Franziskanerin berichtet von ihren Erfahrungen als Sozialarbeiterin in der Veranstaltungsreihe „Religion am Donnerstag“

Extreme Armut und Notsituationen, falsche Versprechungen und die Hoffnung auf ein besseres Leben bringen Frauen dazu, ihre Heimatländer zu verlassen. Durch finanzielle Abhängigkeit, Ausnutzung ihrer Hilflosigkeit, Androhung und Ausübung von psychischer und physischer Gewalt werden sie oft in ausbeuterische Beziehungen und Arbeitsverhältnisse oder in die Prostitution gezwungen und so ihrer Rechte und Würde beraubt.

Die Franziskanerin und Sozialarbeiterin Sr. Anna Mayrhofer war viele Jahre lang in Deutschland Mitarbeiterin bei SOLWODI (Solidarity with women in distress – Solidarität mit Frauen in Not) und Leiterin der Schutzwohnung in Wien. In ihrem Vortrag im Rahmen der Veranstaltungsreihe „Religion am Donnerstag“ beleuchtet sie Hintergründe und Auswirkungen von Menschenhandel.

New technology from the University of Graz reveals the hidden properties of tumour cells

It sounds like science fiction, but it could advance cancer research in the future: a team at the University of Graz, led by physicist Jan Enenkel, is developing a new laboratory device using laser technology that can be used to examine individual tumour cells. The idea is reminiscent of the medical tricorder from the Star Trek film series – albeit as a high-precision measurement platform. A spin-off fellowship from the Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG) is supporting the development of the technology at the University of Graz with around 500,000 euros.

Four introduced species of leafhoppers newly discovered in the Botanical Garden Graz

They have travelled to Europe as stowaways via international trade and are now rapidly taking over large parts of the continent: more and more insects from other parts of the world are becoming established here. Biologist Gernot Kunz recently discovered four species for the first time at the University of Graz Botanical Garden: the American grapevine leafhopper (Scaphoideus titanus), the wounded leafhopper from North America (Erasmoneura vulnerata) and the Japanese grape leafhopper (Arboridia kakogawana) – all three specialising in vines – as well as the Indian leafhopper Pediopsoides sharmai, which is associated with walnut trees.
