description: Bei der Nutzung digitaler Medien im Unterricht werden in verschiedenen Schulen teilweise schülereigene Geräte und teilweise gestellte Geräte verwendet. Ich habe Unterschiede in den Auswirkungen von schülereigenen Smartphones (BYOD) und zur Verfügung gestellten Smartphones (Pool) auf die Entwicklung der Kompetenz im mathematischen Modellieren untersucht. Dazu wurde eine experimentelle Interventionsstudie mit 176 Schülerinnen und Schülern der 8. und 9. Jahrgangsstufe realisiert, ein Rasch-Modell verwendet und eine Varianzanalyse (ANOVA) durchgeführt. Ich zeige, dass es keinen signifikanten Unterschied zwischen den beiden Experimentalgruppen in Bezug auf die Kompetenzentwicklung gibt (p = .876).

description: This study determines the effects of gratitude and mindfulness training on perceived stress and self-esteem of secondary school students. It was hypothesised that there would be negative effect of gratitude and mindfulness training on perceived stress and positive impact on self-esteem. 20 participants, ages ranging from 14 to 18 (M=14; SD=.30) participated. Convenient sampling was used, and the study design was quasi-experimental. After the screening process, participants were divided into two (experimental and waitlisted control) groups. Only, the experimental group received the training. Perceived stress and self-esteem were tested in pre-test and post-test through the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) and Rosenberg self-esteem scale. The training was given twice a week for 3 weeks. Statistical analysis was applied to determine the results. The result indicates that there is a significant difference between scores of pre-test and post-test in the experimental group. This suggests that training reduces stress levels and enhances self-esteem.

description: Inwieweit sind digitale Medien und Hilfsmittel geeignet, einen inklusiven Unterricht zu unterstützen und zu stärken? In der Forschungswerkstatt ‚Digitalisierung in inklusiven Settings‘ im Rahmen des Projekts BRIDGES wird an der Universität Vechta dieser Frage fächerübergreifend und in mehreren fachspezifischen Forschungsvorhaben nachgegangen. Die Konzeption eines Forschungsvorhabens, welches der Frage nach Teilhabe durch digitale Medien am Mathematikunterricht nachgeht, wird im vorliegenden Beitrag vorgestellt. Im Rahmen dieser fachdidaktischen Entwicklungsforschung wurde eine Tablet-gestützte Lernumgebung zur Förderung der mitunter stark vernachlässigten Datenkompetenz entwickelt. Dabei wird das Ziel verfolgt, Chancen und Hürden für die Teilhabe am Mathematikunterricht zu identifizieren und auf Gestaltungsmerkmale von Lernumgebungen zurückzuführen.

description: Wood preservation experts often perform monoculture fungal decay tests to determine the decay resistance of wood-based materials and the effectiveness of preservative treatments under controlled laboratory and field conditions. In nature, however, wood is rarely colonized by a single fungal species. In a single cubic cm of forest soil, there may be hundreds of species of fungi that interact with each other and can compete for the same space and resources. Similarly, living, dying or dead trees often contain a variety of decay fungi. Factors affecting fungal colonization of wood and the rate of decay include the presence of other interacting fungi, the heterogeneity of the wood, and environmental conditions. In this study, we analyze fungal growth and wood decay rates for single fungi and for pairs of fungi in controlled lab conditions. We selected fungi that cause the two major types of decay: the white rot fungus Trichaptum abietinum that degrades carbohydrates and lignin, and the brown rot fungus Fomitopsis pinicola that degrades only carbohydrates but not lignin. The decay substrate was lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta) wood, a non-durable species native to western North America. In this work we report antagonistic reactions between pairs of fungi in artificial media, as well as the decay ability of single fungi and pairs of fungi by using a modified soil block decay test, to gain insight into how fungi may behave in natural environments.

description: Der Einsatz digitaler Medien im Unterricht ist spätestens seit dem Bund-Länder-Digitalpakt in aller Munde. Ausbauen digitaler Infrastruktur und Bereitstellen von Hardware ist aber keine Garantie dafür, dass digitale Medien gewinnbringend eingesetzt werden. Um deren Potentiale lernzielorientiert nutzen zu können, müssen Lehrkräfte im Umgang mit digitalen Medien geschult werden. Im Beitrag werden Konzeption und Entwicklungstand einer universellen Konfigurations- und Lehr-Lern-Umgebung (UKuLeLe) vorgestellt. Sie ist Werkzeug zum Erstellen von adaptiven digitalen Lernpfaden sowie Arbeits- und Diagnose-Umgebung für solche Lernpfade. Mit ihr sollen Lehrpersonen befähigt werden, Lernpfade, die auf didaktischen Prinzipen basieren, zu entwickeln und im Unterricht einzusetzen. Im Beitrag wird die fachübergreifend nutzbare Lehr-Lern-Umgebung aus der Perspektive des Einsatzes im Rahmen des Lehrens und Lernens von Mathematik reflektiert und erläutert.

