title: Bedingungen für eine erfolgreiche Sprachförderung im Rahmen der Deutschförderklassen
Creators: name: Eisl, Maren
Year: 2022

description: Mit dem Schuljahr 2018/2019 wurde unter der damaligen ÖVP-FPÖ Koalition der österreichischen Bundesregierung das neue Sprachfördermodell der Deutschförderklassen und -kurse eingeführt. Das Modell erhielt enorme mediale Aufmerksamkeit und stieß schnell auf Kritik von Expert*innen aus der Sprach- und Bildungswissenschaft, der Deutsch als Zweit- und Mehrsprachendidaktik, sowie von Schulleiter*innen und Lehrer*innen. Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht, auf welche Art und Weise die Deutschförderklassen an verschiedenen Wiener Volksschulen umgesetzt werden. Es wurden die Erfahrungen und Meinungen von sechs Lehrerinnen zu den Maßnahmen und Rahmenbedingungen ihrer Schulstandorte befragt. Die Pädagoginnen gaben Einblick darüber, welche Ressourcen ihrer Meinung nach notwendig sind, um eine gelungene Sprachförderung im Rahmen der Deutschförderklassen und -kurse zu ermöglichen.
Mixmaster Revisited: Wormhole Solutions to the Bianchi IX Wheeler-DeWitt Equation using the Euclidean-Signature Semi-Classical Method
Creators: name: Bae, Joseph H.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A modified semi-classical method is used to construct both ground and excited state solutions to the canonically quantized vacuum Bianchi IX (Mixmaster) cosmological models. Employing a modified form of the semi-classical Ansatz we solve the relevant Wheeler-DeWitt equation asymptotically by integrating a set of linear transport equations along the flow of a suitably chosen solution to the corresponding Euclidean-signature Hamilton-Jacobi equation. For the Moncrief-Ryan (or `wormhole') Hamilton-Jacobi solution, we compute the ground state quantum correction term associated with operator ordering ambiguities and show how higher order correction terms can be computed. We also determine the explicit, leading order forms of a family of excited states and show how to compute their quantum corrections as smooth, globally defined functions on the Bianchi IX minisuperspace. These excited-state solutions are peaked away from the minisuperspace origin and are labeled by a pair of positive integers that can be plausibly interpreted as graviton excitation numbers for the two independent anisotropy degrees of freedom. The modified semi-classical method used here is applicable to more general models, representing a significant progress in the Wheeler-DeWitt approach to quantum gravity.

From Teacher-Centred Instruction to Peer Tutoring in the Heterogeneous International Classroom: A Danish Case of Instructional Change

Publisher: name: JSSE - Journal of Social Science Education
Year: 2014

description: This case study documents a seminar redesign from a teacher-centered instruction format to the collaborative ‘reciprocal peer tutoring’ (RPT) at Aarhus University, Denmark. Departing from Bourdieuian concepts and the notion of “superdiversity” by Vertovec, we argue that teachers have to meet student requirements within Danish Higher Education (HE). This student body is quite diverse, international and multilinguistic with different cultural expectations and knowledge standards.At the same time, the Danish HE tradition with its low degree of formality and an affinity towards collaborative learning, allows for non-traditional instruction styles as an answer to such heterogeneity. The object of our documentation is thus a seminar before and after didactical restructuring in a Danish setting. We document both the in-classroom methods of instruction before and after the implementation of RPT and the methods and instruments used to monitor this change. For this, we provide insight into student group reports, students’ learning reports, a lesson time table, seminar evaluations, focus group interviews, teacher-student communication and course descriptions. Our study contributes on several levels: firstly, we provide course responsibles with a detailed insight into how a seminar redesign to RPT can be achieved. Secondly, we provide a basis for introducing such change by documenting the positive assessment as an outcome of the monitoring. We thereby address diversity and in-classroom heterogeneity on a didactical level.

description: The capability of controlling the deposition of layers of suitable materials with nanometric precision has allowed the realization of laser devices called quantum cascade lasers (QCL), which are able to operate in the terahertz (THz) region conventionally defined as the region of the electromagnetic spectrum with a wavelength between 30 μm and 1000 μm. This wavelength region is of considerable interest in various fields, from telecommunications to molecular spectroscopy. In this thesis work, we have presented QCL for THz emission, focusing in particular on their designs, and the main applications of T-rays for biomedical imaging and for the detection of explosive substances due to their characteristics of being non-ionizing and low-power radiation sources.

