description: Lictorella crassicaulis Fraser, 1943a
Lictorella crassicaulis Fraser, 1943a: 80, pl. 18, fig. 9.
Zygophylax crassicaulis.— Rees & Vervoort, 1987: 82.
Holotype: MCZ-IZ 9010-a: Barbados, USCSS Blake, 13°11’54”N, 59°38’45”W, 73 fm (134 m), 0 9 March 1879, several fragments of a single colony, in fairly good condition, without gonophores, coll. A. Agassiz, labelled “ type ”; 70% ethanol + fragment on SEM stub.
Type locality. Barbados: Blake Expedition Sta. 290, 13°11’54”N, 59°38’45”W, 73 fm (134 m) (Fraser 1943a).
Current status. Valid, as Zygophylax crassicaulis (Fraser, 1943a).
Remarks. Fraser (1943a) described Lictorella crassicaulis from a collection sent to him from the MCZ. No type for it was designated by him in that paper, but material of the species exists at the MCZ in both ethanol and on a SEM stub. That collection (MCZ-IZ 9010-a) is from the type locality, and it contains labels marked “ type ” and “ Lictorella crassicaulis Fraser ” (in Fraser’s handwriting). Rees & Vervoort (1987) referred to the collection as the “ type series”, but we consider it to consist of fragments of a single colony. A specimen count of “1” is given in the MCZ online database, and it seems certain that the fragment on the SEM stub was taken from it. No other type material is known to exist. We therefore regard the MCZ specimen as the holotype by monotypy (ICZN Art. 73.1.2). The colony described by Fraser was said to be 6 cm in height. Although its polysiphonic hydrocaulus is now broken into several pieces, and some of the hydrocladia are detached, the specimen is otherwise in reasonably good condition. The specific name of this hydroid is currently misspelled crassicaulus on most of the labels accompanying the specimen, and also in the MCZ online database.
Zygophylax crassicaulis is known only from its type locality off the west coast of Barbados. Fraser (1943a) did not observe the gonosome in describing this hydroid. The species has been taken to be valid by Rees & Vervoort (1987) and WoRMS.

Lictorella crassitheca Fraser, 1941b: 85, pl. 18, figs. 12a, b.
Zygophylax crassitheca.— Rees & Vervoort, 1987: 78.
Holotype. USNM 43456: USA, Maine, 31 m, five fragments and some detached hydrothecae of a single colony, in fair condition, without gonophores, labelled “ type ”; ethanol.
Type locality. USA: Gulf of Maine, 17 fm (31 m) (Fraser 1941b).
Current status. Valid, as Zygophylax crassitheca (Fraser, 1941b).
Remarks. Material designated by Fraser (1941b) as the “ type ” of Lictorella crassitheca at the NMNH (USNM 43456) presently comprises five fragments of what we regard as parts of a single colony. No indication of specimen number was provided in the original description. Rees & Vervoort (1987) referred to the collection as the “ type series,” but the specimen count in the online database of the NMNH is stated to be “1.” Recorded therein as a syntype, the specimen is taken here to be the holotype by monotypy (ICZN Art. 73.1.2). No other type material of the species is known to exist. Minimal collection data accompany the holotype.
In addition to the record from the Gulf of Maine, Fraser (1941b) recorded this species from R/V Albatross Sta. 2430, 42°58’30”N, 50°50’W, SE of Sable Island (Nova Scotia, Canada), 179 fm (327 m), 23 June 1885. In being listed separately from the “ type ”, however, the material is not considered part of the type series (ICZN Art. 72.4.6). That collection, from the upper slope near the southern tip of the Grand Banks of Newfoundland, was not found in the current online database of the NMNH.
In describing Lictorella crassitheca, no gonophores were observed by Fraser (1941b). Nematophores were said to be scarce and restricted to the polysiphonic hydrocaulus (Fraser 1941b, 1944a, b). Now assigned the binomen Zygophylax crassitheca, this species is currently recognized as valid (Rees & Vervoort 1987; Cairns et al. 2002; WoRMS).

