An rechtsbezogenen empirischen Arbeiten zur Schadenswiedergutmachung kann die echte Wechselseitigkeit im Verhältnis von Recht und Psychologie im Einklang mit Hommers (1981) weiter belegt werden. Da die Psychologie somit nicht nur Hilfsfunktion für die Rechtspflege, sondern die rechtlichen Gedankengänge auch umgekehrt in gewissen Bereichen Hilfsfunktion für die psychologische Theorienbildung besitzen, wird eine hinreichende Gegenstandsdefinition der Rechtspsychologie erreicht, in der eine eigenständige Rechtspsychologie i.e.S. gegenpartnerisch neben der Vereinigung der hi7fswissenschaftlichen Kriminal- und Forensischen Psychologie existiert.
Traditionally psychological research had assisted (de lege lata and de lege ferenda) jurisdiction, legislation, and law enforcement. However, the fol1owing three examp1es support the thesis that certain areas of psycho1ogica1 research gain new concepts and hypotheses by considering re1ated juristic thought. First, a developmenta1 study on the judgment about neg1igent damages suggested a three-step deve10pment of the evaluation of neg1igence. That threestep development wou1d contradict Heider's sequence of responsibi1ity levels. Second, a cognitive algebra approach to asses the chi1d's understanding of the duty to compensate the victim for his 1055 caused by a culpab1e actor suggested a two-step deve10pment of understanding that duty. The chi1d of the first deve10pment a1 step wou1d regard giving on1y half compensation of the 10ss as doing his duty to repair damages. Third, the concept of cul pa and the "Strafzumes sungs 1 ehre" in the German juri 5 ti c thought are d i scussed as key concepts for innovating psycho1ogica1 research on a moral algebra. Insofar juristic thought proved to assist psycho1ogica1 theory bui1ding what would make the relation of juristic thought and psycho1ogy a relation of interdependence.

Jura non in singulas personas, sed generaliter constituuntur. Doch es ist zu ergänzen: Urteile sind im Einzelfall zu treffen. Nicht ganz unähnlich wäre auch der wissenschaftlich diagnostizierende Psychologe zu mahnen. Psychologische Diagnostik zielt auf den Einzelfall ab, obwohl die Entscheidungen über ihn auf der Basis von allgemeingültigen Gesetzen der empirisch-psychologischen Wissenschaft herbeizuführen sind (Tack, 1982). Im folgenden wird dazu zuerst der Sonderstatus der Forensischen Diagnostik herausgestellt, wobei zur Untermauerung die besonderen Leitziele der forensisch-psychologischen Diagnostik angeführt werden. Die folgenden Abschnitte widmen sich dann einerseits dem Nutzen der psychometrischen Integration von Kriterien, andererseits geht es um die psychometrische Gewinnung von Befunden über Einzelkriterien, wozu auf mehrere Beispiele verwiesen wird.
As part of the Clash of Realities International Conference on the Technology and Theory of Digital Games, the Game Technology Summit is a premium venue to bring together experts from academia and industry to disseminate state-of-the-art research on trending technology topics in digital games. In this first iteration of the Game Technology Summit, we specifically paid attention on how the successes in AI in Natural User Interfaces have been impacting the games industry (industry track) and which scientific, state-of-the-art ideas and approaches are currently pursued (scientific track).
Introduction: The prognosis of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is poor using common chemotherapeutic approaches. However, during the last years encouraging results of recently introduced tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) such as vandetanib have been published. In this study we aimed to correlate the results of \(^{18}\)F-fluorodeoxyglucose ([\(^{18}\)F]FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) imaging with treatment outcome.
Methods: Eighteen patients after thyroidectomy with recurrent/advanced MTC lesions receiving vandetanib (300 mg orally/day) could be analysed. A baseline \(^{18}\)F-FDG PET prior to and a follow-up \(^{18}\)F-FDG PET 3 months after TKI initiation were performed. During follow-up, tumor progression was assessed every 3 months including computed tomography according to RECIST. Progression-free survival (PFS) was correlated with the maximum standardized uptake value of \(^{18}\)F-FDG in lymph nodes (SUV(LN)max) or visceral metastases (SUV(MTS)max) as well as with clinical parameters using ROC analysis.
