    Die wirtschaftlichen Folgen von Trennung und Scheidung für Familien: Erwerbstätigkeit, Einkommen und Lebenszufriedenheit

    Full text link
    "In der Expertise werden neben grundsätzlichen methodischen Überlegungen auch erste Ergebnisse einer Analy-se der wirtschaftlichen Folgen von Scheidung und Trennung mit Längsschnittdaten (SOEP) vorgestellt. Einige Ergebnisse in Kürze: Die Dynamik des Arbeitsangebotsverhaltens ist offensichtlich wesentlich höher als es durch bisherige, auf Quer-schnittdaten basierenden, Analysen gezeigt wurde. Im Zuge von Scheidung und Trennung sind sowohl zu- als auch zu abnehmende Erwerbsaktivitäten zu beobachten. Bei vielen Frauen ist zu beobachten, dass die Überein-stimmung zwischen Erwerbswunsch und realisiertem Arbeitsangebot nach Scheidung oder Trennung größer ist als vorher. Die Ergebnisse der Einkommensanalysen werden durch den zugrundegelegten Einkommensbegriff bestimmt. Werden Pro-Kopf-Einkommen verwendet, dann bewirken Scheidung und Trennung durchgehend keine Ver-schlechterung der Einkommenssituation. Werden aber größere 'economies of scale' der Haushaltsführung un-terstellt, dann zählen vor allem die Frauen zu den Verlierern von Scheidung und Trennung. Für die Sozialpolitik dürfte es von Interesse sein, dass Scheidung und Trennung nicht zu einer deutlichen Zunahme der Inanspruch-nahme der Sozialhilfe führt. Die ökonomischen Folgen von Scheidung und Trennung beeinflussen die allgemeine Lebenszufriedenheit – die als Proxy für subjektiv empfundene Wohlfahrt gelten kann – in negativer Weise. Gleiches gilt aber auch für die Ereignisse Scheidung und Trennung selbst. Allerdings werden diese schon sehr frühzeitig antizipiert." (Autorenreferat)"This expertise deals with methodological issues when analyzing the economic consequences of divorce and separation by means of longitudinal data (German Socio Economic Panel Study). In addition first results are pre-sented: Obviously there is a higher dynamic in labor supply as it was shown by previous studies using cross sectional data. Both, decreases and increases in labor supply can be observed following marital dissolution. However, the results might be interpreted in a way, that for most women desired and realized labor supply match better after dissolution than before. Thus, welfare would increase. The results of the income analyses depend on the income concept chosen. Using per capita income no decrease in income can be observed. Allowing the income concept to have greater economies of scale, however, leads to a decline in the welfare of women. It may be of interest for social policy, that there is no significant increase in the take up of social transfers. The economic consequences of marital dissolution have a negative impact on life satisfaction – which can serve as a proxy for subjective well being. This is also true for the event of marital dissolution itself. However, this ef-fect will be anticipated even before marital dissolution takes place." (author's abstract

    Get PDF
    Die Industrialisierung des produzierenden Gewerbes sorgte bereits Anfang des 19. Jahrhunderts für einen Produktivitätszu-wachs und steigende Qualität bei sinkenden Kosten. IT-Dienstleistungen unterliegen durch verstärkte Standardisierung und Automatisierung sowie Übertragung weiterer industrieller Konzepte zurzeit ebenso einem Industrialisierungsprozess.Dieser Beitrag untersucht anhand beispielhaft ausgewählter IT-Dienstleister, ob und wie diese bereits Industrialisierungsansätze aufgreifen und welche Effekte sie mit diesen verbinden. Hierzu werden sechs Ansätze der Industrialisierung identifiziert und hinsichtlich ihrer Anwendung und Auswirkung auf Kosten, Qualität und Produktivität der Leistungserstellung hinterfragt.Die Ergebnisse dieser Untersuchung zeigen, dass Ansätze wie Prozessstandardisierung, Modularisierung und Qualitätsmana-gement bereits verbreitet adaptiert werden. Diesen etablierten Ansätzen wird eine positive Wirkung auf Kosten, Produktivität und Qualität zugesprochen. In den Augen der Befragten wird die Industrialisierung von IT-Dienstleistungen weiter fortschreiten. Sie sehen insbesondere in den Bereichen Sourcing, Automatisie-rung, Prozessstandardisierung und Modularisierung weitere Industrialisierungspotenziale

