description: Mit den Skalen lassen sich Überzeugungen subjektiver Kontrollierbarkeit bzw. Kompetenzerwartungen in verschiedenen Anforderungssituationen erfassen, nämlich für die Schule, das Studium und das allgemeine Leben. Die Konzeption der Skalen erfolgte in Anlehnung an die sozial-kognitive Lerntheorie von Bandura (1977) und dem darin enthaltenen Konzept positiver Situations-Handlungs-Erwartungen. Das Verfahren liegt in drei bereichsspezifischen Versionen vor: (1) Schulspezifische Selbstwirksamkeit (WIRKSCHUL; k = 13); (2) Allgemeine Selbstwirksamkeit (WIRKALL; k = 20); von dieser Skala liegt eine Kurzform mit 10 Items vor (WIRKALL-K; modifizierte Nachfolgeversion: Skala zur Allgemeinen Selbstwirksamkeitserwartung SWE); (3) Studiumsspezifische Selbstwirksamkeit (WIRKSTUD; k = 7). Reliabilität: Zum Nachweis der Zuverlässigkeit wurde für verschiedene Stichproben die Retestreliabilität (rtt) bzw. Cronbachs Alpha ermittelt (.71 bis .89). Von 264 Auszubildenden liegen Retestwerte nach einem Jahr für die Skalen WIRKALL (rtt = .57) und WIRKALL-K (rtt = .54) vor. Validität: Das Verfahren besitzt inhaltlich-logische Gültigkeit. Zur internen Validierung wurden Korrelationen zu einer Reihe von anderen Eigenschaftskonstrukten berechnet. Aus den Zusammenhängen lässt sich eine Reihe von Validitätshinweisen gewinnen.
description: The scales can be used to record convictions of subjective controllability or expectations of competence in various requirement situations, namely for school, study and general life. The scales were designed in accordance with the social-cognitive learning theory of Bandura (1977) and the concept of positive situation-action expectations contained therein. The method is available in three area-specific versions: (1) School-specific self-efficacy (WIRKSCHUL; k = 13); (2) General self-efficacy (WIRKALL; k = 20); a short form of this scale with 10 items is available (WIRKALL-K; modified follow-up version: scale for general self-efficacy expectation SWE); (3) Study-specific self-efficacy (WIRKSTUD; k = 7) Reliability: To provide evidence of reliability, the retestreliability (rtt) or Cronbach's alpha was determined for various samples (.71 to .89). Retest values after one year are available for the REAL (rtt = .57) and REAL-K (rtt = .54) scales from 264 trainees. Validity: The procedure is valid in terms of content and logic. For internal validation, correlations to a number of other property constructs were calculated. From these correlations a number of validity clues can be obtained.

description: Large woody debris (LWD) exacerbates flood damages near civil structures and in urbanized areas and the awareness of LWD as a risk is becoming more and more relevant. The recruitment of “fresh” large woody debris has been documented to play a significant role of the total amount of wood transported during flood events in mountain catchments. Predominately, LWD recruitment due to hydraulic and geotechnical bank erosion and shallow landslides contribute to high volumes of wood during floods. Quantifying the effects of vegetation on channel and slope processes is extremely complex. This manuscript therefore presents the concepts that are being implemented in a new modelling framework that aims to improve the quantification of vegetation effects on LWD recruitment processes. One of the focuses of the model framework is the implementation of the effect of spatio-temporal distribution of root reinforcement in recruitment processes such as bank erosion and shallow landslides in mountain catchments. Further, spatio-temporal precipitation patterns will be considered using a probabilistic approach to account for the spatio-temporal precipitation variability to estimate a LWD recruitment correction coefficient. Preliminary results are herein presented and discussed in form of a case study in the Swiss Prealps.

description: Scrolling through a social media newsfeed has become almost ubiquitous. Yet, it remains unknown what specific post elements people pay attention to and whether this varies depending on how they access social media newsfeeds. In an eye-tracking experiment among university students (N = 201), we compare user attention to specific post elements like source, title, or picture, in a dynamic Facebook newsfeed by device (desktop vs. mobile) and smartphone usage environment (private vs. public). Significant attentional differences occur at the level of the newsfeed post elements. Users pay less attention to visual information on the mobile newsfeed and more attention to textual post elements in a public setting.

