Im Zentrum der Dissertation steht die höfische Tierhaltung in der ehemaligen Residenzstadt Kassel. Die Auswertung der Archivquellen stellt ein kontinuierliches Bild des Aufkommens exotischer Tiere vom 15. bis ins 18. Jahrhundert dar. Der Fokus richtet sich auf die barocke Menagerie des Landgrafen Karl von Hessen-Kassel (ca. 1680 - 1730), die mit ihrem systematisch aufgebauten und umfangreichen Tierbestand die Einrichtungen seiner Vorgänger weit übertraf. Die Sammlung lebender Raritäten aus allen Regionen der Welt diente der absolutistischen Selbstdarstellung und der Visualisierung des Herrschaftsstatus. Die Untersuchung der zeitgenössischen Reiseberichte zeigt, dass die Menagerietiere vom Betrachter ebenso als kuriose und/oder rare Sehenswürdigkeiten empfunden wurden wie die musealen Ausstellungsstücke einer Kunstkammer. Da sie als lebende Schauobjekte Staunen auslösten, müssen sie mit der „frühneuzeitlichen Neugierde“ (curiositas) in Verbindung gebracht werden und bildeten einen wesentlichen Bestandteil des imaginären Welttheaters „Macrocosmos in Microcosmo“. Gerade hier kann die Dissertation eine enge Verbindung zwischen Menagerie und Kunstkammer belegen, die in der Forschungsliteratur bisher kaum thematisiert wurde. Die Tiersammlung bildete einen räumlich separierten Teil der Sammlungen des kunstsinnigen und naturwissenschaftlich interessierten Fürsten, die ansonsten im Kunsthaus untergebracht waren. Der Menagerie kam die gleiche reichspolitisch repräsentative Bedeutung zu, welche auch die begehbare Sammlung inne hatte. Die von 1764 bis 1785 bestehende Menagerie seines Enkelsohnes, Friedrich II., folgte dagegen anderen Zielsetzungen. Sie ist in Zusammenhang mit pädagogischen und kulturellen Bemühungen seiner Regierung im Sinne des aufgeklärten Absolutismus zu sehen. Ein weiterer Teil der Untersuchung widmet sich dem Kasseler „Tierstück“ von Johann Melchior Roos („Die Menagerie des Landgrafen Carl“, 1722-1728, mhk). Die kunsthistorische Analyse ordnet das Gemälde in die Tradition der niederländischen Sammelbilder des 17. Jahrhunderts ein. Der Maler bedient sich traditioneller Paradiesdarstellungen, welche die Utopie von der friedlichen Koexistenz aller Lebewesen zum Thema haben. Ebenso steht das Kasseler „Tierstück“ als Sammelbild wertvoller gemalter Raritäten den naturhistorisch-enzyklopädischen Stillleben nahe, die bevorzugt Muscheln und Blumenbuketts zeigen. Die Präsentation des Gemäldes als Bestandteil der enzyklopädisch gedachten Naturaliensammlung im „Kunsthaus“ (Ottoneum) ordnet es von Beginn an der begehbaren höfischen Welt zu. Dabei wird die zeitgenössische Wahrnehmung des „Tierstücks“ als kurioses Kunstwerk herausgearbeitet, dem im Ensemble von Naturalia und Artificialia ein universalistisches Bildprogramm zukam. Die Authentizität der im Gemälde dargestellten Tiersammlung lässt sich nicht bestätigen. Der Maler hat mit seiner fiktiven Bildkompilation einen idealen Zustand erzeugt. Als typisches Sammlungsbild ist es eher als Metonymie der Sammlung wahrzunehmen, das seinen Verweiszusammenhang innerhalb der als Mikrokosmos organisierten Sammlung entfalten konnte.