Results: Within median 3.6 years of follow-up, 9 patients showed disease progression at median 8.5 months after TKI initiation. An elevated glucose consumption assessed by baseline \(^{18}\)F-FDG PET (SUV(LN)max > 7.25) could predict a shorter PFS (2 y) with an accuracy of 76.5% (SUV(LN)max <7.25, 4.3 y; p=0.03). Accordingly, preserved tumor metabolism in the follow-up PET (SUV(MTS)max >2.7) also demonstrated an unfavorable prognosis (accuracy, 85.7%). On the other hand, none of the clinical parameters reached significance in response prediction.
Conclusions: In patients with advanced and progressive MTC, tumors with higher metabolic activity at baseline are more aggressive and more prone to progression as reflected by a shorter PFS; they should be monitored more closely. Preserved glucose consumption 3 months after treatment initiation was also related to poorer prognosis.

Natural walking in virtual reality games is constrained by the physical boundaries defined by the size of the player’s tracking space. Impossible spaces, a redirected walking technique, enlarge the virtual environment by creating overlapping architecture and letting multiple locations occupy the same physical space. Within certain thresholds, this is subtle to the player. In this paper, we present our approach to implement such impossible spaces and describe how we handled challenges like objects with simulated physics or precomputed global illumination.

Some decades ago it was noted by cytologists that within the interphase nucleus large portions of the transcriptionally ("genetically," in their terms) inactive chromosomal material are contained in aggregates of condensed chromatin, the "chromocenters," whereas transcriptionally active regions of chromosomes appear in a more dispersed form and are less intensely stained with DNA-directed staining procedures (Heitz 1929, 1932, 1956; Bauer 1933). The hypothesis that condensed chromatin is usually characterized by very low or no transcriptional activity, and that transcription occurs in loosely packed forms of chromatin (including, in most cells, the nucleolar chromatin) has received support from studies of ultrathin sections in the electron microscope and from the numerous attempts to separate transcriptionally active from inactive chromatin biochemically (for references, see Anderson et al. 1975; Berkowitz and Doty 1975; Krieg and Wells 1976; Rickwood and Birnie 1976; Gottesfeld 1977). Electron microscopic autoradiography has revealed that sites of RNA synthesis are enriched in dispersed chromatin regions located at the margins of condensed chromatin (Fakan and Bernhard 1971, 1973; Bouteille et al. 1974; Bachellerie et al. 1975) and are characterized by the occurrence of distinct granular and fibrillar ribonucleoprotein (RNP) structures, such as perichromatin granules and fibrils. The discovery that, in most eukaryotic nuclei, major parts of the chromatin are organized in the form of nucleosomes (Olins and Olins 1974; Kornberg 1974; Baldwin et al. 1975) has raised the question whether the same nucleosomal packing of DNA is also present in transcriptionally active chromatin strands. Recent detailed examination of the morphology of active and inactive chromatin involving a diversity of electron microscopic methods, particularly the spreading technique by Miller and coworkers (Miller and Beatty 1969; Miller and Bakken 1972), has indicated that the DNA of some actively transcribed regions is not packed into nucleosomal particles but is present in a rather extended form within a relatively thin (4-7 nm) chromatin fiber.
The structural organization of transcriptionally active DNA that contains cistrons for precursor molecules of ribosomal RNA is described in positively stained spread preparations from nuclei and nucleoli isolated from the green alga, Acetabularia mediterranea Lmx. These nuclei contain large aggregates of nucleolar subunits in which fibril-covered regions, the putative active cistrons for precursors of ribosomal RNA, alternate with fibril-free intercepts, the "spacers". The length distribution of the different intercepts of this DNA is given, and the pattern is compared with those shown in animal cell systems. The data are discussed in relation to problems of transcription and of amplification of ribosomal RNA genes.
