description: Federalism is a system of government in which power is divided between a central authority and constituent political units. Indian Federalism is different from the type of Federalism practiced in the countries like the United States of America. Indian model of federalism is called quasi-federal system as it contains major features of both a federation and union. It can be better phrased as ‘federation sui generis’ or federation of its own kind. The Constitution of India, adopted in 1950, made a clear distinction between the financial jurisdictions of the various governments. The various functions of each government have been delineated into three lists: (i) Un­ion List, (ii) State List, and (iii) Concurrent List. In this article an attempt is made to understand and analyse the system of federal finance and issues and challenges of federal finance in India.

description: The Digital Twin is a well-known concept of industry 4.0 and is the cyber part of a cyber-physical production system providing several benefits such as virtual commissioning or predictive maintenance. The existing production systems are lacking a Digital Twin which has to be created manually in a time-consuming and error-prone process. Therefore, methods to create digital models of existing production systems and their relations between them were developed. This paper presents the implementation of the methodology for the creation of multi-disciplinary relations and a quantitative and qualitative evaluation of the benefits of the methodology.

description: We measured the ratios of electroproduction cross-sections from a proton target for three exclusive meson-baryon final states: $ΛK^+$, $pπ^0$, and $nπ^+$, with the CLAS detector at Jefferson Lab. Using a simple model of quark hadronization we extract q-qbar creation probabilities for the first time in exclusive two-body production, in which only a single q-qbar pair is created. We observe a sizable suppression of strange quark-antiquark pairs compared to non-strange pairs, similar to that seen in high-energy production.

description: 
Racial inequities in medicine impact the health and lives of Black children and their families; research is needed to identify how clinicians can promote health equity and foster meaningful connection with Black pediatric patients and caregivers. Our goal is to promote racial justice for Black pediatric patients and families by adapting the Presence 5 for Racial Justice framework to pediatric needs. The objectives of this summer study were to identify preparatory communication practices that pediatric clinicians can use to address racism, build trusting relationships, and empower Black patients and caregivers in clinical care. Using a targeted literature review, P5RJ framework’s Prepare domain was refined. The following gaps were targeted: 1) Pediatric-specific examples of anti-Black interpersonal racism 2) Racial Socialization, 3) Earned Medical Mistrust, and 4) Frameworks for Reflection: Positionality, Reflexivity, and Intersectionality. Synthesizing P5RJ’s previous work with the conducted targeted literature review, resulted in two subdomains: 1) Addressing interpersonal Anti-Black racism and 2) Preparing accessible materials and resources. Studies like this are needed to strengthen feasibility, sustainability, and potential for long-term effectiveness of Anti-Racist curricula that support clinicians in delivery of equitable care for Black pediatric patients that also empowers caregivers and families.

description: Hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) is a form of interstitial lung disease (ILD) caused by inhaled exposures. Diagnosis is difficult because exposures are not well-known and CT scan features often overlap with other ILDs. Misdiagnosis leads to inappropriate treatment and worse patient outcomes. This thesis aimed to improve diagnostic confidence by addressing how doctors assess exposures and CT scans. This included a standardised HP exposure questionnaire and an online searchable database which more accurately identifies those with HP. In addition, artificial intelligence algorithms were created to better identify HP features on CTs. Together, these resources help doctors improve the diagnosis of HP.

description: Experimental results often do not assess network structure; rather, the network structure is inferred by the dynamics of the nodes. From the dynamics of the nodes one then constructs a network of functional relations, termed the functional network. A fundamental question in the analysis of complex systems concerns the relation between functional and structural networks. Using synchronisation as a paradigm for network functionality, we study the dynamics of cluster formation in functional networks. We show that the functional network can drastically differ from the structural network. We uncover the mechanism driving these bifurcations by obtaining necessary conditions for modular synchronisation.

description: In this letter, we present a simple and versatile scheme for enhancing the nonclassical properties of light states using only linear optics and photodetectors. By combining a coherent state $|α\rangle$ and an arbitrary pure state of light $|ϕ\rangle$ (excluding coherent states) at two beam splitters, we show that the amplitude $α$ of the coherent state can be tuned to filter out specific Fock components and generate states of light with enhanced nonclassical features. We provide two examples of input states and demonstrate the effectiveness of our scheme in enhancing the sub-Poissonian statistics or the quadrature squeezing of the output states.

