Year: 2007

description: This paper's objective is to deal with the educational potentiality of media in the development of the communicative and participative competences which are clearly needed and an essential part of all civic education. After a description of the situation in Spain at present with reference to the absence of participation and its possible causes, the text refers to the support that educational policy has given to civic education in schools over the last 15 years, and which will, hopefully, help to improve the situation. Secondly, the paper deals with the relationship between media and citizen participation, and analyzes the situation of young Spaniards and their relationship with the media in an attempt to discover if, by using media and new media it would be possible to generate positive attitudes towards participation. Before the conclusions a practical case study where media have been used to motivate youth will be analyzed.

description: Quel impact la technologie numérique, omniprésente et en développement constant, a-t-elle réellement sur nos élèves, et qu’en savons-nous ? Pour un adolescent, évoluer dans un milieu scolaire en 2018 implique de savoir naviguer un univers social entièrement remanié par l’émergence de technologies modernes à visée récréative ou socialisante, mais dont on ne comprend pas encore l’ampleur de l’impact sur la santé des adolescents. La présente revue de littérature se focalise sur des troubles psychosociaux observables en milieu scolaire (le stress scolaire, l’anxiété, la dépression, les troubles de comportement et d’addiction) et interroge le rôle des nouveaux « mondes numériques » (réseaux sociaux, jeux vidéo, TIC, etc.) sur ces troubles, chez l’adolescent. Après avoir défini les troubles abordés (Chapitre 1), la présente étude propose une revue de littérature prenant en compte des études scientifiques ayant mis en lien santé mentale de l’adolescent et usages de technologie (Chapitre 3). Cette partie aborde les mécanismes qui sous-tendent les troubles internalisés définis au préalable, et les met en lien avec les risques inhérents à l’usage de la technologie (manque de sommeil, narcissisme, procrastination, etc.) et les facteurs de troubles propres à un milieu social académique (relations avec élèves, professeurs et parents, attentes, stress de performance, etc.). Cette mise en lien permet d’évaluer dans quelle mesure l’insertion constante des mondes numériques dans le milieu social peut réellement endommager la santé de l’élève, qu’il s’agisse de l’impact des réseaux sociaux sur le stress scolaire ou de problèmes d’addiction liés à une surconsommation de produits numériques. Le but est ici d’établir quels usages et quels comportements sont problématiques et dangereux pour la santé psychosociale des élèves, ainsi que de relever quels symptômes permettent d’identifier ces troubles avant que l’élève ne soit sévèrement atteint. C’est pourquoi la présente étude propose des solutions et des pistes de réflexion à considérer, notamment en se penchant sur le rôle des professeurs et la nécessité d’un cadre d’utilisation de la technologie à l’école (Chapitre 4). La conclusion se veut donc être un outil pédagogique permettant d’englober et de favoriser la compréhension de la thématique de l’élève face aux technologies, une problématique en constante évolution.
The Talk-and-Action Approach to Citizenship Education. An Outline of a Methodology of Critical Studies in Citizenship Education

Year: 2008

description: The present research on the development of citizenship education in (transformation) countries fails to ac-knowledge that systems of citizenship education are political organisations by nature. This research does not analyse citizenship education (CE) as a multi-level, multi-actor and multi-interest system with multiple envi-ronments. The diverse environmental and internal demands addressed to CE actors are also ignored. This paper sees CE as situated and developing in a tension field of diverse and contradicting demands to which each organised CE actor has to respond simultaneously. This especially holds for post-socialist transforma-tion countries but applies as well to “old” democracies which, like the aforementioned, are confronted with the challenges of Europeanisation and migration. A multi-level actor-centred approach, acknowledging actor-specific perspectives, as suggested in this article, is essential for understanding the complex interplay of demands and reactions (talk, decision and action) of different actors and hence the change of CE under the conditions of societal change or transformation.

