languages spoken at a weekly market in Berlin is creating a new language with its own rules. Linguist Doreen Georgi embarks on a typological journey around the world comparing about 30 languages to find out if they have common limits. We also want to introduce other research projects at the University of Potsdam and the people behind them. We talk to biologists about biodiversity and ecological dynamics, and the founders of the startup "visionYOU" explain how entrepreneurship can be combined with social responsibility. Other discussions center round the effective production of antibodies and the question of whether the continued use of smartphones will eventually make us speechless. But do not worry: we did not run out of words - the magazine is full of them! Enjoy your reading! The Editors},

  abstract  = {Sprache ist das vielleicht universellste Werkzeug, {\"u}ber das wir Menschen verf{\"u}gen. Mit ihr k{\"o}nnen wir uns ausdr{\"u}cken und mitteilen, verst{\"a}ndigen und verstehen, helfen und Hilfe bekommen, ein Miteinander schaffen und daran teilhaben. Doch damit ist der Wert von Sprache keineswegs vollst{\"a}ndig erfasst. „Die Sprache geh{\"o}rt zum Charakter des Menschen", meinte der englische Philosoph Sir Francis Bacon. Und glaubt man dem Dichter Johann Gottfried von Herder, ist der Mensch gar „Mensch nur durch Sprache". Das bedeutet letztlich, wir sind in der Welt nicht mit, sondern in Sprache. Wir beschreiben unsere Wirklichkeit nicht allein mithilfe sprachlicher Mittel, Sprache ist die Brille, durch die wir uns die Welt {\"u}berhaupt erschließen. Sie ist immer schon da und pr{\"a}gt uns und die Weise, wie wir alles um uns herum wahrnehmen und analysieren, beschreiben und letztlich auch bestimmen. Derart tief mit dem Wesen des Menschen verbunden, wundert es kaum, dass unsere Sprache seit jeher im Fokus wissenschaftlicher Forschung steht. Und zwar nicht nur jener, die sich dem Namen nach als Sprachwissenschaft zu erkennen gibt. Philosophie und Medienwissenschaft, Neurologie und Psychologie, Informatik und Semiotik - sie alle gehen sprachlichen Strukturen, ihren Voraussetzungen und ihren M{\"o}glichkeiten nach. Seit Juli 2017 arbeitet an genau dieser Schnittstelle an der Universit{\"a}t Potsdam ein wissenschaftliches Netzwerk: der von der Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) gef{\"o}rderte Sonderforschungsbereich „Grenzen der Variabilit{\"a}t in der Sprache" (SFB 1287). Gemeinsam untersuchen darin Linguisten, Informatiker, Psychologen und Neurologen, wo Sprache flexibel ist - und wo nicht. Dadurch hoffen sie, nicht nur mehr {\"u}ber einzelne Sprachen herauszufinden, sondern auch, was sie verbindet. In der vorliegenden Ausgabe der Portal Wissen haben wir die Sprecherin des SFB Isabell Wartenburger und ihrem Stellvertreter Malte Zimmermann gebeten, mit uns ins Gespr{\"a}ch zu kommen - {\"u}ber Sprache, ihre Variabilit{\"a}t, deren Grenzen und wie man beides erforscht. Außerdem haben wir zwei Wissenschaftlerinnen bei der Arbeit an ihren Teilprojekten {\"u}ber die Schulter geschaut: Die Germanistin Heike Wiese untersucht mit ihrem Team, ob auf einem Berliner Wochenmarkt, wo Sprachen aus fast allen Teilen der Welt zu h{\"o}ren sind, aus einem wilden Durcheinander eine neue Sprache mit eigenen Regeln entsteht. Und die Linguistin Doreen Georgi begibt sich auf eine typologische Weltreise, bei der sie rund 30 Sprachen miteinander vergleicht, um herauszufinden, ob sie gemeinsame Grenzen haben. Zugleich wollen wir auch auf andere Forschungsprojekte an der Universit{\"a}t Potsdam und die Menschen dahinter zu sprechen kommen. So ließ uns ein Mathematiker erkennen, was Fußball mit Mathematik zu tun hat und warum diese Verbindung in der Schule gut ankommt. Außerdem sprachen wir mit einer Anglistin {\"u}ber afroamerikanische Literatur im 19. Jahrhundert, f{\"u}hrte uns ein Chemiker durch das Gebiet der Angewandten Analytischen Photonik und eine Juristin erkl{\"a}rte uns den Unterschied zwischen dem franz{\"o}sischen und