In the present study experiments were conducted inthe lab to investigate the efficiency of stock solutions obtained from the herbs of Moringa Oleifera (Drum sticks) , Okra gum , and the mucilage isolated from the dry flowers of C.Procera as flocculent for the treatment of turbid water samples containing synthetic turbidity caused by clay materials. Jar test experiments were carried out for high(250NTU and 500NTU), low levels (15NTU,30NTU and 50 NTU) and medium level(100NTU) of turbidity with the flocculent dosages of 0mg/l 2.5mg/l ,5.0mg/l ,7.5mg/l ,10.0mg/l ,12.5mg/l ,15.0mg/l for Moringa Oleifera , Okra and C.Procera. The results have been compared with the results of alum. The supernatant turbidities obtained from this phase of the study were > 5 NTU. In the next phase again jar tests results were obtained from adding nearly 50% optimum dose of the natural coagulant was kept as constant and dosage of alum was varied. The supernatant turbidities obtained from this study were nearly equal to 5 NTU. (Guide line value recommended by WHO).

Published: April 2022

Purpose: Massive multi-core architecture is rapidly becoming the standard in digital technology due to its high and parallel computational capability and performance benefits. To fully utilize the technological capabilities of multi-core systems, system software such as compilers should be re-engineered for parallel processing. Several important contributions have been made in the past to enhance the efficiency of the lexical analysis process by leveraging the innate parallel processing capability of multi-core computers. This trend of implementation shows that a parallel lexical analyzer tends to perform lexing tasks better than a conventional sequential lexical analyzer. This article discusses the way of making the tasks in parallel during the scanning of source program in the phase of lexical analysis. The objective of this study is to explore how to perform lexical analysis in parallel. On multi-core processors, multiple processes of the lexical analyzer program can run concurrently to scan multiple lines in the input stream in parallel for token detection. This is done by allocating tasks line-by-line to the core which is not engaged yet.
Design/Methodology/Approach: Developing a theoretical and experimental approach for parallelizing the lexical scanning process on a multi-core system.
Findings/Result: According to the theoretical and experimental results, the proposed methodology significantly outperforms the sequential approach in terms of tokenization. It considerably reduces the time required for lexical analysis during the compilation process. The result establishes unequivocally that the parallel lexical analyzer's performance should scale linearly with the number of cores. It is clearly observed that the speedup is expected to increase further if the number of CPU cores increases. This enhancement would speed up the compilation process even more.
Originality/Value: A dynamic task allocation algorithm is developed for the concurrent execution of a lexical analyzer task on multi-core systems.
Paper Type: Experimental Research.

A study to determine the predictors of tuberculosis defaulting and the evaluation of the DOTS programme within the eThekwini Municipality
Authors:   , Rajagopaul Althea
Published: April 2022

Worldwide Tuberculosis (TB) is a major public health concern. The Directly Observed Treatment Strategy (DOTS) has been used widely internationally and in South Africa (SA) to control the disease yet defaulting on treatment has still not achieved its World Health Organization (WHO) guideline of 5.0%. The eThekwini Municipality reported a defaulter rate of 18.9% in 2007 even with the adoption of DOTS in 1996. This study aimed to investigate the predictors of default amongst informal dwellers of eThekwini and to evaluate the implementation and the efficiency of the DOTS programme within the eThekwini Municipality, KwaZulu-Natal (KZN), and SA. The study population comprised of 102 defaulters from informal settlement, 16 nurses and 5 health personnel that are involved in TB management and control. The study was a mixed method cross sectional descriptive study that generated both quantitative and qualitative data. The Cyril Zulu Communicable Disease Centre (CDC) Electronic TB Register was used to trace the defaulters from the informal settlements that were interviewed. Non-defaulters were matched from the CDC Electronic TB Register but could not be traced due to accessibility and financial issues. Due to the low response from nurses 16(53%), semi structured qualitative interviews were conducted with health personnel. The three sets of data generated were analysed using descriptive statistics and content analysis. Multivariate logistic regression models found smoking, drinking and having a family member with TB as statistical significant predictors of default. Based on the multivariate model with a 95% confidence interval (CI), smoking (OR: 11.23, CI: 5.79, 21.78; p<0.005), alcohol consumption (OR: 15.22; CI: 7.66, 30.25; p<0.005) and had family member with TB (OR: 4.60, CI: 2.34, 9.04; p<0.005) were all significantly associated with defaulting. It was apparent that DOTS implementation was partly implemented due to lack of human resources. Tracing of defaulters, DOTS supporters, DOTS sites and incentives to patients and volunteers were major challenges hindering the iv effective implementation of the DOTS programme in eThekwini. Defaulting occurs as a result of an association between patient and health care characteristics. This study provides useful information specific to predictors of default amongst informal dwellers and the implementation and efficiency of the DOTS programme specific to informal settlements. The results from this study could be used to improve TB control and management specifically in informal settlements addressing factors that predict default and tracing and supporting patients to ensure adherence to TB treatment.
Chiropractors' inter- and intra-examiner reliability of cervical spine radiographic analysis and its impact on clinical management
Authors:   , Marais Carla
Published: April 2022

