50 % of all global carbon emis­sions stem from heating, cooling and construc­tion of buil­dings. The produc­tion of conven­tional buil­ding mate­rials is a major driver of climate change. For example, cement produc­tion alone is respon­sible for 5 to 7 % of global CO2 emis­sions. These mate­rials require addi­tional insu­la­tion to be effec­tive. We found that currently there is only little awareness concerning the envi­ron­mental impact of such mate­rials. Just a limited choice of eco-fri­endly buil­ding mate­rials is avail­able on the market (e.g. wood, clay, reed). However, these mate­rials are often very expen­sive, take a long time to be produced, are complex to build and are not carbon nega­tive.

Sorting Machines in the fruit industry faci­li­tate the deter­mi­na­tion of fruit-qua­lity. Super­con­ductor tech­no­logy can find use in sorting machines in an NMR-­cen­tered system scan­ning the fruits. The new scan­ning tech­no­logy enables for produ­cers to accu­ra­tely deter­mine ripeness, compres­sive strength, absence of seeds, cavi­ties and density diffe­rences in a non-­de­struc­tive way. All of which are major factors in ensu­ring high fruit-qua­lity to end-­con­su­mers. Yet, the most bene­fi­cial one is analy­sing the matu­rity of fruits, which can provide a substan­tial profit for produ­cers by preven­ting large-­s­cale losses resul­ting from poor ripeness esti­ma­tions. Adequa­tely illus­tra­ting the problem, 30% of all avocados shipped from Mexico to Europe have to be discarded.

Growth in the Asia-­Pa­cific econo­mies is expected to dece­le­rate slightly to about 5.3 percent during 2016–17, accor­ding to the latest Regional Economic Outlook for Asia and Pacific, published on May 3, 2016. While Asia remains the engine of the global economy, the mode­ra­tion in regional growth reflects the slug­gish global reco­very and slowing global trade. As external demand remains rela­tively subdued and global finan­cial condi­tions have started to tighten, domestic demand is expected to be a major driver of activity across most of the region. The report finds that policy settings are appro­priate across most of the region, but imple­men­ting struc­tural reforms is critical to bols­te­ring poten­tial growth and redu­cing poten­tial vulnera­bi­li­ties. The report also covers China’s spill­overs to Asia, impli­ca­tions of China’s reba­lan­cing for trade, and inequa­lity in the region. LINK

Am Institut für Inter­ac­tive Marke­ting der WU wurde erst­mals beob­achtet und analy­siert, wie Rezi­pi­en­tInnen sich an Werbung in unter­schied­li­chen Kontexten erin­nern und ob sie ihre Einstel­lung und auch ihr Verhalten ändern. Um die Erin­ne­rung und Einstel­lung zu messen, durften Abou Nabout und ihre Kollegen private Computer der Teil­neh­me­rInnen eines Online-Pa­nels tracken. So war es möglich, eine Befra­gung ohne künst­liche Labor­si­tua­tion durch­zu­führen und die UserInnen während ihres normalen Inter­net­kon­sums nach ihrer Erin­ne­rung und Einstel­lung mittels Pop-ups zu befragen. Durch die Bildung von Statis­ti­schen Zwil­lingen konnten anschlie­ßend Vergleiche zwischen Nutze­rInnen, die ähnliche demo­gra­fi­sche und soziale Voraus­set­zungen mitbringen, aber sich in unter­schied­li­chen Umfel­dern, also auf Premium- versus Non-Pre­mium Webseiten, bewegen, gezogen werden. Die Ände­rung im Klick­ver­halten wurde durch die Auswer­tung der Daten eines großen Aukti­ons­haus für Werbe­plätze unter­sucht.

“Add to that the am­bi­tious cli­mate tar­gets that have been set, for in­stance the goal of es­sen­tially CO2-­free city lo­gist­ics in ma­jor urban cen­ters by 2030 spe­cified in the EU’s White Pa­per on Trans­port. All of this means that we des­per­ately need solu­tions that take so­cial and en­vir­on­mental con­cerns into ac­count, as well as busi­ness and eco­nomic con­sid­er­a­tions. Some pi­on­eer­ing ini­ti­at­ives have already been launched in Vi­enna that aim to es­tab­lish the freight bi­cycle as an eco­lo­gic­ally sus­tain­able and low-noise means of trans­port­a­tion.”

