Habermas, China und die "halbierte Moderne" : im Gespräch mit dem chinesischen Sozialphilosophen und Übersetzer Cao Weidong

Seit den 1980er Jahren erfreut sich die kritische Theorie im intellektuellen Diskurs Chinas großer Beliebtheit. Dank der chinesischen Reformpolitik wird die Sozialphilosophie der Frankfurter Schule zunehmend als Methode verwendet, um den politischen Alltag und den gesellschaftlichen Wandel kritisch zu analysieren. Hierbei spielen die Schriften von Jürgen Habermas und besonders seine Ansichten zur Zivilgesellschaft, Öffentlichkeit und zur Schlüsselrolle der Kommunikation eine wichtige Rolle. Im Rahmen der vom Interdisziplinären Zentrum für Ostasienwissenschaften der Goethe-Universität veranstalteten Konferenz »Kritik – Theorie – Kritische Theorie. Die Frankfurter Schule in China« gab der Habermas-Experte und Übersetzer Cao Weidong Einblick in das chinesische »Habermas-Fieber«

A.Ü. Gözlemevi'nde Yapılan Çift Yıldızların Fotoelektrik Fotometresi

A.&Uuml;. G&ouml;zlemevi&#39;nde Algol, RS CVn ve W UMa t&uuml;r&uuml; yakın &ccedil;ift yıldızların fotometrisi iyi organize edilmiş bir topluluk tarafından y&uuml;r&uuml;t&uuml;lmektedir. Son &uuml;&ccedil; yılda, otuz y&ouml;resinde yakın &ccedil;ift yıldızın ışık eğrisi UBV bantlarında tamamlanmıştır. Bunların i&ccedil;inde kısa d&ouml;nemli bazı sistemlerin ışık eğrileri her yıl elde edilmektedir. G&ouml;zlem aletlerimizde herhangi bir arıza olmadığı takdirde her a&ccedil;ık gece değerlendirilmekte hatta gecenin belirli anında hava a&ccedil;tığında g&ouml;zleme başlandığından saatler değerlendirilmektedir. Bazı başarılı son sınıf &ouml;ğrencileri aktif olarak g&ouml;zleme katılmaktadır. Bu posterde bir yılda tamamlanan ışık eğrileri grafik formatta g&ouml;sterilmiştir.</p

Efficacy and safety of an inactivated whole-virion SARS-CoV-2 vaccine (CoronaVac): interim results of a double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled, phase 3 trial in Turkey.

Background CoronaVac, an inactivated whole-virion SARS-CoV-2 vaccine, has been shown to be well tolerated with a good safety profile in individuals aged 18 years and older in phase 1/2 trials, and provided a good humoral response against SARS-CoV-2. We present the interim efficacy and safety results of a phase 3 clinical trial of CoronaVac in Turkey

Withdrawal of Staphylococcus aureus from intensive care units in Turkey

WOS: 000326241700021PubMed ID: 23663858Background: In the past, Staphylococcus aureus infections have displayed various patterns of epidemiologic curves in hospitals, particularly in intensive care units (ICUs). This study aimed to characterize the current trend in a nationwide survey of ICUs in Turkey. Methods: A total of 88 ICUs from 36 Turkish tertiary hospitals were included in this retrospective study, which was performed during the first 3 months of both 2008 (period [P] 1) and 2011 (P2). A P value <=.01 was considered significant. Results: Although overall rates of hospital-acquired infection (HAI) and device-associated infection densities were similar in P1 and P2, the densities of HAIs due to S aureus and methicillin-resistant S aureus (MRSA) were significantly lower in P2 (P < .0001). However, the proportion of HAIs due to Acinetobacter was significantly higher in P2 (P < .0001). Conclusions: The incidence of S aureus infections is declining rapidly in Turkish ICUs, with potential impacts on empirical treatment strategies in these ICUs.