description: Digitales Lernen umfasst neben dem Einsatz digitaler Werkzeuge zur Förderung des Fachlernens auch den Erwerb einer digitalen (Allgemein-)Bildung, wozu unter anderem auch das algorithmische Denken gehört. Algorithmisches Denken wird hier aufgefasst als das Denken in Algorithmen, d.h. Prozessen, die eine Eingabe zu einer Ausgabe führen, und dabei eindeutig, endlich und vollständig sind. Algorithmen sind natürlich deutlich älter als der Computer und auch schon längst Bestandteil des Mathematikunterrichts (angefangen mit schriftlichen Rechenverfahren in der Grundschule). Allerdings werden die Algorithmen häufig eher implizit ausgeführt und nicht explizit entworfen. In diesem Beitrag werden empirische Einblicke gegeben, inwiefern sich in den verschriftlichten Anleitungen zum Cäsar-Verfahren von Lernenden der Jahrgangsstufen 5 und 6 Konzepte des algorithmischen Denkens zeigen.

description: This paper examines the role of perceived disease risk for vaccination behavior. Using health insurance claims data, I estimate the effect of local measles outbreaks in Germany on first and second dose measles vaccinations in children as well as catch‐up vaccinations in adults. In my empirical strategy, I exploit the variation in timing and location of regional disease outbreaks and estimate a two‐way fixed effects model with birth cohort and region fixed effects. Basic underlying assumption is that measles outbreaks alter perceptions regarding the disease risk. The robustness of this approach with regard to possible bias due to heterogeneous treatment effects under differential treatment timing is assessed through the use of alternative estimators. The results show that measles outbreaks within a region increase the share of children who receive their vaccination on time by 0.8 percentage points for both the first and second vaccination. This corresponds to a reduction in the share of not timely vaccinated children of about 4.1% and 2.6% for the first and second dose, respectively. They further also increase the rate of monthly catch‐up vaccinations in adults by about 15% for the age group 20‐30 to up to 46% for those at ages 40‐50 in the first six months after an outbreak. One important finding is that regional outbreaks do not lead to increases in vaccinations in other regions even if public attention extends beyond the affected region. This suggests that behavioral responses are driven by affective rather than deliberative risk perception. Also, vaccination effects can be observed only in the few months following the outbreak, which indicates that changes in the perceived disease risk due to a local measles outbreak are short‐lived and fade away quickly once the disease outbreak is over.

Planetary Rhythms: Synchronous Circulation on Variably Irradiated Asynchronous Planets

description: Tidal locking of planets to their host stars results in an atmospheric circulation with a hotspot fixed to the frame of reference of the planet. On the other hand, asynchronously rotating planets feature moving hotspots either lagging or leading the corresponding substellar point as it translates along the surface. We show that a planet falling in the latter category could mimic the circulation of tidally synchronous planets under the influence of time-varying instellation, possibly provided by pulsating or multiple star systems. This happens when the planets diurnal period is in resonance with the period of instellation variation, leading to a planet-frame-fixed hotspot. Slight differences in the above periods lead to East-West or West-East creeping hotspots with a period significantly longer than both. The rate of hotspot motion is given by the difference between the diurnal and instellation variation rates, similar to the lower envelope frequency of beat patterns formed by two superposed waves in linear wave theory. We call this phenomenon beating. A combination of the radiative, rotational, wave propagation, and drag timescales establishes dynamical constraints on beating. Based on this we classify a set of Kepler and TESS circumbinary planets with two candidates exhibiting climatic departures from the no-variation scenario. In general, hotter and faster-spinning planets are more susceptible to climatic departures. Beating, if it occurs, may additionally create optimistic extensions of habitable zones for corresponding systems.

description: Recommendations• Communication I recommend scheduled meetings take place immediately between the Regional District and the City structured around the city’s need to purchase a new garbage collection truck in the coming months. This will act as a meaningful deadline that will drive dialogue, compromise, and decisions. Universal Service Provision I recommend universal service provision: all residents of the Powell River Regional District, urban and rural, should be able to divert their organic waste from the landfill. High Diversion Rate Achieved through: • Mandatory organic waste diversion, either through backyard composting or participation in the curbside program • The provision of kitchen and curbside bins • A reduced organic waste disposal rate • Extensive education campaign These recommendations—communication, universal service provision, and a high diversion rate achieved through mandatory organic waste diversion, the provision of collection bins, a reduced organic waste disposal rate, an education campaign, and monitoring and adaptation of the program, will bring the Powell River Regional District and the City of Powell River together to plan and operate a successful organic waste diversion program, creating a more economically and environmentally sustainable community, and leading the area one step closer to the realization of the Powell River Sustainability Charter.

