description: El presente trabajo de investigación muestra un análisis sobre la pertinencia de un régimen diferenciado en el proceso de licenciamiento ambiental en Colombia. El objetivo del mismo surgió debido a la existencia de conflictos socio-ambientales ante la contraposición entre los intereses de desarrollo económico a partir de la explotación de los recursos naturales y la necesidad de garantizar las condiciones adecuadas para la preservación de la fauna y la flora. El trabajo está dividido en capítulos que describen el desarrollo del mismo. Iniciando con la contextualización del marco normativo aplicable para el otorgamiento de las licencias ambientales. Seguidamente se realiza un análisis de las vicisitudes que se encuentran en este procedimiento. Finalmente se continúa con la propuesta de un licenciamiento ambiental diferenciado, concluyendo sobre la pertinencia de modificar el esquema actual por medio de una categorización diferenciada, en concordancia con la adopción de estrategias que permitan la compatibilidad de los proyectos con los instrumentos de ordenamiento local y regional.

The objective of the same arose due to the existence of socio-environmental conflicts before the contrast between the interests of economic development from the exploitation of natural resources and the need to guarantee the adequate conditions for the preservation of the Wildlife. The work is divided into chapters that describe its development. Starting with the contextualization of the applicable regulatory framework for the granting of environmental licenses. Next, an analysis of the vicissitudes found in this procedure is carried out. Finally, the proposal for a differentiated environmental licensing continues, concluding on the relevance of modifying the current scheme through a differentiated categorization, in accordance with the adoption of strategies that allow the compatibility of projects with local and regional planning instruments.
« Quand on parle de hockey, on parle de garçons ». Récits de l’expérience des joueuses de hockey sur glace

description: Alors qu’au Canada les femmes ont aujourd’hui plus que jamais accès à l’ensemble des disciplines sportives, elles sont toujours sous-représentées dans les sports historiquement associés aux hommes. Cela est particulièrement vrai pour celles qui investissent le hockey sur glace considérant que pour la saison 2016-2017, elles ne représentaient qu’un peu plus de 13% du nombre total d’inscriptions (Hockey Canada, 2017). La présente recherche s’intéresse donc à l’expérience de femmes qui ont choisi de pratiquer ce sport. Plus particulièrement, elle vise à: 1) rendre compte de leur réalité et 2) identifier des pistes d’action concrètes afin de faciliter l’accès des femmes à ce sport. Pour atteindre ces objectifs, une méthodologie qualitative a été privilégiée. Des entrevues semi-dirigées ont été réalisées auprès de l’échantillon composé de huit participantes afin de recueillir les données. L’analyse de leur discours au moyen d’un cadre conceptuel réunissant la théorie des rapports sociaux de sexe et le concept de discrimination révèle que des traitements inégalitaires persistent et freinent leur participation. Concrètement, à un moment ou à un autre de leur carrière, les joueuses de hockey sur glace subissent diverses formes de discriminations: dans la famille, sur la patinoire, matérielle et organisationnelle, fondée sur le sexe et sur des stéréotypes sexuels ainsi que médiatique.
Understanding the Potential for Sex Work Policy Reform in Canada

description: Sex work laws in Canada and abroad have historically shaped the health, safety, and overall wellbeing of sex workers. Designed with the specific mandate of protecting vulnerable young girls and women from exploitation and reducing the social harms associated with sex work, the Protection of Communities and Exploited Persons Act (PCEPA) has faced increased debate in light of its contrary implications for the sex work industry in Canada. In particular, this major research paper aimed to explicate the ways in which the PCEPA has contributed to increased surveillance and harassment from law enforcement, worse outcomes related to occupational health and safety, limited access to critical health and social services, and economic precarity for sex workers - all of which is compounded by intersectional forms of violence and discrimination to create further harm for (im)migrant, transgender, and racialized sex workers. In conducting this research, first-hand accounts from sex workers and both qualitative and quantitative research from academics and organizations were leveraged to paint a full picture of the environment created under criminalization and to determine potential recommendations for mitigating the harms experienced by sex workers. A comprehensive analysis of alternative policy models and their implications was conducted between the legalization of sex work in the Netherlands and decriminalization in New Zealand. With specific attention to the ongoing threats of incrimination, stigma, and exploitative relationships under legalization and the potential for reduced discrimination and improved access to health, safety, and legal measures under decriminalization, this analysis detailed how decriminalization and the enforcement of sex workers’ civil and labour rights is the best way forward to ensure that sex workers remain safe, protected, and eligible to the same rights and benefits procured under all other forms of work.

