Implementing education for sustainable development in the German school system

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Education, and education for sustainable development (ESD) in particular, plays a central role in building society’s capacity to address some of the most pressing societal challenges we are facing today. This central role is reflected in the commitment of the international community to global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), one of which is to ensure an inclusive education for all. Accordingly, it has been the aim of the Global Action Programme (GAP) to further develop and disseminate the results of the UN Decade of ESD (2005-2014). To ensure adequate implementation of ESD at all levels will ultimately require a focus on teacher education, both in higher education and on the job in the form of continuing professional development (CPD). Consequently, the GAP included a key action area explicitly aiming to strengthen the capacity of educators to become learning facilitators for ESD. More and more countries are embedding ESD in their priority areas for teacher education policies and practices. However, to prepare teachers for the challenge of implementing ESD at the school level, universities and teacher-education programs must embrace pedagogies that help foster the competencies required to take action and equip teachers to serve adequately as competent change agents. In this chapter, we illustrate how ESD can be implemented in different phases of teacher education and provide examples of structural support and progress achieved in Germany.
Long‐Term Outcomes of Thyroid Nodule AFIRMA GEC Testing and Literature Review: An Institutional Experience

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Objective To assess outcomes of thyroid nodules analyzed with the AFIRMA gene expression classifier (GEC) and to perform a comprehensive literature review. Study Design Retrospective analysis of patients with thyroid nodules who underwent AFIRMA GEC testing at our institution. Settings A tertiary care academic institution. Subjects and Methods We collected clinical outcomes for 416 thyroid nodules that were analyzed with AFIRMA GEC between 2011 and 2015, including long‐term follow‐up through 2019. We performed a comprehensive literature review. Results The resection rate for nodules with “suspicious” GEC results was 85% with a positive predictive value of 37%. The resection rate for nodules with “benign” GEC results was 24% with a negative predictive value of 90%. The prevalence of thyroid malignancy in patients with thyroid nodules with indeterminate cytology at our institution during this timeframe was 41%, thus lowering our negative predictive value. Mean follow‐up duration for unresected nodules was 27.8 months. Our resection rates for nodules with “benign” GEC were among the highest reported in the literature. Conclusions Molecular marker testing of thyroid nodules with indeterminate cytology can aid in the surgical decision making by obviating the need for diagnostic surgery and/or guiding extent of resection. Patients with other indications for surgery may not benefit from such costly testing.
High Performance Wideband CMOS CCI and its Application in Inductance Simulator Design

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

In this paper, a new, differential pair based, low-voltage, high performance and wideband CMOS first generation current conveyor (CCI) is proposed. The proposed CCI has high voltage swings on ports X and Y and very low equivalent impedance on port X due to super source follower configuration. It also has high voltage swings (close to supply voltages) on input and output ports and wideband current and voltage transfer ratios. Furthermore, two novel grounded inductance simulator circuits are proposed as application examples. Using HSpice, it is shown that the simulation results of the proposed CCI and also of the presented inductance simulators are in very good agreement with the expected ones.

A two-dimensional extensible bus technology and protocol for VLSI processor core : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Engineering in Computer and Electronic Engineering at School of Engineering and Advanced Technology, Massey University, Albany, New Zealand

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Intellectual property (IP) core design modularity and reuse in Very-Large-Scale-Integration (VLSI) silicon have been the key focus areas in design productivity improvement in order to shorten product development lead time as well as minimize design error on new product [11]. The System-On-Chip (SoC) design approach has been adopted in microprocessor design flow with many functional blocks reuse in silicon. SoC has the advantage of cost efficiency and higher fabrication yield. The fundamental building block of SoC is the interconnection of intellectual property (IP) core through a shared bus to establish an on-chip communication. As IP core integration is severely constraint by silicon wafer sizes (cost per die), the right level of integration is never an easy decision. System-in-Package (SiP) addresses this drawback with package level IP core integration. However, SiP has the drawback of lower fabrication yield which results in higher manufacturing cost [6]. In order to address these issues, a new level of integration has been suggested in order to reduce the drawbacks of SiP and SoC approaches. This new integration methodology is also known as System-in-System (SiS) which emulates SoC and SiP at the system level. \nThe thesis contains a detailed treatment on the processor architecture and SoC used. The design methodologies have been discussed too. \nThe thesis also contains treatment on the verification methodologies and technologies that are used in design validation. \nResearch includes the design of two dimensional XBUS system for external IP core integration on SoC. The thesis proposed a system level bus for IP integration through the XBUS. As there are multiple ways of integrating IP core at the system level, the XBUS is limited to two channels (hence two dimensional) in order to simplify implementation complexities. \nBased on experimental results, the proposed method can be introduced as a very promising method for the design of SoC and various other high-performance computer systems.
Learning-based Strategy, Toward a New Model of Strategic Behaviour