BACKGROUND: Plain film radiography is the most common imaging technique requested by chiropractors to assist in the management of patients with musculoskeletal complaints. There is a paucity literature indicating that chiropractors’ interpretive radiographic skills are consistently able to achieve the same outcome given a particular set of radiographs. An important indication for the use of radiography in chiropractic is to exclude any possible contraindications to spinal manipulative therapy (SMT) that could cause serious injury to a patient if it is left unmodified or excluded as a treatment option. OBJECTIVES: The study aimed to investigate the inter- and intra-examiner reliability of chiropractor’s diagnosis on cervical spine radiographs. Additionally, the effect of clinical history added to the radiographs was assessed. METHODS: Inter- and intra-examiner evaluations occurred on two consecutive readings of 30 radiographs by six qualified chiropractors. No clinical history was given during Round One, but was available during Round Two. RESULTS: The inter-observer agreement for categorisation and management went from “poor agreement” in Round One (Κ=0.1962 and Κ=0.1996 respectively) to “fair agreement” (Κ= 0.2041 and Κ=0.2036 respectively) beyond that expected by chance in Round Two. Identification remained “fair agreement” beyond that expected by chance over both rounds (Κ=0.3113 and Κ=0.2159). Sensitivity at Round One was 94.4% and the specificity was 61.1%. At Round Two the sensitivity had decreased to 93.8% and the specificity had decreased to 50%. There was no significant difference between the accuracy of the Round One and Round Two results for categorisation (p=0.243) and management (p=0.220), but there was a clinical difference for identification (p=0.014). iii CONCLUSION: Differences in the result were small indicating clinical relevance with regards to inter-examiner reliability was fair in most instances. Although clinical history did not influence categorisation or management, it did improve accuracy of identification of pathology. Chiropractors successfully identified between 93.8% and 94.4% of abnormal radiographic findings demonstrating that chiropractors use of radiographs as a diagnostic tool when looking for contraindications to spinal manipulative therapy was sensitive. This demonstrates that its use as a diagnostic tool for contraindications to spinal manipulative therapy (SMT) is sensitive.

Abstract. The Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) provides near real time forecast and reanalysis of aerosols using the ECMWF Integrated Forecasting System with atmospheric composition extension, constrained by the assimilation of MODIS and PMAp Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD). The objective of this work is to evaluate two new near real time AOD products to prepare their assimilation in CAMS, namely the Copernicus AOD from SLSTR (collection 1) on board Sentinel 3-A&B over ocean and the NOAA EPS AOD (v2.r1) from VIIRS on board S-NPP and NOAA-20 over both land and ocean. The differences between MODIS (C6.1), PMAp (v2.1), VIIRS (v2.r1) and SLSTR (C1) AOD as well as their departure with the modelled AOD were assessed at the model grid resolution (i.e. level-3), using 3-month AOD average (December 2019–February 2020 and March–May 2020). VIIRS and MODIS show the best consistency across the products, which is explained by instrument and retrieval algorithm similarities. VIIRS AOD is frequently lower over the ocean background and higher over biomass burning and dust source land regions compared to MODIS. VIIRS shows larger spatial coverage over land and resolves finer spatial structures such as the transport of Australian biomass burning smoke over the Pacific which can be explained by the higher spatial resolution of the VIIRS level-2 product and the use of a heavy aerosol detection test in the retrieval algorithm. Our results confirm the positive offset over ocean i) between TERRA/MODIS and AQUA/MODIS due to the non-corrected radiometric calibration degradation of TERRA/MODIS in the dark target algorithm and ii) between SNPP/VIIRS and NOAA20/VIIRS due to the positive bias in the solar reflective bands of SNPP/VIIRS. SLSTR AOD shows much smaller level-3 values than the rest of the products which is mainly related to differences in spatial representativity at the IFS grid spatial resolution due to the stringent cloud filtering applied to the SLSTR radiances. Finally, the geometry characteristics of the instrument, which drive the range of scattering angles sampled by the instrument, can explain a large part of the differences between retrievals such as the positive offset between PMAp data sets from METOP-B and METOP-A.
Allometric equations and wood density parameters for estimating aboveground and woody debris biomass in Cajander larch (Larix cajanderi) forests of Northeast Siberia
Authors: Delcourt Clement Jean Frédéric , Veraverbeke Sander
Published: April 2022

