Mobile Endgeräte und Applikationen (Apps) sind dank vielfältiger Kommunikations-, Informations- und Assistenzfunktionen zu einem unverzichtbaren Bestandteil unseres täglichen Lebens geworden. Inzwischen hat sich insbesondere im Hochschulumfeld eine bunte Vielfalt an mobilen Unterstützungsangeboten etabliert, beginnend bei zentral angebotenen Uni-Apps bis hin zu unterschiedlichen Apps zur Ausgestaltung einzelner Lehrveranstaltungen oder individueller Lehr- und Lernszenarien. Angesichts der großen Aufwände zur Entwicklung, Distribution und Pflege mobiler Anwendungen ist ein Einsatz für eine möglichst große Zielgruppe wünschenswert. Dies kann jedoch mit dem Charakter mobiler Endgeräte als persönliche, individualisierte Assistenten kollidieren.
In diesem Beitrag werden entlang dieses Spektrums zwischen (fach-)spezifischen Einzellösungen und breiten Allroundern verschiedene mobile Unterstützungsangebote aus dem Hochschulbereich vorgestellt, hinsichtlich ihres Einsatzes kontextuell eingeordnet und systematisiert. Dies umfasst mobile Anwendungen, die allgemeine organisatorische Aspekte des Studiums, bestimmte Felder wie die Studieneingangsphase oder die konkrete Begleitung hybrider Lernszenarien fokussieren. Es schließt sich eine App-Auswahl an, die fachspezifischen Aspekten Rechnung trägt und in denen Inhalte in Form von Serious Games, Simulationen und Inhaltsmodulen aufbereitet sind. Neben Lehre und Studium wird auch die Forschung in den Fokus gerückt, wo Apps gleichermaßen als Forschungsgegenstand und Datenerhebungsinstrument wirken. Aus der Fülle dieser Entwicklungen resultiert eine App-Vielfalt, die verschiedene Herausforderungen aufwirft. Der Beitrag stellt die spezifischen Herausforderungen zusammen und spricht Empfehlungen aus. Dabei werden sowohl organisatorische, inhaltliche und technische Fragestellungen thematisiert als auch rechtliche Gesichtspunkte bezüglich Datenschutz und Copyright tangiert.
Introduction
(2018)
The rise of populism has promoted a broad, vivid and flourishing debate in the social sciences that seems to have arisen even in the face of the ties between right-wing populism and the extreme right. The social sciences are struggling with how properly to conceptualise and theorise populism as a social and political phenomenon. Incongruity or asynchrony of events in factual history and their being conceptualised is obviously critical with regard to the problems that arise with defining and conceptualising populism. The plurality of usages, applications and meanings of populism thus only shows how, in a vivid debate, scholars can observe a contest for coming to terms with a concept that remains in flux and that needs to be continually revised given rapidly changing social conditions. The chapter also presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in this book.
The grammatization of European vernacular languages began in the Late Middle Ages and Renaissance and continued up until the end of the 18th century. Through this process, grammars were written for the vernaculars and, as a result, the vernaculars were able to establish themselves in important areas of communication. Vernacular grammars largely followed the example of those written for Latin, using Latin descriptive categories without fully adapting them to the vernaculars. In accord with the Greco-Latin tradition, the grammars typically contain sections on orthography, prosody, morphology, and syntax, with the most space devoted to the treatment of word classes in the section on “etymology.” The earliest grammars of vernaculars had two main goals: on the one hand, making the languages described accessible to non-native speakers, and on the other, supporting the learning of Latin grammar by teaching the grammar of speakers’ native languages. Initially, it was considered unnecessary to engage with the grammar of native languages for their own sake, since they were thought to be acquired spontaneously. Only gradually did a need for normative grammars develop which sought to codify languages. This development relied on an awareness of the value of vernaculars that attributed a certain degree of perfection to them. Grammars of indigenous languages in colonized areas were based on those of European languages and today offer information about the early state of those languages, and are indeed sometimes the only sources for now extinct languages. Grammars of vernaculars came into being in the contrasting contexts of general grammar and the grammars of individual languages, between grammar as science and as art and between description and standardization. In the standardization of languages, the guiding principle could either be that of anomaly, which took a particular variety of a language as the basis of the description, or that of analogy, which permitted interventions into a language aimed at making it more uniform.
Nuesiri assesses the UN-REDD (United Nations Collaborative Programme on Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation in Developing Countries) commitment to strengthen local democracy as a safeguard protecting local interests in REDD+ (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation with the added goals of Conserving and Enhancing Forest Carbon Stocks, and Sustainably Managing Forests). The chapter examines local representation during the consultative process associated with the Nigeria-REDD proposal. Local representation was through selected individuals (descriptive representatives), customary authority, and NGOs (symbolic representatives). Elected local government authorities (substantive representatives) were excluded from the consultative process. Exclusion of elected local governments is linked to godfather politics in Nigeria, which enables state governors to subordinate local government authority and constrain their responsiveness to local needs. In approving the Nigeria-REDD proposal, the UN-REDD reinforced the subversion of local democracy in Nigeria. The UN-REDD would be fulfilling its democracy objectives in Nigeria by engaging substantively all local governance actors, including elected local government authorities.
