    Kurzfassung: "Jack Triplett and Barry Bosworth analyze services sector productivity, demonstrating that fundamental changes have taken place in this sector of the U.S. economy. They show that growth in the services industries fueled the post-1995 expansion in U.S. productivity and assess the role of information technology in transforming and accelerating services productivity. In addition to their findings for the services sector as a whole, they include separate chapters for a diverse range of industries within the sector, including transportation and communications, wholesale and retail trade, and finance and insurance."--BOOK JACKET

    Kurzfassung: Since Peter Stuyvesant greeted with enmity the first group of Jews to arrive on the docks of New Amsterdam in 1654, Jews have entwined their fate and fortunes with that of the United States--a project marked by great struggle and great promise. What this interconnected destiny has meant for American Jews and how it has defined their experience among the world's Jews is fully chronicled in this work, a comprehensive and finely nuanced history of Jews in the United States from 1654 through the end of the past century. Hasia R. Diner traces Jewish participation in American history--from the communi

    Kurzfassung: "The Savings and Loan Crisis: Lessons from a Regulatory Failure" sets the record straight about what actually happened to our banking institutions in the 1980s. As is documented by the highly respected and diverse group of former regulators, scholars and practitioners contributing to this book, the collapse of this industry was caused by a confluence of adverse economic conditions and misguided regulatory decisions. Poorly designed deposit insurance, faulty supervision, and restrictions on investments prevented savings and loans from adapting to a changing financial marketplace. Unable to use financial innovations, savings and loans could not hedge interest rate and credit risks. These factors blocked portfolio diversification and lay at the root of the crisis. The savings and loan crisis was an accident, but it was an avoidable one. Most of the factors responsible for causing and exacerbating the industry's problems were preventable, as is made clear in this volume. This book also provides an insider's view of the transformation of the financial services industry in the United States since the 1980s: how the managers and owners make decisions about product offerings and investments; how the regulators monitor performance and enforce the rules; and how Congress and the Administration influence and are influenced by the financial services industry. Lastly, it focuses attention on the lessons that should have been learned from this difficult period in the history of U.S. banking, and that should help prevent future banking crises everywhere.

    Kurzfassung: More than a tool of policy makers to gather intelligence, Air Force reconnaissance efforts shaped early Cold War doctrine and war planning. Dr. Farquhar argues that a lack of information on Soviet strategic capabilities dominated the organization, operational planning, and equipment of the postwar Air Force. To support his assertion, Farquhar traces the development of aerial reconnaissance from the first balloon ascents through World War II as a prelude. He then examines early Cold War peripheral reconnaissance and overflights of the Soviet Union. He explains the evolution of intelligence-gathering technology, bureaucratic growth, and a relative lack of attention paid to electronic warfare before the Korean War. Based primarily on archival sources, the book serves as an excellent reference for air doctrine, intelligence, and electronic warfare in the formative years of the Cold War

    Kurzfassung: The twentieth-century discovered the concept of sacred place largely through the work of Martin Heidegger and Mircea Eliade. Their writings on sacred place respond to the modern manipulation of nature and secularization of space, and so may seem distinctively post-modern, but their work has an important and unacknowledged precedent in the Neoplatonism of Late Antiquity and the early Middle Ages. Sacred Place in Early Medieval Neoplatonism traces the appearance and development of sacred place in the writings of Neoplatonists from the third to ninth centuries, and sets them in the context of present-day debates over place and the sacred

    Kurzfassung: This timely volume examines the commitments of historicism in the wake of New Historicism. It contributes to the construction of a materialist historicism while, at the same time, proposing that discussions of work need not be limited to the clash between labour and capital. To this end, the essays offer more than a strictly historical view of the complex terms, social and literary, within which labour was treated in the medieval period. Several of the essays strive to reformulate the very critical language we use to think about the categories of labour and work through a continually doubled engagement with modern theories of labour and medieval theories and practices of labour

    Kurzfassung: Reclaiming the American Revolution examines the struggles for political ascendancy between Federalists and the Republicans in the early days of the American Republic. Watkins views the struggle through the lens of the Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions, charters written by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison respectively, that were responses to the Alien and Sedition Acts passed by Federalists that, among other things, made criticism of the federal government a crime. Viewing those acts as a threat to states' rights, as well as indicative of a national government that sought supreme power, the Resolutions restated the principles of the American Revolution and sought to return the nation to the tenets of the Constitution, in which rights for all were protected by checking the power of the national government

    Kurzfassung: Among organizations devoted to mathematics education, The International Commission on Mathematical Instruction (ICMI) is distinctive because of its close ties to the mathematics community. The great challenges now facing mathematics education around the world demand a deeper and more sensitive involvement of disciplinary mathematicians than we now have, both in the work of educational improvements and in research on the nature of teaching and learning. This book constitutes the Proceedings of the Ninth International Conference on Mathematical Education (ICME9), which was held in Tokyo/Makuhari Japan, in July and August 2000. ICME9 brought together experts from 70 countries, working to understand the challenges of mathematics education including boundary crossing and collaboration, such as the need to reconcile language, epistemology, norms of evidence and, in general, all of the intellectual and attitudinal challenges that face multidisciplinary research and development

    Kurzfassung: Charlemagne's Mustache presents the reader with seven engaging studies, 'thick descriptions', of cultural life and thought in the Carolingian world. The author begins by asking questions. Why did Charlemagne have a mustache and why did hair matter? Why did the king own peacocks and other exotic animals? Why was he writing in bed and could he write at all? How did medieval kings become stars? How were secrets kept and conveyed in the early Middle Ages? And why did early medieval peoples believe in storm and hailmakers? The answers, he found, are often surprising

    Kurzfassung: Human Capital Over the Life Cycle synthesises comparative research on the processes of human capital formation in the areas of education and training in Europe, in relation to the labour market. The book proposes that one of the most important challenges faced by Europe today is to understand the link between education and training on the one hand and economic and social inequality on the other. The authors focus the analysis on three main aspects of the links between education and social inequality: educational inequality, differences in access to labour markets and differences in lifelong earnings and training

