Does anomie help to explain social participation in very old age? A mediation analysis
Social participation in old age is beneficial for the individual and the community. However, very old adults are confronted with specific challenges regarding their resources, values, and social networks. In a rapidly changing society, very old adults may experience conflicts resulting in individual experiences of anomie which we understand as feelings of disorientation. They can have negative effects on their social participation. Using data fro…
Resolving symmetry without constraining alternatives
In cases where an assertion could in principle lead to several, mutually incompatible quantity implicatures, some of these implicatures seem systematically unavailable. Katzir (2007) and Fox & Katzir (2011) aim to solve this so-called `symmetry problem’ by preventing implicatures that are based on the exclusion of alternatives that are syntactically more complex than the assertion itself. We argue that this complexity filter on alternatives falls…

From cigarettes to symptoms
Our findings support an association between smoking and depression. Robust dose-response relationships were found, with higher cigarette consumption associated with more severe depressive symptoms, and longer time since cessation linked to lower depression levels. These results highlight smoking as a meaningful and modifiable contributor to current and lifetime depression, suggesting that quitting smoking or reducing cigarette consumption may ben…
The Idiom Processing Advantage is Explained By Surprisal
It has been repeatedly found that idioms are processed faster than syntactically matched literal phrases, in both comprehension and production. This has led to debate about whether idioms are accessed as chunks or built compositionally, with different studies attempting to measure the effect of compositionality on processing, with differing conclusions. This paper looks at idiom processing through the lens of information update, in particular sur…
Does Marriage Benefit Maternal Mental Health? New Evidence from Nairobi, Kenya
It has long been known that marriage is a critical correlate of mental health, primarily through relationship quality and support from partner. However, in contexts where couples struggle to maintain a healthy relationship and marriage is an increasingly protracted process, the benefits of marriage for women's mental health are far from assured. In this analysis, we draw on survey and qualitative data from a longitudinal study in two low-income c…
Assessment of Visual Attention in Teams with or without Dedicated Team Leaders
In our pilot study using low-cost technology, we could not demonstrate the difference in VA with the presence of a team leader
Age-specific risk factors of depression among the oldest-old - evidence from the multicenter AgeCoDe-AgeQualiDe study
Depressive symptoms in latest life are common and the incidence increases with increasing age. Modifiable and differing risk factors across the highest age groups open up the possibility of specifically tailored prevention concepts

How the position of at least affects its interpretation
The Focus-particle at least is known to be ambiguous between two interpretations: an epistemic one conveying uncertainty/ignorance, and a concessive/evaluative one that conveys a desirability ranking. Prior literature has argued that the position of at least determines what interpretation is available: at least is concessive/evaluative adsententially and epistemic adnominally. We present three experiments that investigate how three properties whi…
Enhancing Handwriting Performance of Children with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) Using Computerized Visual Feedback
Recent studies have analyzed the writing metrics of children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD) using computerized systems. To date, the use of computerized visual feedback to improve handwriting has not been investigated. This study aimed to examine the effects of computerized visual feedback on handwriting performance in time, spatial orientation, and pressure indices for children with DCD. Twenty-seven children aged 7 to 12 years w…

