An interdisciplinary assessment of private conservation areas in the Western United States
(2020-02-20)
Conservation easements are the fastest growing private conservation strategy in the United States. However, mechanisms to assess private land conservation as well as their support by the general public are not well understood. This study uses the ecosystem services framework for assessing existing private lands in Idaho and identifies areas for future conservation easements. Using conservation targets of the land trust as a guide for selecting ecosystem services, we (a) mapped the spatial delivery of conservation ...

Von der ostdeutschen zur marktliberalen Transformation
(2020-12-15)
Forschungen zum Bereich des Wohnens können dazu beitragen, in der Transformationsforschung subjektive Alltagserfahrungen mit politischen, ökonomischen und Macht-Faktoren zu vermitteln. In dem Kommentar wird dieses Plädoyer von Matthias Bernt und Andrej Holm aufgegriffen, das ähnlich auch die Historikerin Kerstin Brückweh formuliert hat. Um das Zusammenspiel subjektiver und objektiver Realitäten in der ostdeutschen Transformation zu verstehen, sollten Forschungen jedoch empirisch und nicht konzeptionell ausgerichtet ...

Engineering Challenges Ahead for Robot Teamwork in Dynamic Environments
(2020-02-18)
The increasing number of robots around us creates a demand for connecting these robots in order to achieve goal-driven teamwork in heterogeneous multi-robot systems. In this paper, we focus on robot teamwork specifically in dynamic environments. While the conceptual modeling of multi-agent teamwork was studied extensively during the last two decades and commercial multi-agent applications were built based on the theoretical foundations, the steadily increasing use of autonomous robots in many application domains gave ...

Von performativen Äußerungen zum Performative Turn. Performativitätstheorien zwischen Sprach- und Medienparadigma
(2020-11-10)
Der Begriff der Performativität hat in den Sozial- und Kulturwissenschaften der letzten Jahre eine beachtliche Karriere aufzuweisen, bleibt aber inhaltlich oftmals unbestimmt. Gleiches gilt für den proklamierten Performative Turn. Ausgehend von aktuellen Debatten um das Performativitätskonzept, wie sie etwa im Anschluss an die Schriften von Karen Barad und Michel Callon geführt werden, sollen diese Diskussionen im Beitrag genauer sortiert und einer kritischen Reflexion unterzogen werden. Er beginnt zunächst mit einer ...

Understanding Dietary Diversity, Dietary Practices and Changes in Food Patterns in Marginalised Societies in Sri Lanka
(2020-11-13)
Micronutrient malnutrition is a serious public health problem in developing countries, including Sri Lanka. Most frequently, micronutrient malnutrition is experienced by the poorest households due to cereal-based, monotonous diets that lack dietary diversity. Sri Lankan traditional food system is changing day by day. In parallel, nutrition deficiencies, malnutrition, and noncommunicable diseases are the most significant problems today in Sri Lanka. Therefore, understanding dietary diversity and dietary changes in Sri ...

Business model innovation in strategic alliances: a multi‐layer perspective
(2020-04-17)
Business model innovation (BMI) has recently become a topic of interest for research as well as corporate practice. However, we lack specific insights into actors, drivers, and different forms of BMI as the concept is by now mainly addressed in a very general way. In this paper, we analyze how BMI takes place in strategic alliances with the focus of enhancing the recent knowledge about BMI by developing a concept that links firm‐level BMI with alliance‐driven innovation of business models. Against the background of ...

Effect of Surfactants on the Flow Patterns of Horizontal Tube Bundles with a Falling Film
(2020-03-24)
The influence of two alcoholic surfactants on the flow patterns of falling film tube bundles is investigated. The flow patterns are measured in a single‐stage absorption chiller in the absence of surfactants. The surface tension of H2O/aqueous LiBr solution with different concentrations of 1‐octanol and 2‐ethylhexanol is measured at low pressure in a saturated atmosphere. Small quantities of surfactants in the aqueous solution do not have an influence on the flow patterns of the condenser and evaporator, while a shift ...

Exploration of production conditions: a step towards the development of a community-based breeding program for Butana cattle
(2020-11-17)
In Sudan, many Butana cattle farmers practice indiscriminate crossbreeding to improve the milk yield performance of cows, as organized breeding programs are lacking. Objectives of this study were to identify the current production conditions of Butana cattle and to determine farmers’ production objectives and trait preferences using a field survey. The overall aim was to explore the possibility of establishing a community-based breeding program for the genetic improvement of the breed. A semi-structured questionnaire ...

Spiritual values shape taxonomic diversity, vegetation composition, and conservation status in woodlands of the Northern Zagros, Iran
(2021)
Sacred groves are under-researched in Muslim countries so that their overall contribution to biodiversity conservation remains unknown. We studied 22 sacred groves and 45 surrounding woodlands in Northern Zagros, Iran, to compare taxonomic diversity, vegetation composition, and the conservation status of plant species. Sacred groves had higher taxonomic diversity and a more valuable species pool by sheltering numerous endangered plant species. Multivariate analysis indicated a substantial difference in the vegetation ...
