Die Politikwissenschaftlerin Franziska Kr{\"a}mer untersucht in ihrer Arbeit „Die Politik Deutschlands in der Kosovofrage" das Spannungsverh{\"a}ltnis zwischen eigenst{\"a}ndiger deutscher und europ{\"a}ischer Außenpolitik. Am Beispiel des Kosovo wird die Problematik der Verflechtung von deutschen und europ{\"a}ischen Politikebenen diskutiert. Die Autorin kommt zu dem Ergebnis, dass die deutsche Kosovopolitik als Beispiel einer neuen deutschen Außenpolitik und nicht als der Beginn einer Europ{\"a}isierung deutscher Außenpolitik zu sehen ist.}, language = {de} } @article{MortensenKullingSchwartzetal.2009, author = {Mortensen, Alicja and Kulling, Sabine E. and Schwartz, Heidi and Rowland, Ian and Ruefer, Corinna E. and Rimbach, Gerald and Cassidy, Aedin and Magee, Pamela and Millar, Julie and Hall, Wendy L. and Kramer Birkved, Franziska and Sorensen, Ilona K. and Sontag, Gerhard}, title = {Analytical and compositional aspects of isoflavones in food and their biological effects}, issn = {1613-4125}, doi = {10.1002/mnfr.200800478}, year = {2009}, abstract = {This paper provides an overview of analytical techniques used to determine isoflavones (IFs) in foods and biological fluids with main emphasis on sample preparation methods. Factors influencing the content of IFs in food including processing and natural variability are summarized and an insight into IF databases is given. Comparisons of dietary intake of IFs in Asian and Western populations, in special subgroups like vegetarians, vegans, and infants are made and our knowledge on their absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion by the human body is presented. The influences of the gut microflora, age, gender, background diet, food matrix, and the chemical nature of the IFs on the metabolism of IFs are described. Potential mechanisms by which IFs may exert their actions are reviewed, and genetic polymorphism as determinants of biological response to soy IFs is discussed. The effects of IFs on a range of health outcomes including atherosclerosis, breast, intestinal, and prostate cancers, menopausal symptoms, bone health, and cognition are reviewed on the basis of the available in vitro, in vivo animal and human data.}, language = {en} } @article{WartenburgerHeekerenPreusseetal.2009, author = {Wartenburger, Isabell and Heekeren, Hauke R. and Preusse, Franziska and Kramer, J{\"u}rg and van der Meer, Elke}, title = {Cerebral correlates of analogical processing and their modulation by training}, issn = {1053-8119}, doi = {10.1016/j.neuroimage.2009.06.025}, year = {2009}, abstract = {There is increasing interest ill understanding the neural systems that mediate analogical thinking, which is essential for learning and fluid intelligence. The aim of the present study was to shed light on the cerebral correlates of geometric analogical processing and on training-induced changes at the behavioral and brain level. In healthy participants a bilateral fronto-parietal network was engaged in processing geometric analogies and showed greater blood oxygenation dependent (BOLD) signals as resource demands increased. This network, as well as fusiform and subcortical brain regions, additionally showed training-induced decreases in the BOLD signal over time. The general finding that brain regions were modulated by the amount of resources demanded by the task, and/or by the reduction of allocated resources due to short term training, reflects increased efficiency - in terms of more focal and more specialized brain activation - to more economically process the geometric analogies. Our data indicate a rapid adaptation of the cognitive system which is efficiently modulated by short term training based on a positive correlation of resource demands and brain activation.}, language = {en} }
