The field of healthcare is characterized by constant innovation, with gender-specific medicine emerging as a new subfield that addresses sex and gender disparities in clinical manifestations, outcomes, treatment, and prevention of disease. Despite its importance, the adoption of gender-specific medicine remains understudied, posing potential risks to patient outcomes due to a lack of awareness of the topic. Building on the Innovation Decision Process Theory, this study examines the spread of information about gender-specific medicine in online networks. The study applies social network analysis to a Twitter dataset reflecting online discussions about the topic to gain insights into its adoption by health professionals and patients online. Results show that the network has a community structure with limited information exchange between sub-communities and that mainly medical experts dominate the discussion. The findings suggest that the adoption of gender-specific medicine might be in its early stages, focused on knowledge exchange. Understanding the diffusion of gender-specific medicine among medical professionals and patients may facilitate its adoption and ultimately improve health outcomes.
In dieser Arbeit wurde eine reaktive Wand in einem kleinskaligen Laborma\ss stab (Länge~=~40\,cm) entwickelt, die Eisen- und Sulfatbelastungen aus sauren Minenabwässern (engl. \textit{acid mine drainage} (AMD)) mit einer Effizienz von bis zu 30.2 bzw. 24.2\,\% über einen Zeitraum von 146~Tagen (50\,pv) abreinigen können sollte. Als reaktives Material wurde eine Mischung aus Gartenkompost, Buchenholz, Kokosnussschale und Calciumcarbonat verwendet. Die Zugabebedingungen waren eine Eisenkonzentration von 1000\,mg/L, eine Sulfatkonzentration von 3000\,mg/L und ein pH-Wert von 6.2.
Unterschiede in der Materialzusammensetzung ergaben keine grö\ss eren Änderungen in der Sanierungseffizienz von Eisen- und Sulfatbelastungen (12.0 -- 15.4\,\% bzw. 7.0 -- 10.1\,\%) über einen Untersuchungszeitraum von 108~Tagen (41 -- 57\,pv). Der wichtigste Einflussfaktor auf die Abreinigungsleistung von Sulfat- und Eisenbelastungen war die Verweilzeit der AMD-Lösung im reaktiven Material. Diese kann durch eine Verringerung des Durchflusses oder eine Erhöhung der Länge der reaktiven Wand (engl. \textit{Permeable Reactive Barrier} (PRB)) erhöht werden. Ein halbierter Durchfluss erhöhte die Sanierungseffizienzen von Eisen und Sulfat auf 23.4 bzw. 32.7\,\%. Weiterhin stieg die Sanierungseffizienz der Eisenbelastungen auf 24.2\,\% bei einer Erhöhung der Sulfatzugabekonzentration auf 6000\,mg/L. Saure Startbedingungen (pH~=~2.2) konnten, durch das Calciumcarbonat im reaktiven Material, über einen Zeitraum von 47~Tagen (24\,pv) neutralisiert werden. Durch die Neutralisierung der sauren Startbedingungen wurde Calciumcarbonat in der \gls{prb} verbraucht und Calcium-Ionen freigesetzt, die die Sulfatsanierungseffizienz erhöht haben (24.9\,\%). Aufgrund einer Vergrö\ss erung der \gls{prb} in Breite und Tiefe und einer 2D-Parameterbestimmung konnten Randläufigkeiten beobachtet werden, ohne deren Einfluss sich die Sanierungseffizienz für Eisen- und Sulfatbelastungen erhöht (30.2 bzw. 24.2\,\%). \par
Zur \textit{in-situ} Überwachung der \gls{prb} wurden optische Sensoren verwendet, um den pH-Wert, die Sauerstoffkonzentration und die Temperatur zu ermitteln. Es wurden, nach dem Ort und der Zeit aufgelöst, stabile Sauerstoffkonzentrationen und pH-Verläufe detektiert. Auch die Temperatur konnte nach dem Ort aufgelöst ermittelt werden. Damit zeigte diese Arbeit, dass optische Sensoren zur Überwachung der Stabilität einer \gls{prb} für die Reinigung von \gls{amd} verwendet werden können. \par
Mit dem Simulationsprogramm MIN3P wurde eine Simulation erstellt, die die entwickelte PRB darstellt. Die Simulation kann die erhaltenen Laborergebnisse gut wiedergeben. Anschlie\ss end wurde eine simulierte \gls{prb} bei unterschiedlichen Filtergeschwindigkeiten ((4.0 -- 23.5)~$\cdot~\mathrm{10^{-7}}$\,m/s) und Längen der PRB (25 -- 400\,cm) untersucht. Es wurden Zusammenhänge der untersuchten Parameter mit der Sanierungseffizienz von Eisen- und Sulfatbelastungen ermittelt. Diese Zusammenhänge können verwendet werden, um die benötigte Verweilzeit der AMD-Lösung in einem zukünftigen PRB-System, die für die maximal mögliche Sanierungsleistung notwendig ist, zu berechnen.
Proceedings of TripleA 10
(2024)
The TripleA workshop series was founded in 2014 by linguists from Potsdam and Tübingen with the aim of providing a platform for researchers that conduct theoretically-informed linguistic fieldwork on meaning. Its focus is particularly on languages that are under-represented in the current research landscape, including but not limited to languages of Africa, Asia, and Australia, hence TripleA.