Single-step genomic BLUP (ssGBLUP) is a statistical model for the simultaneous genetic evaluation of genotyped and nongenotyped animals. Usually, a small proportion of the population is genotyped. In this work, I experiment with absorbing ssGBLUP equations for nongenotyped animals into the ssGBLUP equations for genotyped animals to form a GBLUP. Then, I test the equivalence between the solutions from the (reduced-equivalent) GBLUP with those from the full ssGBLUP model.ContentsThis repository contains a Jupyter notebook (also available in R Markdown and HTML formats) written in R programming language, in which the data is presented and analyzed.

description: We study the quiescent ultra-diffuse galaxy FCC 224 in the Fornax cluster using Hubble Space Telescope (HST) imaging, motivated by peculiar properties of its globular cluster (GC) system revealed in shallower imaging. The surface brightness fluctuation distance of FCC 224 measured from HST is $18.6 \pm 2.7$ Mpc, consistent with the Fornax Cluster distance. We use Prospector to infer the stellar population from a combination of multi-wavelength photometry (HST, ground-based, WISE) and Keck Cosmic Web Imager spectroscopy. The galaxy has a mass-weighted age of $\sim$ 10 Gyr, metallicity [M/H] of $\sim -1.25$ dex, and a very short formation $e$-folding time of $τ\sim 0.3$ Gyr. Its 12 candidate GCs exhibit highly homogeneous $g_{\rm 475}-I_{\rm 814}$ colors, merely 0.04 mag bluer than the diffuse starlight, which supports a single burst formation scenario for this galaxy. We confirm a top-heavy GC luminosity function, similar to the two dark matter deficient galaxies NGC 1052-DF2 and DF4. However, FCC 224 differs from those galaxies with relatively small GC sizes of $\sim$ 3 pc ($\sim 35\%$ smaller than typical for other dwarfs), and with radial mass segregation in its GC system. We are not yet able to identify a formation scenario to explain all of the GC properties in FCC 224. Follow-up measurements of the dark matter content in FCC 224 will be crucial because of the mix of similarities and differences among FCC 224, DF2, and DF4.

description: Context.The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) Legacy Imaging Survey DR9 (DR9 hereafter), with its extensive dataset of galaxy locations and photometric redshifts, presents an opportunity to study baryon acoustic oscillations (BAOs) in the region covered by the ongoing spectroscopic survey with DESI.
 Aims. We aim to investigate differences between different parts of the DR9 footprint. Furthermore, we want to measure the BAO scale for luminous red galaxies within them. Our selected redshift range of 0.6 to 0.8 corresponds to the bin in which a tension between DESI Y1 and eBOSS was found.
 Methods. We calculated the anisotropic two-point correlation function in a modified binning scheme to detect the BAOs in DR9 data. We then used template fits based on simulations to measure the BAO scale in the imaging data.
 Results. Our analysis reveals the expected correlation function shape in most of the footprint areas, showing a BAO scale consistent with Planck's observations. Aside from identified mask-related data issues in the southern region of the South Galactic Cap, we find a notable variance between the different footprints.
 Conclusions. We find that this variance is consistent with the difference between the DESI Y1 and eBOSS data, and it supports the argument that that tension is caused by sample variance. Additionally, we also uncovered systematic biases not previously accounted for in photometric BAO studies. We emphasize the necessity of adjusting for the systematic shift in the BAO scale associated with typical photometric redshift uncertainties to ensure accurate measurements.

THE CRUCIAL ROLE OF CIO IN MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS: LESSONS IN EX-ANTE PLANNING

Subjects: mergers and acquisitions, information technology, integration, corporate mergers, organizational systems

description: In the ever-evolving landscape of corporate mergers and acquisitions, the significance of technology and information systems integration cannot be overstated. Throughout the 20th century, the methods for implementing mergers and acquisitions gradually evolved, leading to a more structured approach by corporations. However, it was in the 1980s that these corporate transactions began to have a profound impact on organizations, a trend that continues to this day.

As businesses recognized the need to integrate not only physical assets but also data and information, the role of technology and information systems (IS) became paramount. In today's corporate landscape, data, including processes and trade secrets, holds equal importance to physical assets. Managing and operating these digital assets require sophisticated software and systems (Robbins & Stylianou, 1999).

