Their economic repercussions along the supply and trade network also affect remote economies that are not directly affected. We here simulate possible global repercussions on consumption for the example case of Hurricane Sandy in the US (2012) using the shock-propagation model Acclimate. The modeled shock yields a global three-phase ripple: an initial production demand reduction and associated consumption price decrease, followed by a supply shortage with increasing prices, and finally a recovery phase. Regions with strong trade relations to the US experience strong magnitudes of the ripple. A dominating demand reduction or supply shortage leads to overall consumption gains or losses of a region, respectively. While finding these repercussions in historic data is challenging due to strong volatility of economic interactions, numerical models like ours can help to identify them by approaching the problem from an exploratory angle, isolating the effect of interest. For this, our model simulates the economic interactions of over 7000 regional economic sectors, interlinked through about 1.8 million trade relations. Under global warming, the wave-like structures of the economic response to major hurricanes like the one simulated here are likely to intensify and potentially overlap with other weather extremes.

The dataset includes rainfall data from 12 rain gauges distributed within the study area complemented by meteorological data of 12 official meteo-stations. It comprises discharge data derived from water stage measurements as well as suspended sediment concentrations (SSCs) at six gauging stations of the River Isabena and its sub-catchments. Soil spectroscopic data from 351 suspended sediment samples and 152 soil samples were collected to characterize sediment source regions and sediment properties via fingerprinting analyses. The Isabena catchment (445 km(2)) is located in the southern central Pyrenees ranging from 450 m to 2720 m a.s.l.; together with a pronounced topography, this leads to distinct temperature and precipitation gradients. The River Isabena shows marked discharge variations and high sediment yields causing severe siltation problems in the downstream Barasona Reservoir. The main sediment source is badland areas located on Eocene marls that are well connected to the river network. The dataset features a comprehensive set of variables in a high spatial and temporal resolution suitable for the advanced process understanding of water and sediment fluxes, their origin and connectivity and sediment budgeting and for the evaluation and further development of hydro-sedimentological models in Mediterranean mesoscale mountainous catchments.

Die vielfältigen Ziele schließen den Kompetenzerwerb entsprechend den KMK-Vorgaben sowie die Berufswahlüberprüfung ein. Forschungsbefunde deuten jedoch darauf hin, dass nicht alle erhoff ten Ziele in Schulpraktika auch tatsächlich erreicht werden. Die konkreten Lernsituationen im Praxissemester standen hingegen bisher wenig im Fokus. Um dies aufzugreifen, interviewten wir für die vorliegende Studie N = 7 Lehramtsstudierende unmittelbar nach Abschluss ihres Praxissemesters zu den von Ihnen wahrgenommenen Lernerfolgen und den Lerngelegenheiten, in denen sie diese erzielten. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die Studierenden glauben, vor allem ihre Unterrichts-Kompetenzen weiterentwickelt und sich als Lehrkraft sowie ihre Lehrer:innenpersönlichkeit kennengelernt zu haben. Als zentrale Lerngelegenheit benennen sie insbesondere den Austausch mit den Mentorinnen und Mentoren. N2 - The student teaching semester, allowing the pre-service teachers to spend several months at a school, have become an important part of practical teacher training during university studies. The manifold aims include capacity building in teacher competences as well as providing an opportunity to review one’s career choice. At the same time, current studies show that practical teacher training tends to leave many of its aims unfulfilled. So far, however, the research focus was not on learning opportunities during the student teaching semester. To find out how pre-service teachers judge learning outcomes and opportunities, we interviewed seven pre-service teachers after the end of their student teaching semester. The results show that the pre-service teachers believe they developed their teaching competences and got to know themselves as „teachers“. To them, talking to their mentor teacher presented itself as the most meaningful learning opportunity.

Jahrhundert JF - PaRDeS : Zeitschrift der Vereinigung für Jüdische Studien = Transformative Translations in Jewish History and Culture N2 - The paper investigates how cultural and social capital were passed down to the next generations via letters of recommendation. Focusing on fathers recommending their sons to German Jewish banker Gerson (von) Bleichröder, the paper asks how father-son relations were described and which role equivalent backgrounds, especially in terms of Jewishness and social standing, played in this process. Mainly discussed are four different patriarchs approaching Bleichröder on behalf of their sons to further their careers. Making use of methods such as historical network analysis and semantic analysis the paper introduces the letters of recommendation as a complex yet promising practice in order to maintain, strengthen and even further the family’s (social) capital over generational changes. The paper finds trust and tradition to be crucial for successful recommendations. Situated at a liminal point of economic and personal spheres, recommendations shed new light on crucial questions of 19th-century Jewish history, such as acculturation and distinctiveness as well as on intra-familial dynamics in the face of profound social transformation.

Dieser Beitrag geht der Frage nach, welche Kompetenzen aus beruflichen Vorqualifikationen bei Informatikstudierenden existieren und wie diese in Bezug zu Anerkennungsoptionen gesetzt werden können. Betrachtet werden: die pauschale Anerkennung, die auf erworbenen Zertifikaten beruht; die individuelle Anerkennung, bei der individuell erworbene Kompetenzen nachgewiesen werden; die Adaption von individuellen Lernwegen, die Teilkompetenzen der Studierenden berücksichtigt. Es wird eine Interviewstudie vorgestellt, in der Kompetenzen für ein Sample von Informatikstudierenden mit Vorqualifikation als Fachinformatiker/in erhoben und eine Zuordnung zu den Anerkennungsoptionen vorgenommen wurde. Für die präzisere Gestaltung von Anerkennungsprozessen und zur kritischen Reflexion der eingesetzten hochschuldidaktischen Konzepte wurde eine empirische Basis geschaffen. Die vorhandenen Konzepte richten sich traditionell an Abiturienten/ innen mit sehr geringem Informatikhintergrund und berücksichtigen die tatsächlich existierende Heterogenität der Studienanfänger/innen nicht angemessen. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die Befragten aus ihrer Vorqualifikation relevante fachliche Kompetenzen mitbringen, die mit den Anerkennungsoptionen korrespondieren und deren Weiterentwicklung dienen können.

