Subjektives Erleben verbaler Aggressionen gegen Mitarbeitende in deutschen Kliniken. Eine explorative Studie
Creators: name: Richter, Dirk
Publisher: name: Gentner
Year: 2014

description: Ziel: Erstellung einer explorativen Studie über das subjektive Erleben verbaler Aggressionen gegen Mitarbeitende in deutschen Kliniken. Methode: Mittels einer schriftlichen bzw. Online-Befragung wurden 1053 Mit-arbeitende mit einem selbst entwickelten Fragebogen zum Erleben von Häufigkeiten und Auswirkungen verschiedener Aggressionsformen befragt. Die Stichprobe bestand überwiegend aus Mitarbeitenden psychiatrischer Einrichtungen. Ergebnisse: 16 % der Befragten gaben an, verbale Aggressionen täglich in den letzten 6 Monaten erlebt zu haben. Als besonders belastend wurden Drohungen erlebt. In der multivariaten Analyse der Gesamtbelastung durch verbale Aggressionen erwies sich hinsichtlich der soziodemografischen Merkmale die Berufsgruppe der Pflege als signifikanter Prädiktor sowie ein Lebensalter unter 26 Jahren. Weitere signifikante Prädiktoren waren häufige Beschimpfungen, häufiges Erleben rüder Sprache, häufiges Verweigerungsverhalten von Patienten, sowie sich durch Drohungen, sexuelle Anmache, rüde Sprache belastet zu fühlen. Häufiges Deeskalationsverhalten hingegen wirkte sich signifikant protektiv aus. Schlussfolgerungen: Verbalen Aggressionen muss mehr Aufmerksamkeit durch Klinikleitungen und Betriebsärzten gewidmet werden. Präventionsprogramme, die heute zumeist auf körperliche Aggressionen ausgerichtet sind, sollten in Richtung verbaler Deeskalation weiterentwickelt werden.

description: Background: Domestication, breed formation and intensive selection have resulted in divergent cattle breeds that likely exhibit their own genomic signatures. In this study, we used genotypes from 27,612 autosomal single nucleotide polymorphisms to characterize population structure based on 9214 sires representing nine Swiss dairy cattle populations: Brown Swiss (BS), Braunvieh (BV), Original Braunvieh (OB), Holstein (HO), Red Holstein (RH), Swiss Fleckvieh (SF), Simmental (SI), Eringer (ER) and Evolèner (EV). Genomic inbreeding (FROH) and signatures of selection were determined by calculating runs of homozygosity (ROH). The results build the basis for a better understanding of the genetic development of Swiss dairy cattle populations and highlight differences between the original populations (i.e. OB, SI, ER and EV) and those that have become more popular in Switzerland as currently reflected by their larger populations (i.e. BS, BV, HO, RH and SF). Results: The levels of genetic diversity were highest and lowest in the SF and BS breeds, respectively. Based on FST values, we conclude that, among all pairwise comparisons, BS and HO (0.156) differ more than the other pairs of populations. The original Swiss cattle populations OB, SI, ER, and EV are clearly genetically separated from the Swiss cattle populations that are now more common and represented by larger numbers of cows. Mean levels of FROH ranged from 0.027 (ER) to 0.091 (BS). Three of the original Swiss cattle populations, ER (FROH: 0.027), OB (FROH: 0.029), and SI (FROH: 0.039), showed low levels of genomic inbreeding, whereas it was much higher in EV (FROH: 0.074). Private signatures of selection for the original Swiss cattle populations are reported for BTA4, 5, 11 and 26. Conclusions: The low levels of genomic inbreeding observed in the original Swiss cattle populations ER, OB and SI compared to the other breeds are explained by a lesser use of artificial insemination and greater use of natural service. Natural service results in more sires having progeny at each generation and thus this breeding practice is likely the major reason for the remarkable levels of genetic diversity retained within these populations. The fact that the EV population is regionally restricted and its small census size of herd-book cows explain its high level of genomic inbreeding.

description: In conditionally automated driving, several factors can affect the driver’s situation awareness and ability to take over control. To better understand the influence of some of these factors, 88 participants spent 20 minutes in a conditionally automated driving simulator. They had to react to four obstacles that varied in danger and movement. Half of the participants were required to engage in a verbal cognitive non-driving-related task. Situation awareness, takeover performance and physiological responses were measured for each situation. The results suggest that obstacle movement influences obstacle danger perception, situation awareness, and response time, while the latter is also influenced by obstacle danger. The cognitive verbal task also had an effect on the takeover response time. These results imply that the driver’s cognitive state and the driving situation (e.g. the movement/danger of entities present around the vehicle) must be considered when conveying information to drivers through in-vehicle interfaces.