description: User Stories record what must be built in projects that use agile practices. User Stories serve both to estimate effort, generally measured in Story Points, and to plan what should be done in a Sprint. Therefore, it is essential to train software engineers on how to create simple, easily readable, and comprehensive User Stories. For that reason, we designed, implemented, applied, and evaluated a web application called User Story Tutor (UST). UST checks the description of a given User Story for readability, and if needed, recommends appropriate practices for improvement. UST also estimates a User Story effort in Story Points using Machine Learning techniques. As such UST may support the continuing education of agile development teams when writing and reviewing User Stories. UST's ease of use was evaluated by 40 agile practitioners according to the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and AttrakDiff. The TAM evaluation averages were good in almost all considered variables. Application of the AttrakDiff evaluation framework produced similar good results. Apparently, UST can be used with good reliability. Applying UST to assist in the construction of User Stories is a viable technique that, at the very least, can be used by agile developments to complement and enhance current User Story creation.

Type species. Euperisiphonia rigida Fraser, 1940a, by original designation.
Current status. Invalid.
Remarks. Fraser (1944a: 232) referred Euperisiphonia Fraser, 1940a to the synonymy of Zygophylax Quelch, 1885 by assigning its type species, E. rigida Fraser, 1940a, to that genus. However, Rees & Vervoort (1987) transferred Euperisiphonia to Cryptolaria Busk, 1857, and that synonymy has been adopted in the WoRMS list and in other works such as that of Vervoort & Watson (2003).

Zygophylax rigida.— Fraser 1944a: 232, pl. 44, figs. 197a–d.
Cryptolaria rigida.— Rees & Vervoort, 1987: 51 [not Cryptolaria rigida (Fraser, 1948)].
Holotype. USNM 43439: Mexico, Quintana Roo, Yucatan Channel, R/ V Albatross Sta. 2354, 20°59’30”N, 86°23’45”W, 238 m, 22 January 1885, small beam trawl; ethanol.
Type locality. Mexico: Yucatan Channel, 20°59’30”N, 86°23’45”W, 238 m (Fraser 1940a).
Current status. Valid, as Cryptolaria rigida (Fraser, 1940a).
Remarks. The only known type material of Euperisiphonia rigida is in collections at the NMNH (USNM 43439). Designated as the “ type ” by Fraser (1940a), it is recorded as a holotype in the NMNH online database. The collection was referred to as the “ type series” by Rees & Vervoort (1987). However, Fraser (1940a) remarked in describing the species that the “largest fragment”, presumably of a single damaged colony, was 3.5 cm high. The gonosome of the species has yet to be described. This specimen could not be located at the NMNH during a visit by one of us (DRC) in September 2017.
Euperisiphonia rigida Fraser, 1940a has been referred to Zygophylax Quelch, 1885 in some works (e.g., Fraser 1944a, b; Vervoort 1968) and to Cryptolaria Busk, 1857 in others (e.g., Rees & Vervoort 1987; Vervoort & Watson 2003). Its correct generic assignment is still somewhat debatable (Vervoort & Watson 2003: 53), although the species is currently assigned to Cryptolaria in WoRMS. Also thought referable to Cryptolaria is Lictorella rigida Fraser, 1948 (Calder et al. 2009). Secondary homonymy arises when the two species are assigned to the same genus, whether Cryptolaria, as C. rigida (Fraser, 1940a) and C. rigida (Fraser, 1948), or Zygophylax, as Z. rigida (Fraser, 1940a) and Z. rigida (Fraser, 1948). To minimize potential nomenclatural confusion over the two, and see Schuchert (2015: 331), a replacement name is proposed here for the junior secondary homonym C. rigida (Fraser, 1948). That name, Cryptolaria crassa, nom. nov. (Latin crassus, thick, strong), refers to the thick and rigid hydrocaulus of the species.