Recommendations of the Netzwerk Kindersimulation for the Implementation of Simulation-Based Pediatric Team Trainings
Our work constitutes comprehensive up-to-date guidelines for simulation-based team trainings and debriefings. High-quality simulation training provides standardized learning conditions for trainees. These guidelines will have a sustainable impact on standardized high-quality simulation-based education
Mapping Grip Force Characteristics in the Measurement of Stress in Driving
Reducing drivers' stress can potentially increase road safety. However, state-of-the-art physiological stress indices are intrusive and limited by long time lags. Grip force is an innovative index of stress that is transparent to the user and, according to our previous findings, requires a two- to five-second time window. The aim of this study was to map the various parameters affecting the relationship between grip force and stress during drivin…
The effect of depressive symptoms on quality of life and its different facets in the oldest age population
This work provides comprehensive longitudinal results on the relationship between depressive symptoms and QoL in the oldest age population. The results underscore the relevance of tailored and targeted care planning and the development of customized interventions
Housing density and its consequences for couples in Germany
High housing density has been considered a stressor that is detrimental to couples’ relationships. However, empirical research on this topic has been mixed, which might be due to the fact that not all couples respond to density in the same way. We contribute to the literature by not only considering separation as a potential reaction to density but also moving to a new place. Moreover, we combine insights from different theoretical models to expl…
Effect of Commitment on Supportive Dyadic Coping
Unresolved stress reduces the well-being of romantic relationships. Supportive coping helps resolving stress and protects relationship well-being. However, the conditions that promote supportive coping are largely unknown. According to interdependence theory, commitment promotes relationship maintenance behaviors in general. This study investigates whether commitment also promotes supportive coping. Data come from six waves of the German Family P…
Quality Assurance for Spatial Research Data
In Earth System Sciences (ESS), spatial data are increasingly used for impact research and decision-making. To support the stakeholders’ decision, the quality of the spatial data and its assurance play a major role. We present concepts and a workflow to assure the quality of ESS data. Our concepts and workflow are designed along the research data life cycle and include criteria for openness, FAIRness of data (findable, accessible, interoperable, …
Social Isolation and Incident Dementia in the Oldest-Old—A Competing Risk Analysis
In contrast to the findings of previous studies, we did not find an association between social isolation and incident dementia in the oldest-old. However, our analysis took into account the competing risk of death and the FU period was rather short. Future studies, especially with longer FU periods and more comprehensive assessment of qualitative social network characteristics (e.g., loneliness and satisfaction with social relationships) may be u…
Gender Specifics of Healthy Ageing in Older Age as Seen by Women and Men (70+)
(1) The rising proportion of older adults in the population represents a challenge for the healthcare system. Women and men age differently. This study aims to examine gender-specific characteristics of health in old age from male and female perspectives. (2) Two focus groups were formed in this qualitative study of older (70+) women ( n = 10) and men ( n = 8) in accordance with the theoretical framework of the World Health Organization (WHO) on …

Voting Behaviour and Health Among the Oldest-old in Germany
Background If voter turnout reflects social or health inequalities, then these inequalities can reduce equal political representation. Research suggests that poor health impedes voting and contributes to low turnout, especially among the oldest-old (80 years and older). Therefore, we examine the determinants of voting behaviour in more detail, with a special focus on the role of health status among the oldest-old. Methods The analysis was based o…

The Transition to a Coresidential Partnership
Moving into a joint household is an important step in the process of union formation. While a growing body of literature investigates differences between those couples who start coresidence and those who do not, we know little about the likelihood of moving upon the start of coresidence. The aim of this paper is to investigate how individual and couple-level characteristics are associated with moving, or having a partner move in, at the start of …

Migration and marriage in the life course
First-time Home-ownership in the Family Life Course
The transition to first-time home-ownership is made at increasingly younger ages in both West Germany and the Netherlands. This trend is stronger in the Netherlands than in Germany, however. There are also marked differences between the two countries in the extent to which first-time home-ownership is connected with events in the family life course (marriage and childbirth) and the availability of resources from the parental family. These differe…
The Connections between Family Formation and First-time Home Ownership in the Context of West Germany and the Netherlands
Union Dissolution and Mobility
We investigate which partner of a 2-gender couple moves out after separation. We test hypotheses on the impact of differences between the partners in the costs of moving out and resources, using data from the Divorce in the Netherlands survey (N = 1,537 ex-couples who separated between 1972 and 1998). Ex-partners initiating the separation were more likely to leave, as were those for whom a new partnership was a reason for the separation. An ex-pa…
On the Variation of Divorce Risks in Europe
The aim of this article is to integrate empirical research on divorce risks in Europe and to explain the variation of empirical findings between European countries by the different levels of modernization and differences in the strength of marriage norms. We focus on the effects of premarital cohabitation, the presence of children, and the experience with parental divorce on marital stability. More than 260 studies on divorce risks could be ident…

