The Caloptera damselflies of Thailand – Distribution maps by provinces (Odonata: Calopterygoidea)
(2017)
Distribution maps at province level accuracy are presented for the 44 species of the superfamily Calopterygoidea (in the old sense, excluding the ’megapodagrionid’ families) recorded in Thailand. Brief species accounts are presented with information on the distribution, phenology and the first discovery of the species. For eleven species the primary type was collected in Thailand. The history of the discovery and documentation of these insects in Thailand is discussed.
Schlechte Leistungen in der Schule können mit der Gesundheit, der Bildungssituation oder sozialen Rahmenbedingungen in Zusammenhang gebracht werden. Die Forschungsarbeit untersucht die Zusammenhänge aus Sicht der jungen Menschen und beschreibt deren Theorien. Aus den Theorien werden Ansätze zur Verbesserung der gesundheitlichen und sozialen Situation sowie der Bildung abgeleitet.
Recent STAR data for the directed flow of protons, antiprotons and charged pions obtained within the beam energy scan program are analyzed within the Parton-Hadron-String-Dynamics (PHSD/HSD) transport models. Both versions of the kinetic approach are used to clarify the role of partonic degrees of freedom. The PHSD results, simulating a partonic phase and its coexistence with a hadronic one, are roughly consistent with the STAR data. Generally, the semi-qualitative agreement between the measured data and model results supports the idea of a crossover type of quark-hadron transition which softens the nuclear EoS but shows no indication of a first-order phase transition. Furthermore, the directed flow of kaons and antikaons is evaluated in the PHSD/HSD approachesfrom √sNN ≈ 3 - 200 GeV which shows a high sensitivity to hadronic potentials in the FAIR/NICA energy regime √sNN ≤ 8 GeV.
Die vorliegende Arbeit, die im Rahmen des zwischen 2011 und 2013 durchgeführten Forschungsprojektes „Förderung von Modellbildungs- und Falsifikationsprozessen im Elementar- und Primarbereich“ entstanden ist, untersuchte auf Grundlage neuerer entwicklungspsychologischer Forschungsbefunde die Möglichkeiten der Förderung im naturwissenschaftlichen Denken bei Kindern im Elementarbereich. Nach der theoretischen Einordnung des Themas und der Darstellung der Forschungslage wurden im empirischen Teil in einem ersten Schritt die Kompetenzen beim Schlussfolgern im Themengebiet Elastizität und Plastizität und beim Wissenschaftsverständnis von Kindern im Alter von vier bis zehn Jahren, eingeteilt in vier Altersstufen, ermittelt; weiterhin wurden die Verknüpfungen beider Kompetenzbereiche untersucht. Als Instrumente dienten ein bereits erprobter Schlussfolgerungstest sowie ein neu entwickelter Test zur Kompetenzmessung von Wissenschaftsverständnis. In der Grundschule wurden die Tests jeweils als Gruppentests und im Kindergarten als Einzeltests durchgeführt. Die Stichprobe um-fasste 142 Kinder, 82 Kinder aus dem Primarbereich und 60 Kinder aus dem Elementarbereich. Beim Schlussfolgern zeigte sich, dass es für Kinder aller einbezogenen Altersgruppen deutlich leichter war, mit Ereignissen umzugehen, die eine Vermutung bestätigen, als mit solchen, die eine Vermutung widerlegen. Zudem stellte sich heraus, dass der Umgang mit Ereignissen, die im Hinblick auf eine Vermutung irrelevant sind, noch schwieriger war. Mit zunehmendem Alter war eine Kompetenzsteigerung erkennbar. Die Analyse der Tests ergab außerdem einen Zusammenhang zwischen Wissenschaftsverständnis und Schlussfolgern sowie einen deutlichen Einfluss exekutiver Funktionen. Im zweiten Schritt wurden zwei ausgewählte Trainingsmaß-nahmen zur Förderung der Koordination von Theorie und Evidenz bei Kindern im Alter von fünf bis sechs Jahren auf ihre Wirksamkeit hin geprüft, und zwar einerseits durch die Unter-stützung mit adaptivem Nachfragen bei fehlerhaften Antworten sowie andererseits durch eine intensive Förderung mit Modellierung. Die an einer Stichprobe von 63 Kindern durchgeführte Trainingsstudie war als Prä-Post-Studie angelegt und umfasste die Überprüfung des erworbenen Wissens. Die Studie ergab, dass die intensiv geförderten Kinder deutlich höhere Kompetenzen erworben hatten als die durch adaptive Unterstützung unterstützten Probanden. Außer-dem wurde ein Transfer-Test im Inhaltsgebiet Schwimmen und Sinken durchgeführt; hierbei wurden beide Trainingsgruppen in gleicher Weise mit adaptivem Nachfragen unterstützt. Dabei zeigten Kinder beider Trainingsgruppen deutlich höhere Kompetenzen beim Schlussfolgern als im Post-Test, dennoch zeigten Kinder mit vorheriger intensiver Förderung durch Modellierung wiederum höhere Kompetenzen im Transfer-Test als Kinder aus der Gruppe mit adaptiver Unterstützung. Abschließend wurde noch ein Argumentationstest durchgeführt, bei dem Kinder aller drei Experimentalgruppen (Trainingsgruppe 1, Trainingsgruppe 2, Kontrollgruppe) über-greifende Kompetenzen beim Schlussfolgern zeigen konnten. In diesem Test zeigte sich zwischen den drei Gruppen kein Unterschied im Hinblick auf angemessene Antworten beim Schlussfolgern.
