title: Eine qualitative-quantitative Erfassung der Makromyzeten des Waldgebietes "Im Hochholz" in Bischofstetten bei Melk
Creators: name: Bäuchler, Stefanie
Year: 2019

description: Im Zuge der vorliegenden Arbeit wurde eine qualitativ-quantitative Erfassung der Makromyzeten im Waldgebiet „Im Hochholz“ im Bezirk Melk im Sommerhalbjahr 2018 vorgenommen. Das Untersuchungsgebiet wurde durchschnittlich in einem Rhythmus von zwei bis drei Wochen von Juni bis Oktober nach seinem Pilzaufkommen untersucht. Die festgestellten Taxa wurden exemplarisch entnommen, getrocknet und im Anschluss mit Hilfe von Frau Prof. Mag. Dr. Irmgard Krisai-Greilhuber am Department für Botanik und Biodiversitätsforschung der Universität Wien bestimmt. Das Hauptaugenmerk der Arbeit liegt in der Erfassung der Biodiversität der Makromyzeten im Untersuchungsgebiet sowie der Zusammensetzung der festgestellten Taxa anhand ihrer ökologischen Gruppen. Die Arbeit folgt der Frage welche Rolle Pilze im Ökosystem Wald einnehmen bzw. wie sich die Vegetation des Waldes und das Pilzvorkommen gegenseitig beeinflussen. Die gefundenen Taxa wurden systematisch geordnet und anhand ihrer morphologischen Merkmale und trophischen Lebensweise beschrieben. Weiters wurden die ausgewerteten Daten mit bereits vorhandenen Funddaten verglichen und anhand der Gemeinsamkeiten bzw. Abweichungen ausgewertet. Insgesamt wurden 86 verschiedene Taxa im Untersuchungsgebiet festgestellt. 83 Arten gehören den Basidiomycota an, bei den restlichen drei Arten handelt es sich um Vertreter der Myxogastria. Die Taxa umfassen zehn verschiedene Ordnungen. Die Hälfte der gefundenen Arten gehört den Agaricales an. Beim Großteil der Arten handelt es sich um Saprotrophe. Besonders lignicole Arten sind mit 43% stark vertreten.
description: This diploma thesis is a qualitative-quantitative recording of the macromycetes of the forestland „Im Hochholz“, (district Melk), that occurred in the summer half-year 2018. Sampling took place in a rhythm of 2 to 3 weeks from June to October. The collected taxa were dried and then taken to Prof. Mag. Dr. Irmgard Krisai-Greilhuber from the Department of Botanic and Biodiversity Research of the University of Vienna to be identified. The main aim of this thesis is the recording of the biodiversity of macromycetes in the study area und the composition of the different ecological groups. The questions of which role fungi take in the ecosystem forest and which interactions there are between plants and fungi are adressed. The collected species were ordered taxonomically and described based on their morphological and ecological traits. In a further step the evaluated data was compared with an already existing dataset and then analysed for correlations resp. divergencies. All in all, there were 86 different taxa that could be recorded in the study area. From which 83 species belong to the division of basidiomycota, the other three are slime molds. The taxa collected belong to ten orders. Half of the species are Agaricales. The majority of the species lives saprothrophic. Particularly lignicole taxa are represented.
title: "No-one's ever asked me before": On Analysing subjective accounts of hearing voices and person- centred therapy
Creators: name: Rundle, Kirshen
Publisher: name: The University of East London
Year: 2017

description: There has been considerable debate about the value of psychological therapies for voice hearers who suffer such distress that they seek psychiatric help. To date, however, the utility of person-centred therapy for this client group has not been investigated.
A convenience sample of ten participants who heard voices and had decided to start person-centred therapy was recruited from the researcher’s caseloads at a NHS mental health trust, an independent low-secure psychiatric unit and a counselling agency. On completion of their therapy, participants were interviewed about their experiences of therapy and of hearing voices. Data were analysed using a thematic approach informed by relational existential-phenomenological ideas. Brief consideration was also given to qualitative and quantitative outcomes.
Three themes were identified that referred to how participants recollected their experiences of voices before the therapy: i) An unwelcome intrusion; ii) “Feeling like a freak”; iii) Poignant yearning for things to be different. A fourth theme referred to participants’ accounts of their voices once that therapy had concluded: iv) Changing experiences, different views - sometimes.
Four themes related to their subjective experiences of person-centred therapy: i) Being treated like a person; ii) Being offered possibilities; iii) Forging a way through; iv) It’s not always just about the voices.
In general, participants gave positive accounts of person-centred therapy suggesting it could be a useful option for this client group. There was, however, some variation in response. Findings demonstrated the importance of engaging with individual voice hearer perspectives on their unusual experiences, and on what might alleviate their associated distress.
There was some evidence of reliable and clinically significant change which was explored in relation to qualitative findings. Issues around the use of symptom related measures to test effectiveness of therapy are discussed.
Some implications of this analysis for a person-centred understanding of the meaning of voice hearing are offered, with a focus on the potential for growth.
Limitations of the study relating to the dual therapist-researcher relationship and to the homogeneity and size of sample are discussed.