Alexander von Humboldt bemerkte und beschrieb um die Wende zum 19. Jahrhundert eine fundamentale Epochenschwelle, die er im Vorwort zu seinen Vues des Cordillères et Monumens des Peuples Indigènes de l’Amérique als eine „glückliche Revolution“ bezeichnete. Diese Revolution schloss für Humboldt auch die Tatsache mit ein, die Aufklärung nicht als eine rein europäische, sondern als eine transatlantische und weltumspannende philosophische Bewegung zu verstehen. N2 - This article discusses the epistemic changes and transformations that led from the famous Voyages around the world to the explorations not only of the coastlines but of the interiors of continents and islands in the light of what has been calles “the Berlin Debate about the New World”. In his Vues des Cordillères et Monumens des Peuples Indigènes de l’Amérique, Alexander von Humboldt detected a fundamental epistemic shift that he coined as “the happy revolution”. This revolution around 1800 included, for Humboldt, a new understanding of the term “Aufklärung” no more reduced to European dimensions but opening the term Lumières towards a transatlantic and even world-wide comprehension. N2 - Cet article présente les changements épistémiques qui menèrent des fameux Voyages autour du monde aux voyages d’explorations non plus seulement des régions littorales mais surtout de l’intérieur des pays visités. Afin de mieux comprendre ces transformations fondamentales, il est indispensable de recourir au fameux «Débat Berlinois sur le Nouveau Monde» qui opposait les philosophes Européens aux philosophes de l’hémisphère américain. Dans la préface à ses Vues des Cordillères et Monumens des Peuples Indigènes de l’Amérique, Alexandre de Humboldt detecta, d’une façon brillante, cette transformation épistémologique fondamentale qu’il traita de «révolution heureuse», tout en intégrant les Lumières du Nouveau Monde dans sa conception d’une République des Lettres vraiment internationale.

Their hands-free interface and growing capabilities have a wide range of applications in health care, covering off-clinic education, health monitoring, and communication. However, conflicting factors, such as patient safety and privacy concerns, make it difficult to foresee the further development of VIPAs in health care.
Objective: This study aimed to develop a plausible scenario for the further development of VIPAs in health care to support decision making regarding the procurement of VIPAs in health care organizations. Methods: We conducted a two-stage Delphi study with an internationally recruited panel consisting of voice assistant experts, medical professionals, and representatives of academia, governmental health authorities, and nonprofit health associations having expertise with voice technology. Twenty projections were formulated and evaluated by the panelists. Descriptive statistics were used to derive the desired scenario.
Results: The panelists expect VIPAs to be able to provide solid medical advice based on patients' personal health information and to have human-like conversations. However, in the short term, voice assistants might neither provide frustration-free user experience nor outperform or replace humans in health care. With a high level of consensus, the experts agreed with the potential of VIPAs to support elderly people and be widely used as anamnesis, informational, self-therapy, and communication tools by patients and health care professionals. Although users' and governments' privacy concerns are not expected to decrease in the near future, the panelists believe that strict regulations capable of preventing VIPAs from providing medical help services will not be imposed.
Conclusions: According to the surveyed experts, VIPAs will show notable technological development and gain more user trust in the near future, resulting in widespread application in health care. However, voice assistants are expected to solely support health care professionals in their daily operations and will not be able to outperform or replace medical staff.

The data recording setup and data analysis pipelines are both crucial aspects to effectively obtain relevant information from participants. Therefore, we performed a systematic review to provide a high-level overview of practices across various neurological disorders and highlight emerging trends. PRISMA-based literature searches were conducted through PubMed, Web of Science, and IEEE Xplore to identify publications in which original (i.e., newly recorded) datasets were collected. Disorders of interest were psychiatric as well as neurodegenerative disorders, such as bipolar disorder, depression, and stress, as well as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's disease, and speech impairments (aphasia, dysarthria, and dysphonia). Of the 43 retrieved studies, Parkinson's disease is represented most prominently with 19 discovered datasets. Free speech and read speech tasks are most commonly used across disorders. Besides popular feature extraction toolkits, many studies utilise custom-built feature sets. Correlations of acoustic features with psychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders are presented. In terms of analysis, statistical analysis for significance of individual features is commonly used, as well as predictive modeling approaches, especially with support vector machines and a small number of artificial neural networks. An emerging trend and recommendation for future studies is to collect data in everyday life to facilitate longitudinal data collection and to capture the behavior of participants more naturally. Another emerging trend is to record additional modalities to voice, which can potentially increase analytical performance.