description: Ärzte benötigen es gleichermaßen wie Manager: Eine gute Einschätzung der Sicherheit, mit der sie Entscheidungen und Vorhersagen treffen. Das Maß dieser Sicherheit, geläufig als Confidence Calibration, hat in vielen Forschungsdomänen Bedeutung und eine lange Vergangenheit und trotzdem weist die Literatur Lücken auf. So werden zwei häufig verwendete Methoden zur Erfassung der subjektiven qualitativen Beurteilung einer Einschätzung in der Literatur unterschiedlich überlegen beschrieben. Die vorliegende Studie stellt die Hypothese auf, dass die Half-Range Methode (50-100) der Full-Range Methode (0-100) überlegen ist und stellt darüber hinaus eine neue verbesserte Methode vor. In einer experimentellen Studie mit 232 Teilnehmer*innen wurden alle drei Methoden mit Allgemeinwissensfragen (mit je zwei Antwortoptionen und einer erzwungenen Entscheidung) getestet und Brier Scores als Schätzgütemaße berechnet. Die Analyse der Daten bestätigt die Überlegenheit der Half-Range Methode, um genauere Kalibrierung von tatsächlichem Wissen und dessen Einschätzung zu erreichen. Für die neuentwickelte Messmethode konnte keine Verbesserung oder Überlegenheit in der Kalibrierungsgenauigkeit festgestellt werden. Die Studie schließt mit einer kritischen Diskussion der Ergebnisse ab und schlägt mögliche zukünftige Forschungsrichtungen vor.
description: Doctors need it just as well as business managers: Confidence calibration, the measure of certainty with which a judgement has been made. Confidence calibration methods are used to hone forecasts, identify correct medical treatments and elicit expert decisions. The topic is reported to have implications in most fields of research and areas of everyday life, yet the body of research on measurement methods of confidence calibration accuracy shows inconsistent results. The traditional half-range method (50-100) and the full-range method (0-100), distinct by the range of their applied scale and commonly applied in two-alternative tasks, have each been reported superior to the other. This study proposed the half-range method to be superior, thus yielding more accurate calibration. Furthermore, a novel alteration of the traditional methods is developed with the intent to improve calibration accuracy: the dual-opposite (100-50-100) method. In an experimental study with 232 participants, all three confidence judgment methods were tested using two-alternative forced-choice general knowledge questions, and Brier scores were calculated for each method. The analysis confirmed the superiority of the half-range method, though the novel method did not improve nor worsen calibration accuracy. This study concludes with a critical discussion of the findings and offers suggestions for future research directions.

description: Findings about the relation between musculoskeletal injuries and training patterns in orienteering athletes are sparse. Therefore, the musculoskeletal injuries and training patterns of 31 Swiss elite orienteering athletes aged 18-19 years were analyzed in a retrospective study. Individual training diaries and medical records were used to assess training data and injury history, respectively. Group comparisons and a multiple linear regression (MLR) were performed for statistical analysis. The junior elite orienteering athletes performed 7.38 ± 2.00 training sessions weekly, with a total duration of 455.75 ± 98.22 minutes. An injury incidence rate (IIR) of 2.18 ± 2.13 injuries per 1000 hours of training was observed. The lower extremity was affected in 93% of all injuries, and the knee (33%) was the most commonly injured location. The MLR revealed that gender and six training variables explained 60% of the variance in the injury severity index in this study. Supported by the low IIR in the observed age group, the training protocol of the junior elite orienteering athletes was generally adequate. In comparison to elite track, marathon, and orienteering athletes, the junior elite athletes performed less high-intensity interval training (HIIT). However, more frequent HIIT seems to be a protective factor against injuries.

