Purpose-Driven Organizations: Steuerung von Unternehmen über Purpose statt über Profit und die Auswirkungen auf den unternehmerischen Erfolg
Creators: name: Sackmann, Sonia
Publisher: name: Hochschule Bremen
Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: Purpose-Driven Organizations
subject: 330

description: Die vorliegende Bachelorthesis verfolgt das Ziel, zu erforschen, inwiefern sich die Implementierung von Purpose auf den langfristigen Unternehmenserfolg auswirkt. Ein Purpose (Unternehmenszweck) definiert, wofür eine Organisation steht und beschreibt, wie ein Unternehmen einen nachhaltigen und positiven Beitrag zur wertstiftenden Koexistenz von Wirtschaft, Gesellschaft und Umwelt leistet. Im Kontext dieser Bachelorarbeit bezieht sich das Wort langfristig auf eine Dauer von drei bis fünf Jahren, während sich Erfolg als generelles positives Ergebnis unternehmerischen Handelns definiert, ausgedrückt in monetären Größen. Es wird sich dabei auf Unternehmen im europäischen und nordamerikanischen Raum bezogen. Insbesondere für den asiatischen Raum ergäben sich durch grundlegende kulturelle Unterschiede im beruflichen Alltag und wirtschaftlichen Handeln gegebenenfalls abweichende Erkenntnisse. Daher wird die Forschungsfrage analysiert: „Inwiefern wirkt sich die Implementierung von Purpose in der Unternehmenskultur auf den langfristigen Erfolg dieser Unternehmen aus?“

description: Abstract Background Therapeutic intervention in the pathophysiology of airway mucus hypersecretion is clinically important. Several types of drugs are available with different possible modes of action. We examined the effects of guaifenesin (GGE), N-acetylcysteine (NAC) and ambroxol (Amb) on differentiated human airway epithelial cells stimulated with IL-13 to produce additional MUC5AC. Methods After IL-13 pre-treatment (3 days), the cultures were treated with GGE, NAC or Amb (10–300 μM) in the continued presence of IL-13. Cellular and secreted MUC5AC, mucociliary transport rates (MTR), mucus rheology at several time points, and the antioxidant capacity of the drugs were assessed. Results IL-13 increased MUC5AC content (~25%) and secretion (~2-fold) and decreased MTR, but only slightly affected the G’ (elastic) or G” (viscous) moduli of the secretions. GGE significantly inhibited MUC5AC secretion and content in the IL-13-treated cells in a concentration-dependent manner (IC50s at 24 hr ~100 and 150 μM, respectively). NAC or Amb were less effective. All drugs increased MTR and decreased G’ and G” relative to IL-13 alone. Cell viability was not affected and only NAC exhibited antioxidant capacity. Conclusions Thus, GGE effectively reduces cellular content and secretion of MUC5AC, increases MTR, and alters mucus rheology, and may therefore be useful in treating airway mucus hypersecretion and mucostasis in airway diseases.

description: It is well known that in noncentral heavy-ion collisions a transient strong magnetic field is generated in the direction perpendicular to the reaction plane. The maximal strength of this field is estimated to be $eB \sim m^2_π \sim 0.02 \text{GeV}^2$ at the RHIC and $eB \sim 15 m^2_π \sim 0.3 \text{GeV}^2$ at the LHC. We investigate the effects of a strong magnetic field on $B$ and $D$ mesons, focusing on the changes of the energy levels and the masses of the bound states. Using the Color Evaporation Model we discuss the possible changes in the production of $J/ψ$ and $Υ$.

description: A holographic correspondence has been recently developed between higher spin theories in three-dimensional anti-de Sitter space (AdS_3) and two-dimensional Conformal Field Theories (CFTs) with extended symmetries. A class of such dualities involves SL(N,R)\times SL(N,R) Chern-Simons gauge theories in the (2+1)-dimensional bulk spacetime, and CFTs with W_N symmetry algebras on the (1+1)-dimensional boundary. The topological character of the Chern-Simons theory forces one to reconsider standard geometric notions such as black hole horizons and entropy, as well as the usual holographic dictionary. Motivated by this challenge, in this note we present a proposal to compute entanglement entropy in the W_N CFTs via holographic methods. In particular, we introduce a functional constructed from Wilson lines in the bulk Chern-Simons theory that captures the entanglement entropy in the CFTs dual to standard AdS_3 gravity, corresponding to SL(2,R)\times SL(2,R) gauge group, and admits an immediate generalization to the higher spin case. We explicitly evaluate this functional for several known solutions of the Chern-Simons theory, including charged black holes dual to thermal CFT states carrying higher spin charge, and show that it reproduces expected features of entanglement entropy, study whether it obeys strong subadditivity, and moreover show that it reduces to the thermal entropy in the appropriate limit.