title: Des einen Glück ist des anderen Neid?
Creators: name: Korger, Maria-Lisa
Year: 2022

description: Was ist Glück und was ist Neid? Ausgehend von diesen Fragen, gibt die Arbeit einen Überblick über eine Vielzahl an philosophischen und psychologischen Ansichten und Konzepten zu Glück und Neid, die von der Antike bis heute reichen. Dem fast ausschließlich positiv besetzten Begriff Glück wurde ein von den meisten Menschen als negativ konnotierter Begriff Neid gegenübergestellt. Ziel der Arbeit war es zudem, mittels vergleichender Literaturanalyse disziplinäre wie interdisziplinäre Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede herauszuarbeiten, die als Grundlage für die Lehrtätigkeit im Rahmen des Psychologie- und Philosophieunterrichts in österreichischen Schulen dienen können. Es zeigte sich, dass die beiden Begriffe in unterschiedlichem Ausmaß in den Disziplinen und Epochen behandelt werden. Während sie Gegenstand in zahlreichen philosophischen Konzepten sind, werden sie in der Psychologie jeweils nur in ausgewählten Teilbereichen aufgegriffen. Vor allem die Ansichten der antiken Philosophie erwiesen sich nicht nur in der Philosophie, sondern zum Teil auch in der Psychologie als sehr einflussreich. Interdisziplinäre Gemeinsamkeiten konnten vereinzelt festgestellt werden – ebenso wie ein direkter Zusammenhang zwischen Glück und Neid, der sich allen voran durch den negativen Einfluss von Neid auf das Empfinden und Erfahren von Glück ergibt.
description: What is happiness and what is envy? Based on these questions, the thesis gives an overview of a variety of philosophical and psychological perspectives and concepts on happiness and envy, ranging from antiquity to nowadays. The concept of happiness, which has almost exclusively positive connotations, was contrasted with the concept of envy, which most people regard as having negative connotations. Furthermore, the aim of the thesis was to work out disciplinary as well as interdisciplinary similarities and differences by means of comparative literature analysis, which can serve as a basis for teaching in the context of psychology and philosophy classes in Austrian schools. As a result, it became apparent that the two terms are treated to different extents in the disciplines and epochs. While they are subject matter in numerous philosophical concepts, in psychology they are taken up only in selected sub-areas. In particular, the views of ancient philosophy proved to be very influential not only in philosophy, but also to some extent in psychology. Interdisciplinary commonalities could be found sporadically – as well as a direct connection between happiness and envy, which results first of all from the negative influence of envy on the feeling and experiencing of happiness.
Citizenship Education in Slovenia after the Formation of the Independent State

description: In the present article we first describe how citizenship education is positioned in the curriculum of pre-university Slovene education. We then analyse the influence of various pedagogical and other concepts in the last fifteen years on the formation of legal provisions and curricular solutions, as well as on actual citizen-ship instruction in the state school. We first establish how influence is exerted – or could be exerted – on citizenship education by the interests of the Roman Catholic Church such that its own subject of denomina-tional religious education is implemented in the state school, along with general implications regarding ques-tions of which values should form the basis of education in the state school. Recently the question of moral education and the educational concept in the state school has come to the fore, and with this also the ques-tion of universal or particular values. In the continuation we analyse how the prevailing permissive paradigm influenced the very concept and implementation of the subject of Ethics and Society in the 1990s, and from the end of the previous decade onwards – after the implementation of curricular reforms – how it has influ-enced the subject of Citizenship Educational and Ethics.