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

New theoretical models and approaches appear regularly in strategic management literature. Each of these "schools" tries to differentiate from the preceding by advocating a better understanding of the strategic processes operating in companies. These last years, a new dimension appeared in the strategic game: the concept of learning. Nevertheless, no links are made between this new concept and the existing theories in strategic management. In this paper, after a brief definition of learning as presented in the literature those last ten years, we try to link this concept with the existing schools in strategic management and derive a model that would integrate at the same time the different schools and this new concept.
Raw serum metabolomics from PCOS patients and healthy subjects

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

We collected serum samples from six PCOS patients and six healthy controls separately. The ultra-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS) was carried out on PCOS patients and healthy controls to identify differential lipid metabolites. The UPLC-MS analysis mass spectrometry data were compared with the human metabolomics database (Human Metabolome Database). And the length of retention time was used to determine the structural annotation of metabolites. The XCalibur Quan Browser software was used to extract the peak area of ​​metabolites, and the peak area data was exported to Excel software for finishing. Raw serum metabolomics data includes lipid information collected in positive and negative ion modes.
Effect of parthenolide, an NLRP3 inflammasome inhibitor, on insulin resistance in high-fat diet-obese mice

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

The activation of Nod-like receptor proteins (NLRP3) containing the pyrin domain inflammasome is a hallmark of the pathogenesis of metabolic disorders. Inhibition of the NLRP3 inflammasome by phytoconstituents has been attempted as a strategy to mitigate these disorders. Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of an NLRP3 inflammasome inhibitor, parthenolide (PN; 5 mg/kg i.p.) against inflammation and insulin resistance in high-fat diet (HFD) – obese mice. Treatment with PN and pioglitazone (PIO; 30 mg/kg p.o.) attenuated lipopolysaccharide (LPS; 1 ng/ml) – induced elevation of tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin-1β in mouse peritoneal macrophages in a dose-dependent manner. Sixty days of PN and PIO treatment marginally reduced obesity-induced insulin resistance in HFD-obese mice. PN treatment also decreased blood glucose from 14th to 60th day, supporting the hypothesis of simultaneous attenuation of inflammation and insulin resistance in obese mice. Thus, PN treatment was also evident with significant improvement in glucose tolerance and peripheral insulin resistance validated through the respective tolerance tests. Therefore, the present study suggests that PN, an NLRP3 inflammasome inhibitor, could be a possible therapeutic agent for attenuating obesity-induced insulin resistance.
Experimental design of high performance non volatile main memory swapping using DRAM

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

The mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets are increasing processor speed and they are desired more energy. We focus on the emerging non volatile memory (NVM), which has gained attention in recent years. A non volatile memory is new memory technology such as SST-MRAM, PCM and ReRAM. Any devices also can be accessed in byte units, high speed nanoseconds access latency and higher write endurance than the flash memory. Thus, it is possible to replace the DRAM of the main memory by the NVM, it is possible to achieve reducing the power consumption. Although potentially possible of large capacity, NVM product of capacity greater than DRAM is currently not appeared now. We should provide a large memory space without performance degradation by in combination with NVM and other memory devices. In this paper, we propose a method to use the DRAM as swap space. The proposed method provides an experimental design of the non volatile main memory system. It enables both of high-performance and energy efficiency.
Control of catalytic flow reversal reactors

