Legal challenges of an open web index
(2021-03-16)
Calls for a European “third way” in matters of digital technology need to be put into action to achieve an actual change of the status quo. To achieve autonomy in the digital sphere, European alternatives to digital services and products need to be established. However, such efforts must also extend to the level of information technology infrastructure. To that end, decentralized indexing of the internet could significantly help to strengthen Europe’s digital sovereignty. Nevertheless, legal challenges need to be ...

Additive Timber Manufacturing: A Novel, Wood-Based Filament and Its Additive Robotic Fabrication Techniques for Large-Scale, Material-Efficient Construction
(2021-08-13)
Additive manufacturing (AM), as resource-efficient fabrication processes, could also be used in the dimensions of the construction industry, as a variety of experimental projects using concrete and steel demonstrate. In timber construction, currently few additive technologies have been developed having the potential to be used in large scale. Currently known AM processes use wood in pulverized form, losing its inherent structural and mechanical properties. This research proposes a new material that maintains a complete ...

Development and Validation of the Certainty About Mental States Questionnaire (CAMSQ): A Self-Report Measure of Mentalizing Oneself and Others
(2021-12-14)
The Certainty About Mental States Questionnaire (CAMSQ) is a self-report measure of the perceived capacity to understand mental states of the self and others (i.e., mentalizing). In two studies (total N = 1828), we developed the CAMSQ in both English and German as a two-dimensional measure of Self- and Other-Certainty, investigated associations with other measures of mentalizing, and explored relationships to personality functioning and mental health. The CAMSQ performed well in terms of convergent and discriminant ...

Soil microbial properties of subalpine steppe soils at different grazing intensities in the Chinese Altai Mountains
(2021-01-18)
Long-term provision of ecosystem services by grasslands is threatened by increasing stocking densities. The functions of grassland ecosystems depend on a mutual relationship between aboveground and belowground biota. While the effects of increasing stocking density on plant biomass are well studied, little is known about its impact on soil microbial properties. To fill this knowledge gap a grazing experiment was conducted on a summer pasture in the Chinese Altai Mountains during the summers of 2014 and 2015 using a ...

Motiviert begonnen, erfolgreich beendet?
(2021-03-01)
Die Bedeutung der Studienwahlmotivation für den Studien- und Berufserfolg von Lehrkräften wird vielfach betont, wurde bislang jedoch nicht hinreichend untersucht. So ist zwar bekannt, dass die Studienwahlmotivation mit leistungsrelevanten Merkmalen wie der Nutzung von Lernstrategien in Verbindung steht, unklar ist jedoch, inwiefern die Studienwahlmotivation darüber hinaus auch Leistungsmaße beeinflusst. Im vorliegenden Beitrag wird die prognostische Validität der Studienwahlmotivation auf zwei Leistungsmaße geprüft: ...

Coaching zum Spannungsfeld von Dominanz und Unterordnung – Perspektiven für eine situationsadäquate Selbstregulation
(2021-10-27)
Die Forschung widmete sich der Frage, wie Einzelcoaching dazu beiträgt, dass Coachees eine situationsadäquate Selbstregulation von Dominanz und Unterordnung gelingt. Zunächst wird die Relevanz des Themas für die Coachingpraxis und das Spannungsfeld von Dominanz und Unterordnung erörtert. Das Instrument der operationalisierten psychodynamischen Diagnostik diente als Grundlage für das Forschungsdesign. Anschließend wird die verwendete Methode beschrieben, und die Ergebnisse der Forschung werden komprimiert dargelegt. ...

Determinants of success and constraints of integrated ridesharing in rural areas
(2021-09-01)
Ridesharing is often seen as a possibility to increase the mobility of citizens in rural areas, especially in connection with existing public transport. Two platforms were examined and evaluated in the research project “GetMobil”, which focuses on the barriers and potentials in relation to the effects achieved. This was done with several surveys, analysis of usage data and expert interviews. The research showed that one common feature of both platforms was the low number of successfully completed rides. The question ...

Extreme droughts in oligotrophic mountain grasslands cause substantial species abundance changes and amplify community filtering
(2021-10-08)
Questions
Mountain grasslands can be strongly affected by extreme droughts such as those related to climate change. What are the impacts of extreme droughts on community composition, diversity, Ellenberg indicator scores and species groups in oligotrophic montane Nardus grasslands, and what are the associated mechanisms of vegetation change?
Location
Rhön Mountains, Germany.
Methods
Over three consecutive years, we investigated the effects of yearly droughts (April–August) in an experimental setup with rainout ...

Challenges in Solid Waste Management: Insights Into the Disposal Behavior of Suburban Consumers in Guatemala City
(2021-07-09)
Help, I need to get rid of it! In suburban areas of Guatemala City, inhabitants dispose of their household waste by burning it on their private property. Garbage collection coverage in the capital is inadequate, with only 85% of the generated waste being collected and collection rates in suburban areas lag far behind. This study examines the critical events, decisions and emotions linked with the disposition of household items of impoverished consumers living in the suburban area of Cumbre de San Nicolás near Guatemala ...

A Novel Approach to Robustly Determine Residual Stress in Additively Manufactured Microstructures Using Synchrotron Radiation
(2021-07-29)
In recent decades additive manufacturing (AM) for years has been in focus of academia and industry as its underlying production principle allows for the realization of designs of unprecedented geometrical complexity. However, often such structures are not realized due to the lack of understanding of structural and mechanical properties, this fact amongst others related to the unique microstructures established by the related processes. In this context, residual stresses, highly affected by the scan strategy and process ...
