We model on two different scales to analyse in how far downscaling leads to a different set of predictors to describe the realised habitat best. While the models on macroscale (grid of one square kilometre) cover the entire country, we select a set of smaller plots for modelling on territory scale. Whereas ring ouzels occur in altitudes above 1'000 m a.s.l. only, blackbirds occur from the lowlands up to the timber line. The altitudinal range overlap of the two species is up to 400 m. Despite both species coexist on macroscale, a direct niche overlap on territory scale is rare. Small-scale differences in vegetation cover and structure seem to play a dominant role for habitat selection. On macroscale however, we observe a high dependency on climatic variables mainly representing the altitudinal range and the related forest structure preferred by the two species. Applying the models for climate change scenarios, we predict a decline of suitable habitat for the ring ouzel with a simultaneous median altitudinal shift of +440 m until 2070. In contrast, the blackbird is predicted to benefit from higher temperatures and expand its range to higher elevations.}, language = {en} } @techreport{Gruševaja2006, type = {Working Paper}, author = {Gruševaja, Marina}, title = {Do institutions matter?}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-14485}, year = {2006}, abstract = {Contens 1 Introduction 2 Institutions and the Institutional Change 2.1 Institutions and Theoretical Concepts in Economics 2.2 Path Dependence 2.3 Inconsistence of Institutional Development 2.4 Determinants of Effectiveness 2.5 Efficiency of New Institutions 3 What is "Competition Policy"? 4 The Competition Policy in Russia as an Institution 4.1 Establishment of the Competition Policy as an Institution 4.2 Market Structure and Competition Policy 4.3 Measures of Competition Policy 4.3.1 Prohibition of Competition Restrictive Agreements or Concerted Actions 4.3.2 Abuse of Dominance 4.3.3 Merger Control 4.3.4 Restrictive Action to Competition of Administrative Bodies 4.4 Violations of the Competition Law 4.5 Problems of the Russian Competition Policy 5 Which Mistakes Russia has made with the Implementation of theCompetition Policy? 6 Is a Lacking Effectiveness of Transplanted Institutions Inevitable? 7 Concluding Remarks}, language = {en} } @techreport{BlienSanner2006, type = {Working Paper}, author = {Blien, Uwe and Sanner, Helge}, title = {Structural change and regional employment dynamics}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-14425}, year = {2006}, abstract = {A casual look at regional unemployment rates reveals that there are vast differences, which cannot be explained by different institutional settings.

We then assess the importance of the initial conditions by simulating and comparing the resulting distribution of firms for identical economic parameters but varying initial settings. If the equilibrium distributions of firms are similar we conclude that economic forces have prevailed, while differences in the resulting distributions indicate that 'history' is more important.

Im ihrem Artikel zeigen Mackaay und Picken,dass es eine bijektive Korrespodenz zwischen Deligne 2-Klassen \$\xi \in \check{H}^2(M, \mathcal{D}^2)\$ und Holonomie Abbildungen von der zweiten d{\"u}nnen Homotopiegruppe \$\pi_2^2(M)\$ in die abelsche Gruppe \$U(1)\$ gibt. Im zweiten Artikel wird eine Verallgemeinerung dieses Theorems bewiesen: Picken zeigt, dass es eine Bijektion gibt zwischen Deligne 2-Kozykeln und gewissen 2-dimensionalen topologischen Quantenfeldtheorien. In dieser Arbeit zeigen wir, dass diese beiden Theoreme in allen Dimensionen gelten.Wir betrachten zun{\"a}chst den Holonomie Fall und k{\"o}nnen mittels simplizialen Methoden nachweisen, dass die Gruppe der glatten Deligne \$d\$-Klassen isomorph ist zu der Gruppe der glatten Holonomie Abbildungen von der \$d\$-ten d{\"u}nnen Homotopiegruppe \$\pi_d^d(M)\$ nach \$U(1)\$, sofern \$M\$ eine \$(d-1)\$-zusammenh{\"a}ngende Mannigfaltigkeit ist. Wir vergleichen dieses Resultat mit einem Satz von Gajer (1999). Gajer zeigte, dass jede Deligne \$d\$-Klasse durch eine andere Klasse von Holonomie-Abbildungen rekonstruiert werden kann, die aber nicht nur Holonomien entlang von Sph{\"a}ren, sondern auch entlang von allgemeinen \$d\$-Mannigfaltigkeiten in \$M\$ enth{\"a}lt. Dieser Zugang ben{\"o}tigt dann aber nicht, dass \$M\$ hoch-zusammenh{\"a}ngend ist. Wir zeigen, dass im Falle von flachen Deligne \$d\$-Klassen unser Rekonstruktionstheorem sich von Gajers unterscheidet, sofern \$M\$ nicht als \$(d-1)\$, sondern nur als \$(d-2)\$-zusammenh{\"a}ngend angenommen wird. Stiefel Mannigfaltigkeiten besitzen genau diese Eigenschaft, und wendet man unser Theorem auf diese an und vergleicht das Resultat mit dem von Gajer, so zeigt sich, dass es zuviele Deligne Klassen rekonstruiert. Dies bedeutet, dass unser Rekonstruktionsthreorem ohne die Zusatzbedingungen an die Mannigfaltigkeit M nicht auskommt, d.h. unsere Rekonstruktion ben{\"o}tigt zwar weniger Informationen {\"u}ber die Holonomie entlang von d-dimensionalen Mannigfaltigkeiten, aber daf{\"u}r muss M auch \$(d-1)\$-zusammenh{\"a}ngend angenommen werden.

