Published: May 2023

Leucaena leucocephala (Lam.) de Wit (Leucaena) is a woody fodder legume with extensive use as livestock feed in the tropics becasuse of its adaptation and productivity in tropical environments. This review discusses benefits of Leucaena as feed for bovines in realtion to tropical grasses, among these benefits are: lower methane (CH4) emission; higher intake of protein, Ω3 fatty acids and minerals; incorporation of atmospheric nitrogen (N2) to the soil-plant-animal chain; and, higher N efficiency by the bovine. Mimosine and concentration of condensed tannins above 5% might cause digestive disorders in bovines, then Leucaena intake has to be controlled and use of Leucaena populations with lower mimosine and condensed tannins concentrations. Silvopastoral systems are an option to have Leucaena available for grazing cattle, row tree planting has shown higher animal production than scattered trees and cluster. Silvopastoral system with Leucaena can increase total available forage by 8.7 t of DM ha-1 yr-1, this additional forage can have 22 to 25% and 55 to 61% crude protein and in vitro dry matter digestibility, respectively. Planned incorporation of Leucaena to the grazing areas has shown to yield 9.1 to 9.8 kg of milk cow-1 day-1 or 11957 to 14403 kg milk ha-1 yr-1; and, 693 to 851 g of live-weight gain animal-1 day-1 or 788 to 1337 kg of live-weight ha-1 yr-1. Leucaena inclusion on grazing areas improves livestock productivity in tropical areas with lower environmental impact than tropical grasses alone; however, more reaserch is needed to overcome some Leucaena agronomic and nutritional limitations.
LIMITANTES TÉCNICO-PRODUCTIVAS Y SOCIOECONÓMICAS PARA LA ADOPCIÓN DE LA AGRICULTURA URBANA. EL CASO DE LA RED DE AGRICULTURA URBANA Y PERIURBANA DE XALAPA, VERACRUZ

Published: May 2023

Currently, urban agriculture is recognized worldwide as an important economic activity, which contributes to improving the food, income and the environment of the population living in cities. In Mexico, despite the evident social, economic and environmental benefits of urban agriculture, as well as the existence of successful examples in some cities in this country, most of the population does not participate. The current investigation addressed the case of the Network of Urban and Periurban Agriculture (RAUP) in Xalapa, Veracruz, with the aim of analyzing the technical-productive and socioeconomic limitations to the adoption of urban agriculture, from the perspective of the members who practice this activity in their homes and those who participate sporadically in the network, but have still not implemented it. 25 questionnaires were applied to active members and 10 to those who do not practice this activity. Data from the survey was analyzed using descriptive statistics, with the program Excel. Two types of RAUP participants agreed that the main constraints are socioeconomic, for example lack of space in homesteads and limits on people‘s free time, both of which are related to urban lifestyle; whereas technical-productive limitations were not considered relevant.
INFLUENCIA DEL TIPO DE ALOJAMIENTO SOBRE EL COMPORTAMIENTO PRODUCTIVO Y BIENESTAR DE CORDEROS EN SISTEMAS DE ENGORDA INTENSIVOS

Published: May 2023

The aim of this review was to determine the influence of the housing type on the productive performance and welfare of lambs in intensive fattening systems. The available literature shows several housing types that differ by their position, either at ground level or elevated or from the bedding material used. Raised pens, per se, do not seem to improve the productive performance of the lambs. In addition, they negatively influence animal welfare. For these reasons, it is proposed to enrich the environment in these housing types without increasing costs and improving comfort for animals. In Mexico, contrary to other producing countries of sheep, there is a lack of scientific evidences of the suitable housing for fattening and finishing lambs in the different geographical zones of the country. The attention to this demand, in a multidisciplinary manner, would help to reduce the production problems, welfare issues and economic losses in a sustainable manner in the fattening of sheep in Mexico.

