Thermal Conductivity Measurements at Cryogenic Temperatures: Hardware and Software Apparatus
Creators: name: Paccalini, Antonio

Publisher: name: INFN Open Access Repository
Year: 2008

description: An apparatus to measure the thermal conductivity of bulk samples at cryogenic temperatures is in use at LASA Laboratory since some years. The Magnex Scientific Ltd cryostat and the inner mechanical system realized at LASA, have maintained good performances during the time. On the contrary, the electrical connections have been damaged by the thermal cycles experienced, for this reason they have been replaced. The realization of the thermal sensors, AuFe (0.07% at.w.)-Cromel P thermocouples (TC), has been improved and standardized. A new electronic system, h/w and s/w, has been realized. The temperatures are acquired by a nanovoltmeter, while the measure parameters (pressures, cryogenic levels, etc) are acquired by a precision multiplexer. The acquisition, the storage and the readout of the data are managed in real time by LabView 8.5. The reliability of the measures and the quantity of the data have allowed a deeper study of instrumental phenomena as, for instance, the capacitive effect of the nitrogen level probe on the TC voltage and the relationship between the different thermal zero levels and the physical conditions of the apparatus.

description: In this paper we propose a new method to evaluate the longitudinal coupling impedance of a charged particle passing perpendicularly through the centre of a perfectly conducting annular ring. It is shown that the solution of the problem can be expressed as a double Neumann series, whose expansion coefficients can be easily computed. Moreover we show the causality of the wake field for a particle travelling at the speed of light.
title: Adolescent Peer Perceptions Reflected in the Yearbooks of Mormon Homosexual and Heterosexual Men
Creators: name: Pruden, David C.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2003

description: This study explored the peer perceptions of adolescent heterosexual males and their homosexual counterparts who had not disclosed their feelings of erotic same-sex attraction to their classmates. The study focused on members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, a conservative Christian denomination with clear doctrinal prohibitions against homosexual behavior. The handwritten messages from peers found in the senior high school yearbooks of 30 heterosexual and 30 same-sex attracted adolescent men were content analyzed to examine similarities and differences in the themes that emerged from the data.
The results indicated that there is a difference in the kind of activities that are common in the lives of these heterosexual and same-sex attracted males. The same-sex attracted men received messages predominately from female peers concerning their talent and themes connected with the arts. The heterosexual men received more of their messages from male peers addressing the topics of sports, recreation, and invitations to engage in shared activities. The research raises questions about the well being of young men who may not identify with most of the dominant images of masculinity available to them. The absence of an adequate cultural script for same-sex attracted youth who must reconcile their sexual feelings with the beliefs of their conservative religious traditions is discussed.

description: Dieser Beitrag befasst sich mit der Frage, wo die Probleme bei der Planung, Zusammenstellung und Nutzung der auf dem Internet basierenden Lernangebote liegen. Hierzu wurde die Unterrichtseinheit ‚Auslandsstudium in Deutschland' entwickelt, die hinsichtlich der Theorie, Produktion und empirischen Erprobung betrachtet wird. Bei der Gestaltung der Lerneinheit wurde Wert auf eine Mischform der konstruktivistischen und instruktivistischen Annahmen gelegt. Die HTML-Seiten des Lernangebotes wurden unter Einbeziehung von Audio/Video-Materialien erstellt und in einer Studie hinsichtlich des Ausbaus der kritischen Kompetenz bei den Lernenden mit 41 ausländischen Studenten empirisch untersucht. Die Auswertung der Fragebögen zeigte eine sehr positive Bewertung der Lerneinheit durch die Testpersonen. Die breite Akzeptanz der einzelnen Module der Lerneinheit bestätigt den zielgruppengerechten Aufbau der Lerneinheit und den angemessenen Einsatz multimedialer Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten. Da es sich dabei um eine Pilotstudie handelt, ist die hohe Akzeptanz der Internetseite jedoch mit Vorsicht zu betrachten. Deswegen sollen die bei der formativen Evaluation aufgezeichneten Tendenzen im weiteren Evaluationsverlauf analytisch untersucht werden.

Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2002

description: The purpose of this study was to investigate and analyze the preparation of Family and Consumer Sciences (FACS) preservice teachers to teach FACS content using computer technology, a study that had not previously been undertaken. The focus of the study was FACS methods classes and activities, as reported by FACS teacher educators. A survey instrument was developed to determine how computer technology is incorporated into, modeled by the teacher, and required of students in FACS methods courses. The support FACS teacher educators receive from their college or university for teaching with technology, teacher educators' perceived computer skill and comfort levels, and importance placed by teacher educators on technology in secondary and college methods courses were also investigated. Respondents were asked their knowledge of the International Society for Technology in Education technology standards for teachers and their perceptions of preservice students' abilities to meet those standards.
The survey was prepared in both printed/mailed and on-line formats to investigate the reliability of using the Internet to conduct survey research with this population. The survey was sent to 208 teacher educators nationwide and information was obtained from 86 respondents for a 41% response rate.
Eleven research questions were answered. FACS teacher educators felt the inclusion of computer technology in both secondary classrooms and their own classrooms was important. While the majority reported average computer skills, they expressed confidence in their ability to teach and demonstrate technology in the classroom. FACS teacher educators were not aware of the ISTE standards but still rated their preservice students high on most standards.
Four hypotheses were tested. No differences were found in reported preservice student computer technology abilities and characteristics of the college or university, FACS department, or teacher educator characteristics. There were no differences in responses and characteristics of teacher educators who completed the survey in the print/mailed format and those completing it on-line. Statistically significant differences were found in response rates for printed/mailed versus on-line surveys. FACS teacher educators were more likely to return surveys they received through the mail than complete surveys available on-line. Implications for teacher educators, administrators, and professional organizations are drawn.

title: INTERMED - Zur Konzeption eines interkulturellen Lern- programms für Deutsch als Fachsprache im Bereich Medizin (Chirurgie)
Creators: name: Glardon, Carolina
Publisher: name: Universitäts- und Landesbibliothek Darmstadt
Year: 2023

description: Im Rahmen des Online-Projektes uni-deutsch.de am Multimedia Forschungs- und Entwicklungslabor des Departments für Kommunikation und Sprachen der Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München wird ein multimediales Fachsprachenprogramm zur Studienbegleitung ausländischer Studierender und Wissenschaftler der Humanmedizin an deutschen Hochschulen entwickelt. Der erste Teil dieses Beitrags beschreibt das Konzept des Programms INTERMED. In diesem Lernprogramm wird fachsprachliches Wissen kontextuell über den fachlichen Lehrinhalt vermittelt, der sich auf praxisrelevante und situationsadäquate Inhalte der jeweiligen medizinischen Teildisziplinen bezieht. Neben strukturellen Aspekten werden auch kommunikativ-funktionale und soziokulturelle Dimensionen der Fachsprache (vgl. Oksaar 1988; Schröder 1991; Baumann/Kalverkämper 1992; Kalverkämper 1998) berücksichtigt. Das Konzept der Interkulturalität als übergeordnetes Lernziel des Programms drängt konventionelles fachsprachliches Lernen nicht in den Hintergrund, sondern bettet dieses in einen sinnvollen kulturellen Gesamtzusammenhang ein. Es werden neue Perspektiven der Fachsprache Medizin [1] erschlossen und dadurch bislang vernachlässigte Aspekte in den Vordergrund gestellt. Der Einsatz der neuen Medien als Arbeitsmittel in Studium, Forschung und Lehre ermöglicht eine realitätsnahe Aufbereitung, Vermittlung und Aneignung fach- bzw. wissenschaftssprachlicher Kompetenzen (vgl. Issing/Klimsa 2002; Kerres 2001; Schulmeister 1997). Dabei wird versucht, das Mediensystem zunehmend als kreatives Werkzeug zur Konstruktion und Kommunikation von Wissen einzusetzen. Dies wird im Folgenden exemplarisch an einem Werkzeug zur Auseinandersetzung mit eigenen und fremden Körperbildern aufgezeigt. Der zweite Teil des Beitrags skizziert den Teilbereich "Chirurgie" sowie die Ergebnisse einer empirischen prozessorientierten Evaluation dieses Lernmoduls durch eine deskriptiv-explorative Befragung. Nach der subjektiven Einstellungsmessung der Lerner weist die Bewertung der inhaltlichen und medientechnischen Gestaltung des Programms ein sehr hohes Akzeptanzniveau auf und kann tendenziell als richtungsweisend für die Weiterentwicklung des Gesamtmoduls "Medizin" gelten.