description: Family Hebellidae Fraser, 1912c
Hebellidae Fraser, 1912c: 370.
Current status. Valid.
Remarks. Fraser (1912c) introduced the family Hebellidae for two genera, Hebella Allman, 1888 and Scandia Fraser, 1912c, the latter a new genus established by him in the same paper. The name Hebellidae had been used in a manuscript being prepared by Charles Cleveland Nutting (1858–1927), who granted Fraser permission to use it in his paper. Fraser (1912c) made the name nomenclaturally available and is therefore credited as its author (ICZN Art. 50.1). Nutting’s manuscript, intended as a volume on Lafoeidae A. Agassiz, 1865 and Hebellidae in his series on American hydroids (Nutting, 1900, 1904, 1915), disappeared after his death and was never published (Calder 2004).
Marques et al. (2006) presented evidence from a cladistic analysis supporting recognition of Hebellidae as a distinct family. That conclusion is now widely accepted, although it seems to be polyphyletic as presently classified (Moura et al. 2011).

title: Das Erstarken populistischer Parteien in der Slowakei und in Österreich seit Ende des 20. Jahrhunderts
Creators: name: Marks, Wolfgang

description: Wie der Titel der Diplomarbeit „Das Erstarken populistischer Parteien in der Slowakei und in Österreich am Ende des 20. Jahrhunderts- ähnliche Entwicklungen, unterschiedliche Entstehungshintergründe?“ bereits andeutet, wird in dieser Arbeit den Entstehungsbedingungen für den Aufstieg der populistischen Parteien in der Slowakei und Österreich nachgegangen und die Situation in den beiden Ländern verglichen. Seit Ende des letzten Jahrhunderts erleben populistische Akteure sowohl in Ost- als auch in Westeuropa einen bedeutenden Aufschwung. Dennoch findet man ländervergleichende Literatur zu populistischen Bewegungen in den beiden Teilen Europas leider noch viel zu selten. Dies war auch der Anstoß für mich, in einer ländervergleichenden Analyse folgenden Forschungsfragen nachzugehen: Welche begünstigenden Faktoren für den Aufstieg populistischer Gruppierungen in Europa können festgemacht werden? Welche Unterschiede und Gemeinsamkeiten lassen sich hinsichtlich der Entstehungsbedingungen in der postkommunistischen Slowakei und in Österreich festmachen? Meine Analyse zeigte, dass nur ein Bündel von Faktoren den Aufstieg des Populismus in Europa erklären kann und dass die Gemeinsamkeiten der Entstehungsbedingungen in den untersuchten Ländern überwiegen. Gerade in sozioökonomischer Hinsicht hat sich gezeigt, dass die sozialen Ungleichheiten, die durch eine neoliberal orientierte Wirtschaftsordnung entstanden sind, zu Unsicherheiten in der Bevölkerung führen. Ein großer Teil der Slowaken ist aufgrund der nicht erfüllten Erwartungen an den Systemwechsel und den Beitritt zur EU enttäuscht und viele sehen sich als Verlierer in diesem Prozess. In Österreich wurde nach einer langen prosperierenden Phase Anfang der 1990er Jahre der Sozialstaat zurückgeschraubt und die Schere zwischen Reich und Arm geht seither weiter auseinander. Dies erhöht den Unmut bei den Benachteiligten. In Österreich werden vor allem die beiden großen Parteien SPÖ und ÖVP von den Populisten dafür verantwortlich gemacht. Diese stellen die beiden Parteien als korrupte Eliten dar, die in der Konkordanzdemokratie die Macht auf sich aufteilen und die Interessen der Bevölkerung zu wenig beachten. In der Slowakei genießen die Parteien generell wenig Vertrauen und die Protesthaltung der populistischen Akteure kann hier ansetzen. Man kann also eine generelle Krise der repräsentativen Demokratie festmachen. Zudem setzen diese Kräfte auch auf den Nationalismus, der als identitätsstiftender Anker in der globalisierten Welt Halt geben soll. Es bleibt zu hoffen, dass die etablierten Parteien die Zeichen der Zeit erkannt haben und vor allem der sozialen Ungleichheit entgegenwirken. Ansonsten werden die populistischen Akteure weiter Erfolge erzielen und die Demokratie in Gefahr bringen.
title: Ungarns Nationspolitik und die Funktion von Nationalismus in der Transformation des politischen Systems
Creators: name: Fülöp, Sandor
Year: 2012

