description: Chronic use of alcohol and other drugs can cause a range of problems such as impairment of the way a person thinks or feels. These problems can also occur in the children of substance abusers, even though they are not abusing themselves. Contemporary research seeks to identify psychological difficulties in children of substance abusers as possible precursors to later substance abusing behavior. To this end, the present study compared 20 children of substance abusers and 20 children of non-substance abusers on measures of depression and attributional style. Results indicated that children of substance abusers exhibited greater depressive symptomatology and demonstrated a depressogenic attributional style more frequently than did children of non-substance abusers. Thus, the data indicate that children of substance abusers differ in ways that suggest potential risks for psychological difficulties, especially affective problems.

description: Due to the rising relevance of the economy and economic questions in the 20th century, Business Administration has become an important subject in higher education. Its fast growing student numbers during the last decades show its weight within the higher education institutions, even though it is a quite young direction of study. This article works out the main determinants as well as the structural changes in Business Administration in tertiary education. As a result of the transition to bachelor and master programs of study and the reform of the higher education sector in Germany the education in Business Administration currently undergoes deep changes. The status quo of these reforms as well as its inherent chances and risks are analysed in this article as well.

Durch die gegenwärtige Reform der Universitäten und den Übergang auf ein Bachelor- und Master-Studium befindet sich diese in einem deutlichen Umbruch, dessen gegenwärtige Ausprägung mit den darin enthaltenen Chancen und Risiken näher untersucht werden.
The effect of computer frame color on readability

Year: 2023

description: This research evaluates the effect on readability of the VDT display screen used in conjunction with different frame (or casing) color. Subjects were presented with positive and negative representation display screens, all of which had their casing (or frame) modified so that half the casing was colored black and the other white. They were asked to identify the occurrence of the letter "Z" among horizontal and vertical strings of characters representing the characters "Z" and "2" at random frequency. Results show that readability was enhanced with lesser screen-casing contrast and the absence of contrast resulted in the highest readability. There was no significant difference in subject performance with positive and negative presentation screens. A significant statistical difference in performance with horizontal strings over vertical strings points to cultural specificities as factors in the performance.

description: Early childhood temperament is a predictor of later mental health. Previous research suggests that some aspects of temperament differ between children born preterm (PT) and those born full-term (FT). However, some questions on the role of PT birth for child temperament remain open. The study aims to identify associations between temperament and gestational age in the three temperament dimensions of positive affectivity/surgency, negative emotionality, and orienting/regulatory capacity. Additionally, temperament differences in different PT groups (extremely PT, very PT, and moderate to late PT) are considered. Data will be collected via the Pebbles App (previously named kleineWeltentdecker App) and via an online questionnaire (hosted on SoSci-Survey). Participants will be caregivers of children born PT and FT at the University Hospital Zurich (USZ). The children will be between 3 months and 2 years old. We will additionally recruit participants via social media and use data from caregivers who use the Pebbles App independently of study participation or as part of a different study.

description: Objective: We use the complete set of NHES and NHANES data collected between 1959 and 2004 in order to construct trends for the physical stature of the non-Hispanic white and black US adult population and compare them to those of Western- and Northern-Europeans. Method: Regression analysis is used to estimate the trend in US heights stratified by gender and ethnicity holding income and educational attainment constant. Results: US heights have stabilized at mid-century and a perio0d of stagnation set in with the birth cohorts 1955-74, concurrent with continual rapid increases in heights in Western and Northern Europe. The American population had been the tallest in the world for two centuries until World War II, but by the end of the 20th century fell behind many of their European counterparts. Only since the most recent birth cohorts 1975-83 is some gain apparent among whites but not among blacks. The relationship between height and income and between height and educational attainment has not changed appreciably over time for either men or women. Conclusion: We conjecture that the American health-care system, as well as the relatively weak welfare safety net might be the reason why human growth in the United States has not performed as well in relative terms as one would expect on the basis of income. The comparative pattern bears some similarly to that of life expectancy insofar as the US is also lagging behind in that respect.

