Gottesliebe – Menschenliebe
(2015)
Kann menschliche Liebe in ihrer kulturellen Bedingtheit und dem Wandel unterworfen sowie in ihrer so häufig erfahrenen Brüchigkeit als Metapher für die Liebe Gottes zur Welt und zum Menschen dienen? Was könnte das konstante Element in der Liebe sein, das auch in theologischer Rede sinnvoll zeitlos gültig und dennoch menschlichen Erfahrungen angemessen von der Liebe Gottes künden kann? Diesen drängenden Fragen geht die Autorin nach und findet in der Philosophie von J. Kristeva eine Spur, die zur Theologie des Augustinus ...

Nachbarschaftliche Hilfen
(2015)
57 der 106 im Zeitraum von 2000 bis 2011 in der Rechtsform der Genossenschaft realisierten gemeinschaftlichen Wohnprojekte verfolgen einen Mehrgenerationenansatz (vgl. BBSR 2012). „Diese Rechtsform stellt für gemeinschaftliche Ansätze den stimmigen Rahmen dar, weil sie auf Gemeinschaftseigentum und den genossenschaftlichen Prinzipien Selbsthilfe, Selbstbestimmung und Selbstverwaltung beruht“ (BBSR 2014: 36). Mit dem zunehmenden Engagement von (Bestands-)Genossenschaften in einem zuvor von Eigentumsprojekten dominierten ...

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 ...

Crack path predictions and experiments in plane structures considering anisotropic properties and material interfaces
(2015-09-28)
In many engineering applications special requirements are directed to a material's fracture behavior and the prediction of crack paths. Especially if the material exhibits anisotropic elastic properties or fracture toughnesses, e.g. in textured or composite materials, the simulation of crack paths is challenging. Here, the
application of path independent interaction integrals (I-integrals), J-, L- and M-integrals is beneficial for an accurate crack tip loading analysis.
Numerical tools for the calculation of loading ...

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 ...

The relationships of character strengths with coping, work-related stress, and job satisfaction
(2015)
Personality traits have often been highlighted to relate to how people cope with stressful events. The present paper focuses on character strengths as positive personality traits and examines two basic assumptions that were derived from a core characteristic of character strengths (i.e., to determine how individuals deal with adversities): (1) character strengths correlate with coping and (2) buffer the effects of work-related stress on job satisfaction. Two different samples (i.e., a mixed sample representing various ...

Dezentrale Ventilatoren in zentralen raumlufttechnischen Anlagen - Berechnungen zur energetischen Vorteilhaftigkeit
(2015)
Mechanische Lüftungsanlagen sind ein zentrales Elementenergieeffizienter, nachhaltiger Gebäude. Die Luftförderung erfolgt bei zentralen Lüftungsanlagen üblicherweise über einen Zuluft- und einen Abluftventilator in der Lüftungszentrale. Jeder Zentralventilator erzeugt eine Druckdifferenz, die sich an dem Widerstand des ungünstigsten Stranges orientiert. Zum Aufteilen des Gesamtvolumenstroms auf die einzelnen Gebäudebereiche wird die Druckdifferenz in den anderen Strängen gezielt abgedrosselt. Die Abdrosselung stellt ...

Exploiting non-Markovianity for quantum control
(Nature Publishing Group, 2015)
Quantum technology, exploiting entanglement and the wave nature of matter, relies on the ability to accurately control quantum systems. Quantum control is often compromised by the interaction of the system with its environment since this causes loss of amplitude and phase. However, when the dynamics of the open quantum system is non-Markovian, amplitude and phase flow not only from the system into the environment but also back. Interaction with the environment is then not necessarily detrimental. We show that the ...

Increasing scepticism toward potential liars: effects of existential threat on veracity judgments and the moderating role of honesty norm activation
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2015)
With the present research, we investigated effects of existential threat on veracity judgments. According to several meta-analyses, people judge potentially deceptive messages of other people as true rather than as false (so-called truth bias). This judgmental bias has been shown to depend on how people weigh the error of judging a true message as a lie (error 1) and the error of judging a lie as a true message (error 2). The weight of these errors has been further shown to be affected by situational variables. Given ...

Why different trust relationships matter for information systems users
(2015-12-08)
Technology acceptance research has shown that trust is an important factor fostering use of information systems (IS). As a result, numerous IS researchers have studied factors that build trust in IS. However, IS research on trust has mainly focused on the trust relationship between the user and the IS itself, largely neglecting that other targets of trust might also drive IS use from a user’s point of view. Accordingly, we investigate the importance of different targets of trust in IS use. Therefore, we use the concept ...
