description: The characteristics of phonons, i.e. linearized normal modes of vibration, provide important insights into many aspects of crystals, e.g. stability and thermodynamics. In this paper, we use the Objective Structures framework to make concrete analogies between crystalline phonons and normal modes of vibration in non-crystalline but highly symmetric nanostructures. Our strategy is to use an intermediate linear transformation from real-space to an intermediate space in which the Hessian matrix of second derivatives is block-circulant. The block-circulant nature of the Hessian enables us to then follow the procedure to obtain phonons in crystals: namely, we use the Discrete Fourier Transform from this intermediate space to obtain a block-diagonal matrix that is readily diagonalizable. We formulate this for general Objective Structures and then apply it to study carbon nanotubes of various chiralities that are subjected to axial elongation and torsional deformation. We compare the phonon spectra computed in the Objective Framework with spectra computed for armchair and zigzag nanotubes. We also demonstrate the approach by computing the Density of States. In addition to the computational efficiency afforded by Objective Structures in providing the transformations to almost-diagonalize the Hessian, the framework provides an important conceptual simplification to interpret the phonon curves.

description: In a recent study, Armstrong et al. presented an eclipsing binary star of about 6.2 h period with transit-like tertiary signals occurring every 204.2 d in the {\it Kepler} public data of KIC002856960 and proposed three possible hierarchical structures: (AB)b, (AB)C, and A(BC). We analyzed the {\it Kepler} light curve by including a third light source and one starspot on each binary component. The results represent that the close eclipsing pair is in a low-mass eccentric-orbit, detached configuration. Based on 123 eclipse timings calculated from the Wilson-Devinney binary model, a period study of the close binary reveals that the orbital period has experienced a sinusoidal variation with a period and a semi-amplitude of 205$\pm$2 d and 0.0021$\pm$0.0002 d, respectively. The period variation would be produced by the light-travel-time effect due to a gravitationally-bound third body with a minimum mass of $M_3 \sin i_3$=0.76 M$_\odot$ in an eccentric orbit of $e_3$=0.61. This is consistent with the presence of third light found in our light-curve solution and the tertiary signal of 204.2 d period most likely arises from the K-type star crossed by the close eclipsing binary. Then, KIC002856960 is a triply eclipsing hierarchical system, A(BC), consisting of a close binary with two M-type dwarfs and a more massive K-type component. The presence of the third star may have played an important role in the formation and evolution of the close pair, which may ultimately evolve into a contact system by angular momentum loss.

A Rhetorical history of the Office of Legal Counsel
Creators: name: Saas, William ODonnal
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2010

description: For over seventy-five years, the Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) has played a significant role in the crafting of executive policy rhetoric. Yet, within the scholarship in presidential and rhetorical studies, the OLC remains one of the least understood and, thus, underappreciated forces behind executive policy action. This thesis seeks to bridge the research gap by: (1) accounting for the OLC's rhetorical history through discussion of available "opinions" and their rhetorical consequences; and (2) by submitting a case study from the OLC's rhetorical history to critical analysis. Often, I will argue, the OLC "co-invented" international and domestic policies with White House officials--policies with real effects in the realm of global and domestic affairs. These effects culminated under President George W. Bush, for whom the OLC became an invaluable legal interpretive resource in the war on terror. Throughout, the traditional conception of rhetorical invention is expanded upon to account for jointly- or co-invented rhetorics. This end is facilitated by the historical-theoretical framework of rhetorical hermeneutics.
Bioconversion of polystyrene and food waste streams into biochar: An upgraded enzymatic activation system

description: Introduction Pyrolysis is a suitable strategy for managing two residues of global concern: plastics and food waste.1 The addition of plastics to the pyrolysis of biomass (co-pyrolysis) seems to improve the sorptive properties of biochar (carbonaceous pyrolysis product).2 However, one of the technical limitations of this type of co-pyrolysis is the different densities between materials, which limits the proportion of plastic in the mixture or forces a plastic pre-treatment to increase its density.3 To solve this technical limitation, the capability of some insect larva species to chew plastics emerges as a low-cost alternative method.4 Taking advantage of mealworm (Tenebrio molitor) voracity, we propose to use the frass (manure) from larvae fed with polystyrene (PS) and spend bread diets to produce biochar with upgraded features for enzymatic functionalization.

