Lassen sich positive Zusammenhänge zwischen Aufgabenmerkmalen und aufgabenbezogenem situationalem Interesse von Schülerinnen und Schülern herstellen? Diese Arbeit untersucht auf der Basis von Interessentheorien die Wirkung von Aufgabenmerkmalen auf situationales Interesse im Fach Geschichte. Aufgrund hauptsächlich normativ gesetzter geschichtsdidaktischer Vorschläge zur Lernaufgabengestaltung fehlt bislang ein empirisch überprüftes Klassifikationsschema zur Beschreibung von unterschiedlichen Aufgabenmerkmalen. Die vorliegende Studie stellt die Entwicklung eines Aufgabenkategoriensystems vor und untersucht den Zusammenhang zwischen Aufgabenmerkmalen und aufgabenspezifischem situationalem Interesse [Aufgabeninteressantheit (AI) und subjektive Bedeutsamkeit (SB)] von Lernenden. Als Aufgabenmerkmale ließen sich ‚Aufgabenschwierigkeit‘, ‚Offenheit der Aufgabenstellung‘ (Aufgabenstruktur), ‚Kognitive Anforderungen‘, ‚Lebensweltbezug‘, ‚Oberflächenmerkmale‘ (grafische Elemente) und ‚Aufgabenumfang‘ (Leseaufwand und Schreibaufwand) feststellen und wurden hinsichtlich AI und SB näher untersucht. Es wurden insgesamt 801 bayerische Realschülerinnen und Realschüler (30 Klassen) der 9. Jahrgangsstufe dreimal innerhalb eines Zeitraums von zwei bis drei Wochen im Rahmen eines lernaufgabengesteuerten Unterrichts befragt. Nach Überprüfung des Klassifikationsschemas zeigten multiple Regressionsanalysen, dass in den Einzelanalysen (Betrachtung der einzelnen Aufgabenmerkmale) AI vorwiegend durch schwierige Aufgaben, wenig strukturierte Aufgaben, Aufgaben mit hohen kognitiven Anforderungen sowie Aufgaben mit reiner Textdarstellung und hohem Lese- und Schreibaufwand vorhergesagt wurde, während SB nur durch Aufgaben mit Lebensweltbezug und Aufgaben mit hohem Leseaufwand prädiziert wurde. Betrachtet man die Gesamtmodelle (Aufnahme aller Aufgabenmerkmale ins Modell) unter Berücksichtigung von Multikollinearität, zeigten sich positive Effekte auf SB bei Aufgaben mit dem Erfordernis eines historischen Werturteils, das ein In-Beziehung-Setzen des historischen Geschehens mit der eigenen Gegenwart impliziert. Hinsichtlich AI und SB zeigten sich positive Effekte bei Aufgaben mit hohem Leseaufwand. Negative Effekte auf AI ließen sich bei schwierigen Aufgaben und Aufgaben mit hohem Schreibaufwand feststellen. Hinsichtlich AI und SB zeigten sich negative Effekte bei Aufgaben mit reiner Textdarstellung. Der signifikant positive Einfluss von Aufgaben mit hohem Leseaufwand auf AI und SB deutet auf einen Prädiktor hin, der Ansätze für Nachfolgestudien im Fach Geschichte bietet. Da besonders die Lesekompetenz eine Voraussetzung und Teil historischer Kompetenz darstellt, sollte z. B. auf die Textschwierigkeit mehr Aufmerksamkeit gerichtet werden. Auch die Ergebnisse zum Schreibaufwand weisen auf Untersuchungsansätze hin, welche Aufgabenkonstruktionen mit dem Erfordernis historischer Werturteile betreffen.

The most commonly cited theories of academic motivation include expectancy-value theory, social cognitive theory, self-determination theory, interest theory, achievement goal theory, and attribution theory. To gain a deeper understanding of the similarities and differences among these prominent theories, we present an integrative framework based on an action model (Heckhausen & Heckhausen, 2018). The basic model is deliberately parsimonious, consisting of six stages of action: the situation, the self, the goal, the action, the outcome, and the consequences. Motivational constructs from each major theory are related to these determinants in the course of action, mainly revealing differences and to a lesser extent commonalities. In the integrative model, learning outcomes represent a typical indicator of goal-directed behavior. Associated recent meta-analyses demonstrate the empirical relationship between the motivational constructs of the six central theories and academic achievement. They provide evidence for the explanatory value of each theory for students’ learning.

It shows how the Internet Research Agency operated as a sophisticated "troll farm" during the early stages of the Russo-Ukrainian war, with activities similar to those of a PR firm. The Patriot Media Group absorbed these activities, blurring the lines between media and disinformation and prioritising metrics-driven propaganda over journalistic professionalism. This dissertation identifies the organisation ANO Dialog as a new model, heavily integrated with state structures, combining digital surveillance, repression, and Soviet-style agitation adapted to the digital age. Using a novel methodology of career profile collection and analysis, my research illustrates the institutionalisation and regional expansion of disinformation tactics in Russian digital authoritarianism, highlighting its operational adaptability and evolving infrastructure.

Wirtz 2013, S. 447) – ist ein Begriff, der im pädagogischen Schulalltag bedeutsam ist und zur Professionalisierung von Lehrkräften beiträgt. So ist Empathie beispielsweise essenziell für die Gestaltung sozialer Interaktionen (vgl. Baron-Cohen & Wheelwright 2004, S. 163), die Qualität der Interaktion zwischen Lehrenden und Lernenden (vgl. Warren 2013, S. 6), deren Vertrauensverhältnis (vgl. Gassner 2006, S. 8) und die Lehrer/-innen-Schüler/-innen-Beziehung (vgl. Liekam 2004, S. 21). Über welches subjektive Verständnis des Empathiebegriffs verfügen jedoch Lehrpersonen selbst? Für wie wichtig erachten sie es, dass Lehrkräfte empathisch sind und warum? Was macht aus ihrer Sicht eine empathische Lehrkraft aus, welche Faktoren werden als empathiefördernd bzw. empathiehemmend empfunden und welche Begründungslinien führen sie für die Einschätzung ihrer eigenen Empathiefähigkeit bzw. der von KollegInnen an? Ergebnisse einer qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse von Expertinneninterviews mit österreichischen Grundschullehrkräften legen strukturiert subjektive Empathiedefinitionen von Lehrpersonen dar, fassen Begründungslinien für die Wichtigkeit einer empathischen Lehrperson im Schulalltag zusammen, beschreiben empathisch eingestufte Ausdrucksweisen und Grundhaltungen der befragten Lehrpersonen und identifizieren subjektive Förder- und Hemmfaktoren auf Empathie. Weitere Aspekte im Empathiebewusstsein von Lehrpersonen werden vorgestellt sowie Veränderungen im Empathiebewusstsein von Lehrkräften aufgrund von Expertise und Berufserfahrung herausgearbeitet. Diese Arbeit leistet einen Beitrag zur Grundlagenforschung und Empathiediskussion im bildungswissenschaftlichen wie grundschulpädagogischen und -didaktischen Feld. Erkenntnisse könnten für die Lehramtsausbildung sowie die Weiterbildung von Pädagoginnen und Pädagogen bedeutsam sein und neue Impulse liefern, beispielsweise was die Forcierung sozialer Kompetenzen betrifft.

A survey experiment on the effects of the state of research and method preferences on the choice between research goals N2 - In empirical research, scholars can choose between an exploratory causes-of-effects analysis, a confirmatory effects-ofcauses approach, or a mechanism-of-effects analysis that can be either exploratory or confirmatory. Understanding the choice between the approaches is important for two reasons. First, the added value of each approach depends on how much is known about the phenomenon of interest at the time of the analysis. Second, because of the specializations of methods, there are benefits to a division of labor between researchers who have expertise in the application of a given method. In this preregistered study, we test two hypotheses that follow from these arguments. We theorize that exploratory research is chosen when little is known about a phenomenon and a confirmatory approach is taken when more knowledge is available. A complementary hypothesis is that quantitative researchers opt for confirmatory designs and qualitative researchers for exploration because of their academic socialization. We test the hypotheses with a survey experiment of more than 900 political scientists from the United States and Europe. The results indicate that the state of knowledge has a significant and sizeable effect on the choice of the approach. In contrast, the evidence about the effect of methods expertise is more ambivalent.

While frequently used, the distinction suffers from a number of shortcomings that have hitherto been devoted little attention to. This dissertation aims to contribute to fill this research gap by systematically addressing these pitfalls. Notably, it does not abandon the binary distinction as such, but aims to further refine it. Thoroughly revisiting the nationalism-patriotism distinction, it synthesises the field's two predominant research traditions, i.e. the work of Kosterman and Feshbach (1989) in the U.S. and the one of Blank and Schmidt (2003) in Germany, that have not been brought into dialogue. In so doing, and engaging with research on attachment, it calls for a more nuanced triad of attachments: nationalism, that revolves around the nation; patriotism, that refers to the homeland; and democratic patriotism with democracy as its object of attachment. In line with this triad, it introduces a novel three-factor measurement model that has been validated in three studies in Germany. Overall, the dissertation underlines the need to approach ambiguous and complex concepts such as nationalism and patriotism in a more theoretically consistent way before operationalizing them in a rigorous manner.

Nowhere is this more apparent than in Southeast Asia, where China-backed infrastructure projects expand, and at great speed. Such infrastructure projects are carriers of particular versions of modernity, promising rapid mobility to populations better connected than ever before. Yet, until now, little attention has been paid to how mobility and promises of mobility intersect with local understandings of development. In the introduction to this special issue, we argue that it is essential to think about the role infrastructure plays in forms of development that place connectivity at the center. We suggest that considering development, mobility and mo-dernity together is enlightening because it interrogates the connections between these interlocking themes. Through an introduction to five ethnographically grounded papers and two commentaries, all of which engage with infrastructures in different contexts throughout Southeast Asia, we demonstrate that there are significant gaps between of-ficial policy and lived experience. This makes the need to interrogate what infrastructure, mobilities, and global China really mean all the more pressing.