description: We study evolution equations for electric and magnetic field amplitudes in a ring cavity with plane mirrors. The cavity is filled with a positive or negative refraction index material with third order effective electric and magnetic non-linearities. Two coupled non-linear equations for the electric and magnetic amplitudes are obtained. We prove that the description can be reduced to one Lugiato Lefever equation with generalized coefficients. A stability analysis of the homogeneous solution, complemented with numerical integration, shows that any combination of the parameters should correspond to one of three characteristic behaviors.

description: This work is devoted to investigation of low frequency variations in Polar motion (PM). It has been shown that the main PM features can be effectively investigated using not only time series of the Pole coordinates, but also using series of latitude variations obtained from observations at one observatory. Such an approach allows us to increase the length of observation series available for analysis. In our study, we extended the IERS PM series back to 1840. We investigate trends and (quasi) harmonic oscilla-tions with periods from one year to decades. The main results were obtained making use of the Singular Spectrum Analysis. Other methods were also used for specific analysis and independent check. The most interesting results are detection of two new large phase jumps in the 1840s and 2000s, and revealing of 80-year period in the PM variations.

description: This thesis tests the novel concept of business models for sustainability (BMfS) for its practicability. The ever more present longing towards sustainable development is calling for all relevant actors, governments, people and businesses, to do their part. For businesses, a novel approach has recently been discussed in management literature: business models for sustainability (BMfS). As bridges between theory and practice are still few in number, Patagonia, a company that is widely recognized as highly sustainability-oriented, is analyzed to test whether the BMfS-concept applies and to identify how BMfS are implemented. The research finds that Patagonia is a valid example of a company that exhibits the fundamental qualities of BMfS and features multiple BMfS archetypes.

From the periodicity along the streamwise direction, the flow region is reduced to a rectangular unit cell containing one bubble, which is conformally mapped to an annulus in an auxiliary complex plane. Analytic expressions for the bubble shape as well as for the velocity field are obtained in terms of the generalized Schwarz-Christoffel formula for doubly connected domains.

description: Archaeological excavations play a major role in gaining knowledge about prehistoric landscapes and ways of living. However, archaeological excavations are destructive acts and very resource intensive, so they cannot be performed in every area of interest. Therefore prospection methods have been developed, where feedbacks of e.g. lidar, radar or magnetic sensors are utilized to get an overview of the distribution, extent and complexity of underground structures in larger areas. After automated pre-processing of the sensor data arrays (and images) of these, grid data is provided as an input for exploration, analysis and annotation using geographic information system tools like QGIS. Annotating the images has been a fully manual task, performed by domain scientists.
In this work we demonstrate a tool that supports domain scientists through automated annotation prediction. The implementation is integrated in the prevalent scientific workflow using available input and required output formats. The implementation is based on a pre-trained Rotated Retina Net. The manually annotated data of underground house remains from one of three archaeological sites is then used to pre-process and augment a feasible amount of training data for this specific task. One challenge was that global normalization of pixel values in the images did not yield useful results, because of modern infrastructure (such as utility pipes) distorting the magnetic feedback. A separated portion of the annotated data has been used for a quantitative evaluation of model performance. The system has also been applied to two additional, formerly unseen and non-annotated datasets where predicted annotations were found to be valuable for domain scientists. The system's output data can be used in GIS tools to edit annotations by experts, explore the sites, identify promising excavation sites and perform e.g. cluster analysis on house sizes and other features.

