    Kurzfassung: Social Identity explains how identification, seen as a social process, works: individually, interactionally and institutionally. Building on the international success of previous editions, this fourth edition offers a concise, comprehensive and readable critical introduction to social science theories of identity for advanced undergraduates and postgraduates. All the chapters have been updated, and extra new material has been added where relevant, integrating the most recent critical publications in the field.As with the earlier editions, the emphasis is on sociology, anthropology and social psychology; on the interplay between relationships of similarity and difference; on interaction; on the categorisation of others as well as self-identification; and on power, institutions and organisations.Written in clear, accessible language, and informed by relevant topical examples throughout, this fully updated new edition will be useful for students interested in social identity throughout the social sciences and humanities.

    Kurzfassung: In current global politics, which positions China as a competitor to American leadership, in-depth understandings of transnational mutual engagement are much needed for cultivating nonviolent relations. Exploring American and Chinese professors' experiences at the intersection of the individual, society, and history, and weaving the autobiographical and the global, this book furthers understanding of their cross-cultural personal awareness and educational work at universities in both countries. While focusing on life histories, it also draws on both American and Chinese intellectual traditions such as American nonviolence activism, Taoism, and Buddhism to formulate a vision of nonviolence in curriculum studies. Centering cross-cultural education and pedagogy about, for, and through nonviolence, this volume contributes to internationalizing curriculum studies and introduces curriculum theorizing at the level of higher education. Hongyu Wang brings together stories, dialogues, and juxtapositions of cross-cultural pathways and pedagogies in a powerful case for theorizing and performing nonviolence education as visionary work in the internationalization of curriculum studies.

    DDC: 304.23
    Kurzfassung: This edited collection disrupts dominant narratives about space, states, and borders, bringing comparative ethnographic and geographic scholarship in conversation with one another to illuminate the varied ways in which space becomes socialized via political, economic, and cognitive appropriation. Societies must, first and foremost, do more than wrangle over ownership and land rights - they must dwell in space. Yet, historically the interactions between the state's territorial imperative with previous forms of landscape management have unfolded in a variety of ways, including top-down imposition, resistance, and negotiation between local and external actors. These interactions have resulted in hybrid forms of territoriality, and are often fraught with fundamentally different perceptions of landscape. This book foregrounds these experiences and draws attention to situations in which different social constructions of space and territory coincide, collide, or overlap. Each ethnographic case in this volume presents forms of territoriality that are contingent upon contested histories, politics, landscape, the presence or absence of local heterogeneity and the involvement of multiple external actors with differing motivations - ultimately all resulting in the potential for conflict or collaboration and divergent implications for conceptions of community, autochthony and identity.

    Kurzfassung: In the real world, most signals are analog, spanning continuously varying values. Circuits that interface with the physical environment need to be able to process these signals. Principles of Analog Electronics introduces the fascinating world of analog electronics, where fields, circuits, signals and systems, and semiconductors meet. Drawing on the author’s teaching experience, this richly illustrated, full-color textbook expertly blends theory with practical examples to give a clear understanding of how real electronic circuits work. Build from the Essentials of Math, Physics, and Chemistry to Electronic Components, Circuits, and Applications Building a solid foundation, the book first explains the mathematics, physics, and chemistry that are essential for grasping the principles behind the operation of electronic devices. It then examines the theory of circuits through models and important theorems. The book describes and analyzes passive and active electronic devices, focusing on fundamental filters and common silicon-based components, including diodes, bipolar junction transistors, and metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs). It also shows how semiconductor devices are used to design electronic circuits such as rectifiers, power suppliers, clamper and clipper circuits, and amplifiers. A chapter explores actual applications, from audio amplifiers and FM radios to battery chargers. Delve Deeper into Analog Electronics through Curiosities, Key Personalities, and Practical Examples Each chapter includes helpful summaries with key points, jargon, and terms, as well as exercises to test your knowledge. Practical tables illustrate the coding schemes to help identify commercial passive and active components. Throughout, sidebars highlight "curiosities," interesting observations, and examples that make the subject more concrete. This textbook offers a truly comprehensive introduction to the fundamentals of analog electronics, including essential background concepts. Taking a fresh approach, it connects electronics to its importance in daily life, from music to medicine and more.

    Kurzfassung: Augmented Reality (AR) is the blending of digital information in a real-world environment. A common example can be seen during any televised football game, in which information about the game is digitally overlaid on the field as the players move and position themselves. Another application is Google Glass, which enables users to see AR graphics and information about their location and surroundings on the lenses of their "digital eyewear", changing in real-time as they move about. Augmented Reality Law, Privacy, and Ethics is the first book to examine the social, legal, and ethical issues surrounding AR technology. Digital eyewear products have very recently thrust this rapidly-expanding field into the mainstream, but the technology is so much more than those devices. Industry analysts have dubbed AR the "eighth mass medium" of communications. Science fiction movies have shown us the promise of this technology for decades, and now our capabilities are finally catching up to that vision. Augmented Reality will influence society as fundamentally as the Internet itself has done, and such a powerful medium cannot help but radically affect the laws and norms that govern society. No author is as uniquely qualified to provide a big-picture forecast and guidebook for these developments as Brian Wassom. A practicing attorney, he has been writing on AR law since 2007 and has established himself as the world's foremost thought leader on the intersection of law, ethics, privacy, and AR. Augmented Reality professionals around the world follow his Augmented Legality® blog. This book collects and expands upon the best ideas expressed in that blog, and sets them in the context of a big-picture forecast of how AR is shaping all aspects of society. Augmented reality thought-leader Brian Wassom provides you with insight into how AR is changing our world socially, ethically, and legally. Includes current examples, case studies, and legal cases from the frontiers of AR technology. Learn how AR is changing our world in the areas of civil rights, privacy, litigation, courtroom procedure, addition, pornography, criminal activity, patent, copyright, and free speech. An invaluable reference guide to the impacts of this cutting-edge technology for anyone who is developing apps for it, using it, or affected by it in daily life.

    Kurzfassung: Stay liquid, think global, and better manage resources with this authoritative guide Working Capital Management is a comprehensive primer on keeping your business financially competitive in the face of limited access to short-term funds. With detailed insight applicable to each phase in the business cycle, this authoritative guide helps managers revamp current practices for more efficient use of assets and liabilities, including more stringent monitoring and planning of collections, disbursements, and balances. Readers will learn how to minimize investments in idle resources, and how to maximize the use of forecast data to better identify risk and the optimal use of available funds. Case studies illustrate the practical applications of the ideas presented, with particular attention given to cash budgeting, forecasting, banking relationships and other common scenarios with specific requirements. Managing a company’s short-term resources is both an art and a science. Effectively maintaining funds for ongoing activities – and keeping those funds liquid, mobile, and available – is a masterful skillset lacking in business. Working Capital Management offers practical advice for managers in this challenging position, providing guidance that helps them: Learn the specific metrics at work in capital management, and the problems that they can cause Improve cash management with robust fraud protection and better use of short-term instruments Manage the issues that arise from accounts receivable, inventory, payables, information management, and international sources Develop an effective management system for key points in the working capital cycle The recent liquidity crisis in the U.S. has thrown the spotlight onto those companies that have adjusted well to credit contraction and the weakened economy, and these success stories – some of which are noted in the book – demonstrate that a positive business outcome can be accomplished. Working Capital Management provides a clear look at a complex issue, with practical, actionable, sustainable advice.

