RNA is one of the most important molecules in living organisms. One of its main functions is to regulate gene expression. This involves binding to and forming a joint structure with a messenger RNA. An RNAs functions is determined by its sequence and the structure it folds into. Accordingly, the prediction of individual as well as joint structures is an important area of research. In this thesis a method for the prediction of RNA-RNA joint structure using their minimum free energy (mfe) structures was developed. It is able to extensively explore the joint structural landscape of two interacting RNAs by taking advantage of the locality of changes in the RNAs structures as well as natural and energetic constraints. The method predicts the mfe joint structure as well as alternative stable joint structures while also computing non-optimal folding pathways from the unbound individual mfe structures to the predicted joint structures. It is shown how an enumeration approach is used which is able to deal with the enormous search space as well as to avoid any cyclic behaviour. The method is evaluated using two standard datasets of known interacting RNAs and shows good results.
Das Kernanliegen des Datenschutzes ist es, natürliche Personen vor nachteiligen Effekten der Speicherung und Verarbeitung der sie betreffenden Daten zu schützen. Aber viele Personen scheinen gar nicht geschützt werden zu wollen. Im Gegenteil, viele Endanwender willigen “freiwillig“ – bewusst oder unbewusst – in eine umfassende Verarbeitung ihrer personenbezogenen Daten ein. Warum tun Menschen dies? Es werden verschiedene Ursachen diskutiert (beispielsweise in [79]), hierzu gehören Uninformiertheit, mangelnde Sensibilität, das Gefühl der Hilflosigkeit, mangelnde Zahlungsbereitschaft und mangelnde Alternativen. Auch wenn dies in Einzelfällen zutrifft, so gibt es oft sehr wohl datenschutzfreundliche Alternativen. Beispielsweise existiert zu WhatsApp (als Instant Messaging App) die Alternative Threema. Threema gilt als EU-DS-GVO-konform und funktional durchaus mit WhatsApp vergleichbar [62]. Allerdings ist inzwischen die aktuelle Netzwerkgröße ein entscheidendes Auswahlkriterium: Im Januar 2018 hatte Threema 4,5 Millionen Nutzer [172], WhatsApp dagegen 1,5 Milliarden [171]. Dies ist ein Indiz dafür, dass WhatsApp sich quasi zum De-facto-Standard entwickelt hat und es für die einzelne Person nur schwer möglich ist, viele andere “zum Wechsel auf ein anderes Produkt zu bewegen. [. . . ] Bei Diensten mit Nutzerzahlen im Milliardenbereich kann von ’Freiwilligkeit’ nur noch bedingt gesprochen werden.“ [9]

BACKGROUND
Given the unreliable self-report in patients with dementia, pain assessment should also rely on the observation of pain behaviors, such as facial expressions. Ideal observers should be well trained and should observe the patient continuously in order to pick up any pain-indicative behavior; which are requisitions beyond realistic possibilities of pain care. Therefore, the need for video-based pain detection systems has been repeatedly voiced. Such systems would allow for constant monitoring of pain behaviors and thereby allow for a timely adjustment of pain management in these fragile patients, who are often undertreated for pain.
METHODS
In this road map paper we describe an interdisciplinary approach to develop such a video-based pain detection system. The development starts with the selection of appropriate video material of people in pain as well as the development of technical methods to capture their faces. Furthermore, single facial motions are automatically extracted according to an international coding system. Computer algorithms are trained to detect the combination and timing of those motions, which are pain-indicative.
RESULTS/CONCLUSION
We hope to encourage colleagues to join forces and to inform end-users about an imminent solution of a pressing pain-care problem. For the near future, implementation of such systems can be foreseen to monitor immobile patients in intensive and postoperative care situations.
Innovation has been touted to be the central catalyst of entrepreneurship. This view has dominated research in start-ups as well as small and medium enterprises. Therefore, the relationship between innovation and firm performance has been a subject of interest to many researchers and policy makers. Through a longitudinal approach, this study investigated the influence of product innovation on the performance of Haco Tiger Brands, a medium sized fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) company in Kenya’s East Africa market. The study looked at the product innovation activities within the company for a period of 7 years for a total of 35 products across the five major brand categories of the company. Using a secondary data capture form, data on sales revenues for both the company and innovated products for the past 7 years was obtained. Data on the innovated products launch time and type of innovation was also obtained. Using time series and linear regression analysis, the results indicate that the total company sales revenues less innovation grew at a slower rate of 50% as compared to growth when product innovation sales revenues were included in the total company sales revenues accounting for a faster sales growth rate of 76%. The influence of product innovation on performance was statistically significant (p<0.05) accounting for 92.19% variation in performance. These findings provide irrefutable empirical basis that product innovations have significant revenue growth rates, hence the need for managers of medium sized companies to invest in research and development to sustain product innovation and spur growth. The results sit well within theory and other empirical studies with additional contribution to methodology. Based on the study limitations, further areas for research have been suggested.