The key enzyme of the subsequent decarboxylation and C-C bond forming reaction, pyruvate decarboxylase (PDC), was examined for its substrate- and stereo-specific-ity. A wide variety of saturated and unsaturated aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes was successfully converted to acyloins. 19 of the biotransformation products identified had not been reported as natural substances before. Product yields were strongly affected by substrate structure. © 2000, Verlag der Zeitschrift für Naturforschung. All rights reserved.

description: Die vorliegende Masterarbeit fragt nach den Verhältnissetzungen von Frauen* zu den an sie herangetragenen Schönheitsidealen sowie nach der Bildungsrelevanz dessen. Dafür wird eine Denkweise des Körpers angelegt, die den Körper einerseits als performativ gewordene Materie versteht. Die beständige Wiederholung von Schönheitsidealen wie Jugendlichkeit, Schlankheit, Authentizität und Fitness stellen solchermaßen erst den schönen oder hässlichen Körper her. Andererseits werden diskursive Körperbilder biografisch-eigensinnig angeeignet und interpretiert. Mit einer Perspektive auf Subjektivierungsprozesse kommen die Frauen* als handlungsmächtige Akteur_innen im Diskurs in den Blick, die sich mit den Körperbildern (wenn auch nur selten in einem bewussten Prozess) identifizieren können, aber auch die Möglichkeit haben, Körpernormen resignifizierend zu wiederholen. Auf solche biografisch situierten Verhältnissetzungen hin wurden zwei Körperbiografien untersucht. Dabei zeigte sich auf erzählter Ebene, dass die befragten Frauen* aufgrund ihres Körpers als (noch) nicht normschön und als nicht urteilsfähig positioniert werden. Sie reagieren nicht sprachlich auf diese Anrufungen oder zeigen schmerzliche Identifikationen mit diesen. Auf der Erzählebene drücken sie dahingegen in der Art, wie sie die Szenen sprachlich hervorbringen, ihre Ablehnung gegenüber dem Body Shaming aus. Zwischen erzählter Ebene und Erzählen findet demnach eine Transformation des Selbstverhältnisses zu Körpernormierungen statt. Dabei werden auch die in den Anrufungen enthaltenden Normen nicht ordnungsgemäß erzählt, sondern ihr schmerzlicher oder übergriffiger Charakter dargestellt. Diese Resignifizierungen und prozessierenden Verhältnissetzungen können als Bildungsmoment rekonstruiert werden. Damit wird eine Möglichkeit eröffnet, Körpernormierung(en) als Kontexte für die Subjekt-Bildung zu lesen und damit Körperlichkeit und Bildung zusammen zu denken.

description: Abstract Background Rho family GTPase regulation of the actin cytoskeleton governs a variety of cell responses. In this report, we have analyzed the role of the GTPase Rho in maintenance of the T lymphocyte actin cytoskeleton. Results Inactivation of the GTPase Rho in the human T lymphocytic cell line HPB-ALL does not inhibit constitutively high adhesion to the integrin β1 substrate fibronectin. It did however result in the aberrant extension of finger-like dendritic processes on the substrates VCAM-1, Fn, and mAb specific to β1 integrins. Time-lapse video microscopy demonstrated that C3 induced extensions were primarily the result of an altered pseudopod elongation rather than retraction. Once the stellate pseudopodia extended, none retracted, and cells became completely immobile. Filipodial structures were absent and the dendritic-like processes in C3 treated cells were rich in filamentous actin. Immunolocalization of RhoA in untreated HPB-ALL cells spreading on fibronectin demonstrated a diffuse staining pattern within the pseudopodia. In C3 treated cells, clusters of RhoA were pronounced and localized within the altered extensions. Conclusions GTPase Rho is actively involved in the regulation of T lymphocyte morphology and motility.

description: Abstract Background Influenza is a common and serious public health problem among the elderly. The influenza vaccine is safe and effective. Methods The purpose of the study was to determine whether frequencies of receipt vary by race, age group, gender, and time (progress from 1995/1996 to 2000), and whether any racial differences remain in age groups covered by Medicare. Subjects were selected from the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) (12,652 Americans 50–61 years of age (1992–2000)) and the Asset and Health Dynamics Among the Oldest Old (AHEAD) survey (8,124 community-dwelling seniors aged 70+ years (1993–2000)). Using multivariate logistic regression, adjusting for potential confounders, we estimated the relationship between race, age group, gender, time and the main outcome measure, receipt of influenza vaccination in the last 2 years. Results There has been a clear increase in the unadjusted rates of receipt of influenza vaccination for all groups from 1995/1996 to 2000. However, the proportions immunized are 10–20% higher among White than among Black elderly, with no obvious narrowing of the racial gap from 1995/1996 to 2000. There is an increase in rates from age 50 to age 65. After age 70, the rate appears to plateau. In multivariate analyses, the racial difference remains after adjusting for a series of socioeconomic, health, and health care related variables. (HRS: OR = 0.63 (0.55–0.72), AHEAD: OR = 0.55 (0.44–0.66)) Conclusions There is much work left if the Healthy People 2010 goal of 90% of the elderly immunized against influenza annually is to be achieved. Close coordination between public health programs and clinical prevention efforts in primary care is necessary, but to be truly effective, these services must be culturally appropriate.

