title: Rezension: MARCUS HERNIG (2000), China und die interkulturelle Germanistik: Kulturvergleich,Interkulturalität und Interdisziplinarität im Rahmen der chinesischen „Wissenschaft vom Deutschen“. Einzelfallstudien zur Situation u. Entwicklung d. chinesischen Germanistik
Creators: name: Hachenberg, Peter

description: Marcus Hernig verfolgt in seiner Studie die Fragen, wie sich die Situation der chinesischen Germanistik zur Zeit darstellt und welche kulturvergleichenden, interkulturellen und interdisziplinären Elemente in deren Lehre und Forschung bereits eingegangen sind oder geeignete Ansätze bilden könnten. Der Autor beschränkt sich dabei bewusst auf das „Hauptfachstudium der deutschen Sprache, Literatur und Landeskunde“ (S. 14) und schließt den „weiteren Bereich des Deutsch als Fremdsprache-Studiums in studienbegleitenden Kursen oder in Intensivkursen“ (ebd.) aus. Germanistik als Hauptstudienfach gab es in China 1997 an rund 25 Hochschulen mit insgesamt ca. 1600 Studierenden, Deutsch als Fremdsprache in verschiedenen Kursformen wurde an 116 Hochschulen mit mehr als 16.000 Teilnehmern unterrichtet (S. 137). Die Zahlen dürften sich nicht wesentlich verändert haben.
Temperature-Dependent Orientation of Diamond Films on Titanium and Structural Evolution of Interfacial Layers

Publisher: name: INFN Open Access Repository
Year: 1996

description: X-ray diffraction analytical techniques have been used to investigate the influence of the deposition temperature (650-850°C) on the composition and microstructure of the transition layers formed at the interface between titanium substrates and diamond thin films. The diamond coatings were produced by hot-filament chemical vapor deposition using a 1% methane/hydrogen mixture. X-ray diffraction analysis, performed both through  q-2q scans and at grazing incidence, allowed investigation of the crystallographic properties and of the structural evolution of the various phases (TiC, TiH2, α-Ti) generated inside the intermediate reaction layers. The temperature-dependent orientation of diamond crystallites  is discussed with reference to the complex structure of these interfacial layers.
0238 "Belonging of right to our English nation". The Oratory of Domine Quo Vadis, Reginald Pole, and the English Hospice in Rome
Creators: name: Bacciolo, Andrea
Publisher: name: RIHA Journal
Year: 2020

description: Located in Rome, at the Appian Way, the oratory of Domine Quo Vadis is a circular domed building that has heretofore been dated to Julius III's pontificate (1550–1555) and associated with Cardinal Reginald Pole's patronage. In addition to confirming the role of Reginald Pole, new documentary evidence proves both an earlier date of construction and the involvement in the works of the English Hospice as financial contributor. Considering the cultural and political climate, the Anglo-Roman relations, and the institutional background, this article deals with the oratory as a materialization of the emerging identity of English Catholics in Rome.

description: Die einmal im Jahr erscheinende Zeitschrift "Fremdsprachen Lehren und Lernen" zeichnet mit ihren diversen Themenschwerpunkten die Geschichte des Fremdsprachenunterrichts und der wissenschaftlichen Beschäftigung mit ihm nach. Dies zu tun ist interessant und verdienstvoll, weil mehrere Paradigmenwechsel nachhaltige Wirkungen und tiefgreifende Veränderungen gezeitigt haben. Von ihnen sind Lehrende und Lernende betroffen, die häufig für ihr Tun eine Positionsbestimmung der Fachdidaktik mit verbindlichen Regeln und Festlegungen erwarten. Ein Blick auf die Unterrichtswirklichkeit mit ihrer methodischen Vielfalt jedoch belehrt sehr schnell darüber, dass die Praxis des unterrichtlichen Handelns nicht vor dem Hintergrund einseitiger Leitziele hinreichend beschrieben und verbessert werden kann. Diesem Umstand trägt die Veröffentlichung mit ihrem Titel Rechnung und versucht eine Bestandsaufnahme, deren Qualität daran zu messen ist, ob sie eine Grundlage für das Verstehen unterrichtlicher Prozesse liefert und gleichzeitig als Basis für ein innovatives Vorgehen geeignet ist. Die Erwartungen sind also hoch gesteckt.

