"Der Beitrag berichtet von einem Teilergebnis der Untersuchung 'Computerbezogen denken, wahrnehmen, handeln oder wie sich Menschen zu einer Technik ins Verhältnis
setzen'. Ziel der Untersuchung ist es herauszufinden, wie sich die Computertechnik einfügt in die subjektive Erlebniswelt von Software-Entwickler(inne)n, welche Bedürfnisse, Fähigkeiten, Werte sie anspricht, ja fordert, welche sie zurückweist, wie sie den Austausch des Subjekts mit seiner sozialen und gegenständlichen Umwelt beeinflußt auch über die Arbeitswelt hinaus und schließlich, welche gewerkschaftlichen Handlungskonsequenzen aus den Erkenntnissen gezogen werden können. 30 Software-Entwickler(innen) und 6 KI-Forscher(innen) sind in die Untersuchung einbezogen. Geschlechts- und altersspezifischen Gesichtspunkten wurde versucht Rechnung zu tragen, indem nach drei Altersgruppen unterschieden wurde (Jugendliche bis 20, 20-35jährige, über 35jährige) und Frauen und Männer bzw. Mädchen und Jungen zu gleichen Teilen vertreten sind. Das vorrangig verwendete Forschungsinstrument ist das thematisch strukturierte Interview." (Autorenreferat)

The core goal of this research is to verify how the application of the "web language" used in
Virtual Learning Environments (VLE), over the mathematical symbolic language, can interfere in the
interpretation of mathematical problems formulated with the use of the web language. For answering this
question, a qualitative research mixed with quantitative aspects that can contribute for understanding the
phenomena's involved was held. The analysis of the data researched permitted to conclude that the web
language, conjugated to the media on it is inserted, can bring problems of interpretation and comprehension
about the statements of the problems. It is realized that the difficulties are more evident when the computer
media is used, rather than the paper media. The subjects manage to interpret in a correct way the statements
proposed in the web language, and they also manage to use the computer to solve problems that utilize
mathematical symbology, as long as they have access to the necessary resources. The junction of the computer
media and the web language presented difficulties to the participating subjects in the research. For remedying
or minimizing these problems, it is suggested that should occur an improvement in the communication between
the user and the text presented to him. To comply with this suggestion, the texts used in VLE must be elaborated
so that they are suitable to the form of reading practiced on the web. The use of these resources in the writing of
the text, if it doesn't guarantee the elimination of the problems observed, can open a new perspective of the
analysis for these problems.

For three days last January, an international group met to discuss some of the issues at the First ACM Workshop on Education in Computer Security, held in Monterey, California. Representatives from 20 universities and a sprinkling of information systems security employers from industry and government were invited to attend based on position papers they had written. The group�s task was to discuss ways to address the impending crisis in information security education. Among the questions addressed were articulating the diversity of information security education requirements for different careers and the need for training and retaining security experts in education. ; Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited.

AbstractThe scientific study of war has not yet shown any indication of a major breakthrough. For such a breakthrough to materialize it is paramount to approach the war phenomenon from a dynamic systems perspective. Perceived from this angle, war is placed in both an evolutionary and systems point of view, specifically implying a vision of war as one aspect of the international political process, connected in various ways with other injurious forms of interaction as serious disputes and low level conflict behavior, but also supportive behavior like trade and co‐operation. War constitutes a 'normal' event: no less than other social phenomena, it is the result of different over‐time conjunctures of common underlying behavioral mechanisms and resulting processes of interaction occurring within the higher level system's structure. In view of the 'hypercomplex' nature of the concerned dynamics, the development of computer (simulation) models will become essential in the study of war and peace.

Abstract
This case study describes the interactional competence of one U.S. Spanish heritage language learner (HLL), during a five-week study abroad program in Spain that included service-learning. Data were drawn primarily from audiotapes, reflection essays, and an exit interview. The audiotapes included "Mía's" conversations at the service-learning site, a summer camp for young children. The three resource categories in Young's (2019) model of Practice Theory of identity, linguistic, and interactional resources facilitated the analysis of Mía's intercultural competence.
The qualitative analysis describes, first, Mía's resources during discursive practices with children and peer teachers at the camp, reflecting the construction of her identity as an educator. Second, we examine possible connections between Mía's resources and her Spanish learning history. We show that the linguistic and interactional resources observed in her interactions are congruent with her HLL background, as seen in her lexical choices and flexibility interacting with diverse interlocutors. These findings of one HLL's linguistic activity shed light on her interactional competence in this context, thus contributing to the literature on HLL s in study abroad.

"The last decade saw major advances in computer-assisted coding-and-retrieval methods for non-formatted textual data. These methods are especially helpful in interpretive social research where the researcher has to cope with sometimes huge amounts of unstructured textual data. Presently, qualitative researchers can choose between various coding and retrieval techniques by drawing on a variety of different software packages. The purpose of the paper is to give an overview of computer-aided techniques for the management and analysis of textual data in qualitative research and of the current debate about the methodological impact of these techniques on the research process. The initial sections contain a brief historical overview of the development of computer-aided qualitative data analysis whereby some epistemological aspects of the relationship between qualitative methodology and computer-use will also be discussed. Following that the paper also outlines basic elements of 'computer-aided qualitative data analysis', namely the use of textual database management systems for the automatization of manual indexing and operations. Since the advent of the first coding-and-retrieve programs great hopes have been expressed that such coding techniques could revolutionize qualitative research by making the research process more transparent and by improving the reliability and validity of its results. In the last part of the paper these questions will be discussed thereby focussing on aspects of validity." (author's abstract)