Modern corporate mergers bring forth new challenges, particularly in the realm of technology and IS. Successfully navigating these challenges necessitates a specific skill set in management to facilitate the merger process, incorporate IT into pre-acquisition planning, and mitigate potential business losses. One crucial aspect is managing the integration process to ensure that it aligns with the strategic objectives of the merger while maintaining day-to-day operational efficiency.

However, IT-related issues often lead to post-acquisition performance problems. To harness the full benefits of integration, organizations must clearly understand the interdependencies among their systems and align them with their business goals.

This dissertation embarks on a comprehensive exploration of these issues through a mixed-method research approach. It includes a literature review, data analysis, and the examination of implications and findings.

description: Forest regeneration needs to be applied under the direction of silvicultural prescriptions and the context of silvicultural systems. Management interventions should be implemented if the current or expected stand conditions are unfavourable for target species to achieve management objectives. To illustrate these concepts, this paper uses coastal Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii var. menziesii) as the target regeneration species, with the objectives of maximizing stand production and wood quality. Firstly, the ideal stand conditions for coastal Douglas-fir growth are discussed in this paper. Then functions of silvicultural systems and management methods are introduced. During the regeneration prescription process, the silvicultural system should firstly be determined. The stand should be site-prepared before regeneration if microsite conditions are unfavourable to coastal Douglas-fir growth. Different strategies are applied based on natural or artificial regeneration method. After sowing, or planting, animal damage and vegetation competition should be reduced to provide free growth condition to seedlings.

description: The stability of any pharmaceutical compound is most desired quality that determines its shelf life and effectiveness.The stability can be correlated to structural and bonding properties of compound and any variation arise in these properties can be easily determined by spectroscopic analysis. The present study was aimed to evaluate the impact of biofield treatment on these properties of four pharmaceutical compounds such as urea, thiourea, sodium carbonate,and magnesium sulphate, using spectroscopic analysis. Each compound was divided into two groups, referred as control and treatment. The control groups remained as untreated and treatment group of each compound received Mr. Trivedi’s biofield treatment. Control and treated samples of each compound were characterized using Fourier-Transform Infrared (FT-IR) and Ultraviolet-Visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy. FT-IR spectra of biofield treated urea showed the shifting of C=O stretching peak towards lower frequency (1684→1669 cm-1) and N-H stretching peak towards higher frequency (3428→3435 cm-1) with respect to control. A shift in frequency of C-N-H bending peak was also observed in treated sample as compared to control i.e. (1624→1647 cm-1). FT-IR spectra of thiourea showed upstream shifting of NH2 stretching peak (3363→3387 cm-1) as compared to control, which may be due to decrease in N-H bond length. Also, the change in frequency of N-C-S bending peak (621→660 cm-1) was observed in treated thiourea that could be due to some changes in bond angle after biofield treatment. Similarly, treated sample of sodium carbonate showed decrease in frequency of C-O bending peak (701→690 cm-1) and magnesium sulphate showed increase in frequency of S-O bending peak (621→647 cm-1) as compared to control, which indicated that bond angle might be altered after biofield treatment on respective samples. UV-Vis spectra of biofield treated urea showed shift in lambda max (λmax) towards higher wavelength (201→220 nm) as compared to control sample, whereas other compounds i.e. thiourea, sodium carbonate, and magnesium sulphate showed the similar λmax to their respective control. These findings conclude that biofield treatment has significant impact on spectral properties of tested pharmaceutical compounds which might be due to some changes happening at atomic level of compounds, and leading to affect the bonding and structural properties of compounds.

description: Spiral galaxies are ubiquitous in the local Universe. However the properties of spiral arms in them are still not well studied, and there is even less information concerning spiral structure in distant galaxies. We aim to measure the most general parameters of spiral arms in remote galaxies and trace their changes with redshift. We perform photometric decomposition, including spiral arms, for 159 galaxies from the HST COSMOS and JWST CEERS and JADES surveys, which are imaged in optical and near-infrared rest-frame wavelengths. We confirm that, in our representative sample of spiral galaxies, the pitch angles increase, and the azimuthal lengths decrease with increasing redshift, implying that the spiral structure becomes more tightly wound over time. For the spiral-to-total luminosity ratio and the spiral width-to-disc scale length ratio, we find that band-shifting effects can be as significant as, or even stronger than, evolutionary effects. Additionally, we find that spiral structure becomes more asymmetric at higher redshifts.

