Empirical determination of sustainable withdrawal rates considering historical yields and inflation rates in Germany Empirische Ermittlung einer sicheren Entnahmerate fur diversifizierte Rentenportfolios unter Berucksichtigung historischer Renditen und Inflationsraten

ABSTRACT: On account of the current low interest rate phase, which is most likely to continue in the coming years, the average yields to be achieved in the bond, time deposit and savings product sectors are declining, so that risk-averse investors in particular have few opportunities to generate return-oriented retirement provisions. This scientific article analyzes the level of a possible safe withdrawal rate for diversified pension portfolios, considering historical returns and inflation rates. Consequently, this article provides immediate practical added value for a possible retirement provision. The evaluation is based on the consideration of historical returns of the stock and bond market in Germany. To determine a safe withdrawal rate, the development of portfolios with different compositions and inflation-adjusted withdrawal rates are simulated over periods of 15 to 35 years. In this simulation, the risky part of the portfolio is represented by German equities, the low risk part by German government bonds. To sum up, the empirical results show a maximum safe withdrawal rate of 4%. The underlying portfolio is composed of 50% equities and 50% government bonds. Particularly due to the outlined demographic change in Germany as well as the ongoing low-interest phase, the empirical study can provide significant theoretical and practical insights.

Wissen fur den Wandel – Wissenstheoretische Grundlagen einer nachhaltigen Biookonomiepolitik

Project description:Eine Strategie zur Umsetzung einer nachhaltigen Bioökonomie muss neben disziplinären und technischen Zielvorstellungen auch den gesellschaftlichen Wandel einplanen und vorbereiten. Eine zukunftsfähige politische Strategie muss also neben dem techno-ökonomischen Wissen ebenso solches Wissen fördern, welches es Produzenten und Konsumenten ermöglicht, nicht-nachhaltige Verfahren und Verhaltensweisen nicht nur zu reduzieren, sondern radikal zu verändern. Dazu gehören neben den technologischen Fertigkeiten auch ein interdisziplinäres Verständnis systemischer Zusammenhänge, demokratisch legitimierte Zielvorstellungen sowie die notwendigen Fähigkeiten, um diese Ziele partizipativ umzusetzen. Nur durch die Anerkennung und gezielte Förderung dieses als dediziert bezeichneten Wissens können nachhaltige Veränderungen erwachsen. Der Beitrag ergänzt das evolutionsökonomische Konzept des wissensbasierten Wandels durch Ansätze aus den Nachhaltigkeitswissenschaften. Konkret werden die besonderen Eigenschaften dieses dedizierten Wissens diskutiert, wodurch nicht zuletzt eine Grundlage für neue Ansätze in der Bioökonomiepolitik geschaffen wird.

Umsetzbarkeit und Erleben: Erste Erfahrungen mit einer Kurzform der anwendungsorientierten Parcoursprufung im MSc-Studiengang Psychologie.

Project description:EinleitungVoraussetzung für die Approbation im Rahmen der neuen Psychotherapeutenausbildung ist u.a. das Bestehen einer anwendungsorientierten Parcoursprüfung. Da diese Prüfung von Lehrenden und Studierenden als Herausforderung angesehen wird, wurde eine Kurzform der Parcoursprüfung im Rahmen einer Modulprüfung des MSc-Studiengangs Psychologie eingeführt und evaluiert.MethodeFür die 15-minütige Parcoursprüfung wurden 9 Kompe-tenzbereiche basierend auf praxisorientierten Psychotherapieseminaren entwickelt, von denen 2 jeweils geprüft wurden. Zur Standardisierung der Benotung wurde ein Bewertungsbogen konzipiert. Eine Mitarbeiterin erhielt ein Training als Simulationspatientin. Für die Evaluation wurde ein Fragebogen entwickelt, welcher u.a. die Umsetzbarkeit und das subjektive Erleben dieses Prüfungsformats aus der Sicht der an der Prüfung beteiligten Personen erfasst.Ergebnisse14 Prüfungskandidierende ließen sich durch 3 Prüfende prüfen. Die Gesamtdurchschnittsnote betrug 1,19 (Bereich: 1,0-2,3). Die Auswertung der Fragebögen zeigte, dass alle drei Gruppen die Prüfung als geeignet, die praktischen Fertigkeiten abzubilden, objektiv und praxisnah empfanden. Von den Prüfungskandidierenden gaben 50% an, dass die Prüfung sie gestresst habe, während die Simulationspatientin sich nie und die Prüfenden sich gar nicht (78%) oder kaum (22%) gestresst fühlten.DiskussionDie Ergebnisse dieser Pilotstudie weisen auf eine gute Umsetzbarkeit der Parcoursprüfung hin, wenngleich sie auch mit Stress für die Prüfungskandidierenden verbunden war. Die Pilotstudie wird limitiert durch eine kleine und wahrscheinlich verzerrte Stichprobe (motivierte Studierende) ohne Vergleichsgruppe. Abschließend werden die Vor- und Nachteile dieses Prüfungsmodells kritisch diskutiert.

