Sein Ziel ist es, durch Literatur das prozedurale und deklarative Sprachwissen sowie die Sprachlernerfahrungen der Studierenden zu erweitern. Seine Methoden stützen sich auf die Vorkenntnisse der Studierenden in ihren bereits beherrschten Sprachen sowie auf ihre Vorkenntnisse in eigen- und fremdkultureller Literatur.
Videokonferenzen im DaF-Bereich? Überlegungen zu Möglichkeiten und Grenzen am Beispiel »Skype in the classroom«
Authors: Bahlo Nils , Paul Christine , Topaj Nathalie , Steckbauer Daniel 
Published: May 2017

Zusammenfassung
Die Entwicklung der Mikroprozessoren und die damit einhergehende Massentauglichkeit der modernen Kommunikationsmedien haben dazu geführt, dass Individuen Gespräche vermehrt kulturübergreifend - und über Ländergrenzen hinweg - über das Internet führen können. Als moderne Kommunikationsform etabliert sich seit einigen Jahren immer weiter die Videokonferenz. Ihr didaktisches Potenzial wurde allerdings aus (fremd-)sprachwissenschaftlicher und (fremd-)sprachdidaktischer Sicht bislang verhältnismäßig wenig diskutiert.1 Wir wollen mit diesem Beitrag einen allgemeinen Überblick zur Forschungslage über den Nutzen von Videokonferenzen im Unterricht geben und der Frage nachgehen, ob Videokonferenzsoftware und Kontaktvermittlungsportale wie »Skype in the classroom« Möglichkeiten bieten, die kulturübergreifende Videokommunikation für den DaF-Bereich nutzbar zu machen.

Regionalität als Stärke? Eine Analyse von finnischen und niederländischen DaF-Lehrwerken
Authors: Maijala Minna , Tammenga-Helmantel Marjon 
Published: May 2017

Zusammenfassung
Die überregionalen bzw. globalen Lehrwerke werden für ein globales, nicht-spezifisches Publikum zusammengestellt und können aus diesem Grunde nicht immer die Wünsche und Bedürfnisse der Lernenden und Lehrenden vor Ort erfüllen. Dagegen liegt die Stärke der regionalen Sprachlehrwerke in den auf die dortige Zielgruppe zugeschnittenen Inhalten. Vor diesem Hintergrund wird im vorliegenden Beitrag der Fokus darauf gerichtet, inwiefern die von der Theorie festgehaltenen Vorteile in regionalen DaF-Lehrwerken in die Tat umgesetzt werden und ob die in der Praxis dieser Lehrwerke entwickelten Ideen in der Forschungsliteratur erfasst werden. Zuerst werden anhand von Forschungsliteratur globale und regionale Sprachlehrwerke verglichen. Im empirischen Teil des Beitrages werden alle zurzeit gängigen finnischen und niederländischen Deutschlehrwerke für den Anfängerunterricht in der Sekundarstufe I analysiert. Anhand von konkreten Beispielen aus den untersuchten DaF-Lehrwerken wird gezeigt, wie regionale DaF-Lehrwerke hinsichtlich der grammatikalischen und kulturspezifischen Inhalte an die Gegebenheiten vor Ort angepasst werden. Abschließend wird auf die Rolle des regionalen DaF-Lehrwerks als sprachlicher und kultureller Mediator vor Ort eingegangen.
Die Vermittlung der Artikelfunktionen in DaF-Lehrwerken. Wie berücksichtigen deutsche und japanische Anfängerlehrwerke die Zielgruppe der Lernenden mit artikelloser Erstsprache?
Authors: Lipsky Angela 
Published: May 2017

Zusammenfassung
Dieser Beitrag untersucht, inwieweit die Darstellungen der Artikelfunktionen in modernen DaF-Anfängerlehrwerken den besonderen Bedürfnissen von Lernenden mit artikelloser Erstsprache gerecht werden. Ausgewählt wurden drei nicht auf eine spezifische L1-Zielgruppe zugeschnittene deutsche Lehrwerke sowie drei für Lernende mit der artikellosen Erstsprache Japanisch konzipierte Lehrwerke aus Japan. Die Untersuchung wird zeigen, dass die einzelnen Lehrwerke sehr unterschiedliche Vermittlungsansätze wählen, aber nicht alle zu erwartenden Lernschwierigkeiten umfassend thematisieren können. Dabei soll auch auf die Vor- und Nachteile von einsprachigen und zweisprachigen Lehrwerken eingegangen werden.
Reasons for Volunteering in the Field of Civil Protection in Germany
Authors: Kehl Doris , Kietzmann Diana , Schmidt Silke 
Published: May 2017