 Remarlks. Camptotarsopoda is restricted to the Afrotropical region, with five known species, all of them described by Stein (1913) in Camptotarsus. Usually they have 4 postsutural dorsocentrals (except Camptotarsopoda nitida) and at least the fore tibia is often partly creamy-white (except in Camptotarsoposa pallipes). The males of all species have the first tarsomere of mid tarsus modified, as a ventral depression, with short stiff setae at apex (Emden 1951, fig. 12). Malloch (1929) and Emden (1951) keyed the five species.

description: The influence of hunger and satiety on perceived pleasantness and intensity ratings for 27 food- and 13 non-food-related odors as a function of locus of control (LC) was investigated. Meal-related shifts in hedonic ratings of food-related odors were anticipated to be correlated with LC measures (Rotter's (1966) Internal-External scale, and Saltzer's (1982) Weight Locus of Control scale). Ten internal and 14 external LC subjects, (half of each sex, ages 16-30, of normal weight and health) judged microencapsulated odors before and after either a meal or one hour control period. LC measures were not related to pleasantness or intensity ratings, but there did exist a trend for internal LC subjects to rate food odors in the post-no lunch condition as less pleasant. The pre- to post-pleasantness ratings for food odors decreased only for the lunch group.

description: As mixture regression models increasingly receive attention from both theory and practice, the question of selecting the correct number of segments gains urgency. A misspecification can lead to an under- or oversegmentation, thus resulting in flawed management decisions on customer targeting or product positioning.This paper presents the results of an extensive simulation study that examines the performance of commonly used information criteria in a mixture regression context with normal data. Unlike with previous studies, the performance is evaluated at a broad range of sample/segment size combinations being the most critical factors for the effectiveness of the criteria from both a theoretical and practical point of view. In order to assess the absolute performance of each criterion with respect to chance, the performance is reviewed against so called chance criteria, derived from discriminant analysis.The results induce recommendations on criterion selection when a certain sample size is given and help to judge what sample size is needed in order to guarantee an accurate decision based on a certain criterion respectively.
title: Das bedingungslose Grundeinkommen – ein neuer Ansatz für die Entwicklungspolitik?
Creators: name: Krumm, Wolfgang
Year: 2014

description: Gegenstand dieser Arbeit ist das bedingungslose Grundeinkommen im entwicklungspolitischen Kontext. Ideen zu einem Grundeinkommen lassen sich historisch weit zurückverfolgen. Gegenwärtig wird verstärkt über Sozialgeldtransfers für die Länder des globalen Südens diskutiert. Die thematische Fragenstellung dieser Arbeit zielt darauf ab, inwiefern das bedingungslose Grundeinkommen als entwicklungspolitischer Ansatz zur Armutsbekämpfung und zur Verbesserung der Lebenssituation der Menschen in den Ländern des globalen Südens beitragen kann. Dazu gilt es zuerst einmal in die Geschichte des Grundeinkommens und der Entwicklungspolitik einzuführen sowie verschiedene Begriffe zu erläutern. Die Zielsetzung und Kritik an entwicklungspolitischen Maßnahmen werden im weiteren Verlauf der Arbeit aufgegriffen und mit dem Themenkomplex Grundeinkommen verknüpft. Unter anderem werden anhand von Fallbeispielen Chancen und Risiken eines bedingungslosen Grundeinkommens in den Ländern des globalen Südens untersucht. Abschließend erfolgt eine Bewertung des bedingungslosen Grundeinkommens als entwicklungspolitischer Ansatz.

description: We analyze the duration of the patent examination process at the European Patent Office (EPO). Our data contain information related to the patent’s economic and technical relevance, EPO capacity and workload as well as novel citation measures which are derived from the EPO’s search reports. In our multivariate analysis we estimate competing risk specifications in order to characterize differences in the processes leading to a withdrawal of the application by the applicant, a refusal of the patent grant by the examiner or an actual patent grant. Highly cited applications are approved faster by the EPO than less important ones, but they are also withdrawn less quickly by the applicant. The process duration increases for all outcomes with the application’s complexity, originality, number of references (backward citations) in the search report and with theEPO’s workload at the filing date. Endogenous applicant behavior becomes apparent in other results: more controversial claims lead to slower grants, but faster withdrawals, while relatively well-documented applications (identified by a high share of applicant references appearing in the search report) are approved faster and take longer to be withdrawn.

