Die Wirkung von Sustainability Management Control Systems auf Risiko und Resilienz von Unternehmen
(2024)
Die Dissertation mit dem Titel „Die Wirkung von Sustainability Management Control Systems auf Risiko und Resilienz von Unternehmen“ befasst sich mit der Forschungsfrage, ob Unternehmen durch den Einsatz von Sustainability Management Control Systems (SMCS) das Risiko ihres Unternehmens senken und mittels SMCS eine ambidextre Unternehmensstrategie in Resilienzfähigkeiten überleiten können. Die Dissertation folgt einem positivistischen Forschungsansatz und wertet mittels Fragebögen gewonnene Daten anhand der quantitativ ...

Value relevance of ESG reporting
(2024)
In this doctoral thesis I analyzed the value relevance of ESG reporting in a broad Europe-focused context. In doing so, this thesis takes a holistic view by examining the value relevance of ESG reports. On the one hand, it focuses on certain characteristics such as the type of report or institutional environment. On the other hand, it seeks to obtain a deeper insight into what influences the perception of ESG reporting in general, analyzing ESG-related factors such as ESG controversies.

Bewertung von Eigenspannungen nach dem Laserstrahlhärten von komplex geformten Komponenten und additiv gefertigten Bauteilen
(2021)
Die Laserstrahlbearbeitung hat sich im Laufe der letzten Jahre zu einem wichtigen Forschungsschwerpunkt in industrieller und akademischer Hinsicht entwickelt. Neben der Erschließung neuer Anwendungsgebiete durch den Vorteil einer hohen Bearbeitungsflexibilität überzeugt die laserbasierte Materialbearbeitung vor allem durch einen lokal beeinflussbaren Energieeintrag. Jedoch sind derzeit mit zunehmender geometrischer Komplexität und Bauteilgröße nur begrenzte Tiefenwirkungen der gewünschten Druckeigenspannungen ...

Algorithms for Emotion Recognition
(2023)
Technological advancements have increasingly facilitated emotion recognition through physiological sensors integrated into intelligent devices, such as earables and wristbands. People commonly wear these devices in their everyday lives (i.e., in the wild). Patterns can be extracted from various physiological signals, enabling the recognition of emotions. This capability can be integrated into diverse applications, such as attention management systems, human-robot interaction, and stress detection, enhancing them to ...

Electron Dynamics and Correlations in the High-order Harmonic Generation, Photoelectron Circular Dichroism, and Spin Polarization Phenomena
(2024)
Die Wechselwirkung von ionisierender Laserstrahlung mit Atomen und Molekülen kann zu faszinierenden Phänomenen führen. Darunter haben die Erzeugung hoher Harmonischer (HHG), der Photoelektronen Zirkulardichroismus (PECD), und die Spin Polarisation (SP) großes Interesse seit den 1970er Jahren auf sich gezogen. Der HHG-Prozess kann beobachtet werden, wenn hochintesive und langwellige Laserpulse mit Materie in Wechselwirkung treten. Die Spektren werden normalerweise in einer Einzelelektronnäherung beschrieben, welche ...

Effects of biochar application on anaerobic digestion processes
(2024)
The use of biochar as an additive in anaerobic digestion (AD) is a potential pathway to enhance AD while promoting biomass-to-biochar value chain within a circular bioeconomy. Biochar, a novel biomaterial, serves for managing residual biomass following the cascading use principle, prioritizing material use over sole energy generation. AD, as a well-established method for biogas production and organic substance management, plays an important role in the global carbon cycle. Therefore, this thesis investigated the ...

Community-Based Associations and Rural Development in Rwanda: A Local Perspective on the Contribution of Social Capital to Human Capabilities
(2022)
The post-World War II political discourse around development has stimulated academic debates in recent decades. While some of these debates simply aim to transform the development mainstream, many others among the post-colonial thinkers are more critical of and even reject mainstream development ideologies. Despite the valuable academic debates, most development practitioners seem to have remained unresponsive to some of the allegations. Their concept is incorporated in much of the contemporary political narratives ...

Transforming towards a sustainable circular economy: exploring the social dimension, actor contribution and emerging paradoxes
(2023)
Pressing global societal challenges highlight organisational vulnerability and the need to transform towards more sustainable production and consumption measures. The circular economy concept is considered an alternative to the prevalent linear economic system. It aims to contribute to sustainable development by slowing and closing resource cycles and facilitating cross-sectoral collaboration of multiple stakeholders. Yet, the desired transformation is lagging behind and the current debate focuses primarily on the ...

Generalized Involutive Bases and Their Induced Free Resolutions
(2022-05)
In this thesis, we generalize several types of involutive and marked bases for ideals in quotient rings of commutative polynomial rings. We apply these new types of bases to the analysis of infinite free resolutions and of Hilbert schemes defined over certain types of quotient rings. We are mostly concerned with Pommaret and Janet bases; the marked bases we consider are marked over monomial submodules that are quasi-stable, i.e., that possess finite Pommaret bases.
Involutive bases of the types we consider induce ...

Plastic packaging waste management in Germany: Evaluating and optimizing material flows and environmental impacts
(2023)
Since 1990, the annual plastic packaging consumption by private end users in Germany more than doubled. This trend can be attributed to plastic's advantageous properties such as its low weight, cost-effectiveness, and customizable features. However, plastic packaging is also widely criticized due to its dependency on fossil fuels, short lifespan, and potential contribution to marine littering. The tension between the popularity of plastic packaging and the environ-mental challenges associated with a short-term product ...