Die neotropisch verbreitete Unterfamilie der Pitcairnioideae (Bromeliaceae) besteht aus den Gattungen Dyckia, Deuterocohnia, Encholirium, Fosterella und Pitcairnia. Viele der mehr als 630 Arten dieser Unterfamilie weisen eine beträchtliche morphologische Plastizität auf, was oftmals eine sichere Artbestimmung erschwert. Um den Genfluss zwischen benachbarten Populationen bzw. nah verwandten Arten ermitteln zu können und somit mögliche Hinweise auf Artbildungsprozesse und Artabgrenzung zu erhalten, sind hochsensitive molekulare Marker erforderlich. Die vorliegende Dissertation beschäftigt sich schwerpunktmäßig mit der Entwicklung von Mikrosatellitenmarkern sowie ihre beispielhafte Anwendung für populationsgenetische Fragestellungen innerhalb der Pitcairnioideae. Als Quelle für diese Marker diente zum einen eine öffentliche ’expressed sequence tag’ (EST)-Datenbank von Ananas comosus, zum anderen wurden die drei Bromelienarten Fosterella rusbyi, Dyckia marnier-lapostollei und Deuterocohnia longipetala mittels der 454-Technik partiell sequenziert. Beide Ansätze lieferten insgesamt 164.137 Rohsequenzen, auf deren Basis einige tausend perfekte Mikrosatelliten identifiziert und zahlreiche flankierende PCR-Primerpaare sowohl für das Kern- als auch das Chloroplastengenom abgeleitet wurden. Nach umfangreichen Funktionalitätstests mit Fokus auf interspezifischer Übertragbarkeit sowie intraspezifischer Variabilität der Mikrosatellitenloci in der jeweiligen Zielart wurden schließlich 48 nukleäre und sieben plastidäre Mikrosatellitenmarker etabliert. Das Potenzial der nukleären Mikrosatellitenmarker zur Abgrenzung nah verwandter und morphologisch sehr ähnlicher Arten innerhalb der Pitcairnioideae wurde zum einen in den im Nordosten Brasiliens verbreiteten Arten Dyckia pernambucana, Dy. limae, Dy. dissitiflora und Dy. macedoi durch die Genotypisierung von insgesamt 89 Individuen von neun natürlichen Standorten überprüft. Hierbei konnte basierend auf den Alleldaten an 15 nukleären 454-Mikrosatellitenloci eindeutig zwischen dem Artenkomplex ’Dy. limae/Dy. pernambucana’ auf der einen Seite und Dy. dissitiflora bzw. Dy. macedoi auf der anderen Seite unterschieden werden, eine Abtrennung der Arten Dy. limae und Dy. pernambucana war hingegen mit keiner der verwendeten Auswertemethoden möglich, was darauf hindeutet, dass es sich hierbei nicht um getrennte Arten handelt. Zum anderen wurden 190 Individuen von 28 natürlichen Standorten der in Bolivien bzw. Zentralamerika heimischen und morphologisch sehr ähnlichen Arten Fosterella christophii, F. villosula und F. micrantha untersucht. Unter Verwendung von je vier nukleären EST- und 454-Mikrosatellitenmarkern und verschiedenen Clusteranalysen konnten zwei genetisch voneinander getrennte und geographisch determinierte Gruppen definiert werden. Dabei umfasste die größere der beiden Gruppen alle drei Arten, deren Siedlungsbereich neben einem Areal in den bolivianischen Departamentos Beni, La Paz und Cochabamba auch das gesamte Verbreitungsgebiet von F. micrantha in Zentralamerika beinhaltete. Die zweite, kleinere Gruppe enthielt nur Populationen von F. christophii und F. villosula und war auf eine relativ kleine Region im bolivianischen Departamento Santa Cruz beschränkt. Innerhalb von Bolivien liegt dieser Verteilung möglicherweise eine genetische Barriere im Bereich des Andenknicks zugrunde, infolge welcher alle Populationen südlich und nördlich dieser Region weitgehend unabhängig von ihrer Artzugehörigkeit gruppieren. Eine klare Trennung der drei Arten war nicht möglich, sodass davon ausgegangen werden kann, dass der Artbildungsprozess innerhalb der sog. ’micrantha-Gruppe’ noch keineswegs abgeschlossen ist. In einem dritten Ansatz wurden 15 nukleäre und sieben plastidäre Mikrosatellitenmarker zur Genotypisierung von 253 Individuen aus 30 natürlichen Populationen von Fosterella rusbyi eingesetzt. Damit sollte die Verteilung der genetischen Diversität und der Genfluss zwischen den Populationen dieser in den bolivianischen Anden inselartig verbreiteten Art untersucht werden. Die einzelnen Populationen erwiesen sich als genetisch deutlich voneinander differenziert, wobei nahezu jede Population durch eine individuelle Kombination von Genotypen charakterisiert war. Auf Ebene der Populationen wurde weiterhin ein deutliches Heterozygoten-Defizit über nahezu alle Loci ermittelt, was am ehesten durch Faktoren wie Inzucht und Selbstbestäubung in Kombination mit einer Tendenz zu klonalem Wachstum erklärt werden kann. Mögliche Gründe für den eingeschränkten Genfluss zwischen den Populationen werden diskutiert.

