description: Im Rahmen der vorliegenden Bachelorarbeit wird der Frage nachgegangen, welche Potenziale narrative Videospiele für das literarische Lernen aufweisen. Dazu soll das Point and Click Adventure "Deponia: the complete journey" (Deadalic Entertainment 2014) auf Basis ludologischer sowie narrativistischer Positionen zwischen Spiel und Erzählung verortet und die für die weitere Arbeit relevanten Begriffe geklärt werden. Die darauf aufbauende literaturdidaktische Perspektivierung von Videospielen für den Unterricht bringt die Frage nach dem literarischen Lernen (Maiwald 2022; Boelmann/König 2021; Abraham 2015, Spinner 2006) mit sich, das zunächst dargelegt wird. Als daran anknüpfende literaturdidaktische Instrumente werden die Auswahlkriterien von Gegenwartsliteratur (Pfäfflin 2010) sowie das Bochumer Modell literarischen Verstehens (Boelmann/König 2021) vorgestellt, um sowohl die inhaltlich narrative Qualität sowie die Förderung der Grundkompetenzen im Sinne literarischen Lernens anhand des literarischen Gegenstandes zu erfassen. Das Bochumer Modell literarischen Verstehens (BOLIVE) bietet ein transmedial-narratologisch orientiertes Analyseinstrumentarium, das um medienspezifische Erkenntnisse der Bezugswissenschaften ergänzt wird, um den Anspruch einer „medienbewussten Narratologie“ zu erfüllen. Dieses Analyseinstrumentarium wird in Form einer exemplarischen Analyse von "Deponia: the complete Journey" zur Anwendung gebracht. Die Ergebnisse werden anschließend mithilfe der Auswahlkriterien von Gegenwartsliteratur eingeordnet und überprüft, sowie auf weitere Aspekte literarischer Bildung hin untersucht. Daraus werden exemplarische Zielformulierungen auf Basis der Grundkompetenzen und Niveaustufen des Bochumer Modells entwickelt. Eine Zusammenfassung der relevanten Ergebnisse sowie ein kurzer Ausblick runden die Arbeit ab.

description: An important feature of aid to developing countries is that it is given to the government. As a result aid has the potential to affect budgetary behaviour. Although the (albeit limited) aid-growth literature has addressed the effect of aid on policy, it has tended to neglect the effect of aid on the fiscal behaviour of governments. While fiscal response models have been developed to examine the effects of aid on fiscal aggregates - taxation, expenditure and borrowing - the underlying theory is ad hoc and empirical methods used are subject to severe limitations. This paper applies techniques developed in the "macroeconometrics" literature to estimate the dynamic structural relationship between aid and fiscal aggregates. Using vector autoregressive methods, an impulse response function is estimated to model the effect of aid on fiscal behaviour in Ghana. Results suggest that aid does not have a direct effect on the volume of government spending in Ghana but is treated as a substitute for domestic borrowing. Government spending does rise significantly following aid but this is principally due to an indirect effect arising from higher tax revenue associated with aid inflows. This, aid to Ghana has tended to be associated with reduced domestic borrowing and increased tax effort, combining to increase public spending.

