Full textAbstract:
Abstract This paper addresses one of the first translations of a US anthropological monograph into Romanian. Its author, John V. Murra (1916–2006), born into a Russian-Jewish family in Odessa, grew up in Romania, where he studied and became involved in the Communist movement before his departure for Chicago in 1934. His 1956 PhD thesis in anthropology at University of Chicago on the Inka state was a first step towards turning Murra into an influential figure in the field of Andean anthropology. His sister Ata Iosifescu lived in Romania and translated his PhD thesis into Romanian, published in 1987 as Civilizaţie inca: organizarea economică a statului incaş(Inka Civilization: the Economic Organization of the Inka State). Based on their correspondence kept at the National Anthropological Archives at the Smithsonian Institution (Washington, DC), I propose to reconstruct this translation’s story: the context, the constraints and the process of translation itself. I am also addressing the question of the book’s reception in Romania.

Full textAbstract:
The “Baependi Heart Study” started with the Doctoral Thesis of Camila Maciel de Oliveira, in 2005, and it kept working with partnerships among some Universities in Brazil for research and outreach projects. In 2005, José Eduardo Krieger, Alexandre Costa Pereira and Camila Maciel de Oliveira started this pioneer journey in the Laboratory of Genetic and Molecular Cardiology that takes place at the Heart Institute (InCor) at the University of São Paulo (USP). More recently, our group had the opportunity to start projects to discuss some of the cardiovascular risk factors and their prevention among childhood education in Minas Gerais State (Baependi and Juiz de Fora) and Parana State (Curitiba).Why was Baependi considered a desirable choice? The “Baependi Heart Study” started with the Doctoral Thesis of Camila Maciel de Oliveira,1 in 2005, and it kept working with partnerships among some Universities in Brazil for research and outreach projects. In 2005, José Eduardo Krieger, Alexandre Costa Pereira and Camila Maciel de Oliveira had started this journey in the Laboratory of Genetic and Molecular Cardiology that takes place at Heart Institute (InCor) at University of São Paulo (USP). The real history is that Baependi was not the first choice to host the project. At first the study would be in another town near Baependi called Pouso Alegre, Minas Gerais State. It was not possible to develop this project in Pouso Alegre because this kind of study requires a political support, which we did not have there.

Florin Faje (15.10.1984-15.01.2020) passed away unexpectedly at the age of 35 leaving behind a devastated family and a mourning academic community. His contributions to the anthropology of sport, ethno-nationalism in relation with class divides, state-formation and social history in Central and Eastern Europe remain truly remarkable proofs of an insightful and prolific anthropological spirit. His classes on economic and cultural anthropology, and his critical reading of development and globalisation studies kept generations of students at the Babeș-Bolyai University of Cluj engaged and motivated to widen their knowledge. His PhD thesis in Sociology and Social Anthropology, "Playing to Win, Learning to Lose. Sport, Nation and State in Interwar Romania", defended in 2014 with Magna cum Laudae at the Central European University - Budapest is awaiting publication.

Full textAbstract:
The article highlights the life and scientific and pedagogical work of the outstanding Tatar linguist, associate professor, founder of the department of the Tatar Language and Literature of Kazan State University, Khakimova Rabiga Afzalovna. R.A. Khakimova worked her way up from a rural teacher to an associate professor at university. For many years of work she was awarded with medals and signs of honour. She knew German, Russian, Bashkir and Tatar languages well, as well as she could also communicate in Kazakh and Kyrgyz. R.A. Khakimova completed her postgraduate studies at the Institute of Linguistics of the USSR Academy of Sciences in Moscow and defended her Ph.D. thesis. The article provides a list of some of the published academic works of the scholar. Khakimova Rabiga Afzalovna was actively involved in the political work, due to which she had to receive reprimands. All of that became an obstacle to a happy family life. The article also analyzes the work of the Tatar Language and Literature Department in the period from 1944 to 1951. An excerpt from the work of Professor Khatip Guzman “Formation of a new specialty”, which has been kept in the N.I. Lobachevsky library of Kazan University, provides information about the teachers who worked during those years, as well as about the students. On May 9, 1951 R.A. Khakimova was dismissed for health grounds. Unfortunately, the obstacles that arose in the scholar’s life left their mark: Rabiga Afzalovna’s health deteriorated dramatically, which caused her sudden death.

