City Development Regimes in-the-Making. Phronetic Analysis of Governance, Networks and Power in Cairo, 2011-2022
(2024)
Since the revolutionary uprising of January 2011, Cairo’s inner-city neighbourhoods have undergone rapid spatial transformations. Over the last decade, numerous old housing buildings have been replaced by modern ones, leading to the displacement of residents to the desert cities or newly-constructed neighbourhoods outside the city centre. The most remarkable transformations occurred since early 2018. Notably, these changes have been characterised by a fast implementation rate and a lack of community resistance to ...

Testing the Impact of Large-scale Digital Support on Students' Paths Toward College Education

Increasing the share of college graduates can boost productivity, promote social mobility, and improve well-being. However, these benefits are often realized when the education system satisfies the demands of the industry. Otherwise, society may face skill shortages. This thesis aims to expand the understanding of how to attract students, particularly minorities, to pursue academic majors linked to the areas facing skill shortages (henceforth, high-rewarding majors). To accomplish this, it examines the impact of ...

Parameter recommendation for injection molding based on similarity analysis of injection molded parts
(2023)
Injection molding is a widespread manufacturing process for producing complex plastic shapes. The process is controlled by a large number of parameters, which show interactions with each other. Thereby the determination of an optimal operating point during sampling is a resource-consuming and demanding task. The data, which is generated during sampling, is usually not used for subsequent sampling processes. In the context of Industry 4.0, manufacturing companies attempt to optimize production efficiency to save time ...

Baumwolle als Faserverstärkung
(2023)
Jedes Jahr landen große Mengen Textilen auf Deponien oder in der thermischen Verwertung. Ein Teil dieser Abfälle könnte allerdings auch als Rohstoffe für Verbundwerkstoffe dienen. Baumwollfasern eignen sich etwa als Verstärkungsfasern, die die mechanischen Eigenschaften von biobasierten Kunststoffen steigern. Durch die Nutzung solcher Abfallströme können in Zukunft kostengünstig und biobasiert Materialien verstärkt werden.

Analysis of agricultural landscape transformation and cropping system diversification in southern Myanmar
(2023)
Myanmar's forests are rich in biodiversity and have significant potential for carbon reduction. Kyunsu Township in southern Myanmar is still covered by biodiverse tropical evergreen rainforests on the highlands and mangroves on the coastline, conserving carbon stocks. However, the expansion of croplands into these forests to meet the growing demand for food and crop income is a major driver of deforestation and loss of carbon sinks. Thus, balancing agricultural land use and natural resource conservation is vital for ...

Management factors influencing cow milk quality and safety in the Indian megacity of Bengaluru
(2023)
Ensuring animal welfare is a critical priority for livestock farmers in the face of urbanization. Rapid urban growth increases the demand for animal products but decreases availability of arable land around cities with negative implications for animal feed production. In urbanizing regions, livestock keepers resort to common pool resources for animal nutrition. Yet, the repercussions of urbanization on the quality of common pool feed resources, animal health, production and product safety, remain unstudied. Additionally, ...

Transforming towards a sustainable circular economy: exploring the social dimension, actor contribution and emerging paradoxes
(2023)
Pressing global societal challenges highlight organisational vulnerability and the need to transform towards more sustainable production and consumption measures. The circular economy concept is considered an alternative to the prevalent linear economic system. It aims to contribute to sustainable development by slowing and closing resource cycles and facilitating cross-sectoral collaboration of multiple stakeholders. Yet, the desired transformation is lagging behind and the current debate focuses primarily on the ...