Published: May 2023

The objective of the present study was to characterize growth rates of new megatérmicas varieties of Cenchrus purpureus with tolerance to water stress in Valle del Cauto conditions. To this end, new varieties of C. purpureus were used (CT-601, CT-603, CT-605, CT-608, CT-609 and CT-115 as control), at different regrowth ages (60, 90, 120 and 150 days), which were arranged in a random block design with factorial arrangement with four replicas. Within the low rainfall season, CT-601 stood out in the absolute growth rate (106.6 g day-1), but did not present significant differences (p≥0.05) with the rest of the varieties in this age group. . While the CT-115 variety presented the highest values for the relative growth rate at 60 days (114.4 g day-1), foliar area at the ages of 90 and 120 (285, 8 and 211.6 cm2, respectively ) and leaf area index (41.4) between 90 and 150 days the leaf area at 120 days of age (48.5 cm2 days-1) (p≤0.001). For the rainy season only TCA was affected by the interaction variety and age, and was represented by CT-608 at 60 days (p≤0.01) with 347.7 g day-1 of dry matter accumulation. It is concluded that the low rainfall regime, characteristic of Valle del Cauto, conditioned the morphological response in a marked way when combined the use of the new varieties in different ages of regrowth, while, in the rains, only the absolute growth rate is affected by this effect.

Authors: Holguín Vilma A. , Ortiz Sanin , Díaz Gisou , Mora-Delgado Jairo
Published: May 2023

This study evaluated different models and proposed a reliable and accurate model using non-destructive measurements of leaf length (L) and/or width (W) for estimating the leaf area of Tithonia diversifolia (TD). Rapid, reliable and objective estimation of the leaf area is essential for numerous studies in agronomy and plant physiology, however, it is done usually by the availability of sophisticated and expensive electronic integrate methods. Allometric equations were developed by measuring W, L and LA of 92 leaves of TD, by a linear regression analysis. The current leaf area was measured using ImageJ software. With the observed and estimated information, a Pearson correlation analysis was performed. Pearson correlation coefficients oscillated between 0.93-0.94 for the best mathematical models. Equations which used as variable the product L*W presented strong relationships with the observed leaf area, manifested in high determination coefficients (R2 = 0.89). Therefore, the use of the product of L*W as the independent variable was found to be accurate to predict the TD leaf area. In conclusion, a lineal model was developed to predict the leaf area for the T. diversifolia (y=0.755+0.438(W*L).

The multiple effects in agriculture due to plant morphogenic conditions lead to the concern to search viable alternatives for the propagation and feasible development of crops. Therefore, it has had to resort to new techniques, such is the case of micropropagation techniques such as cuttings, which are based on the promotion and multiplication of plants, quickly, efficiently and in large quantities; due this reason it has been considered one of the most successful biotechnological methods in agriculture. The technique of cuttings results in a new plant identical to the plant from which it precedes; this quick and simple technique can be performed on most plants. One way of guaranteeing root development properly during micropropagation techniques is the use of certain growth regulators, of which the most used are the auxins, such as indole-3-acetic acids (AIA), Naphthaleneacetic acid (ANA) and indolbutyric acid (AIB). These auxins promote the initiation of roots and have been attributed the ability to stimulate cell divisions in the radicle. In addition to the auxins, the roots of the cuttings can be favored using treatments based on hormones, microorganisms and bioactive compounds. The morphogenic characteristics of the plants and the application of treatments, among other factors, contribute to the successful establishment of a crop.