dem deutschen Strafrecht. Wir diskutierten mit zwei Medienwissenschaftlern und einem Religionswissenschaftler {\"u}ber Computer- und Videospiele von ihren Anf{\"a}ngen bis heute und lernten von den Gr{\"u}ndern des Start-ups „visionYOU", wie sich Unternehmertum mit sozialer Verantwortung verbinden l{\"a}sst. In vielen weiteren Gespr{\"a}chen ging es unter anderem um Fernsehen 4.0, Artenvielfalt und {\"o}kologische Dynamik, ein Training zum achtsamen Essen, die effektive Produktion von Antik{\"o}rpern und die Frage, ob uns die Dauernutzung von Smartphones am Ende sprachlos macht. Aber keine Angst: Uns sind die Worte nicht ausgegangen - das Heft ist voll davon! Viel Vergn{\"u}gen beim Lesen! Die Redaktion},

  abstract  = {Uns lernend zu ver{\"a}ndern, ist eine der wichtigsten Eigenschaften, die wir Menschen haben. Wir werden geboren und k{\"o}nnen - scheinbar - nichts, m{\"u}ssen uns alles erst erschließen, abschauen, aneignen: greifen und laufen, essen und sprechen. Nat{\"u}rlich auch lesen und rechnen. Inzwischen wissen wir: Damit werden wir nie fertig. Im besten Fall lernen wir ein Leben lang. H{\"o}ren wir damit auf, schadet es uns. „Es ist keine Schande, nichts zu wissen, wohl aber, nichts lernen zu wollen", meinte vor {\"u}ber 2.400 Jahren schon der griechische Philosoph Platon. Auch als Menschheit sind wir lernf{\"a}hig, gelangten dank immer mehr Wissen {\"u}ber die Welt um uns herum aus der Steinzeit ins digitale Zeitalter. Dass auch dieser Fortschritt keine Ziellinie ist, sondern wir nach wie vor einen weiten Weg vor uns haben, zeigen der menschengemachte Klimawandel - und vor allem die Unf{\"a}higkeit, als globale Gemeinschaft das, was uns die Forschung lehrt, in entsprechendes Handeln zu {\"u}bersetzen. Bleibt zu hoffen, dass wir das auch noch begreifen. Was wir in der intensiven Diskussion {\"u}ber die vielschichtigen Ebenen des Lernens gern {\"u}bersehen: Wir sind keineswegs die einzig Lernenden. Viele, wenn nicht alle Lebewesen auf der Erde lernen, manche zielstrebiger und komplexer, kognitiver, als andere. Und seit einiger Zeit sind auch Maschinen in der Lage, mehr oder weniger selbstst{\"a}ndig zu lernen. K{\"u}nstliche Intelligenz l{\"a}sst gr{\"u}ßen. Lernen kann in seiner Bedeutung f{\"u}r den Menschen kaum {\"u}bersch{\"a}tzt werden. Das hat auch die Wissenschaft begriffen und die Lernprozesse und -bedingungen in nahezu allen Zusammenh{\"a}ngen f{\"u}r sich entdeckt, egal, ob es um unsere eigenen geht oder solche um uns herum. Einigen davon sind wir f{\"u}r die aktuelle Ausgabe der „Portal Wissen" nachgegangen. So erforscht die Neurowissenschaftlerin Milena Rabovsky, wie unser Hirn gesprochene Sprache vorhersagt - und dabei aus seinen Fehlern lernt -, w{\"a}hrend die Psycholinguistin Natalie Boll-Avetisyan eine Box entwickelt hat, mit der sich schon bei kleinen Kindern St{\"o}rungen beim Sprachenlernen entdecken lassen. Die Verhaltensbiologinnen Jana Eccard und Valeria Mazza haben das Verhalten von kleinen Nagetieren untersucht und dabei nicht nur festgestellt, dass sie sehr unterschiedliche Pers{\"o}nlichkeiten ausbilden, sondern auch beschrieben, wie sie lernen, diese an wechselnde Umweltbedingungen anzupassen. Die Bildungsforscherin Katharina Scheiter erkl{\"a}rt, wie die M{\"o}glichkeiten der Digitalisierung unser Lernen ver{\"a}ndern - und wie nicht. Der Politikwissenschaftler Fabian Schuppert und die Verwaltungsexpertin Sabine Kuhlmann wiederum analysieren die Klimapolitiken von Millionenst{\"a}dten {\"u}berall auf der Welt - und dabei vor allem die Art und Weise, wie die Bev{\"o}lkerung einbezogen wird -, damit die Metropolregion Berlin von diesen Strategien profitieren kann. Und der Computerlinguist David Schlangen geht der Frage nach, was Maschinen lernen m{\"u}ssen, damit unsere Kommunikation mit ihnen noch besser funktioniert. Da Forschung letztlich immer ein Lernprozess ist, der danach strebt, etwas zu verstehen, was bislang noch unbekannt ist, stehen dieses Mal ohnehin alle Texte irgendwie unter