Invented Superiority:

Publisher: name: Leipziger Universitätsverlag

description: Mit Beginn ihrer kolonialen Expansion nach Irland, Nordamerika und schließlich nach Südasien ab dem . Jahrhundert entwickelten die herrschenden politischen und wirtschaftlichen Klassen Englands ein dezidiertes Verständnis von der eigenen kulturellen und zivilisatorischen Überlegenheit. Im Wesentlichen bestand die Erzeugung dieses Überlegenheitsgefühls im sogenannten „Othering“, also der dezidierten Definition anderer Gesellschaften und Kulturen als rückständig, degeneriert und daher unterlegen. In Britisch-Indien sollte sich dieses Gefühl, und letztlich die Überzeugung einer europäischen Superiorität, an drei Punkten zeigen. Zum einen über die Konstruktion des „zeitlosen indischen Dorfes“, das pars pro toto für die Statik des Orients stand. Zum zweiten über der Hierarchisierung der „indischen Gesellschaft“ aufgrund der brahmanisch-britischen Erfindung des „Kastensystems“, das ebenfalls für die Unveränderlichkeit, aber auch Rückständigkeit der homogenisierten und essentialisierten indischen Gesellschaften stand. Und zum dritten mittels der behaupteten Überlegenheit europäischen Medizinwissens, das nur durch administrative Regulierung durchgesetzt werden konnte. Im kolonialen Kontext Britisch-Indiens ist der homo europaeus geradezu erfunden und letztlich erfolgreich konstruiert worden – mit nachhaltiger Wirkung.

description: Dementia is considered by the World Health Organisation to be ‘a physical, psychological and economic burden’, in part due to stigmatisation maintained by barriers to participation for people given labels of dementia (PGLAD) in daily life. It is increasingly recognised visibility can be key to challenging stigma by enabling PGLAD to reclaim identities masked by power inequalities arising from negative stereotypes. This research answered a challenge from government and a call by the United Nations and the British Psychological Society for a redistribution of power in clinical, research and policy settings by sharing Participatory Action Research (PAR) with people affected by dementia labels as a tool to claim their human rights. Knowledge was generated with action taken through a collective letter disseminated to assumed power-holders in health, government and the third sector. Awareness was raised of issues related to stigma and the lived experience of PGLAD at the individual, social and structural levels. Responses from people in authority, either appointed or elected were considered, with non-responses also seen as a response. Co-researchers were commended for their insights and pledges to act were made. Pledges included change as an individual and as part of wider systems, including motivation to ensure PGLAD’s voices are heard developing policy across the region. Consequently, PAR enabled authentic participation of people with diverse abilities in research which delivered a community level intervention that achieved social and political change at a structural level, despite a pandemic as a barrier to participation. It showed the utility of anarchism as a conceptual approach that can complement a human rights-based approach to psychological research involving power dynamics. This highlights the continued importance of participation of PGLAD in research and the potential of human rights-based approaches as stigma intervention strategies.

description: Als napoleonische Truppen 80 in Lissabon einmarschierten, segelte der portugiesische Monarch João (VI) samt 5.000 Personen im Gefolge gen Brasilien. Rio de Janeiro wurde zum Zentrum des portugiesischen Reiches, es kam zu einer „Umkehrung“ des Verhältnisses von Mutterland und Kolonie. Dieser Aufsatz beleuchtet zunächst die geopolitischen und kulturellen Voraussetzungen dafür, dass die portugiesische politische Elite mit relativer Leichtigkeit ihren Sitz in Europa zugunsten einer neuen Hauptstadt in den Tropen verlassen konnte. Danach werden auf der Basis von Polizeidokumenten jene Herrschaftspraktiken analysiert, die aus der Kolonialstadt eine imperiale Hauptstadt machen sollten. Hierbei fungierten europäische Verhältnisse als Vorbild. Deutlich wird aber auch, dass die in Europa geltenden Standards – je nach politischer Lage und ökonomischen Interessen – stark an die Begebenheiten in Brasilien angepasst werden konnten.