description: H2O maser disks with Keplerian rotation in active galactic nuclei offer a clean way to determine accurate black hole mass and the Hubble constant. An important assumption made in using a Keplerian H2O maser disk for measuring the black hole mass and the Hubble constant is that the disk mass is negligible compared to the black hole mass. To test this assumption, a simple and useful model can be found in Hure et al. (2011). In this work, the authors apply a linear disk model to a position-dynamical mass diagram and re-analyze position-velocity data from H2O maser disks associated with active galactic nuclei. They claim that a maser disk with nearly perfect Keplerian rotation could have disk mass comparable to the black hole mass. This would imply that ignoring the effects of disk self-gravity can lead to large systematic errors in the measurement of black hole mass and the Hubble constant. We examine their methods and find that their large estimated disk masses of Keplerian disks are likely the result of their use of projected instead of 3-dimensional position and velocity information. To place better constraints on the disk masses of Keplerian maser systems, we incorporate disk self-gravity into a 3-dimensional Bayesian modelling program for maser disks and also evaluate constraints based on the physical conditions for disks which support water maser emission. We find that there is little evidence that disk masses are dynamically important at the ~<1% level compared to the black holes.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: La actividad de deportes de aventura ha tenido gran auge en los últimos tiempos, siendo una de las opciones de recreación asociadas al turismo que se ofrecen en Colombia, en cuya realización el practicante, generalmente inexperto, se ve enfrentado a superar desafíos impuestos por el medio natural que le sirve como escenario, generándole emociones que son su principal atractivo. Atendiendo a los factores asociados a esta actividad, que vinculan el medio natural, el practicante y al organizador, se generan varios riesgos que le son connaturales, los cuales para el desarrollo de la actividad se busca sean asumidos por quien adquiere el servicio, con el fin de liberar la responsabilidad del organizador frente a los daños que puedan tener lugar. Este trabajo se enfoca en analizar bajo qué condiciones esas disposiciones de asunción del riesgo resultan efectivas, y en qué eventos el oferente del servicio estaría llamado a responder por los daños que sufra el usuario, para lo cual se da aplicación a las normas de protección al consumidor, atendiendo a que se considera que se trata de una relación de consumo, que daría lugar a la aplicación del régimen de responsabilidad establecido en esa normativa para los prestadores de servicios.
description: The activity of adventure sports has undergone a great peak in recent times, as one of the recreation options associated with tourism offered in Colombia, wherein those who practice the same, generally inexperienced, face overcoming challenges of the natural environment scenario, generating emotions that become its main attraction. Regarding the factors associated with this activity, which link the natural environment, the individual, and the organizer, several innate risks are generated that are connatural, which for the development of the practice are sought to be assumed by the person acquiring the service, to release the liability of the organizer against any damages that may occur. The herein work focuses on the analysis of those conditions under which the willingness of assuming such risks becomes material, as well as those events wherein the service provider would be accountable for any damages suffered by those who practice the activity under consumer protection rules, taking into account that such service is considered as a consumer related relationship, which would be subject to the liability established under the corresponding regulations in force for service providers.

description: This document is a guidebook for conducting a Measurement and Analysis Infrastructure Diagnostic (MAID) evaluation. The MAID method is a criterion-based evaluation method that is used to assess the quality of an organization’s data and the information generated from that data. The method is organized into four phases: (1) Collaborative Planning, (2) Artifact Evaluation, (3) On-site Evaluation, and (4) Report Results. Using the MAID evaluation criteria as a guide, a MAID team systematically studies and evaluates an organization’s measurement and analysis practices by examining the organization’s data and observing how the data is manipulated during its lifecycle, from the collection of base measures to the information provided to decision makers. The outcome of a MAID evaluation is a detailed report of an organization’s strengths and weaknesses in measurement and analysis.

