title: Zur "Sekundarität" und zur Kulturspezifik eines Kommunikationsaktes. Eine Fallstudie
Creators: name: Kniffka, Hannes

Year: 2023

description: In diesem Aufsatz sollen einige Beobachtungen und Fragen sowie ein Beispiel en miniature zum Kultur(en)kontakt und -kontrast diskutiert werden. Die Diskussion ist stark verkürzt und programmatisch. Themabedingt werden weit mehr Fragen gestellt als beantwortet oder gar bündig beantwortet. Fragen wie Warum werden eigentlich nur einige wenige, und immer wieder dieselben "Sprechakte", Kommunkationshandlungen, Sprechsituationen u.dgl. (kulturvergleichend) untersucht? "Auffordern", "bitten", "nach dem Weg fragen", "danken", "entschuldigen" ... Ist das alles, was es (zu vergleichen) gibt? Wären (nicht) Kommunikationshandlungen wie "(verbale) Gewalt antun", "schikanieren", "provozieren", "kondolieren...", "nachäffen", "veröcheln/verömmeln", "gleich- und gemischtgeschlechtlich (peer group intern) sauigeln", "anmachen", "antörnen", "anhimmeln", "lobhudeln", "Honig um den Bart schmieren", "aufziehen", "(verbal und/oder nonverbal) auf den Arm nehmen" ebensogute Kandidaten für ein kulturvergleichendes Studium sprachlichen Verhaltens? Ingredienzien von zentraler Bedeutung für die Beschreibung u.a. von Sprachkontakt- und Sprachkonflikt?

description: Ein Blick in das Zentralnervensystem, wie ihn moderne bildgebende Verfahren wie die Positronen-Emissions-Tomographie (PET) oder andere technische Möglichkeiten eröffnen, offenbart eine faszinierende Welt. Insbesondere die drei Rindenteile des Großhirns - Palaeo-, Archi- und Neocortex - wo etwa 10 Milliarden Neuronen mit mehrenen Billionen synaptischer Umschaltstellen angenommen werden (Zilles, 1994, S. 178) und wesentliche mentale Prozesse ablaufen, haben die Aufmerksamkeit der Forschung der letzten Jahre auf sich gezogen.

description: Die Weiterentwicklung des kommunikativen zum interkulturellen Ansatz in der Fremdsprachendidaktik hat zu einer deutlichen Aufwertung des Wortes 'Kultur' und seiner verschiedenen Ableitungen im Rahmen des Faches Deutsch als Fremdsprache geführt. In nahezu allen Veröffentlichungen ist von 'Kultur', von 'kulturspezifischen' oder 'kulturbedingten' Verhaltens- oder Denkmustern, von 'interkulturellem', 'kulturkontrastivem' oder 'kulturvergleichendem' Vorgehen, von der Dialektik von 'eigener' und 'fremder Kultur', von 'Kulturschock' oder 'Kulturverstehen' die Rede. Insbesondere in neueren Versuchen, den Gegenstand und die spezifischen Forschungsmethoden des Faches Deutsch als Fremdsprache genauer zu definieren und abzugrenzen, wird die prominente Rolle des Kulturbegriffs sichtbar, die es erlaubt, von 'Kultur' als einem Kernbegriff des Faches zu sprechen. So bringt etwa Konrad Ehlich sicherlich einen gewissen Konsens des Faches zum Ausdruck, wenn er auf die Notwendigkeit hinweist, Sprache im Rahmen des Faches Deutsch als Fremdsprache nicht nur als isoliertes System, sondern "im umfassenden Zusammenhang und als Ausdruck von Kultur zu verstehen", der kulturhermeneutische Aspekt des Fremdverstehens als zentraler Gegenstand des Faches aufzufassen (Ehlich, 1994, 314 f.). Ähnlich heißt es auch in Hans-Jürgen Krumms Wiener Antrittsvorlesung, "interkulturelles Lernen" stehe im "Zentrum des Deutsch als Fremdsprache-Unterrichts", denn: "Fremdsprachenlernen heißt: Zugang zu einer anderen Kultur suchen" (Krumm, 1994, 27 f.).