    Evaluation of patients with respiratory infections during the first pandemic wave in Germany: characteristics of COVID-19 versus non-COVID-19 patients

    BACKGROUND Characteristics of COVID-19 patients have mainly been reported within confirmed COVID-19 cohorts. By analyzing patients with respiratory infections in the emergency department during the first pandemic wave, we aim to assess differences in the characteristics of COVID-19 vs. Non-COVID-19 patients. This is particularly important regarding the second COVID-19 wave and the approaching influenza season. METHODS We prospectively included 219 patients with suspected COVID-19 who received radiological imaging and RT-PCR for SARS-CoV-2. Demographic, clinical and laboratory parameters as well as RT-PCR results were used for subgroup analysis. Imaging data were reassessed using the following scoring system: 0 - not typical, 1 - possible, 2 - highly suspicious for COVID-19. RESULTS COVID-19 was diagnosed in 72 (32,9%) patients. In three of them (4,2%) the initial RT-PCR was negative while initial CT scan revealed pneumonic findings. 111 (50,7%) patients, 61 of them (55,0%) COVID-19 positive, had evidence of pneumonia. Patients with COVID-19 pneumonia showed higher body temperature (37,7~± 0,1 vs. 37,1~± 0,1 °C; p = 0.0001) and LDH values (386,3~± 27,1 vs. 310,4~± 17,5 U/l; p = 0.012) as well as lower leukocytes (7,6~± 0,5 vs. 10,1~± 0,6G/l; p = 0.0003) than patients with other pneumonia. Among abnormal CT findings in COVID-19 patients, 57 (93,4%) were evaluated as highly suspicious or possible for COVID-19. In patients with negative RT-PCR and pneumonia, another third was evaluated as highly suspicious or possible for COVID-19 (14 out of 50; 28,0%). The sensitivity in the detection of patients requiring isolation was higher with initial chest CT than with initial RT-PCR (90,4% vs. 79,5%). CONCLUSIONS COVID-19 patients show typical clinical, laboratory and imaging parameters which enable a sensitive detection of patients who demand isolation measures due to COVID-19

    Readout for intersatellite laser interferometry: Measuring low frequency phase fluctuations of HF signals with microradian precision

    Full text link
    Precision phase readout of optical beat note signals is one of the core techniques required for intersatellite laser interferometry. Future space based gravitational wave detectors like eLISA require such a readout over a wide range of MHz frequencies, due to orbit induced Doppler shifts, with a precision in the order of μrad/Hz\mu \textrm{rad}/\sqrt{\textrm{Hz}} at frequencies between 0.1mHz0.1\,\textrm{mHz} and 1Hz1\,\textrm{Hz}. In this paper, we present phase readout systems, so-called phasemeters, that are able to achieve such precisions and we discuss various means that have been employed to reduce noise in the analogue circuit domain and during digitisation. We also discuss the influence of some non-linear noise sources in the analogue domain of such phasemeters. And finally, we present the performance that was achieved during testing of the elegant breadboard model of the LISA phasemeter, that was developed in the scope of an ESA technology development activity.Comment: submitted to Review of Scientific Instruments on April 30th 201

    Clinically focused multi-cohort benchmarking as a tool for external validation of artificial intelligence algorithm performance in basic chest radiography analysis