description: Interaction in a flat band is magnified due to the divergence in the density of states, which gives rise to a variety of many-body phenomena such as ferromagnetism and Wigner crystallization. Until now, however, most studies of the flat band physics are based on model systems, making their experimental realization a distant future. Here, we propose a class of systems made of real atoms, namely, carbon atoms with realistic physical interactions (dubbed here as Kagome graphene/graphyne). Density functional theory calculations reveal that these Kagome lattices offer a controllable way to realize robust flat bands sufficiently close to the Fermi level. Upon hole doping, they split into spin-polarized bands at different energies to result in a flat-band ferromagnetism. At a half filling, this splitting reaches its highest level of 768 meV. At smaller fillings, e.g., when ν=1/6, on the other hand, a Wigner crystal spontaneously forms, where the electrons form closed loops localized on the grid points of a regular triangular lattice. It breaks the translational symmetry of the original Kagome lattice. We further show that the Kagome lattices exhibit good mechanical stabilities, based on which a possible route for experimental realization of the Kagome graphene is also proposed.
US Environmental Policy Attributes and their Effects on Innovation
Creators: name: Hatcher, Martin
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2020

description: Environmental policy is expected to have a significant, positive effect on innovation. Policies can be implemented by direct regulation, or through market-based processes. Direct regulation policies have various attributes, that affect innovation in different ways. This study investigates the effect of directed environmental policy on innovation. I examine how the stringency, and the uncertainty of environmental policy affected rates of patent counts (as a metric of innovation) in the United States from 1990 to 2006. I used a classification that identified and extracted patent counts for 16 green sectors of invention. The data was retrieved from the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) database of patents filed at the United States Patent and Trademark Office. I test three hypotheses predicting how particular attributes of environmental policy influence the rate of innovation in different sectors. Recently published, indices of the environmental policy stringency (restrictiveness of regulation and strictness of enforcement) and uncertainty (volatility, unpredictability) are used to measure each attribute. Three specifications of a simple time-series model were used to determine the sign and magnitude of policy attributes on patenting activity over 17 years. The results show that both stringency uncertainty index have significant and persistent negative effects on almost all patenting activities. Renewable energy technologies suffer the largest from stringency, and especially uncertainty of environmental policy; while innovation in water management and pollution abatement patents have little responses from stringency and uncertainty. The effects of uncertainty are much greater than those of stringency across all innovation sectors except pollution abatement. These findings highlight the complexity of the policy design, suggesting that regulatory policies designed to restore and maintain environmental quality must be highly certain and not too stringent if they are to also stimulate innovation. Further quantitative analyses of long time series of national data are required.
High pressure and ultrasonification technologies for manufacturing yogurt

Subjects: Yogurt -- Processing

description: Nonthermal processing is a rapidly growing field of research and industry use for production of safe foods and modification and/or improvement of quality. It is expected that this trend will grow, as consumers want minimally processed foods of natural flavor that are free from additives and preservatives. High hydrostatic pressure (HHP) and ultrasonification are two promising nonthermal processing technologies studied in this research for manufacturing low fat probiotic yogurt and improving the viability of probiotics in yogurt. Yogurt was manufactured using heat, HHP, and a combined treatment of HHP and heat. The effect of ultrasonification on the physicochemical, rheological, textural, and microstructure of low fat probiotic yogurt were studied. The combined application of HHP and thermal treatment resulted in yogurt gels with improved physicochemical characteristics and water holding capacity over heat or HHP alone. The HHP and heat combined treatment resulted in yogurt gels with improved consistency indices over gels obtained from thermally treated milk. The starter and inoculation rate that provided
description: different fermentation pathways also affected the consistency index and texture properties. Rheological behavior differences of yogurts varied according to the treatment used, and were attributed to structural phenomena of casein micelles. The combined HHP and heat milk treatments exhibited small rounded micelles that tended to fuse and form small irregular aggregates in association with clumps of dense amorphous material, which resulted in improved gel texture and viscosity. Ultrasonification was used to rupture yogurt bacteria to improve the viability of probiotics in yogurt. The probiotics grew better in sonicated culture yogurt compared to unsonicated culture yogurt, indicating increased availability of nutrients for the probiotics, which can be attributed to β-galactosidase availability. Sonicated starter yogurts presented lower syneresis compared to the control yogurts during storage. Ultrasonification improved the viability of probiotics by two log cycles at the end of storage period. The reduction of viability beyond the 24th day can be attributed to the lowering of pH. Overall, the results suggest that ultrasonification can possibly improve the viability of probiotics and quality of yogurt. Finally, both HHP and ultrasonification are potentially promising nonthermal processing technologies that can be selected for manufacturing yogurt to improve quality and viability of probiotics.