Some sharp performance bounds for least squares regression with $L_1$ regularization

description: We derive sharp performance bounds for least squares regression with $L_1$ regularization from parameter estimation accuracy and feature selection quality perspectives. The main result proved for $L_1$ regularization extends a similar result in [Ann. Statist. 35 (2007) 2313--2351] for the Dantzig selector. It gives an affirmative answer to an open question in [Ann. Statist. 35 (2007) 2358--2364]. Moreover, the result leads to an extended view of feature selection that allows less restrictive conditions than some recent work. Based on the theoretical insights, a novel two-stage $L_1$-regularization procedure with selective penalization is analyzed. It is shown that if the target parameter vector can be decomposed as the sum of a sparse parameter vector with large coefficients and another less sparse vector with relatively small coefficients, then the two-stage procedure can lead to improved performance.

description: The aim of this RIHA special issue is to locate and define emerging notions and expressions of nationhood in Rome from the 15th through the 17th centuries, and in particular the material, visual, and intellectual practices of nationhood. Primarily the churches built by the nationes with their paintings and sculptures, their music and their ephemeral decorations, their feasts and processions were manifestations of the collective identities of foreign communities, and were understood as such. But nationhood was also expressed through a variety of other individual or institutionalized practices, including embassy, client-patron networks, charity, trade etc.

Structural relations between the Shuswap Terrane and the Cache Creek Group in Southern British Columbia.
Creators: name: Preto, Vittorio Annibale Giuseppe
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The rocks of the Shuswap terrane have been the subject of controversy for more than 65 years. Jones (1959) recently presented evidence that in the Vernon map-area the original rocks and the superimposed metamorphism are all pre-Permian in age and probably pre-Cambrian. Jones also described (1959, pp. 47-4-9 and pp. 28-29) five different localities where unconformities separate Shuswap rocks of the Monashee and Chapperon groups from rocks of the Cache Creek group of Permian age. The present writer mapped in detail three of these localities, near Lavington, at B.X. Creek and at Salmon River. Near Lavington the contact described by Jones as an unconformity is considered to be a fault. However, the relations between metamorphic and non-metamorphic rocks are compatible with the existence of an unconformity which, if it exists, is not exposed. At B.X. Creek, the arcuate path described by Jones as marking an unconformity was found to follow a nearly-straight line in a northerly direction and to coincide with two parallel, steeply-dipping and north-trending faults which truncate the non-metamorphic rocks. At Salmon River the evidence for an unconformity is strong. The rocks below the unconformity are chloritic and argillaceous schists of the Chapperon group and strike northeast with steep dips to the southeast and northwest. The rocks above the unconformity are calcarenites, feld-spathic volcanic wackes and tuffs grading upward into argillites, and have been described by Jones as part of the Cache Creek group; they strike north or slightly east of north and dip gently to the west or west-northwest.
0236 An Architect at War: Adrian Berrington and the Environment of the Modern Battlefield of the First World War
Creators: name: Welter, Volker
Publisher: name: RIHA Journal
Year: 2020

description: This article asks how fighting on the modern battlefields of the First World War shaped an architect-soldier’s perception and concept of space and changed his architectural designs. Against the background of a brief discussion of contemporary and recent accounts that discuss the war experience in spatial terms, the article presents an exemplary case study of the military career of the English architect Adrian Berrington (1886–1923). Before the war Berrington belonged to the circle of the urban sociologist Patrick Geddes (1854–1932), during the war he underwent shell-shock therapy at Craiglockhart War Hospital together with the war poet Wilfred Owen (1893–1918). A detailed analysis of Berrington’s war letters and selected designs shows how the war changed his concept of space to a degree that pre-war principles no longer offered guidance for his post-war designs.

