Innovative formulation of oleogels using bioactive compounds and sal starch and characterization of their products
(2022-02-15)
There is a focus on oleogels nowadays with low saturated fatty acids and zero trans fatty acids to substitute solid fats in various food formulations. The other advantage of using oleogels that it can retain the health benefits of the individual oils especially the micronutrients as the processing does not involve high temperature. The present study used a blend of rice bran oil and sesame oil, both the oils are rich in micronutrients, together with starch obtained from sal meal and lecithin as gelling agent to ...

Optimising beekeeping development programs for improved productivity, income and welfare: a case study of Papua New Guinea
(2020-10-19)
Beekeeping can provide important sources of cash income for farmers in developing countries where land is unconducive to crop and livestock production systems. In many low-income countries however, attrition among beekeeping adopters remains a chronic problem, colony losses are high, support for and coordination of the sector is low, and practices, production and income from beekeeping is often inefficient. This study investigated the key drivers and practices influencing incomes from beekeeping, honey production and ...

Verletzbarkeit als menschliches Charakteristikum
(Beltz Juventa, 2020)
Wenn Menschen an ihrer Leistungsfähigkeit gemessen und somit auf die Funktionsfähigkeit ihrer Körper und Sinne reduziert werden, können hierauf stigmatisierende und diskriminierende individuelle Handlungsweisen bzw. gesellschaftliche Ausgrenzungspraktiken und -strukturen folgen. Dies lässt sich auch an der Klassifizierung von Behinderung durch den Vergleich mit einer als Normalität konstruierten Funktionsfähigkeit in der Internationalen Klassifikation von Funktionsfähigkeit, Behinderung und Gesundheit (ICF) der ...

Forage biomass availability, species diversity and seasonal variation in grazing behaviour of cattle in the outskirts of Ouagadougou
(2020-10-14)
In order to determine the exploitation of grazing areas in the outskirts of Ouagadougou by cattle herds, the grazing behaviour of cows was monitored in five villages in these during three distinct seasons, namely wet, cool dry and hot dry season. A vegetation study including a census of the woody and herbaceous stratum of grazing areas allowed for an assessment of the pasture biomass availability during the wet season. Results of the monitoring of cattle herds showed that the land type grazed by cattle in the outskirts ...

Living and Planning on the Edge: Unravelling Conflict and Claim-Making in Peri-Urban Lahore, Pakistan
(2021-05-25)
In Lahore, Pakistan’s second largest city, high population growth rates, decades of rural-urban migration, and rampant land and real-estate speculation have contributed to the rapid urbanization of peri-urban land and the engulfing of pre-existing rural settlements. Lahore’s spatial transformation goes hand in hand with an increasingly complex urban governance framework. Historically shaped by colonial planning institutions and decades of political instability as power alternated between military and civilian regimes, ...

Gender differences in time-poverty among rural households in Southwest Nigeria
(2021-10-29)
This study seeks to assess gender inequality in and correlates of time poverty among 360 rural households in Southwest, Nigeria. A person is deemed to be time poor if (s)he works more than 10.5 hours per day, the internationally accepted threshold. Using the time allocation domain of the Abbreviated Women’s Empowerment in Agriculture Index, the study found that on the average, rural women and men spent about 10.3 hours and 8 hours, respectively, on work activities on a daily basis. Work activities for women were found ...

No Chaos in Dixon's System
(2020)
The so-called Dixon system is often cited as an example of a two-dimensional (continuous) dynamical system that exhibits chaotic behaviour, if its two parameters take their value in a certain domain. We provide first a rigorous proof that there is no chaos in Dixon's system. Then we perform a complete bifurcation analysis of the system showing that the parameter space can be decomposed into sixteen different regions in each of which the system exhibits qualitatively the same behaviour. In particular, we prove that ...

Tillage system and integrated soil fertility inputs improve smallholder farmers’ soil fertility and maize productivity in the Central Highlands of Kenya
(2021-09-20)
We designed and implemented an on-farm trial in Meru South and Gatanga sub-counties to understand the effects of integrated soil fertility management (ISFM) technologies on soil nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), and maize productivity. The technologies included combinations of mineral fertiliser and maize stover (CrMf); crop residue, Tithonia diversifolia and rock phosphate (CrTiP); crop residue, Tithonia diversifolia and goat manure (CrTi-Man); crop residue, inorganic fertiliser and goat manure (CrMfMan); ...

Dualer Ausbildungsmarkt in der Corona-Pandemie und benachteiligte Gruppen
(2021-05)
Bevor wir uns im zweiten Abschnitt den Folgen der Corona-Pandemie widmen, möchten wir zunächst herausarbeiten, wie sich der duale Ausbildungsmarkt generell in den vergangenen Jahren entwickelt hat. Für das Zustandekommen von neu abgeschlossenen Ausbildungsverträgen spielt neben der wirtschaftlichen Gesamtentwicklung das Interesse junger Menschen an einem Ausbildungsplatz sowie die Ausbildungsbereitschaft von Betrieben eine zentrale Rolle.
