THEORETISCHER HINTERGRUND Gute Beziehungen zur eigenen Lehrerin können sich positiv auf den Erfolg eines Schülers auswirken. Dieser Effekt kann mit Bowlby’s (1982) Bindungstheorie erklärt werden und wird empirisch immer wieder gestützt (z.B. Hamre & Pianta, 2001). Positive Lehrer-Schüler-Beziehungen zeichnen sich durch emotionale Wärme und Nähe aus; negative Aspekte durch Konflikt und Abhängigkeit. So stehen positive Lehrer-Schüler-Beziehungen nicht nur mit akademischen Leistungen in Verbindung, sondern auch mit einer Vielzahl anderer, wünschenswerter Schülerentwicklungen. Zahlreiche Meta-Analysen deuten auf signifikante Zusammenhänge zwischen Lehrer-Schüler-Beziehungen und schulischem Engagement, guten Beziehungen zu Gleichaltrigen, exekutiven Funktionen, allgemeinem Wohlbefinden und der Verringerung aggressiver oder störender Verhaltensweisen hin (Endedijk et al., 2021; Nurmi, 2012; Roorda et al., 2017; Vandenbroucke et al., 2018). Diese Befunde sind jedoch weit verstreut in der Literatur, sodass Forschungslücken unentdeckt bleiben. Auch unterscheiden sich bisherige Überblicksarbeiten in ihren Methoden und den gefundenen Zusammenhängen zwischen Lehrer-Schüler-Beziehungen und Ergebnisvariablen von Schüler*innen. Darüber hinaus ist die Literatur uneindeutig, welche Moderatoren (z.B. Alter oder Geschlecht) diese Beziehungen beeinflussen. Gleichzeitig variiert die Qualität der Meta-Analysen in diesem Feld merklich, was die Interpretation ihrer Ergebnisse erschweren kann. FRAGESTELLUNG Angesichts dieser Forschungslücken haben wir die meta-analytische Literatur systematisch durchsucht und zusammengefasst (Cooper & Koenka, 2012), um einen Überblick über Korrelate von Lehrer-Schüler-Beziehungen zu schaffen. Hierbei untersuchten wir drei Forschungsfragen 1. Inwieweit hängen akademische, verhaltensbezogene, sozio-emotionale, motivationale und kognitive Schülereigenschaften mit Lehrer-Schüler-Beziehungen in der meta-analytischen Literatur zusammen? 2. Welche Moderatoren beeinflussen diese Zusammenhänge? 3. Welche methodische Qualität haben die einbezogenen Meta-Analysen? METHODE Um diese Forschungsfragen zu beantworten, analysierten wir 24 Meta-Analysen, die rund 130 Effektstärken für über eine Million Schüler*innen umfassten. Nach der Präregistrierung erfolgte eine systematische Literatursuche. Während mehrerer Runden der Überprüfung mithilfe unserer Ein- und Ausschlusskriterien identifizierten wir 24 passende Meta-Analysen. Aus diesen Meta-Analysen extrahierten wir die Effektstärken zum Zusammenhang von Lehrer-Schüler-Beziehungen und akademische, verhaltensbezogene, sozio-emotionale, motivationale und allgemeine kognitive Schülereigenschaften. Für die Forschungsfragen 1 und 2 haben wir die Ergebnisse zusammengefasst und einen narrativen Überblick erarbeitet. Für Forschungsfrage 3 bewerteten wir die Qualität der Meta-Analysen mit Hilfe der AMSTAR-2 Skala (angepasst an korrelative Studien in der Psychologie und Bildungsforschung; Shea et al., 2017). ERGEBNISSE UND IHRE BEDEUTUNG Mit Blick auf die Lehrer-Schüler-Beziehungen werden unterschiedliche Ergebnisvariablen analysiert (Forschungsfrage 1). Die stärksten Zusammenhänge zeigten sich für Konflikt und Abhängigkeit in der Lehrer-Schüler-Beziehung mit Verhaltensproblemen der Schüler*innen (r = .35 bis .57; Nurmi, 2012). Positive Lehrer-Schüler-Beziehungen zeigte die stärkste Verbindung mit der Beteiligung in der Schule (r = .26 bis .34; Roorda et al., 2011), prosozialem, externalisierendem und internalisierendem Verhalten (r = .25; Endedijk et al., 2021) sowie mit Lernmotivation in Kombination mit Beteiligung der Schüler*innen (r = .23; Wang et al., 2020). Alter oder Klassenstufe waren die am häufigsten untersuchten Moderatoren mit teilweise gegenläufigen Befunden (Forschungsfrage 2). Geschlechterunterschiede wurden dagegen seltener festgestellt. Gleichzeitig wurde der Effekt der Informationsquelle häufig untersucht, d.h., ob und auf welche Weise Lehrkräfte, Gleichaltrige oder die Schüler*innen selbst die Lehrer-Schüler-Beziehung bewerteten. Für Forschunsgfrage 3 diskutieren wir die Qualitätsunterschiede der Meta-Analysen. Mit dem systematischen Review von Meta-Analysen fassen wir die Forschungslandschaft zu Korrelaten von Lehrer-Schüler-Beziehungen zusammen und zeigen, in welchem Zusammenhang diese mit Lehrer-Schüler-Beziehungen stehen. Unseren Ergebnissen folgend sollten Lehrkräfte für die Wirkung von Lehrer-Schüler-Beziehungen und deren Zusammenhängen sensibilisiert werden. Einige Interventionen zur Verbesserung von dieser wichtigen Beziehungen wurden bereits meta-analytisch mit vielversprechende Ergebnissen untersucht (Kincade et al., 2020). Ein nächster Schritt ist nun die experimentelle Überprüfung der gefundenen Korrelate, um positive Lehrer-Schüler-Beziehungen als wirksame Strategie zur Verbesserung von akademischen, verhaltensbezogenen, sozio-emotionalen, motivationalen und kognitiven Schülereigenschaften kausal zu bestätigen.

