description: Educational and professional experiments in cosmic ray physics usually require the use of GPS units for a precision time-stamp of the collected events, in order to correlate events measured with independent detectors. As a part of an educational program aimed to carry out experiments in collaboration with high school teams, several tests of a time-stamp system based on the use of CAMAC GPS units was performed. Position and time information for periodic as well as for random events were collected, to check the reliability of the method and the achievable resolution, in view of on-going experiments with extended arrays of cosmic ray detectors.

description: In der frühen Genese typisierender Wahrnehmungsmuster anderer Länder und Kulturen nehmen Schulbücher eine exponierte Rolle ein. Dabei sind es neben landeskundlichen vor allem historische Themen und ihre Behandlung im Unterricht, die das Bild der Lernenden von dem jeweils behandelten Land nachhaltig prägen. Entsprechend früh ist von Seiten der institutionell historisch angebundenen Schulbuchforschung auf die entscheidende Funktion des Ge- schichtsbuchs in der Konstruktion historischen Bewusstseins nicht nur gegenüber der eigenen, sondern auch gegenüber der Geschichte anderer Staaten und Länder eingegangen worden. Mitunter kann diese Erkenntnis auch zum Politikum werden, wie die 2003 im Auftrag des Rates für europäische kulturelle Zusammenarbeit erschienene Studie von Robert Stradling zeigt (vgl. vor allem Stradling 2003, 161ff.). Auch der hohe Stellenwert der Geschichte als Teil der Landeskunde in Lehrwerken des Fremdsprachenunterrichts ist bereits seit längerem durch quantitative Studien (z. B. Timme 1996) bekannt. Diese beiden Erkenntnisse verbinden sich nun in der vorliegenden Studie zu der Frage nach der Wahrnehmung der deutschen Kultur und Geschichte in Deutschlehrbüchern für den Fremdsprachenunterricht.

description: A solution of the inelastic Enskog equation that goes beyond the weak dissipation limit and applies for moderate densities is used to determine the thermal diffusion factor of an intruder immersed in a dense granular gas under gravity. This factor provides a segregation criterion that shows the transition between the Brazil-nut effect (BNE) and the reverse Brazil-nut effect (RBNE) by varying the parameters of the system (masses, sizes, density and coefficients of restitution). The form of the phase-diagrams for the BNE/RBNE transition depends sensitively on the value of gravity relative to the thermal gradient, so that it is possible to switch between both states for given values of the parameters of the system. Two specific limits are considered with detail: (i) absence of gravity, and (ii) homogeneous temperature. In the latter case, after some approximations, our results are consistent with previous theoretical results derived from the Enskog equation. Our results also indicate that the influence of dissipation on thermal diffusion is more important in the absence of gravity than in the opposite limit. The present analysis extends previous theoretical results derived in the dilute limit case [V. Garzó, Europhys. Lett. {\bf 75}, 521 (2006)] and is consistent with the findings of some recent experimental results.

title: The Influence of Workplace Stressors, Resources and Perceptions on Work-to-Family Spillover: An Application of the Double ABCX Model
Creators: name: Dennis, Steven A.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1995

description: Changes in the American workforce have raised concern over the interface between family and work. The responsibilities and frustrations of the work domain frequently spill over to the family domain and vice versa. The purpose of this research has been to investigate the influence of workplace stressors, resources, and perceptions on subsequent negative work-to-family spillover. The theoretical direction for the study stems from a modified application of McCubbin and Patterson's double ABCX model, which fits well into the larger spillover perspective.
The data for the study came from 1992 National Study of the Changing Workforce [NSCW). A subsample of respondents who worked full-time, lived with another family member, and were not self-employed was used for the analysis. The final sample consisted of 598 respondents.
The findings suggest that work-co-family spillover is more common for women than men. However, the workplace stressor and resources in this study had less direct influence on work-co-family spillover for women than for men. In shore, an adequate explanation of work-to-family spillover is likely more complex for women than for men.
The findings also generally supported the theoretical model. That is, workplace stressors, workplace resources, and family perceptions generally had an effect on work-co-family spillover. Interestingly, formal workplace resources, such as family-friendly programs, had only a small effect on work-to-family spillover. However, exploring spillover from a family-co-work direction would have possibly yielded different results. Informal resources had only modest direct effects on work-to-family spillover, but indirect effects were practically important. General perception had the strongest direct effect on work-to-family spillover for both men and women.