Citizenship Through Faith and Feelings: Defining Citizenship in Citizenship Education. An Exemplary Textbook Analysis
Creators: name: Zimenkova, Tatjana
Publisher: name: JSSE - Journal of Social Science Education
Year: 2008

description: This article describes the specifics of the definition of citizenship in citizenship education (CE). The ambiguity of understanding citizenship between status and active position is indicated and differentiate, and percep-tions of citizenship activity are revealed. The author proposes to build a typology of citizenship conceptions in CE, suggesting an analytical instrument for typology building (types of attitudes, reflected in and crucial for each conception of citizenship). Citizenship conceptions from two Russian textbooks are analysed in order to show reconstruction of their implicit meanings. A proposed analytical instrument for the typology building is applied to the reconstructed citizenship conceptions. The author proposes a demonstrated manner of analysis and typologisation as instruments for international studies on citizenship education.

description: We define and test $\mathrm{CP}$-even and $\mathrm{CP}$-odd partial differential widths for the process $τ\rightarrow Kππν_τ$ assuming that an intermediate heavy charged scalar contributes to the decay amplitude. Adopting a model-independent approach, we use a Monte Carlo simulation in order to study the number of events needed to recover information on the new physics from these observables. Our analysis of the $\mathrm{CP}$-odd observables indicates that the magnitude of $f_H η_P$, which is related to the new-physics contribution, can be recovered with an uncertainty smaller than $3%$ for $3\times 10^6$ events. This number of events would also allow one to retrieve certain parameters appearing in the SM amplitude at the percent level. In addition, we discuss the possibility of using the proposed observables to study specific models involving two Higgs doublets, such as the aligned two-Higgs-doublet model (A2HDM). This analysis is undertaken within the context of the upcoming Super B-factories, which are expected to provide a considerably larger number of events than that which was supplied by the B-factories. Moreover, a similar set of observables could be employed to study other decay modes such as $τ\rightarrowπππν_τ,\,τ\rightarrow KKπν_τ$ and $τ\rightarrow KKKν_τ$.

description: Protected cultivation, such as greenhouse farming, has emerged as a critical tool in addressing the global demand for fresh produce while prioritizing sustainability. It provides a controlled environment that shield crops from external factors like harsh weather, pests and diseases, resulting in improved crop quality, increased yields and reduced resource consumption. Soilless growing techniques, like Dutch Bucket technology, have played a transformative role in this paradigm shift. Dutch Bucket hydroponics, originating in the Netherlands during the 1960s, offers a space-efficient and highly efficient method for cultivating high-value crops, particularly indeterminate vine crops such as tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers. This system utilizes individual containers filled with inert growing mediums like clay balls, ensuring stability and aeration. Drip irrigation delivers precise amounts of water and nutrient solutions directly to plant roots, with excess solutions being re-circulated to minimize waste. Regular monitoring of nutrient solutions, pH and electrical conductivity helps maintain optimal plant growth. The article underscores the significance of water quality, sanitation, and temperature control within the Dutch Bucket system, along with the need for proper training for operators and growers. Dutch Bucket hydroponics represents a promising solution in addressing the world's agricultural challenges and advancing sustainable food production.
SDGs-related research and scientists' relational involvement with non-academic actors

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: This study aims first at exploring to what extent the alignment of SSH scientists’ research to the SDGs differs from those scientists whose research is not (or little) related to the SDGs. Given the importance of the challenges that SDGs pose to all 193 countries that agree in 2015 to support them, our study opens up an interesting research avenue. Despite not having any explicit incentive to do so, a large part of our sample of scientists have aligned their research agenda towards the SDGs. Moreover, two patterns of scientists have been identified, according to their level of engagement with the SDGs. Interestingly, our results suggest that a greater research alignment with SDGs implies a more active engagement with non-academic actors. Specifically, scientists whose research is SDG-related seems to participate more actively in relational involvement activities, namely, personnel mobility and research services. This has important implications for university policies; therefore, should universities aim at promoting societally relevant research and its uptake by societal actors, more coordinating efforts will be needed to strengthen the current top-down approach and its effect on scientists’ academic practices.