Retrofitting existing commercial buildings in the desert southwest to be energy efficient
Creators: name: Wilkins, Andrea Lee
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2010

description: This research proposes recommendations specific to the desert southwest for retrofitting existing commercial buildings. A dry, arid region such as Las Vegas, Nevada must contend with different ecological concerns than other parts of the United States. The city of Las Vegas sits in a valley in the Mojave Desert of the Southwestern United States and has a population of over 2.5 million inhabitants. The Las Vegas summers are rather hot and frequently exceed 100 degrees F, while the winters are usually mild, about 60-70 degrees F with cool nights. The state of Nevada receives an average of four inches of rainfall per year. Higher temperatures during summer months increase energy demand for cooling in buildings and simultaneously add stress to the electricity grid during peak periods of demand, which results in greater emissions of air pollutants and greenhouse gases. Most existing commercial buildings located in Las Vegas were not designed for energy efficiency, but retrofitting represents one of the easiest, most immediate and cost effective ways to reduce carbon emissions.

A case-study evaluation was employed to identify energy efficient design strategies that can effectively be implemented to retrofit existing commercial buildings in the southwest. Buildings in Tempe (AZ), Seattle (WA), San Jose (CA), and Pittsburgh (PA) were evaluated for their energy-saving and climate responsive strategies, their design (re)development processes, and construction technologies. Successful retrofitting in the Desert Southwest begins with the consideration of using the earth's basic elements, such as the sun, water and air to efficiently heat and cool the building. However, the research indicated that not all existing commercial buildings are properly oriented to take full advantage of the earth's natural elements. In this case, efficient mechanical systems were introduced to supplement the design.

In the near future it will be important to ensure that building codes are published with efficiency increases, and that all states adopt the new codes. Many of these policies should also incorporate measures and stipulations that are especially suited to encourage higher efficiency through retrofits and renovations in existing commercial buildings. The most important lesson learned through this research when trying to retrofit an existing commercial building is to continually monitor energy usage and communicate openly with employees. Workers spend over eight hours a day in their place of employment, more than they spend sleeping or spending time with their families. By using monitoring software, energy usage can be collected, analyzed, and mended if necessary, saving businesses money and creating a healthier work environment which bolsters productivity.
Dark radiation and dark matter in supersymmetric axion models with high reheating temperature

description: Recent studies of the cosmic microwave background, large scale structure, and big bang nucleosynthesis (BBN) show trends towards extra radiation. Within the framework of supersymmetric hadronic axion models, we explore two high-reheating-temperature scenarios that can explain consistently extra radiation and cold dark matter (CDM), with the latter residing either in gravitinos or in axions. In the gravitino CDM case, axions from decays of thermal saxions provide extra radiation already prior to BBN and decays of axinos with a cosmologically required TeV-scale mass can produce extra entropy. In the axion CDM case, cosmological constraints are respected with light eV-scale axinos and weak-scale gravitinos that decay into axions and axinos. These decays lead to late extra radiation which can coexist with the early contributions from saxion decays. Recent results of the Planck satellite probe extra radiation at late times and thereby both scenarios. Further tests are the searches for axions at ADMX and for supersymmetric particles at the LHC.

description: We offer a model of scientific progress in which uncertainty resolves over time. We show that rivalry leads to less experimentation, extending results for preemption games to experimentation with uncertain outcomes. We compare experimentation duration and welfare when experimental outcomes are publicly versus privately observable. We show that public learning can generate more experimentation and higher welfare when uncertainty about the feasibility of a breakthrough is large; breakthroughs are rare even when they are feasible; and experiments produce results infrequently. Our results shed light on recent criticism of the science system.

