Fluorescent polymers for sensing and imaging

CC BY

Nowadays, all scientists recognize that fluorescent probes play important roles in wide research areas, from chemistry to biology. By combining this fact with specific functional benefits from synthetic polymers, fluorescent polymeric probes are occasionally superior to small organic and inorganic fluorescent (or luminescent) probes in terms of sensitivity, robustness, and multiple functionality. The targets of fluorescent polymeric probes have extended from chemical species to physical parameter. This special issue is a platform for researches to develop a novel fluorescent polymeric probe and to establish a new analytical method using a conventional fluorescent polymeric probe. Related researches, e.g., fluorometric investigation of functional polymers, are also included.

Mapping Society

CC BY-NC-ND

From a rare map of yellow fever in eighteenth-century New York, to Charles Booth’s famous maps of poverty in nineteenth-century London, an Italian racial zoning map of early twentieth-century Asmara, to a map of wealth disparities in the banlieues of twenty-first-century Paris, Mapping Society traces the evolution of social cartography over the past two centuries. In this richly illustrated book, Laura Vaughan examines maps of ethnic or religious difference, poverty, and health inequalities, demonstrating how they not only serve as historical records of social enquiry, but also constitute inscriptions of social patterns that have been etched deeply on the surface of cities.

The book covers themes such as the use of visual rhetoric to change public opinion, the evolution of sociology as an academic practice, changing attitudes to physical disorder, and the complexity of segregation as an urban phenomenon. While the focus is on historical maps, the narrative carries the discussion of the spatial dimensions of social cartography forward to the present day, showing how disciplines such as public health, crime science, and urban planning, chart spatial data in their current practice. Containing examples of space syntax analysis alongside full colour maps and photographs, this volume will appeal to all those interested in the long-term forces that shape how people live in cities.

Cancer Metabolomics 2018

CC BY-NC-ND

The metabolomics approach, defined as the study of all endogenously-produced low-molecular-weight compounds, appeared as a promising strategy to define new cancer biomarkers. Information obtained from metabolomic data can help to highlight disrupted cellular pathways and, consequently, contribute to the development of new-targeted therapies and the optimization of therapeutics. Therefore, metabolomic research may be more clinically translatable than other omics approaches, since metabolites are closely related to the phenotype and the metabolome is sensitive to many factors. Metabolomics seems promising to identify key metabolic pathways characterizing features of pathological and physiological states. Thus, knowing that tumor metabolism markedly differs from the metabolism of normal cells, the use of metabolomics is ideally suited for biomarker research. Some works have already focused on the application of metabolomic approaches to different cancers, namely lung, breast and liver, using urine, exhaled breath and blood. In this Special Issue we contribute to a more complete understanding of cancer disease using metabolomics approaches.

Footprints in Paradise

CC BY-NC-ND

In Okinawa, the southernmost prefecture of Japan, “ecotourism” promises to provide employment for a dwindling population of rural youth while preserving the natural environment and bolstering regional pride. Footprints in Paradise centers on how Okinawans’ sense of place is transforming rapidly, along with language, landscapes, cultural traditions, and wildlife: from marginalized and exoticized island phenomena into global heritage resources worth cherishing by insiders and outsiders. Footprints in Paradise is intended for readers interested in the anthropology of US-Japan-Okinawa relations, tourism and island environments, the politics of ecological sustainability, and the shifting ethics of human-animal relationships in the early twenty-first century.

Biografie – Lebenslauf – Generation

CC BY-SA

People interpret their biographies in order to give them a subjective meaning. In institutionalized biographies, biographies also become normatively charged patterns of progress. They reflect the tension between life courses and culturally and socially shaped generalized patterns of life-style. The volume collects selected peer-reviewed contributions on this topic.

Universities in Transition

CC BY-NC-ND

Universities are social universes in their own right. They are the site of multiple, complex and diverse social relations, identities, communities, knowledges and practices. At the heart of this book are people enrolling at university for the first time and entering into the broad variety of social relations and contexts entailed in their ‘coming to know’ at, of and through university.By recasting ‘the transition to university’ as simultaneously and necessarily entailing a transition of university — indeed universities — and of their many and varied constitutive relations, structures and practices, the contributors to this book seek to reconceptualise the ‘first-year experience’ in terms of multiple and dynamic processes of dialogue and exchange amongst all participants. They interrogate taken-for-granted understandings of what ‘the university’ is, and consider what universities might yet become.