Abstract
This study investigates how the demographic characteristics (i.e. gender, age, immigrant status) of people volunteering for civil protection organizations, as well as the type of organization, influence the volunteers’ motivation to provide this service. A sample of 3320 volunteers was drawn from the following non-profit civil protection organizations in Germany: a) Voluntary Fire Brigade, b) German Red Cross, and c) German Federal Agency for Technical Relief. Reasons for volunteering were assessed by the Scales of Attitude Structure of Volunteers. Correlation analyses, and ANOVAs were conducted. No effects of type of organization and immigrant status on reasons for volunteering were detected. Men’s and women’s reasons for doing voluntary service were equal, with one exception: self-experience motivation, i.e., the motivation to gain knowledge, skills etc., was higher among female volunteers. Age was negatively associated with social motivation, self-esteem, and career motivation. Our finding that gender and age affect volunteers’ motivation can be used to improve recruitment advertisements in the future: the various age groups can be targeted according to their specific motives for doing voluntary service, and the result that self-experience is more important to women than it is to men could also be explored to enhance the recruitment of women.
Design of Optimized Multiobjective Function for Bipedal Locomotion Based on Energy and Stability
Authors: Raj Manish , Nandi Gora C. 
Published: May 2017

Abstract
This paper presents a novel analytical method to develop the multiobjective function including energy and stability functions. The energy function has been developed by unique approach of orbital energy concept and the stability function obtained by modifying the pre-existing zero moment point (ZMP) trajectory. These functions are optimized using real coded genetic algorithm to produce an optimum set of walk parameters. The analytical results show that, when the energy function is optimized, the stability of the robot decreases. Similarly, if the stability function is optimized, the energy consumed by the robot increases. Thus, there is a clear trade-off between the stability and energy functions. Thus, we propose the multiobjective evolutionary algorithm to yield the optimum value of the walk parameters. The results are verified by Nao robot. This approach increases the energy efficiency of Nao robot by 67.05%, and stability increases by 75%. Furthermore, this method can be utilized on all ZMP classed bipeds.
Applications of design theory for the constructions of MDS matrices for lightweight cryptography
Authors: Gupta Kishan Chand , Pandey Sumit Kumar , Ray Indranil Ghosh 
Published: May 2017

Abstract
In this paper, we observe simple yet subtle interconnections among design theory, coding theory and cryptography.
Maximum distance separable (MDS) matrices have applications not only in coding theory but are also
of great importance in the design of block ciphers and hash functions. It is nontrivial
to find MDS matrices which could be used in lightweight cryptography. In the SAC 2004 paper [12], Junod and Vaudenay considered bi-regular matrices which are useful objects to build MDS matrices. Bi-regular matrices are those matrices all of whose entries are nonzero and all of whose

submatrices are nonsingular. Therefore MDS matrices are bi-regular matrices, but the converse is not true. They proposed the constructions of efficient MDS matrices by studying
the two major aspects of a

{d\times d}

bi-regular matrix M, namely

v

{v_{1}(M)}

, i.e. the number of occurrences of 1 in M, and

c

(

{c_{1}(M)}

, i.e. the number of distinct elements in M other than 1. They calculated the maximum number of ones that can occur in a

bi-regular matrices, i.e.

