The prediction model for advertising campaigns in IPTV networks based on the possibilities of displaying geographically targeted messages
Authors: Chmielewska Aleksandra Maria , Grabowski Marcin Tomasz
Published: November 2024

Subject and purpose of work

This paper presents a novel predictive model for advertising campaigns in IPTV networks that uses the advanced geolocation-based display of advertising messages. Thanks to advanced data analysis and modern geolocation technologies, the proposed model enables the more precise planning and optimisation of advertising campaigns. Advertisers can thus better understand the preferences and behaviours of audiences in different geographical regions. This allows the creation of more tailored and engaging content of programmes and advertisements, leading to higher levels of viewer engagement in the content presented and increasing the effectiveness of campaigns.

Materials and methods

For the purposes of the project, data from the IPTV advertising campaign covering from 50,000 to 500,000 displays between 23rd January 2024 and 20th March 2024 were used. The TERYT database and the list of counties were used to increase the precision of target group targeting. Viewer rating and interaction data were collected and analysed to assess the effectiveness of the campaign. The methodology included monitoring the number of channel switches, advertising message views, complete views, the average display time of the advertising message and unique reach in different time periods.

Results

The results of the test of the advertising campaign based on switching channels using a remote control show that increasing the number of ad plays clearly improves the effectiveness of reaching the audience. In the beginning, with fewer displays, the chances of an ad being noticed by viewers are moderate. However, as the number of displays increases, these chances increase exponentially, reaching nearly 45% at 500,000 ad plays.The analysis of these results is very important for the effective planning of advertising campaigns. Thanks to these data, advertisers can determine more accurately the number of displays that needs to be planned in order to achieve their marketing goals. The significant increase in the likelihood of reaching the audience with a bigger number of displays indicates that investing in additional views can be cost-effective and lead to the better use of the advertising budget.

Conclusions

The project confirmed that precise targeting and optimisation of the number of displays in IPTV advertising campaigns significantly increase the effectiveness of the advertisements. The high rate of complete views and the wide reach of the advertisements attest to the effectiveness of the strategy used. The test results show that smart campaign planning in IPTV can lead to better audience engagement and the more efficient use of the advertising budget. These findings suggest that IPTV has great potential as a modern advertising medium, offering advertisers the tools to effectively reach specific target groups and increase their engagement.

Authors: Joshi Jibin C , Chavan Aparna G , Sidam Shaila , Sahoo Anjan Kumar
Published: November 2024

BACKGROUND. Foreign bodies of paranasal sinuses are very rare in ENT clinical practice.

CASE REPORT. We will discuss the case of a 38-year-old gentleman who showed up at our Emergency Room with loss of vision in his left eye following a blast injury. The initial physical examination identified a ruptured globe in the left eye, which caused left-eye blindness. An immediate plain X-ray revealed a metallic object lodged in the left maxillary sinus, reaching up to the left sphenoid sinus. The external approach was used to manage the patient surgically, with no intra- or postoperative complications.

CONCLUSION. Inadequate managing of foreign bodies in the paranasal sinuses might result in significant morbidity. They must be removed surgically, either endoscopically or via an external method.
Investigating Calcareous and Silica Sand Behavior at Material Interfaces: A Comprehensive Study
Authors: Ahmadi Abolghasem , Nozari Mohammad Amin , Bayat Meysam , Delavari Ehsan
Published: November 2024

This study centers on the crucial determination of the mobilized friction angle between soil and various materials, including steel and concrete, to enhance the modeling of soil-structure interaction. The primary objective of the current investigation was to assess the interfacial friction between calcareous and silica sands when interacting with concrete or steel surfaces. To achieve this, direct shear tests were conducted to examine the impacts of relative density (Dr), surface roughness (Rn), and shearing direction. The test results reveal that the shear strength of calcareous sand surpasses that of silica sand when considering a specific Rn. Furthermore, the interface friction of both sand types escalates with an increase in normal stress and Rn, with higher values observed in interactions with steel plates. Notably, the friction angle ratio (the interaction friction angle over the pure sand friction angle) demonstrates minimal dependence on the sand type. The most pronounced divergence in the friction angle ratio is evident at the maximum Rn value, which increases alongside Rn values for both calcareous and siliceous sands. With increasing Rn values, the maximum shear strength, contingent on normal stress and relative density, also rises. The influence of relative density on the interaction friction angle diminishes with escalating surface roughness.
Fostering Creativity in Order to Develop Mental Model Templates for Planning in National Emergencies
Authors: Lappas Dimitrios , Karampelas Panagiotis
Published: November 2024

