Peace journalism
No full textOver the years, peace journalism has experienced growth in terms of its understanding and practice. Rooted in research based upon peacebuilding and conflict-resolution, the concept has been used to train journalists reporting from conflict areas around the globe to focus on the suffering of the many and to highlight areas of agreement between the various entities at arms against each other. The concept has also faced criticism for its normative approach and for placing the task of peacebuilding on journalists. Despite the progress achieved by the concept, in this entry we argue that peace journalism can strengthen its theoretical foundations and enhance its application by focusing on contextual elements, by incorporating learnings from conflict research, and by exploring opportunities offered by digitalization

No full textSarahs Papa ist Soldat bei der Marine. Oft ist er mit dem Schiff unterwegs. Manchmal sind es nur ein paar Tage, aber manchmal dauert es auch mehrere Monate, bis er wieder nach Hause kommt. Sarah erzählt in dieser Geschichte, wie ihre Mutter und ihr Bruder Finn im Alltag ohne Papa klarkommen, welche Aufgaben ihr Vater an Bord des Marineschiffes hat und wie zwischen den Abwesenheiten daheim das Familienleben stattfindet. Das Mutmachbuch schließt mit ein paar aufbauenden Kindergebeten, sowie mit einem Nachwort für Eltern mit wertvollen Infos und Tipps rund um den Einsatz
Near-Circularity in Capacity and Maximally Convergent Polynomials
No full textIf f is a power series with radius R of convergence, R > 1, it is well-known that the method of Carathéodory–Fejér constructs polynomial approximations of f on the closed unit disk which show the typical phenomenon of near-circularity on the unit circle. Let E be compact and connected and let f be holomorphic on E. If is a sequence of polynomials converging maximally to f on E, it is shown that the modulus of the error functions f - pn is asymptotically constant in capacity on level lines of the Green’s function of the complement of E in with pole at infinity, thereby reflecting a type of near-circularity, but without gaining knowledge of the winding numbers of the error curves with respect to the point 0
A mindfulness- and relaxation-based nature intervention improves mood in depressed patients in psychosomatic rehabilitation : results from the GREENCARE non-randomized controlled clinical trial
No full textIntroduction
Guided contact with nature has positive effects on well-being. Little is known about the effectiveness of adding nature-based interventions to inpatient treatment for depression. Therefore, we evaluated a mindfulness- and relaxation-based nature intervention for depressed patients in psychosomatic rehabilitation treatment.
Method
Psychosomatic rehabilitation inpatients with depression were allocated to either a Greencare mindfulness- and relaxation-based nature intervention (n = 116) or to treatment as usual plus waitlist control group (TAU+WL) (n = 111) in two centres. All patients received questionnaires on admission (T1) and discharge (T2). Greencare patients received follow-up questionnaires three months after the intervention (T3). Main outcome was mood, assessed by the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS). Secondary outcomes were depression, mindfulness, state self-compassion, and contact with nature. Data were analysed as intent-to-treat using mixed models for repeated measures, adjusted for propensity score and centre. Patients’ ratings of the effectiveness of the sessions and their well-being, and situational aspects of each session, were recorded.
Results
We found significant interactions of time*group for PANAS, showing greater positive affect (Cohen’s d at T2 = 0.48) and lower negative affect (Cohen’s d at T2 = 0.52) in the Greencare group compared to the TAU+WL group at T2. At follow-up (T3), the effects in the Greencare group decreased, but remained significant compared to T1. Significant results for self-compassion and non-significant effects for depression and mindfulness were found. The groups did not differ in the amount of contact with nature. Sensitivity analyses revealed more favourable follow-up effects for patients with higher levels of depression. Patients reported high ratings of effectiveness and well-being for each session, and these ratings were not related to the weather conditions. No adverse events were reported.
Discussion
Depressed inpatients benefitted from a Greencare mindfulness- and relaxation-based nature intervention by improving positive and negative affect. The effects were slightly reduced after three months, but less in patients with higher levels of depression on admission. Results show that the intervention is feasible and effective even for patients with higher symptom burden.

