Der Kunde im Fokus
(2011)
Der Wandel der Kommunikationsgewohnheiten in Verbindung mit den modernen technischen Möglichkeiten sozialer Medien erschwert die Umsetzung integrierter Kommunikationskonzepte erheblich. Zum einen zeigen die einschlägigen Statistiken, etwa die Media-Analyse, dass die Reichweitenerosionen vieler etablierter Push-Medien, insbesondere TV, Zeitungen und Zeitschriften, noch nicht abgeschlossen sind. Zum anderen gewinnen die Pull-Medien an Relevanz, die sich sowohl in steigender Nutzungsdauer durch die Rezipienten in ihrem ...

„Die Erlösung hat nicht stattgefunden…“
(2011)
Die gerne als „Postmoderne“ bezeichnete Gegenwart ist geprägt durch das „Ende der großen Erzählungen“. Eine tiefe Skepsis hat sich breit gemacht gegenüber den traditionellen Versuchen, die Weltgeschichte als ein Gesamtgeschehen zu deuten und mit Sinn auszustatten. Dies betrifft nicht zuletzt die große christliche Erzählung der Erlösung, deren zentrale Stationen das Glaubensbekenntnis festhält: die Schöpfung der Welt durch Gott, ihr Fall in die Sunde und die Erlösung durch Jesus Christus, die die Hoffnung auf Rettung ...

Development of organic products in Kyrgyzstan
(Section Specialized Partnerships in Sustainable Food Systems and Food Sovereignty at the University of Kassel, Germany and Federation of German Scientists (VDW), 2019-06-05)
Kyrgyzstan is a mountainous and landlocked Central Asian country, one of five former Soviet Republics in the region. Agriculture is the main economic sector employing around 20% of population and contributing roughly 20% to the country’s GDP. Due to its climatic conditions, the Central Asian region was considered as a space for growing cotton, wheat, fruits and vegetables and tobacco and other cultures during Soviet times. Owing to its nomadic culture, Kyrgyzstan has been active predominantly in the animal husbandry sector.

General Belief in a Just World Is Positively Associated with Dishonest Behavior
(2017-10-10)
According to the just-world theory, people need to – or rather want to – believe that they live in a just world where they will receive what they earn and consequently earn what they receive. In the present work, we examined the influence of people’s general and personal beliefs in a just world (BJW) on their (dis)honest behavior. Given that general BJW was found to be linked to antisocial tendencies, we expected stronger general BJW to be linked to more dishonesty. Given that personal BJW was found to be correlated ...

Morphology, biochemistry, and management of Russian olive (Elaeagnus angustifolia L.) accessions in Gilgit-Baltistan, northern Pakistan
(2020-07-30)
Russian olive (Elaeagnus angustifolia L., Elagnaceae) is a native multi-purpose medicinal shrub or tree of Asian regions and an integral component of high altitude terraced agroforestry systems of Gilgit-Baltistan, northern Pakistan. The strong increase in deforestation, urbanisation, and the loss of ethnically-based medication practices in local communities are gradually leading to depletion of its stands and knowledge of its use. In view of these circumstances, this study was undertaken to characterise Russian olive ...

Effects of agroecological practices on soil organic carbon sequestration using synchronic and diachronic approaches in Madagascar
(2020-06-16)
Soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration in agricultural systems is a key indicator of soil fertility improvement and climate change mitigation at the global scale. In Madagascar, the effect on SOC sequestration of converting from traditional practices to agroecological ones remains unclear. The objectives of this study were (i) to assess the impact of agroecological practices, such as agroforestry (AF), tree plantation (TP) and improved farming practices (IFPs), on SOC sequestration at the field level; and (ii) to ...

Role of Pseudouridine Formation by Deg1 for Functionality of Two Glutamine Isoacceptor tRNAs
(2017-01-26)
Loss of Deg1/Pus3 and concomitant elimination of pseudouridine in tRNA at positions 38 and 39 (ψ38/39) was shown to specifically impair the function of tRNAGlnUUG under conditions of temperature-induced down-regulation of wobble uridine thiolation in budding yeast and is linked to intellectual disability in humans. To further characterize the differential importance of the frequent ψ38/39 modification for tRNAs in yeast, we analyzed the in vivo function of non-sense suppressor tRNAs SUP4 and sup70-65 in the absence ...

Untergangsphantasien/-diskurse: Goll, Céline, Gracq, Houellebecq
(2016)
Aktuelle Themen wie das des lateinischen Reichs laden dazu ein, sie nach Maßgabe sachlicher, historisch-politischer Voraussetzungen zu diskutieren. Der vorliegende Beitrag versucht unter dem Stichwort Untergangsphantasien nichtsdestoweniger einen Schritt zurückzutreten und das diskursive, narrative Feld zu klären, in dem solche Diskussionen beheimatet sind.

Reading a short story changes children’s sustainable behavior in a resource dilemma
(2019-12-02)
Fostering sustainable behavior in children and adolescents should be a central aim of today’s education. Even though the interplay of factors affecting sustainable behavior is complex, simple interventions can be effective too. In the current study, 10-year-olds (N = 132) were read a short story about two foresters who collectively used a forest to gain timber, facing a resource dilemma that involved striving for maximizing their individual profit while sustaining the forest. In the story, the foresters solved the ...

Is your Perception of "Luxury" Similar to Mine? A Concept Made of Absolute and Relative Features
(2015)
Luxury is a relative feature of goods and services. Despite the many empirical studies that have been conducted, marketing scholars have not agreed on a common definition or interpretation of the term "luxury" so far. This deficit causes improper interpretations and, thus, evokes a kind of growing conceptual confusion. Additionally, the increasing interest in luxury in recent years had contributed unintentionally to the ambiguity of the term. Advertising agencies consciously or unconsciously aim to take advantage of ...