description: Agricultural researchers in developing countries were not able to give much attention on the adoption studies of agricultural technologies until the period of Green Revolution. These technologies are disseminated in rural farming community by agricultural extension professionals to boost farm efficiencies and productivity. This paper presents the systematic review of methods employed by previous researchers in studying agricultural technology adoption with special reference to rice. The review focuses on the study of rice technologies adoption in the Philippines and other related studies conducted by a Filipino author in other countries in the Asian Region. From 391 adoption studies identified, 22 papers were selected and included in the review. These papers were retrieved from Scopus database. This review revealed that papers focused on studying the adoption of rice cultivation practices employed quantitative techniques. Institutional factors were found to critically influence the decision-making of the farmers to adopt production technologies.

MOOD, PERSONALITY, AND TASK PERFORMANCE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN BORED AND NONBORED COLLEGE STUDENTS
Creators: name: Hoage, Carole Meininger
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023
Subjects: classificationCode: 5203
subject: Clinical and health psychology

description: Boredom of a chronic nature has been largely ignored by research psychologists yet identified by social commentators as a major problem confronting teenagers and young adults today. In this study, forty chronically bored and forty rarely bored college students were identified by a self-report questionnaire and then compared on mood, personality, and task performance variables. Bored students were found to be more depressed than nonbored students on the Beck Depression Inventory, supporting a theory that boredom is a symptom of depression. On the Revised Repression-Sensitization Scale, bored students scored significantly higher than nonbored in the sensitizing direction, suggesting that they are especially sensitive to negative stimuli, rather than repressive of responses to such stimuli. On the Cattell 16 Personality Factor Questionnaire, bored students were found to be significantly more tense, affected by feelings, apprehensive, shy, and uncontrolled than nonbored students. Overall, on mood and personality measures bored students presented a picture of general distress, including mild depression, tension, and sensitivity to threatening stimuli. Bored and nonbored students were also given pencil-and-paper tasks that were either boring or interesting and compared on time worked, amount completed, percent error, and interest in tasks. Bored students were found to report significantly more boredom during tasks but, in spite of that boredom, performed no differently overall than nonbored students on the three measures of task performance. In fact, bored students reporting high levels of boredom completed far more of their tasks than nonbored students reporting high levels of boredom. Based on all the data, it is hypothesized that bored students may have some inner constraints that restrain them from taking necessary steps to escape boredom. Further, the nature of these constraints--depression, tension, shyness, and worry--are familiar ones to mental health practitioners and could potentially be alleviated by readily available treatment techniques.
title: Das Wiener Bekleidungsgewerbe auf dem Weg zur Industrie
Creators: name: Hödl, Michael
Year: 2019

