title: Italienisch L2 als Brückensprache zu Englisch L3 an Südtirols Sekundarstufe
Creators: name: Mayr, Gisela
Publisher: name: Universitäts- und Landesbibliothek Darmstadt
Year: 2023

description: In der Region Südtirol ist Deutsch eine Minderheitensprache und für viele EinwohnerInnen ko-offizielle Sprache zusammen mit Italienisch und Ladinisch. Italienisch ist L2 für den Großteil der Lernenden, welche die deutschsprachigen Schulen besuchen. Gegenstand der vorliegenden Studie ist es, die Verwendung des Italienischen als Brückensprache für Englisch L3 sowohl bei Lehrkräften als auch bei Lernenden im deutschsprachigen Lernkontext zu untersuchen. Um einen besseren Überblick über das Phänomen zu gewinnen, wurden zwei Perspektiven analysiert: die Perspektive der Lehrkräfte und jene der Lernenden. Die qualitative Studie analysiert, ob, unter welchen Bedingungen und in welchem Ausmaß Lehrpersonen und Lernende Italienisch L2 als Brückensprache für Englisch L3 nutzen. Zudem wird aufgezeigt, welche die am häufigsten verwendeten Transferbasen sind.
One-dimensional classical diffusion in a random force field with weakly concentrated absorbers

Subjects: subject: Disordered Systems and Neural Networks (cond-mat.dis-nn)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A one-dimensional model of classical diffusion in a random force field with a weak concentration $ρ$ of absorbers is studied. The force field is taken as a Gaussian white noise with $\mean{ϕ(x)}=0$ and $\mean{ϕ(x)ϕ(x')}=g δ(x-x')$. Our analysis relies on the relation between the Fokker-Planck operator and a quantum Hamiltonian in which absorption leads to breaking of supersymmetry. Using a Lifshits argument, it is shown that the average return probability is a power law $\smean{P(x,t|x,0)}\sim{}t^{-\sqrt{2ρ/g}}$ (to be compared with the usual Lifshits exponential decay $\exp{-(ρ^2t)^{1/3}}$ in the absence of the random force field). The localisation properties of the underlying quantum Hamiltonian are discussed as well.

description: We study the phase transition between the high temperature Coulomb phase and the low temperature staggered crystal phase in three dimensional classical O(N) spin-ice model. Compared with the previously proposed CP(1) formalism on the Coulomb-crystal transition of the classical dimer model, our description based on constrained order parameter is more conventional, due to a fundamental difference between the O(N) and the dimer model. A systematic epsilon and 1/N expansion are used to study the universality class of the phase transition, and a stable fixed point is found based on our calculations for large enough N.

title: Promoting Development Through Play: A Migrant Head Start Parent-Child Enrichment Program
Creators: name: Mortensen, Dana K.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2000

description: This study was designed to assess the efficacy of an early intervention project focusing on early stimulating experiences through parent-child play interactions, and their impact on young migrant Latino children's mental, motor, social-emotional, and language development. An experimental group of 30 children from 26 families and a control group of 14 children from 14 families participated in this assessment. Dependent measures included the Bayley Scales of Infant Development and the Preschool Language Scale. Demographic data such as parent level of education, number of individuals living in the home, and family income were among the independent measures. Research hypotheses predicted the experimental group to score higher on posttest dependent measures as compared to the control group. Results did not support the research hypotheses. Although experimental group Mental Development Index (MDI) scores did increase in the predicted direction, this increase was not statistically significant. Further, two age groups within the control group also showed positive increases in MDI scores. Additionally, whenever significant differences were found on dependent measures, they were found in favor of the control group. The results may be interpreted in light of nonequivalent control groups as discussed in Chapter V.

