description: We examine whether the super star-forming clumps (R~1-3 kpc; M~10^8-10^9.5 Msun) now known to be a key component of star-forming galaxies at z~2 could be the formation sites of the locally observed old globular cluster population. We find that the stellar populations of these super star-forming clumps are excellent matches to those of local metal-rich globular clusters. Moreover, this globular cluster population is known to be associated with the bulges / thick disks of galaxies, and we show that its spatial distribution and kinematics are consistent with the current understanding of the assembly of bulges and thick disks from super star-forming clumps at high redshift. Finally, with the assumption that star formation in these clumps proceeds as a scaled-up version of local star formation in molecular clouds, this formation scenario reproduces the observed numbers and mass spectra of metal-rich globular clusters. The resulting link between the turbulent and clumpy disks observed in high-redshift galaxies and a local globular cluster population provides a plausible co-evolutionary scenario for several of the major components of a galaxy: the bulge, the thick disk, and one of the globular cluster populations.

description: We calculate the effect of variation in the light-current quark mass, $m_q$, on standard big bang nucleosynthesis. A change in $m_q$ at during the era of nucleosynthesis affects nuclear reaction rates, and hence primordial abundances, via changes the binding energies of light nuclei. It is found that a relative variation of $δm_q/m_q = 0.016 \pm 0.005$ provides better agreement between observed primordial abundances and those predicted by theory. This is largely due to resolution of the existing discrepancies for 7Li. However this method ignores possible changes in the position of resonances in nuclear reactions. The predicted 7Li abundance has a strong dependence on the cross-section of the resonant reactions 3He(d,p)4He and t(d,n)4He. We show that changes in $m_q$ at the time of BBN could shift the position of these resonances away from the Gamow window and lead to an increased production of 7Li, exacerbating the lithium problem.
The development of social services in Tasmania.
Creators: name: Brown, Joan C
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: In the early days of the Colony, the Lieutenant-Governors inevitably took a paternal role, providing for the needs not only of the convicts who were their prime responsibility, but also for settlers in difficulty. Under Arthur this continued and Van Diemen's Land did not follow the example of New South Wales in subsidising voluntary agencies to enable them to take the lead in providing social services. Arthur expanded the services providing hospitals for the sick and the mentally depots for the aged and infirm, orphan schools for the orphan and destitute child and made separate arrangements for boy convicts. Some voluntary activity was evident principally in the relief field, but it received no assistance from the government and inadequate support from the colonists and so made little headway. The three succeeding Lieutenant-Governors, Franklin, Eardley-Willmot and Denison faced with serious budgetary problems, endeavoured to cut back services for the free poor and resorted to a number of expedients both major and petty to reduce overall costs and to limit the expansion of the services. Voluntary agencies were encouraged verbally but given no subsidy and though more was achieved in this period than under Arthur, the agencies' financial difficulties and lack of public support severely limited the scope of operations. As transportation ended and independence drew near the Imperial Government allowed the services to run down so that at the point of handover to the Colonial government, all were in poor shape. The newly independent government began with enthusiasm to refurbish the social services but before long complaints of excessive expenditure on the poor forced a halt and for the remainder of the century the policy was economy at all costs. The pressure of demand for services and public criticism forced the continued expansion and improvement of the services and in spite of government apathy and reluctance to provide adequate finance, much was achieved. A significant part was played by a small group of public servants in securing changes in policy to meet changing needs. Every encouragement was given to voluntary agencies to establish themselves, including regular subsidies, the use of old Imperial buildings and grants for .special purposes. The agencies began to assume responsibility for some sectors of the social services but lack of adequate local support limited their work to a comparatively subordinate role. A marked increase in voluntary activity in the last ten years of the century while strengthening and widening their sphere of work nevertheless left the state in the dominant position which it had occupied in the social services throughout the century. The study considers the reasons for this pattern of development and also traces through the century the influence of ideas about poverty, of attitudes to the poor and of the impact of the penal system and its aftermath on the social services in Tasmania.

description: It is shown that a putative evolution of the fundamental couplings of strong and weak interactions via coupling to dark energy through a generalized Bekenstein-type model may, for a linear model of variation, cause deviations on the statistical nuclear decay Rutherford-Soddy law unless bounds are imposed on the parameters of this variation. Existing bounds for the weak interaction exclude any significant deviation. Bounds on the strong interaction are much less stringent.