We investigated whether the developmental decrease previously attested in anticipatory coarticulation, as well as the relation between coarticulatory degree and the consonantal context, also characterize carryover coarticulation. Sixty-two children and 13 adults, all native speakers of German, were recruited according to five age cohorts: three-year-olds, four-year-olds, five-year-olds, seven-year-olds, and adults. Tongue movements during the production of ə.CV.Cə utterances (C = /b, d, g/, V = /i, y, e, a, o, u/) were recorded with ultrasound. We measured vowel-induced horizontal displacement of the tongue dorsum within the last syllable and compared the resulting coarticulatory patterns between age cohorts and consonantal contexts. Results indicate that the degree of vocalic carryover coarticulation decreases with age. Vocalic prominence within an utterance as well as its change across childhood depended on the postvocalic consonant’s articulatory demands for the tongue dorsum (i.e., its coarticulatory resistance): Low resistant /b/ and /g/ allowed for more vocalic perseveration and a continuous decrease, while the highly resistant /d/ displayed lower coarticulation degrees and discontinuous effects. These findings parallel those in anticipation suggesting a similar organization of anticipatory and carryover coarticulation. Implications for theories of speech production are discussed.

N2 - Founded in 2013, OpenClassrooms is a French online learning company that offers both paid courses and free MOOCs on a wide range of topics, including computer science and education. In 2021, in partnership with the EDA research unit, OpenClassrooms shared a database to solve the problem of how to increase persistence in their paid courses, which consist of a series of MOOCs and human mentoring. Our statistical analysis aims to identify reasons for dropouts that are due to the course design rather than demographic predictors or external factors.We aim to identify at-risk students, i.e. those who are on the verge of dropping out at a specific moment. To achieve this, we use learning analytics to characterize student behavior. We conducted data analysis on a sample of data related to the “Web Designers” and “Instructional Design” courses. By visualizing the student flow and constructing speed and acceleration predictors, we can identify which parts of the course need to be calibrated and when particular attention should be paid to these at-risk students.

In this tissue, Wg (Drosophila Wnt-I) is presented on the apical surface of its source cells before being internalized into the endosomal pathway. Long-range Wg secretion and spread depend on secondary secretion from endosomal compartments, but the exact post-endocytic fate of Wg is poorly understood. Here, we summarize and present three protocols for the immunofluorescencebased visualization and quantitation of different pools of intracellular and extracellular Wg in WID: (1) steady-state extracellular Wg; (2) dynamic Wg trafficking inside endosomal compartments; and (3) dynamic Wg release to the cell surface. Using a genetic driver system for gene manipulation specifically at the posterior part of the WID (EnGal4) provides a robust internal control that allows for direct comparison of signal intensities of control and manipulated compartments of the same WID. Therefore, it also circumvents the high degree of staining variability usually associated with whole-tissue samples. In combination with the genetic manipulation of Wg pathway components that is easily feasible in Drosophila, these methods provide a tool-set for the dissection of secretory Wg trafficking and can help us to understand how Wnt proteins travel along endosomal compartments for short-and long-range signal secretion.

Objective: We will provide an overview of the annual publication numbers in this field and the most productive and influential countries, journals, and authors, as well as the most used, most co-occurring, and most recent keywords. Methods: Based on a data set of 356 publications and 20,363 citations derived from Web of Science, we conducted a bibliometric analysis using BibExcel, HistCite, and VOSviewer. Results: The strongest growth in publications occurred in 2020, accounting for 29.49% of all publications so far. The most productive countries are the United States, the United Kingdom, and Spain; the most influential countries are the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. The most productive journals are the Journal of Medical Internet Research (JMIR), JMIR Serious Games, and the Games for Health Journal; the most influential journals are Patient Education and Counselling, Medical Education, and Quality of Life Research. The most productive authors are Riva, del Piccolo, and Schwebel; the most influential authors are Finset, del Piccolo, and Eide. The most frequently occurring keywords other than “virtual” and “reality” are “training,” “trial,” and “patients.” The most relevant research themes are communication, education, and novel treatments; the most recent research trends are fitness and exergames. Conclusions: The analysis shows that the field has left its infant state and its specialization is advancing, with a clear focus on patient usability.

Migrants tend to adjust in height to their host communities. Objectives: Social-Economic-Political-Emotional (SEPE) factors influence growth. We hypothesized that Vietnamese young adult migrants in Germany (1) are taller than their parents, (2) are as tall as their German peers, and (3) are as tall as predicted by height expectation at age 13 years. Sample: The study was conducted in 30 male and 54 female Vietnamese migrants (mean age 26.23 years. SD=4.96) in Germany in 2020. Methods: Information on age, sex, body height, school and education, job, height and ethnicity of best friend, migration history and cultural identification, parental height and education, and recalled information on their personal height expectations at age 13 years were obtained by questionnaire. The data were analyzed by St. Nicolas House Analysis (SNHA) and multiple regression. Results: Vietnamese young adults are taller than their parents (females 3.85cm, males 7.44cm), but do not fully attain height of their German peers. The body height is positively associated with the height of best friend (p < 0.001), the height expectation at age 13 year (p < 0.001), and father’s height (p=0.001). Conclusion: Body height of Vietnamese migrants in Germany reflects competitive growth and strategic growth adjustments. The magnitude of this intergenerational trend supports the concept that human growth depends on SEPE factors.