description: In diesem Beitrag wird am Beispiel der deutschen Minderheit in Dänemark der Frage nachgegangen, wie sich aktuelle Tendenzen innerhalb der Sprachwissenschaft in konkreter sprachdidaktischer und sprachpädagogischer Praxis von Sprachlehrer*innen widerspiegeln. In der deutschen Minderheit hat die Mehrheit der Schüler*innen nicht die Unterrichtssprache (Deutsch) als Erstsprache. Die sprachliche Heterogenität der Schüler*innen stellt somit hohe Ansprüche an das sprachdidaktische Wissen und die Kompetenzen der Lehrer*innen. Der Beitrag zeigt, dass ein monolinguales Verhalten in der deutschen Minderheit nach wie vor gängig ist und dass eine mehrsprachigkeitsdidaktische Perspektive, bei der alle Sprachen der Schüler*innen als Ressource angesehen werden, kaum vorhanden ist.
On the spin wave spectrum of manganese fluoride at low temperatures
Creators: name: Tam, Wing Gay
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Inelastic neutron scattering measurements by Okazaki, Tuberfield, and Stevenson (1964) of the antiferromagnetic spin wave energy, spectrum in manganese fluoride crystal at low temperatures, agree with the results predicted by a dispersion relation introduced without proof in their paper. In this thesis the question is considered in detail to what extent this dispersion relation is justified. The interaction between the manganese ions is described by the Heisenberg exchange Hamiltonian. Following Holstein and Primakoff's formalism the spin deviation operators are introduced and the part of the Hamiltonian ℋ[superscript B] containing all the terms up to those bilinear in the spin deviation operators is diagonalised by means of the Anderson transformation. A correction is next obtained by retaining the diagonal part of those terms which are quadrilinear in the spin deviation operators. Under certain conditions it is shown that ℋ[superscript B] together with the correction term give rise to, a dispersion relation which is identical with that used by Okazaki et al. (1964). Finally the validity of the approximations is also discussed.
Library Support for Online Graduate Students in the Summer Session

description: Summer sessions are an excellent opportunity for graduate students, and have been increasing in popularity in recent years. However, many of these sessions are moving online. Online library databases can be challenging to navigate, and there is a lack of student-librarian interaction. This paper discusses the research on the problems that arise for online graduate students during summer sessions and presents best practices for digital library support for those students. These best practices include • online citation and reference management workshops, • online subject-specific library navigation and user guides, and • collaboration between library and teaching faculty. These practices will help eliminate students’ use of unreliable research resources and provide them with proper support. Library support for online graduate students during summer sessions is imperative and that it must be designed to meet specific student needs.

description: Using as a framework a paper titled “What Every President and Every Chief Academic Officer Should Know about College and University Summer Sessions”(based on a 1997 North American Association of Summer Sessions conference presentation by Ronald Wasserstein), we explore the extent to which research findings over the intervening 24 years support or question Wasserstein’s views. Topics include summer term organizational structures and administrative oversight, serving academic needs of students, instructional contributions and benefits of faculty, and the relationship of the summer term to the mission and goals of institutions. As well, we comment on Wasserstein’s arguments encouraging the alignment of the summer term with the rest of the academic year and recommending membership in professional associations to support the functions of nascent and established summer term offices. Finally, and understandably not part of Wasserstein’s discussion, we offer a perspective on the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic has affected and will affect the role of the summer term within universities and colleges.

Subjects: subject: Quantum Gases (cond-mat.quant-gas)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Quantum simulation is a highly ambitious program in cold atom research currently being pursued in laboratories worldwide. The goal is to use cold atoms in optical lattice to simulate models for unsolved strongly correlated systems, so as to deduce their properties directly from experimental data. An important step in this effort is to determine the temperature of the system, which is essential for deducing all thermodynamic functions. This step, however, remains difficult for lattice systems at the moment. Here, we propose a method based on a generalized fluctuation-dissipation theorem. It does not reply on numerical simulations and is a universal thermometry for all quantum gases systems including mixtures and spinor gases. It is also unaffected by photon shot noise.

