Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2021 in the subject Cultural Studies - East European Studies, grade: 1,3, Free University of Berlin, language: English, abstract: This article seeks to uncover whether and in what way democratic countries engage into autocracy promotion based on the example of US-Yugoslav relations during the famous Tito-Stalin split of 1948 and in association the 'Informbiro period'. In particular, it will try to prove that even democracies will support authoritarian regimes and consequently promote autocracy, if it is in their national interest as it was in the case of the U.S. during the Eastern Bloc crisis.After Yugoslavia was excluded from the Cominform, a supranational alliance of Marxist-Leninist communist parties in Europe, the United States aided the South Slavic country politically, economically and militarily, because Tito, at that time, became an important international factor in the process of undermining the Soviet Union. Even though Yugoslavia was and remained to be a communist country after being excluded from the Soviet Union, and accordingly was an ideological adversary of the liberal as well as democratic United States, this did not discourage the great power to open its markets and use its international impact to help a former enemy in need. It turned a blind eye on the political repressions which were conducted through the incarceration of political opponents and alleged ¿Stalinists¿ on the Goli Otok and Sveti Grgur islands, additionally helping the autocratic leader of the Yugoslav Communist Party ¿ Marshal Josip Broz Tito ¿ to remain in power.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 24 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2023 in the subject Politics - Political Theory and the History of Ideas Journal, grade: 35.0/40, Rajiv Gandhi University, language: English, abstract: This paper gives an analysis of Platös 'Republic' as a law student. It is the best explanation of ideas, of thoughts and of political concepts related to justice, liberty, war, freedom and so on, that are needed to understand political environment better. The researcher has focused on reproduction and analysis of these ideas as well as in various research papers, articles and journals. Due to paucity of time, in-depth study of every topic wasn¿t possible. The researcher selected three aspects of great importance and relevance- Conception of State, Division of State and Justice. After analysis of these aspects in detail, the researcher has tried to compare Plato to the modern political beliefs. Law is intricately connected to Political Science, both shape each other. Not all ideas presented can be applied to present day society, however they can be used to analyze the development of society¿s soul. The research question the researcher wishes to answer is- What significance does Platös Republic hold in the context of modern political understanding 20 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Essay from the year 2023 in the subject Communications - Miscellaneous, grade: 1,0, University of Lisbon, language: English, abstract: A metaverse makes sacred sites virtually accessible to digital pilgrims and offers space for individual and communal faith practices such as worship, prayer, baptisms, funerals, weddings, confessions and other religious rituals. Since 2015, it has been possible within 'Experience Makkah' , for example, to visit the holy Mecca and, among other things, insert a prayer note into a crack in the Western Wall or participate in the Holy Fire ceremony. 'Buddha-Bot' , a Buddhist chatbot, you can ask for advice in the Japanese Teraverse. Here, however, a fundamental media-scientific and theological question becomes apparent: How valid are religious acts in Metaverse I will mainly refer to Catholic Christianity, as I have the most contact with it and a consideration of all religions would go beyond the scope of this work. In October 2021, one of the world's largest social media corporations changed its company name from Facebook to Meta. The background to this is the construction of a so-called metaverse: A new 3D digital internet world where we can work, meet friends, do other everyday things or even attend events and concerts. All from the comfort of our own sofa in the physical world. In the same year, Fortnite developer Epic Games also announced they would invest a billion dollars in a Metaverse project, and Microsoft is also working on an 'enterprise meta'. Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos is also fascinated by new digital 3D worlds. The metaverse is the 'next big thing', the 'next level of the internet'. A metaverse (or cyberspace) today generally describes a global, virtual reality in which people can move and interact as (non-materialised) avatars within a (meta-)3D online space. The terms metaverse and also avatar were both first mentioned and significantly coined in the 1984 novel 'Snow Crash' by Neal Stephenson. In the present, one reads again and again about 'God has entered the metaverse' , 'Metaverse Church is a Massive Hit During the Pandemic' or 'Christians, Beware of the Metaverse'.