Guido Adlers Erbe

CC BY-NC-ND

Die Bibliothek und das Schrifttum Guido Adlers (1855–1941), des prominentesten Vertreters der Musikwissenschaft der Universität Wien, wurde von den Nationalsozialisten unter reger Beteiligung von Mitarbeitern der Universität Wien geraubt und später nur zum Teil zurückgegeben. Im Rahmen der NS-Provenienzforschung an der Universitätsbibliothek Wien konnten Restbestände der Bibliothek Guido Adlers festgestellt werden. Auch ein Nachlassfragment wurde als bedenklich identifiziert und mit den Buchbeständen 2012/13 restituiert.

Antimicrobial Peptides and Complement – Maximising the Inflammatory Response

CC BY

Antimicrobial peptides and complement are distinct components of the innate immune defence. While antimicrobial peptides, after cleavage of a preproprotein, have the ability to insert directly in non host membranes, complement requires a sequential enzymatic activation in the fluid phase in order to produce a transmembrane membrane attack complex. Its insertion is controlled by membrane bound regulators. Deficiencies are described for both effectors and relate to increased susceptibility of infection. In addition, however, antimicrobial peptides and complement each influence the activity of inflammatory cells as recent data in the respective research areas shows. This series of articles draws together for the entities of antimicrobial peptides and complement a balance of contributions in the areas of evolution, roles, functions and preclinical applications. By comparing and contrasting antimicrobial peptides and complement, greater cross-disciplinary appreciation will be derived for their individual and overlapping spectra of activity, circumstances of activation and their general ability to more completely inform the inflammatory and cellular response.

Opferschutz und Erziehungsgedanke im Jugendstrafverfahren

CC BY-ND

The dissertation investigates in which way the juvenile penal law allows for victim rights. This ques-tion is treated dogmatically and discussed in the lights of an empirical survey made specifically for this dissertation.Der Gesetzgeber hat die Stellung des Verletzten im Strafverfahren in den letzten Jahrzehnten erheblich verändert. Die dem Verletzten nach und nach eingeräumten Informations-, Mitwirkungs- und Schutzrechte „stören“ das klassische Gegenüber von strafverfolgendem Staat und Angeklagten. In wichtigen Bereichen des Strafverfahrens muss daher eine neue Balance hergestellt werden. Das ist besonders prekär im vom Erziehungsgedanken beherrschten Jugendstrafverfahren. Die Arbeit untersucht, inwiefern die Besonderheiten des Jugendstrafverfahrens eine Berücksichtigung von Opferrechten zulassen. Im ersten Teil der Arbeit werden die dogmatischen Grundlagen einer Einbeziehung des Verletzten in das Jugendstrafverfahren dargestellt und die einzelnen Verletztenrechte ausführlich erörtert. Über die bloß theoretische Diskussion hinaus, wird im zweiten Teil der Arbeit der Konflikt zwischen den Verfahrensrechten des Verletzten und der erzieherischen Ausrichtung des Jugendstrafverfahrens empirisch beleuchtet. Zu diesem Zweck wurden Jugendrichter, Jugendstaatsanwälte und Strafverteidiger zu ihren Einstellungen, ihren Einschätzungen und ihrer praktischen Handhabung befragt.

The Old Nubian Language

CC BY-NC-SA

Eugenia Smagina (Евгeния Б. Смaгина) first published her grammar of the Old Nubian language in 1986 in Russian. For more than thirty years the work has remained untranslated, even though the late Gerald M. Browne affirmed that “this lucid, well-argued presentation should be available to all Nubiologists and ought therefore be translated into a western language.”Slavicist José Andrés Alonso de la Fuente has prepared a first English translation of this concise but indispensable work, which forms a necessary counterpart to Browne’s classic Old Nubian Grammar. The grammar is divided into sections on script, lexicon, morphology, and syntax, and is followed by the analysis of a sample text, known as The Miracle of St. Mēnas.Smagina’s The Old Nubian Language provides an excellent first introduction into the grammar of this medieval Nilo-Saharan language.
