<TITLE> Visuelle Kulturen der Kontrollgesellschaft <ABSTRACT> Ausgangspunkt ist die Hypothese, dass Visualisierungen und ihre massenhafte Verbreitung uber Medien in den modernen Industriegesellschaften einen entscheidenden Anteil an der Bildung und Verbreitung soziokultureller Diskurse besitzen. Ausgehend von Konzepten der epistemologischen Wende von der Schrift zum Bild werden medienwissenschaftliche Ansatze der visuellen Kultur kritisch eingeordnet. Vor diesem Hintergrund wird eine historische, theoretische und methodische Perspektivierung des Gegenstands Fernsehen unternommen. In konkreten Einzelanalysen digitaler Animationen und videografischer Aufnahmen in dokumentarischen Formaten des Fernsehens werden die Verfahren und Methoden der Popularisierung von neuen Asthetiken im Fernsehen seit den 1980er Jahren thematisiert. Am Ende werden diese Analyseergebnisse auf das Konzept der Kontrollgesellschaft bei Gilles Deleuze bezogen und fur eine soziokulturelle Einordnung der Phanomene produktiv gemacht.

<TITLE> Back Cover: Mechanical and electronic properties of stoichiometric silicene and germanene oxides from first-principles (Phys. Status Solidi RRL 6/2013) <ABSTRACT> Analogous to graphene, silicene and germanene have been predicted for Si and Ge elements, respectively. Due to their peculiar buckling structures, the foreign atoms bind strongly to the silicene/germanene sheets, which could form functional nanostructures with intriguing properties. In their Rapid Research Letter on pp. 410–413, Wang and Ding present a first-principles study on the stoichiometric silicene and germanene oxides. It is found that the zigzag ether-like conformation is the most energetically favorable structure for both silicene and germanene oxides. These nanosheets display pronounced mechanical anisotropy, and even exhibit unconventional auxetic behavior with negative Poisson ratio along certain directions. Comparing to the pristine counterparts, the oxidation transforms the semimetallic nanosheets into direct-band-gap semiconductors with anisotropic electronic structures. More interestingly, due to the anisotropic mechanical and electronic characteristics, these oxidized sheets possess axially high intrinsic charge mobilities, which are comparable to the graphene nanoribbons.

<TITLE> Cybersecurity, Multilateral Export Control, and Standard Setting Arrangements <ABSTRACT> Abstract This chapter focuses on two trade mechanisms and their role in pursuing the policy imperatives of promoting international trade in information and communication technologies (ICTs) while seeking to mitigate cybersecurity risks. The first mechanism, international standard setting and certification efforts, aims to facilitate international trade by providing benchmarks and assurances for security features. In contrast, the second mechanism, international export controls, explicitly seeks to restrict the trade in certain ICT goods for national and international security purposes. The chapter begins by introducing the concepts of standards and certification, and surveying the landscape of cybersecurity standard setting before providing a discussion of the major intergovernmental certification scheme, the Common Criteria Recognition Arrangement. It then looks at the Wassenaar Arrangement and examines its recent experience in bringing two types of technologies, intellectual property (IP) surveillance systems and intrusion software, under the purview of export controls.

<TITLE> Regulation of cytokines by Tpl-2 in dendritic cells andmacrophages <ABSTRACT> Antigen presenting cells such as macrophages and dendritic cells play an important role between the interface of the innate and adaptive immune responses. One property shared by dendritic cells and macrophages is that upon activation they secrete either pro- or anti-inflammatory cytokines dependent on the pathogen derived product and the T cell derived signal they encounter. The panel of cytokines they produce determines the class of the adaptive immune response. Tpl-2 was originally described as a proto-oncogene. It was later found to function as a Map-3 kinase leading to phosphorylation of MEK and ERK. Upon stimulation of dendritic cells and macrophages with Toll like receptor ligands (TLR) such as LPS and CpG, Tpl-2 phosphorylates MEK, which in turn phosphorylates ERK, leading to production of cytokines. In the Tpl-2 knockout mice, it has been shown that TNF production is decreased. We have confirmed this finding and shown that this is both at the transcriptional and post-transcription level. In the complete absence of Tpl-2 we have shown that production of the suppressive cytokine IL-10 is reduced in response to TLR stimulation in macrophages and dendritic cells. On the other hand, when macrophages and dendritic cells are stimulated with LPS or CpG in the absence of Tpl-2, production of IL-12 is increased. IFN-b is also upregulated in absence of Tpl-2. Tpl-2 can regulate IL-12 either directly via IL-10, but also independently of IL-10 via ERK. IL-10 is an important cytokine in regulating the immune response in order to inhibit immune pathology. We crossed the Tpl-2 knockout with an IL-10 knockout mouse in order to investigate whether Tpl-2 regulates IL-12 and IFN-b in the complete absence of IL-10. These studies are currently in progress. Preliminary results however, show that the Tpl-2/IL-10 double knockout develop diarrhoea and colitis around 8 weeks of age, leading to minimal weight gain and even weight loss compared to littermates. This is in contrast to the Tpl-2 knockout, which does not develop colitis and the IL-10 knockout, which only develops colitis at 4 months of age. These findings have important implications for treatment of autoimmune diseases with drugs that inhibit ERK, to inhibit TNF mediated pathology. The aim of this thesis was to investigate to role ERK has in regulating cytokine production in DC and macrophages. We used two different strategies to do this. Firstly we pharmacologically blocked ERK phosphorylation with an inhibitor. Secondly we used genetically modified mice lacking Tpl-2.

