Studien zeigen, dass Anhänger der PEGIDA-Bewegung die Medienberichterstattung als unangemessen wahrnehmen und ihr misstrauen. Diese Wahrnehmung und daraus resultierende kognitive, affektive und konative Konsequenzen wurden in einer standardisierten Online-Befragung untersucht (n= 800). Es zeigt sich, dass Anhänger der PEGIDA-Bewegung der Berichterstattung über PEGIDA mehr misstrauen als PEGIDA-Gegner. Diese Wahrnehmung wiederum hat politisch relevante Konsequenzen: Je stärker PEGIDA-Anhänger und neutral Eingestellte der Berichterstattung misstrauen, desto weniger Vertrauen bringen sie den Medien allgemein entgegen, desto unzufriedener sind sie mit der Demokratie in Deutschland und desto wütender sind sie auf die Berichterstattung. Die wütenden Reaktionen korrelieren mit einer Zustimmung zu radikalen Protestformen, was wiederum die Beteiligung an den Protestmärschen erhöht. Somit zeigen die Befunde, dass das Misstrauen in die Berichterstattung über PEGIDA auch über deren Anhängerkreis hinaus eng verbunden ist mit erodierendem Vertrauen in Medien und Politik sowie mit der Bereitschaft zu radikalen Protestformen.
Background: Depletion of ovarian hormone in postmenopausal women has been associated with changes in the locomotor apparatus that may compromise walking function including muscle atrophy/weakness, weight gain, and bone demineralization. Therefore, handgrip strength (HGS), bone mineral density (BMD) and body composition [percentage body fat mass (%BFM), fat mass (FM), Fat-free mass (FFM) and body mass index (BMI)], may significantly vary and predict WB in postmenopausal women. Consequently, the study sought to 1. Explore body composition, BMD and muscle strength differences between premenopausal and postmenopausal women and 2. Explore how these variables [I.e., body composition, BMD and muscle strength] relate to WB in postmenopausal women.
Method: Fifty-one pre-menopausal (35.74 + 1.52) and 50 postmenopausal (53.32 + 2.28) women were selected by convenience sampling and studied. Six explanatory variables (HGS, BMD, %BFM, FFM, BMI and FM) were explored to predict WB in postmenopausal women: Data collected were analyzed using multiple linear regression, ANCOVA, independent t-test and Pearson correlation coefficient at p < 0.05.
Result: Postmenopausal women had higher BMI(t = + 1.72; p = 0.04), %BFM(t = + 2.77; p = .003), FM(t = + 1.77; p = 0.04) and lower HGS(t = − 3.05; p = 0.001),compared to the premenopausal women. The predicted main effect of age on HGS was not significant, F(1, 197) = 0.03, p = 0.06, likewise the interaction between age and %BFM, F(1, 197) = 0.02, p = 0.89; unlike the predicted main effect of %BFM, F(1, 197) = 10.34, p = .002, on HGS. HGS was the highest predictor of WB (t = 2.203; β=0.3046) in postmenopausal women and combined with T-score right big toe (Tscorert) to produce R2 = 0.11;F (2, 47)=4.11;p = 0.02 as the best fit for the predictive model. The variance (R2) change was significant from HGS model (R2 = 0.09;p = 0.03) to HGS + Tscorert model (R2 = 0.11;p = 0.02). The regression model equation was therefore given as: WB =5.4805 + 0.1578(HGS) + (− 1.3532) Tscorert.
Conclusion: There are differences in body composition suggesting re-compartmentalization of the body, which may adversely impact the (HGS) muscle strength in postmenopausal women. Muscle strength and BMD areassociated with WB, although, only contribute to a marginal amount of the variance for WB. Therefore, other factors in addition to musculoskeletal health are necessary to mitigate fall risk in postmenopausal women.