Zahlreiche Studien zeigen Zusammenhänge zwischen positiven Lehrer-Schüler-Beziehungen und Ergebnisvariablen im schulischen Kontext (z.B. Noten, wahrgenommene Leistung, soziales Verhalten, Lernmotivation; Givens Rolland, 2012; Korpershoek et al., 2016). Hierbei werden Lehrer-Schüler-Beziehungen ganz unterschiedlich konzeptualisiert: Während die Lehrer-Schüler-Interaktion vor allem den praktischen Austausch zwischen Lehrkraft und Schüler*in betrachtet (z.B. Beteiligung am Unterrichtsgespräch), verbindet die konstruktive Unterstützung durch die Lehrkraft unterrichtliche und inhaltliche Unterstützung mit der Wärme und Qualität der Lehrer-Schüler-Beziehung (vgl. Decristan et al., 2022; Endedijk et al., 2021; Hamre & Pianta, 2001). Beide Aspekte sind bedeutend für den schulischen Lernerfolg (Endedijk et al., 2021). Vor dem Hintergrund zahlreicher Befunde stellt sich die Frage der Generalisierbarkeit von Effekten positiver Lehrer-Schüler-Beziehungen und -Interaktionen: Profitieren alle Schüler*innen gleichermaßen von emotionaler Nähe und Freundlichkeit der Lehrkraft? Oder zeigen sich Unterschiede, beispielsweise zwischen Jungen und Mädchen oder Schüler*innen verschiedenen Alters, inwieweit sich positive Lehrer-Schüler-Beziehungen auf Ergebnisvariablen auswirken? Auch die meta-analytische Literatur ist sich in diesen Fragen teilweise uneins (vgl. Lei et al., 2016; Roorda et al., 2017). Offen bleibt zudem, welche Schüler*innen besondere Nachteile haben bei einer negativen Lehrer-Schüler-Beziehung (Nurmi, 2012). Unser Symposium zeichnet ein umfassendes Bild dieser wichtigen Beziehung und Interaktion im Herzen der schulischen Bildung anhand der Generalisierbarkeit gefundener Effekte: Der erste Beitrag (Emslander et al., 2023) vergleicht die Rolle der elterliche Unterstützung mit der Unterstützung durch die Lehrkraft auf die akademische Entwicklung der Schüler*innen. Die umfangreiche längsschnittliche Studie verwendet Daten von Haupt-, Real- und Mittelschulen über einen Zeitraum von vier Jahren in der Adoleszenz. Ein Augenmerk liegt auf Unterschieden in den Zusammenhängen zwischen der fünften und achten Klasse. Der zweite Beitrag untersucht den Einfluss der Fehlerkultur bei der Beteiligung am Unterrichtsgespräch. Mithilfe von Videodaten werden Unterrichtsstunden in Mathematik und Deutsch untersucht. Die Studie untersucht differenzielle Befunde der Zusammenhänge in Abhängigkeit des Selbstkonzepts und Migrationshintergrunds von Schüler*innen. Ein dritter Beitrag beschäftigt sich mit dem moderierenden Einfluss der Schülerwahrnehmung von konstruktiven Lehrkraftunterstützung in der Sekundarstufe und ihrem Zusammenhang zu mathematischen Selbstkonzept und Interesse. Das besondere Augenmerk dieser Studie liegt auf den Unterschieden in der Motivation von jungen Frauen und Männern für das Fach Mathematik. Abschließend bietet ein vierter Beitrag einen Überblick über Korrelate von Lehrer-Schüler-Beziehungen in der Literatur. Das systematische Review von Meta-Analysen illustriert Zusammenhänge, Moderatoren und Studienqualität auf dem Gebiet der Lehrer-Schüler-Beziehungen. Besonders werden Alter und Geschlecht der Schüler*innen ebenso wie wer die Lehrer-Schüler-Beziehung einschätzt kontrovers diskutiert. LITERATUR Decristan, J., Kunter, M., & Fauth, B. (2022).