description: Erst seit relativ kurzer Zeit, so die These dieses Beitrags, sprechen Menschen über sich und andere als „Europäer“. Bis in die Frühe Neuzeit hinein blieb dieser Begriff zur Selbst- und Fremdbeschreibung weitgehend unbedeutend, was angesichts seiner heutigen Allgegenwärtigkeit verwundern mag. Der Artikel geht zunächst den Schlüsselmomenten nach, in denen der Begriff an Bedeutung gewann, und er schlüsselt seine Kerndimensionen auf. Danach diskutiert er verschiedene Konzepte, um der Geschichte des „Europäers“ und der „Europäerin“ angemessen nachgehen zu können. Schließlich werden mit Schwerpunkt auf das 20. Jahrhundert einige Arbeitshypothesen zur Geschichte des „Homo Europaeus“ vorgestellt.

description: The discovery of the astrophysical events GW150926 and GW151226 has experimentally confirmed the existence of gravitational waves (GW) and has demonstrated the existence of binary stellar-mass black hole systems. This finding marks the beginning of a new era that will reveal unexpected features of our universe. This work presents a basic insight to the fundamental theory of GW emitted by inspiral binary systems and describes the scientific and technological efforts developed to measure these waves using the interferometer-based detector called LIGO. Subsequently, the work presents a comprehensive data analysis methodology based on the matched filter algorithm, which aims to recovery GW signals emitted by inspiral binary systems of astrophysical sources. This algorithm was evaluated with freely available LIGO data containing injected GW waveforms. Results of the experiments performed to assess detection accuracy showed the recovery of 85% of the injected GW.

description: Die vorliegende Masterarbeit will eine Methode zur prozessorientierten Zusammenarbeit etablieren. Dazu werden in einem ersten Teil Aspekte der Zusammenarbeit kulturhistorisch beleuchtet und soziologisch aufgearbeitet und diskursiv mit der integrativen Schule in Verbindung gebracht. Mit Blick auf konkrete Herausforderungen, die sich in der Koordination der Kooperation zwischen Regel und heilpädagogischen Lehrkräften stellen, werden im zweiten Teil Aspekte des Projekt- und Prozessmanagements mit dem Instrument des Förderzyklusses oder des Förderkreises kritisch verglichen und Lücken in der Prozesssteuerung aufgezeigt. Der dritte Teil der Arbeit schlägt Scrum - ein Framework zur Prozessbegleitung - zur Schliessung der Lücken im Förderkreislauf vor und diskutiert, wie ein solcher Handlungsrahmen der prozessorientierten Zusammenarbeit in integrativen Settings etabliert, die Kooperation dadurch gestärkt und qualitative Aspekte des Unterrichts verbessert werden kann. Damit verbunden ist eine Schärfung das Rollenbildes der Schulischen Heilpädagogik in der integrativen Schule.

description: In this article we study the algebra generated by the holographically reconstructed cubic couplings for the type A minimal bosonic higher-spin theory on AdS$_{d+1}$, which were recently extracted from the free scalar $O(N)$ model. We demonstrate that it is equal to the unique higher-spin algebra for bosonic totally symmetric higher-spin fields in generic dimensions. This provides an explicit check of the holographic reconstruction and of the duality between higher-spin theories and the free $O(N)$ model in general dimensions, extending the result of Giombi and Yin in AdS$_4$. For completeness, we also address the same problem in the flat space for the cubic couplings derived by Metsaev in 1991, which are recovered in the flat limit of the AdS type-A cubic couplings. We observe that both flat and AdS$_4$ higher-spin Lorentz subalgebras coincide, hinting towards the existence of a full higher-spin symmetry behind the flat-space cubic couplings of Metsaev.

Kant in Spanish Liberalism.
Creators: name: Duque, Carl Antonius Lemke
Publisher: name: Leipziger Universitätsverlag
Year: 2015

