Making transdisciplinarity happen: Phase 0, or before the beginning
(2022-06-21)
Both within science and society, transdisciplinary approaches are increasingly employed to address today’s sustainability challenges. Often transdisciplinary research processes are structured in three core phases: a) problem identification and formation of a common research object; b) co-production of solution-oriented and transferable knowledge; c) embedding co-produced knowledge through transdisciplinary reintegration. In all phases of this ideal-typical model, the involvement of non-academic actors is essential ...

Cost and return analysis of organic and conventional farming systems in the Ganga River Basin, India
(2024-02-26)
Conventional farming (CF) has significantly increased the aggregate supply of food grains and ensured food security for the growing population in India. However, it proved environmentally unsustainable due to its higher reliance on chemical inputs. Organic farming (OF) becomes an alternative approach that ensures the sustainability of the agricultural system. But, the transition from CF to OF can be a lengthy process, and farmers may experience income loss during its course. Farmers will switch only when they are ...

Inklusive Erwachsenenbildung umsetzen: Die Fortbildung des Projekts INAZ zur Qualifizierung und Professionalisierung der Lehrkräfte in der Erwachsenenbildung
(2021)
Im Zentrum dieses Beitrags steht die Fortbildung für inklusive Erwachsenenbildung, die sich an Kursleitende der Alphabetisierung und des Zweiten Bildungswegs richtet. Diese Fortbildung wurde aus der Praxis für die Praxis im BMBF-finanzierten Forschungsprojekt „Inklusive Bildung in der Alphabetisierungspraxis und im System des Zweiten Bildungswegs – Qualifikationen, Kompetenzen und Bedarfe des pädagogischen Personals“ (INAZ) entwickelt. Ziel des Projektes INAZ ist es, die Qualifikationen und Kompetenzen sowie die ...

Engaging diverse experts in the global science-policy interface: Learning experiences from the process of the IPBES Values Assessment
(2023-06-30)
This longitudinal study explores evidence of learning and reflexivity among experts involved in the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) Values Assessment from 2018 to 2022. As part of an online survey administered at yearly intervals, experts self-reported their views on: i) the aims they attributed to the Values Assessment, ii) their epistemic worldviews, iii) the definition of the multiple values of nature, and iv) their personal learning experiences in the ...

Values as leverage points for sustainability transformation: two pathways for transformation research
(2022-08-13)
The burgeoning literature on sustainability transformation agrees that values play a key, albeit unelucidated, role on the transformation research agenda. Recent literature linking values and transformation increasingly points toward the hypothesis that values may act as leverage points for sustainability transformation. However, how transformation research can engage with values as leverage points remains a critical knowledge gap. Here, I argue that transformation research needs to distinguish between two modes of ...

Effect of nanometric γ´-particles on the stress-induced martensitic transformation in ⟨001⟩-oriented Co49Ni21Ga30 shape memory alloy single crystals
(2019)
The effect of finely dispersed particles on the functional properties and morphology of thermally induced martensite in Co-Ni-Ga shape memory alloys has been already reported in literature, however, still important aspects are not fully understood. The current study focuses on the stress-induced martensitic transformation of solution-annealed, i.e. precipitate-free, and aged 〈001〉-oriented single crystals. In situ optical microscopy and neutron diffraction experiments show a significant influence of γ′-particles on ...

Transformative research for sustainability: characteristics, tensions, and moving forward
(2024-02-14)
Technical summary:
The question of how science can become a lever in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals permeates most recent sustainability research. Wide-ranging literature calling for a transformative approach has emerged in recent years. This ‘transformative turn’ is fueled by publications from fields such as sustainability science, social-ecological research, conservation science, sustainability transitions, or sustainability governance studies. However, there is a lack of a shared understanding ...

Bridge over troubled water: managing compatibility and conflict among thought collectives in sustainability science
(2021-12-01)
Sustainability transformations call forth new forms and systems of knowledge across society. However, few tools and processes exist for promoting dialogue among different interests and normative stances in knowledge co-creation. In this article, we build on the notion of thought collectives to argue that understanding and moderating normative tensions are necessary if sustainability science is to provide successful solutions. Drawing on an analysis of the normative tensions between rival high-tech and low-tech thought ...

Loving the mess: navigating diversity and conflict in social values for sustainability
(2019-08-24)
This paper concludes a special feature of Sustainability Science that explores a broad range of social value theoretical traditions, such as religious studies, social psychology, indigenous knowledge, economics, sociology, and philosophy. We introduce a novel transdisciplinary conceptual framework that revolves around concepts of ‘lenses’ and ‘tensions’ to help navigate value diversity. First, we consider the notion of lenses: perspectives on value and valuation along diverse dimensions that describe what values focus ...

Influences on the mechanical properties of SRCs in a combined compacting and back injecting process
(2022-03-03)
In this research paper, the effects of the combined compacting and back-injection process to produce back-injected self-reinforced composites on the mechanical properties of the self-reinforced composites (SRCs) are investigated. For this purpose, the parameters barrel temperature, time of injection and holding pressure were varied for the back injection. Tensile and bending tests were carried out on the SRCs. The results show that the mechanical properties depend to a large extent on the process parameters. The ...
