Open field screening of the productive parameters, protein content, phenolic compounds, and antioxidant capacity of maize (Zea mays L.) in the marginal uplands of southern Madagascar
(2019-10-14)
Madagascar is recognised as having both a high level of poverty and a food shortage. The contribution of the agricultural sector to the national income is higher than for any other sector, though this sector remains insufficiently developed to sustain national food demand. In order to increase food production, the diversification of staple food in conjunction with the detection of best-yield genotypes may be considered the simplest and least expensive alternative approach. For this reason, the response of productive ...

Familienpolitik - Die Entstehung der Dynastie
(2017)
Wer die Samuelbücher liest, wird vielleicht verwundert sein, wie groß der Stellenwert jener Geschichten rund um Heirat, Geburt, aber auch Ehebruch und sexualisierte Gewalt ist. Nur ein zweiter Textbereich der Hebräischen Bibel, die Erzelternerzählungen der Genesis (12-50), enthalten ähnlich viele Familienerzählungen. Während man jahrzehntelang in der historisch-kritischen Forschung etwas hilflos vor diesen Familienthemen stand und sie oft als Ablenkung von der eigentlich wichtigen Erzählung der großen Geschichte ...

Engaging stakeholders in traditional food products through dissemination of knowledge and innovation based in digital platforms
(2020-11-29)
The agrofood sector has a great sectorial and business dispersion, constituting, in parallel, a relevant space of the European and national economy. In addition to the economic and social impact, the growth of the sector is also an opportunity for the development of rural areas and agriculture, particularly in view of Europe's shortages in food raw materials. The need for continuous improvement, and market developments of this sector, require that innovation processes occur. This process has been facilitated by the ...

Discours, textes, traditions
(2016)
Ce qui sert de base et de cadre au présent volume, résultat d’une sectiondes journées des romanistes de langue allemande (Romanistentag) à Berlin, a fait l’objet de recherches intenses et de bien des controverses ces dernières années ; il s’agit de la fonction des traditions discursives, qui, en tant que savoir culturel et linguistique, nous apprennent à concevoir des textes et qui sont le pivot d’une analyse textuelle linguistique orientée vers la culture.

Visuelle und verbale Konzeptualisierungen von Trauer in einer Umbruchsituation: Allan Ramsay skizziert sein totes Kind
(2015)
The British painter Allan Ramsay’s physiognomic sketch of his first son, deceased at the age of 14 months in 1741, can provide some insight into the shift of emotional response towards death during the eighteenth century. Although never used for the execution of an autonomous painting according to available visual conventions, Ramsay directed the attention of his conversation partners to the image, apparently in an attempt to claim a stoic firmness of character for himself modelled on prototypes found in the tradition ...

Comparison of decent work status among smallholder pig farmers in Kenya; An empirical approach using Principal Components
(2019-11-07)
Agricultural production in Kenya is dominated by smallholder enterprises which provide up to 60% of the country's workforce. The agrarian transition to enhance smallholder participation in neoliberal capitalistic markets demands compliance to sanitary and phytosanitary standards and with codes for worker's welfare and thus the concept of decent work. Evaluation of decent work deficits in the informal economy however remains a challenge associated with sector uniqueness and differences in socio- cultural attributes ...

The eating culture of the Sundanese: Does the traditional salad (Lalapan) improve vegetable intake and blood β-carotene concentration?
(Section Specialized Partnerships in Sustainable Food Systems and Food Sovereignty at the University of Kassel, Germany and Federation of German Scientists (VDW), 2019-09-12)
This study explores how consumption of the traditional salad Lalapan, central to the eating culture of the Sundanese, is associated with skin quality perception, daily β-carotene intake and blood β-carotene concentrations. This cross-sectional study was conducted in Gunung Malang Village and Leuweung Kolot Village, Bogor District, West Java. 60 healthy Sundanese women, aged 30-49 years, were selected using simple random sampling. Their body weight and height were measured, and they were interviewed about the eating ...

Distribution of Alternaria leaf blight of sunflowers caused by Alternaria alternata in South Africa
(2019-11-07)
Alternaria leaf blight (ALB) has been shown in recent years to be one of the major potential disease threats of sunflower capable of causing yield losses in all major production areas. The aim of this study was to determine the causal agent, prevalence and geographical distribution of ALB in the major sunflower production areas of South Africa. Surveys were conducted during 2012/13, 2013/14 and 2014/15 growing seasons at commercial sunflower production fields and at commercial cultivar trials. In the three growing ...

Sprachwissenschaft als Kulturwissenschaft aus romanistischer Sicht: Das Beispiel der kontrastiven Pragmatik
(2014-03-01)
One of the central questions of pragmalinguistics is the distinction between linguistic structures and cultural norms that guide the usage of these structures in verbal interaction. is distinction is especially important for contrastive pragmatics, which analyses the interfaces of different languages and cultures. In order to draw a clear line between linguistic and cultural differences in patterns of interaction, contrastive pragmatics needs a methodological framework that is centred around a precise analytical ...

A simple retroelement based knock-down system in Dictyostelium
(PLoS, 2015)
Characteristics of DIRS-1 Mediated Knock-Downs __ We have previously shown that the most abundant Dictyostelium discoideum retroelement DIRS-1 is suppressed by RNAi mechanisms. Here we provide evidence that both inverted terminal repeats have strong promoter activity and that bidirectional expression apparently generates a substrate for Dicer. A cassette containing the inverted terminal repeats and a fragment of a gene of interest was sufficient to activate the RNAi response, resulting in the generation of ~21 nt ...