description: Angesichts der Tatsache, dass Metaphern nicht nur Bestandteil der Poesie, der Werbesprache und der Komik sind, sondern auch die Alltagskommunikation maßgeblich prägen, sind sie für die Fremdsprachendidaktik von höchster Relevanz. In dem vorliegenden Beitrag werden Grundlagen und Funktionen von alltagssprachlichen Metaphern aufgezeigt. Ein besonderes Augenmerk liegt dabei auf dem kognitiven Potential von Metaphern. Die kognitive Metapherntheorie von Lakoff & Johnson (1980) vertritt die Annahme, dass Metaphern als integraler Bestandteil der alltäglichen Kommunikation Wahrnehmung, Denken und auch das Handeln des Menschen beeinflussen. Auf diesen Ansatz wird in dem vorliegenden Beitrag vertieft Bezug genommen. Zudem werden die kulturelle Relevanz von Metaphern und ihre Bedeutung für den Fremdsprachenunterricht skizziert. Der Artikel liefert einen Überblick über jüngste Forschungsprojekte, welche insbesondere die interkulturelle Bedeutung von Metaphorisierungsprozessen in den Vordergrund stellen. Abschließend werden daraus abzuleitende Konsequenzen für die Fremdsprachendidaktik vertieft und Impulse für den Einsatz alltagssprachlicher Metaphern im Unterricht gegeben.
title: Evaluating a Financial Assessment Tool: The Financial Checkup
Creators: name: Johnson, Alena C.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2001

description: The purpose of this study was to evaluate The Financial Checkup program. The program consisted of a booklet called The Financial Checkup and a 1-1 y, hour workshop explaining the booklet. The booklet helps individuals evaluate their financial situation on an annual basis. It includes a net worth statement, an income and expense statement, financial ratios, a revolving savings worksheet, a retirement worksheet, a life insurance worksheet, a financial goals worksheet, and a budget worksheet. The Financial Checkup covers the topics of debt, savings, retirement, taxes, insurance, goals, and budgeting.
The stages of change model developed by James Prochaska was used to evaluate the financial situation of the participants. The model includes five stages that individuals advance through as they make behavior changes. The stages are precontemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, and maintenance.
The Financial Checkup helped individuals progress along the stages of change. Twenty-nine percent of the individuals who participated in The Financial Checkup program advanced at least one stage compared to 2 1% of the control group. Seven percent of the treatment group regressed one or more stages compared to 17% of the control group.
The Financial Checkup program was especially effective in helping individuals complete and understand a net worth statement and an income and expense statement. On the posttest, all participants in the treatment group indicated that they knew what a net worth statement and an income and expense statement were. On the 3-month follow-up survey, 50% of the treatment group had completed a net worth statement and 63% had completed an income and expense statement.
The Financial Checkup program was most effective for helping participants advance along the stages of change and improve their financial situation in the area of debt. Of the treatment group participants, 51% indicated an improvement in stages for their debt situation. Other areas of substantial improvement were the areas of savings, taxes, homeowners insurance, retirement, and auto insurance.