    Kurzfassung: Die Schloßanlage von Schönbrunn wurde 1996 in die Liste des Weltkulturerbes aufgenommen. Das Welterbe-Komitee der UNESCO anerkannte 1996 mit der Aufnahme Schönbrunns, "daß das Schloß und der Park Schönbrunn in Wien - Wahrzeichen eines großen Erbes und einer der wichtigsten Eckpfeiler der Geschichte Österreichs - von universell herausragendem Wert sind", wie Mounir Bouchenaki, der Direktor des UNESCO World Heritage Center, ausführt.Mit dieser Auszeichnung ist die Verpflichtung zur Erhaltung dieser Anlage, die notwendigerweise mit deren Erforschung verbunden ist, nicht erst geschaffen worden, aber verstärkt ins öffentliche Interesse und Bewußtsein getreten.Dieses Denkmal wird seit 1992, nach der Auflösung der Schloßhauptmannschaft Schönbrunn, von der "Schloß Schönbrunn Kultur- und Betriebsgesellschaft m. b. H." verwaltet. Dies erfolgt aufgrund des von allen Parteien beschlossenen Bundesgesetztes vom 1. Oktober 1992, dessen erster Punkt lautet: "Erhaltung der Substanz, Bewahrung, Förderung und Pflege des Kulturdenkmals Schloß Schönbrunn als Gesamtanlage, Baudenkmal, Kulturgut, historische Gartenanlage und Stätte wissenschaftlicher Betätigung unter besonderer Bedachtnahme auf die geschichtliche Bedeutung des Schlosses."Innerhalb der letzten zehn Jahre, von 1992-2002, wurde der Schloßbau, seine Nebengebäude und die in seinem Park befindlichen Bauwerke mit einem Gesamtkostenaufwand von einer Milliarde Schilling (ca. 73 Millionen Euro) restauriert. Diese Arbeiten wurden auf Initiative des technischen Direktors der Schloß Schönbrunn Kultur- und Betriebsgesellschaft, DI Dr. Wolfgang Kippes, durch eine Vielzahl von wissenschaftlichen Untersuchungen begleitet. Dazu zählt auch die vorliegende Arbeit, die im Zuge zweier FWF-Forschungsprojekten (P-12208-HIS und P-14326-ARS) entstand. Deren Leitung hatte Univ.-Prof. Dr. Artur Rosenauer, Ordinarius für Österreichische Kunstgeschichte an der Universität Wien, inne.Anlaß für die beiden Forschungsprojekte waren die völlig überraschenden Bodenfunde, die bei Bauarbeiten 1994 im Mittelbereich des Hauptbaues entdeckt und anschließend von der Abteilung Bodendenkmale des Bundesdenkmalamt freigelegt wurden. Es handelt sich um Reste der Vorgängerbauten des von Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach ab 1695/96 erbauten Schlosses. Der Fund an dieser Stelle war insoferne ganz unerwartet, als die Schönbrunnforschung bis dahin einhellig der Auffassung war, daß die Vorgängeranlage viel weiter östlich an ...
    Kurzfassung: In 1996, the Palace and Gardens of Schönbrunn were inscribed on the World Heritage List. In inscribing Schönbrunn, the World Heritage Committee of UNESCO recognised that "the Palace and Gardens of Schönbrunn in Vienna - as a symbol of great heritage and one of the most important corner-stones in the history of Austria - are of outstanding universal value", according to Mounir Bouchenaki, director of the UNESCO World Heritage Centre.With this honour, the commitment to preserve the complex, which of necessity is connected with the research into it, was not created for the first time, but greater public interest and consciousness were focused on it.Since the dissolution in 1992 of the Schlosshauptmannschaft Schönbrunn, the monument has been administered by the Schloss Schönbrunn Kultur- and Betriebsgesellschaft. This occurred as a result of the Federal Law of 1 October 1992, supported by all parliamentary parties. Its first point is: "Preservation of the fabric of the buildings, protection, improvement and care of the cultural monument of Schönbrunn Palace as a total complex, architectural monument, cultural treasure, historical garden and place of scholarly activity, giving particular consideration to the historical importance of the palace."Over the course of the past ten years, from 1992 to 2002, the palace building, its adjacent buildings and the structures found in its gardens have been restored at a total cost of one billion schillings (c. 73 million euros). At the initiative of the technical managing director of the Schloss Schönbrunn Kultur- and Betriebsgesellschaft, Dr. Wolfgang Kippes, this work was accompanied by a large number of scientific studies. These include the present work, which arose in the course of two Austrian Science Fund research projects (P-12208-HIS and P-14326-ARS). They were directed by Dr. Artur Rosenauer, Professor of the History of Austrian Art at the University of Vienna.The occasion for the two research projects was provided by completely unexpected finds discovered in 1994 during construction work in the central area of the main building and subsequently exposed by the Archaeology Department of the Austrian Federal Office for the Care of Monuments. They were found to be the remains of buildings that were predecessors of the palace built by Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach beginning in 1695-96. The finds were completely unexpected because Schönbrunn research up to that time was unanimous in its opinion that the ear ...

