Analysis of agricultural landscape transformation and cropping system diversification in southern Myanmar
(2023)
Myanmar's forests are rich in biodiversity and have significant potential for carbon reduction. Kyunsu Township in southern Myanmar is still covered by biodiverse tropical evergreen rainforests on the highlands and mangroves on the coastline, conserving carbon stocks. However, the expansion of croplands into these forests to meet the growing demand for food and crop income is a major driver of deforestation and loss of carbon sinks. Thus, balancing agricultural land use and natural resource conservation is vital for ...

Functional Analysis of Src42A in embryonic epithelial morphogenesis of Drosophila melanogaster
(2023)
Src42A is one of the Src family kinases (SFKs) present in Drosophila melanogaster. In mammals there are 8 SFKs and so far, a loss of function analysis of SFKs were difficult to conduct due to their functional redundancy. In Drosophila, there are only two SFKs namely Src42A and Src64B, the former is essential for embryonic development and the latter is a non-essential gene. Since Src42A is supplied as a maternal component, the zygotic mutant were showing defects in later developmental stages, because the contribution ...

Management factors influencing cow milk quality and safety in the Indian megacity of Bengaluru
(2023)
Ensuring animal welfare is a critical priority for livestock farmers in the face of urbanization. Rapid urban growth increases the demand for animal products but decreases availability of arable land around cities with negative implications for animal feed production. In urbanizing regions, livestock keepers resort to common pool resources for animal nutrition. Yet, the repercussions of urbanization on the quality of common pool feed resources, animal health, production and product safety, remain unstudied. Additionally, ...

Eine Philologie der Denkformen für Indien und Europa: Sanskrit-Sūtras und Semiotik in den Cultural Studies
(2023-12)
Die anglistisch-indologische Verortung von Sanskrit-Sūtras und Semiotik in den Cultural Studies beschreibt gleichsam metonymisch die Agenda einer Vorgehensweise im Verbund von Philologie und Philosophie, verschiedene Traditionen indischen Denkens für ein zeichenphilosophisches Programm der Kulturwissenschaften zu erschließen. Dabei dient die mikrologische Rekonstruktion von Denkformen im Sinne ihrer jeweiligen semiotischen Matrix und logischen Strukturen als methodischer Bezugspunkt für die Betrachtung exemplarischer ...

Optimierung des Risikomanagements als Beitrag zur Steigerung des Projekterfolgs bei Produktentwicklungsprojekten am Beispiel der Automobilindustrie
(2024)
Die zunehmende Projektifizierung der letzten Jahrzehnte hat dazu geführt, dass der Beitrag von Projekten zur Erreichung der Unternehmensziele und damit zur unternehmerischen Wert-schöpfung in gleichem Maße gestiegen ist. Gleichzeitig sind Projekte aufgrund ihres einzigar-tigen Charakters mit Risiken und Unsicherheiten behaftet, deren Auftreten im Kontext der Produktentwicklung in der Automobilindustrie durch den Produktivitätsdruck sowie die stetig steigende Komplexität und Dynamik noch verstärkt wird. Die negativen ...

Risk Communication during the COVID-19 Pandemic
(2024)
In this PhD project it was aimed to learn about the potential and the challenges of risk communication in systemic risks by conducting applied research during the COVID-19 pandemic. Risk communication plays a crucial role in mitigating these risks by addressing risk beliefs in the population and thereby stimulating behavior change. In the synapsis of this project, however, the prevalence of heterogenous prior risk beliefs in different groups of the population were identified as a major challenge for risk communication ...

Design and Implementation of Novel Optical Fabry-Pérot Arrays for Medical Applications
(2024)
Optical sensing systems find a wide range of applications, especially in the medical field, for intelligent, patient-operated health monitoring and early diagnosis, facilitating immediate responses to warnings. Advances in technology have enabled sensors miniaturization with spectrometers using low-cost Fabry-Pérot filters, allowing integration into mobile phones and wearable devices without compromising their resolution. The challenge in filter fabrication is deforming supporting posts deformation during polymer ...

Operationalized Psychodynamic Diagnosis - Using Network Analysis to Explore the Associations between Psychodynamic Constructs
(2024)
The Operationalized Psychodynamic Diagnosis (OPD) system has established itself in the psychodynamic field as a supplement to descriptive classification systems for mental disorders. The OPD includes key psychodynamic constructs, namely “interpersonal relations”, “psychodynamic conflicts” and “personality structure”. The examination of the interplay among psychodynamic constructs and their associations with psychopathology holds significant relevance for both clinical and scientific practice, as it advances our ...