Upper limits to sustainable organic wheat yields.

Project description:Current use of mineral nitrogen (N) fertilizers is unsustainable because of its high fossil energy requirements and a considerable enrichment of the biosphere with reactive N. Biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) from leguminous crops is the most important renewable primary N source, especially in organic farming. However, it remains unclear to which degree BNF can sustainably replace mineral N, overcome the organic to conventional (O:C) yield gap and contribute to food security. Using an agronomic modelling approach, we show that in high-yielding areas farming systems exclusively based on BNF are unlikely to sustainably reach yield levels of mineral-N based systems. For a high reference wheat yield (7.5 t ha-1) and a realistic proportion of fodder legumes in the rotation (33%) even optimistic levels of BNF (282 kg N ha-1), resulted in an O:C ratio far below parity (0.62). Various constraints limit the agricultural use of BNF, such as arable land available for legumes and highly variable performance under on-farm conditions. Reducing the O:C yield gap through legumes will require BNF performance to be increased and N losses to be minimised, yet our results show that limits to the productivity of legume-based farming systems will still remain inevitable.

Sociodrama as a “potential stage” for creating participative and transformative research on social work with families living in vulnerable situations Soziodrama als „potenzielle Buhne“ fur die Schaffung einer partizipativen und transformativen Forschung zur Sozialarbeit mit Familien, die in gefahrdeten Situationen leben

Project description:This article of the Zeitschrift für Psychodrama und Soziometrie aims to explore how Morenian sociodrama and its techniques represent valuable tools for participative research with social professionals and teachers working with children and their families in vulnerable situations. After introducing the Canon of Creativity by Moreno and its connection to art-based research, sociodrama is theoretically introduced and proposed as a research tool. This is followed by a description of an experience of participative research with a group of roughly 40 professionals within the national Italian programme P.I.P.P.I. The process of the session is described and discussed, in order to demonstrate how sociodrama can be an interesting tool for social research. The conclusion provides connections between practice and research, proposing the involvement of families in future activities, and highlighting possible future theoretical explorations in order to examine the topic in greater depth.

The Right to A Clean Environment? Considering Green Logistics and Sustainable Tourism.

Project description:The globalization process has yielded various undesirable consequences for the environment and society, including increased environmental pollution, climate change and the exhaustion and destruction of resources. The influence of these processes makes it difficult to guarantee citizens' rights to a clean environment, and the implementation of this right requires complex solutions. The aim of this integrative review article is to discuss the right to a clean environment, as it relates to green logistics and sustainable tourism, by analyzing various scientific and legal sources. Rethinking the possible solutions of green logistics for sustainable tourism, such as tourism mobilities, bicycle tourism, the co-creation of smart velomobility, walkability, and others, can help us also rethink how to balance, respect, protect, and enforce human rights in the present-day context of climate change challenges. The integrative review analysis shows the importance of seeking a balance between the context (the right to a clean environment), the challenge (climate change), and the solutions (green logistics solutions for sustainable tourism).

The global dataset of historical yields for major crops 1981-2016.

