Die Arbeitslosenquote von Akademikern pendelt sich ein halbes Jahr nach dem Examen bei fünf Prozent ein. Bei Absolventen einer Lehre liegt sie dagegen doppelt so hoch. Doch auch für Akademiker ist der Einstieg ins Berufsleben kein Selbstläufer mehr. Mit nichts als eingleisigem Fachwissen als Kapital haben es auch Akademiker inzwischen schwer, denn der Arbeitsmarkt hat sich in den letzten Jahren stark verändert. Welche Veränderungen das sind und wie man am besten darauf reagiert, beleuchtet die Rubrik "wissenstransfer". Das man an der Universität Potsdarn mehr als reines Fachwissen erwerben kann, zeigen die Berichte der Alumni über ihren Berufsweg in der Rubrik "umbrüche". Von geradlinigen Entwicklungen ist da zu lesen, von enttäuschten Erwartungen und ergriffenen Chancen. Sie dokumentieren, wie Brüche im beruflichen Werdegang zwar manchen vom geplanten Weg abkommen ließen, doch auf den persönlich richtigen Pfad fuhrten. Wer sich gerade in der Phase der beruflichen Neuorientierung befindet, oder gerade erst ins Arbeitsleben startet, findet Tipps und Adressen im "wegweiser". Die Redaktion wünscht Ihnen viel Vergnügen beim Lesen von Portal alumni. Mit den besten Grüßen, Ihr Alumni-Team. N2 - Dear reader, these are good news indeed: Following a survey ofthe Hochschul-lnformations-System(HIS) in Hannover an university degree is still the best guarantee for getting a Job. The rate of unemployment among those with an university grand is about five percent. For those who finished an apprenticeship it is twice as high. But also for university graduates just knowing scientific facts is not enough for starting a career, because the Job market has changed over the last few years. What kind of changes these are and what is the best way to react is shown at the chapter "wissenstransfer". That one can not only attain exclusive specialised knowledge is shown at the chapter "umbrüche" where alumni describing their career. They talk about straight ways, disappointed expectations and taken chances. They show how they found their way despite changes in their career. Those who are lookingfor a new Job or Just started their professionallife can find addresses and tips under "wegweiser". The editorial staffhope you will enjoy reading Portal alumni.

Exposure to toxic elements is one area of such associations and global concerns. The Bengal Delta Plain (BDP) is a region where contamination of ground water by arsenic has assumed epidemic proportions. Apart from dermatological manifestations, chronic exposure to arsenic causes a heavy toll through several carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic disorders. This article provides a global overview of groundwater arsenic contamination in the BDP region, especially the sources, speciation, and mobility of arsenic, and critically reviews the effects of arsenic on human health. The present review also provides a summary of comprehensive knowledge on various measures required for mitigation and social consequences of the problem of arsenic contaminated groundwater in the BDP region.

Objectives Considering the ongoing trend of delaying childbirth in our society, this study investigates potential additive effects of nicotine consumption during pregnancy and advanced maternal age on foetal growth. Sample and Methods In a medical record-based study, we analysed the impact of maternal age and smoking behaviour before and during pregnancy on newborn size among 4142 singleton births that took place in Vienna, Austria between 1990 and 1995. Results Birth weight (H=82.176, p<0.001), birth length (H=91.525, p<0.001) and head circumference (H=42.097, p<0.001) differed significantly according to maternal smoking behaviour. For birth weight, the adjusted mean differences between smokers and non-smokers increased from 101.8g for the < 18-year-old mothers to 254.8g for >35 year olds, with the respective values for birth length being 0.6 cm to 0.7cm, for head circumference from 0.3 cm to 0.6 cm. Conclusion Increasing maternal age amplified the negative effects of smoking during pregnancy on newborn parameters. Our findings identify older smoking mothers as a high-risk group which should be of special interest for public health systems.

However, body mass index (BMI) as a measure for overweight is not an ideal predictor of % body fat (%BF) either in children and adolescents or in adults. On the contrary, it disguises a phenomenon called “hidden obesity”. Objectives We aim to approximate %BF by combining skeletal robusticity and BMI and develop an estimation-based tool to identify normal weight obese children and adolescents. Sample and Methods We analyzed cross-sectional data on height, weight, elbow breadth, and skinfold thickness (triceps and subscapular) of German children aged 6 to 18 years (N=15,034). We used modified Hattori charts and multiple linear regression to develop a tool, the “%BF estimator”, to estimate %BF by using BMI and skeletal robusticity measured as Frame Index. Results Independent of sex and age an increase in BMI is associated with an increase in %BF, an increase in Frame Index is associated with a decrease in %BF. The developed tool “%BF estimator” allows the estimation of %BF per sex and age group after calculation of BMI and Frame Index. Conclusion The “%BF estimator” is an easily applicable tool for the estimation of %BF in respect of body composition for clinical practice, screening, and public health research. It is non-invasive and has high accuracy. Further, it allows the identification of normal weight obese children and adolescents.
