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 ...

Consumers' body image expressions: Reflection of a Snow White or an Evil Queen
(2023-03-17)
Introduction: The aim of this paper is to explore how minimal-self impacts the body image, projecting it as a reflection of one's approach toward their health and mental well-being.
Methods: The study takes qualitative data from two countries India and Germany and draws on a qualitative study of 20 individuals who are involved in some kind of physical activity for a long time. This paper examines the body image perspectives from Grimms Brothers fairytale characters showcasing fit and healthy perspectives on Snow ...

Can carbon payments improve profitability of traditional conventional and organic cocoa agroforests? A case study in the Eastern Region of Ghana
(2023-03-16)
This study investigates the carbon (C) sequestration of traditional cocoa agroforestry systems in the Eastern Region of Ghana and the theoretical impact of CO₂ emission rights trading on their profitability. The study was conducted in four villages of Suhum Municipality, two each with either conventional or organic cocoa cultivation systems. Profitability was calculated using net present value of net cashflow (NPV), benefit cost ratio (BCR), and modified internal rate of return (MIRR). Carbon revenues were calculated ...

Lifetime Prediction with Combined Hygro-Thermo-Mechanical Influences on Thick Layer Adhesives
(2023-05-31)
Semi-structural bonded joints of steel components are exposed to long-term stresses in addition to water diffusion, temperature changes and varying external forces during operation. These hygro-thermomechanical loadings lead to successive degradation of stiffness and strength due to damage resulting from chemical aging and fatigue processes, causing failure of the bonded joint when its service life is reached. In the following contribution, a methodology is presented to predict the service life of hygro-thermo-mechanically ...

The Internal Structure of the Velvet Worm Projectile Slime: A Small-Angle Scattering Study
(2023-02-24)
For prey capture and defense, velvet worms eject an adhesive slime which has been established as a model system for recyclable complex liquids. Triggered by mechanical agitation, the liquid bio-adhesive rapidly transitions into solid fibers. In order to understand this mechanoresponsive behavior, here, the nanostructural organization of slime components are studied using small-angle scattering with neutrons and X-rays. The scattering intensities are successfully described with a three-component model accounting for ...

Mapping redistribution in terms of family: A European comparison
(2023-04-24)
Redistribution is one of the fundamental characteristics of developed societies. While societal redistribution between working and non-working citizens has been studied intensively, redistribution in terms of family has been analysed mainly as private redistribution. In this contribution, we study societal redistribution in terms of family by systematically analysing its regulation and simulating its results. We map family-related redistribution in Europe by analysing to whom financial resources are granted (benefits) ...
