    Abstract: Hauptbeschreibung M&A im europäischen Bankensektor nehmen hinsichtlich ihrer Anzahl sowie ihrer Transaktionsvolumina eine prävalente Stellung im weltweiten M&A-Markt ein. So ist der europäische Markt mit gut einem Drittel aller weltweiten Transaktionen die zweitgrößte M&A-Region der Welt und der Bankensektor alleine absorbiert rund 72 v. H. aller europäischen Transaktionen im sektoralen Bereich der Finanzdienstleistungen. Vor diesem Hintergrund und einer zu erwartenden weiteren Konsolidierung im europäischen Bankenmarkt gehen die Autoren der Frage nach dem Erfolg von M&A im Bankensektor nach. Dabei wird der Fokus jedoch auf den langfristigen sowie regionalen Erfolg von M&A-Transaktionen auf der Käuferseite in Europa gerichtet, zumal bisherige sowie aktuelle Studien diese Aspekte vernachlässigen. Nach einer Diskussion über M&A-Motive und deren Erfolgsmessung folgt eine empirische Analyse von Bankenfusionen in Europa seit dem Jahre 1999 bis inklusive Juli 2007. Im Ergebnis zeigen die Autoren, dass sich der Unternehmenswert eines übernehmenden Kreditinstitutes auf Sicht von 35 Monaten nach einer Transaktion im Mittel um absolute 14,82 v. H. besser entwickelt als der europäische Branchendurchschnitt. Dieses Resultat lässt jedoch nicht den Schluss zu, dass monetär induzierte Motive für Übernahmen dominieren oder Überrenditen grundsätzlich durch M&A-Transaktionen auf der Käuferseite erwirtschaftet werden. Eine erweiterte Analyse hingegen zeigt, dass auch nicht-ökonomische Motive im M&A-Markt dominieren können und nur eine Kombination von bestimmten Parametern einen M&A-Erfolg wahrscheinlich werden lassen kann. Vor diesem Hintergrund schließt die Studie mit einer Diskussion über die Gründe für das Scheitern oder den Erfolg eines Unternehmenszusammenschlusses.   Inhaltsverzeichnis Inhaltsübersicht: 1 Einleitung - 2 Theoretische Grundlagen zur Mergers &...

    Abstract: In 1962 Joan Fry was a college sophomore recently married to a dashing anthropologist. Naively consenting to a year-long "working honeymoon" in British Honduras (now Belize), she soon found herself living in a remote Kekchi village deep in the rainforest. Because Fry had no cooking or housekeeping experience, the romance of living in a hut and learning to cook on a makeshift stove quickly faded. Guided by the village women and their children, this twenty-year-old American who had never made more than instant coffee came eventually to love the people and the food that at first had seemed so foreign. While her husband conducted his clinical study of the native population, Fry entered their world through friendships forged over an open fire. Coming of age in the jungle among the Kekchi and Mopan Maya, Fry learned to teach, to barter and negotiate, to hold her ground, and to share her space-and, perhaps most important, she learned to cook.This is the funny, heartfelt, and provocative story of how Fry painstakingly baked and boiled her way up the food chain, from instant oatmeal and flour tortillas to bush-green soup, agouti (a big rodent), gibnut (a bigger rodent), and, finally, something even the locals wouldn't tackle: a "mountain cow," or tapir. Fry's efforts to win over her neighbors and hair-pulling students offers a rare and insightful picture of the Kekchi Maya of Belize, even as this unique culture was disappearing before her eyes..