description: Research has shown that teaching gender theories tends to be an educational challenge and elicits student resistance. However, little is known about students’ learning processes in social science. This study aims to explore these learning processes by drawing on feminist pedagogy and conceptual change theory. The results show that when students are asked to perform analysis from a structural gender perspective, they recurrently introduce other explanatory frameworks based on non-structural understandings. The students’ learning processes involve reformulating questions and making interpretations based on liberal understandings of power, freedom of choice and equality. We argue that this process is due to the hegemonic position of the liberal paradigm as well as to the dominant ideas about science. Clarifying the underlying presumptions of a liberal perspective and a structural perspective may help students to recognise applied premises and enable them to distinguish relevant explanations.

description: Computing the equilibrium properties of complex systems, such as free energy differences, is often hampered by rare events in the dynamics. Enhanced sampling methods may be used in order to speed up sampling by, for example, using high temperatures, as in parallel tempering, or simulating with a biasing potential such as in the case of umbrella sampling. The equilibrium properties of the thermodynamic state of interest (e.g., lowest temperature or unbiased potential) can be computed using reweighting estimators such as the weighted histogram analysis method or the multistate Bennett acceptance ratio (MBAR). weighted histogram analysis method and MBAR produce unbiased estimates, the simulation samples from the global equilibria at their respective thermodynamic state--a requirement that can be prohibitively expensive for some simulations such as a large parallel tempering ensemble of an explicitly solvated biomolecule. Here, we introduce the transition-based reweighting analysis method (TRAM)--a class of estimators that exploit ideas from Markov modeling and only require the simulation data to be in local equilibrium within subsets of the configuration space. We formulate the expanded TRAM (xTRAM) estimator that is shown to be asymptotically unbiased and a generalization of MBAR. Using four exemplary systems of varying complexity, we demonstrate the improved convergence (ranging from a twofold improvement to several orders of magnitude) of xTRAM in comparison to a direct counting estimator and MBAR, with respect to the invested simulation effort. Lastly, we introduce a random-swapping simulation protocol that can be used with xTRAM, gaining orders-of-magnitude advantages over simulation protocols that require the constraint of sampling from a global equilibrium.

description: Air turns into a nonlinear medium for electromagnetic waves under exceptionally strong fields. However up to present, its minuscule nonlinear response has limited the exploration to the optical frequency regime owing to the availability of intense near-infrared lasers. Here, we report on the observation of large-amplitude nonlinearity in air induced by an extremely intense light bullet at Terahertz frequencies (0.1-10 THz) provoking strong air birefringence. The observed nonlinearity manifests itself as third order susceptibility. The presented nonlinear observations break the barrier for the entire exciting THz-induced nonlinear phenomena in air ranging from THz-induced self-focusing and self-phase modulation to THz solitons and filamentation.

description: The appearance of traffic jams on chains with a shunted section between two simple chain segments in the maximum current phase is studied in the framework of the Totally Asymmetric Simple Exclusion Process. The conditions for the occurrence of this phenomenon are investigated both within the effective rates approximation and numerically for arbitrary length of the shortcut. The problem is interesting on its own because the conditions for coexistence of low- and high density phases are essentially different from those for a simple chain between two reservoirs. Our main results are: (1) For any values of the external rates in the domain of the maximum current phase, there exists a position of the shortcut where the shunted segment is in a phase of coexistence with a completely delocalized domain wall; (2) The main features of the coexistence phase and the density profiles in the whole network are well described by the domain wall theory. Apart from the negligible inter-chain correlations, they depend only on the current through the shortcut; (3) The model displays an unexpected feature: the current through the longer shunted segment is larger than the current through the shortcut; (4) From the viewpoint of vehicular traffic, most comfortable conditions for the drivers are provided when the shortcut is shifted downstream from the position of coexistence, when both the shunted segment and the shortcut exhibit low-density lamellar flow. Most unfavorable is the opposite case of upstream shifted shortcut, when both the shunted segment and the shortcut are in a high-density phase describing congested traffic of slowly moving cars. The above results are relevant also to phenomena like crowding of molecular motors moving along twisted protofilaments.

Year: 2014

description: As Brazil prepares to host the 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Olympic Games, the municipal government of its second-largest city, Rio de Janeiro, seeks to establish infrastructure and security for the hundreds of thousands of expected tourists. To that end, the city is undertaking urban development projects and a novel policing strategy called “pacification” in several of the city’s favelas, the informal settlements that house roughly 22 percent of Rio’s population (Hurrell 2011). This paper analyzes the role of social service provision in ensuring the success of both urban redevelopment projects and crime control strategies in the favelas.