Gleichzeitig bestehen beim Thema Partizipation aber Forschungslücken, insbesondere mit Blick auf digitale Formen der Partizipation. Letztere stehen erst am Beginn ihres Einsatzes, während die digitalen Medien sowohl die Alltagswelt der Menschen als auch die Planungsverfahren immer stärker berühren. Diese Arbeit befasst sich deshalb mit Partizipationsprozessen zur Beteiligung von Bürgerinnen, Bürgern und anderen Akteuren/Interessensgruppen in kommunalen Projekten und damit, wie diese Partizipationsprozesse im Lichte von aktuellen, modernen Möglichkeiten digitaler Partizipation anwendungsorientiert gestaltet und sowohl in städtischen als auch ländlichen Räumen akteurs- und ergebnisorientiert analog und/oder digital umgesetzt werden können. Das methodische Vorgehen basiert auf einem vor allem qualitativ- und interaktiv-sozialwissenschaftlichen Methodenmix und erfolgt in drei Zyklen: (1) einer initialen Datensammlung mit Fokus auf einem kommunalen Partizipationsprojekt, (2) einer Datensammlung 2 mit einem Fokus auf minimalen Kontrast und Ähnlichkeiten weiterhin im Rahmen des Partizipationsprojekts sowie (3) einer Datensammlung 3 mit einem Fokus auf stärkeren Kontrast und Unterschiede hinsichtlich Aktivität, Alter oder Kultur der Akteure bzw. hinsichtlich des (eher) ländlichen bzw. städtischen Kontextes. Die verwendeten Erhebungsinstrumente (vor allem narrative und problemzentrierte Interviews, Befragungen, teilnehmende Beobachtungen, ein Schulprojekt und die Erhebung digitaler Partizipations- und Forschungsdaten) zeigen die Bedeutung der drei Aspekte Milieu, Akteure und Programm in der Planung, Gestaltung und Durchführung von Partizipationsprozessen. Anhand dieser drei Gesichtspunkte ergibt sich zudem die Antwort auf die zentrale Forschungsfrage dieser Arbeit, wie Partizipationsprozesse in kommunalen Projekten gestaltet werden können, um digitale Formate sowie lokal-regionale Kontexte zu berücksichtigen, und welche Aspekte dabei relevant sind: (1) das analoge Milieu der konkreten (eher) ländlichen bzw. städtischen Kommune sowie das in diesem sozialen und emotionalen Betroffenheits-Raum vorhandene oder von den Verantwortlichen anreichernd eingesetzte digitale Partizipations-Milieu bilden insgesamt den Raum und beeinflussen die Atmosphäre des Raums, innerhalb dem sich der Partizipationsprozess und die einzelnen -formate je nach Projektphase an ggf. unterschiedlichen Veranstaltungsorten als mikrogeographische Milieus in unterschiedlicher Art und Weise realisieren; (2) die sich in verschiedener Weise in den Partizipationsprozess einbringenden Akteure/Interessensgruppen und deren (je nach Ausmaß der tatsächlichen oder emotionalen Betroffenheit ausgeprägte) individuelle Motivation, beeinflussen die Erfordernisse an eine analoge und/oder digitale informative, dialogische und/oder diskursive Kommunikation sowie an eine auf Bildung, Begegnung, Kooperation und Verantwortung bauende analoge und/oder digitale Interaktion im konkreten Partizipationsprozess; (3) mit dem konkreten Programm des Partizipationsprozesses und den einzelnen analogen und/oder digitalen -formaten gestaltet sich ein (Partizipations-)Projekt in unterschiedlicher Ausprägung milieuorientiert (mit der Definition und Analyse des Partizipations-Raums als Kern der Milieuorientierung und der Standortsuche als zusätzlicher Aspekt bei standortbezogenen Projekten), akteursorientiert (auf den Umfang und den Grad der Einflussnahme-Möglichkeit der Akteure/Interessensgruppen von Nicht-Partizipation über Information und Mitsprache bis hin zu Zusammenarbeit und Mitbestimmung sowie Selbstbestimmung der Akteure blickend) sowie ergebnisorientiert (wirtschaftlich hinsichtlich Planung, Umsetzung, Entscheidung, Nachhaltung und Nachhaltigkeit). Die Bedeutung dieser Arbeit besteht zum einen darin, dass sie das theoretische und praktische Verständnis von Partizipationsprozessen erweitert, indem sie die Fokussierung auf gesellschaftliche Interaktionen in städtisch- und ländlich-digitalen Kontexten einführt, den es so bisher nicht gab, und damit auch die Action-Setting-Theorie von Peter Weichhart um digitale und regionale Anwendungsfelder erweitert. Die anwendungsorientierten Handlungsempfehlungen tragen zudem zur milieu-, akteurs- und programmsensiblen Umsetzung moderner Möglichkeiten analoger und/oder digitaler Partizipation bei. Schließlich eröffnet diese Arbeit Anknüpfungspunkte für künftige Forschungen – etwa in der Motivationspsychologie, der Kommunikations- und Politikwissenschaft, der Volkswirtschafts- oder der Betriebswirtschaftslehre sowie mit Blick auf andere räumliche Maßstäbe bis hin zu landes-, bundes- und europa-politischen (Partizipations-)Projekten. N2 - Great importance and great potential are ascribed to social inclusion and participation, for example by the European Commission and national authorities in funding programs, by the United Nations, in the Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda, or by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research in the High-Tech Strategy 2025. At the same time, however, there are research gaps on the subject of participation, particularly with regard to digital forms of participation. The latter are only just beginning to be used, while digital media are increasingly affecting both people's everyday lives and planning processes. This work therefore deals with processes for the participation of citizens and other actors/interest groups in municipal projects and how these participation processes can be designed in the light of current, modern possibilities of digital participation analogously and/or digitally and in an application-, actor- and result-oriented manner in both urban and rural areas. The methodological approach is based on a primarily qualitative and interactive social science method mix and takes place in three cycles: (1) an initial data collection with a focus on a municipal participation project, (2) a data collection 2 with a focus on minimal contrast and similarities, which continues in the participation project and (3) a data collection 3 with a focus on stronger contrast and differences in terms of activity, age or culture of the actors or in terms of the (rather) rural or urban context. The survey instruments used (mainly narrative and problem-centered interviews, surveys, participatory observations, a school project and the collection of digital participation- and research data) show the importance of the three aspects milieu, actors and program in the planning, design and implementation of participation processes. These three points of view also provide the answer to the central research question of this work, how participation processes in municipal projects can be designed to take digital formats and local-regional contexts into account, and which aspects are relevant: (1) the analogue milieu of the concrete (rather) rural or urban municipality as well as the digital participation milieu, that is present in this social and emotional area of concern or that is used to enrich it by those responsible, form the area as a whole and influence the atmosphere of the area, within which the participation process and the individual formats are realized in different ways at possibly different venues as microgeographical milieus depending on the project phase; (2) the actors/interest groups involved in the participation process in various ways and their individual motivation (depending on the extent of the actual or emotional impact) influence the requirements for analogue and/or digital informative, dialogical and/or discursive communication as well to an analogue and/or digital interaction based on education, encounter, cooperation and responsibility in the concrete process of participation; (3) with the specific program of the participation process and the individual analogue and/or digital formats, a (participation) project is formed milieu-oriented (with the definition and analysis of the participation space as the core of the milieu orientation and the search for a location as an additional aspect in site-related projects), actor-oriented (looking at the scope and degree of the actors/interest groups' ability to exert influence, from non-participation to information and participation to cooperation and co-determination as well as self-determination of the actors) and result-oriented (economically in terms of planning, implementation , decision, follow-up and sustainability) in various forms. The importance of this work is, on the one hand, that it expands the theoretical and practical understanding of participatory processes by introducing a focus on social interactions in urban- and rural-digital contexts that did not exist before. This also expands the Action-Setting-Theory by Peter Weichhart by including digital and regional fields of application. The application-oriented recommendations for action also contribute to the milieu-, actor- and program-sensitive implementation of modern opportunities for analogue and/or digital participation. Finally, this work opens up starting points for future research – for example in motivational psychology, communication and political science, economics or business administration, as well as with a view to other spatial scales, including state, federal and European political (participation) projects.

As a result of climate change and other, direct forms of anthropogenic interference, the magnitude and frequency of such floodings is predicted to continuously increase in the near future. Therefore, it is important to understand the vulnerability of affected people to implement appropriate measures. This research presents a case study on coastal flooding and its impact on livelihoods in the Volta Region of Ghana. The paper utilizes a vulnerability framework that focuses on exposure, susceptibility, as well as the capacities to anticipate, cope with, and recover from the effects of natural hazards. Based on a qualitative approach, the study focusses on those households who were directly affected of a severe tidal flood in November 2021, leading to a total destruction of their property. The research was conducted in March, July and August 2022. It revealed that the studied group had low capacity to anticipate and had no contingency plans in case of relocation. Further, we discovered different strategies that people applied to deal with the situation eight months after the flood event. Most households applied (short term) coping strategies to reestablish their former marine-based livelihood systems. Adaption in terms of long-term adjustment of their livelihoods played only a minor role and could be found in form of out-migration in a limited number of households.

Exhibition Audiences in Indonesia and Processes of Selection, Reception, and Appropriation Using the Example of the Exhibition "Raden Saleh and the Beginning of Modern Indonesian Painting" N2 - In der Dissertation «Ausstellungen und ihr Erfolg: (Kunst-)Geschichten befragen» wird ein Teilbereich der Bildungsforschung untersucht, nämlich die informelle Bildung im internationalen Kontext. Die Arbeit kombiniert eine ausführliche Analyse einer Ausstellung und deren Publikum und fokussiert sich dabei auf die Perspektive der Besucher*innen. Als Fallbeispiel dient die empirische Forschung zur kunsthistorischen Ausstellung «Raden Saleh und der Beginn der modernen indonesischen Malerei», die 2012 in der Nationalgalerie von Jakarta stattfand. Organisiert als kulturpolitisches Instrument vom Goethe-Institut Indonesien, stellte die Ausstellung eine bedeutende historische Persönlichkeit Indonesiens, Raden Saleh, in den Mittelpunkt. Besonders bemerkenswert war, dass seine Werke erstmals retrospektiv mit Originalgemälden in seiner Heimat gezeigt wurden. Die Ausstellung führte neue Narrative, neu Ausstellungs- und Vermittlungskonzepte ein und weckte großes Interesse beim Publikum, was zu einem außerordentlichen Erfolg führte. Basierend auf Konzepten der kritischen Museologie, (Kunst-)Soziologie und qualitativen Medienforschung untersucht die Arbeit die Ursachen und kurz- sowie langfristigen Effekte des Ausstellungserfolgs. Durch die Erforschung der bisher wenig beachteten Sphäre der Kunstdistribution und informellen Bildung in Indonesien leistet die Arbeit einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Grundlagenforschung der Südostasienwissenschaften. Gleichzeitig adressiert sie verschiedene Desiderate in der Publikumsforschung und liefert Erkenntnisse für eine kritische Ausstellungspraxis auf internationaler Bühne. Unter der Berücksichtigung von vielfältigen Kontexten der Ausstellungsbesucher (Sozio-kulturell, physisch, persönlich) arbeitet die qualitative sowie quantitative Analyse die massgeblichen Erfolgsfaktoren der Ausstellung heraus. Die Besucherforschung zeigte, dass vor allem die urbane Mittelklasse die Ausstellung aufsuchte. Besucher_innen kamen in die Ausstellung mit Vorwissen zu Raden Saleh in Form von Legenden. Dieses Vorwissen verhandelten sie in der Ausstellung neu und passten es an ihre persönlichen Bedürfnisse an. Gleichzeitig generierte sich das Interesse aus bis dato fehlenden Ganzkörpererfahrungen mit historischen Zeitzeugnissen zu Raden Saleh. Der Ausstellungserfolg war nicht nur auf den richtigen Ort, sondern auf den gut gewählten Zeitpunkt zurückführen. Die stattfindenden Feierlichkeiten zu Raden Salehs Geburtstag im Rahmen einer Erinnerungspolitik und diverse stattfindende Diskurse der Kunstwelt fanden in der Ausstellung die richtige Plattform, um Narrative zu Kunst und Geschichte zu verhandeln. Die Analyse der Selektions- und Rezeptionspraktiken der Besuchwer_innen machten die wichtigsten Erfolgsfaktoren der Ausstellung deutlich: ihre Fähigkeit an die oben genannten Kontexte der Besucher_innen anzuknüpfen oder diese für sich zu nutzen. Die Arbeit schließt mit Ergebnissen aus der Aneignungs- und Wirkungsforschung und deren Bewertung ab. Diese zeigen deutlich, dass die Wahrnehmung von Raden Saleh heute maßgeblich durch die Ausstellung «Raden Saleh und der Beginn der modernen indonesischen Malerei» beeinflusst wurde und verdeutlicht damit die Bedeutung und Verantwortung der informellen Lernorte wie Ausstellungen – insbesondere in postkolonialen Kontexten. N2 - In the dissertation "Exhibitions and Their Success: Examining (Art) Narratives", a specific area of educational research is investigated, namely informal education in an international context. The study combines a comprehensive analysis of an exhibition and its audience, focusing on the perspective of the visitors. The empirical research centers on the art-historical exhibition "Raden Saleh and the Beginning of Modern Indonesian Painting," which took place in 2012 at the National Gallery of Jakarta. Organized as a cultural-political instrument by the Goethe-Institut Indonesia, the exhibition highlighted Raden Saleh, a significant historical figure in Indonesia. Notably, this was the first retrospective showcasing his original paintings in his homeland. The exhibition introduced new narratives, as well as innovative exhibition and educational concepts, which garnered substantial public interest, leading to its extraordinary success. Based on concepts from critical museology, (art) sociology, and qualitative media research, the dissertation examines the causes and both the short- and long-term effects of the exhibition's success. By exploring the hitherto under-researched sphere of art distribution and informal education in Indonesia, this work makes a significant contribution to foundational research in Southeast Asian studies. Simultaneously, it addresses various desiderata in audience research and provides insights for a critical exhibition practice on the international stage. Considering the diverse contexts of exhibition visitors (e.g. socio-cultural, physical, personal), the qualitative and quantitative analyses identify the key success factors of the exhibition. Visitor research indicated that the urban middle class predominantly attended the exhibition. Visitors approached the exhibition with pre-existing knowledge of Raden Saleh in the form of legends, which they reinterpreted and adapted to their personal needs. At the same time, their interest was generated by the previously unavailable holistic experiences with historical artifacts related to Raden Saleh. The success of the exhibition was attributed not only to the appropriate location but also to the well-chosen timing. The concurrent celebrations of Raden Saleh's birthday within the framework of commemorative politics and various ongoing art world discourses provided a suitable platform for negotiating narratives of art and history. The analysis of the selection and reception practices of the visitors highlighted the most critical success factors of the exhibition; for example, its ability to connect with or utilize the aforementioned contexts of the visitors. The dissertation concludes with findings from appropriation and impact research and their evaluation. These clearly demonstrate that the perception of Raden Saleh today has been significantly influenced by the exhibition "Raden Saleh and the Beginning of Modern Indonesian Painting", highlighting the importance and responsibility of informal learning sites like exhibitions – especially in postcolonial contexts.

