title: Ornamentsysteme 1680–1780
Creators: name: Seebacher, Tobias
Year: 2019

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit in Wien gefertigten sakralen Goldschmiedearbeiten zwischen 1680 und 1780. Da ein beträchtlicher Teil der heute erhaltenen Gegenstände über Edelmetallstempel datiert ist, können diese sehr einfach chronologisch miteinander in Beziehung gebracht werden. Es gab in diesem Zeitraum zudem eine rasch fortschreitende Entwicklung von Ornamenten, welche in ganz Europa Verbreitung fanden und somit auch in der Fertigung von Goldschmiedearbeiten angewandt wurden. Hier wird untersucht, wie die datierten Objekte aus Wien in eine allgemeine Ornamententwicklung einzuordnen sind und in welcher Art und Weise ornamentale Ideen an ihnen umgesetzt wurden. Zum Vergleich dienen dabei die Ornamentalen Vorlageblätter, welche die mittelalterlichen Musterbücher abgelöst hatten und seit der Erfindung des Buchdrucks in Form von Kopien über den gesamten Kontinent gehandelt wurden. Diese Blätter richteten sich zum Teil sogar direkt an Goldschmiede, da die plastische Materialität ihrer Rohstoffe eine feingliedrige Oberflächenbearbeitung ermöglicht. Wie ornamentale Vorlageblätter die Dekoration der Objekte beeinflussten und diese sich stilistisch weiterentwickelte ist die zentrale Fragestellung dieser Arbeit. Mit der Erforschung der ornamental-stilistischen Entwicklung der datierten Goldschmiedearbeiten ergibt sich eine zweite Chronologie, die im Vergleich mit undatierten Werken weiterhin nützlich sein kann.
description: This thesis concerns sacred goldsmiths’ objects made in Vienna between 1680 and 1780. A large quantity of extant objects is datable because of their hallmarks and thus, they can easily be arranged in chronological order and compared with each other. Moreover, du-ring this period there was a rapid development of ornaments, which circulated all over Europe and were also applied to goldsmiths’ works. I examine how dated objects from Vienna fit into a general development of ornaments, comparing them with a broad variety of ornamental prints, which displaced the medieval pattern books and were traded all over the continent in the form of copies after the invention of the letter press. In many cases the prints were directly dedicated to goldsmiths because the malleability of their raw materials made frequent usage of ornaments possible. A key issue in this study is the question of which prints influenced the Viennese objects and how these objects developed stylistically. Furthermore, the examination of how ornaments were used on dated objects and how they evolved enables a comparison with and classification of objects that have not yet been dated.

STRUCTURE AND ETHOS IN FAMILY LIFE: A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF THE TRADITIONAL CHINESE AND MODERN AMERICAN FAMILY

Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Contemporary U.S. white urban Protestant upper middle class families are contrasted with traditional non-gentry Chinese families as examples of two extremes of human action and thought patterns. It is the thesis of this dissertation that there exist specific continua in the realms of social structure and social consciousness that can be characterized by two extremes. By elaborating these extremes as polar ideal types, one can objectively map what has been deemed thus far as hopelessly subjective. The traditional Chinese and the contemporary U.S. families have been selected to illustrate historical settings that approach the poles of the specific dimensions which have been selected for elaboration. These dimensions are a general structural variable which focuses on superordination and subordination as well as three dimensions of subjective consciousness, namely solidarity, ideology, and morality. Roughly speaking, solidarity denotes a sense of identification with the group and is characterized by an individual's commitment and loyalty to the group. Ideology refers to a choice between what appears good or bad, that is, what appears meaningful and meaningless, and morality is described as the distinction between what appears to be right or wrong and denotes the sense of justice. The opposites of the structural dimension are found to be either hierarchical or coalescent; whereas solidarity is either communal or associational, ideology is either organic or voluntaristic, and morality is either authoritarian or libertarian. Through an examination of the literature concerning these two family types as well as the use of participant observation of overseas Chinese in Malaysia and of contemporary U.S. family life, the traditional Chinese family is found to be hierarchical, communal, organic, and authoritarian, while the contemporary U.S. family is depicted as coalescent, associational, voluntaristic, and libertarian. Atypical types are found among Chinese gentry and working class U.S. families which verifies the assumption that no society is ever void of continua variations.