Summary - Cooking banana is one of the most important crops in Uganda; it is a staple food and source of household income in rural areas. The most common cooking banana is locally called matooke, a Musa sp triploid acuminate genome group (AAA-EAHB). It is perishable and traded in fresh form leading to very high postharvest losses (22-45%). This is attributed to: non-uniform level of harvest maturity, poor handling, bulk transportation and lack of value addition/processing technologies, which are currently the main challenges for trade and export, and diversified utilization of matooke. Drying is one of the oldest technologies employed in processing of agricultural produce. A lot of research has been carried out on drying of fruits and vegetables, but little information is available on matooke. Drying of matooke and milling it to flour extends its shelf-life is an important means to overcome the above challenges. Raw matooke flour is a generic flour developed to improve shelf stability of the fruit and to find alternative uses. It is rich in starch (80 - 85%db) and subsequently has a high potential as a calorie resource base. It possesses good properties for both food and non-food industrial use. Some effort has been done to commercialize the processing of matooke but there is still limited information on its processing into flour. It was imperative to carry out an in-depth study to bridge the following gaps: lack of accurate information on the maturity window within which matooke for processing into flour can be harvested leading to non-uniform quality of matooke flour; there is no information on moisture sorption isotherm for matooke from which the minimum equilibrium moisture content in relation to temperature and relative humidity is obtainable, below which the dry matooke would be microbiologically shelf-stable; and lack of information on drying behavior of matooke and standardized processing parameters for matooke in relation to physicochemical properties of the flour. The main objective of the study was to establish the optimum harvest maturity window and optimize the processing parameters for obtaining standardized microbiologically shelf-stable matooke flour with good starch quality attributes. This research was designed to: i) establish the optimum maturity harvest window within which matooke can be harvested to produce a consistent quality of matooke flour, ii) establish the sorption isotherms for matooke, iii) establish the effect of process parameters on drying characteristics of matooke, iv) optimize the drying process parameters for matooke, v) validate the models of maturity and optimum process parameters and vi) standardize process parameters for commercial processing of matooke. Samples were obtained from a banana plantation at Presidential Initiative on Banana Industrial Development (PIBID), Technology Business Incubation Center (TBI) at Nyaruzunga – Bushenyi in Western Uganda. A completely randomized design (CRD) was employed in selecting the banana stools from which samples for the experiments were picked. The cultivar Mbwazirume which is soft cooking and commonly grown in Bushenyi was selected for the study. The static gravitation method recommended by COST 90 Project (Wolf et al., 1985), was used for determination of moisture sorption isotherms. A research dryer developed for this research. All experiments were carried out in laboratories at TBI. The physiological maturity of matooke cv. mbwazirume at Bushenyi is 21 weeks. The optimum harvest maturity window for commercial processing of matooke flour (Raw Tooke Flour - RTF) at Bushenyi is between 15-21 weeks. The finger weight model is recommended for farmers to estimate harvest maturity for matooke and the combined model of finger weight and pulp peel ratio is recommended for commercial processors. Matooke isotherms exhibited type II curve behavior which is characteristic of foodstuffs. The GAB model best described all the adsorption and desorption moisture isotherms. For commercial processing of matooke, in order to obtain a microbiologically shelf-stable dry product. It is recommended to dry it to moisture content below or equal to 10% (wb). The hysteresis phenomenon was exhibited by the moisture sorption isotherms for matooke. The isoteric heat of sorption for both adsorptions and desorption isotherms increased with decreased moisture content. The total isosteric heat of sorption for matooke: adsorption isotherm ranged from 4,586 – 2,386 kJ/kg and desorption isotherm from 18,194– 2,391 kJ/kg for equilibrium moisture content from 0.3 – 0.01 (db) respectively. The minimum energy required for drying matooke from 80 – 10% (wb) is 8,124 kJ/kg of water removed. Implying that the minimum energy required for drying of 1 kg of fresh matooke from 80 - 