In the following study the properties of the superabsorbent polymer Broadleaf P4 were investigated according to the aim to apply that polymer within constructed wetlands. The application of the polymer in constructed wetlands shall result in an improvement of the removal of pesticides. For that the polymer was given into lab-scale wetlands together with pumice and were compared to a control wetland, which was filled with gravel. The wetlands were running for several weeks in which the nutrient removal was recorded. The polymer was also tested according to its property to adsorb the pesticides before adding the pesticides to the wetland beds.
Social media platforms play an increasing role in marketing, politics and police affairs, because they can strongly influence opinions. So called “opinion leaders” exert their influence in a given network and shape the opinions of other users. Identifying central nodes in a social graph has been of interest for decades. However, not all centrality measures were developed for social media platforms. They were built for social graphs, which did not include additional metrics (e.g. “likes”, “shares”). Nevertheless, these metrics play a crucial role on modern platforms. Hence, outdated measures need to be adjusted and additional metrics need to be integrated to ensure the best possible results.
In this thesis, the changes in economy and society and the resulting effects on the labor market are being outlined. Current studies show that the shrinking labor market and the increasing digitalization result in a lack of skilled tech talent and a transition from an employer market to a clear employee market. Derived from the findings of the scientific research on this topic and conducted expert interviews, practical recommendations for recruitment actions within the scope of employer branding will be defined in order to help corporations to gain the needed tech skill set and drive innovation.
The bachelor thesis is assigned to introduce the theoretical concept of Human Recourses Management, to analyze the work of human resources department of the LLC Tavria-V and to offer actions with recommendation to improve the productivity of the personnel. To start the implementation of actions for personnel management improvement, first of all, an overview of theoretical and methodological aspects of the HRM are presented and theories which earlier had an impact on our present running of the "workers" are described. Secondly, the concept of organizational work of the enterprise, main indexes and types of activities are figured out and in the form of tables and diagrams analyzed. The main object of the thesis - the process of personnel management with qualitative characteristics is described and presented. Using also the survey of employee all advantages and disadvantages of the present system of HRM are defined. Then in the last part, taking to account all data about current situation, recommended actions and effect for LLC Tavria-V on the basis of the personnel management analysis are presented in the work.
The aim of this bachelor thesis was to establish extracytoplasmic function (ECF) σ factors as synthetic genetic regulators for biotechnological and synthetic biology applications in the new emerging model organism Vibrio natriegens. Therefore, synthetic genetic circuits were engineered on plasmids as test set-up for the investigated ECFs and their target promoters. The resulting plasmid library consisted of the reporter plasmids with the target promoter, fused to a lux cassette, a set of high-copy ECF plasmids and a backup set of lower-copy ECF plasmids. First, the high-copy plasmids were transformed in V. natriegens to test them for their functionality upon different inducer levels, which yielded good inducibility for few, but showed too high ECF-expression in most strains. For this reason, the set of lower copy plasmids was used for combinatorial co-transformation, to investigate the ECFs for their cross-talk to unspecific ECF target promoters. The switching to the lower-copy plasmid-set seemed to be partly helpful, while still much room for fine-tuning of the circuits remains. The knowledge gained can be used to achieve higher success rates when engineering synthetic circuits for various applications in V. natriegens, by using the ECFs here recommended as suitable synthetic genetic regulators.
The epithelial membrane proteins (EMP1-3), which belong to the family of peripheral myelin proteins 22-kDa (PMP22), are involved in epithelial differentiation. EMP2 was found to be a downstream target gene of the tumor suppressor gene HOPX, a homeobox-containing gene. Additionally, a dysregulation of EMP2 has been observed in various cancers, but the function of EMP2 in human lung cancer has not yet been clarified.
In this study, a real-time RT-PCR, Western blot and cytoblock analysis were performed to analyze the expression of EMP2. Gain-of-function was achieved by stable transfection with an EMP2 expression vector and loss-of-function by siRNA knockdown. Stable transfection led to overexpression of EMP2 at both mRNA and protein levels in the transfected cell lines H1299 and H2170.
Functional assays including proliferation, colony formation, migration and invasion assays as well as cell cycle analyzes were performed after stable transfection and it was found that the ectopic EMP2 expression resulted in a reduced cell proliferation, migration and invasion as well as a G1 cell cycle arrest. After the EMP2 gene was silenced by the siRNA knockdown, inhibition of the cell invasive property was observed. These phenomena were accompanied by reduced AKT, mTor and p38 activities.
Taken together, the data suggest that the epithelial membrane protein 2 (EMP2) is a tumor suppressor and exerts its tumor suppressive function by inhibiting AKT and MAPK signaling pathways in human lung cancer cells.
In the present bachelor thesis, nanopore sequencing and Illumina sequencing was compared using pollen DNA collected from honeybees and bumble bees. Therefore, nanopore sequencing was performed with the MinION sequencers and the generated reads were analysed with bash programming. A quantitative and qualitative (based on ITS2 sequences) BLAST run was performed. The results confirme the error probability of nanopore sequencing that is described in the literature. Nevertheless, with both sequencing methods similar sample preferences of the bees could have been observed, allowing ecological conclusions.
In dieser Arbeit wurden neuartige Proteasen aus psychrotoleranten Bakterienstämmen isoliert und auf ihre biochemischen Eigenschaften charakterisiert. Des Weiteren konnten S8 Familie Proteasen Gene amplifiziert werden und Unterschiede in der Aminosäuresequenz konnten in Zusammenhang mit den biochemischen Eigenschaften der Proteasen in Verbindung gebracht werden.
