  abstract  = {Kinder, die mit Variationen der Geschlechtsmerkmale zur Welt kommen, werden in den ersten Lebensjahren h{\"a}ufig geschlechtsver{\"a}ndernden medizinischen Eingriffen unterzogen. Dabei wird die stellvertretende Einwilligung der Eltern als zul{\"a}ssig erachtet, um den medizinischen Eingriff zu legitimieren. Diese Maßnahmen stehen jedoch zunehmend in der Kritik und werden als Verstoß gegen die Selbstbestimmung von Kindern und Jugendlichen sowie als Verletzung wesentlicher Grund- und Menschenrechte gewertet. Obwohl sich aktuelle Empfehlungen und Leitlinien zunehmend an den Rechten und dem Wohl von intergeschlechtlichen Minderj{\"a}hrigen orientieren, ist die Anzahl der geschlechtsver{\"a}ndernden Eingriffe in den letzten Jahren dennoch relativ konstant geblieben. Hieraus ergibt sich ein aktueller Handlungsbedarf. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird an den Rechten von intergeschlechtlichen Minderj{\"a}hrigen angekn{\"u}pft. Dabei liegt der Fokus auf den Selbstbestimmungsrechten von intergeschlechtlichen Kindern und Jugendlichen. In der Literatur ist umstritten, inwiefern Minderj{\"a}hrigen eigene Selbstbestimmungsrechte zustehen und sie diese selbst aus{\"u}ben k{\"o}nnen. Im Rahmen der Masterarbeit wird daher zun{\"a}chst erarbeitet, in welchem Verh{\"a}ltnis Elternrechte und Selbstbestimmungsrechte von intergeschlechtlichen Minderj{\"a}hrigen im aktuellen Familienrecht stehen. Daraus wird abgeleitet, welche M{\"o}glichkeiten und Grenzen der Selbstbestimmung und Stellvertretung bei geschlechtsver{\"a}ndernden medizinischen Eingriffen bestehen. Hierbei zeigt sich, dass gerade nicht medizinisch indizierte Eingriffe, die auf eine „Angleichung" des Geschlechts an bestehende Geschlechternormen ausgerichtet sind, gegen das Kindeswohl sowie Grundrechte verstoßen und Minderj{\"a}hrigen wesentliche M{\"o}glichkeiten f{\"u}r eine selbstbestimmte Lebensf{\"u}hrung nehmen. Wirksame familienrechtliche Schutzm{\"o}glichkeiten bestehen jedoch nicht. Als Perspektive wird daher ein Gesetzesentwurf des Deutschen Instituts f{\"u}r Menschenrechte auf seinen Schutzgehalt f{\"u}r intergeschlechtliche Minderj{\"a}hrige untersucht. Neben wenigen Kritikpunkten zeigt sich, dass das „Geschlechtervielfaltsgesetz" zum Schutz und zur Selbstbestimmung intergeschlechtlicher Minderj{\"a}hriger beitragen k{\"o}nnte. Erg{\"a}nzend zu einer gesetzlichen Klarstellung, ist jedoch auch Beratung und Unterst{\"u}tzung f{\"u}r intergeschlechtliche Kinder, Jugendliche und ihre Eltern erforderlich. Aus diesem Grund werden M{\"o}glichkeiten der Sozialen Arbeit zur F{\"o}rderung geschlechtlicher Vielfalt entwickelt und Beratungs- und Unterst{\"u}tzungsans{\"a}tze dargestellt. Insgesamt zeigt sich jedoch, dass auch ein gesellschaftliches Umdenken notwendig ist, um intergeschlechtlichen Menschen Selbstbestimmung {\"u}ber ihren K{\"o}rper und die eigene geschlechtliche Identit{\"a}t zu erm{\"o}glichen.},

