Are students in teacher training interested in educational-scientific contents? A longitudinal study covering the first four semesters

Lehramtsstudierende interessieren sich zu Beginn ihres Studiums häufig stark für pädagogische Inhalte. Ob dieses hohe Interesse allerdings im Studienverlauf stabil ist, wurde bisher unzureichend empirisch untersucht. In der vorliegenden Studie wurde an N = 1169 Lehramtsstudierenden überprüft, wie sich das Interesse an bildungswissenschaftlichen Inhalten über vier Semester entwickelt. Zusätzlich wurden Eingangsmerkmale der Studierenden als Prädiktoren zur Erklärung interindividueller Unterschiede einbezogen. Ein zentrales Ergebnis latenter Wachstumskurvenmodelle ist, dass das Interesse an den Bildungswissenschaften zwar im Mittel über die Zeit stabil bleibt, sich aber bedeutsame Varianz im Veränderungswert zeigt. Diese kann durch die Sicherheit der Studienwahl und das angestrebte Lehramt erklärt werden, und zwar in die Richtung, dass Studierende mit hoher Entscheidungssicherheit sowie Studierende eines gymnasialen Lehramts tendenziell an Interesse dazugewinnen. (DIPF/Orig.)At the beginning of their studies, students in teacher training are often strongly interested in pedagogical contents. However, whether this strong interest remains stable throughout the course of studies has as yet hardly been examined empirically. On the basis of a sample of N = 1169 students enrolled in teacher training, the present study investigates how the interest in educational-scientific contents develops over a period of four semesters. In addition, enrollment characteristics of students are included as predictors for the explanation of inter-individual differences. A key result of latent growth curve models is that, on average, the interest in educational sciences remains stable over time, however, significant variance is revealed in the change value. This can be explained by the certainty of the choice of studies and the type of teaching post aimed at, namely, it can be shown that students who are to a high degree sure that they made the right choice and students choosing an academic track program tend to build up interest.

Data integration and analysis for circadian medicine

Data integration, data sharing, and standardized analyses are important enablers for data-driven medical research. Circadian medicine is an emerging field with a particularly high need for coordinated and systematic collaboration between researchers from different disciplines. Datasets in circadian medicine are multimodal, ranging from molecular circadian profiles and clinical parameters to physiological measurements and data obtained from (wearable) sensors or reported by patients. Uniquely, data spanning both the time dimension and the spatial dimension (across tissues) are needed to obtain a holistic view of the circadian system. The study of human rhythms in the context of circadian medicine has to confront the heterogeneity of clock properties within and across subjects and our inability to repeatedly obtain relevant biosamples from one subject. This requires informatics solutions for integrating and visualizing relevant data types at various temporal resolutions ranging from milliseconds and seconds to minutes and several hours. Associated challenges range from a lack of standards that can be used to represent all required data in a common interoperable form, to challenges related to data storage, to the need to perform transformations for integrated visualizations, and to privacy issues. The downstream analysis of circadian rhythms requires specialized approaches for the identification, characterization, and discrimination of rhythms. We conclude that circadian medicine research provides an ideal environment for developing innovative methods to address challenges related to the collection, integration, visualization, and analysis of multimodal multidimensional biomedical data.Peer Reviewe

Multifunctional, Self-Cleaning Air Filters Based on Graphene-Enhanced Ceramic Networks

Particulate air pollution is taking a huge toll on modern society, being associated with more than three million deaths per year. In addition, airborne infectious microorganism can spread dangerous diseases, further elevating the problem. A common way to mitigate the risks of airborne particles is by air filtration. However, conventional air filters usually do not provide any functionality beyond particle removal. They are unable to inactivate accumulated contaminants and therefore need periodic maintenance and replacement to remain operational and safe. This work presents a multifunctional, self-cleaning air filtration system which utilizes a novel graphene-enhanced air filter medium (GeFM). The hybrid network of the GeFM combines the passive structure-based air filtration properties of an underlying ceramic network with additional active features based on the functional properties of a graphene thin film. The GeFM is able to capture >95 % of microorganisms and particles larger than 1 $\mu$m and can be repetitively Joule-heated to >300 {\deg}C for several hours without signs of degradation. Hereby, built-up organic particulate matter and microbial contaminants are effectively decomposed, regenerating the GeFM. Additionally, the GeFM provides unique options to monitor the filter's air troughput and loading status during operation. The active features of the GeFM can drastically improve filter life-time and safety, offering great potential for the development of safer and more sustainable air filtration solutions to face the future challenges of air pollution and pandemics.Comment: * Corresponding authors: Prof. Dr. Rainer Adelung ([email protected]) and Dr.-Ing.

Measures and time points relevant for post-surgical follow-up in patients with inflammatory arthritis: a pilot study

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Rheumatic diseases commonly affect joints and other structures in the hand. Surgery is a traditional way to treat hand problems in inflammatory rheumatic diseases with the purposes of pain relief, restore function and prevent progression. There are numerous measures to choose from, and a combination of outcome measures is recommended. This study evaluated if instruments commonly used in rheumatologic clinical practice are suitable to measure outcome of hand surgery and to identify time points relevant for follow-up.</p> <p>Methods</p> <p>Thirty-one patients (median age 56 years, median disease duration 15 years) with inflammatory rheumatic disease and need for post-surgical occupational therapy intervention formed this pilot study group.</p> <p>Hand function was assessed regarding grip strength (Grippit), pain (VAS), range of motion (ROM) (Signals of Functional Impairment (SOFI)) and grip ability (Grip Ability Test (GAT)). Activities of daily life (ADL) were assessed by means of Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand Outcome (DASH) and Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM). The instruments were evaluated by responsiveness and feasibility; follow-up points were 0, 3, 6 and 12 months.</p> <p>Results</p> <p>All instruments showed significant change at one or more follow-up points. Satisfaction with activities (COPM) showed the best responsiveness (SMR>0.8), while ROM measured with SOFI had low responsiveness at most follow-up time points. The responsiveness of the instruments was stable between 6 and 12 month follow-up which imply that 6 month is an appropriate time for evaluating short-term effect of hand surgery in rheumatic diseases.</p> <p>Conclusion</p> <p>We suggest a core set of instruments measuring pain, grip strength, grip ability, perceived symptoms and self-defined daily activities. This study has shown that VAS pain, the Grippit instrument, GAT, DASH symptom scale and COPM are suitable outcome instruments for hand surgery, while SOFI may be a more insensitive test. However, the feasibility of this protocol in clinical practice awaits prospective studies.</p