description: We analyze $V$-band photometry of the aperiodic variability in T CrB. By applying a simple idea of angular momentum transport in the accretion disc, we have developed a method to simulate the statistical distribution of flare durations with the assumption that the aperiodic variability is produced by turbulent elements in the disc. Both cumulative histograms with Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests, and power density spectra are used to compare the observed data and simulations. The input parameters of the model $R_{\rm in}$ and $α$ are correlated on a certain interval and the most probable values are an inner disc radius of $R_{\rm in} \simeq 4 \times 10^9$ cm and a viscosity of $α\simeq 0.9$. The disc is then weakly truncated. We find that the majority of turbulent events producing flickering activity are concentrated in the inner parts of the accretion disc.

title: Rezension: JÖRG ROCHE and THOMAS SALUMETS (Eds.): Germanics Under Construction. Intercultural and Interdisciplinary Prospects
Creators: name: Gölz, Peter
Publisher: name: Universitäts- und Landesbibliothek Darmstadt
Year: 2023

description: To review an anthology is always problematic. Of course, the quality of contributions will differ widely and some of them will actually expand the field and others will only marginally contribute to it. In the case of Germanics under Construction: Intercultural and Interdisciplinary Prospects, edited by Jörg Roche and Thomas Salumets (both from the University of British Columbia), this does not seem to be the case. Although there are differences in the quality and length of the contributions, all in all this anthology does fulfil its goal, namely to "explore the potential" of German Studies without being restricted to 'things German' but rather including "the study of a national culture in a 'foreign' country" (7). Continuing the discussion begun by the special issues of German Quarterly (1989), German Studies Review (1990), and the Monatshefte issue on New Historicism and German Studies (1992), this anthology traces the recent developments in German Studies and gives an overview of various approaches to the field. What makes this anthology particularly interesting is that it does not focus on one aspect of German Studies, i.e. literary/cultural theories or didactics, but rather allows the reader to form an informed opinion of the state of German Studies in the mid-1990s.
A mixed method study of mood disorders in mothers of children with autism spectrum disorder and mothers of typically-developing children
Creators: name: Batarseh, Haifa Shafeek
Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 2015

description: This mixed method study examined mood disorders in mothers who were rearing a child with ASD.. The objective of the quantitative section of the study was to examine the occurrence of maternal depression and bipolar disorders in mothers of children with ASD compared to mothers of typically developing (TD) children. The Depression History Questionnaire that was adapted from Interactive Autism Network (IAN) at Kennedy Krieger Institute (KKI) database was used for this comparison. The qualitative section of the study explored the meaning of the lived experience of mothers who concurrently were depressed and rearing a children with ASD using a phenomenological approach. Results of the quantitative inquiry indicated that mothers of children with ASD report a history of: (a) depression and bipolar disorder; (b) treatment for depression or bipolar disorder; (c) suicidal ideation or suicidal attempts; and (d) depression, bipolar disorder, and suicide among the participantsâ€™ first and second-degree relatives more frequently than mothers of TD children. The following five emerged themes emerged from the qualitative exploration: a) Regardless of when I was first diagnosed, having a child with ASD contributed to and intensified my depression; b) I feel a lack of support and understanding either from my husband, the extended family, or the community; c) Challenges and stressors of rearing a child with ASD are ongoing; what I do is never enough and is physically and mentally exhausting; d) It is difficult to balance all aspects of my life; it may be less demanding if I sacrifice one of my roles; and finally, e) There is a history of mental health challenges in my family. These findings provide valuable insight about concurrently coping with depression and rearing a child with ASD and propose interventions to address the challenge.

Quasinormal modes of black holes and black branes

description: Quasinormal modes are eigenmodes of dissipative systems. Perturbations of classical gravitational backgrounds involving black holes or branes naturally lead to quasinormal modes. The analysis and classification of the quasinormal spectra requires solving non-Hermitian eigenvalue problems for the associated linear differential equations. Within the recently developed gauge-gravity duality, these modes serve as an important tool for determining the near-equilibrium properties of strongly coupled quantum field theories, in particular their transport coefficients, such as viscosity, conductivity and diffusion constants. In astrophysics, the detection of quasinormal modes in gravitational wave experiments would allow precise measurements of the mass and spin of black holes as well as new tests of general relativity. This review is meant as an introduction to the subject, with a focus on the recent developments in the field.