<TITLE> [MRI for middle-ear cholesteatoma diagnostics]. <ABSTRACT> Non-echoplanar diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (non-EPI-DWMRI) for depicting middle-ear cholesteatoma has a sensitivity as well as specificity at around 90%. It is the accumulated keratin, which results in a high-intensity signal. The detection limit is 3 mm. When applying non-EPI-DWMRI as part of post-operative follow-up, first scan is recommended around one year post-operatively followed by annual scans, until a possible recidive is expected to have reached the detection limit. In children, a closer follow-up is suggested, as paediatric cholesteatomas are more aggressive.

<TITLE> Discussion of Findings <ABSTRACT> This doctoral project began with an investigation of a big problem suppliers are confronted with when marketing their innovations. They usually approach the value chain by dealing with their immediate customers and essentially pushing their innovations into a value chain. But immediate customers often have low incentives to adopt supplier innovations. To break through immediate customers’ resistance, suppliers rely more and more on VCM by enlarging their target group beyond their immediate customers and addressing their downstream customers as well. This doctoral thesis fosters the understanding of VCM. In order to minimize the limitations, the present work uses three different methods, namely a pilot study, a case study, and a simulation study. Based on the pilot study results, research propositions are developed and tested in the second step by conducting multiple case studies. The agent-based simulation study, in turn, tries to remedy the deficiencies of the case study research. The different studies and analyses have answered the question of how supplier innovations could be promoted and implemented more effectively and efficiently via VCM. The strong alignment of qualitative research and computational modeling ensures the validity of the simulation study.

<TITLE> Psicanálise e conflito <ABSTRACT> This article highlights the different emphases given to cultural or constitutional determinants of psychic conflict in the works of Sigmund Freud and Wilhelm Reich. To this end, it revisits the development of Freudian drive theory and the extrapolation of the clash between Eros and Thanatos to the scope of life in society. As a counterpoint, it presents the main conjectures of Reich, such as the theory of character and the somatic bases of neuroses, which led him to understand the psychic conflict as a by-product of a modus vivendi that denies the basic needs of the biopsychological unit.

<TITLE> Rebuilding the Nation: On Architecture and the Aesthetics of Constitutionalism in South African Literature <ABSTRACT> Abstract The South African Constitution is widely regarded as one of the world’s most progressive, and this essays looks to a series of novels concerned with the nation’s transition beyond apartheid in order to examine the challenges of transformative constitutionalism. Through readings of Nadine Gordimer’s None to Accompany Me , Zakes Mda’s Ways of Dying , and Ivan Vladislavic’s The Folly , 1 it explores the prevalence of the language and imagery of architecture in describing national rebuilding and South African constitutional jurisprudence alike. The essay ultimately argues, however, that the architectural metaphor casts post-apartheid recovery as a success story that belies political and economic reality.

Modified Halpin-Tsai model and micro-mechanical approaches were used to evaluate the elastic properties of laminated composite cylindrical shells with different SWCNT weight ratios. The dynamic characteristics of shells were studied using the finite element program for the frequencies and mode shapes. The interactions between carbon nanotubes weight ratios, layup angles, cutout sizes, fundamental frequencies and mode shapes were carried out. The results were verified with those literatures which dealt with different curvature shapes with and without cutout. The study shows the importance of carbon nanotubes (CNT) reinforcement for higher frequency achievement.

