description: Η παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία αποσκοπεί στην ανάλυση και στη μελέτη της αναλυτικής των ανθρώπινων πόρων καθώς και στην επίδρασή τους στην στρατηγική διοίκηση των ανθρώπινων πόρων στους οργανισμούς. Αρχικά, πραγματοποιήθηκε μια επισκόπηση της βιβλιογραφίας στο αντικείμενο της Στρατηγικής Διοίκησης Ανθρώπινων Πόρων και της Αναλυτικής Ανθρώπινων Πόρων για την καλύτερη ερμηνεία και κατανόησή τους και έπειτα εξετάστηκε ο τρόπος με τον οποίο συνδέονται αυτές οι δύο έννοιες. Πιο συγκεκριμένα, αναλύεται ο θετικός αντίκτυπος που έχει η αναλυτική ανθρώπινων πόρων στις επιμέρους βασικές λειτουργίες του τμήματος ανθρώπινων πόρων, κυρίως στον τομέα της πρόσληψης και επιλογής, καθώς και ότι μπορεί να αποτελέσει σημαντικό στρατηγικό στοιχείο στους οργανισμούς, κυρίως στους μεγαλύτερους. Τα παραπάνω αποτελούν και τις ερευνητικές υποθέσεις που αναπτύχθηκαν και προσπάθησαν να επαληθευθούν ή όχι μέσω της συλλογής δεδομένων ενός ερωτηματολογίου. Το δείγμα της έρευνας αποτελείται από 30 συμμετέχοντες, από τους οποίους οι 20 εργάζονται σε μεγάλους οργανισμούς. Τα ευρήματα απέδειξαν πως η χρήση της αναλυτικής ανθρώπινων πόρων επιδρά θετικά στις περισσότερες δραστηριότητες ενός οργανισμού και ιδιαίτερα κατά την πρόσληψη και επιλογή ενός υποψηφίου. Συνεπώς, τα αποτελέσματα που εξήχθησαν από την έρευνα έχουν σημαντική πρακτική εφαρμογή σε όλους τους οργανισμούς, ακόμη και σε μικρότερους, αλλά και συμπληρώνουν το θεωρητικό πλαίσιο της παρούσας διπλωματικής έρευνας
description: The current diploma thesis aims at the analysis and study of the HR analytics as well as their impact on the strategic human resources management in organizations. Firstly, a review of the literature on Strategic Human Resource Management and Human Resources Analytics was conducted to better interpret and understand, and then was examined the way in which these two concepts are related. More specifically, it analyzes the positive impact that human resource analytics have on the individual core functions of the human resources department, mainly in the field of recruitment and selection, as well as that they can be an important strategic factor in organizations, especially in larger ones. The above are also the research hypotheses which were developed and tried to be verified or not through the data collection of a questionnaire. The research sample consists of 30 participants, where 20 of them work in large organizations. The findings showed that the use of human resources analytics has a positive effect on most activities of an organization and especially on the recruitment and selection of a candidate. Therefore, the results extracted from the research have significant practical application in all organizations, even smaller ones, but also they complement the theoretical framework of the current diploma thesis research

description: We develop a quantum dynamical field theory for studying phase transitions in driven open systems coupled to Markovian noise, where non-linear noise effects and fluctuations beyond semiclassical approximations influence the critical behaviour. We systematically compare the diagrammatics, the properties of the renormalization group flow and the structure of the fixed points, of the novel quantum dynamical field theory and of its semi-classical counterpart, which is employed to characterise dynamical criticality in three dimensional driven-dissipative condensates. As an application, we perform the Keldysh Functional Renormalization of a one dimensional driven open Bose gas, where a tailored diffusion Markov noise realises an analog of quantum criticality for driven-dissipative condensation. We find that the associated non-equilibrium quantum phase transition does not map into the critical behaviour of its three dimensional classical driven counterpart.

