Export potential of meat produced under high animal welfare standards in Germany (Project)
...First, work package WP-1 presents the current state of knowledge. In work package WP-2 expert interviews provide an overview of the meat market in the respective countries which also help to give a first indication of consumer expectations. Based on the outcome of WP-1 and 2 work package 3 qualitatively examines consumer attitudes, preferences and willingness to pay with the help of focus group discussions. ...

Consideration of climate change in the implementation of the European Water Frame-work Directive - Development of adaptation options for the planning of measures and the review of the evaluation criteria (Project)
...In the context of necessary renaturation measures to improve the ecological status according to the EC-WFD, conflicts may arise in the context of climate change, because 1) climate change may influence the success of renaturation measures and 2) climate-induced changes in the biocoenoses living in the water bodies may lead to difficulties in the ecological status assessment according to the EC-WFD in the future. This may require an adaptation of assessment criteria and metrics, which is why the objectives of the KliMSA project are: 1. assessment of the consequences of climate change and extreme low flow periods on the eco-logi-cal status of watercourses. 2. adaptation of the assessment criteria and metrics of the ecological status assessment according to the EC WFD 3. development of measures to reduce the impacts of climate change on aquatic biodiversity and to increase the resilient properties of watercourses 4. elaboration of strategies to communicate the success of EC WFD measures...

Future rodent management for pig and poultry health (Project)
...These objectives are in focus: 1) To record the prevalence of zoonotic pathogens in the rodent population (risk of infection to livestock) incl. changes in species composition and population size if conventional rodent management in/around farms is ceased. 2) Derive recommendations for ecologically and economically sustainable strategies for the management of pest rodents and associated health risks to livestock. These research aspects will be addressed: 1) Current status of rodent-borne pathogens in different husbandry systems of livestock in the EU. 2) Prevalence of relevant pathogens in pig and poultry husbandry in selected farms. 3) Role of rodents in pathogen transmission in/around the farm area at varying disturbance levels. 4) Impact of a possible ban of anticoagulant rodenticides on the health of livestock. 5) Options to help to maintain livestock health without/at further restricted use of anticoagulant rodenticides....

Nrf2-deficient human cell lines as a biological tool to screen for compounds of toxicological concern in consumer products. (Project)
...We propose that stable inhibition of Nrf2 expression by RNA interference increases the sensitivity of immortalized human skin cells against electrophiles (e.g. aldehydes and ketones). ...To verify our concept, we will examine the cytotoxicity of selected sunscreen components including cinnamal as positive control in human cell lines deficient or naive for Nrf2 expression. To this end, we will apply the WST-cell viability assay (Roche). ...

Crop cultivation optimization of winter faba bean growing (Vicia faba L.) (Project)
...The focus of this project is the optimized cultivation of the winter form of faba bean (Vicia faba L.) which can be used as protein-rich fodder for domestic animals and as substrate, rich in trace elements, for biogas plants. ...Therefore, spring oat (Avena sativa L.) will be used as a catch crop grown after cereals and previously of winter faba bean. ...The following hypotheses will be tested: 1. Oat, as catch crop, significantly lowers the Nmin value in the soil and reduces the risk of nitrate leaching. 2. ...

Collaborative project: Method developments for the assessment of formulation impact on the activation of dendritic cells in coculture with keratinocytes - subproject 1 (Project)
...This will be achieved by using different keratinocytes (HaCaT keratinocytes, pre-activated keratinocytes and epidermal skin models) in coculture with THP-1 cells as a model for dendritic cells. For example, fragrances, hair dyes and other cosmetic ingredients as well as individual formulations and mixtures thereof are added to cocultured cells or are applied to a skin model (epidermis model) with THP-1 cells placed on the basolateral side. In addition to the investigation of viability and activation state of the THP-1 cells, studies on changes in the release of cytokines and chemokines as well as on the fate or specific conversion of individual substances after exposure are carried out using mass spectrometric methods. ...Overall, the results obtained will help a) to determine the extent of interactions, b) to perform their toxicological assessment and c) to consider consequences relevant for the safety assessment....
