Das Forschungsprojekt Kinder als „Stakeholder“ in Kindertageseinrichtungen (KiSte) zielt auf die empirisch fundierte Erfassung der unterschiedlichen Sichtweisen von Kindern auf ihre Kindertageseinrichtung (Kita). Es wird davon ausgegangen, dass Kinder ihre eigenständigen Ideen zur Ausgestaltung der frühpädagogischen Arrangements haben, diese aber nicht durchgängig im Diskurs um die Weiterentwicklung frühpädagogischer Arrangements wahrgenommen werden. Da Kinder neben den Pädagog*innen die zentralen Akteur*innen und ...

Coaching is increasingly used to support entrepreneurs across different stages of the entrepreneurial process. Due to its custom‐tailored, active, and reflection‐oriented approach, it has been suggested that it is particularly well suited to entrepreneurs’ complex job demands. However, in the entrepreneurial context, the term coaching lacks a clear definition and is frequently used interchangeably with other types of support. We therefore sought to characterize entrepreneurial coaching (EC) and to position it relative ...

The characteristics of self-employment in Europe have changed profoundly in the last decades. The share of solo self-employment has grown and individuals combine more frequently dependent employment with self-employment at the same time, or more often switch between dependent employment and self-employment. These developments heavily affect the pensions of the self-employed and therefore present a challenge for the old-age security systems of European welfare states. So far, there has been little comparative research ...

Interacting driving forces in food systems, resulting in cumulative driver effects and synergies, induce non-linear processes in multiple directions. This paper critically reviews the discourse on driving forces in food systems and argues that mindset is the primary predictor for food system outcomes. In the epoch of sustainable development goals (SDGs) and the Anthropocene, mindset matters more than ever. Transformative narratives are beginning to transcend the dominant social paradigm, which is still driving the ...

Background Compared to the employed, the unemployed are characterized by a substantially worse health status, particularly with regards to mental health. At the same time, conventional offers of prevention and health promotion rarely reach the unemployed. The JOBS Program is a health promotion program that combines job application training with elements of social learning theory and self-efficacy. Randomized field studies in the USA and Finland found significant positive effects on reintegration into the labor market ...

Adolescent refugees are confronted with multiple developmental, psychological, and social challenges after flight. Psychosocial interventions are therefore necessary to support adolescents during the first period after arrival in a receiving country and to avoid negative long-term consequences. Unfortunately, little is known about the types and the effects of such interventions provided during this time. This systematic review aimed to synthesize research about psychosocial interventions for refugee youth during the ...

Der folgende Beitrag nimmt ausgehend von einem Forschungsvorhaben, welches Kinder als ‚Stakeholder‘ in Kindertageseinrichtungen adressiert, in den Blick, wie Kinder im Kontext institutioneller Arrangements Peer- und Freundschaftsbeziehungen zum Thema machen. Es zeigt sich, dass die Formen der Thematisierung von verbindlichen „Wir“-Erzählungen bis zu komplexen, asymmetrischen Beziehungserfahrungen reichen.

Background In developing countries such as Nepal, many children aged below 3 years do not grow at a sufficiently high rate and are vulnerable to micronutrient deficiencies (e.g. vitamin A). Challenges to child nutrition can result from poverty, unhealthy traditional practices, inadequate caring and feeding practices. The present study aimed to assess the feeding practices of pre‐school children and their associated factors. Methods A cross‐sectional study was carried out in pre‐schools located in Kathmandu ...

Die Wahlbeteiligung für die studentische Selbstverwaltung liegt meist knapp über zehn Prozent. Dies wird u. a. mit der großen Belastung durch das Studium erklärt und mit der Aussichts-losigkeit, gegen die Stimmen der Professorinnen und Professoren überhaupt etwas ausrichten zu können. Aber sind Millionenbeträge für den Allgemeinen Studierenden-ausschuss (AStA) gerechtfertigt, wenn eine winzige Minderheit der Studierenden eine noch winzigere Zahl von politischen Aktivisten wählt, von denen dann gut die Hälfte, mehr ...

Human–elephant conflict (HEC) is a severe and much-debated issue in Sri Lanka. An average of two hundred animals are intentionally killed, and seventy to eighty human casualties are counted each year. The Sri Lankan elephant (Elephas maximus maximus) is an endangered subspecies. The reported elephant mortality rates are high. On the other hand, human–elephant conflict also leads to hardship and trauma among rural populations. This research paper reviews causal explanations for HEC in Sri Lanka, tracing underlying ...
