Financial Access and Food Productivity Nexus: Evidence from Pakistan
(Section Specialized Partnerships in Sustainable Food Systems and Food Sovereignty at the University of Kassel, Germany and Federation of German Scientists (VDW), 2018-12-26)
Food possesses a great importance in the lives of human beings as it provides energy and strength to the human body to think, grow and develop. The global population is increasing day by day, becoming even more difficult to manage food for every human being on earth. It is the responsibility of every state to provide food for its citizens. “Zero Hunger” is one of the major goals of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs’) which aims to eradicate hunger from world. Several causes of food insecurity are identified by ...

The ‘forma specialis’ issue in Fusarium: A case study in Fusarium solani f. sp. pisi
(2018-01-19)
The Fusarium solani species complex (FSSC) has been studied intensively but its association with legumes, particularly under European agro-climatic conditions, is still poorly understood. In the present study, we investigated phylogenetic relationships and aggressiveness of 79 isolates of the FSSC collected from pea, subterranean clover, white clover and winter vetch grown under diverse agro-climatic and soil conditions within Temperate and Mediterranean Europe. The isolates were characterized by sequencing tef1 and ...

Africa’s future: Demarginalizing urban agriculture in the era of climate change
(Section Specialized Partnerships in Sustainable Food Systems and Food Sovereignty at the University of Kassel, Germany and Federation of German Scientists (VDW), 2018-06-05)
Africans are migrating to cities. With the continent’s cities projected to double in population by 2050, the issue of food insecurity in urban areas is increasingly becoming a major concern. To sustain this urban explosion, the question of how to maintain constant food supply to urban residents remains an urgent priority since these locations do not always get access to adequate food. There has, however, been little work on examining urban agriculture (UA) as an alternative means of reducing hunger in Africa, especially ...

Process is King: Evaluating the Performance of Technology-mediated Learning in Vocational Software Training
(2018-09-01)
Technology-mediated learning (TML) is a major trend in education, since it allows to integrate the strengths of traditional- and IT-based learning activities. However, TML providers still struggle in identifying areas for improvement in their TML offerings. One reason for their struggles is inconsistencies in the literature regarding drivers of TML performance. Prior research suggests that these inconsistencies in TML literature might stem from neglecting the importance of considering the process perspective in ...

Immer noch und immer wieder – Streit um den Status von DRK-Krankenschwestern – Überlegungen nach der Lektüre einer Entscheidungsanmerkung Bernd von Maydells
(2018)
Viele tausend Schwestern des Deutschen Roten Kreuzes arbeiten noch heute in deutschen Krankenhäusern und in der Krankenpflege. Sie tun dies meist auf der Grundlage sogenannter Gestellungsverträge zwischen ihrer jeweiligen Schwesternschaft und dem Krankenhausträger. Der arbeitsrechtliche Status der DRK-Schwestern ist seit Jahrzehnten hochumstritten. Ein Aspekt dieser komplexen Problematik betrifft die Frage, ob solche Schwestern, die aufgrund von Gestellungsverträgen dauerhaft in Krankenhäusern arbeiten, in Bezug auf ...

Dietary habits and nutritional status among school children in rural and urban areas: A comparative study from Bogor, Indonesia
(Section Specialized Partnerships in Sustainable Food Systems and Food Sovereignty at the University of Kassel, Germany and Federation of German Scientists (VDW), 2018-12-26)
When Indonesia was combating child undernutrition, overnutrition emerged which made the situation more complex. In fact, dwelling area like rural versus urban is one of the direct determi- nants which play a big role in shaping dietary habits and nutritional status in population. However, there is a lack of data that shows dieteray habits between urban and rural areas in Indonesia. This study aims to compare the dietary habits and nutritional status between children living in urban and rural areas in Bogor. This study ...

Increasing energy efficiency of milk product batch sterilisation
(2018-09-07)
The food industry is a large energy consumer and most heat demands in food processing are low-temperature. The aim of this study is to develop and simulate innovative retrofits or redesigns that unlock the heat recovery potential of industrial batch sterilisation processes. The case study focuses on the whey cream process, although the method and results apply to similar batch sterilisation processes. The initial situation is compared to energy efficient designs based on “Energy Storage” and “Rescheduling”. Using a ...

Sektorkopplung Prozesswärme / Strom in der deutschen Industrie
(2018)
Sektorkopplung bedeutet die Verbindung des Elektrizitäts- mit dem Wärme- und Mobilitätssektor. Während der Ausbau der erneuerbaren Energien (EE) im Strombereich erhebliche Fortschritte, bis zu einem Anteil von über 30 %, erzielt hat, ist im Wärme- (ca. 13 %) und Mobilitätssektor (ca. 5,1 %) der Anteil in den letzten zehn Jahren fast konstant geblieben. Die Elektrifizierung dieser Anwendungsbereiche soll den Anteil an erneuerbarer Energie erhöhen und somit zu einer Reduzierung von Treibhausgasen beitragen. Abbildung ...

‚Ausstellungsmaschinen‘
(2018)
Nach dem Ende des Zweiten Weltkrieges war die europäische Museumslandschaft ein Trümmerhaufen. Die Museumsgebäude, die seit Kriegsbeginn geschlossen gewesen waren, waren schwer beschädigt und bestenfalls teilweise nutzbar, wenn sie nicht zum Opfer einer vollständigen Zerstörung geworden waren. Die kriegsbedingt ausgelagerten Sammlungen mussten zunächst zusammengetragen und in die allmählich wiederhergestellten Gebäude zurückgeführt werden. Obwohl es aufgrund des Kriegsverlaufes erhebliche nationale und regionale ...
