Parental Job Loss and Early Child Development in the Great Recession     

Gabriele Mari  Renske Keizer 《Child development》2021,92(5):1698-1716

The study examines whether and why parental job loss may stifle early child development, relying on cohort data from the population of children born in Ireland in 2007–2008 (N = 6,303) and followed around the time of the Great Recession (2008–2013). A novel approach to mediation analysis is deployed, testing expectations from models of family investment and family stress. Parental job loss exacerbates problem behavior at ages 3 and 5 (.05–.08 SDs), via the channels of parental income and maternal negative parenting. By depressing parental income, job loss also hampers children’s verbal ability at age 3 (.03 SDs). This is tied to reduced affordability of formal childcare, highlighting a policy lever that might tame the intergenerational toll of job loss.  相似文献

Gleichstellung von Frauen und Männern an vollrechtsfähigen Universitäten     

Gabriele Kucsko-Stadlmayer 《Zeitschrift für Hochschulrecht, Hochschulmanagement und Hochschulpolitik: zfhr》2007,6(1):8-17

Trotz hoher Studentinnen- und Absolventinnenzahlen in den meisten Studienrichtungen ist der Anteil der Frauen an akademischen Spitzenpositionen noch immer gering. Die Gründe für dieses Missverhältnis liegen in einer Reihe spezifischer Schwierigkeiten, mit denen Frauen bei universitären Laufbahnen konfrontiert sind. Die Politik der Europäischen Union verfolgt seit 1999 das explizite Ziel, Frauen stärker in der universitären und außeruniversitären Forschung zu verankern. Mit dem Vertrag von Amsterdam wurde auch der gemeinschaftsrechtliche Rahmen neu gestaltet. Das UG 2002 hat "Frauenförderung" und "Gleichstellung von Frauen und Männern" zur Aufgabe der Universitäten und damit zu einem zentralen Teil ihres Bildungsauftrags erklärt. Die Europäische Strategie des "Gender Mainstreaming" wurde so in eine innerstaatliche, alle Universitätsorgane bindende Verpflichtung umgesetzt. Der Beitrag behandelt die rechtlichen Möglichkeiten der vollrechtsfähigen Universitäten zur Frauenförderung und bewertet Reichweite und Wirksamkeit der neuen Rechtslage.  相似文献   

Characteristic behaviour orientations of young scientists: A comparison between young mathematicians/physicists and other natural scientists     

Gabriele Gross  Barbara Haenschke  Rainer Tenzler 《Higher Education》1988,17(4):391-396

Methods of sociological enquiry using data on qualifications, performance indicators, conditions for research and social background were used to investigate aspects of behaviour in young natural scientists relevant to research careers. It was shown that mathematicians and physicists were essentially more intrinsically motivated than the other cadres in the fields of natural sciences and that this manifested itself in a high intensity of work and a greater involvement in activities.  相似文献   

Transport and separation of micron sized particles at isotachophoretic transition zones     

Gabriele Goet  Tobias Baier    Steffen Hardt 《Biomicrofluidics》2011,5(1)

Conventionally, isotachophoresis (ITP) is used for separation of ionic samples according to their electrophoretic mobilities. We demonstrate that the scope of ITP applications may be extended toward particle concentration and separation. Owing to the distributions of electrolyte concentration and electric field inside a transition zone between two electrolytes, a number of different forces act on a small particle. As far as possible, we provide estimates for the order of magnitude of these forces and analyze their scaling with the particle size and the electric-field strength. Furthermore, we experimentally demonstrate that polymer beads of 5 μm diameter dispersed in a high mobility “leading” electrolyte are picked up and carried along by an ITP transition zone which is formed with a low mobility “trailing” electrolyte. By studying the particle positions and trajectories, we show that impurities in the electrolytes play a significant role in the experiments. Additionally, it is experimentally shown that different types of beads can be separated at an ITP transition zone. In particular, beads of 1 μm diameter are not carried along with the transition zone, in contrast to the 5 μm beads. The presented technique thus adds to the portfolio of electrokinetic transport, concentration, and separation methods in microfluidics.  相似文献

Classroom Climate,Cardiac Vagal Tone,and Inhibitory Control: Links to Focused Attention in First Graders          下载免费PDF全文

Sara Scrimin  Gabriele Osler  Ughetta Moscardino  Lucia Mason 《Mind, Brain, and Education》2018,12(1):61-70

