    Abstract: The book addresses a timely issue that attracts both researchers and policy-makers: the factors explaining early retirement. The study uses cutting-edge methodology to produce fresh empirical evidence that sheds a new light on the processes of leaving work and challenges occasionally the conventional wisdom on the cross-national differences in retirement ages.

    Abstract: Do women participate in and influence meetings equally with men? Does gender shape how a meeting is run and whose voices are heard? The Silent Sex shows how the gender composition and rules of a deliberative body dramatically affect who speaks, how the group interacts, the kinds of issues the group takes up, whose voices prevail, and what the group ultimately decides. It argues that efforts to improve the representation of women will fall short unless they address institutional rules that impede women's voices. Using groundbreaking experimental research supplemented with analysis of school boards, Christopher Karpowitz and Tali Mendelberg demonstrate how the effects of rules depend on women's numbers, so that small numbers are not fatal with a consensus process, but consensus is not always beneficial when there are large numbers of women. Men and women enter deliberative settings facing different expectations about their influence and authority. Karpowitz and Mendelberg reveal how the wrong institutional rules can exacerbate women's deficit of authority while the right rules can close it, and, in the process, establish more cooperative norms of group behavior and more generous policies for the disadvantaged. Rules and numbers have far-reaching implications for the representation of women and their interests. Bringing clarity and insight to one of today's most contentious debates, The Silent Sex provides important new findings on ways to bring women's voices into the conversation on matters of common concern.

    Abstract: Thomas S. Kuhn coined the term "paradigm shift" in 1962, and since then, it has taken on discursive power beyond the realm of the philosophy of science. This work's examination of the cultural applications of the "paradigmatic" helps us to achieve a more precise understanding of the different ways that the term has been used.

    Abstract: On the basis of a world-wide convenience sample of 116 languages, the distribution of zero-marking of spatial relations over the languages of the world is shown to largely escape any genetically, areally and/or typologically based constraints. The main goal of this book is to firmly establish the cross-linguistic occurrence of the zero-marking of spatial relations and to provide a framework for its study in terms of economy and predictability.

    Abstract: This classic ethnography examines the social and economic position of women in Bamena, British Cameroons, in 1944. The field study was prompted by the conditions in Bamenda, when despite considerable natural resources, there was underpopulation, a very high infant mortality, and the status of women was very low. This rich and engaging study looks at all aspects of life in Bamena, and includes a number of original photographs.

    Abstract: Entrepreneurship can be read as a cultural and economic phenomenon. In recent times, gender has become an increasing influence on entrepreneurship. This groundbreaking new study considers both gender and entrepreneurship as symbolic forms, looking at their diverse patterns and social representation. Presenting an ethnographic study of the gender structuring of entrepreneurship, this work employs three strategies: A critical survey of gender studies which argues that entrepreneurship is a cultural model of masculinity that obstructs the expression of other models; 'Reflexive' ethnographic observation conducted in five small firms which describes how business cultures are 'gendered' and how gender is the product of a social practice; An analysis of how discursive and narrative practices in business cultures constitute gender and entrepreneurship.

    Abstract: East Asia from 1400 to 1850 was a vibrant web of connections, and the southern coast of the Korean peninsula participated in a maritime world that stretched to Southeast Asia and beyond. Within this world were Japanese pirates, traders, and fishermen. They brought things to the Korean peninsula and they took things away. The economic and demographic structures of Kyongsang Province had deep and wide connections with these Japanese traders. Social and political clashes revolving around the Japan House in Pusan reveal Korean mentalities towards the Japanese connection. This study seeks to define 'Korea' by examining its frontier with Japan. The guiding problems are the relations between structures and agents and the self-definitions reached by pre-modern Koreans in their interaction with the Japanese. Case studies range from demography to taxation to trade to politics to prostitution. The study draws on a wide base of primary sources for Korea and Japan and introduces the problems that animate modern scholarship in both countries. It offers a model approach for Korea's northern frontier with China and shows that the peninsula was and is a complex brocade of differing regions. The book will be of interest to anyone concerned with pre-1900 East Asia, Korea in particular, and especially Korea's relations with the outside world. Anyone interested in early-modern Japan and its external relations will also find it essential reading.

