Muslims in making of Europe

Diese Masterarbeit beschäftigt sich hauptsächlich damit, wie die muslimische Bevölkerung in Europa im Hinblick auf Staatsbürgerschaft und Öffentlichkeit behandelt wird. Ich habe diese zwei Themen aus einem bestimmten Grund gewählt: mit der Diskussion dieser Themen möchte ich den Grad und die Bandbreite der politischen Partizipation von Muslimen in Europa charakterisieren. Um dieses Ziel zu erreichen, habe ich versucht, verschiedene Auffassungen von Individualität und Öffentlichkeit zu vergleichen, um die Unterschiede und Ähnlichkeiten zwischen verschiedenen Traditionen aufzuzeigen. In der Literatur über Muslime in Europa hat sich nach und nach eine Betrachtungsweise in den Vordergrund geschoben: die Entstehung einer Euro-Islamischen Öffentlichkeit, welche die nationalen Identitäten verschwinden, aber gleichzeitig eine transnational sozio-religiöse Bewegung neu aufleben lässt. Dieser Prozess hat zwei wichtige Wirkungen: die Rekonzeptualisierung des Minderheitenstatus im islamischen Recht und die Rekonstruktion der Auffassungen von Öffentlichkeit und Moderne in der liberalen politischen Theorie.In this thesis, main concern is how to approach the Muslim population in Europe in terms of citizenship and public sphere. I have chosen these two themes for a particular reason: through the discussions of the themes, my aim is to characterize the degree and scope of political participation of Muslims in Europe. To achieve this goal, I have tried to compare different notions of selfhood and the public to show the differences and similarities between different traditions. In the literature on Muslims in Europe, an observation has gradually become salient: the emergence of a Euro-Islamic public sphere that denudes the national identities but at the same time reinvigorates a transnational socio-religious movement. The process has reinvigorates two important impacts re-conceptualization of minority status in Islamic law and the re-construction of the notions of public sphere and modernity in liberal political theory

Electrodeposition of zinc-nickel alloys from ethylene glycol-based electrolytes in presence of additives for corrosion protection

In the present work the electrodeposition of zinc-nickel alloys with 15-20 wt.% nickel from non-aqueous solutions based on ethylene glycol is investigated. Potentiostatic deposition conditions are used, which are found to offer optimal coating quality and superior control over composition. In addition, ammonium chloride is evaluated as additive to partially suppress zinc incorporation into the deposit and to enhance layer quality. Layers composition, surface morphology of the deposits and their anticorrosive properties are investigated. The electrochemical characteristics of the Zn-Ni electrolytes are studied using cyclic voltammetry measurements. From the phase composition point view, X-ray diffraction results confirm that a metastable γ phase is present in the as deposited Zn-Ni alloys with nickel content 16-18 wt.%. Corrosion tests show that the barrier behaviour against corrosion of Zn-Ni films electrodeposited from the NH4Cl containing bath is superior in comparison to layers plated from an additive-free bath. The use of the additive enlarges the grains and provides a compact surface structure, which upskills the anticorrosive behaviour of the deposit

Electrodeposition of ZnNi Alloys from Choline Chloride/Ethylene Glycol Deep Eutectic Solvent and Pure Ethylene Glycol for Corrosion Protection

The present work follows the trend to develop non-aqueous electrolytes for the deposition of corrosion resistant ZnNi alloys. It investigates the use of the choline chloride/ethylene glycol (1:2 molar ratio) eutectic mixture and of pure ethylene glycol as solvents for ZnNi electroplating. The electrochemical behavior of Zn and Ni is investigated via cyclic voltammetry, and potentiostatic ZnNi deposition is performed. Ni content is found to be precisely tunable in the 10-20% wt range, which presents the highest industrial interest for corrosion protection. ZnNi coatings obtained are characterized from the morphological and phase composition point of view. Evidence of the formation of a metastable γZnNi phase is observed for both choline chloride/ethylene glycol and pure ethylene glycol. Finally, potentiodynamic corrosion tests are performed to assess their corrosion properties

Hybridisation, purification, and re-hybridisation: A study of shifting registers of value

The aim of this paper is to add to the discussion on hybrids and valuing. We argue that more dynamic theorising is needed to understand hybridity. The aim is thus to further the discussion and to nuance the theorisation of hybrids and values by focusing on their emergence and shifts. The study is qualitative, and the empirical base is the handling of the pandemic in a Swedish county council and a municipality. The research question is: How and why did values emerge and shift in the handling of the COVID-19 pandemic? Our first contribution is the development of concepts whereby we centre hybridisation, purification, and re-hybridisation, as well as the concepts of first- and second-order dissonance. The second contribution is the enhancement of our understanding of the dynamics of hybrids. Our theorising adds to studies indicating the risk of hybrid settings collapsing and then reverting to pure states because of what we call second-order dissonance. Pure states, however, are always at risk of first-order dissonance and of exploding into hybrid states. Our observations advance research into both valuing and accounting, which tends to focus on specific established values, or on how accounting for a value emerges

A study on correlations between antimicrobial effects and diffusion coefficient, zeta potential and droplet size of essential oils

It was hypothesized that inhibition zone of an essential oil (EO) in a Petri dish might be relevant to its diffusion coefficient (DC) into agar medium, which may be calculated from the Fick's diffusion. Antibacterial activities of cumin, dill weed, fennel, ginger and oregano EOs were evaluated against Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli. DCs, zeta potential and droplet sizes of EOs were measured. The inhibition zones of EOs had in accordance with DCs whereas they had a reverse relation with droplet size. The measured DCs were in the range of 0.82-1.50 x 10(-12) m(2) s(-1). The effective DC of EOs calculated from the total flux exhibited good correlations with measured DCs. Outcomes of this study may provide a pre-assessment for the antimicrobial activity of any EOs from its DC. Furthermore, it may help to understand the studies on how EOs pass through a bacterium cell and show antimicrobial effects.Hebei Provincial and University Science & Technology Cooperation and Development fund support project [130127]; Key Project of Philosophy and Social Sciences Research, Ministry of Education (China) Research on Green Design in Sustainable Development [16JZDH014, 16JZD014]Hebei Provincial and University Science & Technology Cooperation and Development fund support project (No. 130127) and the Key Project of Philosophy and Social Sciences Research, Ministry of Education (China) Research on Green Design in Sustainable Development(contract No. 16JZDH014, approval No. 16JZD014).WOS:0005930150000072-s2.0-8509085675