Increased media literacy in the population is one way to counter these issues and their implications. This especially applies to the sub‐concept of journalism literacy, focusing on the ability to consume news critically and reflectively, thus enabling democratic participation. For media companies, promoting journalism literacy seems logical for economic and altruistic reasons. However, research on German initiatives is scarce. This article presents an explorative qualitative survey of experts from seven media companies offering journalistic media education projects in German schools, focusing on the initiatives’ content, structure, and motivation. Results show that initiatives primarily aim at students and teachers, offering mostly education on journalism (e.g., teaching material) and via journalism (e.g., journalistic co‐production with students). While these projects mainly provide information on the respective medium and journalistic practices, dealing with disinformation is also a central goal. Most initiatives are motivated both extrinsically (e.g., reaching new audiences) and intrinsically (e.g., democratic responsibility). Despite sometimes insufficient resources and reluctant teachers, media companies see many opportunities in their initiatives: Gaining trust and creating resilience against disinformation are just two examples within the larger goal of enabling young people to be informed and opinionated members of a democratic society.

Im Zuge des Implementierungsprojekts werden Kriterien für ein Begabungssiegel entwickelt, mit dem die neun teilnehmenden Pilotprojektschulen für drei Jahre zertifiziert werden sollen. Um die Lehrpersonen bei der Unterrichtsentwicklung zu unterstützen, wird mit Lehrer:innenfortbildungen interveniert. Alle Schulleiter:innen der teilnehmenden Pilotprojektschulen und ein Vertreter der Schulbehörde werden in zwei Erhebungszeiträumen um ihre Einschätzungen bezüglich ihres Begriffsverständnisses, ihrer Erwartungshaltungen, der auftretenden Herausforderungen und der notwendigen Rahmenbedingungen interviewt. Zusätzlich werden die Lehrpersonen der teilnehmenden Pilotprojektschulen ebenfalls zu zwei Zeitpunkten in einem Abstand von einem Jahr quantitativ zu ihren subjektiven Einschätzungen bezüglich der Umsetzung von Inklusiver Begabungsförderung befragt. Es werden im Rahmen dieser Arbeit zahlreiche förderliche und einige hemmende Einflussfaktoren bei der Implementierung Inklusiver Begabungsförderung untersucht, die Schulen in ihren Entwicklungsprozessen im Kontext Inklusiver Begabungsförderung miteinbeziehen und berücksichtigt können. Dadurch kann Inklusive Begabungsförderung allen Schüler:innen zugute kommen. N2 - This dissertation provides scientific support for the two-year pilot project „BegIN - promoting giftedness in Lower Bavaria". In the course of the implementation project, criteria for a seal of potential and giftedness are being developed, with which the nine participating pilot project schools are to be certified for three years. In order to support teachers in the development of their lessons, teacher training courses are being organised. All headteachers of the participating pilot project schools and a representative of the school authorities will be interviewed at two survey periods to obtain their views on their understanding of the term, their expectations, challenges and the necessary framework conditions. In addition, the teachers of the participating pilot project schools will also be quantitatively surveyed at two points in time, one year apart, about their subjective assessments regarding the implementation of inclusive gifted education. Within the scope of this work, numerous favourable and some inhibiting factors in the implementation of inclusive gifted education are examined, which schools can include and take into account in their development processes in the context of inclusive gifted education. In this way, inclusive gifted education can benefit all pupils.

Letzterer widmet sich der theoretischen Erfassung von Möglichkeitsräumen in der Außenpolitik. In theoriegeleiteten Fallstudien analysiert die Arbeit den Zusammenhang zwischen Identitäten, Diskursen und Verhaltensweisen mit dem Ziel, außenpolitische Möglichkeitsräume in unterschiedlichen Handlungskontexten zu ermitteln. Das im Mantelteil neu generierte Modell zur Erforschung dieser Möglichkeitsräume überspannt die verschiedenen Theorien der Einzelbeiträge und zeigt so den Mehrwert einer konstitutiven sozialkonstruktivistischen Außenpolitiktheorie auf. Im Modell werden die folgenden drei Analysefelder herausgearbeitet: 1) Historische Vorstudie, 2) Fallspezifische Diskursanalyse und 3) Konstitutive Wirkungen. Anhand der Fallstudien wird dargelegt, wie der außenpolitische Rechtfertigungsdiskurs die Identität und damit den Möglichkeitsraum des Akteurs entweder reproduziert, erweitert oder durchbricht und welche konkreten Implikationen dies für den aktuellen und zukünftigen Handlungsspielraum in der Außenpolitik hat. Im Ergebnis können unter Anwendung des Modells die langfristigen Wirkungen von politischen Reaktionen auf Krisenereignisse differenziert bewertet werden. Dies führt zu einem besseren Verständnis von Nachhaltigkeit in der Außenpolitik und legt dar, dass sozialkonstruktivistische Außenpolitikforschung in der Lage ist, über die Gegenwart hinaus Aussagen über das zu erwartende Verhalten von Staaten in einem bestimmten Handlungskontext abzugeben.

Institutional quality has been examined using broad indices of rule of law, the rate of murder, the share of the shadow economy and provision of public goods. Nonetheless, we need to locate the specific institutional conditions under which the curse manifests since some “rule of law” countries like Nigeria and Angola are generally classified as resource cursed. In this review, I argue that managing and distributing natural resource wealth through a centralised planning strategy and lack of a binding long-term national development plan are institutional conditions that encourage government unaccountability as they do not restrict policy makers against discretionary distribution of natural resource windfall, rent seeking, clientelism and corruption which contribute to poor economic development and growth. Also, inadequate regulations on how to address the potential or actual impacts of natural resource extraction on the livelihood of local people and the environment tend to precipitate grievance-induced resource conflict.

By reviewing both the evolution of those distinctions over the previous decades and the ways in which they have been used in quantitative empirical research, we argue that the CED's evolution has been a partial success story, whereas discourse around the NPD has not seen substantial development. Despite lingering inconsistencies, researchers drawing on the CED have been successful in addressing different lines of critique and in using the CED as a heuristic for investigating notions of nationhood as expressed in public perceptions. In contrast, there has been only limited dialogue between theoretical and empirical approaches to the NPD. The article illustrates how research drawing on the NPD could profit from the CED's evolution. We close by providing a conceptual roadmap to guide the path towards more terminological clarity and to construct more theoretically robust measures for nationalism and patriotism. We specifically suggest that nationalism and patriotism should be consistently understood as ideal types that citizens can simultaneously hold to varying degrees.

Eine international vergleichende Studie N2 - Im Angesicht eines weltweiten Lehrkräftemangels (OECD, 2018b; UNESCO, 2023) wird in der empirischen Forschung der Berufswahlmotivation Lehramtsstudierender ein großer Stellenwert beigemessen (Butler, 2017). Es handelt sich beim Lehrkräftemangel aktuell um ein weltweites Phänomen, das weder nur Deutschland oder nur westliche Länder betrifft (UNESCO, 2023). In den letzten zwanzig Jahren haben sich einige theoretische Modelle zur Berufswahlmotivation spezifisch für das Lehramt etabliert, dazu zählen das FIT-Choice-Projekt (Richardson und Watt, 2007), Femola (Retelsdorf und Möller, 2012) und STeaM (Weiß und Kiel, 2013). In dieser Arbeit wird das FIT-Choice-Modell (Richardson und Watt, 2007) verwendet, um die Berufswahlmotive eines internationalen Samples Lehramtsstudierender zu zwei Zeitpunkten zu betrachten. Das Modell stellt mit seinen Bezugstheorien (Eccles und Wigfield, 2002; Ryan und Deci, 2000) sowohl die theoretische als auch die empirische Fundierung dieser Arbeit dar. Neben diesem werden Professionalisierungstheorien (vor allem der kompetenztheoretische Ansatz nach Baumert und Kunter, 2011a) und die Habitustheorie (Bourdieu, 1982) zur Interpretation der Ergebnisse herangezogen. Strukturmerkmale der einzelnen Länder ermöglichen ein kultursensitives Vorgehen. Zu zwei Zeitpunkten (Studienbeginn und Studienende) wurden an 5 Universitäten in Deutschland, Österreich, der Schweiz, Südafrika und Israel mit einem Skalenfragebogen insgesamt n= 1157 Studierende (Studienbeginn n= 835, Studienende n= 322) zu ihren Berufswahlmotiven und Einstellungen befragt. Diese wurden in Zusammenhang gebracht mit der Länderzugehörigkeit, ihrer sozialen Herkunft sowie ihren pädagogischen Vorerfahrungen. Zudem wurden im deutschen Sample zum Ende des Studiums offene Fragen ergänzt, um Begründungslinien für die Berufswahl in Erfahrung zu bringen. Mit dem spezifischen Sample wurde das Desiderat der Ländererweiterung um nicht- westliche Länder (Watt, Richardson und Smith, 2017) bearbeitet, ebenso mit den offenen Fragen das Desiderat nach der Verbindung von quantitativen und qualitativen Ansätzen (Watt und Richardson, 2015). Mit der Arbeit können die Hauptergebnisse der Forschung mit den FIT-Choice-Skalen bestätigt werden. Die Betrachtung von Subgruppen innerhalb der Länder gab einen Einblick zu Berufswahlmotiven marginalisierter Gruppen und den Grenzen von global anzuwen-denden (westlichen) Erhebungsinstrumenten. Die Arbeit leistet außerdem einen Beitrag zum Diskurs um den Einfluss von pädagogischen Vorerfahrungen in der Berufswahlmotivationsforschung, zudem werden Ergänzungen für den FIT-Choice-Fragebogen für die „Gen Z“ vorgeschlagen.

Verantwortliche Vermittlung gesellschaftlich relevanter Themen im Videospiel N2 - Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht die verantwortliche Vermittlung gesellschaftlich relevanter Themen im Medium des digitalen Spiels. Als generationenübergreifendes und interaktives Medium eröffnen digitale Spiele durch die Verknüpfung von Narration und Interaktion die Möglichkeit, alternative Perspektiven einzunehmen und neue Rollen zu erproben. Auf Basis von vier Teilstudien wird der Frage nachgegangen, wie gesellschaftlich bedeutsame Inhalte in digitalen Spielen verantwortungsvoll gestaltet und vermittelt werden können. Die erste Teilstudie identifiziert zentrale Nutzungsmotive und weist Spielende als potenzielle moralische Handlungsträger (Moral Agents) aus. Sie zeigt auf, dass moralische Dilemmata, die innerhalb virtueller Spielwelten erfahren werden, Relevanz für moralische Urteilsbildungsprozesse in der realen Welt entfalten können. Die zweite Teilstudie knüpft an diese Erkenntnisse an und untersucht anhand von Expert:inneninterviews das Potenzial digitaler Spiele für eine digitale Erinnerungskultur. Die dritte Teilstudie entwickelt ein Modell für die gelingende Vermittlung gesellschaftlich relevanter Themen im digitalen Spiel. Hierbei wird insbesondere die integrative Funktion von Narration und Interaktion als zentrales Gestaltungsprinzip herausgestellt. Die vierte Teilstudie erweitert dieses Modell um die Dimension der Ästhetik, die als konstitutives Element der Wirklichkeitswahrnehmung und Sinnkonstitution innerhalb virtueller Spielräume fungiert. Die Ergebnisse verdeutlichen, dass für eine verantwortungsvolle Vermittlung gesellschaftlich relevanter Inhalte im digitalen Spiel eine digitale Moral Agency erforderlich ist. Diese befähigt Spielende dazu, moralisch zu handeln und das eigene Handeln kritisch zu reflektieren. Die Verbindung von Narration und Interaktion erweist sich dabei als zentrales Mittel zur Initiierung von Perspektivwechseln, zur Übernahme fremder Rollen und zur Förderung reflexiver Prozesse. Ästhetisierungsprozesse innerhalb der Spielwelten tragen wesentlich dazu bei, diese kognitiven und affektiven Auseinandersetzungen anzustoßen und zu vertiefen.