    Keywords: Tiere ; Biopolitik ; Kapitalismus
    Abstract: The juxtaposition of biopolitical critique and animal studies-two subjects seldom theorized together-signals the double-edged intervention of Animal Capital. Nicole Shukin pursues a resolutely materialist engagement with the "question of the animal," challenging the philosophical idealism that has dogged the question by tracing how the politics of capital and of animal life impinge upon one another in market cultures of the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.Shukin argues that an analysis of capital's incarnations in animal figures and flesh is pivotal to extending the examination of biopower beyond its effects on humans. "Rendering" refers simultaneously to cultural technologies and economies of mimesis and to the carnal business of boiling down and recycling animal remains. Rendering's accommodation of these discrepant logics, she contends, suggests a rubric for the critical task of tracking the biopolitical conditions and contradictions of animal capital across the spaces of culture and economy.From the animal capital of abattoirs and automobiles, films and mobile phones, to pandemic fear of species-leaping diseases such as avian influenza and mad cow, Shukin makes startling linkages between visceral and virtual currencies in animal life, illuminating entanglements of species, race, and labor in the conditions of capitalism. In reckoning with the violent histories and intensifying contradictions of animal rendering, Animal Capital raises provocative and pressing questions about the cultural politics of nature.

    Abstract: A nuanced critique of how the World Bank encourages gender norms through its policies, Developing Partnerships argues that financial institutions are key players in the global enforcement of gender and family expectations. By combining analysis of documents produced and sponsored by the World Bank with interviews of World Bank staffers and case studies, Kate Bedford presents a detailed examination of gender and sexuality in the policies of the world's largest and most influential development institution. Looking concurrently at economic and gender policy, Bedford connects reform of markets to reform of masculinities, loan agreements for export promotion to pamphlets for indigenous adolescents advising daily genital bathing, and attempts to strengthen institutions after the Washington Consensus to efforts to promote loving couplehood in response to economic crisis. In doing so, she reveals the shifting relationships between development and sexuality and the ways in which gender policy impacts debates about the future of neoliberalism.Providing a multilayered account of how gender-aware policies are conceived and implemented by the World Bank, Developing Partnerships demonstrates as well how institutional practices shape development.

    Abstract: This book introduces to problems which have a concern for each executive in the operative management of industrial enterprises and is therefore e.g. also welcomed and expected by an interviewed company (see appendix A). These problems arise, beneath a lot of advantages, from the model of business process management which developed within the last few years. This model gets more and more implemented to the larger industry enterprises and make new and great demands on executive work. Business process management models contains, beside the traditional economic aim constructions, the integrated management system which unites environment, quality and work safety as aims in itself. To draw one's attention to the changes which arise by the business process management on traditional ideas, the integrated management system was chosen as a title of this book. It is not the aim to write again a new essay, in addition to the hundreds of already existing ones, about business ethics or leadership. It is all about a special perspective. In detail, the scientific question and the goal of this book is to represent the requirements for executives on lower and middle management levels, which arise on the one hand from the integrated management system and on the other hand from the changed expectation attitude in society and, finally, to develop based on both of them a practice-oriented solution, with which these requirements can be met. To guarantee the validity of the work, it is at first necessary to get a short idea about the historical development to business process management in order to define the surrounding, in which this work is moving. This is carried out in chapter 1. Secondly in chapter 2 is discussed, whether the behaviour of an executive must be penetrated by an ethical-moral basic understanding to do justice to not only the expectations of the...
    Abstract: nteraction partners like customers, capital givers, supervisors and employees but also to be successful overall in the long run. Even if already more than 400 books have dealt with business ethics, the integration of these theories into the professional practice of executives in a business process management on the basis of a scientific approach is missing. So that the book enters new ground from this point of view. After the definition of the business surrounding and general expectations towards the behaviour, the special relevant requirements which exists besides the known traditional economic aims on the basis of three relevant standards of quality, environment and safety and which apply to each executive in a business process management respectively in an integrated management system will be worked out thirdly in chapter 3. Fourthly, on the basis of the general ethical-moral expectations towards actions on the one hand and the concrete requirements from the standards on the other hand arise subsequently in chapter 4 the guidelines for the behaviour of the executive in dealing with the led, to do justice similarly to all requirements around.