description: This paper expands on the previously described reflectionless filters - that is, filters having, in principle, identically-zero reflection coefficient at all frequencies - by introducing a wide variety of new reflectionless structures that were not part of the original publication. In addition to extending the lumped-element derivation to include transmission line filters, this is achieved by the introduction of a novel method wherein the left- and right-hand side stop-band terminations are coupled to each other using a two-port sub-network. Specific examples of the sub-network are given which increase the stop-band attenuation per filter cell and steepen the cutoff response without disrupting the reflectionless property or increasing the insertion-loss in the pass-band. It is noteworthy that a common feature of all the structures derived by these methods is that most, if not all, of the reactive elements are of equal normalized value. This greatly simplifies the tuning requirements, and has facilitated their implementation as monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs). A number of examples of MMIC reflectionless filters constructed in this way are presented and their results compared to the theory.

description: La pédagogie de projet est souvent montrée en exemple pour augmenter la motivation des élèves et donner du sens à l’enseignement car ces deux facteurs sont connus pour augmenter fortement l’apprentissage. Ce travail de mémoire suggère que la pédagogie de projet est particulièrement efficace pour soutenir l’apprentissage des élèves dans le cadre de la physique, et plus particulièrement en astronomie. Cette étude compare deux séquences d’enseignement différentes mais ayant pour but commun de faire apprendre aux élèves certains rudiments de l’astronomie comme la classification des galaxies selon la séquence de Hubble et les bases de l’observation astronomique. L’une des séquence est une séquence classique, où l’enseignant est le détenteur du savoir et alterne cours, exercices et travaux pratiques. L’autre séquence possède les mêmes objectifs d’apprentissage mais est basée sur la pédagogie de projet. Au cours du projet, les élèves ont dû passer commande de photographies de galaxies à l’observatoire du Gornergrat, traiter les images reçues, puis les classer. L’étude a porté sur six classes de première année de ECG et de Maturité venant de deux gymnases différents, et sous la responsabilité de deux enseignants différents. La comparaison des deux séquences et des multiples classes a été effectuée à l’aide d’une analyse statistique basée sur des réponses à un questionnaire posé en début et fin de séquence. Les résultats de notre étude confirment que la pédagogie de projet favorise l’apprentissage et elle tend à réduire les disparités entre élèves.

We investigate their dependence on the pion mass and compare this with Lattice QCD calculations. We also compare our method with the standard Luscher approach, and solve the inverse problem to obtain the K-pi phase shifts from these "synthetic" lattice data.

description: Web 2.0 is one of the later innovations in Internet-related developments. The term expresses less a new piece of technology but more new ways of using the Net; weblogs and social networks like myspace are among the most prominent examples of Web 2.0. Its catchphrase may be: you control your own data. Web 2.0 gimmicks bear new possibilities for young people, which are the heaviest users of the Internet, not only to get political information, but also to show and share their views and opinions. It also gives politicians a way of presenting themselves without any interference. In both ways it can contribute to a process of making politics visible. Besides assessing some data about political Internet usage the article tries to show some opportunities as well as problems related to making politics visible in Web 2.0.

description: As an alternative but unified and more fundamental description for quantum physics, Feynman path integrals generalize the classical action principle to a probabilistic perspective, under which the physical observables' estimation translates into a weighted sum over all possible paths. The underlying difficulty is to tackle the whole path manifold from finite samples that can effectively represent the Feynman propagator dictated probability distribution. Modern generative models in machine learning can handle learning and representing probability distribution with high computational efficiency. In this study, we propose a Fourier-flow generative model to simulate the Feynman propagator and generate paths for quantum systems. As demonstration, we validate the path generator on the harmonic and anharmonic oscillators. The latter is a double-well system without analytic solutions. To preserve the periodic condition for the system, the Fourier transformation is introduced into the flow model to approach a Matsubara representation. With this novel development, the ground-state wave function and low-lying energy levels are estimated accurately. Our method offers a new avenue to investigate quantum systems with machine learning assisted Feynman Path integral solving.

