    We must combine conservation of nature with benefits to society. Interview by Gaby Allheilig with Andreas Heinimann on IPBES' Global Assessment Report on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services

    No full text
    On 6 May 2019, the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) presented its report on the state of biodiversity and ecosystem services worldwide. The first such assessment since 2005, it concludes that biodiversity and ecosystem loss has reached the point where it threatens human well-being. The researchers involved recommend several urgent measures to political decision-makers. Andreas Heinimann of CDE was the one Swiss scientist who worked as a lead author on a chapter of the report

    Family Virtues and Social Critique: Andreas Latzko’s Anti-War Prose (1917-1918)

    No full text
    Between 1917 and 1918, the Austro-Hungarian author Andreas Latzko (1876-1943) wrote three separate publications against the Great War: Menschen im Krieg (1917), Friedensgericht (1918), and Der letzte Mann (published 1919). Literary historians tend to bypass these works, and the few who note them chiefly focus on the best-selling novella cycle Menschen im Krieg (1917). It is usually presented as an example of expressionist political prose, or as a mixture of social satire and aesthetic shock-tactics that chiefly remains indebted to realist traditions, albeit with occasional incursions into expressionistic styles..

    Observing the Impact of WWF Earth Hour on Urban Light Pollution: A Case Study in Berlin 2018 Using Differential Photometry

    No full text
    Earth Hour is one of the most successful coordinated mass efforts worldwide to raise awareness of environmental issues, with excessive energy consumption being one driver of climate change. The campaign, first organized by the World Wildlife Fund in Australia in 2007, has grown across borders and cultures and was celebrated in 188 countries in 2018. It calls for voluntarily reduction of electricity consumption for a single hour of one day each year. Switching off non-essential electric lights is a central theme and resulted in 17,900 landmarks going dark in 2018. This switch-off of lights during Earth Hour also leads to reduction of light pollution for this specific period. In principle, Earth Hour allows the study of light pollution and the linkage to electricity consumption of lighting. However, quantitative analysis of the impact of Earth Hour on light pollution (and electricity consumption) are sparse, with only a few studies published showing no clear impact or the reverse, suffering from residual twilight and unstable weather conditions. In this work, light pollution measurements during Earth Hour 2018 in an urban park (Tiergarten) in Berlin, Germany, are reported. A novel light measurement method using differential photometry with calibrated digital cameras enables tracking of the switching off and switching back on of the lights of Berlin’s iconic Brandenburg Gate and the buildings of Potsdamer Platz adjacent to the park. Light pollution reduction during the event was measurable, despite the presence of moonlight. Strategies for future work on light pollution using such events are discussed

    Short laws for finite groups and residual finiteness growth

    We prove that for every n ∈ N n \in \mathbb {N} and δ &gt; 0 \delta &gt;0 there exists a word w n ∈ F 2 w_n \in F_2 of length O ( n 2 / 3 log ⁡ ( n ) 3 + δ ) O(n^{2/3} \log (n)^{3+\delta }) which is a law for every finite group of order at most n n . This improves upon the main result of Andreas Thom [Israel J. Math. 219 (2017), pp. 469–478] by the second named author. As an application we prove a new lower bound on the residual finiteness growth of non-abelian free groups. </p

    Value quantification

    No full text
    This chapter explores the concept and practice of value quantification, emphasizing its crucial role in effectively communicating product offerings in industrial markets. Rather than relying solely on product characteristics, successful sales strategies involve translating unique selling points into quantifiable customer-specific economic value. The chapter synthesizes existing marketing and pricing literature, presenting a comprehensive model that categorizes benefits and sacrifices into quantitative and qualitative dimensions relevant to both B2B and B2C contexts. The author delineates a systematic approach for quantifying customer value, highlighting practical methodologies such as economic value analysis and conjoint analysis. Furthermore, the chapter underscores the managerial implications of value quantification, including enhanced pricing strategies, improved negotiation positions, reduced discounting, and performance-based pricing opportunities. Through detailed frameworks and real-world examples, the chapter provides actionable insights for effectively leveraging quantified value to gain competitive advantage and drive customer purchasing decisions