Published: May 2023

The objective of the research was to evaluate the antibacterial activity of five terpenoid compounds: carvacrol, limonene, linalool, α-terpinene and thymol in Gram negative bacteria (Escherichia coli, Salmonella spp and Pseudomona spp) and Gram positive (Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus spp). The antibacterial activity was determined by the disk diffusion method on Mueller-Hinton agar; as controls were used alcohol 70% and two antibiotics (ceftibuten and cephalexin) were used for Gram negative and positive bacteria respectively. Were made five concentrations of 0.75, 0.45, 0.15, 0.075 and 0.05 mg mL-1 for the terpenoids compounds and antibiotics. The largest inhibition zone were presented with carvacrol (5.5 mm), linalool (6 mm) and thymol (5.5 mm) in the bacteria Salmonella spp, S. aureus and E. coli respectively. The bacteria most sensitive to the terpenoids were E. coli, Salmonella spp and S. aureus while the most resistant bacteria were Pseudomona spp and Streptococcus spp. It is concluded that there is no difference in antibacterial activity among the five terpenoids compounds when exposed to Gram negative and positive bacteria, except when evaluated with S. aureus bacteria where carvacrol, limonene and linalool have an antibacterial effect similar to that of cephalexin antibiotic.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the forage quality and productivity of Cenchrus purpureus cultivars grown in Ecuador, Maná zone. Varieties of Cenchrus purpureus cv Purple and Maralfalfa were used in different ages of regrowth (45, 60, 75 and 90 days) distributed in a randomized block design of random effects in factorial arrangement with four replications. Variance analyzes were carried out in which the effects of regrowth age (4), variety (2) and their interaction (4 x 2) were controlled, with a total of eight treatments. Both varieties continued to accumulate forage upwards until 90 days (p≤0.05) with 59.1 and 53.7 t GM ha-1 for Purple pasture and Maralfalfa, respectively. In the morphometric indicators, the highest (P≤0.001) leaf length was obtained in the Maralfalfa at 90 days (111.8 cm), while for the width the Purple grass showed superiority (P≤0.001) at 45 (2.92 cm) ) and 75 days (2.88 cm). Among the chemical variables of C. purpureus that are modified by the La Maná climate are the nitrogen content (P≤0.05) and ether extract with different levels of significance, while the Heliophone, minimum and average temperature, dew point , rainfall and days with rain, affect the chemical composition of the pastures under study (P≤0.05, P≤0.01 and P≤0.001, respectively). The digestibility of DM, OM, metabolizable energy, net of lactation and fattening were decreasing (P≤0.001) depending on the age of the plant. It is concluded that the age of the plant modified the morphophysiology of both varieties and the productivity of green biomass behaved ascending. The loss of chemical quality was increased depending on the age of regrowth; however, DM and OM digestility greater than 50% were obtained.

Published: May 2023

Cross-cultural communication is becoming increasingly important in our globalized world, as individuals and organizations interact with people from different cultural backgrounds. Metaphors and rhetoric are powerful tools for communication, but their interpretation and use vary across cultures. This paper explores the definition and use of metaphors and rhetoric in different cultural contexts, possible misunderstandings and difficulties caused by their use in cross-cultural communication, and strategies for applying them effectively. A case study of a business negotiation between a Western company and a Chinese company is used to illustrate the potential for misunderstandings and difficulties. The paper concludes with a discussion on the importance of cultural competence and understanding cultural differences in communication for successful cross-cultural communication.
The Relativistic Equations of Motion for a Charged Particle in the Magnetic Field of an Infinite Current-Carrying Wire
Authors: Sfarti A.
Published: May 2023

We show how to produce the closed form solution for the motion of a charged particle in the magnetic field of an infinitely long, current-carrying wire in the relativistic range, thus extending the results produced recently (Asadi-Zeydabadi, M., & Zaidins, C. S., 2019). We outline the areas where the two solutions are similar aa well as where the two solutions are slightly different. We also extend the work in (Asadi-Zeydabadi, M., & Zaidins, C. S., 2019) to the more realistic case where the current generates both a magnetic and an electric field, as is the case in real life. We plan to extend the approach in the future to more complicated cases as the one of the finite length wire. The solution is of great interest for the design of particle accelerators, hence it is interesting for both theoretical physicists and engineers alike.

Fuel-Free Energy Approach to Universe Exploration by Cosmic Levitation
Authors: Bryndin Evgeny
Published: May 2023

In the Universe, everything is subject to certain Laws (principles, rules) and naturally that the process of gravity cannot be an exception. Gravitational energy regulates interactions in the universe: nuclear, chemical, electrical, and others. Each massive body generates a force gravitational field of attraction to it. Gravitational interaction spreads instantly. Masses or energy-carrying particles moving in gravitational fields emit gravitational waves. The signal from gravitational waves comes at about the same frequency as our inner speech. Gravitational waves carry information about energy, time and space. Humanity has long sought to overcome the power of gravity. If you shield the connection with the Earth’s core, then there will be an attraction to another field in the Sky. The article discusses ways to overcome gravity on earth and in outer space. The approach of cosmic levitation to interstellar galactic travel in the universe is also being considered. To levitate spacecraft, you need to use the setting on the fields of attraction. To levitate a spacecraft from Earth to the Universe, it is necessary to bring its energy to such activity that its ether contours will absorb the energy sphere of the target gravitational field. The reason for levitation and infinite energy lies in the ethereal shell, which needs a complex of vibrations of the field of attraction.