Methodology and Discourse Analysis: Containment or Paradox? (Methodological Approach)

Subjects: Discourse, Analysis, Method, Text, Interpretation.

description: Abstract

Discourse "in general" and "literary discourse" in particular opens up a space of questions and inquiries, as it is characterized by density. And allegorical Language, subjectivity and ideology There is the first meaning that we notice at first glance... and there is the second meaning that is not understood until after a stage of putting thought into practice and understanding what is between the lines. Therefore, it is necessary to look at the curricula that dealt with the idea of “discourse in the text” from a balanced perspective, including flexibility and comprehensiveness, which makes the “other”(i.e. the discourse) (the idea of containment) contains many problems, questions, and perhaps even contradictions that these approaches suffered from until they reached theorists, critics, and scholars who built their research and reflections on explaining and analyzing the discourse based on the credibility of those approaches, which they saw as the only “savior” for the dilemmas of the text. Which he suffered a lot and still is. So what is meant by the term discourse analysis? How have contemporary curricula extensively crystallized this concept?

description: An optical spectroscopic method based on the principle of electromagnetically-induced transparency (EIT) is proposed as quite a generic probing tool that provides valuable insights into the nature of Fermi paring in ultracold Fermi gases of two hyperfine states. This technique has the capability of allowing spectroscopic response to be determined in a nearly non-destructive manner and the whole spectrum may be obtained by scanning the probe laser frequency faster than the lifetime of the sample without re-preparing the atomic sample repeatedly. A quasiparticle picture is constructed to facilitate a simple physical explanation of the pairing signature in the EIT spectra.

description: We perform a perturbative (near-critical) analysis of the stability of an asymptotically Schroedinger Reissner-Nordstrom black hole with respect to generation of charged scalar hair. We find that apart from the expected instability at low temperatures typical of holographic models of superconductivity, in the presence of certain operators a similar instability appears as well at high temperatures. We propose that the reason for such a phase diagram could be due to peculiar features of the dual gauge theory or the failure of the model to provide a consistent holographic dual of a non-relativistic superconductor.

description: Viele britische und deutsche Universitäten und Fachhochschulen bieten für ihre Studierenden obligatorische Lehrveranstaltungen zur conversation oder oral communication an, innerhalb derer die Vermittlung und Anwendung der gesprochenen Sprache im Vordergrund des Unterrichtsgeschehens steht. Die Verankerung dieser Kurse im Curriculum ist im Prinzip durchaus begrüßenswert, leider ist jedoch die Mehrzahl der in der Praxis stattfindenden Lehrveranstaltungen vom pragmatischen und diskursanalytischen Standpunkt durch eine als paradox zu bewertende Situation charakterisiert, die daraus resultiert, daß hier etwas institutionalisiert ist, was sich 'im normalen Verlauf der Ereignisse' ohne einen formalen Rahmen ergibt. Für alle KommunikationsteilnehmerInnen bedeutet diese Institutionalisierung, daß eine Situation, die sie zuvor im Alltag als unstrukturiert wahrgenommen haben, und in der sie problemlos nach der Maxime "Sei spontan!" handeln konnten, zu einer kommunikativen Herausforderung wird.
Genomic and proteomic analysis in soybean, and building of related databases
Creators: name: Tavakolan, Mona
Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 2014

