DETERMINANTS OF DNA METHYLATION BASED AGE ACCELERATION IN YOUNG AND OLDER TWIN PAIRS
2017
DNA methylation (DNAm) age, a novel marker of biological aging, has been shown to predict mortality and to be associated with physiological aging. However, the relative contribution of genetic and environmental factors to DNAm age over life span is not fully known. We estimated the magnitude of genetic and environmental factors in DNAm based age acceleration.
S2k Guidelines for Cutaneous Basal Cell Carcinoma - Part 1: Epidemiology, Genetics and Diagnosis
2018
Basal cell carcinoma is the most common malignant tumor among fair-skinned individuals, and its incidence has been rising steadily in the past decades. In order to maintain the highest quality of patient care possible, the German S2k guidelines were updated following a systematic literature search and with the participation of all professional societies and associations involved in the management of the disease. Part 1 highlights new developments in genetics in particular as well as aspects regarding epidemiology, diagnosis, and histology.
La presencia de mujeres en la geografía académica: ¿hacia una masculinización de la disciplina?
2004
En 1985 la geografia española parecía ser un caso exitoso en cuanto a la presencia de las mujeres en la academia y de los estudios de género en esta disciplina (GARCIA-RAMON et al., 1988), por el contrario en los últimos años se observa un cambio de tendencia. Desde entonces, los porcentajes de mujeres se han mantenido bastante estables y la ratio hombre:mujer está experimentando un reciente y significativo crecimiento. Los enfoques de género tanto en la docencia como en la investigación en geografía continuan reducidos a una minoría de departamentos. Al contrario de lo que sucede en el mundo anglófono, donde se da un crecimiento del profesorado femenino, la imagen de la geografía española …

2019
The article presents the field of study German in Law and Economy leaded by the Institute of German Philology at the University of Opole. Based on the results of a survey, the paper illustrates students’ and alumni’ views and opinions about the study program. The presented feedback could serve as an instrument of evaluation and as a mean of a creative cooperation between academic centers and the local enterprises. Both of the sectors have an important task: to contribute to a sustainable development of the region.
Finnish and German student teachers’ motivations for choosing teaching as a career. The first application of the FIT-Choice scale in Finland
2019
Abstract This study introduces and validates the Finnish version of the FIT-Choice scale and uses the scale to explore Finnish undergraduate students' motivations for choosing teaching as a career as well as their perceptions of teaching as a profession in comparison to German student teachers. The results replicated the FIT-Choice structure both in Finland and Germany. Sample comparisons revealed that motivations for teaching and perceptions of the teaching profession reflected both differences and similarities between Finland and Germany. The study offers novel information on student teachers’ motivational structure.
Entre el ayer ocupado y el mañana “liberado”. Las consecuencias del período 1940-1944 sobre la policía y la sociedad policial francesas
2021
Aunque breve (1940-1944), el período de la ocupación alemana y el gobierno de Vichy constituye un periodo decisivo tanto para la Policía como para la sociedad “policial” francesas. La estatalización, la centralización, la profesionalización y la militarización que caracterizan a la Policía francesa datan de este momento, junto con la recurrente imagen negativa de las misiones que llevó a cabo, en el contexto de las políticas de exclusión y represión impuestas por el régimen de Pétain y la colaboración instaurada con la ocupación nazi.
Application of the International classification of functioning, disability and health in Taiwan : victory of the medical model
2017
AbstractSince July 2012, eligibility for disability benefits and services in Taiwan has been assessed based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health. This study examines disabled people’s experiences of this new assessment system: does it incorporate the social model or a multidimensional understanding of disability and assess the needs of disabled people adequately? In-depth interviews were employed with 24 disabled persons to answer these questions from the perspective of disabled people. The findings show that the new assessment model is still medicalised: social roles and social participation are not considered, the assessment process is dominated by pro…

AGING IN EUROPE AND GERIATRIC CARE
2017
Europeans are living longer than ever, and this pattern is expected to continue. The increased life expectancy is a remarkable achievement, which however poses obvious challenges for health care and geriatric assistance. There is a progressive increase of older persons living alone and in need of assistance. European countries are handling these challenges with very different approaches. There are countries and regional differences in social policies and sanitary assistance, in providers of care, in quality of the assistance and in lodging costs. The long term care models are also very different (cash benefits, public provision of care services, or hybrid rather than pure models of care). T…
CALPAIN ACTIVITY MAINTAINS GOOD HEALTH OF CENTENARIAN T CELLS; SUMMARY OF THE CALPACENT PROJECT
2017
Causes of aging-associated deterioration of human immunity, and the reasons why the immune system of the oldest old individuals (centenarians) is relatively robust, remain moot. Intracellular proteolysis system of two proteases – µ- and m-calpain – and their inhibitor – calpastatin (the calpain-calpastatin system (CCS)) - is active in resting human peripheral blood T cells, participating in maintenance of their readiness to proliferate and secrete cytokines in response to stimulation. The amounts of the CCS proteins decrease in resting T lymphocytes of healthy elderly, only to return in the centenarians to those levels seen in the young individuals. We compared the calpain activities and th…