The Ising chain constrained to an even or odd number of positive spins

Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We investigate the statistical mechanics of the periodic one-dimensional Ising chain when the number of positive spins is constrained to be either an even or an odd number. We calculate the partition function using a generalization of the transfer matrix method. On this basis, we derive the exact magnetization, susceptibility, internal energy, heat capacity and correlation function. We show that in general the constraints substantially slow down convergence to the thermodynamic limit. By taking the thermodynamic limit together with the limit of zero temperature and zero magnetic field, the constraints lead to new scaling functions and different probability distributions for the magnetization. We demonstrate how these results solve a stochastic version of the one-dimensional voter model.

description: A two-dimensional mass-spring system with Honeycomb lattice for mimicking phononic quantum Hall effect is proposed. Its band structure shows the existence of Dirac cones and unconventional edge states that is similar to the vibrational modes in graphene. Interestingly, as the system is placed on a constantly rotational coordinate system, the Coriolis force resulted from the non-inertial reference frame provides a possibility to break the time-reversal symmetry. Thus, caused from topologically non-trivial band gaps, phononic edge states are present between bands, which are verified by the calculation of Chern numbers for corresponding bands.

description: Materials exhibiting negative differential resistance have important applications in technologies involving microwave generation, which range from motion sensing to radio astronomy. Despite their usefulness, there has been few physical mechanisms giving rise to materials with such properties, i.e. GaAs employed in the Gunn diode. In this work, we show that negative differential resistance also generically arise in Dirac ring systems, an example of which has been experimentally observed in the surface states of Topological Insulators. This novel realization of negative differential resistance is based on a completely different physical mechanism from that of the Gunn effect, relying on the characteristic non-monotonicity of the response curve that remains robust in the presence of nonzero temperature, chemical potential, mass gap and impurity scattering. As such, it opens up new possibilities for engineering applications, such as frequency upconversion devices which are highly sought for terahertz signal generation. Our results may be tested with thin films of Bi2Se3 Topological Insulators, and are expected to hold qualitatively even in the absence of a strictly linear Dirac dispersion, as will be the case in more generic samples of Bi2Se3 and other materials with topologically nontrivial Fermi sea regions.

description: We present a census of blue horizontal branch (BHB) and blue straggler (BS) stars belonging to dwarf galaxies and globular clusters, and compare these counts to that of the Milky Way stellar halo. We find, in agreement with earlier studies, that the ratio of BS-to-BHB stars in these satellite populations is dependent on stellar mass. Dwarf galaxies show an increasing BS-to-BHB ratio with luminosity. In contrast, globular clusters display the reverse trend, with N_BS/N_BHB (< 1) decreasing with luminosity. The faintest (L < 10^5 L_Sun) dwarfs have similar numbers of BS and BHB stars (N_BS/N_BHB ~ 1), whereas more massive dwarfs tend to be dominated by BS stars (N_BS/N_BHB ~ 2-40). We find that the BS-to-BHB ratio in the stellar halo is relatively high (N_BS/N_BHB ~ 5-6), and thus inconsistent with the low ratios found in both ultra-faint dwarfs and globular clusters. Our results favour more massive dwarfs as the dominant "building blocks" of the stellar halo, in good agreement with current predictions from LambdaCDM models.