description: In der Arbeit wird Biografie als Ebene subjektiver Wirklichkeit beschrieben, auf welcher das Person-in-Umwelt-Verhältnis narrativ und sinngebend bewältigt und dadurch Handlungsfähigkeit unter spätmodernen Bedingungen hergestellt wird. Die Biografie wird als die Grundlage dargestellt, im Jetzt eine strukturell nur begrenzt gestaltbare Zukunft als eine planbare Zukunft imaginieren zu können. In der Biografie werden hierzu gesellschaftliche Grenzen, kollektive Orientierungen und Sachzwänge derart verinnerlicht, dass diese mittels Sinnzuschreibungen oder Ideologisierung als eigene Entscheidungen und Ziele kommuniziert werden können. In Arbeitsbündnissen der Sozialen Arbeit wechselwirken in solcher Weise beschaffene Bio-grafien der Beteiligten auch durch deren Habitus. Dadurch wirkt das Biografische der Professionellen latent in die Arbeitsbündnisse. Es wird aufgezeigt, inwiefern der Habitus die Professionalisierung begrenzt, jedoch auch zur Ressource transformiert werden kann. Auch professionelles Handeln muss deshalb zunächst habitualisiert werden. In Anlehnung an Fritz Schütze und insbesondere Hiltrud von Spiegel werden Professionalität und Professionalisierungsprozesse in der Sozialen Arbeit analytisch betrachtet. Dabei wird die Frage verfolgt, inwiefern ein Hochschulstudium diese einleiten und begleiten kann. Es werden anhand drei biografisch-narrativer Interviews die Biografien von Bachelorstudierenden der Sozialen Arbeit als Fallstudien aufbereitet. Es wird daran gezeigt, welche biografischen Dispositionen diese Studierenden mit ins Studium gebracht haben und inwiefern sie diese bisher in Ressourcen transformieren und einen professionellen Habitus entwickeln konnten.

description: We discuss the anisotropies of the Hamiltonian and the wave-function in an $S=1/2$ distorted diamond chain. The ground-state phase diagram of this model is investigated using the degenerate perturbation theory up to the first order and the level spectroscopy analysis of the numerical diagonalization data. In some regions of the obtained phase diagram, the anisotropy of the Hamiltonian and that of the wave-function are inverted, which we call inversion phenomenon; the Néel phase appears for the XY-like anisotropy and the spin-fluid phase appears for the Ising-like anisotropy. Three key words are important for this nature, which are frustration, the trimer nature, and the $XXZ$ anisotropy.

description: In the present work amorphous hydrogenated carbon films with sputtered iron nanoparticles (Fe NPs @ a-C:H) were deposited by co-deposition of RF-sputtering and RF-plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition methods using acetylene gas and iron target on quartz and silicon substrates. Samples were prepared in different initial pressures and during constant deposition time. The crystalline structure of Fe NPs @ a-C:H was studied using X-ray diffraction and selected area electron diffraction patterns. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis presents that increasing the initial pressure decreases the atomic ratio of Fe/C and the sp3-hybridized carbon content in prepared samples. The transmission electron microscope image shows the encapsulated Fe NPs in carbon films. The optical properties and localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of samples were studied using UV-visible spectrophotometry, which is shown that increasing of Fe content decreases the intensity of LSPR peak and increases the optical band gap.

description: Die Bachelorarbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Perspektive einer kulturpolitischen Förderung kultureller Teilhabe durch das Implementieren von Entwicklungsprozessen in Kultureinrichtungen. Dabei wird kulturelle Teilhabe im Kontext sozialer Ungleichheiten in Verbindung mit Diversitätsorientierung und Antidiskriminierung gebracht. Strategien zur Förderung kultureller Teilhabe müssen macht- und diskriminierungskritisch konzipiert sein, um innerhalb eines systematischen und kontinuierlichen Entwicklungsprozesses Ausschlüsse von unterrepräsentierten Gruppen in den Organisationsstrukturen von Kultureinrichtungen abbauen zu können. Untersucht wurden die Kultureinrichtungen „Stadtbibliothek Bremen“, „Kunsthalle Bremen“ und „Theater Bremen“, die durch das Programm „360 Grad-Fonds für Kulturen der neuen Stadtgesellschaft“ der Kulturstiftung des Bundes bei der Umsetzung eines diversitätsorientieren Öffnungsprozesses gefördert wurden. Die Entwicklungen der Einrichtungen seit Beginn des Förderzeitraumes 2018 wurden in Expert*inneninterviews erfasst und durch weitere Interviews mit Expert*innen aus dem erweiterten kulturpolitischen Feld weiter kontextualisiert. Die Interviews wurden mithilfe der inhaltlich-strukturierenden qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse ausgewertet. Durch die Analyse der Voraussetzungen, Hindernisse und Erfolgsfaktoren für diversitätsorientierte Öffnungsprozesse entstand ein Prozessmodell für eine teilhaberorientierte Entwicklung der Bremer Kulturszene. Für eine teilhaberorientierte Entwicklung der Bremer Kulturszene wird der Bremer Kulturpolitik empfohlen, diversitätsorientierte Öffnungsprozesse auf Ebene der Kulturverwaltung, der institutionell geförderten Einrichtungen und der freien Szene zu ermöglichen, zu implementieren und zu begleiten.