T3 - Built environment city studies N2 - This book explores and debates the urban transformations that have taken place in Vienna over the past 30 years and their consequences in policy fields such as labour and housing, political and social participation and the environment. Historically, European cities have been characterised by a strong association between social cohesion, quality of life, economic ambition and a robust State. Vienna is an excellent example for that. In more recent years, however, cities were pressured to change policy principles and mechanisms in the context of demographic shifts, post-industrial transformations and welfare recalibration which have led to worsened social conditions in many cities. Each chapter in this volume discusses Vienna's responses to these pressures in key policy arenas, looking at outcomes from the context-specific local arrangements. Against a theoretical framework debating the European city as a model of inclusion and social justice, authors explore the local capacity to innovate urban policies and to address new social risks, while paying attention to potential trade-offs. The book questions and assesses the city's resilience using time series and an institutional analysis of four key dimensions that characterise the European city model within the context of post-industrial transition: redistribution, recognition, representation and sustainability. It offers a multiscalar perspective of urban governance through labour, housing, participatory and environmental policies, bringing together different levels and public policy types.

In striking contrast to its neighboring plates, Victoria rotates counterclockwise with respect to Nubia. The underlying cause of this distinctive rotation has remained elusive so far. Using 3D numerical models, we investigate the role of pre-existing lithospheric heterogeneities in continental microplate rotation. We find that Victoria's rotation is primarily controlled by the distribution of rheologically stronger zones that transmit the drag of the major plates to the microplate and of the mechanically weaker mobile belts surrounding Victoria that facilitate rotation. Our models reproduce Victoria's GPS-derived counterclockwise rotation as well as key complexities of the regional tectonic stress field. These results reconcile competing ideas on the opening of the rift system by highlighting differences in orientation of the far-field divergence, local extension, and the minimum horizontal stress. One of the largest continental microplates on Earth is situated in the center of the East African Rift System, and oddly, the Victoria microplate rotates counterclockwise with respect to the neighboring African tectonic plate. Here, the authors' modelling results suggest that Victoria microplate rotation is caused by edge-driven lithospheric processes related to the specific geometry of rheologically weak and strong regions.

Da diese häufig weniger Einfluss auf den Verlauf des Schulalltags von Lehrpersonen haben als externalisierendes Erleben und Verhalten von Kindern, werden internalisierende Verhaltensbesonderheiten von Kindern häufig seltener wahrgenommen und seltener als pädagogisch relevant eingestuft. Daher erfahren diese Kinder oft weniger förderdiagnostische Unterstützung. Mit dem Ziel der Entwicklung diesbezüglicher diagnostischer Kompetenzen der Studierenden wird das Psychodiagnostische Praktikum (PDP) mit praktischen Abschnitten und begleitenden Seminarsitzungen zeitgleich zum Praxissemester durchgeführt. Um Veränderungen in der Selbstwahrnehmung der Studierenden in Bezug auf ihre diagnostischen Kompetenzen im Rahmen des PDP abzubilden und damit das Gesamtkonzept zu evaluieren, wird ein selbstentwickelter Fragebogen verwendet. Der Beitrag stellt die konzeptuellen Gedanken des Fragebogens sowie die Ergebnisse einer ersten Pilotstudie vor. N2 - This article discusses diagnostic competences of pre-service teachers with a particular focus on dimensions of internalising behaviour difficulties. In comparison to externalising behaviour difficulties, internalising behaviour difficulties are more difficult for teachers to diagnose because children afflicted by them tend to show only little disruptive behaviour in class. Hence, children with internalising behaviour also receive less support. The goal of the supervised internship at school (Psychodiagnostisches Praktikum; PDP) is the development of each student’s diagnostic competences with a focus on internalising behaviour. The internship for primary school teacher students with the focus on inclusion consists of practical experiences with associated seminar sessions in which the students are preparing and conducting diagnostical surveys. Changes in student’s self-reported diagnostic competences are evaluated using a self-developed questionnaire. This article presents the conception and development of this questionnaire as well as first results of the pilot study.

Die Kooperation besteht aus zwei Seminaren. Während andere Fächer (u. a. Mathematik, Naturwissenschaften, Geschichte) bereits in der ersten Phase des PSI-Projekts Erkenntnisse zur Erfassung des erweiterten Fachwissens für den schulischen Kontext (eFWsK) vorgelegt haben, widmet sich die Englischdidaktik der Strukturierung des Professionswissens im Fach erst seit wenigen Jahren. Der Versuch, das eFWsK-Modell auf das Fach Englisch zu übertragen, stellt die Disziplin aus diversen Gründen vor eine besondere Herausforderung. Am Beispiel zweier verzahnter Lehrveranstaltungen zur Entwicklung von Diagnosefähigkeiten angehender Lehrkräfte zur Beurteilung von Sprechleistungen wird erörtert, welches fachwissenschaftliche und fachdidaktische Wissen durch die Verzahnung der beiden Disziplinen erworben wird. Zugleich werden offene Fragen diskutiert, die sich aus der Kooperation mit Blick auf eine Systematisierung relevanter fachwissenschaftlicher Inhalte für das Lehramtsstudium ergeben. Im Ausblick wird erörtert, warum eine Systematisierung des fachlichen Professionswissens mittels einer Delphi-Studie im Fach Englisch sinnvoll erscheint. N2 - This article presents a university course cooperation on the interlocking of linguistics and pedagogy in the teacher training program English at the University of Potsdam. While other subjects (including mathematics, natural sciences, history) have already introduced insights into recording extended subject knowledge for the school context (eFWsK) in the first phase of the PSI project, English didactics has only been dedicated to structuring professional knowledge in the subject for a few years. Attempting to apply the eFWsK model to the subject English poses a particular challenge to the discipline for a variety of reasons. Using a course on developing prospective teachers’ diagnostic skills for assessing speaking performance as an example, this paper discusses the content knowledge and pedagogical content knowledge that is acquired through the interlocking of the two disciplines. At the same time, open questions are discussed that arise from the cooperation regarding a systematization of relevant professional knowledge for the teacher training program. The outlook substantiates why it seems useful to systemize content knowledge in the subject English with the Delphi method.

