Equivalence of Reading and Listening Comprehension Across Test Media
(2011-09-28)
Whether an ability test delivered on either paper or computer provides the same information is an important question in applied psychometrics. Besides the validity, it is also the fairness of a measure that is at stake if the test medium affects performance. This study provides a comprehensive review of existing equivalence research in the field of reading and listening comprehension in English as a foreign language and specifies factors that are likely to have an impact on equivalence. Taking into account these ...

A pilot investigation of the relationship between climate variability and milk compounds under the bootstrap technique
(2015)
This study analyzes the linear relationship between climate variables and milk components in Iran by applying bootstrapping to include and assess the uncertainty. The climate parameters, Temperature Humidity Index (THI) and Equivalent Temperature Index (ETI) are computed from the NASA-Modern Era Retrospective-Analysis for Research and Applications (NASA-MERRA) reanalysis (2002–2010). Milk data for fat, protein (measured on fresh matter bases), and milk yield are taken from 936,227 milk records for the same period, ...

Immer noch und immer wieder – Streit um den Status von DRK-Krankenschwestern – Überlegungen nach der Lektüre einer Entscheidungsanmerkung Bernd von Maydells
(2018)
Viele tausend Schwestern des Deutschen Roten Kreuzes arbeiten noch heute in deutschen Krankenhäusern und in der Krankenpflege. Sie tun dies meist auf der Grundlage sogenannter Gestellungsverträge zwischen ihrer jeweiligen Schwesternschaft und dem Krankenhausträger. Der arbeitsrechtliche Status der DRK-Schwestern ist seit Jahrzehnten hochumstritten. Ein Aspekt dieser komplexen Problematik betrifft die Frage, ob solche Schwestern, die aufgrund von Gestellungsverträgen dauerhaft in Krankenhäusern arbeiten, in Bezug auf ...

Herausforderungen für Planungsprozesse in Reservas Extrativistas in Rondônia, Brasilien
(2017-07)
Die Reservas Extativistas (ResEx, Sammelergebiete) in Brasilien sind weltweit einmalige Schutzgebiete. Sie werden seit den 1990er Jahren gegründet, um den Kautschukzapfern Schutz vor der Holzindustrie zu bieten und die nachhaltige Nutzung zu gewähren. Die Intention war die Selbstverwaltung durch die Bewohner. Allerdings wurde die Möglichkeit der Selbstverwaltung mit der Verabschiedung des Umweltschutzgesetzes im Jahr 2000 vollständig aufgehoben. Dies führt heute zu Interessenskonflikten zwischen Umweltschutzbehörde ...

Las tradiciones discursivas, la pragmalingüística y la lingüística del discurso
(2017)
El concepto de tradición discursiva desarrollado por la lingüística románica es central para una lingüística de enfoque cultural. Este concepto se basa en el modelo coseriano de la competencia lingüística, del cual se deduce la definición de las tradiciones discursivas. Una cuestión central de la lingüística con enfoque cultural es saber según qué principios, reglas y tradiciones se rigen los hablantes al realizar tareas comunicativas. El modelo de Coseriu abarca la sistematicidad lingüística de estas reglas y ...

Fusion of Ultrasonic and Spectral Sensor Data for Improving the Estimation of Biomass in Grasslands with Heterogeneous Sward Structure
(2017-01-21)
An accurate estimation of biomass is needed to understand the spatio-temporal changes of forage resources in pasture ecosystems and to support grazing management decisions. A timely evaluation of biomass is challenging, as it requires efficient means such as technical sensing methods to assess numerous data and create continuous maps. In order to calibrate ultrasonic and spectral sensors, a field experiment with heterogeneous pastures continuously stocked by cows at three grazing intensities was conducted. Sensor ...

Social Loafing in the Refugee Crisis: Information about Existing Initiatives Decreases Willingness to Help
(2017-05-11)
In light of the European refugee situation, we investigate how information about others’ support influences individuals’ willingness to help. When individuals see information about other people supporting refugees, they may either be influenced by a descriptive norm, and act accordingly. Alternatively, they may perceive that others are already doing the job, and thus engage in social loafing. In an experiment (N = 132), we tested these competing predictions. Specifically, participants were exposed to a map of Germany ...

Distributing mathematical practice of third and seventh graders: Applicability of the spacing effect in the classroom
(2018-10-23)
We examined the effect of distributed practice on the mathematical performance of third and seventh graders (N = 213) in school. Students first received an introduction to a mathematical topic, derived from their curriculum. Thereafter, they practiced in one of two conditions. In the massed condition, they worked on three practice sets in 1 day. In the distributed condition, they worked on one practice set per day for 3 consecutive days. Bayesian analyses of the performance in two follow‐up tests 1 and 6 weeks after ...

Phenotypic diversity, major genes and production potential of local chickens and guinea fowl in Tamale, northern Ghana
(2017-06-26)
Objective:
Our study provides information on phenotypes of local chickens and guinea fowl and their body measures as well as on major genes in local chickens in northern Ghana.
Methods:
Qualitative and morphometric traits were recorded on 788 local chickens and 394 guinea fowl in urban households in Tamale, Ghana.
Results:
The results showed considerable variation of color traits and numerous major genes in local chickens, while color variations and related genotypes in guinea fowl were limited. In local chickens, ...