description: Marginal differences in race results between top swimmers have evoked the interest in competition-based success factors of long-term athlete development. To identify novel factors for the multi-dimensional model of talent development, the aim of the study was to investigate annual variation in competition performance (ACV), number of races per year, and age. Therefore, 45,398 race results of all male participants (n = 353) competing in individual events, i.e., butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, freestyle, and individual medley, at the 2018 European Long-Course Swimming Championships (2018EC) were analyzed retrospectively for all 10 years prior to the championships with Pearson's correlation coefficient and multiple linear regression analysis. Higher ranked swimmers at the 2018EC showed significant medium correlations with a greater number of races per year and small but significant correlations with higher ACV in 10 and nine consecutive years, respectively, prior to the championships. Additionally, better swimmers were older than their lower ranked peers (r = −0.21, p < 0.001). Regression model explained a significant proportion of 2018EC ranking for 50 m (47%), 100 m (45%), 200 m (31%), and 400 m races (29%) but not for 800 and 1,500 m races with number of races having the largest effect followed by age and ACV. In conclusion, higher performance variation with results off the personal best in some races did not impair success at the season's main event and young competitors at international championships may benefit from success chances that increase with age. The higher number of races swum per year throughout the career of higher ranked swimmers may have provided learning opportunities and specific adaptations. Future studies should quantify these success factors in a multi-dimensional talent development model.

Being a poor farmer in a wealthy country: A Swiss case study

Year: 2019

description: Many Swiss farming families face socioeconomic disadvantage despite Switzerland being a wealthy country with instruments of agricultural policy financially supporting almost all farmers. However, official poverty statistics exclude Swiss farmers and scientific knowledge is rare about how such situations are experienced. This article scrutinises the situation of Swiss farming families living in poverty or material deprivation by intertwining qualitative and quantitative methods to enrich both types of data and interpretations. By statistically comparing farmers with the self‐employed in other economic sectors, it uses a novel way of comparing the farming with the non‐farming population. The article shows that the poverty among farmers resembles that of the self‐employed with no or few employees in other economic sectors and describes the lived experiences of poverty and material deprivation. It concludes that adaptive preferences make farming families resilient to socioeconomic disadvantage, while possibly leading to a loss of their livelihood in the long run.

The genus Picalgoides Černý, 1974 comprises ten species associated mainly with birds of the order Piciformes (Indicatoridae, Picidae and Rhamphastidae) (see Buchholz 1869; Trouessart 1885; Stoll 1893; Černý 1974; Gaud 1988). Only three species are associated with birds of the order Passeriformes: P. glandarii (Buchholz, 1869) and P. megalixus (Trouessart, 1885) occur on birds of the family Corvidae, and P. giganteus Mironov et al. 2011 was recently described from Sclerurus mexicanus Sclater (Funariidae) (see Buchholz 1869; Trouessart 1885; Mironov et al. 2011).

Introduction to AAWM Music and Nature – Volume 1: On the analysis of yodeling traditions
Creators: name: Wey, Yannick
Publisher: name: International Foundation for the Theory and Analysis of World Musics
Year: 2021

description: In this first issue of AAWM Music and Nature, we present analytical studies of yodeling, focusing on aspects such as timbre, terminology, acoustics, and musical forms in various cultures. Yodel is a way of singing characterized by changes between chest voice and head voice, and a vocalization using syllables without lexical meanings. This technique is used in many kinds of music with manifestations specific to cultures, regions, and traditions, yet sharing sonic properties. In recent years since Plantenga’s Secret History of Yodeling Around the World (2002), yodeling has gained traction in ethnomusicological research (Hahmann 2017, Ammann et al. 2019, Wey 2019), yet a comprehensive adaptation of analytical methods to this phenomenon remains. With the special issue on yodel, we aim to bring together expertise from ethnomusicological, music-theoretical, and analytical perspectives to complete the framework.

description: In countries similar to Austria, bridges fail due to debris-flow impact on a regular basis. As there is a large uncertainty in terms of the acting forces during these events, this study examines debris-flow impact forces on bridge superstructures. We first set up an idealized load pattern for the load case of debris-flow impact on a bridge superstructure. Second, we conducted 60 experiments in a small-scale physical model (scale 1:30), where we measured debris-flow impact forces on six different bridge profiles in the presence and absence of a bridge pier with two 3-axis force sensors installed at the bridge abutments. Our findings indicate that there is an influence of the superstructure profiles on the magnitude of the effective frontal debrisflow impact force while the presence or absence of a bridge pier affects the direction of the effective frontal impact force, but not necessarily its magnitude. Our results also indicate that the effective frontal impact force acts mainly in the horizontal direction as the vertical proportion is mostly <10%. We found that the forces that act on bridge superstructures are on average between one- and three-fifths of the peak debris-flow force. Our findings can contribute to a better design of bridges against debris-flow impact in the future.