National Emergencies set the need for quick responses and actions from all institutions that are responsible for national security and/or citizens’ health. Course of action development as part of mitigation planning in such situations, is a complex and difficult procedure because of the uncertainty of the future events, the risk associated with decisions for human actions and the time pressure because of the emergency. This means that planning for addressing national emergencies is not a common and simple task. Moreover, because emergencies appear seldom, most of the stakeholders have lack of experience. Thus, they need more time to assimilate the incoming information into their mission planning process and finally to propose the appropriate courses of actions. An antidote to the above difficulties can be the appropriate training in combination with the enhancement of the creativity of the stakeholders. In order to address that, we propose a novel methodology of creating mind map templates, based on creativity techniques, for specific operations that can be applied to national emergencies. Our methodology, called “MEMOS”, was developed according to the relative theoretical frameworks and then tested with a case study, including hypothetical security scenarios in national emergency situations. The proposed templates can be used as inspiration tools or idea tanks in order to guide and speed up the process of course of action development in mitigation planning for similar future security operations.

Authors: Quint Eric
Published: November 2024

Unprecedented political, economic, health and environmental challenges in the world have made us react and reflect on things we have taken for granted. Companies and organizations became aware that proven approaches were no longer working, while the rapidly changing environments in which they operated required new momentum. Those driven by design were able to anticipate alternative approaches and used collaborative creativity and design thinking to shift their mindset and came up with creative solutions that kept their brands meaningful and relevant.      This industry letter promotes the need for design to drive collaborative creativity among key stakeholders and its innovation ecosystem to the systemic level necessary to address these world challenges. It will further elaborate on the preconditions necessary for effective collaboration to become responsible partners that drive sustainable growth, balanced with care for humanity and the planet.    The impact and value of design is determined by its design leadership and depends on how it is connected, aligned and integrated, first within the design function itself, second across the other business functions and third beyond the boundaries of the company in partnerships with other stakeholders. Understanding and aligning the key drivers and success factors of different stakeholder groups will be a prerequisite for making collaborative creativity work effectively and navigating the innovation ecosystem driving long-term societal progress.

Authors: Messaoui Imene , Aichour Boujemaa , Noui Nassira
Published: November 2024

Objectives: The rapid and uncontrolled urban growth in Sétif, northeastern Algeria, has resulted in horizontal densification, continual expansion, and the conversion of agricultural land into urban areas. This transformation highlights the need for effective territorial strategies to manage urban growth sustainably. The primary objective of this study is to promote urban densification through concepts like "inward urbanisation" and "building the city within the city," aiming to optimise land use and counter the negative impacts of urban sprawl.
 
Methods: To address the challenges of urban sprawl and its environmental impacts, the study employs a morphological approach. A Geographic Information System (GIS) is utilised in conjunction with data from the General Census of Population and Housing (RGPH) to analyse spatiotemporal changes in Sétif. This methodological approach enables a detailed examination of the city's morphological and demographic evolution, providing insights into patterns of urban expansion and densification.
 
Results: The findings reveal various strategies for urban development in Sétif, focusing on alternatives to traditional urban density and sprawl. The study identifies and suggests the implementation of new, dense, and hybrid urban forms that align with sustainable development goals. These urban forms are designed to enhance the city’s livability while respecting societal needs and environmental considerations. The strategies proposed address the necessity for adaptable urban designs that support a more compact, resource-efficient city model.
 
Conclusion: This research underscores the importance of rethinking urban planning strategies to manage rapid urbanisation in Sétif. The proposed strategies are essential for transforming Sétif into a dense, sustainable, and appealing urban environment. The study advocates for a shift from expansive urban growth to a densification model that promotes sustainability and aligns with the evolving expectations of the city’s residents.

Published: November 2024

Objective: The aim of this study is to develop smoked salamis (cold and hot) from mechanically separated meat (MSM) of tilapia, and to evaluate their acceptance through sensory analysis.
 
Theoretical Framework: With the increase in fish production, large quantities of fish by-products are also generated, such as carcasses, heads, fillets, among others with high nutritional value that can be used in human and animal nutrition.
 
