Präsente Schreiber(innen). Nähe und Lebendigkeit in privaten Briefen aus diskurstraditioneller Sicht
(V&R UnipressBonn University Press, 2015)
Briefe sind eine kommunikative Praxis, die es erlaubt, einen Dialog über raumzeitliche Distanzen zu führen. Private Briefe ermöglichen im Idealfall eine dialogische Interaktion unter vertrauten Gesprächspartnern in einem von der Öffentlichkeit getrennten privaten Raum. Eine wichtige Voraussetzung zur Erzeugung von Nähe und Vertrautheit ist, dass es dem Schreiber gelingt, sich im Brief als die vertraute Person darzustellen, der sich der Adressat verbunden fühlt. Der Schreiber steht also vor der Aufgabe, sich im Brief ...

The Dark Triad and the PID-5 Maladaptive Personality Traits: Accuracy, Confidence and Response Bias in Judgments of Veracity
(2017-09-21)
The Dark Triad traits—narcissism, Machiavellianism and psychopathy—have been found to be associated with intra- or interpersonal deception production frequency. This cross-sectional study (N = 207) investigated if the Dark Triad traits are also associated with deception detection accuracy, as implicated by the recent conception of a deception-general ability. To investigate associations between maladaptive personality space and deception, the PID-5 maladaptive personality traits were included to investigate if besides ...

Fat-containing cells are eliminated during Dictyostelium development
(2017-09-15)
Triacylglycerol is a universal storage molecule for metabolic energy in living organisms. However, Dictyostelium amoebae, that have accumulated storage fat from added fatty acids do not progress through the starvation period preceding the development of the durable spore. Mutants deficient in genes of fat metabolism, such as fcsA, encoding a fatty acid activating enzyme, or dgat1 and dgat2, specifying proteins that synthesize triacylglycerol, strongly increase their chances to contribute to the spore fraction of the ...

Die zeitgenössische Rezeption des genre sérieux im Frankreich des 18. Jahrhunderts
(2017-04)
Die vorliegende rezeptionsästhetische Untersuchung analysiert die zeitgenössische Wirkung des genre sérieux, das in der zweiten Hälfte des 18. Jahrhunderts zwischen Tragödie und Komödie tritt, sich an das Bürgertum wendet und auf die Gefühle abzielt. Mit spektakulären Inszenierungen an der Comédie Française und den Provinzbühnen wird es schnell zum Publikumsmagneten.
Inzwischen sind ein Großteil der Stücke des genre sérieux in Vergessenheit geraten. Die Literaturgeschichte beschränkt sich auf die ...

A scenario approach to modeling land-use changes and assessing associated environmental impacts in Southern Amazonia
(2017-03)
Humanity has left its footprint on the surface of the earth since it managed to purposefully employ tools and fire to its specific needs. Especially the conversion of natural habitats into agricultural productive land has transformed close to forty percent of the natural land-cover in order to satisfy global demands for food, raw materials, and energy. One current example of dynamic land-use and land-cover changes can be witnessed in Southern Amazonia. Spatially explicit land-use change models are applied to investigate ...

Rainfall Prediction with AMSR–E Soil Moisture Products Using SM2RAIN and Nonlinear Autoregressive Networks with Exogenous Input (NARX) for Poorly Gauged Basins: Application to the Karkheh River Basin, Iran
(2018-07-23)
Accurate estimates of daily rainfall are essential for understanding and modeling the physical processes involved in the interaction between the land surface and the atmosphere. In this study, daily satellite soil moisture observations from the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer–Earth Observing System (AMSR–E) generated by implementing the standard National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) algorithm are employed for estimating rainfall, firstly, through the use of recently developed approach, SM2RAIN ...

Extreme Ultraviolet to Visible Dispersed Single Photon Detection for Highly Sensitive Sensing of Fundamental Processes in Diverse Samples
(2018-05-23)
The detection of a single photon is the most sensitive method for sensing of photon emission. A common technique for single photon detection uses microchannel plate arrays combined with photocathodes and position sensitive anodes. Here, we report on the combination of such detectors with grating diffraction spectrometers, constituting a low-noise wavelength resolving photon spectroscopy apparatus with versatile applicability. We recapitulate the operation principle of such detectors and present the details of the ...

A Paradigm Shift in Water Quality Governance in a Transitional Context: A Critical Study about the Empowerment of Local Governance in Georgia
(2018-01-01)
The management of water quality is an important part of natural resource governance. Assurance of water quality therefore requires formulation of the regulatory framework and institutional process. Water quality-related problems and their management are mainly recognized as local responsibilities in Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM). The politics of environmental policy-making should consider the political economic dynamics and socio-ecological patterns. Decentralization by providing more power to the local ...

Nutrition Transition and Traditional Food Cultural Changes in Sri Lanka during Colonization and Post-Colonization
(2018-07-13)
Sri Lanka was a colony of the Portuguese, Dutch, and British. The simplification of Sri Lankan food culture can be seen most clearly today, including how the diet has been changed in the last 400 years since the colonial occupation began. Therefore, greater efforts must be made to uncover the colonial forces that have undermined food security and health in Sri Lanka. Also traditional eating habits, which are associated with countless health benefits, have been gradually replaced by the globalized food system of ...

Sustainability Tensions in Supply Chains: A Case Study of Paradoxes and Their Management
(2018-02-06)
The comprehensive coverage of sustainability issues in a supply chain incurs goal conflicts—i.e., sustainability tensions—and is often limited by market characteristics, such as the availability of sustainable materials and services. While the mainstream business is prioritizing economic goals, a number of entrepreneurs are trying to move forward to more sustainable business practices for their own company and their supply chain. Fairphone represents such a case in the electronics industry, which is openly communicating ...