description: Background: The maternity leave given during the postpartum period is 2 month in Ethiopia therefore this may affect working mothers not to exclusively breastfeed for the first 6 month's recommended by World Health Organization. Available evidences showed 10-30% difference between employed and unemployed mothers in practice of exclusive breastfeeding. Objective: To assess magnitude and factors that affects the practice of exclusive breastfeeding among employed and unemployed mothers in Woldiya town. Methodology: A community based comparative cross-sectional study design was used from January to February 2015 in Woldiya town among 876 employed and unemployed mother. Simple random sampling technique was used. Data was entered into EPI-info and analyzed using SPSS software. Chi-square test was used for comparison. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were also done to examine the relationship between Exclusive breastfeeding and selected exposure factors with p-value 0.05. Results: The prevalence of Exclusive breastfeeding was 45.2% at 95% CI (40.3-49.6) among employed and 66.7% at 95% CI (62.1-71.4) among unemployed mothers [AOR: 2.40, 95% C.I :( 1.72-3.36)]. Mothers who had attained primary education were found to practice Exclusive breastfeeding more likely than those who completed secondary and above [AOR: 2.03, 95% C.I: (0.99-4.16)]. Month specific prevalence of Exclusive breastfeeding showed that, infants between 4 to 6 month age range were less likely to exclusively breastfeed than infants below 1 month [AOR: 0.10, 95% C.I: (0.05-0.22)]. Conclusion and Recommendation: The prevalence of Exclusive breastfeeding was lower among employed than unemployed mothers. As the age of infant increases the prevalence of EBF was progressively decrease. Promoting the practice of EBF through the extension of postnatal maternity leave is recommended.

description: The emergence of augmented reality (AR) is reshaping how people can observe and interact with their physical world and digital content. Virtual instructions provided by see-through AR can greatly enhance the efficiency and accuracy of physical tasks, but the cost of content authoring in previous research calls for more utilization of legacy information in AR. Web information is a great source hosting a wide range of legacy and instructional resources, yet current web browsing experience in AR headsets has not exploited the advantage of 3D immersive space mixing the real and virtual environments. Instead of creating new AR content or transforming from legacy resources, this research investigates how to better present web interfaces in AR headsets, especially in a physical task instruction context. A new approach multi-view AR web interfaces is proposed, which suggests separating web components into multiple panels that can be freely arranged in the user's surrounding 3D space. The separation and arrangement would allow more flexible combination of web content from multiple sources and with other AR applications in the user's field of view. This thesis presents a remote and self-guided elicitation user study with 15 participants that derives layout arrangement preferences of the proposed multi-view interfaces. The study uses a VR system developed to simulate three scenarios of performing real-world tasks instructed by multi-view AR web content involving different types of media. The study analyzes how users arrange such web interfaces, and the system also simulates various physical environments and general AR applications to investigate their impact on the virtual interface arrangement. According to participant survey responses and interface arrangement data, the study identifies patterns in interface layout, grouping relationships between interfaces, physical environment constraints, and relationships between web interfaces and general applications. Then five implementation strategies are suggested based on the design preference findings.

description: We study the evolution of cosmological perturbations in a contracting universe. We aim to determine under which conditions density perturbations grow to form large inhomogeneities and collapse into black holes. Our method consists in solving the cosmological perturbation equations in complete generality for a hydrodynamical fluid. We then describe the evolution of the fluctuations over the different length scales of interest and as a function of the equation of state for the fluid, and we explore two different types of initial conditions: quantum vacuum and thermal fluctuations. We also derive a general requirement for black hole collapse on sub-Hubble scales, and we use the Press-Schechter formalism to describe the black hole formation probability. For a fluid with a small sound speed (e.g., dust), we find that both quantum and thermal initial fluctuations grow in a contracting universe, and the largest inhomogeneities that first collapse into black holes are of Hubble size and the collapse occurs well before reaching the Planck scale. For a radiation-dominated fluid, we find that no black hole can form before reaching the Planck scale. In the context of matter bounce cosmology, it thus appears that only models in which a radiation-dominated era begins early in the cosmological evolution are robust against the formation of black holes. Yet, the formation of black holes might be an interesting feature for other models. We comment on a number of possible alternative early universe scenarios that could take advantage of this feature.

description: We use virial series to study the equilibrium properties of confined soft-spheres fluids interacting through the inverse-power potentials. The confinement is induced by hard walls with planar, spherical and cylindrical shapes. We evaluate analytically the coefficients of order two in density of the wall-fluid surface tension $γ$ and analyze the curvature contributions to the free energy. Emphasis is in bending and Gaussian rigidities, which are found analytically at order two in density. Their contribution to $γ(R)$ and the accuracy of different truncation procedures to the low curvature expansion are discussed. Finally, several universal relations that apply to low-density fluids are analyzed.

Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2000

description: Health calamities are one of the conU1lOn causes of impoverishment at the household level; and different households find different mechanisms for adapting to the same calamitous circumstance. Nowadays, in many developing countries, affordability of health care is a growing concern both for policy makers and households, as people are expected to contribute more from their own pockets in getting health care due to health sector financing reforms and privatization. This cross-sectional study, which has used both quantitative and qualitative methods of data collection, was conducted from February to October 2000 in 630 randomly selected ruml households living in a predominantly coffee growing district of southwest Etlliopia. The main objective of the study was to assess the strategies used by households to cope with the financial and time costs of illness. The average cost of visiting a health care provider for one illness episode was found to be 32.87 Birr (about 4 US$), of which expenditures for drugs, transpOlt and lodging away from home while seeking health care were considerable. In an attempt to quantify the economic implications of morbidity at the household level, days lost due to illness were determined. Accordingly, adults who have repOlted illness in the one-month recall period have lost 9.23 working days, which corresponds to a loss of about 138.45 Birr (about 17 US$) in one month . About 42% of the studied households with sick family members in the recall period of sixmonths were found not purchase outside health care for reasons associated with out of pocket 11 expenditure of health care costs. Main mechani sms use to cope with the financial costs of illnesses were looking for exemption paper (16.8%), sale of household assets (13.3%), use of household saving (\3.1 %), and going into debt ( 12.7%). In addition, about 64% of tJle housebolds did nothing to cope the potential time lost due to illness. Using multiple logistic regressIOn, socio-demographic and economic factors at the household le ve l, which have significant association with the choice of mechanisms for coping, were identifi ed. Based on the results of the study, altemative strategies of financing the local health services incorporating indigenous social networks like "eder" were di scussed and reconullendations forwarded

Using differential equations we present an iterative method to compute any desired order. As an example, we give the first three orders explicitly.

description: We report European Very Long Baseline Interferometry Network (EVN) radio continuum observations of ASASSN-14li, one of the best studied tidal disruption events (TDEs) to date. At 1.7 GHz with ~12x6mas resolution, the emission is unresolved. At 5.0 GHz with ~3x2mas resolution, the radio emission shows an extended structure that can be modeled with two components: a core-like component and a fainter, possibly elongated source 4.3mas (~2pc) away. Our observations are not conclusive as to the nature of the components, but three scenarios are discussed. One possibility is a core-jet/outflow morphology, thus making of ASASSN-14li the first TDE jet/outflow directly imaged. For this case, the projected separation between the two components can only be explained by superluminal motion, rather than the lower velocities inferred from low-resolution radio observations. However, typical fast moving jets have brightness temperatures ~5 orders of magnitude higher than we find, thus making this scenario less likely. The second possibility is that we are imaging a non-relativistic jet from past AGN/TDE activity. In this case a past TDE is preferred given that the spatial extension and radio luminosity of the elongated component are consistent with the theoretical predictions for a TDE outflow. Alternatively, the two sources could indicate the presence of a binary black hole, which would then naturally explain the enhanced TDE rates of post-starburst galaxies. Future EVN observations will help us to distinguish between these scenarios.

