description: Excerpts from the Foreword: This bibliography is a selected list of references to general books and articles in the field of anthropology and to works on the culture of individual peoples and communities, particularly those in which their agriculture is discussed and the man-land relationship is brought out. Its purpose is to lead research workers to sources dealing with the total culture of these peoples so that they may see the part that agriculture and food-getting activities play in it. The bibliography falls broadly into two sections. In the first a general list of books, selected from the most widely known, is given as an introduction to anthropology, cultural anthropology, and primitive economics. The second, or main section, includes two types of material: ethnographies which are entirely descriptive in character, but which contain something on agriculture; and analytical works, which show the relationship between the various elements in a culture and indicate agriculture's place in it. Aside from the general section, the items are classified geographically. A subject and author index is appended.
description: John H. Provinse, Senior Social Science Analyst of the Bureau of Agricultural Economics, gave much advice and assistance regarding the scope and contents of the bibliography, in addition to preparing the introduction.

description: Magnetic Skyrmions and multiferroics are the most interesting objects in nanostructure science that have great potential in future spin-electronic technology. The study of multiferroic Skyrmions has attracted much interest in recent years. This article reports magnetic Bloch Skyrmions induced by an electric driving field in a composite bilayer (chiral-magnetic/ferroelectric bilayer) lattice. By using the spin dynamics method, we use a classical magnetic spin model and an electric pseudospin model, which are coupled by a strong magnetoelectric coupling in the dynamical simulations. Interestingly, we observe some skyrmion-like objects in the electric component either during the switching process or by applying a magnetic field, which is due to the connection between the electric and the magnetic structures.

description: We study dispersion properties of linear surface gravity waves propagating in an arbitrary direction atop a current profile of depth-varying magnitude using a piecewise linear approximation, and develop a robust numerical framework for practical calculation. The method has been much used in the past for the case of waves propagating along the same axis as the background current, and we herein extend and apply it to problems with an arbitrary angle between the wave propagation and current directions. Being valid for all wavelengths without loss of accuracy, the scheme is particularly well suited to solve problems involving a broad range of wave vectors, such as ship waves and Cauchy-Poisson initial value problems for example. We examine the group and phase velocities over different wavelength regimes and current profiles, highlighting characteristics due to the depth-variable vorticity. We show an example application to ship waves on an arbitrary current profile, and demonstrate qualitative differences in the wake patterns between concave down and concave up profiles when compared to a constant shear profile with equal depth-averaged vorticity. We also discuss the nature of additional solutions to the dispersion relation when using the piecewise-linear model. These are vorticity waves, drifting vortical structures which are artifacts of the piecewise model. They are absent for a smooth profile and are spurious in the present context.

description: Die Kinderarmut in der Schweiz ist ein ernst zu nehmendes Problem, das die Entwicklung Betroffener mit langfristigen Folgen gefährdet. Dem gegenüber stehen Studien, welche die Wichtigkeit der Freizeit für das Lernen und die Entwicklung betonen. Diese Arbeit untersucht, den Einfluss von Armut auf die Freizeitgestaltung von Familien mit Vorschulkindern, die von der Heilpädagogische Früherziehung (HFE) begleitet werden und erforscht, welche Unterstützung sich diese von der HFE wünschen. Anhand vier qualitativen Interviews mit Bezugspersonen konnte aufgezeigt werden, dass Armut alle Freizeitbereiche nach der Internationalen Klassifikation der Funktionsfähigkeit, Behinderung und Gesundheit (ICF) beeinflusst. Dabei sind individuelle, organisatorische, sowie soziale und gesellschaftliche Einflussfaktoren massgebend. Die Bezugspersonen wünschen sich von der HFE Beratung zum Thema der förderlicheren Alltagsgestaltung. Zentral nennen sie, dass die HFE eine Vernetzung der Familien untereinander und mit Fachstellen anstrebt.

description: We present a new solution to the electroweak hierarchy problem. We introduce $N$ copies of the Standard Model with varying values of the Higgs mass parameter. This generically yields a sector whose weak scale is parametrically removed from the cutoff by a factor of $1/\sqrt{N}$. Ensuring that reheating deposits a majority of the total energy density into this lightest sector requires a modification of the standard cosmological history, providing a powerful probe of the mechanism. Current and near-future experiments will explore much of the natural parameter space. Furthermore, supersymmetric completions which preserve grand unification predict superpartners with mass below $m_W \times M_{\text{pl}} / M_{\text{GUT}} \sim 10$ TeV.

