Aufgrund des gegenwärtigen Fachkräftemangels und des steigenden Bedarfs an Höherqualifizierten verlangt der österreichische Arbeitsmarkt nach dem Ausbau gegenwärtig nur vereinzelt vorhandener dualer Studiengänge. Damit wird es für Hochschulen zunehmend wichtiger, sich mit der Thematik zu beschäftigen und entsprechende Angebote zu schaffen. Daraus ergibt sich für die vorliegende Masterarbeit die Frage, wie sich die aktuelle Forschungsdiskussion zum Thema duale Hochschulbildung in Österreich und Deutschland darstellt und welche Forschungslücken sich daraus ergeben. Diese wird anhand einer umfassenden Literaturrecherche und -analyse beantwortet. Zunächst werden die Grundlagen zum dualen Studium angeführt, Abgrenzungen zu anderen Studienmodellen vorgenommen und deren historische und aktuelle Entwicklungen dargelegt. Zudem wird erklärt, in welchem bildungsrelevanten Kontext die Debatte um duale Studiengänge zu verorten ist. Anschließend werden gegenwärtige Konzepte des dualen Studiums in Österreich und Deutschland beschrieben und miteinander verglichen. Darauf folgt eine Darstellung von beispielhaften dualen Studienangeboten von renommierten hochschulischen Institutionen aus Österreich und Deutschland, um einen Einblick darin zu gewähren, wie die zuvor beschrieben Konzepte in der Praxis angeboten werden. Danach richtet sich der Fokus auf die Metaebene dualer Studiengänge. Konkret werden die Chancen und Risiken der dualen Hochschulbildung diskutiert, die in der aktuellen Forschungsdiskussion bereits bekannt sind. Dabei werden mehrere Betrachtungsweisen miteinbezogen, die arbeitsmarktrelevante und bildungspolitische Perspektive sowie die Sicht der Studierenden. Abschließend wird dargelegt, in welchen Bereichen es gegenwärtig noch Forschungslücken gibt. ; Due to the current skills shortage and the increasing demand for highly qualified employees, the Austrian labour market is demanding for the expansion of dual studies, which are currently hardly offered in Austria. Thus, it is becoming increasingly important for higher education institutions to deal with the topic and to create corresponding offers. This results in the question for the present master thesis, which asks, how the current research discussion on the topic of dual higher education in Austria and Germany represents itself and which research gaps result from it. The question is answered by means of a comprehensive literature research and analysis. First, the basics of dual studies are explained, delimitations from other study models are made, and their historical and current developments are outlined. In addition, the educational context is explained, in which the debate about dual studies is embedded. Subsequently, current concepts of dual studies in Austria and Germany are described and compared with each other. This is followed by a description of exemplary dual studies, which are offered by renowned higher education institutions in Austria and Germany to provide an insight into how the concepts described above are offered in practice. Then the focus turns to the meta level of dual studies. Specifically, the opportunities and risks of dual higher education are discussed, which are already known in the current research discussion. Several perspectives are included, the labour market perspective, the education policy perspective, and view of students. Finally, it is presented, what can be learned from it and in which areas there are currently still research gaps. ; Melanie Christine Tengg, BA ; Enthält Zusammenfassungen auf Deutsch und Englisch ; Abweichender Titel laut Übersetzung des Verfassers/der Verfasserin ; Karl-Franzens-Universität Graz, Masterarbeit, 2021 ; (VLID)5870119

Dual power as a strategic concept plays a central role in the conceptualization of the revolutionary situation in Russia during 1917, both in the sense of the characterization of a particular conjuncture as revolutionary, but also as strategic direction, acquiring after October 1917 canonical status. Although associated with a 'classical' insurrectionary sequence, later discussions of dual power placed more emphasis on the more complex, uneven and lasting character of any potentially revolutionary strategy, from Gramsci's distinction between war of movement and war of position to the debates on strategy in the 1970s. Recently, discussions of dual power have resurfaced in the context of the debates on the contradictions of contemporary attempts towards some form of 'left governance', but also in interventions by theorists such as Fredric Jameson. The aim of this presentation is to return to crucial moments of these debates in order to suggest it is necessary to move beyond thinking about dual power of either a typology of insurrectionary sequences or the simple articulation of parliamentary majority and movements from below. In this sense, instead of limiting it to the particular conjuncture of a revolutionary situation, it is better to think of a permanent dual power as an integral aspect of any potentially revolutionary strategy, or as a permanent trait of any politics of emancipation.