description: Οι Ημιμαρκοβιανές διαδικασίες αποφάσεων αποτελούν μια αρκετά δημοφιλή τεχνική βελτιστοποίησης προβλημάτων. Στην παρούσα εργασία παρουσιάζουμε και συγκρίνουμε τρείς αλγόριθμους εύρεσης της βέλτιστης πολιτικής και λύσης μίας Ημιμαρκοβιανής διαδικασίας αμοιβών σε χρόνο διακριτό. Ο πρώτος αλγόριθμος είναι ο κλασσικός αλγόριθμος μίας Ημιμαρκοβιανής διαδικασίας αποφάσεων και οι άλλοι δύο είναι οι αλγόριθμοι βελτιστοποίησης ενισχυτικής μάθησης SARSA και Q-Learning. Οι αλγόριθμοι εφαρμόζονται σε ένα πρόβλημα συντήρησης μηχανήματος το οποίο μπορεί να είναι είτε καινούριο, είτε μεταχειρισμένο με τρεις εναλλακτικές πολιτικές συντήρησης (1: σχολαστικός έλεγχος και προληπτική επισκευή, 2: τυπικός έλεγχος και επισκευή, 3: τυπικός έλεγχος και αναγκαία μόνο επισκευή). Ως χρονική μονάδα ορίζεται ο μήνας και ο κύκλος των επαναλήψεων φτάνει έως και τα δύο έτη. Η σύγκριση των αλγορίθμων έγινε ως προς την πολυπλοκότητα με χαρακτηριστικά το χρόνο και τη μνήμη και το βασικό συμπέρασμα που προέκυψε είναι ότι οι αλγόριθμοι ενισχυτικής μάθησης υπερέχουν του κλασσικού αλγόριθμου. Σε ότι αφορά τη βέλτιστη πολιτική, η σύγκριση δεν έδειξε σημαντικές διαφοροποιήσεις
description: Semi-Markov decision processes are a fairly popular problem optimization technique. In the present thesis we present and compare three algorithms for finding the optimal policy and solution of a Semi-Markov reward process in a discrete time. The first algorithm is the classic algorithm of a Semi-Markov decision process and the other two are the SARSA and Q-Learning optimization reinforcement algorithms. The algorithms are applied to a machine maintenance problem which can be either new or used with three alternative maintenance policies (1: thorough inspection and preventive repair, 2: standard inspection and repair, 3: standard inspection and only necessary repair). The time unit is defined as the month and the cycle of repetitions reaches up to two years. The comparison of the algorithms was done in terms of complexity with characteristics of time and memory and the main conclusion that emerged is that the reinforcement learning algorithms are superior to the classical algorithm. In terms of best policy, the comparison did not show significant differences

description: Coherent states in a projected Hilbert space have many useful properties. When there are conserved quantities, a representation of the entire Hilbert space is not necessary. The same issue arises when conditional observations are made with post-selected measurement results. In these cases, only a part of the Hilbert space needs to be represented, and one can define this restriction by way of a projection operator. Here coherent state bases and normally-ordered phase-space representations are introduced for treating such projected Hilbert spaces, including existence theorems and dynamical equations. These techniques are very useful in studying novel optical or microwave integrated photonic quantum technologies, such as boson sampling or Josephson quantum computers. In these cases states become strongly restricted due to inputs, nonlinearities or conditional measurements. This paper focuses on coherent phase states, which have especially simple properties. Practical applications are reported on calculating recurrences in anharmonic oscillators, the effects of arbitrary phase-noise on Schrodinger cat fringe visibility, and on boson sampling interferometry for large numbers of modes.

description: The incidence of cardiovascular disease on patients with chronic kidney disease is very high and their frequency is significantly increased. In patients with end-stage CKD, cardiovascular disease is the main cause of death. Nutritional intervention has an important role in the development of CKD and in the reduction of cardiovascular events. The aim of this study is to conduct a systematic review of available literature in order to provide a summary of evidence about the effect of different dietary patterns on patients with chronic kidney disease and the association with cardiovascular outcomes. We search electronic databases PubMed/Medline, EMBASE, CENTRAL for Randomized Controlled Trials and Cohort-Studies, examining the effect of specific dietary patterns on cardiovascular outcomes. Then, the systematic review was synthesized and the extraction of conclusions. We included a total of 6 RCTs and Cohort-Studies with 2.182 patients. The intervention with low protein diet appeared to lead to a reduction in cardiovascular mortality and all-cause mortality. A low protein diet leads to a reduction in cardiovascular mortality and all-cause mortality on patients with CKD. It is necessary to conduct further studies comparing dietary patterns each other and the impact on cardiovascular risk

