Phenology, growth and drought responses of Platanus acerifolia in urban environment
No full textUrbanization leads to environmental changes, such as increasing temperatures (heat island effect), pollution, massive soil sealing, and altered hydrology. Urban trees play a key role in mitigating these negative effects by providing essential ecosystem services. As climate change effects are even more pronounced in urban environments, research on urban trees will be important for the future. While there is extensive literature on urban greening, knowledge about the physiological aspects of urban trees remains limited. In this master thesis, the phenology, growth, and drought responses of Platanus acerifolia were studied under contrasting conditions in the Alpine city of Innsbruck.
Environmental parameters and soil properties at several study sites were assessed, and climate data were recorded during 2024. In spring, bud burst and leaf development were observed, while in autumn, leaf shedding was evaluated. Tree stem increment was measured throughout the growing season using band dendrometers. During a drought period in August, additional measurements of soil moisture content, predawn and midday water potential, stomatal conductance, and photosystem II efficiency were performed.
No differences in phenological patterns (timing of bud burst, leaf development, and shedding) were observed across the sites. However, in May, all trees showed significant leaf damage, and some individual trees exhibited premature leaf shedding in summer. Daily stem increment was positively correlated with precipitation across all study trees. Soil quality had influence on annual stem growth, while traffic intensity showed no correlation with increment. During the drought period, soil moisture content was correlated with soil sealing, and midday water potential was negatively correlated with stomatal conductance and soil sealing (except one tree).
Performed analyses revealed that the phenological dynamics of Platanus acerifolia were hardly influenced by site specific conditions. In contrast, growth varied remarkably across sites with soil quality being important for annual increment. During drought, responses in water potential and stomatal conductivity indicated drought stress at some sites. This study demonstrates that urban trees are exposed to intense stresses which affect their vitality. Understanding physiological responses is crucial, as healthy trees are essential for resilient urban areas.Elsa PlatzgummerMasterarbeit Universität Innsbruck 202
Journal on efficiency and responsibility in education and science / Validation of the teachers’ personal and professional skills questionnaire in the czech physical education setting
No full textPersonal (PSs) and professional (PRs) skills are necessary to any physical education (PE) teacher, potentially having an impact on the quality of teaching and students' engagement in PE. In recent years, the Teachers’ Personal and Professional Skills Questionnaire (TPPS-Q), composed of two 5-item dimensions (PSs and PRs), has been developed and tested. This study aims to test the validity of the TPPS-Q in the Czech school context. The analysis of the questionnaire and its structure, which was based on responses from 135 pupils enrolled in the last grades of Czech primary schools, was performed using the software AMOS for structural equation modeling. Results suggest that the structural model is appropriate after removing two items (CFI = .981; RMSEA = .058; SRMR = .041). Internal validity was good for both PSs (Alpha = .811; Omega = .814) and PRs (Alpha = .795; Omega = .794). Reliability was also found to be good (PSs: ICC = .888; PRs: ICC = .760). Additional scores were assessed for convergent and discriminant validity. The final 8-item version is valid and can be used in the Czech school environment.Universität Innsbruck Förderkreis 1669 Project 345667Version of recor

"auf Kosten […] des Waldbodens"? : Über die Wahrnehmung der Auswirkungen übermäßiger Waldstreunutzung in Tirol zur Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts
No full textAround the mid-19th century, the use of forest litter by farmers in Tyrol was part of a broader conflict of interest. Farmers, especially in Alpine regions, collected litter by raking the soil and cutting branches, which they used as a necessary bedding for livestock and to produce manure. However, at the same time the state prioritized profit-oriented, rational and systematic forestry. Litter use was therefore widely considered as a harmful minor forest utilization. As a result, forest litter use has been very often discussed in detail in contemporary sources. This study aims to examine how the impacts of litter use in mid-19th century Tyrol were perceived. It begins by outlining the historical context to understand the political, social, and economic factors that shaped this perception. It then explores the recognized effects of litter use and how they were addressed in the sources, with particular focus on its role in increasing the risk of natural hazards. Another key aspect to be mentioned is the influence of litter use on social processes and forest perception. The study also contributes to an ongoing project at the University of Innsbruck (HILUC), which combines scientific and historical data to investigate the impacts of historical forest use practices on soil, vegetation, and runoff generation. By analyzing the 19th-century discourse on forest litter use in Tyrol, this study helps to contextualize the historical practices examined in the project and to evaluate their contemporary impact.Celina ThommesAbstract in englischer SpracheMasterarbeit Universität Innsbruck 202
convolutional neural networks geographic information system
No full textIn the last decade the study of artificial neural networks experienced a new dawn, notably in the domain of image classification where they proved to be able to significantly push the state of the art compared to alternative and previous "classic" methods. Together with the increased availability of open geographic information system (GIS) data at large scale this gives rise to the question how well these methods perform when applied to the problem of semantic segmentation of aerial imagery. In this thesis we show that convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are indeed capable to tackle this problem by learning a multi-class model from scratch using free and open high-resolution sensor and label data available for a large European city (Vienna). We then extend this work by including additional open land cover data to compute a fine-grained land cover map for a small European country (Austria). In particular we study the influence of different kinds of sensor data on the final segmentation result, propose strategies to mitigate common challenges and suggest additional directions for further research.

Optimizing worker allocation in educational training : balancing fairness, computational efficiency and practical applicability
No full text/This master thesis investigates the integration of fairness as a core principle in the optimization
of apprentice training allocations across departments. Addressing real-world challenges in
workforce planning, the research develops a mathematical model that incorporates fairness
directly into the objective function. This aims to balance training hours among apprentices
while meeting institutional constraints. Three different objective functions are formulated to
capture distinct mathematical interpretations of fairness, including the minimization of absolute
deviations, squared deviations, and variance in training hour allocations. Their performance is
analyzed using two optimization approaches: an exact method using Mixed-Integer
Programming via Gurobi, and a metaheuristic solution based on Variable Neighborhood
Search. As a base synthetic test instances are used to assess both approaches in terms of solution
quality, runtime and feasibility. The results demonstrate that MIP is well-suited for generating
optimal and fairness-oriented solutions in smaller instances. VNS achieved reasonable solution
quality but required higher computational time due to its heuristic search process. While it does
not match the precision or efficiency of Mixed-Integer Programming in smaller cases, its
structure suggests potential for adaptation in more complex or time-constrained settings. This
study illustrates how fairness can be embedded into optimization models in a way that remains
both computationally feasible and practically relevant. These insights, while based on synthetic
data, provide a methodological foundation for further research into fairness-aware optimization
and establish a basis for future adaptations in real-world training allocation systems.by Sophie SeebacherMasterarbeit University of Innsbruck 202
