description: Bestimmen Metaphern wie „Das Unternehmen ist ein Garten“ oder „Der Lehrer ist eine Kerze“ unser Handeln? Haben sie beispielsweise einen Einfluss darauf, wie Führungskräfte oder Lehrer ihre Situation erleben und wie sie in ihrem jeweiligen beruflichen Umfeld mit Mitarbeitern, respektive Schülern umgehen? Die Frage nach der handlungsregulierenden Funktion von Metaphern lässt sich nur auf experimentellem Wege beantworten. Erste Befunde aus psychologischen Online-Experimente mit Versuchsteilnehmern aus Deutschland und China zeigen, dass Metaphern einen Einfluss auf das Handeln haben und dass das Metaphernverständnis kulturspezifische Besonderheiten aufweist.
description: Do metaphors affect peoples’ actions? Can they influence the situation perception of managers and teachers, and their communication with their colleagues or pupils in their own occupational environment? These questions, concerning the action-regulative function of metaphor, can only be explored through empirical experiments. A series of our experimental psychological researches via World Wide Web have confirmed that metaphors do influence how people take actions.

description: Introduction: The main result of economic evaluation studies of healthcare technologies is the incremental cost-outcome-ratio, a measure expressing the additional costs in relation to the additional outcome, e.g. the incremental costs per life-year gained or the costs per quality-adjusted life-year (QALY) gained. In this paper, the economic evaluation of a high-priced innovative medical device, the artificial liver support system MARS (Molecular Adsorbent Recirculating System) for patients with an acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) and a history of alcohol induced liver disease is outlined. Methods: In a controlled clinical cohort study all patients with ACLF admitted to a large university hospital between 1999 and 2002 were included and prospectively followed up over 3 years. Survival, healthrelated quality of life and all relevant direct medical resource uses were measured. All costs were calculated from a healthcare system’s perspective and standardized to EUR 2002. Results: The direct medical costs of the initial inpatient treatment were 31,539 EUR in the MARS group compared to 7,543 EUR in controls. Important predictive factors were MARS (mean cost per patient treated 14,631) and renal dialysis. Mean direct costs during the follow-up were 8,493 EUR for patients treated with MARS and 5,194 EUR in controls. The patients treated with MARS had a higher mean survival time and showed a significantly higher survival probability using a cox-regression model. The healthrelated quality of life of the surviving patients was nearly constant (EQ-5D 70%) over the 3-year follow-up. The incremental costs per life-year gained over a time horizon of 3 years were 31,448 EUR, the incremental costs per QALY 47,171 EUR. Conclusions: The study results overall show an acceptable cost-effectiveness of MARS from a healthcare system’s perspective, and, keeping the limits of the present scientific evidence in mind, the technology seems to be promising from a medical as well as an economic point of view. The costs for the acute inpatient hospital treatment of ACLFpatients with MARS are four times higher compared to standard treatment. As long as there is no regular complete reimbursement for MARS, hospitals have almost no incentive to use it and the implementation of the technology might be delayed.

L'uomo Liquido ~ Parte Prima

description: La narrazione esplora l'inganno profondo che l'amor universale ha impresso nell'essere umano, portandolo a vivere una forma di esistenza distorta e inconsapevole. Consideriamo il divenire come un fallimento dell'essere autentico, in quanto l'uomo liquido si allontana da ciò che veramente è, in una ricerca senza fine per colmare il vuoto interiore. Affrontiamo la disumanizzazione attraverso il narcisismo e l'ossessione per il controllo sugli altri, segnali di un'individualità compromessa. La critica è rivolta anche al sapere superficiale che favorisce solo un'apparenza di conoscenza, mentre il vero contenuto resta inaccessibile, intrappolato in binari di pensiero circolari e ripetitivi.

Reintroduciamo il concetto del perturbante, esemplificando dall'incapacità del cosiddetto narcisista di percepire se stesso come altro da una maschera o un automa. La società è vista come complice di tale disgregazione, lontana dalla propria essenza. Muoviamo riflessione su "krisis" (crisi), una presa di coscienza drammatica dell'esistenza umana.

