  abstract  = {Introduction: Many disease processes are accompanied and promoted by increased inflammation in the body. Increased concentrations of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) in the blood are an indicator of subclinical inflammation, increased disease risk, and an increased risk of early death. A healthy plant-based diet and increased physical activity have been shown to reduce hs-CRP concentrations. Objectives: Our objective was to test if a healthy lifestyle intervention program can improve hs-CRP levels and other risk factors. Methodology: We are conducting a non-randomized, controlled intervention study with 6 times of measurement (baseline, after 2.5, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months). Participants in the intervention group (n = 104) took part in a 2.5-month intensive lifestyle program focusing on a plant-based diet (PBD), physical activity, stress management and group support. Currently they are in the less intensive phase (monthly seminars) which will be completed after 24 months. The control group (n = 62) did not take part in any program. In both groups hs-CRP was assessed, and participants with an infection/common cold at any of the times of measurement were excluded from the analyses. Results: In the intervention group (n = 97) we observed a reduction in hsCRP from baseline to 2.5 months (p < 0.001). In the control group (n = 46) hs-CRP levels increased non-significantly. The changes from baseline to 2.5 months were significantly different between intervention and control (p < 0.01). Conclusion: Our program led to a clinically relevant reduction in hs-CRP. Continued follow-up will show if this improvement can be maintained in the intervention group. Our study confirms that a PBD and healthier lifestyle choices can lower hs-CRP.},

  abstract  = {Coworking Spaces sind mittlerweile fester Bestandteil der digitalen Arbeitslandschaft in Großst{\"a}dten. Nach und nach halten sie auch im l{\"a}ndlichen Raum Einzug. Studien und Modellprojekte haben bewiesen, dass sie sowohl gesellschaftlich als auch wirtschaftlich eine positive Wirkung auf strukturschw{\"a}chere Regionen haben k{\"o}nnen. Sie bieten ein attraktives Umfeld f{\"u}r Kreative und Gr{\"u}nder und erm{\"o}glichen den Austausch mit lokalen Unternehmen. Außerdem k{\"o}nnen sie daf{\"u}r sorgen, dass Pendler* innen zum Arbeiten vor Ort bleiben. In weniger dicht besiedelten Regionen, wie dem M{\"u}nsterland, ist der profitable Betrieb von Coworking Spaces bisweilen schwierig. Da naturgem{\"a}ß die Standortwahl eines Coworking Space ein entscheidendes Kriterium f{\"u}r seine sp{\"a}tere Wirtschaftlichkeit ist, wird diese in der vorliegenden Studie untersucht. Dazu werden auf Coworking Spaces zugeschnittene und von Experten gewichtete Standortfaktoren aufgestellt und die 65 Orte des M{\"u}nsterlands anhand dieser Faktoren bewertet. So entsteht ein Ranking, welches aufzeigt, wo die besten Voraussetzungen f{\"u}r Coworking Spaces herrschen. In einigen St{\"a}dten im M{\"u}nsterland gibt es bereits Coworking Spaces. Einem Großteil dieser Orte wird durch diese Studie eine gute Eignung best{\"a}tigt. Beispielsweise schneiden Rheine und Bocholt aufgrund ihrer hohen Einwohnerzahl am besten ab. Es wird jedoch deutlich, dass auch andere Faktoren ausschlaggebend sein k{\"o}nnen. So bewerten Expert*innen die digitale Infrastruktur und Erreichbarkeit als sehr wichtig. F{\"u}r diese Faktoren stellen vergleichsweise kleine Orte die Bestwerte, die bislang noch keine Coworking Spaces vorweisen k{\"o}nnen. Die Ergebnisse informieren Betreiber*innen von Coworking Spaces und solche, die es werden wollen, sowie politische Entscheidungstr{\"a}ger*innen {\"u}ber m{\"o}gliche Potenziale in den jeweiligen Orten. Sie zeigen auf, an welchen Stellschrauben gedreht werden kann, um gute Voraussetzungen zu schaffen. Dar{\"u}ber hinaus wird empfohlen, das entstehende Angebot aufeinander abzustimmen und gemeinschaftlich vorzugehen - so, wie es der Begriff Coworking bereits verdeutlicht.},

