On the Finite Orthogonality of q-Pseudo-Jacobi Polynomials
(2020-08-08)
Using the Sturm–Liouville theory in q-difference spaces, we prove the finite orthogonality of q-Pseudo Jacobi polynomials. Their norm square values are then explicitly computed by means of the Favard theorem.

Changes in Dairy Products Value Chain in Georgia
(2020-07-22)
The livestock sector, as a part of the traditional food system in Georgia, occupies a considerable portion of the national economy. Though smallholder farmers are the key suppliers at the primary stage in the food value chain, the empowerment of smallholder farmers in the dairy production system in Georgia is a questionable matter. This research study reports the results of changes in the dairy sector in Georgia (Caucasus) after becoming independent from the Soviet Union (literature survey) and how these changes are ...

Articulating Body, Territory, and the Defence of Life: The Politics of Strategic Equivalencing between Women in Anti‐Mining Movements and the Feminist Movement in Peru
(2020-09-16)
In Latin America, rural and indigenous women have mobilised in defence of their territories and built strategic alliances with urban and mestiza feminist movements. This paper focuses on how these processes have played out in Peru, tracing the development of the discourse on ‘body as territory’, which articulates sexual and reproductive rights with territorial autonomy. It discusses the ‘cosmopolitics’ of translating the distinct concerns and worldviews of the women involved, arguing that this discourse has enabled ...

Summer aridity rather than management shapes fitness‐related functional traits of the threatened mountain plant Arnica montana
(2020-05-08)
Semi‐natural mountain grasslands are increasingly exposed to environmental stress under climate change. However, which are the environmental factors that limit plants in these grasslands? Also, is the present management effective against these changes? Fitness‐related functional traits may offer a way to detect changes in performance and provide new insights into their vulnerability to climate change. We investigated changes in performance and variability of functional traits of the mountain grassland target species ...

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 ...