Western Civilization explains local governments and local democracy in the literature. It is emphasized that Eastern Civilization cannot produce a local government, local democracy. There is no emphasis on how local governments are shaped in the Ottoman/Eastern regions. Liberal history thesis; It is based in the West, and reads the relationship between the modern state and the local state. It is not his job to define pre-modernization. It evaluates the other parts of the world according to whether it fits the west. The material ground is the relations of production. According to this approach, there is no Islamic city or Eastern city. In this article, the traces of pre-modernization of the city administration in the Ottoman Empire, which is both Islam and the East, are examined and the invalidity of this thesis is examined. In this study, the Kadi Institution will be examined in order to trace the local government and local democracy in the Ottoman Empire. In this study, firstly, Kadi as an institution of Islam will be dealt with, and then the Ottoman State, Kadi Institution, Kadi appointment procedures and the hierarchy of the Kadi Institution, the duties of the Kadi and their role in the city will be emphasized. Finally, the changes in the Kadi institution and local government/local democracy with the modernization process will be evaluated by considering Tanzimat Edict and Islahat Edict.

Full textAbstract:
This article revisits the thesis put forward by Kent Calder that Japan's foreign policy is made by a reactive state incapable of sustained, innovative policy. Reviewing six recent books, we find that, while the reactive state thesis continues to inform scholarsip on the subject, new frameworks offer possibilities for seeing Japan's foreign policy as innovative and at times strategic. This article considers the strengths and weaknesses in recent attempts to create a more proactive foreign policy.

Full textAbstract:
In this chapter, Robert Pinker considers the more recent debates about community care as a key policy idea for social care by focusing on the recovery and cultivation of community that were on display in London in the 1880s in the Settlement Movement, and, in particular, at Toynbee Hall. Toynbee Hall, according to Pinker, was representative of the cross-currents of ideology and interest which were to transform the state–civil society relations in the formulation of British social welfare policies during the twentieth century. Pinker discusses some general issues with respect to formal social services and informal care in Britain. He also describes the community care programme at the University of Kent that focused on the decentralisation and specialisation of social work services for elderly people living in the community. Finally, he comments on the Griffiths proposals for community care and their implications for local authority personal social services.

Full textAbstract:
Multimedia software engineering (MSE) is a new frontier for both software engineering (SE) and visual languages (VL). In fact, multimedia software engineering can be considered as the discipline for systematic specification, design, substitution, and verification of visual patterns. Visual languages contribute to MSE such concepts as: Visual notation for software specification, design, and verification flow charts, ER diagrams, Petri nets, UML visualization, visual programming languages, etc. Multimedia software engineering and software engineering are like two sides of the same coin. On the one hand, we can apply software engineering principles to the design of multimedia systems. On the other hand, we can apply multimedia technologies to the software engineering practice. In this chapter, we concentrate on the first of these possibilities. One of the promising application areas for multimedia software engineering is distance learning. One aim of this chapter is to demonstrate how it is possible to design and to implement complex multimedia software systems for distance learning using a tele-action object transformer based on XML technology applying a component-based multimedia software engineering approach. The chapter shows a complete process of dataflow transformation that represents TAO in different ways (text, TAOML, etc.) and at different levels of abstraction. The transformation process is a reversible one. A component-based tool architecture is also discussed. We also show the first experiments conducted jointly using the TAOML_T tool. The use of an XML-based approach in the distance learning field has other advantages as well. It facilitates reuse of the teaching resources produced in preceding decades by universities, schools, research institutions, and companies by using metadata. The evolution of the technologies and methodologies underlying the Internet has provided the means to transport this material. On the other hand, standards for representing multimedia distance learning materials are currently evolving. Such standards are necessary in order to allow a representation which is independent of hardware and software platforms so that this material can be examined, for example, in a Web browser or so that it may be reused in whole or in part in other chapters of a book or sections of a course distinct from that for which it was originally developed. Initial experiments in reuse of distance learning carried out at the University of Naples, Kent State University, and Cleveland State University are described. The authors have also developed a collaboration environment through which the resources can be visualized and exchanged.