description: Die Studie behandelt die Rezeption der kritischen Philosophie Immanuel Kants (1724–1804) im frühliberalen Spanien in der Zeit von der Verfassung von Cadiz 8112 bis zum so genannten Trienio liberal (1820–1823). Der Untersuchungsrahmen bezieht sich zunächst auf die diskursiven Einschläge, die in renommierten spanischen Zeitungen und Chroniken bis in die erste Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts in Bezug auf Kant nachweisbar sind. Dazu gehören u. a. Mercurio de España (1784–1830), Crónica científica literaria (1817–1820) und El Español (1835–1848). Der zweite Untersuchungsschwerpunkt bildet die Rezeption der kritischen Philosophie Kants durch den spanischen Juristen und Übersetzer Toribio Nuñez Sesse (1766–1834). Dessen Fassung des Kantischen Kritizismus wurde offensichtlich entscheidend durch die Übersetzung Kants durch den deutsch-französischen Kulturvermittler Charles de Villers (1765–1185) beeinflusst, der als Ordinarius für Philosophie seit 1811 in Göttingen lehrte. Die in der vorliegenden Studie durchgeführte Untersuchung legt nahe, die Rezeption Kants im frühliberalen Spanien als hybride Fusion von zwei trilateralen Transferprozessen zu verstehen.

description: Der Bereich HW/SW-Codesign für eingebettete Systeme umfaßt neben Methoden zur HW/SW-Partitionierung und Hardwaresynthese notwendigerweise auch Techniken zur Codeerzeugung für eingebettete programmierbare Prozessoren. Speziell im Falle von digitalen Signalprozessoren (DSPs) ist die Qualität verfügbarer Compiler unzureichend. Zur Vermeidung von aufwendiger Programmierung auf Assemblerebene sind daher neue DSP-spezifische Codeerzeugungstechiken notwendig. Dieser Beitrag stellt den Compiler RECORD vor, welcher für eine Klasse von DSPs Hochsprachenprogramme in Maschinencode übersetzt. Um den speziellen Anforderungen an Compiler für DSPs gerecht zu werden, werden teilweise formale Methoden eingesetzt. Wir stellen zwei solche für RECORD entwickelte Methoden vor, welche zur Analyse von Prozessormodellen sowie zur Code-Kompaktierung verwendet werden, und diskutieren deren praktische Anwendung.

description: We discuss how nonlocality originates in long-range quantum systems and how it affects their dynamics at and out of the equilibrium. We focus in particular on the Kitaev chains with long-range pairings and on the quantum Ising chain with long-range antiferromagnetic coupling (both having a power-law decay with exponent α). By studying the dynamic correlation functions, we find that for every finite αtwo different behaviours can be identified, one typical of short-range systems and the other connected with locality violation. The latter behaviour is shown related also with the known power-law decay tails previously observed in the static correlation functions, and originated by modes, having in general energies far from the minima of the spectrum, where particular singularities develop as a consequence of the long-rangedness of the system. We refer to these modes as to "singular" modes, and as to "singular dynamics" to their dynamics. For the Kitaev model they are manifest, at finite α, in derivatives of the quasiparticle energy, the order of the derivative at which the singularity occurs increasing with α. The features of the singular modes and their physical consequences are clarified by studying an effective theory for them and by a critical comparison of the results from this theory with the lattice ones. Moreover, a numerical study of the effects of the singular modes on the time evolution after various types of global quenches is performed. We finally present and discuss the presence of singular modes and their consequences in interacting long-range systems by investigating in the long-range Ising quantum chain, both in the deep paramagnetic regime and at criticality, where they also play a central role for the breakdown of conformal invariance.
title: An examination of the ecology and influence of mycorrhizal fungi in UK woodlands using modelling, field studies and restoration experiments
Creators: name: Guy, Petra
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2022

description: This work presents several topics on the role of mycorrhizal fungi in woodland ecosystem function. We start with an exploration of the subset of ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF) with a limited host range, referred to as specialists. Although empirical data demonstrates the existence of specialist and generalist EMF, we do not fully understand the functional differences between them. We therefore use game theory to explore the question, ’what is a specialist EMF?’ Mycorrhizal fungi play a funda�mental part in plant soil dynamics; they influence plant interactions and are major contributors to plant nutrition and health. However, the role of mycorrhizal fungi in woodland conservation and management is still not fully appreciated. We have therefore carried out an in-depth study of the mycorrhizal type of British woody plants which will be accessible to woodland specialists, but perhaps not mycorrhizal specialists, in the hope that this will make decisions involving mycorrhizal type straightforward and accessible. We also show the importance of knowing the mycorrhizal type of woodland plants by demonstrating the relationship between the mycorrhizal type of trees and understory species richness. Detailed data of the distribution of EMF is still sparse, we therefore also carried out extensive field work to ascertain the taxa associated with oaks (Quercus robur, Q. petraea) in Britain. Further, we used multi-site generalised dissimilarity models to explore the drivers of turnover of these communities and how they differed for rare and common species. We show that, whilst species richness of EMF was positively correlated with soil potassium, atmospheric pollutants were the most important drivers of community change. Soil translocation is often used as a means to enhance biodiversity in the restoration of ancient woodlands, however, little is known about the potential of this process as a supply of EMF inoculum. We therefore conducted a pilot study into the potential use of bait trees as a means to examine the the EMF inoculum in these soils by measuring the colonisation rate of saplings planted in a restoration woodland. The study allowed us to isolate several important elements for improvement in the experimental method, as well as several additional components which would allow more precise information regarding inoculum potential of these soils.