In this paper, we explore the connection between the maximum number of ones in bi-regular matrices
and the incidence matrices of Balanced Incomplete Block Design (BIBD).
In this paper, tools are developed to compute

v

d

{v_{1}^{d,d}}

for arbitrary d.
Using these results, we construct a restrictive version of

v

d

for

{d\leq 21}

. Since, the number of ones in any

MDS matrix cannot exceed the maximum number of ones in a

{d\times d}

bi-regular matrix, our results provide an upper bound on the number of ones in any

We observe an interesting connection between Latin squares and bi-regular matrices and
study the conditions under which a Latin square becomes a bi-regular matrix and finally
construct MDS matrices from Latin squares.
Also a lower bound of

AbstractBackground:Hepatic involvement is a common feature in childhood mitochondrial disorders. Deoxyguanosine kinase (DGUOK) deficiency is one of the mitochondrial DNA depletion syndromes associated with hepatocerebral syndrome. Hepatic disease and neurologic dysfunction occurs within weeks after birth. Low birth weight is one of the common features. This study aims to describe the clinical and laboratory features of four infants carrying four different pathogenic variants in theDGUOKgene.Case presentation:Common clinical findings were progressive cholestatic liver failure, hypoglycemia, hypotonia and rotatory nystagmus in our DGUOK deficiency patients. Lactic acidosis, elevated serum tyrosine and ferritin levels were the striking laboratory features. Cholestasis, iron deposits, microvesicular steatosis and fibrosis were the histopathological findings seen in liver biopsies of two patients. All patients died with multi-organ failure between the ages of 42 days and 6 months.Conclusions:While neurologic findings may occur later in the course of the disease, elevated serum tyrosine levels may alert the physicians to a DGUOK deficiency in a baby with hepatopathy in the presence of the mentioned signs. Early diagnosis is important not only for genetic counseling but also for a possible liver transplantation.
Nonlinear Dynamics Analysis for the Taut Inclined Cable Excited by Deck Vibration
Authors: Qian C. Z. , Chen C. P. 
Published: May 2017

AbstractA simple mechanical model is proposed to describe the dynamics system of the taut inclined cable excited by the deck vibration. Using Galerkin method, the dynamics system is simplified into a one-degree of freedom nonlinear system. Average method is used to obtain the average equations and bifurcation equation. Bifurcation maps are obtained and used to reveal the evolution mechanism of period-1 motion to period-2 motion. Several motion forms are discussed and evolution progress between different motions is studied. Several kinds of parametric resonance are revealed in various parameter regions. The conclusions indicate that the parametric resonance excited by the frequency ratio 3:2 is significant should be paid more attention.
The nitridoborate nitrides Mg3[BN2]N and Ca3[BN2]N – electronic structure and chemical bonding
Authors: Matar Samir F. , Al Alam Adel F. , Pöttgen Rainer 
Published: May 2017

Abstract
The nitridoborates Mg3[BN2]N (P63/mmc) and Ca3[BN2]N (P4/mmm) are electron-precise compounds with discrete linear [BN2]3− and isolated N3− anions. Electronic structure calculations reveal pronounced B–N bonding within the [BN2]3− units with more covalent Mg–N vs. Ca–N bonding. Total energy calculation for hexagonal normal-pressure Mg3[BN2]N, orthorhombic high-pressure Mg3[BN2]N and a hypothetical Ca3[BN2]N-type tetragonal Mg3[BN2]N modification revealed that the hexagonal modification is the ground state structure. The band structure for orthorhombic high-pressure Mg3[BN2]N indicates a substantial metallization (delocalization in the high-pressure regime). This peculiar result calls for a reinvestigation of high-pressure Mg3[BN2]N under different high-pressure high-temperature conditions along with physical property studies.
Vernetzung als regierungstechnologisches Rettungsprogramm?
Authors: Bode Ingo 
Published: May 2017

AbstractWithin the infrastructure of the modern welfare state, networking and collaboration across organizational and professional boundaries are far and wide considered as being deficient. At the same time, many experts refer to them as a silver bullet for overcoming institutional fragmentation and recent movements towards exacerbated social disintegration, even as governments tend to enforce collaboration formally. Using the example of child protection in Germany, this article draws on a mix of theories of government technologies in order to elucidate reasons for problems with actual collaborative arrangements in the social welfare sector, suggesting that, due to certain bottom-up dynamics, enforced networking in this sector is unlikely to be achieved by the policies under study. The analysis is based on evidence from case studies in five local settings, illustrating how major professional groups and organizations are dealing with evolving regulation and related challenges.
Beschäftigungsorientierte Beratung im Spannungsfeld von Bürokratie und Professionalität
Authors: Bender Gerd , Brandl Sebastian 
Published: May 2017

Abstract
Employment counselors are street-level bureaucrats; they do not simply execute government’s social policy, but have considerable room for discretionary decision-making. The article examines, on the one hand, whether the organizational conditions of their work make it easier or more difficult to act professionally, that is, to link current findings with knowledge acquired through training and work experience and thus develop action strategies that suit best a client’s individual situation – and to pursue them together with him or her. For only the orientation on professional counseling standards seems to safeguard against street-level activation policy that is based on coercion rather than on challenge. On the other hand, we discuss problems of recognizing the work of these specialists in a controlling and control system which is essentially based on outcome-based performance indicators.

