Corporate Carbon Emission Statements: A Double Entry System
Creators: name: Reichelstein, Stefan
Publisher: name: University of Notre Dame
Year: 2025
Subjects: classificationCode: 41
subject: Environmental sciences

description: Carbon Emission Statements apply financial accounting principles to carbon accounting, using double-entry bookkeeping to track emissions. This system includes a CE balance sheet and flow statement, detailing emissions in goods sold (CEGS). Companies account for direct and indirect emissions, ensuring transparency and credibility in net-zero pledges. The method enhances corporate responsibility, prevents greenwashing, and integrates seamlessly with existing enterprise accounting systems for effective carbon management.

description: In dem Beitrag wird untersucht, inwieweit die semantischen Ansätze der modernen Wissenschaftstheorie in Bezug auf die Struktur wissenschaftlicher Theorien für die theoretische und empirische Arbeit in den Sozialwissenschaften eine metatheoretische Relevanz besitzen. Bezugnehmend auf die Vorschläge von Kevin A. Clarke und David M. Primo, den modelltheoretischen Ansatz für eine Modernisierung der empirischen Politikwissenschaft heranzuziehen, werden folgende Punkte diskutiert: (1) Warum ist der syntaktische Ansatz in der Strukturauffassung wissenschaftlicher Theorien als gescheitert anzusehen und welche Alternativen bieten die semantischen Ansätze? (2) Was wird in diesen Ansätzen unter Modellen verstanden und in welchen Repräsentationsrelationen stehen sie zu empirischen Phänomenen? Es wird gezeigt, dass von den semantischen Ansätzen nur der Ansatz von Ronald Giere und dezidiert der strukturalistische Ansatz für eine metatheoretische Neuorientierung in den Sozialwissenschaften geeignet sind. Daraus folgende Konsequenzen für die theoretische und empirische Forschung in den Sozialwissenschaften beschließen den Beitrag.

description: Der Beitrag prüft die Prämissen der Konzipierung der Soziologie als multiparadigmatische Wissenschaft. Er zeigt, dass Kuhns Position auf einer emergentistischen Evolutionstheorie basiert, die einen romantischen Pluralismus inkommensurabler Theorien erzeugt. Er zeigt weiter, dass diese Position weder philosophisch noch empirisch haltbar ist, sodass sich ihre Gegenposition empfiehlt: d.h. die Vereinheitlichung der Wissenschaft durch Theoriereduktion.

description: Während Ernst Cassirer innerhalb der Kulturwissenschaften derzeit eine regelrechte Renaissance erlebt, ist er in der Soziologie noch immer ein kaum diskutierter Autor. Mithilfe einer soziologischen Relektüre der cassirerschen Symbolphilosophie lässt sich eine entscheidende Transformation des Sinnbegriffs herausarbeiten. Wie kaum ein anderer Philosoph hat Cassirer auf den operativen und praktischen Aspekt von Sinnbildung abgestellt. Welche Konsequenzen sich hieraus für soziologische Fragestellungen ergeben und inwiefern Cassirers Philosophie der symbolischen Formen vor diesem Hintergrund zu einer Soziologie der symbolischen Formen ausgearbeitet werden müsste, versucht dieser Beitrag anzudeuten.

description: Racing pigeons are exposed to and act as carriers of diseases. Dietary protein requirement for their maintenance has not been determined experimentally despite their being domesticated for over 7000 years. A maintenance nitrogen (protein) requirement (MNR) for pigeons was determined in a balance study using diets containing 6, 10 and 14% crude protein (CP). Then, the effects of feeding the diets were investigated to determine whether they were adequate to sustain innate and acquired immune functions. Nitrogen intake from the 6% CP diet was sufficient to maintain nitrogen balance and body weight in pigeons. However, the immune functions of phagocytosis, oxidative burst and lymphocyte proliferation in pigeons fed this diet were reduced compared with those fed 10 and 14% CP diets. Pigeons given the 6 and 10% CP diets had lower antibody titres following inoculation against Newcastle disease (ND) than those on the 14% CP diet. A confounding factor found on autopsy was the presence of intestinal parasites in some of the pigeons given the 6 and 10% CP diets; however, none of the pigeons used to measure MNR or acquired immunity to ND were infested with parasites. In conclusion, neither the 6 nor 10% CP diets adequately sustained acquired immune function of pigeons.

