    Abstract Die Bevölkerung ist bezüglich Herkunft, Staatsangehörigkeit, Muttersprache, kultureller Prägung und Religionszugehörigkeit vielfältiger geworden. Dies erfordert eine Öffnung für die kulturelle Vielfalt auch in der Hospiz- und Palliativarbeit. Es ist hospizlicher Anspruch, die kulturspezifischen Bedürfnisse von kranken Menschen am Lebensende und deren Familien so weit als möglich zu erfüllen. Das Buch zeigt theoretische und praktische Grundlagen und gibt eine Orientierung für Qualifizierungsmaßnahmen zur kultursensiblen Begleitung und zur Netzwerkarbeit mit ausgewählten Fachdiensten und Communities.

    Abstract Introduction: Neuropsychological assessment of cognitive functioning is a crucial part of clinical care: diagnosis, treatment planning, treatment evaluation, research, and prediction of long-term outcomes. The Equivalent Score (ES) method is used to score numerous neuropsychological tests. The ES0 and the ES4 are defined respectively by the outer tolerance limit and the median. The intermediate ESs are commonly calculated using a z-score approach even when the distribution of neuropsychological data is typically non-parametric. To calculate more accurate ESs, we propose that the intermediate ESs need to be calculated based on a non-parametric rank subdivision of the distribution of the adjusted scores.
    Material and methods: We make three simulations to explain the differences between the classical z-score approach, the rank-based approach, and the direct subdivision of the dependent variable.
    Results: The results show that the rank procedure permits dividing the region between ES0 and ES4 into three areas with the same density. The z-score procedure is quite similar to the direct subdivision of the dependent variable and different from the rank subdivision.
    Conclusions: By subdividing intermediate ESs using the rank-subdivision, neuropsychological tests can be scored more accurately, also considering that the two essential points for diagnosis (ES = 0 and ES = 4) remain the same. Future normative data definition should consider the best procedure for scoring with ES.

    Abstract The pyrosequencing methodology was applied in 2005 by 454 Lifesciences to the emerging field of next generation sequencing (NGS), revolutionizing the way of DNA sequencing. In the last years the same strategy grew up and was technologically updated, reaching a high throughput in terms of amount of generated sequences (reads) per run and in terms of length of sequence up to values of 800-1,000 bases. These features of pyrosequencing perfectly fit to bacterial genome sequencing for the de novo assemblies and resequencing as well. The approaches of shotgun and paired ends sequencing allow the bacterial genome finishing providing a high-quality data in few days with unprecedented results.

    Abstract This research studied the relationship between parenthood and life satisfaction in Switzerland. We tested predictions derived from set-point theory, the economic model of parenthood, the approaches that underscore work-family conflict and the psychological rewards from parenthood, and the 'taste for children' theory. We used Swiss Household Panel data (2000-2018) to analyse how life satisfaction changed during parenthood (fixed-effects regression) separately for a first child and a second child, mothers and fathers, and various socio-demographic groups. Our results showed that having a second child, which is common in Switzerland, correlates negatively with mothers' life satisfaction. The observed patterns are consistent with the idea that mothers' life satisfaction trajectories reflect work-family conflict. We found partial support for the set-point and the 'taste for children' theories. Our results did not support the approaches that emphasize the importance of psychological rewards from parenthood.

    Abstract Participants attempted to center a cursor on a video display of a winding roadway with a rate control system. Fourier analysis of their steering movements in response to sinusoidal perturbations of the roadway revealed how much attention they allocated to different roadway preview locations. We compared a full 1.0 s of preview with preview restricted to a narrow slit around 0.3 s or 0.6 s. Participants were able to flexibly shift their attention to either slit. However, they performed better in terms of root-mean-squared error, velocity error, and acceleration error with the fuller view. They concentrated their attention over a range from 0.1 s to 0.3 s of preview in a manner qualitatively consistent with Miller's optimal control model.

    Abstract The presence of monodominant vegetative formations almost exclusively composed of Acuri palm trees (Attalea phalerata) stands out in some regions of the Pantanal Sul-Mato-Grossense. These formations are generally associated with anthropic, edaphic and/or hydrological factors. However, little is known about the effect of allelopathy on the formation and maintenance of these areas. Herein, we investigated the chemical composition of A. phalerata aqueous leaf extract and the potential allelopathic effects on germination and growth of target L. sativa, L. esculentum and S. obtusifolia species. Thus, extracts at concentrations of 0, 2.5, 5, 10, 15, and 20% were used for germination and growth bioassays with a completely randomised design in a germination chamber and greenhouse. The results showed that the A. phalerata extracts negatively affected the germination speed index and mean germination time of the target species and positively affected seedling length under controlled conditions and were also stimulated in the greenhouse. Thus, the formation of Acurizals can be related to the presence of secondary metabolites in the leaves, in addition to other environmental factors.

