https://www.hsbi.de/publikationsserver/record/5786
Lammers, KlaraInternational Society for Third Sector Research2024People with mental disorders are at increased risk of unemployment due to causal and selective effects. Empirical studies show that in Germany, a high proportion of those receiving benefits from the authorities responsible for employment promotion (‘Job Centres’), are affected by mental illness. This target group hardly benefits from fluctuations in the labour market and thus experiences permanent exclusion from social participation through work. Within the Job Centres, people with mental disorders often do not find the support conditions they would need to stabilise their life situation. High caseloads, standardised procedures and the possibility of sanctions in case of non-compliance often prevent a trustful counselling relationship and support that is oriented towards the individuality of each person.
The present study is located in a model project that tries to achieve better access to this group of people by implementing a peer support approach. So-called peer support volunteers are people who experienced a mental illness themselves, were able to overcome it and now support Job Centre-clients on a voluntary basis. They work in a triangular relationship with Job Centre staff, are supposed to facilitate the establishment of trust and to gain access to subjective perceptions of the clients.
The empirical question addressed in this paper refers to the implementation of a voluntary peer support approach in the organisational context of the Job Centre: To what extent do institutional framework conditions and practices effect peer support volunteers and how does peer support shape the institution and lead to changes? The question is embedded in a larger qualitative study following a grounded theory approach and uses 31 problem-centred interviews and 6 focus group discussions with peer support volunteers as data basis.
With regard to empirical findings, the analysis of the data shows that peer support and the institutional context influence each other. On the one hand, the Job Centre framework shapes the peer support volunteers’ support activities and restricts their ability to act at certain points – for example, when it comes to benefit regulations, perceived institutional targets or role conflicts in relation to the employees. On the other hand, it becomes clear that the peer support volunteers bring about changes in institutional practices and in the actions and attitudes of the staff. By talking about their own perceptions in the position as clients, they bring in the perspective of those affected. In addition, changes in the framework conditions of counselling within the project (e.g. lower caseloads, meetings outside the official context) have an impact on the support and distinguishes it from the regular context.https://www.hsbi.de/publikationsserver/record/5786enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessLammers K.

Balzereit, KajaSoni, NehalBünte, AndreasRocha , Ana PaulaSteels , Luc van den Herik, Jaap2023The order picking process in a manufacturing supermarket is central in many industrial productions as it ensures that the items required for production are provided at the right time. However, the order picking process itself often is a black box, i.e., the time it takes to pick an order and the dependencies in the process that influence the time usually are not exactly known. In this work, we highlight the potentials of creating explainable predictions of order picking times using Artificial Intelligence methods. The prediction is based on the analysis of a historic database and on a linear regression analysis that learns the dependencies in the data. From this prediction, (1) the potential of identifying features having a high and a low influence on the order picking time, (2) the potential of optimizing the order picking process itself, and (3) the potential of optimizing depending processes are identified. For prediction, we utilize the regression methods LASSO and Decision Tree.https://www.hsbi.de/publikationsserver/record/5779engSCITEPRESS - Science and Technology Publicationsinfo:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/doi/10.5220/0011677000003393info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/isbn/978-989-758-623-1info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessBalzereit K, Soni N, Bünte A.

Die Messungen wurden innerhalb einer Messaktion des GAK 767.4./3.1(AHF) durchgeführt. Es wird dargestellt, wie groß die Abweichung zwischen dem mit dem derzeitigen Messverfahren ermittelten Maximums und des wirklichen Maximums der elektrischen Feldstärke ist, das aus einem Scan über eine Zylinder-Oberfläche um den Prüfling ermittelt wurde. Dabei wird weiterhin der Einfluss eines Antennen- Höhenscans sowie der Schrittweite des Drehtisches bei der Detektion des Maximums untersucht. Um die ermittelten Effekte zu analysieren wird auf die Strahlungsdiagramme des Prüflings sowie den Einfluss der verwendeten Antennen eingegangen. Dabei wird eine V-Typ logarithmisch-periodische Antenne mit der Doppelsteg-Breitband-Hornantenne verglichen. https://www.hsbi.de/publikationsserver/record/2347deuVDE Verlag GmbHinfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessBattermann S.