description: Diese Studie untersucht anhand 254 Teilnehmerinnen und Teilnehmern (Mittelschule) die relative Wirksamkeit des bilingualen Sachfachlernens bei Jugendlichen mit geringen Englischkenntnissen und mehrsprachigem Hintergrund anhand des Themas Atmung. Das bereits vorhandene Wissen und die Motivation vor dem Treatment wurden in einem Prätest gemessen. Unmittelbar nach dem Unterricht wurde ein Posttest durchgeführt. Nach sechs Wochen erhob ein Follow-Up-Test eine mögliche langfristige Konsolidierung. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass weder Kenntnisse noch Motivation in Klassen mit relativ geringen Englischkenntnissen in der Gruppe, die auf Englisch unterrichtet wurde im Vergleich zu der, die auf Deutsch unterrichtet wurde, signifikant unterschiedlich waren, vorausgesetzt, dass speziell vorbereitete Lektionen verwendet wurden, um den Lernbedürfnissen der Schülerinnen und Schülern gerecht zu werden. Darüber hinaus wurde ein Zusammenhang zwischen Mehrsprachigkeit und positiven Auswirkungen auf Wissen und Motivation festgestellt.

description: The incidence of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is on the increase across the world. The purpose of this study was to explore young children's awareness, knowledge, and understanding of AIDS in Bahrain, in the Arabian Gulf region. This was done within the framework of Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development, which spans development across time. Ninety-nine children aged 6 through 12 were administered a standardized interview to ascertain their knowledge about AIDS, its causes, outcomes, and prevention. The study explored whether knowledge about AIDS was related to age, gender, and parental education. It also examined the sources of children's knowledge. Correlational analyses, 1 tests, and frequency distributions were used to explore the questions. Knowledge about AIDS was related to age and gender, with older children having more knowledge than younger children, and girls having more knowledge than boys. The media and teachers were the significant sources of information about AIDS for the children.

description: The nontrivial dispersion relation of a periodic medium affects both the spectral and the spatial distribution of Cherenkov radiation. We present a theory of the spatial distribution of Cherenkov radiation in the far-field zone inside arbitrary three- and two-dimensional dielectric media. Simple analytical expressions for the far-field are obtained in terms of the Bloch mode expansion. Numerical examples of the Cherenkov radiation in a two-dimensional photonic crystal is presented. The developed analytical theory demonstrates good agreement with numerically rigorous finite-difference time-domain calculations.

description: The field of marriage and family therapy (MFT) has prospered since its beginnings nearly 50 years ago. In order to keep the field current and competitive with other related professions, empirical research is necessary. Although there has been an upsurge of research on the effectiveness and specialty areas of MFT, one area has been overlooked: skills. The empirical research that has been performed has focused its attention on beginning therapists. The current research took the next step in determining family therapy skills and investigated the skills needed by intermediate-level therapists--not beginners, yet also not advanced therapists.
This research surveyed a panel of supervision experts in the MFT profession who work with intermediate-level therapists in order to determine the skills that intermediate-level therapists are the same skills thought to be important for beginning therapists, identified in previous research. Of the top 25 ranked items in the Basic Family Therapy Skills project that were rated in the current Intermediate Family Therapy Skills project, 22 of the items' means differed less than .25 in their ratings. Overall, most of the nominated items were rated between "very important" and "important". Implications for training and further research are discussed.

description: Dieses Forschungsreview fasst die aktuell vorliegenden Erkenntnisse zu den Themenfeldern Internationalisierung und Studierendenmobilität im Ausland für Lehramtsstudierende im Allgemeinen sowie angehende Fremdsprachenlehrkräfte im Besonderen zusammen. Das gemeinsame Ziel von Internationalisierung der Lehrer*innenbildung liegt im interkulturellen Lernen und der späteren Reflexion dieser Erfahrungen innerhalb der Berufsbiographie der (angehenden) Lehrerinnen und Lehrer. Auslandserfahrungen werden jedoch nicht selten aufgrund von Rahmenbedingungen (z.B. Strukturen an Hochschulen) und (auch individuellen) Mobilitätshemmnissen eingeschränkt. Betreuungs- und Begleitprogramme, wie sie an verschiedenen deutschen Hochschulen bereits eingesetzt werden, haben die Chance, diese Hemmnisse zu reduzieren. In der Gesamtschau der vorliegenden empirischen wie theoretischen Beiträge zeigen sich Erkenntnisse und Desiderate in der Erforschung von Internationalisierung im (fremdsprachlichen) Lehramtsstudium.