    Kurzfassung: 1999 konnte das vom Fonds zur Förderung der wissenschaftlichen Forschung finanzierte Projekt "Inventarisierung der historischen Gärten Österreichs" mit der Vorlage des Manuskriptes "Historische Gärten Österreichs. Erste Erfassung der Garten- und Parkanlagen von der Renaissance bis um 1930" beendet werden. Seit dem Jahr 1984 wurde dieses Projekt am Institut für Landschaftsplanung und Gartenkunst der Technischen Universität Wien gemeinsam mit Mitarbeitern durch die Verfasserin bearbeitet. Diese erstmals für Österreich durchgeführte Bestandsaufnahme hatte zum Ziel, öffentliche und private Parks, Gärten und künstlerisch gestaltete Landschaftsteile aller österreichischen Bundesländer in einem zeitlichen Entstehungsrahmen von der Renaissance bis gegen 1930 systematisch zu erfassen. Bisher lag eine solche Übersicht der noch erhaltenen Anlagen in Österreich nicht vor; es konnten im Laufe der Bestandsaufnahme vor Ort über 1700 historische Gärten und Parks inventarisiert werden. Der dritte Band umfaßt über vierhundert Anlagen in Wien.Dieser Gartenbestand wurde für die vorgesehene, dreibändige Veröffentlichung in typologischen Gruppen erschlossen: Gärten und Parks zu kirchlichen Wohnbauten: Stift, Kloster, Bischofshof, Stiftshof, Dechanthof, Propstei, Pfarrhof ; Gärten und Parks zu weltlichen Bauten: Burg, Schloß, Ansitz, Edelsitz, Herrenhaus, Freisitz, Freihof, Sitz, Schlößl, Landsitz, Palast (Palais), Stadtpalais, Gartenpalais, Landhaus, Gutshaus, Villa, Wohnhaus (städtisches Wohnhaus, Mehrfamilienhaus, Einfamilienhaus, Siedlung, Bauernhaus, Mühle, Forsthaus, Fabrik, Werk; öffentliche Bauten (Monumentalbauten): Kultur: Museum, Theater; Bildung: Schule, Universität (Botanischer Garten, Dendrologischer Garten/Arboretum, Lehrgarten, Versuchswirtschaft); Heilung und Fürsorge: Krankenhaus (Spital), Sanatorium (Kuranstalt), Altersheim, Wohnheim, Kinderheim; Verwaltung: Amtsgebäude, Verwaltungsgebäude, Bürogebäude, Botschaft; Gastgewerbe und Fremdenverkehr: Hotel, Gasthof; Sport, Erholung und Freizeit: Bad, Schießstand, Vergnügungspark; öffentliche Gärten und Parks (Anlagen ohne Bindung an ein bauliches "Mutterobjekt"): Anger, Ortsplatz, Stadtplatz, Ortspark, Stadtpark, Ortswald, Stadtwald, Kurpark, Naturpark, Gedenkpark, Promenade, Treppenanlage; sonstige Grünanlagen und Begrünungen (z.B.Gedenkstätte).Mit der Ausarbeitung der Ergebnisse der Erfassung, mit der Bearbeitung der Primär- und Sekundärliteratur, historischer Karten ...
    Kurzfassung: In the year 1999 the project of the inventarisation of the historic gardens in Austria, financed by the Austrian Science Fund FWF was finished with the manuscript “Historic Gardens in Austria. Gardens and Parks from the Renaissance to 1930”. Since 1984 this project was in charge of the author with some other co-workers at the Technical University of Vienna, Department of Landscape Planning and Garden History. This first Austrian inventory tended to consider public and private gardens, parks and artistically formed landscapes of all nine Austrian states from the Renaissance to about 1930 in a systematic manner. In the years of the inventarisation over 1750 historic gardens and parks were discovered, photographed and described. For the publication this numerous and mostly unknown quantity of gardens and parks was arranged in typological groups: gardens and parks of ecclesiastic dwelling-houses as monasteries, convents and cloisters, episcopal and provost buildings, parsonages, gardens and parks of profane buildings as castles, chateaus, palaces, manor-houses, country-houses, villas, dwelling-buildings, development houses, farmhouses, mills, factories, public buildings (monumental buildings) of culture (museum, theatre), education (school, university, botanic garden, arboretum), healing and welfare work (hospital, sanatorium, old people´s home, residential home, youth welfare home), administration (office, embassy), catering and hotel industry and tourism ( hotel, inn, restaurant), sport, recreation and leisure ( swimming-bath, shooting-stand, amusement park, leisure centre), public gardens and parks (without any main-building) as green places, village parks, town parks, village woods, town woods, parks of a spa, memorial parks, promenades, green outside staircases.With the elaboration of the results of the inventarisation, with the consideration of the trade literature, historic maps, plans, views, pictures and other source materials it was possible to present the first documentation of the existing historic gardens and parks in Austria in three volumes, published 2002-2004 (Böhlau Verlag, Wien-Köln-Weimar). This first survey makes known the rich existence of historic garden substance, is available to further scientific research on Austrian garden art and garden culture and affords first informations to protect and preserve this important cultural heritage.The third volume of the inventarisation of the historic gardens and parks in Austria present ...

