Praxis des Gemeinsamen Unterrichts von Schülerinnen und Schülern mit Förderschwerpunkt Sprache an sächsischen Grundschulen
Die Verteilungsdaten der Kultusministerkonferenz 2016 belegen, dass es in Sachsen eine breite Praxis des GUs gibt. Über deren organisatorische, methodische und inhaltliche Gestaltung sind jedoch bisher kaum Informationen vorhanden. Ziel der vorliegenden Studie ist es, Implikationen für die Ausbildung künftiger Lehrkräfte und für die alltägliche Praxis des GUs abzuleiten. (DIPF/Orig.
Cross-linguistic patterns in the acquisition of quantifiers.
Learners of most languages are faced with the task of acquiring words to talk about number and quantity. Much is known about the order of acquisition of number words as well as the cognitive and perceptual systems and cultural practices that shape it. Substantially less is known about the acquisition of quantifiers. Here, we consider the extent to which systems and practices that support number word acquisition can be applied to quantifier acquisition and conclude that the two domains are largely distinct in this respect. Consequently, we hypothesize that the acquisition of quantifiers is constrained by a set of factors related to each quantifier's specific meaning. We investigate competence with the expressions for "all," "none," "some," "some…not," and "most" in 31 languages, representing 11 language types, by testing 768 5-y-old children and 536 adults. We found a cross-linguistically similar order of acquisition of quantifiers, explicable in terms of four factors relating to their meaning and use. In addition, exploratory analyses reveal that language- and learner-specific factors, such as negative concord and gender, are significant predictors of variation.This is the author accepted manuscript.

Cost analysis showed that feeding preterm infants with donor human milk was significantly more expensive than mother’s milk or formula
Abstract
Aim
This study analysed the comparative cost of feeding donor human milk to preterm infants compared to mother's own milk and formula.
Methods
A document and process analysis and a time measurement study were carried out at the milk bank of the Level 1 Perinatal Center of the University Hospital of Greifswald, Germany, from April to June 2017. The cost analysis data were provided by the University's financial department.
Results
The total cost per year was €92 085.02 for 300 litres of donor human milk: 27% of this was material costs, 51% was personnel costs, and 22% was other overheads. The average cost per litre was €306.95, and staff time was 492 minutes per litre. The total marginal cost for each additional litre of donor human milk, formula or unpasteurised mother´s milk was €82.88, €10.28 and €38.42, respectively. Pasteurising a litre of donor milk cost €3.51.
Conclusion
Providing preterm infants with donor milk was much more expensive than using formula or mother's own milk, but the cost of pasteurisation was minimal
Is there an influence of perceptual or cognitive impairment on complex sentence processing in hearing aid users?
Mean global field power for the second part of the ambiguous OVS sentences (NP2).
The topoplots show a centro parietal positivity in a time window 40 ms around the P600 maximum.</p
Grand average waveforms for all correctly answered sentences at POz for the hearing aid group (black) and the normal hearing control (grey).
The upper row shows the potentials after the beginning of the sentence (NP1), the lower row the potentials after the first word of the second sentence part (NP2). Columns show the different sentence types (SVO: NP1 (NOM)–verb–NP2 (ACC), OVS: NP1 (ACC)–verb–NP2 (NOM), ambOVS: NP1 (ACC)–verb–NP2 (NOM)). NP1 sentences evoke a clear P1-N1-P2 waveform. A P600 response was evoked in the second part of the ambOVS sentences with shorter latencies for normal hearing listeners.</p