Karau, FabianLeuer, MichaelIEEE2024Rapid Control Prototyping (RCP) and Hardware in the Loop (HiL) are widely used in the development of complex control algorithms, as they speed up the development process. Often, expensive, special RCP systems are used. As standard automation hardware, such as an industrial PC (IPC), is nowadays also very powerful and reliable but at the same time cheaper, it can also be used as an RCP system. An RCP workflow is demonstrated in which code for a programmable logic controller (PLC) is generated from Simulink models and executed on a Beckhoff IPC. Desktop simulation, hardware-in-the-loop simulation and the results on the real system are presented using Model Predictive Control of an experimental test setup of a seesaw system.https://www.hsbi.de/publikationsserver/record/5808engIEEEinfo:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/doi/10.1109/IECON55916.2024.10905274info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessKarau F, Leuer M.

Grüttemeier, NielsBalzereit, KajaSoni, NehalBünte, AndreasIEEE2023We consider the problem of scheduling production jobs on a single machine with sequence dependent family setup times and individual job deadlines. Given a set of jobs, the goal is to minimize the total time to process all jobs while every job meets its deadline. We study algorithms that compute an exact solution to the problem. Motivated by one example use case, we exploit a natural structural observation that occurs in many production settings: the number of product configurations may be significantly smaller than the total number of jobs. We identify an algorithm that is efficient in this setting in terms of performance. We experimentally evaluate its running time and compare it with two other natural approaches of exact job scheduling.https://www.hsbi.de/publikationsserver/record/5778engIEEEinfo:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/doi/10.1109/INDIN51400.2023.10218249info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessGrüttemeier N, Balzereit K, Soni N, Bünte A.

Karau, FabianLeuer, MichaelHenke, MarkusIEEE2024The concept of Model Predictive Control (MPC) has proven itself for demanding control tasks. One reason for this is the ability to consider manipulated variable and state constraints directly during the design phase. In addition, known future setpoints and disturbance variables can be used to calculate the optimal manipulated variable. This is known as a preview and can significantly improve the control behaviour. One problem with implicit MPC is the need to solve an optimization problem in each sampling step and the resulting computational requirements. A common solution is to formulate an explicit MPC and store the optimal control laws for each region. However, if preview steps are to be integrated, the number of required regions increases drastically. Neural networks as universal function approximators are also suitable for imitating an MPC. A Multi-Layer-Perceptron (MLP) is very suitable for processing high-dimensional data and can therefore also model the preview capability. The MLP is trained entirely using simulatively generated training data. The functionality and drastically reduced computing requirements are demonstrated using an experimental test setup of a seesaw system. Here, the algorithms are executed on standard automation hardware, i.e. on an industrial PC (IPC).https://www.hsbi.de/publikationsserver/record/5807engIEEEinfo:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/doi/10.1109/IECON55916.2024.10905949info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessKarau F, Leuer M, Henke M.

Klärs, GabrieleKurscheid, ClarissaBalke-Karrenbauer, NicoleMollenhauer, Judith2024Prävention und Gesundheitsförderung haben – nicht zuletzt mit dem Präventionsgesetz – in Deutschland an Bedeutung gewonnen. Ziele sind die Verbesserung der Gesundheit, die Minimierung von Krankheitsrisiken und die Reduzierung von Krankheitshäufigkeiten. Gesundheit und Krankheit, ihre Risiken und Ressourcen sind in der Bevölkerung ungleich verteilt. Eine besondere Herausforderung ist, diejenigen Zielgruppen zu erreichen, die bisher am wenigsten von Maßnahmen profitieren.
Der Beitrag grenzt Prävention und Gesundheitsförderung konzeptionell gegeneinander ab und stellt die zentralen Strategien und verhaltensbezogenen Theorien für die Entwicklung von Interventionen vor. Außerdem werden Qualitätskriterien, die an Maßnahmen der Prävention und Gesundheitsförderung angelegt werden, und Instrumente der Qualitätsentwicklung beschrieben. Die Grundzüge des Präventionsgesetzes und die Akteurslandschaft in Deutschland werden skizziert. Der Beitrag schließt mit einem Ausblick auf künftige Herausforderungen und Chancen.https://www.hsbi.de/publikationsserver/record/5801deuSpringer Berlin Heidelberginfo:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/doi/10.1007/978-3-662-66798-9_20-1info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/issn/2662-6942info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/issn/2662-6950info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/isbn/978-3-662-66798-9info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessKlärs G.