A randomized controlled trial with Indonesian Facebook users JF - npj | Digital medicine N2 - Nudging individuals without obvious symptoms of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) to undergo a health screening remains a challenge, especially in middle-income countries, where NCD awareness is low but the incidence is high. We assess whether an awareness campaign implemented on Facebook can encourage individuals in Indonesia to undergo an online diabetes self-screening. We use Facebook’s advertisement function to randomly distribute graphical ads related to the risk and consequences of diabetes. Depending on their risk score, participants receive a recommendation to undergo a professional screening. We were able to reach almost 300,000 individuals in only three weeks. More than 1400 individuals completed the screening, inducing costs of about US$0.75 per person. The two ads labeled “diabetes consequences” and “shock” outperform all other ads. A follow-up survey shows that many high-risk respondents have scheduled a professional screening. A cost-effectiveness analysis suggests that our campaign can diagnose an additional person with diabetes for about US$9.

Without disregarding the undiminished significance of the idea of liberal democracy and its deep commitment to universal human rights, the necessity of a new accentuation of the concept of democracy is accepted in view of the observable democratic processes in non-Western societies. This should help to avoid both the blind spots of Eurocentrism and the misperception of countries as democracies that are merely masking their authoritarian or despotic character. The result is a theory of popular sovereignty that seeks to grasp and combine Western and non-Western conceptions of democracy in a balanced way and is based on a genealogical and comparative perspective of the history of political ideas in the global North and South. In a second step, the theory is then tested using a few selected examples (Confucian democracy, Islamic democracy, African democracy).

Funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research, the study ran from 2022 to 2024. The general objective of the project is to analyse the multiple links between the rural areas of departure and urban reception of migrants as well as the impacts on the development of these localities. The study employs a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative and qualitative research methods. The quantitative component consisted of two types of surveys. First, a household survey in the migrants' area of origin (AoO) to identify the migrants’ belonging to these households. In the second phase, a telephone survey was conducted among migrants in the destination areas (AoD). Then, the focus was on socio-economic data as well as translocal interactions and network relationships. The qualitative component consisted of in-depth interviews with key actors in the different areas of departure and destination of migrants. These include migrants, local administrative officials, leaders of NGOs, associations, community and religious leaders. The results show that migration is a phenomenon experienced by many households in rural areas. There are as many internal migrants as there are international migrants. Of the 537 households surveyed, 405 (75.4%) have at least one migrant. The age structure of migrants shows a predominantly young structure of migrants (82% who are under 40 years old). According to gender, migration is strongly male-dominated (82%). Men are more inclined to international migration (56%). Female migration is precocious. A large proportion of migrants (41%) have no level of education and are mostly single (50%). Translocality, conceptualized in this study as the multifaceted links between the places of departure, transit and residence of migrants, is apprehended through telephone contacts between migrants and their place of origin, in addition to the different forms of mobility: mobility of people, financial resources (remittances), material resources (transfers in kind), intangible resources (ideas, practices, etc.). Exchanges are often bidirectional. Telephone contacts represent 86% of migrants. Migrants visit the household in the area of origin more frequently (41.8%) than they receive household members at their destination (33.9%). More than 66.6% of migrants transfer remittances to their households in rural areas. With regard to the 4-level translocality intensity indicator (Wehner 2022), it can be concluded that over 50% of migrants are located at the two highest levels. Hence, translocality is an important feature of rural-urban migration in Burkina Faso. T3 - Migration, translocality and development in times of climate change.

During our field stay in Amedzofe, a settlement in south-eastern Ghana, we gathered qualitative data in a transect walk with a local key informant and, building upon this, ten semi-structured interviews, alongside quantitative data collected through a questionnaire involving 94 households as part of the broader data collection within the MiTra|WA research project. By applying a simple propensity score matching approach, the study demonstrates that households with at least one migrant are 18 percentage points more likely to invest in housing for Amedzofe family members than non-migrant housholds. Notably, investments in aesthetically appealing housing are particularly significant. Our qualitative findings substantiate these observations, highlighting a strong inclination to showcase translocal interconnectedness and a lasting sense of belonging to Amedzofe. Housing investments also encapsulate the ingrained notion of migrants' eventual return to Amedzofe, especially for retirement, namely the "stone-made myth of return." Our study emphasizes the need for expanded research focus on translocal networks and the symbolic importance of housing in the Ghanaian context. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for addressing the implications of growing demands for living space, which may impact land distribution and require further investigation.

Foreign policy change in the US-Cuban dyad JF - Zeitschrift für Friedens- und Konfliktforschung N2 - In foreign policy dyads characterized by enmity, mutual desecuritization can serve as a crucial asset for détente. But how does “the way out of the emergency mode” function, considering mutual securitizations over decades? Embarking from theoretical insights provided by second generation scholars on securitization and desecuritization studies, the authors generate a theory-based model of détente for dyads. This analytical tool contributes to the study of the dissolution of historically grown, mutual (re-)securitization processes in interstate relations. By clarifying the impact and functioning of the four desecuritizing modes (replacement, silencing, change through stabilization, and rearticulation), our model allows us to trace dynamics of change and assess the sustainability of détente. Especially mutual desecuritization as rearticulation has the potential to substantially change the self-other relation with effects on the social structure of a foreign policy dyad. The heuristic case study of US-Cuban relations serves as a prime example of a complex dyad of enmity which became a subject of change due to the Obama–Castro diplomacy in 2014. The study on US-Cuban foreign policy issues before and after 2014 helps to sharpen our understanding of dynamic securitization and desecuritization processes. The overall analysis demonstrates that the modes of desecuritization during the Obama–Castro diplomacy lifted the process of détente to a new and unprecedented level.

The study theoretically refers to the distinction of populism through and by the media, which has been discussed to a great extent in populist political communication research. Empirically, the author focuses on visual representations of politicians on the covers of the German news weekly Der Spiegel as well as those of Compact – a far-right alternative magazine. The article argues that political magazines contribute to how the political is imagined, particularly by the visual messages they convey via their front pages. An image type analysis of both magazines’ covers between 2010 and 2020 is conducted (N = 103) in order to explore patterns in the visual representations of German politicians disseminated by the magazines. On the one hand, the comparison of a mainstream and far-right alternative medium enriches the theoretical debate of how populism is strengthened by opportunity structures through the media. On the other hand, the issue of how populism is actively promoted by the media is addressed.

The Modified Taungya System (MTS) is one of such programmes introduced in Ghana to address socio-economically-induced degradation of forest reserves. For two decades since its establishment, there has not been any examination of  a synthesised findings on the MTS and their implication for the prospects of the programme. Using the PRISMA method to select empirical studies, this article examines the state of reforestation under the MTS by reflecting on the conditions of success and failures of the programme. In doing so, two interrelated arguments are advanced. First, the MTS seems to be successful when farmers are well-educated about the programme and their future benefits in the reserves that they enrich. Second, the MTS has largely failed to achieve its full potentials for forest recovery due to bribery, corruption and nepotism that have bedevilled land demarcation to, and delays in signing benefit sharing agreement with, farmers. There is a need for a thorough sensitisation on the MTS to enhance its transparency. Besides, the MTS needs to be remodified if it would be one of the strategies to contribute to the Bonn Challenge and for a durable climate mitigation.

Ghana has established a people-centred reforestation programme known as the Modified Taunya System (MTS) where local people are assigned degraded forest reserves to practice agroforestry. Given that the MTS is a people-centred initiative, socioeconomic factors are likely to have impact on the reforestation drive. This study aims to understand the role of translocal practices of remittances and visits by migrants on the MTS. Using multi-sited, sequential explanatory mixed methods and the lens of socioecological systems, the study shows that social capital and socioeconomic obligations of cash remittances from, as well as visits by migrants to their communities of origin play positive roles on reforestation under the MTS. Specifically, translocal households have access to, and use remittances to engage relatively better in the MTS than households that do not receive remittances. This shows that translocal practices can have a positive impact on the environment at the area of origin of migrants where there are people-centred environmental policies in place.

In March 2023, a student field research field research project was conducted in Amedzofe as part of the international research project “Migration and Translocality in West Africa”, shedding light on various aspects of rural life through the lens of translocality. The field research aimed to address a wide range of topics related to rural livelihoods, focusing on migration and translocal aspects of everyday life. Six working groups embarked on a 10-day field research journey, employing mixed methods encompassing both quantitative and qualitative approaches. This extensive fieldwork followed a semester of intensive preparation, ensuring the thoroughness and depth of the study. The survey results were meticulously analysed and presented, providing valuable insights into the patterns, drivers and impacts of migration in the region. Additionally, the findings of the six working groups offered nuanced perspectives on various facets of rural life, including economic activities, social networks, cultural practices, education and gender aspects. This endeavour aims at fostering a deeper understanding of the complexities surrounding migration and translocality in rural Ghana. It is a testament to the dedication and vision of the late Prof. Dr. Malte Steinbrink, whose leadership and guidance were instrumental in the preparation and realisation of this study.

As yet, it is unknown whether the same is true for positive affect, and how inter-individual characteristics might predict these effects. Temporal binding, an implicit measure of the sense of agency, was measured in 59 participants before and after watching either an emotionally neutral film clip or a positive film clip with high or low arousal. Analyses included participants’ individual differences in subjective affective ratings, physiological arousal (pupillometry, skin conductance, heart rate), striatal dopamine levels via eye blink rates, and psychopathy. Linear mixed models showed that sexual arousal decreased temporal binding whereas calm pleasure had no facilitation effect on binding. Striatal dopamine levels were positively linked whereas subjective and physiological arousal may be negatively associated with binding towards actions. Psychopathic traits reduced the effect of high arousal on binding towards actions. These results provide evidence that individual differences influence the extent to which the temporal binding is affected by high arousing states with positive valence.

