We consider the emergence of normative moral justifications through householding practices that rest on local mobilisation of people in defence of communities and commitments against the adverse impacts of neoliberal market capitalism. Our perspective draws on Karl Polanyi's conceptualisation of householding, that is, autarchic, communistic provision in a closed community. Using timebanking as an example, we illustrate how a moral sharing economy can be mobilised in collective battles against the current neoliberal system of economic crisis. We contribute to the amassing sharing economy literature emphasising a central, yet missing element of the current discourse: householding as practices creating self-sufficiency and autonomy as well as combining both kin and stranger.}, language = {en} } @article{SahakianFuchsLoreketal.2021, author = {Sahakian, Marlyne and Fuchs, Doris and Lorek, Sylvia and DiGiulio, Antonietta}, title = {Advancing the concept of consumption corridors and exploring its implications}, series = {Sustainability: Science, Practice and Policy}, journal = {Sustainability: Science, Practice and Policy}, doi = {10.25974/fhms-16064}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:hbz:836-opus-160646}, year = {2021}, abstract = {As a salutogenic concept, "consumption corridors" aims to support what is necessary for sustainable wellbeing to be achieved in relation to the Earth system, with a deep consideration for justice and equity. Living in consumption corridors is a representation of everyday life whereby people live within limits, so that all people - now and in the future - can access what is needed to live a good life. In this special issue, a series of scholars and practitioners have come together to further develop the concept, engage with its ethodological implications, and relate it to consumption domains and policy implications. We begin by introducing how the concept emerged, in relation to the complexity of grappling with the societal transformations required for achieving more sustainable forms of consumption. We then present the different contributions, which demonstrate the importance of considering both maximum and minimum consumption standards, the relevance of human-need theories, as well as the difference between achieving wellbeing and the means necessary for doing so. We conclude by opening up to areas that merit further deliberation: how to relate consumption corridors to everyday-life dynamics, but also to the critical question of power relations at play in implementing consumption corridors.}, language = {en} } @article{CleverSchattoEckrodtCleveretal.2023, author = {Clever, Lena and Schatto-Eckrodt, Tim and Clever, Nico and Frischlich, Lena}, title = {Behind Blue Skies: A Multimodal Automated Content Analysis of Islamic Extremist Propaganda on Instagram}, series = {Social Media + Society}, volume = {9}, journal = {Social Media + Society}, number = {1}, doi = {10.25974/fhms-17946}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:hbz:836-opus-179468}, year = {2023}, language = {en} } @article{HeidtFobkerNewportetal.2023, author = {Heidt, C. and Fobker, M. and Newport, M. and Feldmann, R. and Fischer, T. and Marquardt, T.}, title = {Beta-Hydroxybutyrate (BHB), Glucose, Insulin, Octanoate (C8), and Decanoate (C10) Responses to a Medium-Chain Triglyceride (MCT) Oil with and without Glucose: A Single-Center Study in Healthy Adults}, series = {Nutrients}, volume = {15}, journal = {Nutrients}, number = {5}, doi = {10.25974/fhms-17085}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:hbz:836-opus-170851}, pages = {1 -- 17}, year = {2023}, language = {en} } @article{FischerOchKlawonetal.2018, author = {Fischer, T. and Och, U. and Klawon, I. and Och, T. and Gr{\"u}neberg, M. and Fobker, M. and Bordewick-Dell, U. and Marquardt, T.}, title = {Effect of a sodium and calcium DL-ß-hydroxybutyrate salt in healthy adults}, series = {Journal of Nutrition and Metabolism}, volume = {2018}, journal = {Journal of Nutrition and Metabolism}, doi = {10.25974/fhms-17118}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:hbz:836-opus-171188}, pages = {1 -- 8}, year = {2018}, language = {en} } @article{TrottaSpangenbergLorek2018, author = {Trotta, Gianluca and Spangenberg, Joachim and Lorek, Sylvia}, title = {Energy efficiency in the residential sector: identification of promising policy instruments and private initiatives among selected European countries}, series = {Energy Efficiency}, volume = {December 2018, vol. 11}, journal = {Energy Efficiency}, number = {8}, doi = {10.1007/s12053-018-9739-0}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:hbz:836-opus-104617}, pages = {2111 -- 2135}, year = {2018}, abstract = {Improving residential energy efficiency is widely recognized as one of the best strategies for reducing energy demand, combating climate change and increasing security of energy supply. However, progress has been slow to date due to a number of market and behavioural barriers that have not been adequately addressed by energy efficiency policies and programmes. This study is based on updated findings of the European Futures for Energy Efficiency Project that responds to the EU Horizon 2020 Work Programme 2014-15 theme 'Secure, clean and efficient energy'. This article draws on five case studies from selected European countries - Finland, Italy, Hungary, Spain, and the UK - and evaluates recent energy efficiency developments in terms of indicators, private initiatives, and policy measures in the residential sector. Our analysis shows that the UK government has implemented a better range of policies, coupled with initiatives from the private sector, aimed at improving energy efficiency. However, its existing conditions appear to be more problematic than the other countries. On the other hand, the lack of effective and targeted policies in Finland resulted in increased energy consumption, while in Hungary, Spain and Italy some interesting initiatives, especially in terms of financial and fiscal incentives, have been found.