Brief psychiatric and psychological psychotherapy PKP for anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorders
No full textPsychiatric and psychological brief psychotherapy PKP for anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorders guides you safely through the specific therapeutic measures of evidence-based behavioural therapy. The therapy cards make it possible to go through the individual therapy steps directly with the patient, so that exactly what works takes place. There is a set of cards for all major anxiety disorders - on the front, what to do and on the back, what to bear in mind. Patients really enjoy working with the cards and therapists feel confident in using them. Even if the ring binder is used instead of the cards (with what to do at the top and what is important at the bottom), working with PKP works very well. It starts with a plausible disorder model for the patient, continues with self-observation, preparation of the intervention, its implementation and effectiveness testin
A Conceptual and Empirical Study of News Avoidance and its Underlying Factors in the German Population
No full textResponsible CSR and ESG Management Competencies : Higher Education Alternative Credentials in the DACH-Region
No full textLernende erwerben relevante Nachhaltigkeitskenntnisse, wie Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) und Environmental, Social, Governance (ESG) Praktiken, indem sie alternative Zertifizierungen (AC), kurze Kurse, zur lebenslangen Weiterbildung nutzen. Diese qualitative Forschung untersucht den aktuellen Stand und den kulturellen Einfluss der Vermittlung von individuellen CSR- und ESG-Kompetenzen mit AC in Hochschuleinrichtungen (HEI). Die Autoren identifizieren 68 AC innerhalb 179 HEI in der DACH-Region (Deutschland, Österreich und Schweiz) und analysieren Kompetenzbereiche explorativ mit MAXQDA. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die am häufigsten implementierte Kompetenz der kognitionsorientierte Bereich ist, das Grundlagenverständnis. Darüber hinaus bieten deutsche HEI deutlich mehr Reflexionen im metaorientierten Bereich an, was potenziell auf kulturelle Unterschiede wie einen direkteren Feedback- und Meinungsverschiedenheiten-Ansatz zurückzuführen ist
Definite null instantiation in English(es) : A Usage-based Construction Grammar approach
No full textThis study examines the theoretical status as well as the quantitative distribution of subjects with Definite Null Instantiation (DNI) readings in Standard British English, Hong Kong English, and Singapore English from the perspective of Usage-based Construction Grammar. Following an extensive review of previous theoretical treatments, I propose an alternative formalization of DNI as a both schematic and semantically rich construction. Based on spoken data from the International Corpus of English, random forests and logistic regression models were then fitted to complement the theoretical model of DNI with distributional data, taking into account both intra- and extra-linguistic predictors. The models reveal significant differences between L1- and L2-usage; the extent of these constructional reconfigurations is best explained by a combination of substrate influence and the socio-cognitive stability of the L2-varieties
Automated versus Human Agents : A Meta-Analysis of Customer Responses to Robots, Chatbots, and Algorithms and Their Contingencies
No full textThis meta-analysis examines when three types of automated agents (AAs)—robots, chatbots, and algorithms—are equivalent to human agents (HAs) in marketing roles. Analyzing 943 effect sizes from 327 studies provides novel insights. First, customers may be skeptical of AAs; however, they value their performance and eventually choose or buy from them as if they were interacting with HAs. Second, each of the three AA types has a unique set of contingencies that affect its human equivalence; previously identified contingencies do not generalize and can even have opposing effects across AA types. This study also identifies novel contingencies, such as the multifaceted concept of artificial intelligence required to fulfill a task. Third, some contingencies make AAs more humanlike, while others make their machine characteristics salient. These findings enrich the concept of automated social presence (ASP), suggesting that AAs are hybrid beings with a social presence (i.e., the feeling of interacting with a humanlike entity) and an automated presence (i.e., the feeling of interacting with a machine entity). The authors provide recommendations on when AAs can replace HAs in marketing roles to release capacity and alleviate labor shortages. They also suggest a future research agenda
Emotions- und Mentalisierungsfördernde Verhaltenstherapie in der Gruppe EMVT-G / Band 2: weitere 10 Gruppenabende (KZT2)
No full textDies ist Band 2, der nach den ersten 10 Gruppensitzungen in Band 1 nun die weiteren 10 Sitzungen (Sitzung 11 bis Sitzung 20) der EMVT enthält. Zur Erinnerung eine Wiederholung aus Band 1:EMVT ist primär ein gruppentherapeutischer Ansatz und entfaltet seine therapeutische
Wirksamkeit besonders im Gruppenprozess. Deshalb ist es naheliegend, ein EMVTGruppentherapie-
Manual herauszugeben. Dieses Buch ist das Ergebnis. Es führt die Gruppe durch
alle sieben Module. Daraus werden 20 doppelstündige Gruppensitzungen je 100 Minuten. Bei vielen Modulen ist es sinnvoll, eine Auswahl von Übungen einzusetzen und nicht alle Angebote in eine Sitzung zu packen. Dadurch kann die Therapie individueller werden. Bei allen Modulen ist ein psychoedukativer Teil dabei, der einen Grundstock an Wissen vermittelt, so dass die
Gruppenmitglieder einen Überblick erhalten und die Übungen gedanklich einordnen können.
• Eingebettet in den Gruppenprozess finden beim Emotion Tracking (eine Adaptation von Albert
Pessos Microtracking für die Verhaltenstherapie, siehe Bachg & Sulz 2022) Einzelgespräche statt, bei denen neben der Gruppenleiterin eine ZeugIn sitzt und die anderen Gruppenmitglieder im Halbkreis so um die beiden herum, dass alle das Gesicht desjenigen sehen, der sich für ein Einzelgespräch gemeldet hat.