Die methodischen Erfahrungen sprechen dafür, Online-Umfragen in den Methodenbaukasten empirischer Parlamentsforschung aufzunehmen und zukünftig verstärkt einzusetzen.
description: The paper discusses how online surveys can be utilized in empirical research on parliaments and parliamentarians. Empirically, the paper is based on a survey among candidates from major parties running for a seat (Direktmandat) in the Northrhine-Westphalian state election that took place on May 22, 2005. 512 candidates were running in this election. Due to extensive research it was possible to contact more than 90 per cent of them by e-mail. Of those, about 45 per cent took part in our survey, which substantially covered the role the Internet plays in election campaigns. Further research shows that the sample of participants is quite representative for the population as a whole. There are only minor differences in terms of sex, age, MP status or IT skills between respondents and non-respondents. In a nutshell, it can be concluded that online surveys can become part of researchers’ tool box when studying parliaments and parliamentarians.

Outstanding environmental education programs in North America
Creators: name: Ravensbergen, Sarah
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: I. Introduction: the importance of environmental education The growing importance of environmental education today is evident in the increase and wide range of programs available from the pre-school to the university level, in a wide variety of forms (Palmer, 1998). This expansion is set against a backdrop of increasingly complex and intertwined environmental, social, and economic issues that societies currently face. Proponents of environmental education (in the broadest sense of the word) see learning by exposure to the ‘natural’ world as a vehicle to facilitate an integrated understanding of the complexities, but also the beauty of, interactions between humans and other species within the biosphere (United States Environmental Protection Agency, 2010). In this way, environmental education is coming to be seen as an investment in healthy, critically-thinking generations of children with a strong connection to their environment, an investment that is crucial to the future of the planet (United States Environmental Protection Agency, 2010).
title: So oder so?: Zwei Maße für die Preisentwicklung im Außenhandel – Was lehrt uns der Vergleich?

description: Wie aussagekräftig sind die zwei Maße, die das nationale Statistikamt in Deutschland für die monatliche Preisentwicklung im Außenhandel bereitstellt? Die beiden Indizes, der so genannte Durchschnittswertindex und der Preisindex werden anhand ihrer spezifischen Charakteristika vorgestellt und miteinander verglichen.
description: The German Federal Statistical Office (FSO) is one of the few National Statistical Institutes that is capable of providing not only unit value indices (UVI) but also true price indices (PI) of both exports and imports on a regular (monthly) basis. This co-existence of two different measures of the price movement in foreign trade has, on occasion, caused some confusion and given rise to problems of interpretation. The paper examines in detail methodological differences between the two types of index numbers and tries to demonstrate empirically the effect of various aspects of index compilation on the observed time series of UVI and PI. The study was carried out with data from the Deutsche Bundesbank, who also took the initiative to investigate the issue. In the paper, there is a great emphasis on differentiating between two possibly conflicting sources of deviation between UVI and PI viz. the so-called “Laspeyres effect” and the effect of changes in the structure of traded goods. The paper also presents the very first published empirical assessment of the influence of quality adjustment on price indices by the FSO. Prior to quality adjustments, raw data are usually not published. At the request of the author, the price statistics department therefore kindly performed a special data analysis in the case of IT products. Ample evidence was found as regards the considerable smoothing and volatility reducing effect of quality adjustments, at least in these exemplary products. To sum up: although it may be difficult to demonstrate the effect of each methodological aspect by which the UVI and PI differ when taken in isolation, it is nonetheless clear that both types of indices may well be useful. The reason is that each of the two types of indices is satisfying one of the two, in a sense “polar” requirements of index numbers, requirements which are both equally sensible and yet difficult to reconcile. These requirements are to represent all currently relevant commodities on the one hand, and to permit a “pure” price comparison, undistorted by structural changes, on the other hand.

description: This article deals with price modelling for non-storable commodities, using the example of electricity, whilst taking into account empirical distributions. With the liberalisation of energy markets in the past number of years, electricity has become a commodity, very much like copper, oil or orange juice. Yet a key difference to most other commodities is that electricity is nonstorable. As a consequence, market equilibriums have to be established for each hour of a day and electricity prices may vary from one hour to the next. The article describes a method to analyse and simulate these hourly prices using a combination of various modern econometric techniques. These allow accounting for deterministic and cyclical effects, non-normality in distributions, and correlation of prices between hours and autocorrelation of prices for subsequent days.