<TITLE> Detección de Mycobacterium tuberculosis por observación microscópica y susceptibilidad a las drogas para el diagnóstico rápido de la tuberculosis <ABSTRACT> En esta investigacion se identifica a Mycobacterium tuberculosis y su sensibilidad a drogas por el metodo de susceptibilidad directa a farmacos mediante observacion microscopica comparandose con los metodos tradicionales. Metodos: Se analizaron 100 muestras de esputo procedentes de dos grupos de pacientes: pacientes sintomaticos respiratorios y pacientes de alto riesgo con sospecha de tuberculosis. Se realizo baciloscopia, cultivo en medio Lowenstein-Jensen, metodo MODS, y susceptibilidad antimicrobiana por metodo de las proporciones. Resultados: De un total de 100 muestras procesadas, 22% resultaron positivos a la baciloscopia. 22 casos fueron positivos a Lowenstein-Jensen, y 23 casos positivos a MODS. La sensibilidad utilizando MODS fue del 100% y para el cultivo en Lowenstein-Jensen fue del 100%. La especificidad de MODS fue del 100% y LJ fue del 98.7%, (P < 0.05). El tiempo promedio o average para obtener resultados positivos con MODS y LJ fue de 7 y 34.17 dias respectivamente (P<0.05). De los 22 aislamientos determinados para hallar el patron de resistencia, la concordancia entre MODS y el metodo de las proporciones fue del 96% para INH y 100% para Rifampicina. Para ambos metodos resultaron 5 MDR y un caso monoresistente a isoniazida(P < 0.05). Conclusiones: El metodo MODS demuestra ser mas rapido, mas sensible y mas costo-efectivo que los metodos de referencia utilizados para detectar Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

<TITLE> Effect ofColdAcclimation on theIncidence ofTwoForms ofFreezing Injury inProtoplasts Isolated fromRyeLeaves1 <ABSTRACT> Thefreezing tolerance andincidence oftwoformsoffreezing injury (expansion-induced lysis andlossofosmotic responsiveness) weredetermined forprotoplasts isolated fromryeleaves (Secale cereale L.cvPuma)atvarious timesduring coldacclimation. During thefirst 4weeksofthecoldacclimation period, theLT50(i.e. theminimumtemperature atwhich50%ofthe protoplasts survived) decreased from-50Cto-250C. Inprotoplasts isolated fromnonacclimated leaves (NAprotoplasts), expansion-induced lysis (EIL) wasthepredominant formofinjury attheLT50. However, after onlyIweekofcoldacclimation, the incidence ofEILwasreduced tolessthan10%atanysubzero temperature; andlossofosmotic responsiveness wasthepredominant formofinjury, regardless ofthefreezing temperature. Fusion ofeither NA protoplasts orprotoplasts isolated from leaves ofseedlings coldacclimated for1week(1-week ACC protoplasts) withliposomes ofdilinoleoylphosphatidylcholine alsodecreased theincidence ofEILtolessthan10%.Fusion of protoplasts withdilinoleoylphosphatidylcholine diminished the incidence oflossofosmotic responsiveness, butonlyinNA protoplasts or1-week ACCprotoplasts that werefrozen totemperatures overtherangeof-5to-100C.

<TITLE> The Use of Thematic Map to Improve Student’s Vocabulary Mastery (A Classroom Action Research of the Seventh Grade Students of SMP N 3 Juwana in the Academic Year 2011/ 2012). <ABSTRACT> Vocabulary is the language component that has to be mastered by the language learners because it is thought as one of the indicators to measure the success of learning language. In fact, people often think that teaching vocabulary is difficult. It is caused by good teaching vocabulary needs many aspects, they are: good method, good students attitude and good teaching media. On the other hand, teacher has limited teaching media. That condition is also happened in SMP N 3 Juwana. The other reason, the students cannot be focus and active. After analyze the problems, the writer assumes to use teaching media that is thematic map to improve the student’s vocabulary mastery. The objective of this research is used to find out our whether thematic map can improve vocabulary mastery of the seventh grade students of SMP N 3 Juwana in the academic year 2011/ 2012. In this research, the writer make three cycles. This research is conducted at the seventh grade students of SMP N 3 Juwana in the academic year 2011/ 2012. The class consists of thirty four students. The approach that is used in this research is Classroom Action Research (CAR). It is one of kind of research that is done by teacher in the class. It consist of four stages. These are planning, acting, observing and reflecting. The subject of the research is the seventh grade students of VII D class of SMP N 3 Juwana in academic year 2011/2012. In the result, the student’s vocabulary mastery improves from cycle I until cycle III. In cycle I, the average of the student’s achievement test score is 68.38, in the cycle II the average of the student’s achievement test score is 77.64, and in the cycle III the average of the student’s achievement test score is 83.67. Besides, the students and teacher’s activity are improved and the problem that faced by teacher are decreased in every cycle. Therefore, the writer can conclude that the use of thematic map can improve student’s vocabulary mastery at the seventh grade students of SMP N 3 Juwana in the academic year 2011/ 2012. Therefore, the writer recommends some suggestions. First, teacher should be clever in choosing the appropriate media that can both change the student’s attitude toward teaching media and improve the mastery of vocabulary of students. The second on e is the students should change their mindsets about the difficult of learning English.