    Abstract: The globalization and saturation of local markets lead to increased international activities of companies. In this context marketers are forced to advertise globally and to decide between standardization and differentiation of their advertisements, i.e. to either use one single idea all over the world or to make adaptations for local preferences. Besides knowing the pros and cons of these approaches, it is essential that advertisers are familiar with different cultures. Otherwise the advertisement runs the risk of being misunderstood or in the worst case to offend cultural fundamentals. In her book Mirjana Milenkovic examines the specifics of different national cultures and their implications for global advertising. Describing the various local restrictions and obstacles international advertisers have to deal with, the challenge of global advertising becomes clear. The perception of advertising is greatly influenced by the respective culture and its members' understanding of reality. On the basis of Hofstede's Five Dimensions, cultures and their characteristics are described. The reader learns about the behavior in different cultures and how cultural backgrounds impact buying decisions. With numerous practical illustrations Global Advertising in a Cultural Context gives an insight into the specifics of worldwide advertising and the challenge of both approaches in strategy and execution in front of the cultural background. This book gives recommendations for successful global advertising on the basis of six different advertising approaches and their suitability to overcome cultural differences.

    Abstract: Everyone agrees: there arenâÂÂt enough hours in the day. But what happened to the promise that technology would provide more leisure time? Instead, everyone is working harder and longer than they did 15 years ago, squeezed and scattered and stressed to the point of burnout. Coping with the dizzying pace of a society drowning in information overload, itâÂÂs a wonder anyone functions normally. Building on the success of Whose Brave New World? and Fastforward and Out of Control, Heather Menzies takes readers on a sobering tour of this troubling phenomenon, highlighting personal stories from a workaholic father and a woman suffering from chronic fatigue. Menzies details the root causes of the frantic quest to speed everything up; looks at the especially difficult situation for those such as teachers, nurses, and social workers who are responsible for social well being; and offers commonsense solutions to a problem affecting all of society.

    Abstract: In contemporary pedagogy, "class" has become one nomadic sign among others: it has no referent but only contingent allusions to similarly traveling signs. Class, that is, no longer explains social conflicts and antagonisms rooted in social divisions of labor, but instead portrays a cultural carnival of lifestyles, consumptions, tastes, prestige and desire, or obscures social conflicts through technicist accounts of incomes and jobs.  Class in Education brings back class as a materialist analysis of social inequalities originating at the point of production and reproduced in all cultural practices. Addressing a wide range of issues - from the interpretive logic of the new humanities to racism to reading, school-level curricula to educational policy - the contributors focus on the effects that the different understandings of class have on various sites of pedagogy and open up new spaces for a materialist pedagogy and critical education in the times of globalization and the regimes of the digital.

    Abstract: This study contributes to the debate on whether defense spending encourages or hinders economic growth. The effect of politics on economic growth in developing societies is assessed, with a focus on the Middle East. The study is the first to add conflict variables to the production function defense-growth model and test them empirically across countries and regions, and provide robust empirical evidence on the differential effects of interstate and intrastate conflicts on economic growth. The study provides compelling empirical evidence and guidelines to policy decision makers on how to allocate the resources of their states and adopt policies that promote political economic development. The study urges Third World leaders to improve levels of freedom, democracy, and openness of their political systems because the results confirm that political factors are at least as important as economic factors in promoting economic growth. Furthermore, the results attest that the reallocation of resources from military to the civilian sector is the sine qua non to improve the performance of developing countries' economies.

    Abstract: Compressing an enormous amount of information--over 400 studies--into a readable, engaging account suitable for parents, educators, and policymakers, this book advances the debate about women in science unlike any other book before it. Bringing together important research from such diverse fields as endocrinology, economics, sociology, education, genetics, and psychology, the authors show that two factors--the parenting choices women (but not men) have to make, and the tendency of women to choose people-oriented fields like medicine--largely account for the under-representation of women in the hard sciences.