description: Vorstellungen der Nation, die auf einem kulturellen Verständnis basieren, sind essentieller Bestandteil ungarischer Politik. Durch die Analyse verschiedener Theorien des Nationalismus und der Nation, und mit Rückgriff auf Analysen politischer Mythen und Symbole ist ein funktionales Verständnis dieser Kategorien entwickelt worden, dass ihnen in bestimmten Modernisierungsprozessen konkrete Funktionen zuweist. Dabei wurde gezeigt, dass nationale Kategorien vor der demokratischen Wende Ungarns und währenddessen sowohl identitätsstiftende und aufklärerische, als auch systemstabilisierende Funktionen eingenommen haben. Nach der Wende wurden Konzepte der Kulturnation politisch implementiert und institutionalisiert. Diese gehen alle davon aus, dass die ungarische Nation über die bestehenden Staatsgrenzen hinaus, alle ethnischen Ungarn umfasst. Das vorgestellte Konzept der Kulturnation fungiert hier als Ersatz für die noch immer mangelhaft und defizitär empfundene äußere Beschaffenheit des ungarischen Staates.
description: Nationalist policies are an important part of Hungarian everyday politics. These are based on a concept of an imagined nation, which consists not only of the citizens of Hungary, but also of the roughly three million ethnic hungarians living beyond the borders of the country. This so called „nemzetpolitika“ played an important role in the democratic transformation of the country. Therefore more functionalist views on nations are more likely to explain these phenomena and the role of nationalism for the actors of the transition period. Another important theoretical factor are political and national symbols and myths. They play an important role in the instrumentalization of nationalist policies. It has been shown, that the hungarian opposition used nationalist rhetoric to transform itself into an fundamental political actor. The communist elites, on the other hand, instrumentalized nationalism to stabilize their crumbling regime. After the transformation the concept of the „cultural nation“ was institutionalized and served as a legitimation for „nemzetpolitika“. Even though there are different concepts of national policy, the concept of a cultural nation, whose borders go beyond the borders of the state, is deeply rooted in the hungarian political system.
title: Das Amerikabild in der norwegischen Literatur (1830 - 1900)
Creators: name: Timmermann, Dominik
Year: 2012

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit befasst sich mit dem Amerikabild in der norwegischen Literatur von 1830 bis 1900. Norwegens Unabhängigkeit von Dänemark 1814 und die Massenemigration in die USA ab 1836/37 hatten tiefgreifende Veränderungen zur Folge. Für das Amerikabild in Norwegen maßgebend war die intellektuelle Elite, die sich kritisch mit den politischen Verhältnissen jener Zeit auseinander setzte: Der Lyriker Henrik Wergeland (1808-45), der Amerika nie selbst bereiste, war zwar vom amerikanischen Liberalismus begeistert, nahm aber infolge der großen Auswanderungswellen eine zunehmend kritische Haltung gegenüber den USA ein. Der Landwirt und Politiker Søren Jaabæk (1817-90) verteidigte hingegen die Emigration und veröffentlichte eine Reihe journalistischer Publikationen, in denen er auf die Vorzüge Amerikas aufmerksam machte. Marcus Thrane (1817-90), der Begründer der ersten norwegischen Arbeiterbewegung, arbeitete nach seiner Emigration in die USA als Journalist und gründete ein norwegisches Theater in Chicago. Thranes Amerikabild wurde zunehmend kritischer, nachdem er selbst in dem liberalen Amerika soziale und politische Missstände erkannte. Der Autor Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson (1832-1910), der sich zwar als früher Gegner der Emigration erwies und große Bedenken gegenüber Industrialisierung und Materialismus bekundete, erkannte im Zuge seines Amerikaaufenthalts in dem politischen System des Landes ein Vorbildmodell für Norwegen. Kristofer Janson (1841-1917) arbeitete in den USA als Geistlicher und Autor. Zwar war er von dem liberalen und demokratischen Amerika begeistert, sah aber im amerikanischen Kapitalismus eine Gefährdung der Demokratie. Hans Tambs Lyche (1859-98), der in den USA als Ingenieur und Geistlicher tätig war, huldigte dem liberalen und technologisch aufstrebenden Amerika und teilte seine Einsichten anhand journalistischer Publikationen einer breiten Öffentlichkeit mit. Das Amerikabild des Autors Knut Hamsun (1859-1952) ist vor dem Hintergrund seines persönlichen Scheiterns in Amerika Fuß zu fassen zu betrachten. Seine Unzufriedenheit mit dem Land bekundet Hamsun in dem Werk Fra det moderne Amerikas Aandsliv (1889), in dem er amerikanische Werte, Sitten, Institutionen und die Literatur des Landes kritisiert.