The GOP’s Discourse on the Russian War in Ukraine T1 - Ein Manchurian-Kandidat? Der Diskurs der Republikanischen Partei zu Russlands Krieg in der Ukraine JF - Politische Vierteljahresschrift (ISSN: 1862-2860) N2 - The United States has a longstanding tradition regarding its overall foreign policy, in the form of a bipartisan consensus. This includes—among other things—maintaining alliances and curbing the influence of rivals (e.g., Russia). Since this consensus has been in place, traditionally the Republican Party (GOP) has been especially intent on a less cooperative and more containing or deterring stance towards Russia. With former U.S. President Donald Trump, we can see a turning point in this behaviour by the GOP. Trump’s obvious admiration for Russian president Putin and his statements about Putin being overly favourable, while simultaneously questioning NATO and the United States’ commitment to defend Eastern European partners, show a distinctive shift in the GOP’s discourse. This renunciation has subsequently been picked up by parts of the Republican Party, rendering the bipartisan consensus a contested issue. The full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 now constitutes an important external shock influencing said discursive shift. By drawing on discourse-bound identity theory and discourse analysis, the GOP’s discourse regarding Russia and NATO is expected to have (substantially) changed in a kind of Zeitenwende —back towards the bipartisan consensus. This article will, therefore, analyse the statements of prominent Republicans after the Russian invasion, compare them to Trump’s positions on these issues, and identify whether the invasion serves as a formative event that creates an overall shift in rhetoric and positions. N2 - Die USA haben eine langanhaltende Tradition in ihrer allgemeinen Außenpolitik, in Form des sog. „bipartisan consensus“. Darin enthalten sind u. a. das Erhalten von Allianzen und die Einschränkung des Einflusses von Rivalen (bspw. Russlands). Seit dieser Konsens existiert, verfolgen die Republikaner traditionellerweise einen weniger kooperativen, eher einhegenden und abschreckenden Kurs gegenüber Russland. Mit dem früheren US-Präsidenten Trump kann man hier eine Wende im Verhalten der Partei erkennen. Die Verschiebung des Republikanischen Diskurses zeigt sich klar mit seiner offensichtlichen Bewunderung für Russlands Präsident Putin und seinen lobenden Aussagen über diesen, während er die NATO und die Verteidigungspflicht gegenüber osteuropäischen Partnern hinterfragt. Diese Abkehr von früheren Positionen wurde daraufhin von Teilen der Republikanischen Partei übernommen, wodurch der bisherige „bipartisan consensus“ contestet wird. Die russische Invasion der Ukraine im Februar 2022 stellt hierbei nun einen entscheidenden externen Schock dar, der diesen diskursiven Wandel beeinflussen kann. Unter der Einbeziehung der diskursgebundenen Identitätstheorie und einer Diskursanalyse wird davon ausgegangen, dass sich der Republikanische Diskurs zu Russland und der NATO (erheblich) gewandelt hat – zurück zum „bipartisan consensus“ in einer Art Zeitenwende . Dafür werden in diesem Artikel Aussagen relevanter Republikaner:innen nach der russischen Invasion analysiert, mit den Positionen Trumps zu diesen Themen verglichen und festgestellt, ob es sich demnach um ein formatives Ereignis handelt, durch das ein genereller Wandel in Rhetorik und Einstellungen entsteht.

Eine Bildtypenanalyse ergab zwar, dass die Bilder im erhobenen Datensatz die große Bedeutung bestätigen, die der Wahl in der Demokratie zukommt. Doch führt die in diesem Bereich neue Methode zu beachtlichen Differenzen verglichen mit den Ergebnissen standardisierter Umfragen. Der Mehrwert der Draw&Write -Technik zeigt sich darin, dass das Datenmaterial nicht nur die bekannten Kategorien der repräsentativen, direktdemokratischen, deliberativen oder demonstrativen Beteiligung spiegelt. Ein Teil der Zeichnungen wurde zwei weiteren Kategorien zugeordnet: 1) Klagen über empfundene Ohnmacht und Einflusslosigkeit angesichts eines repräsentativen Herrschaftssystems sowie 2) Appelle an Konsensfähigkeit und die Bereitschaft zur Verantwortungsübernahme als Bedingungen, die die Bürger:innen erfüllen müssen, wenn Beteiligung am politischen Prozess gelingen soll. Weiterhin ist das Ergebnis von großem Wert, weil das Zeichnen im Rahmen eines postalischen Surveys genutzt wurde. Ein Bias besteht lediglich hinsichtlich der Bildungsvariable, was aber auch bei der Anwendung offener Fragen zu erwarten wäre. N2 - In a Bavaria-wide postal survey, the target persons were asked to draw their idea of democracy using the Draw&Write technique. An image type analysis showed that the images in the collected data set confirm the great importance attached to voting in a democracy. However, the new method used in this area leads to considerable differences compared to the results of standardised surveys. The added value of the Draw&Write technique is demonstrated by the fact that the data material not only reflects the familiar categories of representative, direct-democratic, deliberative or demonstrative participation. Some of the drawings were assigned to two further categories: 1) complaints about perceived powerlessness and lack of influence in the face of a representative system of rule and 2) appeals for consensus and a willingness to take responsibility as conditions that citizens must fulfil if participation in the political process is to succeed. Furthermore, the result is of great value because the drawing task was used as part of a postal survey. There is only a bias with regard to the education variable, but this is also to be expected when using open-ended questions.

Drawn from all classes and originating in societal and political disenfranchisement, in Arendt's understanding they are rebellious nihilists who falsely believe they represent the people as a whole while they exclude any citizens who do not share their tribal nationalism and leader worshiping. Illuminating conditions of their emergence, Arendt also helps to elucidate what drives the populist crowds’ illusions about an uncompromising “sovereign will” they and their leaders claim to embody. Such illusions benefit from broader modern trends eroding differences between facts, opinion, truth, and lies. In public environments suffering from destabilized factual truths, organized lies can easily fill a political vacuum generated by crises of political modernity. Unpacking interrelated theoretical trajectories, it is argued that an Arendtian framework can significantly contribute to the study of present-day authoritarian populism.

Prior research, however, audited Yandex’s algorithms largely within Russia. In contrast, this study is the first to assess the role of Yandex’s web search algorithms as a resource for Russia’s informational influence abroad. To do so, we conduct a comparative algorithm audit of Google and Yandex in Belarus, examining the visibility and narratives of COVID-19-related conspiracy theories in their search results. By manually analysing the content of 1320 search results collected in mid-April to mid-May 2020, we find that, compared with Google, (1) Yandex retrieves significantly more conspiratorial content (2) that close to exclusively suspects US plotters to be behind the pandemic, even though the virus spread from the Chinese city of Wuhan across the globe.

However,instead of being bound directly with the response in a binary fashion, the context modulates the binary binding between thedistractor and response. This finding raises the questions of whether the context can also enter into a binary binding with theresponse, and if so, what determines the way of its integration. In order to resolve these questions, saliency of the contextwas manipulated in three experiments by changing the loudness (Experiment 1) and emotional valence (Experiment 2Aand 2B) of the context. All experiments implemented the four-alternative auditory negative priming paradigm introducedby Mayr and Buchner (2006, Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 32[4], 932–943).Results showed that the integration of context changed as a function of its saliency level. Specifically, the context of lowsaliency was not bound at all, the context of moderate saliency modulated the binary binding between the distractor andresponse, whereas the context of high saliency entered into a binary binding with the response. The current results extend aprevious finding by Hommel (2004, Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 8[11], 494–500) that there is a saliency threshold whichdetermines whether a stimulus is bound or not, by suggesting that a second threshold determines the specific structure (i.e.,binary vs. configural) of the resulting binding.

However, in times of increasing international conflicts and polarisation, such as the years leading up to the Russia’s war against Ukraine in 2022, migrant audiences find themselves in a situation when the coverage of national and international politics in the homeland and host country media can differ dramatically. Against this backdrop, this study investigated how Russian speakers living in Germany create and navigate their transnational news repertoires. Grounded in 42 semi-structured interviews with the Russian speakers of the 1 and 1.5 generations in Germany, conducted between May and October 2021, this article identifies three types of transnational news repertoires: (1) politically-motivated news repertoire, (2) truth seeking-motivated news repertoire and (3) situation-motivated news repertoire. The results show that all the news repertoires of all participants are transnational. I argue that in the context of international conflict, not only language but also the participants’ political beliefs play an essential role in their news choice. Future research on migrants in political communication should distinguish research not only along with the language of the media outlets but also along with the political ideologies that they project.

Evidence from two representative studies JF - Political Psychology N2 - This article calls for revisiting the predominant yet flawed nationalism-patriotism dichotomy, which has to date remained unchallenged. It advocates for a more nuanced triad: nationalism, exclusively referring to the nation; patriotism, revolving around the homeland; and democratic patriotism, with democracy as its object of attachment. This novel conceptual approach explicitly theorizes these three objects of attachment, which have hitherto rarely been considered. In so doing, the article synthesizes the field's predominant research traditions that have not been fully recognized as diverging nor been simultaneously investigated. By responding to calls for more theoretically robust measures, it not only makes a theoretical but also an empirical contribution to the field. Drawing on data from a representative sample (N = 1875) in Germany in 2022, the study introduces a three-factor measurement model of nationalism, patriotism, and democratic patriotism. Taking into account both the antecedents of the triad and its impact on outgroup hostility, the measures are further validated. To establish its applicability in non-German contexts, the model is additionally supported using data from a representative sample (N = 1164) in Denmark in 2022.

Pekrun et al., 2002; Pekrun & Perry, 2014). Forschungsergebnisse zeigen jedoch, dass positive Emotionen wie Lernfreude im Bildungsverlauf tendenziell abnehmen, während negative Emotionen wie Angst oder Langeweile zunehmend auftreten (Vierhaus et al., 2016). Trotz verschiedener theoretischer Ansätze zur Emotionsregulation und Emotionsintervention steckt die empirische Forschung in diesem Bereich noch in den Anfängen. Bestehende Interventionen konzentrieren sich hauptsächlich auf Prüfungsangst und stehen häufig vor Herausforderungen hinsichtlich ihrer nachhaltigen Wirksamkeit (z.B. Hagenauer, Klaß & Gläser-Zikuda, 2016) sowie ihrer praktischen Implementierbarkeit (z.B. Brandenberger, Hagenauer & Hascher, 2018). Die vorliegende Studie untersucht die Effekte einer Utility-Value-Intervention auf das situative, aufgabenbezogene emotionale Erleben von Studierenden. Da Value-Interventionen (z.B. Harackiewicz et al., 2014) auf eine Verbesserung der subjektiven Kontroll- und Wert-Einschätzungen von Leistungsaktivitäten durch wertinduktive Prompts abzielen, wurde auf Grundlage der Kontroll-Wert-Theorie (Pekrun, 2000, 2006) angenommen, dass sich diese Intervention über die Modulation von Kontroll- und Wert-Appraisals positiv auf die Entstehung von Leistungsemotionen auswirkt. Im Rahmen eines experimentellen Within-Subjects-Designs erhielten 312 Lehramtsstudierende aus zwei Online-Seminaren („Leistungsemotionen“ und „Klassenführung“) über den Verlauf eines Semesters jeweils drei Utility-Value-Treatments. Die Intervention umfasste sowohl direkte als auch indirekte Prompts: Erstere stellten mittels Advance Organizers die Relevanz der in der Lernaufgabe geförderten Kompetenzen explizit heraus, während Letztere in relevanzinduzierende Aufgaben eingebettet waren. In diesen Aufgaben entwickelten die Studierenden durch die Evaluation von Zitaten eigenständige Relevanzargumente (vgl. Gaspard et al., 2017). Zur Erfassung situativer Emotionen sowie von Valenz- und Kontrollkognitionen wurden Fragebögen sowohl zu Treatment- als auch zu Non-Treatment-Messzeitpunkten eingesetzt. Die Ergebnisse einer Conditional Process Analysis mit Mehrebenendaten (Hayes, 2018) offenbarten zeitabhängige Effekte: In der Substichprobe „Klassenführung“ wirkte sich das Treatment zu Beginn des Semesters zunächst negativ auf das emotionale Erleben aus, während es gegen Semesterende eine positive Wirkung entfaltete. In der Substichprobe „Leistungsemotionen“ zeigte sich hingegen ein gegensätzliches Muster. Darüber hinaus variierte der Mediationsprozess: Während in der Substichprobe „Klassenführung“ primär Valenzkognitionen zur Vermittlung der Effekte beitrugen, wurde in der Substichprobe „Leistungsemotionen“ eine Mediation über Kontrollkognitionen beobachtet. Die Befunde verdeutlichen die Relevanz kontextueller Faktoren für die Wirksamkeit einer Utility-Value-Intervention zur Förderung des situativen emotionalen Erlebens und liefern wertvolle Impulse für die Weiterentwicklung zielgerichteter Interventionsstrategien. N2 - Emotions play a crucial role in motivation, performance, and successful learning (e.g., Pekrun et al., 2002; Pekrun & Perry, 2014). However, research indicates that while positive academic emotions (e.g., enjoyment of learning) tend to decline over time, negative emotions (e.g., test anxiety, boredom) increase (Vierhaus et al., 2016). Despite various theoretical approaches to emotion regulation and emotion interventions, empirical research in this field is still in its early stages. Existing interventions primarily target test anxiety and often face challenges regarding long-term effectiveness (e.g., Hagenauer, Klaß & Gläser-Zikuda, 2016) and practical implementation (e.g., Brandenberger, Hagenauer & Hascher, 2018). This study explores the impact of a utility-value intervention on students' situational, task-related emotions by fostering subjective control and value appraisals during learning tasks. Following the Control-Value Theory of Achievement Emotions (Pekrun, 2000, 2006), it was hypothesized that integrating value-inducing prompts into learning tasks would influence students’ emotional experiences. An experimental study with a within-subjects design was conducted with 321 pre-service teachers enrolled in two online courses ("Achievement Emotions" and "Classroom Management"). Participants received three Utility-Value Treatments throughout the semester, incorporating both direct and indirect prompts. The direct prompts were provided through advance organizers, which explicitly highlighted the relevance of the targeted competencies in the learning task. Indirect prompts were embedded in relevance-inducing tasks that encouraged students to self-generate relevance arguments by evaluating quotations (see Gaspard et al., 2017). Situational emotions, value appraisals, and control appraisals were assessed via questionnaires at treatment and non-treatment measurement points. Results from a Conditional Process Analysis (Hayes, 2018) with multilevel data revealed time-dependent effects: In the "Classroom Management" course, emotions were initially more negative during the intervention but were reported as more positive at later measurement points, while the "Achievement Emotions" course showed the opposite pattern. The mediation mechanisms also differed: Value appraisals played a stronger role in the "Classroom Management" group, whereas control appraisals mediated effects in the "Achievement Emotions" group. These findings underscore the significance of contextual factors in the efficacy of value interventions for fostering situational, task-related emotions and suggest directions for future research to further strengthen empirical evidence and refine intervention strategies.

