They have been developed by a broad range of actors, such as cities, non-profit organizations, and private corporations. Several scholars have lately devoted particular attention to voluntary global business initiatives in the policy domain of climate change. Their studies have provided considerable insights into the role and function of such new modes of climate governance. However, the precise nature of the relationship between the various climate governance experiments and the international climate negotiations has not been analyzed in enough detail. Against this backdrop, the present article explores the interplay of a business sector climate governance experiment, i.e. the Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG Protocol) with the international climate regime. On the one hand, the article underscores that the GHG Protocol has filled a regulatory gap in global climate policy-making by providing the means for the corporate sector to comprehensively account and report their GHGs. On the other hand, it reveals that the application of the GHG Protocol guidelines depends to a large extent on the existence of an overarching policy framework set up by nation-states at the intergovernmental level. Only if private companies receive a clear political signal that stringent mandatory GHG emission controls and a global market-based instrument are at least likely to be adopted will they put substantial efforts into the accurate measurement and management of their GHGs. Thus, this article points to the limits of climate governance experimentation and suggests that business sector climate governance experiments need to be embedded in a coherent international regulatory setting which generates a clear stimulus for corporate action.}, language = {en} } @article{MartinezGarzonKwiatekBohnhoffetal.2017, author = {Mart{\´i}nez-Garz{\´o}n, Patricia and Kwiatek, Grzegorz and Bohnhoff, Marco and Dresen, Georg}, title = {Volumetric components in the earthquake source related to fluid injection and stress state}, series = {Geophysical research letters}, volume = {44}, journal = {Geophysical research letters}, number = {2}, publisher = {American Geophysical Union}, address = {Washington}, issn = {0094-8276}, doi = {10.1002/2016GL071963}, pages = {800 -- 809}, year = {2017}, abstract = {We investigate source processes of fluid-induced seismicity from The Geysers geothermal reservoir in California to determine their relation with hydraulic operations and improve the corresponding seismic hazard estimates. Analysis of 869 well-constrained full moment tensors (M-w 0.8-3.5) reveals significant non-double-couple components (>25\%) for about 65\% of the events. Volumetric deformation is governed by cumulative injection rates with larger non-double-couple components observed near the wells and during high injection periods. Source mechanisms are magnitude dependent and vary significantly between faulting regimes. Normal faulting events (M-w<2) reveal substantial volumetric components indicating dilatancy in contrast to strike-slip events that have a dominant double-couple source. Volumetric components indicating closure of cracks in the source region are mostly found for reverse faulting events with M-w>2.5. Our results imply that source processes and magnitudes of fluid-induced seismic events are strongly affected by the hydraulic operations, the reservoir stress state, and the faulting regime.}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Mihan2017, author = {Mihan, Juliane Irma}, title = {Vollst{\"a}ndige Gleichberechtigung und Gleichverpflichtung}, series = {Potsdamer j{\"u}dische Studien ; 2}, journal = {Potsdamer j{\"u}dische Studien ; 2}, publisher = {bebra wissenschaft verlag}, address = {Berlin}, isbn = {978-3-95410-091-0}, pages = {235}, year = {2017}, abstract = {1850 wurde in Lengsfeld, einer Kleinstadt im Großherzogtum Sachsen-Weimar Eisenach, eine j{\"u}disch-christliche Simultanschule gegr{\"u}ndet.

Little is known about changes in serum concentration after living donor kidney transplantation (LDKT) as a consequence of unilateral nephrectomy; although an association of these parameters with the risk of cardiovascular diseases and insulin resistance has been suggested. Therefore we analyzed the concentration of retinol, RBP4, apoRBP4 and transthyretin in serum of 20 living-kidney donors and respective recipients at baseline as well as 6 weeks and 6 months after LDKT. Results As a consequence of LDKT, the kidney function of recipients was improved while the kidney function of donors was moderately reduced within 6 weeks after LDKT. With regard to vitamin A metabolism, the recipients revealed higher levels of retinol, RBP4, transthyretin and apoRBP4 before LDKT in comparison to donors. After LDKT, the levels of all four parameters decreased in serum of the recipients, while retinol, RBP4 as well as apoRBP4 serum levels of donors increased and remained increased during the follow-up period of 6 months. Conclusion LDKT is generally regarded as beneficial for allograft recipients and not particularly detrimental for the donors. However, it could be demonstrated in this study that a moderate reduction of kidney function by unilateral nephrectomy, resulted in an imbalance of components of vitamin A metabolism with a significant increase of retinol and RBP4 and apoRBP4 concentration in serum of donors.}, language = {en} } @article{KocJanuchtaHoefflerThomaetal.2017, author = {Koc-Januchta, Marta and H{\"o}ffler, Tim and Thoma, Gun-Brit and Prechtl, Helmut and Leutner, Detlev}, title = {Visualizers versus verbalizers}, series = {Computers in human behavior}, volume = {68}, journal = {Computers in human behavior}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Oxford}, issn = {0747-5632}, doi = {10.1016/j.chb.2016.11.028}, pages = {170 -- 179}, year = {2017}, abstract = {This study was conducted in order to examine the differences between visualizers and verbalizers in the way they gaze at pictures and texts while learning.

Eye-tracking was used to investigate their gaze behavior. The results show that visualizers spent significantly more time inspecting pictures than verbalizers, while verbalizers spent more time inspecting texts. Results also suggest that both visualizers' and verbalizers' way of learning is active but mostly within areas providing the source of information in line with their cognitive style (pictures or text). Verbalizers tended to enter non-informative, irrelevant areas of pictures sooner than visualizers.
