Die deutsche Tarifordnung im europäischen Mehrebenensystem
Authors: Schmidt Daniel
Published: February 2023

Supranational law seems to increasingly influence national law. This is also assumed to be the case for collective bargaining law, which is exposed to a superstructure of international law in addition to the determinants of European Union law. Daniel Schmidt examines the interaction of the legal systems, starting with a legal methodological approach based on the principle of sovereignty under international law and German constitutional law. On this basis, he determines the scope of the supranational provisions on collective bargaining law and answers the questions of the binding effect of the parties to collective agreements on supranational law and the interpretation of collective agreements in conformity with international and Union law.

Social sphere orientation and context sensitivity are central themes in the discussion about the future of the Church. In this debate, reference is often made to the advantages of Fresh X, which promises a new approach to the Church’s community relations involving exactly these two features. This study compares the social sphere orientation of Fresh X and parishes of the Protestant Church based on their contacts, their target groups and their main content orientation. These are related to communities' satisfaction with their current situation. The analysis is based on data from the 2nd congregations barometer, a survey of Fresh X and a representative sample of Protestant parishes.
Contested Urban Citizenship in Kenya
Authors: Maihack Henrik
Published: February 2023

Access to the social and political means of citizenship is a distinct expectation of those living and working in Nairobi’s urban informality. In an empirical analysis based on original survey data comparing rural and urban Kenya and focus-group discussions in informal settlements of Nairobi, this book shows that expectations of accessing public goods were high when people first arrived in the city and rose over time among dwellers in Nairobi’s urban informality, despite previous repeated frustrations of such expectations as well as strong attachments to rural areas. The book demonstrates that urban informality distinctly shapes citizenship.
Rekonstruktion des Verbotsirrtums: Die einheitliche Irrtumslehre
Authors: Liu He
Published: February 2023

The mistake theory is traditionally an unavoidable topic in criminal law theory. A correct mistake theory, on the other hand, should combine the normative attribution after the act and the subjective state at the time of the act. The "unified mistake theory" advocated in this thesis traces the question of criminal attribution back to the subjective nature of the offender's cognitive deviation. In the context of criminal law dogmatics, the "unified mistake theory" is based on a second-level distinction between the knowledge and the intent of the offender. This second-level distinction is based on the limitation of the intent to commit a crime to "first-level knowledge and intent" and the limitation of the understanding of wrongdoing to "second-level knowledge and intent". On this basis, the "unified mistake theory" bases the question of criminal law attribution for the cognitive deviation on the avoidability of the "knew what he wanted" of the wrongful intent.

Authors: Nørgaard Bente , Beagon Una , Koponen Jenny , Kövesi Klara
Published: February 2023

Engineering (STEM) universities in Europe apply different pedagogical and didactic approaches, which are reflected in the structure of teaching and learning activities that are organised for the students. There is great variation in terms of both semester structure and how teaching activities are carried out. The aim of this study is to shed light on students' observations of the different teaching structures and teaching practices offered and to highlight the impact on students of the different teaching approaches. The data for the study was collected through a survey distributed by the BEST student organisation with 351 respondents from students in 36 European countries. The survey contained multiple-choice questions that aimed to collect demographic data, but also focused on questions about how their programme and learning and teaching activities were structured and most importantly, their perception of the various approaches used. Findings show the variation in teaching approaches such as the extent of teacher centred approaches, class sizes, laboratory components and project work. The variation in the delivery of project work, the number of projects, timescale and the extent of collaboration with industry are also described. The study shows a picture of EU engineering universities from the perspective of the students. It highlights the diversity in structure and teaching activities and most importantly, the extent to which students disengage due to the way they are taught.
Action research on electrochemistry learning. Conceptual modelling intervention to promote disciplinary understanding, scientific inquiry, and reasoning
Authors: Orozco Mariana , Boon Mieke , Susarrey Arce Arturo
Published: February 2023

Students in engineering-science programmes often struggle with theoretical concepts, while they tend to adopt a surface approach to learning. We suggest that this can be tackled by promoting a specific higher-order thinking skill (HOTS) that enables drawing connections between physical phenomena and theoretical concepts representing them. We designed an intervention to support students in achieving deep insight into electrochemical phenomena, while developing this HOTS. Such intervention aims to scaffold students’ learning and development by introducing conceptual modelling as an essential thinking skill of engineering-scientists, and as a strategy to build scientific understanding of natural phenomena. Therefore, conceptual modelling constitutes a main learning objective of this novel course. This paper reports an empirical investigation into how students deal with concepts and complexity, and to what extent the intervention has any measurable effects on the learning outcomes. This phenomenological investigation integrates considerations from various disciplines, and relies on multiple data sources, i.e., students’ documents (lab journals and reports), observations of students in action (in discussions with their tutors and while performing lab experiments), and video stimulated-recall interviews. The results show little effect of the intervention, as implemented, suggesting how challenging it is for students (and instructors) to shift from traditional learning-and-teaching approaches, towards an epistemology of knowledge construction for specific problems. The findings are informative for revision of the intervention and generate specific recommendations. Concurrently, our operationalisation of the conceptual framework proves powerful in detecting qualitative differences in HOTS. Plausible implications for research and educational practice in science-engineering education are discussed.