The influence of microsomal (mAHH) and nuclear (nAHH) aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase activity on the covalent binding of t:titiated benzo(a)pyrene to rat liver DNA was evaluated in vivo. Induction ofmAHH was obtained after phenobarbitone treatment (180% of control), which increased DNA binding to 210%, but left the nAHH unchanged. mAHH and nAHH were slightly indilced with dieldrin (130% and 120%), but the binding remairred unchanged. The increasing effect of mAHlt as weil as the possibly decreasing effect of nAHH induction on the binding became obvious when the data of 11 individual rats were used to solve the equation Binding = aX(mAHH) + bX(nAHH) + c. Multiple linear regression analysis resulted in positive values for a and c, a negative value for b, and a multiple correlation coefficient R = 0.82. An influence of other enzymes involved in the metabolism of benzo(a)pyrene cannot be excluded. The Study shows clearly that the binding of a foreign compound to DNA in vivo is not only dependent on microsomal enzyme activities but also on nuclear activities even if the latter are considerably lower than those of mic'rosomes.
The proceedings of the 8th Conference of the Media Psychology Division of the German Psychological Society hosted by the University of Wuerzburg from the 4th until the 6th of September 2013 contains the abstracts of the conference participants. Following the motto of the conference "Media Research: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow" a large number of media-psychological topics was dealt with. Amongst others, participants presented their research on interactive learning, emotions, virtual agents and avatars, gaming, scientific communication, politics, motion pictures and entertainment, social media, methods, and persuasions.
Rabbit antibodies to RNA polymerase I from a rat hepatoma have been used to localize the enzyme in a variety of cells at the light and electron microscopic level. In interphase cells the immunofluorescence pattern indicated that polymerase I is contained exclusively within the nucleolus. That this fluorescence, which appeared punctated rather than uniform, represented transcriptional complexes of RNA polymerase I and rRNA genes was suggested by the observation that it was enhanced in regenerating liver and in a hepatoma and was markedly diminished in cells treated with actinomycin D. Electron microscopic immunolocalization using gold-coupled second antibodies showed that transcribed rRNA genes are located in, and probably confined to, the fibrillar centers of the nucleolus. In contrast, the surrounding dense fibrillar component, previously thought to be the site of nascent prerRNA, did not contain detectable amounts of polymerase I. During mitosis, polymerase I molecules were detected by immunofluorescence microscopy at the chromosomal nucleolus organizer region, indicating that a considerable quantity of the enzyme remains bound to the rRNA genes. From this we conclude that rRNA genes loaded with polymerase I molecules are transmitted from one cell generation to the next one and that factors other than the polymerase itself are involved in the modulation of transcription of DNA containing rRNA genes during the cell cycle.

Einer der neueren Trends in der Vor- und Frühgeschichtlichen Archäologie ist die Beschäftigung mit prähistorischen Konflikten. Zumeist beschränkt sich diese sogenannte Konfliktforschung jedoch auf eine bloße Gewaltforschung unter Vernachlässigung der Frage, was Konflikte als Konflikte eigentlich ausmacht und wie sie vermieden oder geregelt beigelegt werden können. Vor diesem Hintergrund verstehen sich die Beiträge in diesem Band als Theorieangebote an die Archäologie: Aus der Perspektive ihrer jeweiligen Disziplinen – Soziologie, Philosophie, Ethnologie, Archäologie, Geschichts- und Politikwissenschaften – gehen die Autorinnen und Autoren den Fragen nach, wie sich in Gesellschaften ohne (oder mit nur eingeschränkter) Zentralgewalt Dynamiken negativer Reziprozität darstellen und wie sie sich beenden lassen, welche Rolle dritte Parteien oder Instanzen dabei spielen können und welche Bedeutung der materiellen Kultur im Kontext dieser Prozesse zukommt.

The psychological and physiological effects of a socially oriented sensitivity training were evaluated. It is shown that decreased physical distance as well as increased intimacy yields high activation, both in psychological measures (experienced stress) and in pulse frequences. One result (highly significant and replicated in other experiments) was paradoxical: when Ss had to caress the face of a heterosexual vis-a-vis, they reported high experienced stress, but pulse frequences dropped rapidely below the resting pulse. Some suggestions are made to explain these findings. The question arises whether an autonomic somatic process, induced by social Stimulation, but independent of the cognitive coping is responsible for these results.