description: Purpose of the Review: Smart sex toys (‘teledildonics’), are digitally enabled haptic devices designed for sexual or erotic stimulation. Devices may conform to conventional sex toy design (e.g. dildoes) or take other forms. Their primary purpose is to provide sexual or erotic stimulation through the networked haptic function. Here, we present a narrative review of academic work in which we aimed to synthesise current lines of inquiry relating to cultural impacts and research on risks and benefits. Recent Findings. Forty-one articles were included, published between 2011 and 2024. The articles focused on: prevalence and context of smart sex use; considerations on whether smart sex toys have potential to disrupt normative gendered sexual scripts; whether smart sex toys have potential to expand or change people’s expectations for sex; the potential for harm and non-consensual use; the politics of data security; and the possibilities for smart sex toys to enhance sexual wellbeing. Summary: Smart sex toys may create new ways for people to explore sexual connection and experience, including people with limited mobility. Data security and consensual use should be considered in product development.

description: Critically ill mechanically ventilated patients routinely receive aerosol delivery of epoprostenol by continuous infusion of the nebulizer by syringe pump. This procedure is ‘off-label’ as no FDA approved drug presently exists. Without standardized protocols, therapy is based on prior experience with bronchodilators, limited studies of delivery systems and anecdotal clinical trials. Current protocols based upon patient body weight and drug concentration determines the infusion rate of drug dose delivered to the nebulizer , which is only distantly related to dose delivered to the lung and may be altered by many factors. This paper reviews the background of this technique as well as current methods of managing drug delivery, technical challenges, and limitations. A recent advance in aerosol laboratory bench testing, using radiolabeled aerosols, is presented to reveal important factors defining delivery. Off-label use of continuously nebulized prostacyclin in the ICU lacks the support of large clinical trials needed for FDA clearance. However, comprehensive bench studies afford the potential for clinicians to better understand and manage therapy at a level above simple dosing of the nebulizer by body weight. New research techniques are enhancing our basic comprehension of the interaction between aerosol devices and the mechanical ventilator.
L'éducation civique dans l'école française (Citizenship Education in French School)

Year: 2003

description: Since ten or fifteen years ago, civic education is coming back to the foreground of the news. It is now an obligatory school subject in primary and lower secondary school, the college, namely nine years of a schooling which it is as a rule the same for all pupils. The author introduces programmes from primary school and from the college. However, between official programmes and what is effectively taught, differences are often very large. What some primary school's teachers say about what they teach and about college's pupils provides another point of view on civic education. A short evocation of the history of civic education in French school puts in prospect actual choices and specific problems of this school subject, in particularly its difficult stabilisation. The article closes with the presentation of some tensions and contradictions which are necessary to take into account to think and to implement civic education.

description: An $L$-space link is a link in $S^3$ on which all large surgeries are $L$-spaces. In this paper, we initiate a general study of the definitions, properties, and examples of $L$-space links. In particular, we find many hyperbolic $L$-space links, including some chain links and two-bridge links; from them, we obtain many hyperbolic $L$-spaces by integral surgeries, including the Weeks manifold. We give bounds on the ranks of the link Floer homology of $L$-space links and on the coefficients in the multi-variable Alexander polynomials. We also describe the Floer homology of surgeries on any $L$-space link using the link surgery formula of Ozsváth and Manolescu. As applications, we compute the graded Heegaard Floer homology of surgeries on 2-component $L$-space links in terms of only the Alexander polynomial and the surgery framing, and give a fast algorithm to classify $L$-space surgeries among them.

Hidden order and flux attachment in symmetry protected topological phases: a Laughlin-like approach

description: Topological phases of matter are distinct from conventional ones by their lack of a local order parameter. Still in the quantum Hall effect, hidden order parameters exist and constitute the basis for the celebrated composite-particle approach. Whether similar hidden orders exist in 2D and 3D symmetry protected topological phases (SPTs) is a largely open question. Here we introduce a new approach for generating SPT groundstates, based on a generalization of the Laughlin wavefunction. This approach gives a simple and unifying picture of some classes of SPTs in 1D and 2D, and reveals their hidden order and flux attachment structures. For the 1D case, we derive exact relations between the wavefunctions obtained in this manner and group cohomology wavefunctions, as well as matrix product state classification. For the 2D Ising SPT, strong analytical and numerical evidence is given to show that the wavefunction obtained indeed describes the desired SPT. The Ising SPT then appears as a state with quasi-long-range order in composite degrees of freedom consisting of Ising-symmetry charges attached to Ising-symmetry fluxes.
Nature and Raman signatures of the Higgs amplitude mode in the coexisting superconducting and charge-density-wave state