    Get PDF
    Artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms evaluating [supine] chest radiographs ([S]CXRs) have remarkably increased in number recently. Since training and validation are often performed on subsets of the same overall dataset, external validation is mandatory to reproduce results and reveal potential training errors. We applied a multicohort benchmarking to the publicly accessible (S)CXR analyzing AI algorithm CheXNet, comprising three clinically relevant study cohorts which differ in patient positioning ([S]CXRs), the applied reference standards (CT-/[S]CXR-based) and the possibility to also compare algorithm classification with different medical experts’ reading performance. The study cohorts include [1] a cohort, characterized by 563 CXRs acquired in the emergency unit that were evaluated by 9 readers (radiologists and non-radiologists) in terms of 4 common pathologies, [2] a collection of 6,248 SCXRs annotated by radiologists in terms of pneumothorax presence, its size and presence of inserted thoracic tube material which allowed for subgroup and confounding bias analysis and [3] a cohort consisting of 166 patients with SCXRs that were evaluated by radiologists for underlying causes of basal lung opacities, all of those cases having been correlated to a timely acquired computed tomography scan (SCXR and CT within < 90 min). CheXNet non-significantly exceeded the radiology resident (RR) consensus in the detection of suspicious lung nodules (cohort [1], AUC AI/RR: 0.851/0.839, p = 0.793) and the radiological readers in the detection of basal pneumonia (cohort [3], AUC AI/reader consensus: 0.825/0.782, p = 0.390) and basal pleural effusion (cohort [3], AUC AI/reader consensus: 0.762/0.710, p = 0.336) in SCXR, partly with AUC values higher than originally published (“Nodule”: 0.780, “Infiltration”: 0.735, “Effusion”: 0.864). The classifier “Infiltration” turned out to be very dependent on patient positioning (best in CXR, worst in SCXR). The pneumothorax SCXR cohort [2] revealed poor algorithm performance in CXRs without inserted thoracic material and in the detection of small pneumothoraces, which can be explained by a known systematic confounding error in the algorithm training process. The benefit of clinically relevant external validation is demonstrated by the differences in algorithm performance as compared to the original publication. Our multi-cohort benchmarking finally enables the consideration of confounders, different reference standards and patient positioning as well as the AI performance comparison with differentially qualified medical readers

    <p>Abstract</p> <p>Introduction</p> <p>A number of studies has addressed the possible association between patent foramen ovale (PFO) and stroke. However, the role of PFO in the pathogenesis of cerebral ischemia has remained controversial and most studies did not analyze patient subgroups stratified for gender, age and origin of stroke.</p> <p>Methods</p> <p>To address the role of PFO for the occurrence of cerebral ischemia, we investigated the prevalence of right-to-left shunt in a large group of patients with acute stroke or TIA. 763 consecutive patients admitted to our hospital with cerebral ischemia were analyzed. All patients were screened for the presence of PFO by contrast-enhanced transcranial Doppler sonography at rest and during Valsalva maneuver. Subgroup analyses were performed in patients stratified for gender, age and origin of stroke.</p> <p>Results</p> <p>A right-to-left shunt was detected in 140 (28%) male and in 114 (42%) female patients during Valsalva maneuver, and in 66 (13%) and 44 (16%) at rest respectively. Patients with right-to-left shunt were younger than those without (<it>P </it>< 0.001). PFO was associated with stroke of unknown origin in male (<it>P </it>= 0.001) but not female patients (<it>P </it>> 0.05). After adjusting for age no significant association between PFO and stroke of unknown origin was found in either group.</p> <p>Conclusion</p> <p>Our findings argue against paradoxical embolization as a major cause of cerebral ischemia in patients with right-to-left shunt. Our data demonstrate substantial gender-and age-related differences that should be taken into account in future studies.</p

    Changes in Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors With Immediate Versus Deferred Antiretroviral Therapy Initiation Among HIV-Positive Participants in the START (Strategic Timing of Antiretroviral Treatment) Trial

    Get PDF
    Introduction-HIV infection and certain antiretroviral therapy (ART) medications increase atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk, mediated, in part, through traditional cardiovascular disease risk factors. Methods and Results-We studied cardiovascular disease risk factor changes in the START (Strategic Timing of Antiretroviral Treatment) trial, a randomized study of immediate versus deferred ART initiation among HIV-positive persons with CD4+ cell counts >500 cells/mm(3). Mean change from baseline in risk factors and the incidence of comorbid conditions were compared between groups. The characteristics among 4685 HIV-positive START trial participants include a median age of 36 years, a CD4 cell count of 651 cells/mm(3), an HIV viral load of 12 759 copies/mL, a current smoking status of 32%, a median systolic/diastolic blood pressure of 120/76 mm Hg, and median levels of total cholesterol of 168 mg/dL, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol of 102 mg/dL, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol of 41 mg/dL. Mean follow-up was 3.0 years. The immediate and deferred ART groups spent 94% and 28% of follow-up time taking ART, respectively. Compared with patients in the deferral group, patients in the immediate ART group had increased total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and higher use of lipid-lowering therapy (1.2%;95% CI, 0.1-2.2). Concurrent increases in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol with immediate ART resulted in a 0.1 lower total cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (95% CI, 0.1-0.2). Immediate ART resulted in 2.3% less BP-lowering therapy use (95% CI, 0.9-3.6), but there were no differences in new-onset hypertension or diabetes mellitus. Conclusions-Among HIV-positive persons with preserved immunity, immediate ART led to increases in total cholesterol and lowdensity lipoprotein cholesterol but also concurrent increases in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and decreased use of blood pressure medications. These opposing effects suggest that, in the short term, the net effect of early ART on traditional cardiovascular disease risk factors may be clinically insignificant.