    Kurzfassung: Die beiden Wiener Bauten des Prinzen Eugen von Savoyen, das Stadtpalais in der Himmelpfortgasse und die Vorstadtanlage Belvedere, wurden bislang, ungeachtet des gemeinsamen Auftraggebers, nicht als Einheit behandelt. Dies dürfte an der künstlermonographisch dominierten Wahrnehmung dieser für den Wiener Barock sehr bedeutsamen Bauten als Werke der beiden prominenten Architekten, Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach und Johann Lukas von Hildebrandt, gelegen haben.Ausgangspunkt der gemeinsamen Betrachtung im vorliegenden Werk ist die Frage nach der vom Prinzen Eugen, der ja nicht in der Habsburger Monarchie aufgewachsen war, intendierten Selbstdarstellung. Zu ihrer Beantwortung werden die Raumfolgen, die Ausstattung der Räume und - für das Belvedere - der konzeptionelle Zusammenhang von Wohngebäuden und Garten gleichberechtigt mit der Architektur herangezogen. Dabei erwies es sich als Glücksfall, daß beide Anlagen sehr gut erhalten und insbesondere die zeitgenössisch überaus wichtige Innenausstattungen durch die Stiche und Stichvorzeichnungen des Augsburger Vedutenzeichners Salomon Kleiner gut dokumentiert sind. Die architekturikonologische Vorgehensweise, bei der die Herkunft der einzelnen Ausstattungselemente erforscht und die mit der Herkunft seinerzeit möglicherweise einhergehende Bedeutung untersucht wird, hat zu einer Fülle von neuen Erkenntnissen vor allem zur zeitgenössischen Wahrnehmung der Räume geführt und, zum Teil mit Hilfe bisher unbekannter Schriftquellen, die komplizierte und bislang nur unvollständig verstandene Bau- und Ausstattungsgeschichte der beiden Anlagen erhellt.Als übergeordnete Erkenntnis ergibt sich, daß sich Prinz Eugen auf hohem Niveau in die Wiener Gegebenheiten und Traditionen einordnete, dabei aber nicht auf die ihm aus seiner Pariser Jugendzeit vertrauten französischen Wohn- und Ausstattungserrungenschaften verzichtete. Die "französische Komponente" wurde im Laufe des Werdegangs des Prinzen zunehmend verstärkt und zunehmend nach außen getragen. Die Eigenständigkeit seiner politischen und militärischen Leistungen unterstrich der Prinz unter anderem dadurch, daß in seiner Repräsentation seine Zugehörigkeit zum regierenden Haus Savoyen nur eine untergeordnete Rolle spielte
    Kurzfassung: Prince Eugene of Savoy, contemporary and companion in arms of the first Duke of Marlborough, was the architectural patron of two of the most important buildings of the Viennese baroque, viz. the Stadtpalais (city mansion) and the Belvedere, a suburban garden palace. In spite of the common patron, so far the two buildings were considered quite separately by the research on the Viennese baroque, presumably because of the emphasis on the two different, very prominent architects, Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach and Johann Lucas von Hildebrandt.In the unified view presented in the present work, attention is focussed not only on the architecture but also on the sequences of rooms, on their interior decoration, and - in the case of the Belvedere - on the conceptual relationship between garden and buildings. Starting point is the question: "What was the self-representation intended by the Prince, who had not been raised in the Habsburg monarchy but at the French court?" The investigation of the origins of the various elements of the interior decoration and of the messages going with their provenance was helped by the fortunate circumstance that not only are the buildings well preserved but that, through the contemporary engravings and drawings of Salomon Kleiner, we are well informed on the original interiors of the buildings. Together with newly discovered written sources, this has allowed the complicated plannings, construction and decoration history of the two palaces to be clarified.The main results may be summarized as follows. Prince Eugene of Savoy wished to conform, on a high level, to the traditions and the style of the Viennese nobility but without foregoing the French achievements in living comfort and elegance he was acquainted with from his time at the French court. As his carrier progressed, this 'French component' was enhanced and made increasingly visible. Little prominence was given to the relationship of the Prince to the ruling house of Savoy, presumably because he wanted to leave no doubt that he owed his position as one of the leading military and political leaders of the time not to family connections but to his own achievements

Es posible afirmar que la educación vive una suerte de modernización sin modernidad, que se manifiesta por contar con infraestructuras de alto nivel formal y tecnológico, bajo condiciones de desigualdad y de opresión individual y social. Dicho escenario, que alcanza su mayor expresión en las naciones más pobres del planeta, se expresa tambien de una manera inocultable en prácticamente todos los países - incluyendo naturalmente los de América Latina y el sur de Europa-.Por sus alcances globales, la modernización es un factor que enlaza -real o virtualmente- a grupos y a individuos más allá de las fronteras geográficas. En tal sentido, el eje configurado por la modernización y la educación pone en contacto a determinados segmentos sociales que, de manera independiente a sus orígenes culturales y regionales, llegan a encontrar grandes afinidades entre sí merced a sus condición e intereses socioecónomicos. En la educación de principios del siglo XXI, los grandes avances y los indicadores exitosos siguen teniendo como contraparte la ignorancia y la desigual distribución social y regional del conocimiento

    Kurzfassung: Annotation, Following the attacks of September 11, 2001, many agencies within the federal government began restricting some of their publicly available geospatial data and information from such sources as the World Wide Web. As time passes, however, decisionmakers have begun to ask whether and how such information specifically helps potential attackers, including terrorists, to select U.S. homeland sites and prepare for better attacks. The research detailed in this book aims to assist decisionmakers tasked with the responsibility of choosing which geospatial information to make available and which to restrict

    Kurzfassung: The No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) is a performance-based accountability system built around student test results. The accountability system comprises explicit educational goals, assessments for measuring the attainment of goals and judging success, and consequences (rewards or sanctions). But the mechanisms through which the system is intended to work are not well understood. The authors examined five accountability models: two from the manufacturing sector (the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award Program and the Toyota Production System (TPS)), a performance incentive model used in the evaluation of job training programs for the poor, accountability in the legal sector, accountability in health care as shown by clinical practice guidelines, use of statistical risk-adjustment methods, and the public reporting of health performance measures. Although education faces unique challenges, the authors conclude that educators can learn much from these other sectors. The Baldrige, TPS, and the clinical practice guidelines suggest the importance of focused institutional self-assessment, understanding school and district operations as a production process, being able to develop and apply a knowledge base about effective practice, and empowering participants in the process to contribute to improvement efforts. The job training and risk-adjustment models and the legal and health care accountability models provide specific guidance on how to enhance system-wide accountability in education by broadening performance measures; making sure performance goals are fair to all students and schools; developing standards of practice in promising areas; and encouraging professional accountability

    Kurzfassung: Young teens undergo multiple changes that seem to set them apart from other students. But do middle schools actually meet their special needs? The authors describe some of the challenges and offer ways to tackle them, such as reassessing the organization of grades K-12; specifically assisting the students most in need; finding ways to prevent disciplinary problems; and helping parents understand how they can help their children learn at home

    Kurzfassung: Dissatisfied with the results of earlier efforts to improve educational outcomes in U.S. schools, the Ford Foundation developed a program called the Collaborating for Education Reform Initiative (CERI) that provided grants to collaboratives of community-based organizations in urban settings as a way to address systemic barriers to high-quality teaching and learning. Eight collaboratives signed on, and, over four years, the RAND Corporation assessed the progress of the program. The authors of this report found that the eight sites made varying degrees of progress and, while none had reached the final outcomes desired, some of the collaboratives offered considerable promise. Although success is far from certain, by adopting such techniques as clear communication of expectations, engaging school staff, and using data to alter strategies as necessary, collaboratives stand a better chance of becoming self-sustaining and positively affecting student learning

