No full textBe Kind to Yourself : Testing Self-Compassion, Fear of Recurrence, and Generalized Anxiety in Women with Cancer Within a Multiple-Mediation Model
No full textBackground/Objectives:
Self-compassion, characterized by treating oneself with kindness during challenges, has been shown to alleviate anxiety and fear of recurrence in cancer patients by mitigating negative emotions such as depression and fatigue. Psychological flexibility and coping strategies have emerged as potential mediators in the relationship between self-compassion and emotional well-being, suggesting that these factors play a critical role in managing distress in cancer patients. However, further research is needed to clarify the mechanisms through which self-compassion, psychological flexibility, and coping interact to influence fear of recurrence and anxiety in cancer populations.
Methods:
Two hundred and ninety-six women who had completed cancer treatment completed self-report assessments of self-compassion, psychological flexibility, coping, fear of recurrence, and generalized anxiety. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was applied to test a multiple-mediation model, including serial and parallel pathways among the study variables. Results: Self-compassion was positively associated with psychological flexibility and coping strategies, and negatively associated with fear of recurrence and generalized anxiety. Path analysis identified significant serial and parallel mediation effects, where both positive and negative self-compassion were associated with lower fear of recurrence and generalized anxiety through pathways involving psychological flexibility and emotion- and meaning-focused coping. The findings highlight the protective role of self-compassion in reducing psychological distress, suggesting that enhancing self-compassion may improve emotional adjustment in cancer patients.
Conclusions:
Attitudes based on self-kindness and a nonjudgmental approach have significant potential in reducing fear of cancer recurrence and generalized anxiety in female cancer patients, emphasizing the mediating role of psychological flexibility and coping strategies. According to the acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) model, these relationships highlight the important roles of personal resources and coping mechanisms in alleviating negative emotional states in women with cancer. Interventions focused on self-compassion and psychological flexibility could provide valuable support in coping with the emotional suffering associated with cancer
The neoliberal roots of regional embitterment : reproducing ‘left behind’ places through inter-place competition
No full textNeoliberal regional policies, inscribed in material spatial structures and state apparatuses, foster embitterment in ‘left behind’ places, even when they aim to address regional disparities and past frustrations. As a contribution to the prevalence of far-right movements and parties in ‘left behind’ places, we propose to include emotions in cultural political economic analyses in a more systematic manner. Rooted in critical theory and drawing on the empirical example of the competition for the location of the ‘Future Centre for European Transformation and German Unity’ in Germany, this paper argues that inhabitants of ‘left behind’ places experience geographical unevenness and disadvantages through neoliberal policies such as inter-place competitions
Context effects on the personality network : Exploring differences between East and West Germans
No full textRecent advances in network modeling provide a methodological toolbox for modeling personality as a dynamic system, characterized by the complex interplay of its components. Although theoretical notions suggest that personality networks are open systems that dynamically interact with sociocultural context, context effects on the personality network remain poorly understood. This study compared Big Five personality networks from 1,897 East and 5,051 West Germans who grew up under different contextual conditions in the former German Democratic Republic and Federal Republic of Germany, respectively. Employing network modeling, we explored context effects over time, distinguishing within-person dynamics from between-person associations. Our findings revealed mostly similarities in the personality networks of East and West Germans, especially in within-person contemporaneous networks that reflect within-person associations in a given assessment wave. However, we also found notable differences, especially in temporal within-person networks, representing associations between personality components over time. These findings indicate that temporal within-person dynamics were more susceptible to context effects than between-person effects were. Differences in the personality networks did not generalize to East and West Germans born in the first 10 years after the reunification. The present study underscores the importance of network modeling in exploring cross-cultural variations in personality

No full textBarrierearme Nachrichtenangebote – Teilhabe, Technik und Transfer
No full textJournalistische Verantwortung bedeutet auch, Nachrichten barrierearm aufzubereiten und bereitzustellen. Leichte und Einfache Sprache helfen dabei, komplexe Inhalte für alle verständlich zu machen. Unser Workshop setzt genau hier an: Wir betrachten praxisnah, wie Redaktionen Leichte und Einfache Sprache strategisch einsetzen, welche (Prüf-)Prozesse geeignet sein können und welche KI-Tools die Arbeit unterstützen können. Dabei behalten wir die redaktionellen Zielvorstellungen im Blick und entwickeln transferorientierte Perspektiven.
Wir möchten gemeinsam einen Nachrichtentext in Leichte Sprache übersetzen, diesen von einer geschulten Prüfperson aus der Zielgruppe prüfen lassen und im Anschluss exemplarisch die Anwendungspotenziale Künstlicher Intelligenz diskutieren. Wir stellen zudem Formate aus der journalistischen Praxis vor, die Nachrichteninhalte in Leichter und Einfacher Sprache anbieten. Unser Workshop fußt auf dem Forschungsprojekt „Leichte und Einfache Sprache im Journalismus“, das an der Katholischen Universität Eichstätt-Ingolstadt im Fachbereich Journalistik angesiedelt ist. Die zugrunde liegenden Studienergebnisse sind in einem Arbeitsheft der Otto Brenner Stiftung dokumentiert und werden zu Beginn des Workshops präsentiert
Evaluation of German Automatic Speech Recognition solutions in the context of speech and language therapy support of people with aphasia
No full textThose who suffer from aphasia benefit from digital speech and language therapy solutions, and automatic speech recognition (ASR) has been already used for giving feedback on the correctness of the answers in naming exercises. AphaDIGITAL application is to provide German-speaking users with detailed feedback on phonemic/phonetic and semantic errors, based on automatic speech and language processing. For this purpose, open-source ASR solutions for German were evaluated on different corpora of atypical speech, including two small datasets with aphasic speech samples. Character error rate, the number of precisely recognized items and empty outputs served as evaluation metrics. The four selected models are generally robust to the deteriorated condition of speech and audio quality and consistently outperform commercial models in atypical speech recognition. Applying error acceptance threshold, additional use of phonemic error rate, and other valuable insights for ASR implementation in aphaDIGITAL are discussed

No full textNew Urban Tourism : an On-Site Analysis of City Tourism's New Trend in Selected Spots in the Destination of Munich, Germany
No full textA shift in travel behavior is taking place within urban tourism. Experienced repeat visitors want to discover cities away from tourist centers and traditional attractions. They want to gain insights into everyday life in the city and explore it off the beaten track. This phenomenon is called New Urban Tourism (NUT).
This paper aims to determine whether NUT is a noteworthy phenomenon in Munich. For this purpose, three research questions were formulated.
A qualitative content analysis of travel blog entries about insider tips in Munich was conducted to answer the research questions. The goal was to identify the two insider tips that were most often mentioned. Here, face-to-face interviews with tourists and residents were conducted. The tourists were asked questions about their travel and information behavior to determine whether they could be classified as New Urban Tourists. The residents, in contrast, were asked to indicate whether they notice the presence of tourists and how this influences their perception of the neighborhood.
NUT can be described as a notable phenomenon in the city of Munich. Recommendations for future research include examining the impact of NUT on Munich and identifying the specific aspects of urban ordinariness that New Urban Tourists deem worth experiencing
