Zukunftsaussichten für Dokumentalistinnen und Dokumentalisten: am Beispiel der Dokumentationen des Produktionszentrums Bundeshaus

Die Digitalisierung und technischen Fortschritte zwingen die Dokumentalistinnen und Dokumentalisten dazu, ihren Arbeitstechniken neu zu überdenken und sich über ihre Zukunft Gedanken zu machen. Automatische Sprach- und Gesichtserkennung, automatische Indexierung und Open Data könnten einen grossen Einschnitt bedeuten. Auch die Arbeitsweise ihrer „Kundinnen und Kunden“, den Journalistinnen und Journalisten ändert sich; sie entwickelt sich immer mehr zur Selbstständigkeit, da die Informationsbeschaffung und der Zugang zu Datenbanken immer einfacher wird. Die Arbeit beinhaltet eine Evaluation des Ist-Zustandes und der Schwierigkeiten und Risiken, mit denen sich die Dokumentationen im Produktionszentrum Bundeshaus befassen. Das Ziel ist, anhand der erkannten Probleme einen gangbaren Weg aufzuzeigen, sich in der digitalen (Medien-) Welt zu positionieren um weiterhin Teil des journalistischen Prozesses zu bleiben. Zur Auswertung werden Ansätze aus der Fachliteratur heran- und Erfahrungen und Beobachtungen der verschiedenen Entwicklungen am Arbeitsplatz einbezogen. Für die Zukunft wird eine vertiefte Zusammenarbeit mit den Journalistinnen und Journalisten empfohlen

Photosynthesis dependent acidification of perialgal vacuoles in theParamedum bursaria/Chlorella symbiosis. Visualization by monensin

After treatment with the carboxylic ionophore monensin theChlorella containing perialgal vacuoles of the greenParamecium bursaria swell. TheParamecium cells remain motile at this concentration for at least one day. The swelling is only observed in illuminated cells and can be inhibited by DCMU. We assume that during photosynthesis the perialgal vacuoles are acidified and that monensin exchanges H+ ions against monovalent cations (here K+). In consequence the osmotic value of the vacuoles increases. The proton gradient is believed to drive the transport of maltose from the symbiont into the host. Another but light independent effect of the monensin treatment is the swelling of peripheral alveoles of the ciliates, likewise indicating that the alveolar membrane contains an active proton pump

Meditation on the Soles of the Feet Practice Provides Some Control of Aggression for Individuals with Alzheimer’s Disease

Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive neurodegenerative condition that affects cognition, mental and physical health, and functionality of older people. As the disease progresses from the mild to moderate stage, there is a concomitant increase in several behavioral variables, chiefly agitation, anger, and aggression. Currently, there are no evidence-based treatments for these behaviors in this population. Three individuals with moderate Alzheimer’s disease were taught an informal mindfulness practice, meditation on the Soles of the Feet (SoF), as a self-management strategy within a multiple-baseline design across participants. All three were able to learn and use the SoF practice to manage their verbal and physical aggression. Their use of the SoF practice was correlated with decreased perceived psychological stress for their spouses and caregivers, as well as for the participants, but to a much smaller degree. In terms of social validity, the participants, their spouses, and caregivers rated the SoF practice as acceptable, effective, with no unintended effects, and indicated that they would recommend the practice to others. However, they also rated SoF as effortful for the participants because it involves the participants remembering to use the practice with rising anger, a requirement particularly challenging for those with memory problems. The SoF practice may enable individuals in the early stages of dementia to manage their anger and aggression. The data were derived from an internally valid experimental design, suggestive of initial proof-of-concept, but needs to be replicated before any clinical implications can be imputed from this study

Fragmented governance and spatial equity in metropolitan areas: the role of intergovernmental cooperation and revenue-sharing

This article focuses on policies seeking to address social inequalities in metropolitan areas, where the allocation of resources to places with needs often clashes with the politics of redistribution in fragmented local government systems. Scholarship on metropolitan governance has yet to overcome the opposition between proponents of consolidation and defenders of polycentrism. The crucial open question is whether and how intergovernmental cooperation and revenue-sharing can redress spatial equity in institutionally fragmented metropolitan areas. This article addresses this question by exploring the determinants of social expenditures in the 630 municipalities of seven major metropolitan areas in Switzerland, where revenue-sharing systems are common. The analysis shows that intergovernmental grants make a significant but limited contribution to reducing the mismatch between needs and resources in fragmented and decentralized metropolitan areas, depending on the redistributive efforts made by higher state levels
