Zum Pride-Monat nehmen wir Quantität und Qualität queerer Repräsentation in der Serienlandschaft unter die Lupe, schauen auf Zahlen und Fakten, beschreiben Entwicklungen der letzten Jahre und kommen zum Schluss: Solange Ausnahmen die Regel sind, haben wir noch einen langen Weg vor uns.

Es ist passiert. In Thüringen. Ausgerechnet. Die gestrige Wahl des thüringischen Ministerpräsidenten hat bewiesen, dass mensch es in Deutschland gerade mal drei Generationen ohne Faschisten mit Regierungsbeteiligung aushält. Auf Länderebene. Und dass mensch sehr wohl im Geschichtsunterricht aufgepasst hat. Die Zusammenarbeit vieler demokratischer Parteien (allen voran CDU und FDP) mit Faschisten auf kommunaler Ebene seit...

Der popkulturelle Meilenstein "The L Word" wurde neu aufgelegt. Zehn Jahre nach dem Serienende setzt das Sequel "Generation Q" ein - mit alten Bekannten und neuen Gesichtern. Wir haben uns die erste Staffel für euch angeschaut und sezieren die neue Version und Fortsetzung in bewährter BYG-Manier: kritisch und flauschig.

Objective: The objective was to use eye tracking to trace the underlying changes in attention allocation associated with the performance effects of clutter, stress, and task difficulty in visual search and noticing tasks. Background: Clutter can degrade performance in complex domains, yet more needs to be known about the associated changes in attention allocation, particularly in the presence of stress and for different tasks. Frequently used and relatively simple eye tracking metrics do not effectively capture the various effects of clutter, which is critical for comprehensively analyzing clutter and developing targeted, real-time countermeasures. Method: Electronic medical records (EMRs) were chosen as the application domain for this research. Clutter, stress, and task difficulty were manipulated, and physicians' performance on search and noticing tasks was recorded. Several eye tracking metrics were used to trace attention allocation throughout those tasks, and subjective data were gathered via a debriefing questionnaire. Results: Clutter degraded performance in terms of response time and noticing accuracy. These decrements were largely accentuated by high stress and task difficulty. Eye tracking revealed the underlying attentional mechanisms, and several display-independent metrics were shown to be significant indicators of the effects of clutter. Conclusion: Eye tracking provides a promising means to understand in detail (offline) and prevent (in real time) major performance breakdowns due to clutter. Application: Display designers need to be aware of the risks of clutter in EMRs and other complex displays and can use the identified eye tracking metrics to evaluate and/or adjust their display.

Objective: We aimed to synthesize the literature on display clutter by reviewing definitions and measurement techniques and to develop a comprehensive, ergonomics-oriented perspective on clutter. We provide guidance for the selection of measurement approaches that can capture the various aspects and effects of clutter on visual search in particular. Background: There is agreement that clutter may represent a significant problem to operators. The challenge is to determine the ideal middle ground between excessive data and insufficient information. However, definitions of clutter vary widely, which explains the range of measurement approaches, including image-processing algorithms, performance evaluation, subjective evaluation, and eye tracking. It is important to understand the affordances of each technique and provide guidance for their use. Method: We provide a systematic review of clutter definitions and develop a performance-oriented perspective for ergonomics research. Next, we present a critical overview of clutter measurement approaches. The benefits and limitations of each technique are detailed, and recommendations for best practice are provided. Results: From an ergonomics perspective, clutter matters to the extent that it affects performance, particularly, visual search. A combination of measurement techniques can be employed in order to assess the performance costs stemming from the multiple aspects of clutter. Conclusion: Display clutter is a multifaceted construct that is a problem when it results in performance and attentional costs. The assessment of these costs is critical and requires the use of appropriate and complementary techniques. Application: It is important that the performance costs of clutter are detected reliably to be able to better support attention management.

"This book explains the key principles of modern First Amendment law, showing that it embodies universal values and is eminently sensible; it lets government outlaw the most dangerous speech - speech that directly causes or threatens imminent harm, such as intentional incitement of imminent violence -- while outlawing the most dangerous censorship - restrictions on speech solely due to its unpopular or vaguely feared ideas. Before the modern Supreme Court adopted these speech-protective precepts - which are often summarized as the "emergency" and "viewpoint neutrality" principles - the government had discretion to restrict speech with an indirect, speculative connection to potential harm under the "bad tendency" test; it predictably wielded such discretion disproportionately to suppress its critics and advocates of human rights and social justice causes"--

Civil Society Activism in the Middle East analyzes the impact of repression on civil society activism in the Middle East through analyzing the cases of Egypt and Jordan. Sika argues that authoritarian regimes' repressive strategies toward civil society actors vary depending on recent historical experience with regime breakdown and/or continuity. Authoritarian regimes that go through breakdown and that transition from one autocratic rule to another increase repression against all civil society actors in an effort to pre-empt large-scale mobilization. This instils fear into civil society actors, who as a result either disengage from civic and political activism or turn to different forms of participation, such as social entrepreneurship. On the other hand, long-standing authoritarian regimes that have not faced breakdown utilize targeted repression and co-optation strategies while tolerating civic and political activism, as well as some forms of contentious activities. Civil society actors in these regimes are able to grasp political opportunities to mobilize for demonstrations at certain times and in certain spaces, and to develop coalition partnerships to push the regime to advance some reforms and change.

'Civil Society in the Middle East' analyzes the impact of repression on civil society activism in the Middle East through analyzing the cases of Egypt and Jordan.

Wie gehen Jugendliche in der Jugendhilfe mit hegemonialen Normen, Anforderungen und Zuschreibungen um? Nadine Sarfert untersucht die Lebenssituation von Jugendlichen in der stationären Jugendhilfe. Sie zeigt, wie die jungen Menschen dort mit hegemonialen Ordnungen ringen und darin spezifische Selbstverhältnisse ausbilden. Deutlich wird, wie diese Subjektivierungsweisen mit institutionellen Zwängen und gesellschaftlichen Widersprüchen korrelieren. Ziel der Studie ist es, durch eine kritisch-reflexive Analyse die bewussten und unbewussten Momente von Herrschaft zu verstehen, die die Denk-, Gefühls- und Handlungsweisen in der öffentlichen Erziehung prägen.

This concise but comprehensive book engagingly summarizes both the broad themes and specific tenets of First Amendment law, and the strongest arguments for and against protecting controversial speech such as hate speech and disinformation. It explains the many speech-protective legal rules that emerged during the Civil Rights era, demonstrating how essential free speech is for other human rights.

In Youth in Egypt, Nadine Sika explores the political world of young people in Egypt, focusing on their experiences under authoritarianism. From the reigns of Gamal Abdel Nasser and Anwar Sadat to that of Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, she offers an on-the-ground perspective through the eyes of multiple generations of young people who lived through consecutive periods of political upheaval and state militarization. Drawing on surveys, interviews, and focus groups, Sika shines a light on youth who have participated in protest movements, civil society organizations, and political parties. She shows us the different opportunities for economic and political participation that exist for them, explaining why young Egyptians may choose to either mobilize against or - surprisingly - in support of the regime. Sika underscores how youth in Egypt have been regarded as both the "hope of the nation" and a "threat to the nation." Youth in Egypt shines a light on the rising generation of young people that represents Egypt's future and also has significant implications for the broader Middle East and North Africa region.