Method: The methodology adopted for this research includes a control formulation subjected to smoking (cold and hot), and two others with the inclusion of 10 and 20% of CMS in natura, totaling four treatments. In the dehydration process, the salamis were weighed and subjected to pre-drying in a forced ventilation oven for three hours at 55ºC. Then, they were placed in a stainless steel smoker that produced smoke by burning sawdust (4h/55ºC). The cold smoking process was carried out using 20% of liquid smoke/volume of water, where the salamis were immersed for 15 minutes, drained and taken to the oven (4h/55ºC). At the end of the process, the weight loss of the sausages was calculated and sensory analyses were performed, where 50 untrained judges evaluated the products in terms of acceptance and purchase intention.
 
Results and Discussion: The results obtained revealed that total losses ranged from 16.71 to 32.79%. The type of smoking influenced the acceptance of the salamis (p<0.05), where color and aroma were the parameters that presented the highest values for hot-smoked salamis, as observed for purchase intention.
 
Research Implications: Fish salamis enriched with fish protein sources are an excellent alternative for human nutrition, as they represent an excellent nutritional source for people who are concerned about healthy foods. There are several studies using animal protein sources such as fish to prepare healthy and easy-to-prepare foods, since due to people's fast-paced routines today, they need quick and healthy foods.
 
Originality/value: this study contributes to the literature by highlighting the supplementation of food with processed fish by-products and enhanced in the form of fish sausages.

Authors: Ralnikova A. Yu. , Bezhenar V. F. , Arakelyan B. V. , Gabelova K. A. , Linde V. A. , Molchanov O. L.
Published: November 2024

Introduction. This article raises the issue of planning the timing and method of operative delivery in pregnant women with placenta accreta spectrum. Placenta accreta spectrum is one of the most formidable complications of pregnancy, the delivery of pregnant women with this pathology is accompanied by massive blood loss, and programmed late premature birth leads to an increase in perinatal morbidity.

The objective was to evaluate the possibility of prolonging pregnancy to full term in patients with pathology of placenta accreta spectrum.

Methods and materials. 94 histories of pregnant women with placenta accreta spectrum, delivered from 2017 to 2023, were analyzed. All patients were divided into 4 groups according to the topography of placenta accreta. According to the assessment of perinatal outcomes, pregnant women were divided into 2 groups: group 1 – pregnant women who delivered at 34–36 weeks of pregnancy (n=82; 87 %); group 2 – patients operated on from 37 to 39 weeks of gestation (n=12; 13 %). The statistical analysis was performed using the program StatTech v. 4.2.7.

Results. Among pregnant women whose delivery ended with hysterectomy (n=32, 100 %), the largest proportion of patients had placenta accreta in the area of the parametrium and cervix (n=12, 43.75 %). The average score of newborns in group 1 was 7 points on the Apgar scale at 1 minute after extraction and 8 points on the Apgar scale at 5 minutes; in group

2, the average score on the Apgar scale was 8 and 8 points at 1 and 5 minutes.

Conclusion. If placenta accreta is suspected and involves the cervix, parametrium, and lower part of the posterior wall of the bladder, a hysterectomy is most likely to be performed. For such pregnant women, it is possible to shift the timing of surgical intervention to 37/38 weeks of gestation in order to improve neonatal outcomes.

Published: November 2024

Introduction. Numerous data on increased risk of stroke in people with multiple sclerosis (MS) needs clarification in view of shared pathogenesis and immunotherapy risks.

The objective was to assess risk factors, prevalence and misdiagnosis of stroke in MS patients for future prevention optimization.

Methods and materials. Cross-sectional retrospective study of risk factors, prevalence and misdiagnosis of stroke in cohort of 563 MS patients aged 40 years and older.

Results. The cohort under study was representative in terms of gender ratio and MS variants. Stroke rate established as 1.78 % in MS type and gender representative cohort. Ischemic stroke was in 9/10 cases and ischemic venous stroke with hemorrhage in 1/10. Stroke misdiagnosis at MS first presentation estimated as 1.95 %. Stroke risk factors seems to be less prevalent in MS cohort compared to general population, with ischemic heart disease (OR=23.9) and arterial hypertension (OR=7.2) as most significant risk indicators.

Conclusion. Stroke prevalence in MS patients may be lower than that in general population. Low rate of arterial hypertension (25.4 %), ischemic heart disease (3.4 %), smoking (10.7 %), diabetes mellitus (3.2 %), and obesity (9.1 %) may influence stroke low rate in MS. Arterial hypertension and ischemic heart disease are the most significant stroke risk factors in MS.