description: We investigate the behavior of the Higgs (amplitude) mode when superconductivity emerges on a preexisting charge-density-wave state. We show that the weak overdamped square-root singularity of the amplitude fluctuations in a standard BCS superconductor is converted in a sharp, undamped power-law divergence in the coexisting state, reminiscent of the Higgs behavior in Lorentz-invariant theories. This effect reflects in a strong superconducting resonance in the Raman spectra, both for an electronic and a phononic mechanism leading to the Raman visibility of the Higgs. In the latter case, our results are relevant to the interpretation of the Raman spectra measured experimentally in NbSe2.

Civic, Legal and Social Education in French Secondary School: Questions About a New Subject
Creators: name: Tutiaux-Guillon, Nicole
Publisher: name: JSSE - Journal of Social Science Education
Year: 2003

description: In summer 1999, a new compulsory subject was introduced in French upper secondary school: civic, legal and social education (éducation civique, juridique et sociale or ECJS). This teaching has been introduced as an answer to problems resulting from social and cultural changes in secondary education, from growing indifference to politics and from debates about citizenship. The curriculum in ECJS, through contents based on concepts and social and political controversies, and through pedagogy based on debates, upsets traditional secondary teaching. What is taught and what is learnt differ a lot form one classroom to another. The thesis presented in this paper asserts that this subject shows such an heterogeneity not only because it is new, but also because the three actors in the project, the institution, the teachers and the students, refer ECJS to legitimacies and to contents that do not coincide. The institution refers largely to politics and citizenship, the teachers to school difficulties and school knowledge, the students to their personal experience and common sense. This interpretation calls for discussion.

The Visual Unconscious: The Latency of Art and Orality in Stein, Burroughs, Ballard and Coupland
Creators: name: Lloyd, Declan
Publisher: name: Lancaster University
Year: 2020

description: This thesis explores the latent presence of 20th century visual art in the literature of a number of seminal authors from the Modernist period onwards. The term ‘latency’ denotes the more underlying, hidden presence of art, beyond the ‘manifest’ text, and also conveys the largely psychoanalytic approach adopted throughout. In conjunction with this, I explore how and why this latency often appears alongside emergent patterns and characteristics of orality, as explicated by theorists like Marshall McLuhan and Walter J. Ong. Orality is a term used to distinguish cultures of a non-literate mentality, who reside in an entirely different order of consciousness, and this thesis explores some of the key aesthetic traits of this mentality as they appear within both art and literature, showing affinities across these forms. I show how orality is synonymous with the so-called ‘primitive’ mentality which inspired a great many artists and movements of the twentieth century and beyond, and which culminated in the emergence of Primitivism. Primitivism had a seismic influence on many artistic and literary movements and led to a suffusion of the oral world throughout the twentieth century and beyond. By examining the work of authors who are strongly influenced by art and artists, often collaborating or working closely with them, or sometimes even venturing into visual art themselves, I show how the traits of orality can still be felt many years after the peak of the Primitivist movement. This perhaps confirming McLuhan’s belief in a long awaited, inevitable return to orality, as we move ever deeper into the electronic age. In order to trace such a wide-reaching suffusion, I look to a range of authors who are all influenced heavily by different artists and movements, all from different periods. For Gertrude Stein this is Cubism and especially the work of Pablo Picasso, for William Burroughs it is the quasi-occult art, calligraphies and permutations of Brion Gysin, for J. G. Ballard it is the European Surrealists, and particularly the paranoiac-critical artwork of Salvador Dalí, and for Douglas Coupland it is Pop Art and the work of Andy Warhol. All of these authors are consciously appropriating, adopting and transposing art within their texts, often as a means to channel a preexisting philosophy or to provide a newfound means of expanding upon their own authorial hermeneutic. I explore how the latent presence of art can take many forms, from inheriting and transposing the aesthetic styles, methods and ideas of an artist into literature, to adopting the overarching philosophies and ideologies of entire movements.