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 16 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2019 in the subject Communications - Movies and Television, grade: 1,7, Justus-Liebig-University Giessen (Anglistik), course: Introduction to the Study of Narrative, language: English, abstract: This paper focuses on the American history of the last century and its historiography. I will first investigate the theoretical background of historiography and then connect it with the concept of unreliable narration. I will then answer the question of whether historiography and unreliable narration correlate or influence each other while examining what the events of the past have demonstrated so far in this regard. In the practical section, I will establish a story and discourse analysis by focusing on the historiography presented in the movie Forrest Gump. I will choose particular scenes and compare them with Americäs real historical events. After this, I will concentrate on the concept of unreliability in the movie. The central question is whether Forrest Gump is an unreliable narrator and why the audience might see him as such. The film¿s framing, use of narrative techniques and cinematography are central as well and might contribute to answering this question. I will describe how the scenes are produced and to what extend this production influences the spectator. In a final step, I will summarise the results and place them in a sociocultural context.'My momma always said, life was like a box of chocolates; you never know what yoüre gonna get. (Forrest Gump 1994: 00:03:37-00:03:46)'This famous sentence, articulated by Forrest Gump¿s mother, sets the theme for the entire movie. While watching the film, the audience never knows what comes next in Forrest¿s life, such as what he will achieve or who he will meet. The film is an ongoing surprise for the spectator.The film Forrest Gump is a 1994 American comedy-drama directed by Robert Zemeckis and written by Eric Roth. The story is based on the 1986 novel by Winston Groom and stars, amongst others, Tom Hanks, Robin Wright and Gary Sinise. The good-natured Forrest Gump, who is slightly handicapped and has an IQ of only 75, lives through the second half of the 20th century and experiences first-hand many major moments in American history. He is accompanied by his great love from his youth, Jenny, whom he always loses sight of because their lives develop separately from each other. However, they finally find each other and get married, and Jenny gives birth to their son, who is also called Forrest. 20 pp. Englisch.

Rajaratnam School of International Studies (RSIS)), course: Terrorism, Intelligence, and Homeland Security, language: English, abstract: Under the assumption that radicalized RFTF¿s had the assignment, skillset, and intention to seek opportunities to recruit and carry out terrorist attacks for the IS and, therefore, would impose a significant threat to national security, there should be a strategy to cope with this problem. This paper wants to analyse the approach to this issue in Germany, especially since they don't seem to have a comprehensive strategy to this day. Between 2011 and 2015, as a result of the violent conflict in Syria/ Iraq, U.S. and German intelligence reports estimated volunteers traveling to the conflict zone up to 36.500 stemming from 100 countries (thereof 960 Muslim men/ women from Germany = DEU). Their aim was to support the Islamic State (IS) and to take part in its war-fighting/ terrorist attack efforts. By 2019, 30% of the German fighters have returned, 103 were sentenced/ detained including ¿at least 80¿ with ¿military training¿ of whom 34 will be released in 2023. In anticipation of a future inbound flow of these combatants back to their homeland, the U.N. Security Council resolution 2178 called in 2014 all ¿Member States¿ to develop/ implement ¿rehabilitation and reintegration strategies for returning foreign terrorist fighters¿ (RFTF).Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Academic Paper from the year 2015 in the subject Communications - Mass Media, , course: Media/Journalism, language: English, abstract: The omnipotence of mass media was already felt in the beginning of the twentieth century even though the main media present were only newspapers, magazines and radio. Of course, media attained the status of a religion only with the arrival of television ¿ family altars were replaced with the ¿idiot box¿; television,¿the big medium¿, by the end of the twentieth century became the surrogate parent, teacher and god. And then the omnipresence of the media was felt with the launching ofthe internet enabling instant social networking. It should be noted here that in the age of media convergence information technology has to be considered integral to media operations. FB, Twitter, Whatsapp, Pintrest, Instagram ¿ would be rendered ineffective without the internet. FB has captured the imagination of more than 1.5 billion people, one hundred million and growing in India alone. Twitter and Whatsapp are catching up. In the early 21 century the world moved beyond the ¿global village¿ ending up as a ¿global living room¿. No wonder Alexander Bard, the prophet who calls for triumph of the ¿netocracy¿ in his latest book ¿Syntheism ¿ Creating God in the Internet Age¿, speaks of the internet as the new Holy Spirit. Indeed with the New Media a new culture, religion, sanctuary idols and priesthood are emerging. 