description: Common Reed (Phragmites australis) is a frequent component of inland and coastal wetlands in temperate zones worldwide. Ongoing environmental changes have resulted in the decline of this species in many areas and invasive expansion in others. In the Gippsland Lakes coastal waterway system in south-eastern Australia, increasing salinity is thought to have contributed to the loss of fringingP. australis reed beds leading to increased shoreline erosion. A major goal of restoration in this waterway is to address the effect of salinity by planting a genetically diverse range of salt-tolerant P. australis plants. This has prompted an interest in examining the variation in salinity tolerance among clones and the underlying basis of this variation. Transcriptomics is an approach for identifying variation in genes and their expression levels associated with the exposure of plants to environmental stressors. In this paper we present initial results of the first comparative culm transcriptome analysis of P. australis clones. After sampling plants from sites of varied surface water salinity across the Gippsland Lakes, replicates from three clones from highly saline sites (>18 g L-1 TDS) and three from low salinity sites (<6 g L-1) were grown in containers irrigated with either fresh (<0.1 g L-1) or saline water (16 g L-1). An RNA-Seq protocol was used to generate sequence data from culm tissues from the 12 samples allowing an analysis of differential gene expression. Among the key findings, we identified several genes uniquely up- or down-regulated in clones from highly saline sites when irrigated with saline water relative to clones from low salinity sites. These included the higher relative expression levels of genes associated with photosynthesis and lignan biosynthesis indicative of a greater ability of these clones to maintain growth under saline conditions. Combined with growth data from a parallel study, our data suggests local adaptation of certain clones to salinity and provides a basis for more detailed studies.

description: This report presents the impact monitoring strategy of the HSbooster.eu project and the first impacts already achieved in the first year of the project. HSbooster.eu. offers expert services to European projects in order to help them increase and valorise project outcomes by contributing to the development or revision of standards. By using standards and contributing to standardisation, European R&I projects can increase their impact, gain market access, and support the European green and digital agenda.

The aim of this report is to demonstrate the impact of the project on the standards community both internally and externally. The first year has been one of development and engagement. Developing the services and the procedures and platform behind them to ensure that they run smoothly and efficiently as any broad-reaching European booster service needs to do. The consortium’s knowledge of and expertise in the standardisation field has been crucial to understand the needs of the project community and also of how the standardisation community can contribute. Similarly, the experience the consortium has of designing and delivering the machine behind a booster service has also been key to building relationships and a sustainable platform to support this.

description: In this work, the hydrodenitrogenation (HDN) of a primary amine (dodecylamine), a secondary amine (didodecylamine), and a tertiary amine (tridodecylamine) over a Pt/ZrO₂ catalyst was compared in a batch reactor. The main product of the amine hydrotreating was dodecane, but significant amounts of secondary amine were also formed as an intermediate during HDN of the primary and the tertiary amine. It was found that the primary amine is the only species for which direct HDN is possible; HDN of the secondary amine thus proceeds through a primary amine intermediate and HDN of the tertiary amine involves formation of the secondary amine, which decomposes to the primary amine. Consequently, HDN of the tertiary and secondary amines is slower than that of the primary amine. Kinetic modeling indicated that bimolecular condensation reactions of the primary amine, as well as potentially of the primary amine and the secondary amine, have a significant effect on the HDN process. Formation of the secondary amine from the primary amine increases the initial conversion and nitrogen removal rate but appeared to slow down the overall rate of nitrogen removal. The results thus demonstrate how condensation reactions affect amine HDN, which has implications for catalyst design for HDN of renewable feeds containing aliphatic amines.