description: The study of dynamics in closed quantum systems has recently been revitalized by the emergence of experimental systems that are well-isolated from their environment. In this paper, we consider the closed-system dynamics of an archetypal model: spins near a second order quantum critical point, which are traditionally described by the Kibble-Zurek mechanism. Imbuing the driving field with Newtonian dynamics, we find that the full closed system exhibits a robust new phenomenon -- dynamic critical trapping -- in which the system is self-trapped near the critical point due to efficient absorption of field kinetic energy by heating the quantum spins. We quantify limits in which this phenomenon can be observed and generalize these results by developing a Kibble-Zurek scaling theory that incorporates the dynamic field. Our findings can potentially be interesting in the context of early universe physics, where the role of the driving field is played by the inflaton or a modulus.

Economic Education in Germany
Creators: name: Weber, Birgit
Publisher: name: JSSE - Journal of Social Science Education

description: It is rather difficult to describe economic education in Germany: Due to German federalism the sixteen German Länder are independent in terms of educational policy. Thus the German educational system differs slightly from Land to Land, even more heterogenous is the situation of economic education. With regard to this it is impossible to give a detailed picture of the whole, but it is useless to present the situation in only one land. This report tries to do the impossible by giving a rough overview of the situation of economic education in Germany at school as well as at university. Above all it is concerned with outlining the gap between claim and reality of economic education. A summary about the main topics of the didactic discussion can reflect contents and methods, which influence the syllabus construction.

description: We unravel the correlated quantum quench dynamics of a single impurity immersed in a bosonic environment confined in an one-dimensional double-well potential. A particular emphasis is placed on the structure of the time-evolved many-body wave function by relying on a Schmidt decomposition whose coefficients directly quantify the number of configurations that are macroscopically populated. For a non-interacting bosonic bath and weak postquench impurity-bath interactions, we observe the dynamical formation of a two-fold fragmented many-body state which is related to intra-band excitation processes of the impurity and manifests as a two-body phase separation (clustering) between the two species for repulsive (attractive) interactions. Increasing the postquench impurity-bath coupling strength leads to the destruction of the two-fold fragmentation since the impurity undergoes additional inter-band excitation dynamics. By contrast, a weakly interacting bath suppresses excitations of the bath particles and consequently the system attains a weakly fragmented many-body state. Our results explicate the interplay of intra- and inter-band impurity excitations for the dynamical generation of fragmented many-body states in multi-well traps and for designing specific entangled impurity states.

description: The following essay gives an overview of the development of civic education at German schools in the 20th century. This is based on the study of German contributions to the international comparative project "Civic Education" within the scheme of the International Association for Evaluation of Educational achievement (IEA), which were published internationally and by the German project group. Essential empirical findings are taken into account to describe civic education in Germany in an international comparison. This article helps for a better understanding of civic education in Germany under both a historical and comparative perspective.

title: Beteiligungsmotive von Umweltaktivist*innen in Österreich an den Fallbeispielen Besetzung der Hainburger Au 1984 und Fridays for Future Austria
Creators: name: Schneider, Nora

