A sudden creatinine increase: A case report

Creatinine and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) are first-line laboratory parameters in the diagnosis of various renal diseases. In recent decades, cystatin C (cysC) has furthered the laboratory repertoire regarding renal status assessment and has been implemented in many clinical guidelines. Accordingly, with the establishment of cysC as a renal routine biomarker, further opportunities for assessing eGFR have been attained. Nevertheless, various limitations are still associated with cysC and creatinine analysis. Preanalytical errors could cause false results in both biomarkers. In our case, we were confronted with implausibly elevated creatinine levels due to preanalytical errors.

Testing agile requirements models

INTRODUCTION One main purpose of requirements is to de-scribe the functionality of software. Thus re-quirements often serve as a basis for contracts aswell as for communication between customers anddevelopers. However, they are usually captured innatural language accompanied by a few top-levelinformal drawings like use cases or activity dia-grams that denote the structure of the functional-ities in an abstract way. One disadvantage of naturallanguage is that the developer has to cope with…     

Intergenerationale Transmission von kulturellem Kapital in Migrantenfamilien

Zusammenfassung Im Bildungssystem Deutschlands besteht eine ausgepr?gte ethnische Ungleichheit: Kinder aus Familien mit Migrationshintergrund erreichen nicht nur niedrigere, sondern auch weniger Bildungsabschlüsse als ihre deutschen Mitschüler und Mitschülerinnen. Dieses Defizit bei der Akkumulation von kulturellem Kapital wirkt sich wiederum negativ auf ihre Arbeitsmarktplatzierung und damit auf ihre strukturelle Assimilation in Deutschland aus. Die Ergebnisse hinsichtlich der Bedeutung intergenerationaler Transmission von Kapitalien in Deutschland zeigen klar, dass die unterschiedlichen Sozialisationsbedingungen in den Familien einen ausschlaggebenden Faktor für den schulischen und beruflichen Erfolg darstellen. Insbesondere das kulturelle Kapital, das Familien nach einer internationalen Wanderung in intergenerative Transmissionsprozesse investieren k?nnen, scheint von strategischer Bedeutung für den Verlauf und die Geschwindigkeit von Assimilationsprozessen zu sein. Die Struktur des deutschen Schulsystems spielt dabei eine entscheidende Rolle, denn sie bestimmt die Rahmenbedingungen unter denen intergenerationale Transmission in Migrantenfamilien m?glich und erfolgreich sein kann. Summary Intergenerational Transmission of Cultural Capital in Migrant Families: Towards an explanation of ethnic differences in the German educational system There is a clearly established inequality in the German educational system: children from migrant families do not simply achieve lower, but also less qualifications than their German counterparts. This deficit in the accumulation of cultural capital leads to negative placement opportunities in the job market and eventually affects their structural assimilation in Germany negatively. The results concerning the importance of intergenerational transmission of resources clearly demonstrate that differences in the conditions for socialization in the families have a significant effect on school and vocational success. In particular, the cultural capital which families invest in intergenerational transmission appears to be of strategic importance to the course and speed of assimilation processes. The structure of the German school system plays a decisive role, since it determines the framework within which intergenerational transmission in migrant families is possible and successful.

Informelles Lernen und Medienbildung

Der Begriff des informellen Lernens wird hier auf den Wissenserwerb im Rahmen der allt?glichen Nutzung von Massenmedien bezogen. Bei der genaueren Betrachtung des Mediennutzungsverhaltens von verschiedenen Altersgruppen erweisen sich sozio-kulturelle Unterschiede als wichtige Pr?diktoren für Mediennutzung und -rezeption. Das Konzept der sozialen Milieus eignet sich zur Analyse sozio-kultureller Differenzen, auch mit Blick auf die Medienbildung. Bei Kindern scheint das Herkunftsmilieu der Eltern einen zentralen Einfluss auf deren Medienbildung zu haben, w?hrend im Jugendalter auch jugendkulturelle Rahmungen bedeutsam werden. Medienrezeption wird dabei nicht als einseitiger Prozess, sondern als kommunikative Interaktion zwischen Medienproduzenten und Medienkonsumenten verstanden. Letztere bringen in der Wahl von Medien, Genres und Rezeptionskontexten auch ?sthetische Pr?ferenzen und ihren sozio-kulturellen Habitus zum Ausdruck.     

Testing agile requirements models

This paper discusses a model-based approach to validate software requirements in agile development processes by simulation and in particular automated testing. The use of models as central development artifact needs to be added to the portfolio of software engineering techniques, to further increase efficiency and flexibility of the development beginning already early in the requirements definition phase. Testing requirements are some of the most important techniques to give feedback and to increase the quality of the result. Therefore testing of artifacts should be introduced as early as possible, even in the requirements definition phase.     

New perspectives for the evaluation of training sessions in self-regulated learning: Time-series analyses of diary data

The present study combines a standardized diary approach with time-series analysis methods to investigate the process of self-regulated learning. Based on a process-focused adaptation of Zimmerman’s (2000) learning model, an intervention (consisting of four weekly training sessions) to increase self-regulated learning was developed. The diaries were applied to evaluate this intervention. A sample of 40 civil engineering students participated and 21 of them answered questions in standardized diaries over a five-week period. The effectiveness of the intervention was demonstrated using trend analyses that evinced significant improvements in self-regulatory behavior. In addition, interrupted time-series analyses and control group comparisons confirmed essential treatment effects. The results demonstrate the advantages of using standardized diaries to obtain ecologically valid data on daily learning.