description: Clinical evidence indicates that serotonin-1A receptor (5-HT1AR) gene polymorphisms are associated with anxiety disorders and deficits in cognition. In animal models, exercise (Ex) and environmental enrichment (EE) can change emotionality-related behaviours, as well as enhance some aspects of cognition and hippocampal neurogenesis. We investigated the effects of Ex and EE (which does not include running wheels) on cognition and anxiety-like behaviours in wild-type (WT) and 5-HT1AR knock-out (KO) mice. Using an algorithm-based classification of search strategies in the Morris water maze, we report for we believe the first time that Ex increased the odds for mice to select more hippocampal-dependent strategies. In the retention probe test, Ex (but not EE) corrected long-term spatial memory deficits displayed by KO mice. In agreement with these findings, only Ex increased hippocampal cell survival and BDNF protein levels. However, only EE (but not Ex) modified anxiety-like behaviours, demonstrating dissociation between improvements in cognition and innate anxiety. EE enhanced hippocampal cell proliferation in WT mice only, suggesting a crucial role for intact serotonergic signalling in mediating this effect. Together, these results demonstrate differential effects of Ex vs EE in a mouse model of anxiety with cognitive impairment. Overall, the 5-HT1AR does not seem to be critical for those behavioural effects to occur. These findings will have implications for our understanding of how Ex and EE enhance experience-dependent plasticity, as well as their differential impacts on anxiety and cognition.

description: Hat die Soziologie tatsächlich eine »vitale Streitkultur«, wie ihr etwa von Georg Kneer und Stephan Moebius attestiert wird? Die multiparadigmatische Theorienlandschaft wird oft mit der Konkurrenz auf wirtschaftlichen Märkten verglichen – was stimmt, aber anders, als es gemeint ist. Bei genauerem Hinsehen zeigt sich, dass Unternehmen bemüht sind, der Konkurrenz untereinander möglichst auszuweichen, und dies vor allem durch Markenbildung tun. Genau das Gleiche lässt sich für die Theorienkonkurrenz der Soziologie aufzeigen; und so wie sich die Unternehmen den postulierten positiven Effekten der Marktkonkurrenz subversiv entziehen, dürfte auch die Streitkultur der Soziologie nicht viel zu einem kumulativen Erkenntnisfortschritt beitragen.

description: In agricultural regions worldwide, linear networks of vegetation such as hedges, fencerows and live fences provide habitat for plant and animal species in heavily modified landscapes. In Australia, networks of remnant native vegetation along roadsides are a distinctive feature of many rural landscapes. Here, we investigated the richness and composition of woodland-dependent bird communities in networks of eucalypt woodland vegetation along roadsides, in an agricultural region in which >80% of native woodland and forest vegetation has been cleared. We stratified sites in a) cross sections and b) linear strips of roadside vegetation, to test the influence on woodland birds of site location and configuration in the linear network (the 'intersection effect'). We also examined the influence of tree size at the site, the amount of wooded vegetation surrounding the site, and the abundance of an aggressive native species, the noisy miner Manorina melanocephala. Birds were surveyed at 26 pairs of sites (cross section or linear strip) on four occasions. A total of 66 species was recorded, including 35 woodland species. The richness of woodland bird species was influenced by site configuration, with more species present at cross sections, particularly those with larger trees (>30 cm diameter). However, the strongest influence on species richness was the relative abundance of the noisy miner. The richness of woodland birds at sites where noisy miners were abundant was ∼20% of that where miners were absent. These results recognise the value of networks of roadside vegetation as habitat for woodland birds in depleted agricultural landscapes; but highlight that this value is not realised for much of this vast vegetation network because of the dominance of the noisy miner. Nevertheless, roadside vegetation is particularly important where the configuration of networks create nodes that facilitate movement. Globally, the protection, conservation and restoration of such linear networks has an important influence on the persistence of biota within human-dominated landscapes.