    Kurzfassung: Even before the events of September 11, 2001, threat assessments suggested that the United States should prepare to respond to terrorist attacks inside its borders. This monograph examines the use of military medical assets to support civil authorities in the aftermath of a chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, or conventional high explosives attack inside the United States. In conducting this study, the authors focused on the following questions: Under what circumstances could military medical assets be requested? What sort of asset is likely to be requested? Are appropriate assets and related planning processes in place for civil support? What are the legal (and other) barriers to military support to civil authorities, and how can they be overcome, if necessary? In addition to a discussion of the applicable literature and laws, this monograph also includes historical case studies focusing on instances in which military medical assets were requested to assist civil authorities following natural disasters. It also includes a review of two exercises, based on postulated attacks, involving senior officials from local, state, and federal agencies-one involving a smallpox attack in Georgia and another involving a "dirty bomb" attack in California

    Kurzfassung: Over the past decade, the United States has endeavored to increase its ability to detect, prevent, and respond to terrorist threats and incidents. The agriculture sector and the food industry in general, however, have received comparatively little attention with respect to protection against terrorist incidents. This study aims to expand the current debate on domestic homeland security by assessing the vulnerabilities of the agricultural sector and the food chain to a deliberate act of biological terrorism. The author presents the current state of research on threats to agricultural livestock and produce, outlines the sector's importance to the U.S. economy, examines the capabilities that are needed to exploit the vulnerabilities in the food industry, and explores the likely outcomes of a successful attack. The author addresses the question of why terrorists have yet to employ agricultural assaults as a method of operation and offers proposed recommendations for the U.S. policymaking community

    Kurzfassung: What are the forces that will continue to shape the U.S. workforce and workplace over the next 10 to 15 years? With such inevitabilities as the proliferation and acceleration of technology worldwide, will more individuals work at home, will more businesses outsource their noncore functions--and with what consequences? Answering such questions can help stakeholders--workers, employers, educators, and policymakers--make informed decisions. With its eye on forming sound policy, the U.S. Department of Labor asked the RAND Corporation to look at the future of work in the near-to-medium term. The authors analyzed shifting demographic patterns, the pace of technological change, and the path of economic globalization. They observe, for example, that the workforce will continue to grow--however, at a markedly declining pace--and that the ongoing education of employees will be paramount as new technologies, such as bio- and nanotechnologies, come onto the scene and develop. They also look at the trend of globalization and how it fares for the United States' economy and those of other countries. Overall, the authors provide for the reader expectations about the key forces in the economy today and their implications for the future workforce and workplace, including the size, composition, and skills of the workforce; the nature of work and workplace arrangements; and worker compensation

    Kurzfassung: Annotation "The chapters in this volume evaluate the capacity of authorities to enforce the tax laws in a modern, global economy and examine the implications of failing to do so. Specific aspects of tax law, including tax shelters, issues relating to small businesses, tax software, role of tax preparers, and the objectives of tax simplification are examined in detail." "The volume also builds a conceptual basis for future scholarship, with regard not only to tax administration, but also to such fundamental questions as whether taxpayers respond mostly to economic incentives or are influenced by their experiences with the filing process and what is the proper framework for evaluating the allocation of resources within the IRS."--BOOK JACKET.

The approach privileges the perspective of the acting individual but offers guidelines for connecting the subjective orientation with networks of social interaction and for treating 'behaviour' as a social process. Research within this framework takes account of the wider social context and calls for a careful combination of empirical observation and interpretation, with a corresponding diversity of methodologies.

    Kurzfassung: The contributors to this volume investigate to what extent welfare has increased in the United States over the postwar period and provide a rigorous examination of both conventional measures of the standard of living, as well as more inclusive indices. The chapters cover such topics as: race, home ownership and family structure; the status of children; the consumer price index; a historical perspective on the standard of living; worker rights and labor strength in advanced economies. In addition, they explore two economic systems delivering the goods--the free enterprise system of the United States and the European social welfare state. They then present international comparisons and highlight the relative advantages and disadvantages of these two systems.

    Kurzfassung: Cet article examine l’utilisation faite des indicateurs de rendement clés dans les établissements d’enseignement post-secondaire canadiens. Plus précisément, il étudie l’utilisation qui en est faite dans l’optique des étudiants et l’effet qui en résulte sur la qualité et la prestation des activités éducatives. Au Canada, les dix gouvernements des provinces ont recours aux indicateurs de rendement clés (IRC). Chacune des circonscriptions territoriales qui ont adopté les IRC les utilisent pour subordonner l’octroi des financements de base et des financements en capital à diverses formes de performances des établissements. L’auteur analyse à des fins comparatives comment certains critères sont favorisés par la mise en place des IRC. L’article porte sur l’adoption des indicateurs de rendement clés dans trois provinces : l’Ontario, l’Alberta et la Colombie-Britannique. Dans chaque cas, l’auteur examine l’ensemble complexe de politiques et de relations institutionnelles en jeu dans la construction des indicateurs de rendement clés. Un examen comparatif des différents cas met en lumière des pratiques exemplaires ainsi que des leçons de l’expérience dans lesquelles la définition même de la responsabilisation devient très rapidement un point de vue extrêmement politisé. Enfin, cet article comprend des suggestions pratiques de nature anticipative, formulées dans l’optique des étudiants, au sujet des critères qu’il convient de retenir pour élaborer des IRC. A chaque point examiné, il intègre (ou réintègre) la perspective des étudiants dans le dialogue en cours au sujet de la responsabilisation et de la nouvelle identité de l’enseignement supérieur...

    Kurzfassung: The article explores whether the idea of a nexus between research and teaching is still influential, what meanings are attached to it and within what concepts of higher education. It draws on research into the perceptions of two groups of actors, academics and students, and some recent scholarly analyses of the issues. It argues that the idea of the nexus is still important to academics and a range of students. It is embedded in a world in which academic definitions of knowledge and higher education remain largely dominant. The recent writings examined are attempts to tighten the conceptual connections between teaching and research ...

