GrassPlot is a collaborative vegetation-plot database organised by the Eurasian Dry Grassland Group (EDGG) and listed in the Global Index of Vegetation-Plot Databases (GIVD ID EU-00-003). GrassPlot collects plot records (releves) from grasslands and other open habitats of the Palaearctic biogeographic realm. It focuses on precisely delimited plots of eight standard grain sizes (0.0001; 0.001;... 1,000 m(2)) and on nested-plot series with at least four different grain sizes. The usage of GrassPlot is regulated through Bylaws that intend to balance the interests of data contributors and data users. The current version (v. 1.00) contains data for approximately 170,000 plots of different sizes and 2,800 nested-plot series. The key components are richness data and metadata. However, most included datasets also encompass compositional data. About 14,000 plots have near-complete records of terricolous bryophytes and lichens in addition to vascular plants. At present, GrassPlot contains data from 36 countries throughout the Palaearctic, spread across elevational gradients and major grassland types. GrassPlot with its multi-scale and multi-taxon focus complements the larger international vegetationplot databases, such as the European Vegetation Archive (EVA) and the global database " sPlot". Its main aim is to facilitate studies on the scale-and taxon-dependency of biodiversity patterns and drivers along macroecological gradients. GrassPlot is a dynamic database and will expand through new data collection coordinated by the elected Governing Board. We invite researchers with suitable data to join GrassPlot. Researchers with project ideas addressable with GrassPlot data are welcome to submit proposals to the Governing Board.
The model-driven software development paradigm requires that appropriate model transformations are applicable in different stages of the development process. The transformations have to consistently propagate changes between the different involved models and thus ensure a proper model synchronization. However, most approaches today do not fully support the requirements for model synchronization and focus only on classical one-way batch-oriented transformations. In this paper, we present our approach for an incremental model transformation which supports model synchronization. Our approach employs the visual, formal, and bidirectional transformation technique of triple graph grammars. Using this declarative specification formalism, we focus on the efficient execution of the transformation rules and how to achieve an incremental model transformation for synchronization purposes. We present an evaluation of our approach and demonstrate that due to the speedup for the incremental processing in the average case even larger models can be tackled.
Background Uptake of self-testing and self-management of oral coagulation has remained inconsistent, despite good evidence of their effectiveness. To clarify the value of self-monitoring of oral anticoagulation, we did a meta-analysis of individual patient data addressing several important gaps in the evidence, including an estimate of the effect on time to death, first major haemorrhage, and thromboembolism.
Methods We searched Ovid versions of Embase (1980-2009) and Medline (1966-2009), limiting searches to randomised trials with a maximally sensitive strategy. We approached all authors of included trials and requested individual patient data: primary outcomes were time to death, first major haemorrhage, and first thromboembolic event. We did prespecified subgroup analyses according to age, type of control-group care (anticoagulation-clinic care vs primary care), self-testing alone versus self-management, and sex. We analysed patients with mechanical heart valves or atrial fibrillation separately. We used a random-effect model method to calculate pooled hazard ratios and did tests for interaction and heterogeneity, and calculated a time-specific number needed to treat.
Findings Of 1357 abstracts, we included 11 trials with data for 6417 participants and 12 800 person-years of follow-up. We reported a significant reduction in thromboembolic events in the self-monitoring group (hazard ratio 0.51; 95% CI 0.31-0.85) but not for major haemorrhagic events (0.88, 0.74-1.06) or death (0.82, 0.62-1.09). Participants younger than 55 years showed a striking reduction in thrombotic events (hazard ratio 0.33, 95% CI 0.17-0.66), as did participants with mechanical heart valve (0.52, 0.35-0.77). Analysis of major outcomes in the very elderly (age >= 85 years, n=99) showed no significant adverse effects of the intervention for all outcomes.
Interpretation Our analysis showed that self-monitoring and self-management of oral coagulation is a safe option for suitable patients of all ages. Patients should also be offered the option to self-manage their disease with suitable health-care support as back-up.