description: Wien war einst das ökonomische und modische Zentrum der Kleider-, Wäsche- und Putzwarenherstellung der Habsburgermonarchie. Den Mittelpunkt der industriellen Produktion von Bekleidungsartikeln stellte der 7. Wiener Gemeindebezirk dar. Die Arbeit versucht, mit einer Schwerpunktsetzung auf die Schneiderei, Pfaidlerei und Putzmacherei darzulegen, wie sich das Bekleidungsgewerbe im Laufe des 19. Jahrhunderts in Wien verändert und von einem traditionell-handwerklich organisierten Arbeitsfeld zu einer das Reich dominierenden Industrie mit namhaften inländischen und ausländischen Exporten entwickelt hat. Da ein wirtschaftsgeschichtliches Interesse im Vordergrund steht, stützt sich die Arbeit vor allem auf die Statistischen Tafeln der Monarchie, Berichte der Handels- und Gewerbekammer und auf Handels- und Gewerbe-Adressbücher. Damit soll eine quantitative Einordnung der Beschäftigungszahlen und Gewerbeunternehmungen erreicht, durchschnittliche Betriebsgrößen geschätzt sowie Entwicklungen und Veränderungen im Gewerbe nachvollzogen werden. Letztlich konnten die Ausgangslage der drei schneidernden Gewerbe zu Beginn des 19. Jahrhunderts und die Bedingungen für einen Wandel der Arbeitsweise und Arbeitsstruktur dargestellt werden. Damit zeigt sich eine unaufhaltbare industrielle Dynamik des Wiener Bekleidungsgewerbes, die im frühen 19. Jahrhundert grundgelegt wurde und ab den 1850er Jahren einsetzte. Die Innenbezirke Wiens, allen voran der Bezirk Neubau, erwiesen sich dabei als ideale Produktionsorte, die dem Gewerbe einen Sonderweg der industriellen Entwicklung ermöglichten. In den dicht verbauten Wiener Vorstädten kam es durch die Etablierung einer im Verlag organisierten Produktion zum Aufleben von Kleinbetrieben, die sich rasch an neue Modetrends anpassen konnten und den Gewerbetreibenden das wirtschaftliche Überleben gegenüber Großbetrieben und Kleiderfabriken garantierten. Ein Ausblick am Ende der Arbeit stellt den Entwicklungsverlauf des Wiener Bekleidungsgewerbes bis in das 20. Jahrhundert dar und thematisiert den Export von Bekleidungsartikeln, gewerberechtliche Veränderungen und soziale Konflikte zwischen UnternehmerInnen und ArbeiterInnen.

title: From Support to Solidarity: Refugees' Interactions with Church Communities in London
Creators: name: Sutton, Mary
Publisher: name: The University of East London
Year: 2017

description: This study explores the role of church communities in the everyday lives of refugees in London.  It is concerned with how refugees’ interactions with church communities contribute to their strategies to establish community and home in new geographical locations.  Such a study makes an important contribution to understanding how refugees, as social agents, actively seek solutions for their lives and how civil society responds to refugees at a time when states are failing to fulfil their obligations to them.  
This research adopts a lived religion approach which recognises the importance of the agency of individuals and collectivities such as church communities, as well as the power of organisational actors such as religious institutions.  The idea of religion as lived experience allows for consideration of the way religion can cross boundaries through the everyday strategies of individuals.  Consequently, in-depth interviews with refugees, clergy and laity were a very important source of data for this study.  Data was also collected and recorded during ethnographic fieldwork which took place in 2013 in churches and refugee centres across the city of London.  
The evidence from this study showed that finding a place of belonging is the most important objective in refugees’ choice of church communities even if it means crossing the boundaries of Christian denominations or of religious faith to achieve this.  The evidence also revealed that church communities go beyond filling the gap in state welfare provision by providing refugees with access to social networks and to advocates who can represent them in acts of solidarity. 
The first of two main conclusions drawn from this study is that the opportunity for refugees to choose and act in the social context of church communities counteracts the disenfranchisement that is often experienced by them in other areas of life.  Secondly, when solidarity with refugees is based on notions of common humanity then hospitality is given to the Other as an equal thus reducing the risk of a dominant group merely accommodating and tolerating the stranger.

title: Exploring Young People's Experiences on Social Networking Sites
Creators: name: Rehim, Shrehan
Publisher: name: The University of East London
Year: 2017

description: Abstract
Online Social Networking Sites (SNS) are a ubiquitous platform for communication and have been considered as one of the most significant changes to how young people interact today. Whilst SNS bring many opportunities, they have also been used as a tool for harassment and abuse online. The term ‘cyberbullying’, is most widely used to describe this phenomenon. A growing body of research demonstrates that cyberbullying has the potential to detrimentally impact young people’s wellbeing. However, this impact is not universal as not all young people describe being negatively affected by cyberbullying. In spite of this, little is known about what mediates the impact of cyberbullying and how resilience is maintained in the face of such challenges.  The aim of this study was to qualitatively explore young people’s constructions of negative experiences on SNS and understand the influences and processes mediating such experiences. 
Fourteen participants (16-18 years old) with previous negative experiences on SNS took part in semi-structured interviews. Interviews were analysed using grounded theory methodology. One core category was constructed: ‘(Re)building self-concept and protective shielding’. It captures the process of making sense of, responding to and resisting the effects of a negative experience online involving complex inter-relationships between the online, individual, social and political context. Central to the findings was participant’s experience of an attack on their self-concept. From being targeted online, participants described harnessing control and responding in several ways (such as using technical strategies, confiding in trusted relationships, re-focusing on meaningful activities and roles) to buffer against the negative impact and (re)build their self-concept. Through this process they gained awareness and took control over their self-narrative which facilitated the development of a protective buffer against future attacks. Limitations of these findings and their implications for future research and practice are considered.
title: Using a game-like procedure as a new test of problem solving and concept formation in children
Creators: name: Pavitt, Anne
Publisher: name: The University of East London
Year: 2017