description: This paper concerns the analysis and implementation of a novel iterative staggered scheme for quasi-static brittle fracture propagation models, where the fracture evolution is tracked by a phase field variable. The model we consider is a two-field variational inequality system, with the phase field function and the elastic displacements of the solid material as independent variables. Using a penalization strategy, this variational inequality system is transformed into a variational equality system, which is the formulation we take as the starting point for our algorithmic developments. The proposed scheme involves a partitioning of this model into two subproblems; phase field and mechanics, with added stabilization terms to both subproblems for improved efficiency and robustness. We analyze the convergence of the proposed scheme using a fixed point argument, and find that under a natural condition, the elastic mechanical energy remains bounded, and, if the diffusive zone around crack surfaces is sufficiently thick, monotonic convergence is achieved. Finally, the proposed scheme is validated numerically with several bench-mark problems. © 2019 The Authors

description: Abstract
                Background
                Low-income children and parents are at increased risk for developing overweight and obesity. Therefore, the purpose of this exploratory study was to compare whether African American and white children and parents benefitted equally from a community-based weight management intervention delivered in two rural counties in southeastern North Carolina (N.C.).
                Methods
                We compared the efficacy of the Family Partners for Health intervention for African American and white children and their parents by testing the three-way interaction of the intervention group according to visit and race.
                Results
                African American children in the intervention group weighed significantly (P = 0.027) less than those in the control group, while white children in the intervention group weighed less than those in the control group, but the difference did not reach statistical significance. African American and white parents in the intervention group weighed less than their respective control groups across all three data collections, but the difference was only significant in the group of white parents (P = 0.010) at the completion of the study. At the completion of the study, African American children in the intervention group received significantly (P = 0.003) more support for physical activity than African American children in the control group. At both time points, white children in the intervention group were not significantly different from those in the control group. African American parents in the intervention group scored slightly worse in the stress management assessment compared to those in the control group, while white parents in the intervention group showed a significantly (P = 0.041) better level of stress management than those in the control group. At the completion of the study, African American parents in the intervention group scored somewhat worse in emotional eating self-efficacy compared to the scores of the African American parents in the control group, while white parents in the intervention group scored significantly (P < 0.001) better than those in the control group.
                Conclusions
                We were successful in affecting some outcomes in both African American and white children and parents using the same intervention.

description: In einer stetig wachsenden Globalisierung werden immer mehr Grünflächen in der Stadt zugebaut und mit städtischem (urbanem) Chaos gefüllt. Deshalb achten Menschen, die von Natur mit der Welt um sie herum einig sind, darauf, dass ihr Weg zur Arbeit/Schule möglichst angenehm ist (ruhige Umgebung, saubere Luft). Bei der Wahl dieses Weges lassen sich die Menschen entweder von ihren eigenen Beobachtungen oder von den Beobachtungen anderer leiten und haben kein vollständiges Bild von der Stadt um sie herum. Das Ziel dieser Arbeit ist, solchen Menschen zu helfen, den besten Weg zwischen zwei Punkten zu finden, damit sie sich in den Momenten, in denen sie von zu Hause weg sind, wohl fühlen. Darüber hinaus wurde entschieden, die Sammlung von Umweltdaten in Form eines Dienstes zu organisieren, mit dessen Hilfe die gesammelten Daten ausgewertet und ein ökologisches Bild der Stadt erstellt werden konnte. Um das Dienst mit den Daten zu befüllen wurde eine mobile Messstation gebaut, die die Sammlung von den wichtigen Umweltdaten (die Feinstaubbelastung, der Geräuschpegel) ermöglicht. Die Daten werden von der Messstation zum Handy (Android-Anwendung) verschickt, wo sie mit den Metadaten ergänzt und an den Server übermittelt werden. Auf dem Server wurden die Streckenauswertung-Algorithmen entwickelt und eine Weboberfläche gefertigt. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die Daten schnell gesammelt werden können und somit das ökologisches Bild der Stadt erstellt werden kann. Aus diesen Gründen sollen mehrere Messstationen gefertigt und kostenlos an die Benutzer in verschiedenen Stadtteilen verteilt werden, um die Datenbank mit den Daten zu befühlen.