Chinese film is one of the communication channels of Chinese culture, and promoting the international communication of Chinese film is an important means to improve the soft power of national culture. However, at present, Chinese film is still in the “non-mainstream” position in international film development. Therefore, the development of Chinese film should realize the importance of “going out”, fully integrate the development strategy of “The Belt and Road Initiative”, develop the Silk Road of Chinese films with Chinese characteristics, and promote the international development of Chinese films. Starting from the analysis of the challenges faced by the international communication of Chinese films, this paper puts forward the international communication channels of Chinese films, hoping to have certain reference significance in the process of the international communication of Chinese films.
Exploring Juvenile Delinquency from the Perspective of Routine Activity Theory in Criminology
Authors: Wang Danru
Published: May 2023

Juvenile Delinquency has always been a significant proportion of criminal cases in China, and despite a series of policies aimed at curbing it, the effect has been minimal. The types of juvenile delinquency are mainly violent and predatory, and they involve certain contact or connection between the offender and the victim. This is in line with routine activity theory in criminology, which can be used to prevent victimization and reduce adolescent crime. However, before applying the theory, it is necessary to analyze the essential factors of adolescent crime from this perspective. This paper is based on this analysis.

News about violations of academic freedom have increased with the erosion of civil liberties and the decline of democratization. However, there is little empirical research on the political effects of academic freedom. There is also no consensus on the exact definition of the term. In this article, the meanings of academic freedom are approached through literature and practical advocacy work, and by presenting the indicator published in 2020 by the Varieties of Democracy database. As an example, we examine research results on the link between academic freedom and democracy in Africa, where the university institution has developed in the midst of rapid political changes. Based on interview material, we will focus on the experiences of scholars in Ghana, Cameroon, Kenya and Zimbabwe. Research data shows that academic freedom and higher education support democratic development far into the future. That is why they deserve long-term support through development cooperation.
La pharmaceuticalisation du médicament en Afrique : usages et maux sociaux
Authors: Alice Desclaux  , Marc Eg
Published: May 2023

Dans le premier ouvrage consacré à l’anthropologie du médicament au Sud, les deux auteurs Van der Geest et Reynolds Whyte1 introduisent leur préface en affirmant que « Les médicaments occidentaux inondent le Tiers Monde » (p. 12). Ce constat fait par ces derniers, illustre bien cette dynamique paradoxale qui est au coeur du processus de diffusion du médicament au Sud. D’un côté, il est observé un déficit dans l’approvisionnement en médicaments essentiels et de l’autre, une profusion en masse de médicaments marquée par une diversification des formes et des usages. C’est dans ce contexte, au cours des années 1980, que s’est développée une anthropologie du médicament particulièrement centrée dans les pays du Sud où des anthropologues ont pu contribuer à la mise en place de la stratégie de l’OMS visant à promouvoir les médicaments essentiels aux profits des populations à revenus intermédiaires ou limités. Ils intervenaient aussi auprès des usagers pour se renseigner sur leurs attitudes vis-à-vis de cette politique de santé. L’urgence étant de garantir la disponibilité du médicament au travers de l’application d’un système de soins de santé primaire, destiné notamment pour les maladies prioritaires.

