The 13th Annual Meeting of the Sponsoring Group Reinsurance was held 26 June 2020. Due to COVID-19, the event was held online this year. Some 80 representatives of the (re)insurance companies involved in the Sponsoring Group took part in the meeting, along with guests. Offered for the sixth time as part of the Annual Meeting, the Researchers’ Corner gave the seven academic researchers at the Cologne Research Centre for Reinsurance an opportunity to deliver a presentation on the research project each in which each is involved in 2020.
In three sessions – each featuring 2-3 parallel lectures with posters – the most important results of the scientific studies by the Cologne Research Centre for
Reinsurance were presented and discussed. The heterogeneity of the topics
presented by academic staff reflects the dovetailing of Cologne Research Centre with reinsurance practice.

Despite great efforts to develop a vaccine against human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which causes AIDS if untreated, no approved HIV vaccine is available to date. A promising class of vaccines are virus-like particles (VLPs), which were shown to be very effective for the prevention of other diseases. In this study, production of HI-VLPs using different 293F cell lines, followed by a three-step purification of HI-VLPs, was conducted. The quality-by-design-based process development was supported by process analytical technology (PAT). The HI-VLP concentration increased 12.5-fold while >80% purity was achieved. This article reports on the first general process development and optimization up to purification. Further research will focus on process development for polishing and formulation up to lyophilization. In addition, process analytical technology and process modeling for process automation and optimization by digital twins in the context of quality-by-design framework will be developed.
Before transporting the landfill leachate to municipal wastewater treatment plant it has to be treated in a landfill leachate treatment plant, as it comprises high concentrations of ammonium. The elimination of ammonium load in the leachate is usually done by the combined processes of nitrification and denitrification with a specially adapted biocenosis in the activated sludge (AS). For each of the steps, specialized bacteria such as Nitrosomonas, Nitrobacter and Paracoccus are used to transfer the ammonia to gaseous nitrogen. The aim of this investigation was to find suitable process parameters for a complementary treatment of fermentation water from a biogas plant together with landfill leachate. The processed water of the biogas plant consists of a higher concentration of ammonium and carbon sources or easily degradable volatile fatty acids. It can save the usage of external carbon source (acetic acid) and additionally it could also compensate the missing volumes of leachate in times of low rain and low leachate flows. To maintain the high workload for the existing leachate treatment pilot plant (LTPP), a combined treatment of landfill leachate and process water is also of economic and of ecological interest. The long-term adaption process of the biocenosis needs to be done step-by-step. Innovative process monitoring is needed to prevent biocenosis collapse. In our study, we present our set-up, a closer look at the ongoing experiment and the long-term changes in the biocenosis.
Die Diplomarbeit entstand in Zusammenarbeit mit der Firma Pferd Rüggeberg. Die Grundlage kam von der Marketingabteilung, die eine Mutlimediadatenbank (MMDB) erstellen wollte. Die Daten der MMDB sollten zur Grundlage eines Produktkataloges auf CD-Rom, Internet und als Druckvorstufe dienen. Der erste Gedanke war die Erstellung einer völlig unabhängigen Datenbank auf der Basis von ORACLE. Da in der Firma jedoch SAP/R3 eingeführt wurde, kam nach einem Gespräch mit der EDV-Abteilung heraus, daß der Produktkatalog auf der Basis von SAP erstellt werden soll. Ziel der Arbeit ist es, mit den Möglichkeiten die durch SAP gegeben sind, einen Produktkatalog im Internet darzustellen. Die Realisation und die Werkzeuge die vorgestellt werden, befinden sich in der Version SAP 3.1 g.
Obwohl innerhalb des neueren Professionalisierungsdiskurses der Sozialen Arbeit zunehmend das Wissen und Können von Berufspraktiker*innen in der Praxis fokussiert wird, ist das Professionswissen der Sozialen Arbeit ein bislang nur sehr gering beforschtes Feld. Zentral wird hierbei im Diskurs stets thematisiert und diskutiert, welches Wissen professionell handelnde Sozialarbeitende in der Praxis benötigen, wie sich dieses strukturiert und welche Relevanz dabei dem wissenschaftlich fundierten Wissen zukommt. In dieser Bachelorthesis soll daran anknüpfend aufgezeigt werden, wie das Wissen zu den Zusammenhängen zwischen Substanzabhängigkeit, Fluchtmigration und Integrationsprozessen im Aufnahmeland bei Sozialarbeitenden des noch recht jungen Handlungsfeldes substanzabhängiger Geflüchteter in der niedrigschwelligen Suchthilfe verhandelt sowie strukturiert und genutzt wird. Dabei soll ebenfalls untersucht werden, wie die Wissensinhalte Einzug in die Praxis erhalten und welchen Veränderungen sie dort im Arbeitsalltag unterliegen. Hierzu wurden Leitfadeninterviews mit Sozialarbeitenden geführt, welche in verschiedenen Einrichtungen innerhalb der niedrigschwelligen Suchthilfe tätig sind. Eine zentrale Erkenntnis dieser Thesis stellt dabei dar, dass die Sozialarbeitenden grundsätzlich über ausreichendes theoretisches Rahmenwissen verfügen und versuchen dieses in den Praxisalltag zu integrieren, die Gegebenheiten innerhalb eines Handlungsfeldes in verschiedenen Einrichtungen beziehungsweise Städten jedoch ebenso wie die Erfahrungen und Formen der Berührungspunkte mit der Klientel so unterschiedlich ausfallen können, dass theoretisches Wissenschaftswissen nie vollständig auf einen konkreten Einzelfall bezogen werden kann, sondern immer als Hintergrundwissen im oftmals erfahrungsgeleiteten Handeln mitschwingt, was zwangsläufig einer kontinuierlichen Reflexion mit den Grenzen des eigenen Wissens bedarf. Wie dies konkret innerhalb der niedrigschwelligen Suchthilfe im Kontakt mit geflüchteten substanzabhängigen Menschen geschieht, wird innerhalb dieser Thesis abgebildet.
In dieser Arbeit wird die Frage nach der Zusammensetzung einer aus konservatorischer Sicht unbedenklichen Stempelfarbe untersucht. Es konnten vier Kategorien von Stempelfarben ermittelt werden: die leinölhaltigen, die mineralölhaltigen, die glykol-/glycerolhaltigen und die harzhaltigen. Neun Stempelfarben aus diesen vier Kategorien wurden in einer umfangreichen Testreihe auf ihre Licht- und Klimabeständigkeit, ihre Löse- und Bleichmittelfestigkeit, ihre Wischfestigkeit und ihr Durchschlagvermögen überprüft. Drei rein pigmenthaltige Stempelfarben haben diese Tests bestanden. Von diesen hatte nur die leinölhaltige Stempelfarbe eine gute Dokumentenechtheit. Zudem werden im letzten Kapitel Möglichkeiten zur Entfernung von Stempelfarben auf Papier vorgestellt.