description: In dieser Masterarbeit werden die vielfältigen Beteiligungsmotive und Faktoren, die zu umweltaktivistischem Engagement in Österreich führen können, ermittelt. Dies wurde anhand der Fallbeispiele Besetzung der Hainburger Au 1984 und Fridays for Future (FFF) Austria untersucht. Wenn wir wissen, warum sich manche Menschen umweltaktivistisch engagieren, kann dieses Wissen genutzt werden, mehr Menschen davon zu überzeugen sich einzusetzen. Die beiden Fallbeispiele wurden gewählt, da FFF Austria erstmals seit der erfolgreichen und mobilisierungsstarken Besetzung der Hainburger Au, tausende Menschen motiviert für die Umwelt auf die Straße zu gehen. Durch den erstmaligen Vergleich dieser beiden Bewegungen kann festgestellt werden, ob es zu einem Wandel hinsichtlich der Beteiligungsmotive gekommen ist. Es wurden empirische Daten anhand Leitfadeninterviews gesammelt und dabei folgende Motive bei Mitgliedern beider Umweltbewegungen festgestellt: Ausdruck von Kritik an Gesellschaft, Wirtschaft oder Politik, Notwendigkeit zu handeln, lokale Veränderungen und globaler Wandel. Zusätzlich wurden bei den FFF Austria Aktivist*innen die nachstehenden Motive eruiert: Gewissensentlastung, neue soziale Kontakte, grüne Jobmöglichkeiten und Bewusstsein schaffen.
description: In this master thesis, the diverse participation motives and factors that can lead to environmental activist engagement in Austria are identified. This was examined using the case studies of the occupation of the Hainburger Au in 1984 and Fridays for Future (FFF) Austria. If we know why some people engage in environmental activism, this knowledge can be used to convince more people to get involved. The two case studies were chosen because FFF Austria motivated thousands of people to take to the streets for the environment for the first time since the successful and mobilizing occupation of the Hainburger Au. By comparing these two movements for the first time, it is possible to determine whether there has been a change with regard to participation motives. Empirical data was collected using guided interviews and the following motives were found among members of both environmental movements: Expression of criticism of society, the economy, or politics, need to act, local change, and global transformation. In addition, the following motives were elicited from FFF Austria activists: Relief of conscience, new social contacts, green job opportunities and creating awareness.

description: Die Übersetzungsbranche sieht sich mit einem technologischen und prozesstechnischen Wandel konfrontiert, der rasant vorangetrieben wird. Die vorliegende Arbeit greift diesen Wandel auf und beschäftigt sich mit den grundsätzlichen Überlegungen, maschinelle Übersetzung in Übersetzungsbüros einzusetzen, da dieser Aspekt bei Übersetzungsbüros in anderen Studien noch zu wenig behandelt wurde. Die vorliegende Arbeit setzt sich somit zum Ziel, die Frage, welche Überlegungen und Prozesse der Nutzung maschineller Übersetzung in Übersetzungsbüros zugrunde liegen, zu beantworten. Zur Beantwortung dieser Frage wurden halbstandardisierte Interviews mit in Übersetzungsbüros tätigen Personen geführt, die anschließend transkribiert wurden. Zu den Themen, anhand derer die Transkripte anschließend kodiert wurden, zählen unter anderem Pre- und Post-Editing, Schnelligkeit, Einfluss der Zertifizierung und Preis. Die daraus gewonnenen Coding-Ergebnisse wurden gruppiert dargestellt, um die Anonymität der befragten Personen und Unternehmen gewährleisten zu können. Die Auswertung der Ergebnisse ergab, dass MÜ in Übersetzungsbüros hauptsächlich aus Kostengründen und für eine schnellere Bearbeitung eingesetzt wird.
description: The language industry is undergoing a technological change, which also affects translation agencies and their work. This Master’s thesis picks up on this trend and focuses on translation agencies and their decisions to use machine translation (MT). It also aims to answer the research question on why MT is used in translation agencies and which processes this usage of MT is based on. For this purpose, six semi-structured interviews were conducted and subsequently transcribed. The transcripts were then coded based on several categories, e.g. pre-editing, post-editing, price, speed and influence of certifications on MT usage. The results of this coding process were then grouped thematically in order to protect the identity of the persons interviewed. The analysis of the results showed that the main reasons for translation agencies to use MT are being able to offer lower prices and to speed up translation turnaround time.