description: Background: Female Genital Cutting (FGC) is practiced throughout the world, with the practice concentrated most heavily in Asia and Africa. Although the magnitude of FGC in Ethiopia has decreased still the prevalence is high because the procedure doesn't have any benefit. Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of FGC and its potential factors contributing to the act of FGC among primary in-school girls of Addis Ababa. Methods: There were approximately two hundred ten thousand girls who were enrolled in 656 primary schools in Addis Ababa. First the schools were stratified according to their ownership as government, public, private and religious schools. Then one primary school was randomly selected from each stratum. A total of 442 girls were proportionally selected from the four selected schools. The association of FGC to demographic and other important variables was tested by chi-square test. A stepwise background logistic regression model was also applied to test further the significant associations observed in chi square tests using SPSS version 15.A p value below 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: The mean age of circumcision was 2.9 ranging from 1 to 5 years. The prevalence of FGC was significantly higher (36.6%) in government schools than public (28.9%), private (5.1%) and religious (6.3%) schools. Likewise the prevalence of FGC was higher in parents with lower income (19.9%) group & low educational status of mothers (12.5%) and fathers (10.1%). vi The proportion of mothers deciding to perform FGC was higher (39%) than fathers (23.8%) and other relatives (22.9%).The vast majority (94.1%) of the girls' parents stated that FGC is harmful practice. Although most (94.6%) parents were aware of FGC complication, still about a quarter (25.8%) of them have circumcised their daughters. FGC had significantly association with ethnicity, education, occupation, income and cultural reasons given by the families. In the multivariate analysis, of these factors only the reason of being FGC painful and healthy procedure was found as a predictor of the practice of female circumcision (AOR=0.35; 95%=0.17 to 0.72). Conclusions: Despite a high level of knowledge regarding the complications of FGC and a high level of awareness, FGC practice is prevalent among primary schoolgirls in Addis Ababa and most of these circumcisions were performed by the decision of mothers so that health education for women through different women's forum and CBO (Idir, Mahiber) is recommended in order to bring significant behavioral change

description: Introduction: Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer among women globally and the second commonest cancer overall. In Africa, breast cancer was also the most commonly diagnosed cancer and the second leading cause of death among women in 2008. In Ethiopia it is also an emerging public health problem and top leading causes of cancer mortality and morbidity among women of reproductive age group. However, only few researches were done regarding knowledge, attitude and practice of breast cancer self-examination. Objective: To assess the knowledge, attitude and practice of breast self-examination among women aged 20-49 years in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, 2017. Methodology: A community based cross- sectional study was conducted with a sample of 630 women aged 20-49 years in Addis Ababa. A multi-stage sampling technique was applied to select the study participants. Four out of ten sub-cities were selected randomly. One woreda was randomly selected in each sub-cities and systematic random sampling technique was used to select households in each selected Woreda .If there are more than one woman in the selected household one of them were randomly selected. A pretested structured questionnaire was used to collect data. Likert's scale was applied to measure attitude and bloom cut classification score for knowledge score. Data was entered in to epidata and analyzed by (SPSS) software version 20. A Cross-tabulation was used to know the overall association of explanatory variables with breast self-examination. Bivariable and multi-variable binary logistic regression were also fitted to identify factors associated with breast self-examination practice. Result A total of 608 respondents participated in the study, of these only 155 (25.6%) of them had good knowledge and 53.4% had positive attitude towards breast self examination. Only 241 (39.6%) of the respondents had practiced BSE, from these study subjects only 96 (39.8%) of them practiced monthly. Occupational status and good knowledge of BSE were found to be significant association with the practice of breast self examination. Women of reproductive age group who are government employee were about 2 times more likely to practice breast self examination than those non-governmental employee [AOR=2.13, 95%, CI (1.19,3.84 ),p=0.011].Women who had good knowledge towards of breast self examination were 6 times more likely to practice BSE than those who had poor knowledge [AOR=5.99, 95%CI (4.1, 8.9), p=0.000] vii Conclusion and recommendation: knowledge and practice of breast self examination was low, even if majority of them had positive attitude. I suggest that the ministry of health and other concerned bodies should have to promote awareness creation for the community about breast cancer and BSE