10% (wb) is 5,793 kJ. The drying of matooke takes place in three steps: the warm-up and the two falling rate periods. The drying rate constant for all processing parameters ranged from 5,793 kJ and effective diffusivity ranged from 1.5E-10 - 8.27E-10 m2/s. The activation energy (Ea) for matooke was 16.3kJ/mol (1,605 kJ/kg). Comparing the activation energy (Ea) with the net isosteric heat of sorption for desorption isotherm (qst) (1,297.62) at 0.1 (kg water/kg dry matter), indicated that Ea was higher than qst suggesting that moisture molecules travel in liquid form in matooke slices. The total color difference (ΔE*) between the fresh and dry samples, was lowest for effect of thickness of 7 mm, followed by air velocity of 6 m/s, and then drying air temperature at 70˚C. The drying system controlled by set surface product temperature, reduced the drying time by 50% compared to that of a drying system controlled by set air drying temperature. The processing parameters did not have a significant effect on physicochemical and quality attributes, suggesting that any drying air temperature can be used in the initial stages of drying as long as the product temperature does not exceed gelatinization temperature of matooke (72˚C). The optimum processing parameters for single-layer drying of matooke are: thickness = 3 mm, air temperatures 70˚C, dew point temperature 18˚C and air velocity 6 m/s overflow mode. From practical point of view it is recommended that for commercial processing of matooke, to employ multi-layer drying of loading capacity equal or less than 7 kg/m², thickness 3 mm, air temperatures 70˚C, dew point temperature 18˚C and air velocity 6 m/s overflow mode.

In the process of urbanization, natural and semi-natural landscapes are increasingly cherished as open space and recreational resource. Urban rivers are part of this kind of resource and thus play an important role in managing urban resilience and health. Employing the example of Tianjin, this doctoral dissertation research aims at learning to understand how to plan and design for the interface zones between urban water courses and for the land areas adjacent to such water courses. This research also aims at learning how to link waterfront space with other urban space in order to make a recreational space system for the benefit of people. Five questions of this dissertation are: 1) what is the role of rivers in spatial and open space planning? 2) What are the human needs regarding outdoor open space? 3) How do river and water front spatial structures affect people's recreational activities? 4) How to define the recreational service of urban river and waterfront open space? 5) How might answering these question change planning and design of urban open space? Quantitative and qualitative empirical approaches were combined in this study for which literature review and theoretical explorations provide the basis. Empirical investigations were conducted in the city of Tianjin. The quantitative approach includes conducting 267 quantitative interviews, and the qualitative approach includes carrying out field observations and mappings. GIS served to support analysis and visualization of empirical information that was generated through this study. By responding to the five research questions, findings and lessons include the following: 1) In the course of time rivers have gained importance in all levels and scales of spatial planning and decision making. Regarding the development of ecological networks, mainly at national scale, rivers are considered significant linear elements. Regarding regional and comprehensive development, river basins and watersheds are often considered as the structural link for strategic ecological, economic, social and recreational planning. For purposes of urban planning, particularly regarding recreational services in cities, the distribution of urban open spaces often follows the structure of river systems. 2) For the purpose of classifying human recreational needs that relate to outdoor open space Maslow's hierarchy of human needs serves as theoretical basis. The classes include geographical, safety, physiological, social and aesthetic need. These classes serve as references while analyzing river and waterfront open space and other kinds of open space. 3) Regarding the question how river and waterfront spatial structures might affect people's recreational activities, eight different landscape units were identified and compared in the case study area. Considering the thermal conditions of Tianjin, one of these landscape units was identified as affording the optimal spatial arrangement which mostly meets recreational needs. The size and the shape of open space, and the plants present in an open space have been observed as being most relevant regarding recreational activities. 