description: The pebble-motion on graphs is a subcategory of multi-agent pathfinding problems dealing with moving multiple pebble-like objects from a node to a node in a graph with a constraint that only one pebble can occupy one node at a given time. Additionally, algorithms solving this problem assume that individual pebbles (robots) cannot move at the same time and their movement is discrete. These assumptions disqualify them from being directly used in practical applications, although they have otherwise nice theoretical properties. We present modifications of the Push and Rotate algorithm [1], which relax the presumptions mentioned above and demonstrate, through a set of experiments, that the modified algorithm is applicable for planning in automated warehouses.

description: The European Commission’s plan to restructure the organisation of R&I funding as reported in ScienceBusiness is alarming. The claim that this serves to put science, development, and innovation at the centre seems but a fig leaf. What actually puts science, development, and innovation at the centre of the EU’s innovation strategy is making the necessary financial investments and not a top-down restructuring. The three pillar structure is considered a success: The European Research Council (ERC) has been effective in stimulating and ensuring research excellence, with both the ERC’s independence and the ringfenced budget protecting the freedom to scientific research. Defence research has not just a different logic than fundamental and blue-sky research, it is also tied to shifting political priorities, making it crucial to ensure the separation of budgets. Instead of nice catchphrases, realising the goal set two decades ago, namely that each member state devotes 3% of their GDP to R&I and increasing the funding by the EU will ensure that Europe sees the stimulation, impact, and innovation it expects from research.

description: On January 1,1999 euro became the currency for 11 member states of the European Union. Since then the dollar-euro exchange rate has completed a full turning. Three years of depreciation of the euro followed by three years of appreciation without wild fluctuations asks for an explanation which would adequately account for the position of the euro as an emerging international currency. In this paper, first we present a concise summary of the theory of world money. Then we apply the theory to explain the development of the exchange rat of euro versus dollar in the subperiods 1999-2002 and 2002-2004.

description: We present a first-principles description of anisotropic materials characterized by having both weak (dispersion-like) and strong covalent bonds, based on the Adiabatic--Connection Fluctuation--Dissipation Theorem within Density Functional Theory. For hexagonal boron nitride the in-plane and out of plane bonding as well as vibrational dynamics are well described both at equilibrium and when the layers are pulled apart. Also bonding in covalent and ionic solids is described. The formalism allows to ping-down the deficiencies of common exchange-correlation functionals and provides insight towards the inclusion of dispersion interactions into the correlation functional.

description: The article considers the problem of the optimal control of a wind power plant based on fuzzy control and automation of generating the fuzzy rule base. Fuzzy rules by experts do not always provide a maximum power output of the wind plant and fuzzy rule bases require an adjustment in the case of changing the parameters of the wind power plant or the environment. This research proposes the method for optimizing the fuzzy rules base compiled by various experts. The method is based on balancing weights of fuzzy rules into the base by the Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm. The experiment has shown that the proposed method allows forming the fuzzy rule base as an exemplary optimal base from a non-optimized set of fuzzy rules. The optimal fuzzy rule base has been taken under consideration for the concrete control loop of wind power plant and the concrete fuzzy model of the wind.

description: Since the internet has gained importance as a business platform, the world has seen an influx of ideas and new online tools. Internet as well as digitalisation have significantly altered the business landscape in many industries. One of the new tools that has been entering the market for several years now is the chatbot. The possibilities of chatbot technology are already quite well recognised in terms of its use as a service bot that answers simple recurring questions. However, for shopper marketing it is still a very new and hardly explored technology. The aim of this bachelor thesis is to assess the possibilities of chatbot technology in online shopper marketing. The fashion industry has been chosen as the target market for this research. For this purpose, an insight into the fashion industry is first given. In the course of this, it will be explained why online shopper marketing has gained such an importance for the fashion industry in recent years, as well as what activities are included in it. In this context the chatbot solution will be introduced. It will be dealt with the question how to maximise the utilisation of chatbot technology in order to improve online shopper marketing. In the course of this work, a survey will be conducted to clarify the acceptance of Germans towards chatbot technology as well as desired chatbot characteristics. The conclusion will provide guidance on how a chatbot should look like in the German fashion market and can be used by companies as a reference for the implementation of chatbot technology.