description: Soybean (Glycine max) is the second most valuable and inexpensive source of proteins for humans and animals in the United States. In this dissertation we analyzed proteomic and genomic data related to soybean. On the proteomics side, we used 2d gel data to identify proteins present in soybean seeds, which is of importance since the seeds are used often in agriculature as feed for animals, or incorporated into food products for human consumption. We also used 2D gel data to identify soybean proteins in the soybean cyst nematode (SCN), which is a major pest of soybean in the United States and causes million dollars losses annually. For both these analysis, we developed publicly available databases that are accessible through the web for researchers to access the data freely. From the genomics side, we used RNA-Seq data to analyze soybean treated with different plant hormones. The goal here was to see how genes in soybean react when treated with one of these hormones: Salicylic acid (SA), Jasmonic acid (JA), auxin (IAA), and ethylene (Eth). Many of these hormones are used in the agirculature industry, so knowing their effect at the molecular level is of importance to human health. We also used pathway visualization tools to map the gene expression measurements we got from the RNA-Seq experiemnts onto biological pathways, to better understand their effects.

description: It was proposed a flavour model based on the symmetry group S4, managing to describe fermion masses and mixings. The Weinberg operator has been used in order to provide the smallness of the neutrino masses, while a set of scalar fields, getting non-vanishing vacuum expectation values, spontaneously breaks down S4 and provides the Tri-Bimaximal pattern as the lepton mixing matrix. Restricting to this setting, in this paper we analyze possible origins for the effective terms: the type I See-Saw mechanism is the best known approach, but also the type II and III are discussed. The phenomenology related to these models is various and the next future experiments could in principle discriminate among these proposals. Furthermore, we compare our realizations to two relevant A4 based models, also predicting the Tri-Bimaximal lepton mixing, and we find that an analysis on the neutrinoless double beta decay parameters could distinguish among all these realizations. Furthermore a combined measurement of the effective mass and of the lightest neutrino mass could indicate in the next future which is the preferred flavour symmetry group. The introduction of new physics beyond the Standard Model, like heavy right-handed neutrinos, scalar triplets and fermion triplets, let us investigate on leptogenesis and this provides constraints in the realization of the models.

Requirements elicitation and qualitative analysis for strategic and contextual capture for enterprise architectures using a case study approach
Creators: name: Rosasco, Nicholas Stephen
Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 2014

description: Enterprise architectures (EAs) aim to develop a tight alignment between an enterprise's environment and its business objectives. To facilitate this, enterprise architecture frameworks (EAFs) have been used to understand both strategy and business architecture to synthesize a supporting information system (IS). This acquired understanding of the background that shapes the functions and goals of an enterprise is then used to drive decision making at the strategic, tactical, and operational levels. Problematically, a formidable barrier - the acquisition of expertise in EA - exists for any enterprise looking to use one of the common EAFs. By guiding the initial data gathering necessary for an EA with the application of a lightweight elicitation mechanism, several facets of EA use can be considered. The research methodology employed for this dissertation uses the case study approach and the coding concepts from Grounded Theory Method to enable derivation of theory-based insights and discovery of generalized concepts applicable to EAFs. The analytic approach uses a closed interview procedure based on an adaptation of the Vision-Mission-Objectives-Strategy-Tactics (VMOST) queries. The level of alignment between other strategic capture artifacts and the interviews is investigated for explicit and implicit variations in the strategic objectives and context. This research gives insight on the use of EAFs and provides a mapping of the VMOST queries to the inputs for an EAF, and offers an enhanced set of VMOST interrogatives. It develops an understanding on the use of qualitative data handling methods within the context of software engineering focused case studies. The analysis of the data following the coding process delivered insights on the utility of the VMOST-derived instrument used during stakeholder interviews, providing a distinct comparison versus the existing documentation-driven approach. This work improves the usability for this powerful body of tools, providing impetus for wider adoption. By executing an active, empirical procedure with a working enterprise, various operational considerations in using the techniques are also exposed for documentation and, potentially, for future investigation based on the discovered theories.

