Adaptability as a Special Demand on Open Educational Resources: The Cultural Context of e-Learning
(2011)
Producing and providing Open Educational Resources (OERs) is driven by the concepts of openness and sharing. Although there already are a lot of free high-quality resources available, practitioners often rather rewrite learning resources than creatively embed (and thus, reuse) existing OERs. In this paper, we analyse the reasons for this in two different educational contexts. As a result of this analysis, we found that the uncertainty on possible adaptation needs is one of the major barriers. In order to overcome this barrier and make different learning contexts comparable, we analysed the context of learners and in particular, in the research project ‘Learning Culture’, we investigated the field of culturally motivated expectations and attitudes of learners. This paper shows the results of this research project and discusses which cultural issues should be taken into consideration when OERs are to be adapted from one to another cultural context.
The development of pulmonary edema can be considered as a combination of alveolar flooding via increased fluid filtration, impaired alveolar-capillary barrier integrity, and disturbed resolution due to decreased alveolar fluid clearance. An important mechanism regulating alveolar fluid clearance is sodium transport across the alveolar epithelium. Transepithelial sodium transport is largely dependent on the activity of sodium channels in alveolar epithelial cells. This paper describes how sodium channels contribute to alveolar fluid clearance under physiological conditions and how deregulation of sodium channel activity might contribute to the pathogenesis of lung diseases associated with pulmonary edema. Furthermore, sodium channels as putative molecular targets for the treatment of pulmonary edema are discussed.
In an explorative study, we investigated on German schoolteachers how they use, reuse, produce and manage Open Educational Resources. The main questions in this research have been, what their motivators and barriers are in their use of Open Educational Resources, what others can learn from their Open Educational Practices, and what we can do to raise the dissemination level of OER in schools.
Die Zukunft der CCS-Technologie ist maßgeblich von den Entwicklungsmöglichkeiten abhängig, die ihr der Gesetzgeber einräumt. Der von der Bundesregierung am 13.4.2011 beschlossene Gesetzentwurf geht mit großer Vorsicht an den Einsatz der CCS-Technologie heran. Die Entwicklung sowie die Planungs- und Investitionssicherheit haben gegenüber den Bedenken gegen die kurz- und langfristige Sicherheit der CO2-Speicherung zurückstecken müssen. Der nachfolgende Beitrag erläutert Rechtsprobleme der Genehmigung von CO2-Abscheidungsanlagen, Transportleitungen und Speichern sowie der Gefahrenvorsorge, -nachsorge und Haftung.