description: Η παρούσα πτυχιακή εργασία έχει ως βασικό στόχο να εξετάσει κατά πόσο μοιάζουν ή διαφέρουν ο Αριστοτέλης με μεταγενέστερους φιλοσόφους, ερευνητές και μελετητές που επηρεάστηκαν από το έργο του. Το κείμενο αποτελείται από δύο μέρη: το θεωρητικό και το πρακτικό, που έχουν χωριστεί σε τέσσερα κεφάλαια. Το θεωρητικό κομμάτι της μελέτης ξεκινά στο πρώτο κεφάλαιο μέσα στο οποίο βλέπουμε μια εισαγωγή στο πρόσωπο του Αριστοτέλη. Διαβάζοντάς το κάποιος μπορεί να ενημερωθεί συντόμως για την ζωή του και τα έργα του, ενώ μπορεί να δει πληροφορίες και για τους σχολιαστές που επιλέχθηκαν για την συγκεκριμένη πτυχιακή εργασία. Ακολούθως, στο δεύτερο κεφάλαιο περιγράφεται το θεωρητικό πλαίσιο γύρω από την Microsoft Access και τα βοηθητικά εργαλεία που μπορεί να προσφέρει σε κάποιον ερευνητή. Μέσα σε αυτά εντάσσονται τα ερωτήματα SQL για τα οποία υπάρχει επίσης μια θεωρητική ανάλυση. Για να πετύχει ο σκοπός της εργασίας, στο πρακτικό μέρος (κεφάλαια 3-4), δημιουργήθηκε μια νέα βάση δεδομένων στην πλατφόρμα Access μέσα στην οποία καταγράφηκαν όλα τα γνωστά στοιχεία για τον Αριστοτέλη, τα έργα του, τους σχολιαστές του και τα δικά τους έργα. Έπειτα, για να γίνει επιτυχής η συσχέτιση των αριστοτελικών έργων και των έργων που σχολιάστηκαν, προστέθηκαν λέξεις-κλειδιά για την δημιουργία του θεματικού χάρτη (topic map). Η υλοποίηση της Βάσης Δεδομένων αναλύεται διεξοδικά στο τρίτο κεφάλαιο της εργασίας. Μετά την ολοκλήρωση της βάσης δεδομένων σχεδιάστηκε ένας μηχανισμός εξαγωγής βαθμών ομοιότητας (similarity mechanism) των φιλοσόφων και των επιστημόνων μεταξύ τους. Ο μηχανισμός αναπτύχθηκε μέσω ερωτημάτων SQL με βάση τις λέξεις-κλειδιά των έργων τους και τον θεματικό χάρτη που αναφέρθηκε προηγουμένως. Η ανάλυση των ερωτημάτων SQL και του μηχανισμού βρίσκεται στο τέταρτο κεφάλαιο της εργασίας. Στο τελευταίο κεφάλαιο της πτυχιακής εργασίας, το πέμπτο κεφάλαιο περιέχονται τα καταληκτικά συμπεράσματα. Συνοψίζοντας, το ιδανικό θα ήταν αυτή η βάση που αναπτύχθηκε να αποβεί χρήσιμη σε πιθανή μελλοντική έρευνα.

description: Length-biased data are a particular case of weighted data, which arise in many situations: biomedicine, quality control or epidemiology among others. In this paper we study the theoretical properties of kernel density estimation in the context of length-biased data, proposing two consistent bootstrap methods that we use for bandwidth selection. Apart from the bootstrap bandwidth selectors we suggest a rule-of-thumb. These bandwidth selection proposals are compared with a least-squares cross-validation method. A simulation study is accomplished to understand the behaviour of the procedures in finite samples.

