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 ...

Evidence of considerable C and N transfer from peas to cereals via direct root contact but not via mycorrhiza
(2021-06-01)
Intercropping of legumes and cereals is an important management method for improving yield stability, especially in organic farming systems. However, knowledge is restricted on the relevance of different nutrient transfer pathways. The objective of the study was to quantify nitrogen (N) and carbon (C) transfer from peas to triticale by (1) direct root contact (= R), (2) arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF; = A), and (3) diffusion (= D). Pea (Pisum sativum cv. Frisson and P2) and triticale (Triticum × Secale cv. Benetto) ...

Deutungen von Bildung frühpädagogischer Fachkräfte
(2021-08-20)
Kindertageseinrichtungen gelten als Bildungsinstitutionen und leisten einen wesentlichen Beitrag zur Gestaltung des Aufwachsens von Kindern in Deutschland. Dabei spielen die frühpädagogischen Fachkräfte als Gestalter_innen und Ermöglicher_innen von Bildungsprozessen für Kinder eine entscheidende Rolle. Der Beitrag nimmt ihre Vorstellungen von Bildung und worauf sich diese gründen in den Blick.

Detecting Careless Responding in Survey Data Using Stochastic Gradient Boosting
(2021-04-19)
Careless responding is a bias in survey responses that disregards the actual item content, constituting a threat to the factor structure, reliability, and validity of psychological measurements. Different approaches have been proposed to detect aberrant responses such as probing questions that directly assess test-taking behavior (e.g., bogus items), auxiliary or paradata (e.g., response times), or data-driven statistical techniques (e.g., Mahalanobis distance). In the present study, gradient boosted trees, a ...

Recent Developments in the Field of Modified Patankar-Runge-Kutta-methods
(2021-12-14)
Modified Patankar-Runge-Kutta (MPRK) schemes are numerical one-step methods for the solution of positive and conservative production-destruction systems (PDS). They adapt explicit Runge-Kutta schemes in a way to ensure positivity and conservation of the numerical approximation irrespective of the chosen time step size. Due to nonlinear relationships between the next and current iterate, the stability analysis for such schemes is lacking. In this work, we introduce a strategy to analyze the MPRK22(α)-schemes in the ...

Durability Properties of Ultra-High Performance Lightweight Concrete (UHPLC) with Expanded Glass
(2021-10-05)
It is important to ensure the durability and safety of structures. In the case of newly developed materials that are outside the current rules, it is important to investigate all aspects of structural safety. The material studied in the following is a structural lightweight concrete with an ultra-high-performance matrix and expanded glass as a lightweight aggregate. The material, with a compressive strength of 60–100 MPa and a bulk density of 1.5–1.9 kg/dm³, showed high capillary porosities of 12 vol% (ultra-high-performance ...

Developing and publishing strong empirical research in sustainability management - adressing the intersection of theory, method, and empirical field
(2021-02-05)
Students starting their research into sustainability management are often driven by a normative assumption of wanting “to do something good” or “save the world” from this or that problem. This also holds for many researchers, where the pressure to do research that has an immediate impact on the local business or natural environment is paramount. This often gets into the way of developing sound research that might pass the review process in strong academic journals. Good (empirical) research builds on the interplay ...

Hybride Wissensarbeit
(2021-04-30)
Aufgrund der Fortschritte im Bereich der künstlichen Intelligenz (KI) ergeben sich neue Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten zur Reorganisation von Wissensarbeit an der Schnittstelle von Menschen und Maschine. Durch die Verschmelzung von menschlicher und künstlicher Intelligenz können komplementäre Stärken zum Lösen von Arbeitsaufgaben gebündelt werden. Neuartige Wissensarbeitssysteme sind erforderlich, die Wissensarbeitende sowohl bei der Ausübung von Routineaufgaben als auch Nichtroutineaufgaben unterstützen.
Der Schlagwortartikel ...

A Study of Extensions of Classical Summation Theorems for the Series ₃F₂ and ₄F₃ with Applications
(2021-03-16)
Very recently, Masjed-Jamei & Koepf [Some summation theorems for generalized hypergeometric functions, Axioms, 2018, 7, 38, 10.3390/axioms 7020038] established some summation theorems for the generalized hypergeometric functions. The aim of this paper is to establish extensions of some of their summation theorems in the most general form. As an application, several Eulerian-type and Laplace-type integrals have also been given. Results earlier obtained by Jun et al. and Koepf et al. follow special cases of our main findings.

Does social exclusion improve detection of real and fake smiles? A replication study
(2021-01-28)
Research on social exclusion suggests an increased attention of excluded persons to subtle social cues. In one study (N = 32), published in Psychological Science,Bernstein et al. (2008) provided evidence for this idea by showing that participants in the social exclusion condition were better in correctly categorizing a target person’s smile as real or fake. Although highly cited, this finding has never been directly replicated.
The present study aimed to fill that gap. 201 participants (79.1% female) were randomly ...