Full textAbstract:
The conditions of the golden age liberated Massachusetts State College from the forces that had restricted its development since the nineteenth century. In spurts of growth linked to demographic and political cycles, M.S.C. mushroomed from a limited-purpose college into a comprehensive university and from a single campus in Amherst into a multicampus system, with units in Worcester and Boston and a statewide president’s office. By the end of the period, UMass seemed finally to have joined its counterparts in western states as a full-fledged public university in the land grant tradition, with strong programs of graduate education and research built on a large undergraduate base and linked to public service activities of applied research and nondegree instruction. The evolutionary process remained incomplete, however, and Massachusetts was still Massachusetts. The state’s nonelite private institutions watched the public expansion nervously and organized to protect their interests. Other components of the public system, including the state colleges and a new network of community colleges, vied for support from an intensely politicized government still unsure of its role in higher education. Though the effort during the 1930s to transform Massachusetts State College into a full public university had ended in failure when the General Court shelved the enabling legislation, the university movement had gained important ground. In particular, by the end of the prewar decade, the loose coalition of students, alumni/ae, and organized labor that had kept the movement alive had stirred public interest and won support from the college’s trustees as well as its president, Hugh Potter Baker. Baker himself, with his roots in the scientific-technical traditions of land grant education, had been slow to endorse a broadened conception of his institution but once converted had become an eloquent and persistent advocate. Believing, despite his disappointment over the legislature’s inaction, that World War II would foster increased interest in higher education and create new opportunities for M.S.C., Baker used his annual reports during the war to reiterate the central arguments of the university movement: that, in comparison with other states, Massachusetts was not providing adequate support for public higher education; that demand for places at the college far exceeded enrollment capacity; that the region’s private institutions were not prepared to respond to the need; and that large numbers of Massachusetts residents were being forced to attend public universities in other states.

Makerere University archives are kept in Makerere University Library (Maklib) but their utilisation is limited. This chapter reports the findings of a study that analysed the types of archives in Maklib and the extent of their utilisation. A mixed method approach of a questionnaire, observation, and documents analysis was used. The data obtained was analysed as descriptive statistics. The population of the study included 302 Maklib users who visited the Africana Special Collection Section between May and June 2017. The findings revealed that the scope of the archives collection is limited in time and content, few users, limited publicity of existing records, deplorable state of the paper records, and long waiting time for the information to be provided. Recommendations include widening the collection, digitisation of the archives, further development of human resources capacity, and initiation of outreach programmes to boost the archives visibility and attract users.

Full textAbstract:
College student activism can cripple a campus for decades, as evidenced by the tragedies of Kent State University and Jackson State University. To prepare for the engagement of students, college administrators must prepare themselves, both in plans and in mindset, for the possibility of disruptive activism, and this begins with the identification of what acceptable activism can and should include. Building on the mindset that activism can indeed be a good thing, for both students and the institution, administrators must create priorities that protect the welfare of all involved, including the institution's brand and student learning. Subsequent thinking by campus leaders must maintain a humane and liberating response for students, and ultimately, although prepared, campus leaders must have a set of priorities planned that can incorporate and ultimately value the process of students speaking out on campus.

Note that benzyl ethers were stable to these conditions. Ken Suzuki of Asahi Kasei Chemicals and Shun-Ichi Murahashi of Okayama University of Science established conditions (Angew. Chem. Int.

