Predicting Lifetime Suicide Attempts in a Community Sample of Adolescents Using Machine Learning Algorithms
(2023-04-24)
Suicide is a major global health concern and a prominent cause of death in adolescents. Previous research on suicide prediction has mainly focused on clinical or adult samples. To prevent suicides at an early stage, however, it is important to screen for risk factors in a community sample of adolescents. We compared the accuracy of logistic regressions, elastic net regressions, and gradient boosting machines in predicting suicide attempts by 17-year-olds in the Millennium Cohort Study (N = 7,347), combining a large ...

Perfect apples or sustainable production?—Consumer perspectives from Germany
(2023-08-23)
In recent years, environmental problems, such as resource depletion and biodiversity loss, have come to the forefront of society's attention. Consumption of fruits and vegetables from extensive production systems could decrease food loss and increase biodiversity and more sustainable resource use. However, fruits and vegetables from extensive production systems are not always of perfect external quality, and hence, rejected by consumers. To increase acceptance of imperfect fruits, this study aims to better understand ...

Bond strength, failure criteria and calculation methods for adhesively bonded timber–concrete composites
(2024-04)
The bond strength of adhesively bonded timber–concrete composites (ATCC) with prefabricated concrete elements is usually described using the shear strength of the timber. This approach, however, often fails to consider the actual failure modes of the bondline and also the interaction between shear stresses and stresses perpendicular to the bondline has not yet been comprehensively understood. To address this limitation, a reliable calculation method is required, where stress determination, failure criterion, and ...

Drought stress triggers differential survival and functional trait responses in the establishment of Arnica montana seedlings
(2021-07-15)
- The establishment and survival of seedlings are critical stages in the life cycle of plants and therefore usually well timed to humid and favourable conditions. Climate projections suggest that the threatened mountain grassland species Arnica montana may be increasingly exposed to drought stress. However, studies that focus on the species’ early development are missing. We evaluated impacts of drought-induced stress on A. montana seedlings in their early establishment phase and identified traits that could cause ...

Sustainability assessment of activated carbon from residual biomass used for micropollutant removal at a full-scale wastewater treatment plant
(2020-05-29)
Activated carbon (AC), used for removal of organic micropollutants in European wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), is usually produced from non-renewable resources that need to be transported over long distances. Utilising local residual biomass as a raw material may be advantageous in terms of sustainability. This study investigated the environmental and energy balances of using biowaste and biomass from landscape management for micropollutant removal at a commercial scale WWTP. Both residual biomasses were processed ...

Co-Creation durch Peers im digitalen Lernen – Wie Plattformen und Chatbots die Partizipation bei der Lernmaterialerstellung begleiten können
(2020-07-07)
Die Arbeit in Industrieunternehmen verändert sich auf Grund der Digitalisierung grundlegend. Entwicklungen in der Automatisierungstechnik können in naher Zukunft einen Teil der Arbeit von Arbeitnehmenden ersetzen. Dadurch wird es notwendig sein, sich auf die sich schnell wechselnden Qualifikationsanforderungen aus diesem Digitalisierungsprozess einzustellen. Hierzu gehört einerseits die schnelle Reaktionsfähigkeit auf die fortlaufenden Veränderungen, die in Unternehmen stattfinden, beispielsweise die Einbettung neuer ...

The Dark Triad and Deception Perceptions
(2019-08-13)
The present cross-sectional study (N = 205) tested the hypothesis that the Dark Triad traits – narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy – and the PID-5 maladaptive personality traits – Negative Affectivity, Detachment, Antagonism, Disinhibition, and Psychoticism – are associated with specific deception-related perceptions: perceived cue-based deception detectability, perceived deception production ability, and perceived deception detection ability. Participants completed personality and deception measures in an ...

Best, Heinrich/Higley, John (Hrsg.): The Palgrave Handbook of Political Elites, 698 S., Palgrave Macmillan, London 2018.
(2020-01-16)
Heinrich Best (Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena) und John Higley (University of Connecticut) haben mit dem knapp 700 Seiten umfassenden Handbuch eine bemerkenswerte Bestandsaufnahme der Forschung zu politischen Eliten vorgelegt. Beide Herausgeber haben sich über mehrere Jahrzehnte hinweg mit diesem Thema beschäftigt. Politische Eliten sind dabei nicht in einem engen Sinne ausschließlich als politische Entscheidungsträger zu verstehen, sondern werden weiter definiert als alle Personen, die Einfluss auf politische ...

Material Flow Cost Accounting in Developing Countries: A Systematic Review
(2020-07-04)
This study aims to provide a better understanding of material flow cost accounting (MFCA) application in developing countries, which are characterized by rapid structure transformation leading to serious environmental problems. By systematically reviewing the existing literature, our analysis of 28 studies from nine developing countries (China, Indonesia, Iran, Malaysia, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Thailand, the Philippines, and Vietnam) shows that MFCA research has primarily focused on Asian developing countries. ...

Boxwood Borer Heterobostrychus brunneus (Coleoptera: Bostrichidae) Infesting Dried Cassava: A Current Record from Southern Ethiopia
(2017-01-27)
Insect specimens of adult beetles and larvae of 7–9 and 9–10 mm length, respectively were collected from infested dry cassava at two locations from multiple stores in southern Ethiopia. The specimens were identified as Heterobostrychus brunneus (Murray, 1867) commonly known as boxwood borer and auger beetle. The study presents a current record of H. brunneus in Ethiopia, particularly in the context of infesting food products. Additionally, a wide geographical distribution of the pest was reviewed and presented in ...
