Nimm's sportlich - Planung als Hindernislauf: 16. Junges Forum der ARL, 29. bis 31. Mai 2013 in Kaiserslautern

Die Raumplanung hat einen anspruchsvollen Gestaltungs- und Koordinationsauftrag. Dabei werden Aufgaben der Planer und Anforderungen an die Planung zunehmend vielfältiger und komplexer. Planer stoßen folglich in ihrer Arbeit immer wieder auf Hemmnisse und Widerstände und erreichen dabei nicht selten die Grenzen ihrer Handlungsfähigkeit. Grenzen stellen jedoch zumeist keine Endpunkte, sondern Schwellen zu Neuland dar. Es geht darum herauszufinden, wie bestehende Grenzen und Hindernisse (in) der Planung in verschiedenen Dimensionen und Bereichen überwunden werden können. Die Herausforderung für die Planer ist dabei häufig, das Altbekannte zurückzulassen und neue Wege zu beschreiten. Im Band werden Antworten auf die Fragen gesucht, wie die Planung handlungsfähig bleiben kann, was sich gegebenenfalls dafür ändern muss und wie die Planung Grenzen und Hindernisse vielleicht sogar für sich nutzen kann. Die Tagung des Jungen Forums der ARL vom 29. bis 31. Mai 2013 in Kaiserslautern setzte sich mit diesen Themen auseinander. Folgende Fragen standen im Zentrum: Wie können neue Wege in der Planung beschritten werden? Was muss sich ändern, und wie kann Planung die vorhandenen Grenzen und Hindernisse für sich nutzen?Spatial planning has a challenging mandate of design and coordination. Herewith, the tasks of planners and the demands made on planning are becoming increasingly diverse and complex. Planners are thus repeatedly confronted with boundaries and barriers, often reaching the limits of their ability to act. However, such limits are seldom final; they represent rather transitions to new situations. It is a matter of discovering how to overcome the existing boundaries and barriers of (or in) the various dimensions and fields of planning. Often the challenge for planners here is to leave behind what is familiar and to break new ground. This volume seeks answers to the questions of how planning can remain capable of effective action, what would have to change to ensure this, and how planning can perhaps even take advantage of boundaries and barriers. The meeting of the ARL Junges Forum from 29 to 31 Mai 2013 in Kaiserslautern discussed these topics. The focus was on the following questions: How can new avenues be explored in planning? What needs to change, and how can planning actually take advantage of existing boundaries and barriers

Diffusion-weighted MRI in acute spinal cord ischaemia

Abstract : Acute spinal cord ischaemia is often undetectable with conventional MRI. Diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI) has been difficult to use in the spine because of susceptibility artefacts. We assessed the diagnostic value of echoplanar DWI for early confirmation of spinal cord ischaemia. We performed conventional MRI and DWI in two men and three women, aged 54-75years with clinically suspected acute spinal cord ischaemia. Imaging was performed 9-46h after the onset of symptoms, and 2-9days later to assess the extent of ischaemic signal change. Spatial resolution of DWI within the spine using standard equipment was poor, but in all patients, early DWI revealed areas of high signal indicating decreased diffusion, confirmed by measurement of apparent diffusion coefficients. Follow-up MRI showed high signal on T2-weighted images and contrast enhancement at the expected levels. Neurological deficits corresponded with radiological findings in four patients: various syndromes, including isolated bilateral weakness or sensory change and combined deficits, were found. Echoplanar DWI may be helpful for confirmation of spinal cord ischaemia in the acute stage, but follow-up T2-weighted images have superior spatial resolution and correlation with clinical findings and lesion exten

The Visegrad Group and the EU agenda on migration: A coalition of the unwilling?

More than a million refugees applied for asylum in member states of the European Union in the course of 2015. Along with the challenges of the central Mediterranean migration route, new hotspots of migratory movements emerged, such as Hungary. The EU is faced as a result with a number of challenges connected to its asylum policy, mostly because its system was not designed with the prospects of a persistent mass influx of refugees in mind. Although the recast process of the Common European Asylum System (CEAS) established the possibility of financial compensation, supportive measures and earlywarning mechanisms, no common system for a more equal distribution of refugees was accepted. Initiatives aiming to establish resettlement and relocation mechanisms based on distribution keys were not supported unanimously. Among the prominent persistent objectors to such plans are the Visegrad Four (V4) countries who express a strong interest in securitising irregular migration. This article aims to explain V4 countries’ reactions, and examines whether a fundamental reassessment of the CEAS is really needed or possible in the near future

