Dem Malinowski-Blues entgehen: körperorientierte Entspannungsübungen zur Stressbewältigung während der Feldforschung
No full textEthnographische Feldforschung kann zu faszinierenden und überraschenden wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnissen führen. Oft werden EthnologInnen aber auch mit stressinduzierenden und manchmal traumatisierenden Erlebnissen während der Feldforschung konfrontiert. In diesem Artikel wird TRE (Tension, Stress & Trauma Releasing Exercises) als eine effektive Methode zur Stressbewältigung vor, während und nach der Feldforschung vorgestellt. Bei TRE handelt es sich um ein körperorientiertes Entspannungsverfahren, welches stressbedingte muskuläre Verspannungen löst und dadurch auch den Gemütszustand verbessern kann

Three options for citation tracking: Google Scholar, Scopus and Web of Science
No full textBackground:
Researchers turn to citation tracking to find the most influential articles for a particular topic, and to see how often their own published papers are cited. For years researchers looking for this type of information had only one resource to consult: the Web of Science. In 2004, two competitors emerged – Scopus and Google Scholar. The research reported here uses citation analysis in an observational study examining these three databases; comparing citation counts for articles from two disciplines (oncology and condensed matter physics) and two years (1993 and 2003).
Methods:
11 journal titles with varying impact factors were selected from each discipline (oncology and condensed matter physics) using the Journal Citation Reports (JCR). All articles published in the selected titles were retrieved for both years, and a stratified random sample of articles was chosen, resulting in four sets of articles. During the week of November 7-12, 2005 we extracted the citation counts for each research article from the three sources. The actual citing references for a subset of the articles published in 2003 were also gathered from each of the three sources.
Results:
For oncology 1993, Web of Science returned the highest average number of citations, 45.3. Scopus returned the highest average number of citations (8.9) for oncology 2003. Web of Science returned the highest number of citations for condensed matter physics 1993 and 2003 (22.5 and 3.9 respectively). The data showed a significant difference in the mean citation rates between all pairs of resources except between Google Scholar and Scopus for condensed matter physics 2003. For articles published in 2003, Google Scholar returned the largest amount of unique citing material for oncology and Web of Science returned the most for condensed matter physics.
Conclusions:
This study did not identify any one of these three resources as the answer to all citation tracking needs. Scopus showed strength in providing citing literature for 2003 oncology articles, while Web of Science produced more citing material for 2003 and 1993 condensed matter physics, and 1993 oncology articles. Unique material was returned by all three tools. Our data indicate that the question of which tool provides the most complete set of citing literature may depend on the subject and publication year of a given article
Multimodal ways of eliciting students' voice.
No full textFor some time researchers have been exploring how students might best be supported to express their ideas, opinions and feelings and to demonstrate what they know and can do. In this paper, we discuss some of the implications of sociocultural view of learning for how classroom research is conducted and describe some of the approaches we have used to generate information on student classroom experiences. Over the course of our work we have found that the use of multiple and multimodal data generation methods allows student with different interests and abilities to take an active part in research. We then detail some of the challenges and rewards involved in working with students in these ways as part of a research agenda focused on enhancing teaching and learning

No full textMyelination of axons facilitates rapid impulse propagation in the nervous system. The axon/myelin-unit becomes impaired in myelin-related disorders and upon normal aging. However, the molecular cause of many pathological features, including the frequently observed myelin outfoldings, remained unknown. Using label-free quantitative proteomics, we find that the presence of myelin outfoldings correlates with a loss of cytoskeletal septins in myelin. Regulated by phosphatidylinositol-(4,5)-bisphosphate (PI(4,5)P2)-levels, myelin septins (SEPT2/SEPT4/SEPT7/SEPT8) and the PI(4,5)P2-adaptor anillin form previously unrecognized filaments that extend longitudinally along myelinated axons. By confocal microscopy and immunogold-electron microscopy, these filaments are localized to the non-compacted adaxonal myelin compartment. Genetic disruption of these filaments in Sept8-mutant mice causes myelin outfoldings as a very specific neuropathology. Septin filaments thus serve an important function in scaffolding the axon/myelin-unit, evidently a late stage of myelin maturation. We propose that pathological or aging-associated diminishment of the septin/anillin-scaffold causes myelin outfoldings that impair the normal nerve conduction velocity
Localization and tensorization properties of the curvature-dimension condition for metric measure spaces
No full textAbstractThis paper is devoted to the analysis of metric measure spaces satisfying locally the curvature-dimension condition CD(K,N) introduced by the second author and also studied by Lott & Villani. We prove that the local version of CD(K,N) is equivalent to a global condition CD∗(K,N), slightly weaker than the (usual, global) curvature-dimension condition. This so-called reduced curvature-dimension condition CD∗(K,N) has the local-to-global property. We also prove the tensorization property for CD∗(K,N). As an application we conclude that the fundamental group π1(M,x0) of a metric measure space (M,d,m) is finite whenever it satisfies locally the curvature-dimension condition CD(K,N) with positive K and finite N
Marius von Mayenburg and Roland Schimmelpfennig
No full textRoland Schimmelpfennig and Marius von Mayenburg represent a new generation of playwrights to emerge in the German-speaking countries in the late 1990s; other prominent protagonists include Falk Richter, Lukas Bärfuss and Kathrin Röggla, as well as Dea Loher and Sibylle Berg. In this chapter, the author clearly shares some of their approaches, as both revisit and reinvent key conventional dramatic mechanisms, yet from a postdramatic horizon. Fireface, mapped out key themes as well as the (European middle-class) universe that keeps appearing in Mayenburg’s work in a variety of permutations. In Der Hässliche, premiered at Schaubühne Berlin in January 2007, Marius von Mayenburg plays a scathing game with postmodern ideas of the ‘performativity’ of subjectivity and contingency of identity. These academic ideas, in the context of neoliberal capitalism, contribute to an all-encompassing commodification of individuality. In fact, all of Marius von Mayenburg’s plays transcend the hyper-realities of his scenarios into grotesque exposures of absurdities of middle-class life under global capitalism
Investigating S-wave Anisotropy in the Rotondo Granite by croshole seimic Surveys
No full textThe Bedretto Laboratory, located within the Rotondo granite, conducts stimulations of the host rock to investigate the possibility of enhanced geothermal energy and tries to better understand the risk of induced seismicity. Seismic anisotropy plays an important role when processing seismic data, making its characterization essential in such a laboratory. In a previous study, through crosshole seismic, the apparent velocity of P-waves was obtained and used to give some first values of the parameters characterising anisotropy assuming a Tilted Transversely Isotropic medium (TTI). Further investigating the obtained data, S-wave splitting could be detected. This phenomenon occurs in anisotropic media, resulting in horizontal S-waves (SH) and vertical S-waves (SV) having different seismic velocities. A sensitivity analysis was performed to assess the significance of S-wave information. The analysis revealed the benefit of incorporating the information provided by the S-waves to improve the current anisotropic model. Several crosshole surveys were carried out using different instruments, such as a S-wave sparker or a 3-component geophone. The aim was to understand the behavior of S-waves better and accurately identify the arrival time of both types of waves. The results reveal that rotating the 3-component geophones data was the best choice to isolate both types of S-waves. Time arrivals were picked, and apparent velocities were calculated knowing the ray path length. They show a change from 2747 m/s to 3216m/s for SH waves, and from 2830m/s to 3105m/s for SV-waves. An attempt was made to obtain the anisotropy parameters that successfully describe the observed velocities in the Rotondo granite.Applied Geophysics | IDEA Leagu