4) Regarding the recreational service of urban river and waterfront open space the results of this research suggest that the recreational service is felt less intensively as the distances between water 183 front and open space user’s places of residence are increasing. As a method for estimating this ‘Service Distance Effect’ the following formula may be used: Y = a*ebx. In this equation Y means the ‘Service Distance’ between homes and open space, and X means the percentage of the people who live within this service distance. Coefficient "a" represents the distance of the residential area nearest to the water front. The coefficient "b" is a comprehensive capability index that refers to the size of the available and suitable recreational area. 5) Answers found to the questions above have implications for the planning and design of urban open space. The results from the quantitative study of recreational services of waterfront open space were applied to the assessment of river-based open space systems. It is recommended that such assessments might be done employing the network analysis function available with any GIS. In addition, several practical planning and designing suggestions are made that would help remedy any insufficient base for satisfying recreational needs. The understanding of recreational need is considered helpful for the proposing planning and designing ideas and for the changing of urban landscapes. In the course of time Tianjin's urban water system has shrunk considerably. At the same time rivers and water courses have shaped Tianjin's urban structure in noticeable ways. In the process of urbanization water has become increasingly important to the citizens and their everyday recreations. Much needs to be changed in order to improve recreational opportunities and to better provide for a livable city, most importantly when considering the increasing number of old people. Suggestions made that are based on results of this study, might be implemented in Tianjin. They are 1) to promote the quality of the waterfront open space and to make all linear waterfront area accessible recreational spaces. Then, 2), it is advisable to advocate the concept of green streets and to combine green streets with river open space in order to form an everyday recreational network. And 3) any sound urban everyday recreational service made cannot rely on only urban rivers; the whole urban structure needs to be improved, including adding small open space and optimize the form of urban communities, finally producing a multi-functional urban recreational network.

In der psycholinguistischen Forschung ist die Annahme weitverbreitet, dass die Bewertung von Informationen hinsichtlich ihres Wahrheitsgehaltes oder ihrer Plausibilität (epistemische Validierung; Richter, Schroeder & Wöhrmann, 2009) ein strategischer, optionaler und dem Verstehen nachgeschalteter Prozess ist (z.B. Gilbert, 1991; Gilbert, Krull & Malone, 1990; Gilbert, Tafarodi & Malone, 1993; Herbert & Kübler, 2011). Eine zunehmende Anzahl an Studien stellt dieses Zwei-Stufen-Modell von Verstehen und Validieren jedoch direkt oder indirekt in Frage. Insbesondere Befunde zu Stroop-artigen Stimulus-Antwort-Kompatibilitätseffekten, die auftreten, wenn positive und negative Antworten orthogonal zum aufgaben-irrelevanten Wahrheitsgehalt von Sätzen abgegeben werden müssen (z.B. eine positive Antwort nach dem Lesen eines falschen Satzes oder eine negative Antwort nach dem Lesen eines wahren Satzes; epistemischer Stroop-Effekt, Richter et al., 2009), sprechen dafür, dass Leser/innen schon beim Verstehen eine nicht-strategische Überprüfung der Validität von Informationen vornehmen. Ausgehend von diesen Befunden war das Ziel dieser Dissertation eine weiterführende Überprüfung der Annahme, dass Verstehen einen nicht-strategischen, routinisierten, wissensbasierten Validierungsprozesses (epistemisches Monitoring; Richter et al., 2009) beinhaltet. Zu diesem Zweck wurden drei empirische Studien mit unterschiedlichen Schwerpunkten durchgeführt. Studie 1 diente der Untersuchung der Fragestellung, ob sich Belege für epistemisches Monitoring auch bei Informationen finden lassen, die nicht eindeutig wahr oder falsch, sondern lediglich mehr oder weniger plausibel sind. Mithilfe des epistemischen Stroop-Paradigmas von Richter et al. (2009) konnte ein Kompatibilitätseffekt von aufgaben-irrelevanter Plausibilität auf die Latenzen positiver und negativer Antworten in zwei unterschiedlichen experimentellen Aufgaben nachgewiesen werden, welcher dafür spricht, dass epistemisches Monitoring auch graduelle Unterschiede in der Übereinstimmung von Informationen mit dem Weltwissen berücksichtigt. Darüber hinaus belegen die Ergebnisse, dass der epistemische Stroop-Effekt