H.E.S.S. observations were accompanied or preceded by multiwavelength observations with Fermi/LAT, XRT and UVOT onboard the Swift satellite, and ATOM.

When combined with previous spectroscopy results, the redshift of KUV 00311-1938 is constrained to 0.51 <= z < 0.98 and of PKS 1440-389 to 0.14 (sic) z < 0.53.

In den Modernisierungsprozessen stehen derzeit zwei Segmente besonders im Fokus: Digitalisierung und Partizipation. Digitalisierung geht heute weit über die ursprünglich mit diesem Stichwort angesprochene Umwandlung analoger Daten in elektronische Datenformate hinaus. Die Programmatik der Digitalisierung zielt auf den möglichst umfassenden Einsatz elektronischer Informations- und Kommunikationstechniken zur Unterstützung, Beschleunigung, Rationalisierung und in Teilen auch Ersetzung von herkömmlichen Verwaltungsabläufen mit der Perspektive auf eine Transformation und Durchdringung sowohl des gesamten Verwaltungshandelns als auch der gesamten Verwaltungsorganisation. Demgegenüber meint Partizipation nach gängigem Verständnis die Beteiligung von Bürgern und anderen gesellschaftlichen Akteuren an politischen Willensbildungs- und Entscheidungsprozessen. In spezifisch administrativem Zusammenhang geht es vor allem um die Einbindung von Bürgern in Entscheidungsprozesse der Verwaltung und um die Aktivierung der Zivilgesellschaft, die Erschließung bürgerschaftlichen Engagements sowie gesellschaftlicher Ressourcen für die Erfüllung von Verwaltungsaufgaben – und dies alles mit dem Ziel einer Verbesserung der Legitimität und Qualität öffentlicher Verwaltung. Die beiden Modernisierungsansätze stehen nicht unverbunden nebeneinander. Vielmehr gehen sie nicht selten ineinander über. Beispiele dafür sind die Bereitstellung von Optionen zu elektronischer Stellung und Bearbeitung von Anträgen sowie von elektronischen Plattformen für die Bürgerpartizipation. An diesen Themenfeldern der Verwaltungsmodernisierung setzt der Tagungsband an. Er dokumentiert den Gedankenaustausch über Digitalisierungs- und Partizipationsprozesse zwischen polnischen und deutschen Verwaltungsrechtswissenschaftlern auf einer Tagung, die im Dezember 2019 an der Universität Potsdam stattgefunden hat.

To this end, a total of twelve seminar cooperations were carried out within the framework of a project, in each of which a subject-specific seminar cooperated with a didactic seminar. The evaluation of these cooperations, which is based on a discussion of existing problems in the German teacher training program as outlined in the research literature and current comparable projects, is qualitative-analytical in nature and is based on guided interviews with the lecturers concerned. This detailed reflection on the cooperation seminars reveals, on the one hand, problems of the cooperation between subject science and didactics. On the other hand, on this basis, possible conditions for the success of effective cooperation(s) on the levels of planning, implementation and reflection of cooperation seminars are elicited.

Yet, compositional changes associated with shrub encroachment are often overlooked despite having important effects on ecosystem functioning. We document the compositional change and potential drivers for a northern Namibian Combretum woodland transitioning into a Terminalia shrubland. We use a multiproxy record (pollen, sedimentary ancient DNA, biomarkers, compound-specific carbon (delta C-13) and deuterium (delta D) isotopes, bulk carbon isotopes (delta(13)Corg), grain size, geochemical properties) from Lake Otjikoto at high taxonomical and temporal resolution. We provide evidence that state changes in semiarid environments may occur on a scale of one century and that transitions between stable states can span around 80 years and are characterized by a unique vegetation composition. We demonstrate that the current grass/woody ratio is exceptional for the last 170 years, as supported by n-alkane distributions and the delta C-13 and delta(13)Corg records. Comparing vegetation records to environmental proxy data and census data, we infer a complex network of global and local drivers of vegetation change. While our delta D record suggests physiological adaptations of woody species to higher atmospheric pCO(2) concentration and drought, our vegetation records reflect the impact of broad-scale logging for the mining industry, and the macrocharcoal record suggests a decrease in fire activity associated with the intensification of farming. Impact of selective grazing is reflected by changes in abundance and taxonomical composition of grasses and by an increase of nonpalatable and trampling-resistant taxa. In addition, grain-size and spore records suggest changes in the erodibility of soils because of reduced grass cover. Synthesis. We conclude that transitions to an encroached savanna state are supported by gradual environmental changes induced by management strategies, which affected the resilience of savanna ecosystems. In addition, feedback mechanisms that reflect the interplay between management legacies and climate change maintain the encroached state.