Among all regions, Asia lags behind in terms of the number of countries that recognize dual citizenship, but why have some Asian countries permitted dual citizenship while others have not? As of 2009, only seven countries in Asia recognize dual citizenship: Sri Lanka, Cambodia, the Philippines, India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Vietnam. This study analyzes data for twenty-two Asian countries and conducts four case studies. The first two cases, India and the Philippines, recognize dual citizenship, while the second two cases, Nepal and Mongolia, do not. I examine three hypothesized factors that contribute to state recognition of dual citizenship in Asia: state demand for (a) financial capital and (b) human capital, and regime type. All seven dual citizenship-recognizing countries in Asia, as well as Nepal and Mongolia, have similarly high levels of remittances and "brain drain." My findings indicate that state demand for financial capital and human capital appear to be strongly associated with – but yet do not fully account for – dual citizenship recognition in Asian countries. A full account requires the consideration of political factors, which are highlighted in my case studies. In the Nepalese and Mongolian cases, some major impediments to dual citizenship recognition are border issues with India and China, respectively, and concerns about increasing foreign penetration into domestic economies.

Two designs of conical-beam array antennas are presented for different fifth-generation applications. They are based on slotted cylindrical waveguides and a travelling-wave topology, where the waveguide is used to progressively excite a cross-slot array. A total of 384 cross-slots, formed by transversal and longitudinal slots, are grouped in rings of eight equally-spaced cross-slots. The propagation of TM01 and TE01 modes in the cylindrical waveguide can provide dual polarization by the independent excitation of transversal and longitudinal slots, respectively. Firstly, a dual linearly-polarized antenna design in the 37-40 GHz band is presented, conforming a high-gain conical-beam pattern. Secondly, a similar antenna design working in the 5G dual-band of 26-30 GHz and 37-40 GHz is also presented. In this last case, transversal and longitudinal slots are designed to radiate at two different frequency bands of 26-30 GHz (vertical polarization) and 37-40 GHz (horizontal polarization), recently assigned for very high-speed 5G applications. The dual-band design has been prototyped by combining 3D-printing and CNC milling techniques to experimentally validate the proposed topology, providing high experimental performance. Directive tilted omnidirectional coverages with peak realized gains around 14 dBi have been obtained, as well as a total efficiency between 83% and 90% for both frequency bands ; This work was supported by the Spanish Government through the Agencia Estatal de Investigación / Fondo Europeo de Desarrollo Regional, Unión Europea (AEI/FEDER, UE) under Grant TEC2016-76070-C3-1-R and in part under Grant PID2020-116968RB-C32

Both ambivalent state building and national formation in Spain's modern history explain the duality of the way in which citizens identify themselves, to a considerable degree. This concept of dual identity --or compound nationality-- concerns the way citizens identify themselves in sub-state communities within pluriethnic polities. It incorporates -- in variable proportions, individually or subjectively asserted-- the local/ethno-territorial self-ascribed identity and the state/national identity produced by political integration --or, rather, malintegration-- in the state-building process. As a result of this, citizens share their institutional loyalties at both levels of political legitimacy without any apparent fracture between them (Moreno, 1986, 1988). ; Peer reviewed

This paper provides an overview of recent research on dual labour markets. Theoretical and empirical contributions on the labour-market effects of dual employment protection legislation are revisited, as well as factors behind its resilience and policies geared towards correcting its negative economic and social consequences. The topics covered include the stepping-stone or dead-end nature of temporary contracts, their effects on employment, unemployment, churn, training, productivity growth, wages, and labour market inflows and outflows. The paper reviews both theoretical advances and relevant policy discussions on a very relevant topic in many European countries, in particular in several that had a very poor employment performance during the recent global economic and financial crisis.

All of these lead to creating innovation and technology which have an effect on the expansion of economic. Thus, this is the responsibility of the educational section that should prepare students for entering the world of professional. To consider the context of vocational education in Thailand, there are two types of vocational education system that are interesting: (1) Dual Vocational Education is the system that students learn about knowledge in school and practice in private enterprise, state enterprise, or government sector (full dual vocational education in the area, full dual vocational education outside the area, dual vocational education in some subjects, dual vocational education in foreign countries) and (2) Dual Education is the program of study that corroborate between the Office of the Vocational Education Commission and the Office of the Basic Education Commission, or the Office of the Non-formal and Informal Education, or the Office of the Private Education Commission. Students study both professional certificate curriculum and basic education curriculum (Basic Education Core Curriculum B.E. 2551 or Non-formal and Informal Education Core Curriculum B.E. 2551). Although both of program are not the same, the objectives of the study still emphasize on enhancing students' moral, skill and cognitive domain, competency of work, applying knowledge and skill in their real-world situation.