description: Jenseits aller modischen Besinnung auf "Kultur" und "Kulturwissenschaft", die den seit längerem in die Krise geratenen Geisteswissenschaften zu neuem Sinn und Selbstverständnis verhelfen soll, hat sich in den Fremdsprachendisziplinen und hier nicht zuletzt im Fach Deutsch als Fremdsprache in den vergangenen Jahren ein sozusagen "intrinsisches" Interesse an Kultur bzw. Kulturen herauskristallisiert. Insbesondere die Weiterentwicklung der kommunikativen zu einer interkulturellen Fremdsprachendidaktik, die numnehr Sprachdidaktik im engeren Sinn, Literatur und Landeskunde unter dem übergeordneten Lehrziel "Kulturverstehen" zu integrieren erlaubt, hat den Kulturbegriff zu einem Kernbegriff des Faches gemacht. Die frühen programmatischen Überlegungen zur Germanistik als (angewandter) Kulturwissenschaft (Bausinger, Thum) wurden zwar in der Zwischenzeit teilweise umgesetzt, bleiben aber gleichwohl bis heute aktuell. Insofern ist es aus der Perspektive unseres Faches zu begrüßen, daß sich der Amerikanist Klaus P. Hansen in seinem Buch, das auf eine Vorlesung an der Universität Passau zurückgeht, einmal grundlegend und einführend mit Begriff und Gegenstand von Kultur bzw. Kulturwissenschaft auseinandersetzt.

description: We present hydrodynamical N-body simulations of clusters of galaxies with feedback taken from semi-analytic models of galaxy formation. The advantage of this technique is that the source of feedback in our simulations is a population of galaxies that closely resembles that found in the real universe. We demonstrate that, to achieve the high entropy levels found in clusters, active galactic nuclei must inject a large fraction of their energy into the intergalactic/intracluster media throughout the growth period of the central black hole. These simulations reinforce the argument of Bower et al., who arrived at the same conclusion on the basis of purely semi-analytic reasoning.

Examining the role of the embedded librarian in online learning: a qualitative study
Creators: name: Nolan, Deborah A.
Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 2013

description: As the array and scope of distance learning programs and online learners in higher education expand, the academic library's role in enhancing student success assumes new dimensions. Academic libraries are committed to providing distance learners with the resources and services equivalent to those provided to learners in a traditional environment (American Library Association, 2008). Academic librarians, instructional partners in the higher education enterprise, enhance the learning, teaching, and scholarship of their institutional constituents regardless of time or place. To ensure comparable support to distance learners, some academic libraries have implemented a model in which the librarian, embedded into the online course, provides resources, services, instruction, and research support to students and faculty via technologies that bridge separations of time and space.   This study sought to better understand the role of the embedded librarian in online courses. Through a multicase qualitative approach, this research examined instructor, student, and librarian perceptions of how the embedded librarian worked in four online courses. The research findings revealed multiple factors that affected perceptions of the value of, challenges to, and future enhancements for the work of the embedded librarian. Communication, librarian's assistance to students, and librarian's availability were among the factors that shaped perceptions of the value of the embedded librarian. Perceived challenges to the work of the embedded librarian emerged as issues related to role clarification, technology functionality, and librarian workload, among others. Perceptions of future enhancements for the work of the embedded librarian were shaped by factors including planning, librarian competencies, and types of courses to support. This qualitative study provided insight to the work of the embedded librarian in online courses. With a deeper understanding of instructor, student, and librarian perceptions of the role of the embedded librarian, academic libraries can enhance their support to the growing number of distance learners in higher education. Given the digital realm's primacy for change in the academic universe, this enhanced understanding is not only important, it is vital to libraries accomplishing their missions in the continually evolving educational frontier.