description: Structural changes in milk during gastric digestion are a key driving factor for the rate of digestion of nutrients in the gastrointestinal tract. Thus, the influence of gastric coagulation behavior on the kinetics of protein digestion of raw cow, goat, and sheep whole milk in the stomach was investigated using the three-week-old suckled male piglet as an animal model for human infants. Piglets received a single meal of fresh raw milk normalized for protein content, and were euthanized at 0, 30, 90, 150 or 210 min postprandially. Gastric chyme and cardiac blood samples were collected. Gastric pepsin activity, rate of protein hydrolysis, and gastric emptying of amino acids (AA) were determined along with how these changes influence the appearance of AA in the plasma. The disappearance rates of individual proteins (especially β-lactoglobulin and αS-caseins), total digested proteins entering the small intestine, as well as the gastric emptying of some amino acids (proline, leucine) were (or tended to be) greater for goat and sheep milk than for cow milk. Differences in plasma concentrations for some AA (e.g., leucine) were observed across milk types, but they did not directly reflect changes in gastric protein digestion and the gastric emptying of AA. In conclusion, a combination of protein (and AA) composition, susceptibility of specific proteins to hydrolysis, and the nature of the curd structure formed influenced the digestion behavior of milk proteins in the stomach and their subsequent release into the small intestine.

description: Paracetamol and piroxicam are non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), widely used in pain and inflammatory diseases. The present study aimed to evaluate the impact of biofield treatment on spectral properties of paracetamol and piroxicam. The study was performed in two groups (control and treatment) of each drug. The control groups remained as untreated, and biofield treatment was given to treatment groups. Subsequently, spectral properties of both drugs before and after biofield treatment were characterized using FT-IR and UV-Vis spectroscopic techniques. FT-IR data of paracetamol showed N-H amide II bending peak in biofield treated paracetamol, which was shifted to lower wavenumber (1565 to 1555 cm-1)as compared to control. Further, the intensity of vibrational peaks in the range of 1171-965 cm-1 (C-O and C-N stretching) were increased in treated sample of paracetamol as compared to control. Similarly, the FT-IR data of piroxicam (treated) showed increased intensity of vibrational peaks at 1628 (amide C=O stretching), 1576-1560 cm-1(C=C stretching) with respect to control peaks. Furthermore, vibrational peak of C=N stretching (1467 cm-1) was observed in biofield treated piroxicam. This peak was not observed in control sample, possibly due to its low intensity. Based on FT-IR data, it is speculated that bond length and dipole moment of some bonds like N-H (amide), C-O, and C-N in paracetamol and C=O (amide), C=N, and C=C in piroxicam might be changed due to biofield treatment. The UV spectrum of biofield treated paracetamol showed the shifting in wavelength of UV absorption as 243→248.2 nm and 200→203.4 nm as compared to control. Likely, the lambda max (λmax) of treated piroxicam was also shifted as 328 →345.6 nm, 241→252.2 nm, and 205.2→203.2 nm as compared to control.Overall results showed an impact of biofield treatment on the spectral properties of paracetamol and piroxicam.

description: Communication is the cornerstone of human interaction and the backbone of societal integration and development. For individuals who experience hearing and speech impairments, traditional verbal communication methods often present significant limitations, leaving them at a disadvantage in many social and professionalsituations. Sign language serves as a powerful and expressive visual language, uniquely enabling these individuals to convey complex ideas, emotions, and nuanced information through gestures and facial cues. Yet, the general public's limited knowledge and understanding of sign language perpetuate communication gaps and social exclusion. This research introduces SignaLearn, a sophisticated, real-time Sign Language Recognition (SLR) system built using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and implemented with the combined power of Python, TensorFlow, OpenCV, MediaPipe, and Matplotlib. Notably, SignaLearn avoids reliance on any web-basedtechnologies or frameworks, functioning entirely within a desktop environment to ensure broader accessibility, platform independence, and enhanced performance. SignaLearn operates by capturing real-time video input via a standard webcam and systematically processing this visual data through a meticulously constructed pipeline. This includes hand landmark detection using MediaPipe, precise region of interest (ROI) extraction, preprocessing procedures such as grayscale conversion andnormalization, and finally, classification using a deeply trained CNN. The underlying model has been trained on a comprehensive dataset of over 87,000 labeled ASL gesture images, enabling it to achieve high classification accuracy and robust performance across varied environmental conditions such as lighting changes and complex backgrounds. Furthermore, the system supports instantaneous prediction and visualization of ASL characters on-screen with minimal latency. Its modular architecture ensures that the framework can be easily scaled or extended to include new features, datasets, or hardware configurations. As part of future advancements, the system aims to support dynamic sign gestures, full-sentence translation, cross-linguistic gesture recognition, and seamless integration with Text-to-Speech (TTS) technologies, thereby converting visual gestures into spoken words.
