    Get PDF
    Die vorliegende Arbeit mit dem Titel „Goebbels’ Wortgewalt: Der Klang der Vernichtung“ verfolgt das Ziel, die Sprache im Nationalsozialismus mit Hilfe einer ideologiekritischen Analyse der Linzer Rede vom 15. März 1942 des nationalsozialistischen Propagandaministers zur Darstellung zu bringen, um einerseits dem Verhältnis zwischen Ideologie und Sprache nachzugehen, andererseits um die Fragen einer Beantwortung zuzuführen, wie, warum und bis zu welchem Grade der nazistische Jargon funktionierte. Dies geschieht nicht zuletzt in aufklärerischer Absicht. So wird versucht zu zeigen, was ideologischen Sprachgebrauch ausmacht und worin er seine Begrenzung findet. Darin liegt die politikwissenschaftliche Relevanz sowie ihre politische Tragweite begründet. Im ersten Abschnitt der Arbeit werden die theoretischen Grundlagen gelegt, gilt es doch zunächst zu klären, was allgemein unter Ideologie zu verstehen ist und wie ihre nazistische Spielart aussah, selbst wenn sich das diesem Wahn geschuldete Ungeheuerliche nur schwer in Worte fassen lässt. Dabei wird auch die Frage gestreift bzw. aufgeworfen, inwieweit sich die nationalsozialistische „Weltanschauung“ von herkömmlichen ideologischen Systemen unterscheidet, ohne sie vollends beantworten zu können, nachdem dies zweifellos eine deutlich ausführlichere Analyse verlangen würde, als im Rahmen eines Exkurses möglich ist. Welche Bewandtnis es wiederum mit Ideologiekritik auf sich hat, darf ebenfalls nicht unerörtert bleiben. Mit Hilfe der Kritischen Theorie soll ihre Bedeutung herausgearbeitet werden. Im Anschluss daran wird das Hauptaugenmerk auf die Sprache selbst gelegt. Neben ihrem Bezug zur Welt – einer Frage, der sich zu stellen, in diesem Zusammenhang als unvermeidlich erscheint – wird die sprachkritische Forschungsrichtung sowie deren Vorgeschichte kurz vorgestellt. Abschließend gilt es noch, die inhaltsanalytische Methode darzulegen, so wie sie schlussendlich im Zuge der Untersuchung zur Anwendung kommen wird. Der zweite Teil wendet sich dem geschichtlichen Hintergrund und der Person Joseph Goebbels zu, um seinen Lebensweg von 1897 bis 1945 nachzuzeichnen. Eingangs wird vor allem der Entstehung seines autoritären Charakters, der sich dank psychoanalytischer Einsichten demaskieren lässt, Aufmerksamkeit geschenkt, nachher der Politisierung, später seiner Rolle im NS-Regime. Die biographische Abhandlung soll Anhaltspunkte für die in der Rede enthaltenen Inhalte liefern. Im dritten und letzten Teil wird Goebbels’ Rede in Linz vom 15. März 1942 einer qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse unterzogen, um sich gemäß der Fragestellung dieser Arbeit anzusehen, welche Ideologien darin aufscheinen und wie, mit welchen sprachlichen Mitteln, diese transportiert werden

    Biofortification and subcellular localization of minerals in faba bean as influenced by Mg foliar application

    Foliar application of Mg is a measure for the correction of Mg deficiency in crop plants. Foliar applied nutrients need to access the symplastic side where majority of physiological processes take place. To achieve an adequate uptake of the Mg ions through the leaf surface, high concentrations of of 100-200 mM MgSO4 are usually supplied. This can cause antagonistic perturbations on the subcellular distribution of Caand K cations. To test for such unintended side effects, we used the infiltration-centrifugation method to extract ions from the apoplastic and symplastic side of Vicia faba leaves and quantified concentrations of Mg, Ca and K in dependency to the dose of the foliar fertilized Mg. Results show that a large fraction of Mg accesses the symplast whereas the apoplastic fraction shows a concomitant increase. Symplastic and apoplastic K and Ca relations were only affected under conditions of high exogenous leaf supply of Mg (200 mM) but did not change upon moderate Mg supply (50; 100 mM). Overall, results reveal the suitability of leaf fertilization to biofortify plant-based products with magnesium. With respect to human nutrition, care must be taken that K and Ca do not become impoverished based on antagonistic effects

    The Hematopoietic System–specific Minor Histocompatibility Antigen HA-1 Shows Aberrant Expression in Epithelial Cancer Cells

    Allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT) can induce curative graft-versus-tumor reactions in patients with hematological malignancies and solid tumors. The graft-versus-tumor reaction after human histocompatibility leukocyte antigen (HLA)-identical SCT is mediated by alloimmune donor T cells specific for polymorphic minor histocompatibility antigens (mHags). Among these, the mHag HA-1 was found to be restricted to the hematopoietic system. Here, we report on the HA-1 ribonucleic acid expression by microdissected carcinoma tissues and by single disseminated tumor cells isolated from patients with various epithelial tumors. The HA-1 peptide is molecularly defined, as it forms an immunogenic peptide ligand with HLA-A2 on the cell membrane of carcinoma cell lines. HA-1–specific cytotoxic T cells lyse epithelial tumor cell lines in vitro, whereas normal epithelial cells are not recognized. Thus, HA-1–specific immunotherapy combined with HLA-identical allogeneic SCT may now be feasible for patients with HA-1+ carcinomas