Supplementary Figure 2 (A-B). Association analysis of composite gene score of vitamin D SNPs (GC, CYP2R1 and DHCR7) used as a genetic instrument for their effect on 25(OH)D concentrations and T2D ( https://www.graphpad.com/scientific-software/prism/ ). Supplementary Figure 3. This figure illustrates pathways of synthesis, absorption, metabolism, and transportation of vitamin D. Genetic factors known to influence circulating levels of vitamin D are shown in the figure. DHCR7 expresses a reductase which uses nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate-oxidase to catalyzes the production of cholesterol to 7-dehydrocholesterol (7-DHC). The GC gene catalyzes the vitamin D binding protein formation. The enzyme (25-hydroxylase) responsible for the first hydroxylation step is encoded by CYP2R1. The enzyme in the kidneys responsible for the second hydroxylation is catalyzed by the CYP27B1 gene product (not used in this study). 1,25(OH)2D3 is the most effective and commonly measured vitamin D deficiency marker. Genetic instruments used in this study include gene pathways involved in vitamin D synthesis (DHCR7), metabolism (CYP2R1) and transport (GC) and genetic loci linked with increased T2D risk (IGF2BP2, TCF7L2, and KCNQ1). Note that in our results causality appears to be inferred by direct association of 25(OH)D variants (i.e. DHCR7) with 25(OH)D levels and the T2D phenotype. In contrast the T2D genes are associated with phenotype but not with the intermediate phenotype measured as 25(OH)D.
Fabrication, characterization and modeling of K31 piezoelectric micromachined ultrasonic transducers (pMUTs)

Subjects: Imaging systems in medicine -- Design and construction

description: Piezoelectric Micromachined Ultrasonic Transducers (pMUTs) offer a new approach for developing two dimensional array type ultrasonic transducers for real-time, three dimensional medical imaging. The studies reported in this dissertation represent part of the efforts towards this goal and consists four major tasks, namely, fabrication, characterization, analyzing and modeling of single element transducers, and development of a prototype of 2D array type transducer. The transducer belongs to K31 type in which a flexural vibration of the membrane is excited by a voltage applied in a direction that is normal to the surface of the membrane. The specific objectives of this study are to develop the fabrication technology for pMUTs and understand their behavior and performance through both experimental characterization and analytical and numerical modeling.
description: The pMUTs were fabricated using MEMS technology. There characteristics were measured by impedance measurement combined with equivalent circuit analysis. For the analytical prediction of pMUT performance, a one dimensional composite beam and a two dimensional composite plate model were developed. For the numerical prediction, a finite element code based on a combination of the equivalent single-layer theory and the classical laminated plate theory (CLPT) using a rectangular conforming plate element.

description: The electrostatic interaction between two non-identical, moderately charged colloids situated in close proximity of each other at a fluid interface is studied. By resorting to a well-justified model system, this problem is analytically solved within the framework of linearized Poisson-Boltzmann (PB) density functional theory (DFT). The resulting interaction comprises a surface and a line part, both of which, as functions of the inter-particle separation, show a rich behavior including monotonic as well as non-monotonic variations. In almost all cases, these variations cannot be captured correctly by using the superposition approximation. Moreover, expressions for the surface tensions, the line tensions and the fluid-fluid interfacial tension, which are all independent of the inter-particle separation, are obtained. Our results are expected to be particularly useful for emulsions stabilized by oppositely charged particles.

Publisher: name: Washington State University

Subjects: Social values -- Psychological aspects

description: Much research indicates that social value orientation, a trait-level preference for self and other outcomes in interdependent situations, predicts cooperation in social dilemmas. Also, perceptions of self-efficacy relate to cooperation in social dilemmas, with low-efficacy predicting low cooperation. The current research predicts that a temporal perspective of a public goods dilemma moderates each of these effects in systematically different ways. Research on Construal Level Theory (CLT) suggests that decision information of distant future events are construed more abstractly than the same information regarding near future events. If distant future decisions facilitate abstract construal of information, then this information may be more readily compared to abstract reference values, such as social values. Also, if a near future perspective facilitates low-level construal of behavioral alternatives, then self-efficacy, which is a feasibility concern, should be more strongly related to cooperative intentions in such perspective, relative to a distant future perspective. The results failed to support both interaction hypotheses and will be discussed in the context of social dilemmas, values, self-efficacy, and CLT.
Maximizing Trust in the Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) Service