Gesellschaftliche Transformation, autonome Materialität und der Fall des Digital Farming JF - Berliner Journal für Soziologie N2 - Nachhaltigkeit und Digitalisierung sind zwei Tendenzen gesellschaftlichen Wandels, die in verschiedene Richtungen weisen. Nachhaltigkeit wird als angestrebte, jedoch im Ergebnis unzureichend bleibende Veränderung gesehen, während Digitalisierung – erwünscht oder auch nicht – schlicht erfolgt. Diese Diskrepanz zu untersuchen, ist eine Herausforderung auch für die soziologische Theorie. Nachdem Nachhaltigkeit und Digitalisierung bislang meist unabhängig voneinander in den Blick genommen wurden, erlaubt eine materialitätstheoretisch erweiterte Gesellschaftstheorie ein soziologisches Zusammendenken und eine Erklärung für die Unterschiedlichkeit der Dynamiken gesellschaftlichen Wandels: In der spezifischen, nämlich autonomen Materialität der modernen Gesellschaft ist Digitalisierung bereits angelegt, während eine nachhaltige Entwicklung eine Transformation dieser Materialität selbst erfordert. Am Fallbeispiel des Digital Farming wird diese These näher ausgeführt.

Städte müssen auf die zunehmenden Verkehrsbelastungen und Umweltprobleme reagieren, wobei der Fahrradverkehr als eine umweltfreundliche Alternative eine wichtige Rolle einnimmt. In diesem Kontext richtet sich die Aufmerksamkeit dieser Arbeit auf Gunzenhausen, eine Stadt im Fränkischen Seenland, die sich bereits seit Jahren aktiv darum bemüht, ihre Fahrradfreundlichkeit zu verbessern. Die im Rahmen dieser Untersuchung durch geführten Umfrage konzentriert sich auf die unterschiedliche Wahrnehmung der Fahrradfreundlichkeit zwischen Einheimischen und Touristen. Dabei ist von Interesse, ob und in welchem Ausmaß diese beiden Gruppen Unterschiede in ihrer Wahrnehmung der Fahrradfreundlichkeit in Gunzenhausen aufweisen. Die Analyse der Ergebnisse macht differierende Ansichten zwischen Einheimischen und Touristen hinsichtlich der Fahrradfreundlichkeit sichtbar. Diese Unterschiede reflektieren individuelle Perspektiven und Erfahrungen, die relevante Konsequenzen für zukünftige Stadtentwicklung darstellen können. Trotz eher geringer Unterschiede ist es wichtig, diese verschiedenen Sichtweisen zu berücksichtigen, um eine weitere Auseinanderentwicklung zu vermeiden. Die gewonnenen Erkenntnisse betonen die Notwendigkeit, ebendiese Unterschiede genauer zu erforschen, um die Fahrradfreundlichkeit in Gunzenhausen zu verbessern und die Ansichten von Einheimischen und Touristen sogar angleichen zu können. Im Kontext der globalen Entwicklung hin zu nachhaltigen Verkehrsmitteln und umweltfreundlichen Mobilitätslösungen gewinnt die Analyse der Fahrradfreundlichkeit in Städten wie Gunzenhausen immer mehr an Relevanz. Die Ergebnisse und die daraus folgenden Erkenntnisse dieser Untersuchung können als Grundlage für eine an den Bedürfnissen verschiedener Bevölkerungsgruppen ausgerichtete Stadtentwicklung dienen. Sowohl die Zukunft des Radfahrens als Verkehrsmittel als auch die Erhaltung und Erweiterung seiner Attraktivität bleiben in Bezug auf die Anpassung städtischer Infrastrukturen weiterhin von Interesse. Die Berücksichtigung unterschiedlicher Perspektiven, wie die für diese Arbeit ausgewählten, kann dabei helfen, eine umfassendere Mobilitätsstrategie zu entwickeln, die die Stadt Gunzenhausen und ähnliche Gebiete umweltfreundlicher und auch lebenswerter gestaltet.

Stemming from my curiosity about this statement and what it meant for different actors in the regional organic agri-food networks, this research explores the interconnected lives and livelihoods of organic farmers and activists in Tamil Nadu. To engage with the social dynamics of these agri-food networks, the research focuses in on the role of the affective, feeling body. The emphasis on affect emerged in the form of memories, emotions and visceral experience, from empirical data collected between 2020 and 2022. And as the thesis demonstrates, affective dimensions, or what moves people, are important because, unlike economic, statistical or structural perspectives, they make visible the ways different actors feel socio-ecological change. Adopting the lens of Feminist Political Ecology and drawing on the fields of historical anthropology and feminist ethics, this thesis highlights: (1) the enduring nature of epistemic injustice within agri-food relations, (2) how social boundaries are built, maintained and remade through affective encounters, circumscribing what I call the ‘affective roots’ of socio-ecological change and (3) how ambiguous affective relations co-constitute organic agri-food networks, shaping anxious environmental subjectivities, that stem from socially mediated encounters with agro-chemicals, the market, the landscape and the other. Deepening our understanding of socio-ecological and agrarian change through empirical inquiry into how people feel matters, I argue, because it sheds light on injustices that are often concealed beneath the clouds of crisis.

The thesis consists of five publications (four of them published in double-blind peer reviewed journals) and of an introductory chapter that presents the overall argument and contextualises the publications. Two publications argue that mass atrocities are silenced, or at least not politicised, in the discourses and debates of Germany as an exemplary UN member state. It is argued that ‘silencing’ is a structural feature of an ‘identity-mismatch’ with the domestic ideational structure that inhibits debates and freezes the possibility space for foreign policy. Empirically, the first publication assesses the rhetoric of the German chancellor, foreign ministers and parliamentary group leaders vis-à-vis the mass atrocities committed in Yemen, Myanmar and South Sudan. The second publication widens the scope and looks at German political, media and societal debates in twelve cases of mass atrocities between 1992 and 2019. The remaining three publications focus on the topic of safe areas. The first publication systematically collects and assesses the existing conceptual literature on safe areas. The second publication presents a comprehensive definition, a four-fold typology based on a distinction by size and the logic of protection as well as an extensive empirical dataset of safe areas. By analysing case studies from Iraq and South Sudan, the third publication argues that safe areas have a very limited potential to provide an alternative to flight, especially from the perspective of the protection-seeking civilians themselves.

A comparative case study in eastern and northern Ghana N2 - Academic studies and media reports have pointed to climate change as a dominant factor responsible for future mass migrations from and within the Global South. In response to the deterministic nature of their estimates and predictions, this research explores the link that migrants establish between the environmental changes they experience and migration as a climate adaptation strategy. Furthermore, the overlaps between the profile and migratory behavior of those who manifest a greater presence of climate change in their migratory processes and their counterparts are analysed to identify potential unique climate migration patterns and practices. The quantitative analysis of data gathered in the context of the Mitra|WA project in Ghana's Eastern and Northern Regions in 2022 reveals that, while migration is not predominantly propelled by climate change climate, it does not constitute a new form of mobility demarcated from existing migration patterns and practices. This paper provides an opportunity to redirect future research towards the factors that determine the agency of individuals in response to climate hazards and to explore the role of climate change in a set of drivers of migration in a West African setting.

While these grassroots movements emerged under an authoritarian government that showed little interest in organic agriculture, the turn of the 21st century saw the rapid involvement of the Indonesian government in supporting, regulating and, arguably, commodifying organic agriculture. Institutionalization triggered diverse responses from competing organic actors, reflecting their different standpoints and knowledges. In this context, a transdisciplinary approach is deemed suitable to provide context-specific insights into organic agriculture. This dissertation draws on anthropology and Science and Technology Studies (STS) to explore the politics of knowledge of organic agriculture in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, as a contribution to a critique of transdisciplinarity. My interest on the hierarchization of different knowledges is inspired by the work of anthropologists of knowledge that asks how the communities they study construct knowledge and how they themselves construct knowledge about these communities. Since transdisciplinary knowledge is co-produced by science and society and reflects their embedded power relations, transdisciplinary research needs to be open to different interpretations, and reflexive towards the unequal distribution of resources, accountability, and responsibility. By linking these two lines of thought, I examine the making of knowledges through reflexive transdisciplinary work. I reflect on how “epistemic living space” (Felt 2009) and “co-presence” (Chua 2015) affect research and shape the politics of knowledge of organic agriculture in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. I argue that the hierarchization of different knowledges of organic agriculture was intertwined with my shifting positionalities, as a field researcher in Indonesia and PhD student at Passau University, as I moved between these two different “field sites”. This cumulative dissertation is divided into two parts. In Part I, “Knowledge in the making”, I present my contributions towards transdisciplinary knowledge production and politics of knowledge of organic agriculture. Part II, “Publications”, comprises the three stand-alone papers. The first contribution is my formulation of the notion of knowledge in the making. The second is my exploration of the ways that reflexive transdisciplinary work, and living and intersubjective experience shape knowledge in the making. The third is my demonstration of how an understanding of knowledge in the making sheds lights on the politics of knowledge of organic agriculture. This approach serves to examine the politics involved in synthesizing the conceptualizations of organic agriculture employed by different actors into one overarching narrative, such as sustainable agriculture or alternative agriculture. My final contribution is the notion of transdisciplinary moments, a conceptualization of transdisciplinary research practice that accounts for the politics of knowledge in which both scientific and extra-scientific actors are embedded. As a conclusion, I share the lessons learned from pursuing a PhD as a cumulative dissertation in an unstructured setting within a German–Indonesian research project on Indonesian organic agriculture. Finally, I identify bodies of literature and strands of thinking for future engagement within transdisciplinary research and discuss their potential to contribute to radical change in the institutional and value structures of contemporary academia.