Schistosomiasis and typhoid fever caused by blood flukes and Salmonella bacteria respectively are leading infectious diseases in most tropical parts of the world especially in sub-Saharan Africa. In countries where both are endemic, co-infection is a consistent reality. This study therefore investigated the incidence of dual Schistosoma mansoni and enteric Salmonella species infections in patients from Eldin Specialist and Plateau Specialist Hospitals, Jos, Plateau State, Nigeria. In this, a total of 250 each of blood and stool samples were collected from 250 patients who showed positive for widal tests and were receiving health care from the two hospitals. The samples were analyzed using standard methods which included culture, concentration and agglutination (Widal) techniques. Out of the 250 widal-positive patients used, only 34 (13.6%) were positive for typhoid fever by stool culture. The prevalence rates of the dual infections were observed to be 22 (8.8%) and 6 (2.4%) by Widal and stool culture techniques respectively. Co-infection was highest among females (28.6%) within the age bracket 40 - 49 years, followed by males (14.3%) within the age brackets 0 - 9 and 20 - 29 years. There was a stronger relationship between the two organisms by widal test (r = 0.858, P0.05). Although culture technique is reputed as a gold standard in the diagnosis of typhoid fever, widal test is suggested in the case of co-infection with Schistosoma parasite provided judicious interpretations of results are made against backgrounds of pertinent information. Since both diseases share social circumstances such as poverty and hygiene, governments' involvements in the improvement of the standard of living of individuals in areas of high endemicity is hereby recommended. Also, cases of the diseases should be detected and promptly treated to avoid further transmissions. Indiscriminate droppings of faeces should be discouraged as rain can wash them into water bodies for onward transmissions. When the organisms are detected from positive samples, treatment should be concurrent with both anti-schistosomal and anti-Salmonellal drugs.

ABSTRACT: The source of revenue for nonprofit performing arts organizations has shifted over time with the continuous reduction of government support. Nonprofit performing arts organizations are faced with the dilemma of financial and organizational sustainability while continuing to pursue artistic freedom. Companies in the performing arts industry are typically structured with a "dual leadership" and a dual mission: artistic and operational. This study addresses the influence of leadership structure and board member involvement on the financial performance of nonprofit dance organizations. This study expands on previous research and analyses the impact of leadership structure on unearned and earned revenue sources in the dance sector. The first portion of this study comprises of a literature review that explores existing research on leadership structure, board member influence, and revenue composition in nonprofit organizations and identifies if the dance sector performs as expected, in general. In the second portion, we perform a regression analysis exploring the relationship between revenues and leadership structure for a sample of 135 dance organizations based in Texas. We find that while the literature supports a dual leadership model for maximizing revenues, the simple linear base model estimates do not conform to this expectation for dance organizations in Texas. However, the estimates obtained from a log-linear model, suggest that dual leadership and board member participation contribute positively and significantly to the financial performance of those organizations. KEYWORDS: dual leadership, non-profit dance, sustainability, regression analysis

Mood and substance use disorders (SUDs) are mental conditions that are highly prevalent in the general population. Cooccurrence of major depression and SUD, also known as dual depression, is very common in the field of substance addiction. Sex differences are found in both major depression and SUD. This review, after presenting the state of the art of dual depression as regards prevalence, ethiopathologic mechanisms, and clinical aspects, is focused on dual depression in women. An overview of some potential factors associated with the sex gap in dual depression such as injecting, sexual risk behavior, intimate partner violence, and the reproductive cycle is presented. ; This project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme 2014-2020 under Grant Agreement No 634143 (MedBioinformatics) and ISCIIIRed de Trastornos Adictivos-RTA-FEDER (RD12/0028/0009 and RD16/0017/0010).

The purpose of this study was examine if legislation that greatly impacted the number of students taking dual enrollment courses in the state of Georgia was having an impact of CTAE programs in seven, rural school districts in southeast Georgia. This study employed a mixed methods research design. Quantitative data supplied by the Georgia Department of Education regarding enrollment numbers, as well as qualitative data gathered by the utilization of an open-ended questionnaire, were analyzed conjunctly to ascertain if an impact existed. This study focused on four overarching research questions regarding any potential impacts experienced with the implementation of the dual enrollment legislation known as Move On When Ready. They were as follows: (a) How has enrollment in high school CTASE classes changed since the passage of dual enrollment legislation? (b) How has participation in high school CTSO organizations changed since the passage of dual enrollment legislation? (c) According to CTAE educators, how has dual enrollment impacted classrooms? and (d) According to CTAE educators, how has dual enrollment impacted students' characteristics? The study revealed that in terms of enrollment, CTAE classes had not been significantly impacted by the passage of the dual enrollment legislation. There did appear to be a positive impact by this legislation, with enrollment numbers remaining the same or with a slight increase; however, this was not statistically significant. CTAE educators overwhelmingly expressed that they had felt an impact with the passage of this legislation, although the quantitative numbers did not support their opinions. This study impacts small, rural school districts that need to conduct a deeper analysis to ascertain the reason for the disconnect between CTAE teachers' opinions and the quantitative data.

Ethnic minorities tend to develop dual identities and therefore can face identity denials from two groups. We examine in two studies the relation between dual identity and experiences of dual identity denial as misgivings or a manifested mistrust of one's group membership from both majority and minority group members. Based on identity integration and threat literature, identity denial represents a threat to dual identity which means that stronger dual identity denial can be expected to be associated with lower dual identity (a negative association). In contrast, based on identity enactment literature, stronger expression of one's dual identity can be expected to elicit stronger identity denial (a positive association). These two contrasting hypotheses were examined in two studies (Study 1 = 474; Study 2 = 820) among ethnic minorities in the Netherlands. The results from both studies offer greater support for the identity enactment model and illustrate the complexities associated with having a dual identity.