title: Similarities Within Adolescent Friendship Pairs: The Relationship Between the Strength and Qualities of Friendship and the Individuals' Ego Identity Development
Creators: name: Akers, James F.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1992

description: Current theory and research have suggested that adolescent friends share many similarities which range from strong similarities in sociodemographic variables to weaker correlations for personality characteristics. The goal of this study was to advance the base of knowledge related to similarities between friends by exploring relationships between early adolescent ego identity status and friendship strength, quality, and duration. First, the objective measure of Ego Identity Status was used to test the hypothesis that early adolescents in reciprocally identified friendship pairs are more similar in their ego identity status; no such relationship was found. Second, a measure designed to assess friendship qualities/strengths and duration lead to the conclusion that the quality/strength and duration of a friendship was also not associated with identity similarities. In addition, in-depth interviews of a subsample confirmed the findings associated with the full sample paper-pencil measures. Based on these findings, it appears that these early adolescents select friends who are not likely to operate within similar identity statuses.

description: (Shortened) We observed NGC 253 with the VLA in D-configuration and the Effelsberg 100-m telescope using radio continuum polarimetry. Observations at 6.2 cm and 3.6 cm were combined to calculate the RM distribution and to correct for Faraday rotation. The large-scale magnetic field consists of a disk (r, phi) and halo (r, z) component. The disk component can be described as an axisymmetric spiral field pointing inwards with a pitch angle of 25+/-5 degree which is symmetric with respect to the plane (even parity). The halo field shows a prominent X-shape centered on the nucleus similar to that of other edge-on galaxies. We propose a model where the halo field lines are along a cone with an opening angle of 90 +/- 30 degree and are pointing away from the disk in both the northern and southern halo (even parity). The X-shaped halo field follows the lobes seen in Halpha and soft X-ray emission. Dynamo action and a disk wind can explain the X-shaped halo field. The nuclear starburst-driven superwind may further amplify and align the halo field by compression of the lobes of the expanding superbubbles. The disk wind is a promising candidate for the origin of the gas in the halo and for the expulsion of small-scale helical fields as requested for efficient dynamo action.

title: Bildhaftigkeit und Metaphorisierung in der Grammatikvermittlung am Beispiel der Passivkonstruktion
Creators: name: Suñer Muñoz, Ferran
Publisher: name: Universitäts- und Landesbibliothek Darmstadt
Year: 2023

description: Die Grammatik wird in der kognitiven Linguistik als ein bedeutungsvolles und konzeptuell motiviertes System beschrieben, das mit Prozessen des bildlichen Denkens und der Metaphorisierung eng verbunden ist (Danesi 2008; Langacker 2008a; Roche 2013). Obwohl diese Prozesse ein großes Potenzial für die Veranschaulichung grammatischer Prinzipien im Kontext der Sprachvermittlung bieten, wurde ihre Nutzung bisher kaum erforscht. Vor diesem Hintergrund stellt der vorliegende Beitrag die Grundlagen eines kognitionslinguistischen Ansatzes des deutschen Passivs dar, der die konzeptuelle Struktur des Passivs erfahrbar machen soll. Zu diesem Zweck wird zunächst die Bildhaftigkeit des deutschen Passivs unter Rückgriff auf Beschreibungsparameter der kognitiven Grammatik (Langacker 1991, 2008a) ausgearbeitet, indem die Aktionskette als konzeptuelle Basis zur Darstellung der Transitivität zugrunde gelegt wird. Anhand der Aktionskette wird erläutert, wie sich sowohl das Aktiv als auch die verschiedenen Typen des Passivs als unterschiedliche Realisierungen dieser Aktionskette charakterisieren lassen. Auf der Basis dieser Analyse wird eine sogenannte grammatische Metapher entwickelt, die die zugrundeliegenden Prinzipien der Passivkonstruktion mittels konkreter Handlungen aus dem Alltag der Lernenden in Form einer Grammatikanimation anschaulich macht. Abschließend wird der Mehrwert der grammatischen Metaphern im Lichte der aktuellen empirischen Befundlage aus den Kognitionswissenschaften diskutiert.