Hirschfeld, GerritBien, H.de Vries, M.Lüttmann, H.Schwall, J.2010Several software programs exist to assist researchers in setting up online questionnaires. Existing tools are of little help for delivering online rating studies, for which it is often desirable to collect data from participants for only a subset of a stimulus set. {OR-Vis} enables researchers to quickly set up online rating studies by supplying the set of items to be rated, the number of stimuli an individual participant responds to, the number of participants an item is shown to, and the rating questions. The software then generates and delivers unique questionnaires for each participant, while managing the data collection process. The present article describes {OR-Vis}, its installation process, and how to use it to gather data. {OR-Vis} is open-source software and can be downloaded from www.orvis.uni-muenster.de.https://www.hsbi.de/publikationsserver/record/36engSpringerinfo:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/doi/10.3758/BRM.42.2.542info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/issn/1554-351Xinfo:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/issn/1554-3528info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessHirschfeld G, Bien H, de Vries M, Lüttmann H, Schwall J.

https://www.hsbi.de/publikationsserver/record/5777
Balzereit, KajaNiggemann, Oliver2023The increasing size and complexity of cyber-physical production systems (CPPS) lead to an increasing number of faults, such as broken components or interrupted connections. Nowadays, faults are handled manually, which is time-consuming because for most operators mapping from symptoms (i.e., warnings) to repair instructions is rather difficult. To enable CPPS to adapt to faults autonomously, reconfiguration, i.e., the identification of a new configuration that allows either reestablishing production or a safe shutdown, is necessary. This article addresses the reconfiguration problem of CPPS and presents a novel algorithm called AutoConf. AutoConf operates on a hybrid automaton that models the CPPS and a specification of the controller to construct a QSM. This QSM is based on propositional logic and represents the CPPS in the reconfiguration context. Evaluations on an industrial use case and simulations from process engineering illustrate the effectiveness and examine the scalability of AutoConf.https://www.hsbi.de/publikationsserver/record/5777engInstitute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/doi/10.1109/TII.2022.3146940info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/issn/1551-3203info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/issn/1941-0050info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBalzereit K, Niggemann O.

https://www.hsbi.de/publikationsserver/record/200
Venkanna, Deepak Südfeld, C.Baier, ThomasHomburg, Sarah VanessaPatel, AnantWobbe, LutzKruse, Olaf2017The protein superfamily of short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDR), including members of the atypical type (aSDR), covers a huge range of catalyzed reactions and in vivo substrates. This superfamily also comprises isoflavone reductase-like (IRL) proteins, which are aSDRs highly homologous to isoflavone reductases from leguminous plants. The molecular function of IRLs in non-leguminous plants and green microalgae has not been identified as yet, but several lines of evidence point at their implication in reactive oxygen species homeostasis. The Chlamydomonas reinhardtii IRL protein IFR1 was identified in a previous study, analyzing the transcriptomic changes occurring during the acclimation to sulfur deprivation and anaerobiosis, a condition that triggers photobiological hydrogen production in this microalgae. Accumulation of the cytosolic IFR1 protein is induced by sulfur limitation as well as by the exposure of C. reinhardtii cells to reactive electrophile species (RES) such as reactive carbonyls. The latter has not been described for IRL proteins before. Over-accumulation of IFR1 in the singlet oxygen response 1 (sor1) mutant together with the presence of an electrophile response element, known to be required for SOR1-dependent gene activation as a response to RES, in the promoter of IFR1, indicate that IFR1 expression is controlled by the SOR1-dependent pathway. An implication of IFR1 into RES homeostasis, is further implied by a knock-down of IFR1, which results in a diminished tolerance toward RES. Intriguingly, IFR1 knock-down has a positive effect on photosystem II (PSII) stability under sulfur-deprived conditions used to trigger photobiological hydrogen production, by reducing PSII-dependent oxygen evolution, in C. reinhardtii. Reduced PSII photoinhibition in IFR1 knock-down strains prolongs the hydrogen production phase resulting in an almost doubled final hydrogen yield compared to the parental strain. Finally, IFR1 knock-down could be successfully used to further increase hydrogen yields of the high hydrogen-producing mutant stm6, demonstrating that IFR1 is a promising target for genetic engineering approaches aiming at an increased hydrogen production capacity of C. reinhardtii cells.https://www.hsbi.de/publikationsserver/record/200engFrontiers Mediainfo:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/doi/10.3389/fpls.2017.01347info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/issn/1664-462Xinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessVenkanna D, Südfeld C, Baier T, et al.

https://www.hsbi.de/publikationsserver/record/35
Hirschfeld, GerritBrown, Gavin T. L2009Demonstrating factor invariance across population characteristics is an important facet of validating instruments. A new instrument to examine students' conceptions of assessment (SCoA) has been demonstrated in studies to show significant relations to secondary school students' academic performance in mathematics and reading. The research reported here investigates the stability of the factor structure and structural relationships to achievement in reading comprehension across student sex, year-level, and ethnicity. Multiple group confirmatory factor analysis found, in a sample of 3,506 students, that the factor structure of the SCoA was invariant. Conversely, statistically significant differences for sex, year, and ethnicity were found for how the conceptions of assessment related to academic performance in reading.