    Softsensors: key component of property control in forming technology

    The constantly increasing challenges of production technology for the economic and resource-saving production of metallic workpieces require, among other things, the optimisation of existing processes. Forming technology, which is confronted with new challenges regarding the quality of the workpieces, must also organise the individual processes more efficiently and at the same time more reliably in order to be able to guarantee good workpiece quality and at the same time to be able to produce economically. One way to meet these challenges is to carry out the forming processes in closed-loop control systems using softsensors. Despite the many potential applications of softsensors in the field of forming technology, there is still no definition of the term softsensor. This publication therefore proposes a definition of the softsensor based on the definition of a sensor and the distinction from the observer, which on the one hand is intended to stimulate scientific discourse and on the other hand is also intended to form the basis for further scientific work. Based on this definition, a wide variety of highly topical application examples of various softsensors in the field of forming technology are given

    New insights into the prevalence of depressive symptoms and depression in rheumatoid arthritis – Implications from the prospective multicenter VADERA II study

    Objectives To investigate the prevalence of depressive symptoms in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients using two previously validated questionnaires in a large patient sample, and to evaluate depressive symptoms in the context of clinical characteristics (e.g. remission of disease) and patient-reported impact of disease. Methods In this cross-sectional study, the previously validated Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) and Beck-Depression Inventory II (BDI-II) were used to assess the extent of depressive symptoms in RA patients. Demographic background, RA disease activity score (DAS28), RA impact of disease (RAID) score, comorbidities, anti-rheumatic therapy and antidepressive treatment, were recorded. Cut-off values for depressive symptomatology were PHQ-9 ≥5 or BDI-II ≥14 for mild depressive symptoms or worse and PHQ-9 ≥ 10 or BDI-II ≥ 20 for moderate depressive symptoms or worse. Prevalence of depressive symptomatology was derived by frequency analysis while factors independently associated with depressive symptomatology were investigated by using multiple logistic regression analyses. Ethics committee approval was obtained, and all patients provided written informed consent before participation. Results In 1004 RA-patients (75.1% female, mean±SD age: 61.0±12.9 years, mean disease duration: 12.2±9.9 years, DAS28 (ESR): 2.5±1.2), the prevalence of depressive symptoms was 55.4% (mild or worse) and 22.8% (moderate or worse). Characteristics independently associated with depressive symptomatology were: age 2 (OR = 10.54) and presence of chronic pain (OR = 3.25). Of patients classified as having depressive symptoms, only 11.7% were receiving anti-depressive therapy. Conclusions Mild and moderate depressive symptoms were common in RA patients according to validated tools. In routine clinical practice, screening for depression with corresponding follow-up procedures is as relevant as incorporating these results with patient-reported outcomes (e.g. symptom state), because the mere assessment of clinical disease activity does not sufficiently reflect the prevalence of depressive symptoms. Clinical trial registration number This study is registered in the Deutsches Register Klinischer Studien (DRKS00003231) and ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT02485483)

    Mineral quantification of a Jordan Cretaceous outcrop (Section GM3, Ghawr Al Mazar, Ghor al Mazrar)

    Cyclic fluctuations in global sea level during epochs of warm greenhouse climate have remained enigmatic, because absence or subordinate presence of polar ice during these periods precludes an explanation by glacio-eustatic forcing. An alternative concept suggests that the water-bearing potential of groundwater aquifers is equal to that of ice caps and that changes in the dynamic balance of aquifer charge versus discharge, as a function of the temperature-related intensity of the hydrological cycle, may have driven eustasy during warm climates. However, this idea has long been neglected for two reasons: 1) the large storage potential of subsurface aquifers was confused with the much smaller capacity of rivers and lakes and 2) empirical data were missing that document past variations in the hydrological cycle in relation to eustasy. In the present study we present the first empirical evidence for changes in precipitation, continental weathering intensity and evaporation that correlate with astronomically (long obliquity) forced sea-level cycles during the warmest period of the Cretaceous (Cenomanian-Turonian). We compare sequence-stratigraphic data with changes in the terrigenous mineral assemblage in a low-latitude marine sedimentary sequence from the equatorial humid belt at the South-Tethyan margin (Levant carbonate platform, Jordan), thereby avoiding uncertainties from land-ocean correlations. Our data indicate covariance between cycles in weathering and sea level: predominantly chemical weathering under wet climate conditions is reflected by dominance of weathering products (clays) in deposits that represent sea-level fall (aquifer charge > discharge). Conversely, preservation of weathering-sensitive minerals (feldspars, epidote and pyroxenes) in transgressive sediments reflects decreased continental weathering due to dryer climate (aquifer discharge > charge). Based on our results we suggest that aquifer-eustasy represents a viable alternative to glacio-eustasy as a driver of cyclic 3rd-order sea-level fluctuations during the middle Cretaceous greenhouse climate, and it may have been a pervasive process throughout Earth history