Abstract. Boreal forests are particularly vulnerable to climate warming which increases the occurrence of natural disturbances, such as fires and insect outbreaks. It is therefore essential to better understand climate-induced changes in boreal vegetation dynamics. This requires accurate estimates of variations in biomass across regions and time. This remains challenging in the extensive larch forests of Northeast Siberia because of the paucity of allometric equations and physical properties of woody debris needed for quantifying aboveground biomass pools from field surveys. Our study is the first to present values of mean squared diameter (MSD) and specific gravity that can be used to calculate fine dead and downed woody fuel loads in Cajander larch (Larix cajanderi) forests using the line-intersect sampling approach. These values were derived from field measurements collected in 25 sites in the Republic of Sakha, Russia, and compared with values reported for other prevalent boreal tree species. We developed allometric equations relating diameter at breast height (DBH) to stem wood, stem bark, branches, foliage, and aboveground biomass based on measurements of 63 trees retrieved from previous studies. Differences between our allometric models and existing equations were assessed in predicting larch aboveground biomass in 53 sites sampled in the Republic of Sakha. We found that using fine woody debris (FWD) parameters from other boreal tree species and allometric equations developed in other regions may result in significant underestimates of fuel biomass in larch-dominated forests of Northeast Siberia. The FWD parameters and allometric equations presented in our paper can be used to refine estimates of aboveground biomass in Cajander larch forests in Northeast Siberia.
An improved near real-time precipitation retrieval for Brazil
Authors: Pfreundschuh Simon , Ingemarsson Ingrid , Eriksson Patrick , Vila Daniel Alejandro , Calheiros Alan James P.
Published: April 2022

Abstract. Observations from geostationary satellites offer the unique ability to provide spatially continuous coverage at continental scales with high spatial and temporal resolution. Because of this, they are commonly used to complement ground-based measurements of precipitation, whose coverage is often more limited. We present a novel, neural-network-based, near real-time precipitation retrieval for Brazil based on visible and infrared (VIS/IR) observations from the Advanced Baseline Imager on the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite 16. The retrieval, which employs a convolutional neural network to perform Bayesian retrievals of precipitation, was developed with the aims of (1) leveraging the full potential of latest-generation geostationary observations and (2) providing probabilistic precipitation estimates with well-calibrated uncertainties. The retrieval is trained using co-locations with combined radar and radiometer retrievals from the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) Core Observatory. Its accuracy is assessed using one month of gauge measurements and compared to the precipitation retrieval that is currently in operational use at the Brazilian Institute for Space Research as well as two state-of-the-art global precipitation products: The Precipitation Estimation from Remotely Sensed Information using Artificial Neural Networks Cloud Classification System and the Integrated Multi-Satellite Retrievals for GPM (IMERG). Even in its most basic configuration, the accuracy of the proposed retrieval is similar to that of IMERG, which merges retrievals from VIS/IR and microwave observations with gauge measurements. In its most advanced configuration, the retrieval reduces the mean absolute error for hourly accumulations by 22 % compared the currently operational retrieval, by 50 % for the MSE and increases the correlation by 400 %. Compared to IMERG, the improvements correspond to 15 %, 15 % and 39 %, respectively. Furthermore, we show that the probabilistic retrieval is well calibrated against gauge measurements when differences in a priori distributions are accounted for. In addition to potential improvements in near real time precipitation estimation over Brazil, our findings highlight the potential of specialized data driven retrievals that are made possible through advances in geostationary sensor technology, the availability of high-quality reference measurements from the GPM mission and modern machine learning techniques. Furthermore, our results show the potential of probabilistic precipitation retrievals to better characterize the observed precipitation and provide more trustworthy retrieval results.
Peatlands in a latitudinal gradient: links between microbial composition and organic matter degradation
Authors: Mora-Gomez Juanita , M. Alajmi Fatemah Enad , Jesus Orlando Jesus Orlando , Kang Hojeong , Freeman Christopher
Published: April 2022