Published: May 2023

Disability is a complex multidimensional challenge and it can substantially limit the major life activities of a person. In the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, it is estimated that 3.73% of the population have functional disabilities. People with disability always stay in the same posture which limits their social independence. A brief introduction and a literature review about exoskeletal prostheses and a preliminary analysis of the biomechanics of passive knees are presented in this paper. The proposed knee joint design has key features that are similar to other currently available knee joints for prosthetic legs. The main components of our design include single-axis knee joints, legs, and sockets. We limited our investigation to a handful of biomechanical variables that can be easily evaluated and generate some targets for long-term rehabilitation research. Thus, by following the cognitive principle of engineering design methodology, i.e. the “weight and rate criterion,” we provide a preliminary concept and theoretical calculations for the development of a cost-effective knee joint system. The Ansys engineering simulation and three-dimensional design software such as SOLIDWORKS simulation were utilized to provide an outlook of our initial prototype. In addition, by subjective and objective approaches, from our theoretical calculation for our designed product, the factor of safety was determined to be higher than 1.5.

Published: May 2023

Este trabalho discute os efeitos da pandemia de Covid-19 na escola pública de educação básica ao aplicar a abordagem psicopedagógica das competências socioemocionais. A Base Nacional Comum Curricular - BNCC prevê o trabalho com competências socioemocionais para que os alunos desenvolvam habilidades. Das competências gerais, trabalha-se as dos grupos 8, 9 e 10. Já como método, utilizou-se de uma abordagem qualitativa etnográfica de pesquisa participante. Adicionalmente, utilizou-se roteiros de entrevistas semiestruturadas para gestores e professores. Os achados das entrevistas e o diário de campo foram analisados mediante Análise de Conteúdo. Os resultados sugeriram a necessidade de atividades que promovessem a (re) socialização dos alunos discutindo os temas emergentes do pós-pandemia. Efetivamente, os resultados desencadearam a criação de um produto técnico-tecnológico em forma de mural dinâmico e interativo como recurso para abordagem das competências socioemocionais. Assim, a oficina psicopedagógica foi desenvolvida por meio de uma atividade prática interdisciplinar no ambiente escolar, contribuindo para a superação de dificuldades individuais e coletivas no convívio social. Portanto, ao elaborar um Produto Técnico-Tecnológico segundo a dinâmica do mestrado profissional, resgatou-se a possibilidade de uso de um instrumento disponível na escola pública para aplicação em atividades alinhadas à BNCC, exemplificando uma abordagem prática de problemas educacionais.
EDUCAÇÃO ÉTNICO-RACIAL E INFÂNCIA: A CONSTRUÇÃO DOS CONCEITOS HISTÓRICOS E GEOGRÁFICOS NOS ANOS INICIAIS DO ENSINO FUNDAMENTAL

Published: May 2023

Nosso objeto de estudo se insere nos debates acerca da construção de conceitos pelas crianças, realizados por professores que lecionam história e geografia. o objetivo foi investigar os desafios para construção de conceitos étnico-raciais nos anos iniciais do ensino fundamental. Desse modo, optamos pelo materialismo histórico-dialético para observar o objeto em seu movimento, lhe conferindo historicidade, haja vista todo fenômeno ser contextualizado. Dos resultados indicam que no processo de construção de conceitos a aprendizagem ainda é percebida como subordinada à maturação biológica do indivíduo, isso negligencia em sua análise a apreensão dos conceitos como produto da história, da vida social e, como efeito, desconsidera as relações entre o desenvolvimento cognitivo, o desenvolvimento intelectual e os elementos constituintes da vida social/cotidiana. Assim, percebe-se a necessidade de construção do conhecimento de forma dialética, que favoreça o salto de qualidade do senso comum para o conhecimento científico e, não apenas para a superação de uma etapa estabelecida. O estudante que conhece os conceitos históricos e materiais presentes nos discursos racializados e no funcionamento da sociedade, usa seu papel como sujeito histórico para subverter as lógicas de atualização do racismo. Portanto, a aprendizagem sendo uma atividade social e a aprendizagem conceitual uma atividade fundamentalmente prática torna-se possível sua apreensão pela criança, inclusive na educação infantil, todavia é importante refletir sobre a forma e a função que assume.

