Abstract

Für erwachsene ehemalige "PISA-Risikoschüler" und -schülerinnen bestätigen Forschungsstudien wiederkehrend die Feststellung, dass diese Personengruppe nicht über die funktionalen Lesekompetenzen - "vor dem Komma" - verfügt und daher linear-kausal höchstwahrscheinlich nicht in sämtlichen Lebensbereichen teilhaben kann. Erlauben jedoch die psychometrischen Tests tatsächlich eine Aussage über die Inklusion in Arbeit im Beschäftigungssystem der tätigkeitsbezogenen qualifizierten Arbeitsplätze? Kann die Relation von Bildung und Teilhabe (in Arbeit) lediglich über den Voraussetzungscharakter von Bildung erschlossen werden? Dieser übergeordneten Perspektive folgend, wird das Lesen kulturwissenschaftlich verortet und werden die dahinterliegenden Verarbeitungsmodelle von arbiträren Zeichen erweitert, um textuellen Anforderungen on-the-job überhaupt ressourcenorientiert empirisch nachgehen zu können. Abschließende empirische Studien beschäftigen sich mit der Annäherung, ob "PISA-Risikoschüler" und -schülerinnen über die Lesekompetenz multikodaler Texte und Textkomplexe (aus zuvorderst kategorialen Tabellen, Grafiken etc. und einzelnen Wörtern bis kurzen Absätzen) verfügen, mit denen sie sich in einer Auswahl von Arbeitsplätzen konfrontiert sehen.

Abstract

Algae have been used since ancient times as food for humans, animal feed, agricultural fertilizer, and as a source of substances for therapeutic use. Currently, seaweed represents a vast source of raw materials used in the pharmaceutical, food, traditional medicine, and cosmetics industries. They are nutritionally valuable, both fresh and dried, or as ingredients in a wide variety of pre-made foods. In particular, seaweed contains significant amounts of protein, lipids, minerals, and vitamins. Information is limited on the role of algae and their metabolites in therapy. Only a few taxa have been studied for use in medicine. Many traditional cultures report the healing powers of selected algae in tropical and subtropical marine forms. This is especially true in the maritime areas of Asia, where the sea plays a significant role in daily activities. However, currently, only a few genera and species of algae are involved in aspects of medicine and therapy. The beneficial uses of seaweed or seaweed products include those that can mimic specific manifestations of human disease, production of antibiotic compounds, or improved human nutrition.

Abstract

In the last two decades, we have witnessed the evolution of the energy sector. Many countries throughout the world have been shifting their energy production methods from fossil fuel use to more environmentally friendly methods. These methods are described by the term “Renewable Energy Methods” and entail the production of energy from Renewable Energy Sources (RES) based on wind, water, biomass, solar energy, and geothermal energy. This shift is mainly driven by the increase in public awareness of environmental problems and climate change, which are both related to the increase in Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions. The main goal of this Special Issue is to determine methodologies that can be applied in education in order to raise the awareness of students as well as their families about issues related to renewable sources and energy conservation. Furthermore, the authors studied the factors, parameters, and criteria that affect the decision-making involved in the selection of appropriate types of renewable energy sources in order to select the optimal form, both financially and environmentally. Finally, an attempt is made to recognize methods for communicating the usage of RES and energy savings to the public. Such communication methods are necessary because, in many communities, there are issues surrounding the acceptance of RES installation, as the public considers them to be factors of environmental degradation.

Abstract

The bioeconomy concept aims to add sustainability to the production, transformation, and trade of biological goods. Though implemented around the world, the development of national bioeconomies is uneven, especially in the global South, where major challenges exist in Sub-Saharan Africa. In this context, the international BiomassWeb project aimed to underpin the bioeconomy concept by applying the value web approach, which seeks to uncover complex interlinked value webs instead of linear value chains. The project also aimed to develop intervention options to strengthen and optimize the synergies and trade-offs among different value chains. The Special Issue “Advances in Food and Non-Food Biomass Production, Processing and Use in Sub-Saharan Africa: Toward a Basis for a Regional Bioeconomy"" compiles 23 articles produced in this framework. The articles are grouped in four sections: the value web approach; the production side; processing, transformation and trade; and global views.