    Kurzfassung: A fully comprehensive reference combining digital communications and RFIC (Radio Frequency Integrated Circuits) in one complete volume There are many books which focus on the physical implementation of the RF/analog part of transceivers, such as the CMOS design, or the signal processing involved in digital communications. However, there is little material dedicated to transceiver architecture and system design. Similarly, much of the existing literature looks at concepts useful for dimensioning, yet offers little practical information on how to proceed for dimensioning a line-up from scratch, and on the reasons for proceeding that way. This book redresses the balance by explaining the architecture of transceivers and their dimensioning from the perspective of a RFIC architect from within industry. It bridges the gap between digital communication systems and radiofrequency integrated circuit design, covering wireless transceiver architecture and system design from both system level and circuit designer aspects. • Covers digital communication theory, electromagnetism theory and wireless networks organization, from theories to implementation, for deriving the minimum set of constraints to be fulfilled by transceivers • Details the limitations in the physical implementation of transceivers to be considered for their dimensioning, in terms of noise, nonlinearity, and RF impairments • Presents transceiver architecture and system design in terms of transceivers budgets, transceivers architectures, and algorithms for transceivers

    Kurzfassung: A detailed look at how economists shaped the world, and how the legacy continues Trillion Dollar Economists explores the prize-winning ideas that have shaped business decisions, business models, and government policies, expanding the popular idea of the economist's role from one of forecaster to one of innovator. Written by the former Director of Economic Research at Bloomberg Government, the Kauffman Foundation and the Brookings Institution, this book describes the ways in which economists have helped shape the world – in some cases, dramatically enough to be recognized with a Nobel Prize or Clark Medal. Detailed discussion of how economists think about the world and the pace of future innovation leads to an examination of the role, importance, and limits of the market, and economists' contributions to business and policy in the past, present, and future. Few economists actually forecast the economy's performance. Instead, the bulk of the profession is concerned with how markets work, and how they can be made more efficient and productive to generate the things people want to buy for a better life. Full of interviews with leading economists and industry leaders, Trillion Dollar Economists showcases the innovations that have built modern business and policy. Readers will: Review the basics of economics and the innovation of economists, including market failures and the macro-micro distinction Discover the true power of economic ideas when used directly in business, as exemplified by Priceline and Google Learn how economists contributed to policy platforms in transportation, energy, telecommunication, and more Explore the future of economics in business applications, and the policy ideas, challenges, and implications Economists have helped firms launch new businesses, established new ways of making money, and shaped government policy to create new opportunities and a new landscape on which businesses compete. Trillion Dollar Economists provides a comprehensive exploration of these contributions, and a detailed look at innovation to come.

    Kurzfassung: Most technology startups never make it to the funding stage, and only a small percentage of those that are venture-backed generate a positive return for their investors. An even smaller number of startup founders enjoy a truly prosperous exit. Bernd Schoner cofounded his tech startup during the dot-com bust, navigated it through market crises and internal turmoil, brought it through the global financial meltdown intact, and eventually sold it to a multibillion-dollar, multinational public technology company. In The Tech Entrepreneur's Survival Guide, Bernd shares what he learned and what he wished he knew at the time. He explains the major phases in a technology company's life cycle, helping entrepreneurs avoid common pitfalls and survive crises when they strike. He guides readers from the initial bootstrapping process through venture-capital financing and provides valuable advice on how to sell a technology company profitably--even in a challenging economic environment. Every chapter presents solutions to realworld issues that could otherwise have fatal consequences for a tech venture. Aspiring tech entrepreneurs will learn to: Set up shop: build the team, assemble necessary startup assets (including technology and intellectual property), get legal and financial affairs in order Secure capital: ask for money, nail the term sheet, ask for more money Get out: know when to sell, who to sell to, and how to make it a happy exit for all stakeholders, including the employees Written with deep insight, refreshing candor, and a dash of humor, this comprehensive guide to the often harsh realities of startup life is indispensable for entrepreneurs at any stage. PRAISE FOR THE TECH ENTREPRENEUR'S SURVIVAL GUIDE: "A genuine narrative from the field, with battle scars and self-reflection. Reading this book will help you avoid many pitfalls." -- Nicholas Negroponte, professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Media Lab "There's a lot of great insights and practical advice for the entrepreneur in this book, stuff you normally won't read or hear unless you buy some hard-bitten company founder a few drinks. If you are launching a technology startup, reading this book is the thing you should do first." -- Mark Roberti, founder and editor in chief of RFID Journal "I wish I had read Bernd's book when we founded The Echo Nest. Bernd touches on all the major issues in the initial formation stages of a tech company and many of the problems that come up ...

    Kurzfassung: Too many organizations are overlooking, or even suppressing, their single most powerful source of growth and innovation. And it’s right under their noses. The frontline employees who interact directly with your customers, make your products, and provide your services have unparalleled insights into where problems exist and what improvements and new offerings would have the most impact. In this follow-up to their bestseller Ideas Are Free, Alan G. Robinson and Dean M. Schroeder show how to align every part of an organization around generating and implementing employee ideas and offer dozens of examples of what a tremendous competitive advantage this can offer. Their advice will enable leaders to build organizations capable of implementing 20, 50, or even 100 ideas per employee per year. Citing organizations from around the world, they explain what’s needed to put together a management team that can lead the type of organization that embraces grassroots ideas and describe the strategies, policies, and practices that enable them. They detail exactly how high-performing idea processes work and how to design one for your organization. There’s constant pressure today to do more with less. But cutting wages and benefits and pushing people to work harder with fewer resources can go only so far. Ironically, the best solution resides with the very people who have been bearing the brunt of these measures. With Robinson and Schroeder’s advice, you can unleash a constant stream of great ideas that will strengthen every facet of your organization.

    Kurzfassung: An organizational "North Star," codifying valued behaviors for optimal performance The Culture Engine shows leaders how to create a high performing, values aligned culture through the creation of an organizational constitution. With practical step-by-step guidance, readers learn how to define their organization's culture, delineate the behaviors that contribute to greater performance and greater engagement, and draft a document that codifies those behaviors into a constitution that guides behavior towards an ideal: a safe, inspiring workplace. The discussion focuses on people, including who should be involved at the outset and how to engage employees from start to finish, while examples of effective constitutions provide guidance toward drafting a document that can actualize an organization's potential. Culture drives everything that happens in an organization day to day, including focus, priorities, and the treatment of employees and customers. A great culture drives great performance, and can help attract and retain great talent. But a great culture isn't something that evolves naturally. The Culture Engine is a guide to strategically planning a culture by compiling the company's guiding principles and behaviors into an organizational constitution. Decide which behaviors and attitudes are desired in the organization Secure leader commitment to planning, drafting, and implementing the document Learn the most effective way to socialize the draft statement and get everyone on board Model desired behaviors to boost employee engagement throughout the process Organizational culture is not an amorphous thing – it comes down from the top, inspired and exemplified by the leadership. It can steer a company up or down, keep it on mission or force it off-course. For an organization to fulfill its potential, the culture must be on-point, truly reflecting the heart of the company from leaders to team members across the company. The Culture Engine helps leaders define the playing field, pushing performance to the next level.

    Kurzfassung: Ben & Jerry’s has always been committed to an insanely ambitious three-part mission: making the world’s best ice cream, supporting progressive causes, and sharing the company’s success with all stakeholders: employees, suppliers, distributors, customers, cows, everybody. But it hasn’t been easy. This is the first book to tell the full, inside story of the inspiring rise, tragic mistakes, devastating fall, determined recovery, and ongoing renewal of one of the most iconic mission-driven companies in the world. No previous book has focused so intently on the challenges presented by staying true to that mission. No other book has explained how the company came to be sold to corporate giant Unilever or how that relationship evolved to allow Ben & Jerry’s to pursue its mission on a much larger stage. Journalist Brad Edmondson tells the story with an eye for details, dramatic moments, and memorable characters. He interviewed dozens of key figures, particularly Jeff Furman, who helped Ben and Jerry write their first business plan in 1978 and became chairman of the board in 2010. It’s a funny, sad, surprising, and ultimately hopeful story.

    Kurzfassung: EMC for Product Designers: Meeting the European EMC Directives is a six-chapter text that considers the by-product of the co-existence of all kinds of radio services, called electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). This book discusses the solution to the damaging frequency interference of EMC and the problem of EMC to electronic equipment.

The next chapters deal with the measurement of EMC; RF emission testing; features of circuits, layout, and grounding; digital and analogue circuit design; and description of interfaces, filtering, and shielding. These topics are followed by discussion of the equipment for mains harmonic emission, the facilities and equipment for measuring RF susceptibility, and the transient susceptibility to ESD. The concluding chapters examine the use of performance criteria in measuring EMC. These chapters describe the features and application of the Fourier spectrum. The book can provide useful information to economists, engineers, radio technicians, students, and researchers.

