Overview: "Hedrology" - a term coined by G. B. E. SIMONETTI (Milan) - is the oldest of all surgical specialities. It was re-introduced as Proctology by European surgeons at the turn of the century. Excellent work was performed by the surgeons LIS­ FRANK, DIEFFENBACH, VELPEAU, VOLKMANN, KRASKE, VON REINEKE, QUENU, REHN and GOETZE. Today this specialty includes the research, recognition and treatment of disorders of the entire colon, rectum and anus. Ever since the days of W. VON REINEKE (1868-1901), this specialty has been cultivated with special care at the Chirurgische Universitatsklinik Erla

Overview: The present study exploratively investigated the role of organizational culture in performance management practices in Kenyan higher education institutions. Specifically, the influence of organizational culture on the purpose and extent to which performance information is used was explored. Qualitative interviews were conducted followed by quantitative surveys, which were filled out by teaching and non-teaching staff in various universities in Kenya. The findings provide evidence of linkages between performance information use, diversity of measure and organizational culture. It has

Overview: Lernhilfen in Form von Hilfe- oder auch Tippkarten werden als Material zur Differenzierung im Unterricht eingesetzt. Ob diese Lernenden tatsächlich helfen, ist bisher unzureichend geklärt. Für die vorliegende Untersuchung dienen sog. Strategieschlüssel als Interventionsinstrument. Theoretisch ist zu vermuten, dass die Schlüssel den Einsatz von Strategien triggern und die Selbstregulation im Bearbeitungsprozess anregen. Im Kontext des mathematischen Problemlösens wird untersucht, auf welche Art und Weise die Strategieschlüssel den Problembearbeitungsprozess von Dritt- bis Viertklässle

Overview: Dieses Buch ist aus den Arbeiten im Hochleistungs-Versuchs- und Prüffeld entstanden. Zuerst lag nur eine kleine Sammlung von J!‘ormeln und anderen Unterlagen vor, die sich in der Praxis als nützlich erwiesen hatten. Im Verlauf der Zeit wuchs diese Sammlung stark an, eine Folge der Erfahrungen und Erkenntnisse aus der stürmisch fortschreitenden Netz-, Schalter-und Prüf technik. Schließlich konnte an eine Zusammen­ fassung in Buchform gedacht und vermutet werden, ein solches Buch würde als Ergänzung zu der schon vorhandenen Literatur nicht nur dem Ingenieur im Hochleistungsprüffeld hel

Overview: Transposon tagging can work. Even though most of our understand­ ing about the factors that contribute to a successful tagging experiment has been accumulated from a limited number of experiments using different transposable elements in different genetic backgrounds, it is still possible to draw some conclusions regarding the best experimental strategies for gene tagging. In our experience, Spm has proved to be a good element for transposon tagging. The frequency of recovering mutable alleles in­ duced by Spm is not significantly different from that for Ac-Ds or for Mu 6 (summarized