description: Huntington's disease (HD) is an inherited neurodegenerative disorder caused by an expanded CAG repeat in the coding sequence of the huntingtin protein. Initially, it predominantly affects medium-sized spiny neurons (MSSNs) of the corpus striatum. No effective treatment is available, thus urging the identification of potential therapeutic targets. While evidence of mitochondrial structural alterations in HD exists, previous studies mainly employed 2D approaches and were performed outside the strictly native brain context. In this study, we adopted a novel multiscale approach to conduct a comprehensive 3D in situ structural analysis of mitochondrial disturbances in a mouse model of HD.
 We investigated MSSNs within brain tissue under optimal structural conditions utilizing state-of-the-art 3D imaging technologies, specifically FIB/SEM for the complete imaging of neuronal somas and Electron Tomography for detailed morphological examination and image processing-based quantitative analysis. Our findings suggest a disruption of the mitochondrial network towards fragmentation in HD. The network of interlaced, slim, and long mitochondria observed in healthy conditions transforms into isolated, swollen, and short entities, with internal cristae disorganization, cavities, and abnormally large matrix granules.

title: Psychomotorische Förderung im Wald
Creators: name: Gruber, Nina
Year: 2019

description: Die vorliegende Masterarbeit gibt einen Überblick über die kindliche Entwicklung von Drei- bis Sechsjährigen. Dabei wird auf die positiven Auswirkungen der Psychomotorik und im Speziellen auf den Einfluss der Waldpädagogik eingegangen. Aus grundlegenden Elemen- ten der Psychomotorik, ergeben sich Methoden für die pädagogische Arbeit mit Kindern mit einer Entwicklungsstörung im freien Setting. Die Psychomotorik ist gut mit der Waldpäd- agogik vereinbar, weil eine ganzheitliche Entwicklungsförderung möglich ist. Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit, werden neben theoretischen Aspekten der Psychomotorik auch ein ganzheit- licher Überblick über den motorischen, kognitiven, sprachlichen, sozialen und emotionalen Entwicklungsverlauf von Kindergartenkindern gegeben. Auf ausgewählte Entwicklungsstö- rungen wie ADHS und Autismus wird näher eingegangen und die Bedeutung von Naturer- fahrungen für das jeweilige Störungsbild und die sich daraus ergebenden Erleichterungen für ein soziales Miteinander genauer betrachtet. Die integrative Arbeit mit Kindern im Wald ist sinnvoll, weil jedes Kind dort seinen Platz findet und die individuellen Bedürfnissen der einzelnen Kinder berücksichtigt werden. Auf der Basis psychomotorischer Ansätze in Theo- rie und Praxis nach Kiphard und Seewald wird ein praktisches Konzept erstellt, das im Kin- dergartenalltag eingesetzt werden kann. Dieses Konzept dient grundsätzlich zur ganzheit- lichen Entwicklungsförderung der Kinder, vorranging jedoch zur Unterstützung der sozialen Integration von Kindern mit sonderpädagogischen Förderbedarf. Es werden die Rahmen- bedingungen und verschiedene Spielangebote für eine psychomotorische Förderung im Wald näher erläutert, die es zum Ziel haben, das Selbstbewusstsein der Kinder zu steigern wie auch die Entwicklung von sozialer und emotionaler Kompetenzen zu fördern.

Study of neutrinos from the Sun in the Super-Kamokande detector
Creators: name: Nakano, Yuuki
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: Neutrinos are generated via various physics processes in the Sun, such as nuclear fusion in the core, and solar flares due to the reconnection of magnetic field lines above sun spots. Those neutrinos provide information about neutrino properties, nuclear physics, and astrophysics. Super-Kamiokande (SK) is a multi-purpose water Cherenkov detector in Japan and studies neutrino interactions in the energy range from MeV to GeV. In this presentation, we overview the results of neutrinos from the Sun in the SK detector; the measurement of the neutrino energy spectrum and the oscillation parameters of solar neutrinos, and the search for neutrinos from powerful solar flares. In addition, we discuss future prospect of these studies after loading gadolinium (SK-Gd).