Background:

Extra-nodal diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is an exceedingly uncommon disease.

Case Presentation:

Herein, we report a case of a 60-year-old male patient who presented with DLBCL of the left leg, and involving the gastrocnemius muscle. The patient received CHOP regimen-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy (i.e., six courses of cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone), which reduced the tumor size to the point where complete resection became possible. Afterward, the tumor was completely resected. The tumor bed subsequently received conventional radiotherapy (i.e., 36 Gy/18 fractions). The patient is being followed up regularly and has remained disease-free for over 1.5 years.

Conclusion:

This case demonstrates that DLBCL is an aggressive malignancy but can be efectively managed with multi-modality treatment strategy.

Authors: Bıyıklar Bahar , Namlı Bilmez Zehra
Published: November 2024

Kentler, insan yaşamında sürdürülebilirliğin sağlanması için önemli alanlardır. Bu bağlamda özellikle afete dirençlilik konusunda kentsel dönüşümün önemi dikkat çekmektedir. Kentsel dönüşüm, kentin önemli bir kısmının proje kapsamında mevcut yapı stoklarının olası depreme karşı incelenmesi ve çalışmalar yapılması sürecidir. Kentsel dönüşüm ilki 1953 olmak üzere çeşitli yasalara konu olmuş ve son olarak 2012 yılında 6306 sayılı “Afet Riski Altındaki Alanların Dönüştürülmesi Hakkında Kanun” düzenlenmiş ve afetlere dirençlilik kapsamında gerekliliği vurgulanmıştır. Ancak Türkiye’de 6 Şubat ve 20 Şubat tarihlerinde yaşanan depremler kentsel dönüşümün ehemmiyetini hatırlatmış ve 9 Kasım 2023 tarihinde “Afet Riski Altındaki Alanların Dönüştürülmesi Hakkındaki Kanun İle Bazı Kanunlarda ve 375 Sayılı Kanun Hükmünde Kararnamede Değişiklik Yapılmasına Dair Kanun” kabul edilmiştir. Bu bağlamda çalışmada afete dirençlilikte kentsel dönüşümün yasal dayanaklarının incelenmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda Türkiye’de kentsel dönüşümün yasal dayanakları 1950-1980, 1980-2000 ve 2000 sonrası olmak üzere dönemlendirilerek incelenmiştir. Sonuç olarak kentsel dönüşüm alanında çıkarılan yasaların günün koşulları çerçevesinde geliştirildiği, değişen ve gelişen kentsel ihtiyaçlar çerçevesinde şekillendirildiği tespit edilmiştir. Nitekim ülke topraklarının %96’sının deprem tehlikesi altında olması sebebiyle kentsel dönüşüm kararlarının daha hızlı alınması ve uyuşmazlıkların çözümüne ilişkin sürecin etkin bir şekilde yürütülmesinin zorunluluk arz ettiği tespit edilmiştir.
El derecho al agua. De las corrientes globales a los cauces nacionales
Authors: Orozco Cañas Cecilia
Published: November 2024

Este libro se centra en la concepción, el ejercicio y la aplicación jurídica de la protección del agua y esboza asimismo la lógica y las relaciones que se pueden construir en campos interdisciplinarios, para apoyar la difusión, el conocimiento y los instrumentos que nos ayuden a conservar la naturaleza excepcional de un país que en poco tiempo ha perdido sus bosques y riquezas hídricas, a la sombra de falaces propuestas económicas que están acabando con las fuentes de vida. Paradójicamente, nuestra carta magna, a pesar de que ha tenido múltiples reformas desde su promulgación en 1991, no contempla directamente los derechos al saneamiento y al agua, el más importante de los derechos, del cual se deriva la vida y es origen de otros derechos. El derecho al agua: De las corrientes globales a los cauces nacionales presenta los mecanismos jurídicos para defender este derecho y tratar de que se incluya en nuestra Constitución Política, con miras a obtener el estatus de un derecho fundamental, de aplicación inmediata, obligatoria y con efectos vitales.
Comparison of Approaches to the Systematization and Presentation of Punctuation Rules in Compound Sentences in Two Sources (“Rules of Russian Orthography and Punctuation” 1956 and “Rules of Russian Orthography and Punctuation: Complete Academic Handbook”)
Authors: Ni Xuejiao
Published: November 2024