dem „Stern" des Titelthemas: Es geht darum, wie wir Millionen Jahre alte Korallen als Klimaarchive lesen k{\"o}nnen, was die Geschichte der vergangenen Jahrhunderte uns {\"u}ber „Milit{\"a}rische Gewaltkulturen" verr{\"a}t und die Frage, welche Lehren wir aus Naturgefahren f{\"u}r die Zukunft ziehen sollten. Wir haben mit einer Juristin gesprochen, die {\"u}ber den Tellerrand der Universit{\"a}t blickt und Recht f{\"u}r jedermann verst{\"a}ndlich machen will, und mit einem Philosophen, der untersucht, warum „eine Meinung haben" heute etwas anderes bedeutet als vor 100 Jahren. Wir berichten von „smarter DNA" und der KIgest{\"u}tzten Genomanalyse, die beide die Gesundheitsversorgung nachhaltig ver{\"a}ndern k{\"o}nnen. Außerdem geht es um das Berufsbild „YouTuber*in", ein Start-up, das eine App entwickelt hat, dank der Paare spielerisch ihre Liebe vertiefen k{\"o}nnen, und die Frage, wie sich unser mentales Lexikon erforschen l{\"a}sst. Wir sprechen {\"u}ber minor cosmopolitanisms, Wildtiermanagement in Afrika und Wasserstoff als Energiequelle der Zukunft. Wenn Sie hier fertig sind, haben Sie was gelernt. Versprochen! Viel Vergn{\"u}gen!},

  abstract  = {Changing through learning is one of the most important characteristics we humans have. We are born and can - it seems - do nothing. We have to comprehend, copy, and acquire everything: grasping and walking, eating and speaking. Of course, we also have to read and do number work. In the meantime, we know: We will never be able to finish this. At best, we learn for a lifetime. If we stop, it harms us. The Greek philosopher Plato said more than 2,400 years ago, "There is no shame in not knowing something. The shame is in not being willing to learn." As humans we are also capable of learning; thanks to more and more knowledge about the world around us, we have moved from the Stone Age into the digital age. That this development is not a finish line either, but that we still have a long way to go, is shown by man-made climate change - and above all by our inability as a global community to translate what research teaches us into appropriate actions. Let us dare to hope that we also comprehend this. What we tend to ignore in the intensive discussion about the multi-layered levels of learning: We are by no means the only learners. Many, if not all, living beings on our planet learn, some more in a more purposeful and complex and more cognitive way than others. And for some time now, machines have also been able to learn more or less independently. Artificial intelligence sends its regards. The significance of learning for human beings can hardly be overestimated. Science has also understood this and has discovered the learning processes and conditions in almost all contexts for itself, no matter whether it is about our own learning processes and conditions or those around us. We have investigated some of these for the current issue of "Portal Wissen". Psycholinguist Natalie Boll-Avetisyan has developed a box that can be used to detect language learning disorders already in young children. The behavioral biologists Jana Eccard and Valeria Mazza investigated the behavior of small rodents and found out that they do not only develop different personality traits but they also described how they learn to adapt them different environmental conditions. Computer linguist David Schlangen examines the question what machines have to learn so that our communication with them works even better. Since research is ultimately always a learning process that strives to understand something yet unknown, this time all texts are somehow along the motto of the title theme: It is about what the history of past centuries reveals about "military cultures of violence" and the question of what lessons we should learn from natural hazards for the future. We talked with a legal scholar who looks beyond the university's backyard and wants to make law comprehensible to everyone. We also talked with a philosopher who analyzes why "having an opinion" means something different today than 100 years ago. We report about an AI-based genome analysis that can change healthcare sustainably. Furthermore, it is about the job profile "YouTuber", minor cosmopolitanisms, and wildlife management in Africa. When you have finished reading, you will have learnt something. Promised! Enjoy your read!},