ED - Ungruhe, Christian ED - Wehner, Stefanie T1 - Does translocality influence climate change adaption of rural farming households? : evidence from Arochukwu, southeast Nigeria N2 - Impacts of climate change are a burden for many rural communities in the global south, and particularly affect vulnerable farming households, that depend on agriculture for their sustenance. Understanding how vulnerable rural migrant households respond to this, from a translocal perspective can help to build households’ resilience to climate change. While studies in Nigeria have assessed the impact of migration as a means of adaptation, studies assessing the influence of vulnerable households, using this approach is limited. This study therefore assessed how translocality influence adaptation to climate change, for vulnerable rural households in Arochukwu, southeast Nigeria. To achieve this objective, a multistage purposive random sampling technique was used to collect data from rural farm households. Primary data were collected from the households in the Area of Origin (AoO) and Area of Destination (AoD) using survey and interviews, and analysed using mixed methods analysis. Results indicate that rainfall variability and high temperature are the most risks encountered, resulting in crop losses. As a means of adaptation, migrant and non-migrant households engage in off-season migration to urban and rural areas, with more migrant households engaging in off-season rural-urban and rural-rural migration. Among migrant households, flow of resources occur, with the type of item determining the medium of exchange; while households in the AoO pay less attention to agricultural investment. Migrant and non-migrant households also differ significantly in terms of the number of adaptation measures employed. Findings from the empirical analysis on the influence of translocality on adaptation indicate that, perception of climate change, household size, and the transfer of ideas, knowledge, and innovation by migrants to their households in the AoO significantly influence adaptation of rural farming households. The research makes a case for consideration of translocality in national adaptation plans, aimed at building resilience of rural households in Southeast Nigeria.

To fill in this gap, this study leverages an affect-theoretically informed reformulation of Essed’s (1991, Understanding Everyday Racism: An Interdisciplinary Theory. London: Sage) classic concept of ‘comprehension of racism’ to investigate how individuals understand and make sense of experiences of ethnoracial exclusion. Empirically, the article analyses 419 experiences/incidents of ethnoracial exclusion reported in 66 semi-structured interviews with highly educated, second and 1.75 generation immigrants representing three ‘groups’ of Germans who (may) experience exclusion due to their migrant background: Germans of Polish migrant background, Black Germans and Germans of Turkish migrant background. The study identifies three modes by which interviewees talked about exclusionary experiences/incidents: (1) by normalisation (interpreting an experience/incident as ‘normal’), (2) by categorisation (identifying an experience/incident as, e.g. ‘racist’, ‘discriminatory’, or ‘disadvantaging’) or (3) by indicating feelings of unease. For each of the three modes, the article outlines the role of affects and emotions in interviewees’ narratives, provides insight into the types of experiences/incidents for which the modes were used and highlights differences between the three groups of respondents.

This paper aims to provide explanations for the frequently observed ineffectiveness of Holocaust education in reducing antisemitism by examining two cases that are in many ways diametrically opposed: Scotland as a former part of the Allied Forces and Austria as a post-Nazi state. The case studies focus on overlapping, contrasting and conflicting understandings of Holocaust education and the role of antisemitism within it. The perspective is primarily sociological, inspired by Critical Theory. Evidence is based on research papers and basic documents from the field of Holocaust education (curricula, websites of key actors and educational materials). It is interpreted according to the principles of qualitative content analysis. Findings suggest that in both cases opportunities to address and reduce antisemitism are being missed: In the Scottish case, the teaching of the Holocaust tends to downplay the specific Jewish experience and largely fails to address antisemitism, or does so in a very simplistic way. In the Austrian case, antisemitism is talked about, but in the context of widespread secondary antisemitism it risks being explained and understood in ways that are themselves antisemitic.

We make three key arguments: (1) the SEA Games have provided member countries with a means to signal national progress and membership of the regional community, as well as to define and delineate this region; (2) the SEA Games have evolved parallel to the region’s political grouping, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), but with important differences as well as similarities; and (3) the regional perspective of the SEA Games offers insights that blur the distinction in recent scholarship between traditional ‘sports diplomacy’ (foregrounding the state) and ‘international-sport-as-diplomacy’ (foregrounding non-state actors).

Despite their divergences, Lukács’s conception of the proletariat as ‘identical subject-object of history’ and Adorno’s diagnosis of ‘the end of psychology’ in the authoritarian masses seem to converge on a similar outcome. Through opposite paths, they both culminate in the elimination of the subject-object distinction, leading the critique of reification to a political impasse. However, this alternative is rooted in partial interpretations of Lukács’s and Adorno’s arguments. As I contend, one can reconstruct Lukács’s analysis in a way that portrays emancipatory subjectivity not as hostile to otherness but as driven by the material limits of reification, or what Adorno termed the non-identical. Correspondingly, in light of Lukács, Adorno’s diagnosis can be read in a way that the end of psychology, far from negating the possibility of emancipation, serves as its driving force.

In this study, we expand the universe of scrutinized accounts with the most-followed non-legacy-news accounts (>100,000 followers) that regularly publish what we theorize to be ‘explicitly political content’ (EPC; N = 355). We delineate a typology of six types of EPC accounts, calculate their aggregate follower counts, and determine how many of them were still (1) accessible from Russia and (2) publishing Kremlin-critical content in October 2022. Our findings indicate that non-critical accounts attracted 26 times more followers than Kremlin-critical accounts. Entertainment-focused EPC accounts had seven times more followers than legacy-news accounts. As a result, they became the primary means through which non-critical EPC reached news-avoidant mass audiences. We identify three dimensions through which autocrats can interweave propaganda and entertainment and highlight promising research paths.

Anhand qualitativer Interviewdaten zeigen wir, wie dieser pandemiebedingte „Grenzschock“ aufgenommen und der grenzüberschreitende politische und soziale Zusammenhalt auf die Probe gestellt wurde, wie aber auch die Zusammenarbeit nach einer Zeit der Irritation an die neue Situation angepasst werden konnte. Dabei befand sich die grenzüberschreitende Zusammenarbeit in dieser Zeit in einem Spannungsfeld zwischen politisch-administrativen Vorgaben der jeweiligen nationalen Zentren und den lokal spezifischen Anforderungen einer peripher gelegenen Grenzregion. Die Daten zeigen, dass die Akteur*innen in der Oberrheinregion bei der Überwindung dieses „Grenzschocks“ auf langjährig etablierte Strukturen und Erfahrungen in der grenzüberschreitenden Zusammenarbeit zurückgreifen konnten. Die Erfahrungen während der Pandemie sorgten dabei zudem für neue Impulse für die grenzüberschreitende Zusammenarbeit in der Oberrheinregion und stärkten den politischen Willen dafür auf verschiedenen Ebenen. Damit leistet der Artikel einen explorativen Beitrag zu den Auswirkungen der COVID-19-Pandemie auf Grenzregionen. N2 - Taking the trinational Upper Rhine region as an example, this article explores the ways in which the border closures implemented in the course of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and the associated border experiences have affected cross-border relations of local actors in politics, economy, and society. Using qualitative interview data, we show how this pandemic-related “border shock” was received and how cross-border political and social cohesion was put to the test, but also how cooperation was able to adapt to the new situation after a period of confusion. At the same time, cross-border cooperation during this period was caught in the tension between the political-administrative guidelines of the respective national centers and the locally specific requirements of a peripherally located border region. The data show that the actors in the Upper Rhine region were able to draw on long-established structures and experience in cross-border cooperation to overcome this “border shock.” The experiences during the pandemic also provided new impulses for cross-border cooperation in the Upper Rhine region and strengthened the political will for this at various levels. Thus, the article makes an explorative contribution to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on border regions.

T1 - Transitionalists, traditionalists or pioneers? How German municipal energy companies are responding to the national energy transition JF - Energy Research & Social Science (Online ISSN: 2214-6326) N2 - The Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG) in Germany aims to transition the country to a sustainable energy system. This has led to a decentralization of the energy market and a shift toward community-focused energy supply systems. Municipal energy companies (MECs), deeply rooted in their communities, are crucial in facilitating this transition and promoting innovative technologies. Websites serve as important communication tools, facilitating interaction between companies and consumers. In our study, we conducted a quantitative content analysis to examine how MECs communicate issues related to the energy transition on their web pages (N = 300). In general, our results show that the energy transition was rarely mentioned on landing pages, and while companies are improving their sustainable electricity products, renewable gas and heating tariffs have received little attention. Additionally, we identified three communication types of MECs: The transitionalists (45 %), the traditionalists (35 %), and the pioneers (20 %), with the latter being the most innovative that emphasizes issues related to the energy transition. Overall, it can be said that the MECs have not yet fully exploited their potential to position themselves as pioneers of the energy transition in their website communications.

So far, research focused on the practicality, feasibility or description of the development. To provide a more comprehensive understanding to mechanisms within this instructional approach, it is valuable to examine it through the lens of established and well-researched theories and approaches of teaching and learning. Therefore, we identified which theoretical foundations were used in research on Escape Rooms as learning tools and took a look at the extent to which and where they are represented. For this purpose, a systematic review was conducted, which resulted in the identification of 24 articles containing a total of nine theoretical foundations. It is presented how these approaches are applied in EERs and how they are interrelated. Furthermore, we developed six patterns that illustrate the integration of the found theories into the articles. The integration of these theoretical approaches ranges from general statements on theoretical grounding in EERs without connection to didactic considerations to theoretical grounding with empirical validation. Result of the systematic review is that the theoretical foundation in current research on EERs is weak. Therefore, it is argued that future research should focus more on the interweaving of theory, didactic instructions, and practice to gain a better understanding of mechanisms behind successful learning environments with EERs.

BT - Comparing Covid-19 conspiracy theories in Google search results across five key target countries of Russia’s foreign communication JF - Information, Communication & Society N2 - This article advances extant research that has audited search algorithms for misinformation in four respects. Firstly, this is the first misinformation audit not to implement a national but a cross-national research design. Secondly, it retrieves results not in response to the most popular query terms. Instead, it theorizes two semantic dimensions of search terms and illustrates how they impact the number of misinformative results returned. Furthermore, the analysis not only captures the mere presence of misinformative content but in addition whether the source websites are affiliated with a key misinformation actor (Russia’s ruling elites) and whom the conspiracy narratives cast as the malicious plotters. Empirically, the audit compares Covid-19 conspiracy theories in Google search results across 5 key target countries of Russia’s foreign communication (Belarus, Estonia, Germany, Ukraine, and the US) and Russia as of November 2020 (N = 5280 search results). It finds that, across all countries, primarily content published by mass media organizations rendered conspiracy theories visible in search results. Conspiratorial content published on websites affiliated with Russia’s ruling elites was retrieved in the Belarusian, German and Russian contexts. Across all countries, the majority of conspiracy narratives suspected plotters from China. Malicious actors from the US were insinuated exclusively by sources affiliated with Russia’s elites. Overall, conspiracy narratives did not primarily deepen divides within but between national communities, since – across all countries – only plotters from beyond the national borders were blamed. To conclude, the article discusses methodological advice and promising paths of research for future cross-national search engine audits.

How German-Language Alternative Media Outlets Are Connected to Russia’s Ruling Elites JF - The International Journal of Press/Politics (ISSN: 1940-1620) N2 - Extant research on alternative media in Western democracies has focused on scrutinizing their content, organization, production, and audiences. However, the extent to which alternative outlets are linked to powerful foreign actors has not yet been analyzed, despite the fact that a plethora of outlets have openly sided with Russia after its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, spreading the Kremlin’s propagandistic narratives. To fill this gap, this study adopts a case study approach. It selects Germany as a revelatory case of a key target country of Russia’s foreign influence efforts, raising the question of how and to what extent German-language alternative media outlets are connected to Russia’s ruling elites. Grounded in qualitative analysis of a wide range of documents, this study proposes a categorization that divides the connections into three different types: organizational, media, and personal connections. Subsequently, it is demonstrated that half of the analyzed German-language alternative media outlets maintain at least one of these three types of connections to the Kremlin. These findings contribute to our knowledge of alternative media, as well as Russia’s overt and covert foreign influence operations, the so-called “active measures.” They also highlight the need for more transparency in alternative media landscapes in democratic contexts across the globe.

T1 - Seed catalogue of woody species from coastal Kenya N2 - Kenyan coastal forests harbor a high diversity of woody plants, comprising 88 families and 937 species. These species-rich forests are highly threatened by human disturbances, leading to forest degradation and habitat loss. To preserve this biodiversity, effective conservation strategies are essential. Conservation efforts may involve both site-based and species-based measures, including botanical surveys and seed collection for propagation in tree nurseries. The aim of this study was to develop a seed catalogue of woody species from coastal Kenya to support seed identification in the field and at various tree nurseries. So far, the catalogue characterizes seeds (and if available also fruits) of 69 woody species across 31 plant families. Each entry includes a brief description, size and weight measurements, and photographs to facilitate identification.