Based on the results of a 3-day workshop at the Brown University (2012) this white paper tries to sum up important topics and problems which came up in the presentations and discussions and to outline some general aspects of data modeling in digital humanities. Starting with an attempt to define data modeling it introduces distinctions like curation-driven vs. research-driven for a more general description of data modeling. The second part discusses specific problems and challenges of data modeling in the Humanities, while the third part outlines practical aspects, like the creation of data models or their evaluation.
K-Ar dating on hornblendes and micas from the TepläDomazlice zone revealed a pattern of dates which significantly deviates from the mid-Carboniferous to early Permian one that is found in the adjacent low-pressure metamorphic Moldanubian and Saxothuringian. Especially for the Mariänske Läzne metabasic complex, confirming early Czech determinations, the dates resemble the early Devonian pattern determined for the Münchberg Gneiss Massif and the Erbendorf-Vohenstrauß zone of northeastern Bavaria. This supports the idea that all three units are remnants of a huge complex which suffered a metamorphic overprint under medium-pressure conditions, probably in the early Devonian. Streng rejuvenation is found in the southern part of the Teplä-Domailice zone by which micas and even two hornblendes were reset to mid-Carboniferous ages. According to the geological setting, part of the apparently preDevonian dates may be explained by inherited argon from earlier metamorphic and magmatic events, e.g. the high-pressure metamorphism documented in eclogitic relics. However, excess argon, caused by the mid-Carboniferous overprint cannot be excluded.

The \(\alpha\)-Sialyl-\(\beta\) 2-3-Galactosyl-specific adhesin (S adhesin) was isolated from cells of a recombinant Escherichia coli K-12 strain expressing the S-flmbrial adhesin complex. A crude cell extract was partiaUy dissociated into fimbriae and an adhesin-enriched fraction by heating to 7O°C. From the latter, adhesin was purified to apparent homogeneity (by fast protein liquid chromatography, immunoblot, and NaDodSO\(_4\)/PAGE) by differential ammonium sulfate precipitation, dissociation in 8 M guanidine hydrochloride, and high-resolution anion-exchange chromatography in 8 M urea. The purified adhesin formed an aggregate of M\(_r\)\(\approx\)10\(^6\) that was made up of one type of 12-kDa polypeptide (fimbrillin is 16.5 kDa). It had pI value of 4.7 (fimbriae has a pI value of 6). Adhesin and fimbrillin had different amino add compositions. The purified adhesins agglutinated human and bovine erythrocytes with the same speclfkity as the whole bacteria; purified fimbriae were not adhesive. Monoclonal anti-adhesin and anti-fimbriae antibodies were obtained. Monoclonal antiadhesin, but none of the anti-fimbriae, antibodies inhibited the agglutination of erythrocytes. The anti-adhesive antibodies were used in immuno-gold electron microscopy to localize adhesin exclusively on the fimbriae, with a possible preference to their tips.

In this paper, we bridge the gap between procedural content generation (PCG) and user-generated content (UGC) by proposing and demonstrating an interactive agent-based model of self-assembling ensembles that can be directed though user input. We motivate these efforts by considering the opportunities technology provides to pursue game designs based on according game design frameworks. We present three different use cases of the proposed model that emphasize its potential to (1) self-assemble into predefined 3D graphical assets, (2) define new structures in the context of virtual environments by self-assembling layers on the surfaces of arbitrary 3D objects, and (3) allow novel structures to self-assemble only considering the model’s configuration and no external dependencies. To address the performance restrictions in computer games, we realized the prototypical model implementation by means of an efficient entity component system (ECS). We conclude the paper with an outlook on future steps to further explore novel interactive, dynamic PCG mechanics and to ensure their efficiency.