    Abstract: Significant numbers of the people enslaved throughout world history have been children. The vast literature on slavery has grown to include most of the history of this ubiquitous practice, but nearly all of it concentrates on the adult males whose strong bodies and laboring capacities preoccupied the masters of the modern Americas. Children in Slavery through the Ages examines the children among the enslaved across a significant range of earlier times and other places; its companion volume will examine the children enslaved in recent American contexts and in the contemporary/modern world. This is the first collection to focus on children in slavery. These leading scholars bring our thinking about slaving and slavery to new levels of comprehensiveness and complexity. They further provide substantial historical depth to the abuse of children for sexual and labor purposes that has become a significant humanitarian concern of governments and private organizations around the world in recent decades. The collected essays in Children in Slavery through the Ages fundamentally reconstruct our understanding of enslavement by exploring the often-ignored role of children in slavery and rejecting the tendency to narrowly equate slavery with the forced labor of adult males. The volume's historical angle highlights many implications of child slavery by examining the variety of children's roles-as manual laborers and domestic servants to court entertainers and eunuchs-and the worldwide regions in which the child slave trade existed.

    Abstract: In China today, sex work cannot be untangled from the phenomenon of rural-urban migration, the entertainment industry, and state power. In Red Lights, Tiantian Zheng highlights the urban karaoke bar as the locus at which these three factors intersect and provides a rich account of the lives of karaoke hostesses-a career whose name disguises the sex work and minimizes the surprising influence these women often have as power brokers. Zheng embarked on two years of intensely embedded ethnographic fieldwork in her birthplace, Dalian, a large northeastern Chinese seaport of over six million people. During this time, Zheng lived and worked with a group of hostesses in a karaoke bar, facing many of the same dangers that they did and forming strong, intimate bonds with them. The result is an especially engaging, moving story of young, rural women struggling to find meaning, develop a modern and autonomous identity, and, ultimately, survive within an oppressively patriarchal state system. Moving from her case studies to broader theories of sex, gender, and power, Zheng connects a growth in capitalist entrepreneurialism to the emergence of an urban sex industry, brilliantly illuminating the ways in which hostesses, their clients, and the state are mutually created in postsocialist China.

    Abstract: The interchange between Muslims and Europe has a long and complicated history, dating back to before the idea of 'Europe' was born, and the earliest years of Islam. There has been a Muslim presence on the European continent before, but never has it been so significant, particularly in Western Europe. With more Muslims in Europe than in many countries of the Muslim world, they have found themselves in the position of challenging what it means to be a European in a secular society of the 21st century. At the same time, the European context has caused many Muslims to re-think what is essential to them in religious terms in their new reality.In this work, H.A. Hellyer analyses the prospects for a European future where pluralism is accepted within unified societies, and the presence of a Muslim community that is of Europe, not simply in it.

    Abstract: Television news range among the most extensively investigated topics in communication studies. The book contributes to television news research by focusing on whether and how news viewers who watch the same news program form similar or different interpretations. The author develops a novel concept of interpretation based on cognitive complexity research. He strongly argues that qualitative and quantitative research methods work best if they complement one another.

    Abstract: This timely volume attempts to formulate interesting new ways of talking about the entire concept of literacy in the ancient world--literacy not in the sense of whether 10% or 30% of people in the ancient world could read or write, but in the sense of text-oriented events embedded in a particular socio-cultural context. The volume is intended as a forum in which selected leading scholars rethink from the ground up how students of classical antiquity might best approach the question of literacy in the past, and how that investigation might materially intersect with changes in the way that literacy is now viewed in other disciplines.

    Abstract: The volume presents a selection of contributions by leading scholars in the field of code-switching. In the past the phenomenon of code-switching was studied within different subfields of linguistics and they all took their own perspectives on code-switching without taking into account findings from other subdisciplines. This book raises a question of a much broader multidisciplinary approach to studying the phenomenon of code-switching; calls for integration of disciplines; and illustrates how frameworks from one subfield can be applied to models in another. The volume includes survey chapters, empirical studies, contributions that use empirical data to test new hypotheses about code-switching, or suggest new approaches and models for the study of code-switching, and chapters that discuss principles and constraints of code-switching, and code-switching vs. transfer. The book is easily accessible to anyone who is interested in the phenomenon of code-switching in bilinguals.

