Integrated Organizational Development – Think new about processes of Change
No full textDiese Arbeit reflektiert die Frage „Wie sind Organisationen im Sinne des Integrativen Verfahrens zu verändern und was sollte ein methodischer Ansatz zur Umsetzung berücksichtigen?“ und stellt dazu die Grundthese auf: Eine solche Methode muss den Polylog im Sinne wahrhaftiger Rede (Parrhesie), weiterführender Kritik und kultiviertem Zweifel in den Mittelpunkt der Maßnahmen stellen. Auf diesem Weg nimmt sie Einfluss auf die aktuell anstehende organisatorische Veränderung, kümmert sich um die Akzeptanzbildung und sucht, die Nachhaltigkeit zu sichern.This thesis is reflecting the question ‚ how are organizations to be changed with regard to the integrative practice and what needs to be considered by methodic implementation?’. It makes a case that such a method needs to center the Polylog with its associated principles.In this way it influences the upcoming organizational change, takes care about the acceptance and strives towards a sustained yield.https://www.fpi-publikation.de/supervision/09-2014-weise-kai-integrative-organisationsentwicklung-veraenderungsprozesse-neu-denken/peerReviewedpublishedVersio
When the shaking stops: an evaluation of post-earthquake rehabilitation of the Kasthamandap in Hanumandhoka Durbar Square
No full textThe Kasthamandap, a historic timber pavilion, and eponym of Kathmandu, collapsed during the Gorkha Earthquake that struck central Nepal on 25th April 2015. The reconstruction was completed in 2021. The aim of the thesis is to map and evaluate the longitudinal success of heritage rehabilitation approaches focused on a single monument in Kathmandu, the Kasthamandap, and the extent to which each intervention altered and transformed linkages with its communities. The thesis investigates the communities involved with the Kasthamandap before, during and after the Gorkha Earthquake, under the five main categories of users, urban community, authorities, custodians and those providing a broader significance to the monument. The research was carried out through interviews and consulting secondary sources, accompanying the four-year reconstruction of the monument.
The relationship of a community to a specific monument, such as the Kasthamandap, is determined by its interaction and positioning with other associated and, often contesting, communities. With political and social change over time, the relationship between individuals and groups and the monument changes. Natural disasters, such as earthquakes which cause physical damage to the monument, can be catalysts for changes in the relationships of the various community groups with the monument.
Communities do not belong to a single homogeneous entity with clearly defined needs and aspirations; and, therefore, it is necessary for these communities to negotiate amongst themselves as to how best to address issues concerning their livelihood, collaboration and identity. The negotiations that went into the reconstruction of a historic monument, the Kasthamandap, have been presented in this study. By understanding and recognising these dynamics, it may be possible to improve community consultation and engagement in Nepal’s rehabilitation procedures in the future
The sacred Garden of Lumbini: Perceptions of Buddha's birthplace
No full textThis publication is based on the premise that Lumbini can be perceived from numerous viewpoints and that all viewpoints together facilitate the overall understanding of the birthplace of Buddha. This perception sets the frame for the preparation of a management system, a mandatory requirement for a World Heritage Property. At a meeting in Lumbini on 25 May 2010, Kai Weise, UNESCO consultant for the preparation of the Integrated Management Plan, presented to site managers and government authorities eight realms of understanding: in Buddhist texts; in historical texts; in archaeology; as part of the Kenzo Tange Master Plan; as a World Heritage Property; in an environmental context; and in association with the activities of visitors and pilgrims. This eight-layer approach was the basis for the formulation of a UNESCO project funded by the Japanese Funds-in-Trust for the Preservation of the World Cultural Heritage that was aimed at supporting efforts to better manage Lumbini and address three other critical issues, namely broadening the knowledge based on Lumbini through archaeological research; ensuring the physical