    Kurzfassung: In this article, we focus on the implementation and development of ICT in the education sector, challenging and developing the traditional learning environment whilst introducing new educational tools including e-learning. The paper investigates ICT as a tool empowering and developing learners lifelong learning opportunities. It defines a model of ICT development and identifies three core development stages through which basic skills, ICT skills, and lifelong learning skills are acquired. The paper further gives a description of the ICT impact on labour and education markets, the current state of development of ICT at school in EU and the needs for further investment in this area. The findings of this paper suggest that such investment is likely to have positive effects when geared towards blended learning approaches built on comprehensive policy ...

    Kurzfassung: Cet article a pour objet d’examiner si l’idée d’un lien entre la recherche et l’enseignement est toujours largement défendue, quelle signification lui est attribuée et selon quelles conceptions de l’enseignement supérieur. L’auteur s’inspire des recherches sur les points de vue de deux groupes d’acteurs, les universitaires et les étudiants, et de certaines analyses récentes que d’éminents spécialistes ont consacrées à ces questions. L’argument avancé est que des universitaires et tout un éventail d’étudiants sont encore très attachés à l’idée de ce lien. Il trouve son origine dans un monde dans lequel les définitions du savoir et de l’enseignement supérieur restent pour l’essentiel d’inspiration universitaire. Les ouvrages récents examinés tentent de resserrer les liens conceptuels entre l’enseignement et la recherche et de les resituer en soutenant que les « sociétés du savoir » contemporaines ...

    Kurzfassung: Il s’agit dans ce document de déterminer le degré et les motifs de satisfaction des étudiants à l’égard des établissements qu’ils fréquentent. Pour ce faire, on commence en premier lieu par défi nir la notion de satisfaction, deuxièmement on présente le cadre conceptuel qui tente de mettre en évidence la relation entre les déterminants de la satisfaction des étudiants. Troisièmement on présente et on analyse les résultats de l’enquête qui a servi aux auteurs à tester les relations présupposées dans les limites du cadre conceptuel. Les points faibles de ces travaux de recherche sont également précisés. Les enseignements tirés de ces travaux révèlent que, pour un groupe au moins de jeunes étudiants de l’université turque, les déterminants de la satisfaction sont la qualité de l’enseignement, la qualité des enseignants, la qualité ...

    Kurzfassung: On évalue dans cet article quelques-unes des questions fondamentales qui concernent les grandes orientations et les prestations, et retentissent sur les rapports entre l’enseignement et la recherche dans l’enseignement supérieur. Le postulat d’un rapport essentiel entre l’enseignement et la recherche est battu en brèche depuis quelques années par l’ampleur même du système. Malgré l’attrait durable du modèle humboldtien, il n’a pas toujours été adopté au Royaume-Uni et ne l’est pas du tout dans maints autres systèmes. Les arguments pour et contre ce rapport sont notés et évalués. Les arguments favorables concernent surtout les avantages pour la recherche ; les arguments relevant de l’enseignement sont plus difficiles à spécifier. Ces deux séries de considérations impliquent ...

    Kurzfassung: Many observers have noted that corruption in higher education is widespread in the states of the former Soviet Union. Little empirical evidence is available, however. This article examines some theoretical approaches to the study of corruption, and presents empirical data on corruption in higher education from Russia and Azerbaijan, collected by the authors, in the light of these theoretical positions. While both states examined here have a common political heritage, higher education corruption appears to be of a diverging character in the two states. We suggest that social capital offers a helpful theory in understanding the varying levels of corruption encountered in the two states. Social capital theory also perhaps suggests that significant reductions in the extent of corruption will not be achieved by purely technical means (such as changes in organisational arrangements), but require a broader approach to achieve a strengthened civil society....

    Kurzfassung: La globalisation des échanges commence à toucher les universités nationales un peu partout dans le monde. Pour répondre à cette pression extérieure, chaque établissement cherche plus à s’assurer une notoriété internationale par la recherche que nationale par la pédagogie. La concentration de l’attention et de l’activité sur la recherche conduit, par exemple l’université française à perdre des parts de marché par rapport à d’autres structures d’enseignement supérieur. Une des principales raisons est que la recherche pousse à la spécialisation alors que le marché demande de plus en plus des formations pluridisciplinaires ou transversales. Pour répondre à ces demandes contradictoires de la société, deux scénarios extrêmes sont présentés, l’un qui tente de maintenir l’esprit universaliste des universités et l’autre qui pousse les établissements d’enseignement supérieur à toujours plus de spécialisation au nom de l’excellence de la recherche. Entre ces deux modèles, il y a peut être une voie médiane, difficile, mais combien enrichissante pour la communauté universitaire, à condition cependant de repenser le management universitaire. Dans tout processus de changement, l’erreur majeure est de vouloir confondre la démarche des individus avec celle des organisations. L’université peut assurément continuer à tenir tous les fils conduisant au développement économique, mais on ne peut pas demander à chaque acteur d’avoir ce profil polyvalent. C’est donc la qualité des liaisons interpersonnelles et leur management qui fera la qualité des universités de demain....

    Kurzfassung: This paper examines the development of policies designed to widen access to higher education policy in the United Kingdom. These policies have evolved in the context of the devolution of political authority to the Scottish Parliament and Assemblies in Wales and Northern Ireland, which has resulted in some policy variation. The paper examines the “post-code premium” paid by the funding authorities to universities based on the students from poorer areas. By using Northern Ireland data the paper demonstrates the major problems to this approach arising from the “ecological fallacy”. The paper concludes by expressing surprise that policy developed with little apparent awareness of these problems....