    Kurzfassung: Avoid "Shirtsleeves to Shirtsleeves" by Finding Your Voice Growing up in a family with significant wealth or a family business can often feel like an exercise in silence. What should you ask? Whom should you ask? When? Is it ever right to talk about such things? The Voice of the Rising Generation speaks directly to those who find themselves living in that silence, the so-called "next generation." Great wealth or a family business can act like a "black hole," sapping the dreams and aspirations of future generations who feel that they can never measure up to the fortune's founder. This book, written by a psychologist, an educator, and a wise counselor who single-handedly changed the landscape of family wealth, diagnoses with economy and precision the cause of entitlement and dependency. It is not too much money or too few chores. It is the failure of rising generations to individuate, that is, to pursue their dreams, develop their resilience, and find their voice. Many books are addressed to parents and grandparents who worry about the effects of wealth on their descendants.

Based on ten years of research and interviews with 80 top executives, the award-winning The Samsung Way is the first definitive guide to the groundbreaking management principles that transformed a lagging electronics company into one of the most successful brands in the world.

Create a convergence synergy among diversified businesses, while staying competitive in core businesses. Mix and match Western and Eastern management styles.

    Kurzfassung: YOUR GAME PLAN FOR WINNING BUSINESS RELATIONSHIPS Just like a football game, client building requires a solid strategy executed by a series of well-designed plays. While the ultimate objective of a sports team is to put points on the board, the plays are designed to systematically get the team into scoring position. The score itself--a touchdown, a goal, a home run--is the closing play. But you can't get there without great opening plays. In the world of business development and sales, getting into scoring position means being in the room with decision makers and influencers--and that's what The Opening Playbook helps you to do. Business development guru Andrew Dietz takes you step-by-step through the process of getting yourself into the ideal position to sell your services, whether you're a one-person operation or work for a major firm. Taking on the role of your coach, Dietz shows you "game footage" of Sam Wentworth, a law firm associate on the cusp of becoming a partner. But first he has to prove himself on the field of play by demonstrating his business development abilities. Meanwhile, the play clock is getting close to zero . . . Throughout The Opening Playbook, Dietz stops the film at critical points, showing you where Sam succeeds and where he trips up. He provides the powerful opening-drive plays (best practices for establishing authentic business relationships), analyzes the defense (obstacles in the way of the success), and suggests audibles (on-the-spot tactical modifications to answer unplanned-for challenges). The team with the best plan usually wins the day. Put yourself several steps ahead of the competition and develop winning business relationships with The Opening Playbook. PRAISE FOR THE OPENING PLAYBOOK: "Dietz outlines both the behavioral pitfalls to avoid and the disciplines to embrace on one's path to truly connecting with clients. Truly honest instruction from the Lombardi of business development coaches." -- James H. Gilmore, coauthor, The Experience Economy and Authenticity "Andrew Dietz inspires you to create great conversations with your prospects so that you become a valuable, trusted advisor. If you want long-term relationships with your clients, this is the book for you." -- Shawn Kent Hayashi, author of Conversations that Get Results and Inspire Collaboration "If you want to have your clients for life, you must read The Opening Playbook! A great storyteller, Andrew Dietz provides invaluable insights on how to b...

    Kurzfassung: Intelligence-Led Security: How to Understand, Justify and Implement a New Approach to Security is a concise review of the concept of Intelligence-Led Security. Protecting a business, including its information and intellectual property, physical infrastructure, employees, and reputation, has become increasingly difficult. Online threats come from all sides: internal leaks and external adversaries; domestic hacktivists and overseas cybercrime syndicates; targeted threats and mass attacks. And these threats run the gamut from targeted to indiscriminate to entirely accidental. Among thought leaders and advanced organizations, the consensus is now clear. Defensive security measures: antivirus software, firewalls, and other technical controls and post-attack mitigation strategies are no longer sufficient. To adequately protect company assets and ensure business continuity, organizations must be more proactive. Increasingly, this proactive stance is being summarized by the phrase Intelligence-Led Security: the use of data to gain insight into what can happen, who is likely to be involved, how they are likely to attack and, if possible, to predict when attacks are likely to come. In this book, the authors review the current threat-scape and why it requires this new approach, offer a clarifying definition of what Cyber Threat Intelligence is, describe how to communicate its value to business, and lay out concrete steps toward implementing Intelligence-Led Security. Learn how to create a proactive strategy for digital security Use data analysis and threat forecasting to predict and prevent attacks before they start Understand the fundamentals of today's threatscape and how best to organize your defenses

    Kurzfassung: Stay relevant, stay connected, STAY AHEAD OF THE GAME. When it comes to getting ahead today, your talent and experience matter. The problem is, someone else going for the promotion or business opportunity has a résumé that’s as good as, if not better than, yours. If you want to get ahead, you have to be different. You have to stand out from the crowd. You have to get decision makers to talk about you. No one understands what it takes to succeed in today’s business landscape better than D. A. (Debra) Benton. A globally recognized consultant, Benton has spent more than 20 years helping business professionals like you perform better and achieve more.

But it’s not all about improving your job performance. You are already knowledgeable, competent, and hard-working. It’s about doing typical things in atypical ways. It’s about doing things that add organizational value—without being asked. It’s about having what your competitors don’t: The CEO Difference.

    Kurzfassung: Lead your organization into the industrial revolution of analytics with The Analytics Revolution The topics of big data and analytics continue to be among the most discussed and pursued in the business world today. While a decade ago many people still questioned whether or not data and analytics would help improve their businesses, today virtually no one questions the value that analytics brings to the table. The Analytics Revolution focuses on how this evolution has come to pass and explores the next wave of evolution that is underway. Making analytics operational involves automating and embedding analytics directly into business processes and allowing the analytics to prescribe and make decisions. It is already occurring all around us whether we know it or not. The Analytics Revolution delves into the requirements for laying a solid technical and organizational foundation that is capable of supporting operational analytics at scale, and covers factors to consider if an organization is to succeed in making analytics operational. Along the way, you'll learn how changes in technology and the business environment have led to the necessity of both incorporating big data into analytic processes and making them operational. The book cuts straight through the considerable marketplace hype and focuses on what is really important. The book includes: An overview of what operational analytics are and what trends lead us to them Tips on structuring technology infrastructure and analytics organizations to succeed A discussion of how to change corporate culture to enable both faster discovery of important new analytics and quicker implementation cycles of what is discovered Guidance on how to justify, implement, and govern operational analytics The Analytics Revolution gives you everything you need to implement operational analytic processes with big data.

    Kurzfassung: How to win market leadership in a fast-changing world In the past, companies could pick a strategy and stick with it, maintaining a competitive edge for years. But today, companies surge ahead, fall behind, or even disappear in mere months. If you and your company are going to thrive for the long run, you need to continuously evolve, change, and stay a step ahead of your competition. The ability to see and capitalize on new opportunities is the cornerstone of agility. Successful technology-based firms like Google, Tesla, and Amazon have all mastered agility within their core business practices, but companies in any sector can—and must—learn to spot new opportunities and make the right choices about what to invest in, what to change, and what to abandon. The Agility Advantage first shows how to identify those aspects of your business where agility is most crucial—where the business environment is changing fast—and which elements have the greatest impact on the customer’s decision to buy. Amanda Setili then shows how to master the three components of agility: Market agility: Gain ideas from your most demanding and forward-thinking customers and from outside your industry. Engage, observe, and mix with customers to identify the opportunities created by their changing demands. Decision agility: Anticipate the changes that may affect you and turn even troubling trends into opportunities. Design your strategy to maximize learning and to manage risk. Generate diverse alternatives and make fast, fact-based decisions about which to pursue. Execution agility: Build new capabilities, shed what doesn’t fit, and take the first steps in a new direction. Experiment, then reinforce and build on what works. Enlist and inspire your organization around a compelling purpose and grant employees the autonomy and resources to continuously adapt and adjust course. The future will present more opportunities but narrower windows to capture them. With a wealth of valuable information and practical strategies, The Agility Advantage is essential reading to help any organization adapt and thrive—both today and tomorrow.