    Abstract: Le témoignage de Samanta Borzi est celui d'une renaissance et d'une fabuleuse évolution. Petite fille mal aimée, elle est terrorisée par une belle-mère qui lui fait croire que le diable et l'enfer sont partout.Elle grandit dans un univers peuplé de cauchemars, minée par une image désastreuse qu'elle a d'elle-même.À l'adolescence, elle plonge : prostitution et drogue. Accro à l'héroïne, le drame éclate : Samanta, enceinte, s'endort après avoir pris une dose et perd son bébé in utero.Inconsolable, dévorée par un sentiment terrible de culpabilité, elle sombre encore plus dans la drogue.Enceinte pour la deuxième fois et toujours dépendante de la drogue, Samanta met au monde un fils. Il naît drogué et en manque. Un soir, la jeune femme le dépose dans un hôpital et, le coeur anéanti, supplie qu'on le prenne en charge, car elle se sait incapable de subvenir à son bien-être.Jusqu'au jour où...Samanta Borzi nous livre ici, en toute intimité, une autobiographie poignante. Sans détour, elle n'hésite pas à évoquer les étapes difficiles de sa vie.A PROPOS DE L'AUTEUR :Aujourd'hui, Samanta est comédienne et a récupéré son fils placé longtemps en famille d'accueil. Elle est à l'affiche du film « Moroccan Gigolo's » d'Ismaël Saïdi. Et les projets s'enchaînent.EXTRAIT :PRENEZ-LE, JE L'AIME TROPCela faisait plusieurs semaines que ma consommation de drogue était de plus en plus chaotique, les hallucinations et les crises psychotiques allaient croissantes. Prise d'une peur panique, je me suis rendue chez une psychiatre pour déposer ce fardeau que je portais depuis huit mois.Je lui ai tout expliqué en lui demandant de l'aide.Elle m'a écoutée attentivement et m'a prescrit un médicament, le Solian1.En me tendant l'ordonnance, elle me rassura et me dit que cette béquille m'aiderait et ferait disparaitre tous les symptômes.Après m'être rendue à la pharmacie, j'ai ouvert...
    Abstract: la boîte de médicaments et j'ai lu la notice.Voyant qu'on le prescrivait en cas de schizophrénie, je n'ai pas voulu le prendre, je ne me sentais pas concernée et je me suis dit qu'il n'était pas approprié à mon état.Au lieu de ça, je suis allée acheter une boulette de coke et je suis rentrée chez moi.Je n'avais jamais été autant accro, il ne restait plus rien de la Samanta que j'avais été, la coke l'avait complètement dévorée…Les deux jours qui ont suivi, j'ai à peine dormi trois heures, je n'avais plus un sou, j'avais tout dépensé dans la came. Tout l'appartement empestait l'ammoniac avec lequel je préparais ma coke. Tout était en chantier. Des tas de déchets de ma consommation traînaient au sol : aluminium chiffonné, plusieurs bouteilles en plastique à terre, pleines de cendre qui me servait à fumer ma crasse, du linge accumulé dans toutes les pièces. Plus de langes, ni d'eau en bouteille pour le petit, à peine de quoi lui faire encore un biberon.Mon corps et mon esprit étaient à bout….

    Abstract: In contemporary Indian Country, many of the people who identify as "American Indian" fall into the "urban Indian" category: away from traditional lands and communities, in cities and towns wherein the opportunities to live one's identity as Native can be restricted, and even more so for American Indian religious practice and activity.Tradition, Performance, and Religion in Native America: Ancestral Ways, Modern Selves explores a possible theoretical model for discussing the religious nature of urbanized Indians. It uses aspects of contemporary pantribal practices such as the inter-tribal pow wow, substance abuse recovery programs such as the Wellbriety Movement, and political involvement to provide insights into contemporary Native religious identity. Simply put, this book addresses the question what does it mean to be an Indigenous American in the 21st century, and how does one express that indigeneity religiously? It proposes that practices and ideologies appropriate to the pan-Indian context provide much of the foundation for maintaining a sense of aboriginal spiritual identity within modernity. Individuals and families who identify themselves as Native American can participate in activities associated with a broad network of other Native people, in effect performing their Indian identity and enacting the values that are connected to that identity.