This article focuses on a historical overview, criticism of solfège teaching and more accomplishable approaches to music education. When Guido of Arezzo came up with the invention of the line system and derived tone syllables from the first letters of St John's hymn just under a millennium ago, he laid the foundation for a new approach to musical education: he replaced stubborn memorisation of (church) chants with a learnable, mechanical reading technique. He probably could not have foreseen that after almost a thousand years, 'his' idea would still be relevant. This article is based on several lectures and previous publications. It is intended to show the extent to which Solfège is situated in terms of music aesthetics on the one hand. However, on the other hand, this method of mechanical readability, when it is applied without any claim to music aesthetics, is increasingly causing headaches for music educators. Two years ago, the Kodály concept was recognised as an intangible cultural heritage of humanity. This mainly brought the preservation of the diverse Hungarian folk music heritage into focus and only secondarily the pedagogical idea associated with it. It should not be forgotten that the latter is based on Guido von Arezzo's predecessor concept and would be inconceivable without it. As a logical consequence, the Solfège should also be included in the list of intangible cultural assets. Its influence is based on a musical pedagogical concept that is more than a thousand years old and still has a decisive effect on musical education in many European countries. The Solfège system is not without controversy, but where is it written that an intangible cultural property must be based on consensus on content? Is not the discourse of musicology or music education the salt in the soup that could stimulate the discussion about the inclusion of cultural property in the UNESCO List [less ▲]

We are presenting here a detailed analysis and performance characterization of a statistical temperature downscaling application used in the MAELSTROM EuroHPC project. This application uses a deep learning methodology to convert low-resolution atmospheric temperature states into high-resolution. We have performed in-depth profiling and roofline analysis at different levels (Operators, Training, Distributed Training, Inference) of the downscaling model on different hardware architectures (Nvidia V100 & A100 GPUs). Finally, we compare the training and inference cost of the downscaling model with various cloud providers. Our results identify the model bottlenecks which can be used to enhance the model architecture and determine hardware configuration for efficiently utilizing the HPC. Furthermore, we provide a comprehensive methodology for in-depth profiling and benchmarking of the deep learning models. [less ▲]

Recent developments in the global arena such as the COVID-19 pandemic and stresses in energy markets, made it clear that it is critical for the EU to ensure its strategic autonomy in the macroeconomic field. Strengthening the international role of the euro is one of the key elements in this regard. Through timely analysis of the changes stemming from the establishment of the Next Generation EU (NGEU), we seek to understand to what extent the NGEU can serve as a catalyst for the promotion of the international role of the euro. While it is implausible that the euro will overcome the primacy of the US dollar, we center our analysis around the transformation of the EU’s presence in capital markets. Following massive issuances of green bonds under the NGEU, the EU became the largest issuer of green bonds and has the potential to progress from a small supranational issuer to a sovereign size issuer. This means that the pool of highly rated euro-denominated safe assets will expand significantly. That is where we focus our analysis and where we see the opportunity of the NGEU for unleashing the potential of the euro and boosting its international role. [less ▲]

In this paper, we are going to consider a current challenge in a robotic software system. We consider a problem, which is the lack of separation of concerns in robotic systems, and propose a software model to address the problem and resolve the current challenges. The core purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the advantages of using separation of concerns principles to create a well-ordered model of independent components that address separated concerns individually. Considering the problem, we developed a software model with the help of a proactive engine to address the challenges. We use robotic operating systems to help us to implement the robot simulator.