Primary and secondary alcohols were stable to these conditions. Three noteworthy procedures for the oxidation of an aldehyde to the acid oxidation state were recently reported. Jonathan M. J. Williams of the University of Bath demonstrated (Chem. Commun. 2008, 624) that crotonitrile could serve as the hydrogen acceptor in the oxidation of an aldehyde 7 to the methyl ester 8. Note that isolated alkenes were stable to these conditions. Vikas N.

J. S. Yadav of the Indian Institute of Chemical Technology, Hyderabad observed (Tetrahedron Lett. 2008, 49, 3015) that the activation of a thiophenol 14 with N-chlorosuccimide generated a species that added regioselectively to a ketone 13 to give the thioether 15. Oxidation of the sulfide 15 followed by heating of the resulting sulfoxide would give the enone 16. This appears to be an easily scalable procedure. It is well known that an acid 17 and an amine 18 will condense at elevated temperature to give the amide 20.

Rethinking Urban Design Problems through Morphological Regions Ezgi Küçük¹, Ayşe Sema Kubat² ¹Urban Planning Coordinator, Marmara Municipalities Union ²Prof., Dr., Istanbul Technical Univercity, Faculty of Architecture, Department of City and Regional Planning E-mail: ezgikucuk89@gmail.com, kubat@itu.edu.tr Keywords: the Historical Peninsula, morphological regions, urban blocks, urban design, Beyazıt Square Conference topics and scale: Urban form and social use of space The concept of urban square is a debated issue in the context of urban design practices in Islamic cities. Recognizing the relation between urban morphology and urban design studies in city planning and urban design practices is highly vital. Beyazıt Square, which is the center of the city of Istanbul, could not be integrated to the other parts of the city either configurationally or socially although many design projects have been previously planned and discussed. In this study, the Historical Peninsula of Istanbul is observed as an essential unit of the traditional path reflecting each civilization, namely Roman, Byzantium, Ottoman and Republic of Turkey that have been settled in the region. Transformations in urban blocks in Beyazıt region are elaborated through a series of morphological analyses based on the Conzenian approach of urban morphology. Morphological regions of the Historical Peninsula are identified and Beyazıt region is addressed in detail in terms of the transformations in urban block components, that are; street, plot and buildings. The effects of surrounding units which are the mosque, university buildings, booksellers and Grandbazaar on Beyazıt Square are discussed according to the morphological analyses that are applied to the region. Previous design practices and the existing plan of the area are observed through the analyses including town plan, building block, and land use and ownership patterns. It is revealed that existing design problems in Beyazıt Square come from the absence of urban morphological analyses in all planning and design practices. Through morphological regions as well as the conservation plans, urban design projects can be reconsidered. References Baş, Y.

Full textAbstract:
Tightly moored single-body floating devices are an important class of offshore wave energy converters. Examples are the devices under development at the University of Uppsala, Sweden, and Oregon State University, USA, prototypes of which were recently tested off the western coast of Sweden and off the Oregon coast, respectively. These devices are equipped with a linear electrical generator. The mooring system consists of a cable that is kept tight by a spring or equivalent device. This cable also prevents the buoy from drifting away by providing a horizontal restoring force. The horizontal and (to a lesser extent) the vertical restoring force are nonlinear functions of the vertical and horizontal displacements of the buoy, which makes the system a nonlinear one (even if the spring and damper are linear), whose modelling requires a time-domain analysis. Such an analysis is presented, preceded by a simpler frequency-domain approach. Numerical results (motions and absorbed power) are shown for a system consisting of a hemispherical buoy in regular and irregular waves, a tight mooring cable and a power take-off system consisting of a linear spring and a linear damper.