  abstract  = {Background. Ketone bodies are a highly relevant topic in nutrition and medicine. -e influence of medium-chain triglycerides (MCT) on ketogenesis is well known and has been successfully used in ketogenic diets for many years. Nevertheless, the effects of MCTs and coconut oil on the production of ketone bodies have only partially been investigated. Furthermore, the increased mobilisation of free fatty acids and release of catabolic hormones by caffeine suggest an influence of caffeine on ketogenesis. Methods. In a controlled, double-blind intervention study, seven young healthy subjects received 10mL of tricaprylin (C8), tricaprin (C10), C8/C10 (50\% C8, 50\% C10), or coconut oil with or without 150 mg of caffeine, in 250mL of decaffeinated coffee, over ten interventions. At baseline and after every 40 minutes, for 4 h, ßHB and glucose in capillary blood as well as caffeine in saliva were measured. Furthermore, questionnaires were used to survey sensory properties, side effects, and awareness of hunger and satiety. Results. -e interventions with caffeine caused an increase in ßHB levels—in particular, the interventions with C8 highly impacted ketogenesis. -e effect decreased with increased chain lengths. All interventions showed a continuous increase in hunger and diminishing satiety. Mild side effects (total � 12) occurred during the interventions. Conclusions. -e present study demonstrated an influence of caffeine and MCTon ketogenesis. -eaddition of caffeine showed an additive effect on the ketogenic potential of MCT and coconut oil. C8 showed the highest ketogenicity.},

  abstract  = {Food-processing companies are controlled by societal influences and economic interests, but their efforts with regard to reducing food loss and waste are very different. This qualitative study aims to identify basic recommendations of good practice for the food-processing industry in order to prevent and handle food loss and waste. For this purpose, a comprehensive literature review was conducted in the field of food waste prevention and data was collected from thirteen German companies. The findings summarize the recommendations of good practice, which cover the entire supply chain from supplier to consumer and beyond. The analysis showed that the participating companies are already partially aware of operational measures, even if they are applied or mentioned without a systematic approach. Furthermore, the analysis revealed that most activities relate to internal matters, like processing, employees and utilization. However, the responsibility of foodprocessing companies does not end with internal processes to reduce food waste. The results show that some companies are already aware of their responsibility to be involved along the entire supply chain. Finally, the results show that the needs of consumers and suppliers must also be considered in order to reduce food waste, in addition to direct reduction measures. This paper highlights nine important stages and 53 basic recommendations for companies to address food loss and waste in order to improve their practices.},

  abstract  = {Introduction: Moving towards a more plant-based dietary pattern would likely be beneficial in terms of a variety of sustainability dimensions. Methodology: We conducted a 2-year intervention study with six measurement time points (baseline, 10 weeks, 6 months, 1 year, 1½ years, 2 years) in rural northwest Germany. The intervention consisted of a lifestyle programme, and dietary recommendations were to move towards a healthy, plant-based diet. The control group received no intervention. Diet quality was assessed with the healthful plant-based diet index (hPDI). Results: In the intervention group (n = 67), the 2-year trajectory of hPDI was significantly higher compared to control (n = 39; p 0.001; between-group difference: 5.7 (95\% CI 4.0, 7.3) food portions/day; adjusted for baseline). The 2-year trajectory of meat intake was significantly lower in the intervention group (n = 79) compared to control (n = 40; p 0.001; between-group difference: -0.7 (95\% CI -0.9, -0.5) portions/day; adjusted for baseline). Conclusion: Our study confirms that plant-based nutrition education in the general population is likely to result in at least modest dietary improvements in terms of general healthfulness and meat reduction.},

Rejecting familiar recitations of problems of ecological decline and planetary boundaries, this compact book instead offers a spirited explication of what everyone desires: a good life. Fundamental concepts of the good life are explained and explored, as are forces that threaten the good life for all. The remedy, says the book's seven international authors, lies with the concept of consumption corridors, enabled by mechanisms of citizen engagement and deliberative democracy. Across fve concise chapters, readers are invited into conversation about how wellbeing can be enriched by social change that joins "needs satisfaction" with consumerist restraint, social justice, and environmental sustainability. In this endeavour, lower limits of consumption that ensure minimal needs satisfaction for all are important, and enjoy ample precedent. But upper limits to consumption, argue the authors, are equally essential, and attainable, especially in those domains where limits enhance rather than undermine essential freedoms.},

  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.},