Published: May 2023

O MARE2DEM é uma aplicação paralela e custosa que auxilia a exploração de petróleo através do método eletromagnético. Sendo uma aplicação parametrizável, identifica-se que o refinamento adaptativo das malhas determina o makespan para as inúmeras configurações possíveis. No entanto, modelar tal refinamento mostrou-se complexo pois depende de valores definidos em tempo de execução. Resultados preliminares demostram uma modelagem com acurácia e custo satisfatórios.
Enabling Dynamic Rescheduling in Kubernetes Environments with Kubernetes Scheduling Extension (KSE)
Authors: Carvalho Neto Pedro Moritz de , Castro Márcio , Siqueira Frank
Published: May 2023

An inefficient distribution of pods over nodes in a Kubernetes cluster environment may lead to a suboptimal scenario called node unbalancing. Problems related to scalability, reliability, availability, power consumption and use of resources may arise from this scenario. This study proposes an extension named Kubernetes Scheduling Extension (KSE) that allows the implementation of different node balancing algorithms in Kubernetes.
›Kleinparteien mit schlagartiger landespolitischer Bedeutung‹ – ein Typologisierungsvorschlag
Authors: Träger Hendrik , Rustenbeck Heinrike , Samstag Svenja
Published: May 2023

Die Parteien ohne bundespolitische Relevanz, die häufig in der heterogenen Gruppe der ›Sonstigen‹ zusammengefasst werden, sind nur selten Untersuchungsgegenstand der Parteien- und Wahlforschung. Allerdings können Parteien, die nicht im Bundestag vertreten sind, auf der Landesebene wichtige Funktionen wahrnehmen, indem sie entweder an der Regierung beteiligt sind oder die größte Oppositionsfraktion stellen. Diese Aspekte wurden bei der Typologisierung von Klein- und Kleinstparteien bisher nicht ausreichend berücksichtigt. Um diese Lücke zu schließen, wird in dem vorliegenden Beitrag mit den ›Kleinparteien mit schlagartiger landespolitischer Bedeutung‹ ein neuer Typus entwickelt und mit ausgewählten bisherigen Ansätzen zu einem Modell zusammengefasst.
Der Tarifvertrag: Ausdruck privater oder politischer Autonomie?
Authors: RÖDL FLORIAN
Published: May 2023

Das Grundverständnis der Tarifautonomie ist in begrifflicher und normativer Hinsicht stark umstritten. Das derzeit herrschende und auch von der Rechtsprechung vertretene Verständnis von Tarifautonomie als kollektiv ausgeübter Privatautonomie verkürzt konzeptionell ihre Reichweite, schlägt sich in der Handhabung des geltenden Tarifvertragsrechts restriktiv nieder und stellt sich wichtigen Reformanliegen zur staatlichen Stützung des Tarifvertragssystems entgegen. Diesem herrschenden Verständnis – argumentiert der Autor – ist in der Rechtswissenschaft, vor den Arbeitsgerichten und in der Rechtspolitik entgegenzuhalten, dass es sich bei der Tarifautonomie um eine Form der politischen Autonomie handelt. Tarifautonomie befugt frei gebildete Koalitionen als Tarifvertragsparteien zu einer von staatlicher Politik unabhängigen Setzung von Rechtsnormen. Die Ausübung dieser autonomen Befugnis ist notwendig, um die Arbeitsbeziehungen gerecht zu gestalten. Darum ist die Sicherung der Funktionsfähigkeit der Tarifautonomie eminente staatliche Aufgabe, die von staatlicher Politik schon allzu lange sträflich vernachlässigt wird.
Tarifsozialpolitik – zwischen Tarifautonomie und sozialpolitischem Auftrag
Authors: BLANK FLORIAN
Published: May 2023