<TITLE> [The distribution of oxygen pressure in the pial arterioles of the rat under normobaric hyperoxia]. <ABSTRACT> Breathing with air revealed that oxygen tension in arterioles practically does not depend on the diameter of vessels under study in rats. Whereas in breathing with oxygen, oxygen tension sharply decreased along the course of the microvessel bed. The above decrease seems to be due to exclusion of hemoglobin's dumping function and the effect of such factors as the ratio of arterioles surface's extension to the volume of their blood and the velocity of blood flow in pial arterioles.

<TITLE> Sketching the nebulae <ABSTRACT> In recent years, many historians of science have turned their attention to the visual culture of science. However, the value of images within the practice of science -- even within a highly visual discipline like astronomy -- remains incompletely understood. No one disputes that astronomers use images to communicate with their scientific peers and the broader public or that images can shape and influence the questions astronomers ask. But getting at precisely how visual representations contribute to the acquisition of knowledge and insight is a harder task. In his study of nineteenth-century drawings of nebulae and the procedures adopted by the observers who made them, Omar W. Nasim has done exactly this.Nasim's subject lends itself well to this issue. For nineteenth-century observers, the uncertainty of the nebulae created a vexing problem. These clouds of glowing light could not be measured and quantified in the manner of other celestial objects. Their history, structure, and makeup were all up for debate. As Nasim convincingly demonstrates, the act of drawing became a means to discern the very nature of the nebulae.To make his case, Nasim attends closely to a body of images that have not been carefully analysed: drawings in the observing books of scientists. Observing by hand reproduces numerous pages from these personal record books; the illustrations make evident Nasim's research skills and the pleasure he derives from archival discoveries. At first glance, it is easy to see why historians have largely looked past such sketches. Rough and often tiny, wedged between columns of numbers and scribbled notes, they appear rushed, insignificant, and idiosyncratic. But Nasim ably guides the reader to their salient features, reconstructs the processes used by the observers who made them, and reveals the epistemological value of these sketches both to their creators and to historians who strive to understand scientific practice.The first two chapters consider the work of Lord Rosse and his assistants using the Leviathan, as well as the broader response and interpretation of their observations. Nasim tells a new story about this famous reflector by focusing on the recording methods put into place, in particular, the practice of copying personal drawings into a shared ledger book as a means to synthesize and consolidate the diverse observations made by the many eyes and hands that used the Leviathan. This collection of drawings, made over many years, aided and enhanced the process through which observers became familiar with the nebulae. Nasim also introduces two terms to describe the qualities of the Rosse drawings. He argues that the project initially made portraits of the nebulae, drawings that concentrated on morphological features; later, due to pressure from the astronomical community, the project shifted its attention to descriptive maps, drawings that integrated the pictorial features of the nebulae with numeric data and that necessitated the development of a new procedure. …

<TITLE> Mathematical Foundation of the Quantum Theory of Interacting Fields <ABSTRACT> Assuming that the interaction between two fields takes place in the primary system, we rewrite the interaction Hamiltonian density with primary operators. Then, it becomes a well-defined operator in the primary system, and the Schrödinger equation becomes mathematically meaningful. As the proper system, that is, the physical system in the usual sense, is contained in the extension of the primary system, this Schrödinger equation has a precise mathematical meaning in the proper system, too. It is proved also that the new interaction Hamiltonian is nothing but the renormalized one of the usual interaction Hamiltonian.