Full textAbstract:
This 5 day-course is offered to undergraduate students at the Institute for Thermal Turbomachinery and Machine Dynamics at Graz University of Technology. Goal of the course is to give students an holistic education and to train a “understanding of systems function as wholes”. Within this course students are designing an axial turbine stage from the very beginning and apply all the theory learned in separate courses before. At first the students design the annulus and the blades. They determine the inlet and outlet velocity triangles for several channel heights and define the camber line of the profile before a thickness distribution is superimposed. Secondly, a 3d CAD model including a disk design is created to get a realistic blade root. Then the students perform a finite element analysis (FEA) of the rotor blade and evaluate mechanical stresses in distinct sections of the blade. Also, natural frequencies are determined and a Campbell diagram is calculated. If the students have proven that there design is free from mechanical problems a steady state simulation of the flow through one passage is performed. Due to the fact that there is one numerical simulation platform for FEA as well as for CFD, a coupling of the fluid structure interaction (FSI) can be realised as final step. In a 1 way FSI analysis the students evaluate basic aeroelastic characteristics. After finishing that theoretical part an experimental part follows in which the students measure the static wall pressure distribution on the suction and pressure surface of that particular mid span profile in a subsonic wind tunnel. Natural frequencies are also experimentally determined using laser vibrometers. At the end of the course students will “produce” their own rotor blade with a 3d-printer. The blade can be kept as a souvenir. This paper describes the content of the course in detail and presents some results of last year’s class and reports the feedback of the students.

Full textAbstract:
As offshore installations are moving into deeper water, engineers have to face new challenges in design of structures. Risers and free-span pipelines, subjected to heavy wave loads and large current velocities, are important components of these installations. Vortex induced vibrations (VIV) is a well known subject for most offshore engineers. VIV can cause large stresses and fatigue damage of slender marine structures. Hence, large safety factors are applied to the fatigue limit state design criterion (FLS), due to uncertainties regarding VIV. The present paper describes the preliminary investigation into the coupling between in-line and cross-flow VIV response. Most experimental data so far has been concentrated on predicting the cross-flow response. However, in-line displacements can make a valuable contribution. In fact, it has been proved that in-line responses may decrease the cross-flow response significantly when allowing the pipe to oscillate in both directions. The paper is based on a master of science thesis at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU).

Full textAbstract:
Collaboration between the Samara National Research University [1] and the JSC “KUZNETSOV” [2] included the research efforts in the field of increasing the performance of NK-36ST [3] gas turbine power plant intended for use as a driving unit of a gas compression station. The requirements included 3% increase in engine efficiency while keeping the maximum number of engine parts unchanged. First, the thermogasdynamic simulator of the NK-36ST gas turbine power plant was developed and verified using the results of experimental investigations. The impact of various parameters of the engine upon its efficiency was thoroughly investigated and the approach to modernization preserving most of the engine parts was suggested. This approach included increasing the values of work process parameters, the hydraulic efficiency of turbomachinery and reducing the cooling air consumption. Second, the analysis of the working process of turbomachinery was carried out. The air-gas channel in a meridional section was kept unchanged for the first iteration, thus keeping the parts of the initial engine unchanged, except for the blades and vanes of turbomachinery. For this variant, the parameters of compressors (head ratio and flow ratio) changed to more favorable values, supposedly providing 1–2% higher efficiency. Unfortunately, for this variant and the given restrictions the points, corresponding to the parameters of turbines moved at the Smith diagram to the unfavorable areas, thus making the increase in turbine efficiency very unlikely. The analysis had shown that to provide more convenient values of turbine parameters the blades should be shortened, and this decrease in blade length provides the possibility to increase the rotational speed of the rotor with the same strain levels of the blades and disks. As the result, the gas channel configuration and values of rotational speeds for the turbines providing the increase in their efficiency by 0.5%–1.0% were suggested. The suggested gas channel configuration preserves the same inner diameters thus keeping the disks layout the same. At the next stage, the shapes of the low-pressure turbine and compressor blades and the blades of free turbine were optimized using the Profiler program (developed at the Samara University), the NUMECA [4] system and the IOSO [5] optimization package, providing the 0.5%–1.0% increase in the efficiency in comparison to the initial variant. The results of the described research efforts provide the increase in engine efficiency of about 3% while providing the possibility to keep most of the rotor parts of the engine unchanged.