Physical Activity in The Elementary Classroom

It is clear that physical activity affects the body and helps us to become healthy and physically fit, but there is an increasing amount of research being done suggesting that the benefits of physical activity stretch much farther than building and toning muscles. During physical activity, the brain is influenced in ways that have the potential to improve academic success among elementary school students. The purpose of our thesis was to analyze the research that has been done on the effects of physical activity on the brain by creating this literature review that helps determine how physical activity can be utilized in the education system. We then took that information and compared it to our theories so that we could better understand where current issues lay and how they might be addressed as we enter the teaching profession. Based on our research, we developed a pedagogical theory of best practice which we can now put to use in our future teaching careers. To conclude this thesis, we have included ways for teachers to implement our findings through activities such as brain breaks, teaching strategies and school wide fitness programs, so that our research benefits more than just our own classrooms. Our goal is to impact the lives of as many students as we can, in the area of physical education

Human Embodiment and Christian Worship: God\u27s Revelation Through the Human Body in Scripture, Theology, and Liturgy

This research will demonstrate that bodily existence is essential to human nature and that Christian worship practices must go hand-in-hand with a sound understanding of human embodiment in order to be faithful to the essence of Christianity. The following thesis demonstrates that the biblical understanding is that humanity was created as a body enlivened by the breath of God and intended to be the sacred sanctuary where God’s presence will dwell. In the incarnation of Jesus Christ, God’s goal to make humanity the sanctuary for his presence is fulfilled. Jesus Christ is the image of God, who redeems and represents all humanity regardless of age, class, race, or gender. All humanity finds their ultimate destiny in union with Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit, by which those who believe are transformed into God’s dwelling place. The human body is where God is most directly present in creation, and thus must be accounted for in all reflections on worship and the Christian life. Ritual practices are proven to form human beliefs and behaviors in critical ways, requiring that liturgical rituals be carefully formed to faithfully shape Christians into God’s sanctuary. All ethnicities, classes, and genders are invited into the Church, and the liturgy must especially recognize the gendered experience that all people have of God, necessitating the representation of both women and men as leaders within the Church. Sacred architecture must be structured and organized to nurture and orient people towards an embodied engagement with God. If the sanctuary God is building in the Church is to be truly faithful, the essentially embodied existence of humanity must be unequivocally affirmed and guide Christian doctrinal, liturgical, and spiritual practices

Inherited cavernous malformations of the central nervous system: clinical and genetic features in 19 Swiss families

Cavernous malformations (CCMs) are benign, well-circumscribed, and mulberry-like vascular malformations that may be found in the central nervous system in up to 0.5% of the population. Cavernous malformations can be sporadic or inherited. The common symptoms are epilepsy, hemorrhages, focal neurological deficits, and headaches. However, CCMs are often asymptomatic. The familiar form is associated with three gene loci, namely 7q21-q22 (CCM1), 7p13-p15 (CCM2), and 3q25.2-q27 (CCM3) and is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait with incomplete penetrance. The CCM genes are identified as Krit 1 (CCM1), MGC4607 (CCM2), and PDCD10 (CCM3). Here, we present the clinical and genetic features of CCMs in 19 Swiss families. Furthermore, surgical aspects in such families are also discusse

Structure and activity of the Streptococcus pyogenes family GH1 6-phospho β-glycosidase, Spy1599

The group A streptococcus Streptococcus pyogenes is the causative agent of a wide spectrum of invasive infections, including necrotizing fasciitis, scarlet fever and toxic shock syndrome. In the context of its carbohydrate chemistry, it is interesting that S. pyogenes (in this work strain M1 GAS SF370) displays a spectrum of oligosaccharide-processing enzymes that are located in close proximity on the genome but that the in vivo function of these proteins remains unknown. These proteins include different sugar transporters (SPy1593 and SPy1595), both GH125 -1,6- and GH38 -1,3-mannosidases (SPy1603 and SPy1604), a GH84 -hexosaminidase (SPy1600) and a putative GH2 -galactosidase (SPy1586), as well as SPy1599, a family GH1 `putative -glucosidase'. Here, the solution of the three-dimensional structure of SPy1599 in a number of crystal forms complicated by unusual crystallographic twinning is reported. The structure is a classical (/)8-barrel, consistent with CAZy family GH1 and other members of the GH-A clan. SPy1599 has been annotated in sequence depositions as a -glucosidase (EC 3.2.1.21), but no such activity could be found; instead, three-dimensional structural overlaps with other enzymes of known function suggested that SPy1599 contains a phosphate-binding pocket in the active site and has possible 6-phospho--glycosidase activity. Subsequent kinetic analysis indeed showed that SPy1599 has 6-phospho--glucosidase (EC 3.2.1.86) activity. These data suggest that SPy1599 is involved in the intracellular degradation of 6-phosphoglycosides, which are likely to originate from import through one of the organism's many phosphoenolpyruvate phosphotransfer systems (PEP-PTSs)