description: Das Papier diskutiert die Ausgestaltung des EU Finanzsystems aus polit-ökonomischer Perspektive. Die jetzige Form der Umverteilung lässt sich aus ökonomischer Sicht nicht nachvollziehen; vielmehr kann dies als ein System von politischen Seitenzahlungen verstanden werden. Es wird argumentiert, dass das System in Zukunft nach einer Erweiterung so kaum noch haltbar ist. Stattdessen ist eine Beschränkung auf die tatsächlich notwendigen Aufgaben auf EU Ebene angebracht. Dies impliziert einerseits eine stärkere Zentralisierung, andererseits eine stärkere Dezentralisierung und Rückverlagerung von Aufgaben auf die nationale Ebene. Eine gewünschte Umverteilung zwischen den Staaten sollte pauschal und nicht länger über Agrar- und Sozialfonds stattfinden. Dabei steht die notwendige Reform unter erheblichem Zeitdruck, da sich nach einer Erweiterung der EU Reformen vermutlich noch schwieriger werden durchführen lassen.

description: In most countries, competition in the telecommunications industry is subject to both sector-specific regulation and more general antitrust policies. At the same time, a process of international market liberalisation is under way in telecommunications which can only be truly effective - and further advance - if appropriate competitive safeguards are in place. Trading partners should agree on certain minimum standards to be observed in this area in order to better combat anticompetitive conduct and avoid international conflicts. The Reference Paper to the WTO Agreement on Basic Telecommunications is an important step in this direction and may also serve as a model for other network industries. It is a framework of rules which has to be filled with concrete decisions in the fields of antitrust and regulation. More importantly, it must be complemented by multilateral competition rules of a more general nature. Der Wettbewerb im Telekommunikationssektor unterliegt in den meisten Ländern sowohl sektorspezifischer Regulierung als auch der allgemeinen Wettbewerbspolitik. Gleichzeitig findet eine internationale Liberalisierung der Telekommunikationsmärkte statt, deren Effektivität - und Fortgang - wesentlich von der Existenz wettbewerblicher Schutzklauseln abhängt. Die Handelspartner sollten sich in diesem Bereich auf bestimmte Mindeststandards zur besseren Bekämpfung wettbewerbswidriger Praktiken und Vermeidung internationaler Konflikte verständigen. Das Reference Paper zum WTO-Abkommen über Telekommunikationsgrunddienste ist ein bedeutender Schritt in dieser Richtung und auch ein Vorbild für andere Netzsektoren. Es enthält eine Rahmenregelung für konkrete politische Entscheidungen und bedarf insbesondere einer Ergänzung durch multilaterale Wettbewerbsregeln allgemeinerer Art.