Der Beitrag behandelt tarifliche Regelungen zur sozialen Sicherung der Beschäftigten. Er gibt einen Überblick über die Thematik und stellt anhand von zwei Fallbeispielen das Zusammenspiel von Tarifsystem und staatlicher Regulierung dar. Beleuchtet werden das Kurzarbeitergeld und die betriebliche Altersversorgung, die beide in der Vergangenheit Gegenstand von neuen Tarifabschlüssen oder Anpassungen bestehender Tarifverträge waren, bei gleichzeitigen Reformen des rechtlichen Rahmens. Darauf aufbauend argumentiert der Autor, dass das deutsche System der Tarifsozialpolitik auf Probleme stößt, da staatliche Regulierungen die Bemühungen der Tarifparteien zwar rahmen und fördern sollen, sie aber nicht erzwingen. Angesichts von geringem oder unklarem Nutzen für die Tarifparteien ist die Tarifsozialpolitik damit durch eine hohe Selektivität bei relativ geringer Reichweite geprägt.
Steht die Rechtsentwicklung des NKF (noch) mit dessen ursprünglichen Zielsetzungen in Einklang?
Authors: Jethon André
Published: May 2023

Die Kommunen im Bundesland Nordrhein-Westfalen führen ihre Haushaltswirtschaft seit fast 15 Jahren auf der Grundlage der Doppik im Bedingungsrahmen des Neuen Kommunalen Finanzmanagements (NKF). Seit dessen rechtsverbindlicher Einführung hat der Landesgesetzgeber zahlreiche, zum Teil diskussionswürdige Anpassungen im zugrundeliegenden Kommunalhaushaltrecht vorgenommen, für die augenscheinlich entweder nicht zufriedenstellende bzw. schleppende Praxisumsetzungen einzelner Instrumente oder veränderte finanzwirtschaftliche Anforderungen handlungsleitend waren. Im Rahmen dieses Beitrages soll der Versuch unternommen werden, einige wichtige Rechtsänderungen auf der Grundlage neuerer Literatur und eigener Praxiserfahrungen einzuordnen und mit den ursprünglichen gesetzgeberischen Zielsetzungen der beiden Kernbestandteile des NKF – pointiert: Doppik und Ergebnissteuerung – abzugleichen. Auch wenn sich der Entwicklungsprozess in NRW von denen in anderen Bundesländern unterscheidet, ist der Blick auf das bevölkerungsreichste deutsche Bundesland gleichwohl lohnenswert, steht die dortige Rechtsentwicklung doch stellvertretend für eine gewisse „Verwässerung“ und Rückentwicklung der Reform des kommunalen Haushalts -und Rechnungswesens in Deutschland.
Antecedents and consequences of corporate reputation from a bi-stakeholder perspective in Turkish banking sector
Authors: Çekmecelioğlu Hülya Gündüz , Özbağ Gönül Kaya , Günsel Ayşe , Şevik Neslihan
Published: May 2023

This paper examines the effects of corporate identity strength (CIS) and corporate reputation (CoR) on the performance of Turkish banks. We suggest that CIS is related to firm performance (FP). In addition, CoR is proposed as an important variable that has positive impacts on both organizational identification (OI) and FP. Presumed relationships are tested based on data obtained from 54 banks registered in the Turkey Banking System and Participation Banks Association of Turkey by using SmartPLS 3.0. The findings show that CIS is positively associated with CoR while they provide no empirical evidence in support of a direct relationship between CIS and OI, or between CIS and any of the other performance variables. Moreover, the results also provide empirical evidence regarding a positive relationship between CoR and FP in terms of self-reported and objective measures (AU= asset utilization, and ROA: return on assets). Besides, the findings support the mediation role of CoR between CIS and self reported firm performance. By highlighting the antecedent role of CIS on CoR and firm performance in the banking industry from a bi-stakeholder perspective, this study offers a framework for researchers and managers to visualize and understand the relationships between corporate-level constructs and individual and firm-level outputs, thus enhancing the movement of the Social Identity Theory in OB literature.