  abstract  = {Urbanization processes are one of the main factors for habitat loss and fragmentation, driving global biodiversity loss and species extinction. The neotropical Atlantic forest in Brazil is considered a global key biodiversity hotspot and used to be one of the most extensive forests of the Americas. Due to substantial deforestation over centuries, its landscape was transformed into a mosaic of small forest fragments surrounded by a predominantly agricultural matrix. Urban expansion and rural urbanization have created peri-urban zones, which still can harbor natural habitat remnants, contributing to biological diversity and thus providing essential ecosystem services to urban and rural areas. The maintenance of such ecosystem services requires an understanding of the ecological processes in the ecosystem. A prerequisite for such an in-depth insight is the quantification of the underlying ecosystem functions. The ecosystem function pest control, a trophic interaction between insectivorous birds and herbivorous arthropods, was quantified in an empirical study using artificial caterpillars as prey models. This technique allows the identification of predator groups and the assessment of their predation rates. A total of 888 plasticine caterpillars were distributed at eight sites in secondary forest fragments surrounding the university campus of the federal university of S{\~a}o Carlos (UFScar) in peri-urban Sorocaba, southeastern Brazil. In sixteen point counts, 72 insect-eating birds, belonging to 19 species, were identified as possible artificial caterpillar attackers. Local habitat variables were measured to describe the forest vegetation structure and the landscape context. The study aimed to assess which structural components of the forest fragments, together with the recorded bird community variables (abundance, richness, αdiversity), best explain the estimated predation rates by birds. The mean predation rate for birds was 8.25 ± 6.3 \% for a reference period of eight days, representing the first quantification of the ecosystem function pest control for the study area. The three treatments of caterpillar placement heights (ground, stem: 0.5 -1.0 m, leaf: 1.5 - 2.0 m) were the best and only estimator to explain bird predation rates. The little dense understory and ground vegetation might have facilitated the accessibility of artificial caterpillars, especially for carnivorous arthropods and birds. The detected contrast in their foraging and predation patterns suggests that arthropods and birds complement each other in their function of pest control. Bird predation rates were found to be negatively related to the vegetation structure. Thus, more open habitats, with less understory and low tree density, but high canopy cover and including dead trees were correlated with the highest predation rates and also exhibited more specialized forest-dependent bird species. This study confirms the importance of the maintenance of forest fragments in peri-urban areas, even if they are small, to preserve forest-associated birds, to contribute to the biological diversity on a broader scale, and to prevent the loss of ecosystem functions and services, mitigating some of the adverse effects of urbanization. Further investigation of the effect among the three treatments of caterpillar placement on the predation rates is encouraged, including comparative studies among different habitat types. For future studies, it is recommended to model the avian community variables with the vegetation structure measures to predict habitat preferences of insectivorous birds. Therefore, the sampling of more units and on a bigger scale, including over a more extended period, is necessary to improve the robustness of the results, which could provide the basis for a monetary analysis of the ecosystem service pest control by birds.},

  abstract  = {Habitat loss due to land use and land cover change (LUCC) has been identified as the main cause of global environmental change, responsible for biodiversity decline and the deterioration of ecological processes. Habitat loss and fragmentation have been driven by processes of LUCC such as deforestation, agricultural expansion and intensification, urbanization, and globalization. The objective of this research was to determine the effects of LUCC on the process of habitat loss and the patterns of fragmentation in the surrounding landscape of the Pacuare Reserve (PR) in the Caribbean lowlands of Costa Rica. The PR is a protected area of 800 ha surrounded by an agricultural landscape with a history of over 150 years of bananas monocultures. Landsat satellite images from 1978 to 2020 were used to conduct a temporal analysis of LUCC around the PR. Patterns of change were explored using landscape metrics from the land classification images. To explore potential connectivity routes, the least cost path analysis was used to connect the PR to other protected areas. Overall, forest cover decreased in the study area at a rate of -4.8\% per year during the period of 1992-1997. In the year 2001 it reached its lowest cover and then increased at a mean annual rate of 1.6\%. A mean overall accuracy of 92\% was obtained for the land classification process. A clear fragmentation process was observed, as shown by a decreased in forest mean patch area and largest patch index and by the increase in patch density. Although forest cover increased in the last decade, fragmentation metrics suggest this recover happened in a spatially scattered manner, due to agricultural land abandonment. Connectivity maps showed the importance of forest fragments and of the already established biological corridors for the movement of species to and from the PR, however it also evidenced the lack of connectivity between the coastal forest fragments and further inside the country located protected areas, as well as the need to promote reforestation projects, particularly between fragments of the corridors identified.},