The GABI Primary Database, GabiPD (http:// www.gabipd.org/), was established in the frame of the German initiative for Genome Analysis of the Plant Biological System (GABI). The goal of GabiPD is to collect, integrate, analyze and visualize primary information from GABI projects. GabiPD constitutes a repository and analysis platform for a wide array of heterogeneous data from high-throughput experiments in several plant species. Data from different ‘omics’ fronts are incorporated (i.e. genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics), originating from 14 different model or crop species. We have developed the concept of GreenCards for textbased retrieval of all data types in GabiPD (e.g. clones, genes, mutant lines). All data types point to a central Gene GreenCard, where gene information is integrated from genome projects or NCBI UniGene sets. The centralized Gene GreenCard allows visualizing ESTs aligned to annotated transcripts as well as displaying identified protein domains and gene structure. Moreover, GabiPD makes available interactive genetic maps from potato and barley, and protein 2DE gels from Arabidopsis thaliana and Brassica napus. Gene expression and metabolic-profiling data can be visualized through MapManWeb. By the integration of complex data in a framework of existing knowledge, GabiPD provides new insights and allows for new interpretations of the data.
Unter Rekurs auf zwei historische Erscheinungsformen des Ghettos – auf jüdische Wohnviertel der Frühen Neuzeit und nationalsozialistische Ghettos – wurde der Begriff ‚Ghetto’ zum Symbol von Joch und Verfolgung stilisiert. Diese Sprachpraxis etablierte eine einseitige Forschungsperspektive, die sich ihrem Gegenstand aus dem Täter-Opfer-Paradigma heraus näherte. In der jüngsten Zeit unternahm man jedoch Versuche, diese Perspektive zu brechen, indem man das Ghetto-Phänomen anhand solcher Untersuchungskategorien wie ‚Lebenswelt’, ‚Erfahrung’ und ‚Konstruktion von Raum’ sowie ‚Ambivalenz von Raum und Grenze’ befragte. Das stetig wachsende Interesse an begrifflicher Reflexion über den Sprachkörper ‚Ghetto’ und an den von ihm bezeichneten historischen Phänomenen samt ihren Widerspiegelungen in der Literatur und bildenden Künsten ist ein starkes Indiz für einen Wandel der Sehgewohnheiten innerhalb der Forschung. In Folge der vorgenommenen Differenzierungen entwickeln sich neue Fragestellungen und Ansätze, die die Reduktion der Wissenschaft von der jüdischen Geschichte und Kultur auf die Kategorien von ‚Unterdrückung’ und ‚Verfolgung’ zu überwinden erlauben. Mit dem vorliegenden Heft möchten wir einen Beitrag zu diesem Fachgespräch leisten. Die hier abgedruckten Beiträge lassen sich in zwei Kategorien unterteilen. Zum einen sind es explizite Befragungen des Ghetto-Begriffs im Dienste wissenschaftsgeschichtlicher Reflexionen oder neuer Verfahren zur Erforschung historischer Erscheinungsformen des Ghettos. Hierzu gehören die Artikel von Kristiane Gerhardt, Svenja Bethke und Hanna Schmidt Holländer sowie Birgitt Wagner. In ihren historiographiegeschichtlich bzw. methodologisch orientierten Erörterungen zeigen die Autorinnen die normative Dimension und die daraus resultierende semantische Wandelbarkeit des Ghetto-Begriffs samt ihren Konsequenzen für die Forschungspraxis. In die zweite Kategorie lassen sich wiederum phänomenologisch interessierte Untersuchungen einreihen, die entweder geschichtliche Fallstudien oder Betrachtungen literarischer Repräsentationen des Themas sind. Hierzu gehören die Beiträge von Luca Baraldi, Stratos N. Dordanas und Vaios Kalogrias, Tanja Kinzel, Francisca Solomon und Elvira Grözinger.

This article enriches the existing literature on the importance and role of the social sciences and humanities (SSH) in renewable energy sources research by providing a novel approach to instigating the future research agenda in this field. Employing a series of in-depth interviews, deliberative focus group workshops and a systematic horizon scanning process, which utilised the expert knowledge of 85 researchers from the field with diverse disciplinary backgrounds and expertise, the paper develops a set of 100 priority questions for future research within SSH scholarship on renewable energy sources. These questions were aggregated into four main directions: (i) deep transformations and connections to the broader economic system (i.e. radical ways of (re)arranging socio-technical, political and economic relations), (ii) cultural and geographical diversity (i.e. contextual cultural, historical, political and socio-economic factors influencing citizen support for energy transitions), (iii) complexifying energy governance (i.e. understanding energy systems from a systems dynamics perspective) and (iv) shifting from instrumental acceptance to value-based objectives (i.e. public support for energy transitions as a normative notion linked to trust-building and citizen engagement). While this agenda is not intended to be—and cannot be—exhaustive or exclusive, we argue that it advances the understanding of SSH research on renewable energy sources and may have important value in the prioritisation of SSH themes needed to enrich dialogues between policymakers, funding institutions and researchers. SSH scholarship should not be treated as instrumental to other research on renewable energy but as intrinsic and of the same hierarchical importance.
