Potent anthelmintics were introduced into the Swiss market several decades ago. Despite this, gastrointestinal nematodes (GIN), lungworms and the large liver fluke (Fasciola hepatica) can successfully inhabit Swiss ruminant farms. This is mainly due to a ...
In Switzerland, bovine fasciolosis is an economically important but often overlooked disease of dairy cows. The intermediate host of Fasciola hepatica in Switzerland is Galba truncatula, an amphibious snail living in humid habitats which are infected by ...
A transdisciplinary project was undertaken by veterinarians and historians to investigate various aspects of potential zoonotic diseases that were classified, or have been seriously considered as reportable diseases in Switzerland (bovine spongiform ...
Abstract: Accurate monitoring is important, as it guides subsequent control of learning. With multimedia, learners often overestimate their learning. Retrieval practice provides insight into one’s understanding; still, it might not ...
Perceived Participation in Goal-Setting. How Goal Systems can be Adjusted to Individual Performance RequisitesAbstract. Recent surveys describe management by objectives as a source of pressure on time and performance and subsequently as a cause of ...

Zusammenfassung. Theoretischer Hintergrund: Die Erziehungsfaktoren Negativität und Kontrolle werden sowohl im Zusammenhang mit der Aufmerksamkeits-Defizit-Hyperaktivitäts-Störung (ADHS) als auch ...
Errors can play a major role for optimizing subsequent performance: Response conflict associated with (near) errors signals the need to recruit additional control resources to minimize future conflict. However, so far it remains open whether children and ...
Self-regulated learning has emerged as a powerful new learning theory that is able to promote the transfer of knowledge and skills to real-life situations and make students more independent of their teachers in extending and updating their knowledge base. ...
Abstract. Research on individual-difference factors predicting belief in conspiracy theories has proceeded along several independent lines that converge on a profile of conspiracy believers as individuals who are relatively untrusting, ideologically ...