Field: Chemical Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Catalytic flow reversal reactor (CFRR) is a special type of reactor that traps heat generated by exothermic reactions and utilizes the heat to preheat the feed. To do so, it reverses the feed flow direction periodically. However, without an effective control system in place to control the amount of heat in the reactor, the CFRR can either extinguish or overheat if feed conditions are extreme and prolonged. Thus, an effective control system must be implemented. It is widely perceived that Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controllers are superior in performance as compared to simple on-off controllers. In this thesis, the performance of the PI controller for control of CFRR is investigated and is compared with the on-off controller using a simulation model constructed using COMSOL Multiphysics®. Both on-off and PI controllers are implemented for heat and mass extraction strategies. The controllers are designed to control the amount of heat or mass extracted at the midsection of the reactor, with the objective of operating the reactor at the highest possible temperature for optimal conversion of methane, and at the same time without violating the upper temperature constraint in the catalyst beds. The results suggested that the average outlet methane concentration is slightly lower and efficiency slightly higher using both P and PI control as compared to on-off control.
[Screening carriers of the HBs-antigen with the use of a "group" passive hemagglutination reaction test].

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The passive hemagglutination test (PHAT) with a mixture of tested sera is suggested to be used in screening of HBsAg carriers. A pool of 4 sera is used in a test, diluted twofold with physiologic saline; thus the end dilution of each serum is 1:8. Examinations of 296 serum samples by the current and the 'group' methods have yielded the results that coincide. The 'group' PHAT method cuts down the consumption of the diagnostic agent 4-fold and is less labor-consuming.
Hand dexterity and mobility independently predict cognition in older adults: a multi-domain regression analysis.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background Motor function is a sensitive indicator of cognitive aging but the unique contributions of different motor domains are unclear when assessed together. Methods We evaluated 98 community-dwelling older adults (median age: 74). From a neuropsychological battery, a primary Global Cognitive Composite score (GCCS) and three secondary domain scores were derived using Principal Component Analysis (PCA). Motor predictors included the Nine-Hole Peg Test (NHPT), grip strength, Apraxia Screen of TULIA (AST), SPPB sub-tests (5-chair-rises time (5CRT), 4 m-walk time (4MWT), balance), and inertial measurement unit (IMU)-based gait parameters. Stepwise regression controlling for age and sex identified robust predictors of the GCCS. Results The final model identified several significant, independent motor predictors of the GCCS. Poorer hand dexterity (NHPT; β = -0.29, p < 0.01), slower 5CRT (β = -0.28, p < 0.01), and slower 4MWT (β = -0.17, p = 0.03) were associated with worse cognitive performance, while greater minimum toe clearance was associated with better performance (β = 0.19, p = 0.01). In contrast, grip strength, balance, usual gait speed, and measures of gait variability were not retained. The model explained 50.3% of the variance (Adjusted R2) in global cognitive performance. Conclusion Hand dexterity (NHPT) and specific functional mobility tasks (5CRT, 4MWT) are robust, independent predictors of cognition in older adults. Grip strength, balance, usual gait speed, and gait variability offer limited additional value when assessed together. The NHPT and timed SPPB components are accessible, pragmatic tools for motor-cognitive research and screening.

Abstrack- Educational Administration is the whole process of collaboration of two or more people by utilizing all available personnel and material resources and appropriate to achieve the educational goals that have been set effectively and efficiently. Professional teaching is a profession that is very important in the life of a nation, this is not because the educational position is very important in the context of national life. Educators are the dominant element in an educational process, so that the quality of education is largely determined by the quality of educators in carrying out their roles and duties in societ. Therefore the development of the teaching profession will have a major impact on improving the quality of education that is still lagging behind, as well as giving the right direction for students to play a role in the community to participate with the community in building the nation.
Synchronization of hair cell regeneration in the chick cochlea following noise damage