description: Introduction: Prevalence of cigar use has been increasing among youth. Research indicates that youth are modifying cigar products either by "freaking" (ie, removing the filter paper) or "blunting" (removing the tobacco and supplementing or replacing with marijuana), yet little is known about youth who engage in this behavior. Thus, this study examines demographic and concurrent substance use behaviors of youth who modify cigars.
Methods: Data from the 2013 Cuyahoga County Youth Risk Behavior survey were examined (n = 16 855). The survey collected data on demographics, cigar product use, cigar modification behaviors, and current cigarette, hookah and marijuana use. Responses to cigar product use items were used to create a composite to classify youth in one of eight unique user categories. Univariate and bivariate statistics were calculated using SPSS complex samples procedures.
Results: Overall, 15.2% reported current cigar product use, 11.0% reported current freaking, and 18.5% reported current blunt use; taken together, 25.3% of respondents reported any current use of a cigar product. When examined by user category, of those who endorsed any cigar product use, cigars, cigarillos, and little cigars use only was most endorsed (26.3%), followed by Blunt only (25.2%) and all three (ie, cigars, cigarillos, and little cigars, freaking, and blunting; 17.4%).
Conclusion: A substantial proportion of high school youth who report using cigar products are modifying them in some way, with nearly half freaking and nearly two-thirds blunting. Given the FDA Center for Tobacco products recent extension of its regulatory authority to include cigar products, it is imperative to understand more about the prevalence of and reasons for cigar modification behaviors.
Implications: Although the FDA has recently enacted regulatory authority over cigar products, little is known about cigar product modification. This is the first study to concurrently examine two unique cigar modification behaviors, "freaking" (ie, removing the filter paper) and "blunting" (removing the tobacco and supplementing or replacing with marijuana). A significant proportion of high school youth are modifying cigar products to be used as a tobacco product and as a mechanism to smoke marijuana. More research is needed to understand these behaviors to prevent and reduce the use of cigar products among youth.

description: This study explores social cohesion as a strategy used by female sex workers to address layered HIV and sex work-related stigma. Data derive from a thematic analysis of 23 in-depth interviews and 2 focus groups with female sex workers living with HIV enrolled in a multi-level HIV/STI prevention, treatment and care intervention in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. Drawing on Foucault's conceptualisation of modern power, discipline and resistance, we argue that social cohesion provides the psychosocial space (of trust, solidarity and mutual aid) to subvert oppressive societal norms, enabling the reconstruction of identity. Among study participants, identity reconstruction happened through the production, repetition and performance of new de-stigmatised narratives that emerged and were solidified through collective interaction. Findings highlight that enabling the collective reconstruction of identity through social cohesion - rather than solely attempting to change individual beliefs - is a successful approach to addressing stigma.

description:   Research summary: Behavioral Theory highlights the crucial role of social comparisons in attention allocation in adaptive aspirations. Yet, both the specification of social reference points and the dynamics of attention allocation have received little scholarly examination. We address performance feedback from two social reference points relative to divisions in multidivisional firms: economic reference point and political reference point. Comparing divisional performance with the two reference points can give consistent or inconsistent feedback, which has important consequences for the dynamics of attention allocation in adaptive aspirations. We find consistent feedback leads to more attention to own experience, while inconsistent feedback results in more attention to the social reference point the focal division underperforms. Results reveal that political reference point plays an important role in determining managerial attention allocation  .    Managerial summary: This article is based on how goal‐based performance of divisions relative to both their relevant external market rivals and sister divisions in multidivisional firms influences corporate resource allocation. As a result, various combinations of performance against the two groups of peers drive the reallocation of divisional management attention. We show that specific attention shifts occur on average as a function of the focal division's performance relative to the marketplace performance  and that of sister divisions.