Building a culturally integrated food strategy : a case study of the Collingwood Neighborhood House
Creators: name: Lin, Flora
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: My research goal for this project is to use culturally sensitive lenses to critically evaluate Vancouver’s Greenest City 2020 ‘local food’ strategy. In other words, I will explore to what extent does Vancouver’s ‘local food’ goals take cultural diversity into consideration. Under the extreme pressure of globalization and urbanization, cities in the world are competing against each other towards the goal of being ranked as global cities. Vancouver is not an exception where it tries to sell an image of being the most livable city in the world and a city that is green. However, with Vancouver being among one of the most ethnically diverse communities it becomes crucial that we question how feasible Vancouver’s local food strategy is in regards to meeting the food practices of our diverse communities. Vancouver’s Greenest City 2020 ‘local food’ is one of the ten ‘green’ goals of the Vancouver Greenest City 2020 Action Plan by which the city works towards becoming the greenest city by 2020. The vision of this action plan is “together [as one] we will create a more livable, healthy and economically resilient city, and a better life for [our] future generations” (City of Vancouver a). An important reason why Vancouver is working towards becoming the greenest city is because of the acknowledgement that Vancouver residents have an ecological footprint three times larger than the Earth can sustain (City of Vancouver a). Nevertheless, it is important to note that Vancouver’s ‘local food’ is a specific topic and that there are other initiatives that are taking into consideration. RangiChangi Roots, my community partner, is a grassroots nonprofit organization that has the vision of many cultures under one climate where diverse communities work together for a fair and healthy planet (RangiChangi Roots). Their mission is to bridge the gap between the green movement and cultural communities because to them the “transformative change needed to solve the climate crisis will not happen unless everyone is involved” (RangiChangi Roots). In addition, RangiChangi Roots have been looking into whether people are willing to give up their favorite ethnic dishes to be more sustainable and whether it is viable to substitute local, organic food for ethnic dishes. While the RangiChangi Roots unveils the different food stories on one hand, together we both hope to create more awareness about how cultural diversity can be incorporated into the local food movement. Thus I would argue that in order to be more culturally sustainable for our diverse communities, aside from having food infrastructure that support our food system and provide food-related green jobs, we must work together to acknowledge that non-indigenous ethnic food can be part of a healthy food system.

description: Das Gedächtnis ist die Achillesferse der geistigen Leistungsfähigkeit. Es ist bekannt, dass die Gedächtnisleistung auch bei gesunden älteren Menschen mit dem Alter nachlässt. Allerdings gilt dies nicht für alle Seiten des Gedächtnisses. Dies zeigt auch die Auswertung eines Datensatzes von mehr als 25.000 Personen im Alter von 16 bis 80 Jahren, die die virtuelle Gedächtnissprechstunde GedächtnisOnline besucht haben. Mehr als 130.000 Besucher des Internetportals konnten im Laufe eines halben Jahres registriert werden. Diese außerordentliche Attraktivität von GedächtnisOnline ist darauf zurückzuführen, dass den Besuchern sowohl ein Feedback über die Leistungsfähigkeit verschiedener Funktionen ihres eigenen Gedächtnisses als auch wissenschaftsjournalistisch aufbereitete Information über gedächtnispsychologische Mechanismen und Störungen angeboten werden.
description: As the web-based virtual memory clinic www.gedaechtnisonline.de shows, the growing readiness of older adults to use the Internet as an information medium makes it possible to win them as participants for experiments in the field of psychological aging research. In an interactive memory check, the visitors of Gedaechtnisonline receive a feedback on different processes of their own memory performance. Furthermore, the site provides comprehensively edited scientific findings about memory and memory disturbances. The focus of the site is preventioncentred: An early detection of memory deficiencies is ideal for a therapeutic intervention. The site offers contact addresses of memory< clinics in their proximity where the users can get further medical advice and therapy if desired. More than 130,000 people from Germany, Switzerland and Austria used the free service of GedaechtnisOnline during a period of 6 months after its first launch, and more than 40,000 of them took partin the 20-minute memory check. This illustrates the attractiveness of combining prevention-oriented health information with an interactive psychological research tool. The experimental data gathered also yields a considerable scientific return – collecting this amount of data in a psychological laboratory would have taken approximately 7 man-years! The data collected on age-related changes in memory performance are consistent with the predictions of the relevant theories of memory research, which documents the validity of psychological online research in this field.