Αντικείμενο της έρευνας είναι η ανάδειξη και η ανάλυση της εκδοτικής δραστηριότητας της περιόδου 1915-1919, δηλαδή των φυλλαδίων, των βιβλίων και των αφισών που εξέδωσαν οι δύο παρατάξεις για να επιτύχουν τους πολιτικούς τους στόχους.

description: In this paper, we shall perform a detailed analysis of the Exact Holographic Mapping first introduced in arXiv:1309.6282, which was proposed as an explicit example of holographic duality between quantum many-body systems and gravitational theories. We obtain analytic results for free-fermion systems that not only confirm previous numerical results, but also elucidate the exact relationships between the various physical properties of the bulk and boundary systems. Our analytic results allow us to study the asymptotic properties that are difficult to probe numerically, such as the near horizon regime of the black hole geometry. We shall also explore a few interesting but hitherto unexplored bulk geometries, such as that corresponding to a boundary critical fermion with nontrivial dynamic critical exponent. Our analytic framework also allows us to study the holographic mapping of some of these boundary theories in dimensions 2+1 or higher.

description: Στην παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία αναζητάμε μέσα από την βιβλιογραφία αλλά και από έρευνες που έχουν γίνει από αξιοσημείωτους ερευνητές, γύρω από την επιστήμη της διαδερμικής χορήγησης ουσιών, τις πλέον σύγχρονες επιστημονικές εξελίξεις στην ενίσχυση της δερματικής διαπερατότητας, με τη χρήση τρίτης γενιάς τεχνολογιών. Σκοπός αυτής της αναζήτησης είναι να βρεθούν οι τελευταίοι διαδερμικοί μέθοδοι μέσω των συστημάτων της ηλεκτρικώς υποβοηθούμενης διαδερμικής απορρόφησης για την αντιμετώπιση των αισθητικών προβλημάτων και συγκεκριμένα με την μέθοδο της ηλεκτροπόρωσης. Η ηλεκτροπόρωση είναι μια τεχνική που χρησιμοποιείται αρκετά χρόνια σε ερευνητικό επίπεδο, όμως τα τελευταία χρόνια βρίσκει όλο και περισσότερες εφαρμογές αντικαθιστώντας τις μέχρι τώρα γνωστές μεθόδους, όπως ιοντοφόρηση, υπερήχους κ.α. Αρχικά γίνεται διερεύνηση του ανθρώπινου δέρματος, καταγράφεται και αναλύεται η λειτουργία του προκειμένου να γίνει αντιληπτός ο μηχανισμός τροποποίησης της διαπερατότητάς του. Στη συνέχεια παρατίθενται αναλυτικές πληροφορίες για τον τρόπο δράσης, την αποτελεσματικότητά και τη συμβολή της μεθόδου στη διατήρηση της αποτελεσματικότητάς της κατά περίπτωση καθώς επίσης, πως με την μέθοδο της ηλεκτροπόρωσης, επιτυγχάνουμε να αντιμετωπίσουμε τις ανάγκες της επιδερμίδας μας και ποιες ανάγκες της επιδερμίδας μας μπορεί να καλύψει. Καταγράφονται πληροφορίες για τη διάγνωση και τη θεραπεία τους λαμβάνοντας υπόψιν και τις απαραίτητες προφυλάξεις για την προστασία του ατόμου στο οποίο εφαρμόζεται. Τέλος γίνεται σύγκριση διαφόρων μεθόδων αύξησης της διαδερμικής απορρόφησης με τη μέθοδο της ηλεκτροπόρωσης και καταγράφονται τα πλεονεκτήματά της. Η ηλεκτροπόρωση επιτρέπει γρήγορη και βαθύτερη διείσδυση ενεργών συστατικών, μέσω των «ηλεκτροπόρων», προάγοντας τη δυνατότητα να διοχετευτούν στο σημείο που επιθυμούμε συστατικά όπως βιταμίνες, μέταλλα, αμινοξέα κ.λ.π. Έτσι επιτυγχάνεται αποτελεσματική, στοχευμένη και ομοιόμορφη κατανομή των δραστικών υδατοδιαλυτών ουσιών μικρού και μεγάλου μοριακού βάρους, σε βαθύτερα στρώματα των ιστών του δέρματος. Ως αποτέλεσμα όλης αυτής της διαδικασίας η μέθοδος της ηλεκτροπόρωσης αποτελεί ένα επιπλέον όπλο στη φαρέτρα μας, για την αντιμετώπιση και βελτίωση των αισθητικών προβλημάτων.

