Nutrient and oil profile of Escamol, an edible larva of ants (Liometopum apiculatum Mayr)
(2021-05-25)
The objective of this study was to evaluate proximal chemical analysis, oil and fatty acids in escamol dehydrated and butter-fried that are commercially available in Mexico. In order to measure the escamol and oil quality, a chemical analysis were performed. The identification fatty acids was by refractive index. The proximal chemical analysis results in escamol fresh and deshydrated indicated that moisture (56.00-1.89 %), protein (15.30-34.78 %), lipids (20.05-45.57 %), ash (1.91-4.35 %) and carbohydrates (6.73-13.41 ...

Genotypic differences in body weight and physiological response of local and exotic turkeys challenged with Salmonella typhimurium
(2021-11-02)
To better understand susceptibility and/ or tolerance of locally adapted turkey to salmonellosis, we compared bodyweight, antibody titres and physiological traits based on genotype and sex of salmonella-infected turkeys. Three hundred poults from two genotypes (160 local and 140 exotic turkeys) were raised for twenty weeks. Bodyweight (BW), rectal temperature (RT), pulse rate (PR) and respiratory rate (RR) were measured weekly. Blood samples were collected from each turkey before and after inoculations at week 8 and ...

Drivers of adaptation to climate change in vulnerable farming communities: a micro analysis of rice farmers in Ndop, Cameroon
(2021-11-04)
Farmers in developing economies often struggle to adapt to climate change and their decisions to adapt usually hinges on perception and prevailing socio-economic factors. This study examines factors controlling farmers’ decision to adapt to climate change and evaluate the impact of such decisions on farm output. Using primary data from 138 rice farming households in Ndop-Cameroon, we employ the probit model with endogenous switching regression to investigate the impact of the farmers’ adaptation decisions on output. ...

Fluoreszenzmikroskopische in-situ-Untersuchungen zu Wechselwirkungen von Fließmitteln und Partikeln in zementären Systemen
(2021)
Effektive rheologiemodifizierende Zusatzmittel sind aus der modernen Betontechnologie nicht mehr wegzudenken. Sei es der wirtschaftlichere, weil schnellere Einbau von fließfähigem Normalbeton oder die Herstellung von hoch- und ultrahochfesten Betonen; die so genannten Fließmittel spielen eine zentrale Rolle beim Einsatz und bei der Entwicklung zeitgemäßer, zementgebundener Baustoffe. Zur detaillierten Untersuchung der Wirkungsmechanismen wurde in dieser Arbeit eine Methode entwickelt, die die Beobachtung der ...

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.

Is the Mafia a State Apparatus?
(2021-12)
Starting from the relations of production, this paper examines the role of mafia for the preservation of social power and class relations in Sicily. To this end, the concept of the informal state apparatus is introduced. Following the approach of Critical Grounded Theory, this paper proposes to fill explanatory gaps in conventional mafia research by means of Nicos Poulantzas’ historical materialist state theory. In-depth field research confirms the systematic generation of irregularity through conditions in which it ...

A comparative cost-benefit analysis between fairtrade certified and non-certified cocoa production in the South-West region of Cameroon
(2021-12-31)
In order to promote cocoa agroforestry by encouraging cocoa farmers to integrate fruit trees inside their cocoa orchards, cocoa certification was initially launched since 2012 in Cameroon. Nowadays, cocoa certification is adopted by a few farmers and makes up only 3% of the national cocoa production. Using the most predominant Fairtrade certification in the South-West region, this study compared certified and non-certified cocoa production via a cost-benefit analysis. The results indicated that, in spite of its ...

Assessing African Energy Transitions: Renewable Energy Policies, Energy Justice, and SDG 7
(2021-02-26)
Renewable energy has made significant inroads in addressing growing energy demands on the African continent. However, progress towards SDG 7 is still limited and difficult to trace. Furthermore, the results-oriented rationale of the SDGs means that both policy change and the dimension of environmental justice are not covered properly. We argue that the energy justice concept may provide a powerful tool to offset looming trade-offs and enhance the co-benefits of SDG 7 within broader transition endeavours. In doing so, ...