Wavelet-type random series representations of the well-known Fractional Brownian Motion (FBM) and many other related stochastic processes and fields have started to be introduced since more than two decades. Such representations provide natural frameworks for approximating almost surely and uniformly rough sample paths at different scales and for study of various aspects of their complex erratic behavior. Hermite process of an arbitrary integer order d, which extends FBM, is a paradigmatic example of a stochastic process belonging to the dth Wiener chaos. It was introduced very long time ago, yet many of its properties are still unknown when d ≥ 3. In a paper published in 2004, Pipiras raised the problem to know whether wavelet-type random series representations with a well-localized smooth scaling function, reminiscent to those for FBM due to Meyer, Sellan and Taqqu, can be obtained for a Hermite process of any order d. He solved it in this same paper in the particular case d = 2 in which the Hermite process is called the Rosenblatt process. Yet, the problem remains unsolved in the general case d ≥ 3. The main goal of our article is to solve it, not only for usual Hermite processes but also for generalizations of them. Another important goal of our article is to derive almost sure uniform estimates of the errors related with approximations of such processes by scaling functions parts of their wavelet-type random series representations.

We define multifractional Hermite processes which generalize and extend both multifractional Brownian motion and Hermite processes. It is done by substituting the Hurst parameter in the definition of Hermite processes as a multiple Wiener-Itô integral by a Hurst function. Then, we study the pointwise regularity of these processes, their local asymptotic self-similarity and some fractal dimensions of their graph. Our results show that the fundamental properties of multifractional Hermite processes are, as desired, governed by the Hurst function. Complements are given in the second order Wiener chaos, using facts from Malliavin calculus. [less ▲]

Multiple access is the base for increasing the capacity in multi-user communication networks. However, the growing demand for higher data rates and the number of users who requires communication services has led to the scarcity of orthogonal resources in current wireless communications. On the other hand, integrating the satellite within terrestrial networks as an initiative of 3GPP since its Release 15 entails the need for new forms of multiple access between terrestrial and non-terrestrial users. This paper studies constellation schemes as a new domain to enhance the state-of-the-art multiple-access techniques for future communication technologies employing non-coherent communications with massive MIMO. In addition, we propose a hybrid model between the classic access methods such as Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) or Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA), the emerging models of non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) and the proposed domain of the constellation based on non-coherent massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) schemes. This model is discussed for different scenarios in satellite communications that help increase the system's capacity and avoid interference between terrestrial and non-terrestrial users. [less ▲]

The policy study assesses the possible scope and the technical and legal difficulties in implementing a "permanent Next-Generation EU (NGEU)", a central fiscal capacity for the EU, without ever losing sight of the democratic requirement. The implementation of NGEU has raised coordination issues between the member states as to the allocation of funds across structural priorities (e.g. ecological transition vs digitalisation) and across countries. To these coordination difficulties, Section 2 adds the issue of the democratic legitimacy of EU policies when supranational priorities constrain the autonomy of national parliaments. The problem of accountability is not new when one thinks that supranational rules, such as the Stability and Growth Pact, impose limits on the power of parliaments to "tax and spend"; in fact, the intrinsic logic of coordination is to force (political) discretionary power to comply with (macroeconomic) functional imperatives; this inevitably produces a form of depoliticisation of fiscal policy. Throughout this policy study, we constantly keep in mind that transforming NGEU into a permanent programme offers an opportunity to fix this depoliticisation of EU policies and open a window for a breakthrough to a "political Europe".

The Internet of Things (IoT) is undergoing significant advancements, driven by the emergence of Backscatter Communication (BC) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). BC is an energy-saving and cost-effective communication method where passive backscatter devices communicate by modulating ambient Radio-Frequency (RF) carriers. AI has the potential to transform our way of communicating and interacting and represents a powerful tool for enabling the next generation of IoT devices and networks. By integrating AI with BC, we can create new opportunities for energy-efficient and low-cost communication and open the door to a range of innovative applications that were previously not possible. This paper brings these two technologies together to investigate the current state of AI-powered BC. We begin with an introduction to BC and an overview of the AI algorithms employed in BC. Then, we delve into the recent advances in AI-based BC, covering key areas such as backscatter signal detection, channel estimation, and jammer control to ensure security, mitigate interference, and improve throughput and latency. We also explore the exciting frontiers of AI in BC using B5G/6G technologies, including backscatter-assisted relay and cognitive communication networks, backscatter-assisted MEC networks, and BC with RIS, UAV, and vehicular networks. Finally, we highlight the challenges and present new research opportunities in AI-powered BC. This survey provides a comprehensive overview of the potential of AI-powered BC and its insightful impact on the future of IoT. [less ▲]