Microbial breakdown of organic matter (OM) is slowed down by different environmental conditions in peatlands, such as low pH, low oxygen availability and presence of phenolic compounds, leading to their recognized carbon storage function (Freeman et al. 2001, Kang et al. 2018). Peatlands are worldwide distributed with environmental conditions and biogeographical legacy varying among regions, which determine different controlling factors of microbial OM degradation and affect carbon cycling and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from peat soils. Here, we present the results of a study aimed at investigating the structure and function of microbial communities involved in the OM decomposition in moss-dominated peatlands of tropical (Andes-Paramo, Colombia), temperate (Wales, UK), and arctic (Svalbard, Norway) regions. Prokaryote community, extracellular enzyme activity, and GHG (carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide) production were assessed in peat soil (first 10 cm depth) collected in one sampling campaign by region (summer north hemisphere). Results showed contrasting prokaryote communities among regions and a clear link between microbial composition and OM degrading metabolism. Arctic peatlands in Svalbard were shallow, circumneutral, with the highest prokaryote diversity (aerobic and anaerobic), an active lignin degradation, production of carbon dioxide, and nitrous oxide. In Wales, peatlands exhibited the lowest pH, an intermediate diversity of prokaryotes, with aerobic and anaerobic groups, and very low OM degrading activity and GHG production. Finally, in the Paramo’s peatlands, the oxygen level was the lowest and consequently prokaryote community was dominated by anaerobic groups with an active anaerobic OM degradation and methane production. Our study is the first, to the extent of our knowledge, giving a comparative view of microbial OM decomposition in peatlands from contrasting and remote regions. Our results highlight the great global diversity of prokaryotes and microbial metabolism and give new lights on the relationship between microbial composition and microbial carbon cycling in peatlands.

Large-scale risk assessment on snow avalanche hazard in alpine regions
Authors: Ortner Gregor , Bründl Michael , Kropf Chahan M. , Röösli Thomas , Bühler Yves , Bresch David N.
Published: April 2022

Abstract. Snow avalanches are recurring natural hazards that affect the population and transport infrastructure in alpine regions during the winter months such as in the most recent avalanche winters of 2018 and 2019, where large damages were caused by avalanches throughout the Alps. Decision makers need detailed information on the spatial distribution of the hazard and risk in order to prioritize and apply appropriate adaptation strategies and mitigation measures to minimize impacts. Here, we present a novel risk assessment approach for assessing the spatial distribution of avalanche risk by combining large-scale hazard mapping with a state-of-the-art risk assessment tool, where risk is understood as the product of hazard, exposure, and vulnerability. Hazard disposition is modeled using the large-scale hazard indication mapping method RAMMS::LSHIM, and risks are assessed using the probabilistic Python-based risk assessment platform CLIMADA, developed at ETH Zürich. The avalanche hazard mapping for scenarios with a 30, 100, and 300 year return period is based on a high-resolution terrain model, 3-day snow depth increase, automatically determined potential release areas, and protection forest information. Avalanche hazard for 40,000 single snow avalanches is assessed in avalanche intensity measured as pressure. Exposure is represented with a detailed building layer indicating the spatial distribution of monetary assets. Vulnerability of the buildings is defined by damage functions based on the software EconoMe, which is in operational use in Switzerland. The outputs of the hazard, exposure, and vulnerability analyses are combined to quantify the risk in spatially explicit risk maps. The risk considers the probability and intensity of snow avalanche occurrence as well as the concentration of vulnerable, exposed buildings. Uncertainty and sensitivity analyses were performed to capture inherent variability in the input parameters. This new risk assessment approach allows for the quantification of avalanche risk on large scales and results in maps that show the spatial distribution of risk at specific locations. Large-scale risk maps can assist decision makers in identifying areas where hazard mitigation and/or adaption is needed to address current and future avalanche risk.
Turbulence statistics from three different nacelle lidars
Authors: Fu Wei , Peña Alfredo , Mann Jakob
Published: April 2022