description: In this work we mimic the efficient propulsion mechanism of natural cilia by magnetically actuating thin films in a cyclic but non-reciprocating manner. By simultaneously solving the elasto-dynamic, magnetostatic and fluid mechanics equations, we show that the amount of fluid propelled is proportional to the area swept by the cilia. By using the intricate interplay between film magnetization and applied field we are able to generate a pronounced asymmetry and associated flow. We delineate the functional response of the system in terms of three dimensionless parameters that capture the relative contribution of elastic, inertial, viscous and magnetic forces.

description: There is an increasing interest in our scientific community to have a neutron source at the INFN for detector calibrations and physics investigations in different domains. In this report we describe the preliminary study that we have done to estimate the feasibility of a photo-neutron source at the Daϕne Beam Test Facility. The physics of the neutron photo-production  is introduced and synthetically discussed in the first 2 sections. In  the following ones we show the details of the Montecarlo simulations and the comparison of these results with some important semi-empirical correlations. Finally,  we reported some values of the integrated neutron flux, that we expected to have, when a 510 MeV electron beam impinges on a suitable target, made of high Z material.
The Influence of the Galatic Magnetic Field on the Age of Cosmic Ray Protons

Year: 1998

description: The influence of various magnetic field structures of the galactic disk on some fundamental properties of cosmic ray protons has been investigated with a simulation program which generates cosmic ray trajectories in the disk volume. The regular component of the galactic magnetic field has been approxirnated by three different geometrical configurations (circular, elliptic and spiral). Ages, residence times and grammages of cosmic protons in various conditions are calculated and discussed. These calculations indicate that the proton age is strongly influenced by the magnetic field configuration, but weakly affected by the magnetic field strength. The age of cosmic ray protons in the spiraI field has a calculated value of 6.7.10^6 years and the corresponding matter thickness 12 g/cm^2

description: Let $\F$ be an algebraically closed field. Let $\V$ be a vector space equipped with a non-degenerate symmetric or symplectic bilinear form $B$ over $\F$. Suppose the characteristic of $\F$ is \emph{large}, i.e. either zero or greater than the dimension of $\V$. Let $I(\V, B)$ denote the group of isometries. Using the Jacobson-Morozov lemma we give a new and simple proof of the fact that two elements in $I(\V,B)$ are conjugate if and only if they have the same elementary divisors.
title: The Effects of Empathy Teaching on Sociometric Status in Kindergarten Children from Urban and Rural Populations
Creators: name: Skinner, Marilyn Egan
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1980

description: Children's popularity is of concern in this study and the effect on the child's sociometric status after a series on empathy teaching has been presented. An objective of the study was to see if children in the isolated or rejected sociometric status would change to popular and amiable status after being taught empathy skills. Another objective was to find an intervention program which would teach children empathy skills.
in order to measure children's abilities in sociometric choice, a sociometric technique devised by Dr. Craig Peery at Utah State University was used. The empathy tool used to measure children's empathy skills was the Interpersonal Awareness Test from Carnegie-Mellon University by Helen Borke. A modified version of the Feshback and Roe slides was the empathy teaching tool. The children were given pretest and post-test on both the sociometric measurement and the empathy skill measurement.
Kindergarten children from three schools in the Weber County School District were tested. They were all 5 to 6 years of age and were divided into control and experimental groups, 66 in the control and 81 in the experimental.
The results of the study indicated little evidence that an intervention program of two months made a significant difference. It was found, however, that children of both control and experimental groups do increase scoring in an empathy test which measures pre and post testing. It was also found that children do change sociometric status to a greater extent in the experimental group than in the control and that popular children do score higher on the empathy test with isolate children scoring lowest. All children did increase in empathy scoring but not at a significant difference of .05.
0232 Losy średniowiecznego wyposażenia kościoła toruńskich franciszkanów w czasach Reformacji

