description: This qualitative narrative inquiry studied the career journeys of five Black school principals from Indiana with five or more years of experience in their role. The purpose of this study was to understand the following: (a) the experiences of each participant including who influenced them to pursue the principal role, (b) their successful endeavors as principals, (c) the obstacles they have faced along the path to the principalship, and (d) their beliefs as to why they have persisted in the role for at least five years.The data were collected through two rounds of individual semi-structured interviews with the participants. Each round was at least three weeks apart. This protocol sparked rich discussion from which five themes emerged: (1) relationships vs. results, (2) scholarship, (3) perseverance, (4) ongoing issues, and (5) mentorship. Each of these themes was revisited with each participant in the second round of interviews.The analysis of the data from this study led to three specific assertions that are discussed in the final chapter. Assertion #1: Effective professional mentorship has a positive impact on Black principals’ ability to persevere. Assertion #2: Black principal perseverance is fueled by reflection and intrinsic sources of inspiration. Assertion #3: A disposition toward life-long learning has a positive impact on a Black principals’ ability to persevere. These assertions and the corresponding implications were developed after a careful examination of the current literature on school leadership and the Black principal experience. This study can be utilized as a purposeful tool to recruit, develop, and retain Black educators generally and Black school leaders specifically.
Agroecological Farmer Movements and Advocacy Coalitions in Sub-Saharan Africa: Between De-Politicization and Re-Politicization

description: Agroecology has become an ideological basis to defend social justice and environmental sustainability in food systems and has spread across the world including into sub-Saharan Africa. In this chapter, we discuss the opportunities and challenges faced by an African agroecological farmers’ movement from a labour environmentalist perspective, based on a set of interviews with the main actors promoting agroecology in Senegal, the main repertories of collective action of the movement are discussed. We analyse the emancipatory potential of these repertories and discuss processes that lead to their potential depoliticization and repoliticization, namely the removal versus revival of politically contentious issues. We argue that despite the extraordinary dynamism of agroecology advocacy coalitions in the country, their dependence on international donors and the historic weakness of farmer unions lead them to focus on technical demonstrations and limit the political and financial autonomy of grassroots farmer organizations. A recent focus on territorial approaches, alternative food networks and the development of platforms at national level might nevertheless open up new opportunities for societal transformations.

description: Background: Psychiatric hospitals are becoming increasingly digitized because of the disruptive rise in technical possibilities. This digitization leads to new tasks and demands for health professionals, which can have an impact on technostress. It is unclear whether digital competence reduces technostress and how technostress affects health professionals’ mental and physical health. Objective: This study aims to assess the association between digital competence and technostress, considering individual characteristics and the association between technostress and long-term consequences for health professionals. Methods: Cross-sectional data from 3 Swiss psychiatric hospitals were analyzed using multiple linear regression. The dependent variables for the models were digital competence, technostress, and long-term consequences (intention to leave the organization or the profession, burnout symptoms, job satisfaction, general health status, quality of sleep, headaches, and work ability). One model was calculated for each long-term consequence. The mean scores for technostress and digital competence could range between 0 (fully disagree) and 4 (fully agree), where a high value for technostress indicated high technostress and a high value for digital competence indicated high digital competence. Results: The sample comprised 493 health professionals in psychiatric hospitals. They rated their technostress as moderate (mean 1.30, SD 0.55) and their digital competence as high (mean 2.89, SD 0.73). Digital competence was found to be significantly associated with technostress (β=−.20; P<.001). Among the individual characteristics, age (β=.004; P=.03) and profession were significantly associated with both digital competence and technostress. Technostress is a relevant predictor of burnout symptoms (β=10.32; P<.001), job satisfaction (β=−6.08; P<.001), intention to leave the profession (β=4.53; P=.002), organization (β=7.68; P<.001), general health status (β=−4.47; P<.001), quality of sleep (β=−5.87; P<.001), headaches (β=6.58; P<.001), and work ability (β=−1.40; P<.001). Conclusions: Physicians and nurses who have more interaction with digital technologies rate their technostress higher and their digital competence lower than those in other professions. Health professionals with low interaction with digital technologies appear to overestimate their digital competence. With increasing digitization in psychiatric hospitals, an increase in the relevance of this topic is expected. Educational organizations and psychiatric hospitals should proactively promote the digital competence of health professionals to manage expected disruptive changes.

