    This study is about how knowing someone with a disability affects an individual’s level of acceptance for others who have a disability. In addition, this paper will also look at previous research on how different levels of peer acceptance affect the emotional well-being of those with disabilities. Under the supervision of our professor and the university staff, my classmates from Methods of Sociological Research at the University of New Hampshire (UNH) and I compiled a list of research questions pertaining to our individual studies and sent the link to our Qualtrics survey to approximately 300 other UNH students via Facebook messages and emails. I measured respondents’ acceptance of those with disabilities by asking respondents how likely they thought they were to become friends with someone who has a disability. My findings regarding contact with someone with a disability and one’s general acceptance toward others with a disability show a significant relationship between knowing someone with a disability and being more accepting of disability in general

    In many European societies, social cohesion is challenged by megatrends, such as globalization, digitalization, growing inequality, and migration. In addition – or in part as a consequence of those megatrends – our living together is confronted with increasing cultural diversity, a greater plurality of values and lifestyles, as well as a rise in populism, polarization and a loss of confidence in democracy. Recognizing that many European countries face these challenges, a number of important questions arise: What holds societies together? What must we do today so that this cohesiveness will remain present in the future? How can we foster social cohesion

    Mit Bodenfallen wurde die epigĂ€ische Fauna eines Agroforstsystems an zwei Standorten in Bayern untersucht. Ein deutlicher Effekt der Agroforst-Hecken auf den Artenreichtum der LaufkĂ€fer der angrenzenden AckerflĂ€che wurde vier Jahre nach der Anpflanzung der Pappelhecke noch nicht nachgewiesen. Die Pappelpflanzungen erhöhten jedoch die Vielfalt des Systems insgesamt und boten Überwinterungsmöglichkeiten fĂŒr spezifische NĂŒtzlinge, wie den LaufkĂ€fer Anchomenus dorsalis