    Keywords: Ravage, Marcus E. ; Autobiographie
    Abstract: At the turn of the twentieth century, M. E. Ravage set off in steerage for America, one of almost two million Jews who, like millions of others from eastern and southern Europe, were lured by tales of worldly success. Seventeen years after arriving on Ellis Island, Ravage had mastered a new language, found success in college, and engagingly penned in English this vivid account of the ordeals and pleasures of departure and assimilation. Steven G. Kellman brings Ravage's story to life again in this new edition, providing a brief biography and introduction that place the memoir within historical and literary contexts. An American in the Making contributes to a broader understanding of the global notion of "America" and remains timely, especially in an era when massive immigration, now from Latin America and Asia, challenges ideas of national identity.

    Abstract: This book vividly traces the genealogy of modern womanhood in the encounters between Koreans and American Protestant missionaries in the early twentieth century, during Korea's colonization by Japan. Hyaeweol Choi shows that what it meant to be a "modern" Korean woman was deeply bound up in such diverse themes as Korean nationalism, Confucian gender practices, images of the West and Christianity, and growing desires for selfhood. Her historically specific, textured analysis sheds new light on the interplay between local and global politics of gender and modernity.

    Abstract: Beauty pageants are wildly popular in the U.S. Virgin Islands, outnumbering any other single performance event and capturing the attention of the local people from toddlers to seniors. Local beauty contests provide women opportunities to demonstrate talent, style, the values of black womanhood, and the territory's social mores. Queen of the Virgins: Pageantry and Black Womanhood in the Caribbean is a comprehensive look at the centuries-old tradition of these expressions in the Virgin Islands. M. Cynthia Oliver maps the trajectory of pageantry from its colonial precursors at tea meetings, dance dramas, and street festival parades to its current incarnation as the beauty pageant or "queen show." For the author, pageantry becomes a lens through which to view the region's understanding of gender, race, sexuality, class, and colonial power. Focusing on the queen show, Oliver reveals its twin roots in slave celebrations that parodied white colonial behavior and created creole royal rituals and celebrations heavily influenced by Africanist aesthetics. Using the U.S. Virgin Islands as an intriguing case study, Oliver shows how the pageant continues to reflect, reinforce, and challenge Caribbean cultural values concerning femininity. Queen of the Virgins examines the journey of the black woman from degraded body to vaunted queen and how this progression is marked by social unrest, growing middle-class sensibilities, and contemporary sexual and gender politics.

    Abstract: Among the conflicts to break out during the Cultural Revolution in Tibet, the most famous took place in the summer of 1969 in Nyemo, a county to the south and west of Lhasa. In this incident, hundreds of villagers formed a mob led by a young nun who was said to be possessed by a deity associated with the famous warrior-king Gesar. In their rampage the mob attacked, mutilated, and killed county officials and local villagers as well as People's Liberation Army troops. This groundbreaking book, the first on the Cultural Revolution in Tibet, revisits the Nyemo Incident, which has long been romanticized as the epitome of Tibetan nationalist resistance against China. Melvyn C. Goldstein, Ben Jiao, and Tanzen Lhundrup demonstrate that far from being a spontaneous battle for independence, this violent event was actually part of a struggle between rival revolutionary groups and was not ethnically based. On the Cultural Revolution in Tibet proffers a sober assessment of human malleability and challenges the tendency to view every sign of unrest in Tibet in ethno-nationalist terms.