description: The present study deals with the isolation of fourteen compounds from the active ethyl acetate (MPE) extract of M. pudica (L.) whole plant and their subsequent evaluation for the nitric oxide (NO), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin 1 beta (IL-1β) inhibitory activities in lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulated RAW 264.7 and J774A.1 cells. Among the tested compounds, L-mimosine (12; IC50= 19.23 to 21.15 μM), crocetin (4; IC50= 23.45 to 25.57 μM), crocin (14; IC50= 27.16 to 31.53 μM) and jasmonic acid (11; IC50= 21.32 to 29.42 μM) were identified as potent NO inhibitor when tested on the macrophages. Similarly, towards TNF-α and IL-1β inhibition, including these four compounds, and ethyl gallate (3), gallic acid (10) and caffeic acid (7) were found to be more active with half maximal concentration, 17.32 to 62.32 μM whereas the other compounds depicted moderate and mild effects (IC50= 59.32 to 95.01 μM). Also, at a dose of 40 mg/Kg, L-mimosine (12), jasmonic acid (11), crocin (14) and its de-esterified form, crocetin (4) were found to significantly (p < 0.05 and 0.001) reduce 60.7 %, 48.9 %, 48.4 % and 43.6 % respectively of TNF-α production in female Sprague Dawley rats. However, in case of IL-1β, with the same dose (40 mg/Kg), jasmonic acid (11) exhibited significant reduction with 54.2 % followed by crocin (14) (50.2 %) and crocetin (4) (39.8 %) while L-mimosine (12) was found to reduce only 16.3 %. Based on the results, it can be estimated that these compounds imparting greatly to anti-inflammatory effects of M. pudica in vitro as well as in vivo through reduction of LPS-induced pro-inflammatory mediators which affirm the ethno-pharmacological use of this plant for prevention of inflammatory-related disorders.

description: Accurate diagnosis of malignant pleura mesothelioma (MPM) is challenging. Differential diagnosis of MPM versus lung adenocarcinoma (AD) is particularly difficult, yet clinically important since the two neoplasias call for different treatment approaches. Circulating miRNA-profiling to identify miRNAs that can be used to distinguish MPM from AD has not been reported. We conducted a wide screening study of miRNA profiles in serum pools of MPM patients (N = 11), AD patients (N = 36), and healthy subjects (N = 45) to identify non-invasive biomarkers for differential diagnosis of MPM and AD, using deep sequencing. Sequencing detected up to 300 known miRNAs and up to 25 novel miRNAs species in the serum samples. Among known miRNAs, 7 were upregulated in MPM and 12 were upregulated in AD compared to healthy controls. Of these, eight were distinctive for AD and three were unique for MPM. Direct comparison of the miRNA profiles for MPM and AD revealed differences in miRNA levels that could be useful for differential diagnosis. No differentially expressed novel miRNAs were found. Further bioinformatics analysis indicated that three upregulated miRNAs in MPM are associated with the p38 pathway. There are unique alterations in serum miRNAs in MPM and AD compared to healthy controls, as well as differences between MPM and AD profiles. Differing miRNA levels between MPM and AD may be useful for differential diagnosis. A potential association to p38 pathway of three upregulated miRNAs in MPM was revealed.

description: An elementary introduction to the 2d/4d correspondences is given. After quickly reviewing the 2d q-deformed Yang-Mills theory and the Liouville theory, we will introduce 4d theories obtained by coupling trifundamentals to SU(2) gauge fields. We will then see concretely that the supersymmetric partition function of these theories on S^3 x S^1 and on S^4 is given respectively by the q-deformed Yang-Mills theory and the Liouville theory. After giving a short discussion on how this correspondence may be understood from the viewpoint of the 6d N=(2,0) theory, we conclude the review by enumerating future directions. Most of the technical points will be referred to more detailed review articles.

description: Many species from Senecio genus have been used in traditional medicine, and their pharmacological activities have been demonstrated. This study investigated the chemical composition and anti-inflammatory activities of essential oils from Senecio flammeus. A total of 48 components representing 98.41 % of the total oils were identified. The main compounds in the oils were α-farnesene (11.26 %), caryophyllene (8.69 %), n-hexadecanoic acid (7.23 %), and α-pinene (6.36 %). The anti-inflammatory activity of the essential oils was evaluated in rodents (10–90 mg/kg bw) in classical models of inflammation [carrageenan-induced paw edema, 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate (TPA)-induced ear edema, and cotton pellet-induced granuloma]. The essential oils at doses of 10, 30, and 90 mg/kg bw significantly reduced carrageenan-induced paw edema by 17.42 % (P < 0.05), 52.90 % (P < 0.05), and 66.45 % (P < 0.05) 4 h after carrageenan injection, respectively, and significantly reduced myeloperoxidase activity (P < 0.05). The essential oils (10, 30, and 90 mg/kg) also produced asignificant dose-dependent response to reduce TPA-induced ear edema by 20.27 % (P < 0.05), 33.06 % (P < 0.05), and 53.90 % (P < 0.05), respectively. The essential oils produced significant dose-response anti-inflammatory activity against cotton pellet-induced granuloma that peaked at the highest dose of 90 mg/kg (49.08 % wet weight and 47.29 % dry weight). Results demonstrate that the essential oils of S. flammeus were effective in the treatment of both acute and chronic inflammatory conditions, there by supporting the traditional use of this herb.

