Influence of effluent particles and particle-bound micropollutants on the removal of micropollutants and UVA₂₅₄ in wastewater effluent ozonation
(2024-01-09)
This study systematically investigated the influence of effluent particles and activated sludge (AS) particles on the removal of micropollutants via wastewater effluent ozonation within typical effluent total suspended solids (TSS) concentrations. A series of batch experiments revealed that particle concentrations up to 30 mg/L had a minor impact on the removal of organic micropollutants (OMPs) in the aqueous phase. Moreover, the reduction of UV absorbance at 254 nm (UVA₂₅₄) was negatively correlated to the level of ...

Exploring the evolutionary dynamics of myrmecophytism: Perspectives from the Southeast Asian Macaranga ant-plant symbiosis
(2024-02-09)
Myrmecophytic plants utilise defensive services offered by obligate ant partners nesting in their domatia in a novel means of survival in tropical habitats. Although much is known about the ecology of myrmecophytism, there aren’t enough empirical examples to demonstrate whether it substantially influences evolutionary patterns in host plant lineages. In this study, we make use of the species-rich Macaranga (Euphorbiaceae) ant-plant symbiosis distributed in the Southeast Asian Sundaland to delve into the evolutionary ...

Crying in psychotherapy: an exploratory mixed-methods study on forms of emotional crying and associated therapeutic interventions
(2024-04-17)
Emotional tears can be interpreted as expressions of our deepest inner lives, and yet they have largely been ignored in psychotherapy research. This study addresses this gap. Based on grounded theory and using a sequential mixed-methods design, we examined the interaction between therapist and patient during episodes of crying in video-recorded psychotherapy sessions. This resulted in two rating systems: one differentiates forms of patient emotional crying, and the other categorizes therapeutic interventions associated ...

Performance, carcass quality and meat quality of the endangered German Angler Saddleback pig
(2024-04-30)
The Angler Saddleback pig is an endangered local breed originating from Germany. The breed is said to have low demands in terms of husbandry and feeding, and an excellent meat quality. To date, there is a lack of more recent scientific investigations of the breed. Therefore, 58 Angler Saddleback pigs were fattened in two consecutive trials whereby performance, carcass quality and meat quality were assessed. At an average age of 324 days, the pigs reached an average final live weight of 143 kg, an intramuscular fat ...

Influence of deep rolling at different temperatures on near-surface and mechanical properties of a Maraging C250 steel
(2024-04-27)
Due to an outstanding combination of high strength and fracture toughness Maraging steels are used in numerous industries, e.g., in the aerospace sector. The high strength can be attributed to precipitation strengthening by conventional age-hardening heat treatments. However, as many of the envisaged applications will suffer from cyclic loadings, the fatigue properties are of significant interest in terms of a reliable use. Generally, Maraging steels are characterized by a relatively low fatigue strength limiting the ...

Die private und die verteilte Person. Studien zu Personalisierung und Privatheit in Zeiten der Digitalisierung
(Transcript, 2024)
Die »Person« ist kein Synonym für »Mensch«, sondern eine soziale Existenzweise für menschliche und nichtmenschliche Wesen. Während die Person der Moderne an das Private gebunden ist, wird sie mit der Digitalisierung neu situiert. Fabian Pittroff analysiert diese Entwicklung in einer Serie von Studien, die sich umfassenden Aspekten widmen: der Sozialtheorie der Person, der Geschichte des Privaten, der Krise demokratischer Institutionen, der avantgardistischen Postprivacy-Bewegung, der Digitalisierung der Freundschaft, ...

Sozialrechtsbezogene Beratung
(Springer VS, 2024)
In diesem Buch wird erstmals die sozialrechtsbezogene Beratung von Verbänden als Strategie im Zugang zum Recht in die Tiefe gehend analysiert und anhand von drei exemplarisch dargestellten Beratungssituationen die Herstellung eines Zugangs zum System sozialer Sicherung rekonstruiert. Die Beratung der Sozialverbände zu sozialen Problemlagen ist ein historisch gewachsenes Gefüge im Sozialstaat. Sie tragen mit ihrer Beratung dazu bei, dass Bürger:innen im Bedarfsfall Barrieren im Zugang zum System sozialer Sicherung ...

Main soil microbial groups assessed by phospholipid fatty acid analysis of temperate alley agroforestry systems on crop- and grassland
(2024-01-12)
The phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) composition of soils was analysed at three poplar-based silvo-arable systems and at one willow-based silvo-grassland alley agroforestry system in Central Germany. The objective was to analyse tree row effects on the PLFA composition of main fungal and main bacterial groups. The fungal groups were BAM (Basidiomycota + Ascomycota + Mucoromycota) and AMF (Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi). The bacterial groups were Gram-negative, Firmicutes, and Actinobacteria. The total PLFA content varied ...

Psychotherapie wirkt
(2024-01-08)
Psychotherapie ist eine kooperative und individualisierte Behandlung zur Förderung der psychischen Gesundheit, die sich in (post-)modernen Gesellschaften weiterentwickelt. Psychotherapieerfolg umfasst ein breites Spektrum von Kriterien, wie beispielsweise die Verringerung von symptombezogenem Leidensdruck sowie die Förderung von Wohlbefinden, persönlichen Werten, Stärken und psychosozialer Partizipation. Es liegen umfangreiche metaanalytische Belege dafür vor, dass Psychotherapie bei den häufigsten psychischen Störungen ...
