Leading and Following Day by Day
(2018)
This dissertation deals with daily leader-follower interactions, alignment of words and actions, well-being and effectiveness. The first part of the dissertation shows the impact of leader behavior on follower well-being in the context of transformational leadership. The second part goes beyond single leader behaviors and investigates the value-based alignment of two behaviors, namely vision communication and goal setting, and their effects on trust and leaders‘ effectiveness. Turning the lens, the final part sheds ...

Simulation-based optimization of solar thermal systems
(2018)
In this PhD thesis application of numerical methods to simulation-based optimization of solar thermal systems both in the planning process and in operation is investigated. The optimization process starting from definition of a target function and specification of optimization parameters, moving forward with application of an optimization algorithm and ending up by sensitivity analysis at the found optimum, is described in detail. A hybrid genetic CHC – binary search algorithm is proposed and applied. As a combination ...

Evaluation of Statistical-Downscaling/Bias-Correction Methods to Predict Hydrologic Responses to Climate Change in the Zarrine River Basin, Iran
(2018-04-20)
Modeling the hydrologic responses to future changes of climate is important for improving adaptive water management. In the present application to the Zarrine River Basin (ZRB), with the major reach being the main inflow source of Lake Urmia (LU), firstly future daily temperatures and precipitation are predicted using two statistical downscaling methods: the classical statistical downscaling model (SDSM), augmented by a trend-preserving bias correction, and a two-step updated quantile mapping (QM) method. The general ...

Consumer Preferences for Local Food: Testing an Extended Norm Taxonomy
(2018-04-24)
Consumer attitudes toward consuming and buying locally produced food are well studied. By contrast, the topic of consumer preferences for local food, with a special emphasis on the role of norms, still lacks empirical evidence. To study the influence of norms and morals on the intention to buy local food products, a quantitative study (N = 327) focusing on external social and internalized moral norms was conducted using the constructs of the theory of planned behavior in combination with an extended norm taxonomy and ...

The Navier-Stokes equations with time discretisation and Lagrangian approximation
(2018)
In the present thesis, we combine the Navier-Stokes equations - which correspond to the so-called Eulerian representation of fluid flow - with the Lagrangian description of fluid flow.

Entwicklung, Erprobung und Evaluation einer interprofessionellen Übungseinheit im reziproken cross-level Peer-Tutoring
(2018-02-08)
Um angehende Fachkräfte in den Gesundheitsberufen durch interprofessionelles Lernen (IPL) besser auf die berufsgruppenübergreifende Zusammenarbeit in der Patientenversorgung vorzubereiten, wurde eine interprofessionelle Übungseinheit für Medizinstudierende und Schülerinnen und Schüler der Physiotherapieausbildung entwickelt. Ziel der Arbeit war, in aufeinander aufbauenden Untersuchungen die theoriegeleitete Konzeption und Optimierung der Übungseinheit zu evaluieren, die Wirksamkeit der Lehrveranstaltung zu überprüfen ...

Wirkungen tiergestützter Interventionen auf Menschen mit Demenz in ambulant betreuten Wohngemeinschaften
(2018-03-13)
Die vorliegende Dissertation untersucht die Auswirkungen von regelmäßig stattfindenden tiergestützten Interventionen auf Menschen mit Demenz, die in ambulant betreuten Wohngemeinschaften leben. Zudem werden die Auswirkungen der tiergestützten Interventionen auf die Mitarbeiter/innen und die Organisationsstruktur der Wohngemeinschaften untersucht.
In der Bundesrepublik Deutschland sind aktuell etwa 1,6 Millionen Menschen an einer Demenz erkrankt. Schätzungen gehen von bis zu 3 Millionen Erkrankungen im Jahr 2050 ...

Teaching quality in higher education: Do student evaluation of teaching questionnaires allow a reliable and valid assessment of teaching quality?
(2018-06-18)
Improving teaching quality is a relevant topic in society to nurture the students’ innate potential in the best possible way. One often applied tool for assessing teaching quality in higher education is student evaluations of teaching (SETs) that are used as a criterion for making important decisions in higher education such as employing teachers, distributing funds, and making changes in the curriculum. Despite their effect on decisions it is relatively unclear if SETs are a valid and reliable assessment of teaching ...