description: Mit der vorliegenden Arbeit sollte überprüft werden, ob Polizeibeamte im Vergleich mit Laien bessere Identifizierungsleistungen erbringen und detailliertere Aussagen zur Person der Täterin, zum Tathergang und zum Tatort(Umgebung/Setting) machen können. Des Weiteren wurden das Wahlverhalten und die Angaben zur subjektiven Sicherheit bei Identifizierungsentscheidungen von Exekutivbeamten mit jenen von Laien verglichen. Es nahmen insgesamt 192 Personen, 96 Laien und 96 Exekutivbedienstete (davon 32 zivile Exekutivbedienstete und 64 uniformierte Exekutivbedienstete) an der Studie teil. Eingangs wurde den Versuchspersonen eine von vier Versionen eines Filmes, in welchem ein Geldbörsen-Diebstahl auf einem Supermarkt-Parkplatz zu sehen ist, gezeigt. Die Filmversionen unterschieden sich in der Dauer der Handlung und der Länge der Nahaufnahme der Täterin. Danach wurden die Studienteilnehmer aufgefordert, jeweils für die Täterin, das Opfer, den Tathergang und die Umgebung/das Setting zuerst eine freie Beschreibung abzugeben und danach dazu spezifische Fragen zu beantworten. Im Anschluss folgte für die Dauer von zehn bis zwanzig Minuten eine Fülleraufgabe, die nicht weiter ausgewertet wurde und in keinem Zusammenhang mit dem gezeigten Film bzw. dem Experiment steht. Der dritte Teil des Experiments bestand in der Erklärung der Erinnern- Wissen- Vertraut sein- Urteile sowie einer Überprüfung des Verständnisses hinsichtlich dieser Urteile. Als vierter Teil erfolgte die Identifizierungsaufgabe. Es wurden Lichtbildvorlagen mit insgesamt 6 Fotos sowie dem Marker „Täterin nicht anwesend“ vorgelegt. Je nach Bedingung befand sich die Täterin in der Lichtbildvorlage oder es war eine Ersatzperson zu sehen. Nach der Lichtbildvorlage zur Täterin mussten in zwei weiteren Schritten auch die gestohlene Geldbörse und der Tatort identifiziert werden. Des Weiteren wurden die Studienteilnehmer gefragt, wie sicher sie in ihrer Identifizierungsentscheidung sind. Es zeigte sich, dass die zivilen Exekutivbediensteten sowohl im freien Bericht als auch in den spezifischen Fragen signifikant mehr Details zum Täter berichten konnten. Für die anderen Beschreibungskategorien konnte die Überlegenheit der Exekutivbediensteten nicht gefunden werden. Bezüglich der Identifizierungsleistung waren im Hinblick auf die Täterin die uniformierten Exekutivbediensteten sogar signifikant schlechter als die Laien. Im Wahlverhalten und in der Bewertung der subjektiven Sicherheit zeigten sich keine Unterschiede zwischen den Gruppen.

title: Langzeitanalyse des Einflusses von Temperatur- und Niederschlagsänderungen auf blitzbedingte Brände im Kernland der USA
Creators: name: Homm, Jürgen
Year: 2013

description: Feuer ist ein globales Phänomen, dessen Nutzen bereits seit der Altsteinzeit bekannt ist. Es beeinflusst globale Ökosystemmuster und –prozesse, Vegetationszusammensetzung und –verteilung, den Kohlenstoffkreislauf und nicht zuletzt das Klima. Das Klima wiederum beein-flusst seinerseits die geographische Verteilung von Bränden und die Brandaktivität. In den Wäldern der USA stellt Feuer einen der größten Störfaktoren dar. Die Struktur und Zusam-mensetzung von Wäldern werden durch sogenannte Feuerregime beeinflusst. Diese werden wiederum durch anthropogene Eingriffe und Umweltveränderungen geprägt. Brände, ob-gleich natürlichen oder anthropogenen Ursprungs, können sowohl positive als auch negative Auswirkungen haben. In Ökosystemen spielen Brände oft eine wichtige ökologische Rolle, indem sie biogeochemische Kreisläufe aufrechterhalten und die Biodiversität fördern. Sie können auch destruktive Auswirkungen haben (z.B. Biodiversitätsverlust und Degradation). Brände werden in erster Linie durch Menschen verursacht. Zu den wichtigsten natürlichen Auslösern gehören Blitze. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird der Einfluss von Temperatur- und Niederschlagsänderungen auf Brände, die durch Blitze verursacht wurden, im Kernland der USA untersucht. Zwischen 1980 und 2012 konnte ein genereller Anstieg der Brandhäufigkeit und der dadurch verbrannten Flächen festgestellt werden. Von verschiedenen Autoren wird selbst unter moderaten Klimawandelszenarien eine Zunahme der Brandaktivität bis zum Ende des 21. Jahrhunderts prognostiziert. Die Brandaktivität ist zudem einer starken zeitli-chen und räumlichen Variabilität unterlegen.
description: Fire is a global phenomenon, which is being used since the Old Stone Age. It affects global ecosystem patterns and processes, the composition and distribution of vegetation, the car-bon cycle and the climate. The climate itself affects the distribution of fire and fire activity. Fire is one of the major disturbing factors in the United States forests. Forest structure and composition is determined by fire regimes, which are influenced by human actions and envi-ronmental change. Fires have positive or negative effects. In some ecosystems fires play an important ecological role by maintaining biogeochemical cycles and stimulating the biodiversity. In other ecosystems fires can be destructive (e.g. diversity loss or degradation). Fires are primarily caused by humans. The major natural cause of fire is lightning. This master thesis examines the influence of temperature and precipitation change in the conterminous USA on lightning fire. Between 1980 and 2012 there was a general increase of lightning fires and areas burned in the USA. In addition, different studies project a further increase of fire activity by the end of the 21st century even under moderate climate scenarios. Furthermore there is a strong temporal and spatial variability of fire activity.