description: The ability of an aqueous extract of the rhizomes of Sansevieria liberica to protect against carbon tetrachloride induced liver injury was investigated in Wistar albino rats. The carbon tetrachloride was prepared 1:5 (v:v) in olive oil, and administered subcutaneously at 1 mL/kg body weight. The extract was administered to both normal and carbon tetrachloride treated rats at 100, 200 and 300 mg/kg. On gas chromatographic analysis of the extract, twenty nine known flavonoids were detected, consisting mainly of 31.94 % apigenin, 20.66 % quercetin, 11.28 % kaempferol, 5.99 % naringenin, 5.83 % (-)-epicatechin, 3.69 % biochanin, 3.58 % (+)-catechin, 2.72 % diadzein, 2.20 % ellagic acid, 2.04 % butein. Compared to test control, the treatment dose dependently produced significantly (P<0.05) lower alkaline phosphatase, aspartate transaminase and alanine transaminase activities. The plasma total bilirubin and total protein levels of the test animals were lower though not significantly. The hepatic histo-pathological studies showed that carbon tetrachloride caused fatty degeneration of hepato-cytes, which was inhibited by pre-treatment with the extract; thus, confirming the results of the biochemical studies. The results of this study indicated that treatment with the plant ex-tracts protects the liver against carbon tetrachloride induced hepatotoxicity. This supports the use of Sansevieria liberica in traditional health care for managing liver problems.

description: The impact that COVID-19 is having on the worldwide population has been made clear by the emerging literature on the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, which links it to a broader idea of collective trauma. However, its implications on the healthcare system are particularly significant, considering that the National Health System was already in decline before the pandemic due to persistent underfunding and, as a result, a shortage of staff. Literature on previous pandemics and more recent literature on the COVID-19 outbreak have both drawn attention to the considerable hardships that pandemics impose on frontline workers. Questions about the experience of ICU nurses working on the frontline during the COVID-19 outbreak arise in light of this multi-layered context. This question is being investigated in the current study adopting a hermeneutic phenomenological approach in order to explore participants' relationships to the world and their lived experiences related to this specific phenomenon. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with six senior registered nurses who worked on the frontline as ICU nurses from the start of the pandemic in March 2020 to July 2020. Interviews were transcribed and analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). Four Group Experiential Themes have emerged from the data: ““SURREAL” INSIDE AND OUTSIDE HOSPITALS”, “DOING (VERSUS BEING): THE ADAPTATION TO THE COVID REALITY”, “BYSTANDER: DISAPPOINTMENT WITH THE GOVERNMENT AND THE PUBLIC” and “EMOTIONAL DETACHMENT AS COPING SRATEGY”. As per the methodological underpinning, emphasis has been placed on reflexive awareness. The study seeks to contribute to a new perspective on the topic, integrating literature from Counselling Psychology, Social Justice, and the Power-Threat Meaning Framework (Johnstone & Boyle, 2020).

description: Quantum simulators based on atoms or molecules often have long-range interactions due to dipolar or Coulomb interactions. We present a method based on Floquet engineering to turn a long-range interaction into a short-range one. By modulating a magnetic-field gradient with one or a few frequencies, one reshapes the interaction profile, such that the system behaves as if it only had nearest-neighbor interactions. Our approach works in both one and two dimensions and for both spin-1/2 and spin-1 systems. It does not require individual addressing, and is applicable to all experimental systems with long-range interactions: trapped ions, polar molecules, Rydberg atoms, nitrogen-vacancy centers, and cavity QED. Our approach allows one achieve a short-range interaction without relying on Hubbard superexchange.