Kirsch, AndréRexilius, JanCastrillon-Santana, Modesto De Marsico, MariaFred, Ana 2025The acquisition of accurate tracking data is a common problem in scientific research. When developing new algorithms and AI networks for the localization and navigation of mobile robots and MAVs, they need to be evaluated against true observations. Off-the-shelf systems for capturing ground truth data often come at a high cost, since they typically include multiple expensive sensors and require a special setup. We see the need for a simpler solution and propose an easy-to-use system for small scale tracking data acquisition in research environments using a single or multiple sensors with possibly already available hardware. The system is able to track mobile robots moving on the ground, as well as MAVs that are flying through the room. Our solution works with point clouds and allows the use of Time-of-Flight based sensors like LiDAR. The results show that the accuracy of our system is sufficient to use as ground truth data with a low-centimeter mean error.https://www.hsbi.de/publikationsserver/record/5771engScience and Technology Publicationsinfo:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/doi/10.5220/0013110500003905info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/issn/2184-4313info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/isbn/ 978-989-758-730-6info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessKirsch A, Rexilius J.

<dc:description>People with mental disorders are at increased risk of unemployment due to causal and selective effects. Empirical studies show that in Germany, a high proportion of those receiving benefits from the authorities responsible for employment promotion (‘Job Centres’), are affected by mental illness. This target group hardly benefits from fluctuations in the labour market and thus experiences permanent exclusion from social participation through work. Within the Job Centres, people with mental disorders often do not find the support conditions they would need to stabilise their life situation. High caseloads, standardised procedures and the possibility of sanctions in case of non-compliance often prevent a trustful counselling relationship and support that is oriented towards the individuality of each person.
The present study is located in a model project that tries to achieve better access to this group of people by implementing a peer support approach. So-called peer support volunteers are people who experienced a mental illness themselves, were able to overcome it and now support Job Centre-clients on a voluntary basis. They work in a triangular relationship with Job Centre staff, are supposed to facilitate the establishment of trust and to gain access to subjective perceptions of the clients.
The empirical question addressed in this paper refers to the implementation of a voluntary peer support approach in the organisational context of the Job Centre: To what extent do institutional framework conditions and practices effect peer support volunteers and how does peer support shape the institution and lead to changes? The question is embedded in a larger qualitative study following a grounded theory approach and uses 31 problem-centred interviews and 6 focus group discussions with peer support volunteers as data basis.
With regard to empirical findings, the analysis of the data shows that peer support and the institutional context influence each other. On the one hand, the Job Centre framework shapes the peer support volunteers’ support activities and restricts their ability to act at certain points – for example, when it comes to benefit regulations, perceived institutional targets or role conflicts in relation to the employees. On the other hand, it becomes clear that the peer support volunteers bring about changes in institutional practices and in the actions and attitudes of the staff. By talking about their own perceptions in the position as clients, they bring in the perspective of those affected. In addition, changes in the framework conditions of counselling within the project (e.g. lower caseloads, meetings outside the official context) have an impact on the support and distinguishes it from the regular context.</dc:description>

<dc:description>The order picking process in a manufacturing supermarket is central in many industrial productions as it ensures that the items required for production are provided at the right time. However, the order picking process itself often is a black box, i.e., the time it takes to pick an order and the dependencies in the process that influence the time usually are not exactly known. In this work, we highlight the potentials of creating explainable predictions of order picking times using Artificial Intelligence methods. The prediction is based on the analysis of a historic database and on a linear regression analysis that learns the dependencies in the data. From this prediction, (1) the potential of identifying features having a high and a low influence on the order picking time, (2) the potential of optimizing the order picking process itself, and (3) the potential of optimizing depending processes are identified. For prediction, we utilize the regression methods LASSO and Decision Tree.</dc:description>