description: BackgroundThe causative agent of severe acute respiratory syndrome, SARS coronavirus (SARS-CoV) genome encodes several unique group specific accessory proteins with unknown functions. Among them, accessory protein 3b (also known as ORF4) was lately identified as one of the viral interferon antagonist. Recently our lab uncovered a new role for 3b in upregulation of AP-1 transcriptional activity and its downstream genes. Thus, we believe that 3b might play an important role in SARS-CoV pathogenesis and therefore is of considerable interest. The current study aims at identifying novel host cellular interactors of the 3b protein.Methodology/Principal FindingsIn this study, using yeast two-hybrid and co-immunoprecipitation techniques, we have identified a host transcription factor RUNX1b (Runt related transcription factor, isoform b) as a novel interacting partner for SARS-CoV 3b protein. Chromatin immunoprecipitaion (ChIP) and reporter gene assays in 3b expressing jurkat cells showed recruitment of 3b on the RUNX1 binding element that led to an increase in RUNX1b transactivation potential on the IL2 promoter. Kinase assay and pharmacological inhibitor treatment implied that 3b also affect RUNX1b transcriptional activity by regulating its ERK dependent phosphorylation levels. Additionally, mRNA levels of MIP-1α, a RUNX1b target gene upregulated in SARS-CoV infected monocyte-derived dendritic cells, were found to be elevated in 3b expressing U937 monocyte cells.Conclusions/SignificanceThese results unveil a novel interaction of SARS-CoV 3b with the host factor, RUNX1b, and speculate its physiological relevance in upregulating cytokines and chemokine levels in state of SARS virus infection.

description: Amplitude death is a dynamical phenomenon in which a network of oscillators settles to a stable state as a result of coupling. Here, we study amplitude death in a generalized model of delay-coupled delay oscillators. We derive analytical results for degree homogeneous networks that show that amplitude death is governed by certain eigenvalues of the network's adjacency matrix. In particular these results demonstrate that in delay-coupled delay oscillators amplitude death can occur for arbitrarily large coupling strength k. In this limit we find a region of amplitude death, which occurs already at small coupling delays that scale with 1/k. We show numerically that these results remain valid in random networks with heterogeneous degree distribution.

description: Hordenine, a bioactive food compound, has several pharmacological properties and has recently been identified as a dopamine D2 receptor (D2R) agonist. Since the pharmacokinetic profile of hordenine has been described to a limited extent, the present study focused on the transfer and transport of hordenine across the intestinal epithelium and the blood-brain barrier (BBB) in vitro. Hordenine was quickly transferred through the Caco-2 monolayer in only a few hours, indicating a rapid oral uptake. However, the high bioavailability may be reduced by the observed efflux transport of hordenine from the bloodstream back into the intestinal lumen and by first pass metabolism in intestinal epithelial cells. To determine the biotransformation rate of hordenine, the metabolite hordenine sulfate was synthesized as reference standard for analytical purposes. In addition, transfer studies using primary porcine brain capillary endothelial cells (PBCEC) showed that hordenine is able to rapidly penetrate the BBB and potentially accumulate in the brain. Thus, a D2R interaction of hordenine and activation of dopaminergic signaling is conceivable, assuming that the intestinal barrier can be circumvented by a route of administration alternative to oral uptake.

description: We propose a new off-shell formulation for N-extended conformal supergravity in three spacetime dimensions. Our construction is based on the gauging of the N-extended superconformal algebra in superspace. Covariant constraints are imposed such that the algebra of covariant derivatives is given in terms of a single curvature superfield which turns out to be the super Cotton tensor. An immediate corollary of this construction is that the curved superspace is conformally flat if and only if the super Cotton tensor vanishes. Upon degauging of certain local symmetries, our formulation is shown to reduce to the conventional one with the local structure group SL(2,R) x SO(N).

Avian Influenza Outbreaks and Rodent Plagues in the Dutch Disease Landscape
Creators: name: Rem, Sascha
Publisher: name: figshare
Year: 2023
Subjects: Landscape ecology

description: Agricultural intensification in the Netherlands has resulted in the removal of hedgerows. With the loss of hedgerows the Dutch landscape became more homogeneous, which lead to a lower resilience against plagues. Research pointed out that the mice plagues of the last few years in the Netherlands were caused by the homogeneity and openness of the landscape. And because mice and brown rats are known to be carriers of zoonoses, an open and hedge-poor landscape could therefore also contribute to the spread of zoonoses. This is demonstrated by the reoccurring outbreaks of avian influenza in poultry farms in the Netherlands, which are most likely caused by rodents.
 Since mice- and rat plague outbreaks and avian influenza outbreaks are responsible for severe agricultural damages, financial damages and increased human health risk, it would be of interest to examine the possible suppressing influence of hedgerows on avian influenza outbreaks in poultry farms in the Netherlands caused by mice and rats.
 However, since publicly available spatiotemporal data of mice- and brown rat plagues and avian influenza outbreaks is scarce, the objective of this case study was to design a workflow that extracts information from news articles about the date and location of avian influenza outbreaks and mice and brown rat plagues in the Netherlands by applying text mining. By doing so, the research goal of determining whether these events are related, was tackled. After performing text mining on selected news articles from Nexis Uni and visualizing the extracted data in ArcGIS Pro, it was observed that in general the avian influenza data is more consistent and clustered in certain regions of the Netherlands, while the rodent plague data is more spread out over the Netherlands. Additionally, the avian influenza data has more temporal variation in the total amount of outbreaks per 5 year time period in comparison to the rodent plague data. The found positive correlation of 0,33 between avian influenza outbreaks and rodent plague occurrences was therefore logical. However, this moderate positive correlation could also be the result of choices that were made for the methodological workflow.