The present study aimed to investigate the role of classroom climate and self‐regulation in terms of cardiac vagal tone and inhibitory control in primary school students' focused attention. A combination of direct and indirect measures was used to assess classroom climate, sustained and selective attention, and inattention behaviors among 62 first graders. We also registered students' cardiac vagal tone at rest and their levels of inhibitory control in a reaction time task. A single underlying factor combining sustained and selective attention as well as (the lack of) inattention behaviors accounted for students' focused attention. A regression analysis revealed that classroom climate, cardiac vagal tone, and inhibitory control interacted to explain first graders' focused attention. In classrooms with a negative climate, high levels of inhibitory control attenuated the negative effect of low cardiac vagal tone on students' ability to remain focused during classroom activities. Implications for theory and practice are discussed.  相似文献   

Sorting on GPUs for large scale datasets: A thorough comparison     

Gabriele Capannini  Fabrizio SilvestriRanieri Baraglia 《Information processing & management》2012

Although sort has been extensively studied in many research works, it still remains a challenge in particular if we consider the implications of novel processor technologies such as manycores (i.e. GPUs, Cell/BE, multicore, etc.). In this paper, we compare different algorithms for sorting integers on stream multiprocessors and we discuss their viability on large datasets (such as those managed by search engines). In order to fully exploit the potentiality of the underlying architecture, we designed an optimized version of sorting network in the K-model, a novel computational model designed to consider all the important features of many-core architectures. According to K-model, our bitonic sorting network mapping improves the three main aspects of many-core architectures, i.e. the processors exploitation, and the on-chip/off-chip memory bandwidth utilization. Furthermore we are able to attain a space complexity of Θ(1). We experimentally compare our solution with state-of-the-art ones (namely, Quicksort and Radixsort) on GPUs. We also compute the complexity in the K-model for such algorithms. The conducted evaluation highlight that our bitonic sorting network is faster than Quicksort and slightly slower than radix, yet being an in-place solution it consumes less memory than both algorithms.  相似文献   

Effective self-regulation of goal attainment     

Gabriele  Gaby  Peter M.   《International Journal of Educational Research》2000,33(7-8)

Self-regulatory strategies of goal setting and goal striving are analyzed in three experiments. Experiment 1 uses fantasy realization theory (Oettingen, in: J. Brandstätter, R.M. Lerner (Eds.), Action and Self Development: Theory and Research through the Life Span, Sage Publications Inc, Thousand Oaks, CA, 1999, pp. 315–342) to analyze the self-regulatory processes of turning free fantasies about a desired future into binding goals. School children 8–12 years of age who had to mentally elaborate a desired academic future as well as present reality standing in its way, formed stronger goal commitments than participants solely indulging in the desired future or merely dwelling on present reality (Experiment 1). Effective implementation of set goals is addressed in the second and third experiments (Gollwitzer, Am. Psychol. 54 (1999) 493–503). Adolescents who had to furnish a set educational goal with relevant implementation intentions (specifying where, when, and how they would start goal pursuit) were comparatively more successful in meeting the goal (Experiment 2). Linking anticipated situations with goal-directed behaviors (i.e., if–then plans) rather than the mere thinking about good opportunities to act makes implementation intentions facilitate action initiation (Experiment 3).  相似文献   

Von der Lehrerausbildung in den Beruf – Fachbezogenes Wissen als Voraussetzung für Wahrnehmung,Interpretation und Handeln im Unterricht

The transition from teacher training into the teaching profession is seen to be key in the biography of a teacher. Yet there is a lack of enquiry into the development of the content knowledge (CK) and pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) held by teachers at the end of their education, and into the significance of this knowledge for situational and behavioural cognition. On the basis of data from the international comparative study TEDS-M 2008 and the Germany-based 2012 follow-up, this contribution investigates the knowledge and skills development of teachers during the transition from teacher training to the teaching profession in a four-year longitudinal study with n = 171 mathematics teachers. Three test formats (paper-and-pencil, video-vignettes and speed tests) are used to examine various indicators for teacher expertise. In addition to the analysis of changes in mathematical CK and PCK levels, path analysis is used to determine the extent to which this knowledge functions as a predictor for the perception and interpretation of classroom situations, the decision-making in these situations, and the quick identification of student mistakes. The results show only small changes in the group mean (for MCK there is a small loss, whereas MPCK remains constant), but high fluctuation (i. e. weak correlation) in the MPCK ranking between the two measurement occasions, pointing to differential learning effects gained from teaching practice. There are also significant differences in predictability: MCK is important for the speed indicators of teacher expertise; MCK and MPCK for the perception and interpretation of situations, and for the generation of action strategies. These findings can on the one hand help to facilitate the evaluation of beginning teachers’ need for support and, on the other hand, they indicate the necessity for the early integration of practice-based elements into teacher training programmes with the aim of developing PCK and related skills.  相似文献
