Forschungsprojekt ADEQUA – Bericht über ein DFG-Forschungsprojekt zur Förderung von Lernstrategien im Englischunterricht
(2006)
The ADEQUA research project, which is funded by the Gerrnan Research Foundation (DFG), wants to gain empirical evidence as to how autonomous leaming in the EFL classroom can effectively be supported during textbased classroom activities. For this purpose, new task formats for the EFL classroom have been developed which allow for independent work with texts in the foreign language (text comprehension) in cooperative literacy events that make cooperation among the leamers compulsory. The ADEQUA project focuses on the ...

How digitalization changes the internationalization of entrepreneurial firms: theoretical considerations and empirical evidence
(2018)
The internationalization of firms has mainly been analyzed and explained by considering observations in a pre-digital business environment. Thus, the applicability of the internationalization theories to digital ways of conducting business needs to be challenged. Recent research on the internationalization of digital firms attempts to adapt existing international business literature to the digital market. However, these studies consider internet-based companies predominantly as a homogeneous group. It is a popular ...

Symbolic versus non-symbolic magnitude estimations among children and adults
(2014-07-30)
The ability of children and adults to generate symbolic and non-symbolic magnitude estimations was examined in the light of their familiarity with numbers. Children (6-year-old kindergartners, 7-year-old first graders, and 9-year-old third graders) and adults made symbolic estimations either by saying number words that matched numbers of dots (i.e., perception task) or by generating numbers of dots that matched given number words (i.e., production task). In the non-symbolic estimation task, participants generated the ...

As concerns about food safety and environmental issues gain more attention in the public eye, organic labels are growing in popularity, being presented as the solution for a more sustainable and conscious food system.

This paper looks at how small producers, who are ...

Are there gender differences in access to and demand for East Coast fever vaccine? Empirical evidence from rural smallholder dairy farmers in Kenya
(2020-11-03)
Women lag in the adoption of agricultural innovations compared to men, mainly due to gender inequalities in access to complementary inputs, capital, and knowledge/information. The Infection-and-Treatment-Method (ITM) is considered a safe and effective method of controlling East Coast fever. However, since its commercialisation in Kenya differences in demand for this vaccine among smallholder men and women dairy cattle keepers have not been assessed. Using a sample of 448 respondents, we used an Average-Treatment-Effect ...

This Convention contains two human rights instruments: the principle of accessibility and the means of reasonable accommodation, which can be used to protect the human rights of disabled persons. The extent to which they are used depends on whether the state implements the ...

Ereigniskonzeptualisierung im Zweitspracherwerb - Thinking for Speaking im Vergleich von Muttersprachlern und Lernern
(2013)
The grammatical categories of our language can influence how we concep-tualize situations and events (Slobin 1996). A variety of studies have investigated the influence of grammatical aspect on event conceptualization and found language-specific perspectivation strategies (Stutterheim 2012): Speakers of languages with grammaticized aspect preferentially focus on dynamic event components, while speakers of non-aspect languages conceptualize events holistically by including an inferable resultant state in their ...

Dialogische Autorität. Feministisch-theologische Überlegungen zur kanonischen Schriftauslegung
(2005)
The canonical approach can be seen as a challenge for feminist theology. This paper tries to find a positive way of looking at the canon in concentrating on the space within the canonical boundaries as a dialogic and polyphonic room. In laying emphasis on the link between text and community the canonical approach cannot suspend the issue of power concerning both text and community.
