Governance for Decent Work in Agricultural Globalisation
(2021)
In the past decades, the agricultural world has become smaller as international food businesses have become organised around a global production network. One of the main factors for the introduction of a more decentralised and flexible food and agricultural system was the wage difference between Global North and Global South actors. In addition, Global South countries have facilitated the spread of Global Agricultural Value Chain/Global Agricultural Production Networks (GAVC/GAPNs) through promoting export processing ...

The challenges of integration for Muslim Adolescents in Germany from the perspective of social work: participation in culture and sports activities
(2020-10)
The integration of immigrants is an important topic not only for the immigrants but also for the whole German society. It is a target of all active players in society to achieve this goal to preserve the stability of the society and increase the harmony among the various ethnic groups of the society. In this work, a survey is conducted in various schools and children and youth promotion institutions in a German city, Kassel, to measure the level of the integration of adolescents with a Muslim or Arabic cultural ...

Simulation, Validierung und Optimierung eines innovativen Kühlsystems bestehend aus PCM-Kühldecken und PINC-Anlage
(2020)
Das Integrieren von passiver infrarot Nachtkühlung (PINC) als volatile erneuerbare Energiequelle in wassergeführte Bürokühlsysteme durch Anwendung von deckenintegrierten aktiv regenerierbaren Phasenwechselmaterialien (PCM-Kühldecken) als dezentraler Kältespeicher im Raum zur Lastenverschiebung stellt ein innovatives Low-Ex Kühlsystem dar, das zwei Hauptprobleme aufweist. Diese Probleme sind einerseits die dynamische Wechselwirkung zwischen Erzeugung und Speicherung wegen der volatilen Kältequelle und der schwankenden ...

Internal Interruptions at Work
(2020)
This dissertation investigates internal interruptions at work, one of the main drivers of multitasking behaviour. The four empirical studies cumulated in this dissertation examine the preconditions to internal interruptions at work, the reasons behind why individuals interrupt themselves, the strategic advantage of internal interruptions, and impact of internal interruptions on performance. The main goals of this dissertation are to uncover the underlying processes of internal interruptions and observe it in real ...

Die hermeneutisch-personzentrierte Perspektive von Care im hohen Alter
(2020)
Da personzentrierte Versorgungsmodelle und Standards mit der Pflege und Betreuung gelingende Care-Arbeit zum Gegenstand haben, ist die Frage, inwieweit die Dimension der Personzentriertheit in den Care-Theorien abgebildet wird, von wissenschaftlichem und praktischem Interesse. Wenn die personzentrierte Versorgung als eine Form der sozialen Praxis und Wirklichkeit verstanden wird, die in den sie beschreibenden und erklärenden Care-Theorien vernachlässigt wird, kann eine bisher nicht bedachte Perspektive oder ein von ...

Movement Recognition and Direction Detection of Pedestrians
(2021)
In this dissertation we developed a method that uses smartphone sensors to recognise the pedestrian movement (using the accelerometer) and direction (using the compass) accurately. The proposed approach works independent of the GPS and also improved the recognition time of pedestrians movement and direction in comparison to using the GPS.Currently, smartphones are the most common devices people carry with them along with the tablets and smartwatches. Most smartphones are equipped with different types of sensors, ...

Tischbein und die Kunst des ‚Goldenen Zeitalters'
(arthistoricum.net, 2020)
Die Kunst des ‚Goldenen Zeitalters‘ der Niederlande steht häufig im Fokus der Kunstgeschichte, doch nur selten hinsichtlich ihrer Rezeptionsgeschichte in Deutschland in der Zeit um 1800. Die Studie schließt diese Lücke am Beispiel der Niederlande-Reise von Johann Heinrich Wilhelm Tischbein und gewinnt dabei einen neuen Blick auf Aspekte wie Bildwissen, Verbreitung und Rezeption der niederländischen Kunst des 17. Jahrhunderts. Beziehungen und Austausch zwischen Künstlern und Kennern, Agenten und Sammlern werden ebenso ...

Investigation of potential drying strategies for quality maintenance of carrot
(2021-05-27)
Convective drying of carrots is a non-linear and unsteady-state process with simultaneous mechanism of heat and mass transfer leading to time varying quality changes along the process and finally causing irreversible quality modification. Inappropriate drying condition will generate many qualities related problems such as destruction of physical properties and discoloration of carrots causing by mechanical and thermal damage due to over-drying or extended drying periods. Inconsistent quality of the product was also ...