<dc:description>Dieser Beitrag behandelt das derzeit in der Normung (CISPR/A/WG2) diskutierte Emissions-Messverfahren oberhalb 1 GHz in der Vollabsorberkammer. Die Messungen wurden innerhalb einer Messaktion des GAK 767.4./3.1(AHF) durchgeführt. Es wird dargestellt, wie groß die Abweichung zwischen dem mit dem derzeitigen Messverfahren ermittelten Maximums und des wirklichen Maximums der elektrischen Feldstärke ist, das aus einem Scan über eine Zylinder-Oberfläche um den Prüfling ermittelt wurde. Dabei wird weiterhin der Einfluss eines Antennen- Höhenscans sowie der Schrittweite des Drehtisches bei der Detektion des Maximums untersucht. Um die ermittelten Effekte zu analysieren wird auf die Strahlungsdiagramme des Prüflings sowie den Einfluss der verwendeten Antennen eingegangen. Dabei wird eine V-Typ logarithmisch-periodische Antenne mit der Doppelsteg-Breitband-Hornantenne verglichen. </dc:description>
<dc:description>Rapid Control Prototyping (RCP) and Hardware in the Loop (HiL) are widely used in the development of complex control algorithms, as they speed up the development process. Often, expensive, special RCP systems are used. As standard automation hardware, such as an industrial PC (IPC), is nowadays also very powerful and reliable but at the same time cheaper, it can also be used as an RCP system. An RCP workflow is demonstrated in which code for a programmable logic controller (PLC) is generated from Simulink models and executed on a Beckhoff IPC. Desktop simulation, hardware-in-the-loop simulation and the results on the real system are presented using Model Predictive Control of an experimental test setup of a seesaw system.</dc:description>
<dc:description>We consider the problem of scheduling production jobs on a single machine with sequence dependent family setup times and individual job deadlines. Given a set of jobs, the goal is to minimize the total time to process all jobs while every job meets its deadline. We study algorithms that compute an exact solution to the problem. Motivated by one example use case, we exploit a natural structural observation that occurs in many production settings: the number of product configurations may be significantly smaller than the total number of jobs. We identify an algorithm that is efficient in this setting in terms of performance. We experimentally evaluate its running time and compare it with two other natural approaches of exact job scheduling.</dc:description>

<dc:description>The concept of Model Predictive Control (MPC) has proven itself for demanding control tasks. One reason for this is the ability to consider manipulated variable and state constraints directly during the design phase. In addition, known future setpoints and disturbance variables can be used to calculate the optimal manipulated variable. This is known as a preview and can significantly improve the control behaviour. One problem with implicit MPC is the need to solve an optimization problem in each sampling step and the resulting computational requirements. A common solution is to formulate an explicit MPC and store the optimal control laws for each region. However, if preview steps are to be integrated, the number of required regions increases drastically. Neural networks as universal function approximators are also suitable for imitating an MPC. A Multi-Layer-Perceptron (MLP) is very suitable for processing high-dimensional data and can therefore also model the preview capability. The MLP is trained entirely using simulatively generated training data. The functionality and drastically reduced computing requirements are demonstrated using an experimental test setup of a seesaw system. Here, the algorithms are executed on standard automation hardware, i.e. on an industrial PC (IPC).</dc:description>

<dc:description>Prävention und Gesundheitsförderung haben – nicht zuletzt mit dem Präventionsgesetz – in Deutschland an Bedeutung gewonnen. Ziele sind die Verbesserung der Gesundheit, die Minimierung von Krankheitsrisiken und die Reduzierung von Krankheitshäufigkeiten. Gesundheit und Krankheit, ihre Risiken und Ressourcen sind in der Bevölkerung ungleich verteilt. Eine besondere Herausforderung ist, diejenigen Zielgruppen zu erreichen, die bisher am wenigsten von Maßnahmen profitieren.
Der Beitrag grenzt Prävention und Gesundheitsförderung konzeptionell gegeneinander ab und stellt die zentralen Strategien und verhaltensbezogenen Theorien für die Entwicklung von Interventionen vor. Außerdem werden Qualitätskriterien, die an Maßnahmen der Prävention und Gesundheitsförderung angelegt werden, und Instrumente der Qualitätsentwicklung beschrieben. Die Grundzüge des Präventionsgesetzes und die Akteurslandschaft in Deutschland werden skizziert. Der Beitrag schließt mit einem Ausblick auf künftige Herausforderungen und Chancen.</dc:description>
<dc:description>Several software programs exist to assist researchers in setting up online questionnaires. Existing tools are of little help for delivering online rating studies, for which it is often desirable to collect data from participants for only a subset of a stimulus set. {OR-Vis} enables researchers to quickly set up online rating studies by supplying the set of items to be rated, the number of stimuli an individual participant responds to, the number of participants an item is shown to, and the rating questions. The software then generates and delivers unique questionnaires for each participant, while managing the data collection process. The present article describes {OR-Vis}, its installation process, and how to use it to gather data. {OR-Vis} is open-source software and can be downloaded from www.orvis.uni-muenster.de.</dc:description>