Open Science beschreibt die Öffnung des gesamten wissenschaftlichen Forschungs- und Erkenntnisprozesses, in dem Daten, Methoden und Ergebnisse geteilt werden. Dadurch ergeben sich neue Möglichkeiten und Formen der Wissensteilung und der Zusammenarbeit sowohl innerhalb als auch außerhalb der Wissenschaft. Für die Umsetzung in die Praxis ist es notwendig, dass ein grundlegendes Verständnis und Bewusstsein für den Nutzen und die Vorteile von Open Science sowie für praktische Anwendungsmöglichkeiten verbreitet werden. Diese Masterarbeit beschäftigt sich damit, wie Open Science mit E-Learning vermittelt werden kann. Dafür werden aufbauend auf einer Analyse von Trainings- und Lernangeboten Empfehlungen in zielgruppenspezifischen Umsetzungsmodellen entwickelt, die verschiedene Lerninhalte und E-Learning Formate berücksichtigen und Ansätze zur Nachnutzung bieten.
Scientific papers from all disciplines contain many abbreviations and acronyms. In many cases these acronyms are ambiguous. We present a method to choose the contextual correct definition of an acronym that does not require training for each acronym and thus can be applied to a large number of different acronyms with only few instances. We constructed a set of 19,954 examples of 4,365 ambiguous acronyms from image captions in scientific papers along with their contextually correct definition from different domains. We learn word embeddings for all words in the corpus and compare the averaged context vector of the words in the expansion of an acronym with the weighted average vector of the words in the context of the acronym. We show that this method clearly outperforms (classical) cosine similarity. Furthermore, we show that word embeddings learned from a 1 billion word corpus of scientific exts outperform word embeddings learned from much larger general corpora.
In der vorliegenden Masterarbeit geht es um die automatische Annotation von Bildern mithilfe der Kategoriesystematik der Wikipedia. Die Annotation soll anhand der Bildbeschriftungen und ihren Textreferenzen erfolgen. Hierbei wird für vorhandene Bilder eine passende Kategorie vorgeschlagen. Es handelt sich bei den Bildern um Abbildungen aus naturwissenschaftlichen Artikeln, die in Open Access Journals veröffentlicht wurden. Ziel der Arbeit ist es, ein konzeptionelles Verfahren zu erarbeiten, dieses anhand einer ausgewählten Anzahl von Bildern durchzuführen und zu evaluieren. Die Abbildungen sollen für weitere Forschungsarbeiten und für die Projekte der Wikimedia Foundation zur Verfügung stehen. Das Annotationsverfahren findet im Projekt NOA - Nachnutzung von Open Access Abbildungen Verwendung.
The reuse of scientific raw data is a key demand of Open Science. In the project NOA we foster reuse of scientific images by collecting and uploading them to Wikimedia Commons. In this paper we present a text-based annotation method that proposes Wikipedia categories for open access images. The assigned categories can be used for image retrieval or to upload images to Wikimedia Commons. The annotation basically consists of two phases: extracting salient keywords and mapping these keywords to categories. The results are evaluated on a small record of open access images that were manually annotated.
This paper deals with new job profiles in libraries, mainly systems librarians (German: Systembibliothekare), IT librarians (German: IT-Bibliothekare) and data librarians (German: Datenbibliothekare). It investigates the vacancies and requirements of these positions in the German-speaking countries by analyzing one hundred and fifty published job advertisements of OpenBiblioJobs between 2012-2016. In addition, the distribution of positions, institutional bearers, different job titles as well as time limits, scope of work and remuneration of the positions are evaluated. The analysis of the remuneration in the public sector in Germany also provides information on demands for a bachelor's or master's degree.
The average annual increase in job vacancies between 2012 and 2016 is 14.19%, confirming the need and necessity of these professional library profiles.
The higher remuneration of the positions in data management, in comparison to the systems librarian, proves the prerequisite of the master's degree and thus indicates a desideratum due to missing or few master's degree courses. Accordingly, the range of bachelor's degree courses (or IT-oriented major areas of study with optional compulsory modules in existing bachelor's degree courses) for systems and IT librarians must be further expanded. An alternative could also be modular education programs for librarians and information scientists with professional experience, as it is already the case for music librarians.
