Die Modellschule Graz 2000

The ?Modellschule Graz“ in the year 2000 The ?Modellschule Graz“, founded in 1982, is presented with the basic concepts: to promote the intellectual as well as the personal and social development of the pupils. Correspondingly, the basis of the pedagogical work is the personal and social development of the teacher’s personalities, which should be achieved by the means of continuous education, supervision, organizational counseling and regular self-organized weeks for reflection. This highly demanding concept comes up against limiting factors, because the requirement and the social and political circumstances constantly change. The continual process of adaptation requires a lot of time and energy and may also be linked with intense conflicts. The coping of these conflicts is supported by external counseling.     

"朝向对象的悠长而温和的目光":关于海德格尔与阿多诺之思的思考

阿多诺的"朝向对象的悠长而温和的目光"和海德格尔的"泰然任之"是对待事物的两种相似的聚精会神和耐心的态度,都是面对对象的一种无作为的心态,都表现出与主体性哲学统治原则的不同旨趣,即不是去主动地认识、控制对象,而是让对象展现自身.     

Intervention time series analysis of voluntary,counselling and testing on HIV infections in West African sub-region: the case of Ghana

In this paper, intervention time series models were developed to examine the effectiveness of the voluntary counselling and testing (VCT) programme in the northern and southern sectors of Ghana. Pre-intervention data of HIV reported cases in the northern and southern sectors were first modelled as Box–Jenkins univariate time series. Second, the adopted models from the pre-intervention data were extended to include the intervention variable. The intervention variable was coded as zero for the pre-intervention period (1 January 1996–31 December 2002) and one for the post-intervention period (1 January 2003–31 December 2007). The models developed were applied to the entire data for the two sectors to estimate the effect of the VCT programme. Our findings indicate that the VCT programme was found to be associated with detection of 20 and 40 new HIV infections per 100,000 persons per month in the northern and southern sectors (p?相似文献   

Hidden Second‐order Stationary Spatial Point Processes

In the existing statistical literature, the almost default choice for inference on inhomogeneous point processes is the most well‐known model class for inhomogeneous point processes: reweighted second‐order stationary processes. In particular, the K‐function related to this type of inhomogeneity is presented as the inhomogeneous K‐function. In the present paper, we put a number of inhomogeneous model classes (including the class of reweighted second‐order stationary processes) into the common general framework of hidden second‐order stationary processes, allowing for a transfer of statistical inference procedures for second‐order stationary processes based on summary statistics to each of these model classes for inhomogeneous point processes. In particular, a general method to test the hypothesis that a given point pattern can be ascribed to a specific inhomogeneous model class is developed. Using the new theoretical framework, we reanalyse three inhomogeneous point patterns that have earlier been analysed in the statistical literature and show that the conclusions concerning an appropriate model class must be revised for some of the point patterns.     

Sensibilisierung gegenüber Fremdenfeindlichkeit und Rassismus — Ergebnisse einer wissenschaftlichen Begleitung des XENOS-Projektes „Konzeptwerkstatt gegen Rechts“

The focal point of this study is to investigate, on the basis of social psychological constructs, whether the Deutsche Angestellten-Akademie Südbayern’s (The German Employee Academy of Southern Bavaria) XENOS project “Konzeptwerkstatt gegen Rechts” (Concept Workshop Against Right Extremism), supported within the framework of the XENOS Program (01/01/2003 — 31/12/2005), achieved its goal to reduce the xenophobic attitudes of trainees. Applying a quasi-experimental “one-group pre-test/post-test plane” and various attitude/prejudice assessment methods, four hypotheses were tested. Although it was not possible to empirically confirm all the formulated hypotheses, the measures of the XENOS project “Konzeptwerkstatt gegen Rechts” (Concept Workshop Against Right Extremism), represent a successful approach to reduce students’ xenophobic attitudes, stereotypes and prejudices towards foreigners.     

Optimal PPS Sampling with Vanishing Auxiliary Variables – with Applications in Microscopy

Recently, non‐uniform sampling has been suggested in microscopy to increase efficiency. More precisely, proportional to size (PPS) sampling has been introduced, where the probability of sampling a unit in the population is proportional to the value of an auxiliary variable. In the microscopy application, the sampling units are fields of view, and the auxiliary variables are easily observed approximations to the variables of interest. Unfortunately, often some auxiliary variables vanish, that is, are zero‐valued. Consequently, part of the population is inaccessible in PPS sampling. We propose a modification of the design based on a stratification idea, for which an optimal solution can be found, using a model‐assisted approach. The new optimal design also applies to the case where ‘vanish’ refers to missing auxiliary variables and has independent interest in sampling theory. We verify robustness of the new approach by numerical results, and we use real data to illustrate the applicability.
