"Are you doing well or do you still have kids in school?". On teacher behavior that can cause students and some parents to fall sick

Dass Lehrer unter dem Verhalten mancher Schülerinnen und Schüler leiden, ist gängige Rede. Aber dass Kinder und Jugendliche in der Schule in ähnlicher Weise und in erheblichem Umfang unter dem Verhalten ihrer Lehrerinnen und Lehrer leiden, wird deutlich, wenn man Betroffene danach fragt. Das von Lehrern verursachte Leiden der Schüler soll durch diese Untersuchung ins öffentliche Bewusstsein gehoben werden. (DIPF/Orig.)It is common knowledge that teachers suffer because of the behavior of some students. But the fact that conversely, children and youths suffer in similar ways and to a large extent from the behavior of their teachers becomes plain when asking those affected. The study addresses the suffering of students caused by teachers and draws public attention to it. (DIPF/Orig.

TARGET. D 4.1 - Gender equality monitoring tool and guidelines for self-assessment

TARGET aims at initiating sustainable institutional change in seven gender equality innovating institutions (GEIIs) in the Mediterranean basin – including three research performing organisations (RPOs: University of Belgrade, Serbia; UH2C, Morocco and ELIAMEP - a small non-university research institution located in Greece), three research funding organisations (RFOs: ARACIS, Romania; FRRB, Italy and RPF, Cyprus) as well as the Mediterranean Engineering School’s network (RMEI). The process started with the Gender Equality Audit which serves as a baseline analysis of the status quo of gender equality in each of the seven GEIIs. Based on audit results, gender equality priorities have been defined which are taken up in the Gender Equality Plan or Strategy (GEP/GES) in each GEII. The TARGET “Gender equality monitoring tool and guidelines for self-assessment” provides concrete guidance for the third stage of the TARGET project for our Gender Equality Innovating Institutions (GEIIs). Like the tools and guidelines presented so far, we don’t assume that there is a one fits all solution. In a next step the presented tool will be adapted to the specific circumstances of each GEII to be consistent with the goals formulated in the GEP/GES. Each GEII will develop a targeted set of monitoring indicators together with its supporting partner

Global climate change and global groundwater law: their independent and pluralistic evolution and potential challenges

Although the climate and groundwater systems have close links, the international climate change regime and global groundwater laws have developed independently, despite being negotiated within a few years of each other. Hence this article addresses the question: Do global legal instruments on climate change and groundwater consider the geophysical links between the two systems, and how can their legal frameworks be improved? It argues that there are six geophysical links between groundwater and climate change which are presently inadequately accounted for in the legal regimes and there are four key contradictions between the two legal systems. It makes four recommendations to enhance the linkages between the systems
