Mental health status of workers in the semiconductor industry during the Covid-19 pandemic: Comparisons between regions on three continents
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic had detrimental effects on mental health globally, both in and outside the work context. The type of work and work organization additionally had adverse or protective effects on mental health, with sometimes inconsistent findings, like a dualistic effect of working from home. Country differences in mental health effects of the pandemic have been reported, but comparative studies in the work context face the chall…
From fractions to algebra: Cross-domain predictive relationships between conceptual and procedural knowledge and the potential mediating role of relational and proportional reasoning
Discriminant validity and interrelations of conceptual and procedural knowledge in fractions and algebra: Evidence from confirmatory factor analysis
BACKGROUND: Conceptual and procedural knowledge are two distinct types of mathematical knowledge. Measuring them with sufficient discriminant validity is challenging because they are typically highly correlated. Prior studies have demonstrated discriminant validity of paper-and-pencil measures separately for fractions and algebra. However, whether such measures can distinguish between the two knowledge types within a single sample of students ins…
Patentkonflikte in der deutschen metallurgischen Industrie in der Zwischenkriegszeit am Beispiel der Isabellenhütte Heusler GmbH
The Hessian metallurgical company Isabellenhütte Gmbh in Dillenburg was a science-based company that applied for and was granted a number of patents from the late 19th century onwards. Among these was a patent for «iron-containing manganese copper alloys» issued in 1917. The article examines the strategies that the company used to observe and challenge competing patents of other companies, such as Metallgesellschaft AG, Frankfurt a.M. As a small,…

The relation between prior knowledge and learning in regular and gifted classes: A multigroup latent growth curve analysis
Young children intuitively organize numbers on straight, horizontal lines from left to right before the onset of formal instruction
The number line estimation task is frequently used to measure children's numerical magnitude understanding. It is unclear whether the resulting straight, horizontal, left-to-right-oriented estimate patterns indicate task constraints or children's intuitive number–space mapping. Three- to six-year-old children (N = 72, M age = 4.89, 56% girls, 94% German citizenship) were asked to explain the meaning of numbers to a teddy by laying out a rope and …
A Germany-wide survey of caregiving professionals on climate change and mental health of children and adolescents - factors influencing their relevance rating of extreme weather event associated menta…
The described influence of experiencing extreme weather events should not be regarded as the sole factor leading to higher relevance ratings. A more comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing relevance assessments is necessary to address key aspects of risk communication and increase risk awareness
Central questions about meta-analyses in psychological research: An annotated reading list
A large amount of literature is available for researchers who are interested in performing meta-analyses in psychology. However, due to a large number of available sources and meta-analytic approaches, it can be difficult to get started with a meta-analysis when prior experiences are limited. In this annotated reading list, we provide an overview of and comment on 12 recommended sources that address the most relevant questions for conducting and …

In the canton of Basel-Stadt, this is the responsibility of public health officers employed by the division of Social Medicine of the cantonal Health Department. Aims: This study aims to elucidat…
Know Pain, No Pain? Preliminary Testing and Application of a New Tool to Assess Biopsychosocial Pain Concepts in Children
To deliver tailored pain science education, assessing children's biopsychosocial pain concepts is necessary. As validated tools are lacking, a new tool is presented, the biopsychosocial pain concept matrix (BiPS matrix), which assesses children's biological, psychological, and social pain concepts in five domains according to the Common-Sense Model of Self-Regulation (Hagger and Orbell, 2003): (1) illness identity, (2) causes, (3) consequences, (…

Deliberate practice in music: Development and psychometric validation of a standardized measurement instrument
Practice is the process through which musicians improve their performance abilities and increase their level of expertise. Deliberate Practice (DP) is a theory of expertise based on the concept that interindividual differences in the level of proficiency in a specific domain can be mostly explained by interindividual differences in the amount of deliberate practice; despite its popularity, subsequent studies have demonstrated several critical iss…
A Qualitative Study to Explain the Factors Influencing Mental Health after a Flooding
Background: Children and adolescents are considered to be particularly vulnerable to the psychological effects of climate change, such as extreme weather events. What are the protective factors and stressors for the mental health of the young population after extreme weather events in Germany? Methods: Nine semi-structured interviews with representatives of occupational groups providing care to children, adolescents, and political stakeholders we…
Is Covid-19 a dread risk? The death toll of the pandemic year 2020 in long-term and transnational perspective
Dread risks" are threats that can have catastrophic consequences. To analyse this issue we use excess mortality and corresponding life years lost as simple measures of the severity of pandemic events. As such, they are more robust than figures from models and testing procedures that usually inform public responses. We analyse data from OECD countries that are already fully available for the whole of 2020. To assess the severity of the pandemic, w…
Heat adaptation measures in private households: An application and adaptation of the protective action decision model
Extreme heatwaves will occur more frequently and with higher intensity in future. Their consequences for human health can be fatal if adaptation measures will not be taken. This study analyses factors related to heat adaptation measures in private households in Germany. During the summer months of 2019, indoor temperatures were measured in over 500 private households in the City of Augsburg, Germany, accompanied by a survey to find out about heat…
Mental Health Literacy in Zurich: A First Measurement Attempt Using the General HLS-EU-Q47
Background: Mental health literacy (MHL) promises to be an important factor for public health by enabling people to take responsibility for their own mental health. To date, there is no measurement tool that allows the assessment of a comprehensive understanding of MHL as part of health literacy (HL). Nonetheless, the widely used Health Literacy Survey European Questionnaire 47 (HLS-EU-Q47) includes items assessing at least some MHL-aspects in th…
Liked for their looks: Evaluative conditioning and the generalisation of conditioned attitudes in early childhood
Recent studies explored whether attitude formation in early childhood can be explained in terms of evaluative conditioning (EC), the change in liking that is due to the pairing of stimuli. This study sought to replicate and extend this line of research by investigating whether and under what conditions preschool children generalise EC effects from conditioned to novel stimuli. Specifically, two experiments were conducted in which 3- to 6-year-old…