description: For developed countries, the salient post-World War II economic experience is surely the long run growth of gross domestic product (GDP). The theoretical explanation for this empirical fact was offered by the neo-classical theory of economic growth, which established that in equilibrium, the economy grows with constant rates for various variables. This situation is called steady-state growth, and is determined by certain structural parameters of the economy. Economies with similar tastes and production technologies have the same steadystate. If these economies differ in the initial quantity of capital per person, the theory implies that the less advanced of them have a higher growth rate than the other. This transition hypothesis is referred to as absolute β-convergence. If the steady-states differ, then an economy grows faster the further it is from its own steady-state value. This situation is referred to as conditional β- convergence. A third type of convergence (σ-convergence) occurs if the dispersion measured by the standard deviation of the logarithm of per capita income across several economies declines over time. Finally, we find stochastic convergence if the time series of per capita GDP differences between two countries, or a country and an average per capita GDP of a group of countries is stationary. The empirical results presented in this paper all offer strong support for the presence of convergence among the EU 15 Countries.

description: Efficient point cloud coding has become increasingly critical for multiple applications such as virtual reality, autonomous driving, and digital twin systems, where rich and interactive 3D data representations may functionally make the difference. Deep learning has emerged as a powerful tool in this domain, offering advanced techniques for compressing point clouds more efficiently than conventional coding methods while also allowing effective computer vision tasks performed in the compressed domain thus, for the first time, making available a common compressed visual representation effective for both man and machine. Taking advantage of this potential, JPEG has recently finalized the JPEG Pleno Learning-based Point Cloud Coding (PCC) standard offering efficient lossy coding of static point clouds, targeting both human visualization and machine processing by leveraging deep learning models for geometry and color coding. The geometry is processed directly in its original 3D form using sparse convolutional neural networks, while the color data is projected onto 2D images and encoded using the also learning-based JPEG AI standard. The goal of this paper is to provide a complete technical description of the JPEG PCC standard, along with a thorough benchmarking of its performance against the state-of-the-art, while highlighting its main strengths and weaknesses. In terms of compression performance, JPEG PCC outperforms the conventional MPEG PCC standards, especially in geometry coding, achieving significant rate reductions. Color compression performance is less competitive but this is overcome by the power of a full learning-based coding framework for both geometry and color and the associated effective compressed domain processing.

Reducing car dependency in small-town British Columbia
Creators: name: Thompson, Johanna
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: Research in sustainable urban planning is becoming increasingly common and accessible, but research for rural and small town communities has been less explored. Rural communities in British Columbia have a unique set of needs depending on the landscape of the area in question and the local economies. One general trend is that many small communities depend heavily on cars either for commuting purposes or to travel locally as a result of sprawl. Important tactics in reducing car dependency in small communities therefore should involve promoting amenity migration, Smart Growth planning projects and diversifying the local economy. Tools to help small communities achieve these goals include Geographic Information Science (GIS), Google Earth or the BC Climate Action Toolkit, depending on the resources available to the local communities.

Publisher: name: ZAP JOURNALS
Year: 2024
Subjects: eng

description: This study explored the impact of instructional leadership on student outcomes in music education, with a focus on goal-setting, resource management, development skills, and leadership quality. The study also examined the relationship between leadership practices and academic outcomes such as classroom performance, subject motivation, and resource availability. A descriptive-comparative research design was employed, using a total enumeration sampling technique involving 400 student respondents from Taishan University.

The findings revealed that students positively assessed their teachers’ leadership across all areas, with no significant differences in perceptions based on demographic factors such as age, sex, grade level, or specialization. Moreover, a significant positive relationship was found between instructional leadership and academic outcomes, indicating that strong leadership practices contribute to improved student performance, motivation, and resource access.

Based on these findings, a comprehensive program is proposed to enhance instructional leadership, optimize resource management, and promote student engagement in music education. The program focuses on professional educator development and continuous monitoring of leadership’s impact on academic success. This study highlights the importance of effective leadership in fostering a conducive learning environment and improving educational outcomes in university music programs.