description: We identify the dual geometry of the hadron phase of dense nuclear matter and investigate the confinement/deconfinement phase transition. We suggest that the low temperature phase of the RN black hole with the full backreaction of the bulk gauge field is described by the zero mass limit of the RN black hole with hard wall. We calculated the density dependence of critical temperature and found that the phase diagram closes. We also study the density dependence of the rho meson mass.

description: A systematic study of the electrical properties of polymeric composite materials based on carbon nanotubes (CNTs), carried out at INFN-Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati is reviewed. The purpose was to make a light, thin and mechanically strong composite material to cover electric circuits against external electromagnetic interference. The epoxy resin that was used as a polymeric matrix is a commercial Shell product Epon 828. Two types of curing agent were used along with the resin, namely the A1 curing agent and PAP8 agent. The composite is obtained using the A1 curing agent, selected for the stability of the corresponding composite over a wide range of pressure values, in comparison with a different curing agent (namely PAP8). Benchmarking the resistivity properties of composites based on CNTs with those containing micron-sized graphite particles as a constituent, shows the advantages of using carbon nanotubes. The change in the resistivity values for carbon nanotubes based composites turns out to be significant, even for small changes in the added carbon nanotubes percentage. These results might be important for determining the most suitable 'recipe' for the realization of composite materials for high-fidelity circuits in aerospace applications, or even in devices exposed to disturbances predominantly electromagnetic in their nature. It is planned also to present in future reports a study of carbon nanotubes based composites with PAP8. Also, we plan to show the composite behavior in controlled humidity environments and for different temperatures. Finally preliminary results on the mechanical characterization of the nanocomposites will be presented elsewhere
title: The Use of Social Science by the United States Supreme Court in Cases Raising Husband-Wife and Parent-Child Legal Issues
Creators: name: Tanner, James R.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1984

description: This research provides a descriptive study of the use of social science research contained in reported decisions of the United States Supreme Court. The cases were selected from case abstracts contained in two U.S. Supreme Court digests. The author relied on the court reporter's arrangement of abstracts of case decisions (sorted by substantive areas of the law) to identify relevant cases presenting issues of parent -child and husband-wife relations.
The following substantive areas were initially selected using this method: abortion, adultery and fornication, adoption, immigration, exclusion and deportation, bigamy, bastards, dower, death, domicil, divorce and separation, guardian and ward, homestead, husband and wife, incompetent persons, infants, kidnapping, indecency, lewdness and obscenity, marriage, privacy, poor and poor laws, torts, schools, social security and unemployment compensation, wills, workman's compensation, and zoning. Substantive areas receiving one or none citations of social science (in the summary tabulations) were excluded, leaving the parent-child areas of abortion, bastards, infants, obscenity, poor and poor laws, schools and social security. The above exclusion process left the husband-wife areas of adultery and fornication, bigamy, divorce and separation, husband and wife, and marriage. The entire text and footnotes were analyzed in the selected cases . The date of the decision, use or non-use of social science research, and the nature or discipline of the research were recorded and tabulated. The substantive caselaw of schools and obscenity were the substantive areas containing the most frequent citations of social science. The study revealed a general trend consistent with Christensen's (1964) model of family research development. Parent-child opinions revealed a general utilization rate of four per cent. The study revealed that history and economics, as social science disciplines, have been cited more frequently by the Supreme Court during the period analyzed than the social science disciplines of sociology and psychology.

