Österreichischer HipHop in der österreichischen Medien- und Musiklandschaft am Beispiel der Wiener Szene

Die Diplomarbeit beschreibt die HipHop-Kultur als globales Phänomen im Hinblick auf ihre geschichtliche Entstehung und ihrer lokale Etablierung in der Wiener Jugendszene. Hinterfragt wird die Position des österreichischen HipHops in der österreichischen Medien- und Musiklandschaft. Beleuchtet wird das Thema aus einer wirtschaftlichen, sozial- und medienkritischen Perspektive. Wir stellen uns die Frage, wieso österreichischer HipHop am heimischen Markt keine Aufmerksamkeit zugesprochen wird. Mit Hilfe eines standardisierten Fragebogens befragen wir die Öffentlichkeit unter anderem zu ihrer Meinung über eine Einführung einer Quotenregelung. Wir wollen in Erfahrung bringen, ob durch mehr Zuwendung der Medien und der Musikindustrie, dem HipHop-Genre zu einem Aufschwung am österreichischen Musikmarkt verholfen werden kann.The thesis our diploma deals with the the austrian hiphop culture and their problem gaining interest from the mass media as well as from the musikbusiness. It is difficult for austrian rappers to gain public interest by staying in the underground. The main theory describes the follwing problem: Could it be possible for Austrian HipHop-Artists to gain more attention from the media, the industrie and the public? Is mass media capable of increasing the popularity of this urban culture by giving them more airplay

Social Bonds and White-Collar Crime: A Two-Study Assessment of Informal Social Controls in White-Collar Offenders

In two studies, this paper examines age-graded informal social controls (bonds) in white-collar offenders. Using register data, Study 1 compares bonds in a sample of white-collar offenders to a matched control sample, while Study 2 uses probation data to examine bonds within a subsample of white-collar offenders of Study 1. The results show that white-collar offen- ders, including those who occupy executive positions and those with an adult-crime onset, were characterized by weakened bonds and that early- onset offenders had weaker bonds than adult-onset offenders. Along with the implications of these findings for theory, limitations and directions for future research are presented

Serum neurofilament light chain (sNfL) values in a large cross-sectional population of children with asymptomatic to moderate COVID-19

Background!#!Serum neurofilament light chain (sNfL) is an established biomarker of neuro-axonal damage in multiple neurological disorders. Raised sNfL levels have been reported in adults infected with pandemic coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Levels in children infected with COVID-19 have not as yet been reported.!##!Objective!#!To evaluate whether sNfL is elevated in children contracting COVID-19.!##!Methods!#!Between May 22 and July 22, 2020, a network of outpatient pediatricians in Bavaria, Germany, the Coronavirus antibody screening in children from Bavaria study network (CoKiBa), recruited healthy children into a cross-sectional study from two sources: an ongoing prevention program for 1-14 years, and referrals of 1-17 years consulting a pediatrician for possible infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). We determined sNfL levels by single molecule array immunoassay and SARS-CoV-2 antibody status by two independent quantitative methods.!##!Results!#!Of the 2652 included children, 148 (5.6%) were SARS-CoV-2 antibody positive with asymptomatic to moderate COVID-19 infection. Neurological symptoms-headache, dizziness, muscle aches, or loss of smell and taste-were present in 47/148 cases (31.8%). Mean sNfL levels were 5.5 pg/ml (SD 2.9) in the total cohort, 5.1 (SD 2.1) pg/ml in the children with SARS-CoV-2 antibodies, and 5.5 (SD 3.0) pg/ml in those without. Multivariate regression analysis revealed age-but neither antibody status, antibody levels, nor clinical severity-as an independent predictor of sNfL. Follow-up of children with pediatric multisystem inflammatory syndrome (n = 14) showed no association with sNfL.!##!Conclusions!#!In this population study, children with asymptomatic to moderate COVID-19 showed no neurochemical evidence of neuronal damage