description: This paper, titled "Revolutionizing Urban Mobility," focuses on data-driven traffic forecasting and management to address the challenge of sustainable urban transportation. It employs deep learning, particularly LSTM neural networks, to predict traffic conditions and reduce congestion. The research includes comprehensive literature surveys, highlighting the effectiveness of machine learning and deep learning in traffic forecasting. The proposed methodology, based on linear regression, offers promising results with low error rates. Overall, this paper presents a valuable contribution to enhancing urban mobility through data-driven approaches.

description: Back ground- "Reproductive health ... [implies that people] have the capability to reproduce and the freedom to decide if, when and how often to do so. Implicit in this last condition are the right of men and women to be informed and to have access to safe, effective, affordable and acceptable methods of family-planning of their choice ..." It is obvious that solutions are necessary to slow the rapid rate of population growth all over the world, in developing countries, as well as those in which people are not poverty stricken. One of the most popular solutions currently for decreasing the birth rate is to increase use of birth control and decrease nonuse rate. Objectives: To assess factors associated with non use of modern contraceptive methods among currently married women of reproductive age group (18-49 years age). Methods: Community based cross-sectional study was conducted in Kirkos sub-city, Addis Ababa city Administration from November 2009-June2010. Both quantitative and qualitative data collection method were used. Focus group discussion will be a qualitative method to complement the finding of the quantitative study. Data entry, data cleaning and analysis will be done by EPI INFO version 6 and analysis will be done using SPSS version 11 statistical package. Results: Of the total respondents one hundred thirty three (16.1%) had ever used MCM and 272(32.8%) were never user of MCM. The current contraceptive prevalence was found to be 51.1%. Most women used Injectable and OCP. The main reasons for nonuse MCM were desire to have more children followed by medical problem. Of current non user 53.3% had intended to use MCM in the future. It was found that all women 828(99.9%) had information about MCM. The main source of information for MCM was health workers. In multivariate analysis, statistically significant association were found between MCM non use and respondent age, children ever born, educational status of respondents, husband educational status, occupation of respondent, source of information, and husband approval of MCM (PV < 0.05). Concussion: Current CPR is relatively low in the sub-city; MCM should be distributed at community level especially those non clinical methods by using urban health extension workers.

description: In this paper we construct a new Type IIB background with an $AdS_4$ factor that preserves ${\cal N}=4$ Supersymmetry. This solution is obtained using a non-Abelian T-duality transformation on the Type IIA reduction of the $AdS_4\times S^7$ background. We interpret our configuration as a patch of a more general background with localised sources, dual to the renormalisation fixed point of a $T_ρ^{\hatρ} (SU(N))$ quiver field theory. This relates explicitly the $AdS_4$ geometry to a D3-D5-NS5 brane intersection, illuminating what seems to be a more general phenomenon, relating $AdS_{p+1}$ backgrounds generated by non-Abelian T-duality to Dp-D(p+2)-NS5 branes intersections.