    Kurzfassung: Public budgeting structure, process, legal framework and policy with examples from industrialized and developing countries Public Budgeting in Context examines budgeting at all levels of U.S. government—federal, state, and local—and in a sample of governments around the world. The book assesses the context of public budgeting in these governments, especially the legal foundations for its practice and how the process and final budgets are impacted by governance structures, laws, various budget actors and different branches of government. The author presents focused attention on the influences on government budgets of the executive, legislative and judicial branches of government, the bureaucracy, the public and the media. In light of worldwide fiscal malaise, especially during and since the Great Recession, this book illustrates the heightened complexity of the budgeting environment that pervades all governments today—industrialized or developing, large or small. For those who like to dive into the details, the book presents numerous examples of public budgeting as practiced and points to the wealth of data available for analyses of the budgetary context and process, budget shares and results regarding virtually any government of interest. Chapters cover the constitutional and statutory provisions for budgeting in selected governments. Budget and policy agenda setting and executive leadership, legislative budget powers and the influence of the judiciary on modern government budgets are exposed. Budget execution requirements of the bureaucracy, the input of customers, clients and citizens to government budgets, and media influences on public budgets and agencies are highlighted. Budget mechanics—budget types, formats, timelines and reforms—are introduced and compared. Taxes and intergovernmental revenues are considered, with predominant tax choices at every level of government in the United States and those in a select, developing country represented. The book introduces an emerging method for investigating the outcomes of government spending—human rights budget analysis—and includes as an example the assessment of budget reform and results of public health spending in one selected government. Highlights of Public Budgeting in Context Offers a comprehensive text for understanding public budgeting in governments of a variety of contexts and capacities and across different levels Written by a noted expert in the field of public budgeting and finan...

    Kurzfassung: Awareness of design smells – indicators of common design problems – helps developers or software engineers understand mistakes made while designing, what design principles were overlooked or misapplied, and what principles need to be applied properly to address those smells through refactoring. Developers and software engineers may "know" principles and patterns, but are not aware of the "smells" that exist in their design because of wrong or mis-application of principles or patterns. These smells tend to contribute heavily to technical debt – further time owed to fix projects thought to be complete – and need to be addressed via proper refactoring. Refactoring for Software Design Smells presents 25 structural design smells, their role in identifying design issues, and potential refactoring solutions. Organized across common areas of software design, each smell is presented with diagrams and examples illustrating the poor design practices and the problems that result, creating a catalog of nuggets of readily usable information that developers or engineers can apply in their projects. The authors distill their research and experience as consultants and trainers, providing insights that have been used to improve refactoring and reduce the time and costs of managing software projects. Along the way they recount anecdotes from actual projects on which the relevant smell helped address a design issue. Contains a comprehensive catalog of 25 structural design smells (organized around four fundamental design principles) that contribute to technical debt in software projects Presents a unique naming scheme for smells that helps understand the cause of a smell as well as points toward its potential refactoring Includes illustrative examples that showcase the poor design practices underlying a smell and the problems that result Covers pragmatic techniques for refactoring design smells to manage technical debt and to create and maintain high-quality software in practice Presents insightful anecdotes and case studies drawn from the trenches of real-world projects

Starting with an overview of the hedge fund industry the book then looks at a variety of commercially available hedge fund data sources. After covering key statistical techniques and methods, the book discusses mean-variance optimisation, hedge fund classification and performance with an emphasis on risk-adjusted return metrics. Finally, common hedge fund market risk management techniques, such as traditional Value-at-Risk methods, modified extensions and expected shortfall are covered. The book's dedicated website, www.darbyshirehampton.com provides free downloads of all the data and MATLAB® source code, as well as other useful resources. Hedge Fund Modelling and Analysis Using MATLAB® serves as a definitive introductory guide to hedge fund modelling and analysis and will provide investors, industry practitioners and students alike with a useful range of tools and techniques for analysing and estimating alpha and beta sources of return, performing manager ranking and market risk management.

    Kurzfassung: WHAT'S THE BEST WAY TO SUCCEED AT WORK? MAKE SURE YOUR BOSS SUCCEEDS FIRST. Today's typical workplace may be less formal and more inclusive than those of the past, but one thing hasn't changed: The boss is the boss. A veteran of the U.S. Army, William Smullen spent 50 years leading--and being led by--some of the toughest people in the business. Over his career, he served at every level from platoon to division--and at the highest levels in the Pentagon, as well. In business terms, that's the equivalent of running a very small business to sitting in a corporate C-Suite. Smullen's final public-service assignment was chief of staff to Secretary of State Colin L. Powell. As chief of staff, one of his main responsibilities was to ensure Secretary Powell kept his positive image and was successful in everything he did. Now, he shares the lessons he learned working in some of the world’s most demanding organizations. In Ways and Means for Managing Up, he tells you everything you need to know to effectively "manage your manager" in ways that help both you and your boss succeed and rise within your company. In 50 short yet informative chapters, Smullen shares his hard-won insight, such as: View your relationship with your boss as a partnership Think of your boss as a brand Never allow your boss to be surprised Help your boss manage risk or crisis Be a strategic asset your boss counts on Whether you're good friends with your manager or have trouble coexisting in the same office, your success depends on his or her success. This has always been true, and it will always be true. You serve yourself well when you serve your boss well. Take your career to new heights by learning and applying the Ways and Means for Managing Up. It can serve as a survival guide, a road map, or a blueprint for people at every level in an organization. PRAISE FOR WAYS AND MEANS FOR MANAGING UP: A terrific book by one of the masters of truth-telling in the American military--wise, forceful, and a must-read for anyone who has a boss. My hat is off to Bill Smullen, and yours will be too when you read what he has learned over the decades." -- BOB WOODWARD, Associate Editor, The Washington Post "Bill Smullen's unique experience as a member of the U.S. Army and as chief of staff for former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and Secretary of State Colin Powell gives him some great lessons to pass on. I highly recommend Ways and Means for Managing Up. -- JIM BOEHEIM, Syracuse Universit...

    Kurzfassung: YOU can create the next breakthrough innovation A revolution is under way. But it's not about tearing down the old guard. It's about building, it's about creating, it's about breathing life into groundbreaking new ideas. It's called the Maker Movement, and it's changing the world. Mark Hatch has been at the forefront of the Maker Movement since it began. A cofounder of TechShop--the first, largest, and most popular makerspace--Hatch has seen it all. Average people pay a small fee for access to advanced tools--everything from laser cutters and milling machines to 3D printers and AutoCAD software. All they have to bring is their creativity and some positive energy. Prototypes of new products that would have cost $100,000 in the past have been made in his shop for $1,000. The Maker Movement is where all the next great inventions and innovations are happening--and you can play a part in it. The Maker Movement Manifesto takes you deep into the movement. Hatch describes the remarkable technologies and tools now accessible to you and shares stories of how ordinary people have devised extraordinary products, giving rise to successful new business ventures. He explains how economic upheavals are paving the way for individuals to create, innovate, make a fortune--and even drive positive societal change--with nothing more than their own creativity and some hard work. It's all occurring right now, all around the world--and possibly in your own neighborhood. The creative spirit lives inside every human being. We are all makers. Whether you're a banker, lawyer, teacher, tradesman, or politician, you can play an important role in the Maker society. So fire up your imagination, read The Maker Movement Manifesto --and start creating! Praise for The Maker Movement Manifesto "It’s the same revolutionary innovation model, but now applied to one of the biggest industries in the world—manufacturing." --Chris Anderson, CEO, 3D Robotics, and former Editor-in-Chief, Wired "He (Henry Ford) probably would have started in TechShop." --Bill Ford, Executive Chairman, Ford Motor Company, and great-grandson of Henry Ford "We are heading into a new age of manufacturing . . . Hatch has a front-row seat and has written the must-follow guide to democratize this new age. This is the book I wish every American would use. It contains the keys to the future of work and joy for everyone." --Robert Scoble, Startup Liaison Officer, Rackspace “TechShop is the garage that Thomas Edison w...