description: Reading plays a pivotal role in shaping the perceptual makeup of young children, influencing various cognitive processes crucial for their development. This abstract examines the multifaceted impact of reading on the perceptual development of children, encompassing cognitive, emotional, and social dimensions firstly, reading facilitates cognitive growth by enhancing perceptual skills such as visual discrimination, pattern recognition, and spatial awareness. Through exposure to diverse textual and pictorial stimuli, children refine their ability to distinguish between shapes, colors, and objects, laying the foundation for complex cognitive processes later in life secondly, reading fosters emotional intelligence by exposing children to diverse characters, situations, and perspectives. Through empathetic engagement with fictional narratives, children develop a nuanced understanding of emotions, empathy, and interpersonal relationships, crucial for navigating social interactions furthermore, reading cultivates social awareness by introducing children to cultural diversity, societal norms, and ethical dilemmas. By exploring narratives set in different contexts, children develop a broader worldview, empathy towards others, and critical thinking skills necessary for navigating an increasingly interconnected world however, the impact of reading on young children's perceptual makeup is contingent upon various factors, including the quality and quantity of reading experiences, parental involvement, and socio-economic background. Additionally, individual differences in cognitive abilities and learning styles influence how children perceive and interpret textual information.In conclusion, reading serves as a catalyst for the holistic development of young children, shaping their perceptual makeup in cognitive, emotional, and social domains. Understanding the profound influence of reading on children's perceptual development can inform educational practices, parental guidance, and policy initiatives aimed at fostering lifelong literacy and well-being.

description: In cancer research there is much interest in building and validating outcome predicting outcomes to support treatment decisions. However, because most outcome prediction models are developed and validated without regard to the causal aspects of treatment decision making, many published outcome prediction models may cause harm when used for decision making, despite being found accurate in validation studies. Guidelines on prediction model validation and the checklist for risk model endorsement by the American Joint Committee on Cancer do not protect against prediction models that are accurate during development and validation but harmful when used for decision making. We explain why this is the case and how to build and validate models that are useful for decision making.

gasification

description: The floating fixed bed wood gasifier has a potential to use low-cost residues from agriculture and forestry. Those feedstocks often contain relevant amounts of potassium salts that are known to lower the ash melting point and to catalytically accelerate the Boudouard reaction, which is one of the main reactions in the gasification process. The influence of varying amounts and types of potassium salts on the reaction rate of the Boudouard reaction was quantified in previous works. Basing on these findings, an ASPEN-Plus®-based tool (SBR-Sim 3.0) was developed to simulate the product gas composition and temperature profile in the floating fixed bed gasifier, caused by potassium-induced changes of the reaction kinetics of the Boudouard reaction. The main findings from the simulations were that the CO content of the product gas and the carbon conversion rate can be increased when increasing the reaction rate of the Boudouard reaction up to a factor of two, thus improving product gas quality. With a higher enforcement of the reaction rate of the endothermic Boudouard reaction, the reaction lowers the overall temperature in the reactor, thus leading to undesirably increased CO2 output. Conclusions are drawn on how the potassium content of potassium-containing feedstock will influence product gas quality and temperature profile in the reactor to predict gasification behavior by analyzing the chemical composition of the raw material.

description: The purpose of this study was (1) accurately estimate longitudinal relationships between decimal age (i.e., chronological and relative) and performance in Australian female 100 m (N = 765) and 200 m (N = 428) Breaststroke swimmers (10-18 years); and (2) determine whether corrective adjustment procedures could remove Relative Age Effects (RAEs) in an independent sample of age-matched 100 m (N = 2,491) and 200 m (N = 1,698) state/national level Breaststroke swimmers. In Part 1, growth curve modelling quantified longitudinal relationships between decimal age and swimming performance. In Part 2, relative age distributions (Quartile 1-4) for "All", "Top 25%" and "10%" of swimming times were examined based on raw and correctively adjusted swim times for age-groups. Based on raw swim times, finding identified RAE effect sizes increased in magnitude (small-medium) with selection level ("All"-"Top 25%") in 12-14 years age-groups for both events. However, when correctively adjusted swim performances were examined, RAEs were primarily absent across all age-groups and selection levels. Using longitudinal reference data, corrective adjustment procedures removed relative age advantages in female youth Breaststroke performance. Removing the influence of relative age-related differences is predicted to improve the accuracy of identifying genuinely skilled youth swimmers.

