Homework and Media Education. An exploratory study on the ecology of media activities in home learning contexts of secondary school pupils in German-speaking Switzerland
No full textDas Pilotprojekt «Hausaufgaben und Medienbildung» untersucht Formen und Inhalte des Medienhandelns von Schülerinnen und Schüler der Sekundarstufe 1 im Kontext der Hausaufgaben in der Deutschschweiz. Ziel der Studie ist es, erstmalig detaillierte Einblicke in die Praxis des alltäglichen Medienhandelns von Sekundarschülerinnen und -schülern während der Erledigung von Hausaufgaben zu erhalten.
Ziel des vorliegenden Beitrags ist die Darstellung des Studiendesigns der vom Schweizerischen Nationalfonds (SNF) geförderten Studie «Hausaufgaben und Medienbildung», deren Erhebung im Herbst 2018 nach der Publikation dieses Beitrags stattfindet. Die Darstellung beinhaltet (1) den übergreifenden theoretischen Rahmen der sozio-kulturellen Ökologie und der Medienbildung, die gemeinsam die argumentative Verbindung zwischen Medien als Kulturgütern zu ihrer Bildungsfunktion schaffen. (2) fasst der Beitrag den für das Projekt relevanten Stand der hauptsächlich deutsch-sprachigen Hausaufgaben-Forschung zusammen und schliesst mit der Feststellung, dass sich die Medienpädagogik bislang nicht empirisch mit dem Zusammenhang von Hausaufgaben und Medienhandeln beschäftigt hat. Der (3) Teil des Beitrags beinhaltet das Studiendesign zu dem die erste Vorstudie im Herbst und Winter 2016/2017 wesentlich beitrug und neben der Anpassung des Erhebungsinstruments «Medientagebuch» auch der Gewinnung erster hier verkürzt dargestellter Ergebnisse diente.The pilot project «Homework and Media Education» investigates forms and contents of media activities of secondary 1 school pupils in the context of homework in German-speaking Switzerland. The study aims to gain first insights into practices of daily media activities in the context of their homework.
This contribution aims to present the overarching design of the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNF) funded study «Homework and Media Education». The study’s main survey takes place in autumn 2018 after the publication of this article. This presentation contains (1) the overarching theoretical framework of the socio-cultural ecology and Media Education (German: Medienbildung), that commonly provide the argumentative relation between media as cultural resources and their function within Bildung. (2) the contribution summarises the relevant state of the mainly German research in the field of homework and concludes that Media Education as a discipline has not yet covered homework and media activities in empirical research. The (3) part contains the research design to which the pre-study in 2016/2017 contributed substantially by the adaptation of the survey instrument «Media diary» and by providing first briefly presented results
Natural convection in the horizontal annulus: Critical Rayleigh number for the steady problem
No full textFor the 2D Oberbeck–Boussinesq system in an annulus, we are looking for the critical Rayleigh number for which the (non-zero) basic flow loses stability. For this, we consider the corresponding Euler–Lagrange equations and construct a precise functional analytical frame for the Laplace and the Stokes problem as well as the Bilaplacian operator in this domain. With this frame and the right set of basis functions, it is then possible to construct and apply a numerical scheme providing the critical Raleigh number

Pseudohydromys murinus Rummler 1934
No full text309. Eastern New Guinea Shrew Mouse Pseudohydromys murinus French: Souris-musaraigne orientale / German: Ostliche Moosmaus / Spanish: Raton musarana de Nueva Guinea oriental Other common names: Eastern Shrew Mouse Taxonomy. Pseudohydromys murinus Rummler, 1934, “Morobe, Mt. Misim [= Missim], 7000 Ful} [= feet] [= 2134 m], Nordost-Newguinea [= NE Papua New Guinea] (Brit. N.-G.).» Pseudohydromys murinus is the type species of the genus. Specimens now referred to P. eleanorae were formerly identified as P. murinus. K. M. Helgen and L. E. Helgen referred both of those species to a murinus species group that also includes P. berniceae. Two morphometrically distinct forms are identified, possibly representing two species: one form occurs in the Owen Stanley Range, Mount Missim and Mount Kaindi, all in eastern Papua New Guinea, and represents typical murinus, the other, currently unnamed form comprises specimens from central Papua New Guinea. A gap of ¢.200 km currently separates the two populations. P. murinus is syntopic through most of its range with P. fuscus and P. ellermani, additionally with P. eleanorae in the far west; in the Owen Stanley Range it issyntopic with P. berniceae and P. germani. Monotypic. Distribution. Widely distributed in the C & E parts of the Central Range of New Guinea. Descriptive notes. Head-body 70-105 mm, tail 81-102 mm, ear 9-13 mm, hindfoot 18-22 mm; weight 15-19-9 g. Pseudohydromys is a taxonomically diverse group of smallbodied murines characterized by dense, velvety to plush fur; a variably narrowed and flattened head with small eyes and ears; head generally without contrasting pattern; vibrissae fine and elongate, extending past ears; eyes small to minute; narrow hindfeet, lacking webbing between digits and with claws on all digits; tail narrow and thinly furred, approximating to combined length of head and body; mammae (when known) two on each side, both inguinal; cranium delicately built, with small molars reduced in number to two or fewer per quadrant. Members of the murinus species group have two molars per quadrant, relatively unreduced in size compared with members of other species groups; they also share a suite of special cranial features. The Eastern New Guinea Shrew Mouse is