"Forschung meets Business" - diese Kombination hat in den vergangenen Jahren immer wieder zu zahlreichen interessanten und fruchtbaren Diskussionen geführt. Mit dem Symposium "Sicherheit in Service-orientierten Architekturen" führt das Hasso-Plattner-Institut diese Tradition fort und lud alle Interessenten zu einem zweitägigen Symposium nach Potsdam ein, um gemeinsam mit Fachvertretern aus der Forschung und Industrie über die aktuellen Entwicklungen im Bereich Sicherheit von SOA zu diskutieren. Die im Rahmen dieses Symposiums vorgestellten Beiträge fokussieren sich auf die Sicherheitsthemen "Sichere Digitale Identitäten und Identitätsmanagement", "Trust Management", "Modell-getriebene SOA-Sicherheit", "Datenschutz und Privatsphäre", "Sichere Enterprise SOA", und "Sichere IT-Infrastrukturen".
Die zweiteilige Publikation „Musikarbeit im Kontext von Inklusion und Integration“ der Potsdamer Schriftenreihe zur Musikpädagogik beinhaltet Erträge aus Veranstaltungen und Qualifikationsarbeiten mehrerer Jahre, die am Lehrstuhl für Musikpädagogik und Musikdidaktik der Universität Potsdam entstanden sind. Beide Bände enthalten neben theoretischen Beiträgen auch Beiträge aus Praxis und Ausbildung in verschiedenen Berufsfeldern, die das besondere Potenzial musikalischer Betätigung für Inklusion und Integration anhand von best-practise-Beispielen darstellen und sind somit als umfassendes Studienmaterial konzipiert.
Der zweite Band erweitert den im ersten Teil auf die Potenziale von Musik für Inklusion gesetzten Schwerpunkt um die Darstellung integrativer und inklusiver Potenziale einzelner ausgewählter musikalischer Aktivitäten und Umgangsweisen mit Musik. Stand im ersten Band die Dokumentation der 2013 am Lehrstuhl für Musikpädagogik und Musikdidaktik durchgeführten internationalen Fachtagung „Musikarbeit im Kontext von Inklusion und Integration“ im Fokus, schließt der zweite Teil mit der Dokumentation eines interdisziplinär und mehrperspektivisch angelegten Projektseminars an, das im Wintersemester 2016/2017 unter der Leitung von Prof. Dr. Birgit Jank durchgeführt wurde. Dieses Seminar setzte neue Impulse für die Entstehung weiterer musikpädagogischer Forschungsarbeiten, aus denen konkrete Handlungsempfehlungen für die Musikarbeit in integrativen und inklusiven Unterrichtssettings abgeleitet werden können.
Background: Epidemiological studies suggest that an increased red meat intake is associated with a higher risk of type 2 diabetes, whereas an increased fiber intake is associated with a lower risk. Objectives: We conducted an intervention study to investigate the effects of these nutritional factors on glucose and lipid metabolism, body-fat distribution, and liver fat content in subjects at increased risk of type 2 diabetes. Methods: This prospective, randomized, and controlled dietary intervention study was performed over 6 mo. All groups decreased their daily caloric intake by 400 kcal. The "control" group (N = 40) only had this requirement. The "no red meat" group (N = 48) in addition aimed to avoid the intake of red meat, and the "fiber" group (N = 44) increased intake of fibers to 40 g/d. Anthropometric parameters and frequently sampled oral glucose tolerance tests were performed before and after intervention. Body-fat mass and distribution, liver fat, and liver iron content were assessed by MRI and single voxel proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Results: Participants in all groups lost weight (mean 3.3 +/- 0.5 kg, P < 0.0001). Glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity improved (P < 0.001), and body and visceral fat mass decreased in all groups (P < 0.001). These changes did not differ between groups. Liver fat content decreased significantly (P < 0.001) with no differences between the groups. The decrease in liver fat correlated with the decrease in ferritin during intervention (r(2) = 0.08, P = 0.0021). This association was confirmed in an independent lifestyle intervention study (Tuebingen Lifestyle Intervention Program, N = 229, P = 0.0084). Conclusions: Our data indicate that caloric restriction leads to a marked improvement in glucose metabolism and body-fat composition, including liver-fat content. The marked reduction in liver fat might be mediated via changes in ferritin levels. In the context of caloric restriction, there seems to be no additional beneficial impact of reduced red meat intake and increased fiber intake on the improvement in cardiometabolic risk parameters. This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT03231839.