    Kurzfassung: Dans les pays de l’OCDE, pouvoirs publics, décideurs et gestionnaires universitaires s’intéressent à l’avenir de l’enseignement supérieur et s’interrogent sur le rôle de la recherche dans le cadre de l’enseignement. Le débat s’inscrit dans un contexte marqué par le fait que la production de savoir et la contribution de l’enseignement supérieur à l’économie, au prestige et au statut d’un pays sont en train de transformer rapidement le système d’enseignement supérieur : le laisser-faire cède la place à la concurrence du marché. De nombreux gouvernements sont par ailleurs convaincus que le système actuel de financement et d’organisation ne pourra pas perdurer. Le financement de la recherche doit-il se répartir équitablement entre les différents établissements ou bien faut-il au contraire que seuls certains établissements se concentrent sur la recherche, les autres se consacrant à l’enseignement et à la formation ? Si au cours de la seconde moitié du XXe siècle la massification a imposé sa logique à l’enseignement supérieur dans les pays de l’OCDE, c’est désormais la concurrence, liée en partie à la capacité de recherche, qui joue un rôle analogue au début de ce XXIe siècle. Cette logique pèse de manière assez marquée sur le mode d’organisation et de gestion des établissements. L’article examine les défis spécifiques que doivent relever les établissements d’enseignement supérieur récents ou en cours de création pour développer leur activité de recherche à partir d’une base « fragile ». En cours de processus, leur expérience soulève des questions plus vastes pour les établissements comme pour les pouvoirs publics...

Cette évolution s’est produite dans le contexte de la décentralisation de l’autorité au Parlement écossais et aux Assemblées du pays de Galles et d’Irlande du Nord, qui a entraîné certaines variations des grandes orientations. On étudie ici la « prime au code postal » versée aux universités par les bailleurs de fonds en fonction du nombre d’étudiants issus de régions plus pauvres. En utilisant les données relatives à l’Irlande du Nord, on met en lumière les grands problèmes auxquels se heurte cette approche du fait de « l’erreur écologique ». En conclusion, on s’étonne dans cet article que des décisions aient été prises sans que l’on ait apparemment pris conscience de ces problèmes...

Firstly, the concept of satisfaction will be defi ned. Secondly, a conceptual framework to demonstrate the relationship between the factors which lie behind university student satisfaction will be presented. Thirdly, the results and implications of a survey with which the authors tried to test the presupposed relationships within the boundaries of the conceptual framework will be given and discussed. The limitations of the research are also given. The results of the research show that, at least for some Turkish university students, the quality of education, instructors, textbooks and being female and informed ...

La contribution examine les TIC en tant qu’outil permettant de mieux saisir et de développer les possibilités de formation tout au long de la vie. Elle définit un modèle de développement des TIC et identifie les trois grands stades par lesquels passe l’acquisition des compétences de base, des compétences en matière de TIC et des compétences en matière de formation tout au long de la vie. Elle évoque par ailleurs l’incidence des TIC sur les marchés du travail et de l’éducation, le stade de développement actuel des TIC dans le système scolaire de l’UE et les investissements qui seraient nécessaires dans ce secteur. Les conclusions auxquelles elle parvient laissent à penser que cet investissement est susceptible d’avoir des effets positifs s’il s’appuie sur des approches ...

    Kurzfassung: This book illustrates hitherto unexamined connections between the present state of teacher education in the UK and past models of practice. It locates contemporary debates within ongoing historical tensions over what constitutes a sound and proper start to a career in teaching. Questions as to the constituents of a professional training, the essential skills, knowledge and attitudes desired of an effective teacher, the most suitable locus of expertise, the relative roles of participants, and the balance of theory and practice lie at the heart of this book. The book reviews apprenticeship and teach-exemplar models of training, expert-novice relationships, model and demonstration teaching, school-based practice and the elaboration of core pedagogical principles in educational debate and research. These developments are assessed against recent initiatives in ITT, such as partnership models of ITT, school-based mentoring, advanced skills teaching, training schools, a standards-driven model of assessment for student teachers and models of effective teaching. Central to the book is the concept of the power to teach. By reclaiming this notion, the book offers challenging new perspectives on current policy and practice in teacher education today and adds to existing histories of teacher training of the past

    Kurzfassung: Audioführungen spielen bei der Vermittlung von Museumsexponaten eine immer wichtigere Rolle. Ihre Erstellung ist inzwischen zu einem festen Bestandteil der museumspädagogischen Arbeit geworden. Doch trotz dieses weit verbreiteten Einsatzes ist das Medium Audioführung in der Museumslandschaft keineswegs unumstritten. Während die einen den Vorwurf der Manipulation durch zu viel »Führung« erheben, führen die Befürworter des neuen Mediums ins Feld, es sei wenig fruchtbar, Museumsbesucher mit den Exponanten »alleine zu lassen«. Mit der Studie »Aufmerksames Sehen« präsentiert Uwe Christian Dech einen in der Praxis erprobten Ansatz, der aufzeigt, wie Audioführungen sinnvoll eingesetzt werden können. Dabei wird deutlich, welch wertvollen Beitrag die Audioführung im Zusammenspiel mit anderen Begleitmedien zu leisten in der Lage ist

    Kurzfassung: Le monde artistique, en perpétuelle évolution, pose sans cesse de nouveaux défis, encore nombreux en ce début de XXIe siècle : statut des artistes, protection du patrimoine, développement des musées, accès et formation du public, évolution de l'enseignement et essor des expositions. Ces défis incitent à chercher de nouvelles formules en vue de trouver la meilleure adéquation entre les composantes du monde artistique et notre société. La perspective historique devrait pouvoir éclairer cette quête constante. Christophe Loir analyse une des étapes majeures de cette évolution : l'émergence et l'encouragement des beaux-arts en Belgique, au tournant des temps modernes et de l'époque contemporaine. Durant cette période fascinante, on assiste à une reconfiguration profonde du monde artistique, touchant à la fois le cadre institutionnel, le statut de l'artiste, le rapport aux œuvres d'art et les pratiques du public ; soit les institutions, les hommes et les œuvres. Ce sont les grandes composantes du monde artistique actuel qui se mettent en place : développement des académies, naissance des musées et des salons, apparition de l'artiste et des beaux-arts, formation du public, prise de conscience du patrimoine et intervention des pouvoirs publics. L'auteur étudie donc l'évolution et l'apport de quatre régimes politiques successifs : l'innovation à la fin du régime autrichien (1773-1794), l'expansion sous le régime français (1794-1814), l'administration sous le régime hollandais (1814-1830) et la consécration au cours des premières années qui suivent l'indépendance de la Belgique (1830-1835)