description: Aims: We designed this study to get insight into the disorder of lipid metabolism during cholesterol gallstone formation and evaluate the effect of ursodeoxycholic acid on the improvement of bile lithogenicity and on expression of lipid related genes. Methods: Rabbit cholesterol gallstone models were induced by high cholesterol diet. Bile, blood and liver tissues were obtained from rabbits after 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 weeks. Bile and blood lipids were measured enzymatically. 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase (HMGCR), cytochrome P450, family 7, subfamily A, polypeptide 1 (CYP7A1) and sterol carrier protein 2 (SCP2) mRNA expressions were detected by using quantitative real-time RT-PCR. Cholesterol saturation index (CSI) was calculated by using Carey table to represent the bile lithogenicity. Results: Rates of gallstone formation of the 4 and 5 week treatment groups were 100 %, but that of the ursodeoxycholic acid treatment group was only 33.3 %. Expression of HMGCR and SCP2 mRNA in the 4 week group was upregulated and that of CYP7A1 mRNA decreased as compared with the 0 week group. Ursodeoxycholic acid could significantly extend nucleation time of bile and lower CSI. Ursodeoxycholic acid could reduce the expression of SCP2, but couldn’t influence expression of HMGCR and CYP7A1. Conclusions: Abnormal expression of HMGCR, CYP7A1 and SCP2 might lead to high lithogenicity of bile. Ursodeoxycholic acid could improve bile lipids and lower bile lithogenicity, thereby reducing the incidence of gallstones. So it might be a good preventive drug for cholesterol gallstones.

description: Durch die integrative Schulform in der Volksschule hat sich der Berufsauftrag der schulischen Heilpädagogin sowie des schulischen Heilpädagogen verändert. Vermehrt unterrichten sie Schülerinnen und Schüler mit besonderen Bedürfnissen zusammen mit der Klassenlehrperson im Klassenzimmer. Was bedeutet diese Veränderung für die Heilpädagogik? Die integrative Schulungsform bringt viele Vorteile mit sich, aber auch Situationen, die auf den ersten Blick keine zufriedenstellende Lösung ergeben. Mit dem Begriff Dilemma wurden in dieser Masterarbeit drei herausfordernde Gegebenheiten definiert: Beziehung-Zeit, Selbstkonzept-Stigma und Berufsauftrag-Integration. Hierzu wurden mit fünf schulischen Heilpädagoginnen aus dem Kanton Zürich offene Interviews geführt und diese nach ihrem persönlichen Umgang mit den drei Dilemmata im Alltag befragt. Mittels Literaturrecherche wurden zentrale Begriffe und Bedeutungen erarbeitet. Die aus der qualitativen Untersuchung gewonnenen Ergebnisse zeigen, dass schulische Heilpädagoginnen durchaus diesen Dilemmata in ihrem beruflichen Alltag begegnen, sich jedoch an die Vorgaben der Bildungsdirektion des Kantons Zürich für die Integration halten, Lösungen zur Bewältigung von herausfordernden Situationen suchen und diese auch finden. Als zentrales Thema hat sich die Kooperation zwischen den Heilpädagoginnen und Heilpädagogen und Klassenlehrpersonen herauskristallisiert. Es wurden aber auch Grundhaltungen, Arbeitsformen und Didaktische Modelle angesprochen. Aus den Erkenntnissen lassen sich wichtige Schlüsse für die eigene Berufspraxis ziehen.

