Frühe Neuzeit

Kaum ein anderes Thema als Sexualität hat sich so fruchtbringend in der Forschung zu Wort gemeldet, und dies schon seit weit mehr als hundert Jahren. Die Regale füllen sich inzwischen mit einschlägigen Studien, denn mittels Sexualität lassen sich viele Einblicke in die Mentalitäts-, Religions-, Medizin- und Emotionsgeschichte gewinnen. Ein Ende der Bemühungen, sich wissenschaftlich mit diesem Aspekt auseinanderzusetzen, ist kaum abzusehen, und Franz X. Eder, der bereits eine Fülle an einschlägigen Arbeiten dazu veröffentlicht hat, bietet nun erneut eine größere Überblicksdarstellung, die uns von der Antike bis ins 16. und 17. Jahrhundert führt und dabei primär auf einen großen Fundus an relevanter wissenschaftlicher Literatur zurückgreift, die mittlerweile sehr praktisch auf einer vom Autor selbst betriebenen Webseite (nur auf Englisch: <ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="https://www.univie.ac.at/Wirtschaftsgeschichte/Sexbibl/search.html">https://www.univie.ac.at/Wirtschaftsgeschichte/Sexbibl/search.html</ext-link>) abrufbar ist (4.

ObjectiveTo compare 2 years of radiographic sacroiliac joint (SIJ) changes in patients with recent onset axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) receiving etanercept in a clinical trial (EMBARK) to similar patients not receiving biologics in a cohort study (DESIR).MethodsEndpoints were changes at week 104 per the modified New York (mNY) grading system in total SIJ score (primary endpoint) and net percentage of patients with progression defined three ways. Treatment effect was analysed with and without adjustment for baseline covariates.ResultsAt 104 weeks, total SIJ score improved in the etanercept group (n=154, adjusted least-squares mean change: –0.14) and worsened in the control group (n=182, change: 0.08). The adjusted difference between groups (etanercept minus control) was –0.22 (95% CI –0.38 to –0.06), p=0.008. The net percentage of patients with progression was significantly lower in the etanercept versus the control group for two of three binary endpoints: –1.9% versus 1.6% (adjusted difference for etanercept minus control: –4.7%,95% CI –9.9 to 0.5, p=0.07) for change in mNY criteria; –1.9% versus 7.8% (adjusted difference: –18.2%,95% CI –30.9 to –5.6, p=0.005) for change ≥1 grade in ≥1 SIJ; and –0.6% versus 6.7% (adjusted difference: –16.4%,95% CI –27.9 to –5.0, p=0.005) for change ≥1 grade in ≥1 SIJ, with shift from 0 to 1 or 1 to 0 considered no change.ConclusionDespite the slow radiographic SIJ progression rate over 2 years in axSpA, this study suggests a lower rate of progression in the SIJ with etanercept than without anti-tumour necrosis factor therapy.Trial registration numbersNCT01258738, NCT01648907; Post-results.

Northern Peatlands

Two mesophilic, hydrogenotrophic methanogens, designated strains SWAN1T and AL-21, were isolated from two contrasting peatlands: a near circumneutral temperate minerotrophic fen in New York State, USA, and an acidic boreal poor fen site in Alaska, USA, respectively. Cells of the two strains were rod-shaped, non-motile, stained Gram-negative and resisted lysis with 0.1 % SDS. Cell size was 0.6×1.5–2.8 µm for strain SWAN1T and 0.45–0.85×1.5–35 µm for strain AL-21. The strains used H2/CO2 but not formate or other substrates for methanogenesis, grew optimally around 32–37 °C, and their growth spanned through a slightly low to neutral pH range (4.7–7.1). Strain AL-21 grew optimally closer to neutrality at pH 6.2, whereas strain SWAN1T showed a lower optimal pH at 5.4–5.7. The two strains were sensitive to NaCl with a maximal tolerance at 160 mM for strain SWAN1T and 50 mM for strain AL-21. Na2S was toxic at very low concentrations (0.01–0.8 mM), resulting in growth inhibition above these values. The DNA G+C content of the genomes was 35.7 mol% for strain SWAN1T and 35.8 mol% for strain AL-21. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the strains are members of the genus Methanobacterium . Strain SWAN1T shared 94–97 % similarity with the type strains of recognized species of the genus Methanobacterium , whereas strain AL-21 shared 99 % similarity with Methanobacterium lacus 17A1T. On the basis of phenotypic, genomic and phylogenetic characteristics, strain SWAN1T ( = DSM 25820T = JCM 18151T) is proposed as the type strain of a novel species, Methanobacterium paludis sp. nov., while strain AL-21 is proposed as a second strain of Methanobacterium lacus .

AbstractIn this chapter we present the process of designing and developing a novel online platform for supporting cultural literacy learning, involving the elaboration and understanding of European values in collaborative dialogue between students, with teacher-led reflection on wordless texts. Wordless texts are books or videos that comprise sequences of pictures which stimulate student readers to reconstruct the attendant narratives (see Chapters 10.1007/978-3-030-71778-0_5 and 10.1007/978-3-030-71778-0_6, this volume). The narratives in question, available publicly, are designed to stimulate discussions relating to European values, notably tolerance, empathy and inclusion (Lähdesmäki et al. in Intercultural dialogue in European education policies: A conceptual approach. Palgrave Macmillan, New York, 2020). The main questions for platform design were therefore how to facilitate productive discussions involving European values, on or around such wordless texts, and to structure such discussions in a way that is closely anchored in the texts.

AbstractBackgroundAs high-throughput sequencing applications continue to evolve, the rapid growth in quantity and variety of sequence-based data calls for the development of new software libraries and tools for data analysis and visualization. Often, effective use of these tools requires computational skills beyond those of many researchers. To ease this computational barrier, we have created a dynamic web-based platform, NASQAR (Nucleic Acid SeQuence Analysis Resource).ResultsNASQAR offers a collection of custom and publicly available open-source web applications that make extensive use of a variety of R packages to provide interactive data analysis and visualization. The platform is publicly accessible at http://nasqar.abudhabi.nyu.edu/. Open-source code is on GitHub at https://github.com/nasqar/NASQAR, and the system is also available as a Docker image at https://hub.docker.com/r/aymanm/nasqarall. NASQAR is a collaboration between the core bioinformatics teams of the NYU Abu Dhabi and NYU New York Centers for Genomics and Systems Biology.ConclusionsNASQAR empowers non-programming experts with a versatile and intuitive toolbox to easily and efficiently explore, analyze, and visualize their Transcriptomics data interactively. Popular tools for a variety of applications are currently available, including Transcriptome Data Preprocessing, RNA-seq Analysis (including Single-cell RNA-seq), Metagenomics, and Gene Enrichment.