description: Livestock production is more than just producing meat, milk and eggs. It provides many crucial services world-wide, particularly for small-scale and women farmers in the Global South. But these important services are often only insufficiently considered in the current debate on livestock’s negative impact on the environment and climate, our authors claim. An overview of livestock’s multiple roles and its intricate position in food systems – and a plea for context-specific and multifaceted approaches in developing sustainable solutions for tomorrow’s animal husbandry.
Planning on a wider scale – Swedish forest owners' preferences for landscape policy attributes

description: A tax-fund system has been proposed to advance Swedish forest conservation. We present a choice experiment with Swedish private forest owners on preferences for attributes of a tax-fund system. Focusing on three aspects: (i) freedom to choose set-asides, (ii) equity issues, and (iii) frequency of nature inventories, we find two groups of forest owners. The first is opposed to interventions that could curtail liberty and oppose frequent nature inventories, while a smaller group would derive positive utility from jointly deciding on the location of set-asides with society. Both groups have a preference for changing the current tax-base to soil productivity or timber volume. The tax-base chosen together with the modalities of re-distributing the funds will determine the program's efficiency. The paper concludes that a tax-fund system could indeed be a way forward but would need to be designed in a participatory manner to reconcile forest owners, forest industry representatives, and conservationists.

description: Affordable innovations, which serve consumers with a low willingness or ability to pay, are a means to address grand challenges while also generating economic value. However, less is known about how managers’ and decision makers’ individual-level preferences and attitudes for or against affordable innovation hinder their development. Hence, in addition to identifying and conceptualising the affordable innovation rejection (AIR) attitudes of decision makers as a major obstacle, this study proposes a scale to measure them. Specifically, with a series of qualitative and quantitative studies, this research develops and validates a parsimonious psychometric scale that can measure decision makers’ AIR attitudes. The resulting six-item scale is based on a tripartite AIR conceptualisation, which proves valid in terms of convergent, discriminant, experimental, nomological, predictive, and test–retest reliability. The proposed research agenda in turn details some possible applications of this scale.

description: Background: Needs-based care is a central concern of healthcare policy. A European comparison of the utilisation of medical services can help to assess national data and identify the need for action. Methods: This article describes indicators on the utilisation of outpatient and inpatient services, medical examinations and the use of medicines from the third wave of the European Health Interview Survey (EHIS 3) and compares the results from Germany with the European averages. Results: Age-standardised, the utilisation of medical services in Germany was above the European average without exception, whereby demographic and social differences were similar. Almost all services were utilised more frequently by women and in older age groups. Exceptions are inpatient services and colonoscopy, where there was no difference between the sexes, and more frequent use of psychiatric and psychotherapeutic services and non-prescription medication among younger adults. Specialist medical and dental services were used more frequently in the high education group, psychiatric and psychotherapeutic services as well as inpatient services and prescription medication in the low education group. Conclusions: The European comparison requires a differentiated categorisation of the findings. While the high utilisation in Germany for some evidence-based services (e.g. colonoscopy, dentistry) indicates good access to care, the high inpatient utilisation, for example, is also the subject of critical discussion.

Unlocking past and present climatic and anthropogenic drivers of environmental change influencing Miri–Sibuti Coral Reefs National Park (Borneo, Malaysia)
Creators: name: Naciri, Walid
Publisher: name: University of Leicester
Year: 2024

description: Corals are calcifying organisms that predominantly live in warm shallow waters across the tropics. Coral reefs are known to harbour as much as 25 % of all marine species thereby making them the richest marine ecosystems on the planet. Coral species incorporate a diverse array of trace elements naturally present in the surrounding seawater into their skeleton upon calcification in similar concentrations or depending on local seawater temperature. As such, analysing the coral skeleton’s geochemistry and isotopic signature across cores sampled from different colonies allows us to build various records of past environmental conditions. We used δ18O, Sr/Ca, B/Ca, and Ba/Ca records as proxies for hydroclimate, temperature, and sediment in river discharge to investigate the human and climatic drivers of environmental change in the Miri–Sibuti Coral Reef National Park in Sarawak, Malaysian Borneo. Here, we first use the corals δ18O signature as a proxy for local hydroclimate and show the importance of record replication, the use of an appropriate instrumental record and more importantly, a growing influence of the El Niño Southern Oscillation phenomenon on the hydroclimate of this region. We then test the capacity of the Ba/Ca proxy to record river discharge based on available instrumental data and show that corals are able to record an increased river discharge linked to growing deforestation since the mid 90s. Based on this chapter’s results, we then produce extended records to uncover the onset of industrial deforestation in the middle of the 20th century in this region and link it to local and regional deforestation and land use records. This thesis emphasises the significance of utilising geochemical proxies to compensate for the absence of instrumental data in remote regions. These proxies prove invaluable in supplying essential information to inform evidence–based policies aimed at safeguarding local ecosystems.