  abstract  = {Resilience in relation to flood risk management (FRM) is not a new concept, yet parts of the FRM community are still struggling to apply it. The main challenge this study addresses is the question as to whether parts of the FRM community should still adopt, or rather "leap-frog," resilience. The main purpose is to evaluate whether resilience is a still on-going trend or, already subsiding. Research suggests that resilience is an on-going trend that connects research and policy and has gained international recognition as expressed by international guidelines and bodies promoting its research but also its operationalization. Academic literature in the area of FRM also shows a significant continuing development. Resilience enables to analyze dynamics and transformations of riverine areas, or coastal zones in connection to an integrated social-environmental system approach with more emphasis and conceptual basis than previous concepts. Resilience is more than a short-lived notion and it appears that FRM researchers cannot avoid addressing it. Resilience often is a convergence of ideas and mainstreaming of efforts, which in many venues is absolutely necessary and can help, for example, to decrease silo-thinking. But as academics, we have a mandate to remain skeptical and remain on the look-out for novel ideas, too. This article is categorized under: Engineering Water > Planning Water},

  abstract  = {Starmerella bombicola is known to produce sub-terminally hydroxylated lactonic sophorolipids (SLs), while Candida kuoi synthesizes acidic open chain SLs with terminally hydroxylated fatty acids. Upon feeding glucose and fatty alcohols both strains form long-chain nonionic SLs. According to structure elucidation the SLs consist of a hydroxylated fatty acid esterified with fatty alcohol and linked via a glycoside bond to the diacetylated sophorose unit. Palmityl, stearyl, and oleyl alcohols lead to products with lipid chain lengths of C32 or C36. Oleyl alcohol is the preferred substrate leading to 45 g L-1 of the double unsaturated C36 SL with S. bombicola and 20 g L-1 with C. kuoi. Scale up from shake flask to 1.5 L fermentations is possible and 65 g L-1 long-chain SLs are obtained with S. bombicola within 7 days. Mixed feeding of oleic acid and a variety of fatty alcohols leads to new long-chain SLs. In the presence of oleic acid the yeasts do not oxidize the fatty alcohol and thus the production of biosurfactants with tailored chain length is possible. The long-chain SLs show good emulsification ability of water/paraffin oil mixtures at low energy input and reduced interfacial tension significantly. Practical Applications: Sophorolipids are produced by fermentation on industrial scale focusing on cleaning and detergent applications. Mainly lactonic or anionic open-chain forms are used today. The new long-chain SLs presented in this manuscript are accessible with existing production technology and can be produced with high titers from cost-efficient renewable raw materials. In contrast to the commercial products the long-chain SLs are more hydrophobic and exhibit a strong emulsification behavior. Therefore they have the potential to broaden the application range of SLs in future. They may be useful as novel emulsifiers for cosmetic creams and lotions, pharmaceutical ointments and food products or may find application in oil spill remediation.},

Freezing the sediment in situ offers a promising method for obtaining gas-bearing sediment samples, unaffected by changes in hydrostatic pressure and sample temperature during core withdrawal and subsequent analysis. This article presents a novel freeze coring technique to preserve the in situ stratigraphy and gas bubble characteristics. Nondestructive X-ray computed tomography (CT) scans were used to identify and characterize coring disturbances of gravity and freeze cores associated with gassy sediment, as well as the effect of the freezing process on the gas bubble characteristics. Real-time X-ray CT scans were conducted to visualize the progression of the freezing process. Additional experiments were conducted to determine the freezing rate to assess the probability of sediment particle/bubble migration, and gas bubble nucleation at the phase transition of pore water to ice. The performance of the freeze coring technique was evaluated under field conditions in Olsberg and Urft Reservoir (Germany). The results demonstrate the capability of the freeze coring technique for the preservation of gas-bearing sediments and the analysis of gas bubble distribution pattern in both reservoirs. Nevertheless, the obtained cores showed that nearly all gravity and freeze cores show some degree of coring disturbances.},