description: Previous studies have shown that postural stability can be enhanced by directing performers’ attention to the effects of their movements (external focus), rather than to the body movements producing the effect (internal focus). We examined whether the balance training and the attentional focus adopted on postural and supra-postural tasks have to influence postural control. Twenty elderly men (59.27 ± 5.77 years) selected randomly and participated in a single group pretest-posttest protocol. Balance training protocol consisted of 16 sessions of manipulated Romberg test for 30 min. Pretest and posttest components of the center of pressure, central-peripheral, and anterior-posterior displacement of participants’ balance were assessed by the Biodex Stability System (BSS) in postural and supra-postural tasks and also in 2 conditions of internal and external focus. The postural task included standing on the BSS in normal condition and the supra-postural task was standing on the BSS by holding a glass full of water. The attention manipulated by a focus on a point outside the body, and focus on decreasing the sway of the body during performing the tasks. Repeated measures of ANOVA with post-hoc Bonferroni test used at a p-value less than 0.05 and using by SPSS software (v. 22®). The present results showed the positive effects of balance training on all the components of postural control. Also, the findings indicated that external focus of attention in comparison with internal focus leads to a decrease in postural sway in all three components of postural control. This study suggests that the application of automatic control processes can be facilitated by simply directing performers’ attention away from their own body movements.
Design of Provably Physical-Constraint-Preserving Methods for General Relativistic Hydrodynamics
Creators: name: Wu, Kailiang
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Numerical Analysis (math.NA)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: The paper develops high-order physical-constraint-preserving (PCP) methods for general relativistic hydrodynamic (GRHD) equations, equipped with a general equation of state. Here the physical constraints, describing the admissible states of GRHD, are referred to the subluminal constraint on the fluid velocity and the positivity of the density, pressure and specific internal energy. Preserving these constraints is very important for robust computations, otherwise violating one of them will lead to the ill-posed problem and numerical instability. To overcome the difficulties arising from the inherent strong nonlinearity contained in the constraints, we derive an equivalent definition of the admissible states. Using this definition, we prove the convexity, scaling invariance and Lax-Friedrichs (LxF) splitting property of the admissible state set $\mathcal G$, and discover the dependence of $\mathcal G$ on the spacetime metric. Unfortunately, such dependence yields the non-equivalence of $\mathcal G$ at different points in curved spacetime, and invalidates the convexity of $\mathcal G$ in analyzing PCP schemes. This obstacle is effectively overcame by introducing a new formulation of the GRHD equations. Based on this formulation and the above theories, a first-order LxF scheme is designed on general unstructured mesh and rigorously proved to be PCP under a CFL condition. With two types of PCP limiting procedures, we design high-order, {\em provably} (not probably) PCP methods under discretization on the proposed new formulation. These high-order methods include the PCP finite difference, finite volume and discontinuous Galerkin methods.

description: In arid and semi-arid areas, low soil fertility and water deficit considerably limit crop production. The use of sewage sludge as an organic amendment could contribute to the improvement of soil fertility and hence the agronomic production. The study aims to highlight the behaviour of durum wheat to the application of sewage sludge associated with water stress. The assessment focused on morphophysiological parameters of the wheat plant and yield. Under greenhouse conditions, the variety Mohamed Ben Bachir was treated by four water stress levels (100 %, 80 %, 50 % and 30 %). Each stress level comprised five fertilizer treatments: 20, 50 and 100 t/ha of dry sludge, 35 kg/ha of urea, and a control with no fertilization. Results revealed a significant loss in water content and chlorophyll a in leaves. Water stress negatively affected the development of wheat plants by reducing significantly seed yield, leaf area and biomass produced. Plant’s responses to water stress manifested by an accumulation of proline and a decrease in total phosphorus. However, the increasing doses of sewage sludge limited the effect of water stress. Our findings showed an increase in the amount of chlorophyll pigments, leaf area, total phosphorus, biomass and yield. In addition, excessive accumulation of proline (1.11 ± 1.03 μg/g DM) was recorded as a result of the high concentration of sludge (100 t/ha DM). The application of sewage sludge is beneficial for the wheat crop, but the high accumulation of proline in plants treated with high dose of sludge suggests to properly consider this fact. The application of sludge should be used with caution in soils where water is limited. Because the combined effect of these two factors could result in a fatal osmotic stress to crop development.