<TITLE> Neue Ansätze für biotechnologische Anwendungen der Mais Ac/Ds Transposonfamilie in heterologen Wirtspflanzen <ABSTRACT> Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wurde zum einen ein neuartiges Aktivierungstagging-System untersucht, bei dem das Ac/Ds-Transposonsystem mit einem System zur regulierten Transkriptionsaktivierung kombiniert wurde. Nach Ac-vermittelter Transposition von Ds, bindet der Transkriptionsaktivator LhG4 an eine Operatorsequenz innerhalb des Ds-Elements und initiiert die Transkription aus dem Ds-Element heraus. Die Transkripte bzw. Proteinprodukte konnen zu phanotypischen Veranderungen fuhren, nach denen gescreent werden kann. Die Starke der Transkriptionsaktivierung kann chemisch durch IPTG reguliert werden. Die Aktivierung der Genexpression mit LhG4 sowie die konzentrationsabhangige Regulation durch IPTG wurden mittels GUS-Reportergenaktivitat in Tabakkeimlingen bestatigt. In mehreren Screenings von Tabakkeimlingen, in die alle Komponenten des Aktivierungstagging-Systems eingebracht wurden, konnten morphologisch auffallige Pflanzen detektiert werden. Aus vier Pflanzen, die fusionierte Kotyledonen nach der Keimung aufwiesen, wurden aktivierte Ds-getaggte Transkripte isoliert. Eine weitere Anwendungsmoglichkeit, die mit dem Ac/Ds-System erschlossen wurde, ist die Markergeneliminierung bei Nutzpflanzen. Hierfur wurden Transformationsvektoren erstellt, die alle Komponenten fur die Herstellung von transgenen Pflanzen ohne Markergene enthalten. Bei diesem System wird das Zielgen von den beiden Ds-Enden flankiert. Ein stabiles Ac-Element vermittelt die Transposition der Ds-Zielgen Kassette. Nach erfolgter Exzision wird ein ihp-Element aktiviert, welches uber RNAi die Transposaseaktivitat silencen kann, um in der Pflanze Sekundartranspositionen zu verhindern. Durch Integration der Ds-Zielgen-Kassette an einen nicht mit der T-DNA donor site gekoppelten Lokus, kann in der Folgegeneration die T-DNA ausgekreuzt werden. Experimentell wurde in planta gezeigt, dass durch die ihp-Elemente die Ac-Transkriptmenge stark reduziert wird und somit die Sekundartransposition unterbunden werden sollte.

<TITLE> Empirical and Theoretical Background <ABSTRACT> In this chapter I discuss the empirical and theoretical issues that inform this study. Several questions and intellectual problems guided this research. First, I was skeptical of the claim that African Americans do not participate in any of the large-scale vowel rotations in American English (e.g. Labov 1994, 2001; Bailey and Thomas 1998; Thomas 2001). Wolfram (2007) characterizes the assumption that "… regionality in African American English is invariably trumped by the trans-regional, common core of shared vernacular traits" as a myth and also labels this assumption as the "exotic variety syndrome." It is important to investigate the extent to which speakers of AAE do or do not participate in contemporary vowel changes in American English. To this end, I investigated the patterning of /u/ and /Ʊ/ for the Southern migrant participants in this study. Fronting of these vowels is widespread in American English (see Section 2.1.5). I also examine a more local change for the African American participants in this study, the glide-weakening of /ai/ in the pre-voiceless context, a change that—until recently—was associated with progressive Southern White, but not African American, varieties. Second, I wanted to employ a framework which used local categories relevant to speakers rather than categories imposed by the researcher. Third, I investigate the relationship between internal constraints on and external motivations for language change in a framework that is sensitive to the influences of coarticulation. Socioacoustic work that considers context effects such as coarticulation is also rare.

<TITLE> :The Reconstruction of Southern Debtors: Bankruptcy after the Civil War.<i>(Studies in the Legal History of the South.)</i> <ABSTRACT> The story of the federal government's efforts to reconstruct the society and economy of the devastated South is well known to most historians. Elizabeth Lee Thompson's book adds an interesting and new dimension to this familiar story. Her discussion of the 1867 Bankruptcy Act and its consequences sheds light on the persistence of southern landholders after the war, attitudes toward federal power, and gender relations in the postwar South. Most southern legislators originally perceived the law as a possible extension of federal power, but they tempered their opposition for a number of reasons. They understood that the law would benefit individual southerners and, more importantly, viewed the law as separate from Reconstruction and therefore not punitive. In short, southerners finessed their typical protection of state authority and supported the bill. Southern citizens were quick to take advantage of the law's provisions. Approximately thirty-six percent of the cases were filed in the South, at a time when southerners comprised about one quarter of the population. Most of those filing came soon after the war and many of them were intended to remove debts incurred to northern merchants.

