Abstract:
... It is well known in consumer research on ethical and sustainable products that the attitudes of consumers recorded in studies and consumers' actual purchasing behaviour often differ. This gap between expressed attitude and actual behaviour is called the 'attitude-behaviour gap'. In this study, an item set for 'organic food' was developed, which less identify intentions and motivations but rather t ...

Abstract:
... The biomass of invertebrate detritivores is an important driver of multiple ecosystem functions, yet little is known about how it changes in the context of global change. Taking Collembola communities as our focal groups, we conducted a study at the Global Change Experimental Facility (GCEF) in central Germany to assess how climate change (i.e., increased temperature by ∼0.55 °C across seasons, an ...

Abstract:
... Agriculture is a major contributor to nitrate groundwater contamination. Hence, farmers are demanded to reduce the environmental impact but simultaneously must provide sufficient food products. One important building block for this “sustainable intensification” are appropriate cropping strategies. The potential of modified crop rotations was evaluated in a high-yielding environment in Northern Ger ...

Abstract:
... Prior research shows that trademarks positively relate to startups' growth and survival. However, empirical evidence on the impact of intellectual property rights (IPRs), especially trademarks, on the development of social startups' hybrid outcomes is limited. Our study aims to fill this gap by investigating how early trademarking relates to the sustainability and economic outcomes of social start ...

Abstract:

We present a simple new method to decompose the wage effects of displacement into components due to differences in the way that displaced and non-displaced workers are sorted across higher- and lower-paying employers (a sorting effect), differences in the quality of worker–employer matches that they enter into (a matching effect), and differences in their unobservable characteristics (a selection ...

Abstract:
... Working in the forest is dangerous, especially in the case of motor manual work, which represents a significant proportion of all forest work in Germany. Nevertheless, many accidents in the forest also happen during recreational activities. In the unfortunate case of an accident, rapid assistance is therefore crucial. For provision of this service, a network of 63,718 high quality permanent rescue ...

The quantitative understanding of these interactions is essential for the manipulation and control of emulsions or complex fluids. The existing methods for interaction force determination are typically based on expensive mechan ...

... This paper aims to provide a fresh historical perspective on the debates on vitalism and holism in Germany by analyzing the work of the zoologist Hans Spemann (1869–1941) in the interwar period. Following up previous historical studies, it takes the controversial question about Spemann’s affinity to vitalistic approaches as a starting point. The focus is on Spemann’s holistic research style, and o ...

By contrast, intangible forms of institutions (e.g. routines, conventions) inscribed in economic practices and their interplay with formal institutions are not yet well understood within the field of agri-food studies. ...
