Franziskanerin berichtet von ihren Erfahrungen als Sozialarbeiterin in der Veranstaltungsreihe „Religion am Donnerstag“

Extreme Armut und Notsituationen, falsche Versprechungen und die Hoffnung auf ein besseres Leben bringen Frauen dazu, ihre Heimatländer zu verlassen. Durch finanzielle Abhängigkeit, Ausnutzung ihrer Hilflosigkeit, Androhung und Ausübung von psychischer und physischer Gewalt werden sie oft in ausbeuterische Beziehungen und Arbeitsverhältnisse oder in die Prostitution gezwungen und so ihrer Rechte und Würde beraubt.

Die Franziskanerin und Sozialarbeiterin Sr. Anna Mayrhofer war viele Jahre lang in Deutschland Mitarbeiterin bei SOLWODI (Solidarity with women in distress – Solidarität mit Frauen in Not) und Leiterin der Schutzwohnung in Wien. In ihrem Vortrag im Rahmen der Veranstaltungsreihe „Religion am Donnerstag“ beleuchtet sie Hintergründe und Auswirkungen von Menschenhandel.

Setback: Austria's greenhouse gas emissions rise in 2025

Climate protection is currently facing an uphill battle. The United Nations have recently been unable to agree on a roadmap for phasing out fossil fuels, even though global warming continues to accelerate. Also Austria still does not have a national climate law with a clear target path for reducing emissions. This is evidently taking its toll: Austria’s greenhouse gas emissions rose again in 2025 for the first time in years, by around two and a half percent, according to calculations by researchers at the University of Graz. In addition to overly cautious climate action measures, this is due to somewhat colder winter months compared to 2024, which are driving up natural gas consumption.

Kink in the curve: Eleonore Faber researches the "fuzzy" parts of algebra

How can the movements of robotic arms be described using maths? And what does a computer need to understand in order to function? The magic word to answer these questions is algebra. Eleonore Faber has been a professor of this branch of mathematics at the University of Graz for two years. She is particularly interested in complex phenomena that cannot be fully understood using conventional rules or laws - where algebra becomes "fuzzy".