Hebella (?) eximia Fraser, 1944a: 207, pl. 39, figs. 185a, b.
Holotype. MCZ-IZ 9067: Dominica, USCSS Blake Sta. 185, 15°24’55”N, 61°27’10”W, 333 fm (609 m), 27 January 1879, coll. A. Agassiz; ethanol (specimen now missing from its vial).
Type locality. Dominique (Dominica): 15°24’55”N, 61°27’10”W, 333 fm (609 m) (Fraser 1944a).
Current status. Species inquirenda.
Remarks. While no name-bearing types of Hebella (?) eximia were designated by Fraser (1944a), the online catalogue at MCZ records type material of the species in the collection (MCZ-IZ 9067). That record does not specify the number of colonies, but Fraser’s (1944a) description was of a single colony. No types or other specimens were located elsewhere, including the Fraser Hydroid Collection at the RBCM. The MCZ specimen, apparently the holotype by monotypy (ICZN Art. 73.1.2), is now missing from its bottle. The vial originally containing it was carefully checked twice during this study, but no hydroids of H. eximia were found.
Fraser (1944a) founded Hebella eximia in his book on hydroids of the western North Atlantic. No gonosome was present, and he was uncertain of its generic affinities. Boero et al. (1997) referred it to the synonymy of H. scandens (Bale, 1888), given the resemblance of its trophosome to that species. Their conclusion has been upheld in the current WoRMS list. Based on Fraser’s account of the morphology of its hydrothecae, however, and the considerable depth from which it was collected, it may well be distinct. It is held here to be a species inquirenda. With the holotype now missing, designation of a neotype, following provisions of the ICZN, seems desirable if the species is re-discovered.

description: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) increases bone fracture risk. While the causes of bone fragility in CKD are not clear, the disrupted mineral homeostasis inherent to CKD may cause material quality changes to bone tissue. In this study, 11-week-old male C57Bl/6J mice underwent either 5/6th nephrectomy (5/6 Nx) or sham surgeries. Mice were fed a normal chow diet and euthanized 11weeks post-surgery. Moderate CKD with high bone turnover was established in the 5/6 Nx group as determined through serum chemistry and bone gene expression assays. We compared nanoindentation modulus and mineral volume fraction (assessed through quantitative backscattered scanning electron microscopy) at matched sites in arrays placed on the cortical bone of the tibia mid-diaphysis. Trabecular and cortical bone microarchitecture and whole bone strength were also evaluated. We found that moderate CKD minimally affected bone microarchitecture and did not influence whole bone strength. Meanwhile, bone material quality decreased with CKD; a pattern of altered tissue maturation was observed with 5/6 Nx whereby the newest 60μm of bone tissue adjacent to the periosteal surface had lower indentation modulus and mineral volume fraction than more interior, older bone. The variance of modulus and mineral volume fraction was also altered following 5/6 Nx, implying that tissue-scale heterogeneity may be negatively affected by CKD. The observed lower bone material quality may play a role in the decreased fracture resistance that is clinically associated with human CKD.
title: Die Entwicklung des Dienstrechts der Eisenbahnbediensteten in Österreich von den Anfängen bis zur Ausgliederung der ÖBB aus der Bundesverwaltung

