Phenotypic and genetic diversity of domestic yak (Bos grunniens) in high-altitude rangelands of Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan
(2022-07-04)
Due to climate change, irrigated agriculture may become restricted in the mountain valleys in northern Pakistan in the future. Hence, the importance of yak (Bos grunniens) keeping in the mountain ranges as risk-mitigating strategy for mountain dwellers will potentially increase. However, little is known about the current status of the domestic yak in this region. We therefore used phenotypic characteristics and 13 microsatellite loci to determine the phenotypic differences and the level of genetic differentiation ...

Neue Rechte, Rechtspopulismus und Soziale Arbeit
(2022-08-02)
Die Einleitung in den Themenschwerpunkt „Neue Rechte, Rechtspopulismus und Soziale Arbeit“ skizziert aktuelle rechtspopulistische respektive neurechte Entwicklungen und stellt deren Bezugspunkte zur Sozialen Arbeit dar.
Waren zu Beginn der 2000er Jahre Reaktionen auf mögliche Zusammenhänge rechter Orientierungen und Sozialer Arbeit noch verhalten bis abwehrend, so hat die Auseinandersetzung mit entsprechenden Phänomenen in den letzten Jahren deutlich zugenommen. Die Einleitung in den Schwerpunkt diskutiert Konzepte, ...

Influence of Fiber Volume in Hybrid Short Glass/Cellulose Reinforced Thermoplastic Compounds
(2022-09-22)
Glass fibers (GF) and regenerated cellulose fibers (RCF) are possible partners in the hybrid reinforcement of thermoplastics because of their different properties. Due to the weak bonding properties of polypropylene, coupling agents are used and the fiber volume content is set high to achieve high reinforcing effects. A lower fiber content of GF can raise the toughness properties of a reinforced polypropylene which is investigated in this study with different ratios of GF and RCF.
The composites are tested in tensile ...

Take it or leave it? Investigating the ambivalence and willingness to pay for suboptimal fruits and vegetables among organic consumers in Germany
(2022-10-06)
Organic fruits and vegetables are often visually “suboptimal” because organic farming uses neither pesticides nor synthetic fertilisers to improve the cosmetic appearance of the produce. Despite the organic sector's natural and sustainable image, such foods often never reach the market or are left on the shelf, greatly increasing food waste. The current work hypothesised that an important factor in the rejection of suboptimal food is consumers' experience of ambivalence regarding these products. Data were collected ...

Sharing and Space‐Commoning Knowledge Through Urban Living Labs Across Different European Cities
(2022-08-25)
While the growing commodification of housing and public spaces in European cities is producing urban inequalities affecting mostly migrant and vulnerable populations, there are also manifold small-scale neighbourhood-based collaborative processes that seek to co-produce shared urban resources and contribute to more resilient urban developments. As part of the ProSHARE research project that investigates conditions in which sharing takes place and can be expanded to less-represented populations, we focus here on sharing ...

Effects of Mangosteen Peel Phenolic Compounds on Tilapia Skin Collagen-Based Mineralized Scaffold Properties
(2022-09-16)
A proper valorization of biological waste sources for an effective conversion into composites for tissue engineering is discussed in this study. Hence, the collagen and the phenolic compound applied in this investigation were extracted from waste sources, respectively, fish industry rejects and the peels of the mangosteen fruit. Porous scaffolds were prepared by combining both components at different compositions and mineralized at different temperatures to evaluate the modifications in the biomimetic formation of ...

Das Wohlbefinden von Kindern als elterliches Konstrukt
(2022-07-03)
Der Beitrag beschäftigt sich mit der Perspektive von Eltern auf das Wohlbefinden ihrer Kinder unter dem Eindruck der pandemiebedingten Schließungen von Kindertageseinrichtungen. Auf Basis qualitativ-rekonstruktiver Analysen kann gezeigt werden, wie sich die Wahrnehmungen der eigenen und der kindlichen Handlungsmächtigkeit bedingen. In Verbindung mit der Verfügbarkeit des Zugangs zur sog. Notbetreuung beeinflusst dieses Verhältnis das Belastungserleben.

Multi-Task Autoencoders and Transfer Learning for Day-Ahead Wind and Photovoltaic Power Forecasts
(2022-10-30)
Integrating new renewable energy resources requires robust and reliable forecasts to ensure a stable electrical grid and avoid blackouts. Sophisticated representation learning techniques, such as autoencoders, play an essential role, as they allow for the extraction of latent features to forecast the expected generated wind and photovoltaic power for the next seconds up to days. Thereby, autoencoders reduce the required training time and the time spent in manual feature engineering and often improve the forecast ...

Role of Nanoimprint Lithography for Strongly Miniaturized Optical Spectrometers
(2021-01-11)
Optical spectrometers and sensors have gained enormous gimportance in metrology and information technology, frequently involving the question of size, resolution, sensitivity, spectral range, efficiency, reliability, and cost. Nanomaterials and nanotechnological fabrication technologies have huge potential to enable an optimization between these demands, which in some cases are counteracting each other. This paper focuses on the visible and near infrared spectral range and on five types of optical sensors (optical ...

Agro-ecological landuse transformation in oasis systems of Al Jabal Al Akhdar, northern Oman
(2021-04-08)
The millenia-old oasis systems in the Western Hajar Mountains of Northern Oman have received widespread attention as models of sustainable irrigated agriculture in hyperarid Arabia. Given Oman’s rampant urbanization, growing scarcity of water and skilled labour, we quantified chances in water use, land use, and land cover between 2007 and 2018 using a rare time-series approach of detailed GIS-based crop mapping. Results from satellite image analysis and comprehensive ground truthing showed that urban areas grew from ...