description: Hintergrund: Im Rahmen verschiedener an der Universität Osnabrück durchgeführter Studien zu atmungsaktiven Membranen konnten mehrfach sowohl barriereregenerative als auch okklusionsvermindernde Effekte semipermeabler Handschuhe aus Sympatex® nachgewiesen werden. Die porenlose, kompakt hydrophile Kunststoff-Membran besteht zu 100% aus Polyetherester, einer Verkettung aus Polyester- und Polyethermolekülen, die auf molekularer Ebene die Ableitung von Feuchtigkeit entlang des Diffusionsgefälles ermöglichen. Der Einsatz der atmungsaktiven Membran bietet sich daher als Unterziehmaterial unter okklusiven Schutzhandschuhen an, die in der beruflichen Praxis Beschäftigter im Gesundheitswesen verstärkt zum Einsatz kommen. Methodik: Die aktuell von der Universität Osnabrück durchgeführte Studie ProTection I findet in Kooperation mit der Berufsgenossenschaft für Gesundheitsdienst und Wohlfahrtspflege statt und gliedert sich in verschiedene Teilprojekte. Hauptziel des hier vorgestellten Teilprojektes ist es, innerhalb einer Langzeit-Anwendungsstudie die Anwenderakzeptanz der Sympatex®-Handschuhe an Patienten mit berufsdermatologischer Vorgeschichte, die an Hautschutzseminaren der Schulungs- und Beratungszentren der BGW teilnehmen, zu evaluieren. Insgesamt erproben 160 Beschäftigte des Gesundheitswesens über einen Zeitraum von drei Monaten entweder Unterziehhandschuhe aus Sympatex®- oder Baumwolle unter ihren üblichen Schutzhandschuhen. Im Anschluss erfolgt mittels anonymisierter, standardisierter Fragebögen eine Bewertung der jeweils erprobten Handschuhe. Ergebnisse und Ausblick: Erste Zwischenergebnisse weisen darauf hin, dass die semipermeablen Handschuhe bei der Mehrheit der Anwender auf breite Akzeptanz treffen. Vor allem bei langen Tragezeiten impermeabler Schutzhandschuhe sowie in Tätigkeitsbereichen mit hohem feinmotorischen Anforderungsprofil stellen die Sympatex®-Unterziehhandschuhe eine favorisierte Alternative gegenüber den bisher standardisiert eingesetzten Baumwoll-Unterziehhandschuhen dar. Die aktive Rekrutierungsphase für dieses Teilprojekt wurde bereits abgeschlossen, so dass erste Ergebnisse im Rahmen der Tagung vorgestellt werden können.

description: Satellite observations are critical for numerical weather prediction (NWP), yet the full potential of visible spectral data remains to be explored. In recent years, ECMWF has been advancing efforts to incorporate visible satellite observations to enhance the analysis and forecasts of clouds and aerosols in the Integrated Forecasting System (IFS). We discuss results from the CLOVIS-2 and CERTAINTY projects, presenting visible reflectance (655 nm) monitoring and assimilation experiments using observations from the Ocean and Land Color Instrument (OLCI) onboard ESA's Sentinel 3A and 3B satellite missions. Our study assesses the first-ever successful experimental assimilation of visible all-sky satellite observations in the IFS using model CY49R1, which became operational in November 2024. A comprehensive evaluation of these experiments demonstrates that visible reflectance assimilation can improve the model analysis of clouds by better fitting the model trajectory to observations in reflectance space. We will also discuss the remaining challenges related to the future operational assimilation of visible observations, including observation operator refinements, observation error modelling, and the role of model errors and biases. Our findings underscore the vast potential of visible spectral data for operational NWP and future re-analysis products.