Das Ländliche als kulturelle Kategorie: aktuelle kulturwissenschaftliche Perspektiven auf Stadt-Land-Beziehungen

Das Ländliche hat Konjunktur. Zwischen medialer »Landlust« und realem Strukturwandel in den ländlichen Räumen Europas differenziert es sich dynamisch aus. Idylle oder Problemregion? Arbeitsort oder Freizeitpark? Repräsentationen und lebensweltliche Erfahrungen des Ländlichen avancieren zu einem alltagskulturellen Konfliktfeld, auf dem sich vor einem historischen Hintergrund elementare Problemlagen der Gegenwart und die Komplexität von kulturellen Land-Stadt-Beziehungen spiegeln.Die Beiträge des Bandes liefern hierzu Einsichten aus der Forschungsperspektive der Europäischen Ethnologie und rahmen das Thema damit für historische und gegenwartsbezogene Kulturanalysen begrifflich, methodisch und theoretisch

Climate change and possible challenges for crop protection – Yesterday, today, tomorrow

Das Klima und die Witterung sind prägende Faktoren für den Pflanzenschutz. Bereits vor 100 Jahren haben sich Wissenschaftler im Nachrichtenblatt für den Deutschen Pflanzenschutzdienst dieser Thematik gewidmet. Die Auswirkungen des Klimawandels sind ambivalent und es wird insgesamt zu einer Veränderung des Schaderregerspektrums kommen. Tendenziell werden Schäden durch Insekten, Krankheitserreger und wärmetolerante Unkräu­ter begünstigt. Das Risiko der Etablierung invasiver Arten nimmt zu. Ebenso kann die Wirksamkeit des biologischen Pflanzenschutzes beeinträchtigt und neue Verfahren erforderlich werden. Beim chemischen Pflanzenschutz wird sich das Wirkstoffspektrum verschieben und die Anforderungen an Applikationstechnik und -termin steigen. Starkregen kann das Risiko des Austrags von Pflanzenschutzmitteln in die Umwelt steigern. Auch in Mitteleuropa kann es verstärkt zu Befall mit Vorratsschädlingen bereits im Feld kommen und die Qualität und Lagerstabilität der Ernteprodukte abnehmen. Ins­gesamt wird die Bedeutung präventiver Pflanzenschutzmaßnahmen zunehmen. Die Folgen des Klimawandels erhöhen die betriebs- und volkswirtschaftlichen Risiken und stellen alle Akteursebenen vor erhebliche Heraus­forderungen.Climate and weather are decisive factors for plant protection. Already 100 years ago, scientists dedicated themselves to this topic in the newsletter of the German Plant Protection Service. The effects of climate change are ambi­valent and there will be an overall change in the pest spectrum. Damage caused by insects, pathogens and heat-tolerant weeds will tend to be favoured. The risk of invasive species becoming established increases. Simi­larly, the effectiveness of biological crop protection may be compromised and new methods may be required. In the case of chemical pesticides, the spectrum of active substances will shift and the demands on application technology and timing will increase. Heavy rains can increase the risk of pesticide run-off into the environment. There may be increased infestation with storage pests already in the field in Central Europe too, and the quality and storage stability of harvested products may decline. Overall, the importance of preventive plant protection measures will increase. The consequences of climate change increase operational and economic risks and pose considerable challenges for all levels of stakeholders

EUREC⁴A

The science guiding the EUREC⁴A campaign and its measurements is presented. EUREC⁴A comprised roughly 5 weeks of measurements in the downstream winter trades of the North Atlantic – eastward and southeastward of Barbados. Through its ability to characterize processes operating across a wide range of scales, EUREC⁴A marked a turning point in our ability to observationally study factors influencing clouds in the trades, how they will respond to warming, and their link to other components of the earth system, such as upper-ocean processes or the life cycle of particulate matter. This characterization was made possible by thousands (2500) of sondes distributed to measure circulations on meso- (200 km) and larger (500 km) scales, roughly 400 h of flight time by four heavily instrumented research aircraft; four global-class research vessels; an advanced ground-based cloud observatory; scores of autonomous observing platforms operating in the upper ocean (nearly 10 000 profiles), lower atmosphere (continuous profiling), and along the air–sea interface; a network of water stable isotopologue measurements; targeted tasking of satellite remote sensing; and modeling with a new generation of weather and climate models. In addition to providing an outline of the novel measurements and their composition into a unified and coordinated campaign, the six distinct scientific facets that EUREC⁴A explored – from North Brazil Current rings to turbulence-induced clustering of cloud droplets and its influence on warm-rain formation – are presented along with an overview of EUREC⁴A's outreach activities, environmental impact, and guidelines for scientific practice. Track data for all platforms are standardized and accessible at https://doi.org/10.25326/165 (Stevens, 2021), and a film documenting the campaign is provided as a video supplement
