Creating Creative Technologists: playing with(in) education

Since the industrial revolution, the organization of knowledge into distinct scientific, technical or creative categories has resulted in educational systems designed to produce and validate particular occupations. The methods by which students are exposed to different kinds of knowledge are critical in creating and reproducing individual, professional or cultural identities. (“I am an Engineer. You are an Artist”). The emergence of more open, creative and socialised technologies generates challenges for discipline-based education. At the same time, the term “Creative Technologies” also suggests a new occupational category (“I am a Creative Technologist”). This chapter presents a case-study of an evolving ‘anti-disciplinary’ project-based degree that challenges traditional degree structures to stimulate new forms of connective, imaginative and explorative learning, and to equip students to respond to a changing world. Learning is conceived as an emergent process; self-managed by students through critique and open peer review. We focus on ‘playfulness’ as a methodology for achieving multi-modal learning across the boundaries of art, design, computer science, engineering, games and entrepreneurship. In this new cultural moment, playfulness also re-frames the institutional identities of teacher and learner in response to new expectations for learning

Models for the teaching technical translation

The comparison of texts and their translations, including translation variants, is an important branch of applied constrastive studies (linguistics, translation) as well as the education of translators. Contrastive studies have to compare and explain language use including social, communicative, and pragmatic factors rather than mere usage. This implies that utterances must be taken as units of comparison and that it is imperative to interpret them within the wider context in which they are placed.

Untersuchungen zur Sanierung von mit chlorierten und anderen Kohlenwasserstoffen belasteten Boeden und organisch hochbelasteten Abwaessern im Landkreis Bitterfeld Abschlussbericht

The investigation provided results on the degradation of HCH isomers in soil as well as in bodies of water and liquid cultures. It showed that all HCH isomers are degraded in soil-compost mixtures under anaerobic conditions. The original concept for in-situ decontamination of meadows along the river Mulde by application of compost thus is not to be realized, because the degradation requires high soil humidity and anaerobic conditions. Moreover, influences of the dynamics of the medium are not yet sufficiently elucidated. Favourable degradation conditions may be realized, however, in large soil reactors, so that opportunities are given for treating at least those soils of Mulde meadows on site that are particularly contaminated. From the results of tests with the enrichment of HCH-tolerant microorganisms it is, furthermore, clear that such processes can be intensified. The option for treating HCH-contaminated industrial sites is also given. The results regarding HCH degradation in water are suitable to be used as a basis for developing a process concept. (orig./BBR)Die Untersuchung lieferte Ergebnisse zum Abbau von HCH-Isomeren in Boeden sowie in Waessern und Fluessigkulturen. Es wurde gezeigt, dass alle HCH-Isomere unter anaeroben Bedingungen in Boden-Kompost-Gemischen abgebaut werden. Die urspruengliche Arbeitshypothese, eine in-situ Sanierung kontaminierter Gebiete der Muldeaue durch Einbringen von Kompost vorzunehmen, ist so nicht aufrechtzuerhalten, weil der Abbau eine hohe Durchfeuchtung des Bodens und anaerobe Bedingungen erfordert. Ausserdem sind Einfluesse der Milieudynamik noch unzureichend geklaert. Guenstige Abbaubedingungen koennen allerdings in groesseren Bodenreaktoren realisiert werden, so dass sich Ansaetze ergeben, zumindest die besonders stark belasteten Boeden der Muldeaue on site zu behandeln. Die Ergebnisse der Versuche zur Anreicherung HCH-toleranter Mikroorganismen eroeffnen darueber hinaus Moeglichkeiten, solche Prozesse zu intensivieren. Auch die Option zur Behandlung HCH-belasteter Betriebsflaechen ist damit gegeben. Die Ergebnisse zum HCH-Abbau in Waessern koennen als Grundlage fuer eine Verfahrenskonzeption genutzt werden.