20 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Academic Paper from the year 2021 in the subject Cultural Studies - East European Studies, grade: 1,7, Free University of Berlin (Osteuropa Institut), course: Regimes of Violence in Post-Socialist Countries, language: English, abstract: The Yugoslav political prison named ¿Goli Otok¿, located on a barren and uninhabited island in the Adria, was one of the worst detention centres in the 20st century, but it has gone rather unnoticed by contemporary scholars. This text aims to unravel the story about the prison on a small island, situated between the Croatian vacation paradises Krk and Rab, which served as the private concentration camp of the Yugoslav Communist Party ¿ or more precisely: of Marshall Tito. It seeks to find solid answers to the question why this top-secret prison was formed in the first place and what purpose it served for the communist elite at the time. Yugoslaviäs ¿Barren Island¿ internment camp was established back in 1949, merely a year after the famous split from the Soviet Union, and it is therefore usually said that this political prison was mainly for the so-called ¿Stalinists¿. Although this is somewhat true, there were also other political enemies who were imprisoned on Goli Otok, mostly after 1955 and the reconciliation between Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union when basically all opponents of the regime were brought to the infamous island. Thus, this essay examines the need for political repression in former Yugoslavia, considering the historical background of the time and consequently addressing the question of the detainees on the Yugoslav Barren Island in the period between 1949-1989, when the Iron Curtain began to crumble across Eastern Europe and the detention centre was abandoned. 24 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2023 in the subject Computer Science - Applied, grade: 1,0, , language: English, abstract: In this research study, the researcher included robotics in an Advanced Physics class in the 10th grade in order to determine the impact of innovative teaching approaches, such as interactive learning and mini-competitions. The goal was to find out whether learning physics via an exciting new subject such as robotics would improve the overall academic performance of the students in science classes.Robotics Education provides the opportunity for students to bring their individual interests, perspectives and areas of expertise together in order to work collaboratively in a real-world science. In order to increase students¿ engagement in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields, it is important that they increase their time working with concrete STEM tasks in collaborative groups. Many researchers have been investigating the use of robotics to support education. Several studies have shown that robots can help students develop problem-solving abilities and learn computer programming, mathematics and science. 24 pp. Englisch.

Whereas some were not able to continue with there work, most of them managed to continue with their research and used their resources to support the global fight against the pandemic. To show in which way they have influenced the handling of the pandemic and which policy recommendations they did provide to improve pandemic preparedness is the key purpose of this paper.Like never before, think tanks had to measure up to their self-claim to provide independent, high-quality research and practical policy recommendations. At the same time, they were confronted with challenges many institutions and companies that used to rely on analogue work faced during the pandemic, among others increased stress and worries of their staff followed by decreasing productivity. For think tanks this problem was accompanied by a serious lack of new research funding as a study from On Think Tanks (OTT) about the COVID-19 impacts on the sector found.However, the same study showed that the respondents (from whom nearly 85 % worked either for a think tank or a policy research programme or department) were relatively optimistic regarding the pandemic effects on their research institutions. Only 16,4 % reported serious concern about the future of their institution whereas 44 % expected to be challenged but able to handle the situation well. 31 % did not even expect too many disrupting changes because their institutes had already established remote work before (idem. 6). Some answers even had a positive angle, as the study participants expected a modernisation towards digitalization, an expansion of their potential audience due to the establishment of webinars, and the development of new decentralized, agile work methods.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 24 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Essay from the year 2023 in the subject Geography / Earth Science - Demographics, Urban Management, Planning, grade: 1,3, University of Osnabrück (Institut für Geographie), course: Seminar: Water Risk and source of life- an inter- and transdisciplinary perspective, language: English, abstract: As cities around the globe continue to grow and urbanize, the need for effective adaptation measures to address challenges becomes increasingly urgent. This essay attempts to identify the known vulnerabilities of urban environments and then aims to examine the various opportunities for adaptation in order to ensure water security in the face of global challenges of the 21st century and especially water related extreme weather events. Through a literature review, this paper aims to explore a concise outlook on strategies cities can employ in order to build resilience and complete a transition to urban areas fit for the future. Global challenges of the 21st century can cause a significant threat to water security in urban areas in the future. Rising temperatures, increased precipitation, and more frequent extreme weather events are transforming the availability and distribution of water resources, leading to increased pressure on water systems and infrastructure. Furthermore, the reduction of permeable green space and loss of floodable urban spaces will increase the vulnerability of urban environments. Cities are already economic engines of entire regions. About 600 urban regions on earth with 20% of the world¿s population contribute 60% of the GWP (gross world product). Moreover, By the year 2050, 70 % of the world¿s population will be living in cities and urban areas. Therefore, the demand for water will increase significantly, as well as the number of water stressed areas. Despite the fact that the number of people who have no access to reliable water resources will grow significantly, some areas will be lacking access to any water sources at all or dealing with water pollution issues.