    Genome-wide association study of borderline personality disorder reveals genetic overlap with the bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and major depression

    Get PDF
    Borderline personality disorder (BOR) is determined by environmental and genetic factors, and characterized by affective instability and impulsivity, diagnostic symptoms also observed in manic phases of Bipolar Disorder (BIP). Up to 20% of BIP patients show comorbidity with BOR. This report describes the first case-control genome-wide association study (GWAS) of BOR, performed in one of the largest BOR patient samples worldwide. The focus of our analysis was: (i) to detect genes and gene-sets involved in BOR; and (ii) to investigate the genetic overlap with BIP. As there is considerable genetic overlap between BIP, Major Depression (MDD) and Schizophrenia (SCZ) and a high comorbidity of BOR and MDD, we also analyzed the genetic overlap of BOR with SCZ and MDD. GWAS, gene-based tests,and gene-set-analyses were performed in 998 BOR patients and 1,545 controls. LD score regression was used to detect genetic overlap between BOR and these disorders. Single marker analysis revealed no significant association after correction for multiple testing. Genebased analysis yielded two significant genes: DPYD (p=4.42x10-7) and PKP4 (p=8.67x10-7); and gene-set-analysis yielded a significant finding for exocytosis (GO:0006887, pFDR=0.019). Prior studies have implicated DPYD, PKP4 and exocytosis in BIP and SCZ. The most notable finding of the present study was the genetic overlap of BOR with BIP (rg=0.28 [p=2.99x10-3]), SCZ (rg=0.34 [p=4.37x10-5]), and MDD (rg=0.57 [p=1.04x10-3]). Our study is the first to demonstrate that BOR overlaps with BIP, MDD and SCZ on the genetic level. Whether this is confined to transdiagnostic clinical symptoms should be examined in future studies

    Dissecting the Shared Genetic Architecture of Suicide Attempt, Psychiatric Disorders, and Known Risk Factors

    Get PDF
    Background Suicide is a leading cause of death worldwide, and nonfatal suicide attempts, which occur far more frequently, are a major source of disability and social and economic burden. Both have substantial genetic etiology, which is partially shared and partially distinct from that of related psychiatric disorders. Methods We conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of 29,782 suicide attempt (SA) cases and 519,961 controls in the International Suicide Genetics Consortium (ISGC). The GWAS of SA was conditioned on psychiatric disorders using GWAS summary statistics via multitrait-based conditional and joint analysis, to remove genetic effects on SA mediated by psychiatric disorders. We investigated the shared and divergent genetic architectures of SA, psychiatric disorders, and other known risk factors. Results Two loci reached genome-wide significance for SA: the major histocompatibility complex and an intergenic locus on chromosome 7, the latter of which remained associated with SA after conditioning on psychiatric disorders and replicated in an independent cohort from the Million Veteran Program. This locus has been implicated in risk-taking behavior, smoking, and insomnia. SA showed strong genetic correlation with psychiatric disorders, particularly major depression, and also with smoking, pain, risk-taking behavior, sleep disturbances, lower educational attainment, reproductive traits, lower socioeconomic status, and poorer general health. After conditioning on psychiatric disorders, the genetic correlations between SA and psychiatric disorders decreased, whereas those with nonpsychiatric traits remained largely unchanged. Conclusions Our results identify a risk locus that contributes more strongly to SA than other phenotypes and suggest a shared underlying biology between SA and known risk factors that is not mediated by psychiatric disorders.Peer reviewe
