“…While Backhaus-Maul et al (2015, 456) developed a typology for the ideas of engagement and its promotion through actors in welfare organizations, there are very few comparable current analyses and findings in the German discourse concerning how engagement in other organizations is encouraged and integrated into the provision of services. In the German social science discourse, there are only compressed case studies on selected actors of the local engagement-promoting infrastructure (Wolf & Zimmer, 2012), comparatively older findings for volunteer agencies only (Speck et al, 2012), and rather descriptive representations of the local engagementpromoting infrastructure (Jakob, 2010).…”

When political actors mandate the use of protective masks or makeshift masks in public, and these products are scarce on the market, local engagement-promoting organizations arrange their procurement independently. Taking on the responsibility of serving the local need for makeshift masks is based on the engagement of the citizens: as resource contributors and sewers they follow the call of community foundations, for example, to produce masks as a way of practicing solidarity with local actors. Through the 'netnographic' access to and a network-analytical perspective on self-presentations of community foundations, the present article deals with the question of how these foundations organize the production and provision of the product 'makeshift mask'. Conclusions are (1) that the network function of the local organizations of civil society with regard to the operation and fulfillment of the need for makeshift masks is central and (2) that voluntaryand solidaritybased engagement gains market-relevance through the production of a 'valuable' product. At the same time, however, solidarity as a basis for action is fragile because it arises from the active engagement of citizens, which also rests on the expectations of reciprocity.

“…Astromineralogy, the study of the precise and detailed nature of dust grains in space, has developed rapidly over the past few decades (see reviews in Speck et al 1997;Speck 1998;Speck et al 2000;Molster 2000;Waters & Molster 1999;Henning 2003;Kwok 2004;Pitman et al 2010;Guha Niyogi et al 2011a;Speck 2012). However, interpretation of dust grains is still limited by the paucity and quality of mineral data used for comparison with and modeling of astronomical observations.…”

Astronomical" or "circumstellar" silicate optical functions (real and imaginary indices of refraction n(λ) and k(λ)) have been previously derived from compositionally and structurally disparate samples; past values were compiled from different sources in the literature, and are essentially kluges of observational, laboratory, and extrapolated or interpolated values. These synthetic optical functions were created because astronomers lack the quantitative data on amorphous silicates at all wavelengths needed for radiative transfer modeling. This paper provides optical functions that (1) are created with a consistent methodology, (2) use the same sample across all wavelengths, and (3) minimize interpolation and extrapolation wherever possible. We present electronic data tables of optical functions derived from mid-ultraviolet to far-infrared laboratory transmission spectra for two materials: iron-free glass with chondritic/solar atmospheric abundances, and metallic iron. We compare these optical functions to other popular n, k data used to model amorphous silicates (e.g., "astronomical" or "circumstellar" silicate), both directly and in application to a simple system: the dust shell of the post-AGB star HD 161796. Using the new optical functions, we find that the far-IR profile of model SEDs are significantly affected by the ratio of glass to iron. Our case study on HD161796 shows that modeling with our new optical functions, the mineralogy is markedly different from that derived using synthetic optical functions and suggests a new scenario of crystalline silicate formation.