description: Der Beitrag schließt an die Diskussion über die Auswirkungen homo- oder heterogener Gruppenzusammensetzung in teilautonomen Arbeitsgruppen an. Dabei geht er über die Erörterung eines "one best way" hinaus und lenkt den Blick auf die sozialen Prozesse innerhalb der Arbeitsgruppen. Basierend auf einer Fallstudie über ein Unternehmen, das teilautonome Gruppenarbeit sowohl auf der operativen wie auch auf der ersten Führungsebene einsetzt, wird eine mikropolitische Forschungsperspektive erarbeitet, die es erlaubt diese Eigendynamik der sozialen Prozesse innerhalb der Arbeitsgruppen mit der Art der von den Gruppen zu lösenden Aufgaben in Beziehung zu setzen. Es zeigt sich, dass heterogene Gruppenzusammensetzungen zumeist zu einer informellen Rehierarchisierung führen, die eine schnellere Entscheidungsfindung in Konfliktsituationen ermöglicht, aber auch ausgiebige fachliche Diskussionen innerhalb der Gruppe erschwert. Während bei Gruppen im operativen Bereich eine starke Ausrichtung der Gruppe erreicht wird, weil der Beitrag des Einzelnen zum Betriebsergebnis leichter nachvollziehbar ist, kommt es bei Gruppen im Führungsbereich leichter zu eskalierenden Machtkämpfen.
description: The paper refers to the discussion on the effects of homogeneous versus heterogeneous group compositions in partly autonomous work groups. It transcends the pursuit of finding a "one best way" and focuses on the social processes within the work group. Based on a case study in a company which employed partly autonomous work groups on the operational as well as on the lowest managerial level, a micropolitical perspective is elaborated, which allows to explain the dynamics of the social processes in conjunction with the tasks assigned to the groups. It is shown that the heterogeneous group composition facilitates an informal rehierarchisation within the work groups, which on the one hand leads to quicker decision-making in conflict situations, but on the other hand may obstruct technical discussions in the groups. While groups on the operational level are more easily lined up by the fact, that each member s contribution to the outcome can be easily observed, groups on the operational level show a stronger tendency towards escalating power struggles.

description: Wie wird der Schulische Heilpädagoge im seit dem Zürcher Volksschulgesetz von 2005 vorgeschriebenen integrativen Setting von der Klassenlehrkraft wahrgenommen? Anhand eines Samples von sechs Klassenlehrpersonen, die mit Schulischen Heilpädagogen im integrativen Setting zusammenarbeiten, werden in Halbstandardisierten Leitfadeninterviews (nach Flick) das Wissen über und der Erwartungshorizont an den „Schulischen Heilpädagogen“ von Klassenlehrpersonen exemplarisch erhoben. Einleitend wird das vom Schulgesetz, den kantonalen Verordnungen und den sich wandelnden Curricula der Hochschule für Heilpädagogik neue Berufsbild dargestellt. Über eine mehrstufige Inhaltsanalyse (nach Mayring) und eine Interpretation der Lehreraussagen wird die Schnittstelle Klassenlehrkraft – Schulischer Heilpädagoge eingehend ausgeleuchtet und Fragen für eine weitergehende Forschung auf grösserer Datenbasis formuliert.

description: Nicht nur in der Erwerbsarbeit, auch jenseits der Erwerbsarbeit in den Tätigkeitsfeldern des Bürgeren-gagements und in der Eigenarbeit haben sich Prozesse der Pluralisierung und Entgrenzung durchgesetzt. Dieser Wandel verlangt in der Praxis der Individuen nicht nur eine aktive Tätigkeitsgestaltung, sondern auch eine individualisierte Sinnbildung: Individuen können und müssen nicht nur immer wieder entsprechend sich wandelnder Arbeitsbedingungen entscheiden, zu welcher Zeit und an welchem Ort sie welcher Tätigkeit nachgehen, sie müssen auch den jeweiligen Sinngehalt der Tätigkeiten individuell bestimmen und neue Sinnmuster entwerfen. Die Bildung neuer Sinnmuster ist nicht mehr überwiegend durch die Sozialform der Tätigkeiten selbst determiniert, sondern abhängig von dem sozialen Feld, in dem diese Tätigkeiten durchgeführt werden sowie durch individuelle Motive, der biographischen Situation, der sozialen Lage usw. bestimmt. Dabei ist es empirisch eine offene Frage, in welcher Weise derartige Sinnmuster gebildet werden.
description: Processes of plurality and delemitation have been accomplished not only in gainful employment, outside of gainful employment in the occupation areas of citizien's commitment and do-it-yourselfwork. In the practice of individuals this change does not reguire an active work structuring, but an individualised meaning formation too: individuals not only have to decide along changing work conditions when and where they do what. They have to decide about the special meaning of their work and to create new meaning patterns. The formation of new meaning patterns is no longer determined by social form of work itsself, but depends on the social area, in which the work will be done, as well as on individual motives, the biographical and social situation etc. It is an empirically open question, in which way the meaning patterns are created.