description: We present a light-traces-mass (LTM) strong-lensing model of the massive lensing cluster MACS J2135.2-0102 ($z$=0.33; hereafter MACS2135), known in part for hosting the Cosmic Eye galaxy lens. MACS2135 is also known to multiply-lens a $z=$2.3 sub-mm galaxy near the Brightest Cluster Galaxy (BCG), as well as a prominent, triply-imaged system at a large radius of $\sim$37" south of the BCG. We use the latest available Hubble imaging to construct an accurate lensing model for this cluster, identifying six new multiply-imaged systems with the guidance of our LTM method, so that we have roughly quadrupled the number of lensing constraints. We determine that MACS2135 is amongst the top lensing clusters known, comparable in size to the Hubble Frontier Fields. For a source at $z_{s}=2.32$, we find an effective Einstein radius of $θ_{e}=27\pm3$", enclosing $1.12 \pm0.16 \times10^{14}$ $M_{\odot}$. We make our lens model, including mass and magnification maps, publicly available, in anticipation of searches for high-$z$ galaxies with the James Webb Space Telescope for which this cluster is a compelling target.

description: Some classes of inflationary models naturally introduce two distinct metrics/frames, and their equivalence in terms of observables has often been put in question. D-brane inflation proposes candidates for an inflaton embedded in the string theory and possesses descriptions on the brane and bulk metrics/frames, which are connected by a conformal/disformal transformation that depends on the inflaton and its derivatives. It has been shown that curvature perturbations generated by the inflaton are identical in both frames, meaning that observables such as the spectrum of cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies are independent of whether matter fields---including those in the standard model of particle physics---minimally couple to the brane or the bulk metric/frame. This is true despite the fact that the observables are eventually measured by the matter fields and that the total action including the matter fields is different in the two cases. In contrast, in curvaton scenarios, the observables depend on the frame to which the curvaton minimally couples. Among all inflationary scenarios, we focus on two models motivated by the KKLMMT fine-tuning problem: a slow-roll inflation with an inflection-point potential and a model of a rapidly rolling inflaton that conformally couples to gravity. In the first model, the difference between the frames in which the curvaton resides is encoded in the spectral index of the curvature perturbations, depicting the nature of the frame transformation. In the second model, the curvaton on the brane induces a spectral index significantly different from that in the bulk and is even falsified by the observations. This work thus demonstrates that two frames connected by a conformal/disformal transformation lead to different physical observables such as CMB anisotropies in curvaton models.

description: One major change of the future revision of the International System of Units (SI) is a new definition of the ampere based on the elementary charge \emph{e}. Replacing the former definition based on Ampère's force law will allow one to fully benefit from quantum physics to realize the ampere. However, a quantum realization of the ampere from \emph{e}, accurate to within $10^{-8}$ in relative value and fulfilling traceability needs, is still missing despite many efforts have been spent for the development of single-electron tunneling devices. Starting again with Ohm's law, applied here in a quantum circuit combining the quantum Hall resistance and Josephson voltage standards with a superconducting cryogenic amplifier, we report on a practical and universal programmable quantum current generator. We demonstrate that currents generated in the milliampere range are quantized in terms of $ef_\mathrm{J}$ ($f_\mathrm{J}$ is the Josephson frequency) with a measurement uncertainty of $10^{-8}$. This new quantum current source, able to deliver such accurate currents down to the microampere range, can greatly improve the current measurement traceability, as demonstrated with the calibrations of digital ammeters. Beyond, it opens the way to further developments in metrology and in fundamental physics, such as a quantum multimeter or new accurate comparisons to single electron pumps.

description: The physical basis of flagellar and ciliary beating is a major problem in biology which is still far from completely understood. The fundamental cytoskeleton structure of cilia and flagella is the axoneme, a cylindrical array of microtubule doublets connected by passive crosslinkers and dynein motor proteins. The complex interplay of these elements leads to the generation of self-organized bending waves. Although many mathematical models have been proposed to understand this process, few attempts have been made to assess the role of dyneins on the nonlinear nature of the axoneme. Here, we investigate the nonlinear dynamics of flagella by considering an axonemal sliding control mechanism for dynein activity. This approach unveils the nonlinear selection of the oscillation amplitudes, which are typically either missed or prescribed in mathematical models. The explicit set of nonlinear equations are derived and solved numerically. Our analysis reveals the spatiotemporal dynamics of dynein populations and flagellum shape for different regimes of motor activity, medium viscosity and flagellum elasticity. Unstable modes saturate via the coupling of dynein kinetics and flagellum shape without the need of invoking a nonlinear axonemal response. Hence, our work reveals a novel mechanism for the saturation of unstable modes in axonemal beating.