<dc:description>The increasing size and complexity of cyber-physical production systems (CPPS) lead to an increasing number of faults, such as broken components or interrupted connections. Nowadays, faults are handled manually, which is time-consuming because for most operators mapping from symptoms (i.e., warnings) to repair instructions is rather difficult. To enable CPPS to adapt to faults autonomously, reconfiguration, i.e., the identification of a new configuration that allows either reestablishing production or a safe shutdown, is necessary. This article addresses the reconfiguration problem of CPPS and presents a novel algorithm called AutoConf. AutoConf operates on a hybrid automaton that models the CPPS and a specification of the controller to construct a QSM. This QSM is based on propositional logic and represents the CPPS in the reconfiguration context. Evaluations on an industrial use case and simulations from process engineering illustrate the effectiveness and examine the scalability of AutoConf.</dc:description>

<title>Knock-Down of the IFR1 Protein Perturbs the Homeostasis of Reactive Electrophile Species and Boosts Photosynthetic Hydrogen Production in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii</title>
<dc:description>The protein superfamily of short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDR), including members of the atypical type (aSDR), covers a huge range of catalyzed reactions and in vivo substrates. This superfamily also comprises isoflavone reductase-like (IRL) proteins, which are aSDRs highly homologous to isoflavone reductases from leguminous plants. The molecular function of IRLs in non-leguminous plants and green microalgae has not been identified as yet, but several lines of evidence point at their implication in reactive oxygen species homeostasis. The Chlamydomonas reinhardtii IRL protein IFR1 was identified in a previous study, analyzing the transcriptomic changes occurring during the acclimation to sulfur deprivation and anaerobiosis, a condition that triggers photobiological hydrogen production in this microalgae. Accumulation of the cytosolic IFR1 protein is induced by sulfur limitation as well as by the exposure of C. reinhardtii cells to reactive electrophile species (RES) such as reactive carbonyls. The latter has not been described for IRL proteins before. Over-accumulation of IFR1 in the singlet oxygen response 1 (sor1) mutant together with the presence of an electrophile response element, known to be required for SOR1-dependent gene activation as a response to RES, in the promoter of IFR1, indicate that IFR1 expression is controlled by the SOR1-dependent pathway. An implication of IFR1 into RES homeostasis, is further implied by a knock-down of IFR1, which results in a diminished tolerance toward RES. Intriguingly, IFR1 knock-down has a positive effect on photosystem II (PSII) stability under sulfur-deprived conditions used to trigger photobiological hydrogen production, by reducing PSII-dependent oxygen evolution, in C. reinhardtii. Reduced PSII photoinhibition in IFR1 knock-down strains prolongs the hydrogen production phase resulting in an almost doubled final hydrogen yield compared to the parental strain. Finally, IFR1 knock-down could be successfully used to further increase hydrogen yields of the high hydrogen-producing mutant stm6, demonstrating that IFR1 is a promising target for genetic engineering approaches aiming at an increased hydrogen production capacity of C. reinhardtii cells.</dc:description>

<dc:description>Demonstrating factor invariance across population characteristics is an important facet of validating instruments. A new instrument to examine students' conceptions of assessment (SCoA) has been demonstrated in studies to show significant relations to secondary school students' academic performance in mathematics and reading. The research reported here investigates the stability of the factor structure and structural relationships to achievement in reading comprehension across student sex, year-level, and ethnicity. Multiple group confirmatory factor analysis found, in a sample of 3,506 students, that the factor structure of the SCoA was invariant. Conversely, statistically significant differences for sex, year, and ethnicity were found for how the conceptions of assessment related to academic performance in reading. These differences between the structural models may not indicate a deficiency in the instrument but, rather, sensitivity to real-world differences among subgroups. The structural differences can be understood in terms of sex differences in approaches to learning, year differences in participation in the New Zealand national qualifications assessment system, and ethnic dif- ferences in experience of bias and prejudice in schooling.