    Kurzfassung: For more than twenty years, management expert Bruce Tulgan has been asking , “What are the most difficult challenges you face when it comes to managing people?” Regardless of industry or job title, managers cite the same core issues—27 recurring challenges: the superstar whom the manager is afraid of losing, the slacker whom the manager cannot figure out how to motivate, the one with an attitude problem, and the two who cannot get along, to name just a few. It turns out that when things are going wrong in a management relationship, the common denominator is almost always unstructured, low substance, hit-or-miss communication. The real problem is that most managers are “managing on autopilot” without even realizing it—until something goes wrong. And if you are managing on autopilot, then something almost always does. The 27 Challenges Managers Face shows exactly how to break the vicious cycle and gain control of management relationships. No matter what the issue, Tulgan shows that the fundamentals are all you need. The very best managers hold ongoing one-on-one conversations that make expectations clear, track performance, offer feedback, and hold people accountable. For every workplace problem—even the most awkward and difficult— The 27 Challenges Managers Face shows how to tailor conversations to solve situations familiar to every manager. Tulgan offers clear approaches for turning around bad attitudes, reducing friction and conflict, improving low performers, retaining top performers, and even addressing your own personal burnout. The 27 Challenges Managers Face is an indispensable resource for managers at all levels, one anyone managing anyone will want to keep on hand. One challenge at a time, you’ll see how the most effective managers use the fundamentals of management to proactively resolve (nearly) any problem a manager could face.

    Kurzfassung: The primary objective for this study was to conduct an empirical investigation to gather information in the form of data from adolescent males and females in the Pretoria region of South Africa. Information was gathered with respects to their level of physical aggression, verbal aggression, anger, hostility and depression. The information was used to identify whether correlations exist between the three variables anger, aggression and depression for South African adolescents.   Auszug aus dem Text Text Sample: What does the literature have to say? Introduction: Anger is the most frequently expressed emotion in childhood; this emotion continues into adolescence. The onset of puberty generates more stimuli that provokes anger in teenagers; whether these stimuli pertain to the thwarting of desires, the interruption of activities in progress, fault-finding or teasing, they have the potential to create feelings of anger (Hurlock: 1987). Dr Saunders is of the opinion that anger stems from adolescent stress and is systemic to being an adolescent (Saunders: 1998). Anger remains an emotion; when the emotion translates into action it manifests as aggression. Mann (2012) adds that chronic anger has the potential to manifest as anxiety and depression. This is supported by the work of Booth (2010) who suggests that the duration of the anger episode has the greatest impact on our health. Anger that lasts longer has the most harmful effect, while anger that dissipates fairly quickly does less harm to our bodies. As feelings of anger spill over into action there are obvious consequences but failing to express anger can also create health problems. If an adolescent feels that they are unable to express their anger appropriately or they feel that they are prevented from expressing their anger; these situations can generate anxiety and ultimately depression. The...
    Kurzfassung: research of Chen, Rubin & Li (1997) has indicated that early aggressive behaviour is a predictor for later academic difficulties. In addition, these early signs of aggression include lying, stealing, fighting and resisting authority; while they are rather common to childhood behaviour, in adolescence unusually early or aggressive sexual behaviour, excessive drinking and the use of illicit drugs are frequent (Kellerman: 1999). Violence often occurs in schools because of less opportunity for ist expression outside of the school environment (Guggenbuhl: 1996). It is purported that the tendency towards violence is a basic human instinct. If the school environment is no longer a 'safe' environment for pupils and teachers it is imperative that the potential for aggressive behaviour is sufficiently distributed among the teaching and parental population. Hollin, Browne & Palmer (2004) indicate that family factors are partly responsible for aggressive behaviour in adolescents; sociological and sociodemographic characteristics are crucial to predictive and protective factors. If anger is commonplace in the life of adolescents and a large number of these teenagers resort to violent behaviour while others internalise their frustration; where is the connection between the components of anger, aggression and depression, if indeed there is a connection. Aggressive behaviour takes different forms depending on the situation the adolescent is in but it remains a serious problem in society. Physical, verbal and indirect aggression is a common expression of the teenager's frustration but specific risk factors for aggression are present. The child's character, his home environment, relationships with his peers, his performance at school and social and community factors are instrumental in transforming anger into aggression. Boys tend to use direct physical or verbal
    Kurzfassung: aggression more often than girls, while females use indirect forms of aggression predominantly (Hess & Hagen: 2005). Girls also have a tendency towards more intimate peer relations and more positive interactions with their teachers than their male counterparts (Bearman, Wheldall & Kemp: 2006). It would be prudent here to emphasize that not all aggression is bad. Reactive aggression is associated with negative emotionality, specifically anxiety and is related to frustration, while proactive aggression is associated with obtaining a desired goal (Card & Little: 2007). Anger: Children and adolescents with very poor social skills, in particular the angry, aggressive style have difficult imagining the thoughts and feelings of others. They often mistreat adults and peers without experiencing the guilt and remorse prompted by awareness of another's point of view (Chandler: 1973). Anger needs to be dealt with constructively to prevent it from manifesting as aggression (Saunders: 1998). Proposed methods for dealing with anger include waiting for the anger to subside before responding to the stimulus, attempts to identify the cause of the anger, trying to allow the anger to manifest in a calm manner and count to ten. Adolescence is a period in the child's life when dramatic changes are occurring; these changes result in altered perception of the world around them. The emotional peaks and troughs in an adolescent's life are well documented (Adams: 1995). Adolescents feel angry when their physical or social activities are prevented or in the case of an attack on their personalities, positions or status in society. An adolescent may display anger when he or she is criticised, embarrassed, underestimated, or ignored and perceive such situations as threats to his already extremely sensitive personality (Yazgan-Inanc, Bilgin & Atici: 2007). According to Eisenberg
    Kurzfassung: and Delaney (1998), anger is a result of a person's personal appreciations and frustrations. Anger has three dimensions: physiological, social and cognitive, and behavioural and reaction. The physiological dimension of anger is related to a physiological change occurring in the body when an individual is exposed to a frustration or situation that increases anger (Kisac: 1997). The social and cognitive dimension explains the interpretation of perceived anger within an individual. The reasons for anger, fear and uneasiness are not related to the event itself, but rather to individual's perception and how they interpret the symbols in their minds: their cliché beliefs, comments and evaluations (Ozer: 2000). The behaviour and reaction dimension of anger is an expression of whether anger is expressed or not, and if it is how it is expressed (Kisac: 1997). Each of us experiences anger differently and expresses our anger in different manners, these can be defined as externalization, internalization or controlling (Spielberger: 1991). The adolescent experiences his anger as a social stimulus but others' personalities and behaviour may be triggers for anger in young people (Yazgan-Inanc et al: 1997). The problem with anger is, too many of us experience too much anger for too much time in our lives; this is when anger becomes a problem for us (Dahlen & Deffenbacher: 2001). Anger essentially comprises four key components; these components may occur separately but when they exist in conjunction the emotion of anger can become a real problem: The feeling of being angry - this feeling can range in intensity from mild annoyance to overpowering rage or fury. A bodily change - this physiological arousal is often caused by the release of adrenalin, which causes a range of reactions in our body (such as increased heart rate and blood pressure). A mental or cognitive
    Kurzfassung: awareness - this sense that an event has occurred that threatens us is crucial in anger development. An effect on our behaviour - to feel real anger we need to express it in some manner, whether this is in an appropriate or inappropriate manner (Mann: 2012). It is common to confuse the idea of anger and aggression; anger remains an emotion while aggression is the action that can result from being very angry. The aggression is intended to cause physical or emotional harm, perhaps with verbal insults, threats, sarcasm or raised voices. When aggression becomes so extreme that we lose self-control, it is said that we are in a rage. The emotions connected to anger are not the problem; if we experience too much anger or express it in an inappropriate manner we can create problems for ourselves and for others. We experience anger for a number of reasons; anger in and of itself is not harmful and can be seen as a protective factor in cases. We feel anger when we need or want something outside of our reach. Researchers have suggested that anger is behaviour-regulating programmes that will help us acquire what we want or need in order to survive; our expression of anger can encourage the target of our anger to offer something that might reduce the likelihood of them suffering in any way from the angry outburst. This type of anger would probably not be tolerated with adolescents due to the inappropriate nature of ist use. Anger may also assist in preparing us for action. In a similar fashion to stress, anger sends signals throughout the body in preparation for the fight or flight response. Anger in this sense is essential to prepare us to take action against the perceived injustice against us. While our anger may prepare us to fight, this form of aggression is not socially acceptable. Anger also informs us when our rights have been violated; this heightened
    Kurzfassung: awareness.

