Diese Doktorarbeit fokussiert sich auf den zweiten Teil der Karriere des Architekten Adolf Loos (1870-1933) zwischen 1918 und 1933. Von 1898 bis 1924 arbeitete Loos vor allem in Wien/Österreich, aber nachdem seine Gebäude und Vorträge mehrfach Skandale provoziert hatten (Goldman & Salatsch am Michaelerplatz 1910 u.a.), entschied er sich 1924, in Paris zu leben und zu arbeiten. Bevor er Wien...

The idea of agents in superposition is central to both encapsulated observers, i.e. Wigner’s-friend-type experiments, and correlations without definite causal order. An agent might be regarded as a thinking or computing entity that is able to perform operations on (other) quantum systems. In case of Wigner’s-friend setups, an agent’s ability to make predictions about other agents...

Social norms as concepts of legitimate and appropriate action are basic elements of social coordination and essentially “communication phenomena” (Rimal & Lapinski, 2015, Lapinski & Rimal, 2005). They are negotiated, shaped, understood, learned, and maintained through communication, with mediated public discourses as central forums for the communication and negotiation of norms. Despite...

Language use acts as an indicator of the individuals’ current mental state, personality and even personal values. In this thesis, we focus on language analysis to study two closely related processes which encompass integral components of...

Schlaf ist wichtig für die Gesundheit und das Wohlbefinden. Dennoch ist der Schlaf in ca. 20% der Bevölkerung gestört (z.B. durch Insomnie) mit Kognition (z.B. wiederkehrenden Gedanken, Ruminieren oder Sorgen), welche den Schlaf verunmöglichen. In dieser Dissertation werden daher drei kognitive Modelle beschrieben, welche den Einfluss von Kognition auf Schlaf verdeutlichen. Das erste...

Numerosi studi nell’ambito della ricerca in didattica della matematica hanno ormai da tempo evidenziato come esistano profonde connessioni tra apprendimento della matematica e dimensione linguistica. La presente dissertazione si pone sulla scia di queste ricerche: partendo dal presupposto che una visione integrata tra le due discipline rappresenti un fecondo terreno di indagine, viene...