    Kurzfassung: Das Geschichtsbewußtsein Jugendlicher ist in einem beklagenswerten Zustand - so ein gängiges Stereotyp. Daß dieses oft monierte Defizit keineswegs verallgemeinert werden kann, ist das Ergebnis der empirischen Studie von Carlos Kölbl, in der Formen historischer Sinnbildung unter Jugendlichen analysiert werden, die in mancherlei Hinsicht äußerst komplex und spezifisch modern sind. Damit ist der Band nicht nur in der Lage, die wissenschaftliche Diskussion um eine Entwicklungspsychologie historischer Sinnbildung durch neue Akzente zu bereichern. Er bietet darüber hinaus auch zahlreiche Anregungen für einen Geschichtsunterricht, der stärker an die historischen Kompetenzen und Interessen Jugendlicher anknüpft. Neben seinen empirischen Resultaten präsentiert der Autor eine informationsreiche Auseinandersetzung mit dem aktuellen Forschungsstand sowie grundlegende theoretische Überlegungen

    Kurzfassung: In a provocative book-length essay, Patricia Lynne argues that most programmatic assessment of student writing in U.S. public and higher education is conceived in the terms of mid-20th century positivism. Since composition as a field had found its most compatible home in constructivism, she asks, why do compositionists import a conceptual frame for assessment that is incompatible with composition theory? By casting this as a clash of paradigms, Lynne is able to highlight the ways in which each theory can and cannot influence the shape of assessment within composition. She laments, as do many in composition, that the objectively oriented paradigm of educational assessment theory subjugates and discounts the very social constructionist principles that empower composition pedagogy. Further, Lynne criticizes recent practice for accommodating the big business of educational testing-especially for capitulating to the discourse of positivism embedded in terms like "validity" and "reliability." These terms and concepts, she argues, have little theoretical significance within composition studies, and their technical and philosophical import are downplayed by composition assessment scholars. There is a need, Lynne says, for terms of assessment that are native to composition. To open this needed discussion within the field, she analyzes cutting-edge assessment efforts, including the work of Broad and Haswell, and she advances a set of alternate terms for evaluating assessment practices, a set of terms grounded in constructivism and composition. Coming to Terms is ambitious and principled, and it takes a controversial stand on important issues. This strong new volume in assessment theory will be of serious interest to assessment specialists and their students, to composition theorists, and to those now mounting assessments in their own programs

    Kurzfassung: In de zeventiende eeuw ging vrijwel iedere toneelvoorstelling gepaard met muziek. Er werd niet alleen gemusiceerd tussen de bedrijven, maar ook in het toneelstuk zelf. Muziek diende als achtergrond en versiering en was functioneel geïntegreerd in de handeling van het drama. Uit de rekeningen van de Amsterdamse Schouwburg blijkt dat men professionele musici in dienst had; daarnaast werd er gezongen en gedanst door de acteurs. In navolging van buitenlandse toneelmuziekstudies wordt in dit boek voor het eerst uitvoerig aandacht besteed aan de zeventiende-eeuwse theatermuziek in de Nederlanden. Centraal staat de toneeldichter Jan Harmensz Krul, die de muziek op vakkundige manier in zijn toneelstukken verweefde en die in 1634 de Amsterdamse Musyck-kamer oprichtte - een stichting die geheel gewijd was aan het samengaan van poëzie en muziek op het toneel. Aan de hand van vijf karakteristieke muzikale scènes uit zijn werk (de wachterscène, gevangenisscène, serenade, offerscène en slaapscène) wordt een beeld geschetst van de toenmalige Amsterdamse toneelmuziekpraktijk. Zulke muzikale scènes waren ook geliefd bij andere toneeldichters, in binnen- en buitenland. Zij hadden voor het publiek een signaalfunctie: het waren direct herkenbare situaties, ijkpunten in het drama, die standaard met muziek werden geassocieerd. Dichters varieerden hierop naar hartelust. Voor toneelschrijver en toeschouwer waren die stereotiepe muzikale scènes wat muziek was voor de personages in de toneelstukken: een effectief middel om te manipuleren - een perfecte verleiding, van oog, oor en hart

    Kurzfassung: This is American history told through the stories of an atypical, for Utah, region. Castle Valley is roughly conterminous with two counties, Carbon and Emery, which together formed a rural, industrial enclave in a mostly desert environment behind the mountain range that borders Utah's principal corridor of settlement. In Castle Valley, coal mining and the railroad attracted diverse, multiethnic communities and a fair share of historic characters, from Butch Cassidy, who stole its largest payroll, to Mother Jones, who helped organize its workers against its mining companies. Among the last major segments of the state to be settled, it was also a generally poor region that stretched the capabilities of people to scratch a living from a harsh landscape. The people of Castle Valley experienced complex, unusual combinations of both social cohesion and conflict, but they struggled through poverty, labor disputes, major mining disasters, and other challenges to build communities whose stories reflected the historical course of the nation as a whole. In order to convey her subject's both unique and representative qualities, Nancy Taniguchi has written an epic history that is not just local history, but American history written locally. Nancy J. Taniguchi, who lived for thirteen years in Castle Valley and was previously on the faculty of the College of Eastern Utah in Price, is professor of history at California State University, Stanislaus. She is the author of numerous published articles in mining, legal, women's, western, and Utah history and of one book, Necessary Fraud: Progressive Reform and Utah Coal

    Kurzfassung: The security environment in the Middle East has become increasingly complicated during the past decade. This report identifies several important trends that are shaping regional security and identifies their implications for the United States. Many traditional security concerns, such as energy security and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, will remain significant factors in the future. However, ongoing domestic changes throughout the region will become increasingly important as well. Issues such as political reform, economic reform, civil-military relations, leadership change, and the information revolution are all affecting regional security dynamics. This report examines each of these issue areas and identifies some of the challenges that they pose for U.S. foreign policy