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

ABSTRACT Pure-tone overstimulation for prolonged time leads to hair cell death in frequency-specific regions of the cochlear epithelium. Unlike mammals, birds replace missing hair cells by stimulating mitosis in an uncharacterized precursor cell. Regenerated hair cells, initially identifiable by their immature stereocilia and small surface areas, differentiate into mature cells in a manner which parallels embryonic development. In the current study, we examined whether hair cell regeneration is initiated during noise exposure or after the end of acoustic trauma. We exposed 7- to 15-day-old chicks to a 1500 Hz pure tone at 120 dB SPL (re 20 μPa) for 4, 12, and 24 hours and examined the recovering cochlear epithelium with scanning electron microscopy to determine when regenerated hair cells were first identifiable. The earliest evidence of new hair cells appeared roughly 96 hours after the onset of 4-, 12-, and 24-hour exposures. Our previous studies initially identified new hair cells 96 hours after the start of a 48-hour exposure. Therefore, hair cell regeneration follows a similar time course relative to the onset of noise exposure, regardless of the ultimate duration of exposure. Since we estimate that hair cells take at least 48 hours after their genesis to form immature stereocilia, the signal which induces hair cell precursors to re-enter the cell cycle and to divide probably has its initial effects very early during the exposure period. (A previous report of these data was given at the 1991 American Society for Cell Biology conference.)
Geometry-based diffraction auralization for real-time applications in environmental noise

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Geometrical acoustics has become the number one choice in a variety of different virtual acoustics applications, especially if physics-based sound field synthesis at real-time rates is desired. The procedures for interactive auralization on the one hand and calculation of room impulse responses as well as outdoor noise prediction on the other hand are converging if not already merely differ in resolution of parameters, i.e., number of rays or order of image sources. When it comes to diffraction effects at geometrical boundaries, however, the discrepancy between model accuracy and calculation efficiency is still high due to the great computational effort required for geometrical path analysis and propagation simulation. The overall goal of ongoing research in this field aims at closing the gap between the two worlds: making diffraction effects audible in a Virtual Reality application with respect to correct physical sound propagation and true reproduction that is required for serious applications in acoustic consulting business and for research, primarily for outdoor noise situations.
A dynamic analysis of the comparative advantage of Coordinated and Liberal Market Economies

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

This study reformulated Hall and Soskice’s (2001) Varieties of Capitalism (VoC) theory of comparative advantage, based on results of previous empirical VoC studies, and insights from innovation and strategy scholars. The reformulated VoC theory was tested as a model of economic, technological and within-sectoral innovation strategy specialization. Also the influence of institutional change on comparative advantage was studied. Time series-cross sectional pooled regressions were used, that were performed using structural equation modeling methods, illustrating the large potential of this form of modeling in econometrics. With regard to technological specialization the results are in line with VoC theory: liberal market economies specialize in high-tech sectors (e.g. pharmaceuticals), whereas coordinated market economies specialize in medium-high-tech sectors (e.g. automotive). With regard to economic specialization only limited evidence was found for the specialization patterns as predicted by VoC theory. Moreover, specialization in radical innovations within certain sectors was not related to institutional structure. Finally, institutional change in the form of liberalization in coordinated market economies was found to have no large effect on their comparative advantage. All in all, the findings of this study provide only partial support for the VoC theory of Hall and Sockice (2001) and also question some of the findings of later empirical studies testing VoC’s claims.
Noncommutative Multi-Parameter Subsequential Wiener–Wintner-Type Ergodic Theorem

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

This paper is devoted to the study of a multi-parameter subsequential version of the “Wiener–Wintner” ergodic theorem for the noncommutative Dunford–Schwartz system. We establish a structure to prove “Wiener–Wintner”-type convergence over a multi-parameter subsequence class Δ instead of the weight class case. In our subsequence class, every term of k̲∈Δ is one of the three kinds of nonzero density subsequences we consider. As key ingredients, we give the maximal ergodic inequalities of multi-parameter subsequential averages and obtain a noncommutative subsequential analogue of the Banach principle. Then, by combining the critical result of the uniform convergence for a dense subset of the noncommutative Lp(M) space and the noncommutative Orlicz space, we immediately obtain the main theorem.