The relaxation rate shows pronounced peaks as function of magnetic field and chemical potential due to van Hove singularities in the Rashba bands. As a result, the regimes of weak and strong SOIs can be distinguished by the number of peaks in the rate. The relaxation rate increases with increasing magnetic field if both Rashba subbands are occupied, whereas it decreases if only the lowest one is occupied.

description: This paper reports on a European project, the Comenius ECLIPSE project (European Citizenship Learning in a Programme for Secondary Education) developed by six European partners coordinated by the University of Trento in the years 2011-2014. ECLIPSE (co-financed by the EACEA - Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency) aims at developing, testing, and implementing a Programme of European Citizenship, in order to improve citizenship competence and responsibility and to strengthen the sense of belonging and European identity of 8th grade pupils. These goals are reachable thanks to a number of measures in formal, non-formal and informal fields. The project partners created teaching and monitoring tools for pupils: seven ECMs (European Citizenship Modules), knowledge tests, pupils’ portfolio, and suggestions for teachers, especially a portfolio for ECLIPSE educators. The ECLIPSE teaching/ testing materials were implemented in several schools of the partner’s countries in order to make sure that it is useful for European pupils of different school systems. It can be used in a flexible way keeping in mind different learning needs in each school system, with a view to improving transversal competencies like learning to learn, as well as initiative and active involvement in improving the chances for young people in citizenship and work worlds. Dieses Papier beschreibt ein europäisches Projekt: das Comenius Projekt ECLIPSE (European Citizenship Learning in einem Programm für Secondary Education), das von sechs europäischen Partnern entwickelt und von der Universität Trient in den Jahren 2011-2014 koordiniert wurde.

description: Studierende können in bestimmten Lehrveranstaltungen an einem Tutorium teilnehmen, das sie bei der Erreichung der notwendigen Ziele unterstützt. Wenn die Universität aufgrund einer Pandemie nur eine Distanzlehre anbietet, wird die Planung und Abhaltung eines Tutoriums nochmals erschwert und es erfordert zusätzliche Änderungen im didaktischen Design. Die vorliegende Masterarbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Erstellung und Durchführung eines didaktisch aufbereiteten Tutoriums, welches als Teil der Lehrveranstaltung „Mensch-Computer-Interaktion“ an der Universität Wien abgehalten wurde. Das Tutorium dient als Unterstützung zum Erlernen des Cross-Platform Frameworks Flutter, das zur Entwicklung von Apps verwendet werden kann. In dieser Arbeit wird zu Beginn der theoretische Background beschrieben, der für die Erstellung des Tutoriums notwendig ist. Didaktische Richtlinien und Unterrichtsstrategien im Allgemeinen, und im Speziellen für die Fernlehre, als auch theoretische Grundlagen der Mensch-Computer-Interaktion und des Cross-Platform Framekworks Flutter dienen als Grundlage für das Forschungsprojekt. Um die Forschungsfrage zu beantworten, wurde ein Tutorium didaktisch aufbereitet und erprobt. Zur Ergebnissicherung wurde ein, von den an der Lehrveranstaltung teilnehmenden Studierenden ausgefüllter, quantitativ-qualitativer Fragebogen, ausgewertet. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass das zusätzlich angebotene Tutorium einen Mehrwert für die Studierenden bietet, und sich dieses Tutorium in weiterer Folge positiv auf ihre Kompetenzentwicklung auswirkte.
Measurement of the top-quark mass in the fully hadronic decay channel from ATLAS data at $\sqrt{s}=7$ TeV
Creators: name: ATLAS Collaboration

Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)

description: The mass of the top quark is measured in a data set corresponding to 4.6 fb$^{-1}$ of proton-proton collisions with centre-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s}=7$ TeV collected by the ATLAS detector at the LHC. Events consistent with hadronic decays of top-antitop quark pairs with at least six jets in the final state are selected. The substantial background from multijetproduction is modelled with data-driven methods that utilise the number of identified $b$-quark jets and the transverse momentum of the sixth leading jet,which have minimal correlation. The top-quark mass is obtained from template fits to the ratio of three-jet to dijet mass. The three-jet mass is calculated from the three jets produced in a top-quark decay. Using these three jets the dijet mass is obtained from the two jets produced in the $W$ boson decay. The top-quark mass obtained from this fit is thus less sensitive to the uncertainty in the energy measurement of the jets. A binned likelihood fit yields a top-quark mass of $m_{t} = 175.1 \pm 1.4$ (stat) $\pm 1.2$ (syst) GeV.