Although climate-based ENMs provide critical baseline information, the inclusion of non-climatic predictors related to vegetation cover might generate more realistic scenarios. This assumption is particularly relevant for species with life-history traits related to forest habitats and sensitive to habitat loss and fragmentation. Here, we developed ENMs for 36 Atlantic Forest endemic birds considering two sets of predictor variables: (i) climatic variables only and (ii) climatic variables combined with the percentage of remaining native vegetation. We hypothesized that the inclusion of native vegetation data would decrease the potential range distribution of forest-dependent species by limiting their occurrence in regions harboring small areas of native vegetation habitats, despite otherwise favorable climatic conditions. We also expected that habitat restriction in the climate-vegetation models would be more pronounced for highly forest-dependent birds. The inclusion of vegetation data in the modeling procedures restricted the final distribution ranges of 22 out of 36 modeled species, while the 14 remaining presented an expansion of their ranges. We observed that species with high and medium forest dependency showed higher restriction in range size predictions between predictor sets than species with low forest dependency, which showed no alteration or range expansion. Overall, our results suggest that ENMs based on climatic and landscape variables may be a useful tool for conservationists to better understand the dynamic of bird species distributions in threatened and highly fragmented regions such as the Atlantic Forest hotspot.(c) 2021 Associacao Brasileira de Cie circumflex accent ncia Ecol ogica e Conservacao.

This study aims to reconstruct changes in terrestrial vegetation composition and taxa richness during the glacial Late Pleistocene and the interglacial Holocene in the sparsely studied southeastern Yakutia (Siberia) by using pollen and sedimentary ancient DNA (sedaDNA) records. Pollen and sedaDNA metabarcoding data using the trnL g and h markers were obtained from a sediment core from Lake Bolshoe Toko. Both proxies were used to reconstruct the vegetation composition, while metabarcoding data were also used to investigate changes in plant taxa richness. The combination of pollen and sedaDNA approaches allows a robust estimation of regional and local past terrestrial vegetation composition around Bolshoe Toko during the last similar to 35,000 years. Both proxies suggest that during the Late Pleistocene, southeastern Siberia was covered by open steppe-tundra dominated by graminoids and forbs with patches of shrubs, confirming that steppe-tundra extended far south in Siberia. Both proxies show disturbance at the transition between the Late Pleistocene and the Holocene suggesting a period with scarce vegetation, changes in the hydrochemical conditions in the lake, and in sedimentation rates. Both proxies document drastic changes in vegetation composition in the early Holocene with an increased number of trees and shrubs and the appearance of new tree taxa in the lake's vicinity. The sedaDNA method suggests that the Late Pleistocene steppe-tundra vegetation supported a higher number of terrestrial plant taxa than the forested Holocene. This could be explained, for example, by the "keystone herbivore" hypothesis, which suggests that Late Pleistocene megaherbivores were able to maintain a high plant diversity. This is discussed in the light of the data with the broadly accepted species-area hypothesis as steppe-tundra covered such an extensive area during the Late Pleistocene.

T1 - Varieties of Supernatural Depictions BT - Classics in Contemporary Media JF - thersites 17 N2 - This article proposes several conceptual frameworks for examining the widespread use of classical intertexts depicting the supernatural in popular media. Whether the supernatural is viewed as reality or simply a trope, it represents the human capacity and desire to explore worlds and meanings beyond the obvious and mundane. Representations of classical gods, heroes, and monsters evoke the power of mythic stories to probe and explain human psychology, social concerns, philosophical questions, and religious beliefs, including belief about the paranormal and supernatural. The entertainment value of popular media allows creators and audiences to engage with larger issues in non-dogmatic and playful ways that help them negotiate tensions among various beliefs and identities. This paper also gives an overview of the other articles in this journal issue, showing overlapping themes and patterns that connect with these tensions. By combining knowledge of classical myths in their original contexts with knowledge about contemporary culture, classical scholars contribute unique perspectives about why classical intertexts dominate in popular media today.

Here, we propose an extended model where the self-effects are of both excitatory and inhibitory types and follow a Gaussian Process. Whereas previous work either relies on a less flexible parameterization of the model, or requires a large amount of data, our formulation allows for both a flexible model and learning when data are scarce. We continue the line of work of Bayesian inference for Hawkes processes, and derive an inference algorithm by performing inference on an aggregated sum of Gaussian Processes. Approximate Bayesian inference is achieved via data augmentation, and we describe a mean-field variational inference approach to learn the model parameters. To demonstrate the flexibility of the model we apply our methodology on data from different domains and compare it to previously reported results.

While reference grammars treat complementizers with a determiner as the standard option, previous diachronic research has shown that determiner-less complementizers actually predate relative complementizers with a determiner. Additionally, Yucatecan Spanish has been in long-standing contact with Yucatec Maya. Relative complementation in Yucatec Maya differs from that in Spanish (at least) in that the non-complex complementizer tu’ux (‘where’) is generally the only option for locative complementation. The paper explores monolingual and bilingual data from Yucatecan Spanish to discuss the question whether the determiner-less and bare que relative complementizers in our data constitute a historic remnant or a dialectal recast, possibly (but not necessarily) due to language contact. Although our pilot study may not answer these far-reaching questions, it does reveal two separate, but intertwined developments: (i) a generally increased rate of bare que relative complementation, across both monolingual speakers of Spanish and Spanish Maya bilinguals, compared to other Spanish varieties, and (ii) a preference for donde at the cost of other locative complementizer constructions in the bilingual group. Our analysis thus reveals intriguing differences between the complementizer preferences of monolingual and bilingual speakers, suggesting that different variational patterns caused by different (socio-)linguistic factors can co-develop in parallel in one and the [same] region.