Project description:Knowing the historical yield patterns of major commodity crops, including the trends and interannual variability, is crucial for understanding the current status, potential and risks in food production in the face of the growing demand for food and climate change. We updated the global dataset of historical yields for major crops (GDHY), which is a hybrid of agricultural census statistics and satellite remote sensing, to cover the 36-year period from 1981 to 2016, with a spatial resolution of 0.5°. Four major crops were considered: maize, rice, wheat and soybean. The updated version 1.3 was developed and then aligned with the earlier version 1.2 to ensure the continuity of the yield time series. Comparisons with different global yield datasets and published results demonstrate that the GDHY-aligned version v1.2?+?v1.3 dataset is a valuable source of information on global yields. The aligned version dataset enables users to employ an increased number of yield samples for their analyses, which ultimately increases the confidence in their findings.

Energy-saving and pricing decisions in a sustainable supply chain considering behavioral concerns.

Project description:With the rising environmental concerns among consumers all over the world, sustainability has received considerable attention, and numerous enterprises are adopting various practices such as investing in energy-saving to improve sustainability in supply chains. However, many previous researches always assume that decision makers are perfectly rational and neglect the behavioral concerns of decision makers. This paper considers a two-stage sustainable supply chain with behavioral concerns in order to develop more realistic models, and mainly focuses on the energy-saving and pricing decisions in the decentralized system, as well as how to improve energy-saving level and profits. We develop decentralized decision-making models under two types of behavioral concerns: fairness concern and risk aversion, and derive the optimal strategy for each member with a Stackelberg game in which the manufacturer acts as the leader. The effect of the behavioral concerns on the optimal decisions and corresponding profits is discussed in detail. Theoretical analysis verified by numerical experiments shows that the fairness behavior always causes a negative effect on the manufacturer, total supply chain, and energy conservation, while it could benefit the retailer in profits. The risk aversion behavior always benefits the manufacturer, total supply chain, and energy conservation, whereas it could make the retailer suffer. Note that both the optimal energy-saving level and corresponding profit of the total supply chain under two types of behavioral concerns are lower than that in the centralized system, thereby we propose a revenue-cost-sharing contract to coordinate the supply chain, under which both the manufacturer and the retailer can achieve a win-win outcome and the energy-saving level can be improved. In addition, some managerial implications through our analytical and numerical results are summarized in this paper.

Shaping the System - The DRG Evaluation Project of the German Society for Gynaecology and Obstetrics (Deutsche Gesellschaft fur Gynakologie und Geburtshilfe, DGGG).

Project description:Introduction: The German DRG system is annually adapted to the changing services provided. For the further development, the self-governing body and its DRG Institute (InEK) depend on participation of the users. Methods: For one of the DRG evaluation projects initiated by DGGG, cost and performance data for the year 2011 from 16 hospitals were available. After plausibility checks and corrections, analyses for service and cost homogeneity were performed. In cases of inadequate DRG-representation attributes were sought that would make an appropriate reimbursement possible. Conspicuities and potential solutions were checked for clinical plausibility. Results: 44 concrete modification proposals for further development of the G-DRG system were formulated and submitted in due time to the InEK. In addition, 3 modification proposals were addressed to the German Institute for Medical Documentation and Information (Deutsches Institut für Medizinische Dokumentation und Information, DIMDI) for further development of the diagnosis classification ICD-10-GM. For all modification proposals care was taken to minimise misdirected incentives and to reduce the potential for disputes with the cost bearers and their auditors services in settlements. Discussion: The publication of the G-DRG system 2014 shows which modification proposals have been realised. Essentially, an appropriate redistribution of the resources among the gynaecological and obstetrics departments is to be expected. The financial pressure that is caused by the generally inadequate financing of hospitals will not be reduced by a further development of the G-DRG system.

“Corona between myth and science” – Innovative experiments and formats for analyzing fake news in corona times in chemistry lessons „Corona zwischen Mythos und Wissenschaft“ – Innovative Experimente und Formate zur Bewertung von Fake News fur den Chemieunterricht

Project description:Translation abstract Since students are often very susceptible to misinformation, (out‐of‐)school formats are needed that make it possible to identify fake news. For this reason, a total of five science communication formats were developed, which are dedicated to the topic of “Fake News in the Corona Pandemic”. These include, for example, a student lab setting and an innovative book. The formats can be seen as a supplement to chemistry lessons and enable the students to increase their competence. This article also presents two of the 13 experiments from the student lab setting and the book, which can also be used in chemistry lessons.