description: The problem of memory checking considers storing files on an unreliable public server whose memory can be modified by a malicious party. The main task is to design an online memory checker with the capability to verify that the information on the server has not been corrupted. To store n bits of public information, the memory checker has s private reliable bits for verification purpose; while to retrieve each bit of public information the checker communicates t bits with the public memory. Earlier work showed that, for classical memory checkers, the lower bound s*t \in Omega(n) holds. In this article we study quantum memory checkers that have s private qubits and that are allowed to quantum query the public memory using t qubits. We prove an exponential improvement over the classical setting by showing the existence of a quantum checker that, using quantum fingerprints, requires only s \in O(log n) qubits of local memory and t \in O(polylog n) qubits of communication with the public memory.

Experimental investigations of plasmas in electromagnetic shock tubes
Creators: name: Simpkinson, William Vaughan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The plasmas produced in electromagnetic shock tubes have previously been studied in this laboratory and elsewhere. In general the temperatures and electron densities deduced from time-resolved spectra emitted by the plasma do not agree with the values calculated from shock theory. Photographs taken with a Kerr cell shutter revealed that luminous discharge gases with a very irregular front were driven down the tube and that no separate shock front could be seen ahead. The plasma behind the luminous front consisted of a mixture of rest gas and a considerable amount (~50%) of impurity from the driving discharge. In the work reported here, further attempts were made to produce shock heated plasmas. Various electrode configurations were tried but no improvement was observed. Some measure of success was attained with an electrodeless driver on the shock tube. Kerr cell photographs showed that with argon in the tube a shock wave appeared to be formed ahead of the discharge plasma. The shock speed was much slower than the speed of the advancing luminous front in the tubes with electrodes. However, no shock wave could be observed with helium. With argon in the electrodeless tube radiation could be observed from the gas ahead of the shock wave. Time resolved spectroscopic measurements on this radiation allowed rough determination of electron density and of the population of excited states of argon atoms and ions ahead of the shock front. This "preheating" of the gas is presumably due to ultraviolet light emitted from the discharge and the shock plasma. The values of electron density and temperature expected behind the shock front were calculated from shock theory, taking into account the preheating of the gas. The expected values agreed well with the electron density and temperature determined from spectroscopic measurements on the shock plasma. The study of the precursor radiation was continued in a shock tube with electrodes. In this tube the driving discharge was more luminous and the excitation and ionization of helium and argon ahead of the luminous front could be more readily observed than with the electrodeless tube. The number densities of helium atoms in various excited states were determined from the time resolved line intensities before and after the passage of the luminous front. The ratios of atoms in different levels differ from the expected ratios for thermal equilibrium conditions, both ahead of the luminous front and behind it. An estimate was made of the time required for the attainment of equilibrium by electron impact. The calculation indicates that ahead of the luminous front there is not sufficient time to attain equilibrium. On the other hand, for the high electron density found behind the luminous front, the equilibrium distribution is expected to be reached in times shorter than the observation times, in disagreement with the behaviour observed.

Zwei methodologische Weiterentwicklungen, die Konstruktivistische Grounded Theory nach Kathy Charmaz und die postmodern ausgerichtete Situations­analyse nach Adele Clarke, werden v.a. hinsichtlich ihrer epistemologischen Grundannahmen sowie ihres methodischen Vorgehens miteinander verglichen, indem die beiden unterschiedli­chen Herangehensweisen bei der Interpretation desselben narrativen Interviews aus der DaZ-Professionsforschung einander gegenübergestellt werden. Der Vergleich zeigt, dass die Aufmerksamkeitslenkung im Forschungsprozess weitgehend von den ausgewählten For­schungsansätzen abhängt, insofern als diese nicht nur die Dateninterpretation prägen, sondern auch den Zugriff auf den Forschungsgegenstand bestimmen.
A By-Product of Summer Programs: Student Marketers and Career-Readiness