1, 2, 4 - triazole-aldehydes
Creators: name: Browne, EJ
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Althouth many C-aldehydes of azoles and azines, including those of 1,2,3-triazoles, are known and readily obtainable, free aldehydes derived from 1,2,4-triazole do not appear to have been isolated previously. The main aim of the work submitted in this thesis was the synthesis of such 1,2,4-triazole-C-aldehydes. Frerichs and Beckurts (26) isolated the phenylhydrazone of 1-phenyl-5-hydroxy-1,2,4-triazole-3-aldehyde from the complex mixture produced by reaction of phenylhydrazine with chloroacetylurethane or chloroacetylurea, but did not prepare the aldehyde itself. Parkes (58) prepared the 2,4,-dinitro-phenylhydrazone of 0 (or N)-acetyl-3-hydroxy-1,2,4-triazole-5-aldehyde. The crude free aldehyde was formed by ozonolysis of the corresponding 5-styryl compound, followed by treatment with Adams' catalyst but it could not be obtained pure. Apart from these cases, 1,2,4-triazole-C-aldehydes or their derivatives have not been noted in the literature. The chemistry of the 1,2,4-triazoles has recently been reviewed (66), but relatively little is known when compared with the chemistry of other N-heteroaromatic series. A preliminary study of the properties of the 1,2,4-triazoles suggested that the aldehydes might not be prepared as readily as in some other series. A brief summary is therefore given of the types of reaction which 1,2,4-triazoles might be expected to undergo, with reference to what is known of the electron distribution in the nucleus. This is compared with observed reactivity, or otherwise, in the few specific cases which have been described or studied. From this, limitations imposed by the intrinsic properties of the nucleus could be taken into account, to to some extent, in seeking the course of reaction most likely to yield the desired compounds. Unfortunately, few quantitative measurements are available. Several 1,2,4-triazole-aldehydes have been obtained and observations made of the properties of the 1,2,4-triazoles during the course of this work, do, in general agree with what was expected.

description: The purpose of the paper is to find explicit formulas describing the joint distributions of the first hitting time and place for half-spaces of codimension one for a diffusion in $\R^{n+1}$, composed of one-dimensional Bessel process and independent n-dimensional Brownian motion. The most important argument is carried out for the two-dimensional situation. We show that this amounts to computation of distributions of various integral functionals with respect to a two-dimensional process with independent Bessel components. As a result, we provide a formula for the Poisson kernel of a half-space or of a strip for the operator $(I-Δ)^{α/2}$, $0

description: In the 5-year WMAP data analysis, a new parametrization form for dark energy equation-of-state was used, and it has been shown that the equation-of-state, $w(z)$, crosses the cosmological-constant boundary $w=-1$. Based on this observation, in this paper, we investigate the reconstruction of quintom dark energy model. As a single-real-scalar-field model of dark energy, the generalized ghost condensate model provides us with a successful mechanism for realizing the quintom-like behavior. Therefore, we reconstruct this scalar-field quintom dark energy model from the WMAP 5-year observational results. As a comparison, we also discuss the quintom reconstruction based on other specific dark energy ansatzs, such as the CPL parametrization and the holographic dark energy scenarios.

description: This paper presents an exploratory examination of video-mediated classroom interaction in School and University settings, a modality of teaching and learning which has recently experienced a rapid growth as a consequence of the COVID-19 emergency. Based on a corpus of audio and video recorded virtual classes, we analyze how instructors and students cope with the challenges of not being physically copresent and lacking direct visual contact in the virtual enviroment, and discuss how fundamental mechanisms of face-to-face classroom interaction –participants’ mutual orientation in the opening phase, speakers’ identification and recognition, as well as instructors’ actions like comprehension checks, solicitations for questions/comments, questions and evaluations– are partially modified in the virtual environment, making it more complex, for instructors, to enhance students’ active participation. Final considerations are devoted to the possible implications of these preliminary findings.