Reconfigurable Intelligent surfaces (RIS) have the potential to significantly improve the performance of future 6G LEO satellite networks. In particular, RIS can improve the signal quality of ground terminal, reduce power consumption of satellite and increase spectral efficiency of overall network. This paper proposes an energy-efficient RIS-enabled NOMA communication for LEO satellite networks. The proposed framework simultaneously optimizes the transmit power of ground terminals at LEO satellite and passive beamforming at RIS while ensuring the quality of services. Due to the nature of the considered system and optimization variables, the problem of energy efficiency maximization is formulated as non-convex. In practice, it is very challenging to obtain the optimal solution for such problems. Therefore, we adopt alternating optimization methods to handle the joint optimization in two steps. In step 1, for any given phase shift vector, we calculate efficient power for ground terminals at satellite using Lagrangian dual method. Then, in step 2, given the transmit power, we design passive beamforming for RIS by solving the semi-definite programming. To validate the proposed solution, numerical results are also provided to demonstrate the benefits of the proposed optimization framework. [less ▲]

The papers of this special issue investigate the persistent challenges to European Banking Union and explore the tensions between broader financial stability objectives and national political and socio-economic pressures through a diversity of lenses. In this introduction, we examine two main issues that need to be addressed in order to strengthen Banking Union: the incomplete institutional design of Banking Union and the difficulties encountered in applying the different elements of Banking Union to loosen sovereign-bank ties. These elements include the so-called ‘single’ rulebook, supervision, resolution, and financial mechanisms to support and resolve banks. [less ▲]

Banking Union was a major policy response to the financial crisis that began in 2007 and the subsequent Eurozone crisis. Moral hazard has frequently been presented as a major cause of these crises. Therefore, Banking Union can be understood as a response to moral hazard in relation to banks and sovereigns. Yet, moral hazard was an acknowledged and supposedly managed problem prior to these events. Paradoxically, moral hazard has been used to justify contradictory policy options to safeguard European financial system stability, such as decentralized institutional arrangements for banking supervision but also a centralized system coordinated by the European Central Bank (ECB). To address this paradox, this paper investigates moral hazard as a political concept. Based on a comparison of how central bankers from the Bundesbank and the ECB understand and use the moral hazard concept, this paper argues that moral hazard is closer to the realm of politics than expertise.

Meetings are recurrent organizational tasks intended to drive progress in an interdisciplinary and collaborative manner. They are, however, prone to inefficiency due to factors such as differing knowledge among participants. The research goal of this paper is to design a recommendation-based meeting assistant that can improve the efficiency of meetings by helping to contextualize the information being discussed and reduce distractions for listeners. Following a Wizard-of-Oz setup, we gathered user feedback by thematically analyzing focus group discussions and identifying this kind of system’s key challenges and requirements. The findings point to shortcomings in contextualization and raise concerns about distracting listeners from the main content. Based on the findings, we have developed a set of design recommendations that address context, interactivity and personalization issues. These recommendations could be useful for developing a meeting assistant that is tailored to the needs of meeting participants, thereby helping to optimize the meeting experience. [less ▲]

Building accurate Machine Learning (ML) attack detection models for 5G and Beyond (5GB) vehicular networks requires collaboration between Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) nodes. However, while operating collaboratively, ensuring the ML model's security and data privacy is challenging. To this end, this article proposes a secure and privacy-preservation on-demand framework for building attack-detection ML models for 5GB vehicular networks. The proposed framework emerged from combining 5GB technologies, namely, Federated Learning (FL), blockchain, and smart contracts to ensure fair and trusted interactions between FL servers (edge nodes) with FL workers (vehicles). Moreover, it also provides an efficient consensus algorithm with an intelligent incentive mechanism to select the best FL workers that deliver highly accurate local ML models. Our experiments demonstrate that the framework achieves higher accuracy on a well-known vehicular dataset with a lower blockchain consensus time than related solutions. Specifically, our framework enhances the accuracy by 14% and decreases the consensus time, at least by 50%, compared to related works. Finally, this article discusses the framework's key challenges and potential solutions. [less ▲]
