The Co-evolution of Public Relations and Journalism : a First Contribution to Its Systematic Review = Ko-Evolution von Public Relations und Journalismus: Ein erster Beitrag zu ihrer systematischen Aufarbeitung

Schönhagen, Philomen ; Meissner, Mike

In: Public Relations Review, 2016, vol. 42, p. 748-758

There are many research findings and some theoretical models regarding the interaction between journalism and public relations (PR). But only scarce research has been done so far on the historical perspective of this relationship, which is also called co-evolution of PR and journalism. The aim of this article is to make a first step into the analysis of this co-evolution with a focus on the...

Marvelous Women of Prophecy in the Narrative Strategies of Herodotus’s Histories and Luke-Acts

Morgan, James M.

In: NTOA - Novum testamentum et orbis antiquus, 2019, vol. 121, p. 423-455

In the Greek historiographical tradition, Herodotus and Saint Luke stand out in a few ways from historians of their times. One way is their inclusion of women in their histories, both quantitatively and qualitatively. Another way is their substantial inclusion of the divine sphere as a part of their descriptions of human history. This essay then explores the link between these two interests:...

Conception et fabrication d'un support et conditionnement en vue d'une mise en réserve à long terme. : Le cas d'une armure équestre textile au Bernisches Historisches Museum

Barretta, Martin

Mémoire de bachelor : Haute Ecole Arc Conservation-Restauration, 2020.

This work addresses a quilted horse armor from Nigeria kept in the Bernisches Historisches Museum where it was being stored on a real size horse dummy. However, this storage wasn’t adapted as the dummy’s dimensions didn’t fit the armor which was distorting under its own weight. It was also exposed to both light and dust. In addition, this way of storing the object was taking a considerable...

Dose-dependent heart rate responses to drinking water: a randomized crossover study in young, non-obese males

Grasser, Erik Konrad

In: Clinical Autonomic Research, 2020, p. -

The aim of the study was to explore a potential dose effect of water on heart rate responses and markers of vagal tone modulation.Methods: This was a randomized crossover study involving eight men whose heart rate and heart rate variability parameters were continuously measured following ingestion of different volumes of still mineral water (200, 400, 600, and 800 mL).Results: A significant...

Life-history evolution and the genetics of fitness components in drosophila melanogaster

Flatt, Thomas

In: Genetics, 2020, vol. 214, no. 1, p. 3–48

Life-history traits or “fitness components”—such as age and size at maturity, fecundity and fertility, age-specific rates of survival, and life span—are the major phenotypic determinants of Darwinian fitness. Analyzing the evolution and genetics of these phenotypic targets of selection is central to our understanding of adaptation. Due to its simple and rapid life cycle, cosmopolitan...

The strength of weak leaders : an experiment on social influence and social learning in teams

Buechel, Berno ; Kloessner, Stefan ; Lochmueller, Martin ; Rauhut, Heiko

In: Experimental economics, 2019, p. 1-35

We investigate how the selection process of a leader affects team performance with respect to social learning. We use a laboratory experiment in which an incentivized guessing task is repeated in a star network with the leader at the center. Leader selection is either based on competence, on self-confidence, or made at random. In our setting, teams with random leaders do not underperform....

The genomic and physiological basis of life history variation in a butterfly metapopulation

Klepsatel, Peter ; Flatt, Thomas

In: Molecular Ecology, 2011, vol. 20, no. 9, p. 1795-1798

Unravelling the mechanisms underlying variation in life history traits is of fundamental importance for our understanding of adaptation by natural selection. While progress has been made in mapping fitness-related phenotypes to genotypes, mainly in a handful of model organisms, functional genomic studies of life history adaptations are still in their infancy. In particular, despite a few...