description: Polarization control of terahertz wave is a challenging subject in terahertz science and technology. Here, we report a simple method to control polarization state of the terahertz wave in terahertz generation process. At room temperature, terahertz radiation from a noncentrosymmetric and chiral oxide, sillenite Bi$_{12}$GeO$_{20}$, is observed by the irradiation of linearly polarized femtosecond laser pulses at 800 nm. The polarization state of the emitted terahertz wave is found to be elliptic with an ellipticity of $\sim$0.37$\pm$0.10. Furthermore, the ellipticity was altered to a nearly zero ($\sim$0.01$\pm$0.01) by changing the polarization of the incident linearly polarized femtosecond laser pulses. Such a terahertz radiation characteristic is attributable to variation of the polarization state of the emitted terahertz waves, which is induced by retardation due to the velocity mismatch between the incident femtosecond laser pulse and generated terahertz wave and by the polarization tilting due to the optical activity at 800 nm.

description: We present an in-depth analysis of stellar activity and its effects on radial velocity (RV) for the M2 dwarf GJ 176 based on spectra taken over 10 years from the High Resolution Spectrograph on the Hobby-Eberly Telescope. These data are supplemented with spectra from previous observations with the HIRES and HARPS spectrographs, and V- and R-band photometry taken over 6 years at the Dyer and Fairborn observatories. Previous studies of GJ 176 revealed a super-Earth exoplanet in an 8.8-day orbit. However, the velocities of this star are also known to be contaminated by activity, particularly at the 39-day stellar rotation period. We have examined the magnetic activity of GJ 176 using the sodium I D lines, which have been shown to be a sensitive activity tracer in cool stars. In addition to rotational modulation, we see evidence of a long-term trend in our Na I D index, which may be part of a long-period activity cycle. The sodium index is well correlated with our RVs, and we show that this activity trend drives a corresponding slope in RV. Interestingly, the rotation signal remains in phase in photometry, but not in the spectral activity indicators. We interpret this phenomenon as the result of one or more large spot complexes or active regions which dominate the photometric variability, while the spectral indices are driven by the overall magnetic activity across the stellar surface. In light of these results, we discuss the potential for correcting activity signals in the RVs of M dwarfs.

description: Particles with directional interactions are promising building blocks for new functional materials and may serve as models for biological structures. Mutually attractive nanoparticles that are deformable due to flexible surface groups, for example, may spontaneously order themselves into strings, sheets and large vesicles. Furthermore, anisotropic colloids with attractive patches can self-assemble into open lattices and colloidal equivalents of molecules and micelles. However, model systems that combine mutual attraction, anisotropy, and deformability have---to the best of our knowledge---not been realized. Here, we synthesize colloidal particles that combine these three characteristics and obtain self-assembled microcapsules. We propose that mutual attraction and deformability induce directional interactions via colloidal bond hybridization. Our particles contain both mutually attractive and repulsive surface groups that are flexible. Analogous to the simplest chemical bond, where two isotropic orbitals hybridize into the molecular orbital of H2, these flexible groups redistribute upon binding. Via colloidal bond hybridization, isotropic spheres self-assemble into planar monolayers, while anisotropic snowman-like particles self-assemble into hollow monolayer microcapsules. A modest change of the building blocks thus results in a significant leap in the complexity of the self-assembled structures. In other words, these relatively simple building blocks self-assemble into dramatically more complex structures than similar particles that are isotropic or non-deformable.
The social and ethical implications of autonomous vehicles

