Green in grey: ecosystem services and disservices perceptions from small-scale green infrastructure along a rural-urban gradient in Bengaluru, India
(2023-06-25)
Ecosystem services provided by green infrastructure are often discussed for their potential to address the societal challenges of urbanization. However, green infrastructure, particularly small-scale types (e.g. trees), is vulnerable to loss through urbanization and is often passed over during scientific investigations. Studies on the perceptions of ecosystem services and disservices (hereafter called ecosystem (dis)services) dynamics along the ruralurban gradient are particularly rare in the literature. Therefore, ...

Experimental quantification of site-specific efficiency of Interatomic Coulombic Decay after inner shell ionization
(2023-03-17)
Interatomic Coulombic Decay (ICD) and related interatomic and intermolecular autoionization mechanisms are ubiquitous decay processes of excited atoms and molecules in an environment. It is commonly accepted that the efficiency of ICD of an ionized atom in a cluster increases with an increasing number of nearest neighbors. Here, we present a method for experimental validation of this assumption by a site-specific and quantitative comparison of ICD and its main competitor, Auger decay, in core-level ionized Kr clusters. ...

Polycentric Water Governance in Spain
(Transcript, 2023)
Increasing irrigation efficiency has been high on the political agenda in Spain for many years. However, the overarching aim to reduce agricultural water consumption has not been met so far. Nora Schütze investigates processes of coordination between the water and agricultural sector in three Spanish river basins in the context of the EU Water Framework Directive implementation. From the perspective of polycentric governance, she identifies multiple mechanisms which illustrate how and why actors interact in certain ...

Agentic and communal narcissism in predicting different types of lies in romantic relationships
(2023-07-03)
Several studies have investigated a potential positive association between agentic narcissism and general dishonesty, revealing both supportive and contradicting evidence. Few have focused on dishonesty within romantic relationships, a phenomenon that occurs in almost all partnerships. With the present research, we first aimed to extend existing literature on narcissism by including its two complementary facets (i.e., agentic and communal narcissism). Second, we aimed to improve the understanding of narcissists’ lying ...

Anarchitext. Andreas Neumeisters Poetik und sein erzähltes Bauen in Könnte Köln sein
(Neofelis, 2023)
Obwohl der Autor und Künstler Andreas Neumeister mit zu den bekanntesten deutschen Popliterat*innen zählt, setzt sich dieser Band erstmals umfassend wissenschaftlich mit seinen collagenartigen Texten auseinander. Unter dem ‚Deckmantel‘ des Romans verschmelzen bei Neumeister zahlreiche mediale Versatzstücke zu einem dichten Abbild gesellschaftlicher Gegenwart und stellen die politische Dimension alltäglicher und/oder urbaner Kulissen aus. Seine Texte arbeiten dabei mit popästhetischen Methoden – wie Montagen, ...

The UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities : Multi-Level Comparative Study of Legal and Political Implementation in Germany, Austria and Denmark
(Nomos, 2023)
The Convention of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) is a document which is centred in a process of legal, societal and political change that takes place in nearly all states of the world. While the formal success of now 186 ratifications is measurable, it is quite difficult to measure and analyse the impact of the CRPD on laws, politics and on the living conditions of persons with disabilities in the societies. Law in books is not necessary law in action, and law in action is not necessarily changing ...

Predictors of post-stroke depression: Validation of established risk factors and introduction of a dynamic perspective in two longitudinal studies
(2023-02-13)
Introduction: Cerebral insults lead in many cases not only to cognitive impairment but also to disturbed emotionality. After stroke, one in three survivors develops a depression which impacts quality of life and rehabilitation. Meta-analyses have identified five main predictors of post-stroke depression (PSD): history of mental disorder, stroke severity, physical disability, cognitive impairment, and social support. However, these five established variables have never been conjointly investigated in a sample of stroke ...

Textkomplexität und Textverstehen
(De Gruyter, 2023-04-03)
In everyday language, complexity as a term is characterised by semantic fuzziness and usually describes phenomena that are difficult to assess. For disciplines that study the understanding of texts, it has proven useful to define text complexity as the set of dynamic interactions that arise when the linguistic and cultural levels of a text are activated in the process of understanding. These activations, which lead to semantic constructions and a mental model of the text, are complex and difficult to grasp, as they ...

Is the perceptual disfluency effect moderated by working memory capacity? Direct replication of Lehmann et al. (2016)
(2023-12-30)
According to an aptitude-treatment interaction experiment (Lehmann et al., Metacognition and Learning, 11, 89–105, 2016, N = 47, published in Metacognition and Learning), perceptually disfluent texts facilitated retention and comprehension performance (but not transfer performance) only for learners with higher working memory capacity (WMC). No effects of WMC for a fluent text were found (albeit theoretically, fluency may be more advantageous for learners with lower WMC). The findings of our (pre-registered) direct ...