description: The re-evaluation of a query result after modifying a large database can be a time-consuming process; in particular when it is performed from scratch. For this reason previously computed information such as the old query result and (possibly) other auxiliary information is often reused in order to speed up the process. In this thesis, dynamic query evaluation is studied in a descriptive complexity framework independently introduced by Dong, Su and Topor (1992, 1993) and by Patnaik and Immerman (1994). In this framework, for a relational database subject to change, auxiliary relations are maintained with the intention to help answering a query. When a modification to the database, that is, an insertion or deletion of a tuple, occurs, every auxiliary relation is updated through a first-order query that can refer to both, the database and the auxiliary relations. Our main objective is to advance the understanding of the power of the dynamic descriptive complexity framework. We contribute by (a) providing new methods for proving in-expressibility in this dynamic context, and by (b) exploring the structure of small dynamic descriptive complexity classes and their relation to static complexity classes. One of our contributions to the latter aspect helps to confirm the conjecture by Patnaik and Immerman (1997) that reachability can be maintained by first-order update formulas. This has been one of the major open questions in this area.

description: Differential Privacy (DP) has received increased attention as a rigorous privacy framework. Existing studies employ traditional DP mechanisms (e.g., the Laplace mechanism) as primitives, which assume that the data are independent, or that adversaries do not have knowledge of the data correlations. However, continuously generated data in the real world tend to be temporally correlated, and such correlations can be acquired by adversaries. In this paper, we investigate the potential privacy loss of a traditional DP mechanism under temporal correlations in the context of continuous data release. First, we model the temporal correlations using Markov model and analyze the privacy leakage of a DP mechanism when adversaries have knowledge of such temporal correlations. Our analysis reveals that the privacy leakage of a DP mechanism may accumulate and increase over time. We call it temporal privacy leakage. Second, to measure such privacy leakage, we design an efficient algorithm for calculating it in polynomial time. Although the temporal privacy leakage may increase over time, we also show that its supremum may exist in some cases. Third, to bound the privacy loss, we propose mechanisms that convert any existing DP mechanism into one against temporal privacy leakage. Experiments with synthetic data confirm that our approach is efficient and effective.

description: The aim of this rapid scoping exercise has been to identify gaps and priorities for adult social care research in autism in order to help Autistica to:
- Identify key subtopics within adult social care in autism;
- Understand what we currently know from research on social care in autism;
- Identify gaps in the literature and the potential impact of these gaps on the outcomes experienced by autistic people;
- Identify key opportunities for research;
- Make strategic recommendations for impactful research.

The review was intended to include people from across the autism spectrum and to take a broad view of social care. The review was to focus specifically on the quantity and quality of the evidence to social care related interventions, assessing a range of outcome measures but with a particular focus on Autistica’s vision of people living ‘long, happy and healthy lives’. Where possible findings related to cost effectiveness were also to be extracted.

description: Verschiedene Studien bestätigen die Abnahme der motorischen Kompetenzen von Kindern im Vergleich zu früher. Gegensteuer könnte eine offensivere Förderung geben. Diese Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Frage, wie ein Lehrmittel zur Förderung der motorischen Grundfertigkeiten gestaltet sein muss, damit es von Kindergartenlehrpersonen eingesetzt wird. Ein eigens dafür entwickeltes Lehrmittel bildet die Grundlage für diese Untersuchung. Eine erste Testphase wird mit Experteninterviews ausgewertet. Das Lehrmittel wird angepasst und nach einer weiteren Testphase mittels Onlinefragebogen ausgewertet. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass ein Wunsch nach einfachen, einzelnen Ideen besteht, welche gut an die individuelle Planung angepasst werden können.

 en este camino donde la niebla se desvanece
 como los mensajes en los arrecifes de la luna
 quiero estar seguro de poder grabar mi nombre en alguna parte
 abrazar a alguien en algún lugar secreto de los cielos
 no sentir que hoy es el fin del mundo
 entre las nieves inesperadas de los vientos
 para despedirme tranquilamente de los sueños
 de la soledad y de la luz de las colinas
 y no sentir que el aire infatigable del otoño
 es el único espacio milagroso de los ríos
 porque para mí el tiempo es demasiado largo
 para esperar un día