    Abstract: Smart Ball follows Major League Baseball's history as a sport, a domestic monopoly, a neocolonial power, and an international business. MLB's challenge has been to market its popular mythology as the national pastime with pastoral, populist roots while addressing the management challenges of competing with other sports and diversions in a burgeoning global economy. Baseball researcher Robert F. Lewis II argues that MLB for years abused its legal insulation and monopoly status through arrogant treatment of its fans and players and static management of its business. As its privileged position eroded in the face of increased competition from other sports and union resistance, it awakened to its perilous predicament and began aggressively courting athletes and fans at home and abroad. Using a detailed marketing analysis and applying the principles of a "smart power" model, the author assesses MLB's progression as a global business brand that continues to appeal to a consumer's sense of an idyllic past in the midst of a fast-paced, and often violent, present.

    Abstract: Soziales Kapital, das vor allem in sozialen Netzwerken entsteht, hat eine Vielzahl von positiven Rückwirkungen auf die Gesellschaft. Einige Autoren betrachten Sozialkapital sogar als das lange gesuchte Substitut für den Wohlfahrtsstaat, da im sozialen Kapital letztlich die "Selbsthilfekräfte" einer Gesellschaft zum Ausdruck kämen, mit denen der kostspielige Wohlfahrtsstaat überwunden werden könne.Wie jüngere Untersuchungen jedoch zeigen, hat Sozialkapital nicht nur positive Wirkungen: Ebenso kann es unter bestimmten Umständen zu gesellschaftlicher Fragmentierung und gegenseitigem Misstrauen führen. Dies sind Wirkungen, die mit den Grundgedanken des Wohlfahrtsstaates eher unvereinbar sind.Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit dieser Ambivalenz in den Wirkungen Sozialen Kapitals. Auf Basis von Rational Choice wird dabei die Frage aufgeworfen, ob Sozialkapital tatsächlich dazu geeignet erscheint, den Wohlfahrtsstaat zu ersetzen und nach bestehenden Wechselwirkungen zwischen dem Wohlfahrtsstaat und Sozialem Kapital gefragt.

    Abstract: Beeinflusst die Werbung unsere Gesellschaft - oder beeinflusst unsere Entwicklung die Werbung? Ist die Werbesprache nur ein Spiegel unserer Gesellschaft? Anhand der Werbesprache von unterschiedlichsten Anzeigentexten aus zwei Jahrzehnten analysiert die Autorin die Entwicklung der Werbesprache quantitativ und inhaltlich, zieht Parallelen zur Entwicklung der Gesellschaftund wagt Prognosen für die Zukunft. Wie spiegelt sich die Rolle der Frau in der Werbung wider? Wie hat sich das soziale Bewusstsein der Verbraucher entwickelt? Wirken sich wirtschaftliche Stimmungsschwankungen auf die Werbesprache aus? Das vorliegende Buch geht Fragen wie diesen auf den Grund und liefert überraschende Antworten.

    Abstract: In 2005, following the death of two youths of African origin, France erupted in a wave of violent protest. More than 10,000 automobiles were burned or stoned, hundreds of public buildings were vandalized or burned to the ground, and hundreds of people were injured. Charles Tshimanga, Didier Gondola, Peter J. Bloom, and a group of international scholars seek to understand the causes and consequences of these momentous events, while examining how the concept of Frenchness has been reshaped by the African diaspora in France and the colonial legacy.

    Abstract: My aim in this article is to examine two types of discourse features, through a semantic analysis of the occurrences of the word university in the Preamble to the Magna Charta Universitatum of Bologna. I will firstly look at extra-linguistic phenomena, in particular the discursive elaboration of the identity of European society, and then focus on linguistic elements, which involve rebuilding the lexical meaning in and by discursive mechanisms.This last aspect is examined through an argumentative approach, namely the Semantics of Argumentative Potentials (SAP). The form of SAP proposed is a holistic, associative and encyclopedic approach to lexical meaning capable of explaining both the "perceived" and "modeled" representations of the world created by language and the discursive potential of words (i.e. the argumentative sequences that they authorize). This approach can also be used to explain the "stable" and evolutionary parts of meaning (stereotypes).