description: Although complete genome sequences hold particular value for an accurate description of core genomes, the identification of strain-specific genes, and as the optimal basis for functional genomics studies, they are still largely underrepresented in public repositories. Based on an assessment of the genome assembly complexity for all lactobacilli, we used Pacific Biosciences' long read technology to sequence and de novo assemble the genomes of three Lactobacillus helveticus starter strains, raising the number of completely sequenced strains to 12. The first comparative genomics study for L. helveticus—to our knowledge—identified a core genome of 988 genes and sets of unique, strain-specific genes ranging from about 30 to more than 200 genes. Importantly, the comparison of MiSeq- and PacBio-based assemblies uncovered that not only accessory but also core genes can be missed in incomplete genome assemblies based on short reads. Analysis of the three genomes revealed that a large number of pseudogenes were enriched for functional Gene Ontology categories such as amino acid transmembrane transport and carbohydrate metabolism, which is in line with a reductive genome evolution in the rich natural habitat of L. helveticus. Notably, the functional Clusters of Orthologous Groups of proteins categories “cell wall/membrane biogenesis” and “defense mechanisms” were found to be enriched among the strain-specific genes. A genome mining effort uncovered examples where an experimentally observed phenotype could be linked to the underlying genotype, such as for cell envelope proteinase PrtH3 of strain FAM8627. Another possible link identified for peptidoglycan hydrolases will require further experiments. Of note, strain FAM22155 did not harbor a CRISPR/Cas system; its loss was also observed in other L. helveticus strains and lactobacillus species, thus questioning the value of the CRISPR/Cas system for diagnostic purposes. Importantly, the complete genome sequences proved to be very useful for the analysis of natural whey starter cultures with metagenomics, as a larger percentage of the sequenced reads of these complex mixtures could be unambiguously assigned down to the strain level.

description: For $N \geq 4$ we classify the $(N-3)$-degenerate smooth CR maps of the three-dimensional unit sphere into the $(2N-1)$-dimensional unit sphere. Each of these maps has image being contained in a five-dimensional complex-linear space and is of degree at most two, or equivalent to one of the four maps into the five-dimensional sphere classified by Faran. As a byproduct of our classification we obtain new examples of rational maps of degree three which are $(N-3)$-degenerate only along a proper real subvariety and are not equivalent to polynomial maps. In particular, by changing the base point, it is possible to construct new families of nondegenerate maps.

description: Over the past two decades, new and peripheral parties from both the left and right of the ideological spectrum challenged the virtual oligopoly of social democratic and liberal conservative parties in Western Europe. Within the extensive body of literature that investigates the drivers of these parties’ electoral successes, recent studies have shown that the convergence of mainstream parties on the left-right scale has played a crucial role. In this article, we build on these contributions to investigate whether cross-regional differences exist in the size of this convergence and in its impact on challengers’ success, focusing on two key policy issues for challenger parties, namely redistribution and immigration. Results from multilevel regression models on nine European democracies reveal that convergence is significantly more marked in Southern as compared to Northwestern Europe. We also find that mainstream convergence on redistributive issues positively affects challengers’ success in Southern Europe only. Conversely, mainstream convergence on immigration-related issues negatively impacts challengers’ success in both regions.