Background: Concerns about practice of self-medication (SM) world across are based on associated risks such as adverse reactions, disease masking, increased morbidity, wastage of resources and antibiotic resistance. SM is likely to differ between rural and urban areas of India. Systematically retrieved evidence on these differences are required in order to design targeted measures for improvement. Methods: We conducted a cross sectional study among the general population in urban (Matunga) and rural (Tala) areas of Maharashtra, India to explore SM practices and its associated factors. Face to face interviews were conducted using the validated study questionnaire. Data was analyzed by using descriptive and analytical statistical methods. Results: A total of 1523 inhabitants from 462 households were interviewed between [June/2015] and [August /2015], 778 (51%) of them in rural and 745 (49%) in urban areas. Overall self-medication prevalence was 29.1% (urban; 51.5%, rural; 7.7%, OR 12.7, CI 9.4-17.2) in the study participants. Participants having chronic disease (OR: 3.15, CI: 2.07-4.79) and from urban areas (OR:15.38, CI:8.49-27.85) were more likely to self-medicate. Self-medication practices were characterized by having old prescription (41.6%) as the main reason, fever (39.4%) as top indication and NSAIDs (Non-Steroidal Anti Inflammatory Agents) as the most self-medicated category of drugs (40.7%). Conclusions: The present study documented that the prevalence of self-medication is associated with place of residence, and health status of the study participants. Self-medication is still a major issue in western Maharashtra, India and is majorly an urban phenomenon. Status of implementation of existing regulations should be reconsidered.
In den letzten Jahren wurden verstärkt neue Forschungsinformationssysteme (FIS) geplant, aufgebaut und in Betrieb genommen. Da diese IT-gestützten Informationssysteme eine Vielzahl an Forschungsinformationen beinhalten sowie verschiedenen Zielen dienen können, bietet eine Sammlungsrichtlinie die Möglichkeit, die Entscheidungen auf inhaltlicher Ebene verbindlich und transparent darzustellen. Derartige Richtlinien existieren zum Beispiel bereits für Sammlungen in Bibliotheken und Museen. Die Bachelorarbeit zieht Parallelen zu diesen Bereichen und beschreibt deren Ziele und Inhalte.
In einem praxisbezogenen Teil wurde die Sammlungsrichtlinie für das Informationssystem Göttingen Research Online (GRO) erstellt. Die Vorgehensweise, Hindernisse und Erfahrungen werden zusammenfassend wiedergegeben. Ergänzt werden die Erkenntnisse durch eine Befragung unter deutschen Hochschulen und Forschungseinrichtungen.
Abschließend ist eine Empfehlung für eine FIS-Sammlungsrichtlinie entstanden, die Hinweise, Bestandteile und Best Practices enthält und somit anderen Institutionen als Leitfaden dienen kann.
Research question: In order to reduce fan aggression surrounding rivalry games, team sport organizations often try to placate fans by downplaying the importance of the game (e.g. ‘the derby is not a war’). Drawing on the intergroup conflict literature, this research derives dual identity statements and examines their effectiveness in reducing fan aggressiveness compared to the managerial practice of downplaying rivalry.
Research methods: Three field experimental studies (one face-to-face survey and two online surveys) tested the hypotheses. Established rivalries in the German soccer league Bundesliga served as the empirical setting of the studies. The data were analyzed using ANCOVA and linear regression analyses.
Results and findings: Dual identity statements reduce fan aggressiveness compared to both downplay statements and a no-statement control condition, independent of team identification and trait aggression. Importantly, the managerial practice of downplaying rivalry appears to be counterproductive. It produces even higher levels of fan aggressiveness than making no statement, an effect caused by psychological reactance.
Implications: Sport organizations should not alienate their fan base by attempting to play down the importance of rivalry, which is an integral part of fan identity. Instead, they should strengthen the supporters’ unique identity (as fans of a particular team) while at the same time facilitating identification with the rival at a superordinate level (e.g. as joint fans of a region).