ABSTRACT
OBESITY IS AN INCREASING PROBLEM FOR THE GENERAL POPULATION THAT IS ASSOCIATED WITH LONG-TERM HEALTH PROBLEMS AND A LOWER QUALITY OF LIFE. INSTEAD OF RELYING ON AEROBIC EXERCISE FOR FAT LOSS, SPRINT INTERVAL TRAINING MAY BE A MORE EFFECTIVE METHOD OF IMPROVING BODY COMPOSITION. THERE IS SOME EVIDENCE THAT WOMEN MAY NOT EXPERIENCE THE SAME ADAPTATIONS TO SPRINTING AS MEN. THIS ARTICLE WILL REVIEW THE INTERVAL TRAINING STUDIES THAT HAVE USED WOMEN AS SUBJECTS AND SUMMARIZE HOW THIS MODE OF EXERCISE IMPACTS BODY FAT. PRACTICAL RECOMMENDATIONS ARE PROVIDED FOR TRAINERS TO DEVELOP PROGRAMS GEARED AT REDUCING BODY FAT IN WOMEN.
10-year trends of educational differences in long sickness absence due to mental disorders
Authors: Sumanen Hilla , Pietiläinen Olli , Lahelma Eero , Rahkonen Ossi 
Published: May 2017

Abstract

Objectives
Mental disorders are a key cause of sickness absence (SA) and challenge prolonging working careers. Thus, evidence on the development of SA trends is needed. In this study, educational differences in long SAs due to mental disorders were examined in two age groups among employees of the City of Helsinki from 2004 to 2013.

Methods
All permanently and temporarily employed staff aged 18-34 and 35-49 were included in the analyses (n=~27800 per year). SA spells of ≥14 days due to mental disorders were examined annually. Education was classified to higher and lower levels. Joinpoint regression was used to identify major turning points in SA trends.

Results
Joinpoint regression models showed that lower educated groups had more long SAs spells due to mental disorders than those groups with higher education. SA trends decreased during the study period in all studied age and educational groups. Lower educated age groups had similar SA trends. Younger employees with higher education had the fewest SAs.

Conclusions
A clear educational gradient was found in long SAs due to mental disorders during the study period. SA trends decreased from 2004 to 2013.
The Impossible Ancien Régime colonial: Postcolonial Haiti and the Perils of the French Restoration
Authors: Pestel Friedemann 
Published: May 2017

The Impossible Ancien Régime colonial: Postcolonial Haiti and the Perils of the French Restoration This article discusses the consequences of Napoleon's downfall for the world's first modern post-slavery state, Haiti. It focuses on the interplay between the French colonial office's diplomatic missions that were lobbied by dispossessed planters to recover the lost colony and the Haitian propaganda to guarantee national independence. These relations ultimately contributed to a shift in French colonial politics towards Haiti, from military conquest and re-enslavement to financial indemnification. Taking the rhetoric of pacification beyond Europe, French diplomacy presented racial hierarchies as an extension of the 1814 compromise between old and new elites in metropolitan France. The Haitian side, however, insisted on the sharp contradiction between the supposed reconciliation in France and a quasi-restoration of the Ancien Régime colonial. Drawing on Haitian, French and British source material, this article analyses how Haitian propaganda attacked the precarious political legitimacy of Restoration France from an extra-European viewpoint to exert pressure on European colonial politics. Relying on Haiti as a model for slave emancipation, British abolitionists significantly contributed to excluding the option of the Ancien Régime colonial. The debate on Haiti's future forced Louis XVIII's government to ponder the political risks of colonial restoration. In the outcome, financial indemnification became France's primary condition for recognising Haitian independence in 1825.