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Scientific Study from the year 2023 in the subject Physics - Acoustics, , language: English, abstract: The acoustic parameters of various types of ¿singing wine glasses¿ have been investigated after a finger-excitation (sliding the finger on the rim of the wine glass) or a hit-excitation (short hit with a metal stick against the bowl of the wine glass). After a hit-excitation, the wine glasses show typical characteristics of a multiphonic sounds, whereas a finger-excitation generates a monophonic sound known from monophonic instruments. It could be confirmed that filling water in the bowl will lower the frequency of the base-tone and the respective harmonics as described previously, but it could also be demonstrated that liquid in the bowl will change the intensity as well as the timbre of the generated sound significantly, which should be considered by musicians using glass harps. Under certain circumstances of a finger-excitation, the resulting sound shows in parallel features of a monophonic sound (base-tone and related harmonics) and features of a multiphonic sound (frequencies with no harmonic relationships plus complex tones). As the ¿construction¿ of a wine glass is by far less complex than a wood wind instrument, it might be a good object to investigate the principle mechanism of the production of complex tones within multiphonic sounds generated by ¿tube-like¿ instruments as wood winds. 20 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Academic Paper from the year 2023 in the subject Mathematics - Analysis, grade: 2.00, , language: English, abstract: A method is devised in which the prime number counting function, pi(k) is viewed as having the properties of a staircase. The terminology appropriate to a staircase is used to describe the parts of the distribution amongst the integers. Strings of limited extent of consecutive numbers which may contain prime numbers are generated from an iterative equation which contains Gauss' prime number counting function. In honour of Gauss we call these strings of numbers, Gauss strings. , and they are used in the construction of the staircase. Further, we show that the prime number counting function may be represented in number space by an infinite set of connected trapezia, the individual areas of which are numerically equal to the gap between the primes that are situated on two of the borders of any given trapezium. 20 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject History of Europe - Ages of World Wars, grade: 1,0, University of Göttingen, language: English, abstract: This paper focuses on the poetry written about the First World War. It examines the ways, in which the theme of war is presented in poems and how the various battlefields are presented. The paper will also look at the image of soldiers as perceived in the early years of the war and how it changed as the World War progressed. Further, the text highlights the view of twenty-first century poets on post-war memory poems. The selection of poetry in this paper stresses the gap between the perception of the war at the home front and the actual experience on the frontline. Poetry played a significant role in shaping the view of the war at the home front. Poetry fostered the enthusiasm for war more than pamphlets and articles at the time. Newspapers were filled with patriotic verse celebrating war struggle and encouraging volunteers to join the troops. This paper will analyse the heterogeneity of the stance towards of the war and the contrastive depiction of action taken by nationalist and pacifist poets of the time. To achieve this, the research is divided into three parts. The first one discusses the nationalistic and propagandist narrative represented in the celebrated poems of the time. The second part analyzes the pacifist view taken up by the trench poets at the frontline and the last segment focuses on the post-war poems written long after the war. 24 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2022 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Pedagogy, Literature Studies, grade: 1,3, University of Flensburg (Institut für Sprache, Literatur und Medien), course: TEFL in Primary School: Playful English Teaching, language: English, abstract: The aim of this paper is to raise awareness of the importance of integrating games in the primary EFL classroom. The approach to foreign language teaching has shifted in the sense that it is now not only a possibility but rather a requirement that foreign language teaching and learning should be enjoyable. A 'teaching technique that is characterized by the elements of fun and play is the use of games'. Hence, this paper argues for the implementation of games as a teaching technique in the primary EFL classroom and emphasizes the benefits of doing so regarding the positive impact it has on the language learning process.Although the pedagogical value of games in the teaching of English as a foreign language (EFL) is generally acknowledged, the usage of games in primary EFL education is 'less documented and even less practiced [.] [since] [r]esearch on foreign language teaching and learning often focuses on older learners'. The inclusion of games in children¿s education has been studied but rarely with the focus on foreign language learning. Thus, there is still a lot of research to do when it comes to teaching English as a foreign language playfully to primary school students.