In April and May 2012 data on Au+Au collisions at beam energies of Ekin = 1.23A GeV were recorded with the High Acceptance Di-Electron Spectrometer, which is located at the GSI Helmholtz Center for Heavy Ion Research in Darmstadt, Germany. At this beam energy all hadrons containing strangeness are produced below their elementary production threshold. The required energy is not available in binary NN collisions but must be provided by the system e.g. through multi-particle interactions or medium effects like a modified in-medium potential (e.g. KN/ΛN potential). Thus, a high sensitivity to these medium effects is expected in the investigated system.
The baryon-dominated systems created in relativistic heavy-ion collisions (HIC) at SIS18 energies reach densities of about 2-3 times ground state density p0 and may be similar to the properties of matter expected in the inner core of neutron stars. It is in particular the behavior of hadrons containing strangeness, i.e. kaons and hyperons, and their potentials in the dense medium which may have severe implications on astrophysical objects and processes. As ab-initio calculations of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) cannot be performed rigorously on the lattice at finite baryo-chemical potentials due to the fermion sign problem, effective descriptions have to be used in order to model properties of dense systems and the involved particles. The only way to access the in-medium potential of strange hadrons above nuclear ground state density p0 is by comparing data from relativistic HIC to such effective microscopic models. Up to now, not much data on neutral kaons and Λ hyperons are available from heavy collision systems close to their NN production threshold. These two electromagnetically uncharged strange hadrons are in particular well suited to study their potential in a dense nucleon-dominated environment as their kinematic spectra are not affected by Coulomb interactions.
We study the sensitivities of the directed flow in Au+Au collisions on the equation of state (EoS), employing the transport theoretical model JAM. The EoS is modified by introducing a new collision term in order to control the pressure of a system by appropriately selecting an azimuthal angle in two-body collisions according to a given EoS. It is shown that this approach is an efficient method to modify the EoS in a transport model. The beam energy dependence of the directed flow of protons is examined with two different EoS, a first-order phase transition and crossover. It is found that our approach yields quite similar results as hydrodynamical predictions on the beam energy dependence of the directed flow; Transport theory predicts a minimum in the excitation function of the slope of proton directed flow and does indeed yield negative directed flow, if the EoS with a first-order phase transition is employed. Our result strongly suggests that the highest sensitivity for the critical point can be seen in the beam energy range of 4.7 ≤√sNN≤11.5GeV.
Ecocriticism started out in the early 1990s in the framework of American literary studies - in the Anglo sense that equates "America" with the "United States." In fact, the new field's first professional organization, the Association for the Study of Literature and the Environment, was founded as an offshoot of academic interest focused on a particular region of the United States, in the backroom of a casino in Reno, Nevada, during the 1992 annual convention of the Western Literature Association. During its first decade, the bulk of ecocritical attention focused on American literature as shaped by Thoreau and British literature as shaped by Wordsworth - a limited but powerful concentration on nature writing in the genres of poetry, nonfiction prose, and the noveI, with particular attention to Native American literature. By the turn of the millennium, in a story that has by now been told repeatedly, interest in the literature-environment nexus had grown and diversified enough that ecocriticism almost literally exploded into a much broader research area encompassing multiple historical periods (from the Middle Ages to postmodernism), genres (from poetry to the graphic novel and narrative film), and regions: the Caribbean, Latin America, East Asia, and Western Europe all emerged as new areas of ecocritical exploration. New encounters between postcolonial theory and ecocritical analysis proved particularly productive for both fields: linking historical exploration and political ecology with literary analysis, the emergent "poco-eco" matrix opened new perspectives on the connections and disjunctures between imperialism, ecological crisis, and conservation. Over the last few years, the concept of "Environmental Humanities" has increasingly co me to accompany and to superimpose itself as an umbrella term on ecocriticism and comparable research areas in neighboring disciplines: environmental history, environmental anthropology, environmental philosophy, cultural geography, and political ecology. Driven by the impulse to connect environmental research across the humanities, to justify humanistic research at institutions often prone to cut first in the humanities, and to bring the knowledge generated through humanistic research into the public sphere, environmentally oriented scholars have used the term "Environmental Humanities" as a shorthand for what they hope will be a new vision of their discipline. As of this writing, the concept remains somewhat more aspirational than real. While ecocritics and environmental philosophers have long collaborated in Australia, and environmental historians and ecocritics sometimes collaborate in the United States, the disciplines that make up the Environmental Humanities have to date largely pursued their own disciplinary trajectories. But there are signs that the tide may have begun to turn. Various universities and research organizations have started programs in the field. The Swedish environmental historian Sverker Sörlin published a brief outline of the new interdisciplinary matrix in the journal 'BioScience' in 2012, and a longer manifesto followed from the editorial collective of the newly established journal 'Environmental Humanities' at Macquarie University in Australia (Rose et al. 2012). Another journal focusing on the environmental humanities began publication in early 2014 from the University of Oregon under the title 'Resilience'.
