International cooperation programmes for doctorates in subject-specific education
Die Kompetenz zur fachdidaktischen Forschung liegt bei den Pädagogischen Hochschulen, die in der Schweiz kein Promotions- und Habilitationsrecht haben. Forschende an diesen Hochschulen sind daher darauf angewiesen, an einem Fachdidaktiklehrstuhl ausserhalb ihres Arbeits-und Forschungsorts zu promovieren. Doch an Universitäten der deutschsprachigen Schweiz gibt es nur wenige und nur für vereinzelte Disziplinen Lehrstühle für Fachdidaktik. An universitären Hochschulen im Ausland, darunter auch Pädagogische Hochschulen, ist diese fachdidaktische Forschungskompetenz hingegen vorhanden. Dies führt dazu, dass das Promovieren im benachbarten Ausland attraktiv ist. Dabei kann grob zwischen individuellen und institutionalisierten Promotionspartnerschaften unterschieden werden. Insbesondere die institutionalisierten Promotionspartnerschaften bieten interessante Möglichkeiten, obwohl auch bei ihnen immer ein bedenkliches Abhängigkeitsverhältnis der Schweizer Pädagogischen Hochschule von der Hochschule im Ausland besteht. (DIPF/Orig.)The competence for research in subject-specific education lies with the universities of teacher education, which in Switzerland do not have the right to award doctorates and habilitations. Researchers at these universities are therefore dependent on obtaining a doctorate from a professorship in subject-specific education outside their place of work and research. At universities in German-speaking Switzerland there are only a few chairs for subject-specific education, however, and only for some disciplines. At universities abroad, by contrast, this research expertise in subject-specific education is available. This makes doctoral studies in neighbouring countries attractive. A rough distinction can be drawn between individual and institutionalised doctoral partnerships. Institutionalised doctoral partnerships in particular offer interesting opportunities although even this form of cooperation is always characterised by a relationship of dependence between the Swiss university of teacher education and the university abroad, which is worth considering.

The Role of Death-Anxiety-Induced Fear of COVID-19 in Compliance With and Acceptance of Government-Issued COVID-19 Regulations
The present research was conducted to empirically examine whether death anxiety is the fundamental fear that feeds people’s fear of COVID-19 and leads to increased behavioral compliance with and acceptance of COVID-19 regulations. Results from an online survey of 313 participants from New York City show that death anxiety was, indeed, positively associated with behavioral compliance with, but not acceptance of, COVID-19 regulations via an increased fear of COVID-19. Hence, media campaigns that are designed to increase people’s compliance with restrictive COVID-19 measures by stirring up their death anxiety are likely to meet their target, but they do not necessarily lead to increased public acceptance of the measures taken
Preparation and characterization of ultrathin layers of substituted oligo- and poly(p-phenylene)s and mixed layers with octadecanethiol on gold and copper
Substituted poly(p-phenylene)s were adsorbed from solution onto gold and copper and oligo(p-phenylene)s onto gold. The layers were investigated with IR spectroscopy at grazing incidence reflection, XPS, NEXAFS, ToF-SIMS, surface profilometry, AFM, SEM, optical microscopy, ellipsometry, and contact angle measurements to examine their formation and structure. The structure and the properties of the investigated layers depend not only on the chemical structure of the polymer but also on the type of substrate. On gold, the polymers form layers of 15-25 angstroms in thickness and the oligomers of ca. 5 angstroms in thickness. On copper, `thick' layers of up to 900 angstroms were also observed. The oligomers have a lower affinity to gold than the polymers. Mixed octadecanethiol-polymer layers were prepared by immersion of polymer-coated substrates in an octadecanethiol solution or by exposure of self-assembled monolayers of octadecanethiol to polymer solutions. The structure of the mixed layers depends on the sequence of the exposure of the two components and on the chemical structure of the polymer. In the mixed layers, structures that protrude above the surroundings were frequently detected at the surface.</p