description: More than 80 % of the world’s cocoa is grown in West Africa, traditionally under thinned forest where timber, fruit, or nut trees were retained. Nowadays, farmers, particularly in Côte d’Ivoire, are reportedly shifting to full-sun cocoa. Cameroon is the world’s 5th largest cocoa producer, where it is grown by 70 % of farmers in the humid south, yet yields are low and constrained by blackpod disease (Phytophthora megakarya). Our objective was to assess how management changes have impacted yields between 2001 and 2018. We hypothesised that shade trees had been removed and intensification has occurred fueled by increased inputs. In 2001, we conducted surveys in seven villages with 210 farmers, then again in 2018 with 126 farmers. In 2018, 69 % of farmers had extended their cocoa fields, compared with 28 % in 2001. 54 % of farmers had a nursery compared with 25 % in 2001. In 2018, 61 % of the farmers said that cocoa sales were their largest revenue sources, compared with 40 % in 2001. In 2001, no farmer used herbicide or fertiliser whereas by 2018 this had increased to 9 % for both products. Numbers of farmers using insecticides quadrupled from 18 % in 2001 to 69 % in 2018. Fungicides remained the most used pesticide with 65 % of farmers using them in 2001 compared with 86 % in 2018. Walking time to the field more than doubled and more farms had been established after partial clearance of secondary forest than after short fallow. The global trend towards full-sun systems was not observed as there were less farmers in 2018 indicating they used full-sun systems and more reported using higher shade levels. Average reported yields were higher in 2018 (176 kg ha−1) than in 2001 (115 kg ha−1). Yield was positively and significantly correlated with total costs and labour invested, yet negatively correlated with total area of cocoa holding. Bucking the regional trend, Cameroon’s cocoa farmers have simultaneously pursued expansion into secondary forest and intensification by increasing chemical inputs and labour investment, and yields have increased by 50 %. Full-sun systems are rare; farmers still cultivate traditional, carbon rich agroforestry systems albeit with more inputs.

description: In Schweizer Spitälern sind Gesundheitsfachpersonen von Patienten- und Angehörigenaggression betroffen, die negative physische wie psychische Folgen haben können. Vermehrt betroffen sind junge Fachpersonen. Sie machen sich daher Gedanken, den Beruf frühzeitig zu verlassen. Dennoch existiert wenig Wissen zum Aggressionserleben junger Fachpersonen. Ziel dieser Studie ist, die Erfahrung von Patienten- und Angehörigenaggression junger Pflegefachpersonen zu beschreiben. Dazu wurden 13 Interviews mit Pflegenden im Alter zwischen 23 und 28 Jahren geführt und inhaltsanalytisch ausgewertet. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die teilnehmenden Pflegenden Aggressionen von kognitiv adäquaten Patientinnen und Patienten als persönlicher und stärker belastend erleben. Die Verarbeitung im Team wurde von den Teilnehmenden als wichtig erachtet, um langfristig im Beruf weiterzuarbeiten. Sie begründeten die Aggression gegen sich durch ihre geringere Berufs- und Lebenserfahrung, persönliche Charakteristika sowie mangelnde Autorität im Auftreten gegenüber Patientinnen und Patienten sowie Angehörigen. In der Praxis ist der Belastung junger Pflegefachpersonen aufgrund verbaler Aggressionserfahrungen vermehrte Beachtung zu schenken. Die nachhaltige Begleitung nach einem Aggressionsereignis sollte institutionalisiert werden.

description: Neue Erkenntnisse im Bereich Steinschlag und Wald haben dazu geführt, dass das Bundesamt für Umwelt im Jahr 2008 damit begonnen hat, das NaiS-Anforderungsprofil Steinschlag zu überarbeiten. Bislang flossen die Sturzgeschwindigkeit, die Steinmasse sowie die bewaldete Hanglänge im Schutzwald nicht in die Bestimmung des Anforderungsprofils ein. Um alle diese wichtigen Faktoren miteinbeziehen zu können, wurde ein internet-basiertes Formular entwickelt, welches das Anforderungsprofil berechnet. Der vorliegende Artikel gibt einen Überblick über die wichtigsten Prozesse im Steinschlagschutzwald und zeigt auf, auf welchen Grundlagen die Berechnung des neuen Anforderungsprofils basiert. Obwohl nur von Steinschlag gesprochen wird, ist auch bei grossen Blöcken (z.B. >5 m3) eine Waldwirkung gegeben, allerdings wird für eine relevante Energie- und Risiko-reduktion ein langes, bewaldetes Transitgebiet mit einer genügenden Anzahl dicker Bäume benötigt. Das neue Anforderungsprofil bietet die Möglichkeit, auch solchen Situationen Rechnung zu tragen.