description: Artykuł poświęcony jest dziejom średniowiecznych elementów wystroju i wyposażenia kościoła franciszkańskiego kościoła poklasztornego pw. Wniebowzięcia NMP w Toruniu w czasach Reformacji. Franciszkanie, sprowadzeni do Starego Miasta Torunia w 1239 roku, użytkowali budowlę do roku 1557, kiedy to klasztor został przejęty przez protestancką gminę miasta Torunia, a kościół poklasztorny stał się główną świątynią protestancką Torunia i regionu. Od 1724 roku założenie pofranciszkańskie odzyskali bernardyni, którzy dokonali poważnych zmian w przestrzeni kościoła (w tym: fundacja późnonowożytnych sprzętów, ołtarzy wraz z nastawami, usunięcie dawnego lektorium itd.) W artykule poruszone są kwestie funkcjonowania średniowiecznych elementów wystroju i wyposażenia przestrzeni laickiej wnętrz w czasach użytkowania go przez luteran (losy malowideł ściennych, płyt nagrobnych, ambony, prospektu organowego, empor). Osobno omówione zostały elementy zagospodarowania i wyposażenia dawnej franciszkańskiej ecclesiae interioris: problem ołtarza głównego i jego retabulum, zespół średniowiecznych stall zakonnych, lektorium i późnośredniowieczna rzeźby Ukrzyżowanego. Jak wynika z analiz dokonywanych we wnętrzu przekształceń, działania podjęte w ramach dostosowania go do zmiany konfesyjnej przez protestantów miały charakter pragmatyczny, a nie obrazoburczy. Średniowieczne, pokatolickie i pofranciszkańskie obiekty w kościele Wniebowzięcia NMP nie tylko nie zostały usunięte czy zniszczone, ale w miarę możliwości wykorzystano je w nowej aranżacji wnętrza, dostosowując do nieco innych potrzeb, modernizując i uzupełniając.

Correlation of geomagnetic field changes with ionospheric motions determined by a doppler technique
Creators: name: Lewis, Trevor John
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Standard measurements of the geomagnetic field at the earth's surface are correlated with doppler measurements. The doppler shift in the frequency of a radio wave travelling in the ionosphere measures the change in refractive index with respect to time, integrated along the wave's path. For a vertical path the integrated change in electron density is measured, and the ionosphere's vertical motion can be deduced, using simplifying assumptions. A definite correlation between short period (less than four minutes) geomagnetic field changes and the doppler shift has been found. For longer period changes, evidence for a correlation is not so definite. The magnitude of the ratio of the doppler shift (in a frequency of 4 or 5 Mc.) to the observed geomagnetic field change for short period events is between 0.1 and 0.4 cps/ɣ and for longer events, 0.05 to 0.15 cps/ɣ. Sometimes the doppler shift is proportional to ΔH or ΔD. However no relation that would hold in general to predict the doppler shift from the observed geomagnetic changes was found. Apart from the diurnal variation in the doppler shift, three types of uncorrelated events were found. The first was a continuous variation occurring during the daytime which has been observed by many workers. The second was a large travelling ionospheric disturbance which followed a sudden change in the geomagnetic field, and thus might be considered indirectly to be correlated. The last type was a train of large amplitude irregular oscillations with periods from about 3 to 0.5 minutes, the longer periods appearing first. The problem of determining ionospheric motions from the doppler shift is very complex, and in order to make any progress, certain simplifying assumptions must be made which cannot be completely justified. By assuming also that the observed long period geomagnetic field changes are caused by overhead currents, and by using average ionospheric conductivities, the electric field in the ionosphere is calculated, the values ranging between 10⁻⁷ and 10⁻⁶ e.s.u. For shorter period geomagnetic field changes, the doppler shift is larger (approximately by a factor of 3) than the value which has previously been calculated by assuming that overhead currents cause the geomagnetic changes.

description: Tag switching and MPLS (MultiProtocol Label Switching) combine IP routing exibility with the efficiency of cell switching techniques to address the need of scalable infrastructures, of a wider range of services and of the support of advanced applications. We present the model and the configuration of several tag switching networks in the local and wide area. In particular, we focus on the design of a scalable IP architecture and its application in a wide area testbed based on tag switching, a MPLS implementation by CISCO.The protocol and the network performance have been analysed in terms of functionality, software stability, round trip time, route recovery time and throughput.Results show that tag switching is a promising and viable technique for the implementation of scalable and integrated networks.