The model specifies individual and compensatory effects of conscientiousness and individual interest on academic effort. Aims This research piece examines the assumed relationships between the three core variables of the CONIC model. Samples The first study was conducted with 152 university students and the second study included 120 university students randomly distributed across two experimental conditions and one control condition. Methods In an initial modeling study, we investigated the model assumptions in two different learning contexts and tested them using structural equation modeling (SEM). In a subsequent experimental study, we manipulated the predictor variables of academic effort to either promote conscientious or interest-based learning. The group differences were examined using multigroup SEM. Results In the modeling study, interest was always and conscientiousness at least partially a positive and significant predictor of academic effort. A compensatory effect of interest and conscientiousness could not be found. In the experimental study, promoting conscientious learning resulted in interest showing up as a stronger predictor of academic effort. However, promoting interest-based learning crystallized conscientiousness as the stronger predictor of academic effort. Moreover, the compensatory effect of the two personality traits was significantly stronger in the groups where conscientiousness or interest-based learning was promoted than in the control group. Conclusions Results provide support for the CONIC model and particularly highlight the compensatory effects of conscientiousness and interest at the model's heart.

Zum anderen beleuchtet er die Eigenlogik politischer Entscheidungsprozesse, die durch die Notwendigkeit der Unsicherheitsabsorption und Systemstabilisierung geprägt sind und gegenüber externen Einflüssen als relativ immun erscheinen. Der Beitrag plädiert für eine differenzierte Betrachtung der Schnittstelle zwischen wissenschaftlicher Beratung und politischer Praxis und mahnt eine kritische Reflexion der Rolle und der Grenzen der wissenschaftsgestützten Politikberatung an. N2 - The comment critically examines Jörn Knobloch’s analysis of the COVID-19 pandemic management in Germany. It questions Knobloch’s claim that a more effective crisis management could have been achieved by giving greater consideration to social scientists in the relevant advisory committees. The reply focuses on the structural epistemic limits of both biomedical sciences and empirical social research. Furthermore, it highlights the inherent logic of political decision-making processes, which are characterized by the need for uncertainty absorption and system stabilization, and appear relatively immune to external influences. The contribution calls for a nuanced consideration of the interface between scientific advice and political practice, and urges a critical reflection on the role and limits of science-based policy advice.

To advance this strand of research, this study scrutinizes how an audience group with migration background, who lived the first part of their lives under authoritarian rule but then relocated to a democracy, negotiates trust in their multilingual, transnational news environments. Specifically, we conducted semi-structured interviews with forty-two Russian-speaking first-generation migrants living in Germany in 2021. As we find, distinct understandings of the concept of “truth” played a pivotal role in how our participants negotiated trust in their transnational news environments. We distinguish broadly two understandings of “truth”: (1) “truth” as a category grounded in factual evidence and (2) “truth” as a non-evidence based category grounded in values, emotions, or identities. Illustrative for the second understanding, some participants felt a strong moral obligation to believe Kremlin-sponsored media as they perceived these organizations as representing their homeland, independently of whether their news coverage was factually accurate or not. The two understandings of “truth” also affected how and where participants sought for what they considered the “truth.” In the “Discussion” section, we argue that particularly the non-evidence-based truth-understandings formulated by our participants, and the ensuing truth-seeking strategies are conducive to the reach and persuasive impact of Kremlin-sponsored content among Russian speakers living abroad.

This study investigates the effectiveness of integrative learning opportunities, called “digitally enhanced courses”, which combine subject-specific and digital learning objectives. Implemented at a German university (2019–2023). These courses aimed to promote digital competencies required for technology-supported teaching. Using survey data from 312 pre-service teachers, the research examined students’ self-assessed digital competencies, technology acceptance, and value–cost assessments through multiple measurement instruments, including TPACK scales, the Technology Acceptance Model, and Expectancy–Value beliefs. Results revealed significantly higher self-assessed digital competencies in private contexts compared to teaching situations. While mere course participation showed no significant impact, both the frequency and number of attended courses positively correlated with higher self-assessed digital skills across all TPACK dimensions. Additionally, increased technology acceptance and higher success expectations were associated with enhanced teaching-related digital competencies. The findings emphasize that the effectiveness of digitally enhanced courses is contingent upon systematic implementation and student engagement, highlighting the need for structured curricular integration of digital competency development in teacher education through comprehensive, spiral-curriculum approaches rather than isolated interventions. However, this study’s reliance on self-reported data may introduce social desirability and subjective estimation bias, and its cross-sectional design limits causal interpretations. Future research should employ longitudinal approaches to examine competency development over time, incorporate objective performance-based assessments, and explore how instructional design and curricular integration influence digital competency acquisition.

However, while this was one of the very few occasions on which an African footballer’s postcareer trajectory was a matter of public debate, it also revealed that former African professional footballers’ whereabouts, occupations, and living conditions are widely unknown and remain an underresearched topic.

Drawing from urban geography, political geography, international relations, and marketing theory, the study explores how mega-events contribute to the construction of national identity and global image. Using a mixed-methods approach, the research combines qualitative interviews with 16 international diplomats in Beijing and an online survey of 40 foreign journalists who lived and worked in China during the Olympiad. The analysis focuses on two dimensions of image: the city of Beijing and the nation of China. The findings indicate that the 2008 Summer Olympic Games did not fundamentally alter China's international image. While the event successfully projected an image of modernization, efficiency, and confidence, pre-existing concerns about political control and human rights persisted. For Beijing, the Olympics enhanced its visibility as a global city but also highlighted tensions between its traditional identity and its modern aspirations. The media's framing played a decisive role in shaping these perceptions. Overall, the study concludes that the Beijing Olympics functioned as a significant yet limited instrument of soft power. They reinforced China's global presence and urban development goals but fell short of transforming its international reputation. The research contributes to understanding how mega-events operate as strategic tools of geopolitical communication and branding in the context of globalization.

By contrast, little research has examined the global reach of Russia’s state-aligned domestic news content, specifically on US- and Russia-based social networking sites that significantly differ in the level of the Kremlin’s control over information flows, and how the activities of novel Russian disinformation production organizations support this reach. In my dissertation, I addressed these gaps in the extant research literature in the fields of political communication, social media, and Russia studies in four distinct research papers focusing on the reach of and engagement with Russian-speaking political content, including Russia’s domestic news content, and the activities of ANO Dialog, Russia’s novel disinformation production organization with close links to the Russian government, on US-based Facebook and Russia-based VK. To do so, I used innovative qualitative, quantitative, and computational research methods to create knowledge on Russia’s informational influence on the two platforms before and after the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. The findings highlight that, despite differing levels of Kremlin control, both of the social networking sites studied functioned as conduits for the dissemination of Russian-speaking, predominantly Kremlin-friendly political content, including state-aligned domestic news. This content reached audiences both within Russia and abroad in the lead-up to and during the full-scale war in Ukraine. While VK primarily served Russia’s users, Facebook disseminated Russia’s state-aligned news mostly to audiences outside Russia, particularly in former Soviet countries, in the lead-up to the invasion. During the war, Facebook continued to host critical perspectives on Russia’s war crimes, in contrast to VK, where such content was blocked. However, Facebook was banned in Russia in March 2022, limiting domestic access to dissenting views. With the war ongoing as of May 2025 and organizations such as ANO Dialog intensifying their efforts to influence both domestic and foreign audiences on platforms such as VK and Facebook, it is likely that Russia will further strengthen its information control.

Forty two interviews were conducted before of the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, and the other twenty nine right after its beginning (out of which I used only twenty five for the final analysis, as I focused only on the Russian speakers, associated with agressor or neutral countries in Russia’s war in Ukraine). The dissertation addresses a variety of issues, related to the media use of the Russian speakers in Germany, which was previously understudied both in general and from political communication perspective (Panagiotidis, 2023). In the strand of migrants and media research, scholars point the following gaps: the lack of political element in studies of how migrants use media (Leurs and Smets, 2018), the lack of studies how homeland and host society media are used simultaneously, not in isolation from each other, and the lack of studies on the influence of homeland media on migrants as such (Ramasubramanian et al., 2017), and finally, communication scholars not using migration studies frameworks in their research on migrants, which leads to fields existing in parallel (Leurs & Smets 2018). This dissertation addresses all these gaps. Being the first study to apply the concepts of “news repertoires” and the latest theorization of “news literacy” for studying the migrant populations, as well as looking in-depth in the mechanisms of trust, I analyze the media diets of Russian speakers in Germany in their entirety, considering the contexts and roles, attributed to the German quality, Russian opposition, Russian state sponsored and other types of media, i.e. not analying them in isolation, and also looking at the motivations to use different media for different domains of their lives. Besides, for analysing the transformations of media diets of the Russian speakers in the aftermath of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, I use the concept of “sense of belonging” to Russia to examine the deep, underlying reasons for why news repertoires of these audiences changed, or did not change in the light of Russia’s war crimes. As for the contribution to the German-language and Germany-focused literature on the Russian speakers, this is the first comprehensive study to scrutinize the media diets of Russian speakers in-depth with a special emphasis on their motivations, political affiliations and differentiating between the media these audiences “use” and the media they “trust”, as previous research on Russian speakers in Germany and their media use was largely focused on integration, largely ignoring the political aspect and Russia’s repetitive attempts to influence Russian speakers abroad (e.g.Hepp et al., 2011) or lacked nuance in their results (e.g. Boris Nemtsov Foundation Survey, which posed questions about “Russian media” without defining what it is, i.e. is that opposition media, Kremlin-sponsored media, etc. Finally, this thesis provides a comprehensive case study of audiences from an authoritarian context (or a former authoritarian context, for those, who migrated from Ukraine, but were socialized in the Soviet Union) who migrated to democracy and their media use, and also sheds light on the spectrum of motivations of audiences abroad to continue consuming media from an authoritarian homeland (in our case, Kremlin-sponsored media), which can provide important foundation for future research on other migrant groups from authoritarian contexts in democracies, such as Chinese migrants in Europe. Among the results of the present dissertation is an article on three types of news repertoires that these audiences have, and how political beliefs underpin them; an article on how they view the “truth” in media and why it is a concept of crucial importance for their news trust patterns; an article on news literacy and how migrant audiences need transnational news literacy knowledge in order to navigate complex media landscapes, in which authoritarian states actively try to reach them with their narratives; and finally, how a major crisis event, such as war in Ukraine, changed (or did not change) the news repertoires of the Russian speaking audiences in Germany and why the “sense of belonging” is at the core of these changes.

A bi-local survey was conducted to collect data on households and migrants in the area of origin (AoO) and individuals in the area of destination (AoD). The survey at the AoO was conducted in two research areas (Gushiegu Municipal District in the Northern Region and Fanteakwa District in the Eastern Region). Thesample then covered 75% migrant households and 25% non-migrant households, both randomly selected. The collected data provides information on almost 1,000 migrants and 2,000 non-migrants. Since Greater Accra Region was identified as one major destination, this region was selected as an Area of Destination. In Accra, 50 migrants from Eastern and Northern Region each were randomly selected from the previous survey database. The perception of migrant households and migrants themselves on migration was assessed using descriptive statistics. Over 95% said migration is essential to secure their livelihood and that migration improves the standard of living of the households. The study elucidates the challenges encountered by rural households in agriculture and the strategies implemented to address these issues. The predominant challenges confronting farmers include the escalating costs of agricultural inputs, the prevalence of pests and diseases, and fluctuations in environmental conditions. Moreover, the research highlights robust translocal networks that extend beyond mere financial remittances, encompassing an intangible web of communication, emotions, and aspirations. By traversing spatial and gender dimensions, the study unveils the extensive diversity of migration aspects, demonstrating that migration exerts markedly different impacts on women compared to men and has varying implications for households in the Northern Region versus the Eastern Region. It is evident that female migrants from Northern Ghana constitute the most vulnerable group, grappling with severe food insecurity. In contrast, translocal networks in the Eastern Region facilitate families in leveraging remittances for diversification of their economic base, thereby enhancing their capacity for future development, while those in the Northern region are essential for addressing the existential needs of families.
