Die Digitalisierung hat große Teile unseres Alltags, aber auch der Wissenschaft verändert. In der Schule hat diese gesellschaftliche Transformation, nicht zuletzt durch die Corona-Pandemie katalysiert, nun verstärkt Fahrt aufgenommen, u.a. durch vermehrte Investitionen in die digitale Infrastruktur. Um einen Mehrwert für den Chemieunterricht generieren zu können, bedarf es didaktischer Konzepte. Dies betrifft einerseits Konzepte für den konkreten Einsatz digitaler Medien im Chemieunterricht, andererseits aber auch Konzepte für die Professionalisierung von Lehrkräften im Bereich der Digitalisierung. Solche didaktischen Konzepte wurden in der Chemiedidaktik in den letzten Jahren vermehrt entwickelt. In diesem Buch geben Autorinnen und Autoren aus über 20 verschiedenen Hochschulstandorten sowohl einen forschungs- als auch einen praxisbezogenen Einblick in Innovationen, wie die Potenziale der Digitalisierung und die damit verbundene Digitalität der Gesellschaft und der Fachwissenschaft Chemie für den Chemieunterricht nutzbar gemacht werden können. Die Idee zu diesem Band entstand im Anschluss an die deutschlandweit erste Onlinetagung zur Digitalisierung im Chemieunterricht (DiCE 2020), ausgerichtet von der gleichnamigen Arbeitsgruppe der GDCh Fachgruppe Chemieunterricht.

Hemp and cannabis, both belonging to Cannabis sativa, have emerged as some of the most valuable crops because of their multiple functionalities - industrial, medicinal, and recreational uses. Like all other crops, they are at risk of diseases and pests. In certain cases, an entire hemp field can fail due to unexpected disease. As a new and highly regulated crop, research on Cannabis crop diseases is scarce, and the science of plant diagnostics is not well covered in the literature. Taking hemp/cannabis as a model crop, the book illustrates how to diagnose a disease problem and how to manage it effectively. It presents real disease cases encountered during crop production, and explains methods of diagnosis, both in the field and in the lab, in order to find out the cause(s).