Leadership Transition in Timor-Leste: Lessons From Indonesia

description: After over a year of speculation about government reshuffle and leadership succession, Timorese resistance hero Xanana Gusmão (popularly known by his nom de guerre, Xanana) finally resigned his prime minister post in February 2015, succeeded by opposition FRETILIN member, Dr Rui Maria de Araújo. While Timor-Leste was consumed by the questions of reshuffle and leadership transition, the country's giant neighbour and former occupier, Indonesia, has been preoccupied with 'posttransitional' issues in the first few months of Indonesia's new government under President Joko Widodo 'Jokowi.' While Indonesia and Timor-Leste are two distinct countries, the interesting recent experience in Indonesia does offer some valuable lessons for Timor- Leste, particularly as the country embarks on the very important course of leadership transition. This important point of reference, however, largely escapes scholarship attention on Timor-Leste (Nygaard- Christensen 2013; Peake et al. 2014). Jokowi's recent political manoeuvres and challenges offer valuable lessons on navigation of delicate politics of political supporters and opposition; winning and losing political support; and that personal popularity, integrity and professionalism on their own are an inadequate political seal. Some resemblances in political realities of the two countries mean that Rui Araújo can benefit from Jokowi's experience.

Publisher: name: INFN Open Access Repository
Year: 2000

description: In this technical note the rf control and detection system for a detector of small harmonic displacements based on two coupled microwave cavities (PACO) is presented. The basic idea underlying this detector is the principle of parametric power conversion between two resonant modes of the system, stimulated by the (small) harmonic modulation of one system parameter. In this experiment we change the cavity length applying an harmonic voltage to a piezo-electric crystal. The system can achieve a great sensitivity to small harmonic displacements and can be an interesting candidate for the detection of small, mechanically coupled, interactions (e.g. high frequency gravitational waves).
Comparisons and Connections between Mean Field Dynamo Theory and Accretion Disc Theory

Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The origin of large scale magnetic fields in astrophysical rotators, and the conversion of gravitational energy into radiation near stars and compact objects via accretion have been subjects of active research for a half century. Magnetohydrodynamic turbulence makes both problems highly nonlinear, so both subjects have benefitted from numerical simulations.However, understanding the key principles and practical modeling of observations warrants testable semi-analytic mean field theories that distill the essential physics. Mean field dynamo (MFD) theory and alpha-viscosity accretion disc theory exemplify this pursuit. That the latter is a mean field theory is not always made explicit but the combination of turbulence and global symmetry imply such. The more commonly explicit presentation of assumptions in 20th century textbook MFDT has exposed it to arguably more widespread criticism than incurred by 20th century alpha-accretion theory despite complementary weaknesses. In the 21st century however, MFDT has experienced a breakthrough with a dynamical saturation theory that consistently agrees with simulations. Such has not yet occurred in accretion disc theory, though progress is emerging. Ironically however, for accretion engines, MFDT and accretion theory are presently two artificially uncoupled pieces of what should be a single coupled theory. Large scale fields and accretion flows are dynamically intertwined because large scale fields likely play a key role in angular momentum transport. I discuss and synthesize aspects of recent progress in MFDT and accretion disc theory to suggest why the two likely conspire in a unified theory.

description: I. Reactions of ∝-Linked Disaccharides Through reaction of specifically substituted maltoses, ∝-glucosidic disaccharide derivatives have been prepared. Catalytic oxidation of benzyl β-maltoside yielded maltobiouronic acid. Tritylation of 1,6-anhydro-β-maltose made possible the preparation of the 6'-0-tosyl ester. Replacement of the tosylate with azide ion followed by reduction and hydrolysis yielded a small amount of 6'-amino-6' deoxy-maltose. Replacement of the tosylate with thiolacetate allowed the preparation of 6'-deoxy-6’-mercapto-maltose. Iodide replacement of the sulphonyl ester followed by reduction gave the 6’-deoxy-1, 6-anhydro derivative which was converted to 6’-deoxy-maltose by acetolysis and deacetylation. A route for the preparation of 4-0-(∝-D-glucopy-ranosyluronic acid)-D-xylose by selective decarboxylation of maltosyldiuronic acid was attempted and found unfeasible. Attempts to prepare 6-substituted maltoses by reaction of benzyl 4',6'-0-benzylidene-β-maltoside with various reagents were unsuccessful. II. Synthesis of the 2,4-Di-0-methyl Tetroses The four isomeric 2,4-di-0-methyl tetroses were prepared by periodate oxidation of known methylated sugars. 2,4-Di-0-methyl-D-and L-erythroses were prepared from 4,6-di-0-methyl-D-glucose and 3,5-di-0-methyl-L-arabinose respectively. 2,4-Di-0-methyl-D-and L-threoses were prepared from 3,5-di-0-methyl-D-xylose and 1,4,6-tri-0-methyl-L-sorbose. The tetroses were characterized as their crystalline 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazones. The Rf and RG values of the free sugars were recorded in a variety of solvents including a silica gel thin-layer chromatography system.