description: During apoptosis, Bak and Bax are activated by BH3-only proteins binding to the α2-α5 hydrophobic groove; Bax is also activated via a rear pocket. Here we report that antibodies can directly activate Bak and mitochondrial Bax by binding to the α1-α2 loop. A monoclonal antibody (clone 7D10) binds close to α1 in non-activated Bak to induce conformational change, oligomerization, and cytochrome c release. Anti-FLAG antibodies also activate Bak containing a FLAG epitope close to α1. An antibody (clone 3C10) to the Bax α1-α2 loop activates mitochondrial Bax, but blocks translocation of cytosolic Bax. Tethers within Bak show that 7D10 binding directly extricates α1; a structural model of the 7D10 Fab bound to Bak reveals the formation of a cavity under α1. Our identification of the α1-α2 loop as an activation site in Bak paves the way to develop intrabodies or small molecules that directly and selectively regulate these proteins.

description: In this work, we have investigated the relationships between surface stability, electronic structure and O₂ evolution reaction (OER) activity for epitaxial thin film La₁₋ₓSrₓFeO₃ (x = 0, 0.33, 0.8) model electrocatalysts before and after different electrochemical treatments. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) between +1.22 V and +1.92 V vs. RHE results in the continuous enhancement of OER performance of LaFeO3, while for La₀.₆₇Sr₀.₃₃FeO₃ and La₀.₂Sr₀.₈FeO₃ a gradual decrease of OER performance with increasing number of CV cycles was observed. A combination of atomic force microscopy, X-ray diffraction and X-ray reflectivity reveals that the surfaces of La₁₋ₓSrₓFeO₃ (x = 0, 0.33, 0.8) undergo surface morphology changes during OER treatment. Synchrotron ex situ X-ray photoemission spectroscopy data show a gradual down-shift of the Fermi level (EF) of LaFeO₃ with increasing number of CV cycles, while near edge X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy (NEXAFS) at the Fe L-edge and O K-edge shows the presence of surface Fe⁴⁺ species as well as new hole states near the conduction band minimum upon electrochemical treatment, leading to a further enhancement of the electrochemical activity of LaFeO₃. The newly formed hole state in LaFeO₃ that appeared after 3 CV cycles remained constant upon progressing OER treatment. On the contrary, the decrease of OER performance of La₀.₆₇Sr₀.₃₃FeO₃ and La₀.₂Sr₀.₈FeO₃ with increasing CV cycles is attributed to an up-shift of EF along with a decrease of Fe4+ and hole state content after OER treatment. Furthermore, we found that the stability of the OER performance of La₁₋ₓSrₓFeO₃ is closely related to the leaching of Sr during OER, and the stability deteriorates with increasing Sr doping concentration in the pristine samples.

Ihn charakterisiert die Suche nach einer allgemeinen Handlungstheorie bzw. universal gültigen Handlungsgesetzen. Demgegenüber favorisiert der methodologische Holismus die Suche nach Handlungstheorien mittlerer Reichweite und kann wissenschaftstheoretisch mit neu entwickelten Erklärungskonzeptionen für die »special sciences« verbunden werden.

Von der Liebe zur Theorie. 40 Jahre nach Habermas’ und Luhmanns Kontroverse: Theorie der Gesellschaft oder Theorie der Systeme?
Creators: name: Koenen, Elmar
Publisher: name: Zeitschrift für Theoretische Soziologie
Year: 2012

description: Der Beitrag erinnert an eine Kontroverse zwischen Jürgen Habermas und Niklas Luhmann, die sie 1971 als Diskussionsband unter dem Titel »Theorie der Gesellschaft oder Sozialtechnologie « veröffentlicht haben. Der Band repräsentiert den Höhe- und vorläufigen Schlusspunkt einer gesellschaftstheoretischen Diskussion, die sich bis zum Werturteils- und Positivismusstreit zurückverfolgen lässt. Nach einigen Rekonstruktionen zur Begegnung von Habermas und Luhmann und zur Vorgeschichte des Bandes, resümiert der Hauptteil des Texts die Abfolge der Diskussionsbeiträge der beiden Theoretiker. Er schließt mit der Darstellung einiger Folgen, die diese Konfrontation von Kritischer Theorie und Systemtheorie ausgelöst hat.