description: The current discourse surrounding vehicle autonomy focuses on the safe decision making of these machines, and the optimisation of traffic flow. It seems unquestionable that driverless vehicles will have far reaching effects on the way we live our lives yet to date, the social and ethical implications of driverless technologies on the user have largely been ignored. Using a multimethods approach incorporating speculative design and qualitative methods, this thesis explores the social and ethical implications of autonomous technologies on everyday life. Speculative design methods were used to question the autonomous vehicle concepts published by manufacturers. This identified user groups who appear unlikely to adopt such technologies, due to infrastructural and logistical constraints. HGV drivers emerged as a pioneering user group, who by law, had been using early driverless technologies since November 2015 with mixed success. The views of HGV drivers were explored through qualitative methods, using semi-structured interviews. The findings indicate that the industries developing autonomous technologies are all too often focused on a single user, the urban commuter. As a result, HGV drivers felt that they were being burdened with technology which they see as imposed on them and which is unhelpful or even detrimental to their lives and working practices. This is leading to increased resistance and a questioning of the future role of the professional driver. Building on the emerging field of data comics and using HGV drivers as a case study, this thesis proposes methods of visualising futures that could help designers and academics to explore, challenge and influence how we want emergent technologies to shape our daily lives in the future. This thesis highlights that the trajectory of autonomous technology development is not towards the experience of the driver or user but instead, is focused on the pursuit of the advancement of technology.

description: Hintergrund: In der Studie Pro-Tection 0 (Vorprojekt) und zahlreichen Untersuchungen zu semi- permeablen Handschuhen konnte bereits nachgewiesen werden, dass Handschuhe aus atmungsaktiven Membranen – wie sie mit dem Unterziehhandschuh aus Sympatex® vorliegen – den negativen Okklusionseffekt impermeabler Schutzhandschuhe vermindern und gleichzeitig positive Effekte auf die Barriereregeneration bereits (vor-)geschädigter Haut ausüben. Sympatex® ist eine porenlose Kunststoff-Membran, die aus hydrophilen Polyester- und hydrophoben Polyethermolekülen besteht, die auf molekularer Ebene die Ableitung von Feuchtigkeit entlang des Diffusionsgradienten ermöglichen. Methodik: Die aktuell von der Universität Osnabrück durchgeführte Studie findet in Kooperation mit der BGW statt und gliedert sich in 3 Teilprojekte: Ziel der ersten Teilstudie ist es, innerhalb einer 3-monatigen Testphase die Anwenderakzeptanz der Sympatex®-Handschuhe an Patienten mit berufsdermatologischer Vorgeschichte, die an Hautschutzseminaren der Schulungs- und Beratungszentren der BGW und des iDerm teilnehmen, zu evaluieren (n = 200). Bei einem Teil des Kollektivs erfolgen zusätzliche hautphysiologische Vor- und Nachuntersuchungen (n = 40). Im zweiten Teil der Studie soll der Effekt einer Langzeitabdeckung mit der Sympatex®-Membran auf den Heilungsverlauf von berufsbedingten Hauterkrankungen an Patienten, die an einer 3-wöchigen stationären Rehabilitationsmaßnahme des iDerm in Osnabrück oder Hamburg teilnehmen, eruiert werden (n = 120). Ziel der dritten Teilstudie ist es, anwendungsorientierte und anwenderrelevante Abdeckungszeiten mit der Sympatex®-Membran und verschiedenen Handschuhmaterialkombinationen auf die experimentell irritierte Haut hautgesunder Probanden zu ermitteln (n = 50). Ziel: ProTection I verfolgt das Ziel, die positiven Resultate des Vorprojekts zu verifizieren und anhand größerer Fallzahlen zu validieren. Die Ergebnisse der Machbarkeitsstudie sollen Aufschluss darüber geben, in welchem Rahmen und Setting durch den Einsatz von Unterziehhandschuhen aus dem atmungsaktiven Material Sympatex® ein effektiver Beitrag zur Erweiterung und Optimierung aktueller sekundär- bzw. tertiärpräventiver Maßnahmen geleistet werden kann.