description: Trust is a key factor in the effectiveness of the Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) service. Alert originators at emergency management agencies must trust WEA to deliver alerts to the public in an accurate and timely manner. The public must also trust the WEA service before they will act on the alerts that they receive. Managing trust in WEA is a responsibility shared among many stakeholders who are engaged with WEA. The objective of this research was to develop recommendations for alert originators, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, commercial mobile service providers, and suppliers of message-generation software that would enhance both alert originators' trust in the WEA service and the public's trust in the alerts that they receive. To do this, researchers reviewed alerting research, interviewed alerting experts, and surveyed alert originators and the public. The researchers then identified factors that influenced trust, modeled the relationships between the trust factors using mathematical and statistical techniques, simulated and evaluated scenarios addressing various combinations of trust factor inputs on the resulting perceptions of trust, and analyzed the results to identify the most significant factors influencing trust. This report presents the recommendations that resulted from this process.

description: Autophagosome formation depends on a carefully orchestrated interplay between membrane-associated protein complexes. Initiation of macroautophagy/autophagy is mediated by the ULK1 (unc-51 like autophagy activating kinase 1) protein kinase complex and the autophagy-specific class III phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase complex I (PtdIns3K-C1). The latter contains PIK3C3/VPS34, PIK3R4/VPS15, BECN1/Beclin 1 and ATG14 and phosphorylates phosphatidylinositol to generate phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PtdIns3P). Here, we show that PIK3C3, BECN1 and ATG14 contain functional LIR motifs and interact with the Atg8-family proteins with a preference for GABARAP and GABARAPL1. High resolution crystal structures of the functional LIR motifs of these core components of PtdIns3K-C1were obtained. Variation in hydrophobic pocket 2 (HP2) may explain the specificity for the GABARAP family. Mutation of the LIR motif in ATG14 did not prevent formation of the PtdIns3K-C1 complex, but blocked colocalization with MAP1LC3B/LC3B and impaired mitophagy. The ULK-mediated phosphorylation of S29 in ATG14 was strongly dependent on a functional LIR motif in ATG14. GABARAP-preferring LIR motifs in PIK3C3, BECN1 and ATG14 may, via coincidence detection, contribute to scaffolding of PtdIns3K-C1 on membranes for efficient autophagosome formation.

description: We present the star formation rates (SFRs) of a sample of 109 galaxies with X-ray selected active galactic nuclei (AGN) with moderate to high X-ray luminosities (L(2-8keV)= 10^42-10^45 erg/s), at redshifts 1 < z < 4.7, that were selected to be faint or undetected in the Herschel bands. We combine our deep ALMA continuum observations with deblended 8-500μm photometry from Spitzer and Herschel, and use infrared (IR) SED fitting and AGN - star formation decomposition methods. The addition of the ALMA photometry results in an order of magnitude more X-ray AGN in our sample with a measured SFR (now 37%). The remaining 63% of the sources have SFR upper limits that are typically a factor of 2-10 times lower than the pre-ALMA constraints. With the improved constraints on the IR SEDs, we can now identify a mid-IR (MIR) AGN component in 50% of our sample, compared to only ~1% previously. We further explore the F870μm/F24μm-redshift plane as a tool for the identification of MIR emitting AGN, for three different samples representing AGN dominated, star formation dominated, and composite sources. We demonstrate that the F870μm/F24μm-redshift plane can successfully split between AGN and star formation dominated sources, and can be used as an AGN identification method.