The Integration of biomimicry into a built environment design process model: An alternative approach towards hydro-infrastructure
Creators: name: Albertson, Timothy Lee
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2010

description: Current methods and processes that support the planning, design and construction of a sustainable built environment include ambiguous principles (Roseland 2000), lack feedback loops (Van Bueren and Jong 2007) and lack a common language between disciplines (Brandon et al 1997). As a result of 3.8 billion years of "research and development" (evolution), nature provides a set of design blueprints that may be used to guide us to create elegant, sustainable, and innovative designs for human technologies (Benyus 1997). The field of biomimicry analyzes nature's best ideas and adapts them for human use (Benyus 1997). The built environment could benefit from the integration of a discipline such as biomimicry into the design process.

One example within the built environment where the field of biomimicry might offer sustainable practices is that of human hydro-infrastructure, since many systems are approaching the end of their useful life (Mays 2002, AWWA 2001). Hydro-infrastructure includes the management of water systems in order to support human civilization. This thesis integrates the field of biomimicry into a design process model that supports the built environment. The design process model proposed in this paper allows a further distillation of components (functions) in order to seek organism strategies that accomplish the same function. These strategies are then translated into conceptual design options applicable to various scales within human hydro-infrastructure. Integrating biomimicry's "Life's Principles" into a built environment process model, will make biomimicry more accessible and thus more widely accepted throughout the industry, and the sustainability of all species will benefit.

Characteristics of adolescent females sexually exploited through prostitution
Creators: name: Robinson, Alanna
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2010

description: Adolescent females are becoming the fastest growing population amongst juveniles being held in detention and referred to juvenile courts. Unfortunately such increases are linked to a lack of alternative services available for youths during the adjudication process. Upon being arrested, delinquent girls are suffering from a host of health, emotional and social issues for which there is also a lack of programming and detailed research. However, emerging evidence indicates that female delinquency is characterized by a multitude of overlapping problems that distinguish them from male delinquents. Issues include poor mental health, history of child abuse, substance abuse among parents and family members, unstable home environments, poor academic performance, association with other deviant peers, and involvement in high-risk sexual activity. One high risk sexual activity is engaging in prostitution, a behavior often seen with youth who have a history of sexual abuse. Youth often use prostitution as a survival strategy while living on the streets after running away to escape abuse at home. This study aims to examine the extent of prostitution behaviors of adolescent girls in Clark County, Nevada and determine which characteristics can be identified as risk factors or predictors of involvement in prostitution.

description: This Wuppertal Paper analyses the energy transition models of Colombia and Germany. The emphasis of the exercise is on an analysis of options for the complete decarbonization of the energy system in Colombia as a Global South country. To this end, it analyses the current situation, projections, public policy and narratives, and contrasts it with Germany as one of the countries of the Global North with which Colombia has historically maintained energy trade relations and is currently collaborating in the exploration of energy alternatives for decarbonization. Detailed analysis of sectoral energy consumption in Colombia shows the sectors with the highest fossil energy consumption (in this order): transport (fuels), industry (gas, coal), electricity generation (gas, coal) and residential (gas). We show the projected increase in demand for fuels and electricity, and calculate the amount of electricity theoretically needed to substitute fossil sources in each sector. We estimate the total electricity required for decarbonization via sector coupling and derive a first estimation of the range of additional renewable energy capacities needed to supply this demand. We find that required capacities are expectedly large (56-110 GW), depending on decarbonization pathways, and that export capacity beyond national demand may be limited. Our analysis of the policy and scenario arena in both countries finds that Colombia is still lacking both sector-specific decarbonization strategies and an embedding in a systemic vision of a systemic energy transition. Germany has more advanced sector strategies and (national) systemic visions, but lacks embedding assumptions on energy imports in a global-system analysis, i.e. in the analysis of an energy transition in potential exporting countries like Colombia. We formulate requirements to close these gaps in our conclusions.