  abstract  = {On October 20, 1911, the Norwegian Roald Amundsen left the safe base camp "Framheim" at the Bay of Whales together with four other explorers and 52 sledge dogs to be the first person to reach the South Pole. Ahead of them lay the perpetual ice at temperatures of 20 to 30 degrees Celsius below zero and a distance of 1,400 kilometers. After eight weeks, the group reached its destination on December 13. The men planted the Norwegian flag in the lonely snow and shortly afterwards set off to make their way back - celebrated, honored as conquerors of the South Pole and laden with information and knowledge from the world of Antarctica. The voyage of Amundsen and his companions is undoubtedly so extraordinary because the five proved that it was possible and were the first to succeed. It is, however, also a symbol of what enables humans to push the boundaries of their world: the urge to set out into the unknown, to discover what has not yet been found, explored, and described. What distinguishes science - even before each discovery and new knowledge - is the element of departure. Questioning apparent certainties, taking a critical look at outdated knowledge, and breaking down encrusted thought patterns is the starting point of exploratory curiosity. And to set out from there for new knowledge is the essence of scientific activities - neither protected nor supported by the reliable and known. Probing, trying, courageously questioning, and sensing that the solid ground, which still lies hidden, can only be reached again in this way. "Research is always a departure for new shoreless waters," said chemist Prof. Dr. Hans-J{\"u}rgen Quadbeck-Seeger. Leaving behind the safe harbor, trusting that new shores are waiting and can be reached is the impetus that makes science so important and valuable. For the current issue of the University of Potsdam's research magazine, we looked over the shoulders of some researchers as they set out on new research journeys - whether in the lab, in the library, in space, or in the mind. Astrophysicist Lidia Oskinova, for example, uses the Hubble telescope to search for particularly massive stars, while hydrologist Thorsten Wagener is trying to better understand the paths of water on Earth. Economists and social scientists such as Elmar Kriegler and Maik Heinemann are researching in different projects what politics can do to achieve a turnaround in climate policy and stop climate change. Time and again, however, such departures are themselves the focus of research: And a group of biologists and environmental scientists is investigating how nature revives forest fire areas and how the newly emerging forests can become more resilient to future fires. Since - as has already been said - a departure is inherent in every research question, this time the entire issue of "Portal Wissen" is actually devoted to the cover topic. And so we invite you to set out with Romance linguist Annette Gerstenberg to research language in old age, with immunologist Katja Hanack to develop a quick and safe SARS-CoV-2 test, and with the team of the Potsdam Center for Industry 4.0 to the virtual factory of tomorrow. And we will show you how evidence- based economic research can inform and advise politicians, and how a warning system is intended to prevent future accidents involving cyclists. So, what are you waiting for?!},