<TITLE> Rescue of calcineurin A alpha null mice reveals a role for calcineurin in salivary gland function <ABSTRACT> Calcineurin is a calcium‐dependent enzyme that functions in many cells including the immune system, neurons, musculature and kidney. The phenotype of mice lacking the αisoform of the catalytic subunit (CnAα‐/‐) is notable for failure to thrive and early lethality; a cause for which has yet to be identified. In this study we report the rescue of CnAα‐/‐ mice to adulthood by feeding of a modified diet. The success of this approach suggested a defect in salivary gland function. Accordingly, while the rate of salivary production was normal, there was a significant decline in salivary amylase and peroxidase activity and lower amounts of sialic acid, indicating a defect in exocrine vesicle formation. Consistent with this finding, salivary glands from null mice demonstrated a marked attenuation of secretory vesicles and granular content of serosal acinar cells in submandibular glands. Subcellular fractionation of wildtype salivary glands revealed endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and trans‐Golgi network expression and activity of the αisoform. Loss of CnAα leads to retention of secretory vesicles in these fractions. Moreover, calcineurin activity in fractions containing the αisoform can be upregulated by acetylcholine and blocked by xestospongin, demonstrating a requirement for the IP3R. In conclusion, we find a critical role for CnAα downstream of the IP3R that is required for post‐ ER trafficking of secretory vesicles.

<TITLE> Gay men and the internet <ABSTRACT> This chapter explores how gay men use new media technologies and how these emergent media have, in turn, helped shape the contours of the gay community. By providing a historical overview of online spaces that have attracted gay audiences, it traces the changing uses of digital technologies including the Internet and social media apps to both challenge and recreate notions of gay community in the offline environment. While bisexuals, lesbian women, transgender individuals, intersexed individuals, the questioning and many other variants of 'sexual minorities' all have their own unique relationship with the Internet, the chapter specifically focuses on gay men because all of these histories and relationships while interrelated are, in fact, ultimately unique. Since 1998, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) has served as a private, not-for-profit organisation subcontracted by the US government that has managed most aspects of Internet governance.

<TITLE> Relationship between Calpain-10 Gene Polymorphism and Insulin Resistance Phenotypes in Chinese <ABSTRACT> In order to determine whether the variations in the calpain-10 gene constitutes risk of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) in Chinese, the frequency of UCSNP-43, 44 in 268 adults newly diagnosed with T2DM (according to the 1999 ADA criteria) and 153 non-diabetic control subjects was investigated. For all subjects, the height, weight, waist-to-hip ratio (W/H) and blood pressure, as well as following parameters were measured: (1) 75-g oral glucose tolerance test with insulin, C-peptide, HbA1c and blood lipid profiles; (2) Genomic DNA extracted from peripheral blood lymphocytes was genotyped for UCSNP-43 (calpain-10-g. 4852 G/A) and UCSNP-44 (calpain-10-g.4841T/C) by sequencing a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-amplified fragment. PCR product was selected by single strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) and then sequenced. The results showed that there was significant difference between T2DM group and normal control group in allele frequencies, haplotype frequencies, or haplotype combinations of UCSNP-43 and -44 either.But in newly diagnosed T2DM group, it was found that the individuals with the genotype UCSNP44 T/C+C/C had significantly increased fasting and post-challenge insulin levels (FIns and P2hIns), consistent with reduced insulin sensitivity. In the BMI>25 subgroup, the differences were even more significant. It was demonstrated that the Calpain-10 gene polymorphism UCSNP-44was associated with insulin sensitivity and FIns and P2hIns in newly diagnosed T2DM, although Calpain-10 doesn't appear as a major diabetes susceptible gene in this population.

<TITLE> Functions and Emergence ofNew Work Organizations at Toyota A Case 0/EmergentSocio-Technical Designs on the Assembly Line <ABSTRACT> This chapter ' examines Toyota's new assembly work organization that emerged from the late 1980s to early 1990s. The chapter describes and analyzes the structures, functions, and patterns of its emergence. Through this analysis, the chapter argues that the new system, when realized, significantly resembled so called work organizations in terms of its structural and funct ional characteristics, but that Toyota did not intend the former to be a direct application of the socio-technical theory . The new system, instead, resulted from a complex emergent process that consisted of both intended and unintended actions by the company and the union in response to the changes in the product-labor markets. In this sense, Toyota's new assembly system may be regarded as an emergent (i.e., unintended but realized) socio-technical system in a broad sense, if not a deliberately planned one (Minzberg & Waters, 1985). The chapter explores this evolutionary logic behind the recent trend ofwork organizations at the Japanese automaker.