    Abstract Hypertension is one of the leading risk factors for the development of heart failure. Despite being a multifactorial disease, in recent years, preclinical and clinical studies suggest strong evidence of the pivotal role of inflammatory cells and cytokines in the remodeling process and cardiac dysfunction. During the heart remodeling, activation of extracellular matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) occurs, with MMP-2 being one of the main proteases secreted by cardiomyocytes, fibroblasts, endothelial and inflammatory cells in cardiac tissue. In this review, we will address the process of cardiac remodeling and injury induced by the increase in MMP-2 and the main signaling pathways involving cytokines and inflammatory cells in the process of transcriptional, secretion and activation of MMP-2. In addition, an interaction and coordinated action between MMP-2 and inflammation are explored and significant in maintaining the cardiac cycle. These observations suggest that new therapeutic opportunities targeting MMP-2 could be used to reduce inflammatory biomarkers and reduce cardiac damage in hypertension.

    Abstract Restoration is an emerging tool for coral reef conservation, yet despite small-scale successes there are concerns about high costs and ecological setbacks. Integration between reef ecology and restoration could help address such concerns. A prime example is the use of grazing by herbivores to reduce coral nursery cleaning costs. However, the relation between herbivore communities and cleaning benefits remains unquantified. This study aimed to measure links between herbivorous fish communities, grazing intensity and coral nursery performance. Six reefs were selected in southern Kenya, equally divided across three levels of fisheries management (fished < reserve < no-take). Fish surveys determined herbivorous fish biomass and composition, and remote underwater videos recorded grazing intensity on coral nurseries. Accumulated fouling and coral growth were measured at the end of the 4-month study. Grazing intensity was sixfold lower and fouling density fourfold higher in the fished areas compared to protected zones. Higher fouling strongly correlated with lower coral growth: exponential growth constants in fished areas were respectively twice and three times as low compared to marine reserves and no-take zones. Across study sites grazing was dominated by bristletooth tangs (Ctenochaetus spp.), except where these were outcompeted by territorial damselfish. Thus, better coral nursery performance in protected areas can be partially linked to higher grazing intensity, which in turn is determined by both fish biomass and local species composition. We recommend protecting herbivorous fish species and placing coral nurseries in areas with high biomass of key grazers to improve coral nursery performance and reduce maintenance costs.

    Abstract Background: Strongyloidiasis, a nematode infection which is mainly caused by Strongyloides stercoralis in humans, can lead to a fatal syndrome in immunocompromised individuals. Its diagnosis is challenging due to the absence of a diagnostic gold standard. The infection is highly prevalent in migrants from endemic countries in tropical and subtropical areas, and a rapid diagnostic test would be helpful for screening purposes. The aim of this study was to estimate the accuracy of a novel immunochromatographic test (ICT) for the diagnosis of S. stercoralis infection.
    Methods: A single-centre diagnostic accuracy study was undertaken using well-characterized frozen sera available from the biobank of a referral hospital for parasitic diseases in Italy. The included sera were from migrants from sub-Saharan Africa, and matching results were available for agar plate culture and/or polymerase chain reaction for S. stercoralis; moreover, the results of both a commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay test and an in-house immunofluorescence test for strongyloidiasis were made available. Laboratory staff who read the ICT results were blinded as regards the results of the other tests. Two readers independently read the ICT, and a third one was involved when results were discrepant. The accuracy of the ICT was assessed both against the results of the panel of faecal tests and by latent class analysis (LCA).
    Results: Agreement between the readers was excellent [Cohen's κ = 92.7%, 95% confidence interval (CI) 88.3-97.1%]. When assessed against the results of the faecal tests, the sensitivity and specificity of the ICT were 82.4% (95% CI 75.7-89.0%) and 73.8% (95% CI 66.8-80.9%), respectively. According to the LCA, the sensitivity and specificity were 86.3% (95% CI 80.1-92.5%) and 73.9% (95% CI 67.0-80.8%), respectively.
    Conclusions: The results of the ICT demonstrated ease of interpretation. The accuracy proved good, though the sensitivity might be further improved for screening purposes.