description: Certain short polycations, such as TAT and polyarginine, rapidly pass through the plasma membranes of mammalian cells by an unknown mechanism called transduction as well as by endocytosis and macropinocytosis. These cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) promise to be medically useful when fused to biologically active peptides. I offer a simple model in which one or more CPPs and the phosphatidylserines of the inner leaflet form a kind of capacitor with a voltage in excess of 180 mV, high enough to create a molecular electropore. The model is consistent with an empirical upper limit on the cargo peptide of 40--60 amino acids and with experimental data on how the transduction of a polyarginine-fluorophore into mouse C2C12 myoblasts depends on the number of arginines in the CPP and on the CPP concentration. The model makes three testable predictions.

description: The architecture of the 20th century has been largely affected by changes in the field of technology. In particular, the evolution of digital representation has led to new visions of contemporary architectural space. Expressive freedoms, which in the pre-digital era stemmed from visionary approaches, now become feasible thanks to modern modelling technologies.
They determine a mutation of working processes and creative elaboration, proving to be more than just a mechanical tool without theoretical-speculative implications. Transformation of reality into updatable and modifiable data flows leads towards a new weltanschauung, characterised by the modern paradigms of precariousness and flexibility. Digital world, based on processing of algorithms and information, becomes a link between art and mathematics. The theoretical universe based on the fourth dimension and non-euclidean geometries, which had produced interesting artistic effects in the avantgarde movements of the 20th century, now finds a means of expression in the field of architecture.
The paper explores the assumptions of contemporary architectural expressions and the implications that digital technologies have had on changes in architecture since the 1990s: from the fluid and deconstructed shapes linked to multidimensional experiments to the most recent experiences, placed at the border between art and architecture, that are experimenting with the transfer of digital language into the real world.

description: The aim of the study was to determine the complementarity of the Cohesion Policy and the Common Agricultural Policy in terms of their impact on the development of rural areas between 2021 and 2027. In their research, the authors paid particular attention to the distribution of support between the aforementioned policies in the context of social and economic problems occurring in rural areas. The empirical material consisted of literature on the subject and documentation related to the preparation and implementation of the analyzed policies. The analysis of documents, literature on the subject and practice indicates a growing need to demonstrate the complementarity of both policies in the process of programing individual development instruments, especially in the territorial dimension, where the separation of individual aspects of socio-economic life is extremely difficult, hence the need for a cross-sector approach, definition and response to local challenges.

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Nutritional and physiological studies were made on species of Tilletiopsis. The variation in assimilation of glucose, maltose, starch, sodium nitrate, glutamic acid and phenylalanine proved to be useful in delimiting the species. The other criteria used in the classification of Tilletiopsis were splitting of arbutin, pigment production, thiamine requirement and gelatin liquefaction. On the basis of these results, a key for identification of species of Tilletiopsis has been proposed. Three previously unknown species of Tilletiopsis; T. albescens, T. pallescens and T. fulvescens have been described. These new species showed some variation in their morphology as well as in their physiology.

description: We investigate the coalescence of two DNA-bubbles initially located at weak domains and separated by a more stable barrier region in a designed construct of double-stranded DNA. In a continuum Fokker-Planck approach, the characteristic time for bubble coalescence and the corresponding distribution are derived, as well as the distribution of coalescence positions along the barrier. Below the melting temperature, we find a Kramers-type barrier crossing behavior, while at high temperatures, the bubble corners perform drift-diffusion towards coalescence. In the calculations, we map the bubble dynamics on the problem of two vicious walkers in opposite potentials. We also present a discrete master equation approach to the bubble coalescence problem. Numerical evaluation and stochastic simulation of the master equation show excellent agreement with the results from the continuum approach. Given that the coalesced state is thermodynamically stabilized against a state where only one or a few base pairs of the barrier region are re-established, it appears likely that this type of setup could be useful for the quantitative investigation of thermodynamic DNA stability data as well as the rate constants involved in the unzipping and zipping dynamics of DNA, in single molecule fluorescence experiments.