Authors: Bordian Mariia , Gil-Saura Irene , Šerić Maja
Published: May 2023

This paper aims to analyse the impact of sustainable marketing communications on consumer responses, based on their ecological knowledge, customer-based brand equity, and satisfaction, and moderated by the trip purpose. Data were obtained from a survey of 303 hotel guests in Kyiv, Ukraine. This research finds that Integrated Marketing Communications consistency for sustainability significantly influences guests’ ecological knowledge and brand equity, which, in turn, considerably impacts guests’ satisfaction. In addition, trip purpose moderates the relationships between the proposed variables and shows significant differences in explaining the impact of sustainable message consistency and the creation of satisfaction for groups of leisure and business travellers.
Die Übertragbarkeit praxisorientierter Lernmodelle („Experiential Learning“) nach US-amerikanischem Vorbild auf die Ausbildung im deutschen Strafprozessrecht
Authors: Benedict Paula
Published: May 2023

Das Studium der Rechtswissenschaften in Deutschland ist trotz mehrfacher Reformbemühungen auch heute noch weitgehend an der Vermittlung theoretischen Rechtsanwendungswissens orientiert. Die Ausbildung fokussiert sich auf die Vermittlung abstrakten Wissens, zwar anhand von juristischen Fällen, jedoch ohne ausreichend auf die Fähigkeiten einzugehen, die später im Beruf dringend benötigt werden. Diese beruflichen Fähigkeiten werden im Studium allenfalls peripher behandelt, und zwar ohne das Wissen tatsächlich praktisch anzuwenden. Zwar könnte darauf verwiesen werden, dass dies im zweiten Teil der zweistufigen Ausbildung geschehe, dem Referendariat, in dem angehende Jurist:innen mehrere Stationen des Anwält:innenberufs durchlaufen und hierbei auch eigenverantwortlich handeln. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt haben die Anwärter:innen aber bereits ein langes Studium hinter sich gebracht, in dem sie wichtige Elemente des Jurist:innenberufs jedoch nie erlernt oder erprobt haben. Weist das Studium keinen hinreichenden Bezug zur Berufswelt auf, besteht überdies die Gefahr, dass die Studierenden nicht erkennen, inwiefern das gelernte theoretische Wissen auch in der Praxis von Relevanz ist. Aus diesem Grunde ist die Wahrscheinlichkeit hoch, dass diese das Wissen nur für die Klausuren im Kurzzeitgedächtnis speichern und dann beim späteren Berufseinstieg nicht mehr verfügbar ist. Dieser Beitrag beschäftigt sich mit der Frage, ob und wie mehr Praxisbezug schon während des Studiums im Rahmen von sogenannten Law Clinics dazu führen kann, Jurist:innen besser auf das Berufsleben vorzubereiten. Law Clinics sind in US-amerikanischen Law Schools schon lange weit verbreitet, was auch daran liegt, dass das US-amerikanische Rechtssystem fall- bzw. präjudizienorientiert ausgestaltet ist. Folglich wäre die Vermittlung abstrakten Wissens im Sinne einer dogmatisch-juristischen bzw. theoretischen Ausbildung mit wenig Bezug zu (realen) Fällen, wie die deutsche Jurist:innenausbildung bisher konstruiert ist, im US-amerikanischen System nicht zielführend. Daher gilt generell, dass in den USA „die Praxis herrscht“, während in Deutschland „die Theorie das Feld dominiert“. Insbesondere ist fraglich, wie sinnvoll dieser Fokus auf die Theorie für die deutsche Jurist:innenausbildung ist und welche Fähigkeiten möglicherweise besser durch praxisorientierte Lernmodelle vermittelt werden können.
Wie ein asynchroner Onlinekurs interaktiver wird als eine Präsenzveranstaltung
Authors: Wünsche Kai E.
Published: May 2023

Dieser Beitrag zeigt, dass bei geschickter Gestaltung ein asynchroner Onlinekurs mehr Interaktion bieten kann als eine Online-Live- und sogar eine Präsenzveranstaltung. Nach Ausführungen zur grundsätzlichen Gestaltung eines Onlinekurses in gängigen Lernmanagementsystemen werden konkrete Werkzeuge vorgestellt, die dem Kurs interaktiven Charakter verleihen. Sodann folgen Anregungen, wie die Erstellung eines Onlinekurses erleichtert werden kann. Abschließend werden wesentliche „Glaubenssätze“ insbesondere zur Präsenzlehre kritisch hinterfragt und geprüft, inwieweit oft vorgetragene Argumente tatsächlich gegen asynchrone Online-Lehre ins Feld geführt werden können.