description: Concept formation is a complex cognitive process which allows us to identify, categorise, and determine rules from sets of experiences alongside developing cognitive representations for complex thoughts, behaviours, and events. Concept formation abilities are highly important for children’s performances in school, socially, and therefore throughout their lives. Yet, most of the tests that are used to measure concept formation in children were developed for use with adults; very few have been specifically designed for children. 
This study is the first phase of test development. It addressed whether a new game of concept formation, the Alien Game, could capture executive functions in a group of 18 typically developing children. The game was based on the 20-Questions task and a game-like structure was adopted in order to engage participants. Codes were generated from a two-phase content analysis carried out using previous research and the children’s responses within this study. The task was also interpreted using an Abstraction Score, a Learning Slope, an Initial Abstraction Score, a Weighted Achievement Score, and a Time to First Question measure. 
The content analysis indicated that similar patterns were found among the children’s responses, with the  children using a majority of ‘Constraint seeking’ questions. The Abstraction Score, Initial Abstraction Score, and Weighted Achievement Score addressed separate aspects of the questions asked, and were each designed to assess the quality of questions asked. 
These results indicate that this task could potentially be used as a formal cognitive test. This needs to be further developed through future research on norms, reliability, and validity. Clinically, the Alien Game shows potential of being used as a neuropsychological tool which could be used to capture deficits in children’s concept formation early, in order for appropriate interventions and support to be put in place at a younger age.

Year: 2019

description: Es wurden in dieser Arbeit die beiden Romane Tels des astres éteints von Léonora Miano und Behold the Dreamers von Imbolo Mbue verglichen, die beide aus dem Kamerun stammen, aber seit längerer Zeit im Westen leben. Nach einer Einleitung, die sich dem Schreiben weiblicher kamerunischer Autorinnen widmete, behandelte das zweite Kapitel Fragen im Bezug auf Identität. Besprochen wurde die Rolle des Individuums in der Gesellschaft zwischen Individualismus und Kommunitarismus, sowie Diaspora-Identitäten. Im darauffolgenden dritten Kapitel wurde die Entwicklung afrikanischer feministischer Konzepte besprochen, Kapitel vier fokussierte dann die Masculinity Studies. Auf den Theorieteil folgte in Kapitel fünf die ausführliche Analyse der beiden Romane und im Resümee wurden die eingangs gestellten Forschungsfragen dieser Arbeit beantwortet: (1) Welche Konflikte ergeben sich, wenn die afrikanischen Charaktere in westliche Großstädte ziehen? Welche Identitätskonstruktionen ergeben sich daraus? (2) Ist moderner Individualismus für die afrikanischen weiblichen und männlichen Hauptcharaktere der beiden Werke möglich? Können sie ihre Leben in der Diaspora frei gestalten? Verursacht das soziale Geschlecht (Gender) dabei einen Unterschied? (3) Wie gehen die beiden Romane mit der Idealisierung von westlichen Gesellschaften um? Werden Frankreich bzw. die USA idealisiert?
title: ‘We need to remind them they are people too’: The experience of group therapy for Anorexia Nervosa: A qualitative study from Psychologists’ perspectives.
Creators: name: Phillips, Rachael
Publisher: name: The University of East London
Year: 2017

