In-depth interviews with 75 female journalists who work or have worked in Germany, India, Taiwan, the United Kingdom, and States of America reveal that they face rampant online gendered harassment influences how do their jobs. Many women report if aim to engage audience – which is a job requirement for many them frequently sexist comments criticize, attack, marginalize, stereotype, threaten based on gender sexuality. Often, criticism framed as misogynistic attacks and, sometimes, even...
User comments allow 'annotative reporting' by embedding users' viewpoints within an article's context, providing readers with additional information to form opinions, which can potentially enhance deliberative processes. But are these the only reasons why people comment on online news and read comments? This study examines factors that motivate, or demotivate constrict, such participation surveying nearly 650 commenters, lurkers, non-users in Germany. From a normative perspective, results...
The phylogeny of obligate intracellular coccoid parasites acanthamoebae isolated from the nasal mucosa humans was analyzed by rRNA approach. primary structures 16S and 23S molecules one strain were determined in almost full length. In situ hybridization with a horseradish peroxidase-labeled oligonucleotide probe targeted to unique signature site undoubtedly correlated retrieved sequence respective parasite. This also hybridized second strain, suggesting close relationship between two...
Journalistic news coverage plays an essential role for providing audience with a diverse, multifaceted perspective upon public affairs. However, in the scholarly debate, most measures of viewpoint diversity do not distinguish between statements raising commensurable interpretations, and contributions that construct different meaning consequential sense. We provide operationalization builds tradition identifying distinct interpretations through framing analysis. Going beyond frame diversity,...
Killings, as the most extreme form of violence against journalists, receive considerable attention, but journalists experience a variety threats from surveillance to gendered cyber targeting and hate speech, or even intentional deprivation their financial basis. This article provides comprehensive, interdisciplinary framework journalists' safety, summarized in conceptual model. The aim is advance study safety improve practices, journalism education, advocacy, policy making - vital press...
The phylogenetic position of Caedibacter caryophila, a so far noncultured killer symbiont Paramecium caudatum, was elucidated by comparative sequence analysis in vitro amplified 16S rRNA genes (rDNA). C. caryophila is member the alpha subclass Proteobacteria phylum. Within this moderately related to Holospora obtusa, which another obligate endosymbiont and Rickettsia. A targeted specific hybridization probe designed used for situ detection within its host cell. Comparison rDNA primary...
Does news users’ commentary contribute to widening the diversity of viewpoints represented in news? This article comparatively analyses interpretations current financial crisis online coverage five German newspapers and subsequent users. Using an innovative strategy identify interpretative repertoires constructed by user frames, it assesses how deviates from those news. Findings show that accounts mostly remain within wider offered media. However, they utilize media frame fragments rather...

The glycolate-oxidizing, sulfate-reducing bacterium strain PerGlyS and the syntrophically glycolate-oxidizing FIGIyR were studied with respect to their phylogenetic relationships on basis of in vitro amplification direct sequencing 16S rRNA-encoding DNA. Strain clustered representatives δ subclass class Proteobacteria, close "Desulforhopalus vacuolatus" but sufficiently distinct preclude its assignment this genus. These organisms, together Desulfobulbus propionicus, represent a subgroup...
New species names, Brachybacterium alimentarium and tyrofermentans, are proposed for two coryneform bacteria isolated from the surfaces of Gruyère Beaufort cheeses. These similar in their biochemical chemotaxonomic characteristics but distinct previously described bacteria. The most distinctive presence meso-diaminopimelic acid-containing peptidoglycan with a D-Glu-D-Asp interpeptide bridge erythritol teichoic acids that contain diaminoglucuronic acid (an uncommon substituent). menaquinone...
DNA coding for a variable region within domain III of bacterial 23S rRNA was used as the target group-specific polynucleotide hybridization probes. The corresponding rDNA amplified in vitro by PCR technique combination with pair primers specific flanking conserved sites. fragments were cloned or directly RNA probes generated transcription rDNA. labeled incorporating modified nucleotides during amplification random priming. use transcribed single-stranded instead double-stranded provided...
A 16S rRNA gene of the obligate intracellular bacterial parasite Sarcobium lyticum was amplified using polymerase chain reaction in combination with site-specific primers. The DNA cloned, sequenced and compared other sequences. analysis revealed that S. belongs to gamma subclass Proteobacteria shows closest relationship an Legionella species recovered by amoebal enrichment from sputum a patient pneumonia. could be detected situ fluorescent oligonucleotide probe whole cell hybridization.
A strictly anaerobic, nitrate-reducing bacterium, strain LuFRes1, was isolated using resorcinol as sole source of carbon and energy. The reduced nitrate to dinitrogen gas not able use oxygen an alternative electron acceptor. Cells were catalase-negative but superoxide-dismutase-positive. Resorcinol completely oxidized CO2.16S rRNA sequence analysis revealed a high similarity with sequences Azoarcus evansii tolulyticus. Strain LuFRes1T(= DSM 12081T) is described new species the genus...
A new coagulase-negative species of the genus Staphylococcus, Staphylococcus muscae, is described on basis results a study four strains that were isolated from flies. 16S rRNA sequences type S. schleiferi, and sciuri determined used, together with corresponding aureus epidermidis, for comparative analysis. The characterized taxonomically; this differentiated other novobiocin-susceptible staphylococci by its physiological biochemical activities, cell wall composition, levels genetic...

An ecosystem services (ES) approach to managing marine and coastal resources has increasingly emerged as a core requirement of ecosystem-based management (EBM). However, little practical guidance exists help structure implement such an approach. This paper outlines the linkages between ecosystems, ES EBM in framework that could be applied environmental management. Using northwestern, deepwater Gulf Mexico case study, three-stage was devised: (1) prioritizing relevant according perceived...
