Automatic Time Series Segmentation as the Basis for Unsupervised, Non-Intrusive Load Monitoring of Machine Tools
(2019)
Detailed energy monitoring and benchmarking at the individual component level is necessary to increase energy efficiency in complex production systems. Non-intrusive load monitoring (NILM) provides an economical solution for operational state detection and load disaggregation without the need for large-scale use of fine-grained energy meters. Existing supervised NILM approaches require detailed training data including control information about individual devices. Unsupervised approaches, on the other hand, often ...

"Diese körperlichen Geschichten sind gar nicht das Problem" - Zum Professionalisierungsbedarf in der Inklusiven Erwachsenenbildung
(2019)
In diesem Beitrag wird das Forschungsprojekt INAZ, „Inklusive Bildung in der Alphabetisierungspraxis und im System des zweiten Bildungswegs – Qualifikationen, Kompetenzen und Bedarfe des pädagogischen Personals“, dargestellt. Im ersten Teil erläutern wir den Hintergrund und die Konzeption des Projektes. Im zweiten Teil des Beitrags zeigen wir anhand erster (qualitativer) Ergebnisse, welche Fortbildungsbedarfe vorhanden sind. Warum das Projekt relevant ist, führen wir anhand des Fortbildungsmoduls im dritten Teil aus.

Determinants of participation in rural non-farm economy in Zvimba District, Zimbabwe
(2019-11-06)
The capacity of agriculture to provide sustainable livelihood opportunities is exceeded by the rural populations of developing countries, and with limited opportunities available in urban centres, the rural non-farm economy (RNFE) becomes pivotal in improving rural livelihoods. Within an empowerment agenda, it is important for policy makers to understand why households enter into the RNFE. We investigated participation in the RNFE of farm worker livelihoods along with the motivation for participation in RNF employment. ...

A value chain analysis of baobab (Adansonia digitata L.) products in Eastern and Coastal Kenya
(2019-11-14)
A growing demand for the highly nutritious baobab fruit pulp from Europe and North America raises the question whether the marketing of baobab (Adansonia digitata L.) products could be an opportunity as an income source for rural communities in Kenya, or if the increased demand from overseas would disturb domestic baobab use. To gain an idea of domestic baobab use, a value chain analysis of edible baobab products was performed, using qualitative methods. By using a non-probability sampling, 134 baobab value chain ...

A sequence analysis of organic and conventional food consumers’ visual information acquisition
(Section Specialized Partnerships in Sustainable Food Systems and Food Sovereignty at the University of Kassel, Germany and Federation of German Scientists (VDW), 2019-07-26)
It is of significant importance in food marketing to know which pieces of information available during shopping are most relevant to consumers. The visual search behaviour of consumers allows inference on the relevance of information based on what information is acquired and when. It is assumed that price is a major barrier to the purchase of organic food. However, little is known about consumers’ actual acquisition of information on organic food prices. To examine the information acquisition behaviour of consumers ...

Quality of black bean seeds harvested with different moisture contents and submitted to two different storage systems
(2019-12-05)
Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is one of the main foods of the Brazilian diet. However, to achieve high yields, one of the determining factors is seed quality, which can be influenced by harvesting time and storage. The objective of this work was to evaluate the physical quality and physiological performance of black bean seeds as function of the moisture content at harvest and storage method. For that, black bean seeds, cultivar BRS Campeiro, were used. The harvest was performed when the seeds reached moisture contents ...

Natural and land-use drivers of primary production in a highly vulnerable region of livestock production (Sierras del Este – Uruguay)
(2019-02-21)
Sierras del Este is one of the two regions in Uruguay that are most vulnerable to climate change. A relevant vulnerability factor is the variability of the natural grasslands’ productivity. The objective of this study was to analyse the role of natural and land use drivers on grassland productivity as an essential factor for increasing the adaptive capacity of livestock production and reducing their vulnerability to extreme climatic events. The period 2000–2015 was analysed using the aboveground net primary production ...

Physical and chemical optimisation of the seedball technology addressing pearl millet under Sahelian conditions
(Kassel University Press, 2019-01-16)
This study deals with the development of the seedball technology in particular for dry sowing under Sahelian conditions and pearl millet as crop. At first, our participatory evaluation in Senegal showed that (i) local materials needed for seedball production are locally available, (ii) the technology conforms to the existing management systems in the Sahel, and (iii) socio-economic conditions do not hinder seedball adoption. Afterwards, seedball was mechanically and chemically optimised. Pearl millet seedlings derived ...