Parenthood, Marital Status, and Well-Being in Later Life
Moving after Separation
This paper addresses the role of location-specific capital-the ties that bind people to a place-in which ex-partners of two-sex couples move after separation or divorce. The study uses data from the first and second waves of the Netherlands Kinship Panel Study (N = 361) to test hypotheses on the impact of individual homeownership, prior residential history, and the nearby presence of parents on whether a separated person moves. Who owned the home…

Pathways to Childlessness and Late-Life Outcomes
Via a simultaneous analysis of different life course pathways (marital, occupational, and childbearing histories) and different outcomes, this article addresses the question When does childlessness matter in late life and how? Survey data from Amsterdam ( N = 661) and Berlin, Germany ( N = 516) are used. Lifelong childlessness results in smaller networks among men and women in Amsterdam and Berlin, and in the Dutch sample it leads to higher incom…

On the links between employment, partnership quality, and the desire to have a first child
We examine the impact of precarious work (low income and job security satisfaction) on the intention to have a first child. We consider a direct and an indirect effect; the latter is mediated by partnersâ conflict behaviour, conflict level, and partner
Exploring Increasing Divorce Rates in West Germany
We investigate the upward trend of divorce rates in West Germany since the middle of the 1930s by testing hypotheses on the changing socio-structural composition of marriage cohorts and on changes of the divorce behavior of different socio-structural subgroups. Hypotheses were derived by linking the parameters of three theoretical micro models that explain marital stability—the exchange, the investment, and the microeconomic model—to four societa…
Wohneigentum im Lebenslauf
In Deutschland wollen viele im Wohneigentum leben, doch die Wohneigentumsquote der Haushalte ist mit etwa 40% niedrig. Die Studie beschäftigt sich mit der Frage, in welcher Weise die Familiengründung sowie die sozioökonomischen Ressourcen, über die Individuen verfügen, den Übergang ins Wohneigentum beeinflussen. Die empirische Analyse basiert auf einer repräsentativen Stichprobe retrospektiv erhobener Lebensverlaufsdaten westdeutscher Geburtsjahr…
Housing Affordability, Housing Tenure Status and Household Density
Housing is an important dimension of social inequality between couples, but it has been largely ignored in prior research on union dissolution. Extending the literature that controlled for the stabilizing effect of homeownership, we investigate whether housing, measured as household density, housing tenure and housing affordability, is related to the risk of union dissolution. Based on data from the German Family Panel (pairfam), we analyze 3441 …
Socio-Economic Resources and Differential Ageing
The Sociology and Social Policy Research Unit of the Berlin Aging Study focuses on four substantive areas: (1) life course antecedents and generational experiences, (2) later phases of the family life course, (3) action resources and social participation, and (4) economic situations and the provision of care. This paper reports results on the relationship between social and economic inequality and differential ageing, using the BASE multidiscipli…

The English Chartered Trading Companies, 1688-1763
This book provides a collective view of the five major English chartered trading companies which were active during the period 1688-1763: The East India Company, the Royal African Company, the Hudson's Bay Company, The Levant Company, and the Russia Company. Using both archival and secondary sources, this monograph fills in some of the knowledge gaps concerning the less well-studied companies, and examines the interconnections between internation…
Marital Status, Partnership and Health Behaviour
Numerous empirical studies have confirmed that married people have a lower risk of morbidity and mortality than unmarried people. However, there is relatively little existing research on the impact of marital status and partnerships on the health behaviour of elderly people in Europe. This study examines the association between partnership status and health-related behaviour among the German population in the second half of life (aged 40-85). We …

Labour Surplus as a Signal for Real-Wage Adjustment
Unemployment figures for Austria have been running well below the OECD average since the late 1960s. In fact, before 1981 there was hardly any unemployment problem in Austria. In 1982 and 1983 unemployment rates doubled. Since then the upward movement has slowed down; but there are no indications that Austrian unemployment could drop substantially below the 5 per cent level during the second half of the 1980s (see Figure 1)

Charter Schools in Alberta
The Progressive Conservative government of Premier Ralph Klein undertook an ambitious program of educational restructuring. Among other changes the government provided for the establishment of charter schools in the province. This was the first time that charter schools were to be allowed in Canada and led a number of observers to allege that this was a step toward the privatization of public education in Alberta. In other words, a radical change…