title: Self Esteem and Adolescent Sexual Attitudes and Behavior
Creators: name: Christensen, Roger B.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1985

description: This study was designed to determine; (1) if adolescent self esteem is related to premarital sexual attitudes and intercourse behavior; (2) if religious affiliation and church attendance affect the relationship between adolescent self esteem and premarital sexual attitudes and behavior. Approximately 2400 adolescents residing in California, New Mexico, and Utah comprised the sample.
Adolescents who attended church services more often reported less sexually permissive attitudes and behavior than those who attended church less often. Similarly, Mormons' premarital sexual attitudes and behavior was more conservative than was the case for non-Mormon adolescents. Findings indicated that the nature of the relationship between permissiveness and self esteem did depend on cultural norms or contexts. In the most conservative normative contexts (among Mormons and frequent church attenders) there was a negative relationship between self esteem and sexual attitudes and sexual behavior; there was no significant relationship between self esteem and sexual attitudes and sexual behavior among the more moderate sample groups.

description: The purpose of this study was to examine the resource management problems of a group of foreign students. The sample surveyed was 300 foreign students who attended Utah State University during fall quarter of 1984. A questionnaire was used to examine the students' degree of difficulty with resource management.
The differences in the degree of difficulty with resource management and respondents' gender , academic level, marital status, length of stay in the U.S. and geographic origin were tested by Analysis of Variance.
Significant differences were found in the degree of difficulty with resource management and the length of stay in the U.S. and geographical origin of respondents. The degree of difficulty with resource management was not significantly different by marital status, gender or academic level.
Additionally, finances, language, and homesickness were found to be the most serious problem areas during the academic sojourn at USU. The respondents expressed interest in learning more about medical, banking, and auto repair services.

description: By the end of 2016, Gustavo Pradilla, CEO of Chocolate Tibitó, was contemplating his company’s future from his office in Bogotá Colombia. He was wondering how to promote his chocolate brand in Europe, considering his company’s limited resources for marketing campaigns. A small firm, with a sales volume of approximately 100.000 Euros, Tibitó produced high quality, fair trade chocolate, made of Colombian beans and sold 100% of its production to the local market. Although sales have been increasing in Colombia, international recognition, and the need to increase the plant production had given Gustavo the idea of selling the bars abroad, particularly in Germany. Nevertheless, Tibitó’s founder was not sure if it was possible to grow in the German market with limited marketing campaigns. Even more so considering that he was pretending to sell a chocolate from an unknown origin in Germany and at a much higher price than the local mainstream chocolate brands. Tibitó only had limited budget, staff and expertise to advertise in Germany and therefore, Gustavo considered it challenging for his small company, to make a significant investment in advertising. The case covers different marketing strategy elements, e.g. SWOT analysis, online versus offline marketing and positioning.
title: A Comparison of Traditional Preschool and Computer Play from a Social/Cognitive Perspective
Creators: name: Hoover, Jeanne M.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1985