    Kurzfassung: Kinder psychisch kranker Eltern stellen in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland mitnichten eine Randgruppe dar. Hochrechnungen zufolge wachsen in Deutschland etwa drei Millionen Kinder mit einem psychisch erkrankten Elternteil auf. Da sich die psychische Erkrankung nicht nur auf den betroffenen Elternteil, sondern auf das gesamte Familiensystem und somit auch auf die Kinder auswirkt, sind diese in vielfältiger Hinsicht von der elterlichen Erkrankung betroffen.In diesem Buch wird betrachtet, ob und in welchem Ausmaß die elterliche Erkrankung ein Risiko für die Entwicklung betroffener Kinder darstellt. Dabei wird zuerst auf die familiären Rahmenbedingungen und die Auswirkungen der elterlichen Erkrankung auf Bindung, Beziehung und Interaktion sowie auf die Gestaltung des Lebensalltags eingegangen. Im Anschluss werden in Bezug auf die möglichen Entwicklungsrisiken betroffener Kinder nicht nur die Risiken der Ausbildung allgemeiner Entwicklungsauffälligkeiten, sondern auch das Risiko, selbst psychisch zu erkranken, betrachtet. Abschließend werden Hilfemöglichkeiten sowie die Spannungsfelder zwischen Jugendhilfe und Erwachsenenpsychiatrie beleuchtet. Auszug aus dem TextTextprobe:Kapitel 2, Leben mit psychisch kranken Eltern:Behandelt man die Thematik 'Leben mit psychisch kranken Eltern', ist die Stigmatisierung kein unbedeutender Aspekt, weil Vorurteile gegenüber psychisch kranken Menschen weit verbreitet sind. Psychisch erkrankte Menschen zählen zu den Gruppen, die in unserer Gesellschaft am stärksten stigmatisiert werden. Von der Stigmatisierung sind vor allem Menschen, die unter einer schizophrenen oder affektiven Störung leiden, betroffen. Dies sind ungefähr ein bis zwei Prozent der Bevölkerung. Werden Angehörige mit einbezogen, so sind in Deutschland ca. fünf Millionen Menschen direkt oder indirekt davon betroffen. Durch frühe Fehlschlüsse der...
    Kurzfassung: Psychiatrie sowie die einseitige Berichterstattung der Medien bleiben Vorurteile, welche bereits wissenschaftlich falsifiziert wurden, bestehen. Eine englische Studie aus dem Jahr 1996 hat sich mit den Verhaltensweisen, die mit einer psychischen Erkrankung in Verbindung gebracht werden, sowie mit der Frage, ob man einen psychisch kranken Menschen erkennen kann, befasst. Die Ergebnisse beinhalteten folgende Aspekte: Psychisch Kranke verhalten sich seltsam, sprechen sonderbar und haben ein aggressives Wesen. Des Weiteren können sie an ihrem Gesichtsausdruck und ihrer Kleidung erkannt werden. Psychisch kranke Menschen machen resultierend aus den in der Gesellschaft verbreiteten Vorurteilen unter anderem folgende Erfahrungen: Freunde meiden ihren Kontakt, von Nachbarn und/oder Arbeitskollegen werden sie zurückgewiesen und erhalten Absagen bei Bewerbungen um einen Arbeitsplatz. Das Etikett 'psychisch krank' wird zu einer zweiten Erkrankung, welche ebenso belastend sein kann, wie die eigentliche Erkrankung. Zudem kann sie zum vorrangigen Hindernis der Genesung werden und zu einer Chronifizierung der Erkrankung führen.Im Folgenden werden zunächst die familiären Rahmenbedingungen und die Auswirkungen der elterlichen Erkrankung auf Bindung, Beziehung und Interaktion betrachtet. Ferner sollen die Auswirkungen der elterlichen Erkrankung auf den Lebensalltag behandelt werden.2.1, Familiäre Rahmenbedingungen:2.1.1, Art der Erkrankung:Schizophrenie und Depressionen gehören zu den am meisten gestellten Diagnosen bei psychisch erkrankten Eltern. Albert Lenz konnte in einer eigenen Studie im Jahr 2005 feststellen, dass bei Patienten, die Eltern von minderjährigen Kindern sind, sämtliche Arten von psychischen Erkrankungen auftreten.Im Folgenden sollen einige dieser Erkrankungen kurz vorgestellt werden. Hierzu ist es zunächst notwendig zu erklären, was eine
    Kurzfassung: psychische Erkrankung ist. Eine exakte Definition dieses Terminus zu finden scheint so gut wie unmöglich zu sein, da die Frage in etwa so komplex ist wie die Frage danach, was ein Mensch ist.Der Begriff der psychischen Krankheit beziehungsweise Gesundheit wird von Pretis und Dimova wie folgt beschrieben:Gesundheit und Krankheit werden auf einem Kontinuum angesiedelt. Es gibt nahtlose, zeitlich variable Übergänge.Gesundheit und Krankheit stellen ein auschlaggebendes interaktives Konstrukt dar, welches die Interaktion zwischen Menschen beeinflusst. So verändert bereits die Zuschreibung einer psychischen Erkrankung die Kommunikation.Das Etikett 'psychisch krank' ist stigmatisierend und erscheint 'tabuisierend'. Mit diesem Etikett gehen soziale Bewertungen einher.Gesundheit und Krankheit beziehen sich auf Teilbereiche des menschlichen Fühlens, Denkens und Erlebens. Es existieren immer auch gesunde Anteile der Persönlichkeit.In Europa und den USA werden psychische Erkrankungen auf Grundlage allgemein anerkannter Klassifikationssysteme diagnostiziert. Während in den USA mit dem DSM-V gearbeitet wird, verwendet man in Europa das ICD-10 der Weltgesundheitsorganisation.Schizophrenie:'Zuerst verspürst du nur gewisse körperliche Symptome, dann hast du plötzlich neue Erkenntnisse über die Welt und deine Lebenssituation. Von einer Minute auf die andere bist du Mittelpunkt einer geheimen Konspiration der Weltmächte. Du wirst von Spezialagenten beider Seiten verfolgt, überwacht und zu einem ungewissen Ziel geführt. Natürlich stehst du auf der guten Seite und hast eine Mission. Aber welche? Auf dich sind Satelliten angesetzt und eine Gehirnabtastmaschine. Die gegnerische Seite will dich verrückt machen. Alle Fernsehprogramme werden extra für dich gemacht. Du willst Mut und Tapferkeit beweisen. Du isst nichts mehr und machst Ausdauerstehen. Nach einer Narkose
    Kurzfassung: glaubst du, das Weltall hätte sich in deinem Kopf umgestülpt und die Weiterexistenz des Universums hinge von einer Instabilität in deinem Kopf ab. Du glaubst, nicht mehr klar denken zu dürfen. Deshalb überwachen die Wissenschaftler der Erde deinen Kopf'.Ungefähr 1% der Menschheit erkrankt im Laufe des Lebens an Schizophrenie. Rund um den Globus sind ca. 50 Millionen Menschen von dieser Erkrankung betroffen. Dabei gibt es zwar keine Unterschiede in der Geschlechtsspezifität, jedoch tritt die Erkrankung - die meistens nach der Pubertät bis zum 30. Lebensjahr in Erscheinung tritt - bei Männern früher auf als bei Frauen. Die Schizophrenie wird als eine der schwersten psychischen Erkrankungen angesehen. Es kommt zu Störungen des Wahrnehmens, des Denkens und des Fühlens. 'Die wichtigsten Symptome schizophrener Psychosen (vgl. z. B. Klassifikationssystem DSM-IV, 1994) sind die folgenden: Wahn, Halluzinationen, eingeschränkte Affektivität, desorganisiertes Handeln und Sprechen sowie soziale oder berufliche Leistungseinbußen.' Hierbei wird zwischen positiven Symptomen, bei welchen der Realität etwas hinzugefügt wird, wie es beispielsweise bei Halluzinationen der Fall ist, und negativen Symptomen, zu welchen unter anderem Lustlosigkeit und Spracharmut sowie Ungeselligkeit zählen, unterschieden. Der Verlauf der Erkrankung kann verschiedenartig sein. So kann sie nicht nur in unterschiedlicher Schwere, sondern auch einmalig, in Abständen oder dauerhaft auftreten.Affektive Störungen:'Ich bin ein menschlicher Verkehrsunfall. Irgendwann bin ich einfach stehengeblieben, und dann sind Erlebnisse wie LKWs in mich hineingefahren. Man kann sich vorstellen, dass das zu großen Problemen führt. Wenn man nicht ausweicht, geht das einfach immer weiter. Der Unfall wird immer größer, immer unübersichtlicher, und irgendwann stehst du auf der Gegenfahrbahn und fragst dich, was
    Kurzfassung: eigentlich zum Teufel gerade passiert ist'.Affektive Störungen sind im ICD-10 in den Abschnitten F30 bis F39 definiert. Sie werden als Störungen der Befindlichkeit und der subjektiven Gefühlslage angesehen, welche gewöhnlich von einer Veränderung des Aktivitätsniveaus begleitet wird. Bei dieser Gruppe von Störungen wird differenziert zwischen unipolaren Störungen, die ausnahmslos durch Krankheitsbilder mit manischen oder depressiven Episoden charakterisiert sind, und bipolaren Störungen, die in abwechselnden depressiven beziehungsweise manischen Perioden der Erkrankung verlaufen.Depression:Die Depression gehört, wie oben bereits erwähnt, zu den unipolaren Störungen. Sie lässt sich durch Traurigkeit, Niedergeschlagenheit und Verstimmung charakterisieren. Die depressive Stimmung geht gewöhnlich mit einer Reduzierung der Aufmerksamkeit, des Antriebs, des Aktivitätsniveaus und der Konzentrationsfähigkeit einher. Zudem sind oft Tendenzen zur Vermeidung, zum Rückzug und zur Flucht erkennbar. Während einer depressiven Phase ist nur wenig Selbstvertrauen erkennbar, Schuldgefühle, pessimistische Zukunftsperspektiven und Gefühle von Wertlosigkeit treten auf. Im ICD-10 wird zwischen einer leichten, einer mittelgradigen und einer schweren Depression unterschieden. Depressionen treten meistens in Phasen auf, die Wochen bis Monate oder sogar Jahre fortbestehen können.Manie:Die Manie kann durch eine situationsunangemessene gereizte oder gehobene Stimmung charakterisiert werden, welche mit einer Vermehrung körperlicher und psychischer Aktivität einhergeht. Zu den Symptomen zählen unter anderem Rededrang, motorische Ruhelosigkeit sowie der Verlust von generellen sozialen Hemmungen.Manisch-depressive Störung:Bei der manisch-depressiven Störung sind Stimmungsschwankungen charakteristisch. Einerseits tritt bei Betroffenen eine gehobene Stimmung auf, wie sie für die