description: The “Integrated Arctic Observation System” (INTAROS) is a 5-year project funded by Horizon 2020 under the Blue Growth Programme. The overall objective of INTAROS is to build an efficient integrated Arctic Observation System (iAOS) by extending, improving and unifying existing systems in the different regions of the Arctic. Within INTAROS, WP5 (Data integration and management) is tasked with designing and implementing evolution of the cloud platform and tools for the iAOS. This document defines version 2 of the iAOS cloud platform and tools. The cloud platform has the objective to integrate multidisciplinary and distributed data repositories and provide a set of tools for data analysis, transformation and visualization. The cloud platform offers services to access observations and derived parameters, including the new observations from WP2-3-4. In addition, it offers seamless integration with geo-statistical methods for interpolation of spatiotemporal datasets, and services to store the generated datasets in iAOS enabled repositories The cloud platform offers scalable allocation of data storage and computer power for integrative data processing and analysis. Selected applications established in WP6 will use the services and tools provided by the platform, and thereby demonstrate the usefulness and functionality of the platform. These applications will showcase the benefit of enhanced integration of data from Arctic observing systems. Examples of services developed using the cloud platform are presented in D5.7. Processing Services for iAOS v1. The iAOS cloud platform provides tools to users with essential functionality for data discovery view, data download, data transformation (e.g. sub-setting, projection, interpolation), and facilitate for development and streamlining data processing workflows. The platform tools address the challenges of Big Data (Volume, Velocity, Variety, Veracity, Value). The cloud platform architecture is supported by a federated cloud infrastructure to facilitate the management of the applications’ lifecycle (integration, validation and deployment in production). The version 2 (D5.8) of the iAOS cloud platform and tools presented in this deliverable augments the version 1 (D5.2) with the following descriptions: -Clarifications on the scope of the iAOS cloud platform within the overall iAOS -New section presenting the evolution of the Cloud Platform Software Development Kit (SDK) Handbook -Enhanced user guidance as part of the sections presenting the Cloud Platform's Ellip Solutions portfolio -More detailed tools descriptions and examples for the developer user guidance in section 3. “Catalog client tools” (OpenSearch Catalog client, OpenDAP/THREDDS Catalog client, Pangaea Catalog client).

description: This paper discusses a PhD research project testing the hypothesis that using the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals(SDG) as explicit inputs to drive the Software Requirements Engineering process will result in requirements with improved sustainability benefits. The research has adopted the Design Science Research Method (DSRM) [21] to test a process named SDG Assessment for Requirements Elicitation (SDGARE). Three DSRM cycles are being used to test the hypothesis in safety-critical, highprecision, software-intensive systems in aerospace and healthcare. Initial results from the first two DSRM cycles support the hypothesis. However, these cycles are in a plan-driven (waterfall) development context and future research agenda would be a similar application in an Agile development context.

description: We study the Abelian projected SU(2) lattice gauge theory after gauge fixing to the maximally Abelian gauge (MAG). In order to check the universality of the Abelian dominance we employ the tadpole improved tree level (TI) action. We show that the density of monopoles in the largest cluster (the IR component) is finite in the continuum limit which is approximated already at relatively large lattice spacing. The value itself is smaller than in the case of Wilson action. We present results for the ratio of the Abelian to non-Abelian string tension for both Wilson and TI actions for a number of lattice spacings in the range 0.06 fm < a < 0.35 fm. These results show that the ratio is between 0.9 and 0.95 for all considered values of lattice couplings and both actions. We compare the properties of the monopole clusters in two gauges - in MAG and in the Laplacian Abelian gauge (LAG). Whereas in MAG the infrared component of the monopole density shows a good convergence to the continuum limit, we find that in LAG it is even not clear whether a finite limit exists.

description: Due to the globalization a new challenge arose: Countries compete for investment, tour-ism and trade. To attract foreign investors, attract international tourists and to sell ex-ports, countries actively try to influence their image abroad by developing nation brand-ing strategies. Panama and Colombia have both experienced strong economic growth before the COVID-19 pandemic and became increasingly attractive. This research devel-ops strategies for both countries to create a positive national image and to successfully attract investment, trade and tourism. Furthermore, major differences and similarities between Colombia and Panama and their unique strengths and weaknesses, concerning the countries’ competitiveness and current branding practices are identified. To assess attractiveness (a key driver of competitiveness), the macroeconomic environment, cur-rent performance and conditions, findings from the Competitiveness Index are analysed. Additionally, the Nation Brand Equity Model by Dinnie and the Diamond Model by Porter are applied to the countries. Current nation branding practices are examined by analys-ing the organizations responsible for the attraction of trade, investment and tourism and their missions, visions, objectives, slogans, logos and webpages. To quantify both coun-tries’ attractiveness, a scoring model is developed, highlighting strengths, weaknesses and differences. Nation branding strategies are evaluated according to major strengths and weaknesses as well as clarity, competitiveness, coherence and credibility. The scor-ing model shows that both countries are similar with regard to many factors. Neverthe-less, Panama is, according to the selected criteria, slightly more attractive. On the other hand, Colombia’s nation branding approach demonstrates more strengths in comparison to Panama’s. Finally, recommendations for action are given to the governments and to the promotional organizations of both countries. In this context, the concept of compet-itiveness, in respect to global challenges is critically evaluated. Theoretical concepts from Nalebuff, Brandenburger and Anholt show that collaborative actions can have a positive impact on national images and that even in a competitive environment, countries can profit from cooperation.