description: We discuss on general grounds the possibility of testing specia relativity and the underlying small scale structure of space-time by studying the interactions of Cosmic Rays (CR) with universal diffuse background radiation.The interactions we consider are the ones characterized by well defined energy thresholds whose energy position can be predicted on the basis of special relativity.We argue that the experimental confirmation of the existence of these thresholds can in principle put very stringent limits on the energy (length) scale where special relativity and/or continuity of space-time break down.

description: In spatially distributed cellular systems, it is often convenient to represent complicated auxiliary pathways and spatial transport by time-delayed reaction rates. Furthermore, many of the reactants appear in low numbers necessitating a probabilistic description. The coupling of delayed rates with stochastic dynamics leads to a probability conservation equation characterizing a non-Markovian process. A systematic approximation is derived that incorporates the effect of delayed rates on the characterization of molecular noise, valid in the limit of long delay time. By way of a simple example, we show that delayed reaction dynamics can only increase intrinsic fluctuations about the steady-state. The method is general enough to accommodate nonlinear transition rates, allowing characterization of fluctuations around a delay-induced limit cycle.

description: Electrical spin injection from ferromagnetic metals into graphene is hindered by the impedance mismatch between the two materials. This problem can be reduced by the introduction of a thin tunnel barrier at the interface. We present room temperature non-local spin valve measurements in cobalt/aluminum-oxide/graphene structures with an injection efficiency as high as 25%, where electrical contact is achieved through relatively transparent pinholes in the oxide. This value is further enhanced to 43% by applying a DC current bias on the injector electrodes, that causes carrier drift away from the contact. A reverse bias reduces the AC spin valve signal to zero or negative values. We introduce a model that quantitatively predicts the behavior of the spin accumulation in the graphene under such circumstances, showing a good agreement with our measurements.

description: In this paper, we propose the ultra-discrete optimal velocity model, a cellular-automaton model for traffic flow, by applying the ultra-discrete method for the optimal velocity model. The optimal velocity model, defined by a differential equation, is one of the most important models; in particular, it successfully reproduces the instability of high-flux traffic. It is often pointed out that there is a close relation between the optimal velocity model and the mKdV equation, a soliton equation. Meanwhile, the ultra-discrete method enables one to reduce soliton equations to cellular automata which inherit the solitonic nature, such as an infinite number of conservation laws, and soliton solutions. We find that the theory of soliton equations is available for generic differential equations, and the simulation results reveal that the model obtained reproduces both absolutely unstable and convectively unstable flows as well as the optimal velocity model.

description: Where Second Language Acquisition (SLA) theory and Technology-Enhanced Language Learning (TELL(1)) practice are concerned, it is tempting to see a direct cause-effect relationship between the problematical situation that existed in the late 1980s and substantial changes that took place in the 1990s. There is no doubt that the "Infrastructure of Language Learning" did take a turn for the better in several key universities in the 1990s, and that the changes did have the effect of bringing learning theory and classroom practice closer together. But the role of TELL is still not at all clear in this new environment, in the sense that the new technologies, with their greatly increased capacity to improve communication, have not yet been exploited in any systematic, theoretically well-founded way. Without that link, technology remains an adjunct activity, as can be seen by the varying degrees of infrastructural separation between the New Language Centres and the language 'labs'.

description: According with the R&D philosophy of the first phase of NEMO experiment, an extensive investigation have been carried out in order to find practical alternatives to the standard design of pressure vessels for junction boxes that should operate on the sea bed for a long lifetime.Both technical and economical points of view have been considered, as well as reliability. Possible suppliers have been contacted to check the feasibility of the different solutions and estimate their cost. A final trade-off has been proposed, to help the collaboration to choose the solution for the detector prototype phase.
title: Demographic Influences on Perceived Urgency of Family Life Issues in Utah

