Living and Planning on the Edge: Unravelling Conflict and Claim-Making in Peri-Urban Lahore, Pakistan
(2021-05-25)
In Lahore, Pakistan’s second largest city, high population growth rates, decades of rural-urban migration, and rampant land and real-estate speculation have contributed to the rapid urbanization of peri-urban land and the engulfing of pre-existing rural settlements. Lahore’s spatial transformation goes hand in hand with an increasingly complex urban governance framework. Historically shaped by colonial planning institutions and decades of political instability as power alternated between military and civilian regimes, ...

Tillage system and integrated soil fertility inputs improve smallholder farmers’ soil fertility and maize productivity in the Central Highlands of Kenya
(2021-09-20)
We designed and implemented an on-farm trial in Meru South and Gatanga sub-counties to understand the effects of integrated soil fertility management (ISFM) technologies on soil nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), and maize productivity. The technologies included combinations of mineral fertiliser and maize stover (CrMf); crop residue, Tithonia diversifolia and rock phosphate (CrTiP); crop residue, Tithonia diversifolia and goat manure (CrTi-Man); crop residue, inorganic fertiliser and goat manure (CrMfMan); ...

Dualer Ausbildungsmarkt in der Corona-Pandemie und benachteiligte Gruppen
(2021-05)
Bevor wir uns im zweiten Abschnitt den Folgen der Corona-Pandemie widmen, möchten wir zunächst herausarbeiten, wie sich der duale Ausbildungsmarkt generell in den vergangenen Jahren entwickelt hat. Für das Zustandekommen von neu abgeschlossenen Ausbildungsverträgen spielt neben der wirtschaftlichen Gesamtentwicklung das Interesse junger Menschen an einem Ausbildungsplatz sowie die Ausbildungsbereitschaft von Betrieben eine zentrale Rolle.

Fluoreszenzmikroskopische in-situ-Untersuchungen zu Wechselwirkungen von Fließmitteln und Partikeln in zementären Systemen
(2021)
Effektive rheologiemodifizierende Zusatzmittel sind aus der modernen Betontechnologie nicht mehr wegzudenken. Sei es der wirtschaftlichere, weil schnellere Einbau von fließfähigem Normalbeton oder die Herstellung von hoch- und ultrahochfesten Betonen; die so genannten Fließmittel spielen eine zentrale Rolle beim Einsatz und bei der Entwicklung zeitgemäßer, zementgebundener Baustoffe. Zur detaillierten Untersuchung der Wirkungsmechanismen wurde in dieser Arbeit eine Methode entwickelt, die die Beobachtung der ...

Safety Approach of Detecting Abnormal Events (Spinning and Sliding) in Vehicular Systems
(2021)
The primary theme in the vehicles industry is the increase in automating and integrating more robust intelligent electronic systems to enhance the safe functioning, flexibility, and to extend the virtual productive age of the vehicular systems. Further, significant efforts focus on developing monitoring systems for the abnormal driving conditions such as wheel spinning and sliding that can increase the hazardous in the operating environment and speed up the wearing off process. Thus, these events play a primary role ...

Hot Work Tool Steel Processed by Laser Powder Bed Fusion: A Review on Most Relevant Influencing Factors
(2021-03-26)
As a representative of a common carbon-bearing hot work tool steel AISI H13 is in focus of the present review paper. Most relevant details for processing of AISI H13 by laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) are systematically investigated. Three common stages of process parameter development and material assessment, respectively, are in focus: general processibility, process refinement, and deduction of process–microstructure–property relations, i.e., understanding of the interplay of relevant elementary mechanisms. On the ...

Financial Inclusion in the Global South: An Analysis of Index-Based Agricultural Insurance and Farmer Food Security in India
(2021-09-29)
Index-based agricultural insurance (IBAI) is presented by several development organizations as a highly effective way of mitigating climate change related risks and improving farmer food security. However, critics doubt the effectiveness of the instrument and regard it as a new frontier for capital accumulation. Linking to this debate, this research uses a qualitative design to investigate how IBAI affects the food production and consumption of farmers in the Indian state of Karnataka. It finds that the proposed ...