description: The aim of the research was to analyse the historical legacy/heritage of the city of Gdańsk in order to characterise the narrative tools which can be used to promote the cultural identity of the urban landscape. The main focus was on the city’s defence system – a cultural route that is spatially limited to a relatively small area, but temporally spanning almost a millennium. The fortifications demarcate a spatial boundary, limiting the urban layout, which has remained distinguishable over the centuries, however changing its image. The research activities have been carried out by a multidisciplinary group of scholars participating in the H2020 PROMETHEUS European project aimed at developing innovative methodologies for digitising architecture with the integration of multidisciplinary data and information models, leading to specialised figures capable of operating on heritage built assets. The image of the city and the urban landscape is transforming in an attempt to strengthen its historical identity. In each century, new architectural and formal models are introduced, which become integrated with the structural characteristics of the urban layout, altering the urban space. Today, in the digital age, it is becoming strategic not only to convert architecture and its models, but also to make the urban image more explicit, trying to translate the invariants of the landscape into the 3D digital databases.

Gender stereotypes : a social cognitive approach
Creators: name: Barber, Sandra
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: A social cognitive approach to stereotype research, utilizing the theory and methods of cognitive psychology while emphasizing the fundamentally social nature of the phenomena in question, was used to investigate gender stereotypes. Stereotypes of femininity and masculinity were conceptualized as schemata, following the work of Bern (1981) and Markus & Crane (1982), and some anomalies in the previous research were addressed. Markus and her colleagues focussed on gender self schemata, and seemed to establish that sex typed individuals are either feminine schematic or masculine schematic; while Bern confounded self schemata and role schemata, and argued for a generalized gender schema for both self and other relevant information. One of the aims of the current investigation was to assess the structure of gender role schemata. Particular reference was made to negative sex typed traits and how important they are to stereotypes of femininity and masculinity. The cognitive methodology used was a lexical decision task in which pairs of words were presented sequentially, and subjects were required to respond to the second one, deciding whether it was a real word or not. On the basis of research showing that subjects respond significantly faster to words when they follow a word with which they are highly semantically associated (eg. Meyer & Schvaneveldt, 1976; Dannenbring & Briand, 1982), the priming effect was proposed as measure of associative strength. This application had been used in stereotype research only once before, by Gaertner & Mclaughlin (1983) in their investigation of racial stereotypes. Three categories of prime words were used - feminine, masculine and neutral; followed by feminine positive, feminine negative, masculine positive, masculine negative and neutral target words (and matched nonwords). Neutral prime-target trials were included in order to validate the methodology. The results suggested that the lexical decision task could be used as a nonreactive measure of associative strength in stereotype research, but care must be taken to avoid certain methodological problems, especially the excessive repetition of prime words. It was found that for feminine and masculine target words subjects' response time did not differ whether the preceding prime was gender appropriate or inappropriate, providing tentative support for a generalized gender role schema, although further research could clarify this issue. In contrast, for feminine and masculine negative target words, reaction times were significantly faster to words when they followed gender incongruent primes than congruent ones. The differential response would seem to be indicative of an inhibitory mechanism, and is inconsistent with the notion of a generalized gender schema.

description: We study the light dispersion relation in a periodic ensemble of atoms at fixed positions in the Fano-Hopfield model (the atomic dipole being modeled with harmonic oscillators). Compared to earlier works, we do not restrict to cubic lattices, and we do not regularize the theory by hand but we renormalize it in a systematic way using a Gaussian cut-off in momentum space. Whereas no omnidirectional spectral gap is known for light in a Bravais atomic lattice, we find that, for a wide range of parameters, an omnidirectional gap occurs in a diamond atomic lattice, which may be realized in an experiment with ultra-cold atoms. The long-wavelength limit of the theory also provides a Lorentz-Lorenz (or Clausius-Mossotti) relation for an arbitrary lattice.

