Exploring the Supply-Demand-Discrepancy of Sustainable Financial Products in Germany from a Financial Advisor’s Point of View
(2018-03-23)
Although retail investors’ interest in sustainable investment is constantly increasing, German credit unions and co-operative banks offer few sustainable financial products. The purpose of the study is to explore the current gap between supply and demand of sustainable financial investments in German retail banking from a financial advisor’s point of view. We use qualitative analysis of interviews with financial advisors based on a Grounded Theory approach with the aim to identify the key causation in the cause-effect ...

Protein Phosphatase Sit4 Affects Lipid Droplet Synthesis and Soraphen A Resistance Independent of Its Role in Regulating Elongator Dependent tRNA Modification
(2018-07-11)
The protein phosphatase Sit4 has been shown to be required for lipogenesis and resistance against the acetyl-CoA carboxylase inhibitor soraphen A. Since Sit4 is also required for biosynthesis of Elongator dependent tRNA modifications such as 5-methoxycarbonylmethyluridine (mcm5U), we investigated the relevance of tRNA modifications in lipogenesis and soraphen A response. While sit4 and Elongator (elp3) mutants copy defects in mcm5U formation and stress sensitivity, they do not share soraphen A sensitivity and low ...

Temporal Airy pulses for controlled high aspect ratio nanomachining of dielectrics
(2016-04-05)
Understanding the interplay between optical pulse parameters and ultrafast material response is critical in achieving efficient and controlled laser nanomachining. In general, the key to initiate material processing is the deposition of a sufficient energy density within the electronic system. In dielectrics this critical energy density corresponds typically to a plasma frequency in the near-IR spectral region. Creating this density instantaneously with ultrashort laser pulses of a few tens of femtoseconds pulse ...

Temperature stability of static and dynamic properties of 1.55 μm quantum dot lasers
(2018-03-05)
Static and dynamic properties of InP-based 1.55 µm quantum dot (QD) lasers were investigated. Due to the reduced size inhomogeneity and a high dot density of the newest generation of 1.55 µm QD gain materials, ridge waveguide lasers (RWG) exhibit improved temperature stability and record-high modulation characteristics. Detailed results are shown for the temperature dependence of static properties including threshold current, voltage-current characteristics, external differential efficiency and emission wavelength. ...

Collaboration of tRNA modifications and elongation factor eEF1A in decoding and nonsense suppression
(2018-08-24)
Transfer RNA (tRNA) from all domains of life contains multiple modified nucleosides, the functions of which remain incompletely understood. Genetic interactions between tRNA modification genes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae suggest that different tRNA modifications collaborate to maintain translational efficiency. Here we characterize such collaborative functions in the ochre suppressor tRNA SUP4. We quantified ochre read-through efficiency in mutants lacking either of the 7 known modifications in the extended anticodon ...

The relevance of herders’ local ecological knowledge on coping with livestock losses during harsh winters in western Mongolia
(2018-01-29)
In many regions of the world, traditional and local ecological knowledge is still important today for coping with environmental challenges. This study explored the relevance of such knowledge for predicting and coping with harsh winter conditions (dzud) in a remote area of western Mongolia, where government support to disaster-affected herders is restricted by weak infrastructure. Structured face-to-face interviews were held in 50 households (HHs), addressing aspects of livestock possession and management as well as ...

Bewegte Lebenswelten – Einblicke in Raum- und Bewegungserleben in Ganztagsschulen aus Sicht von Kindern
(2020-11-17)
Vor dem Hintergrund des flächendeckenden Ausbaus ganztägiger Bildungsangebote als einem der größten bildungspolitischen Reformprojekte in Deutschland und des Diskurses zur Institutionalisierung von Kindheit bestand das Ziel der diesem Beitrag zugrundeliegenden Studie darin, mit einem partizipativ ausgerichteten Mixed-Methods-Design die Perspektive der Kinder auf Ganztagsschule als ihren Lebensort zu beleuchten. Mit einer aneignungstheoretischen Perspektive auf das Erleben von Raum und Bewegung in vorwiegend informellen ...

Agil, hierarchiefrei und selbstorganisiert im New Work oder überwältigt von Systemstrukturen und unterdrückten gruppendynamischen Prozessen im New Office
(2020-11-03)
Dieser Beitrag in der Zeitschrift Gruppe. Interaktion. Organisation. (GIO) stellt eine explorative qualitative Studie zum Erleben von Sinn und Bindung durch Mitarbeitende in agilen New Work Umwelten vor, indem sie Wirkungen von Selbstorganisation, flachen Hierarchien, und elaborierten agilen Systemarchitekturen im Gegenlicht von persönlichen Beziehungen, gruppendynamischen Prozessen und Aspekten des psychologischen Empowerments betrachtet.
Globalisierung, Digitalisierung und demographischer Wandel lassen Wettbewerb ...

No Evidence for Ionotropic Pheromone Transduction in the Hawkmoth Manduca sexta
(2016-11-09)
Insect odorant receptors (ORs) are 7-transmembrane receptors with inverse membrane topology. They associate with the conserved ion channel Orco. As chaperon, Orco maintains ORs in cilia and, as pacemaker channel, Orco controls spontaneous activity in olfactory receptor neurons. Odorant binding to ORs opens OR-Orco receptor ion channel complexes in heterologous expression systems. It is unknown, whether this also occurs in vivo. As an alternative to this ionotropic transduction, experimental evidence is accumulating ...

Toward Science-Based and Knowledge-Based Targets for Global Sustainable Resource Use
(2019-08-06)
The article discusses key aspects to be considered for the orientation of sustainable resource policies. Resource management at the local scale needs to be supplemented by governmental action in order to adjust production and consumption toward acceptable levels of global resource use. What is acceptable is being informed by scientific findings on environmental degradation and relevant cause–effect relationships. However, the desired state of the environment, the tolerable level of uncertainties about environmental ...
