    Abstract Die neoinstitutionalistische Kritik wendet sich gegen die durch den Keynesianismus eingeführte Möglichkeit der Defizitfinanzierung von Staatsausgaben, welche aufgrund politisch-ökonomischer Interdependenzen in westlichen Demokratien zu immer neuen und höheren Defiziten, einem wachsenden Staatsanteil und ständig steigenden Inflationsraten führt. Auf der Basis dieser Kritik wird eine Rückkehr zur Regel des jährlichen materiellen Haushaltsausgleichs gefordert. Die vorliegende Arbeit setzt sich kritisch mit der neoinstitutionalistischen Analyse und der Forderung eines jährlichen Budgetausgleichs auseinander. Der Autor relativiert diese Forderung durch allokative und stabilisatorische Argumente und schlägt Ergänzungsregelungen vor

    Abstract The use of opportunistic computed tomography (CT) image-based biomarkers may be a low-cost strategy for screening older individuals at high risk for osteoporotic fractures and populations that are not sufficiently targeted. This review aimed to assess the discriminative ability of image-based biomarkers derived from existing clinical routine CT scans for hip, vertebral, and major osteoporotic fracture prediction. A systematic search in PubMed MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane, and Web of Science was conducted from the earliest indexing date until July 2023. The evaluation of study quality was carried out using a modified Quality Assessment Tool for Diagnostic Accuracy Studies (QUADAS-2) checklist. The primary outcome of interest was the area under the curve (AUC) and its corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) obtained for four main categories of biomarkers: areal bone mineral density (BMD), image attenuation, volumetric BMD, and finite element (FE)-derived biomarkers. The meta-analyses were performed using random effects models. Sixty-one studies were included in this review, among which 35 were synthesized in a meta-analysis and the remaining articles were qualitatively synthesized. In comparison to the pooled AUC of areal BMD (0.73 [95% CI 0.71-0.75]), the pooled AUC values for predicting osteoporotic fractures for FE-derived parameters (0.77 [95% CI 0.72-0.81]; p < 0.01) and volumetric BMD (0.76 [95% CI 0.71-0.81]; p < 0.01) were significantly higher, but there was no significant difference with the pooled AUC for image attenuation (0.73 [95% CI 0.66-0.79]; p = 0.93). Compared to areal BMD, volumetric BMD and FE-derived parameters may provide a significant improvement in the discrimination of osteoporotic fractures using opportunistic CT assessments.

    Abstract Plant parasites take advantage of host developmental plasticity to elicit profound developmental and physiological changes. In the case of plant-parasitic nematodes (PPNs), these changes can result in the development of new plant organs. Despite the importance of the development- and physiology-altering abilities of these parasites in pathology, research has historically focused on their abilities to suppress immunity. We argue that, given the dramatic changes involved in feeding site establishment, it is entirely possible that development- and physiology-altering abilities of PPNs may, in fact, dominate effector repertoires - highlighting the need for novel high-throughput screens for development- and physiology-altering 'tools'. Uncovering this portion of the nematode 'toolbox' can enable biotechnology, enhance crop protection, and shed light on fundamental host biology itself.

    Abstract Plant-parasitic nematodes spend much of their lives inside or in contact with host tissue, and molecular interactions constantly occur and shape the outcome of parasitism. Eggs of these parasites generally hatch in the soil, and the juveniles must locate and infect an appropriate host before their stored energy is exhausted. Components of host exudate are evaluated by the nematode and direct its migration to its infection site. Host plants recognize approaching nematodes before physical contact through molecules released by the nematodes and launch a defense response. In turn, nematodes deploy numerous mechanisms to counteract plant defenses. This review focuses on these early stages of the interaction between plants and nematodes. We discuss how nematodes perceive and find suitable hosts, how plants perceive and mount a defense response against the approaching parasites, and how nematodes fight back against host defenses.

    Abstract Despite the known critical regulatory functions of microRNAs, histone modifications, and DNA methylation in reprograming plant epigenomes in response to pathogen infection, the molecular mechanisms underlying the tight coordination of these components remain poorly understood. Here, we show how Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) miR778 coordinately modulates the root transcriptome, histone methylation, and DNA methylation via post-transcriptional regulation of the H3K9 methyltransferases SU(var)3-9 homolog 5 (SUVH5) and SUVH6 upon infection by the beet cyst nematode Heterodera schachtii. miR778 post-transcriptionally silences SUVH5 and SUVH6 upon nematode infection. Manipulation of the expression of miR778 and its two target genes significantly altered plant susceptibility to H. schachtii. RNA-seq analysis revealed a key role of SUVH5 and SUVH6 in reprograming the transcriptome of Arabidopsis roots upon H. schachtii infection. In addition, chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP)-seq analysis established SUVH5 and SUVH6 as the main enzymes mediating H3K9me2 deposition in Arabidopsis roots in response to nematode infection. ChIP-seq analysis also showed that these methyltransferases possess distinct DNA binding preferences in that they are targeting transposable elements under noninfected conditions and protein-coding genes in infected plants. Further analyses indicated that H3K9me2 deposition directed by SUVH5 and SUVH6 contributes to gene expression changes both in roots and in nematode feeding sites and preferentially associates with CG DNA methylation. Together, our results uncovered multi-layered epigenetic regulatory mechanisms coordinated by miR778 during Arabidopsis-H. schachtii interactions.

    Abstract Numerical models of the musculoskeletal system as investigative tools are an integral part of biomechanical and clinical research. While finite element modeling is primarily suitable for the examination of deformation states and internal stresses in flexible bodies, multibody modeling is based on the assumption of rigid bodies, that are connected via joints and flexible elements. This simplification allows the consideration of biomechanical systems from a holistic perspective and thus takes into account multiple influencing factors of mechanical loads. Being the source of major health issues worldwide, the human spine is subject to a variety of studies using these models to investigate and understand healthy and pathological biomechanics of the upper body. In this review, we summarize the current state-of-the-art literature on multibody models of the thoracolumbar spine and identify limitations and challenges related to current modeling approaches.