description: Dirac's method of classical analogy is employed to incorporate quantum degrees of freedom into modern nonequilibrium thermodynamics. The proposed formulation of dissipative quantum mechanics builds entirely upon the geometric structures implied by commutators and canonical correlations. A lucid formulation of a nonlinear quantum master equation follows from the thermodynamic structure. Complex classical environments with internal structure can be handled readily.

description: Das Wort hat keinen Plural. Und wir machen uns kaum einen Begriff davon, wie sehr es die Menschheit seit jeher beschäftigt. Grimms Deutsches Wörterbuch lässt sich in dem Band 8, der einen Rahmen von Wörtern aufspannt zwischen Glibber und Gräzist, auf sage und schreibe über 200 Seiten (226-430) über Herkunft, Bedeutung, Gebrauch und die unterschiedlichsten Zusammenhänge des Wortes Glück aus. Den Ausgang eines Geschehens, einer Angelegenheit, das Geschick, Schicksal bis hin zum Zufall, alles das bis in feinste Bedeutungsverästelungen umgreift der Begriff Glück - und wird doch zumeist im Verständnis der lateinischen fortuna, der glückspendenden Macht, gebraucht. Glück gehabt, wenn sich Fortuna uns zuwendet, wendet sie sich aber ab, bedeutet das Unglück.
title: Juvenile Females Who Sexually Offend: A Beginning Typology
Creators: name: Nelson, Jason M.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2001

description: This study was broken into two sections, the first being a comprehensive meta-analysis describing a profile of the juvenile female who sexually offends. The second section was the collection of data of juvenile females who sexually offend in the State of Utah. After the data were collected, a profile was described and compared to that found in the Review of the Literature and a typology was presented.
Ecosystemic legacies were shown to be passed down from one generation to the next. The juveniles were found to come from highly chaotic homes, and subject to maltreatment. Diagnostically, they show symptoms of conduct disorder, substance use/abuse, as well as other risks. Social policy, and legal and therapeutic implications were presented from this typology.

description: AGILE (LightImagerforGamma-rayAstrophysics) is a small scientific satellite for the detection of cosmicg-ray sources in the energy range 30 MeV-50 GeV with a very field of view (1/4 of the sky). It is planned to be operational in the years 2003-2006, a period in which no other γ-ray mission in the same energy range is foreseen. The AGILE scientific instrument is made of a silicon-tungsten Tracker, aCsI(Tl) Minicalorimeter, an Anticoincidence system and a X-ray imaging detector sensitive in the 10-40keV range. We present here a detailed description of the architectural design of the Silicon. Tracker with it strigger and readout logic, and the performance of the detector prototype during a test beam period at the CERN PS in May 2000. The Tracker performance is described in terms of position resolution and signal to noise ratio for on-axis and off-axis incident charged particles. The measured 40 μm resolution for a large range of incident angles will provide an excellent angular resolution for cosmic γ-ray imaging.
title: Correlates of Antidepressant Medication Compliance Use Among Depressed Women
Creators: name: Linton, Pamela
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2001

description: Medication compliance/noncompliance was examined in context of: severity of symptoms; medical side effects; medication education; perceived stigma; and effects on family/social support system. A null hypothesis was formulated for each correlate, stating that those patients who reported a high level of an independent variable (IV) would not be any more likely to discontinue their medication than patients who reported a low level of an IV. To obtain data, a medical usage questionnaire and a depression, assessment (OQT"-45.2) were used. Statistical significance was not obtained for any of the hypothesized relationships but trends were consistent with the established literature. The implication points to the efficacy of relational therapy as a conjunct to the medical treatment of depression.