description: We consider a lattice gas in spaces of dimensionality $\mathcal{D}=1,2,3$. The particles are subject to a hardcore exclusion interaction and an attractive pair interaction that satisfies Gauss' law as do Newtonian gravity in $\mathcal{D}=3$, a logarithmic potential in $\mathcal{D}=2$, and a distance-independent force in $\mathcal{D}=1$. Under mild additional assumptions regarding symmetry and fluctuations we investigate equilibrium states of self-gravitating material clusters, in particular radial density profiles for closed and open systems. We present exact analytic results in several instances and high-precision numerical data in others. The density profile of a cluster with finite mass is found to exhibit exponential decay in $\mathcal{D}=1$ and power-law decay in $\mathcal{D}=2$ with temperature-dependent exponents in both cases. In $\mathcal{D}=2$ the gas evaporates in a continuous transition at a nonzero critical temperature. We describe clusters of infinite mass in $\mathcal{D}=3$ with a density profile consisting of three layers (core, shell, halo) and an algebraic large-distance asymptotic decay. In $\mathcal{D}=3$ a cluster of finite mass can be stabilized at $T>0$ via confinement to a sphere of finite radius. In some parameter regime, the gas thus enclosed undergoes a discontinuous transition between distinct density profiles. For the free energy needed to identify the equilibrium state we introduce a construction of gravitational self-energy that works in all $\mathcal{D}$ for the lattice gas. The decay rate of the density profile of an open cluster is shown to transform via a stretched exponential for $1

description: New Dirac points appear when periodic potentials are applied to graphene, and there are many interesting effects near these new Dirac points. Here we investigate the $\textit{Zitterbewegung}$ effect of fermions described by a Gaussian wave packet in graphene superlattice near new Dirac points. The $\textit{Zitterbewegung}$ near different Dirac points has similar characteristics, while Fermions near new Dirac points have different group velocities in both $x$- and $y$-direction, which causes the different properties of the $\textit{Zitterbewegung}$ near new Dirac points. We also investigate the $\textit{Zitterbewegung}$ effect influenced by all Dirac points, and get the evolution with changing potential. Our intensive results suggest that graphene superlattice may provide an appropriate system to study $\textit{Zitterbewegung}$ effect near new Dirac points experimentally.

description: This package contains a copy of the software process maturity questionnaire. It is intended for those interested in performing and learning about software process appraisals. This version differs in several important ways from its predecessor, A Method for Assessing the Software Capability of Contractors (CMU/SEI-87-TR-023). The most important difference is that this questionnaire is not an appraisal method itself; rather, it is one component that is uses in different appraisal methods.
When does the choice of the refractive index of a linear, homogeneous, isotropic, active, dielectric medium matter?

description: Two choices are possible for the refractive index of a linear, homogeneous, isotropic, active, dielectric material. Either of the choices is adequate for obtaining frequency-domain solutions for (i) scattering by slabs, spheres, and other objects of bounded extent; (ii) guided-wave propagation in homogeneously filled, cross-sectionally uniform, straight waveguide sections with perfectly conducting walls; and (iii) image formation due to flat lenses. The correct choice does matter for the half-space problem, but that problem is not realistic.

Masterarbeit

description: In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird die Wirksamkeit von Pattern Books in Bezug auf die Leseförderung analysiert. Das Konzept zur Förderung der mündlichen Lesefähigkeit mit Pattern Books für Lese-anfänger/innen wurde von Hartmann und Niedermann (2007) an der Universität Freiburg entwi-ckelt. Für diese Masterarbeit wurde das bestehende Konzept adaptiert. Die Methodik der Leseför-derung mit Pattern Books basiert auf einem im englischsprachigen Raum entwickelten Lautlese-verfahren, bei dem die Lehrperson das lesende Kind mithilfe des sogenannten 4-P-Prinzips (pre-view, pause, prompt, praise) beim Lesen begleitet. Mit einer grafischen Neugestaltung und einer Geschichte, deren Inhalt der Lebens- und Erfahrungswelt der Kinder entspricht, soll erreicht wer-den, dass diese Hefte vermehrt von Lehrpersonen im Förderunterricht eingesetzt werden. Im Fokus der Untersuchung stehen leseschwache Unterstufenkinder im Heilpädagogischen Einzel-setting. Anhand eines Leseflüssigkeits-Screenings wird der Effekt der Förderung empirisch erho-ben. Zusätzlich wird die subjektive Wirkung der Lesehefte sowohl auf Lehrpersonen als auch auf Kinder überprüft. Im Zentrum der literarischen Recherchen stehen die Lautleseverfahren nach Rosebrock und Nix (2014) und die Förderung der mündlichen Lesefähigkeit nach Hartmann und Niedermann (2007). Die Auswertung der neu konzipierten Leseförderhefte in der praktischen Umsetzung hat ergeben, dass sich bei den ausgewählten Förderkindern die Leistung in der mündlichen Lesefähigkeit we-sentlich verbessert hat und die neu gestalteten Pattern Books eine motivierende und anspre-chende Wirkung erzeugten.