description: The existence of a shallow decay phase in the early X-ray afterglows of gamma-ray bursts is a common feature. Here we investigate the possibility that this is connected to the formation of a highly magnetized millisecond pulsar, pumping energy into the fireball on timescales longer than the prompt emission. In this scenario the nascent neutron star could undergo a secular bar-mode instability, leading to gravitational wave losses which would affect the neutron star spin-down. In this case, nearby gamma-ray bursts with isotropic energies of the order of 1e50 ergs would produce a detectable gravitational wave signal emitted in association with an observed X-ray light-curve plateau, over relatively long timescales of minutes to about an hour. The peak amplitude of the gravitational wave signal would be delayed with respect to the gamma-ray burst trigger, offering gravitational wave interferometers such as the advanced LIGO and Virgo the challenging possibility of catching its signature on the fly.

description: Digital technology connects people in digital space focusing the attention on images, which create and introduce you into artificial spaces. The development of digital technology offers the possibility of living immersive experiences in suitable activities to improve real skills in digital ‘room’. That means the possibility of exploring otherwise impossible space, opening to new applications of visual arts. Digital reality explores imaginary worlds through senses, first of all the sight. Hybrid reality becomes actual through visual images. Because of that the imaging requires first of all the management of visual space. Perspective makes believable the space visualization, and the drawing tradition becomes the main reference to the design of suitable space, as well in the rhetoric of impossible world.
The architectural drawing enhances the perspective by light and shadow, more than color. Besides the unreal architecture, the graphic art shows interesting representations of abstract mathematical spaces, referred to the concepts of Not Euclidean Geometry.
Some considerations open a further research comparing the drawing tradition with last trends in contemporary imagery,
starting with Utopia’s imaginary architecture. Today images confirm the role of the perspective, thus the relationship between the eye and the room.

Simulation and preliminary study of low resolution PCM and DPCM picture transmission systems.
Creators: name: Allan, Donald Peter
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: A monochromatic image can be represented by a real function f(x,y,t) of two spatial variables and time. Picture transmission research is directed at finding methods of transmitting a facsimile of f(x,y,t) at minimum cost which still satisfies some quality criteria. The ensemble of source, functions, and the measures of cost and quality are defined by the application. For many applications, the subjective quality is an important measure of performance. Generally, it is difficult if not impossible to find a tractable analytic relationship between the source and system parameters, and the subjective quality. Thus,for picture processing research, equipment must be available for simulating proposed systems so that pictures can be produced and estimates made of the subjective quality. This thesis will describe a system which was devised for studying low resolution picture transmission systems. The system employs an image dissector to input picture data to a PDP-9 computer. The data can be stored on magnetic tape, processed and then displayed on a picture output device which employs a Tektronix 561 Oscilloscope. A set of general purpose programs was developed for manipulating picture data using this hardware configuration. Three test pictures were read in and particular programs were written to calculate some picture statistics. The statistics include signal histograms, auto-covariance functions and, some run length statistics for the two level material. These statistics were then used as design information for some simulation programs. A program was written to simulate Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) and Differential Pulse Code Modulation (DPCM) systems in order to evaluate the subjective effect of channel errors on pictures transmitted by PCM and DPCM. An attempt was also made to develop a simple two-dimensional filter program to reduce the effect of channel noise. Since the channel noise in the PCM and DPCM systems produced two-dimensional noises which were very different in appearance, two filtering routines were necessary. Subjective rating tests were conducted to evaluate the filtered and unfiltered PCM and DPCM pictures. For the unfiltered systems, these tests indicate that for good channels, the DPCM system is better than the PCM system while for very bad channels, the pictures produced by the PCM system are subjectively better than those of a DPCM system using the same number of bits. It was found also that the PCM filter proposed, improved the noisy pictures while the proposed DPCM filter produced no improvement and even lowers the quality of some of the pictures.

