Inference Using Non-Random Samples? Stop Right There!
No full textAbstract Statistical inference allows researchers to learn things about a population using only a sample of data from that population. But if it isn't a random sample, inference becomes tricky or outright impossible, as Norbert Hirschauer, Sven Grüner, Oliver Mußhoff, Claudia Becker and Antje Jantsch explai

The British ‘Bluesman’ Paul Oliver and the Nature of Transatlantic Blues Scholarship
No full textRecent revisionist studies have argued that much of what is known about music known as the blues’ has been 'invented' by the writing of enthusiasts far removed from the African American culture that created the music. Elijah Wald and Marybeth Hamilton in particular have attempted to sift through the clouds of romanticism, and tried to unveil more empirical histories that were previously obscured by the fallacious genre distinctions conjured up during the 1960s blues revival. While this revisionist scholarship has shed light on some previously ignored historical facts, writers have tended to concentrate on the romanticism of blues writing strictly from an American perspective, failing to acknowledge the genesis and influence of transatlantic scholarship, and therefore ignoring the work of the most prolific and influential blues scholar of the twentieth century, British writer Paul Oliver. By examining the core of Oliver’s research and writing during the 1950s and 1960s, this study aims to place Oliver in his rightful place at the centre of blues historiography. His scholarship allows a more detailed appreciation of the manner in which the blues was studied, through lyrics, recordings, oral histories, photography and African American literature. These historical sources were interpreted in accordance with the author’s attitudes to the commercial popular music, which allowed the ‘reconstruction’ of an African American ‘folk’ culture in which the blues became the antithesis of pop. Importantly, this study seeks to transcend dominant discourses of national cultural ownership or ethnocentrism, and demonstrate that representations of African American music and culture were constructed within a transatlantic context. The blues is music with roots in the African American experience within the United States; however, as Paul Oliver’s writing shows, its reception and representation were not limited by the same national, cultural or racial boundaries

-erfolg von Kindern durch ihre Familien beeinflusst werden. Ausgehend von
Erkenntnissen der Sozialisationsforschung werden zunächst Sozialisation und
Erziehung im sozialen Kontext des Elternhauses thematisiert. Anschließend
werden mit Bezug auf den strukturell-individualistischen Erklärungsansatz von
Boudon (1974) zur Erklärung von Bildungsungleichheiten die Zusammenhänge
von sozialer Herkunft, schulischen Leistungen und Bildungsentscheidungen
sowie ihre individuellen und gesellschaftlichen Folgen diskutiert. Zusätzlich
wird die Rolle der sozialen Netzwerke behandelt

Ercatons and Organic Programming: Say Good-Bye to Planned Economy
No full textOrganic programming (OP) is our proposed and already emerging programming model which overcomes some of the limitations of current practice in software development in general and of object-oriented programming (OOP) in particular. Ercatons provide an implementation of the model. In some respects, OP is less than a (new) programming language, in others, it is more. An "ercato machine" implements the ideas discussed and has been used to validate the concepts described here.
Organic programming is centered around the concept of a true "Thing". A thing in an executing software system is bound to behave the way an autonomous object does in our real world, or like a cell does in an organism. Software objects do not. Therefore, traditional software systems must be planned while with OP, software systems grow. This fact is traced back to be the root why current software development often fails to meet our expectations when it comes to large-scale projects. OP should then be able to provide the means to make software development achieve what other engineering disciplines have achieved a long time ago: that project effort scales sub-linearly with size.
With OP we introduce a new term because we hope that the approach we are pursuing is radical enough to justify this

Diabetes
No full text"Der sich selbst behandelnde Kranke: Über die Herausbildung eines neuen Patiententypus am Beispiel der Diabetestherapie. Schon Jahre bevor der Hormonwirkstoff Insulin die Diabetestherapie Anfang der 1920er revolutionierte und das Leben abertausender Diabetiker weltweit von Grund auf verändern sollte, vertrat der renommierte US-amerikanische Diabetesspezialist Elliott Proctor Joslin (1869-1962) die Auffassung, dass ein diabetischer Patient seine eigene Krankenschwester, sein eigener Chemiker und der Assistent seines behandelnden Arztes sein solle. Eine bemerkenswerte Position zu einer Zeit, die gemeinhin als eine gilt, in der die Verwissenschaftlichungstendenzen einer ohnehin paternalistisch geprägten Medizin zu einer weitreichenden Marginalisierung von Patienten und Patientinnen geführt habe. Auf der Suche nach den Gründen dieser für die erste Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts ungewöhnlichen Interaktionspraxis zwischen Ärzten und Patienten leuchtet Oliver Falk in seinem Buch die Herausbildung und Konstituierung dieses kooperierenden, aktiven, sich selbst behandelnden Patient:innentypus aus, der lange vor organisierten Patientenbewegungen und »Citizen Science« konstitutiv für die moderne Diabetestherapie werden sollte. Dabei zeigt er detailliert den engen epistemologischen Zusammenhang zwischen therapeutischem Handeln und wissenschaftlichem Erkenntnisstreben auf und verdeutlicht, dass alltägliches therapeutisches Handeln nicht allein Resultat laborwissenschaftlicher und klinischer Forschungspraxis ist, sondern selbst zum Kern medizinisch-wissenschaftlicher Erkenntnisprozesse gezählt werden muss.