description: In seeking to gain a greater understanding around group therapy for Anorexia Nervosa (anorexia), this study explored what psychologists perceive to be useful and not so useful about working in this complex setting. Qualitative research studies, with a focus on process, are limited in this field. Existing literature predominates its exploration of clients’ experiences, and neglects to consider the perspective of the therapist. This research study aimed to address this gap in the literature. Interviews with eight participants were conducted and transcribed verbatim. They were then subject to analysis, using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) approaches. Researcher reflexivity was carried out throughout the various phases of the research, and are highlighted in the text.  
Three superordinate themes were created from the findings produced in the analysis. These were titled; Connecting with others, Them against us, and Addressing the elephant in the room. These themes aimed to encapsulate findings of participants’ perceptions of what is useful and not so useful about running therapeutic groups for those experiencing anorexia. Likewise, the themes shared participants’ observations of how psychologists’ experience facilitating group therapy for those suffering from anorexia. The participants offered recommendations as to how to manage the perceived challenges in the group setting. 
From the perspective of the participants’, the group was seen as a unique and powerful tool in encouraging a plethora of positive therapeutic factors, and had many positive implications for clients meeting others who shared similar difficulties. The participants considered the group process to be capable of alleviating individuals’ social isolation, commonly attributed to those suffering from anorexia, and aid in establishing a support network and building interpersonal relationships. Limitations of group therapy in this context were highlighted, and the role of the group in the development of ambivalence and the exacerbation of symptoms, was discussed. 
The findings and their relationship to Labelling Theory were explored, alongside their implications for future clinical practice. Such implications included a focus on the use of stigmatising language, the overall structure of the group, specific interventions, and the use of the relational approach to therapeutic work. The relevance of the findings to Counselling Psychology practice were highlighted, and evaluation of the strengths and limitations of the study were addressed, alongside recommendations for future research.

Year: 2017

description: Internet usage across the globe has grown exponentially over the past sixteen years from 361 million users in 2000 to 3.68 billion users in 2016, constituting an increase of over 918% (Miniwatts Marketing Group, 2016a).  The increase in utilization and advancement of communication technologies has led to an increase in the prevalence of cyberstalking (Parsons-Pollard & Moriarty, 2009). Consequently, cyberstalking has become a global epidemic (Maple, Short & Brown, 2011). However, in contrast to the ubiquitous nature of cyberstalking, there is relatively little research examining the impact of cyberstalking on victims (Dressing, Bailer, Anders, Wagner & Gallas, 2014; Parsons-Pollard & Moriarty, 2009).  
The current study aimed to address this paucity in research and explore and understand more about the lived experience of being cyberstalked. Interviews were carried out with five people who had been cyberstalked and transcripts were analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). Three superordinate themes emerged including ‘feeling powerless’, ‘loss’ and ‘trying to make sense of the perpetrator’.  
The findings illuminate the devastating impact of cyberstalking upon victim’s wellbeing with many experiencing suicide ideation to end the torment.  Organisations such as advocacy services, anti-stalking organisations, the police force and employers were found to provide inadequate support and exacerbate feelings of powerlessness.  In coping, participants employed various strategies, but far from alleviating their suffering, such strategies appeared to compound their distress.  The findings highlight the role for Counselling Psychology in providing support to those who have been targeted by a phenomenon that is likely to become more prolific (Parsons-Pollard & Moriarty, 2009).
General Social Surveys: 1972-1978

Year: 1986

description: The National Opinion Research Center General Social Surveys contain over 200 questions, many of which have been asked frequently since the first such survey in 1972. These surveys contain a wealth of data concerning attitudes about civil liberties, racial relations, alienation, satisfaction, confidence in institutions, voting behavior, ratings of foreign countries, desired qualities in children, organization membership, important aspects of a job, fear, guns, television watching and radio listening, personal traumas, and various social issues such as the death penalty, abortion, sexual relations, and ERA. Some questions ask respondents to locate themselves on a scale between two positions on an issue. Detailed demographics are included.
Beaming bunches of neutrinos across the Earth to telegraph and comunicate faster then light

description: Neutrinos, of course, cannot fly faster than light. A decade ago this illusion was spread among CERN and Gran Sasso teams, but it was soon found inconsistent (1) and, later, wrong. However a rich bunch of neutrinos while crossing the whole Earth volume, might reach the target earlier than any light signal. Indeed any light trajectory have to circumnavigate along a longer Earth circle or arc, while neutrino flight is a direct, shorter one. The muon neutrino detectors at tens GeVs as large as present ICECUBE, Gigaton array, or Megatons ones as Deep Core or Hyper.Kamiokande, might observe one or few trace of upgoing muon track among the thousands of billions neutrino beamed (2) from CERN or FermiLab accelerators. Such telegraph comunication system might be a very useful tool for future speculative fast economy responses. But such beaming might also test the Earth interior, the peculiar Mikheyev-Smirnov-Wolfenstein effect, and , in principle, rare fundamental quantum phenomena while correlating neutrino bunch with a photon bunch observed later on same target place.
THE EFFECT OF POTENTIAL ON THE STRESS CORROSION CRACKING OF ALUMINUM ALLOY 7075