Collective profile of questionable publishing
Creators: name: Taekho You
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: In this paper, we quantitatively gauge the collective profile of questionable publishing with massive citation and publication data. The citation source reveals the self-favorable citation within the publisher that increase its academic impact. The country of questionable publications shows that large amount of questionable publications are produced by authors in academic center. Moreover, the distribution of country’s publications in the journal reveal that only a small amount of questionable journals are dominated by a single country, and authors in diverse countries publish in large amount of questionable journals. This study of massive trend provides the warning of questionable journals that a small case study may omit. The results show the overall trend of questionable publishing, but not highlight the individual behavior of predatory journals. For instance, our study reveal that the dominance of one country arose in a small number of journals but these questionable behavior should not be omitted. Constructing the comparive journals will provide a sophistigated comparison but may contains potentially questionable journals. Also, additional analysis with other massive dataset and lists will provide a more information on dynamics of questionable publishing. Questionable publishing has become an increasing problem in academia. The publication trajectory clearly reveal that more and more publications are produced by questionable publishing system, not only for the authors in low GDP countries, but also for authors in high GDP countries. Under the suspicion of unqualified publications from their poor peer review, the incremental of questionable publishing should be aware. Moreover, the high citation exchange in questionable journals makes the journals seem legitimate comprised with the authority. More sophisticated study to reveal their mechanism on how they survive from indexing services is left for a further study.
The origins of macroscopic quantum coherence in high temperature super conductivity
Creators: name: Turner, Philip
name: Nottale, Laurent
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Superconductivity (cond-mat.supr-con)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A new, theoretical approach to macroscopic quantum coherence and superconductivity in the p-type (hole doped) cuprates is proposed. The theory includes mechanisms to account for e-pair coupling in the superconducting and pseudogap phases and their inter relations observed in these materials. Electron pair coupling in the superconducting phase is facilitated by local quantum potentials created by static dopants in a mechanism which explains experimentally observed optimal doping levels and the associated peak in critical temperature. By contrast, evidence suggests that electrons contributing to the pseudogap are predominantly coupled by fractal spin waves (fractons) induced by the fractal arrangement of dopants. On another level, the theory offers new insights into the emergence of a macroscopic quantum potential generated by a fractal distribution of dopants. This, in turn, leads to the emergence of coherent, macroscopic spin waves and a second associated macroscopic quantum potential, possibly supported by charge order. These quantum potentials play two key roles. The first involves the transition of an expected diffusive process (normally associated with Anderson localization) in fractal networks, into e-pair coherence. The second involves the facilitation of tunnelling between localized e-pairs. These combined effects lead to the merger of the super conducting and pseudo gap phases into a single coherent condensate at optimal doping. The underlying theory relating to the diffusion to quantum transition is supported by Coherent Random Lasing, which can be explained using an analogous approach. As a final step, an experimental program is outlined to validate the theory and suggests a new approach to increase the stability of electron pair condensates at higher temperatures.

Die Ergebnisse der Arbeit zeigten, dass die analysierte Landesverwaltung mittels Intranet, themenspezifischen Newslettern, der Mitarbeiter:innenzeitung sowie über E- Mail mit den Mitarbeitenden im Home Office kommuniziert. Die Analyse der internen Kommunikation und Mitarbeiter:innenzufriedenheit, zeigte einen bedeutenden Zusammenhang. Eine offene und zielgerichtete Kommunikation führt bei den Mitarbeitenden zu mehr Engagement und Zufriedenheit. Im Bereich der zwischenmenschlichen Kommunikation konnten negative Effekte in Form eines veränderten Kommunikationsverhaltens- sowie Verständnis festgestellt werden.
description: The Covid 19 pandemic and the associated digitalization are changing the world of work. In connection with this, internal communication is also facing an unpredictable challenge. The aim of this study was to analyze the internal communication of home office employees in an Austrian State administration. The focus was on three research questions, which dealt with the internal communication of the provincial administration, the connection between internal communication and employee satisfaction, and the effects of internal communication on interpersonal communication. To answer these research questions, ten qualitative guided interviews with home office employees were guided. Within the framework of a structured content analysis, the statements were analyzed and presented using a system of categories. The interviews were conducted online via the platform Zoom. The results of the work showed, that the analyzed State administration communicates with home office employees via intranet, topic-focused newsletters, the employee internal newspaper as well as via e-mail. The analysis of internal communication and employee satisfaction showed a significant correlation. Open and targeted communication leads to greater commitment and satisfaction among employees. In the area of interpersonal communication, negative effects in the form of a change in communication behavior and understanding could be determined.
The Effects of the Economic Crisis on Inter-Ethnic Relations in Cypriot Schools

