Anforderungsanalyse zur Mehrsprachigkeit eines Web-Content-Management-Systems

\u27Think global – act local!\u27 Ein bekannter Spruch, der im World Wide Web seine Gültigkeit nicht verloren hat. Im Zuge der zunehmenden Globalisierung wächst die Notwendigkeit für einen internationalen mehrsprachigen Web-Auftritt, der auf die jeweilige Zielgruppe lokalisiert zugeschnitten wird. Für den Anbieter einer globalen Web Site stellen sich verschiedene Probleme und Aufgaben. Eine globale Web Site zu erstellen heißt unter anderem, kulturelle Unterschiede zu erkennen und entsprechend in der E-Business-Strategie zu berücksichtigen. Ziel des Arbeitspapiers ist es, grundlegende Anforderungen der Mehrsprachenfähigkeit einer Web Site und daraus resultierend an ein WCMS abzuleiten. Im zweiten Kapitel werden die Implikationen der Globalisierung auf eine Web Site dargestellt, um daraus Anforderungen und Vorgehensweisen für die Gestaltung einer Web Site abzuleiten. Darauf aufbauend werden die grundlegende Struktur von WCMS und die Unterstützungsmöglichkeiten bei der Gestaltung einer mehrsprachigen Web Site durch WCMS dargestellt. Im dritten Kaptitel werden die grundlegenden Anforderungen an ein mehrsprachiges WCMS erarbeitet. Dazu werden die aufgabenspezifischen Anforderungen an eine mehrsprachige Web Site und daraus abgeleitet an ein WCMS beschrieben. Abschließend werden die technikspezifischen Anforderungen näher untersucht

Public perception of "scarless" surgery : a critical analysis of the literature

Evidence relating to the perception and view of patients and physicians on natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) and laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (LESS) was scrutinized. A comprehensive literature search was performed through PubMed. A total of 18 studies were included in the analysis. Patients demonstrated interest in scarless surgery, with a preference for LESS over NOTES. Safety and efficacy remain the key factors in the decision-making process of patients. With more information about the safety and reproducibility of LESS and NOTES, and with improved educational efforts, patients and physicians alike may feel more comfortable in widespread application of scarless surgery.(undefined

Systematic multi-omics cell line profiling uncovers principles of Ewing sarcoma fusion oncogene-mediated gene regulation

Ewing sarcoma (EwS) is characterized by EWSR1-ETS fusion transcription factors converting polymorphic GGAA microsatellites (mSats) into potent neo-enhancers. Although the paucity of additional mutations makes EwS a genuine model to study principles of cooperation between dominant fusion oncogenes and neo-enhancers, this is impeded by the limited number of well-characterized models. Here we present the Ewing Sarcoma Cell Line Atlas (ESCLA), comprising whole-genome, DNA methylation, transcriptome, proteome, and chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq) data of 18 cell lines with inducible EWSR1-ETS knockdown. The ESCLA shows hundreds of EWSR1-ETS-targets, the nature of EWSR1-ETS-preferred GGAA mSats, and putative indirect modes of EWSR1-ETS-mediated gene regulation, converging in the duality of a specific but plastic EwS signature. We identify heterogeneously regulated EWSR1-ETS-targets as potential prognostic EwS biomarkers. Our freely available ESCLA (http://r2platform.com/escla/) is a rich resource for EwS research and highlights the power of comprehensive datasets to unravel principles of heterogeneous gene regulation by chimeric transcription factors

Genome Sequencing of SHH Medulloblastoma Predicts Genotype-Related Response to Smoothened Inhibition

SummarySmoothened (SMO) inhibitors recently entered clinical trials for sonic-hedgehog-driven medulloblastoma (SHH-MB). Clinical response is highly variable. To understand the mechanism(s) of primary resistance and identify pathways cooperating with aberrant SHH signaling, we sequenced and profiled a large cohort of SHH-MBs (n = 133). SHH pathway mutations involved PTCH1 (across all age groups), SUFU (infants, including germline), and SMO (adults). Children >3 years old harbored an excess of downstream MYCN and GLI2 amplifications and frequent TP53 mutations, often in the germline, all of which were rare in infants and adults. Functional assays in different SHH-MB xenograft models demonstrated that SHH-MBs harboring a PTCH1 mutation were responsive to SMO inhibition, whereas tumors harboring an SUFU mutation or MYCN amplification were primarily resistant

Alternative lengthening of telomeres in childhood neuroblastoma from genome to proteome

Telomere maintenance by telomerase activation or alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT) is a major determinant of poor outcome in neuroblastoma. Here, we screen for ALT in primary and relapsed neuroblastomas (n = 760) and characterize its features using multi-omics profiling. ALT-positive tumors are molecularly distinct from other neuroblastoma subtypes and enriched in a population-based clinical sequencing study cohort for relapsed cases. They display reduced ATRX/DAXX complex abundance, due to either ATRX mutations (55%) or low protein expression. The heterochromatic histone mark H3K9me3 recognized by ATRX is enriched at the telomeres of ALT-positive tumors. Notably, we find a high frequency of telomeric repeat loci with a neuroblastoma ALT-specific hotspot on chr1q42.2 and loss of the adjacent chromosomal segment forming a neo-telomere. ALT-positive neuroblastomas proliferate slowly, which is reflected by a protracted clinical course of disease. Nevertheless, children with an ALT-positive neuroblastoma have dismal outcome

Implementation of paediatric precision oncology into clinical practice: The Individualized Therapies for Children with cancer program ‘iTHER’

iTHER is a Dutch prospective national precision oncology program aiming to define tumour molecular profiles in children and adolescents with primary very high-risk, relapsed, or refractory paediatric tumours. Between April 2017 and April 2021, 302 samples from 253 patients were included. Comprehensive molecular profiling including low-coverage whole genome sequencing (lcWGS), whole exome sequencing (WES), RNA sequencing (RNA-seq), Affymetrix, and/or 850k methylation profiling was successfully performed for 226 samples with at least 20% tumour content. Germline pathogenic variants were identified in 16% of patients (35/219), of which 22 variants were judged causative for a cancer predisposition syndrome. At least one somatic alteration was detected in 204 (90.3%), and 185 (81.9%) were considered druggable, with clinical priority very high (6.1%), high (21.3%), moderate (26.0%), intermediate (36.1%), and borderline (10.5%) priority. iTHER led to revision or refinement of diagnosis in 8 patients (3.5%). Temporal heterogeneity was observed in paired samples of 15 patients, indicating the value of sequential analyses. Of 137 patients with follow-up beyond twelve months, 21 molecularly matched treatments were applied in 19 patients (13.9%), with clinical benefit in few. Most relevant barriers to not applying targeted therapies included poor performance status, as well as limited access to drugs within clinical trial. iTHER demonstrates the feasibility of comprehensive molecular profiling across all ages, tumour types and stages in paediatric cancers, informing of diagnostic, prognostic, and targetable alterations as well as reportable germline variants. Therefore, WES and RNA-seq is nowadays standard clinical care at the Princess Máxima Center for all children with cancer, including patients at primary diagnosis. Improved access to innovative treatments within biology-driven combination trials is required to ultimately improve survival
