Showcasing the multifaceted aspects of agricultural transformation: The example of mountain oases in Oman
(2022-11-11)
In the Anthropocene the consequences of land-use transformation on ecosystem services are of growing concern, particularly in fragile areas of mountain agriculture that often represent high nature-value farmland. This study uses a decadal repeated survey approach to analyse the effects of modernisation on oasis systems in the Jabal Al Akhdar region of northern Oman. This rugged mountain region at the north-eastern tip of the Arabian Peninsula experiences a growing influx of regional and international tourists since ...

Designing a Co-creation System for the Development of Work-process-related Learning Material in Manufacturing
(2022-01-12)
The increasing digitalization and automatization in the manufacturing industry as well as the need to learn on the job has reinforced the need for much more granular learning, which has not yet impacted the design of learning materials. In this regard, granular learning concepts require situated learning materials to support self-directed learning in the workplace in a targeted manner. Co-creation approaches offer promising opportunities to support employees in the independent design of such situated learning materials. ...

Spatial and Temporal Variations of Stable Isotopes in Precipitation in the Mountainous Region, North Hesse
(2022-12-01)
Patterns of stable isotopes of water (¹⁸O and ²H) in precipitation have been used as tracers for analyzing environmental processes which can be changed by factors such as the topography or meteorological variables. In this study, we investigated the isotopic data in precipitation for one year in the low mountain range of North Hesse, Germany, and analyzed mainly for altitude, rainfall amount, and air temperature effects on a regional scale. The results indicate that the isotopic composition expressed an altitude ...

Bedeutende Städte jenseits der Metropolen? Regiopolen und ihre Rolle im deutschen Städtesystem
(2022-11-10)
Regiopolen und Regiopolregionen erfahren eine bisher kaum dagewesene Aufmerksamkeit in der deutschen Raumordnungspolitik. Neben der Förderung des deutschen RegioPole-Netzwerks durch den Bund sind Regiopolen und Regiopolregionen bereits in mehreren Raumordnungsplänen ausgewiesen. Im wissenschaftlichen Diskurs werden Regiopolen hingegen kaum aufgegriffen. Das zeigt sich insbesondere daran, dass zwar mit Dimensionen wie Stadtgröße (mehr als 100.000 Einwohner) und räumlicher Lage (außerhalb der Metropolregionen) operiert ...

Interrupting the neoliberal masculine state machinery? Strategic selectivities and municipalist practice in Barcelona and Zagreb
(2022-07-07)
All municipalist initiatives are confronted with what Marx called the ‘state machinery’: an ensemble of apparatuses protecting the status quo of capitalist accumulation. It is difficult for municipalist movements to sustain their momentum of storming the city halls in the face of this reality. Looking at Barcelona En Comú (Barcelona in Common) and Zagreb Je NAŠ! (Zagreb Is Ours!), the article discusses what experiences municipalist actors gain when inspecting the state machinery close up. We identify the traces they ...

Sustainable value in the fashion industry: A case study of value construction/destruction using digital twins
(2022-12-14)
New technologies—especially the emergence of digital fashion and a growing interest in creating digital twins (DTs)—are expected to alter existing value chains in the fashion industry as DT technology triggers a redesign of value creation processes. This qualitative case study demonstrates how and to what extent the development of DTs in the fashion industry addresses the sustainability needs of various stakeholders in both real-world and virtual-reality settings. The article examines the possibilities, benefits, and ...

Stuck in between. Phenomenology’s Explanatory Dilemma and its Role in Experimental Practice
(2022-10-22)
Questions about phenomenology’s role in non-philosophical disciplines gained renewed attention. While we claim that phenomenology makes indispensable, unique contributions to different domains of scientific practice such as concept formation, experimental design, and data collection, we also contend that when it comes to explanation, phenomenological approaches face a dilemma. Either phenomenological attempts to explain conscious phenomena do not satisfy a central constraint on explanations, i.e. the asymmetry between ...

Course characteristics influencing students’ oral participation in higher education
(2022-11-21)
Many teachers strive for lively student participation in class. This field study examined aspects of learning environments in higher education with regard to their connection with students’ oral engagement. Overall, six factors that might increase or decrease oral participation were investigated: the number of teacher questions, course atmosphere, level of demand, student preparation (e.g., through homework), class size, and subject discipline. The sample consisted of 80 courses of diverse disciplines at a public ...

Photoelectron circular dichroism of a model chiral anion
(2022-01-18)
Photoelectron circular dichroism (PECD) in the one-photon detachment of a model chiral anionic system is studied theoretically by the single center method. The computed chiral asymmetry, characterized by the dichroic parameter β1 of up to about ±3%, is in good accord with the first experimental observations of the effect in photodetachment of amino acid anions [P. Krüger and K. M. Weitzel, Angew. Chem., Int. Ed. 60, 17861 (2021)]. Our findings confirm a general assumption that the magnitude of PECD is governed by the ...