description: Twenty females and twenty-three males from the Utah State University Children's House participated in this study which compared traditional preschool play with computer play. The Parten/Smilansky nested social/cognitive play hierarchy was used. Sociometric and cognitive assessments were incorporated in order to more clearly define behaviors. Five types of play were observed: computer, art, locks, manipulative toys, and the dramatic area.
No gender differences were found in terms of the amount of time or type of play at the computer. However, sociometric status did influence computer play. Children who engaged in more positive social interactions used the computer constructively, while those who engaged in more negative interactions used the computer in a more dramatic fashion. Duration of play at the computer was similar to duration of play with blocks and art activities, but different from duration of play with manipulative toys and in the dramatic area. Group play was the most common level of social play observed at all types of play centers, including the computer center, suggesting that computers do foster socialization in young children. Summing across all centers, including the computer center, constructive play was the most prevalent type of cognitive play observed. When each center was analyzed individually, games with rules, the highest level of cognitive play, was observed significantly more often at the computer center. Thus, computers may be fostering higher cognitive levels of play.
title: Parental and Teacher Expectations for Kindergarten Preparation and Priorities for Kindergarten Curricula
Creators: name: Harris, Kimberly
Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: Participants for this investigation were 146 kindergarten teachers and 436 parents of kindergarteners in Davis and Weber School Districts. Self-administered questionnaires were utilized, 1) to determine if teachers, mothers and fathers believe that parents could do more to prepare children for kindergarten, 2) to delineate what each group believes parents can do, 3) to investigate what mothers and fathers have done in preparing their children for kindergarten, 4) to explore what skills teachers, mothers and fathers credit as most important for children to possess upon kindergarten entry, and 5) to examine what skills these three groups feel should be emphasized in the kindergarten curricula.
A variety of statistical analyses were used to compare teachers', mothers' and fathers' responses to the above questions. Major findings suggest that teachers differ significantly from do mothers and fathers in believing that parents could do more to prepare children for kindergarten. Additional differences were found in the nature of what the three groups felt parents could do, with parents mentioning intellectual skills significantly more often than teachers. Results also suggest that mothers more than fathers indicate that they take an active role in preparing their children for kindergarten.
Teachers, mothers and fathers generally agree about which skills children should possess when they go to kindergarten. Listening, feeling confident, and following directions were found to be ranked highest in importance with writing and reading skills perceived as least important. All three groups held similar attitudes toward the kindergarten curricula, holding that a wide variety of skills are important and should be emphasized in kindergarten programs. The implications of current findings for parents and teachers are discussed.
title: The Effects of a Social Skills Training Program on Interpersonal Communications in Parent Adolescent Dyads
Creators: name: Noble, Patrick Sean
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1986

description: The purpose of this thesis was two fold. First, there was an experiment in which the independent variable was the behavioral skill levels of parents and their adolescents on a social skills training program and the dependent variable was the parent and adolescent perceptions of their interpersonal relationship regarding communication and problem solving. Second, there was an experiment comparing instructional styles wherein the independent variable was the length of time used to present the social skills training program and the dependent variable was the resulting scores on the behavioral measures of the program. A modified pretest -post-test control group design was used wherein the control group for the first experiment became a portion of the experimental group for the second experiment. There were 43 parent adolescent dyads who volunteered to participate. Of those, 25 of the dyads met the minimum criteria for being included in the analysis. There were 18 dyads analyzed from the experimental group and seven from the control group. Results of the first experiment, regarding the effects of a social skills program on perceived interpersonal relationships, demonstrated that while the parents did perceive an improvement , the adolescents did not. Results of the second experiment demonstrated that the long term program of one skill every week for eight weeks was more effective than the concentrated one week program of two skills per night for four nights.
title: Clinical Typologies of Youthful Male sex Offenders Derived from the sex-Offender Characteristic Inventory-Male Version (SOCI-M)
Creators: name: Ericksen, Susan L.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1995

description: The Sex-Offender Characteristic Inventory-Male Version (SOCI-M) was filled out by a national sample of 78 clinicians experienced in the treatment of youthful sex offenders. Using factor analysis, clinician perceptions of the biopsychosocial characteristics related to normal, conduct-disordered, and sex-offending youth were determined.
All of the variables in the categories considered in this study factored into at least three distinct normal, conduct-disordered, and sex-offender youthful factors, with sex-offender variables loading onto more than one sex-offender factor in some categories. The normal youth factors accounted for the greatest variability in the Learning Disabled, Tourette's Syndrome, Borderline Traits, Histrionic Traits, DSM III-R Diagnosis, Problematic Relationships, Physical Illness/Injury, General Affect/Mood, and General Cognitive categories. The conduct-disordered youth factors accounted for the greatest variability in the Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder, Reactive Attachment Traits, and Antisocial Trait categories. Overall, the three groups tended to be more similar than different.
Although the sex-offender variables accounted for the least amount of variability, they loaded onto specific sex-offender-related factors in some categories and were distinct from the normal factors, conduct-disordered factors, and other sex-offender factors. This included the Antisocial Trait variables, which loaded onto four types of sex-offender factors; the Physical Illness/Injury variables, which loaded onto two sex-offender factors; and the General Affect/Mood and General Cognitive variables, which both loaded onto two sex-offender factors. The distinct sex-offending factors may be indicative of different types of sex offenders.
Discriminant analysis was unsuccessful in classifying pedophilic and mixed-offender groups based on the resulting biopsychosocial factors.
A Restful Approach to the OGSA Basic Execution Service Specification