Retrospect And Prospects For Cross-Border Cooperation On The Historic Environment

Year: 2017
Subjects: Island of Ireland
Cross-border cooperation
Heritage

description: This paper identifies opportunities for cross-border cooperation on the historic environment on the island of Ireland. The policy context to support such cooperation is relatively favourable. For example, the 2013 Framework for Cooperation for the Spatial Strategies of Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland endorses the ‘careful conservation and enhancement of shared natural and cultural heritage assets’ on a cross-border basis, thus providing a ‘strategic entry point to further cooperation under the umbrella of spatial planning’.  However, the prospects for a strategic approach to cooperation in this space are relatively underexplored. No sustained focus is evident on the historic environment to compare with the in-depth work on shared services, evidence-informed planning and rural regeneration, amongst other topics.  Recent changes to the structure of public administration in Northern Ireland make this as opportune moment to explore the opportunities for cooperation, particularly given the ‘alignment of operations occurring between both jurisdictions’. The uncertain political climate following the UK’s decision to leave the EU further reinforces the necessity for the local heritage sector to collaborate on a cross-border basis on emerging and recurring challenges.
A STUDY OF PROFITABILITY IN THE UNITED STATES HEALTH INSURANCE INDUSTRY
Creators: name: Woodward, Albert Mesquita
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023
Subjects: classificationCode: 380108
subject: Health economics

description: The dissertation is a study of the determinants of profitability in the U.S. health insurance industry. Health economists have been concerned with measures of administrative efficiency and with legislated market advantages in explaining profitability. From their research these economists have drawn certain policy conclusions about the economic motivations and profit performance of the insurance carriers. Nonetheless, they have overlooked the profit effects of the carriers' actions as financial intermediaries. The study of these effects is the focus of this dissertation. The method of study is a combination of historical, industrial organization, and econometric research. The history is used to explain the evolution of market structure, government regulation, and the determinants of industry profitability. Industrial organization theory is necessary to understand the variables determining profitability. Econometrics is applied to financial data in order to elucidate the role of the carriers as financial intermediaries. The research indicates that the carriers act to expand their health insurance reserves. These are used not only to cover future expenses, but also to earn a financial return from investments. Profitability is primarily affected by this return on investment and secondarily by administrative efficiencies and legislated market advantages. The research implies that deregulation of the industry is ill-advised. Indeed, social control of health care financing through public ownership of the carriers' health insurance business may be more appropriate than the deregulation of the industry.

title: Psychomotorik und Tanz
Creators: name: Mitas, Laura
Year: 2019

description: Im Alltag vieler Kinder in unserer modernen technologisierten Gesellschaft findet wenig körperliche Bewegung statt, was zu einer mangelnden Auseinandersetzung mit dem eigenen Körper und dem eigenen Selbst führt. Die adäquate Wahrnehmung der eigenen Emotionen und Befindlichkeiten sowie des eigenen Körpers ist aufgrund der lebensweltlichen Veränderungen keine Selbstverständlichkeit mehr. Die gesellschaftlichen Gegebenheiten der heutigen Zeit machen eine „gezielte Bewegungs- und Kreativitätsförderung erforderlich“ (Neuber, 2000, S. 29). Durch solch eine kann auch die Selbstwahrnehmung von Kindern gefördert werden. Psychomotorik und Tanz können als zwei ganzheitliche Ansätze verstanden werden, die Entwicklungsförderung über das Medium Bewegung ermöglichen können. Psychomotorische Förderung ist prozess- und stärkenorientiert. Der Mensch mit seiner Individualität steht dabei im Mittelpunkt des Geschehens. In der Psychomotorik soll der Mensch körperlich in Bewegung versetzt, innerlich bewegt, kreatives flexibles bewegtes Denken stimuliert und ein Aufeinander-Zubewegen angeregt werden. Im Tanz ist der Bewegungsausdruck, der bewegte Ausdruck des inneren Zustandes, zentral. Für den Bewegungsausdruck beim Tanzen braucht es die innere Beteiligung des Tanzenden bzw. der Tanzenden. Im „bewegten Körperausdruck“ kann sich der Tänzer bzw. die Tänzerin intensiv selbst erfahren (GirodPerrot, 2012, S. 13). Durch eine psychomotorische Förderung mittels Tanz kann somit eine eigenaktive, kreative und neugierige Auseinandersetzung mit dem eigenen Körper und dem eigenen Selbst stattfinden. So können zahlreiche Körper- und Selbsterfahrungen ermöglicht werden, die der Förderung von Selbstwahrnehmung dienen.
title: Schriftspracherwerb bewegt
Creators: name: Penzes, Stephanie
Year: 2019