description: This paper explores the international economic effects of forced labour, namely the linkages of forced labour with comparative advantage (trade) and foreign direct investment flows. It discusses several forms and the prevalence of forced labour and presents the results of empirical tests of those linkages. The results show that forced labour may enhance the endowment of unskilled labour. It can thus be expected to improve comparative advantage in unskilled-labour-intensive goods, that is, commodities where the impact of forced labour is likely to be felt most strongly. In contrast, foreign direct investment is negatively linked with forced labour. This result even holds for relatively poor developing countries. ZUSAMMENFASSUNG In dem vorliegenden Beitrag werden die internationalen ökonomischen Auswirkungen der Zwangsarbeit untersucht, das heißt die Beziehung zwischen Zwangsarbeit sowie ausländischen Direktinvestitionen einerseits und komparativen Handelsvorteilen anderseits. Im Mittelpunkt dabei steht zum einen eine Diskussion verschiedener Formen und der Verbreitung von Zwangsarbeit, zum anderen eine empirische Überprüfung dieser Zusammenhänge. Die Ergebnisse zeigen einen positiven Zusammenhang zwischen Ausmaß von Zwangsarbeit und komparativen Handelsvorteilen bei den arbeitsintensiven Industrieprodukten, die vorwiegend von Zwangsarbeit betroffen sind.

description: We present an analysis of the dust optical properties at large scale, for the whole galactic anticenter hemisphere. We used the 2MASS Extended Source Catalog to obtain the total reddening on each galaxy line of sight and we compared this value to the IRAS 100 microns surface brightness converted to extinction by Schlegel et al (1998). We performed a careful examination and correction of the possible systematic effects resulting from foreground star contamination, redshift contribution and galaxy selection bias. We also evaluated the contribution of dust temperature variations and interstellar clumpiness to our method. The correlation of the near-infrared extinction to the far-infrared optical depth shows a discrepancy for visual extinction greater than 1 mag with a ratio A_V(FIR) / A_V(gal) = 1.31 +- 0.06. We attribute this result to the presence of fluffy/composite grains characterized by an enhanced far--infrared emissivity. Our analysis, applied to half of the sky, provides new insights on the dust grains nature suggesting fluffy grains are found not only in some very specific regions but in all directions for which the visual extinction reaches about 1 mag.

Non-Linearities and Fractional Integration in the US Unemployment Rate

description: This paper proposes a model of the US unemployment rate which accounts for both its asymmetry and its long memory. Our approach, based on the tests of Robinson (1994), introduces fractional integration and nonlinearities simultaneously into the same framework (unlike earlier studies employing a sequential procedure), using a Lagrange Multiplier procedure with a standard limit distribution. The empirical results suggest that the US unemployment rate can be specified in terms of a fractionally integrated process, which interacts with some non-linear functions of the labour demand variables (real oil prices and real interest rates). We also find evidence of a long-memory component. Our results are consistent with a hysteresis model with path dependency rather than a NAIRU model with an underlying unemployment equilibrium rate, hence giving support to more activist stabilisation policies. However, any suitable model should also include business cycle asymmetries, with implications for both forecasting and policymaking.