Abstract. Atmospheric turbulence can be characterized by the Reynolds stress tensor, which consists of the second-order moments of the wind field components. Most of the commercial nacelle lidars cannot estimate all components of the Reynolds stress tensor due to their limited number of beams; most can estimate the along-wind velocity variance relatively well. Other components are however also important to understand the behavior of, e.g., the vertical wind profile and meandering of wakes. The SpinnerLidar, a research lidar with multiple beams and a very high sampling frequency, was deployed together with two commercial lidars in a forward-looking mode on the nacelle of a Vestas V52 turbine to scan the inflow. Here, we compare the lidar-derived turbulence estimates with those from a sonic anemometer using both numerical simulations and measurements from a nearby mast. We show that from these lidars, the SpinnerLidar is the only one able to retrieve all Reynolds stress components. For the two- and four-beam lidars, we study different methods to compute the along-wind velocity variance. By using the SpinnerLidar's Doppler spectra of the radial velocity, we can partly compensate for the lidar's probe volume averaging effect and thus reduce the systematic error of turbulence estimates. We find that the variances of the radial velocities estimated from the maximum of the Doppler spectrum are less affected by the lidar probe volume compared to those estimated from the median or the centroid of the Doppler spectrum.

This study aims to: (i) analyze the types of relative clauses and its constituent structure found in the novel entitled “Creatures Behind Houses”, (ii) analyze the types of translation shifts of relative clause in the translation process from source language into target language. This research study focuses on English relative clauses and its translations into Indonesian found in the story entitled “Creatures Behind Houses”. The research applied the theory of relative clauses which was proposed by Quirk (1985), Sneddon (1996) and the theory of translation shift which was proposed by Catford (1965). The process of collecting data is started by reading the entire data source in order to understand the story and observe the possibility of the data source which could be taken from the story “Creatures Behind Houses”. The data source was read to find out the types of English relative clauses which were found in the story in the method and technique of collecting the data. The research study found that one type of English relative clauses was found in the story entitled “Creatures Behind Houses”. It was the type of Restrictive relative clause found in the novel entitled “Creatures Behind Houses”. Based on the results of analysis, it can be seen that there are four types of English relative clauses found in the data sources with restrictive relative clause as subject and there is 1 type of restrictive relative clause as object found in the “Creatures Behind Houses”. Secondly, there are two types of translation shifts which were found in the novel. Those are 5 data that were translated in unit shifts and 1 data that was translated by using structure shifts
Evaluation of Immediate Functional Loading with Single Piece Implants
Authors: Madhavan Sanjay , Jesudas Pradeep Christopher , Afradh K Mohamed
Published: April 2022

Introduction: In recent years, implantology has increasingly advocated the concept of immediate loading, even with single implants. It is defined as the placement of a prosthetic restoration within 48-72 hours after implant placement. Among the other advantages of immediate loading like overall treatment reduction in timing, with function, cosmetic and psychological benefits for the patient. This case described a new surgical concept and a technique to fabricate screw-retained provisional crowns for immediate loading of free-standing single tooth implants. Hence the aim of this study is to evaluate immediate functional loading with single piece implants
Materials and Methods: For rehabilitation with basal implants in sites after immediate extraction, a 2-mm twist drill, the first cortex (alveolar) was drilled and then drilling was continued till the basal cortex (nasal floor/sinus floor/lingual cortex/pterygoid bone), which was perceived as a dip. For rehabilitation with compressive screw implants in healed edentulous sites, the compression screw implants in the upper and lower jaw were inserted with the primary aim of achieving stability through compression of trabecular bone along the vertical (endosseous) axis of the implant. Frequency tables and chi square tests were used to analyze the data.
Results: There were 30 patients with 76 implants present and assessed for this study. The mean age of the participants was 47.43±16.93. In the study participants, 30% of the participants had hypertension, 20% had diabetes mellitus and 20% had smoking habit. BCS and Compressive type of implants were both used in the study. In 51.32% sites, BCS implants were used and 48.68% sites Compressive type implants were used depending on the clinical situation. For the success of the implant, many criteria was assessed such as Implant stability quotient, mid-buccal gingival level and inter proximal gingival papilla, absence of complications (pain, discomfort, infection, bone loss and mobility).
Results showed that there was a significant association found between diabetes mellitus with mobility, bone loss and discomfort. Contrastingly there was no association between smoking habit and any of the complications affecting the success of the implant. This showed that systemic disease plays a major role in the success of the implants.
Conclusion: The high cumulative implant survival rate for the devices and the technology of the Strategic Implant® indicates (within the limitations of this study) that the immediate functional loading concept with cortically anchored implants or implants providing corticalization of spongious bone for the rehabilitation of partially edentulous segments and for single-tooth replacement in maxilla and mandible can be a viable concept even in cases where extractions of teeth were done simultaneously.