description: The atmospheric gases CO, NH3 , CH2O and C2H6 retrieved by solar absorption FTIR spectrometry during the cruise ANT XX-3 of RV Polarstern are compared to GEOS Chem simulations. The cruise was a meridional transect on the Atlantic. It started on the 25th January 2003 in Cape Town (South Africa) and ended on the 16th February in remerhaven (Germany). During this cruise, the ship crossed a biomass burning plume at about 6° N, resulting in a strong increase of CO, NH3 and CH2O concentrations. For carbon monoxide and ammonia model and measurements agree well at all latitudes. The formaldehyde model simulation is significantly lower than the measurements. After caling with the empirically determined factor 3.7, the results of model and measurements agree well. The ethane’s southern hemispheric total columns agree well with the model, while the northern hemispheric values do not agree.

description: Rügen – eine beliebte Urlaubsinsel kommt an ihre Grenzen. Massentourismus, Umwelt-, Lärmbelastungen oder Verschmutzung sind nur einige Herausforderungen, mit denen die größte Insel Deutschlands zu kämpfen hat. Der einflussreichste Wirtschaftszweig ist die Tourismus-Branche, dazu gehört auch die Hotellerie. Sie ist nach dem Transport zweitgrößter Verursacher von CO2-Emissionen. Hotels können auf die eigene Ressourceneffizienz achten, aber auch auf den Gast vor Ort durch klare Kommunikation bedeutend Einfluss nehmen. Nachhaltig Reisen erfreut sich immer größerer Beliebtheit. Eine Chance für Rügen, um sich auf dem Hotelmarkt zukunftsorientiert zu positionieren. Zum aktuellen Zeitpunkt gibt es kein Hotelkonzept auf der Insel, dass allen Dimensionen der Nachhaltigkeit nachkommt. Ergebnisse einer Sekundäranalyse sowie die Auswertung von Experteninterviews zeigen, dass es neben den bestehenden Herausforderungen bereits viele Ansätze und Möglichkeiten gibt ein Hotelprojekt von Beginn an nachhaltig zu gestalten und umzusetzen. In dieser Arbeit werden anhand von verschiedenen Kategorien Handlungsempfehlungen ausgesprochen, die im Bezug zur Insel stehen. Das finale Hotelkonzept bietet Projektplanern, Hotelbetreibern oder Interessierten einen Überblick über Maßnahmen zur Gestaltung eines Hotels mit Nachhaltigkeitsanspruch.

description: Der Prozess der Globalisierung koreanischer Populärkultur („Hallyu“) hat sich in vielen Regionen der Welt niedergeschlagen und ist zu einem umfassend untersuchten Forschungsgegenstand geworden. Viele Forscher sprechen hierbei besonders den Fans und ihrer Aneignung von „Hallyu“-Gütern eine Rolle im Antrieb dieser Globalisierung zu. Auf Basis dieser Prämisse werden in dieser Arbeit beispielhaft der Bremer Raum und dessen Fans fokussiert, um zu untersuchen, wie sich diese den tänzerischen Aspekt von K-Pop als ein „Hallyu“- Gut aneignen. Wenn es nämlich maßgeblich die Prozesse der Aneignung der Fans sind, die K-Pop weit über die Grenzen Korea‘s hinaustragen, so ist ein Verständnis dieser Prozesse notwendig, um K-Pop Fandoms zu verstehen, die sich in den verschiedensten Regionen der Welt gebildet haben. Hierfür liefert diese Arbeit eine umfassende Momentaufnahme der K-Pop Tanzszene in Bremen, wo es den ersten deutschlandweiten K-Pop Tanzkurs sowie Tanzwettbewerb gab und aktuell mehrere Tanzkurse, Tanzgruppen und eine regelmäßige Tanzveranstaltung existieren. Über qualitative Interviews mit drei K-Pop Fans, die im Bremer Raum ihrem Interesse am K-Pop Tanzen nachgehen, wurden die Aneignung des tänzerischen Aspektes untersucht und die Ergebnisse anschließend ausgewertet. Sie zeigen eine vielfältige Aneignung, die maßgeblich durch einen partizipatorischen Charakter der Tanzszene ausgezeichnet wird. So bringt der tänzerische Aspekt Fans dazu, an Veranstaltungen und Tanzgruppen zu partizipieren und konstituiert in Bremen die maßgebliche Plattform für generelle K-Pop Fans zum Austauschen und Zusammenkommen. Darüber hinaus zeigt sich auch eine alternative Umgehensweise mit Geschlechterrollen. Diese Arbeit dient als Anknüpfungspunkt für zukünftige Forschungen über K-Pop (Tanzen) und „Hallyu“ in Deutschland, da diese bisher im Verhältnis zu Forschungen in anderen Ländern überschaubar und eher allgemein gehalten sind.