description: In conversation with Hanna Hölling, Emilie Magnin, and Valerian Maly, Eléonore Hellio and Michel Ekeba of the collective Kongo Astronauts discuss the origins, ongoing evolution, and potential futures of their multifaceted artistic practice. They explain the circumstances that first brought Hellio, who was born in Paris, to Kinshasa, and relate Ekeba’s first experiments with wearing an astronaut costume that he made of discarded electronics purchased at market. Conservation is figured partly in terms of the astronaut costumes, which are constantly changing through cycles of use and repair, but which also have the potential to be purchased as artworks and conserved as static museum objects. Hellio and Ekeba also discuss the films and photographs they produce, which both propagate and disseminate the live performances that take place in Kinshasa. Finally, conservation is also understood in the collaborative, social practices of Kongo Astronauts, which are taken up, reconfigured, and renewed by the various artists who pass through the collective. Ekeba and Hellio also relate the performative and ritual aspects of their work to traditional Congolese practices that were suppressed by colonial authorities.

Learning in hybrid classes: the role of off-task activities

Publisher: name: Springer
Year: 2024

description: Hybrid teaching (synchronous online and on-site teaching) offers many advantages (e.g., increased flexibility). However, previous research has suggested that students who join classes online suffer higher levels of distractibility, which might translate into students engaging in more off-task activities. This, in turn, can impair students’ learning performance. The following quasi-experimental field study investigated this specific link between teaching mode, engagement in off-task activities, and learning performance. We collected survey data from N = 690 students in six hybrid classes (N = 254 online, N = 436 on-site). Participants reported the amount of time they spent engaging in digital and non-digital off-task activities and responded to a quiz on the course material. Results revealed that online students spent more time engaging in off-task activities than on-site students. Further, results were consistent with our hypothesis that joining the class online is associated with lower learning performance via time spent on digital off-task activities.
A novel Model for the Mechanism of Laser-Induced Back Side Wet Etching in Aqueous Cu Solutions using ns Pulses at 1064nm

description: Laser induced back side wet etching has shown to be a promising tool for the micro-structuring of transparent materials. Detailed studies have been performed using UV excimer laser sources, aromatic hydrocarbon and liquid metal absorbers. Only little work is reported however using aqueous Cu solutions as absorbers and ns laser pulses at 1064 nm wavelength. We present a novel model for this specific setup. Our experiments indicate that physisorbed Cu2+ ions at the polar glass surface absorb the laser light. This leads to local thermal stresses in the glass and subsequent micro-ablation.

description: This paper investigates the impact of energy policies on the export performance of firms. There has been a long policy debate on potentially negative impacts of cost-increasing energy policies on international competitiveness. We use firm-level data from three countries with similar industry structure but different energy policies: Germany, Switzerland, and Austria. We rely on firm manager assessments on the relevance of energy policy (in terms of taxes, regulations, standards, subsidies and demand stimulation) for their firm operation and link data on adoption and development of new energy technologies. Regression analyses and matching approaches both show very few impacts of energy policy on export performance, suggesting that either policy impacts on firms’ cost are negligible in the period of study 2012–2014) or likely negative impacts are balanced by the adoption of new technology.

Art Objects As Documents and the Distributed Identity of Contemporary Artworks
Creators: name: Wielocha, Aga
Publisher: name: Archetype Publications
Year: 2021

description: This paper examines the distinct function performed by objects in contemporary artworks, and draws attention to various non-object-based means by which artworks can be revealed to viewers. The discussion takes as its starting point the idea of contemporary art as a new paradigm of artistic practice, along with the concept of the art project, and the notion of the document as proposed by French documentalist Susanne Briet. These ideas will be examined through a piece by Danh Vo, which, despite unfolding around three physical artefacts, only becomes legible in light of stories the artist has communicated through means such as interviews and catalogues. As the identity of a contemporary artwork is distributed across the various objects, processes, concepts and contexts that shape it throughout its career, and because of its potential media variability, I argue that the information conveyed through other channels of communication might be equally important for the integrity of artworks as the art objects proper. Accordingly, this paper suggests that in contemporary art, the art objects themselves can be seen as documents on equal footing with other artwork-related documentation, and in consequence proposes to shift the significance, value, and therefore status of artwork-related documentation within the artwork understood as a collectible.