5. Würzburger Wirtschaftssymposium, 20.11.2008 Deutsche Erfindungen verändern die Welt - heute wie vor 500 Jahren. Von Buchdruck, über Dieselmotor, Glühbirne bis hin zu Airbag, Aspirin, Dübel, Fernseher und mp3-Format. Alleine dieser bescheidene Überblick des Phänomens “Made in Germany” lässt den Betrachter die Bedeutung und das Potenzial von Innovationen am Standort Deutschland schnell erkennen. Experten aus Wirtschaft, Politik und Gesellschaft setzten sich am 20.11.2008 unter der Leitfrage: “Innovationen – Performancetreiber und nachhaltiger Wirtschaftsmotor in Deutschland?” mit der Bedeutung von Innovationen für den Standort Deutschland auseinander. Die Festschrift rundet - neben Interviews mit und Gastbeiträgen von Referenten der Veranstaltung - das 5. Würzburger Wirtschaftssymposium mit Stellungnahmen und Beiträgen renommierter Experten ab. Zu Wort kommen dabei Jungunternehmer ebenso wie Wissenschaftler der Universität Würzburg und Vertreter externer Organisationen.
Dendritic cells, first described by STEINMAN and COHN in the mouse spleen and now called lymphoid dendritic cells (LDC), were investigated in the rat pancreas with the monoclonal antibodies 29AI-L. T. and MRC-OX17, which both recognize the la-antigen immunohistochemically and immune electron microscopically. la-positive cells with a dendritic morphology were found in the connective tissue of the cxocrine and endocrine pancreas. Immune e1ectron microscopically, the Ia-antibodies were 10- calized on the cell surface and in sm all vesicles. A small portion of the la-positive cells showed additional acid phosphatase positivity, i. e. were la-positive macrophages. The other la-positive cells were probably LDC, which may be important in the elimination of foreign antigens, e. g. bacteria and vIruses.
Modern immersive multimodal technologies enable the learners to completely get immersed in various learning situations in a way that feels like experiencing an authentic learning environment. These environments also allow the collection of multimodal data, which can be used with artificial intelligence to further improve the immersion and learning outcomes. The use of artificial intelligence has been widely explored for the interpretation of multimodal data collected from multiple sensors, thus giving insights to support learners’ performance by providing personalised feedback. In this paper, we present a conceptual approach for creating immersive learning environments, integrated with multi-sensor setup to help learners improve their psychomotor skills in a remote setting.
Immersive, sensor-enabled technologies such as augmented and virtual reality expand the way human beings interact with computers significantly. While these technologies are widely explored in entertainment games, they also offer possibilities for educational use. However,their uptake in education is so far very limited. Within the ImTech4Ed project, we aim at systematically exploring the power of interdisciplinary, international hackathons as a novel method to create immersive educational game prototypes and as a means to transfer these innovative technical prototypes into educational use. To achieve this, we bring together game design and development, where immersive and interactive solutions are designed and developed; computer science, where the technological foundations for immersive technologies and for scalable architectures for these are created; and teacher education, where future teachers are educated. This article reports on the concept and design of these hackathons.
Programmheft zur 21. Fachtagung der DGV-Kommission „Sachkulturforschung und Museum“, die zum Thema „Identitätsfabrik reloaded. Museen als Resonanzräume kultureller Vielfalt und pluraler Lebensstile“ vom Referat Volkskunde des Badischen Landesmuseums Karlsruhe und der Professur für Museologie der Universität Würzburg vom 22. bis 24. Mai 2014 in Karlsruhe durchgeführt wurde.
Both research and policy indicate the importance of considering ICT-related and intercultural competence development in education together. Teacher educators play a significant role in the development of these related competencies. The aim of this study is to analyze ICT- related competence frameworks addressing teacher educators, focusing on how they incorporate intercultural considerations. We analyze four internationally recognized models—Teacher Educator Technology Competencies (TETCs), DigCompEdu, Jisc Digital Capabilities, and Media Didactica—showing that with the TETCs important steps have been taken to integrate both discourses, while the other frameworks treat aspects related to culture as isolated phenomena. In TETC 8, the global dimension is represented by a specific competency, which is also differentiated into specific areas of competence. This offers a strong starting point for further international discourse, in terms of both the diversification of underlying theoretical concepts and approaches to culturally responsive education. Further research is needed to investigate how professional development can meet the needs of teacher educators in a global context.
Fulgurites (= natural glasses formed by lightning strikes to the ground) are indicators of thunderstorms (e.g. Julien 1901). The distribution pattern of fulgurites in the study area (Grand Erg de Bilma and Erg de Tenere between 11.5°E and 16.5° and 18.5°N) shows decreasing fulgurite concentration from south to north. The fulgurite sites are concentrated in the area of fossil dune complexes, where they occur topographically above palaeolimnic deposits in mid-slope position of interdune depressions.
