Die Fragilität des Körpers
(Institut für Freizeitwissenschaft und Kulturarbeit (IFKA) e.V. an der Hochschule Bremen, 2017)
Schwere Krankheiten, Beeinträchtigungen und Behinderungen werden im öffentlichen wie auch fachlichen Diskurs um Sterbehilfe immer wieder als Begründung benutzt, für die Ermöglichung des ärztlich assistierten Suizids zu plädieren – mit dem Argument, ein entsprechendes Leben sei letztlich „nicht menschenwürdig“. Doch Menschenwürde hat jeder Mensch, bzw. jedem Menschen wird Menschenwürde in den internationalen Menschenrechtsabkommen zugesprochen. Die Achtung der Menschenwürde hat den Stellenwert einer unhintergehbaren ...

Numerical crack path prediction under mixed-mode loading in 1D quasicrystals
(2017-03)
Quasicrystals are being implemented in industry since this new class of materials appears to have some peculiar properties. However, the fracture behavior of quasicrystals is not yet clear, which could be a hindrance to its wide usage. This work adopts the generalized linear elastic framework of fracture theory in quasicrystals and develops numerical tools in a finite element environment to compute the fracture quantities. Crack growth is simulated in diverse specimens undergoing an intrinsic mixed-mode loading and ...

Green Luxury: New Divide in Positioning Strategies Needed?
(National University of Political Studies and Public Administration (SNSPA), Faculty of ManagementTritonic, 2017)
A basic and commonly shared implicit definition of luxury is “something superfluous.” Consuming such products and services contradicts the modern paradigm of sustainable consumption. However, luxury vendors are frequently introducing new technologies and better working conditions on a large scale, including natural colors and fair treatment of labor in the fashion industry, as well as fully electric-fueled cars, which Tesla has been producing. Previous research suggests that luxury and sustainability are incompatible. ...

Zwischen Reichtum und Prekarität. Welchen Wohlfahrtsstaat benötigen Künstler_innen?
(2017-08)
Die Veranstaltung fand am 27. und 28. Juni 2017 in der Kunsthochschule Kassel sowie in der Evangelischen Studierendengemeinde in Kassel statt. Vor Ihnen liegt nun die Dokumentation dieser Tagung, die dazu beitragen soll, die wichtigsten Eckpunkte festzuhalten und die Diskussion um die Frage der sozialen Absicherung von Künstler_innen in eine hoffentlich breiter werdende Öffentlichkeit zu tragen. Die Dokumentation beruht auf Vortragsmanuskripten, berichthaften Protokollen, die die Mitarbeiter des Fachgebietes „Politisches ...

Outsmarting the MNCs by fitting strategic manoeuvres to national framing: evidence from India
(National University of Political Studies and Public Administration (SNSPA), Faculty of ManagementTritonic, 2017)
This paper focuses on how Indian home-grown companies captured MNCs market in India with the help of strategic maneuvering and understanding their own capabilities. Seizing the framework of Porter’s National Diamond this research follows a caselet approach for illustrating these strategies. The study’s originality springs from understanding changes in demand pattern brought by home-grown companies in the Indian market. A key implication of this paper is that the demand conditions and firm strategy (by means of targeting ...

Controlled magnetic devices in power electronic applications
(IEEE, 2017)
Almost all power electronic converters require magnetic devices and some properties of the converters can be controlled with magnetics. New magnetic materials enable implementation of magnetic control of converters also in high switching frequency applications. The presented paper gives an overview about controllability of magnetic devices in theory and practice, simulation approaches and examples. The focus is on electrically controllable magnetic devices. This means that an additional control winding is wound on ...

General Belief in a Just World Is Positively Associated with Dishonest Behavior
(2017-10-10)
According to the just-world theory, people need to – or rather want to – believe that they live in a just world where they will receive what they earn and consequently earn what they receive. In the present work, we examined the influence of people’s general and personal beliefs in a just world (BJW) on their (dis)honest behavior. Given that general BJW was found to be linked to antisocial tendencies, we expected stronger general BJW to be linked to more dishonesty. Given that personal BJW was found to be correlated ...

Role of Pseudouridine Formation by Deg1 for Functionality of Two Glutamine Isoacceptor tRNAs
(2017-01-26)
Loss of Deg1/Pus3 and concomitant elimination of pseudouridine in tRNA at positions 38 and 39 (ψ38/39) was shown to specifically impair the function of tRNAGlnUUG under conditions of temperature-induced down-regulation of wobble uridine thiolation in budding yeast and is linked to intellectual disability in humans. To further characterize the differential importance of the frequent ψ38/39 modification for tRNAs in yeast, we analyzed the in vivo function of non-sense suppressor tRNAs SUP4 and sup70-65 in the absence ...

„So ermahnte man ihn, in Zukunft besser beim Niesen aufzupassen, und schickte ihn nach Hause.“
(Königshausen & Neumann, 2017)
Wie auch in der Sams-Heptalogie widmet sich Maar in „Vorsicht, Niesgefahr!“ dem Spannungsgeflecht von Gesellschaft und Individuum, von Über-Ich und Es, von Reglementierung, Triebnatur und Individuationsprozessen.
In einer Kombination aus kulturwissenschaftlichem close reading und (psychologisch operierender) Figurenanalyse schneidet dieser Beitrag Aspekte im Bereich der Text-Bild-Relationen sowie der Komik, Fantastik und Intertextualität an, um diesem mehrfachadressierten Kleinstkunstwerk zur erstmaligen wissenschaftlichen ...