tatsächlich auf Plausibilität und nicht etwa auf der unterschiedlichen Vorhersagbarkeit von plausiblen und unplausiblen Informationen beruht. Das Ziel von Studie 2 war die Prüfung der Hypothese, dass epistemisches Monitoring keinen evaluativen Mindset erfordert. Im Gegensatz zu den Befunden anderer Autoren (Wiswede, Koranyi, Müller, Langner, & Rothermund, 2013) zeigte sich in dieser Studie ein Kompatibilitätseffekt des aufgaben-irrelevanten Wahrheitsgehaltes auf die Antwortlatenzen in einer vollständig nicht-evaluativen Aufgabe. Die Ergebnisse legen nahe, dass epistemisches Monitoring nicht von einem evaluativen Mindset, möglicherweise aber von der Tiefe der Verarbeitung abhängig ist. Studie 3 beleuchtete das Verhältnis von Verstehen und Validieren anhand einer Untersuchung der Online-Effekte von Plausibilität und Vorhersagbarkeit auf Augenbewegungen beim Lesen kurzer Texte. Zusätzlich wurde die potentielle Modulierung dieser Effeke durch epistemische Marker, die die Sicherheit von Informationen anzeigen (z.B. sicherlich oder vielleicht), untersucht. Entsprechend der Annahme eines schnellen und nicht-strategischen epistemischen Monitoring-Prozesses zeigten sich interaktive Effekte von Plausibilität und dem Vorhandensein epistemischer Marker auf Indikatoren früher Verstehensprozesse. Dies spricht dafür, dass die kommunizierte Sicherheit von Informationen durch den Monitoring-Prozess berücksichtigt wird. Insgesamt sprechen die Befunde gegen eine Konzeptualisierung von Verstehen und Validieren als nicht-überlappenden Stufen der Informationsverarbeitung. Vielmehr scheint eine Bewertung des Wahrheitsgehalts oder der Plausibilität basierend auf dem Weltwissen – zumindest in gewissem Ausmaß – eine obligatorische und nicht-strategische Komponente des Sprachverstehens zu sein. Die Bedeutung der Befunde für aktuelle Modelle des Sprachverstehens und Empfehlungen für die weiterführende Forschung zum Vehältnis von Verstehen und Validieren werden aufgezeigt.

The article looks at three antifascist films from the 1980s by the East German film company DEFA: Jürgen Brauer's Pugowitza (1981), Egon Schlegel's Die Schüsse der Arche Noah (1983), and Helmut Dziuba's Jan auf der Zille (1986), which during this final decade of the East German state re-examine an ideologically seminal constellation of the GDR's official antifascism – the relationship between antifascist father and son. Linking generational and political succession, the father-son relationship helped to legitimise the GDR as a state in which the young continued the antifascist fight of the old communists against the Nazi dictatorship. From the 1950s on, DEFA films contributed to the visualisation of this relationship, codifying it not only as heroic but also as ‘natural’: the assumed innocence of the communist son was meant to naturalise the father's antifascist/communist cause. The 1980s saw this naturalised political succession questioned. By re-telling the canonised father-son story, the three films visualise the generational antifascist contract as flawed. Re-deploying the son's assumed innocence in a critique of the father, they explore new endings to the antifascist story and revive the discussion of categories like ‘victim’ and ‘perpetrator’.// Der Aufsatz untersucht drei antifaschistische Filme der ostdeutschen Filmgesellschaft DEFA aus den 1980er Jahren: Jürgen Brauers Pugowitza (1981), Egon Schlegels Die Schüsse der Arche Noah (1983) und Helmut Dziubas Jan auf der Zille (1986). Alle drei Filme wurden im letzten Jahrzehnt der DDR gedreht und greifen eine ideologisch tragende Konstellation des offiziellen DDR-Antifaschismus auf – die Beziehung zwischen antifaschistischem Vater und Sohn. In der Vater-Sohn-Beziehung verband sich Generationenabfolge mit politischer Nachkommenschaft, eine Verbindung, die half, die DDR als einen Staat zu legitimieren, in dem die Jungen den antifaschistischen Kampf der alten Kommunisten gegen die Nazi-Diktatur weiterführten. Seit den 1950er Jahren beteiligte sich die DEFA an der Visuali-sierung dieser Beziehung und kodifizierte sie nicht nur als heldenhaft, sondern auch als ‘natürlich’: die behauptete Unschuld der kommunistschen Söhne diente dazu, den antifaschistisch-kommunistischen Kampf der Väter zu naturalisieren. Die solcher Art politisch interpretierte Generationenabfolge verlor ihre Natürlichkeit, als sie in den 1980er Jahren kritisch befragt wurde. Im nochmaligen Erzählen der kanonisierten Vater-Sohn-Geschichte wird die Brüchigkeit des antifaschistischen Gesellschaftsvertrags in allen drei Filmen sichtbar. Die vermeintliche Unschuld der Söhne wird nun zu einer Kritik der Väter genutzt, wobei die Filme ein neues Ende für die antifaschistische Geschichte erkunden und die Debatte über Kategorien wie ‘Opfer’ und ‘Täter’ wieder aufnehmen.