In the present work we report the results of magneto-transport measurements on some Hg-based li-VI semiconductor epitaxiallayers grown by molecular beam epitaxy. The transport measurement were carried out at temperatures in the range 0.4 - 4.2 K in magnetic fields up to 10.0 T. Further, we point out the necessity of using multicarrier models for data interpretation and show finally some Shubnikov-de-Haas results on sampies with high mobility carners.
Im Fokus der Tagung standen verschiedene Formen der Gewalt in ihrer Bindung an soziale Strukturen von der Steinzeit bis in das frühe Mittelalter. Die Beiträge blieben nicht auf das Thema Krieg beschränkt, das auch bereits Gegenstand einiger anderer Symposien war, sondern versuchten vielmehr, unterschiedliche Gewaltformen und Ebenen in ihrem gesellschaftlichen und kulturgeschichtlichen Kontext zu differenzieren. Da die meisten bisherigen Untersuchungen zu Gewalt und Krieg auf einzelne Epochen und Regionen bezogen sind, war ein Ziel der Tagung, eine diachrone und überregionale Betrachtungsweise anzuregen. Ein weiteres Hauptanliegen war die Förderung des interdisziplinären Dialogs zwischen Archäologie und Anthropologie.
In vielen Beiträgen wurde die nach wie vor häufig anzutreffende Gleichsetzung von Gewalt und Krieg kritisch hinterfragt und stattdessen deutlich gemacht, dass Gewalt in vielfältiger Form auch außerhalb des Kontexts kriegerischer Handlungen in mehr oder weniger „alltäglichen“ Situationen auftritt. Problematisch stellten sich dabei zunächst die verschiedenen divergierenden Definitionen des Gewaltbegriffs in unterschiedlichen Forschungstraditionen dar, ihre Gegenüberstellung führte aber schließlich zu einer ausgesprochen fruchtbaren Diskussion.
Ein wichtiges Fazit der Tagung ist, dass lineare Modelle zur Entwicklung der Gewalt in der Menschheitsgeschichte viel zu vereinfachend sind und einer differenzierten Betrachtung der Quellen weichen müssen. Gewalt fügt sich in kein einfaches evolutives Schema, sondern ist als kulturelles Phänomen Bestandteil gesellschaftlicher Prozesse. Sie muss in ihrem jeweiligen kulturhistorischen Kontext betrachtet und verstanden werden. Die im Rahmen des Symposiums präsentierten Fallbeispiele zeigten vielversprechende Ansätze hierzu auf. Eine Herausforderung für die Archäologie wird es jedoch sein, ein differenzierteres Bild der Vergangenheit auch interdisziplinär zu kommunizieren und gegen die nach wie vor dominanten, zur Übersimplifizierung neigenden Modelle im sozial- und kulturwissenschaftlichen Diskurs zu positionieren. Die Tagung „Gewalt und Gesellschaft“ versteht sich als Beitrag zur Weiterentwicklung tragfähiger archäologischer und anthropologischer Grundlagen für einen zukünftigen fundierten Dialog.
Viele Studierende der Geschichte und anderer Geisteswissenschaften streben das Lehramt an. Darin Fuß zu fassen, wird in den kommenden Jahren immer schwieriger. Andere Studierende haben sogar überhaupt keine Vorstellungen von ihrer beruflichen Zukunft. Dieser Leitfaden möchte Orientierung bei der Berufswahl vermitteln und mit Hilfe von Experten Perspektiven eröffnen.

