Assessing the influence of flexible design on environmental sustainability assessment results – a case study from timber housing
Improving sustainability in the construction industry is a key challenge. One widely discussed strategy for achieving this is flexible design. Although the concept of flexibility is open to interpretation, there is a broad consensus that it leads to buildings being used longer and in more intensive ways. However, this requires acceptance and a positive perception of the buildings by their users. Consequently, we consider stakeholder preferences d…
Packaging for a greener tomorrow
The intensive use of plastics, especially single-use packaging, in the food industry significantly impacts the environment. Reducing conventional food packaging is, therefore, a global challenge. While consumers drive market acceptance, it is essential to better understand their decision-making processes. Despite numerous studies, gaps remain in comprehending how consumers form preferences and behavioral intentions regarding sustainable food pack…
An explorative study on consumer perceptions of novel innovative construction material
Wege zum nachhaltigen Umgang mit Kunststoffen
Weltweit wächst der Eintrag von Kunststoffen in die Umwelt. Da die bestehenden Regulierungen zur Eindämmung des Problems nicht ausreichen, muss die ständig steigende Kunststoffproduktion und -nutzung insgesamt reduziert werden. Es bedarf eines systemischen Ansatzes, der alle Akteure in die Verantwortung nimmt, die Kunststoffprodukte und -verpackungen produzieren, nutzen, recyceln und entsorgen sowie damit handeln. Die Politik muss den nötigen Par…
Which factors determine the extent of house owners’ energy-related refurbishment projects? A Motivation-Opportunity-Ability Approach
Achtung Plastik! Wie Verbraucher(innen) beim Einkaufen Plastikmüll reduzieren können
Das Plastikproblem und die damit verbundenen Umweltauswirkungen werden von der Öffentlichkeit rege diskutiert. Wie Plastik schon beim Einkaufen von Lebensmitteln und Kleidung vermieden werden kann, untersucht das Projekt Verbraucherreaktionen bei Plastik und dessen Vermeidungsmöglichkeiten am Point of Sale , das im Rahmen der Sozial-ökologischen Forschung vom Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung gefördert wird

Trapping and furbearer management in North American wildlife conservation
Furbearer Management in North America maintains wild furbearer populations at sustainably harvestable, scientifically determined and socially acceptable levels. Furbearer management impacts numerous wildlife populations and habitats, and human health, safety and property. Achieving balance in the management of furbearers is not always an easy task partly because regulated trapping, a controversial management technique, plays a critical role in th…
Preventive Training in Management of Stress for Reduction of Physiological Symptoms through Increased Cognitive and Behavioral Controls
This study tested the effectiveness of training in management of stress which combined relaxation and cognitive modification. Students in rehabilitation counseling were taught to identify individual situation-specific sources of stress to develop individual plans for the management of their particular stress. Techniques included progressive relaxation, stretching exercises, and cognitive restructuring. Sixteen participants self-selected for inter…
Comparison of Cue-Controlled Relaxation and Cognitive Restructuring versus Study Skills Counseling in Treatment of Test-Anxious College Underachievers
This investigation compared the relative efficacy of two multi-component strategies in the treatment of test anxiety for college underachievers. 30 test-anxious students with deficient study habits were assigned to one of three experimental conditions: (a) a combined cue-controlled relaxation and cognitive restructuring program, (b) a study-skills program incorporating a decision-making model, or (c) a waiting-list control. Analyses of pre-, post…