Subjects: summer term, marketing strategies, student professional development

description: Universities are exploring many models for delivering a fuller term in the summer. The structures and strategies of these differing models are invariably aimed at the same thing: increasing institutional awareness, student enrollment, and ultimately university revenue. Yet there is also room for involving students themselves in this endeavor so that the institutions benefit from their insight and labor, and so that the students benefit from on-the-job training that develops the skills prized by their future employers. This paper provides a brief narrative of one university’s shift from the fairly industry-wide, relatively casual approach to summer term of yesterday to something much more substantive today. This story itself is neither important here nor surprising. In fact, many other universities will recognize elements of it. Rather, it provides an introductory context for a surprising by-product: the professional development of student marketers involved in the strategy. We lay out employer definitions of career-readiness and, through structured interviews, demonstrate how supervised involvement in peer-to-peer marketing, much like an internship, enabled students to recognize how they had improved their career-readiness. We argue that the evidence here is generalizable and has implications for practice (and principle) across the academy.

Thermodynamics of free Domain Wall fermions

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Lattice (hep-lat)

description: Studying various thermodynamic quantities for the free domain wall fermions for both finite and infinite fifth dimensional extent N_5, we find that the lattice corrections are minimum for $N_T\geq10$ for both energy density and susceptibility, for its irrelevant parameter M in the range 1.45-1.50. The correction terms are, however, quite large for small lattice sizes of $N_T\leq8$. We propose modifications of the domain wall operator, as well as the overlap operator, to reduce the finite cut-off effects to within 10% of the continuum results of the thermodynamic quantities for the currently used N_T=6-8 lattices. Incorporating chemical potential, we show that μ^2 divergences are absent for a large class of such domain wall fermion actions although the chiral symmetry is broken for $μ\neq0$.

description: The weather is an ever present and uncontrollable element in our lives. Only a handful of studies has addressed the relationship between weather and the behavior of children, although anecdotal and intuitive evidence of this relationship abounds. The purpose of this study was to observe the behavior of groups of elementary school-aged children in their classroom ecology during different phases of the weather cycle as observed by their teachers, observe any behavioral differences between girls and boys, and observe if any weather -related differences exist between the behavior of younger and older children. A model of the direct and indirect influence of the weather on children was introduced, and a comprehensive, systematic method of classifying weather data for analysis was presented. A significant relationship was found between day of week, grade, school, weather, and behavior.

Das bedeutet, dass Themen, Gegenstände und Methoden, die in der Ausbildung relevant sind, auch in der Forschung bearbeitet werden und vice versa, sodass sich die Wissenschaft und die Lehrpraxis in einem sich gegenseitig anregenden und sich ergänzenden Verhältnis befinden.

description: A countywide survey in Uinta County, Wyoming, was conducted from December 1992 through March 1993. A stratified random sampling method was used in which 647 surveys were distributed with an overall response rate of 59.5%. This study employed analysis of variance (ANOVA) to address four research questions contending that the independent variables o f education, socioeconomic status, employment, and family stat us would differentially account for variation in the dependent variables, which were responses to survey items indicating the "appropriate age" to teach children about human reproduction, consequences of sexual activity, birth control methods, HIV/AIDS prevention, and sexually transmitted diseases.
The data revealed small, but statistically significant relationships. A positive association existed between higher educational attainment and indication of older appropriate ages to teach children about the consequences of sexual activity and sexually transmitted diseases at school. Respondents with higher incomes specified younger ages to teach children about human reproduction at home than did respondents with medium incomes, and respondents with medium incomes indicated younger ages to teach about human reproduction at home than did lower income respondents. Two-parent families chose to teach their children about human reproduction at younger ages at school than did single-parent families. Single-parent families chose to teach about birth control methods at home at younger ages than did respondents from two-parent families. Limitations of the study and recommendations for future research were discussed.