The Discovery of the Gini Coefficient
This article traces the development of the methods of representing the degree of income inequality that were developed in the early twentieth century by Max Otto Lorenz and Corrado Gini. It suggests that Gini’s efforts to perfect the Lorenz curve may well have facilitated his discovery of what came to be known as the Gini coefficient and argues that this coefficient is an important example of a multiple (or chain multiple) discovery
Peer Feedback Improves Students’ Academic Self-Concept in Higher Education
Peer feedback has been shown to be an effective strategy to improve academic achievement. However, little evidence is available about the effects of peer feedback on academic outcomes other than achievement, such as academic self-concept (ASC). ASC and achievement are reciprocally related and thus mutual reinforce themselves. The present study focuses on the effect of a four week long structured web-based peer feedback intervention on ASC in the …
Global flows of knowledge: Expectations toward transnational regulatory aspects of intellectual property rights in the 20th century chemical industry
Legal and global historical research, especially about the German Empire, has identified an increasing tendency to internationalize the rule making of economic and technical contexts. Also the international protection of intellectual property rights made progress, so it seemed. The Paris Convention of 1883 did not harmonize the different national patent regimes, but intended to facilitate the transnational flow of inventions by a coordinated syst…
Subjective well-being and academic achievement: A meta-analysis
Relations among conceptual knowledge, procedural knowledge, and procedural flexibility in two samples differing in prior knowledge
Competence in many domains rests on children developing conceptual and procedural knowledge, as well as procedural flexibility. However, research on the developmental relations between these different types of knowledge has yielded unclear results, in part because little attention has been paid to the validity of the measures or to the effects of prior knowledge on the relations. To overcome these problems, we modeled the three constructs in the …
Profiles of inconsistent knowledge in children’s pathways of conceptual change
Conceptual change requires learners to restructure parts of their conceptual knowledge base. Prior research has identified the fragmentation and the integration of knowledge as 2 important component processes of knowledge restructuring but remains unclear as to their relative importance and the time of their occurrence during development. Previous studies mostly were based on the categorization of answers in interview studies and led to mixed emp…

The developmental relations between conceptual and procedural knowledge: A multimethod approach
Interactions between conceptual and procedural knowledge influence the development of mathematical competencies. However, after decades of research, these interrelations are still under debate, and empirical results are inconclusive. The authors point out a source of these problems. Different kinds of knowledge and competencies only show up intertwined in behavior, making it hard to measure them validly and independently of each other. A multimet…

I do not need a flu shot because I lead a healthy lifestyle: Compensatory health beliefs make vaccination less likely
Compensatory health beliefs, a self-defence strategy, were examined in a theory-guided intervention promoting influenza vaccination at the workplace. In total, 851 employees were randomised to one group aimed at enhancing intention formation (standard group) or to another one assisting self-regulation (intervention group). Assessments took place after the intervention and 5 months later, investigating whether the intervention would interfere with…

Writing Performance Level Descriptors and Setting Performance Standards for Assessments of Modified Achievement Standards: The Role of Innovation and Importance of Following Conventional Practice
Alternate assessments of modified academic achievement standards (AA-MAS) must be designed, developed, implemented, and validated following the same rigorous principles and procedures used for other assessments. However, the uniqueness and unfamiliarity of the target population for these assessments requires innovative thinking, especially in regard to writing relevant performance level descriptors (PLDs) and setting appropriate achievement stand…

Death by Design: Programmed Cell Death in Cardiovascular Biology and Disease
Programmed cell death (apoptosis) is recognized, increasingly, as a contributing cause of cardiac myocyte loss with ischemia/reperfusion injury, myocardial infarction, and long-standing heart failure. Although the exact mechanisms initiating apoptosis in these in vivo settings remain unproven, insights into the molecular circuitry controlling apoptosis more widely suggest the potential to protect mammalian ventricular muscle from apoptosis throug…