  abstract  = {Am 20. Oktober 1911 verließ der Norweger Roald Amundsen gemeinsam mit vier Begleitern und 52 Schlittenhunden das sichere Lager „Framheim" in der „Bucht der Wale", um als erster Mensch den S{\"u}dpol zu erreichen. Vor ihnen lagen das ewige Eis bei -20 bis -30 Grad Celsius und eine Strecke von 1.400 Kilometern. Nach acht Wochen erreichte die Gruppe am 13. Dezember ihr Ziel. Die M{\"a}nner pflanzten die norwegische Fahne in den einsamen Schnee und machten sich wenig sp{\"a}ter auf den R{\"u}ckweg - ruhmreich, geehrt als Eroberer des S{\"u}dpols und beladen mit Informationen und Wissen aus der Welt der Antarktis. Die Reise von Amundsen und seinen Begleitern ist fraglos so außergew{\"o}hnlich, weil durch sie bewiesen wurde, dass sie m{\"o}glich ist, und weil die f{\"u}nf die ersten waren, denen sie gelang. Sie ist aber auch Sinnbild f{\"u}r das, was dem Menschen erlaubt, die Grenzen seiner Welt immer weiter zu verschieben: der Drang, ins Unbekannte aufzubrechen, zu entdecken, was noch nicht gefunden, erforscht und beschrieben ist. Was Wissenschaft - noch vor jeder Entdeckung und allem neuen Wissen - auszeichnet, ist der Aufbruch. Scheinbare Gewissheiten infrage zu stellen, angestaubtes Wissen kritisch zu betrachten und verkrustete Denkstrukturen aufzubrechen, ist der Anfangspunkt forschender Neugier. Und von dort aufzubrechen zu neuer Erkenntnis, das Wesen wissenschaftlichen Tuns. Ungesch{\"u}tzt und -gest{\"u}tzt vom Verl{\"a}sslichen, Bekannten. Tastend, versuchend, mutig fragend, ahnend, dass nur so wieder fester Boden zu erreichen ist, der heute noch verborgen liegt. „Forschung ist immer Aufbruch zu neuen Uferlosigkeiten", sagte der Chemiker Prof. Dr. Hans- J{\"u}rgen Quadbeck-Seeger. Den sicheren Hafen hinter sich lassen, darauf vertrauend, dass neue Ufer warten und erreichbar sind - das ist der Antrieb, der Wissenschaft so wichtig und wertvoll macht. In der aktuellen Ausgabe des Forschungsmagazins der Universit{\"a}t Potsdam haben wir einigen Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftlern {\"u}ber die Schulter geschaut, wenn sie zu neuen Forschungsreisen aufbrechen - ob im Labor, in der Bibliothek, im All oder im Geist. So sucht die Astrophysikerin Lidia Oskinova mithilfe des Hubble-Teleskops nach besonders massereichen Sternen, w{\"a}hrend der Hydrologe Thorsten Wagener versucht, die Wege des Wassers auf der Erde besser zu verstehen. Wirtschafts- und Sozialwissenschaftler wie Elmar Kriegler und Maik Heinemann erforschen in verschiedensten Projekten, was die Politik tun kann, um die Klimawende zu schaffen und den Klimawandel zu stoppen. Und Verwaltungswissenschaftlerinnen wie Sabine Kuhlmann schauen, wie das „Stadtmachen" von morgen funktioniert - und bringen sich sogar pers{\"o}nlich ein. Immer wieder stehen aber auch Aufbr{\"u}che selbst im Fokus der Forschung: Ein Team um die Historiker Dominik Geppert und Frank B{\"o}sch geht etwa der Frage nach, ob und wie nach dem Umbruch 1989/90 in der ostdeutschen Wissenschaftslandschaft ein Neuanfang erfolgte - und zwar am Beispiel der Universit{\"a}t Potsdam selbst. Die Amerikanistin Verena Adamik analysiert anhand von Romanen, welchen Einfluss Literatur darauf hat, ob Menschen zu neuen Lebensformen aufbrechen und utopische Kommunen gr{\"u}nden. Und eine Gruppe von Biologen und Umweltwissenschaftlern untersucht, wie die Natur Waldbrandfl{\"a}chen wiederbelebt - und auf welche Weise die neu entstehenden W{\"a}lder gegen k{\"u}nftige Feuer gewappnet werden k{\"o}nnen. Da - wie gesagt - jeder Forschungsfrage ein Aufbruch innewohnt, steht diesmal eigentlich die ganze Ausgabe unter dem Titelthema. Und so laden wir Sie ein aufzubrechen: mit der Romanistin Annette Gerstenberg zur Erforschung der Sprache im Alter, mit der Immunologin Katja Hanack zur Entwicklung eines schnellen und sicheren SARS-CoV-2-Tests oder mit dem Team des Zentrums Industrie 4.0 Potsdam in die virtuelle Fabrik von morgen. Wir zeigen Ihnen, wie volkswirtschaftliche Forschung auf der Grundlage von Fakten informieren und Politik beraten kann, wie ein Warnsystem k{\"u}nftig Unf{\"a}lle mit Radfahrern verhindern soll und was eine 300 Jahre alte Landesbeschreibung Brandenburgs uns heute noch zu sagen hat. Worauf warten Sie noch?!},