Year: 2008

description: The OGSA-basic execution service (BES) specification has recently been proposed by the Open Grid Forum (OGF) as the standard job submission and management interface across different Grid middlewares. This specification defines a Web Service interface in terms of a Web Services Description Language (WSDL) document for creating, monitoring and managing computational jobs (called activities), and for querying the capabilities of the BES service itself. In this paper, we propose an alternate incarnation of the BES functionalities according to the representational state transfer (REST) architectural style. We describe the mapping of the BES operations in terms of HTTP actions on resources. We compare the REST formulation of BES with the standard WS-based one. We show that all BES operations can be expressed in a very natural way using the standard HTTP protocol and following the REST approach; moreover, we present useful extensions that are expected to appear in the near future.

Creators: name: Davis, Charles N.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2005

description: The current study is a secondary analysis of a National Institute of Drug Abuse (NIDA) study in which 122 women received treatment for their substance abuse problems. Three models of substance abuse treatment were administered. One included standard substance abuse treatment alone and two models included supplemental couple's therapy in addition to standard treatment. The current study examined the significance of the relationship between changes in the women's levels of intimacy and autonomy, during and after treatment, and their treatment outcomes according to the treatment modality they received.
It was hypothesized that the relationship would be significant in that levels of intimacy and autonomy would be important variables with regard to treatment outcomes in couple's therapy. No statistical significance was reported although some significant trends were found with regard to the fluctuation of intimacy and autonomy levels during and after treatment. Implications for policy, practice, and future research are reviewed.
A physical and chemical study of Tofino Inlet, Vancouver Island, British Columbia.
Creators: name: Coote, Arthur R.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The distribution of the physical and chemical properties in Tofino Inlet is examined in this study. The presence of shallow thresholds in the entrances to the inlet prevents the exchange of deep water in the inlet with oceanic water of the same depth and restricts the intrusion of oceanic water to that of the surface layer. Replacement of the bottom water of the inlet occurs in the summer, when the density of the oceanic surface water is highest for the year, and accounts for the relatively high bottom temperatures, which are observed throughout the year. Between replacements the bottom water in the upper basins of Tofino stagnates and becomes anoxic. Under these stagnant conditions the oxygen supply of this water is used up. Eventually heterotrophic bacteria use sulphate as hydrogen acceptor for the oxidation of organic matter and produce hydrogen sulphide and carbon dioxide. The production of these substances results in an increase In the alkalinity and a decrease in the pH of the water. Using certain assumptions regarding the oxidative processes, calculations are made which suggest that the observed anomalous increase in alkalinity is mainly due to the dissolution of calcium carbonate in these relatively acidic waters. A rate of oxygen utilization is calculated for the deep basin water and is used to determine whether or not replacement of the bottom water was likely during the summer of 1959.
High Statistics Measurement of the Underground Muon Pair Separation at Gran Sasso