Diskursanalyse vs. (Hermeneutische) Wissenssoziologie?
Creators: name: Keller, Reiner
Publisher: name: Zeitschrift für Theoretische Soziologie
Year: 2012

description: Bis heute ist im deutschsprachigen Raum das Verhältnis des Werkes von Michel Foucault zur Soziologie umstritten – obwohl er längst vielfach als soziologischer Klassiker behandelt wird. Kontrovers wird insbesondere diskutiert, wie sich seine Perspektive einer ›interpretativen Analytik‹ und Analyse diskursiver Formationen zu soziologischen Positionen verhält, die an hermeneutische, phänomenologische und wissenssoziologische Traditionen anschließen. Der Beitrag greift vor dem Hintergrund sozialwissenschaftlicher Diskursforschung zentrale Punkte dieser Diskussion heraus und macht deutlich, dass die vermeintlichen ›Gegensätze‹ sich dann relativieren lassen oder gar verschwinden, wenn die zeitgenössischen Bezugnahmen und Abgrenzungen Foucaults, die sich auf den philosophischen Kontext seiner Zeit richteten, einerseits, die Unterschiedlichkeit soziologischer Paradigmen andererseits eine genauere Berücksichtigung erfahren, als dies üblicherweise geschieht.

description: Anxiety disorders are common, debilitating, and begin early in life. Early intervention to prevent anxiety disorders in children who are at risk could have long-term impact. The 'Cool Little Kids' parenting group program has previously been shown to be efficacious in preventing anxiety disorders in temperamentally inhibited young children. Wider dissemination of the program could be achieved with an internet-based delivery platform, affording greater accessibility and convenience for parents. The aim of this study was to evaluate 'Cool Little Kids Online', a newly developed online version of the existing parenting group program. Fifty-one parents of children aged 3-6 years were recruited to evaluate the online program's acceptability and preliminary efficacy in reducing inhibited young children's anxiety problems. Parents were randomized to receive either a clinician-supported version or an unsupported version of the program. Parents had 10 weeks to access the program and completed questionnaires at baseline and post-intervention. Both groups showed medium-to-large reductions in children's anxiety symptoms, emotional symptoms, number of child anxiety diagnoses, and improvements in life interference from anxiety. The effect of clinician support was inconsistent and difficult to interpret. Parents reported high levels of satisfaction with the program. These encouraging results indicate that the online version is acceptable and useful for parents with temperamentally inhibited young children. Cool Little Kids Online may be a promising direction for improving access to an evidence-based prevention and early intervention program for child anxiety problems. A large randomized trial is warranted to further evaluate efficacy.
Soziale Aggregationen als Erklärungsproblem

description: Die Erfassung und kausale Erklärung der (Re-)Produktion und des Wandels sozialer Aggregationen wie Freundschaften, Gesellschaften, Organisationen usw. gilt in den Sozialwissenschaften nach wie vor als schwierig. Das liegt wesentlich auch daran, dass der Vorgang der »Produktion des Sozialen« nur unzureichend in den Blick genommen wird. Im Aufsatz wird ein Vorschlag skizziert, wie dieses Problem konzeptuell zu bewältigen ist.

description: Aims and objectives. The objectives of this systematic review were to determine the most effective tools for the assessment and diagnosis of sleep problems, as well as identify the most effective strategies for the promotion of sleep within this population. Background. Experiencing reduced sleep quality is often associated with normal ageing, however this may be exacerbated for residents of aged care facilities. External factors such as noise, light and night-time nursing may impact negatively upon sleeping patterns. Methods. Eleven electronic databases and the reference lists and bibliographies of included studies were searched. Papers were grouped according to type of intervention or assessment tool and presented in a narrative summary. Conclusions. The review identified many interventions to promote sleep. Multidisciplinary strategies such as combining a reduction in environmental noise, reduction of night-time nursing care and promotion of daytime activity, are likely to be most effective for promoting sleep in the population of interest. The use of sedating medications is cautioned, as their long-term efficacy in promoting sleep is questionable. Wrist actigraphy was found to be the most accurate objective sleep assessment tool. Relevance to clinical practice. Lack of sleep, disturbed sleep and the overuse of medications especially sedations reduce the quality of life for older people. Effective, safe sleep interventions should be promoted and practised by nurses. © 2006 Blackwell Publishing Ltd.
Der lange Schatten der soziologischen Klassiker
Creators: name: Schwinn, Thomas

