Die vorliegende Arbeit verfolgt den Anspruch, die von Paul Natorp (1907) gestellte Frage, was die Gemeinschaft für die Erziehung und umgekehrt die Erziehung für die Gemeinschaft bedeute, empirisch auszuloten. Im Mittelpunkt des Forschungsinteresses steht dabei das Verhältnis von Schule und Gemeinschaft in der ‚postnationalen Konstellation‘ (Habermas 1998), dem sich die Arbeit über die Untersuchung von Unterrichtskommunikation zu den Themen ‚Nationalsozialismus/Holocaust‘ und ‚Multikulturalismus/Rassismus‘ anzunähern versucht.
Zur Vorbereitung der empirischen Studie wird im Rahmen einer Semantikstudie zunächst der pädagogische Diskurs zum Thema Gemeinschaft von den ersten Vorläufern gemeinschaftspä-dagogischen Denkens bis hin zu aktuellen konzeptionellen Entwürfen nachgezeichnet. Funktion und Bedeutung der Gemeinschaftsfigur als Bezugskategorie von Erziehungsreflexion in der Moderne werden herausgearbeitet. Weiterhin werden die rekonstruierten gemeinschaftspädagogischen Konzepte in Hinblick auf ihr Spannungspotential zu Leitprinzipien demokratischer Erziehung beleuchtet.
Mithilfe sequenzanalytischer Interpretationen wird anschließend der Frage nachgegangen, welche Rolle Gemeinschaftsbezügen als Fluchtpunkt pädagogischer Einwirkungsbemühungen im Unterricht zukommt. Gleichzeitig wird gefragt, ob und in welcher Weise Unterricht Gemeinschaft als Ermöglichungsform zur Umsetzung seiner pädagogischen Absichten in Anspruch nimmt. Nicht zuletzt richtet die Analyse das Augenmerk auf den Umgang mit den potentiellen Herausforderungen, die unter Migrationsbedingungen mit dem Rekurrieren auf Gemeinschaft am Lernort (Geschichts-)Unterricht verbunden sind.
Die Interpretationen zeigen, wie Unterricht Gemeinschaft in Anspruch nimmt, um die Bedingungen seines Prozessierens zu sichern. Weiterhin decken sie zwei kontrastierende Typen des Rekurrierens auf Gemeinschaft als Fluchtpunkt pädagogischer Kommunikation zum Thema NS auf. Als Lösungsoption im Umgang mit den migrationsbedingten Herausforderungen von Geschichtsunterricht zum Thema NS deutet sich indes die Tendenz an, verstärkt auf eine universalistische Erinnerungs- und Verantwortungskultur Bezug zu nehmen.
Das Gefahrenpotential, das dem Gemeinschaftsgedanken in der aktuellen erziehungswissenschaftlichen Diskussion zugeschrieben wird, erweist sich in den betrachteten Unterrichtsse-quenzen als beschränkt. Die Beobachtungen legen vielmehr die These einer eingehegten Form von Gemeinschaftserziehung in der gegenwärtigen Unterrichtspraxis nahe. Darin erfährt das Risiko, das gemeinschaftspädagogischen Ansätzen ihrer Kritik nach eingeschrieben ist, über normative Selbstverpflichtungen der pädagogischen Praxis eine Eindämmung.
I’m probably not alone in observing that there seems to be an increasing number of data articles being published in the field of conflict studies and IR. Together with some colleagues, I’m even preparing one myself at the moment! Is that perceived increase in data publication actually measurable? And does it indeed amount to “drowning”?
This paper explores how banks adjust their risk-based capital ratios and asset allocations following an exogenous shock to their asset quality caused by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. We find that independent banks based in the disaster areas increase their risk-based capital ratios after the hurricane, while those part of a bank holding company do not. The effect on independent banks mainly comes from the subgroup of high-capitalized banks. These banks increase their holdings in government securities and reduce loans to non-financial firms. Hence, banks that become more stable achieve this at the cost of reduced lending.
A number of recent studies regress a "narratively" identified measure of a macroeconomic shock directly on an outcome variable. In this note, we argue that this approach can be viewed as the reduced-form regression of an instrumental variable approach in which the narrative time series is used as an instrument for an endogenous series of interest. This motivates evaluating the validity of narrative measures through the lens of a randomized experiment. We apply our framework to four recently constructed narrative measures of tax shocks by Romer and Romer (2010), Cloyne (2013), and Mertens and Ravn (2012). All of them turn out to be weak instruments for observable measures of taxes. After correcting for weak instruments, we find that using any of the considered narrative tax measures as an instrument for cyclically adjusted tax revenues yields tax multiplier estimates that are indistinguishable from zero. We conclude that the literature currently understates the uncertainty associated with quantifying the tax multiplier.
This paper studies a dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model involving climate change. Our model allows for damages on economic growth resulting from global warming. In the calibration, we capture effects from climate change and feedback effects on the temperature dynamics. We solve for the optimal state-dependent abatement policy. In our simulations, the costs of this policy measured in terms of lost GDP growth are moderate. On the other hand, postponing abatement action could reduce the probability that the climate can be stabilized. For instance, waiting for 10 years reduces this probability from 60% to 30%. Waiting for another 10 years leads to a probability that is less than 10%. Finally, doing nothing opens the risk that temperatures might explode and economic growth decreases significantly.