description: Es wird die Entwicklung des Dienstrechts der Eisenbahnbediensteten in Österreich bis zur Ausgliederung der ÖBB aus der Bundesverwaltung dargestellt, ausgehend von den Dienstverhältnissen bei den privaten Bahngesellschaften im 19.Jahrhundert. Das Dienstrecht war im betrachteten Zeitraum vielfältigen Einflüssen unterworfen. Dazu zählen neben der Verstaatlichung der Bahnen die gesellschaftlichen Veränderungen, die volkswirtschaftlichen und militärischen Anforderungen des Staates und nicht zuletzt der technische Fortschritt. Es wird daher ein kurzer Überblick über diese Einflüsse und über die Geschichte des Eisenbahnwesens in Österreich gegeben. Betrachtet wird der rechtliche Charakter des Eisenbahner-Dienstrechts. Es hat sich bereits in der Monarchie weitgehend an das Dienstrecht der Bediensteten in der staatlichen Verwaltung angenähert. Herrschten bei den ersten Eisenbahngesellschaften rein privatrechtliche Verhältnisse, so trat in der zweiten Hälfte des 19.Jahrhunderts durch die Verstaatlichung von Bahngesellschaften und durch den Bau von Staatseisenbahnen eine öffentlich-rechtliche Komponente hinzu. Ein Höhepunkt in der Entwicklung wurde mit der Dienstordnung 1898 erreicht, die eine umfassende Kodifizierung der aus dem Dienstverhältnis resultierenden Rechte und Pflichten darstellte. Diese Dienstordnung bildete die Grundlage für das Dienstrecht der Eisenbahner im Staatsdienst bis zum Ende des Jahres 1995. Allerdings gab es im Laufe der Zeit Änderungen und Ergänzungen, so dass die Dienstordnung ihren Charakter als umfassendes Regelwerk verlor. Mit abnehmender Bedeutung der Eisenbahn für die Verwirklichung der wirtschaftlichen und militärischen Staatsziele - auch bedingt durch die Konkurrenz des Kraftfahrzeugs - sank auch die Notwendigkeit der engen Bindung der Bahnbediensteten an den Staat. Dies hatte zur Folge, dass die Rückkehr zu rein privatrechtlichen Dienstverhältnissen angestrebt wurde.

description: This Handbook is designed to support social work students who are undertaking a placement in a school setting, as well as provide information and guidance for supervisors who will be supporting them. Social workers have an extensive history of working in schools across the world in order to provide support to students and families in addressing the social determinants of health which impact upon learning and educational outcomes. Social workers bring complimentary skills, and knowledge to support existing school staff such as wellbeing teams, counsellors, and teachers. Social work students undertaking placements in schools have the opportunity to experience a variety of roles in which to grow and develop their social work skills further. This Handbook is mainly targeted at students but also provides essential information to task supervisors in relation to what might be expected of a social work student, and by the school. It can be used as a springboard for initiating helpful discussions between students on placement and supervisors with regards to how to structure a placement effectively. Please note that finer details contained in this Handbook relate to that of various NSW state schools. Schools should use this document as an example. It is provided in an electronic format, which you are able to amend by inserting your school information to fit your unique situations. This resource may be a helpful addition to your current school staff handbook, which some schools have made available to social work students. Other Universities are encouraged to do the same and insert their unique university Field Education structures, contacts and requirements into the Handbook for your students.

description: The following handbook is designed to establish social work field education placements in a NSW school setting. It is intended to provide information and guidance for school staff and for social work supervisors who will be supporting social work students. Social workers have an extensive history of working in schools across the world in order to provide support to students and families in addressing the social determinants of health which impact on learning and educational outcomes. Social workers bring complimentary skills, and knowledge to support existing school staff such as wellbeing teams, counsellors, and teachers. Social work students undertaking a placement in a school have the opportunity to experience a variety of roles in which to grow and develop their social work skills further. This handbook is mainly targeted toward school Principals, Deputies and Head wellbeing staff, as well as university Field Education staff. The content can be used as a springboard for initiating helpful discussions between schools and universities with regards to how to structure a social work field education placement. Staff at the university of New England (UNE), where this program has been implemented very successfully, have titled such placements; Social Work in Schools (SWiS) placements. This placement option is embedded within the overall UNE field education program for all students to seek if they so desire.

