Demokratietage bieten die Chance, Grundsätze und Voraussetzungen demokratischen Zusammenlebens zu vergegenwärtigen, den Status quo, eigene Interessen und aktuelle Herausforderungen der Demokratie – in Schule, Gesellschaft und weltweit – in den Blick zu nehmen und demokratische Entwicklungen zu stärken. Als Zäsur im Schulalltag können sie Feier, Reflexionsanlass und Motor demokratischer Schulkultur sein.
Detection of Preferential Water Flow by Electrical Resistivity Tomography and Self-Potential Method
(2021)
This study explores the hydrogeological conditions of a landslide-prone hillslope in the Upper Mosel valley, Luxembourg. The investigation program included the monitoring of piezometer wells, hydrogeological field tests, analysis of drillcore records, and geophysical surveys. Monitoring and field testing in some of the observation wells indicated very pronounced preferential flow. Electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) and self-potential geophysical methods were employed in the study area for exploration of the morphology of preferential flowpaths. Possible signals associated with flowing groundwater in the subsurface were detected; however, they were diffusively spread over a relatively large zone, which did not allow for the determination of an exact morphology of the conduit. Analysis of drillcore records indicated that flowpaths are caused by the dissolution of thin gypsum interlayers in marls. For better understanding of the site’s hydrogeological settings, a 3D hydrogeological model was compiled. By applying different subsurface flow mechanisms, a hydrogeological model with thin, laterally extending flowpaths embedded in a porous media matrix showed the best correspondence with field observations. Simulated groundwater heads in a preferential flow conduit exactly corresponded with the observed heads in the piezometer wells. This study illustrates how hydrogeological monitoring and geophysical surveys in conjunction with the newest hydrogeological models allow for better conceptualization and parametrization of preferential flow.
Ein Demokratietag bietet die Möglichkeit, die demokratiepädagogische Schulentwicklung in den Blick zu nehmen, den aktuellen Stand der Partizipationsmöglichkeiten, Arbeitsgruppen und Gremien zu reflektieren und gemeinsam neue Vorhaben und Projekte anzustoßen und für die Schulgemeinschaft zu gestalten.
Perennial energy crops (PECs) are increasingly used as feedstock to produce energy in an environmental friendly way. Compared to traditional conversion strategies like thermal use, sophisticated technologies such as biomethanation defined different re-quirements of the feedstock. Whereas the first concept relies on dry, woody mate-rial, biomethanation requires a moist feedstock. Thus, over time, the spectrum of species used as PECs has widened. Moreover, harvest dates were adjusted to pro-vide the feedstock at suitable moisture contents. It is well known that perennial, lignocellulose- based energy crops, compared to annual, sugar- and starch- based ones, offer ecological advantages such as, inter alia, improving biodiversity in landscape, protecting soil against erosion, and protecting groundwater from nutrient inputs. However, one of the main arguments for PEC cultivation was their undemanding nature concerning external inputs. With respect to the broader spectrum of PEC spe-cies and changed harvest dates, the question arises whether the concept of PECs being low- input energy crops is still valid. This also implies the question of suitable grow-ing conditions and sustainable management. The aims of this opinion paper were to classify different PECs according to their life- form strategy, compare nutrient exports when harvested in different maturation stages, and to discuss the results in the context of sustainable PEC cultivation on marginal land. This study revealed that nutrient exports with yield biomass of PECs harvested in green state are in the same range than those of annual energy crops and therewith several times higher than those of PECs harvested in brown state or of woody short rotation coppices. Thus, PECs can-not universally be claimed as low- input energy crops. These results also imply the consequences of cultivation of PECs on marginal land. Finally, the question has to be raised whether the term PECs should prospectively be better specified in written and spoken words.
Une Journée de la démocratie offre l’occasion de prendre du recul par rapport au développement de l’éducation à la démocratie en milieu scolaire, de réfléchir à l’état actuel des possibilités de participation, des groupes de travail et des comités, ainsi que de lancer conjointement de nouveaux plans et projets et de les façonner pour la communauté scolaire.
Les Journées de la démocratie offrent l’opportunité de discuter des défis sociaux actuels et des bases du vivre-ensemble démocratique en dehors de la classe, tout en impliquant plusieurs disciplines et différents groupes d’apprentissage. Cela s’applique tout autant aux écoles primaires que secondaires.