description: We propose and analyze a nanoengineered vortex array in a thin-film type-II superconductor as a magnetic lattice for ultracold atoms. This proposal addresses several of the key questions in the development of atomic quantum simulators. By trapping atoms close to the surface, tools of nanofabrication and structuring of lattices on the scale of few tens of nanometers become available with a corresponding benefit in energy scales and temperature requirements. This can be combined with the possibility of magnetic single site addressing and manipulation together with a favorable scaling of superconducting surface-induced decoherence.

Odonates at the Clark County Wetlands Nature Preserve: A look at habitat and relative abundance
Creators: name: Jolley, Erin
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2006

description: The purpose of this study is to identify the various species, relative abundance and habitat of dragonfly and damselfly larvae at the Clark County Wetlands Park Nature Preserve (WPNP). An accurate assessment of these insects can be useful in interpreting potential indications of environmental problems at the Wetlands. From this data, necessary improvements can be made to the dragonfly habitat as well as the habitat of other surrounding organisms. Habitat identification is considered especially important because it is "structured by instream and surrounding topographical features, and is a major determinant of aquatic community potential" (Southwood, 1977). For purposes of this study I will not be interpreting the potential problems indicated at WPNP, but rather providing a foundation for others to do so. Determining what kinds of species and their relative abundance will be useful as baseline information and monitoring of any changes in environmental quality in the future.

description: Two-dimensional plasma crystals are characterized by a strong up-and-down asymmetry not only due to gravity but also due to the presence of plasma flow at the location of particles. We study for the first time the interaction of a single-layer plasma crystal with charged extra particles located above it (upstream of the flow of ions). Upstream extra particles tend to move between the rows of particles in the crystal, accelerate to supersonic speeds, and excite attraction-dominated Mach cones and wakes in the crystal.

description: The relationship between experimental observables for Lorentz violation in the fermion sector and the coefficients for Lorentz violation appearing in the lagrangian density is investigated in the minimal Standard-Model Extension. The definitions of the 44 fermion-sector observables, called the tilde coefficients, are shown to have a block structure. The c coefficients decouple from all the others, have six subspaces of dimension 1, and one of dimension 3. The remaining tilde coefficients form eight blocks, one of dimension 6, one of dimension 2, three of dimension 5, and three of dimension 4. By inverting these definitions, thirteen limits on the electron-sector tilde coefficients are deduced.

description: Hosting a tea tasting event can be challenging for small tea shop owners or owners new to the industry. Knowledge of tea is not a guarantee a tea tasting will be a success. This handbook will be a reference for tea rooms, coffee shops, spas, restaurants, hotels, and gourmet retail outlets or shops to use when planning a tea tasting events. The objective is to provide tea rooms, coffee shops, spas, restaurants, hotels, gourmet retail outlets or shops and others in the tea industry with the tools to hold a successful tea tasting event. Each tea tasting event will have different requirements, but the goals will probably be the same, to increase sales. The handbook will serve as a guide or road map to a creating successful event. Starting with the benefits of holding a tea tasting, the next challenge is to determine the style of tasting appropriate for the location. The style of tasting determines the equipment needed for the tasting. Marketing the tea tasting event to the appropriate market is critical to success. Next comes preparation, then execution of the event. Finally, one often overlooked task that should be part of every event is evaluation of the event.

description: A class of strongly interacting many-body fermionic systems in 2+1D non-relativistic conformal field theory is examined via the gauge-gravity duality correspondence. The 5D charged black hole with asymptotic Schrodinger isometry in the bulk gravity side introduces parameters of background density and finite particle number into the boundary field theory. We propose the holographic dictionary, and realize a quantum phase transition of this fermionic liquid with fixed particle number by tuning the background density $β$ at zero temperature. On the larger $β$ side, we find the signal of a sharp quasiparticle pole on the spectral function A(k,w), indicating a well-defined Fermi surface. On the smaller $β$ side, we find only a hump with no sharp peak for A(k,w), indicating the disappearance of Fermi surface. The dynamical exponent $z$ of quasiparticle dispersion goes from being Fermi-liquid-like $z\simeq1$ scaling at larger $β$ to a non-Fermi-liquid scaling $z\simeq 3/2$ at smaller $β$. By comparing the structure of Green's function with Landau Fermi liquid theory and Senthil's scaling ansatz, we further investigate the behavior of this quantum phase transition.