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 16 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2021 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 2,0, University of Flensburg, language: English, abstract: This project work will discuss the thesis statement that both protagonists change their view on otherness throughout the story due to individual experience; however, though there are similarities, one protagonist seems to completely accept otherness whereas the other only attempts to accept it. Both develop at least sexual feelings for another species, leading to a broader understanding of diversity. Through the stories social criticism, including racism and homophobia, is addressed. Numerous science fiction novels discuss the idea of two or more different species that experience encounters with each other. Through this separation of ordinariness and otherness, humans establish boundaries in their minds. To accept otherness and regard other groups as equal, those boundaries must be crossed. In Le Guin's novel The Left Hand of Darkness, the protagonist Genly Ai is sent to the planet Gethen to convince the inhabitants of the planet to join the trade network Ekumen. Genly is human whereas the Gethenians are characterised as aliens. The main character of Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep is human as well, and encounters androids almost indistinguishable to humans. The novel is set on earth though most humans had to leave the planet due to the devastation of war. Therefore, both novels involve the encounter of two diverse groups and consequently consider otherness in science fiction. 24 pp. Englisch.

Since many efforts have been made to establish equal opportunities for both genders several studies examined whether these changes are also reflected in their language. Most of them concentrate on informal conversations in collegial settings and come to the conclusion that the differences are rather diminishing.This study will focus on examining gender differences in language using a sequence of a controversial discussion which was published as a YouTube video. It will give a brief review of the research within this area and then move on to analysing the recording. Special focus will be put on specific linguistic items which have been carried out in previous studies of this field.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 24 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2022 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 2,0, University of Freiburg (English Department), language: English, abstract: Emotional loneliness and social isolation are concepts which are generally perceived as something negative. However, there are certain situations in life where one seeks to be alone and where isolation can even help with the process of self-discovery. Therefore, these concepts are also recurring themes in arts and literature. This paper will analyze how the isolation theme is depicted in disability literature. It will first give a brief overview of the research within this area and shortly examine the relationship between loneliness and disability. It will then move on to analyze how the two main characters Victor Frankenstein and the creature from Mary Shelley¿s ¿Frankenstein¿ as well as Christopher, the protagonist of Mark Haddon¿s ¿The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time¿, experience isolation. Special focus will be put on the similarities and differences between the individual character¿s experience and on the question whether or not those experiences correlate with the results of real-life studies. 20 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2023 in the subject Biology - Neurobiology, , language: English, abstract: Serum uric acid is a promptly affirmed neuroprotective agent. Its concentration levels in Parkinson¿s disease (PD) were found to be an efficient diagnostic biomolecule. Although it is able to minimize PD associated disability and symptoms worsening by preventing the formation of reactive oxygen species, Lewy bodies, abnormal proteins and intracellular stress. Bowel bladder, swallowing, speech, memory and sleep disorders are some of the non-motor symptoms of Parkinson¿s disease. Its motor symptoms include tremors, muscular rigidity, cramps, gait and body balance disturbances. Geriatric studies consider Parkinson as second most worldwide prevailing disorder associated with body shaking syndrome accompanied by dopamine deficits, generation and accumulation of brain damaging proteins, ROS and other metabolites. Uric acid is a devouerer of free oxygen, hydroxyl radicals and superoxide dimutase additionally it chelates the Ferric molecules to diminish its negative effects in PD brain. Measurement of serum uric acid is a potent biomarker for several brain degenerating diseases, particularly Parkinsonism, whilst its increased serum extent regulates the brain protective mechanism especially by reducing harmful oxidation. 16 pp. Englisch.