description: Das Verfahren "Situational Eight DIAMONDS" (S8*) erfasst allgemeingültige situationale Eigenschaften in Form von Selbsteinschätzungen. Es kann als Forschungsinstrument angewendet werden. Es handelt sich um eine Weiterentwicklung des Riverside Situational Q-Sort (RSQ) von Wagerman und Funder (2009). Das Verfahren umfasst die acht Dimensionen "Duty", "Intellect", "Adversity", "Mating", "pOsitivity", "Negativity", "Deception" und "Sociality" mit insgesamt 24 Items. Reliabilität: Die interne Konsistenz der Dimensionen bewegt sich zwischen Cronbachs Alpha = .61 und .90. Validität: Zur Überprüfung der Konstruktvalidität bzw. der nomologischen Validität wurde der Burt-Tucker-Kongruenz-Koeffizient berechnet, um die Ähnlichkeit zwischen dem RSQ-8 (Version 3.15) und S8* nachzuweisen. Jeweils 52 Korrelationen beider Verfahren wurden z-transformiert. Die Korrelationen des RSQ-8 (Version 3.15) und S8* erwiesen sich als nahezu identisch. Weiterhin wurden konfirmatorische Faktorenanalysen mit der Lang- und Kurzversion durchgeführt. Die Faktorladungen der S8*-Items sind allesamt hoch (.57-.92).
description: The measure named "Situational Eight DIAMONDS" (S8*) assesses generally valid situational characteristics in the form of self-assessments. It can be used as a research instrument. It is a modification of the Riverside Situational Q-Sort (RSQ) by Wagerman and Funder (2009). The procedure comprises the eight dimensions "Duty", "Intellect", "Adversity", "Mating", "pOsitivity", "Negativity", "Deception" and "Sociality" with a total of 24 items. Reliability: The internal consistency of the dimensions ranges between Cronbach's alpha = .61 and .90. Validity: To check construct validity or nomological validity, the Burt-Tucker congruence coefficient was calculated to prove the similarity between RSQ-8 (version 3.15) and S8*. In each case 52 correlations of both methods were z-transformed. The correlations of RSQ-8 (version 3.15) and S8* proved to be almost identical. Furthermore, confirmatory factor analyses were performed with the long and short version. The factor loads of the S8* items are all high (.57-.92).

description: Die Paranoia Checklist (PCL) dient dazu, die Auftretenshäufigkeit paranoider Gedanken, die Überzeugungsstärke und die Belastung durch den Gedanken zu erheben. Die Checkliste besteht aus 18 Items. Freeman et al. (2005) konstruierten die PCL auf Basis der Paranoia Scale (Fenigstein & Vanable, 1992), um explizit Verfolgungswahn zu erfragen sowie die Frequenz oder die Beeinträchtigung durch paranoide Gedanken zu erfassen. Die deutsche Version wurde in den vergangenen Jahren in verschiedenen Studien verwendet und liegt mittlerweile auch als State-Version vor. Reliabilität: Das Cronbachs Alpha beträgt Alpha = .86 in einer Patientenstichprobe. Validität: Eine hohe Korrelation mit dem PDI (Peters, Joseph & Garety, 1999) von r = .71 und der PANSS (Kay, Fiszbein & Opler, 1987) von r = .32 bis r = .52 sind Hinweise auf die Konstruktvalidität. Moritz und Kollegen (2012) fanden statt der angenommenen Eindimensionalität zwei Faktoren, die als "Unspezifisches Misstrauen" und "Klinische Paranoia" interpretiert werden können.

The checklist consists of 18 items. Freeman et al.

Moritz and colleagues (2012) found two factors instead of the assumed one-dimensionality, which can be interpreted as "unspecific distrust" and "clinical paranoia".

Type locality: Suruga Bay off Okitsu, 35°02.9'N, 138°34.6'E, Japan The four samples formed a single cluster closely related to Proscymnodon plunketi (GN5607) (Supplementary Material 1). Analysis of additional sequences of P. plunketi from New Zealand (the type locality) and the southern Madagascar Ridge further support that Z. ichiharai samples from Taiwan are more closely related to Proscymnodon than Zameus squamulosus (Figure 3). Taxonomic investigation of this species is currently underway to clarify the generic relationships of the genera Zameus and Proscymnodon. This species had not been previously recorded from Taiwanese waters.

description: In this paper, we address the essential yet complex task of evaluating Recommender Systems (RecSys) across multiple datasets. This is critical for gauging their overall performance and applicability in various contexts. Owing to the unique characteristics of each dataset and the variability in algorithm performance, we propose the adoption of effect-size-based meta-analysis, a proven tool in comparative research. This approach enables us to compare a “treatment model” and a “control model” across multiple datasets, offering a comprehensive evaluation of their performance. Through two case studies, we highlight the flexibility and effectiveness of this method in multi-dataset evaluations, irrespective of the metric utilized. The power of forest plots in providing an intuitive and concise summarization of our analysis is also demonstrated, which significantly aids in the communication of research findings. Our work provides valuable insights into leveraging these methodologies to draw more reliable and validated conclusions on the generalizability and robustness of RecSys models.