description: We construct a complete set of local integrals of motion that characterize the many-body localized (MBL) phase. Our approach relies on the assumption that local perturbations act locally on the eigenstates in the MBL phase, which is supported by numerical simulations of the random-field XXZ spin chain. We describe the structure of the eigenstates in the MBL phase and discuss the implications of local conservation laws for its non-equilibrium quantum dynamics. We argue that the many-body localization can be used to protect coherence in the system by suppressing relaxation between eigenstates with different local integrals of motion.

SARS-CoV and emergent coronaviruses: viral determinants of interspecies transmission
Creators: name: Eric Donaldson

Publisher: name: Science Direct
Year: 2011

description: Most new emerging viruses are derived from strains circulating in zoonotic reservoirs. Coronaviruses, which had an established potential for cross-species transmission within domesticated animals, suddenly became relevant with the unexpected emergence of the highly pathogenic human SARS-CoV strain from zoonotic reservoirs in 2002. SARS-CoV infected approximately 8000 people worldwide before public health measures halted the epidemic. Supported by robust time-ordered sequence variation, structural biology, well-characterized patient pools, and biological data, the emergence of SARS-CoV represents one of the best studied natural models of viral disease emergence from zoonotic sources. This review article summarizes previous and more recent advances into the molecular and structural characteristics, with particular emphasis on host-receptor interactions, that drove this remarkable virus disease outbreak in human populations.

description: Assessment of the risks posed by severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) coronavirus (SARS-CoV) on surfaces requires data on survival of this virus on environmental surfaces and on how survival is affected by environmental variables, such as air temperature (AT) and relative humidity (RH). The use of surrogate viruses has the potential to overcome the challenges of working with SARS-CoV and to increase the available data on coronavirus survival on surfaces. Two potential surrogates were evaluated in this study; transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV) and mouse hepatitis virus (MHV) were used to determine effects of AT and RH on the survival of coronaviruses on stainless steel. At 4°C, infectious virus persisted for as long as 28 days, and the lowest level of inactivation occurred at 20% RH. Inactivation was more rapid at 20°C than at 4°C at all humidity levels; the viruses persisted for 5 to 28 days, and the slowest inactivation occurred at low RH. Both viruses were inactivated more rapidly at 40°C than at 20°C. The relationship between inactivation and RH was not monotonic, and there was greater survival or a greater protective effect at low RH (20%) and high RH (80%) than at moderate RH (50%). There was also evidence of an interaction between AT and RH. The results show that when high numbers of viruses are deposited, TGEV and MHV may survive for days on surfaces at ATs and RHs typical of indoor environments. TGEV and MHV could serve as conservative surrogates for modeling exposure, the risk of transmission, and control measures for pathogenic enveloped viruses, such as SARS-CoV and influenza virus, on health care surfaces.

description: Auf den Punkt ...

Tarifabweichungen sind betriebsbezogene Unterschreitungen der Flächentarifvertragsnormen, die durch die Tarifvertragsparteien legitimiert werden. In der Chemischen Industrie und der Metallindustrie finden sie in etwa jedem zehnten tarifgebundenen Betrieb Anwendung.

Tarifabweichungen werden von den Gewerkschaften inzwischen prozedural und inhaltlich stärker kontrolliert.

Betriebsräte agieren bei betrieblichen Tarifunterschreitungen als Tarifakteure im Betrieb.
Im Zuge der Tarifabweichung gewinnen die Betriebsräte mit Unterstützung der Gewerkschaften häufig an Statur gegenüber den Unternehmensleitungen.

Konflikt- und beteiligungsorientierte Verhandlungsstrategien stärken die Legitimation der Interessenvertretungen und die Organisationsmacht der Gewerkschaft im Betrieb. Beteiligungsorientierte Strategien werden von der Gewerkschaft getragen.