Sphingius pingtung

description: Sphingius pingtung new species (Figs. 9-12) Types. Male holotype from Keng-Ting National Park, Pingtung County (22°36' N, 120°30' E), Taiwan, November 2000, collected by Y. L. Hsieh (NMNS - THU -Ar -01-0194). Etymology. The specific name is a noun in apposition taken from the type locality. Diagnosis. The new species is similar to Sphingius vivax (Thorell 1897) (Deeleman-Reinhold 2001, p. 494, figs. 840- 842) in carapace with many small granulations, but can be easily distinguished from the latter by embolus of male palp much longer, tibial apophysis large and acinaciform (Figs. 11-12). This new species also resembles S. scrobiculatus Thorell 1897 (Deeleman-Reinhold 2001, p. 489, 493, figs. 839) in male palp with a large tibial apophysis, but differs from the latter in: PME-PME smaller than 1 diameter of PME; embolus of male palp long, and tibial apophysis not beyond half of cymbium (Figs. 11—12), Male. Holotype total length 3.69: cephalothorax 1.62 long, 1.17 wide; abdomen 2.07 long, 1.26 wide. Carapace deep reddish brown, with numerous small granulations. Chelicerae reddish brown, slightly swollen in front surface, with 4 promarginal and 2 retromarginal teeth. Labium, endites and sternum reddish brown. Sternum with many small punctuations. Legs reddish brown, with a few fine spines and hairs. Abdomen reddish brown, covered with dorsal and ventral scuta. Anterior eye row almost straight, and posterior eye row recurved. AME-AME 0.06, AME- ALE 0.03, PME-PME 0.04, PME-PLE 0.04; AME 0.05, ALE 0.09, PME 0.10, PLE 0.09. MOA 0.20 long, front width 0.22, back width 0.25. Labium as long as wide (0.32: 0.32). Sternum longer than wide (1.00: 0.88). Measurements of palp and legs: palp 1.75 (0.68, 0.31, 0.20, 0.56); leg I 4.56 (1.33, 1.63, 0.85, 0.75), II 4.08 (1.19, 1.41, 0.80, 0.68), III femur 1.16 (distal four segments missing in both legs III), IV 5.28 (1.39, 1.73, 1.33, 0.83). Tibial apophysis of palp large and acinaciform, embolus long and flagelliform. Female. Unknown. Distribution. Taiwan (Pingtung County).

description: Die Arbeit verfolgt das Ziel, den zukünftigen Konsum der Gesellschaft im Hinblick auf den Klimawandel zu untersuchen, wobei die Forschungsfrage lautet: „Die Problematik des Konsums im Kontext der Klimakrise – Wie stehen die Chance für eine ökologisch-nachhaltig konsumierende Gesellschaft?“. Hierfür wird zunächst Literatur ausgewertet, die bspw. sozial-psychologische Prozesse im Verhalten thematisiert. Ein Leitfaden-Interview im Rahmen einer qualitativen Forschung soll dabei auf Veränderungen des Konsumverhaltens durch die Corona-Pandemie und den Ukraine-Krieg eingehen. Zudem wird hier ebenfalls kurz die Einschätzung der Befragten zu der genannten Forschungsfrage aufgegriffen. Es wird sich herausstellen, dass die Diskrepanz zwischen Einstellung und Verhalten die Hauptursache für das fehlende nachhaltige Konsumverhalten der Gesellschaft darstellt. Diese Diskrepanz kann unterschiedliche Gründe haben, welche das nachhaltige Verhalten erschweren. Die Ergebnisse der qualitativen Forschung zeigen, dass zwar gewisse Veränderungen durch die Corona-Pandemie und den Ukraine-Krieg stattgefunden haben, diese im Sinne der Nachhaltigkeit jedoch sowohl positiv als auch negativ zu bewerten sind. Die größte Herausforderung, das Verhalten der Menschen ihren Einstellungen anzupassen, liegt in der starken Eigennützigkeit ihrer Handlungen. Hierbei sind gewisse Lösungsansätze sinnvoll, die den Menschen das nachhaltige Verhalten erleichtern und attraktiver machen. Insgesamt kann gesagt werden, dass nachhaltiges Konsumverhalten der Gesellschaft zwar mit großen Herausforderungen verbunden ist, jedoch mit den richtigen Regelungen und Maßnahmen eindeutig verbessert werden könnte.