conservation of the vestiges in Lumbini; and preparing an improved lay-out of the Sacred Garden through a better understanding of the Kenzo Tange Master Plan. A study was undertaken with funding from the Paris based nongovernmental organization, Oriental Cultural Heritage Sites Protection Alliance, under the coordination of Kosh Prasad Acharya. The following experts were chosen for each of the eight perceptions: Christoph Cüppers for the chapter on Buddhist texts; Basanta Bidari for the chapter on historical texts; Robin Coningham for the chapter on archaeology; Yukio Nishimura for the chapter on Kenzo Tange Master Plan; Herb Stovel for the chapter on World Heritage; Anil Chitrakar for the chapter on environment; and Sayalay Bhaddamanika for the chapter on visitor activities. Additionally, a study on visitors’ expectations was carried out by Gyanin Rai. These studies became the basis for the preparation of the ‘Guidelines for the physical planning of the Sacred Garden’, a key component of the Integrated Management Framework for Lumbini, the Birthplace of Buddha. This publication presents the eight perceptions based on the experts’ studies. It also incorporates additional information collected from various sources to provide a comprehensive and updated image of Lumbini

VOC emission of various Serratia species and isolates and genome analysis of Serratia plymuthica 4Rx13
No full textBacteria emit a wealth of volatile organic compounds. Gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry analysis of five Serratia strains revealed ketones, dimethyl di- and trisulfide and 2-phenylethanol commonly released in this genus. The polymethylated bicyclic hydrocarbon sodorifen was uniquely released by the rhizobacterium Serratia plymuthica 4Rx13. Of 10 Serratia strains, only S.plymuthica isolates originating from plants grown on fields near Rostock (Germany) released this new and unusual compound. Since the biosynthetic pathway of sodorifen was unknown, the genome sequence of S.plymuthica 4Rx13 was determined and annotated. Genome comparison of S.plymuthica 4Rx13 with sodorifen non-producing Serratia species highlighted 246 unique candidate open reading frames.DF

The potential and limitations of long-term fire regime reconstructions in Eastern Siberia based on sedimentary charcoal and low-temperature fire markers
No full textForest fires are an important factor in the global carbon cycle and high latitude ecosystems. Eastern Siberian tundra, summergreen larch-dominated boreal forest on permafrost and evergreen boreal forest have characteristic fire regimes with varying fire intensities. Yet, it is unknown which role fire plays in long-term climate-vegetation-permafrost feedbacks and how high-latitude fire regimes and ecosystems will change in a warmer world. To learn from fire regime shifts during previous interglacials, prior to human presence, we use lake-sedimentary charcoal as proxy for high-intensity forest fires and monosaccharide anhydrides (i.e. levoglucosan, mannosan, galactosan: MA) as molecular proxies for low-temperature biomass burning, typical for surface fires in modern larch forest. However, MA pathways from source to sink and their stability in sediments are very poorly constrained. Recently, Dietze et al. (2020) found MA in up to 420 kyr old sediment of Lake El’gygytgyn (ICDP Site 5011-1), NE Siberia, suggesting that they are suitable proxies for fires in summergreen boreal forests. Surprisingly, the ratios of the MA isomers were exceptionally low compared to published emission ratios from modern combustions.</p><p>To understand what MA from Arctic lake sediments tell us, we have analyzed the MA and charcoal composition in modern lake surface sediments of Lake El’gygytgyn and three East Siberian lakes and we compare them to late glacial-to-interglacial El’gygytgyn records. The three Siberian lakes were chosen to represent spatial analogues to the El’gygytgyn conditions during MIS 5e and 11c. We discuss first results of the modern sediments in context of recent MODIS- and Landsat-based fire extents and biome-specific land cover data, a wind field modelling using climate data over eastern Siberia, and lake-catchment configurations from TDX-DEM analysis to assess potential fire proxy source areas and regional-to-local transport processes. Thereby, we provide insights into the meaning of sedimentary fire proxies, crucial for a sound reconstruction of long-term fire regime histories