description: An obstacle to realize supersymmetry on a lattice is the breakdown of Leibniz rule. We give a proof of a no-go theorem that it is impossible to construct a lattice field theory in an infinite lattice volume with any nontrivial field products and difference operators that satisfy the following three properties: (i) translation invariance, (ii) locality and (iii) Leibniz rule. We then propose a way to escape from the no-go theorem by introducing infinite flavors, and present a lattice model of N=2 supersymmetric quantum mechanics equipped with the full exact supersymmetry.

description: The city and architecture are often the protagonists of drawn narratives in which spatial connotation wants to be an element of contextualization and recognizability, but also of externalization of existential places. They appear in comics reshaped on real and fantastic lifestyles that combine narrative invention and architectural representation. The research takes into consideration three large stylistic/expressive groupings of comics, to then carry out a parallel analysis of three large cities, coinciding with the same contexts of origin of the comics. To identify new scenarios in the field of architectural representation and visual communication.
In the narrative layout of comics, architecture assumes the role of iconic figure, whose meaning is expressed through the separation and cohesion of the sign and refers to a place understood as a defined space-time element.

Drawing Architecture of the Italian Economic Miracle: The Sketches of Vico Magistretti
Creators: name: Damiano, Salvatore
Publisher: name: img journal
Year: 2023

description: How was architecture drawn in Italy during the years of the economic boom?
The case of Vico Magistretti, a born in Milan architect and pupil of Ernesto Nathan Rogers, as well as a designer of international renown, could provide insight into the evolution of ways of representing architecture, especially during the conceptual stages of the project. The critical re-reading of a selection of six design sketches, dating from the period between the beginning of the 1950s and the end of the 1960s, outlines a cognitive and communicative path of architectural values. But drawing is also a moment of verification of architecture’s perceptive, relational, and spatial datum, which Magistretti would decline throughout his long career convincingly and constantly in one way to achieve progressively different results.

Extracting bulk properties of self-assembling systems from small simulations

description: For systems that self assemble into finite-sized objects, it is sometimes convenient to compute the thermodynamics for a small system where a single assembly can form. However, we show that in the canonical ensemble the use of small systems can lead to significant finite-size effects due to the suppression of concentration fluctuations. We introduce methods to estimate the bulk-yields from simulations of small systems and to follow the convergence of yields with system size, under the assumptions that the various species behave ideally. We also propose an extension to the umbrella sampling technique that allows the formation of multiple finite-sized objects.

description: The present work focuses on an expeditious teaching experience of Architecture and 3D modelling aimed at the ‘Architectural Drawing II’ and ‘Computer Graphics’ students of the Building Engineering-Architecture Degree Programme of the University of Salerno, Italy.
The students, involved in the ‘Italy-South Africa Joint Research Programme, ISARP 2018-2020 – A Social e spatial investigation at the Moxomatsi village, Mpumalanga’ (SSIMM), were supported in the digital reconstruction of three iconic examples of modern architecture located in South America and South Africa, i.e., the Curutchet House (La Plata, Argentina), the Coromandel Estate Manor House (Mpumalanga, South Africa) and the Jooste House (Pretoria, South Africa).
Through an Alice-in-wonderland-type of voyage, they had the chance to first analyse the complex inner space of these architectural assets that both emerge from and fade into the landscape and then propose their own interpretation through rendered and post-processed imagery.

description: The objective of the study is to assess the accuracy of a standard FDTD code in description of high-Q resonances such as whispering-gallery-mode (WGM) ones excited in circular dielectric resonators. To achieve the goal, we consider circular resonators excited by line currents and extract the data on FDTD accuracy from comparisons between the FDTD-solution and the exact one obtained by the Mie-series solutions. The near-field and far-field characteristics are studied for resonators of various sizes, made of quartz and silicon. Both E - and H - polarizations are considered. The computational error, i.e. a resonance frequency shift observed for the FDTD solution, is analyzed and compared for several WGMs having different Q-factors.