Publisher: name: INFN Open Access Repository
Year: 1999

description: WWe present a measurement of the underground decoherence function using multi-muon events observed in the MACRO detector at Gran Sasso at an average depth of 3800hg/cm2. Muon pair separations up to 70 m have been measured, corresponding to parent mesons with P⊥≲1–2GeV/c. Improved selection criteria are used to reduce detector effects mainly in the low distance separation region of muon pairs. Special care is given to a new unfolding procedure designed to minimize systematic errors in the numerical algorithm. The accuracy of the measurement is such that the possible contribution of rare processes, such as μ±+N⃗ μ±+N+μ++μ−, can be experimentally studied. The measured decoherence function is compared with the predictions of the hadronic interaction model of the HEMAS Monte Carlo code. Good agreement is obtained. We interpret this agreement to indicate that no anomalous P⊥ components in soft hadron-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus collisions are required by the MACRO experimental data. Preliminary comparisons with other Monte Carlo codes point out that the uncertainties associated with the hadronic interaction model may be as large as 20%, depending on the energy. MACRO data can be used as a benchmark for future work on the discrimination of shower models in the primary energy region around and below the knee of the spectrum.
Study of the Stability of the LHC Low Beta Inner Triplet for a NB_3SN design
Creators: name: G. Ambrosio

Publisher: name: INFN Open Access Repository
Year: 1999

description: The inner triplet of the low β insertion of LHC is made up of four identical NbTi superconducting quadrupoles. To achieve the nominal luminosity of 10^34cm^-2s^-1 a gradient of 235 T/m is necessary with an aperture of 70 mm. Such a gradient yields a peak field on the coils close to the critical field, endangering the stability for NbTi windings. Improving in the beam and/or collision dynamics depends on the focussing strength of the quads. Nb_3Sn magnet, technologically more complex of the NbTi ones, are a promising solution to improve the gradient beyond the 250 T/m; for this reason we undertook the study of a second generation of low β insertions with N_3Sn magnets. Critic for both the construction techniques is the power deposed by the secondary particles generated by the collisions of the 7+7 TeV proton beams. Previous studies estimated the total power released in the NbTi coils to be around 30 W. In this paper different configurations of aperture and gradient of Nb3Sn coils are examined by tracking the reaction products, as from DTUJET code, in the magnetic field structure and evaluating the energy deposition with the FLUKA code. The stability margin of the magnets is then stated with the analysis of the thermal behaviour with the ANSYS code. The better thermal behaviour using aluminum collars instead of stainless steel is shown. The use of cylindrical absorbers under the magnet leads to an unexpected increase of the peak and of the total power in the second quad of about 50% and of 20% respectively. The operating conditions of all the configurations guarantee a safety margin of operation with no need of any kind of absorbers. In the reference case the maximum power and the peak power deposed in the second quadrupole is 22.4 W and 7.2 mW/cm^3 respectively. The study shows Nb_3Sn seems a viable solution for the low b insertion for LHC if gradient in excess of 250 T/m will be required.

description: We conducted a survey to determine if the existing AuScope Virtual Research Environment (AVRE) still met current researcher needs. We present results from the interviews that gauge the level of interest and engagement with various topics and technologies, including Jupyter Notebooks, machine readable APIs, FAIR Data, metadata and federated portals.
 Our analysis of the results indicates that many researchers would benefit from more flexible and extendable data access and analysis technologies such as machine readable APIs and Python Notebooks, rather than pre-packaged applications. Over the past decade considerable effort has been spent building web-based geospatial portals that provide access to prefabricated analysis-ready data products, built-in tools and fixed workflows. The desire for adding new features to these portals has been eclipsed by a strong demand for easier access to both less processed and analysis-ready datasets via human-centred and machine-friendly interfaces.

description: The Lincoln Elementary School needs assessment surveyed students in the third through fifth grades and their parents in order to identify strengths and concerns in their school and community. It also investigated whether or not participants considered family counseling skills as a concern or a strength. The results showed that the concerns and strengths identified by participants fell into three categories: family, community, and school. Parents' primary concern was children watching TV, while children's primary concern was getting enough sleep. Group differences were identified by ethnicity, gender, and marital status. These differences included English/Spanish skills, children showing respect for authority, and Accelerated Reader Program. Family counseling services was not identified as a concern or strength. However, results indicate that schools are a promising arena for marriage and family therapists to offer their skills in providing needed services.