description: Abstract
                Background
                Youth mental health has emerged as a pressing global issue. However, to advance research gaps in low-income settings, we need valid measures of common mental health disorders. Using primary data collected in five countries (Kenya, Malawi, Tanzania, Zambia, and Zimbabwe), this study aims to assess the psychometric properties of the commonly used 10-item Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression (CES-D 10) scale among poor, disadvantaged youth populations in sub-Saharan African (SSA).
                Methods
                Youth samples from each country (sample sizes ranging from 651 to 2098) come from large household surveys with youth modules, collected for impact evaluations of cash transfer programs targeted to poor families. For each sample, we assessed internal consistency (alpha), conducted factor analysis, and then examined construct validity and measurement invariance. We performed both exploratory (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to examine and confirm the structure of the CES-D 10 for each country and then used multigroup CFA to assess measurement invariance across gender and age. Multivariate analyses were conducted to assess construct validity via test of the relationship between CES-D 10 and background characteristics.
                Results
                Results show the CES-D 10 had strong psychometric properties and was a reliable measure of depressive symptoms among disadvantaged youth in SSA. Across countries, there was high internal consistency (Cronbach alphas = 0.70–0.76) and the traditional two-factor solution showed good model fit. Full measurement invariance of the CES-D 10 was supported across gender. Consistent with previous literature on risk factors for depressive symptoms, the CES-D 10 was associated with increasing age, and female gender and being out of school in some locations.
                Conclusions
                Results from this study support broad use of the CES-D 10 among poor youth populations in SSA. Between one-third and two-thirds of our samples demonstrated depressive symptoms as classified by recommended cut-offs for the CES-D 10, indicating a high burden of mental illness in disadvantaged youth populations. This tool can be used in future efforts to study prevalence and dynamics of depressive symptoms in this population, as well as effectiveness of policies and interventions to improve the mental health of youth in SSA.

Large critical current density improvement in Bi-2212 wires through groove-rolling process

description: Recently the interest about Bi-2212 round wire superconductor for high magnetic field use has been enhancing despite the fact that an increase of the critical current is still needed to boost its successful use in such applications. Recent studies have demonstrated that the main obstacle to current flow, especially in long wires, is the residual porosity inside these Powder-In-Tube processed conductors which develops in bubbles-agglomeration when the Bi-2212 melts. Through this work we tried to overcome this issue acting on the wire densification by changing the deformation process. Here we show the effects of groove-rolling versus drawing process on the critical current density JC and on the microstructure. In particular, groove-rolled multifilamentary wires show a JC increased by a factor of about 3 with respect to drawn wires prepared with the same Bi-2212 powder and architecture. We think that this approach in the deformation process is able to produce the required improvements both because the superconducting properties are enhanced and because it makes the fabrication process faster and cheaper.
Scaling Properties of a Parallel Implementation of the Multicanonical Algorithm

description: The multicanonical method has been proven powerful for statistical investigations of lattice and off-lattice systems throughout the last two decades. We discuss an intuitive but very efficient parallel implementation of this algorithm and analyze its scaling properties for discrete energy systems, namely the Ising model and the 8-state Potts model. The parallelization relies on independent equilibrium simulations in each iteration with identical weights, merging their statistics in order to obtain estimates for the successive weights. With good care, this allows faster investigations of large systems, because it distributes the time-consuming weight-iteration procedure and allows parallel production runs. We show that the parallel implementation scales very well for the simple Ising model, while the performance of the 8-state Potts model, which exhibits a first-order phase transition, is limited due to emerging barriers and the resulting large integrated autocorrelation times. The quality of estimates in parallel production runs remains of the same order at same statistical cost.