It then addresses an increase in trade costs and a decrease in productivity, as well as the impact travel restrictions had on the economy. The next part focusses on importing and exporting countries and lists the effects the pandemic and its restrictions had on both groups, respectively. In the final part, the paper elaborates on other ways in which COVID-19 has had an impact on the world economy, such as the loss of jobs because of business closures, therefore increased poverty and, as a consequence thereof, reduced purchasing power in the population.The coronavirus causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The World Health Organization (WHO) recognized the pandemic on 11 March 2020. According to the WHO website, as of 16 May 2020, more than 300,000 deaths from COVID-19 have been reported worldwide. To slow the spread of the coronavirus, many countries have imposed some form of restriction on people and businesses. Several countries have declared citywide or nationwide lockdowns. Also, many countries have imposed an entry ban on foreigners. Such restrictions have seriously harmed the world economy. For example, Chinäs economy shrank by 6.8% in the first quarter of 2020. This decrease is the first contraction since 1992, when China began releasing its GDP data. According to the World Economic Outlook, April 2020 by the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the global economy is projected to sharply contract by ¿3% in 2020.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 24 pp. Englisch.

This knowledge is then illustrated by means of a few case studies. Due to the limited framework of this assignment, the action method is not discussed, although this certainly represents another interesting trend. First, the second chapter of the assignment explains basic terms and briefly introduces the fixed-price method, which was often used in the past, and the current standard method, bookbuilding. In the third chapter of this paper, the process, procedure, motivation, and the distribution of the two selected procedures will be discussed, as well as their advantages and disadvantages. This is followed by two case studies that illustrate the knowledge gained in the previous chapter. Finally, the knowledge gained is summarized and an outlook on the possible future development is given. 20 pp. Englisch.

In a traditional open fire, three stones are placed in a triangular pattern on the ground, with the cooking pots resting on the stones directly above the fire. The open flame and lack of chimney or combustion chamber make this cooking fire inherently energy-inefficient. Rural women/ girls are consuming their time, energy their efforts in gathering fire wood from forest which is far from their home. As a result of this they don¿t have time for education, if they are student they don¿t have time for studying since they are responsible for role of cooking food in the household. When we compare boys with girl in the same house, girls role in household is much more tedious than the boy. Women/girls are exposed to sexual assault, rape, and kidnaps when they are going to collect firewood in the forest by men. As a result of this they are morally, physically and Psychologically harmed and their well-being will be affected.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 44 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Academic Paper from the year 2023 in the subject Didactics - Physics, grade: 1,0, , language: English, abstract: The main objective of this research study is to explain the experiences and challenges encountered by 25 secondary science teachers with the implementation of the Spiral Progression Approach in Teaching (SPAT). Thematic Analysis was used to analyze the information given by the respondents, which was gathered through informal interviews and focal group discussions. Spiral progression is an approach used to teach science and mathematics. It focuses on the understanding that human cognition evolved in a step-by-step process of learning, which relied on environmental interaction and experience to form intuition and knowledge. Under SPAT, students are exposed to authentic assessment instead of traditional classroom assessment, meaning that the tasks they perform relate to the real world and have a practical value. These tasks may include project based learning, performance task, portfolios, collaborative works and online examinations. The data gathered in the study serves as base line data for the constructive recommendation in accord with the response of the key informants. This research may be useful to other subject areas that also uses spiral progression in teaching. 36 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Bachelor Thesis from the year 2022 in the subject Psychology - Work, Business, Organisation, grade: 1.9, ( European University of Applied Sciences Hamburg ), language: English, abstract: The objective of this thesis is to examine the correlation between Foreign Language Anxiety (FLA) in the context of using business English at work and job satisfaction amongst non-native speakers of English, particularly in view of their professional self-actualization.In this study, FLA was measured by using the FLA-FS scale developed by Gargalianou et al. (2016). Job satisfaction was measured on the scale developed by Fischer & Lück (1972). Sociodemographic data was taken into consideration as well. The results reveal a low negative correlation between FLA and job satisfaction (r = -.39) and a low negative correlation between FLA and self-actualization in the workplace (r = -.40), which means the higher the anxiety scores on the FLA scale, the lower the job satisfaction and professional self-actualization. Moreover, there is a strong positive correlation between FLA and the individual proficiency level of English (r = .70), which means that FLA affects mainly, but not solely, beginners of English.Given the results and the impact of FLA on the psychological and physical well-being of employees, multinational organizations which have adopted business English as lingua franca must be able to detect behavioral and non-behavioral signs of FLA and implement measures to combat the negative effects on their workforce. As there have been no studies on this topic yet conducted, this thesis strives to close the gap in research.Further large-scale research on the correlation of FLA and job satisfaction would be necessary to determine in-depth findings and pull significant business-psychological insights. 44 pp. Englisch.