Various amphibolites, metagabbros and eclogitic relics of the Mariimske Lazne complex, and amphibolites from the Cerna Hora Massif exhibit an uniform geochemical character which compares well with modern mid-ocean ridge basalts. Geochemically these metabasites are similar to the amphibolites of the My to area and to schistose. partly striped amphibolites of the neighbouring Tirschenreuth-Mahring Zone and the Erbendorf-Vohenstrauss Zone (Bavaria). Greenschists and amphibolites from the Domailice metamorphic complex show an alkaline-basaltic tendency conforming to modern within-plate basalts or basalts from anomalous midocean ridge segments. In their chemical character, these metabasites compare well with the flaseramphibolites of the Erbendorf-Vohenstrauss Zone. Fine-grained amphibolites in the Warzenrieth area and gabbroic amphiboltes in the Blatterberg-Hoher Bogen area show normal MORB character. The metamorphosed gabbroic rocks in the southern part of the Neukirchen-Kdyne (meta-) igneous complex are subalkaline-tholeiitic and exhibit a magmatic differentiation trend. They differ from the neighbouring amphibolites by generally lower contents of incompatible elements.

Fostering Teacher Educators’ Intercultural Media-Related Competencies Using a Social VR Environment
(2023)
Recent studies suggest that teacher educators require intercultural media-related educational competencies to respond to contemporary and future educational needs. However, necessary professional development concepts, which are aimed at fostering these competencies, are underrepresented in current teacher education research. This study reports on the results of a case study within a Design-Based-Research project aimed at designing, implementing and evaluating a professional development concept to foster teacher educators’ intercultural media-related competencies. A remote workshop using a Social VR environment was conducted with a convenience sample of 10 teacher educators. Data collected through a qualitative pre-post survey and a focus group was interpreted through qualitative content analysis. Findings showed intercultural aspects were addressed in several domains as well as an increased ability to evaluate potentials and risks related to interculturally focused teaching and learning with Social VR.
The combination of globalization and digitalization emphasizes the importance of media-related and intercultural competencies of teacher educators and preservice teachers. This article reports on the initial prototypical implementation of a pedagogical concept to foster such competencies of preservice teachers. The proposed pedagogical concept utilizes a social virtual reality (VR) framework since related work on the characteristics of VR has indicated that this medium is particularly well suited for intercultural professional development processes. The development is integrated into a larger design-based research approach that develops a theory-guided and empirically grounded professional development concept for teacher educators with a special focus on teacher educator technology competencies (TETC8). TETCs provide a suitable competence framework capable of aligning requirements for both media-related and intercultural competencies. In an exploratory study with student teachers, we designed, implemented, and evaluated a pedagogical concept. Reflection reports were qualitatively analyzed to gain insights into factors that facilitate or hinder the implementation of the immersive learning scenario as well as into the participants’ evaluation of their learning experience. The results show that our proposed pedagogical concept is particularly suitable for promoting the experience of social presence, agency, and empathy in the group.
Follow-ups across discourse domains: A cross-cultural exploration of their forms and functions
(2012)
The edited volume documents the proceedings of the ESF workshop "Follow-ups across discourse domains: a cross-cultural exploration of their forms and functions". It examines the forms and functions of the dialogue act of a follow-up, viz. accepting or challenging a prior communicative act, in political discourse across spoken and written dialogic genres. Specifically, it considers (1) the discourse domains of political interviews, editorials, op-eds and discussion forums, (2) their sequential organization as regards the status of initial (or 1st order) follow-up, a follow-up of a prior follow-up (2nd order follow-up), or nth-order follow-up, and (3) their discursive realization as regards degrees of indirectness and responsiveness which are conceptualized as a continuum along the lines of degrees of explicitness and degrees of responsiveness. The chapters come from the fields of linguistics, discourse analysis, socio-pragmatics, communication, political science and psychology, examining the heterogeneous field of political discourse and its manifestation in diverse discourse genres with respect to evasiveness, indirectness and redundancy in mediated political discourse, professional discourse, discourse identity and doing politics, to name but the most prominent questions.