description: We present a systematic study of the correlation-induced corrections to the electronic band structure of zinc-blende BN. Our investigation employs an ab initio wave-function-based local Hamiltonian formalism which offers a rigorous approach to the calculation of the polarization and local charge redistribution effects around an extra electron or hole placed into the conduction or valence bands of semiconducting and insulating materials. Moreover, electron correlations beyond relaxation and polarization can be readily incorporated. The electron correlation treatment is performed on finite clusters. In conducting our study, we make use of localized Wannier functions and embedding potentials derived explicitly from prior periodic Hartree-Fock calculations. The on-site and nearest-neighbor charge relaxation bring corrections of several eV to the Hartree-Fock band gap. Additional corrections are caused by long-range polarization effects. In contrast, the dispersion of the Hartree-Fock bands is marginally affected by electron correlations. Our final result for the fundamental gap of zinc-blende BN compares well with that derived from soft x-ray experiments at the B and N K-edges.

title: Four Levels of Sexual Involvement, and Their Association with Dating Patterns, Family Relationships, and Other Related Factors
Creators: name: Monson, Bruce H.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1999

description: This study examined four levels of sexual involvement among adolescents. Levels of sexual involvement were (1) adolescents who had experienced sexual intercourse; (2) adolescents who had been involved in petting but had never had intercourse; (3) adolescents who had made out but had never petted or had sexual intercourse; and (4) adolescents who had never made out, petted, or had sexual intercourse. The sample consisted of 308 eleventh graders from a semi-rural area of the state of Utah.
Dating patterns, particularly early age at first date, were found to be significantly associated with most levels of sexual involvement. Early age at first date was associated with a high level of sexual involvement, with 90% of the adolescents who dated at age 13 or before having experienced sexual intercourse by their junior year in high school. Having a steady boyfriend or girlfriend was also associated with a higher level of sexual involvement, with 58% of those who reported having a steady dating partner reporting sexual intercourse involvement.
Close relationships with family, father, and mother were more predictive of less female involvement in sexual activity than male. Relationship with mother was not significant for adolescent male sexual involvement. Having peers who approved of adolescent sexual involvement was more associated with male than female sexual activity. Higher frequency of church attendance was a strong predictor of less sexual involvement for both genders. More factors proved to be predictive of adolescent female than male sexual activity on all levels of sexual involvement. A history of sexual abuse and having high educational goals were significantly associated with female sexual involvement only.

description: The Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture states that the rank of the Mordell-Weil group of an elliptic curve E equals the order of vanishing at the central point of the associated L-function L(s,E). Previous investigations have focused on bounding how far we must go above the central point to be assured of finding a zero, bounding the rank of a fixed curve or on bounding the average rank in a family. Mestre showed the first zero occurs by O(1/loglog(N_E)), where N_E is the conductor of E, though we expect the correct scale to study the zeros near the central point is the significantly smaller 1/log(N_E). We significantly improve on Mestre's result by averaging over a one-parameter family of elliptic curves, obtaining non-trivial upper and lower bounds for the average number of normalized zeros in intervals on the order of 1/log(N_E) (which is the expected scale). Our results may be interpreted as providing further evidence in support of the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture, as well as the Katz-Sarnak density conjecture from random matrix theory (as the number of zeros predicted by random matrix theory lies between our upper and lower bounds). These methods may be applied to additional families of L-functions.

title: Marital Quality in Deaf-Deaf and Deaf-Hearing Marriages
Creators: name: Mosier, Anthony G.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1999

description: The purpose of this study was to assess similarities and differences in marital adjustment between Deaf-Deaf and Deaf-hearing married couples. In examining marital adjustment, Spanier's Revised Dyadic Adjustment Scale (RDAS) was translated from English to American Sign Language (ASL) and administered to 30 Deaf-Deaf and 22 Deaf-hearing couple respondents.
Although there were no statistically significant differences between the two groups. Deaf-Deaf couples tended to have higher marital adjustment mean scores than Deaf-hearing couples. Deaf-hearing females reported the lowest levels of marital adjustment.
A qualitative component of the study yielded information concerning what Deaf-Deaf and Deaf-hearing couples consider the most important factors contributing to marital happiness. Both Deaf-Deaf and Deaf-hearing couples reported that language and cultural compatibility is the most important quality of a successful marriage.
The need for continued research on the differences between Deaf-Deaf and Deaf-hearing marriages was addressed. The theoretical Implications of the study were highlighted, along with other recommendations concerning the role of marriage and family therapists who work with Deaf couples.

