Growth and final body size exhibit marked plastic responses to ecological conditions. Among the shortest are the pygmoid people of Rampasasa, Flores, Indonesia, who still live under most secluded insular conditions. Genetics and nutrition are usually considered responsible for the poor growth in many parts of this world, but evidence is accumulating on the prominent impact of social embedding on child growth. Secular trends not only in the growth of height, but also in body proportions, accompany the secular changes in the social, economic and political conditions, with major influences on the emotional and educational circumstances under which the children grow up (Bogin, 2021). Aspects of developmental tempo and aspects of sports were discussed, and the impact of migration by the example of women from Bangladesh who grew up in the UK. Child growth was considered in particular from the point of view of strategic adjustments of individual size within the network of its social group. Theoretical considerations on network characteristics were presented and related to the evolutionary conservation of growth regulating hypothalamic neuropeptides that have been shown to link behavior and physical growth in the vertebrate species. New statistical approaches were presented for the evaluation of short term growth measurements that permit monitoring child growth at intervals of a few days and weeks.}, language = {en} } @article{Mawa2020, author = {Mawa, Michael}, title = {The Sustainability Mechanisms for Higher Education Quality Assurance Training in Uganda}, series = {Potsdamer Beitr{\"a}ge zur Hochschulforschung}, journal = {Potsdamer Beitr{\"a}ge zur Hochschulforschung}, number = {5}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, isbn = {978-3-86956-496-8}, issn = {2192-1075}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-49393}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-493931}, pages = {205 -- 223}, year = {2020}, abstract = {The paper investigates the question of sustainability of capacity building initiatives by reporting about the multiplication training in the frame of DIES NMT Programme on quality assurance in Uganda and how it could make use of the social capital within the existing quality assurance network to sustain and address challenges during its implementation.

Trotz ihres vielf{\"a}ltigen Potenzials nimmt die SNA in der geographischen Methodenausbildung in Deutschland bisher einen eher untergeordneten Stellenwert ein. Dieses Buch richtet sich an Studentinnen und Studenten, die sich f{\"u}r (humangeographische) empirische Netzwerkforschung interessieren und einen einfachen Einstieg suchen.