Full textAbstract:
The design of turbine frames with turning vanes, known as turning mid-turbine frames (TMTF), becomes of great importance for high by-pass ratio engines with counter-rotating turbines. To achieve a more efficient low-pressure turbine the overall diffusion and radial offset should be increased. One goal of the EU project DREAM is to analyse the flow through a TMTF and a downstream arranged counter rotating LP rotor. The investigation of these complex interrelationships has been performed in the unique two-spool continuously operating transonic test turbine facility at Graz University of Technology. The test setup consists of an unshrouded HP stage, the TMTF and a shrouded LP rotor. The shafts of both turbines are mechanically independent, so the test rig allows a realistic two shaft turbine operation. The TMTF flow field is highly complex. It is a turbulent and unsteady flow dominated by strong secondary flows and vortex-interactions. The upstream transonic high pressure turbine stage produces a complex inflow with high levels of turbulence, stationary and rotating wakes and vortical structures. Therefore the application of advanced measurement techniques is necessary. To describe the HP-TMTF interaction time-resolved pressure measurements have applied within the project. The TMTF was instrumented with 10 fast response pressure transducers; static pressure tap recordings on the strut and on the TMTF end-walls have been also applied. Five hole probe, total pressure and total temperature rakes have been additionally acquired in the planes just in front of the struts and downstream to evaluate the performance of the TMTF. The results of these conventional techniques are presented in this work and they represent the necessary starting point for the evaluation and the description of the flow field. The idea is to start the study analysing the mean quantities and the overall performance of the two stages for different conditions and to leave the analysis of the time-resolved results for further investigation. Detailed investigations will start from the data presented in this paper; indeed, the use of unsteady measurement techniques is time consuming and cannot be performed for such a large amount of flow conditions, radial planes and HP vane - TMTF relative positions. Three operating conditions for different clocking positions have been considered. The variation of the operating conditions has been achieved by varying the HP shaft velocity and pressure ratio, with a consequence change of pressure ratio in the LP rotor. For this analysis the LP shaft velocity was kept constant. The TMTF performance variations will be analysed in terms of total pressure loss coefficient and exit flow angle; the mean interaction between the structures coming from the HP stage and the struts will represent the interpretation key to explain these variations. This work is part of the EU project DREAM (ValiDation of Radical Engine Architecture SysteMs, contract No. ACP7-GA-2008-211861).

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The interaction of thermal barrier coating’s surface temperature with CMAS (calcium magnesium aluminosilicate) like deposits in gas turbine hot flowpath hardware is investigated. Small Hastelloy X coupons were coated in TBC using the air plasma spray (APS) method and then subjected to a thermal gradient via back-side impingement cooling and front-side impingement heating using the High Temperature Deposition Facility (HTDF) at The Ohio State University (OSU). A 1-D heat transfer model was used to estimate TBC surface temperatures and correlate them to intensity values taken from infrared (IR) images of the TBC surface. TBC frontside surface temperatures were varied by changing back-side mass flow (kept at a constant temperature), while maintaining a constant hot-side gas temperature and jet velocity representative of modern commercial turbofan high-pressure turbine (HPT) inlet conditions (approximately 1600K and 200 m/s, or Mach 0.25). In this study, Arizona Road Dust (ARD) was utilized to mimic the behavior of CMAS attack on TBCs. To identify the minimum temperature at which particles adhere, the back-side cooling mass flow was set to the maximum amount allowed by the test setup, and trace amounts of 0–10 μm ARD particles were injected into the hot-side flow to impinge on the TBC surface. The TBC surface temperature was increased through coolant reduction until noticeable deposits formed, as evaluated through an IR camera. Accelerated deposition tests were then performed where approximately 1 gram of ARD was injected into the hot side flow while the TBC surface temperature was held at various points above the minimum observed deposition temperature. Surface deposition on the TBC coupons was evaluated using an infrared camera and a backside thermocouple. Coupon cross sections were also evaluated under a scanning electron microscope for any potential CMAS ingress into the TBC. Experimental results of the impact of surface temperature on CMAS deposition and deposit evolution and morphology are presented. In addition, an Eulerian-Lagrangian solver was used to model the hot-side impinging jet with particles at four TBC surface temperatures and deposition was predicted using the OSU Deposition model. Comparisons to experimental results highlight the need for more sophisticated modeling of deposit development through conjugate heat transfer and mesh morphing of the target surface. These results can be used to improve physics-based deposition models by providing valuable data relative to CMAS deposition characteristics on TBC surfaces, which modern commercial turbofan high pressure turbines use almost exclusively.