Creators: name: Grünwald, Cornelia

description: In der Republik Moldau ist seit dem Zerfall der Sowjetunion ein starker Trend zur Emigration zu erkennen. Viele Menschen emigrieren in andere Länder (meist EU-Länder oder GUS Länder), um zu arbeiten und senden Rücküberweisungen meist finanzieller Natur an die Familien in Moldau. In Medienberichten werden Kinder von MigrantInnen und alte Menschen als hilflos und zurückgelassen dargestellt. Die Perspektive des Transnationalismus untersucht vor allem MigrantInnen, die ihr Leben grenzüberschreitend über zwei oder mehrere Staaten führen. Identitäten werden durch die Bezugsrahmen beider Nationalstaaten geformt. In dieser Studie wird untersucht, ob ein transnationales Leben auch durch die Emigration aus der Republik Moldau auf Familien zutrifft, bzw. ob Transnationalismus sinnvoll auf Moldau anzuwenden ist. Auf Basis von Interviews werden transnationale Prozesse analysiert, die Jugendliche in Moldau erleben. Ihre Einstellungen zu Migration werden dargestellt.
description: Since the breakdown of the Sovjet Union in the Republic of Moldova there is a trend for emigration to observe. Many people migrate to other countries (mostly countries of the EU or CIS states), due to the fact that they desire to work there. Migrants send remittances, mostly economic ones, back to their families that remained in Moldova. According to media observation children and old people that stay in Moldova are there alone and powerless. Transnationalism is a perspective that mostly explores migrants who live their lives across borders, connecting two or more nation-states. Identities are formed through the frame of both states. This study investigates transnational experiences in Moldova. The goal is to find the answeres wheter transnationalism is a useful tool to apply for the Republic of Moldova or wheter it is not. Interviews with adolescents are the basis to analyse transnational processes. In addition to that their attitudes towards migration are shown.

description: Next-Generation Sequencing methods like DNA metabarcoding enable the generation of large community composition datasets and have grown instrumental in many branches of ecology in recent years. However, the sparsity, compositionality, and high dimensionality of metabarcoding datasets pose challenges in data analysis. In theory, feature selection methods improve the analyzability of eDNA metabarcoding datasets by identifying a subset of informative taxa that are relevant for a certain task and discarding those that are redundant or irrelevant. However, general guidelines on selecting a feature selection method for application to a given setting are lacking. Here, we report a comparison of feature selection methods in a supervised machine learning setup across 13 environmental metabarcoding datasets with differing characteristics. By tasking machine learning models that capture the ecological relationship between the biotic community composition and environmental parameters for the same samples, this benchmark accounts for the interaction effects between different common data preprocessing and machine learning methods. Our results demonstrate that, while the optimal feature selection approach depends on dataset characteristics, feature selection is more likely to impair model performance than to improve it for tree ensemble models like Random Forests. Furthermore, our results show that calculating relative counts impairs model performance, which suggests that novel methods to combat the compositionality of metabarcoding data are required.

description: This thesis is a survey of the post-World War II relations of the British, French, and German labor movements with the European Community. Part I describes key structural, political, economic, and historical characteristics of each country's labor movement, particularly the activities of the major national labor federations. Part II traces the growth of the West European labor movement. It analyzes the European Trade Union Confederation as an interest group and how it operates in the European Community to shape public policy at the transnational level. Part III examines two policy issues which illustrate the current relations of European unions and the European Community in the context of 1992 reforms: the campaign for a social charter of workers' rights and the establishment of European-level collective bargaining and consultations. The conclusion speculates about the future impact of labor unions in shaping social and economic policy in the European Community.
title: Globales Lernen aus systemtheoretischer Perspektive
Creators: name: Mikolasch, Daniela
Year: 2013