The Production of Architectural Imagery Via Exhibitions: Three Scholars Show Their Work At Ar/Ge Kunst, Bolzano
Creators: name: Gigliotti, Roberto
Publisher: name: img journal
Year: 2023

description: Both the so-called academic research and the field research related to the production of an exhibition might have a relevant influence not only on the discourse around architecture but also on the production of an architectural imagery and on architecture itself. Starting from the position of the three scholars/artists/architects that conducted their research at ar/ge kunst in Bolzano –on the border between speculative and spatial production– between 2016 and 2018, the aim of this paper is to investigate their proposals in order to bring to light the undeniable relationship between academic assumptions and explorations concerned with the production of an architectural imagery via an exhibition.

Implementing Loss Distribution Approach for Operational Risk
Creators: name: Shevchenko, Pavel V.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Risk Management (q-fin.RM)
subject: FOS: Economics and business

description: To quantify the operational risk capital charge under the current regulatory framework for banking supervision, referred to as Basel II, many banks adopt the Loss Distribution Approach. There are many modeling issues that should be resolved to use the approach in practice. In this paper we review the quantitative methods suggested in literature for implementation of the approach. In particular, the use of the Bayesian inference method that allows to take expert judgement and parameter uncertainty into account, modeling dependence and inclusion of insurance are discussed.

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht im weitesten Sinne Prozesse der Inklusion und Exklusion im gemeinsamen Unterricht der Grundschule. Dabei wird unter Bezugnahme auf Theorien zur Teilnahme an Unterricht, zur Konstruktion von Leistung sowie zu Adressierungs- und Anerkennungsprozessen der Frage nachgegangen, welchen Orientierungen die beteiligten Lehrkräfte und Schüler:innen hinsichtlich dessen, was Teilnahme am Unterricht bedeutet, folgen und wie sie diese möglicherweise divergenten Auffassungen gelingender Teilnahme untereinander aushandeln. Mithilfe der Dokumentarischen Methode der Videointerpretation erfolgt so erstens eine Rekonstruktion der den beobachteten Praktiken jeweils zugrundeliegenden Normen und den daraus resultierenden (Verhaltens-)Erwartungen an das jeweilige Gegenüber sowie deren Entstehungsbedingungen. In der untersuchten Unterrichtsstunde im Mathematikunterricht einer 3. Klasse ist dann auch nicht unbedingt die Fähigkeit der Schüler:innen, kognitive Lernprozesse zu vollziehen, ausschlaggebend für die Aushandlung von Ein- und Ausschlüssen, sondern vielmehr entfaltet sich diese über die (Nicht-)Erfüllung von Verhaltensanforderungen, wie sie von Seiten der Lehrkräfte gesetzt werden. Aus den herausgearbeiteten Ergebnissen ergeben sich in einem weiteren Schritt zweitens Schlussfolgerungen für eine durch die Lehrkräftebildung zu realisierende weitere Professionalisierung des Berufsfeldes.
description: This study examines processes of inclusion and exclusion in the context of joint instruction in the primary classroom. Concerning theories on participation in class, on the construction of performance, and on processes of addressing and recognition, it explores which orientations the teachers and students involved follow about what participation in class means, and how they negotiate these possibly divergent understandings of successful participation among themselves. With the help of the documentary method of video interpretation, the underlying norms of the observed practices and the resulting (behavioral) expectations of the respective counterpart as well as the conditions under which they arose are reconstructed. In the investigated lesson in a 3rd-grade mathematics class, the ability of the students to perform cognitive learning processes is not necessarily decisive for the negotiation of inclusion and exclusion, but rather it unfolds through the (non-)fulfillment of behavioral requirements as set by the teachers. In a further step, conclusions for further professionalization of the professional field to be realized by teacher training are derived from the results.