description: Im Zuge der Entstrukturalisierung von Lebensverläufen und der Verjugendlichung von Erwachsenen einerseits sowie jugendspezifischer Orientierungsprozesse zwischen Selbst- und Fremdbestimmung andererseits, gehen die Autorinnen der Frage nach, welche Konfliktlinien sich zwischen der Freizeitgestaltung von berufstätigen Jugendlichen und elterlichen Erwartungen abzeichnen. Zahlreiche Studien belegen eine zentrale Bedeutung von informellen Peergroups bei Jugendlichen. Allerdings besteht bislang ungenügende Klarheit über deren Integrationsfunktion. Vor diesem Hintergrund interessieren insbesondere kollektive Alltagsdeutungen elterlicher Erwartungen und jugendlicher Bewältigungsstrategien bei Konflikten. Die Aufschlüsselung der jugendlichen Sichtweise bietet wichtige Anhaltspunkte für die Weiterentwicklung der gesellschaftliche Integrations- und Präventionsarbeit der Jugendhilfe.

description: Energetic materials are substances with considerable amounts of energy that can detonate under shock, pressure, or high temperature conditions, making them acceptable candidates for applications such as explosives, propellants, and fuels. One example of an energetic material is the explosive known as cyclotetramethylene tetranitramine (HMX). When subjected to impact, HMX can undergo thermo-mechanical responses that may lead to deflagration or, in the most severe cases, detonation. Due to the multiscale nature of these phenomena and the varying impact velocity magnitudes, replicating such responses can be challenging or even unattainable in an experimental setting. Consequently, computational models capable of predicting real-world conditions beyond experimental reach are highly valuable to the explosives research community.This study continues the work from previous analyses (Duarte 2021) by developing a finite element model of HMX combined with an aluminum rod, predicting damage evolution and dynamic response under shock compression. The impact velocities applied in the model ranged from 0.1 km/s to 0.6 km/s using three different crystal orientations to investigate their corresponding effects. The results indicate that impacting in the direction normal to the HMX plane [110], which exhibited high levels of plastic energy, had the most resistant to cracking near the HMX-aluminum interface. Furthermore, these findings show that elastic energy accumulation is the primary driver in this analysis of crack propagation and bulk damage in HMX crystals.Additionally, the HMX and aluminum results were compared against two additional models: a homogeneous HMX sample without discontinuities and an HMX sample with a void in place of the aluminum rod. Comparisons of the models show that the most severe damage field occurs in the void model, while the shock wave accelerated through the aluminum rod but also decelerated significantly in the presence of a void due to wave refraction at traction free boundaries. These results provide another level of understanding into the role of material interfaces and voids in the dynamic response of HMX under shock loading. Experimental validation of these findings is recommended for future studies, assuming the conditions are feasible for testing.

description: A business model is an essential part of a company—regardless of whether the company is a small entity or a global enterprise. Interest in business models in research and in practice has grown significantly in the last decade. Strategic initiatives and changes in business models are particularly cost intensive and uncertain. Thus, the analysis and understanding of a business model’s structure and its changes induced by strategic initiatives is crucial. Approaches to business model analysis needs to support strategists and decision-makers, enabling them to evaluate strategic initiatives and alternatives in fluent environments where there is little or no prior experience. However, regrettably, the qualitative approaches currently available fall short of providing sound guidelines especially in uncertain, highly volatile situations that involve rapid technological developments and agile competitors, which middle managers and top-level executives are often faced with. The quantitative approach used in the article concerning business model analysis is founded on a systemic simulation methodology which enables decision makers to obtain insightful experimental designs with a company’s business model. Computational modeling helps to understand business models as complex systems with dynamic interdependencies and thereby it can complement existing tools. This article uses the approach for a case study in the e-commerce business. It discusses advantages and disadvantages of computational modeling as a strategy and management tool.

description: The history of ideas of the late twentieth and early twenty-fist centuries requires to take into account new forms of media expression such as video games. Video games have been an integral part of our entertainment culture for more than 40 years and are an international billion dollar business. Questions like “What is power? What does justice mean in politics? Who should govern whom?” are not only encountered in political essays and parliamentary debates. In order to understand how people have thought about domination in concrete societies over the past 40 years, we also have to examine the games that were played. Games cannot be imagined as an element of our societies and cultures independently of them; they are spaces of discourse where statements are constructed and communicated, and political ideas can be tested and applied in a playful way. As a medium, they thus provide a necessary space of communication within our highly complex societies, and as models of abstraction they also offer very specific access to a (very specific?) political reality.

description: Engineered wood products such as glulam or cross-laminated timber are widely established in the construction industry. Their structural behaviour and reliability clearly bases on the adhesive bonding. In order to understand and improve the performance of glued wood members a finite element modelling of standard single lap shear samples was carried out. A three-dimensional model of a longitudinal tensile-shear specimen with quasi-centric load application was developed. The main influences of wood and adhesive parameters on structural performance were identified. Therefore, variations of the elasticity, the annual ring angle, fibre angle, and the interface zone and their effect on the occurring stresses in the adhesive bond line were investigated numerically. The adhesive bond line is most significantly sensitive to the Young´s modulus of the adhesive itself. A variation of the fibre angle of the glued members in the standard test is an essential criterion and to be considered when preparing lap shear specimens. A model with