description: The effect of the potential on the stress corrosion cracking of an aluminum alloy was interpreted in terms of the potential of zero charge of the metal. Two techniques, the determination of the isoelectric point and capacitance measurement, were used to measure the potential of zero charge on aluminum in various electrolyte solutions. Anion adsorption onto the hydrated alumina surface to form a complex ion shifts the isoelectric point of alumina to the acidic range. The capacity values in sodium salt solutions were stable and low due to the presence of the oxide film. Double bolt loaded cantilever beam specimens were used to study the anion effect and electrical effect on stress corrosion cracking (SCC) of AA 7075-T651. Increasing chloride ion concentration up to about 0.6M increased the SCC plateau growth rate, presumably by increasing the activation of the aluminum surface. At higher concentrations the cracking was lower, perhaps because of lower solubility of oxygen in the solution. The activity of water in aqueous solutions of various salts did not correlate with the SCC rates, indicating that specific ion effects dominated. The nitrate ion is reduced by aluminum alloy 7075 to ammonia, though this is slow in concentrated nitrate solutions; perchlorate ion was not observed to be reduced to soluble chloride. In general, the substances which activated the aluminum surface as by forming soluble complex ions with aluminum caused rapid cracking, though there were exceptions such as benzoate, which inhibited corrosion but promoted SCC. The effect of electrical potential on SCC of AA 7075 in 1N NaCl solution yields a minimum crack growth at -0.900 V/SCE. This is probably due to the formation of the stable but soluble complex ions in the vicinity of the isoelectric point. The rate of SCC in various commercial plates of 7075 was similar in some environments, but very different from plate to plate in other environments.

title: Die zweite Generation erzählen lassen
Creators: name: Wehr, Samantha
Year: 2019

description: Ziel der vorliegenden Diplomarbeit ist es, einen Einblick in den privaten Erinnerungsalltag sudetendeutscher Familien in Österreich und die Sichtweisen der zweiten Generation zur Vertreibungsgeschichte sowie Konzepten wie Heimat und Identität zu gewinnen. Aufbauend auf aktuellen Erinnerungs- und Gedächtnistheorien, wie dem ‚kollektiven Gedächtnis‘ und ‚Familiengedächtnis‘, fokussiert das Forschungsinteresse die Rolle der Nachkommen von vertriebenen Sudetendeutschen im Prozess der interfamiliären Erinnerungstradierung und untersucht vor allem deren Ausprägungen, Träger und Funktionen. Dafür wurden acht biografische Interviews mit Personen geführt, die zumindest einen in der ehemaligen Tschechoslowakei geborenen Elternteil mit Flucht- und/oder Vertreibungshintergrund besitzen. Nach der Methode der Oral History wurden die teilstrukturierten Leitfadeninterviews mit der hermeneutischen Methode für qualitative Interviews themenzentriert und korpus-intern zusammengezogen ausgewertet. Die Ergebnisse zeigen bereits für das entsprechend begrenzte Sample erhebliche Unterschiede in den Formen der Erinnerungsweitergabe zwischen den Generationen und dem Bezug zur Familienvergangenheit auf. Neben der Schlüsselrolle des mündlichen Erzählens für den Fortbestand des Familiengedächtnisses wurden weitere Praktiken und Objekte der Erinnerung in den Lebenswelten der Befragten verortet. Trotz dieser Vielfalt eint die Interviewpartner/innen dennoch die Bindung an ihre ‚Heimat‘ Österreich, die Ablehnung einer sudetendeutschen ‚Identität‘ und, großteils, die Übernahme gewisser negativer Wertungen der heutigen tschechischen Bevölkerung. Dennoch zeichnen sich in den Wünschen der Befragten nach einem angemessenen öffentlichen Gedenken an die deutsche Flucht und Vertreibung und einem Schlussstrich unter die Vergangenheit Möglichkeiten zur deutsch-tschechischen Verständigung ab. Weitere Studien zum Familiengedächtnis sudetendeutscher Familien wären speziell im Hinblick auf die Rolle der dritten Generation wünschenswert.