This study compared splinted and non-splinted implant-supported prosthesis with and without a distal proximal contact using a digital image correlation method. An epoxy resin model was made with acrylic resin replicas of a mandibular first premolar and second molar and with threaded implants replacing the second premolar and first molar. Splinted and non-splinted metal-ceramic screw-retained crowns were fabricated and loaded with and without the presence of the second molar. A single-camera measuring system was used to record the in-plane deformation on the model surface at a frequency of 1.0 Hz under a load from 0 to 250 N. The images were then analyzed with specialist software to determine the direct (horizontal) and shear strains along the model. Not splinting the crowns resulted in higher stress transfer to the supporting implants when the second molar replica was absent. The presence of a second molar and an effective interproximal contact contributed to lower stress transfer to the supporting structures even for non-splinted restorations. Shear strains were higher in the region between the molars when the second molar was absent, regardless of splinting. The opposite was found for the region between the implants, which had higher shear strain values when the second molar was present. When an effective distal contact is absent, non-splinted implant-supported restorations introduce higher direct strains to the supporting structures under loading. Shear strains appear to be dependent also on the region within the model, with different regions showing different trends in strain changes in the absence of an effective distal contact.

Aim To evaluate the influence of resorbable membranes on hard tissue alterations and osseointegration at implants placed into extraction sockets in a dog model. Material and methods In the mandibular premolar region, implants were installed immediately into the extraction sockets of six Labrador dogs. Collagen-resorbable membranes were placed at the test sites, while the control sites were left uncovered. Implants were intended to heal in a submerged mode. After 4 months of healing, the animals were sacrificed, and ground sections were obtained for histomorphometric evaluation. Results After 4 months of healing, a control implant was not integrated (n=5). Both at the test and at the control sites, bone resorption occurred. While the most coronal bone-to-implant contact was similar between the test and the control sites, the alveolar bone crest outline was maintained to a higher degree at the buccal aspect of the test sites (loss: 1.7 mm) compared with the control sites (loss: 2.2 mm). Conclusions The use of collagen-resorbable membranes at implants immediately placed into extraction sockets contributed to a partial (23%) preservation of the buccal outline of the alveolar process.

Aim To study osseointegration and bone-level changes at implants installed using either a standard or a reduced diameter bur for implant bed preparation. Material and methods In six Labrador dogs, the first and second premolars were extracted bilaterally. Subsequently, mesial roots of the first molars were endodontically treated and distal roots, including the corresponding part of the crown, were extracted. After 3 months of healing, flaps were elevated and recipient sites were prepared in all experimental sites. The control site was prepared using a standard procedure, while the test site was prepared using a drill with a 0.2 mm reduced diameter than the standard one used in the contra-lateral side. After 4 months of healing, the animals were euthanized and biopsies were obtained for histological processing and evaluation. Results With the exception of one implant that was lost, all implants were integrated in mineralized bone. The alveolar crest underwent resorption at control as well as at test sites (buccal aspect similar to 1 mm). The most coronal contact of bone-to-implant was located between 1.2 and 1.6 mm at the test and between 1.3 and 1.7 mm at the control sites. Bone-to-implant contact percentage was between 49% and 67%. No statistically significant differences were found for any of the outcome variables. Conclusions After 4 months of healing, lateral pressure to the implant bed as reflected by higher insertion torques (36 vs. 15 N cm in the premolar and 19 vs. 7 N cm in the molar regions) did not affect the bone-to-implant contact.

Distalization of maxillary molars is indicated for correction of Class II dental malocclusion and for space gain in cases of space deficiency. The ideal treatment with an intraoral fixed appliance for molar distalization should fulfill the following requirements: patient compliance; acceptable esthetics; comfort; minimum anterior anchor loss (as evidenced by inclination of incisors); bodily movement of the molars to avoid undesirable effects and unstable outcomes; and minimum time required during sessions for placement and activations. The purpose of this paper was to present an alternative treatment for space recovery in the area of the maxillary right second premolar when there has been significant mesial movement of the permanent maxillary right first molar. We used a modified appliance that allows unilateral molar distalization in cases of unilateral tooth/arch size discrepancy using the opposite side as anchor, thus reducing the mesialization of the anterior teeth.

