Distributed Energy Balance Flux Modelling of Mass Balances in the Artesonraju Glacier and Discharge in the Basin of Artesoncocha, Cordillera Blanca, Peru
(2021-09-17)
A distributed energy balance model (DEBAM) is applied to estimate the mass balance of the Artesonraju glacier in the Cordillera Blanca (CB), Peru, and to simulate the ensuing discharge into its respective basin, Artesoncocha. The energy balance model calibrations show that, by using seasonal albedos, reasonable results for mass balances and discharge can be obtained, as witnessed by annually aggregated Nash Sutcliffe coefficients (E) of 0.60–0.87 for discharge and of 0.58–0.71 for mass measurements carried out in the ...

Heavy Metal Levels in Milk and Cheese Produced in the Kvemo Kartli Region, Georgia
(2021-09-21)
Milk and dairy products are among the most important food sectors in Georgia, and milk is considered one of the most essential foods in the human diet according to Georgian food culture. Kvemo Kartli is one of the major regions in Georgia for milk production. This region suffers from heavy metal contamination in soil and water because of the mining industry. This study was conducted to determine the concentrations of cadmium, lead, iron, zinc, copper, chromium, manganese, cobalt, nickel, selenium and molybdenum in ...

Instability Resistance Training improves Working Memory, Processing Speed and Response Inhibition in Healthy Older Adults: A Double-Blinded Randomised Controlled Trial
(2020-02-13)
Aging is associated with declines in physical and cognitive performance. While there is no doubt about beneficial effects of physical exercise on proxies of strength and balance, the overall evidence for positive effects of resistance and balance training on executive functions is rather inconsistent. Whether the simultaneous exercising of strength and balance, i.e., instability resistance training, promotes executive functions in older adults is unknown. In the present trial, we tested the effects of unstable vs. ...

Two-dimensional Wrinkle Resonators for Random Lasing in Organic Glasses
(2020-02-12)
Random lasers consisting of slab waveguides with two-dimensional disordered wrinkling patterns that act as scattering resonators are reported. As active material 2,2′,7,7′-tetraphenyl-9,9′-spirobifluorene is used which is sandwiched between an oxidized silicon wafer and a cladding with higher glass transition temperature. Wrinkles with tailorable periodicity have been induced by thermal annealing. Photopumping experiments show the transition from amplified spontaneous emission to a multiple peak laser spectrum with ...

Was passiert im Gründercoaching?
(2020-04-16)
Die vorliegende Studie exploriert die Rolle von Prozess- und Expertenberatung im Gründercoaching. Die Ergebnisse einer qualitativen Interviewstudie mit 44 Coaches zeigen, dass beide Modelle im Gründercoaching von Bedeutung sind, wobei deren Gewichtung sehr unterschiedlich ausfallen kann. Innerhalb des Prozessberatungsanteils gehen Coaches auf 17 verschiedene Themen ein, im Expertenberatungsanteil sind vier Themenbereiche relevant. Coaches setzen das jeweilige Beratungsmodell bewusst im Coachingprozess ein und reagieren ...

Gestalt in Coaching und Beratung
(2020-07-29)
Der Erfolg der Gestalttherapie besteht nicht nur darin, dass sie sich seitdem als wichtige Therapierichtung etabliert hat, sondern in ihren theoretischen und praktischen Einflüssen z. B. auf die Systemtheorie, die Motivations‑, Persönlichkeits‑, Lern- und Entwicklungs‑, Organisations- und Arbeitspsychologie sowie die praktischen Anwendungen in Coaching, Organisationsberatung und Change-Management. Die „offene Gestalt“, Achtsamkeit und „Awareness“, Orientierung an eigenen Bedürfnissen und Wünschen, Selbstsorge, ...

Examining the relevance of cultural ecosystem services in forest management in Europe
(2020)
The ecosystem services framework has become one of the most important paradigms in forest planning and management as a way to link the multiple provisioning, regulating, and cultural services derived from ecosystems and their benefits to human well-being. Recently, there have been multiple efforts in emphasizing the importance of cultural ecosystem services (CES). However, the consideration of CES in management models remains a challenge. In the current context of increased demand for the joint supply of multiple ...

Sozialräumliche Segregation und Bildungsungleichheiten in der Grundschule – eine Bestandsaufnahme
(2020-07-23)
Während bundesweit das 100-jährige Bestehen der Grundschule zelebriert und dabei häufig an das Gründungsversprechen erinnert wird, es handele sich um eine „Schule für alle“, wird im Beitrag auf Basis eines Überblicks empirischer Studien zu sozialräumlicher Segregation in Deutschland und damit zusammenhängenden Bildungsungleichheiten in der Grundschule geprüft, inwiefern jenes Credo der aktuellen empirischen Befundlage standhält. In der Folge wird argumentiert, dass sich künftig die Grundschulpädagogik vermehrt der ...

Social Sustainability Empowering the Economic Sustainability in the Global Apparel Supply Chain
(2020-03-25)
Scholarly discussion on the amalgamation of sustainability and supply chain management has been growing in the last decade. However, an integrated social and economic sustainability performance measurement in supply chains is an emerging avenue in the Sustainable Supply Chain Management discourse. Hence, the purpose of this study is to understand how socially sustainable practices affect economic sustainability performances in supply chains. A survey questionnaire and a conceptual framework were developed to explore ...

Factors and Components Affecting Dairy Smallholder Farmers and the Local Value Chain— Kvemo Kartli as an Example
(2021-05-20)
Smallholder farmers are the cornerstone of the livestock sector and an essential element in building and developing the local dairy value chain, critical for developing its local economy. In Georgia, and despite the efforts made since independence from the Soviet Union until now, farmers still face many problems that prevent them from participating effectively in developing the dairy value chain, especially heavy metal pollution that afflicts the study region. This research study refers to smallholder farmers’ ...