description: Da die Kindheit der heutigen Heranwachsenden durch die stetige Veränderung der Umwelt, wie etwa die steigende Digitalisierung und der Medienkonsum, beeinflusst wird, zeigen sich bei den Kindern erhebliche Defizite in den Basiskompetenzen für den Schriftspracherwerb und in den elementaren Grundvoraussetzungen. Es ist nicht selten, dass Schulneulinge Verzögerungen in der Entwicklung der Grob-, Fein- und Visuo- und Handmotorik, der Körperwahrnehmung und der sensorischen Integration aufweisen. Der Schriftspracherwerb ist laut Wendler (2008, S. 202) ein komplizierter, psychomotorischer Prozess bei dem kognitive, sprachliche und sensorische Fähigkeiten, koordinative, motorische Steuerungsfähigkeit, psychische Befindlichkeit und soziale Anforderungen von einem Kind verlangt werden. Die Psychomotorik eignet sich besonders um solchen Defiziten entgegenzuwirken, da hier ein ganzheitlicher Ansatz verfolgt wird. Der Schriftspracherwerb kann über verschiedenste Wahrnehmungskanäle individuell und ganzheitlich unterstützt werden. Daher ist die Psychomotorik bestens als unterstützendes Medium zum Erlernen und Festigen des Al-phabets geeignet und lässt sich perfekt in den Volksschulalltag integrieren.
description: The childhood of today's adolescents is influenced by the constant change in the environment, such as the increasing digitalization and media consumption, the children show con-siderable deficits in the basic skills for literacy acquisition and in the basic elementary prerequisites. It is not uncommon for newcomers to have delays in the development of gross, fine, visual and hand motor skills, body perception and sensory integration. Literary acquisition, according to Wendler (2008, p. 202), is a complicated, psychomotor process in which cognitive, linguistic and sensory abilities, coordinative, motor control, mental health and social demands are demanded of a child. The psychomotricity is particularly suitable to counteract such deficits, since a holistic ap-proach is pursued here. The acquisition of written language can be supported individually and holistically via various channels of perception. Therefore, psychomotricity is ideally suited as a supportive medium for learning and consolidating the alphabet and can be per-fectly integrated into everyday school life.

FOOD STAMP PROGRAM: A BENEFIT-COST ANALYSIS
Creators: name: Dyer, David Roy
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This dissertation examines the question of why the United States established and operates a Food Stamp Program as a major vehicle for income transfers. The Food Stamp Program is a seemingly complex means of transferring income, if, in fact, that is its only function. The purpose of this dissertation is to examine the economic and historical reasons for having such a program. In this dissertation we examine the benefits from and costs of operating the Food Stamp Program. The dissertation uses a microeconomic framework to illustrate the working of the program and then compares the benefit-cost ratio of the Food Stamp Program to that of the Aid to Families with Dependent Children Program. This comparison reveals that the Food Stamp Program may have the lesser cost. Further investigation of administrative costs and a re-examination of benefits lead to the conclusion that, while the Food Stamp Program may be slightly more cost effective in delivering benefits the reasons why the United States instituted an income transfer program in the guise of a food program can only be explained in an historical context. The historical examination of the development of the Food Stamp Program reveals that the form of the program was substantially influenced by the agricultural political constituencies of Congress. These results suggest that the Food Stamp Program is a likely model for a guaranteed minimum income program and warrants further empirical investigation to determine the costs associated with that or similar modifications of the existing program structure.
ANNIE - The Accelerator Neutrino Neutron Interaction Experiment

description: The Accelerator Neutrino Neutron Interaction Experiment (ANNIE) is a 26-ton Gd-loaded water Cherenkov detector installed in the Booster Neutrino Beam (BNB) at Fermilab. It aims to accurately detect and understand neutrino-nucleus interactions by measuring the resulting neutron multiplicity. ANNIE is also the first neutrino physics experiment to deploy Large Area Picosecond PhotoDetectors (LAPPDs) which will enable improved vertex resolution. To achieve the physics goals of the second phase of ANNIE, we must characterize the neutron capture efficiency throughout the detector volume, establish the beam-related neutron background and determine the vertex resolution enabled with LAPPDs.

