  • Mapping of Micro-Meteorological Conditions Using Statistical
    ICUC9 - 9th International Conference on Urban Climate jointly with 12th Symposium on the Urban Environment Mapping of micro-meteorological conditions using statistical approaches – The example of Stuttgart Christine Ketterer and Andreas Matzarakis Faculty of Earth and Environmental Sciences, Albert-Ludwigs-University of Freiburg Fahnenbergplatz, 79085 Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany dated: 30 May 2015 1. Introduction The majority of the world’s population lives in cities. Health, well-being and productivity of people in urban areas depends also on meteorological conditions (Curriero, 2002; Nastos and Matzarakis, 2012), which differ significantly from those at rural areas. Up to 70,000 people died in Western Europe during the very hot summer in 2003 (Robine et al., 2008). It was estimated that heat stress and heat waves would occur more frequent, intense and longer lasting due to anthropogenic climate change in the 21st century (Beniston, 2004; Meehl and Tebaldi, 2004; Schär et al., 2004). Thus, the aim of city planners and officials is the implementation of adaptation measures in cities to counteract the increase in frequency of heat stress in the 21st century. To do so, city planners and officials need to know about the spatial and temporal dimensions of the meteorological conditions and their impact on humans in a city. As human beings do not have a sensor for air temperature, the thermal feeling depends on the integral effect of air temperature, air humidity, wind speed and radiation fluxes. Hence, modern human-biometeorological methods were applied for the quantification of thermal conditions in urban areas (Höppe, 1993). Mapping of the urban biometeorological conditions is important to identify areas with high thermal load.

  • «Why History Education?»
    Digital Conference of the International Society for History Didactics (ISHD) 16-18 September 2021 «Why History Education?» Conference Organizers: Prof. Dr. Markus Furrer & Prof. Dr. Peter Gautschi, University of Teacher Education Lucerne, Institute of History Education and Memory Cultures, Switzerland Prof. Dr. Nadine Fink, University of Teacher Education, State of Vaud, Switzerland Pädagogische Hochschule Luzern Institut für Geschichtsdidaktik und Erinnerungskulturen Frohburgstrasse 3 CH -6002 Luzern Institut für Geschichtsdidaktik und Erinnerungskulturen - Institute und Forschungsgruppen - Forschung - phlu.ch INVITATION The question about the sense of history education has recently arisen vehemently. The mediation of history has to assert itself in the field of tension of power, economy and society. History teaching at schools has come under pressure in many places. On the one hand, it can be seen that, in different places, history teaching is instrumentalized for reinforcing nationalism. On the other hand, history as an independent school subject is, in many places, about to disappear from the curricula. Not least, the strong focusing of many school systems on usefulness raises questions as to what, in fact, the study of history might contribute to the understanding of the present and the functioning of society. This basic uncertainty concerning the aim and sense of history education stands in a strange contrast to the public sphere where a veritable boom of historical culture can be experienced. But, also there, the confidence in the orientating function of history for the present and future is small. Most strongly, all these questions emerge in particular when the history of one’ own country is conveyed. The conference thus opens up a wide field.