    Kurzfassung: Das Buch ‚Partizipation von Jugendlichen - ein Kinderspiel?' ist in einer Kooperation von Julia Verena Köffer (Sozialwirtschaft B.A., Jugendhilfe M.A.) mit Simon Schnetzer (Dipl. Volkswirt), Geschäftsführer von ‚DATAJOCKEY: Social Research & Dialogue', entstanden. Im Rahmen der Kooperation wurde das Jugendforschungs- und Beteiligungsprojekt 'junge Deutsche' mit Methoden der Qualitativen Sozialforschung ausgewertet. Erkenntnisinteresse der Auswertung war die Beantwortung der Frage: Wie müssen kommunale Beteiligungsprozesse gestaltet werden, um erfolgreich zu sein? Für die qualitative Studie wurden im Zeitraum von Juni bis August 2013 mündliche Befragungen in Form von ExpertInneninterviews und Gruppendiskussionen mit TeilnehmerInnen des Projektes 'junge Deutsche' durchgeführt. Die Ergebnisse dieser mündlichen Befragungen wurden anhand einer Qualitativen Analyse aufbereitet und stellten die Grundlage, für die von den Autoren entwickelten Handlungsempfehlungen für Beteiligungsprozesse von Jugendlichen im kommunalen Raum dar. Um diese Handlungsempfehlungen in einen Kontext zu stellen, wird in Teil 1 des Buches auf die Partizipation Jugendlicher als Handlungsmaxime von Jugendarbeit eingegangen. Im zweiten Teil werden die Rahmenbedingungen der Partizipation junger Menschen im kommunalen Raum dargestellt. Zum einen wird mit dem vorliegenden Buch die Intention verfolgt einen Überblick über das Feld der Partizipation Heranwachsender in der Kommune zu geben. Zum anderen kann mit den Handlungsempfehlungen für Beteiligungsprozesse im kommunalen Raum zur Beantwortung der Frage, wie die Partizipation junger Menschen in ihrem Wohnumfeld gelingen kann, beigetragen werden. Auszug aus dem TextTextprobe:Kapitel 2, Partizipation von Jugendlichen im kommunalen Raum:Der zweite Teil des vorliegenden Buches geht näher auf die Partizipation von Jugendlichen im kommunalen...
    Kurzfassung: Raum ein. In diesem Zusammenhang wird der Schwerpunkt auf die Gestaltung von Beteiligungsprozessen im Lebensumfeld junger Menschen gelegt. Zu diesem Zweck wird zu Beginn in Kapitel 2.1 aus verschiedenen Perspektiven begründet, warum die Partizipation in der Kommune nicht ausschließlich einen Selbstzweck verfolgt, sondern sowohl den jungen Menschen selbst als auch den Kommunen nützt.2.1, Begründungszusammenhänge:Argumente für die Partizipation von jungen Menschen im kommunalen Raum finden sich in verschiedenen Fachdiskursen: unter anderem in der Rechtswissenschaft, der Politikwissenschaft oder der Pädagogik. Im ersten Teil dieser Veröffentlichung wurde aus dem Blickwinkel der Rechtswissenschaft argumentiert, warum die Partizipation junger Menschen an sie betreffenden Angelegenheiten notwendig ist. An dieser Stelle wird die Bedeutsamkeit der Beteiligung Heranwachsender in der Kommune zuerst aus politischer Sichtweise und schließlich aus pädagogischer Perspektive begründet. Diese beiden Zugänge spielen im Kontext dieser Untersuchung eine besondere Rolle, da sich das Handlungsfeld Jugendarbeit genau in ihrer Schnittmenge befindet (vgl. Moser 2010, S. 87). Vollständigkeitshalber wird zum Abschluss dieses Kapitels noch auf Gegenargumente der Partizipation junger Menschen in ihrem Lebensumfeld eingegangen.2.1.1, Politische Argumente:Gemäß dem partizipatorischen Demokratieverständnis ist Partizipation die aktive Praxis der Demokratie (vgl. Knauer/Sturzenhecker 2005, S. 68). Dieses Verständnis will die Beteiligung möglichst Vieler an möglichst Vielem - sprich '(…) an der Erörterung, Aushandlung und Entscheidung möglichst vieler öffentlicher Angelegenheiten' (Koopmann 2008, S. 5). Dadurch sollen die Legitimität, Stabilität und Regierbarkeit des demokratischen Systems erhöht werden. Dieses Steuerungssystem ist als 'Good Governance' (ebd.) bekannt und
    Kurzfassung: zeichnet sich neben Transparenz und Kooperation, wesentlich durch die Stärkung der Bürgerschaft im Sinne von Empowerment (siehe 1.3.3) aus. Dieser Ansatz ist mit dem idealtypischen BürgerInnenbild der 'citoyens' (Koopmann 2008, S. 5) verbunden: Der Bürgerschaft, die aktiv und eigenverantwortlich am Gemeinwesen teilnimmt und dieses mitgestaltet (vgl. ebd.). Nach dem 'Dreiklang' der Bürgerarbeit ist die Voraussetzung für die Beteiligung von BürgerInnen allerdings, dass sie es wollen, können und dürfen (vgl. Gernbauer 2008, S. 17). Damit Heranwachsende überhaupt die Chance bekommen diesem Ideal gerecht zu werden, müssen die notwendigen Rahmenbedingungen, in Form von personellen, finanziellen und zeitlichen Ressourcen für Partizipation seitens der Kommunen geschaffen werden (vgl. Koopmann 2008, S. 5). Dadurch könnte der Partizipation Jugendlicher an kommunalen Planungs- und Entscheidungsprozessen sogar ein präventiver Charakter zugesprochen werden: Durch ihre Beteiligung wird jungen Menschen die Möglichkeit gegeben ihre Meinungen, Interessen und Ängste zu formulieren. Folglich können die Bedürfnisse der jungen Generation besser abgebildet, in Bedarfe umformuliert und politische Planungs- und Entscheidungsprozesse optimiert werden. Diese effiziente Steuerung kann die Jugendhilfeplanung einer Kommune verbessern, trägt zur Kinder- und Jugendfreundlichkeit bei und steigert unter dem Strich die Attraktivität eines Standortes (vgl. Bertelsmann Stiftung 2008, S. 37 ff.).2.1.2, Pädagogische Argumente:Die Entwicklung von Selbstständigkeit gewinnt vor dem Hintergrund gesellschaftlicher Trends, wie der Individualisierung oder Pluralisierung von Lebensformen, immer mehr an Bedeutung. Um diese Fähigkeit zu erlernen, müssen junge Menschen Freiräume zugestanden bekommen, in denen sie sich ausprobieren und in unsere Gesellschaft einbringen können (vgl. Moser 2010, S.
    Kurzfassung: 90). Eine Möglichkeit Freiräume zu gewähren ist die Beteiligung Jugendlicher an kommunalen Planungs- und Entscheidungsprozessen. Da Partizipation als ein zentraler Faktor in der Entwicklung von Selbst-, Sozial- und Methodenkompetenzen gesehen werden kann und somit zu gesellschaftlicher Anerkennung und der Steigerung des Selbstwertgefühls führt, kann sie als ein erfolgreiches Integrationsinstrument bezeichnet werden (vgl. Bertelsmann Stiftung 2008, S. 37). Gemäß dem Gedanken des Empowermentansatzes, die Autonomie und Selbstbestimmung junger Menschen zu fördern, ist die Beteiligung von Jugendlichen an kommunalen Planungs- und Entscheidungsprozessen obligatorisch. Damit junge Menschen mit ihrer Freiheit adäquat umgehen können, müssen sie jedoch dazu befähigt werden. Die 'Krux' dabei ist, dass die Erziehenden bei der Gewährung von Freiräumen stets vor dem - für pädagogische Prozesse klassischen - Dilemma stehen '(…) Kindern und Jugendlichen als ExpertInnen ihrer selbst partnerschaftlich zu begegnen und sie gleichzeitig vor Überforderungen zu schützen' (Moser 2010, S. 90). Partizipationsmodelle, die versuchen mit diesem Paradox umzugehen, fordern die Mündigkeit von Heranwachsenden heraus, indem sie ihnen Freiräume bieten, in denen sie selbstbestimmt handeln können. Wenn diese Voraussetzungen gegeben sind, verfolgt Partizipation nicht nur einen Selbstzweck, sondern dient auch dem Gemeinwesen: Denn wenn junge Menschen als ExpertInnen in eigener Sache ernst genommen werden, können sie Erwachsenen bei der Bewältigung gesellschaftlicher Herausforderungen und der Entwicklung innovativer Lösungsansätze im kommunalen Raum behilflich sein. Dadurch kann zum Dialog der Generationen angestiftet, Konflikte minimiert und das Gemeinwesen belebt werden (vgl. Bertelsmann Stiftung 2008, S. 37 ff.).2.1.3, Gegenargumente:In den vorangegangenen zwei Kapiteln wurde die
    Kurzfassung: Partizipation von Jugendlichen im kommunalen Raum aus politischer und pädagogischer Perspektive begründet. Diese Argumentationsstränge können als Chancen kommunaler Beteiligungsprozesse junger Menschen gesehen werden. Doch die Forderung nach der Beteiligung junger Menschen in ihrem Wohnumfeld stößt in ihrer Umsetzung auch an ihre Grenzen. Zwei besonders relevante Gegenargumente werden an dieser Stelle kurz dargestellt, um verständlich zu machen, warum Partizipation ihrem Anspruch in der Praxis oftmals nicht gerecht wird:Als eine Grenze kommunaler Beteiligungsprozesse junger Menschen kann der Umstand bezeichnet werden, dass Heranwachsende in der Praxis oftmals nicht als Subjekte, sondern als Objekte, demokratischer Entscheidungen gesehen werden (vgl. Knauer/Sturzenhecker 2005, S. 64). Dieses Muster ist in gewisser Weise paternalistisch: Denn Beteiligungsmöglichkeiten, die BürgerInnen sanft stimmen sollen, anstatt sie zu emanzipieren, nennt Reimer Gronemeyer 'apathische Partizipation' (Gronemeyer 1973). Diese Art der Partizipation ist in der Praxis nach wie vor auf allen Ebenen - von der Europäischen Union bis zu Lokalpolitik - weit verbreitet. Apathische Partizipation verfolgt das Ziel Heranwachsende in gegebene Strukturen einzufügen. Dadurch wird die politische Praxis nicht hinsichtlich Zugangsbarrieren für junge Menschen hinterfragt, sondern lediglich in ein gutes Licht gerückt (vgl. Knauer/Sturzenhecker 2005, S. 65). In solchen Partizipationsmodellen kann folglich eher von Scheinpartizipation als von emanzipatorischer Partizipation gesprochen werden.Eine weitere Grenze der Partizipation junger Menschen im kommunalen Raum ist die Kritik am Steuerungssystem Good Governance. Diese Kritik geht davon aus, dass die Partizipation möglichst Vieler an möglichst Vielem zur Unregierbarkeit des Gemeinwesens führt. Demnach würde die Beteiligung junger
    Kurzfassung: Menschen.

