Vielfalt* lehren – sexuelle und geschlechtliche Vielfalt im Studium der Grundschulpädagogik
2021
This article takes instances of discrimination and coming out experiences of young queer people as a starting point in order to focus on the field of sexual and gender diversity at the elementary/primary school level. Thus, the author examines laws and regulations of schools and universities regarding their general implementation of sex-education, and in relation to gender and sexual diversity in particular. The article proposes an outline that recommends implementing an interdisciplinary and heteronormative critical sex-education with which gender is posited as an identity marker within a discourse around inclusion and diversity. The article proposes an outline that recommends implementing…
Incremental-Entity Personal Conceptions of Intelligence and Individualism-Collectivism in Italian Students
2015
This article examines the relationship between Incremental-Entity personal conceptions of intelligence and the cultural dimension of Individualism-Collectivism in Italian students attending high school. Four types of individualism and collectivism were investigated: 1) Vertical-Individualism, characterized by independent and different self; 2) Horizontal-Individualism, characterized by independent and similar self; 3) Vertical-Collectivism, characterized by interdependent and different self; and 4) Horizontal-Collectivism, characterized by interdependent and similar self. The sample includes 250 students,3th and 5th graders. A battery of tests including a Sociodemographic Questionnaire, the…
Esquizofrènia tardana, un diagnòstic diferent?. Conceptualització i simptomatologia
2016
espanolLa esquizofrenia tardia se ha revelado como un diagnostico destacado por su controversia a lo largo del ultimo siglo. La polemica surgida en torno a este trastorno se centra en su marco psicopatologico y en sus diferencias y similitudes con la esquizofrenia temprana. Por ello, el objetivo de esta revision es conceptualizar el trastorno y esclarecer los sintomas, asi como delimitar si la esquizofrenia tardia deberia ser considerada como una categoria independiente. La presente revision utilizo como motor de busqueda la metabase de datos ProQuest Central, seleccionando un total de veintidos bases de datos. Se realizaron dos busquedas, utilizando los terminos «late onset schizophrenia» …
Significados sobre genética transmitidos por el cine y la educación formal
2015
La genética es uno de los temas científicos que más impacto tienen en la actual sociedad del conocimiento. Pero a su vez el aprendizaje de estos contenidos se configura como uno de los problemas más generalizados en la educación formal. El objetivo de este trabajo es comprobar si las ideas sobre genética transmitidas por las películas que los estudiantes ven podrían generar o fomentar sus ideas previas sobre el tema. Para ello se contrastan tres fuentes de significados: los personales de los estudiantes, los implementados, y los transmitidos por las películas. Tras este estudio proponemos que los significados transmitidos por las películas pueden reforzar, o incluso generar, las ideas errón…
Diseased Social Predators
2017
Social predators benefit from cooperation in the form of increased hunting success, but may be at higher risk of disease infection due to living in groups. Here, we use mathematical modeling to investigate the impact of disease transmission on the population dynamics benefits provided by group hunting. We consider a predator-prey model with foraging facilitation that can induce strong Allee effects in the predators. We extend this model by an infectious disease spreading horizontally and vertically in the predator population. The model is a system of three nonlinear differential equations. We analyze the equilibrium points and their stability as well as one- and two-parameter bifurcations. …

Geographies of Cyberspace: Internet, Community, Space, and Place
2017
This chapter “Geographies of Cyberspace” discusses the term “cyberspace” in relation to the concepts of “space”, “place”, and “community” by reviewing the academic literature from human geography, sociology, and cultural anthropology. It forms the basis for the development of a phenomenological perspective on cyberspace. Instead of presenting all possible approaches towards cyberspace, this chapter discusses only those concepts that focus on the connections between on- and offline life. It proposes that cyberspace not only includes spatial and territorial metaphors , as several human geographers have pointed out, but that it is also characterised by complex geographies, which have to be exp…
Analysing the presence of school-shooting related communities at social media sites
2010
Surprisingly cruel mass murders and attacks have been witnessed in the educational institutions of the Western world since the 1970s. These are often referred to as 'school shootings'. There have been over 300 known incidents around the world and the number is growing. Social network sites (SNSs) have enabled the perpetrators to express their views and intentions. Our result is that since about 2005, all major school shooters have had a presence in SNS and some have left traces that would have made possible to evaluate their intentions to carry out a rampage. A further hypothesis is that future school shooters will behave in a similar manner and would thus be traceable in the digital sphere…
Leitbilder im Recht: Grenzen der Ordnung – Chancen der Unordnung
2018
„Guiding principles“ as topoi in German juridical discourse are mainly analyzed with regard to their relation to familiar dogmatic and methodological categories. This article suggests engaging with a deconstructing, psychoanalysis-inspired approach to the guiding principles of legal discourse.
Life satisfaction, distress, and resiliency across the life span of women.
2009
Objective: This study aimed to determine (1) the relationship between life satisfaction, mental disorders, and aging in the female community and (2) to identify the impact of vulnerability factors, personal (resilience, self-esteem), and social resources on life satisfaction and distress. Methods: A stratified random sample of the German female population (N = 2,540) was investigated using standardized questionnaires of life satisfaction (Questions on Life Satisfaction), depression, anxiety (Patient Health Questionnaire), resilience scale (RS-11), and self-esteem (Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale). Results: When participants were divided into six age groups (18-30, 31-40, 41-50, 51-60, 61-70, an…