description: Objective: Although osteoarthritis (OA) is widely accepted as a degenerative disease, autoimmune processes are believed to be involved in the pathogenesis. There are limited studies in this area and most of them focused on antibodies against chondrocyte membrane. In an attempt to address the paucity of evidence in this regard, we explored the clinical significance of antinuclear antibody (ANA) in primary osteoarthritis of the knee (OAK). Method: We studied 106 patients with primary osteoarthritis of at least 1 knee and 63 healthy controls from two tertiary centres in Malaysia from September 2005 to May 2012. All subjects were tested for ANA by immunofluorescence testing, and a titer of 1:40 and above was considered positive. Besides, the radiographs of bilateral knees were evaluated for grading, tibiofemoral compartment involvement and total knee replacement (TKR) implants. We compared the clinical characteristics between the ANA positive and ANA negative OAK cases. Results: The incidence of ANA positivity among the cases (39.4 %) was higher than the controls (27 %) but this difference was statistically insignificant (p=0.754). ANA positive cases showed significantly higher incidence of bilateral and Grade IV OAK with higher frequency of TKR. In the multiple regression analysis, bilateral OAK (p< 0.0001; odds ratio 9.00), Grade IV OAK (p<0.001, odds ratio 3.44) and TKR (p=0.009; odds ratio 2.97) remained associated with ANA positivity. Conclusions: ANA test is a potential prognostic tool in primary OAK and its positivity is associated with the clinical outcomes of bilateral, Grade IV OAK and TKR.

With the above objectives in mind, data was gathered through Questionnaire, Interview and Review of both published and unpublished materials. The information gleaned through questionnaire from a sample of 358 operators and face-to- face interviews were conducted with 5 officials of MSEs actors in oromia region and sebata Town. Eventually, using a mix of qualitative and quantitative tools, the study found out major challenges which seem to affect transitional development of small scale Enterprises in Sabete Town which include: implementation problems related to government bodies at each level, inadequate finance. For the above challenges the Oromia regional government bodies should provide affordable alternative sources of finance and should be strength the government institutions at different levels, to play a major role in positively influencing the development of MSEs. Hence, there is a need for strengthening the MSEs growth, based on findings, recommendations to government bodies, to operators of MSEs and suggestions for other researchers are forwarded

description: In this paper, we study the dynamics of a system of infinitely many fermions in dimensions $d\geq3$ near thermal equilibrium and prove scattering in the case of small perturbation around equilibrium in a certain generalized Sobolev space of density operators. This work is a continuation of our previous paper, and extends the important recent result of M. Lewin and J. Sabin of a similar type for dimension d=2. In the work at hand, we establish new, improved Strichartz estimates that allow us to control the case $d\geq3$.
A mixed method study of a gratitude diary intervention on tinnitus-related distress in adults

description: Background: Tinnitus is a persistent condition which constitutes a challenging and life-changing experience for which there is no medical cure. There is wide-spread consensus that individuals’ interpretation of tinnitus affects how distressing they find it. Research suggests individuals with greater levels of dispositional gratitude are less distressed by tinnitus. However, there is no published research examining whether an experimental manipulation of gratitude reduces tinnitus-related distress. Method: A mixed method design was adopted to evaluate the application and experience of a 3-week gratitude diary intervention in adults with distressing tinnitus. Measures were collected pre- and post-intervention. Primary outcome measures were tinnitus-related distress (Tinnitus Questionnaire) and psychological wellbeing (Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing Scale). Outcomes were evaluated using paired t-tests and correlational analysis. In addition, semi-structured interviews were conducted to explore participants’ experience of the intervention and analysed using reflexive thematic analysis. Finally, quantitative and qualitative results were integrated to develop mixed methods inferences. Results: Fifteen participants completed the intervention and analysis showed a statistically significant reduction in tinnitus-related distress but no change in psychological wellbeing. Correlational analysis found a strong negative relationship between tinnitus duration and tinnitus-related distress, suggesting those who had tinnitus for longer received less benefit. In addition, thematic analysis identified three themes capturing participants (N = 6) broadening awareness, feeling empowered, and changing relationship with tinnitus. Conclusion: Findings suggest that a gratitude diary intervention is an acceptable intervention to reduce tinnitus-related distress in adults. Participants reported a changing relationship with tinnitus as greater awareness of the blessings in their lives seemed to have reduced their preoccupation with tinnitus. However, further research is required to compare the intervention against an active control condition and examine its utility in clinical samples.