    Kurzfassung: Gay neighborhoods, like the legendary Castro District in San Francisco and New York's Greenwich Village, have long provided sexual minorities with safe havens in an often unsafe world. But as our society increasingly accepts gays and lesbians into the mainstream, are "gayborhoods" destined to disappear? Amin Ghaziani provides an incisive look at the origins of these unique cultural enclaves, the reasons why they are changing today, and their prospects for the future. Drawing on a wealth of evidence--including census data, opinion polls, hundreds of newspaper reports from across the United States, and more than one hundred original interviews with residents in Chicago, one of the most paradigmatic cities in America--There Goes the Gayborhood? argues that political gains and societal acceptance are allowing gays and lesbians to imagine expansive possibilities for a life beyond the gayborhood. The dawn of a new post-gay era is altering the character and composition of existing enclaves across the country, but the spirit of integration can coexist alongside the celebration of differences in subtle and sometimes surprising ways. Exploring the intimate relationship between sexuality and the city, this cutting-edge book reveals how gayborhoods, like the cities that surround them, are organic and continually evolving places. Gayborhoods have nurtured sexual minorities throughout the twentieth century and, despite the unstoppable forces of flux, will remain resonant and revelatory features of urban life.

    Kurzfassung: This is a timely book on one of the most widely debated issues in applied linguistics: what is the social and cultural significance of English as a lingua franca for the internationally mobile students of the 21st century in Central Europe? Through an in-depth analysis of social practices, the book develops an exciting, innovative multilingual approach to out-of-class language use and language learning that engages students in the co-construction of identities. Apart from scholars, the book will appeal to policy makers and educators who are concerned with the internationalization of universities in Central Europe.

    Kurzfassung: This book provides a range of interdisciplinary and international perspectives on difficulties in literacy development. The high-profile team of contributors provide ethical and policy discussions, as well as contextualising individual and collective strategies to addressing difficulties in literacy development. The chapters break new ground by encompassing a wide range of perspectives related to critical literacy, socio-cultural, cognitive, and psychological viewpoints, to help inform practice, policy and research into literacy difficulties. Issues addressed include: *the different ways literacy can be conceptualised through social-science based disciplinary perspectives *the issues at the centre of current public and professional debates surrounding literacy difficulties and how these have impacted upon pedagogical responses *the impact of these wider political and social issues on individual students. This reader forms the basis of the Open University's Difficulties in Literacy Development course, but will also be of interest to postgraduate students, teachers, researchers, education professionals and policymakers who are keen to address difficulties in literacy development.