description: This study recognizes the need to identify and prioritize critical issues facing families. The literature review identifies and documents a number of critical issues facing families in American society. Survey questionnaires, which contained an abstract version of 33 previously identified issues, were sent to a sample of 2,000 people in Utah. The sample was randomly selected from resident listings in Utah telephone books. The survey asked respondents to rate each of 33 issues on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being the least urgent and 10 being the most urgent. These issues include childhood, economic, health, and elderly concerns. Mean scores and variances of individual issues and factor-analyzed issue categories were utilized in this study. It was hypothesized that there would be no significant difference with regard to urgency between categories of six demographic variables for each issue. Hypotheses were tested on each issue and eight major issue categories identified by a factor analysis. The six demographic variables utilized in the analyses of variance were: rural/urban status, gender, family income, marital status, age, and education level. When viewing results from the issues, results show that the hypothesis of no difference between gender, income, and education categories was rejected. Testing this same hypothesis of issue categories resulted in rejection for gender and education. In looking at the variance of all 33 issues combined, results show that individuals in Utah most likely to view issues with a higher sense of urgency were: female, low income, and residents with a lower level of educational attainment. A ranking of the 33 issues, as provided, could assist policy makers and professionals in knowing what issues Utah residents perceive as being the most pressing. Information gained from this study may assist policy makers in the allocation of funding for the variety of family related difficulties that Utah faces. The results from the analyses of variance may help explain public concern and interest relative to specific counties or communities. The study also identifies a method of identifying and prioritizing family-related issues. This method may be beneficial to other states in the nation.
title: Adolescents' Attitudes and Perceptions Towards Their Grandparents

description: The purpose of this study was to determine the attitudes of youth toward each of their individual grandparents. The subjects were students ranging in age from 12-19 years with the majority being between 14-17 years of age. These students were enrolled in a release time religious class that allowed them one hour a day off campus to take a seminary course.
The sample of data consisted of 148 girls and 108 boys, which was approximately 25% of the high school population. The youth were from a small northern Utah community. The average age of the youth respondents was 16.2 years. This group of youth came from intact families with 90.1% who lived in a family where father and mother were together. The questionnaire consisted of 35 questions of which 16 questions were used to develop an attitude scale used to answer 10 research questions.
Younger adolescents (age 12-14 years) had a better attitude toward grandparents than older adolescents (age 17-19 years).
Evidence supported previous literature that male youth were emotionally closer than females to their grandfathers. However, no significance was found to support previous literature that female youth are closer to grandmothers. Overall, adolescents reported feeling emotionally closer to maternal grandparents. The favored grandparent was the maternal grandmother.
Paternal grandfathers with a higher education level were looked upon more favorably by the youth. Youth attitudes toward maternal grandfathers were significantly less positive when the grandfathers were described as often sick and activity slowed by sickness or age.
When the youth responded favorably towards one grandparent, the spouse of the grandparent was also given a favorable response. The youth seemed to have a positive overall attitude towards grandparents; however, when it comes to being disciplined by their grandparents, most youth expressed uncertainty to the question, "Should my grandparents discipline me?"
The social science computer package (SPSS) was used to analyze the data and reach the above mentioned conclusions.

description: TBecause of limited energy of nodes, an important issue for sensor network is efficient use of the energy. The clustering technique reduces energy consumption as cluster head sends sensed information to a sink node. Because of such character of clustering technique, electing cluster head is an important element for networks. This paper proposes RCFT (ReClustering Formation Technique) that reconstruct clusters in hierarchical sensor networks. RCFT is a protocol that reconstructed clusters considering position of a cluster head and nodes in randomly constructed clusters. And this paper demonstrated that clusters are composed evenly through simulation, accordingly this simulation shows the result reducing energy consumption.

title: Marital Satisfaction Over the Family Life Cycle Among Taiwanese Couples
Creators: name: Chang, Sheng-Te
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1993