description: Wenn von Sprachlernberatung die Rede ist, dann denkt man wohl zunächst an eine PräsenzSprachlernberatung, d.h. an eine Sprachlernberatung, bei der sich Berater und Lerner zur selben Zeit am selben Ort befinden und in eine direkte Kommunikation ohne mediale Unterstützung eintreten können; denn eine Präsenz-Sprachlernberatung bietet sich allein wegen der vielen zu beachtenden interagierenden Faktoren sowie wegen der geforderten offenen und authentischen Gesprächssituation an. Der verstärkte Einsatz von Distanzlernen, von Formen des Blended Learning sowohl für Lerngruppen als auch beim selbstgesteuerten Lernen stellt die Sprachlernberatung allerdings vor neue Anforderungen, so dass Distanzformen sich insbesondere dann anbieten, wenn direkte persönliche Kontakte zeitlich und/oder räumlich nicht möglich sind (vgl. auch Rösler 2004: 194ff.). In dem vorliegenden Artikel möchte ich versuchen, einige Spezifika von Präsenz- und Sprachlernberatung auf Distanz herauszukristallisieren und ihre Auswirkungen auf Lerner zu diskutieren.

title: Tutorielle Betreuung beim Online-Sprachprogramm uni-deutsch.de Erste Erfahrungen aus der Praxis

description: Für ausländische Studierende, die sich um einen Studienplatz an einer deutschen Hochschule bewerben, ist oft die Sprachbarriere eine der größten Hürden, die es bei der Bewerbung zu überwinden gilt. Das liegt zum Teil daran, dass in den Heimatländern vieler Studienbewerber deutscher Sprachunterricht nicht in ausreichendem Maße angeboten wird. Auch wenn die Studierenden erfolgreich eine Sprachprüfung bestanden haben und das Studium an einer deutschen Hochschule aufnehmen, sind die Probleme noch nicht überwunden, denn an vielen deutschen Hochschulen fehlt ein ausreichendes Angebot an studienbegleitenden Allgemein- und Fachsprachenkursen. Diese Lücke kann mit "uni-deutsch.de" geschlossen werden, einem Online-Sprachprogramm für ausländische Studierende und Wissenschaftler. [1] Das Programm bietet Lernenden ein umfangreiches Angebot an Materialien und Übungen, mit dem sie sich sprachlich, wissenschaftspropädeutisch und kulturell auf den Aufenthalt an einer deutschen Hochschule vorbereiten können.

description: Einsprachige Wörterbücher sind für viele, die Fremdsprachen lernen, ein eher ungewohntes Hilfsmittel. Von den Lehrbüchern her, die traditionell (und neuerdings vermehrt wieder) Vokabellisten enthalten, und vom schulischen Alltag mit dem ungeliebten Vokabellernen führt der Weg gleichsam wie von selbst zu zweisprachigen Wörterbüchern. Dabei sind einsprachige Wörterbücher ein exzellentes Werkzeug des Spracherlernens, welches das Nachschlagen zu einem eigenständigen Lernvorgang macht, der vor allem auch selbstbestimmt ist. Von daher ist es grundsätzlich zu begrüßen, dass dieser Typ von Wörterbüchern im Fremdsprachenunterricht auf dem Vormarsch ist.
title: The Meaning of "Being Single" for Mormon College-Age Single Adults
Creators: name: Darrington, Jana
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2003

description: This study researched the meaning of being single among 24 college-age adults of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (i.e., Mormons). It examined influences on the construction of meanings of singlehood, gender patterns regarding the meaning of singlehood, and pressures on L.D.S. singles to date and marry.
The most important finding was that positive attitudes toward singlehood are more prevalent than negative or ambivalent attitudes. Families, as gate-keepers and transmitters of cultural information about singlehood and marriage, and the L.D.S. religion were the strongest influences on the development of meanings of singlehood. Families and religion mutually influence one another and meanings of singlehood, and supportive friends helped singles feel that they are not alone. Although there was more variation within than between gender accounts of singlehood, important patterns in construction of attitudes were also discovered. Participants felt both external and internal pressures to date and marry.