    Abstract: Vom 19. Jahrhundert als einer Mediengesellschaft zu sprechen, erscheint als ein Anachronismus. Der Begriff sucht den Bedeutungsgewinn und die Diversifizierung der Medien in der Gegenwart zu erfassen und damit nicht zuletzt heutige von früheren Gesellschaften abzugrenzen. Die Annahme, dass Medien in früheren Gesellschaften nicht ebenfalls eine zentrale und spezifische Rolle zukam, wäre jedoch irrig. So war das 19. Jahrhundert nicht nur vom Aufstieg einer Vielzahl einstmals neuer Medien geprägt, sondern auch dadurch, dass sich die Gesellschaft über öffentliche und mediale Kommunikation erst konstituierte und ausdifferenzierte. Der Band macht es sich zur Aufgabe, ineinander greifende zentrale mediale und gesellschaftliche Entwicklungen für Deutschland und für Frankreich in einer übergreifenden wie vergleichenden Perspektive vorzustellen.

    Abstract: Hauptbeschreibung Virtuelle Umgebungen umfassen Güter, die Eigenschaften physischer Gegenstände simulieren. Diese Güter sind ihrem Code nach ausschließlich angelegt, in ihrer Inhaberschaft übertragbar und repräsentieren Informationen mit digitalem Funktionswert. Daraus resultiert ein Vermögenswert, der Fragen nach Begründung und Reichweite rechtlichen Schutzes des faktischen Inhabers aufwirft. Entgegen der Virtual Property Theory resultieren die Befugnisse gegenüber dem Betreiber dabei nur aus dem Zusammenspiel faktischer Einwirkungsmöglichkeiten mit der Gesamtheit der dem Verpflichtungsgeschäft immanenten schuldrechtlichen Ansprüche. Im Verhältnis zu Dritten verläuft die Rechtsschutzproblematik aufgrund der Client-Server-Architektur virtueller Umgebungen parallel zu der extern gespeicherter Datenbestände. Die Lösung liegt hier im Zusammenwirken der aktiven Schutzpflichten des Inhabers des Speichermediums mit den Grundsätzen der Drittschadensliquidation.   Inhaltsverzeichnis Inhaltsübersicht: Einleitung: 1: Grundgedanken - Gang der Untersuchung - 1.

    Abstract: Familienfreundlichkeit oder auch die Vereinbarkeit von Familie und Beruf ist derzeit in aller Munde. Die Bedeutung familienfreundlicher Maßnahmen schätzen immerhin gut zwei Drittel aller deutschen Unternehmen als wichtig ein. Gleichzeitig werden solche Maßnahmen aber als zu teuer empfunden. Dieses Buch hat zum Ziel, die betriebswirtschaftlichen Effekte familienfreundlicher Maßnahmen herauszustellen und damit das Potential zu demonstrieren.

    Abstract: Mit zunehmender Globalisierung aller Lebenstätigkeiten, besonders im Rahmen der Globalisierung der Wirtschaft, nehmen interkulturelle Erfahrungen heutzutage einen hohen Stellenwert ein. Der Auslandsaustausch ist daher ein aktuelles Thema in der Bildungspolitik. In bestimmten Berufsbranchen wird interkulturelle Erfahrung mittlerweile gar als „Muss" im Lebenslauf eines karriereorientierten Menschen vorausgesetzt; die gesellschaftlichen Anforderungen an die individuelle Mobilität werden stetig höher. Ein Auslandsaufenthalt stellt eine bedeutsame Erfahrung dar, die allerdings häufig auch als eine Zäsur in der Lebensgeschichte empfunden wird. Aus diesem Grund beschäftigt sich die Autorin näher mit Fragen bezüglich des Erlebens einer fremden Welt: Was hat das Fremde des Auslands mit mir zu tun, wie „passiert" persönliche Veränderung und warum ist das Zurückkommen manchmal so schwer?.