description: The purpose of this study was to determine whether or not there were different subjective reports of marital satisfaction or dissatisfaction across the life cycle for Taiwanese couples. In examining this question two of the three selected instruments demonstrated sufficient reliability so as to be included in the overall study, namely, the Marital Adjustment Scale (MAS) and the Spanier Dyadic Adjust Scale (SDAS). These instruments were translated from English to Chinese, then administered to 259 couples volunteering to participate in the study. Couples were grouped according to their placement along the life cycle.
The results of the study indicate that there is indeed a difference in the amount of reported marital satisfaction across the life cycle; however, there is no evidence that males or females differ in their perception of the amount of marital satisfaction experienced. Multiple regression examined the factors determined from the two scales for their influence on male and female reports of marital satisfaction at varying stages of the life cycle. While many findings were noted, three are of relative significance. First, couples in the first stage of the life cycle and those in the last stage report that companionate behavior is of critical importance. Secondly, in the second stage of the life cycle, female respondents did not identify any variable as significant regardless of the instrument. Finally, there is an interesting dip in marital satisfaction at the point in time when families begin to launch their children and enter the empty nest.
Recommendations include continued research on assessing what variables are related to marital satisfaction in this population. Secondly, marital and family therapy clinical training is viewed as important, especially at this time in this culture. Finally, there are various ways in which enrichment and prevention programs would facilitate the longevity of relationships, thus deterring divorce.

description: Many classically used function space structures (including the topology of pointwise convergence, the compact-open topology, the Isbell topology and the continuous convergence) are induced by a hyperspace structure counterpart. This scheme is used to study local properties of function space structures on $C(X,\mathbb R)$, such as character, tighntess, fan-tightness, strong fan-tightness, the Fr{é}chet property and some of its variants. Under mild conditions, local properties of $C(X,\mathbb R)$ at the zero function correspond to the same property of the associated hyperspace structure at $X$. The latter is often easy to characterize in terms of covering properties of $X$. This way, many classical results are recovered or refined, and new results are obtained. In particular, it is shown that tightness and character coincide for the continuous convergence on $C(X,\mathbb R)$ and is equal to the Lindel{ö}f degree of $X$. As a consequence, if $X$ is consonant, the tightness of $C(X,\mathbb R)$ for the compact-open topology is equal to the Lindel{ö}f degree of $X$.

description: Der Ausspracheerwerb ist ein vielschichtiger und sich individuell sehr verschieden vollziehender Prozess. Ausgehend von der Grundannahme, dass der Ausspracheerwerb im Phonetikunterricht durch Individualisierung unterstützt werden kann, werden in diesem Beitrag Möglichkeiten aufgezeigt, den Unterricht so zu gestalten, dass die einzelne Person entsprechend ihren individuellen Lernbedürfnissen selbststeuernd aktiv werden kann. Anhand der Ergebnisse einer Befragung unter polnischen Studierenden der Germanistik wird verdeutlicht, worin die Besonderheiten und die Individualisierungspotentiale der Arbeit mit Portfolios im Phonetikunterricht bestehen. Darüber hinaus werden eigene Tonaufnahmen, die individuelle Lernberatung und Lernverträge als weitere Ansätze zur Individualisierung im Phonetikunterricht besprochen. Der Beitrag wird mit einem Plädoyer für methodische Vielfalt im Phonetikunterricht abgeschlossen.
title: High School and University Student Test Performance in the Study of Human Growth and Development: A Concurrent Enrollment Study

description: Concurrent enrollment of high school students in college classes is becoming more common but it has not been clear if high school students can learn the material as well as college students. This study examined high-school and college students' learning by exposing them to the same text, a similar lesson plan, and the same test questions, while controlling for demographic, attitudinal, and experiential variables. Two questions were addressed: (a) Was there a practical difference between high school and college students in their ability to learn the material; and (b) was there a difference in the way they learned the material? The difference between college and high-school student learning as it was reflected by their test scores was less than three percentage points, with college students averaging higher. Although this was a statistically significant difference, there appeared to be no practical difference between high school and college students in their ability to learn the material. However, simple mean comparisons indicated that besides age, grade level, and scores, college and high-school students differed in a statistically significant way in their perception of teacher involvement, and how easy the class was. Furthermore, hierarchically regressing scores on a-order correlates, with a dichotomous variable representing high-school or college status entered last, still yielded a statistically significant difference between high-school and college student scores. Learning differences between groups were further defined using separate regression equations based on the expected independence of college students compared with the dependence of high school students. The expectation that there may have been a difference in the way students learned in high school and college appeared to have been confirmed. That is, factors related to independence seemed to predict college student scores better than those of high school students, and factors related to dependence predicted high-school student scores better than those of college students.