description: Das Thema der Arbeit ist eine systemtheoretische Auseinandersetzung mit der Reflexion von Globalität. Es handelt sich um eine Literaturarbeit, die auf der Grundlage der Schriften von Niklas Luhmann und dem Konzept des Globalen Lernens aufbaut. Nach einer inhaltlichen und konzeptionellen Beschreibung des Globalen Lernens wird auf unterschiedliche Kompetenzmodelle und die Kompetenzen des Globalen Lernens eingegangen. Der Schlüsselkompetenz Reflexionsfähigkeit wird ein eigenes Kapitel gewidmet. Es wird darin die Frage gestellt, wodurch sich die Reflexion von Globalität als Schlüsselkompetenz auszeichnet. Diesem folgt eine knappe Darlegung des Funktionssystems Erziehung gemäß Luhmann und eine begriffliche Beschreibung von häufig verwendeten Begriffen im Globalen Lernen und in der Systemtheorie. Zum Schluss wird geprüft, wie und ob das Globale Lernen an die Systemtheorie anschlussfähig ist. Die Autorin fasst systemtheoretische Anstöße zusammen, welche bei der Weiterentwicklung von Globalem Lernen anwendbar sind. Die Erkenntnis der gesamten Arbeit stützt sich auf den Begriff der Kommunikation, welche gegeben sein muss, um Systeme zu erhalten.
description: The aim of this thesis is a system-theoretical analysis of reflection of globality. The thesis consists of literature research based on the foundation of global education. After a contentual and conceptual description of global education, an elaboration on the different models of competencies and skills of global education is given. A separate chapter is devoted to reflective faculty as a key competence. This chapter raises the question how the reflection of globality is characterised as a key competence. This is followed by a concise explanation of the functional system of education, and by the conceptual description of frequently used terms in global education and in systems theory. Finally, it is assessed if and how global education is compatible with systems theory. The author summarizes system-theoretical impulses that are applicable to the further development of global education. The finding of the entire thesis is based on the concept of communication, which has to remain compatible in order to maintain systems.

description: We analyze a two-player game of strategic experimentation with two-armed bandits. Each player has to decide in continuous time whether to use a safe arm with a known payoff or a risky arm whose likelihood of delivering payoffs is initially unknown. The quality of the risky arms is perfectly negatively correlated between players. In marked contrast to the case where both risky arms are of the same type, we find that learning will be complete in any Markov perfect equilibrium if the stakes exceed a certain threshold, and that all equilibria are in cutoff strategies. For low stakes, the equilibrium is unique, symmetric, and coincides with the planner's solution. For high stakes, the equilibrium is unique, symmetric, and tantamount to myopic behavior. For intermediate stakes, there is a continuum of equilibria.

title: Vernetzung der rechten Szene im Internet
Creators: name: Dorner, Philipp
Year: 2014

description: Diese Arbeit besteht aus zwei Themenschwerpunkten: Auf der einen Seite der moderne Rechtsextremismus, auf der anderen das Internet als eines der von RechtsextremistInnen genutzten modernen Medien. Innerhalb der Arbeit werden theoretische Grundkenntnisse über die „neuen Rechten“, Gemeinsamkeiten unterschiedlicher rechtsextremer Gruppierungen, sowie deren Verknüpfung mit dem „Hybridmedium“ Internet abgehandelt. Aufbauend darauf folgt im empirischen Teil die Vorstellung und Anwendung der Methoden der Inhaltsanalyse, Layoutanalyse, Inhaltspunkteanalyse und der hermeneutischen Videoclipanalyse. Diese stellen sich innerhalb dieser Arbeit als zuverlässige Werkzeuge für die Analyse rechtsextremer Webinhalte heraus. Die Methoden wurden so konzipiert, dass eine Analyse unterschiedlicher Webinhalte auf wissenschaftlicher Basis prinzipiell möglich sein sollte.
Effect of display orientation on character detection of characters on VDT screens
Creators: name: Salamati-Zavareh, Soheila
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: In this study, a comparison was made between two CRT display angles: 10 and 45 degrees. The hypothesis was that if you have an ergonomically designed workstation and the CRT is tilted at 45-degree angle, making it perpendicular to the line of sight, there would be an improvement in character detection and productivity. My approach for comparing the two display angles was to randomly assign both display-angle conditions to 38 subjects, measuring their average speed and accuracy. These paired responses were then analyzed by computing their differences. The results indicated that there had in fact been a decrease in accuracy in switching from a 10-degree display to a 45-degree display. Lack of familiarity with a 45-degree display may have produced this difference. Ergonomics and workstation design are important considerations in using computer screens. My results suggest that more research is needed on human factors involved in display orientation and workstation design.