Calcinosis cutis also commonly called as Calciphylaxis is one of the uncommon conditions characterized by precipitation and deposition of phosphate and calcium salts in the dermis and subcutaneous tissues. We report two different cases clinical diagnosed as malignancy and final diagnosis was made on FNAC which correlated with the histopathology. A 45-year-old women came with a compliant of swelling over lateral aspect of thigh on left side since 6 months. Provisional diagnosis of liposarcoma was made clinically and on FNAC given as Calcinosis cutis which correlated with histopathology. A 62-year-old women came with compliant of swelling over lateral aspect of thigh on right side since 10 months associated with pain. Provisional diagnosis of soft tissue sarcoma was made clinically and advised for FNAC clinically and on FNAC given as Calcinosis cutis which correlated with histopathology. Calcinosis cutis is a condition in which there is organized and localized deposition of calcium in the skin. The evolution of the lesions depends on the aetiology of the calcification. The pathogenesis still remains unclear, but several theories have been suggested for this. Calcinosis cutis is a potential mimic of a neoplastic lesion. FNAC is a simple, rapid and reliable technique and which helps in diagnosis of such lesions. Keywords: Mimicker, Fine needle aspiration cytology, Diagnosis

Published: February 2023

This study investigated the relationship between nutritional knowledge and dietary behaviors of students at the University of Sports Ho Chi Minh City. A questionnaire was set up to assess the nutritional knowledge and dietary behaviors of 169 student-athletes (111 males and 58 females) with age ranging from 18 to 25. The collected data revealed that there is a close relationship between nutritional knowledge and the dietary behaviors of the students. Most students are aware of the importance of eating in moderation, and a healthy diet affects exercise results. The majority of the female (84%) and male (75%) athlete-respondents have a “good” level of nutritional knowledge. Besides, the 24-hours dietary recall survey was carried out on 43 students- marathon athletes (26 males and 17 females) aged 18-25. The results showed that the student-athlete-respondents perform heavy physical activities from Monday to Saturday every week. However, the amount of energy intake is considered inadequate compared to how many calories are needed for their daily training, even though they have day-offs. Therefore, there is a need to improve nutritional knowledge and dietary nutrition for student-athletes.

Published: February 2023

The National Education Policy 2020 was approved by the Union Cabinet in July. It seeks to reform the education system of India and overarches the structural issues in the present Education System.  The National Education Policy 2020 strongly emphasizes including sports and physical education as a part of the curriculum. It is recognized as a subject to be taught and the physical aspects are limited to physical education sessions. The idea is not much different from what already exists. The policy merely makes it mandatory what was otherwise an option in many schools. The present article throws light on the significance of physical education and sports across the levels of education-pre-primary, primary, secondary, higher secondary, and higher education. The views provide an array of pertinence in the realm of all-round development of an individual. Health is wealth-goes the old saying. The head, heart and soul reside in a body and physical education and yoga provides a sound health of all these. The position of physical education, yoga and sports in all levels of educational curricula can sign a positive and confident youth, who could contribute to the development of the nation. The NEP 2020, thus envisaged the inclusion of physical education, sports, yoga and mental health in the educational contours, augmenting their existing position in the respective curricula.

Authors: Xiuli Li
Published: February 2023

This study investigated the effectiveness of bio-feedback techniques in improving English vocabulary learning in ESL learners. Bio-feedback is a technique that provides real-time information about an individual's physiological responses to external stimuli. In this study, bio-feedback was used to measure changes in skin conductance level (SCL) in response to English vocabulary learning tasks. The participants were 30 ESL learners from a language center at a university in China. They were randomly assigned to either an experimental group, which received bio-feedback during English vocabulary learning tasks, or a control group, which did not receive bio-feedback. Both groups received the same vocabulary learning tasks and were evaluated based on a pre-test and post-test design. The results showed that the experimental group had significantly higher improvement in English vocabulary learning than the control group. The findings suggest that bio-feedback techniques can be an effective tool in improving English vocabulary learning in ESL learners. Future studies could investigate the underlying physiological and psychological mechanisms of bio-feedback in English vocabulary learning and explore the potential of integrating bio-feedback into language learning technology.