description: The aim of the paper is to examine the effects of the current economic crisis in the way teenagers experience and report interethnic relations with emphasis on interethnic violence in the school environment in Cyprus. It will report findings from an EU funded project which was recently completed (2012) titled: “Children’s voices: Exploring interethnic violence in schools”. Through an eclectic analysis on interview transcripts from group interviews with teenagers (16-17 year old) it emerges that in Cyprus there is an environment of growing concern about the presence of migrants in society and this has direct and indirect effects on education. Overall there are mixed perceptions about interethnic tolerance in schools ranging from negative to (politically correct) positive ones. While the prevalent discourse of multiculturalism in Cyprus uses the rhetoric of integration, what appears to be happening in the Cypriot educational system, is assimilation practices focusing on language acquisition. The findings of the empirical investigation point to interesting directions for educational policy regarding the whole gamut of interethnic relations in Cyprus at a period in time when the current economic crisis appears to have largely negative effects on multiculturalism. The paper concludes with a discussion on the way the Ministry of Education and schools in Cyprus respond to the above challenges and the prospects for the near future.

title: Bauhaus und Architektur der Wiener Moderne
Creators: name: Hein, Wolfgang
Year: 2022

description: Zur Beantwortung der Frage, warum in der Architektur der Zwischenkriegszeit in Wien keine deutlichen Spuren des berühmten Bauhauses zu finden sind, wurden Prinzipien und Bauten der Bauhausarchitektur jenen der zeitgenössischen Wiener Architektur gegenübergestellt. Zu erklären ist das Fehlen direkter Einflüsse des Bauhauses auf das Baugeschehen in Wien mit den grundsätzlich unterschiedlichen theoretischen und ideologischen Prinzipien in den beiden Architekturschulen. Dem zugrunde liegen voneinander abweichende Geisteshaltungen und gesellschaftspolitische Einstellungen der jeweiligen Architekten. Während für die meisten Wiener Architekten eine humanistische und soziale Geisteshaltung die Grundlage ihrer Arbeit bildete, waren am Bauhaus Maschinenästhetik, Funktionalismus, Rationalisierung und Normierung die Leitlinien der künstlerischen Tätigkeit. Stand in Wien die Freiheit zu individueller Entwicklung des Einzelnen im Mittelpunkt, wurde am Bauhaus nach kollektiven Lösungen zur gesellschaftlichen Weiterentwicklung gesucht. Die Bauhausarchitektur wurde in Wien weder als Vorbild anerkannt noch fand sie bei den Wiener Architekten überhaupt größere Beachtung. Das liegt neben den unterschiedlichen Grundhaltungen auch daran, dass die Wiener Architektur eine starke, eigenständige und selbstbewusste Position in der internationalen Architekturentwicklung der Zwischenkriegszeit einnahm. Sie baute auf ihrer durchaus renommierten Tradition auf und war für die wesentlichen internationalen Entwicklungen offen, die Bedeutung der Bauhausarchitektur jedoch wurde von den Wiener Architekten realistischer eingeschätzt als von der Öffentlichkeit, die seit Gropius‘ Zeiten von der Bauhaus-PR-Maschinerie beeinflusst wurde und wird. Es kann daher als Beleg für das Selbstbewusstsein der Wiener Architekten der Wiener Moderne gewertet werden, dass sie sich mit den Prinzipien, die am Bauhaus vertreten wurden, zwar kritisch auseinandersetzten, die Bauhausarchitektur als Stilphänomen aber weitgehend ignorierten.

description: The physics of many materials is modeled by quantum many-body systems with local interactions. If the model of the system is sensitive to noise from the environment, or small perturbations to the original interactions, it will not properly model the robustness of the real physical system it aims to describe, or be useful when engineering novel systems for quantum information processing. We show that local observables and correlation functions of local Liouvillians are stable to local perturbations if the dynamics is rapidly mixing and has a unique fixed point. No other condition is required.