Fertilität und Macht: Die Reproduktionspflicht mittelalterlicher Herrscherinnen und Herrscher
(2021)
Fertility was a key theme of medieval rulership. To conceive and give birth to sons – and thus to ensure the succession to the throne – was one of the foremost duties of medieval kings and queens. But what happened when a male child died in infancy, no male child was born, or no pregnancy ever came about? Barrenness could have dramatic consequences in the Middle Ages, for example expulsion, divorce or conflicts over royal succession. Against this historical background, it seems logical that the fate of the childless ruler would be recounted in the form of a ‘Passion narrative’. In the German literature of the Middle Ages, however, there are also interpretative models of a contrary vein to be found. In the year 1220, for instance, Ebernand of Erfurt construed the wedded life of the imperial couple Henry and Kunigunde as a tale of resistance against the royal obligation to reproduce. In his versified legend, composed in the vernacular, the couple secretly agrees not to fulfil society’s expectations, but to lead a chaste marriage. Yet above and beyond legend, childless rulers were also subject to the impact of multifarious legal, religious, medical, narrative and discursive factors. Taking Michel Foucault as a point of departure, this contribution shows how fertility became a field of power on which hierarchies between rulers and subjects, men and women were negotiated, while also shedding light on how religious and secular ideals clashed in the assessment of infertility.
The binding of tritiated benzo(a)pyrene (BP) to liver DNA of 25 adult male rats (SIV 50) has been determined 50 h after a single intraperitoneal injection of doses between 40 ug/kg and 4; mg/kg. The dose-response relations~ ip is linear up to i mg/kg, shows a sigmoid step towards 2 mg/kg and a shallow linear. slope above that value. TlJe 0 bserved bin ding ranges from 1.7 to 180 nmoles BP per mole DNA phosphate. The non-linearity between 1 and 2 mg/kg could be explained 0):1 the basis of an induction of metabolizing enzymes. A pure1y mathematical extrapolation of therumour incidence from a carcinogenic dose (1 x 40mg/kg for a 20% hepatoma incidence in newborn mice) to human exposure levels (aboilt 0.1 ug/kg per day) would never have followed a step like the on~ found in our experiments. Our dose-effect study therefore shows how carcinogenitity data could be extrapolated in a biologically founded way to low doses.

Neoplasia in Xiphophorus can be classified into a) a large group that is triggered by carcinogens; b) a large group triggered by promoters; c) a small group that develops "spontaneously" following interpopulational and interracial hybridizations; and d) a small group that develops "spontaneously" following germ line mutation. The process leading to susceptibility for neoplasia is represented by the disintegration of gene systems that normally protect the fish from neoplasia. Hybridization is the most effective process that leads to disintegration of the protection gene systems. Environmental factors may complete disintegration and thus may trigger neoplasia. It is discussed whether the findings on Xiphophorus may also apply to humans.

The process leading to susceptibility for neoplasia is represented by the disintegration of gene systems that normally protect the fish from neoplasia. Interpopulational arid interracial hybridization is the most effective process that Ieads to disintegration of the protective gene systems. Environmental factors may complete disintegration in somatic cells and thus may trigger neoplasia. The applications of the findings on Xiphophorus to humans are discussed.

Zhao Ji (1082-1135), better known as Emperor Huizong (r. 1100-1126) of the Southern Song Dynasty (960-1127) gained a reputation as supreme perfectionist as artist, art collector and connoisseur, a ruler devoted to the faith of Daoism, squandering a fortune on building palaces and halls and on landscape gardening. A famous example of his costly ‘folie de grandeur’ is the Sacred Northeast Mountain Peak Genyue, a gigantic rock garden in the northeast part of the Old City of the capital Kaifeng. The garden is described in sources such as the Huayanggong jishi (Description of the Florescent Solitary Palace) by the Buddhist monk Zu Xiu from 1127 and Zhang Hao’s (ca. 1180-1250) Genyue ji (Record of the Northeast Marchmount). The project in search of auspicious blessing started in 1118, having originated in the emperor’s conviction that the Daoist Immortals would descend to this exquisite paradise situated in the centre of the world, his capital. In his conviction the landscape garden that exceeded nature’s beauty would prolong and glorify his rule for ten thousand years. The Genyue was completed in January 1123, and thus became part of Emperor Huizong’s Divine Empyrean Daoist ideology of statecraft. Contrary to all auspicious symbolism, the Song’s emblematic demonstrations of power, and the necessity to meet political expectations, Emperor Huizong proved incapable of finding a solution to the disastrous situation at the northern frontier with Jin troupes moving onto his capital. Completed in 1123 the Genyue Marchmount was destroyed in the cold winter of 1126/1127 by the inhabitants of Kaifeng in their desperate struggle for survival in their besieged town.
