Migrationspolitik in Deutschland polarisiert derzeit wie kaum ein anderes Thema. Einen zentralen Kritikpunkt aus der menschenrechtlichen Perspektive stellen hierbei fehlende gesetzlich verbindliche und einheitliche Standards in der Unterbringung von geflüchteten Menschen in Deutschland dar. Das Ausbleiben verbindlicher bundesweiter Vorgaben hat weitreichende negative Folgen insbesondere für vulnerable Gruppen unter den geflüchteten Menschen, wie Frauen, Kinder, Senior:innen, chronisch Kranke oder LGBTQ+ Personen.
Interne Audits können mehr

Dieser Beitrag zeigt, wie das Deutsche Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt e. V. (DLR) Zufriedenheitsanalysen aus zwei Sichtweisen durchführt: Aus Sicht der Auditoren und aus Sicht der Managementbeauftragten der auditierten Institute und Einrichtungen. Die Ergebnisse fließen in die jährliche Auditprogrammplanung ein. Damit wird der Nutzen von internen Audits gesteigert.

Farming communities confronted with climate change adopt formal and informal adaptation strategies to mitigate the effects of climate change. While the environmental and social effects of climate change are well documented, there is still a dearth of literature on girl-child marriage (formal marriage or informal union between a child under the age of 18 and an adult or another child) as a response to the effects of climate change. In this research, we ask if girl-child marriage is promoted as a social protection mechanism first, rather than as simply a response to climate-induced poverty. We use qualitative semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions to explore this question in a rural farming community in Northern Ghana. Our findings reveal that climate change shocks result in poverty and compel farmers to marry off their young daughters. The unmarried girl-child is perceived as an ‘extra mouth to feed’, a liability whose marriage becomes a strategy for protecting the family, the family’s reputation, and the girl child. The emphasis in girl-child marriage is not on the girl-child as an individual but on the family as a group. Hence, what is good for the family is assumed to be in the best interest of the girl-child. We place our analysis at the intersection of climate change, social protection, and the incidence of girl-child marriages. We argue that understanding this link is crucial and can contribute significantly to our knowledge of girl-child marriage as well as our ability to address this in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Trade of wild-caught animals is illegal for many taxa and in many countries. Common regulatory procedures involve documentation and marking techniques. However, these procedures are subject to fraud and thus should be complemented by routine genetic testing in order to authenticate the captive-bred origin of animals intended for trade. A suitable class of genetic markers are SNPSTRs that combine a short tandem repeat (STR) and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within one amplicon. This combined marker type can be used for genetic identification and for parentage analyses and in addition, provides insight into haplotype history. As a proof of principle, this study establishes a set of 20 SNPSTR markers for Athene noctua, one of the most trafficked owls in CITES Appendix II. These markers can be coamplified in a single multiplex reaction. Based on population data, the percentage of observed and expected heterozygosities of the markers ranged from 0.400 to 1.000 and 0.545 to 0.850, respectively. A combined probability of identity of 5.3*10-23 was achieved with the whole set, and combined parentage exclusion probabilities reached over 99.99%, even if the genotype of one parent was missing. A direct comparison of an owl family and an unrelated owl demonstrated the applicability of the SNPSTR set in parentage testing. The established SNPSTR set thus proved to be highly useful for identifying individuals and analysing parentage to determine wild or captive origin. We propose to implement SNPSTR-based routine certification in wildlife trade as a way to reveal animal laundering and misdeclaration of wild-caught animals.
