Ordoliberalism Out of Order? The Fragile Constitutionality of Greek Austerity (Part Two)
(2020-06)
This is the second part of a two-part post. The first part, available here, considered the historical background of the concept of constitutional order and its relation to the ordoliberal project. Judicial independence was examined in parallel with central bank independence, with each understood as a means of insulating policy from social and democratic pressures and also as a means of enacting and maintaining fiscal discipline and market-conforming order. It also included some preliminary observations on the relation ...

Ordoliberalism Out of Order? The Fragile Constitutionality of Greek Austerity (Part One)
(2020-05)
The architecture of the European Monetary Union (EMU) has often been understood to be built on a fundamentally ordoliberal framework. [1] The precise characteristics of what constitutes an ordoliberal framework are often not clarified, and they have been widely debated in contemporary scholarship. But a crucial characteristic of ordoliberalism, and one that has received comparatively little attention, concerns the importance of grounding economic policy in a “constitutional order”: ordoliberal political economy insists ...

Greece: Austerity's unexpected allies
(2018-04)
Contrary to pre-electoral proclamations and the recent optimism of the government and its European allies, the situation since 2015 has only gotten worse. Pensions have been cut twice more (with additional cuts promised in future). More than 1 million Greeks have already suffered some form of appropriation due to debt, with another 1.7 million waiting in line - a number that represents only 70% of those indebted to the tax office. One in three face material and social deprivation (Eurostat, 2016), placing Greece third ...

Professionalisierungsprozesse im Lehr-Lern-Labor Sportpädagogik
(2024-03-13)
Mit der Konzeption und Einrichtung des Lehr-Lern-Labors (LLL) Sportpädagogik verfolgt der Arbeitsbereich Erziehung und Unterricht am IfSS der Universität Kassel die Zielsetzung, unterrichtsrelevante Themen an universitären und schulischen Lernorten einer pädagogischen Begründung, didaktischen Erprobung und gemein-samen Reflexion zu unterziehen. Theoretische Bezugspunkte sind zum einen die professionelle Handlungskompetenz und zum anderen die Unterrichtsqualität. Pädagogisches Handeln sollte sich auf wissenschaftliche ...

The Implications of Feedback Frequency for Employee Creativity
(2022)
Managers are still floundering when they have to decide on the optimal level of feedback frequency; either when they consider themselves as a source of feedback, but also when they shape the feedback environment of their employees, e.g., by allowing more (or less) frequent customer feedback. Furthermore, given that feedback is a time-consuming task, managers might be reluctant to provide feedback frequently, foregoing a potentially powerful lever for increasing employee creativity. Ultimately, clarifying the ambiguities ...

Evaluation of Bitumen-Aggregate Adhesion Bond Based on Surface Free Energy and Comparison with Moisture Sensitivity and Asphalt Performance Tests
(2024)
The adhesion bond between aggregate particles and bitumen plays a crucial role in ensuring the durability of asphalt pavement, and it is influenced by factors such as bitumen-aggregate compatibility, moisture exposure, other environmental conditions, and traffic loads. Failure of the adhesion bond results in the detachment of bitumen from the aggregate surface and leads to stripping in the presence of moisture. This, in turn, leads to the development of macro cracks and disintegration within the asphalt pavement, ...

Consumers’ Disposal Behavior at the Base of the Pyramid
(2024)
This dissertation explores the sources of sustainable waste management by examining the disposal behavior of low-income consumers at the base of the pyramid (BoP). Consumer product and package disposal behavior varies internationally and requires a selective strategy for waste management at the BoP. Uniform approaches to waste management have proven inadequate, as BoP markets are complex and heterogeneous and thus need to be considered individually.
Therefore, this dissertation focuses on identifying factors influence ...

Static and Dynamic Characterization of MEMS Micromirror and Microshutter arrays: Reliability and Lifetime
(2024)
Buildings are responsible for 40 % of the primary energy consumption and 36 % of the total CO2 emissions. There is a huge potential to decrease energetic consumption for lighting and heating/cooling by substituting the 85 % of inefficient glazing areas in EU’s buildings with energy efficient smart glazing windows. A micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) based smart glazing system comprising of millions of micro mirrors (invisible to the bare eye) is investigated here. This concept allows dynamic light steering by ...

Literatur- und Filmberichterstattung als journalistisches Feld
(2024)
Die interdisziplinäre Studie „Literatur- und Filmberichterstattung als journalistisches Feld: Vampir-Narrative in deutschen Feuilletons“ nimmt zwei Tendenzen der Berichterstattung über kinder- und jugendzentrierte Vampir-Narrative in den deutschen Feuilletons in den Blick. Sie weist nach, dass sowohl die negative Berichterstattung über jugendzentrierte Vampir-Narrative wie Twilight oder The Vampire Diaries als auch die positiven Artikel über kinderzentrierte Vampir-Narrative wie Der kleine Vampir oder Die Vampirschwestern ...