Purpose: To evaluate the duration of the effect of mepivacaine when hyaluronidase is injected immediately prior to the end of pulpal anesthesia. Patients and Methods: Forty bilateral, symmetrical third molar surgeries were performed in 20 healthy patients. Inferior alveolar nerve block was induced using 2.8 mL 2% mepivacaine with epinephrine. Hyaluronidase (75 turbidity-reducing units) or a placebo was injected 40 minutes after the beginning of pulpar anesthesia (randomized and double-blind trial). The duration of effect in the pulpal and gingival tissues was evaluated by response to painful electrical stimuli applied to the Adjacent premolar, and by mechanical stimuli (pin prick) to the vestibular gingiva, respectively. Results: in both tissues, the duration of anesthetic effect with hyaluronidase was longer (P <.01) than with the placebo. Conclusion: Hyaluronidase increases the duration of mepivacaine in inferior alveolar nerve blocks. (c) 2008 American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons.

We have investigated if a new LEDs system has enough efficient energy to promote efficient shear and tensile bonding strength resistance under standardized tests. LEDs 470 +/- 10 nm can be used to photocure composite during bracket fixation. Advantages considering resistance to tensile and shear bonding strength when these systems were used are necessary to justify their clinical use. Forty eight human extracted premolars teeth and two light sources were selected, one halogen lamp and a LEDs system. Brackets for premolar were bonded through composite resin. Samples were submitted to standardized tests. A comparison between used sources under shear bonding strength test, obtained similar results; however, tensile bonding test showed distinct results: a statistical difference at a level of 1% between exposure times (40 and 60 seconds) and even to an interaction between light source and exposure time. The best result was obtained with halogen lamp use by 60 seconds, even during re-bonding; however LEDs system can be used for bonding and re-bonding brackets if power density could be increased.

Esta pesquisa teve como proposta avaliar histopatologicamente,os efeitos do tratamento de perfurações radiculares, empregando medicamentos à base de corticóide e antibiótico como curativo, seu posterior preenchimento com uma pasta aquosa de hidróxido de cálcio e iodofórmio e, também, a utilização dessa pasta durante todo o período experimental. Para tanto, foram utilizados os segundos e terceiros pré-molares superiores e os terceiros e quartos inferiores de 6 cães adultos jovens. Nestes dentes, sob isolamento absoluto do campo operatório com dique de borracha, efetuou-se a obturação dos canais radiculares, e após a limpeza da câmara pulpar, procedeu-se a perfuração radicular na raiz mesial para a região interradicular e lateralmente disposta à furca. Como curativo foram utilizados o Rifocort e o Otosporin, que permaneciam por 7 dias no trajeto perfurado e em contato com os tecidos periodontais da região. Passado esse período, o curativo era substituído por uma pasta aquosa de hidróxido de cálcio e iodofórmio e todos os dentes eram radiografados antes e depois da substituição do material. Decorridos 90 dias, os animais foram sacrificados por meio de perfusão e as peças removidas, radiografadas e preparadas para se obter cortes histológicos, os quais foram corados pela hematoxilina e eosina e pelo tricrômico de Masson. Pelos resultados obtidos neste trabalho, é válido concluir que: a) as perfurações seladas imediatamente com a pasta aquosa de hidróxido de cálcio e iodofórmio apresentaram melhores resultados no exame histológico, onde ficaram evidenciadas menor quantidade do processo inflamatório e maior hiper-plasia de cemento; b) não houve diferença significante entre as perfurações tratadas com os medicamentos Rifocort e Otosporin; c) os dentes cujas perfurações permaneceram sem nenhum tratamento durante 7 dias, exibiram uma resposta menos favorável e sem evidência de reparação na área perfurada; d) as imagens radiográficas, no que se refere á extensão de destruição do tecido ósseo alveolar, foram compatfveis com os quadros histológicos, não havendo evidências, porém, da neoformação do tecido cementário.