However, different challenges are faced by the developers in promoting the development and innovations of medical commodities. Thus, this study was conducted to investigate different challenges in the development, funding, and reimbursement of medical innovations in Malaysia. For this purpose, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 7 developers from different public research and development (R&D) centers and biotechnology firms in Malaysia. After the interviews were conducted, their edited transcription was obtained, and thematic analysis was conducted, and different themes and sub-themes were formulated. The results obtained from this study showed that the lack of innovative environment, strategic compliances and effective funding structure negatively influences medical innovations in Malaysia. It has also been observed that poor reimbursement practices and policies and lack of pricing strategies by the Malaysian government impacts the ROI of the associated firms and developers. Thus, it has been recommended that mega-funds and reimbursement policies should be promoted to overcome these challenges in medical innovations.

This article presents the factors of entrepreneurial orientation, operand resources, and learning orientation in a new light where the factors were interlinked with customer performance of USA’s biotechnology firm’s customer performance.  Specifically, the moderation of learning orientation between OPR, EO, and CP was a novel approach as few studies have considered these linkages. The study was carried out within the biotechnology sector of USA and data was collected from upper management who had decisive roles in development of policies and processes of their organizations. A structured questionnaire was used by the researcher to collect data from 262 employees and SPSS was used to analyze the causal linkages among the data. The findings indicated that OPR and EO are functional for improved CP. Also, the presence of LO within the management results in increased CP, however the interaction of EO and LO was negative. The practical, theoretical, and managerial implication of the study were discussed along with the limitations and future directions of the study.

The use of Digital Storytelling in education presents great benefits given its multiformat nature and the motivation it awakens in students, especially at the early childhood level. The purpose of this research is to analyze the use of Digital Storytelling (DST) in its 2D and Augmented Reality versions and to establish comparisons between both possibilities for the development of creativity at the preschool level. The type of design of this research was "pre-experimental" pretest-posttest type. The participants were 70 children from the Peruvian "casa cuna", whose ages corresponded to 5 and 6 years old. The 44.3% were girls and 55.7% were boys. A test of children's creativity was applied. The main result obtained was the increase in the scores achieved in the post-test in the 2D and 3D modalities, with more significant differences in the DST experience with augmented reality.

For various reasons, despite previous linguistic, formatting, and other checks, beginner-authored or multi-authored manuscripts may be rushed to submission while lacking consistency. This article provides a clear outline of the final round of checks for section consistency, subsection consistency, and overall coherence that a scientific manuscript should undergo before submission. Checks for consistency should target the following: consistency between full and short titles; the exact answer in conclusion to research objectives (questions) and matching between methods and results in the abstract; consistency from a comprehensive view of the research field to the announcement of a single specific objective in the introduction section; coherence between methods and results sections and between results and illustrations in the rest of the text; and, recalls of the objective, the results, and the conclusions in the discussion section. Finally, consistency should be ensured between the various sections of the abstract and those of the manuscript, with the ideal abstract being a true miniature of the manuscript. An original figure provides a handy visual checklist authors might use to implement and achieve manuscript drafting. This round of checks increases readability, comprehensibility, confidence in the results, and the credibility of the authors. Subsequently, confidence and credibility will increase the probability of publication and the visibility of a whole team’s work.

Published: February 2023

Purpose: This study investigated how well current open access (OA) diamond journals in the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) and a survey conform to Plan S requirements, including licenses, peer review, author copyright, unique article identifiers, digital archiving, and machine-readable licenses.Methods: Data obtained from DOAJ journals and surveyed journals from mid-June to mid-July 2020 were analyzed for a variety of Plan S requirements. The results were presented using descriptive statistics.Results: Out of 1,465 journals that answered, 1,137 (77.0%) reported compliance with the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) principles. The peer review types used by OA diamond journals were double-blind (6,339), blind (2,070), peer review (not otherwise specified, 1,879), open peer review (42), and editorial review (118) out of 10,449 DOAJ journals. An author copyright retention policy was adopted by 5,090 out of 10,448 OA diamond journals (48.7%) in DOAJ. Of the unique article identifiers, 5,702 (54.6%) were digital object identifiers, 58 (0.6%) were handles, and 14 (0.1%) were uniform resource names, while 4,675 (44.7%) used none. Out of 1,619 surveyed journals, the archiving solutions were national libraries (n=170, 10.5%), Portico (n=67, 4.1%), PubMed Central (n=15, 0.9%), PKP PN (n=91, 5.6%), LOCKSS (n=136, 8.4%), CLOCKSS (n=87, 5.4%), the National Computing Center for Higher Education (n=6, 0.3%), others (n=69, 4.3%), no policy (n=855, 52.8%), and no reply (n=123, 7.6%). Article-level metadata deposition was done by 8,145 out of 10,449 OA diamond journals (78.0%) in DOAJ.Conclusion: OA diamond journals’ compliance with industry standards exemplified by the Plan S technical requirements was insufficient, except for the peer review type.