The subject of this study is the punctuation rules for compound sentences as presented in two sources: the 1956 “Rules of Russian Orthography and Punctuation” and the “Complete Academic Handbook” edited by V. V. Lopatin. The objective is to examine the different approaches to presenting punctuation rules for compound sentences in these two sources, as well as their impact on user comprehension and practical application. The author carefully explores aspects such as the grouping of all punctuation rules, the terminology used in formulating rules, the structure and presentation of rules for compound sentences, (non)correspondence between examples and rules, consistency within each source, and completeness in accounting for exceptions and complex cases. Special attention is given to the differences in how each source represents rules for complex cases, the explanatory methods for examples, and their influence on the precision of rule application for users. The methodology of this study includes a comparative analysis of the punctuation rules for compound sentences found in these two sources, focusing on rule structure and formulation, terminology, and example correspondence. The scientific novelty lies in the comparative analysis of the formulations and systematization of punctuation rules for compound sentences across two key reference sources, the 1956 Rules and the Complete Academic Handbook (PAS), each representing different stages in the development of Russian written language norms. This study reveals shifts in rule presentation and codification principles and identifies the challenges users face when interpreting norms from each source. The study’s findings indicate that PAS offers a more flexible, detailed system with scientific commentary, simplifying understanding and application of rules in modern contexts.
Changes in Acromiohumeral Distance with Clinician-Applied and Self-Applied Inferior Glenohumeral Joint Mobilizations Measured Using Ultrasound Imaging
Authors: Wynne Sydney , Hickok Raegan , Stump Catherine , Andraka John M.
Published: November 2024

OBJECTIVE: To measure the change in acromiohumeral distance during clinician-applied and self-applied manual shoulder joint mobilization. We hypothesized that the acromiohumeral distance would be significantly greater with clinician-applied manual joint mobilizations (MJM) than with self-applied joint mobilization (SJM).

DESIGN: Within-subject, repeated-measures design.

METHODS: Nineteen healthy adults (mean age: 22.9 ± 1.2 years) participated. A traction force of 15% body weight was applied during MJM and SJM. Acromiohumeral distance was measured via ultrasound imaging at rest (baseline) and during the 2 test conditions (2 trials each) to quantify inferior accessory motion. The transducer was placed at the anterolateral border of the acromion, and the subacromial space was clearly visualized for acromiohumeral distance measurements.

RESULTS: The ICC for acromiohumeral distance measurements ranged from 0.876 to 0.963. Changes in acromiohumeral distance during MJM (3.90 ± 0.51 mm) were significantly greater than SJM (1.68 ± 0.49 mm, P <.001). Acromiohumeral distance changes between sexes: MJM (female: 3.16 ± 0.58 mm, male: 5.15 ± 0.90 mm, P = .060), SJM (female: 0.88 ± 0.51 mm, male 3.05 ± 0.90 mm, P = .029).

CONCLUSIONS: Our acromiohumeral distance measurement methodology had excellent test-retest reliability. There was significantly more inferior humeral accessory motion with MJM than SJM. The acromiohumeral distance was 132% greater during MJM and was unchanged or less than resting baseline measurements in almost a third of participants during SJM. JOSPT Open 2025;3(2):1-7.

Identifying and analyzing variables in musculoskeletal healthcare research
Authors: Raghuwanshi Anjali , Srivastav Adarsh K.
Published: November 2024

This review intends to help the students and researchers to organize, write, and analyze to make a quality research paper and to know the importance of variables in healthcare clinicians/researchers. Variables are fundamental components of the research question, serving as properties that distinguish members of groups or sets. They explain the different aspects of the sample that is under study. Variables are capable of having multiple values. Variables vary from subject to subject in the sample. A variable is a fundamental concept in research, representing a concept, image, or perception that can take different measurable values. Research design (RD) involves comparing independent groups or conditions, exploring predictive relationships, experimental studies for causal links, and comparative studies with multiple independent variables (IVs) or dependent variables (DVs). Variables play a crucial role in research and are broadly classified into causal relationships, study design, and units of measurement. IV is predictors that influence outcomes known as DV. Extraneous variables are unrelated but impactful. Moderating variables alter the relationship between IV and DV. Intervening variables or confounding variables (CVs) can complicate the cause-and-effect relationships. Active variables are manipulated, while attribute variables, inherent traits such as age, cannot be controlled. Even tests are based on variables. This review provides a comprehensive guide for students and young researchers to understand the role of variables and RD in conducting quality research papers, emphasizing the importance of operationalizing variables, controlling for CVs, and selecting appropriate RDs.
Проблемы рассмотрения гражданских дел о причинении вреда здоровью и жизни граждан вследствие применения лекарственных средств
Authors: И.В. Баринова
Published: November 2024

