Reference applications for renewable heat
(2021-01-25)
There is a high degree of freedom and flexibility in the way to integrate renewable process heat in industrial processes. Nearly in every industrial or commercial application various heat sinks can be found, which are suitable to be supplied by renewable heat, e.g. from solar thermal, heat pumps, biomass or others. But in contrast to conventional fossil fuel powered heating systems, most renewable heating technologies are more sensitive to the requirements defined by the specific demand of the industrial company. ...

Assessing the Level of Self-Reliance and Livelihood of Encamped Refugees
(Rainer Hampp Verlag, 2020)
Achieving self-reliance among refugees is favoured by many international organisations, though hardly achieved for refugee camps. In many cases, deprived of their human rights, located in remote areas and without access to the local labour market, encamped refugees have no other opportunity than turning to negative coping mechanisms to survive, including sex work, child labour, crime and dangerous work in the informal sector. This book concentrates on measuring self-reliance and identifying factors influencing it in ...

Marica Bodrožić: „Mit meinem Kopf“
(2020)
Die Texte von Marica Bodrožić kann ich nicht lesen, ohne mich in Bewegung, auf Reisen zu fühlen. Das war zunächst ganz wörtlich so; Das Buch „Mein weißer Frieden“ war die Lektüreempfehlung eines Freundes für den Urlaub in Kroatien. Die autobiographischen Erzählungen haben mich berührt durch ihre Blicke auf ein zauberschönes Land in einer Zerrissenheit, die weiter zurückreicht als die Wunden, die der Krieg geschlagen hat. Später habe ich Bodrožić als Lyrikerin wiedergefunden, und ich mag ihre poetologischen Betrachtungen ...

Competitive Pressures and Labour Rights
(Rainer Hampp Verlag, 2020)
While the link between trade liberalisation and labour rights has been mostly studied at a national level, this book analyses this relation at a sectoral level. It draws on case studies of oil palm plantations and the automobile sector in Indonesia. Two main research questions guide the book:
1. How do labour- and capital-intensive sectors in Indonesia respond to competitive pressures brought about by trade liberalisation?
2. What are the implications of such responses on labour rights in the two sectors?
Employing ...
