This research analyzes the gender dynamics that have influenced natural resource management in the rural communities of La Ferrería and El Nayar, Durango, Mexico, over the past 50 years. Using a theoretical framework based on gender perspective, intersectionality, and rural systems theory, the study examines how social change, globalization, and the new rurality have transformed gender roles and access to natural resources. Through qualitative methods such as participant observation, semi-structured interviews, life histories, and documentary research, this study identifies the progressive loss of traditional knowledge and the increasing urbanization of rural life. The results reveal that although women have gained greater participation in decision-making processes, structural barriers continue to limit their access to land and resource management. In addition, changing generational perspectives, particularly among participants aged 18 to 24, indicate a growing disengagement from traditional agricultural practices in favor of technical and academic approaches. This study highlights the urgent need to integrate gender perspectives into rural development policies, promoting sustainable and equitable resource management while preserving ancestral knowledge. The research underscores the importance of revaluing rural work to ensure long-term food security and maintain cultural ties to the land. Key words: Gender perspective, natural resource management, new rurality, traditional knowledge, rural development.

Diese Arbeit untersucht verschiedene Ansätze, Daten im Google Cloud Firestore zu strukturieren und deren Auswirkungen auf Kosten, Performance sowie Codequalität.

Mangrove forests have been studied broadly in the recent three decades for their outstanding ability to sequester carbon in the beneath soil and other beneficial ecosystem services. Endeavors to conserve and regenerate mangrove cover are still increasing worldwide as a mechanism to include them in NDCs and carbon markets. Therefore, decision-makers in the private and public sectors require identify possible areas for conservation and restoration prior to blue carbon project investment. Thus, an integral assessment of potential mangrove carbon reservoirs in a landscape scale, considering environmental and socioeconomic factors was performed. This study was aimed to determine areas with the highest blue carbon sequestration potential in the Gulf of Guayaquil through the construction of a Blue Carbon Potential Index (BCPI) based on Spatial Multicriteria Analysis (SMCA). A narrative integrative literature review was employed to select indicators of mangrove carbon sequestration gains and losses. These indicators were pondered following the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) with the judgments of two experts and reclassified in four potential categories based on their thresholds. Since no consensus was achieved in the indicator importance hierarchization, a comparative of equal weighting method and AHP weighting was implemented. The linear combination rule was used to integrate these factors into a unique-scaled index supported by a geographic Information System (GIS). The results showed that 15.82% and 16.21% of the study area belonged to high and moderate potential of blue carbon sequestration respectively. Moreover, no significant differences were found between the two weighting methods applied. The BCPI provides a comprehensive understanding of spatial distribution of blue carbon potential reservoirs and grants a quantification of this potential to prioritize conservation and restoration areas.

Die Suchfunktion ist in vielen Softwareprodukten eine wichtige Komponente, die häufig zur Navigation in der Anwendung dient. Gerade, wenn große Datenmengen bereitgestellt werden, wie es bei Streamingdiensten (Netflix, Spotify) oder bei E-Commerce-Plattformen (Amazon, Zalando) der Fall ist, ist es wichtig, dass die Suchergebnisse für den Nutzer relevant sind. Eine für den Nutzer effektive Navigation mit der Suchfunktion ist nur möglich, wenn die Suchergebnisse eine ausreichend große Relevanz für den Nutzer bieten. Die Organisationen, welche die oben genannten Dienste betreiben, versuchen daher, die Relevanz ihrer Suchergeb­nisse zu optimieren. Eine Optimierung auf Relevanz ist zwar für eine spezielle Suche einfach, jedoch können dabei häufig Seiteneffekte auftreten, welche die Relevanz über alle Suchen verschlechtern. In einem E-Commerce-Shop kann das Einfiihren des Synonyms „Birne -> Glühbirne" dafür sorgen, dass Nutzer, die Gliihbirnen kaufen wollen und nach „Birne" su­chen nun auch Gliihbirnen finden. Falls Nutzer aber das Obst Birne kaufen möchten, sind die Ergebnisse für diese Gruppe irrelevant. Bei einer Optimierung der Relevanz über alle Su­chen können Qualitätsmanagementsysteme unterstützen. Ein Qualitätsmanagementsystem fiir die Relevanz von Suchergebnissen muss nicht nur fachliche und technische, sondern auch organisatorische Anforderungen beachten, um die Optimierungspotenziale vollständig aus­zuschöpfen. Diese Arbeit erläutert diese Anforderungen und stellt eine Architektur für ein Qualitätsmanagementsystem vor. Die Architektur wird hinsichtlich der Erfüllung der erläu­terten Anforderungen analysiert. Desweiteren werden die Vor- und Nachteile fiir die jeweiligen Architekturentscheidungen unter Betrachtung der Anforderungen diskutiert. Das Ziel der Ar­beit ist es, die Architektur entsprechend zu erläutern, sodass eine Organisation diese für sich angepasst implementieren kann.

This bachelor thesis addresses the issue of how school resilience can be measured and assessed quantitatively. Schools as social infrastructures have a significant value for society. Yet, on a global scale, they, and therefore the respective community as well, are continuously endangered by a variety of threats such as natural disasters or violence and mental abuse affecting students, parents and school staff. However, these threats differ greatly depending on climatic and geographical conditions as well as on the socio-cultural context of the corresponding community. To strengthen school resilience against potential threats and to ensure education continuity despite the occurrence of these disruptions, a methodology is developed to measure and assess school resilience in conjunction with its specific circumstances. Initially, qualitative and quantitative (composite) indicators are identified and categorised with the help of a Systematic Literature Review and Mayring's Qualitative Content Analysis. These are subsequently developed into a Comprehensive Index for School Resilience (CISR). Building on this, a pre-existing assessment methodology, which uses Likert-Scales arranged in questionnaires to assign quantitative values to the composite indicators, is adapted to operationalise the CISR and by an exemplary application at Europaschule Troisdorf, the methodology is adapted to the socio-cultural conditions in Germany using an expert’s operational and contextual knowledge. The results obtained show that the methodologies and techniques described in current international research can, after an appropriate adaptation, successfully be applied to schools in Germany as well. Nevertheless, by identifying research limitations and errors as well as potential improvements, it is evident that further research and development is needed to provide stakeholders with a decision-making tool to strengthen the resilience of schools in the future, such as an exhaustive supplement to the CISR or the integration of more precise quantification methodologies and techniques.