The banking system is highly interconnected and these connections can be conveniently represented as an interbank network. This survey presents a systematic overview of the recent advances in the theoretical literature on interbank networks. We assess our current understanding of the structure of interbank networks, of how network characteristics affect contagion in the banking system and of how banks form connections when faced with the possibility of contagion and systemic risk. In particular, we highlight how the theoretical literature on interbank networks offers a coherent way of studying interconnections, contagion processes and systemic risk, while emphasizing at the same time the challenges that must be addressed before general results on the link between the structure of the interbank network and financial stability can be established. The survey concludes with a discussion of the policy relevance of interbank network models with a special focus on macroprudential policies and monetary policy.
Immersion freezing is the most relevant heterogeneous ice nucleation mechanism through which ice crystals are formed in mixed-phase clouds. In recent years, an increasing number of laboratory experiments utilizing a variety of instruments have examined immersion freezing activity of atmospherically relevant ice-nucleating particles. However, an intercomparison of these laboratory results is a difficult task because investigators have used different ice nucleation (IN) measurement methods to produce these results. A remaining challenge is to explore the sensitivity and accuracy of these techniques and to understand how the IN results are potentially influenced or biased by experimental parameters associated with these techniques.
Within the framework of INUIT (Ice Nuclei Research Unit), we distributed an illite-rich sample (illite NX) as a representative surrogate for atmospheric mineral dust particles to investigators to perform immersion freezing experiments using different IN measurement methods and to obtain IN data as a function of particle concentration, temperature (T), cooling rate and nucleation time. A total of 17 measurement methods were involved in the data intercomparison. Experiments with seven instruments started with the test sample pre-suspended in water before cooling, while 10 other instruments employed water vapor condensation onto dry-dispersed particles followed by immersion freezing. The resulting comprehensive immersion freezing data set was evaluated using the ice nucleation active surface-site density, ns, to develop a representative ns(T) spectrum that spans a wide temperature range (−37 °C < T < −11 °C) and covers 9 orders of magnitude in ns.
In general, the 17 immersion freezing measurement techniques deviate, within a range of about 8 °C in terms of temperature, by 3 orders of magnitude with respect to ns. In addition, we show evidence that the immersion freezing efficiency expressed in ns of illite NX particles is relatively independent of droplet size, particle mass in suspension, particle size and cooling rate during freezing. A strong temperature dependence and weak time and size dependence of the immersion freezing efficiency of illite-rich clay mineral particles enabled the ns parameterization solely as a function of temperature. We also characterized the ns(T) spectra and identified a section with a steep slope between −20 and −27 °C, where a large fraction of active sites of our test dust may trigger immersion freezing. This slope was followed by a region with a gentler slope at temperatures below −27 °C. While the agreement between different instruments was reasonable below ~ −27 °C, there seemed to be a different trend in the temperature-dependent ice nucleation activity from the suspension and dry-dispersed particle measurements for this mineral dust, in particular at higher temperatures. For instance, the ice nucleation activity expressed in ns was smaller for the average of the wet suspended samples and higher for the average of the dry-dispersed aerosol samples between about −27 and −18 °C. Only instruments making measurements with wet suspended samples were able to measure ice nucleation above −18 °C. A possible explanation for the deviation between −27 and −18 °C is discussed. Multiple exponential distribution fits in both linear and log space for both specific surface area-based ns(T) and geometric surface area-based ns(T) are provided. These new fits, constrained by using identical reference samples, will help to compare IN measurement methods that are not included in the present study and IN data from future IN instruments.
Objectives: The aim of our study was to find out how much energy is applicable in second-generation dual source high-pitch computed tomography (CT) in imaging of the abdomen.
Materials and methods: We examined an upper abdominal phantom using a Somatom Definition Flash CT-Scanner (Siemens, Forchheim, Germany). The study protocol consisted of a scan-series at 100 kV and 120 kV. In each scan series we started with a pitch of 3.2 and reduced it in steps of 0.2, until a pitch of 1.6 was reached. The current was adjusted to the maximum the scanner could achieve. Energy values, image noise, image quality, and radiation exposure were evaluated.
Results: For a pitch of 3.2 the maximum applicable current was 142 mAs at 120 kV and in 100 kV the maximum applicable current was 114 mAs. For conventional abdominal imaging, current levels of 200 to 260 mAs are generally used. To achieve similar current levels, we had to decrease the pitch to 1.8 at 100 kV - at this pitch we could perform our imaging at 204 mAs. At a pitch of 2.2 in 120 kV we could apply a current of 206 mAs.
Conclusion: We conclude our study by stating that if there is a need for a higher current, we have to reduce the pitch. In a high-pitch dual source CT, we always have to remember where our main focus is, so we can adjust the pitch to the energy we need in the area of the body that has to be imaged, to find answers to the clinical question being raised.