„Trans­port ist essen­tiell und wichtig für jede Stadt, hat aber auch viele nega­tive Auswir­kungen wie Stau­bil­dung, Lärm und Abgase. Die Anzahl der Stadt­be­woh­ne­rinnen und -bewohner steigt, gleich­zeitig wächst auch der Online Handel, es gibt ein neues Konsum­ver­halten. Same day deli­very, also die Liefe­rung am glei­chen Tag, wird von vielen Kundinnen und Kunden gewünscht. Durch diese Entwick­lungen erwarten wir auch ein höheres Trans­port­auf­kommen“, so Hemmel­mayr, „Außerdem werden auch noch ambi­tio­nierte Klima­ziele verfolgt, wie die im Weißbuch Verkehr der EU gefor­derte im wesent­li­chen CO2 freie Stadt­lo­gistik in größ­eren städ­ti­schen Zentren bis 2030. Unter diesen Gesichts­punkten braucht es unbe­dingt Lösungen die sowohl soziale, wirt­schaft­liche als auch ökol­o­gi­sche Gesichts­punkte glei­cher­maßen berück­sich­tigen. Erste Versuche, das Lastenrad auch in Wien als ökol­o­gisch nach­hal­tiges und leises Trans­port­mittel zum Einsatz zu bringen, sind bereits gestartet.“

The data chosen for this study come from the Birmingham Blog Corpus (BBC), a diachro­ni­cal­ly-­struc­tured collec­tion covering the period 2000-2010 and total­ling 600 million words. In parti­cular, the analysis is based on an 80 million word sub-­corpus of the BBC (http://www.webcorp.org.uk/blogs), which includes both blog posts and reader comments from the Blogger and Word­Press hosting sites. This sub-­corpus allows us to inves­ti­gate the degree of modu­lated inter­ac­tivity asso­ciated with blogs, “inter­ac­tion-a­t-o­ne-­re­move” (Nardi et al. 2004: 46), which pertains to the theo­re­ti­cally infi­nite time lag between posts and comments. To enhance the results obtained, the subsec­tion of blogs that received the majo­rity of comments has been cate­go­rised by type (i.e. profes­sional, personal and topic blogs). This way the imme­diate purpose of a blog can be taken into conside­ra­tion in the analysis so as to uncover poten­tial diffe­rences in the lingu­istic means used by each type.

Al­though 47% also re­port that they plan to ex­pand their op­er­a­tions in Ch­ina, this rep­res­ents a thirty-n­ine point de­crease from 2013, when an over­whelm­ing 86% of European com­pan­ies were in­tend­ing to do so.

The Euro­pean Chamber of Commerce in China, in coope­ra­tion with Roland Berger, today released its annual Busi­ness Confi­dence Survey 2016. The survey finds that Beijing’s failure so far to deliver on promises that foreig­n-in­vested enter­prises will enjoy a more open, compe­ti­tive market has fostered moun­ting pessi­mism: a signi­fi­cant 41% of Euro­pean compa­nies are now re-e­va­lua­ting their China opera­tions and plan­ning to cut costs, inclu­ding through head­count reduc­tion. Although 47% also report that they plan to expand their opera­tions in China, this repres­ents a thir­ty­-­nine point decrease from 2013, when an overw­hel­ming 86% of Euro­pean compa­nies were inten­ding to do so. However, a clear majo­rity of Euro­pean busi­ness would likely increase their invest­ment in China in the event of market access barriers being removed.

Ab dem Winter­se­mester 1939 gab es eine eigene deut­sche Studi­en­ord­nung. Nach dem neuen Lehr­plan dauerte das Studium nun sechs Semester, in diesem Zeit­raum musste man jedoch nur eine einzige Diplom­prü­fung absol­vieren. Diese setzte sich aus Allge­meiner und Beson­derer Betriebs­wirt­schafts­lehre, Volks­wirt­schafts­lehre, Recht sowie einem Wahl­fach zusammen. Die während des Krieges erwor­benen akade­mi­schen Titel wurden auch nach der NS-Zeit aner­kannt. Nach Ende des "Deut­schen Reiches" war der Lehr­körper der Hoch­schule für Welt­handel stark redu­ziert. Nicht weniger als 60 Professor/inn/en, Assis­tent/inn/en, Lehr­be­auf­tragte und Beamte/Beam­tinnen mussten im Zuge der "Entna­zi­fi­zie­rung" ausscheiden und die zuvor aus Deutsch­land beru­fenen Professor/inn/en gingen wieder zurück.

Poly­ure­thane is a synthetic polymer and used as a base mate­rial in various indus­tries and manu­fac­tu­ring. It  has become a major envi­ron­mental problem due to  the amounts of this type of plastic produced by the industry (12 million tons per year world­wide, incre­a­sing by 5%every year) and the pollu­tion gene­rated by its disposal. It is found in a wide variety of modern appli­ances such as: furnis­hings, paints, vehicle parts, foam insu­la­tion mate­rials, glues and shoes.
