Sclerostin is a Wnt pathway antagonist regulating osteoblast activity and bone turnover, it plays role in cardiovascular calcification processes. Previous findings indicate that sclerostin regulation disturbed chronic kidney disease (CKD). The aim of this study was to assess the association circulating levels with mortality dialysis patients. From prospective cohort incident patients Netherlands, all measured at 3 months after start (baseline) were included present analysis: n = 673, age 63...
The examination of identity issues in learning a second language has recently become focus issue SLA research and especially the field sociocultural linguistics, which seeks to examine not only how languages are learned, but also context takes place individual involved. This study addresses question L2 (second language) C2 culture) acquisition by focusing on identity, specifically one particular aspect, appropriation accent. A first-person account phenomena language, it explain changes...
Separate analysis of endocardial and epicardial myocardial layer deformation has become possible using strain-encoded cardiovascular magnetic resonance (SENC) 2D-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (Echo). This study evaluated compared both modalities for the assessment infarct transmurality as defined by late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) (CMR). In 29 patients (age 62.4 ± 11.7 years, 23 male) with ischaemic cardiomyopathy, SENC 1.5 T CMR Echo were performed. Peak circumferential...
Abstract Compared to monolinguals, multilingual learners possess a larger repertoire of phonetic-phonological parameters, have higher degree language and meta-linguistic awareness, developed increased phonological knowledge. This, combined with the cognitive flexibility that accompanies experienced learners, supports their acquisition pronunciation further foreign languages. This paper first considers dearth research in field L3 phonology respect transfer phenomena. In second step, it...
Abstract In recent years, research interest in both multilingual learners and, more specifically, immigrant populations has increased. This is also true for students who are d/Deaf and hard of hearing (d/Dhh) have families do not speak or sign the languages wider community at home (d/Dhh learners; DML), may be immigrants transitioning to a new country (immigrant DML; IDML). low-incidence, diverse population with minimal on language development adequate support during schooling years. The...
Contrast-enhanced MRI (ceMRI) has impaired accuracy in the prediction of functional recovery after revascularisation cases intermediate myocardial viability.To evaluate predictive value layer-specific deformation analysis for improvement ischaemic dysfunction revascularisation.In 132 patients with left ventricular undergoing revascularisation, viability was assessed by pixel-tracking-derived imaging and ceMRI. Peak systolic circumferential strain determined total wall thickness three layers...
Our overview of current dissertation work at German universities has identified four main strands research interest within the field second language acquisition (SLA). The 38 Ph.D. theses reviewed here were all read between 2006 and 2009 fall into subject areas of: foreign (FL) teaching in primary school, Content Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) multilingual pedagogy, learner autonomy, multimedia learning. Research methods are mostly qualitative nature, although method instrument...
This paper reviews a purposive sample of 23 doctoral dissertations in second language (L2) education, completed between 2009 and 2013 published Germany. From amongst all (approx. 70) relevant from this period, the following three broad thematic strands can be identified, for which selection exemplary was chosen to review: (1) Content Language Integrated Learning (CLIL); (2) learning teaching about culture classroom; (3) teacher education. Categorization themes guided by bottom-up approach,...
Zusammenfassung Inklusive Lerngruppen, wie taube und schwerhörige Schülerinnen Schüler mit einem zusätzlichen Förderbedarf im Bereich DaZ, wurden bislang Rahmen der Fremdsprachendidaktik kaum betrachtet. Der Beitrag versucht eine von Informationen über sprachliche Erwerbsverläufe, Lehrkraftausbildung eingesetzte Unterrichtsmaßnahmen für diese Zielgruppe stellt Desiderate die Weiterarbeit in diesen Bereichen auf.
Abstract Since 2015, increased numbers of newly immigrated schoolchildren in Europe have resulted divergent, often ad hoc measures to provide for their education. Because the basis classroom learning is information found written texts, development grade-level reading skills central importance. However, little known about immigrant students’ at and following transition, no data available Germany, where study was conducted. We report results a longitudinal which migrant ( N = 136) subskills...
To meet increasing needs for multilingual speakers, varied concepts such as Intercomprehension Pedagogy have evolved. Here, speakers of one language concurrently develop reading skills in multiple etymologically related languages. A prerequisite projects is information about mutual comprehensibility, including which languages might be easier to comprehend situations and learners. The present study investigated 73 German university students who read a short text an unknown Germanic (Danish,...

Zusammenfassung Vom herkunftssprachlichen Unterricht wird häufig nicht nur erwartet, dass er herkunfts- und plurilinguale Kompetenzen fördert, sondern auch, der Förderung von Deutschkompetenzen dient. Für den Großteil Schüler*innen, die zu Hause kein oder Deutsch sprechen, erscheint diese Annahme problematisch. Denn sie sind in Deutschland eingeschult worden erwerben bildungssprachliche primär auf Deutsch. Diese Einsicht wurde zum Anlass für eine longitudinale Studie 6. Klassen Frage...