description: The ECLISSE project  (ECR ion source Coupled to a Laser Ion Source for charge State Enhancement) started in 1999 with the aim to obtain intense beam of highly charged ions (pulsed mode) by means of the coupling between a Laser Ion Source (LIS) and an electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) ion source. The major points to be investigated  appeared to be the coupling efficiency of the ion beam produced by the LIS to the ECR plasma, as well as the possibility to enhance the available charge state by an ECRIS with respect to the standard methods used now to produce ion beams from solid samples (i.e. evaporation and sputtering). The theory suggests that this concept may be effective,  provided that the ion energy from the LIS is of the order of a few hundreds of eV. The main features of the theory will be shown in the following, along with the results obtained in the off-line test at LNS facility (Nd:YAG laser 0.9 J / 9 ns, laser power densities < 10^11 W/cm^2) and at IPPLM facility (Nd:glass laser 10 J / 1 ns, limited to 1.5 J).
title: Congruency of Identity Style in Married Couples
Creators: name: Cook, Jerry L.
Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: This study assessed the importance that similar identity style plays in the relationships within recently married couples. To assess the congruency of similar and dissimilar identity style, three postulates were analyzed. These postulates included: (a) Is there a gender difference in reports of marital intimacy? (b) Is similarity of identity style related to marital intimacy? (c) Is there an interaction effect between gender and similarity of identity style in relation to reports of marital intimacy? A sample consisting of 84 couples completed a survey containing questions relevant to identity and marital intimacy. Demographic information was also requested in the survey. Analyses indicate that (a) males generally report greater marital intimacy than females, (b) couples with similar identity style tend to report greater marital intimacy than their dissimilar counterparts, and (c) females' reports of marital intimacy are more influenced (than males) by similarity of identity style.

title: Rezension: Intercultural Competence: Concepts, Challenges, Evaluations
Creators: name: Zotzmann, Karin
Publisher: name: Universitäts- und Landesbibliothek Darmstadt
Year: 2023

description: The book Intercultural Competence: Concepts, Challenges, Evaluations, edited by Witte and Harden, is a selection of twenty-seven papers that were presented at an international conference of same name, held at the National Uni- versity of Ireland in Maynooth, in September 2010. The collection contains a diverse range of contributions that share a common concern with the nature and acquisition of intercultural competence from a range of different theo- retical perspectives and, in the case of reports on empirically based investigations, diverse contexts of application. Edited collections, however, particularly those which are based on conference presentations, constitute a rather difficult genre as the contributions might be quite disparate. This is not the case for Witte and Harden’s publication who identify in the introduction a central message that the book conveys, and four common themes - ‘theoretical perspectives’, ‘institutional contexts’, ‘target cultures’ and the ‘role of literature’ - that tie the chapters together. To them, intercultural competence is a very important educational concept, but at the same time diffuse, ambiguous and often used without conceptual clarification. The editors make their position clear: they refute, in the first instance, the structuralist and essentialist idea of a set of national cultural traits and values bound up with a specific, allegedly unchanging, language. Instead, they emphasize the performative character of meaning-making processes: culture is defined here not in terms of what it supposedly is but by what it does (see Street 1993: 23), a view that runs through the entire volume. Intercultural competence is broadly envisaged as the ability to negotiate a third space for oneself, a spatial metaphor that draws attention to the ongoing processes of negotiation, translation, reflection and enuncia- tion that characterize the engagement with different languages, discourses, social practices and values. This view goes beyond pragmatic and rather narrow definitions of intercultural competence as the ability to get things done in highly diverse contexts, and involves the whole person, including one's habits and habitus, biographical background, and experiences, values and attitudes. Intercultural competence can therefore not be described in a universally valid manner but is highly dependent on the contexts and participants involved. As a result, Witte and Harden stress the need for empirical investigations on the actual performance of real-world speakers in real-world contexts and situa- tions. Many of the empirical studies in this collection reflect this commitment.