Keywords: Single implants, immediate loading, Compressive implants, implants, BCS implants.

Partial order can make photonic nanomaterials different
Authors: Carminati Rémi
Published: April 2022

Light scattering from disordered materials has been extensively studied, but the influence of short and long-range spatial correlations in the disorder has been often overlooked. The possibility to engineer partially ordered materials (i.e. between completely amorphous and perfectly periodic) opens new perspectives for the control of light-matter interaction. We will discuss light propagation and absorption in partially ordered materials made of discrete scatterers in a transparent matrix. As an example, we will show that transparency, or almost perfect absorption, is expected for a specific type of partial order known as hyperuniform disorder. Finally, we will present recent approaches to the fabrication of partially ordered materials by bottom-up self-organization processes.
Book review: Göde Both (2020) Keeping Autonomous Driving Alive. An Ethnography of Visions, Masculinity and Fragility
Authors: Haugland Bård Torvetjønn
Published: April 2022

The review critiques Göde Both’s book Keeping Autonomous Driving Alive (2020). This book is an ethnographic exploration of a project in which roboticists and computer scientists attempt to make a technologically enhanced Volkswagen Passat drive without a human driver. Through an account grounded in actor-network theory, Both seeks to understand the actual work necessary to make the vehicle drive on its own, as well as the manner in which masculinity and futures are assembled and re-assembled around this emerging technology. The review assesses the merit of Both’s book as a self-contained account of a research project centred on self-driving vehicles, as well as the book’s contribution to the nascent social scientific literature on such vehicles.

Authors: Hidayah Nurul , Haryavany Denova
Published: April 2022

Corona virus infection 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by SARS-CoV-2. Covid-19 has been declared a pandemic by the WHO, where the scale of the spread of the disease occurs globally. Azithromycin alone and its combination with hydroxychloroquine has been proposed as a treatment that can improve the prognosis of COVID-19. The purpose of this review is to determine the use of doses and how long azithromycin is active in COVID-19 patients. This research method uses a literature review of articles through internet searches by accessing the database from the google scholar site, pubmed. The object of this research is a scientific article published in the period 2017-2021 and relates to the effectiveness of azithromycin as a therapy to treat Covid-19 infection in humans. The results of the literature study show that Azithromycin has the potential as a therapy in COVID-19 patients, either alone or in combination. The average duration of azithromycin administration was 5 days, of which 500 mg was the loading dose followed by 250 mg for the next 4 days. The effectiveness of Azithromycin either alone or in combination with hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) showed effectiveness in reducing viral load where the decline began on day 6 and complete recovery of the patient was achieved on day 10 to day 12. The conclusion of this study is that Azithromycin has the potential as a therapy in COVID-19 patients, either alone or in combination.
Studienstart mit Buddy-Begleitung. Ein Pilotprojekt
Authors: Beer Gabriele , Bauer Alexandra
Published: April 2022