For its 10th anniversary, TripleA returned to the University of Potsdam on the 7-9th of June 2023.
The programme included 21 talks dealing with no less than 22 different languages, including three invited talks given by Sihwei Chen (Academia Sinica), Jérémy Pasquereau (Laboratoire de Linguistique de Nantes, CNRS) and Agata Renans (Ruhr-Universität Bochum). Nine of these (invited or peer-reviewed) talks are featured in this volume.
Despite the high hopes associated with public sector digitalization, especially in times of crisis, it does not yet hold up to its potential. Both the negotiation and implementation of digitalization policy presents a challenge for all levels of government, requiring extensive coordination efforts. In general, there are conflicting views if more centralized or decentralized policy processes are more effective for coordination—a tension further exacerbated in the context of digitalization policy within multilevel systems, where the imperative of standardization collides with decentralization forces inherent in federalism.
Based on the analysis of expert interviews (n = 29), this chapter examines how digitalization policy in the context of the German federal intergovernmental relations context is located and negotiated, and how this relates to local policy implementation. Focusing on the decentralized German tax administration as a case study, the analysis reveals a shift from a conflicted to a multi-layered policy process, underpinned by a mechanism of “concentration without centralization.” Strategic and operational competencies are bundled in an institutionalized and legally regulated network for digitalization to achieve necessary standardization of digital infrastructure. Furthermore, the research emphasizes the influence of intergovernmental relations on local implementation and the associated challenges and opportunities.
Urban climate strategies have become central tools for steering climate policy in cities. Local policymakers must coordinate a wide range of actors, among them sub-municipal administrative units and neighbouring administrations, in order to ensure legitimate, socially accepted and effective policy. The study examines, from a comparative perspective, how intergovernmental relations (IGR) play out in the formulation and implementation of climate strategies in the metropolitan areas of Berlin and Paris. Embedded in different institutional contexts, both cities followed a trajectory initiated by relatively centralized strategy formulation with an ongoing shift towards more decentralized and coordinated intergovernmental approaches with their respective district administrations. In terms of horizontal IGR, Berlin took a decoupled approach with limited coordination with the state of Brandenburg, whereas Paris was much more closely integrated with its surrounding areas through the inter-municipal metropolis of Greater Paris. Institutional capacity, multilevel coordination and participation demands are identified as three challenges for the existing IGR structures. Addressing these challenges places significant strains on local administrative capacity. The findings highlight the limitations of centralized approaches to IGR at the local level and the importance of aligning the distribution of functional responsibilities with the rights of consultation and participation in climate policy formulation processes.
Migrant integration is a prime example of intergovernmental coordination and multilevel governance; first because no level of government can carry out this task alone, and second because its cross-cutting nature often leads to fragmented institutional structures that must be overcome. Within the research strand of intergovernmental relations (IGR), the focus has been on executive actors and governmental decision-makers, resulting in an underexposure of the role of public administration, known as inter-administrative relations (IAR). Against this backdrop, we aim to remedy some of the deficits in IGR research by (1) adopting an explicit IAR perspective which systematically addresses the role of local governments; (2) including a comparative dimension in IAR research that accounts for different administrative ‘starting conditions’ in European countries; and (3) using the policy area of migrant integration as a case in point to empirically investigate developments of institutional convergence and divergence in IAR patterns. It is argued that the coordination of migrant integration in the three countries examined has moved towards more intergovernmental coordination, on the one hand, and that the role of municipalities in this context has been enhanced—varying degrees of (de-)centralization notwithstanding. While certain convergent patterns of inter-governmental coordination have become apparent during the migration crisis, historical path dependencies and administrative cultures still appear to be factors that influence institutional development.
This open access book assesses the consequences of contemporary economic and political crises for intergovernmental relations in Europe. Focusing on the crises arising from the Covid-19 pandemic, climate change, surges in migration, and the resurgence of regional nationalist movements, it explores the shifting power balances within intergovernmental relations’ systems. The book takes a comparative analytical perspective on how intergovernmental relations are changing across Europe, and how central governments have responded to coordination challenges as recent crises have disrupted established service delivery chains and their underpinning political and bureaucratic arrangements. It also examines the relationship between recent crises and the sub-national resurgence of territorial politics in many European countries. The book will appeal to those with interests in public administration, sub-national governance and European politics.
Consumer behaviour changes and strategic management decisions are driving adaptations in manufacturing routines. Based on the theory of situational strength, we investigated how contextual and person-related factors influence workers’ adaptation in a two-worker position routine. Contextual factors, like retrieval cues (Study 1), time pressure (Study 2), and convenience (Study 3), were varied. Person-related factors included retentivity, general and routine-specific self-efficacy, and perceived adaptation costs. Dependent variables included various error types and production time before and after adaptation. In each study, 148 participants were trained in a production routine at t1 and executed an adapted routine at t2, one week later. Repeated measures ANOVA for performance at t1 and t2, and MANOVA for performance at t2, revealed that time increased for all groups at t2. For participants in Studies 1 & 2, error rates remained consistent. Retentivity significantly impacted errors at both t1 and t2, emphasising that routine changes in a ‘running business’ take time, regardless of contextual factors. Workers with lower retentivity may require additional support.