among the smaller members of genus; fur is short and velvety, dark brownish gray on upperparts but usually with pale flecking on back and rump, slightly paler below, with no contrasting markings on head; vibrissae fine and elongate, extending well past ears; eyes very small; ears small and dark gray; upper surfaces of forefeet white;upper surfaces of hindfeet pigmented and with dark gray hairs except for digits, which are white; tail (averages 102% of head-body length) is dark for most of length, but sometimes with pale mottling orvery short white tip. Spermatozoa with head 8-5 pm long and 3 pm wide, with apical hook and two accessory ventral hooks,tail 107 pm. Habitat. All records are from evergreen tropical montane rainforests, ranging from lower montane rainforest between c.1500 m and ¢.2500 m, and upper montane rainforest above ¢.2500 m, to the tree line, where Eastern New Guinea Shrew Mice have been taken in elfin mossy forest bordering subalpine grassland at elevations of ¢.3400 m. Food and Feeding. A study of the diet of the Eastern New Guinea Shrew Mouse and two congeners in Morobe Province, as reflected by gut contents, found this species to be primarily insectivorous, eating less plant tissue and more oligochaete worms than did Shaw Mayer’s Shrew Mouse (P. ellermani) and the Mottled-tailed Shrew Mouse (FP. fuscus). Breeding. The low mammary formula (two pairs) indicates a small litter size. One specimen captured at Mount Kaindi, Morobe Province, in October 1962 was pregnant, with asingle embryo. Activity patterns. No information. Movements, Home range and Social organization. No information. Status and Conservation. Classified as Least Concern on The IUCN Red List. The lower part of the elevational range in the central cordillera of Papua New Guinea coincides with a zone of extensive habitat modification caused by long-term subsistence agricultural activities. Habitats above 2500 m are much less affected by subsistence activities, but, in places within the range of the Eastern New Guinea Shrew Mouse, are potentially impacted by large-scale resource-development projects.

Customizing Service Platforms (Dagstuhl Seminar 13171)
No full textThis report documents the program and the outcomes of Dagstuhl Seminar 13171 "Customizing Service Platforms". The aim of the seminar was to bring together researchers from different areas of academia and industry that are related to the seminar topic and typically do not intensively interact with each other. These communities are Product Line Engineering, Software Architecture, Service Engineering, and Cloud Computing.
The ambition of the seminar was to work on the topic of "Customization of Service Platforms", which is related to all of these areas, in a synergistic and cooperative way to identify new research challenges and solution approaches. As part of the seminar, we identified a number of key areas which provided the basis for highly interactive working groups
Macruromys major Rummler 1935
No full text250. Greater Small-toothed Rat Macruromys major French: Grand Macruromys / German: Grofse Neuguinea-Kleinzahnratte / Spanish: Rata de dientes pequenos mayor Other common names: Eastern Small-toothed Rat, Greater Macruromys Taxonomy. Macruromys major Rummler, 1935, Kratke Mountains, 1220-1524 m, Buntibasa District, Eastern Highland Province, Papua New Guinea. G. G. Musser and M. D. Carleton in 2005 treated Macruromys under the Pogonomys division, and several recent phylogenetic studies place it as sister to Chiruromys vates, nested within a Pogonomys — Lorentzimys clade together with Anisomys and Hyomys. Monotypic. Distribution. New Guinea, including Cordillera Central from Snow (= Sudirman) Mts E to Mt Simpson and Huon Peninsula. Descriptive notes. Head—body 225-263 mm, tail 315-340 mm, ear 13-19 mm, hindfoot 52-60 mm; one female weighed 350 g. This medium-large rat is bigger than the Lesser Small-toothed Rat (M. elegans) and has coarser pelage. Both species are superficially like Rattus or Uromys, but with naked tail having overlapping scales, carrying three hairs per scale, and with verysmall, simple molars. The Greater Small-toothed Rat has upperparts finely mottled yellowish black, with middle of back appearing generally blackish brown, and underparts are whitish gray with white basal hairs. Long tail is gray brown on basal two-thirds and white at tip. It differs from the Lesser Small-toothed Rat in being larger and having white tail tip. Skull is peculiar in that, combined with full braincase, long rostrum, and slightly expanded zygomata, the three molars are excep- tionally small and reduced. Females have four mammae. Habitat. The Greater Small-toothed Rat appears to be restricted to mid-montane tropical forest, where it is usually collected along creeks and rivers. Its altitudinal range is 660-1900 m, but it is most common between 1200 m and 1550 m. Food and Feeding. No information. Dietary significance of the relatively small molars is not known. Breeding. No information. Activity patterns. The long whiskers of the Greater Small-toothed Rat relate to a nocturnal lifestyle. It is usually collected on the ground, and lives in burrows on forest floor. Movements, Home range and Social organization. No information. Status and Conservation. Classified as Least Concern on The IUCN Red List. Although it appears to be a naturally scarce species confined to a fairly narrow altitudinal range, the Greater Small-toothed Rat has a relatively wide distribution, and the population is stable. It is not known if it is present in any protected areas, but it may occur in Lorentz National Park. Further investigation is needed into the distribution, abundance, and threats to this species, which is subject to hunting by local people, presumably for food. Bibliography.