T1 - Variation of Individual Location Radiance in VIIRS DNB Monthly Composite Images JF - Remote sensing N2 - With the growing size and use of night light time series from the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite Day/Night Band (DNB), it is important to understand the stability of the dataset. All satellites observe differences in pixel values during repeat observations. In the case of night light data, these changes can be due to both environmental effects and changes in light emission. Here we examine the stability of individual locations of particular large scale light sources (e.g., airports and prisons) in the monthly composites of DNB data from April 2012 to September 2017. The radiances for individual pixels of most large light emitters are approximately normally distributed, with a standard deviation of typically 15-20% of the mean. Greenhouses and flares, however, are not stable sources. We observe geospatial autocorrelation in the monthly variations for nearby sites, while the correlation for sites separated by large distances is small. This suggests that local factors contribute most to the variation in the pixel radiances and furthermore that averaging radiances over large areas will reduce the total variation. A better understanding of the causes of temporal variation would improve the sensitivity of DNB to lighting changes.

The wide variety of size, shape, and polymer composition of plastics impedes an adequate risk assessment. We investigated the effect of differently sized polystyrene beads (1-, 3-, 6-µm; PS) and polyamide fragments (5–25 µm, PA) and non-plastics items such as silica beads (3-µm, SiO2) on the population growth, reproduction (egg ratio), and survival of two common aquatic micro invertebrates: the rotifer species Brachionus calyciflorus and Brachionus fernandoi. The MPs were combined with food quantity, limiting and saturating food concentration, and with food of different quality. We found variable fitness responses with a significant effect of 3-µm PS on the population growth rate in both rotifer species with respect to food quantity. An interaction between the food quality and the MPs treatments was found in the reproduction of B. calyciflorus. PA and SiO2 beads had no effect on fitness response. This study provides further evidence of the indirect effect of MPs in planktonic rotifers and the importance of testing different environmental conditions that could influence the effect of MPs.

Les leçons du Programme Inter Carnot Fraunhofer (PICF) T2 - MEGA-Schriftenreihe N2 - Face à l’urgence environnementale, l’innovation dans le domaine des nouvelles technologies de l’énergie (NTE) constitue un défi primordial. Les NTE constituent un marché concurrentiel en plein expansion, où s’affrontent dès à présent les acteurs de l’innovation internationale. La R&D énergétique représente donc pour l’Europe un défi multiple : Il s’agit de développer les technologies qui nous permettrons de réduire nos émissions de gaz à effet de serre et nos dépendances énergétiques. L’innovation produite devra également garantir la place de l’industrie européenne à la pointe du marché des NTE dans un contexte hautement compétitif. La collaboration franco-allemande en matière de R&D énergétique recèle ici un potentiel d’innovation disruptive particulièrement important, grâce à des paysages de R&D fortement complémentaires. Les programmes bilatéraux constituent un outil prometteur pour la valorisation des synergies inexploitées. En permettant la mise en place de partenariats franco-allemands restreints, autour de thématiques précises, ils constituent en effet un outil complémentaire aux programmes européens. Le Programme Inter Carnot-Fraunhofer (PICF) constitue un exemple abouti de programme bilatéral ayant permis la concrétisation de collaborations mutuellement bénéfiques dans le domaine des NTE, grâce à la mise au point d’une procédure harmonisée. Néanmoins, l’analyse du PICF montre également que les programmes bilatéraux franco-allemands devront prévoir la possibilité de financements-relai afin de pérenniser les échanges. Dans le contexte particulier des NTE, une extension aux projets de démonstration ainsi qu’un ciblage des sujets porteurs sur la base d’un comité consultatif scientifique indépendant paraissent indispensables. Ces efforts franco-allemands pourront servir de modèle à l’innovation de rupture basée sur la valorisation des synergies intra-européennes. N2 - Im Kontext steigender Umweltbelastungen stellen Innovationen auf dem Gebiet der Energietechnologien eine zentrale Herausforderung dar. Dieser rapide wachsende Markt ist schon heute der Schauplatz eines erbitterten internationalen Wettbewerbs. Somit stellt die Energieforschung für Europa eine mehrfache Herausforderung dar: Die entwickelten Technologien sollen dabei helfen unsere Treibhausgasemissionen zu verringern und gleichzeitig unsere Abhängigkeiten beschränken. Zudem soll die produzierte Innovation dazu beitragen, den Industriestandort Europa als Spitzenreiter auf dem weltweit umkämpften Markt der Energietechnologien zu positionieren. Dank der sich stark ergänzenden nationalen Forschungslandschaften, birgt die deutsch-französische Energieforschungskooperation ein besonders hohes Potenzial. Bilaterale Forschungsprogramme sind ein vielversprechendes Werkzeug um ungenutzte Synergien zu fördern. Indem gezielt deutsch-französische Partnerschaften um bestimmte Fragestellungen angesprochen werden, vervollständigen bilaterale Programme die europäischen Förderwerkzeuge. Das Programm Inter Carnot Fraunhofer (PICF) ist ein ausgereiftes Beispiel eines solchen Programms. Dank harmonisierter Prozeduren, konnten gegenseitig vorteilhafte Kooperationsprojekte im Energiebereich verwirklicht werden. Die Untersuchung des PICF zeigt allerdings auch, dass bilaterale Förderprogramme die Möglichkeit einer Anschlussfinanzierung beinhalten müssen, um die angegangene Zusammenarbeit zu erhalten und zur Vollendung zu bringen. Im Kontext der Energieforschung sollten ebenfalls Demonstrationsprojekte in die Zielgruppe der bilateralen Förderprogramme aufgenommen werden. Ausschreibungen sollten thematisch eingegrenzt werden, fußend auf den Empfehlungen eines unabhängigen wissenschaftlichen Gremiums. Die deutsch-französischen Bestrebungen werden als Beispiel dafür dienen, wie innereuropäische Synergien zu bahnbrechender Innovation geführt werden können. N2 - In the context of increasing environmental concerns, innovation in the field of energy technologies represents a central bottleneck. This rapidly growing market is already the scene of fierce international competition. Energy research therefore represents a multiple challenge for Europe: The technologies developed should help reducing greenhouse gas emissions, while at the same time limiting our dependencies. In addition, the innovation produced should help positioning industrial Europe as a frontrunner in the globally competitive energy technology market. Thanks to the highly complementary national research landscapes, the Franco-German energy research cooperation has particularly high potential. Bilateral research programs are a promising tool for promoting untapped synergies. By addressing bilateral Franco-German partnerships on specific issues, bilateral programs complete the European funding tools. The Inter Carnot Fraunhofer (PICF) program is a mature example of such a program. Thanks to harmonized procedures, mutually beneficial cooperation projects in the energy sector could be realized. The PICF investigation also shows, however, that bilateral funding programs must include the possibility of follow-up funding in order to maintain the cooperation and bring it to completion. In the context of energy research, demonstration projects should also be included in the target group of the bilateral funding programs. Calls for proposals should be thematically limited based on the recommendations of an independent scientific body. Franco-German endeavors could then serve as a model of how intra-European synergies can be transformed into groundbreaking innovation.