However, they have important advantages including rigorous mass conservation, momentum conservation and isotropy. In addition, there is no need for explicit interface tracking/capturing and code development effort is relatively low. We describe applications of three particle methods: molecular dynamics, dissipative particle dynamics and smoothed particle hydrodynamics. The mesoscale (between the molecular and continuum scales) dissipative particle dynamics method can be used to simulate systems that are too large to simulate using molecular dynamics but small enough for thermal fluctuations to play an important role.

title: Der Zusammenhang zwischen vestibulärem System und Lernen
Creators: name: Scheibelhofer, Astrid Tina
Year: 2019

description: Das Ziel dieser Master-Thesis ist die Begründung des Zusammenhanges zwischen vestibulärer Stimulation und Lernen und die Ausarbeitung eines Gesamtkonzeptes für Volksschulkinder. Das Hauptaugenmerk wird dabei auf die Unterstützungsmaßnahmen von psychomotorischen und sensomotorischen Förderangeboten gelegt. Bedeutsame Aspekte von verschiedenen Autorinnen aus der sensorischen Integration werden theoretisch miteinander verglichen und verknüpft. Das vestibuläre System ist entwicklungsgeschichtlich gesehen das älteste aller Sinnessysteme (Goddard Blythe, 2016a, S. 105) und entwickelt sich bereits im Mutterleib. Durch die Verknüpfung zu anderen Körperregionen verschafft es eine Vielzahl an Sinneserfahrungen, leitet weitere Entwicklungsschritte ein und ist somit der Mittelpunkt jeder Handlung (Eliot, 2010, S. 209ff). Bereits mit der Empfängnis beginnt der Organismus zu lernen. Der Begriff Lernen bezieht sich auf verschiedene Aspekte, unter anderem im Schulkindalter auf das Erbringen von Schulleistungen. Viele Kinder leiden unter Lernschwierigkeiten, müssen täglich üben und können dennoch nicht die gewünschten Leistungen zeigen. Hinter Deutsch, Mathematik und Lesen verstecken sich komplexe Prozesse, die von vielen Faktoren abhängig sind (Ayres, 2002, S. 15ff). Lernförderung beinhaltet mehr als nur büffeln und pauken für die nächste Schularbeit. Die Basis setzt bei einer guten sensorischen Integration an und beinhaltet `sinn`-volles Lernen. Sensomotorische und psychomotorische Förderaspekte greifen genau diese Themen auf und bieten einfache Tests zur Überprüfung der sensorischen Integration und des Gleichgewichtssystems sowie Beispiele von einfachen bis komplexeren Unterstützungsmaßnahmen. Besonders für Lehrkräfte kann diese Arbeit hilfreich sein, Kinder mit Entwicklungsverzögerungen und Lernproblemen besser verstehen zu können und Bedingungen zu schaffen, die unterstützend wirken. Hirngerechte Bildungsangebote sind ein Beispiel, die das Lernen erleichtern können. Die Schule, die Nachmittagsbetreuung und der Hort sollen Orte sein, die Kinder mit allen Sinnen ansprechen und Spaß machen.

THE MANAGEMENT OF PEACE-MAKING IN EGYPT AND ISRAEL, 1977-79
Creators: name: Friedlander, Melvin Alan
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This dissertation seeks to incorporate a narrative of diplomatic events and negotiations surrounding the "Camp David Process" with an analysis of environmental factors constricting policy-decisions made in Cairo and Jerusalem. Anwar Sadat and Menachem Begin were able to successfully steward their nation's policies toward approval of a peace treaty in large measure due to extraordinary capacities for mastering techniques of intra-elite bargaining. Egyptian Vice-President Mubarak emerged in the aftermath of Sadat's glittering Jerusalem visit as a leader in the anti-peace movement. Mubarak's lead in the military-security establishment and alliance with members of the diplomatic corps enabled effective support for traditional Arab positions to grow within Cairo's hierarchy of elites. Sadat's maneuverability lessened and he began to orchestrate a very private and complicated agenda to structure peace with Israel. The Egyptian President manipulated symbols, shifted personnel, shattered treaty opposition, resurrected ties to the army, rural and urban middle classes as well as repaired decaying relations with Cairo's poor. The result was a more independent and self-assured peace program that led to Camp David and in time signature of an Egyptian-Israeli Peace Treaty. Camp David however was the rubicon for Menachem Begin. The Israeli Prime Minister accepted a formula for settlements removal in the Sinai to save peace. The moderate wing of Begin's cabinet was joyous. Those ministers and parliamentarians of the right were aghast. Epithets were hurled at Begin from among several constituencies and Israel was a divided nation in the fall of 1978. The remaining months before signature of the peace treaty in March 1979 witnessed Begin's attempt to modulate the vitrolic behavior of protagonists while managing a peace that would retain some semblance of security for Israel. Manipulation of elite behavior was conducted by Sadat and Begin against the backdrop of American Government intervention. Jimmy Carter's decision to broker a peace agreement in the Middle East often complicated the parties separate agendas for resolving diplomatic impasse. Yet in the end both Egypt and Israel would credit the White House as a singularly important influence in achieving treaty success.
Tau Neutrino Studies at the ICAL detector in INO