Mobile technologies in public places
Creators: name: Austin, Terry
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: Thesis: How are parks, museums, and other public institutions integrating new mobile technologies in order to promote the use of these areas and enhance user experience? Recommendations: 1. QR codes should be integrated into existing signage in Lynn Canyon Park to enhance visitor experience. 2. QR codes be used to enhance the scavenger hunt experience Conclusions: Two key questions should be asked before implementing new technologies into our parks: • Do these devices take away from the experience by pulling people out of content with the environment around them? • Are they more a distraction than an aid?

description: Geometrical methods are extensively applied to thermodynamics including stochastic thermodynamics. In the case of slow-driving linear response regime, a geometrical framework, known as thermodynamic geometry, is established. The key of this framework is the thermodynamic length characterized by a metric tensor defined on the space of controlling variables. As the metric tensor is given in terms of the equilibrium time-correlation functions of the thermodynamic forces, it contains the information of timescales, which may be useful for analyzing the performance of heat engines. In this paper, we show that the metric tensor for underdamped Langevin dynamics can be decomposed in terms of the relaxation times of a system itself, which govern the timescales of the equilibrium time-correlation functions of the thermodynamic forces. As an application of the decomposition of the metric tensor, we demonstrate that it is possible to achieve Carnot efficiency at finite power by taking the vanishing limit of relaxation times without breaking trade-off relations between efficiency and power of heat engines in terms of thermodynamic geometry.

description: Dezentrale Energiesysteme erfreuen sich durch finanzielle Anreize, mit denen umweltpoltische Ziele unterstützt werden, immer größerer Beliebtheit. Im Fachgebiet „Elektrische Anlagen und Netze” wurde ein flexibles Simulationswerkzeug entwickelt, das die Eigenschaften der einzelnen installierten Komponenten sowie ihr Zusammenspiel beim Betrieb des Gesamtsystems detailliert simuliert. So wird zum Beispiel eine vergleichende Untersuchung unterschiedlicher Varianten einer Photovoltaik-basierten Elektrizitätsversorgung für ein einzelnes abgelegenes Wohngebäude möglich.
description: A comprehensive simulation tool with high temporal resolution was developed, allowing to overcome the current practice of having the design and dimensioning of energy systems with dispersed generation rely only on global energy harvest considerations. The simulation system allows to investigate the characteristics of dispersed generation components to be installed, as well as their control and interaction within a complete supply system, under high temporal resolution and simulation fidelity, thus providing a reasonable basis for efficient plant design. Device rating and control parameters of design variants can be optimized suitably by use of a superimposed genetic algorithm based optimization approach. Example application for the sound investigation of various configurations of PV based home electricity supply proves the versatile usability of the tool. Even if in the study presented here the focus was purely on electrical supply, the simulation tool is also capable of modeling combined heat and power systems; of course, the interdependences in dimensioning and control are then much more complicated than in the cases shown here.

description: Übergewicht ist schon bei Kindern ein ernstzunehmendes und wachsendes Problem. Zwar kann man es generell auf veränderte Bewegungs- und Ernährungsgewohnheiten sowie genetische Dispositionen zurückführen, doch gibt es kein Patentrezept für eine erfolgreiche Therapie der Adipositas bei jungen Menschen, da die Ursachen äußerst komplex sind.
description: Obesity is a complex phenotype caused by the interaction of environmental and genetic factors. In children and adolescents, the 90th and 97th body mass index (BMI) centiles are used to define overweight and obesity. Obesity rates have increased in many countries over the past 30 years. Changes in eating behaviour and reduced levels of physical activity have been cited as factors underlying this obesity epidemic. The past decade has witnessed the identification of rare monogenic forms of obesity and in recent times, advances in the detection of the first polygenes have been made. Several guidelines have been proposed for the treatment of childhood and adolescent obesity. However, the empirical evidence to support any particular treatment option is scant. Neither the methods nor the results of successful treatment studies can be generalized to the obese population. Somatic and psychological side effects of treatment programs need to be considered. Pharmacological and surgical treatments are only infrequently used in adolescents. Whereas single prevention strategies have yielded positive results, it is becoming increasingly clear that approaches which focus on individual behaviour and the family can have only a small impact. Structural prevention strategies are difficult to impose and to evaluate.

description: Steadily rising energy demand due to an increasing population requires the application of the best available technologies: both because energy resources are limited and because requirements for the protection of the environment have become stricter. This article deals with computer models for the optimisation of energy conversion plants for different applications. For new power plants, optimal design has to be defined whereas for existing plants, the performance by changing operational parameters is more interesting. The methods presented consider design as well as operational aspects. Examples of some relevant projects are described for illustration.
