  Aktive Regeneration von Lernbedingungen durch Bewegungspausen? - Effekte des „Pausenexpresses“ in universitären Lehrveranstaltungen auf Aufmerksamkeit und Befindlichkeit Mehr und mehr Hochschulen bieten Bewegungspausen in Lehrveranstaltungen zur aktiven Regeneration kognitiver Leistungsfähigkeit und zur Gesundheitsförderung ihrer Studierenden an (für eine Übersicht siehe z. B. Allgemeiner deutscher Hochschulverband, 2022). Bisherige Befunde zu Effekten von Bewegungspausen auf Lernbedingungen sind jedoch heterogen und es liegen bisher kaum hochwertige Studien zu Bewegungspausen im Hochschulunterricht vor (Müller et al., 2021; Singh et al., 2019; Wassenaar et al., 2020). Die vorliegende Interventionsstudie untersucht daher, ob sich eine Bewegungspause im Hochschulunterricht positiver auf die Lernbedingungen, Aufmerksamkeit und Befindlichkeit auswirken als konventionelle Pausen ohne körperliche Aktivierung.

  Research at Paderborn University: interdisciplinary, international, application-oriented and innovative Paderborn University is a young and thriving university that conducts excellent research within five key research areas. A wide range of research activities in all faculties are performed with a high level of interdisciplinarity and internationality. Paderborn University is embedded in an innovative and dynamic business environment in the region of Ostwestfalen-Lippe, which engenders numerous cross-sector collaborations with benefits for researchers and the regional economy. We emphasize interdisciplinarity, as complex scientific challenges require collaboration of complementary disciplines. One example is the close link between computer science and engineering, generating common solutions with exploitation potential and real added value in the mechanical-electrical engineering fields. Together with basic research in the natural sciences such collaborations form an essential basis for shaping the modern information society. Similarly, the analysis and exploration of cultural and economic developments and changes in the information and knowledge society also require interdisciplinary approaches. These questions are addressed in cultural and social sciences as well as economics and have an impact on teacher training and vocational education.

  IN PUBLICA COMMODA - FOR THE GOOD OF ALL reads the inscription on the Foundation Medal of Georg-August-Universität Göttingen. Established in the age of the Enlightenment (1737) and committed to its critical spirit, the "Georgia Augusta" was one of Europe's first universities to abandon the supremacy of theology and achieve equality for all faculties. Emphasis on basic research and orientation towards source criticism and experimentation proved to be decisive preconditions for the development of the modern humanities and natural sciences, a development strongly influenced by the Georgia Augusta. The history of Georg-August-Universität Göttingen has to this day been characterised by scholarly pragmatism and a sense of reality as well as keen awareness for science's societal responsibility. This tradition embraces the contributions of the "Göttinger Sieben" (1837) and those of Max Born, Otto Hahn, Werner Heisenberg and Carl Friedrich von Weizsäcker, who initiated the "Göttinger Erklärung" (1957) calling for the abandonment of nuclear weapons of every description. It is in this tradition that the Georgia Augusta today defines itself and its mission. Remembering the darkest chapter of its history during the period of National Socialism, the University is committed to utilising its strengths in shaping a humane, tolerant and peaceful world.