description: We present the results of the first simulation based analysis of tau neutrino events at the proposed magnetized Iron Calorimeter (ICAL) detector in the India Based Neutrino Observatory (INO) facility. We show that the detection capability of tau neutrinos is more than 3σ confidence level for a period of 10 years. This analysis was performed by studying the combined sample of tau events from Charged Current (CC) tau neutrino (and anti-neutrino) interactions in the detector and the Neutral Current (NC) background events produced from the interactions of neutrinos of all flavors. The hadronically decaying taus from the CC tau events (which comprise 67%) of the tau events) and the NC events produce hadrons predominantly and can be separated from the dominant CC νμ interactions (so-called standard muon events which are the main focus of ICAL physics) where the final state muon will leave long curved tracks due to the magnetized iron plates in ICAL in addition to hadron showers. We also show that these combined hadronic events are sensitive to the neutrino oscillation parameters sin2θ23 (including its octant) and Δm2 even with the inclusion of several possible systematic uncertainties. Since the origin of the standard muon and hadronic events are both from the same atmospheric electron and muon neutrinos, they have common systematic errors. We show that there is a significant improvement in the precision to which these oscillation parameters can be measured when the standard muon events are combined with the hadronic events arising from the CC tau and NC interactions.

title: Kinderleicht zur Ruhe finden - psychomotorische Inseln der Entspannung in der Volksschule
Creators: name: Kocmata, Veronika
Year: 2019

description: Die gegenwärtige Masterarbeit thematisiert den Einfluss der Entspannung auf ein lernförderliches Klima in der Volksschule und die Aufbereitung psychomotorischer Entspannungsangebote. Die Gliederung der Arbeit erfolgt in zwei Bereiche, einen theoretischen und einen praktischen Teil. Eingangs wird die Notwendigkeit für das Thema Entspannung im heutigen Kinderalltag begründet. Der theoretische Teil befasst sich mit der Thematik der allgemeinen Psychomotorik, dem Entspannungsbegriff, deren Wirkungsweise und Bedeutung ehe auf die Integration dieses Mittels in der Schule näher eingegangen sowie Informationen über die Klassifizierung kindgemäßer Entspannungsverfahren vermittelt werden. Der praktische Teil der Arbeit setzt sich mit verschiedenen, methodischen Zugängen auseinander und zeigt die altersgerechte Umsetzung vielfältiger Entspannungseinheiten im Schulalltag. Hierbei wird deutlich, dass neben der Entspannung und der Stille auch Förderziele wie Achtsamkeit, Konzentration, Wahrnehmung, Fantasie und Kreativität angesprochen werden. Abschließend lässt sich feststellen, dass die eingangs aufgestellte Hypothese - über die Verbesserung des Lernklimas in der Klasse durch den Einsatz von Entspannung - verifiziert werden konnte. Die praktischen Beispiele erweitern die klassischen, allseits bekannten Entspannungsverfahren um viele kindgemäße, spielerische und erlebnisorientierte Übungen.
description: This master thesis deals with the influence of relaxation in a learning-friendly climate at elementary school and the process of different psychometrical relaxation techniques. The structure of this work is divided into two sections, a theoretical part and a practical part. At the beginning, the importance of relaxation in today's childhood is explained. The theoretical part deals with general psychomotricity, the concept of relaxation, their effects and meaning before it is integrated in school and information on the classifications of child-friendly relaxation methods is provided. The practical part of the work deals with different methodical approaches and shows the age-appropriate implementation of diverse relaxation units in everyday school life. Here it becomes clear that in addition to relaxation and silence other goals such as mindfulness, concentration, perception, imagination and creativity should be addressed. In conclusion, it can be stated that the hypothesis made at the beginning - on improving classroom learning with the use of relaxation - could be verified. The practical examples expand the classic, well-known relaxation methods by many child-oriented, playful and experience-oriented exercises.
