A new perspective on knowledge exchange
In recent years, knowledge exchange (KE) and, more generally, the Third Mission have gained in importance for HEI. Consequently, research has focused on different formal and informal KE activities in order to extend the understanding of the antecedents and processes of KE. Literature indicates that researchers’ professional experience outside academia may positively impact KE, although evidence has been sparse until now. By comparing professors w…
Higher everyday functioning, lower quality of life, and home care are associated with persisting symptoms after a Covid-19 infection in German care recipients
Introduction: To date, risk factors for persisting symptoms after a COVID-19 infection have not been investigated in people needing care or support. Prior meta-analyses identified age, obesity, and female sex as risk factors for persisting symptoms after a COVID-19 infection in the general population. Methods: This study is part of the Bavarian ambulatory COVID-19 monitor. Data were collected from ambulatory patients needing care/support and a pa…

New admissions and asymptomatic TB cases seem to fuel TB epidemic in prisons, a cross sectional survey in Tanzania
There is an increased risk for tuberculosis (TB) infection and disease progression in prison settings. TB prevalence in prisons in low- and middle-income countries have been measured to be up to 50 -times higher than in the general population. The aim of the study was to perform active TB screening and estimate the burden of TB in central prisons in Tanzania mainland. We performed TB active case finding in five central prisons, Keko, Segerea, Uko…
Associations of Mental Health Issues with Health Literacy and Vaccination Readiness against Covid-19 in Long-Term Care Facilities—A Cross-Sectional Analysis
Vaccinations against COVID-19 are of the utmost importance in long-term care facilities. During the pandemic, mental health issues increased significantly. This cross-sectional analysis aimed to assess the associations of depression and anxiety with health literacy in people in need of care and the association of depression and burnout with vaccination readiness against COVID-19 in health care workers (HCWs). Within our cross-sectional study, peo…
Civil Society: Concepts, Challenges, Contexts
Covid-19 Testing Unit Munich
To assess the course of the COVID-19 pandemic and the impact of non-pharmaceutical interventions, the number of reported positive test results is frequently used as an estimate of the true number of population-wide infections. We conducted a retrospective observational analysis of patient data of the Corona Testing Unit (CTU) in Munich, Bavaria, Germany between January 27th, and September 30th, 2020. We analyzed the course of daily patient number…
Universities between Inter- and Renationalization
An inherent tension between the global and the national frame of reference defines the modern research university. This seems to be the conflicting diagnosis of two recently published volumes on the matter: In their book on The University and the Global Knowledge Society, David J. Frank and John W. Meyer (2020) link the spectacular rise of the university to its lasting claim to generate “universalized truths” (Frank & Meyer 2020). John Aubrey Dou…
Prevalence and Risk Factors of Infection in the Representative Covid-19 Cohort Munich
Given the large number of mild or asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 cases, only population-based studies can provide reliable estimates of the magnitude of the pandemic. We therefore aimed to assess the sero-prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 in the Munich general population after the first wave of the pandemic. For this purpose, we drew a representative sample of 2994 private households and invited household members 14 years and older to complete questionnaires and…
Disclosure of HIV/Aids status to infected children in Ghana – A north-south comparison of barriers and enablers
Disclosure of HIV status to infected children plays critical role in child health and wellbeing. This study identifies and compares child HIV disclosure barriers and facilitators in Upper East, Northern and Ashanti regions of Ghana. Prospective data was collected through a questionnaire on 180 caregivers of HIV-infected children 5–18 years from 12 antiretroviral treatment (ART) centres from May 2017 to November 2018 enrolling 89 (49.5%) males and…

Transmission of 2019-nCoV Infection from an Asymptomatic Contact in Germany
2019-nCoV Transmission from Asymptomatic Patient In this report, investigators in Germany detected the spread of the novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) from a person who had recently traveled from China...
Lung Function Testing and Prediction Equations in Adult Population from Maputo, Mozambique
Background: Local spirometric prediction equations are of great importance for interpreting lung function results and deciding on the management strategies for respiratory patients, yet available data from African countries are scarce. The aim of this study was to collect lung function data using spirometry in healthy adults living in Maputo, Mozambique and to derive first spirometric prediction equations for this population. Methods: We applied …
Knowledge, attitudes and practices towards viral haemorrhagic fevers amongst healthcare workers in urban and rural public healthcare facilities in the N’zérékoré prefecture, Guinea
Three years after the end of the Ebola epidemic, our findings suggest that public healthcare facilities in the N'zérékoré prefecture in Forest Guinea still lack essential protective equipment and some practical training in VHF suspect case detection. To minimize the risk of future VHF epidemics and improve management of outbreaks of infectious diseases in the region, current efforts to strengthen the public healthcare system in Guinea should enco…
Protocol of a population-based prospective Covid-19 cohort study Munich, Germany (KoCo19)
With the planned study we will establish a reliable epidemiological tool to improve the understanding of the spread of SARS-CoV-2 and to better assess the effectiveness of public health measures as well as their socio-economic effects. This will support policy makers in managing the epidemic based on scientific evidence
A Phenomenological Account of HIV Disclosure Experiences of Children and Adolescents from Northern and Southern Ghana
Disclosure of HIV status to infected children, though challenged by caregiver dilemma, remains central in achieving the United Nations Programme on HIV and AIDS (UNAIDS) global goal of 90/90/90. This study explores children's HIV disclosure experiences across Northern and Southern Ghana. A qualitative interpretative phenomenological design facilitated the recruitment of 30 HIV positive disclosed children and adolescents aged 9−19 years in 12 anti…
Morbidity profile and sociodemographic characteristics of unaccompanied refugee minors seen by paediatric practices between October 2014 and February 2016 in Bavaria, Germany
The majority of arriving URM appear to have immediate health care needs, whereas the pathologies involved are mostly common entities that are generally known to the primary health care system in Germany. Outbreaks due to hepatitis A virus are unlikely since herd immunity can be assumed, while this population would benefit from hepatitis B vaccination due to low immunity and high risk of infection in crowded housing conditions. One key finding is …

Twinning Peaks—Potential and Limits of an Evolving Network in Shaping Europe as a Social Space
In the context of the current crisis, many researchers as well as practitioners claim that the European integration process has to be complemented by a strong social dimension or what is sometimes called ‘horizontal Europeanization’. This article looks at town twinning in Europe, a specific instrument for fostering social exchange and partnerships across national borders. Different hypotheses concerning its development are tested on the basis of …

The transition from vocational education and training to higher education
This paper questions whether participation in vocational education and training (VET) provides a successful progression route into UK higher education (HE). Following an overview of the UK policy agenda two inter‐connected aspects of HE access are investigated: students' choice of institution and choice of subject. Analysis of administrative data shows that A‐levels provide the major access route into more prestigious HE institutions. Students wi…