description: In der Globalisierungsliteratur der letzten Jahrzehnte brechen viele theoretische Probleme und Kontroversen (wieder) auf, die für unser Fach charakteristisch sind: die methodologische Frage von Evolutionismus versus historische Vergleichsstrategien (I); die grundlagentheoretische Frage von Systemtheorie versus Akteur-Struktur-Theorie (II) und schließlich die theoretisch-konzeptionelle Frage des Verhältnisses von strukturellen und kulturellen Faktoren (III). Die Sichtweisen und Einschätzungen des Globalisierungsprozesses variieren in Abhängigkeit davon, wie in Bezug auf diese kontroversen Positionen optiert wird. In den Auseinandersetzungen wird zugleich ein Grundthema aller bisherigen Großtheorien der Soziologie neu verhandelt: die Bestimmung der Moderne. Viele Arbeiten zur Globalisierung stehen dabei im langen Schatten der Klassiker, da sie deren Annahmen zur weiteren Entwicklung unserer Epoche übernehmen. Zugleich sind aber alternative Sichtweisen erkennbar.

Von prozeduraler Kritik zu prozeduraler Praxis: Öffentliche Soziologie als Transformation kritischer Theorie
Creators: name: Greve, Jens
Publisher: name: Zeitschrift für Theoretische Soziologie
Year: 2012

description: Öffentliche Soziologie – so die hier vertretene These – lässt sich als praktische Wendung der Transformation kritischer Theorie verstehen. Wie diese an die Stelle substantieller Kritik eine prozedurale Kritik setzt, so verlagert Burawoy die Begründung von wertenden Stellungnahmen in den öffentlichen Diskurs. Während er sich damit im Hinblick auf die Werturteilsfreiheitsdebatte einerseits auf Webers Seite stellt, weil der Wissenschaft mit ihren ›internen‹ Ressourcen keine hinreichende Begründung wertender Stellungnahmen zukommen kann, widerspricht er Weber gleichwohl an dem Punkt, dass die Bestimmung und Verfolgung politischer Zwecke Teil der Wissenschaft sein soll. Diese Positionierung wird – so wird gezeigt – durch zwei zentrale Defizite des Projekts einer öffentlichen Soziologie möglich: Zum einen dadurch, dass Burawoy über die Grenzen der kritischen Vernunft keine Rechenschaft ablegt. Würde er dies tun, so würde sichtbar, dass der Soziologie über ihr instrumentelles Wissen hinaus keine besondere Qualifikation in ethisch-politischer Hinsicht zukommt. Zweitens wird das Problem des Wertepluralismus durch eine problematische funktionalistische Annahme verdeckt, nämlich dass die öffentliche Soziologie nicht nur spezifische Interessen vertritt, sondern das Interesse des Allgemeinen.

description: Worldwide, large quantities of solid waste are generated by construction and demolition (C&D) activities and the car industry. At the same time, the availability of landfill space is diminishing, and most industrialized nations are actively promoting recycling procedures to reduce the amount of waste going to landfill. Governments have also set up regulatory bodies to provide standards and protocols for these procedures. Environmental benefits and reduced concrete production costs are some of the advantages of using recycled materials. Given these worldwide trends, it is essential to consider recycling some of the solid waste from the construction industry and used tires from the car industry to supplement natural aggregates in the production of concrete for the construction industry. This papers discusses the on-going research at La Trobe University on the use of recycled aggregates such as crushed concrete, crushed brick and rubber chips in the production of concrete. The effects of partial or total replacement of normal-weight aggregates with recycled aggregates on the strength of concrete were investigated. Different types and proportions of aggregate replacements were studied to establish which protocols provided the best options. It was found that concrete mixes produced with recycled aggregates produced acceptable concrete with reduced production costs.
