Arne Bünger leistet mit den Ergebnissen seiner Untersuchungen der Innovations- und Adaptionsfähigkeit, der Nachhaltigkeitsorientierung sowie der Identifizierung von verschiedenen Akteurstypen in der Schweine- und Geflügelproduktion einerseits und der Algen- und Insektenproduktion andererseits einen Beitrag zum besseren Verständnis von sozio-technischen Transformationen und stärkt den bislang unterrepräsentierten Raum- und Akteursbezug in der Transformationsforschung. Dies und eine Analyse von Innovationspotenzialen und Nachhaltigkeitsorientierung im tri-nationalen Vergleich tragen zur Schließung von aktuellen Forschungslücken bei.
The agricultural and food sector offers great potential for social transformation toward greater sustainability. In particular, the renunciation of the consumption of food of animal origin is expected to significantly reduce diet-related greenhouse gas emissions. Nevertheless, the development of consumer habits tends to point to an opposite trend: On a global level, the demand for animal products is increasing and with it the demand for feed components - above all raw protein, which has so far been provided mainly by soybean production in North and South America, but which must be critically examined from an economic, social and ecological perspective. In order to secure the continuously inc...
Dekarbonisierung, zirkuläres Wirtschaften, Umweltgerechtigkeit und Postwachstum – diese und andere Ansätze prägen die Debatten um eine sozial-ökologische Transformation in Zeiten von Klimawandel, Ressourcenknappheit und Biodiversitätsverlust. Mit Bezug auf aktuelle Debatten und mittels eingängiger sektoraler und regionaler Beispiele illustrieren Julia Affolderbach und Christian Schulz die theoretisch-konzeptionellen Grundlagen sowie die Anwendungsbereiche der wirtschaftsgeographischen Nachhaltigkeits- forschung. In der Rubrik "Raus ins Feld" kommen in Interviews und Kurzportraits Praktiker:innen, Forschende und Studierende zu Wort, die aus ihrer Arbeit berichten.
A turn of the year is a transition celebrated in services predominantly in the Protestant church. Ute Nürnberg analyses eleven church hymns and the relevant sections in German and Swiss hymn books and traces the theological interpretation of this time of the year across five centuries. She shows how the circumcision and naming of Jesus, originally celebrated on January 1st, slowly lost significance and were gradually replaced by the New Year's celebrations. This change in emphasis resulted in time itself becoming the dominating subject – and filled a gap in the ecclesiastical calendar: The feast now provided time to reflect on one's own life, the time given by God, and daily events in relation to Gods' eternity. This fresh approach to New Year hymnology opens up new fields for discussions and topical questions.
This special issue of the Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology presents much of the research described at the recent 2nd International Tissue Engineering Conference held in Crete in May 2005. The conference brought together over 150 researchers from around the world to examine the emerging and most advanced aspects of their particular field. The chapters reflect a diverse group of authors, including both clinicians and academicians.