description: Die Zeiten des wissenschaftlichen Elfenbeinturms sind vorbei. Wirklich? Diese Einführung blickt auf den innerdeutschen Weg von der Ausländerdiskriminierung zum gleichberechtigten Einbezug der Personen mit Migrationshintergrund in die deutsche Gesellschaft unter Betonung der Korrektheit im Wortgebrauch und in der Deutung visueller Darstellungen. Studierende und Lehrende sollen die bundesrepublikanische Geschichte der hochschulischen "Fachrichtung Interkulturelle Bildung" (15) und möglichst alle Diskussionen, Argumentationsmuster, Maximen, Ansätze, Perspektiven, Modelle, Theorien , Programme und Konzepte (112-167) kennenlernen. Nicht behandelt ist, was Studierende und Lehrende nach Erfahrung des Rezensenten aus vielen Lehrerbildungsveranstaltungen vor allem erfahren wollen, welcher Weg zu (erfolgreichen) Lehr- und Lernprozessen im interkulturellen Fremdsprachenunterricht für Personen mit Migrationshintergrund und unterschiedlicher Ausgangskultur empfohlen wird, beispielsweise, ob und wie man Heterostereotype feststellt und/oder gemeinsame Traditionen als Gesprächs-Stimuli aufgreift, z.B. Schwänke des Nasreddin Hodscha mit Eulenspiegel vergleicht.
title: Trusting the Dating Partner in the Face of Relationship Problems and Uncertainty: The Moderating Role of Parents and Friends
Creators: name: Johnson, Rebecca
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2006

description: Using a sample of 82 college students in dating relationships, this study is an examination of the moderating effect of parents' and friends' approval of the dating relationship on the associations between participants' individual characteristics (age, self-esteem, and own agreeableness) and relationship characteristics (love, ambivalence, conflict, conflict resolution effectiveness, and perception of the partner's agreeableness) with trust. The results of the hierarchical regression analyses showed that approval of the relationship by parents and friends moderated the relationship between individual characteristics and relationship characteristics with trust. Specifically, friends' approval of the relationship moderated the association between self-esteem and age with trust, whereas parents' approval of the relationship moderated the association between love, conflict, ambivalence, and conflict resolution effectiveness, with trust. The findings contribute to research and theory on dyadic trust, uncertainty reduction, and social network approval.

Year: 2023

description: Die vorliegende fünf Kapitel umfassende Monographie ist ein Beitrag zur Sprachkulturforschung. Die Verfasserin geht der Frage nach, in welchem Rahmen sich eine Sprachkulturtheorie konzipieren lässt. Im einführenden Teil (1-8) verweist sie zur Eingrenzung ihres Untersuchungsgegenstands auf zwei Zitate aus dem Buch Der Prinz und der Bottelknabe oder Erzähl mir vom Dow Jones der erfolgreichen Kinder- und Jugendbuchautorin Kirsten Boie. Darin geht es um den Rollentausch zwischen einem Oberschicht- und einem Unterschichtkind und um die Schwierigkeiten, die die beiden Kinder in ihrer neuen Umgebung mit ihren jeweiligen Registern haben bzw. darum, wie negativ ihre jeweilige Sprechweise in ihrer neuen Umgebung bewertet wird. Am Ende der Darstellung drängt sich die Frage auf, wer von den beiden Seiten Recht hat bzw. welche Seite, vor dem Hintergrund der in den drei Kritiken von Kant aufgeworfenen Fragen (Was kann ich wissen? Was soll ich tun? Was darf ich hoffen?), sich mit ihrem Sprachgebrauch auf eine Sprachkultur berufen kann/soll/darf. Um eine Antwort auf diese fundamentale Frage kreisen im Wesentlichen die Ausführungen in der vorgelegten Monographie.