description: Ziel: Ziel der Anwendungsbeobachtung war die Evaluation der subjektiven Wirksamkeit und Hautverträglichkeit zweier für die Pflege der normalen bis trockenen/rauen Haut ausgelobten Körperlotionen mit unterschiedlichem Emulsionstyp und Urea-Anteil. Methodik: Der monadische Volltest/Home-use-Test umfasste die Erprobung zweier Prüfparate (P1: W/O, 36 % Lipide, 4 % Urea; P2: O/W, 11 % Lipide, 2 % Urea). Die Anwendung erfolg-te nach Bedarf mind. einmal täglich über eine Dauer von Ø 16 Tagen. Im Anschluss wurden die individuellen Produkterfahrungen mittels anonymisierter Fragebögen evaluiert. Ergebnisse: Unverträglichkeitsreaktionen traten bei keinem der insgesamt 21 Teilnehmenden auf. 18 Datensätze (Dauer >7 Tage) ausgewertet werden. Das Kollektiv (P1: n = 7, P2: n = 11) setzte sich somit aus 18 Personen (Ø63.3 Jahre, 17 Frauen, 1 Mann) mit normaler (n = 7) bis sehr/trockener (n = 11) Haut zusammen. P1 wurde hinsichtlich Einziehvermögen, Hautverträglichkeit und Pflegewirkung für „sehr gut“ befunden. Die Produkteigenschaf-ten Konsistenz und Verteilbarkeit wurden mit „gut“, der Geruch mit „befriedigend“ beurteilt. Verteilbarkeit, Einziehvermögen und Verträglichkeit von P2 wurden für „sehr gut“ befunden und alle anderen Eigenschaften mit „gut“ bewertet. Der Hauzustand nach Anwendung von P1 wurde tendenziell besser empfunden. Entsprechend des „guten“ Gesamturteiles würde die Mehrheit der Befragten die Prüfpräparate weiterempfehlen (83.3 %, n = 15/18) und anstelle den bisher verwendeten Hautpflegeproduk-ten weiter verwenden (64.7 %, n = 11/18). Fazit: Die vorliegenden Ergebnisse unterstützen die Befunde hautphysiologischer Untersuchungen zur Frage der Produkteignung als feuchtigkeitsspendende Begleittherapie bei atopischer Dermatitis [1,2]. Aufgrund der guten Anwenderverträglichkeit sowie subjektiv wahrgenommenen Verbesserung der Hautqualität durch die Teilnehmenden, sind beide erprobten Produkte für die tägliche Pflege der normalen sowie (altersbedingten) trockenen Haut geeignet.

description: Worldwide, teachers are expected to engage their students in authentic practices, like scientific modeling. Research suggests that teachers experience challenges when integrating modeling in their classroom instruction, with one explanation that teachers themselves lack the necessary modeling competence. Currently, theoretical conceptualizations structure the modeling competence into three dimensions: meta-modeling knowledge, modeling practice, and modeling products. While each of these dimensions is well researched on its own and the three dimensions are commonly expected to be highly positively related, studies investigating their specific relationships are widely lacking. Aiming to fill this gap, the present study investigated the meta-modeling knowledge, modeling practice, and modeling products of 35 secondary preservice biology teachers engaging in a black box modeling task. Data were collected with an established pen-and-paper questionnaire consisting of five constructed response items assessing meta-modeling knowledge and by videotaping the participants engaging in the black box modeling task. Herein, the three dimensions of modeling competence were operationalized as five variables including decontextualized and contextualized meta-modeling knowledge, complexity, and homogeneity of the modeling processes and a modeling product score. In contrast to our expectations and common assumptions in the literature, significant relationships between the five variables were widely lacking. Only the complexity of the modeling processes correlated significantly with the quality of the modeling products. To investigate this relationship further, a qualitative in-depth analysis of two cases is presented. Implications for biology teacher education are discussed.