}, language = {en} } @article{LorekSpangenberg2019, author = {Lorek, Sylvia and Spangenberg, Joachim}, title = {Energy sufficiency through social innovation in housing}, series = {Energy Policy}, volume = {126, March 2019}, journal = {Energy Policy}, doi = {10.1016/j.enpol.2018.11.026}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:hbz:836-opus-104638}, pages = {287 -- 294}, year = {2019}, abstract = {Experience shows that energy savings through energy efficiency measures are partly compensated by income growth, and partly by rebound effects. Therefore to be effective, efficiency measures have to be embedded in a concept of sufficiency which strives for limits and absolute reduction of energy consumption. While the sufficiency concept is not new, it only recently gained attention in the field of housing. This paper provides a basis for broader and more informed debates in policy and research on the potential of sufficiency considerations to contribute to the overall reduction of energy consumption in the residential sector. It recommends shifting the attention from energy consumption of buildings towards a concept of sustainable homes in which e.g. the size of the living area plays a crucial role. A further important aspect is the possibility to fulfil other basic needs like the provision with food, recreation and social contacts in the nearby environment. The paper describes first examples of housing projects guided by sufficiency criteria, depicts the potential roles of different actor groups and points towards some general policy recommendations.}, language = {en} } @article{SpangenbergLorek2002, author = {Spangenberg, J.

However, neither accounting based on the system of national accounts SNA nor household economics provide the proper instruments to assess the environmental impact of household decision making. Eco-efficiency assessments as familiar in the business sector provide no appropriate tool for households. As an alternative an environmental space based assessment scheme is suggested covering the major pressures on the environment caused by household decisions. The methodology is used twice: once to analyse the environmental relevance of the main activity clusters of household consumption and once to identify the dominant acts of consumption within each cluster. The latter provide the basis for deriving environmental performance indicators. A rough analysis of household influence potentials permits to identify housing, eating and mobility as the three priority fields for action for minimising the environmental impact of households. Extending the influence analysis actor matrixes are derived allocating influence and thus responsibility for environmental pressures to different groups of economic agents.}, language = {en} } @article{BoeseFrenserSchumacheretal.2024, author = {B{\"o}se, Vanessa and Frenser, Marius and Schumacher, Melanie and Fischer, Tobias}, title = {Evaluation of the Scientific Quality and Usability of Digital Dietary Assessment Tools}, series = {Dietetics}, volume = {3}, journal = {Dietetics}, number = {2}, doi = {10.25974/fhms-17960}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:hbz:836-opus-179602}, pages = {159 -- 169}, year = {2024}, language = {en} } @article{KranzKettlerKoederetal.2023, author = {Kranz, Ragna-Marie and Kettler, Carmen and Koeder, Christian and Husain, Sarah and Anand, Corinna and Schoch, Nora and Englert, Heike}, title = {Health Economic Evaluation of a Controlled Lifestyle Intervention: The Healthy Lifestyle Community Program (Cohort 2; HLCP-2)}, series = {Nutrients}, journal = {Nutrients}, doi = {10.25974/fhms-17454}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:hbz:836-opus-174544}, year = {2023}, abstract = {Non-communicable diseases (NCD) are associated with high costs for healthcare systems. We evaluated changes in total costs, comprising direct and indirect costs, due to a 24-month non-randomized, controlled lifestyle intervention trial with six measurement time points aiming to improve the risk profile for NCDs. Overall, 187 individuals from the general population aged ≥18 years were assigned to either the intervention group (IG; n = 112), receiving a 10-week intensive lifestyle intervention focusing on a healthy, plant-based diet; physical activity; stress management; and community support, followed by a 22-month follow-up phase including monthly seminars, or a control group (CG; n = 75) without intervention. The complete data sets of 118 participants (IG: n = 79; CG: n = 39) were analyzed. At baseline, total costs per person amounted to 67.80 ± 69.17 EUR in the IG and 48.73 ± 54.41 EUR in the CG per week. The reduction in total costs was significantly greater in the IG compared to the CG after 10 weeks (p = 0.012) and 6 months (p = 0.004), whereas direct costs differed significantly after 10 weeks (p = 0.017), 6 months (p = 0.041) and 12 months (p = 0.012) between the groups.