description: In this paper we shall consider the problem of deploying attention to subsets of the video streams for collating the most relevant data and information of interest related to a given task. We formalize this monitoring problem as a foraging problem. We propose a probabilistic framework to model observer's attentive behavior as the behavior of a forager. The forager, moment to moment, focuses its attention on the most informative stream/camera, detects interesting objects or activities, or switches to a more profitable stream. The approach proposed here is suitable to be exploited for multi-stream video summarization. Meanwhile, it can serve as a preliminary step for more sophisticated video surveillance, e.g. activity and behavior analysis. Experimental results achieved on the UCR Videoweb Activities Dataset, a publicly available dataset, are presented to illustrate the utility of the proposed technique.

description: The investigation is about which ideas ninth form students at grammar schools and secondary modern schools have about globalisation. It shall be investigated if the perception of and judgement on globalisation-connected contexts happens along social structure-specific patterns. At first, by way of a questionnaire, the field of ideas is supposed to be broadly recorded, a selection of interview partners based on the results of the questionnaire aims at a deeper analysis of the students´ ideas. Knowledge of these subjective preconditions for learning, as far as the topic of globalisation is concerned, is supposed to provide empirically-grounded hints for what curricula in the political-economic field of learning might look like. Apart from the education-political background, also the methodical outline of the investigation is described. This is followed by a presentation of the results of the analysis of the questionnaire.

Universal post-quench prethermalization at a quantum critical point

description: We consider an open system near a quantum critical point that is suddenly moved towards the critical point. The bath-dominated diffusive non-equilibrium dynamics after the quench is shown to follow scaling behavior, governed by a critical exponent that emerges in addition to the known equilibrium critical exponents. We determine this exponent and show that it describes universal prethermalized coarsening dynamics of the order parameter in an intermediate time regime. Implications of this quantum critical prethermalization are a powerlaw rise of order and correlations after an initial collapse of the equilibrium state and a crossover to thermalization that occurs arbitrarily late for sufficiently shallow quenches.

description: Tokamak plasmas rotate even without external injection of momentum. A Doppler backscattering system installed at MAST has allowed this intrinsic rotation to be studied in Ohmic L-mode and H-mode plasmas, including the first observation of intrinsic rotation reversals in a spherical tokamak. Experimental results are compared to a novel 1D model, which captures the collisionality dependence of the radial transport of toroidal angular momentum due to the effect of neoclassical flows on turbulent fluctuations. The model is able to accurately reproduce the change in sign of core toroidal rotation, using experimental density and temperature profiles from shots with rotation reversals as inputs and no free parameters fit to experimental data.
The Resilience of Recently Graduated and Unemployed Dutch Academics in Coping with the Economic Crisis

description: Some years after the world-wide crisis starting in 2008, also many recently graduated Dutch academics were confronted with the problem of how to cope with getting a job. This article focuses on the coping strategies they use when searching after a job, spending the day, and coping with limited financial means. 91 graduated academics completed a survey and twelve more were interviewed. They exposed remarkable resilience in coping with their situation by using emotional and problem oriented coping strategies. Emotional oriented coping strategies resulted in the graduates being able to put their situation of being without a regular job into perspective, structuring their days rather easily, and being pleased with how they did it. Their problem oriented coping strategies showed willingness to look for a job outside their field of study and below an academic level. Some respondents were willing to do unpaid work to get enrolled in the job market. The rather constructive way of coping can be explained partly by their relatively favourable financial position, mostly due to their temporary or side jobs, which also gave them a way to spend their days. Thus, the recently graduated academic job seekers perceived their economic situation in a rather positive way. Whether this was influenced by their level of education should be an important subject for more research.

description: The hydrodynamic behaviour of perfect fluid orbiting around black holes in spherically symmetric spacetime for various alternative gravity theories has been investigated. For this purpose we have assumed an uniform distribution for the angular momentum density of the rotating perfect fluid. The contours of equipotential surfaces are illustrated in order to obtain the nature of inflow and outflow of matters. It has been noticed that, the marginally stable circular orbits originating from decreasing angular momentum density lead to closed equipotential surfaces along with cusp allowing existence of accretion disks. On the other hand, the growing part of angular momentum density exhibits central rings for which stable configurations are possible. However inflow of matter is prohibited. Among the solutions discussed in this work, the charged $F(R)$ gravity and Einstein-Maxwell-Gauss-Bonnet solution exhibit inflow and outflow of matter with central rings present. These varied accretion disk structure of perfect fluid attribute these spacetimes astrophysical importance. The effect of higher curvature terms predominantly arises from region near the black hole horizon. Hence the structural difference of accretion disk in modified gravity theories with comparison to general relativity may act as an experimental probe for these alternative gravity theories.