Full textAbstract:
This master thesis explores the challenges for waste management business models in the field of textiles regarding the requirements of the circular economy, as well as improvement potentials in the current framework conditions. It is concerned with the research question: "Is it advisable to change the frame-work conditions at meso or macro level, with regard to business models for waste management companies in the textile sector that are oriented towards the requirements of the circular economy, and - if so - in what way?” The approach of the study is based on the delta analysis of the e Society for Institutional Analysis at the Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences. It compares the target state of the normative requirements with the actual state of the textile and waste management framework conditions and attempts to identify the gaps (the delta). Based on the delta, it develops approaches that are intended to help reduce the gaps. The thesis develops three business models for the target year 2025 in different areas: an exchange platform for sorters, recyclers and designers, an automatic sorting plant and a plant for fibre-to-fibre recycling of mixed materials. It is becoming clear that these business models cannot meet the target requirements for the circular economy. The analysis identifies the remaining gaps in the framework conditions as the main problem. For example, insufficient innovation impulses and the lack of competitiveness of secondary raw materials inhibit the actors from applying and using new technologies and business models. Restricted access to knowledge and information, as well as a lack of transparency between the actors, also prove to be problematic. In order to answer the research question, the study recommends altering the framework conditions at meso and macro level. It proposes a platform for cooperation between designers, the introduction of a material declaration system and an eco-design guideline for textiles as possible development options. In addition, this work offers a matrix of criteria to help the actors test and improve their new waste management business models regarding their suitability for the circular economy. The analysis is carried out from an outsider's perspective on the entire textile industry. It therefore cannot cover and deal with all aspects and individual circumstances of each player in detail. The necessary changes in the framework conditions that have been identified can therefore be used as a basis for further investigations.

Full textAbstract:
This publication based on a master thesis explores the challenges of the automotive industry regarding the European chemical regulations REACH and CLP, as well as potential improvements of the current compliance activities and the related incentives and barriers. It answers the research question: "To what extent should the compliance activities of actors in the automotive supply chain be extended in order to meet the requirements of European chemicals regulation; and where would it help to strengthen incentives in enforcement and the legal framework?“. The study’s structure is based on the transdisciplinary delta analysis of the Society for Institutional Analysis at the Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences. It compares the target state of the legal requirements and the requirements for corresponding compliance with the actual state of the actual compliance measures of the automotive players and attempts to identify their weak points (the delta). The main sources for the analysis are the legal texts and relevant court decisions as well as guideline-based expert interviews with automotive players based on Gläser & Laudel. As objects of the analysis, there are in addition answers to random enquiries according to Article 33 (2) REACH as well as the recommendations and guidelines of the industry associations. The analysis identifies the transmission of material information in the supply chain as a key problem. The global database system used for this purpose, the IMDS, shows gaps in the framework conditions. This results in compliance risk due to the dynamically developing regulation. In addition, the study identifies an incompliance of the investigated automobile manufacturers with regard to Art. 33 REACH. In answering the research question, the study recommends solutions to the automotive players that extend the current compliance activities.