    Keywords: DIN 77800 ; Alter ; Betreutes Wohnen
    Abstract: Betreutes Wohnen hat sich als ein zukunftsweisendes Wohnkonzept erwiesen; allerdings existieren weder ein Gesetz noch eine Institution, die verbindliche Mindeststandards der Betreuungs- und Pflegeleistungen definieren bzw. sicherstellen. Mit der in dem vorliegenden Titel vorgestellten DIN-Norm 77800 wurde ein einheitliches Instrument zur freiwilligen Qualitätssicherung auf dem Markt des Betreuten Wohnens geschaffen. Die Norm definiert Mindestqualitätsstandards, die für Anbieter eine Orientierung schaffen, welche Leistungsangebote sie bereitstellen sollten. Gleichzeitig wird für die Verbraucher damit die Leistungstransparenz des Wohnangebotes gewährleistet.

    Abstract: "Woher kommen wir? Wo liegen die Grenzen unserer Macht über die Natur und wo die Grenzen ihrer Macht über uns? Welcher Zukunft gehen wir entgegen? Das sind die Probleme, die sich jedem, der in diese Welt geboren wird, immer wieder neu und mit unvermindertem Gewicht stellen", schrieb der Biologe Thomas Henry Huxley 1863. Die Fragen nach dem, was den Menschen ausmacht, sind seit Jahrhunderten die gleichen, die Antworten jedoch verändern sich in dem Maß, in dem sich die Wissenschaften wandeln und entwickeln. Dieser Band stellt aus interdisziplinären Perspektiven Menschenbilder vor und mündet in die Frage, ob im 21. Jahrhundert überhaupt noch ein einheitliches Bild vom Menschen denkbar ist.   Biographische Informationen Prof. Dr. W. Vossenkuhl, Prof. Dr. G.D. Borasio, Prof. Dr. B. Grothe, Prof. Dr. F.W.

    Keywords: Führerschein ; Mobilität ; Jugend ; Einstellung ; Psychosoziale Entwicklung
    Abstract: Der Übergang vom Kindes- in das Jugendlichenalter beinhaltet viele Veränderungen und neue Freiheitsgrade in fast allen Lebensbereichen. Vieles spricht dafür, dass sich gerade in der Frühadoleszenz wichtige mobilitätsbezogene Einstellungen und Werthaltungen konstituieren, die anschließend auch mit in die (Auto-)mobilität übernommen werden und dort das Verhalten entscheidend mitgestalten. Gerade in dieser Altersstufe läuft ein beschleunigter und in seiner Qualität sich rasch wandelnder Veränderungsprozess ab. Auf der Basis paralleler Erhebungen in drei Klassenstufen untersucht Thomas Bastian differentielle Unterschiede in den Altersgruppen der 14- bis 16-Jährigen. Die gewonnenen Erkenntnisse tragen dazu bei, Jugendliche, die den Einstieg in die Automobilität bewusst risikoreich avisieren, bereits frühzeitig zu identifizieren und zu betreuen. Das Buch wendet sich an Dozenten und Studenten der Verkehrswissenschaften, der Entwicklungspsychologie und der Soziologie ebenso wie an Praktiker in diesen Bereichen, insbesondere an Polizeibeamte.

    Abstract: In der Sonder- und Sozialpädagogik steht die demokratische Bildungs- und Erziehungskultur auf dem Prüfstand. Anerkennung, Partizipation, Dialog und die Achtung der Kinder- und Menschenrechtskonventionen werden derzeit in der pädagogischen Praxis zurück gedrängt: sozialtechnologische ‚Straf-Pädagogiken' sowie ‚Lob der Disziplin' bedienen den ordnungspolitischen Mainstream. Diese so gar nicht neue, sondern vielmehr antiquierte Erziehungskultur steht im Mittelpunkt dieses Bandes.