description: Previous studies have shown that parental protectiveness is associated with increased pain and disability in Functional Abdominal Pain Disorder (FAPD) but the role that perceived child self-efficacy may play remains unclear. One reason why parents may react protectively towards their child's pain is that they perceive their child to be unable to cope or function normally while in pain (perceived low self-efficacy). This study sought to examine (a) the association between parent-perceived child pain self-efficacy and child health outcomes (symptom severity and disability); and (b) the role of parental protectiveness as a mediator of this association. Participants were 316 parents of children aged 7-12 years with FAPD. Parents completed measures of perceived child self-efficacy when in pain, their own protective responses to their child's pain, child gastrointestinal (GI) symptom severity, and child functional disability. Parent-perceived child self-efficacy was inversely associated with parent-reported child GI symptom severity and disability, and parental protectiveness mediated these associations. These results suggest that parents who perceive their child to have low self-efficacy to cope with pain respond more protectively when they believe he/she is in pain, and this, in turn, is associated with higher levels of GI symptoms and disability in their child. This finding suggests that directly addressing parent beliefs about their child's ability to manage pain should be included as a component of FAPD, and potentially other child treatment interventions.
Partial Truths: Adults choose to mention agents and patients in proportion to informativity, even if it doesn’t fully disambiguate the message (Kline, Schulz & Gibson)

description: How do we decide what to say to ensure our meanings will be understood? The Rational Speech Act model (RSA, Frank & Goodman, 2012) asserts that speakers plan what to say by comparing the informativity of words in a particular context. We present the first example of an RSA model of sentence level (who-did-what-to-whom) meanings. In these contexts, the set of possible messages must be abstracted from entities in common ground (people and objects) to possible events (Jane eats the apple, Marco peels the banana), with each word contributing unique semantic content. How do speakers accomplish the transformation from context to compositional, informative messages? In a communication game, participants described transitive events (e.g. Jane pets the dog), with only two words, in contexts where two words either were or were not enough to uniquely identify an event. Adults chose utterances matching the predictions of the RSA even when there was no possible fully 'successful' utterance. Thus we show that adults’ communicative behavior can be described by a model that accommodates informativity in context, beyond the set of possible entities in common ground. This study provides the first evidence that adults' language production is affected, at the level of argument structure, by the graded informativity of possible utterances in context, and suggests that full- blown natural speech may result from speakers who model and adapt to the listener’s needs.

description: ‘Knowledge transfer’ is a topic of general interest, being one of the key links between the research arena and both practice and civil society, yet it has attracted scant scholarly attention. Furthermore, prior research on knowledge transfer has typically focused on particular aspects, leading to the investigation of specific topics, such as exploitation, and of specific groups, such as researchers. Therefore, based on our previous research, the current study attempts to widen the scope of enquiry by interviewing experts in the field of knowledge transfer from both inside and outside of academia. This paper gives an insight into our research strategy and presents the preliminary findings that have been obtained from the first 12 interviews.
Placing Timely Refreshing Services at the Network Edge

description: Accommodating services at the network edge is favorable for time-sensitive applications. However, maintaining service usability is resource-consuming in terms of pulling service images to the edge, synchronizing databases of service containers, and hot updates of service modules. Accordingly, it is critical to determine which service to place based on the received user requests and service refreshing (maintaining) cost, which is usually neglected in existing studies. In this work, we study how to cooperatively place timely refreshing services and offload user requests among edge servers to minimize the backhaul transmission costs. We formulate an integer non-linear programming problem and prove its NP-hardness. This problem is highly non-tractable due to the complex spatial-and-temporal coupling effect among service placement, offloading, and refreshing costs. We first decouple the problem in the temporal domain by transforming it into a Markov shortest-path problem. We then propose a light-weighted Discounted Value Approximation (DVA) method, which further decouples the problem in the spatial domain by estimating the offloading costs among edge servers. The worst performance of DVA is proved to be bounded. 5G service placement testbed experiments and real-trace simulations show that DVA reduces the total transmission cost by up to 59.1% compared with the state-of-the-art baselines.