Wir beweisen, dass jede \$d\$-dimensionale topologische Quantenfeldtheorie nach Picken mit diesen zwei Eigenschaften auch eine Deligne \$d\$-Klasse definiert und pr{\"u}fen nach, dass diese Konstruktion sowohl surjektiv als auch injektiv ist.

Gebiet der russischen Exklave Kaliningrad und der polnischen Woiwodschaft Ermland-Masuren) erstellt. Zur Charakterisierung der Beziehung zwischen dem Weißstorch und der Beschaffenheit seiner Umwelt wurden verschiedene historische Datens{\"a}tze {\"u}ber den Bestand des Weißstorches in den 1930er Jahren sowie ausgew{\"a}hlte Variablen zur Habitat-Beschreibung genutzt. Die Aufbereitung und Modellierung der verwendeten Datens{\"a}tze erfolgte mit Hilfe eines geographischen Informationssystems (ArcGIS) und einer statistisch-mathematischen Methode aus den Bereichen „Machine Learning" und „Data-Mining" (TreeNet, Salford Systems Ltd.). Unter Verwendung der historischen Habitat-Parameter sowie der Daten zum Vorkommen des Weißstorches wurden quantitative Modelle auf zwei Maßstabs-Ebenen erstellt: (i) auf Punktskala unter Verwendung eines Rasters mit einer Zellgr{\"o}ße von 1 km und (ii) auf Verwaltungs-Kreisebene basierend auf der Gliederung der Provinz Ostpreußen in ihre Landkreise. Die Auswertung der erstellten Modelle zeigt, dass das Vorkommen von Storchennestern im ehemaligen Ostpreußen, unter Ber{\"u}cksichtigung der hier verwendeten Variablen, maßgeblich durch die Variablen ‚forest', ‚settlement area', ‚pasture land' und ‚coastline' bestimmt wird. Folglich l{\"a}sst sich davon ausgehen, dass eine gute Nahrungsverf{\"u}gbarkeit, wie der Weißstorch sie auf Wiesen und Weiden findet, sowie die N{\"a}he zu menschlichen Siedlungen ausschlaggebend f{\"u}r die Nistplatzwahl des Weißstorches in Ostpreußen sind. Geschlossene Waldgebiete zeigen sich in den Modellen als Standorte f{\"u}r Horste des Weißstorches ungeeignet. Der starke Einfluss der Variable ‚coastline' l{\"a}sst sich h{\"o}chstwahrscheinlich durch die starke naturr{\"a}umliche Gliederung Ostpreußens parallel zur K{\"u}stenlinie erkl{\"a}ren. In einem zweiten Schritt konnte unter Verwendung der in dieser Arbeit erstellten Modelle auf beiden Skalen Vorhersagen f{\"u}r den Zeitraum 1981-1993 getroffen werden. Dabei wurde auf dem Punktmaßstab eine Abnahme an potentiellem Bruthabitat vorhergesagt. Im Gegensatz dazu steigt die vorhergesagte Weißstorchdichte unter Verwendung des Modells auf Verwaltungs-Kreisebene. Der Unterschied zwischen beiden Vorhersagen beruht vermutlich auf der Verwendung unterschiedlicher Skalen und von zum Teil voneinander verschiedenen erkl{\"a}renden Variablen. Weiterf{\"u}hrende Untersuchungen sind notwendig, um diesen Sachverhalt zu kl{\"a}ren. Des Weiteren konnten die Modellvorhersagen f{\"u}r den Zeitraum 1981-1993 mit den vorliegenden Bestandserfassungen aus dieser Zeit deskriptiv verglichen werden. Es zeigt sich hierbei, dass die hier vorhergesagten Bestandszahlen h{\"o}her sind als die in den Z{\"a}hlungen ermittelten. Die hier erstellten Modelle beschreiben somit vielmehr die Kapazit{\"a}t des Habitats. Andere Faktoren, die die Gr{\"o}ße der Weißstorch-Population bestimmen, wie z.B. Bruterfolg oder Mortalit{\"a}t sollten in zuk{\"u}nftige Untersuchungen mit einbezogen werden. Es wurde ein m{\"o}glicher Ansatz aufgezeigt, wie man mit den hier vorgestellten Methoden und unter Verwendung historischer Daten wertvolle Habitatmodelle erstellen sowie die Auswirkung von Landnutzungs{\"a}nderungen auf den Weißstorch beurteilen kann.