description: Работа посвящена тематике новгородских сопок. На настоящий момент известно о существовании более чем тысячи таких памятников. Но несмотря на то, что сопки стали объектом внимания исследователей уже на заре становления отечественной археологической науки, до сих пор многие аспекты их изучения остаются
дискуссионными. Статья содержит историографический и методологический анализ проблемы происхождения новгородских сопок. Автор полагает, что одним из важнейших факторов, повлиявших на этот процесс, стало изменение социального устройства, которое могло быть вызвано началом функционирования торговых коммуникаций. В тексте статьи была сформулирована и представлена гипотеза, истинность либо ложность которой еще предстоит доказать дальнейшим исследованиям.
Reiterated homogenization of hyperbolic-parabolic equations in domains with tiny holes

description: This article studies the homogenization of hyperbolic-parabolic equations in porous media with tiny holes. We assume that the holes are periodically distributed and that the coefficients of the equations are periodic. Using the multi-scale convergence method, we derive a homogenization result whose limit problem is defined on a fixed domain and is of the same type as the problem with oscillating coefficients.

description: Die „emotionale Schulreife“ ist im Gegensatz zu anderen Kompetenzbereichen schwer messbar und deshalb auch schwer zu beurteilen. Dies führt in der Schulreifebeurteilung oft zu Unsicherheiten und Kopfzerbrechen, ob ein Kind welches als emotional unreif beurteilt wird, eingeschult werden soll oder nicht. Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Frage welche Bedeutung die „emotionale Schulreife“ für die Bewältigung des Übergangs in die 1. Klasse und den Umgang mit den dort gestellten Anforderungen hat. Dabei wird das Ziel verfolgt, verschiedene Aspekte im Zusammenhang mit der „emotionalen Schulreife“ darzustellen und somit mehr Klarheit für die Beurteilung der „emotionale Schulreife“ zu schaffen. Auf der Basis, der durch die Literatur gewonnenen Erkenntnissen, wurden Interviewfragen für Lehrpersonen ausgearbeitet. Diese geben einen Einblick, wie emotional unreife Kinder im Anfangsunterricht wahrgenommen werden, wie man ihnen begegnet, sie fördert und wie sie sich weiter entwickeln. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass emotional unreife Kinder, oft nur dank grossem Einsatz von Lehrpersonen, Eltern und dem Kind selber, am Unterricht teilhaben können und die momentanen Möglichkeiten nach dem Kindergarten für solche Kinder, eine unbefriedigende Situation darstellen. Zusätzlich konnte festgestellt werden, dass es offenbar zwei Gruppen von Kindern gibt, welche im Anfangsunterricht ähnliche Merkmale zeigen.

description: This study analyzes the impact of German codetermination rights on overtime hours. Using German personal data, our results show that the effects of works councils strongly depend on the contracted working time. Furthermore, we find a strong heterogeneity in the effects of works councils across different quantiles of the overtime hours distribution. By considering contracted working time effects and comparing conditional quantiles we find that works council increase the amount of overtime hours if an employee regularly works 35 hours per week. This effect diminishes with increasing quantiles of the distribution of overtime hours. If an employee regularly works 40 hours per week, works councils reduce overtime hours. This reduction becomes larger if higher quantiles are analyzed.

Globalizing Standardization:

Year: 2013

description: Unternehmen und Aktivisten im so genannten ‚globalen Süden’ halten die sozialen und Umweltstandards der Internationalen Organisation für Normierung (ISO) für berechtigt und angemessen. Die Legitimität der Organisation resultiert aus dem zunehmenden Einschluss nichtwestlicher Akteure und Vertreter aus kolonialisierten Gesellschaften in die internationale Standardisierungsbewegung, wobei dieser Prozess lange vor der Gründung der ISO im Jahr 1946 begann. Seit den 1950er Jahren trugen die Vereinten Nationen zur Schaffung von Standardisierungsorganisationen außerhalb Europas und Nordamerikas bei, die über kurz oder lang Teil des Netzwerkes der ISO wurden. In den 1960er Jahren förderte die ISO die Partizipation aus ‚südlichen‘ Weltregionen, und nach dem Ende des Kalten Krieges schlossen sich nicht-westliche Standardisierungsorganisationen jenen Lobby-Gruppen an, die neue oder erneuerte Demokratien konsolidierten. Gemeinsam erreichte man, dass sich die ISO auch mit den Bereichen Umwelt und Soziales befasste.
