Empirical Analyses of the Emergence and the Effect of Inter-municipal Cooperation
(2020-08)
This dissertation presents four empirical studies on inter-municipal cooperation (IMC). IMC gained prominence lately as alternative to local government reform. As local decision makers grow weary of the political costs of amalgamations and discouraging empirical evidence on the effectiveness of such reforms, IMC promises a more flexible approach to the provision of public goods and services.
What are the factors that drive the emergence of IMC? This question is answered by way of survival analysis, using data of ...

Rezensionen 1769-1800
(Wilhelm Fink, 2016)
Der Artikel diskutiert Johann Gottfried Herders Rezensionen, welche nach dem Aufbruch zur ‚französischen Reise‘ im Juni 1769 entstanden sind. Unter Berücksichtigung der Publikationsorgane sowie biographischer Aspekte wird die Forschung gebündelt und bereichert.

An approach to the use of technology in the cocoa-growing sector: a look from the producer
(Section Specialized Partnerships in Sustainable Food Systems and Food Sovereignty at the University of Kassel, Germany and Federation of German Scientists (VDW), 2020-03-06)
A study was conducted to keep scientific record of the challenges and opportunities of the insertion of a mobile app for cocoa producers in the Colombia region as a prospective tool or strategy for technological transfer and appropriation into that sector. A survey with structured and semi-structured questions that pertained to cocoa producer men and women was conducted. The questions were related to the general conditions of their labour activities and were discriminant in the following categories: cocoa-grower ...

Literale Praktiken von ambulant betreuten Beschäftigten in Werkstätten für behinderte Menschen
(wbv, 2020)
Die LEO-Studien 2010 und 2018 sind für die in Deutschland lebende Wohnbevölkerung repräsentativ. Einige Bevölkerungsgruppen sind jedoch nur in kleinen Fallzahlen in der Studie abgebildet. Das kann den Eindruck erwecken, sie wurden für unwichtig gehalten werden. In der Praxis der Erwachsenenbildung sind jedoch Überlappungen, zum Beispiel zum Bereich Behinderung, an der Tagesordnung (Hirschberg und Lindmeier 2013). Das gilt auch spezifischer für die Alphabetisierung und Grundbildung (Ditschek 2013; Rosenbladt und Bilger ...

Development of CFD-Based Tip Clearance Loss and Deviation Models for Axial-Flow Turbines
(2020-01)
Accurate loss correlations are crucial for reliable turbine performance predictions with low-fidelity tools. However, conventional tip clearance models disregard some important loss effects, e. g. from the relative motion between blades and endwall, and their natural spanwise distributions, which are valuable for through-flow methods. The objective of this thesis is the development of more realistic tip clearance models by means of high-fidelity CFD simulations, which capture all three-dimensional flow effects and ...

Beyond - Another view on space and landscape
(2011-10-11)
Die Beiträge dieser Veröffentlichung sind aus Vorträgen anlässlich der Postdoc-Konferenz zu Ehren von Prof. Dr. Detlev Ipsen, der sich im September 2010 aus dem Universitätsdienst verabschiedete, entstanden. Das inhaltliche Kernprogramm der Postdoc-Konferenz war bewusst auf sehr unterschiedliche Perspektiven auf den Raum und die Raumwahrnehmung ausgerichtet und bildet sich auch in den Beiträgen dieser Veröffentlichung ab. Elisabeth Heidenreich widmet sich in ihrem Beitrag „Der moderne Dschihad und seine (sakralen) ...

The Containment of Labour Unrest in the Post Socialist China
(2011-07-25)
Due to its transition from the socialist mode of production to the capitalist mode, workers in China have been exposed to the exploitative class relations that they hardly experienced before. The working class is now assuming a subordinate position in the relations of production while the capitalist class remains in the dominant position. As a consequence, workers’ protests are constantly emerging and class conflicts are exacerbating in the contemporary China. I have set out to study in this paper how the party-state ...

Coupled atomistic-continuum simulation of the mechanical properties of single-layered graphene sheets
(2019-11-18)
The purpose of this work is the multiscale modeling of a single-layered graphene sheet. The model is divided into three parts. One is an atomistic domain which is simulated with the atomic-scale finite element method (AFEM). Another is a continuum domain. In this domain, the mechanical properties are investigated by using a finite element based on a nonlocal continuum shell model with a high order strain gradient. To be exact, it is a 4-node 60-generalized degree of freedom (DOF) Mindlin–Reissner finite shell element ...

Beyond the Prototypical Male Migrant
(2010-06-07)
The primary theoretical accounts of migration have been largely unaffected by the feminisation of migration. But this does not mean that they are gender neutral. Drawing on the concept of gender knowledge developed by German sociologists Irene Dölling and Sünne Andresen, on the feminist critique of knowledge, feminist economics and studies on gender and migration, the paper interrogates two influential models of migration from neoclassical economics for their gendered assumptions: the Roy-Borjas selection model of ...