description: Since 2013, Purdue University has been implementing a series of strategies to increase summer enrollment and affordability as part of the Purdue Moves initiative. One important aspect of the plan includes dedicating a portion of new summer tuition and fees toward strategic scholarships and need-based financial aid to help students speed time to degree completion. In the past, scholarships  ere dedicated to Summer Start, Summer Stay, and Summer Finish. In 2018, the Advisor-Initiated Scholarship, Summer Internship Plus, and Early Start  residential Scholarship were added to the portfolio and the application timeline for existing scholarships was revised to maximize the impact on enrollment.

description: The rotational properties of a mixture of two distinguishable Bose gases that are confined in a ring potential provide novel physical effects that we demonstrate in this study. Persistent currents are shown to be stable for a range of the population imbalance between the two components at low angular momentum. At higher values of the angular momentum, even small admixtures of a second species of atoms make the persistent currents highly fragile.

title: Using Maslow's Needs Model to Assess Individuals' Attitudes Toward Money

description: Few things occupy as central a place in our lives as money. Although the study of money has a long history in the behavioral sciences, others have only recently begun examining this important topic. The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between basic human need levels and money attitudes in a university-age cohort utilizing a theory of hierarchical needs. Needs theory, introduced by Abraham Maslow, suggests that as we interact with the environment we accumulate specific needs that motivate us to respond to life experiences.
Three hundred thirty-eight college students attending Utah State University satellite campuses responded to a measure designed to examine an individual's attitudes toward money and achievement of needs (Maslow). Pilot study results validated the selection of modified versions of both Lim and Teo's Attitudes Toward Money Scale and Lester's Need Satisfaction Inventory as reliable instruments in assessing money attitudes and need achievement.
Results confirmed relationships between money attitudes and human needs. Specifically, all of Maslow's needs appear to be strongly related to the money attitudes of evaluation and anxiety. In addition, men's and women's needs are highly correlated with obsession, budget, anxiety, and particularly evaluation. Associations of money attitudes with demographic variables such as gender, age, and income were also supported. For example, gender was statistically related to money attitudes of obsession, power, budget, and achievement. Age shared a strong relationship with obsession, budget, anxiety, and retention. Finally, power and evaluation were the money attitudes explaining the bulk of the variance in income.
The findings of the study support the literature and point to the importance of understanding a client's money attitudes and level of need satisfaction. particularly from a counseling standpoint. Implications of the results and possible areas for future research are discussed.

description: Die Zuwanderung der letzten Jahrzehnte hat einen gesellschaftlichen Wandel ange-stoßen, der auch durch eine zunehmende sprachliche Heterogenität im Klassenzim-mer sichtbar wird. Hieraus entstehen mitunter benachteiligende Strukturen, die al-lein durch exkludierende Settings nicht mehr auszugleichen sind. Unterricht sollte dementsprechend so sprachsensibel gestaltet werden, dass sprachliches und fachli-ches Lernen eng miteinander verknüpft wird (vgl. Schmölzer-Eibinger 2013). Die gewählten sprachlichen Strukturen sollten also sowohl kognitive Verarbeitungspro-zesse unterstützen, als auch dazu beitragen, unterrichtliche Sprachhandlungskom-petenzen auszubauen. Mittlerweile ist auf diesem Gebiet eine große Zahl an theo-retischen aber auch empirischen Arbeiten erschienen, die unter den Stichworten „Durchgängige Sprachbildung“ (Heintze 2010), „Sprache im Fach“ (Becker- Mrotzek 2013) oder „Sprachsensibler Fachunterricht“ (Leisen 2013) firmieren.