В статье рассматриваются ключевые условия, при которых наступает гражданско-правовая ответственность медицинских организаций при причинении вреда здоровью вследствие применения лекарственных препаратов. Автор выделяет такие условия, как вред и наличие вины как основания для наступления гражданско-правовой ответственности. Приводятся конкретные примеры из судебной практики по гражданским делам о компенсации морального вреда в связи с установлением судом фактов ненадлежащего оказания ответчиком лечебно-диагностической помощи, а также возмещения вреда здоровью граждан, причиненного некачественным оказанием медицинской помощи. Отмечается незначительное количество гражданских дел о возмещении вреда здоровью вследствие применения лекарственных препаратов. Как правило, по таким делам отказывают в удовлетворении исковых требований в связи с проблемами доказывания причинно-следственной связи между причиненным вредом и применением лекарственного средства и возложением бремени доказывания на истца.

The article examines the key conditions under which civil liability of medical organizations occurs in the event of harm to health due to the use of drugs. The author highlights such conditions as harm and the presence of guilt as the basis for the occurrence of civil liability. Specific examples of judicial practice in civil cases are given - decisions and rulings of courts of various instances on compensation for moral damage, based on the results of establishing by the court the facts of improper provision of medical and diagnostic care by the defendant, as well as compensation for harm to the health of citizens caused by poor-quality medical care. In conclusion, a conclusion is made about the small number of civil cases on compensation for harm to health due to the use of drugs. As a rule, in such cases, claims are refused due to problems of proving a causal relationship between the harm caused and the use of the drug, placing the burden of proof on the plaintiff.

TEACHING POLYPHONIC TECHNIQUES TO CHINESE STUDENTS USING PIANO ENSEMBLES OF CHINESE COMPOSERS
Authors: XIE J.
Published: November 2024

Chinese piano music is a unique phenomenon. Developing under the influence of Western European culture, it has not lost its uniqueness and national identity. Polyphony as a structure of multi-voice music is not characteristic of Chinese piano music, however, elements of polyphonic artistic expressiveness are present in composers’ works quite often. Their use is connected with the solution of a specific artistic problem in each individual work, form- building, as well as with the effective emphasis on the features of intonation, rhythm, and national colour of Chinese music. In musicology, the concept of “Chinese style” appeared, which synthesised the components of national, regional, genre style and even the style of an era into one musical system. The “Chinese style” has become a label for the national cultural identity of Chinese piano music in the world music art. Piano ensemble is a genre that occupies a significant place in the work of Chinese composers. It reflected the traditions and innovations of the “Chinese style”, including in the aspect of the use of polyphonic techniques.
Kompensatorische Bemühungen in der Erwachsenenbildung
Authors: Adili Kushtrim , Eser Davolio Miryam
Published: November 2024

Der Fokus dieses Artikels liegt auf einer kritischen Metanalyse von empirischen Studien zu den kompensatorischen Bemühungen zur Förderung von Grundkompetenzen Erwachsener, um den Spätfolgen von Ungleichheit im Schweizer Bildungssystem entgegenzuwirken. Dabei zeigt sich, dass Kompetenzdefizite bei den sogenannten Bildungsverlierer*innen oft zu Bildungsabkehr, Scham und Schulvermeidung führen. Um sie zu erreichen, setzen Bund und Kantone auf eine kompensatorische Strategie mit niederschwelligen, non-formalen Bildungsangeboten. Diese richten sich an den spezifischen und individuellen Bedürfnissen der Betroffenen aus, nehmen auf ihre schambesetzten Schulerfahrungen Rücksicht und versuchen sie wieder anschlussfähig zu machen. Aus bildungssoziologischer, rassismuskritischer und intersektionaler Perspektive lassen sich die Folgewirkungen von Ungleichheit meist auf ungleiche Startvoraussetzungen zurückführen und Scham als wirkmächtiger Exklusionsmechanismus spielt eine wichtige Rolle. Es stellt sich die Frage, ob es sich unsere Wissensgesellschaft leisten kann, Menschen zurückzulassen, um sie später wieder mit grossem Aufwand abzuholen, oder ob das auf Selektion ausgelegte Schweizer Bildungssystem mit seinen Exklusionsrisiken grundsätzlich zu überdenken ist.