Im Pilotprojekt „Buddy“ begleiten Lehramtsstudierende des 7. Semesters Studienanfänger*innen während des ersten Semesters. Somit hat jede*r Erstsemestrige eine direkte Ansprechperson, um etwaige Fragen rund ums Studium von erfahrenen Kommilitonen zeitnah beantwortet zu bekommen. Das Projekt fand sowohl bei den siebtsemestrigen Buddies als auch den Studienanfänger*innen große Zustimmung. Rund jeweils ein Drittel der Studierenden (1) hatte keinen Beratungsbedarf, (2) nutzte das Angebot für einige Fragen und (3) war im regen kollegialen Austausch. Die höchste Aktivität konnte in den ersten acht Wochen festgestellt werden und bezog sich vielfach auf organisatorische Fragen, die Schulpraxis und darauf, wie einzelne Lehrpersonen prüfen.
Welche Bedeutung messen pädagogische Akteur/innen identitätsstiftenden und die Mehrsprachigkeit unterstützenden Lernsettings zu?
Authors: Hawlik Rainer
Published: April 2022

Gemäß dem Ziel- und Leistungsplan 2019-2021 der Pädagogischen Hochschulen im Verbund NO beschäftigt sich der vorliegende Beitrag mit gesellschaftlichen Anforderungen an die Primarstufen- und Elementarstufenpädagogik. Im Zusammenhang mit Spracherwerb (Zweitsprachaneignung) im Bereich der Elementar- und Primarbildung wird in der folgenden qualitativ-empirischen Forschung anhand einer Kohorte von im aktiven Dienst stehenden Akteur/innen der Elementar- und Primarstufe in Wien untersucht, wie diese Pädagog/innen den sozialen Raum ihrer jeweiligen Bildungseinrichtung wahrnehmen. Es wird berichtet, wie sie die Situation im urbanen Feld charakterisieren, in dem sie Lernsettings für (mehrsprachige) Kinder arrangieren und Kinder in der Entwicklung ihres Selbstkonzepts zu unterstützen meinen. Es folgen Gelingensfaktoren für die Förderung identitätsstiftender und die Mehrsprachigkeit unterstützender Lernsettings (Fremdeinschätzung) und die daraus zu ziehenden Schlussfolgerungen.

Published: April 2022

Digitalisierung, Data Literacy, Data Science etc. sind allgegenwärtig in unserer Gesellschaft. Auch Kinder begegnen in ihrem Alltag Daten auf vielfältige Art und Weise. Aus diesem Grund ist es notwendig, sie bereits in der Primarstufe beim Kompetenzerwerb im Themenfeld “Daten, Wahrscheinlichkeit und Kombinatorik” zu unterstützen. Dies erfordert, dass sich die Lehrpersonen mit den fachlichen Inhalten auseinandersetzen und ihr didaktisches Handlungsrepertoire erweitern.Im Rahmen dieses Forschungsprojekts werden effektive Fortbildungsveranstaltungen konzipiert, durchgeführt und evaluiert. Ziel soll es sein, “Daten, Wahrscheinlichkeit und Kombinatorik” fachwissenschaftlich und fachdidaktisch zu durchdringen und dadurch Möglichkeiten für den Transfer in den Mathematikunterricht der Primarstufe aufzuzeigen.
SpraBiLaPrim: „Sprachliche Bildung als durchgängiges Prinzip im Studium für das Lehramt Primarstufe“ – Phase 1

Published: April 2022

Der Beitrag diskutiert die ersten Ergebnisse eines Forschungsprojektes an den drei Pädagogischen Hochschulen des Verbundes Nord-Ost, das die Umsetzung von Durchgängiger Sprachlicher Bildung in der Hochschullehre der Primarstufenlehrer*innenausbildung untersucht. Ausgehend von der Annahme, dass in der Ausbildung das spätere Lehrverhalten durch Erfahrungen und Vorbildwirkung besonders geprägt wird, fokussiert die Studie in der hier dargestellten Phase 1 (Fragebogenerhebung mit Likert-Skala) auf die Haltungen der Hochschullehrenden und ihr methodisches Wissen in Bezug auf die bildungssprachliche Begleitung der Studierenden. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass Hochschullehrende ein hohes Bewusstsein für die Rolle der Sprache beim Bildungserfolg haben und sprachliche Aspekte in allen Ausbildungsbereichen berücksichtigt sehen wollen. Die konkrete Umsetzung in allen Bereichen ergibt allerdings ein wesentlich diverseres Bild und zeigt auf, dass speziell konkretes methodisches Wissen zur Verankerung von Durchgängiger Sprachlicher Bildung in der Hochschullehre noch einer breiteren Diskussion und Bewusstmachung an den Pädagogischen Hochschulen bedarf.