description: O presente trabalho tem por objetivo discutir os recursos avaliativos utilizados em um curso de graduação (licenciatura) de educação física na modalidade a distância no Brasil. O processo de avaliação na educação a distância diferencia-se do modelo presencial devido ao uso dos elementos das tecnologias da informação e comunicação, onde a avaliação é considerada como um processo contínuo e como julgamento de valor sobre aspectos da realidade no intuito de transformá-la. A questão problema que norteou nosso estudo foi a seguinte: Quais são os métodos avaliativos utilizados pelo curso de educação física na modalidade à distância da UAB/UnB e como eles são utilizados no processo de ensino e aprendizagem dos estudantes? A UnB adotou a plataforma Moodle (Modular Object-OrientedDynamic Learning Environment ou Ambiente de aprendizagem dinâmico orientado por objeto modular) como ambiente virtual de aprendizagem e a partir de seu projeto político pedagógico os estudantes são acompanhados por professores com funções previamente delimitadas: pelo tutor a distância, pelo tutor presencial, pelo professor supervisor, pela supervisão e gestão do curso e pelo polo de apoio presencial. Os estudantes são avaliados qualitativamente em momentos de atividades presenciais nos polos de apoio e pelos recursos do Moodle: vídeos, slides, tarefas como produções textuais, fóruns temáticos de discussão e, trabalho de conclusão de curso. Foram evidenciados diferentes aspectos didáticos pedagógicos no que se refere aos métodos e técnicas de avaliação e, no que, se convencionou chamar de sala de aula virtual, que contribuem para assimilação ativa e aquisição de novos níveis de conhecimento no âmbito da cultura corporal de movimento. Desse modo podemos perceber que os recursos e métodos avaliativos de um curso de graduação em educação física a distância são inúmeros e possuem relevância particular e específica em relação aos objetivos propostos e, também, em relação a um curso realizado na modalidade presencial, procurando desenvolver e capacitar o estudante para o exercício da autonomia e da consciência crítica.

description: Bayesian analysis of LISA data sets based on Markov chain Monte Carlo methods has been shown to be a challenging problem, in part due to the complicated structure of the likelihood function consisting of several isolated local maxima that dramatically reduces the efficiency of the sampling techniques. Here we introduce a new fully Markovian algorithm, a Delayed Rejection Metropolis-Hastings Markov chain Monte Carlo method, to efficiently explore these kind of structures and we demonstrate its performance on selected LISA data sets containing a known number of stellar-mass binary signals embedded in Gaussian stationary noise.

Bioinformatics tools and analysis to identify candidate lethal genes in Root-knot nematode (RKN) and its comparison with soybean cyst nematode (SCN) infection in soybean

description: Root-Knot nematode (RKN; Meloidogyne spp.) is one of the most devastating obligate parasites that infect the roots of thousands of plant species. In the United States, the cost of the losses that these parasites cause annually is estimated to be about $8 billion. The RKN genome sequence is not well characterized or fully sequenced. We sought to identify genes that are lethal at any stage of RKN development. These genes could act as targets for RNAi constructs or gene knockout experiments. To that end we compared RKN gene sequences to the well-characterized and fully sequenced genome of the free-living nematode C. elegans (Caenorhabditis elegans). The primary database for C. elegans (www.wormbase.org) contains a huge repository of RNAi and mutation experiments on C. elegans genes. We conducted a comparative genomics analysis, comparing RKN genes of six species: Meloidogyne arenaria, M. chitiwoodi, M. hapla, M. incognita, M. javanica, and M. paranaensis to C. elegans via WormBase. The RKN sequences were obtained from nematode.net. Our analysis yielded many candidate lethal genes between Meloidogyne spp. and C.elegans. Some of these genes have already been tested experimentally and indeed found to be lethal to RKN. We also created a relational web based database that links the RKN genes and proteins to their C. elegans homologs. The database provides search capabilities for scientists in the field. The database was created using SQL-Server 2008. The web based user interface was created using ASP.NET. Using microarray analysis we examined the expression of soybean (Glycine max) genes in roots infected by the RKN, Meloidogyne incognita at 12 days and 10 weeks after infection and similarly soybean roots infected by SCN at 8 days after infection. Gene expression was monitored using the Affymetrix Soybean GeneChip containing 37,500 G. max probe sets. A comparative microarray analysis was done between RKN and SCN using bioinformatics tools such as MATLAB (R2010b) Bioinformatics toolbox and Blast2go. The goal was to identify the common genes that were differentially expressed (induced or suppressed) as a result of the soybean infection by RKN and SCN. Our results showed that there are major differences in the gene expression profile between the soybean infected by SCN and the soybean infected by RKN. Where only 135 genes were shown to be induced and 82 genes were shown to be suppressed as the common altered genes between soybean roots infected by RKN (Meloidogyne incognita) and similarly soybean roots infected by SCN.