Physics education research N2 - The Colorado Learning Attitudes about Science Survey (CLASS) is an instrument which is widely used in physics education to characterize students' attitudes toward physics and learning physics and compare them with those of experts. While CLASS has been extensively validated for use in the context of higher education institutions in the United States, there has been less information about its use with European students. We have studied the structural, content, and substantive aspects of validity of CLASS by first doing a confirmatory factor analysis of N = 642 sets of student answers from the University of Helsinki, Finland. The students represented a culturally and demographically different subset of university physics students than in previous studies. The confirmatory factor analysis used a 3-factor, 15-item factor structure as a starting point and the resulting factor structure was similar to the original. Just minor modifications were needed for fit parameters to be in the acceptable range. We explored the differences by student interviews and consultation of experts. With the exception of one item, they supported the new 14-item, 3-factor structure. The results show that the interpretations made from CLASS results are mostly transferable, and CLASS remains a useful instrument for a wide variety of populations.

In artistic gymnastics, however, only non-specific field tests have been used to assess endurance performance (e.g., Multistage Shuttle Run Test; Cooper's Test). Methods This study aimed to examine the validity of a new sport-specific endurance test in artistic gymnastics. Fourteen elite-level gymnasts (i.e., eight males and six females) participated in this study. The newly developed artistic gymnastics-specific endurance test (AGSET) was conducted on two different occasions seven days apart to determine its reliability. To assess the concurrent validity of AGSET, participants performed the multistage shuttle run test (MSRT). Maximum oxygen uptake (VO2max) and respiratory exchange ratio (RER) were directly assessed using a portable gas analyzer system during both protocols. Additionally, the total time maintained (TTM) during the AGSET, maximum heart rate (HRmax), maximal aerobic speed (MAS), and blood lactate concentration (BLa) during the two protocols were collected. Results The main findings indicated that all variables derived from the AGSET (i.e., VO2max, MAS, HRmax, BLa, and RER) displayed very good relative (all intraclass correlation coefficients [ICC] > 0.90) and absolute (all typical errors of measurement [TEM] < 5%) reliability. Further, results showed that the ability of the AGSET to detect small changes in VO2max, MAS, BLa, and RER was good (smallest worthwhile change [SWC0.2] > TEM), except HRmax (SWC0.2 < TEM). Additionally, results showed a nearly perfect association between the VO2max values derived from the AGSET and MSRT (r = 0.985; coefficient of determination [R-2] = 97%) with no statistically significant differences (p>0.05). The mean (bias) +/- 95% limits of agreement between the two protocols were 0.28 +/- 0.55 mlminkg-1. Discussion AGSET seems to present very good reliability and concurrent validity for assessing endurance performance in elite artistic gymnastics. In addition, the newly developed protocol presents a good ability to detect small changes in performance.

Hence, an increasing and growing number of studies rely on workability assessment scales as their primary outcome measure. The Work and Social Assessment Scale (WSAS) has been documented as one of the most psychometrically reliable and valid tools especially developed to assess workability and social functioning in patients with mental health problems. Yet, the application of the WSAS in Germany has been limited due to the paucity of a valid questionnaire in the German language. The objective of the present study was to translate the WSAS, as a brief and easy administrable tool into German and test its psychometric properties in a sample of adults with depression. Methods Two hundred seventy-seven patients (M = 48.3 years, SD = 11.1) with mild to moderately severe depression were recruited. A multistep translation from English into the German language was performed and the factorial validity, criterion validity, convergent validity, discriminant validity, internal consistency, and floor and ceiling effects were examined. Results The confirmatory factor analysis results confirmed the one-factor structure of the WSAS. Significant correlations with the WHODAS 2–0 questionnaire, a measure of functionality, demonstrated good convergent validity. Significant correlations with depression and quality of life demonstrated good criterion validity. The WSAS also demonstrated strong internal consistency (α = .89), and the absence of floor and ceiling effects indicated good sensitivity of the instrument. Conclusions The results of the present study demonstrated that the German version of the WSAS has good psychometric properties comparable to other international versions of this scale. The findings recommend a global assessment of psychosocial functioning with the sum score of the WSAS.