    Abstract: Eine Geschichte von Flucht und Vertreibung - und von den Schwierigkeiten der Integration. 1949 bezogen zwanzig donauschwäbische Familien aus dem Dorf Brestowatz in der Batschka im heutigen Serbien eine Barackensiedlung im hessischen Obersuhl. Die Familien waren 1944 vor der heranrückenden Sowjetarmee geflohen und fanden hier eine vorläufige Bleibe. Obwohl sie sich selbst als Deutsche verstanden, kamen sie nach Deutschland in die Fremde. Abgeschottet von ihrer Umgebung ließen sie ihre mitgebrachte Lebensweise wieder aufleben. In dieser Brestowatzer Welt in Obersuhl wuchs Rosemarie Bovier von ihrem 3. bis zu ihrem 12. Lebensjahr auf. Im Spannungsfeld zwischen der Heimat der Familie (derhom) und dem neuen Zuhause (dohaus), zwischen den Erzählungen der Bewohner und den Erfahrungen außerhalb der Siedlung erzählt die Autorin ihre Geschichte der Integration. Sie berichtet von einer Heimat, die sie selbst nur aus zweiter Hand kennenlernt, und von einer verdrängten Wahrheit: Nach und nach wird sichtbar, dass die enge Verstrickung vieler Brestowatzer mit dem NS-Regime und die Täterschaft des eigenen Vaters als SS-Mann in dieser erzählten Heimat unterschlagen wurden.   Biographische Informationen Rosemarie Bovier wurde 1947 in Obersuhl (Hessen) geboren. Nach dem Studium der Germanistik und Geografie in Frankfurt am Main unterrichtete sie an Gymnasien in Bad Hersfeld, Wolfenbüttel und Wolfsburg. Daneben war sie als Fachberaterin bei der Bezirksregierung in Braunschweig tätig. Heute lebt sie in Wolfenbüttel.

    Abstract: He was a friend of James Joyce, Pablo Picasso, e.e. cummings, John Dos Passos, Irving Berlin, and F. Scott Fitzgerald--and the enemy of Ezra Pound, H.L. Mencken, and Ernest Hemingway. He was so influential a critic that Edmund Wilson declared that he had played a leading role in the "liquidation of genteel culture in America." Yet today many students of American culture would not recognize his name. He was Gilbert Seldes, and in this brilliant biographical study, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Michael Kammen recreates a singularly American life of letters. Equally important, Kammen uses Seldes's life as a lens through which to bring into sharp focus the dramatic shifts in American culture that occurred in the half-century after World War I. Born in 1893, Seldes saw in his lifetime an astonishing series of innovations in popular and mass culture: silent films and talkies, the phonograph and the radio, the coming of television, and the proliferation of journalism aimed at mainstream America in such venues as Vanity Fair, The Saturday Evening Post, and Esquire. (His monthly column in Esquire was called "The Lively Arts.") Seldes was more than a witness to these changes, however; he was the leading champion of popular culture in his time, and a skilled practitioner as well. Kammen, the first scholar to enjoy access to Seldes's unpublished papers, illuminates his immense influence as the earliest cultural critic to insist that the lively arts--vaudeville, musical revues, film, jazz, and the comics--should be taken just as seriously as grand opera, the legitimate theatre, and other manifestations of high culture. As he traces Seldes's remarkable evolution from an acknowledged aesthete and highbrow to a cultural democrat with a passion for the popular arts, Kammen recaptures the critic's prescience, wit, and generosity for a newly expanded audience.
    Abstract: We witness Seldes's triumphs and travails as managing editor of The Dial, the most influential literary magazine of its time, and read of New York's endlessly feuding publications and literary rivalries. Kammen offers wonderfully detailed accounts of The Dial's introduction of "The Wasteland" in its November 1922 issue; Seldes's review of Ulysses for The Nation, one of the first (if not the very first) to appear in the U.S.; and the complete story of the writing, publication, and critical reception of The Seven Lively Arts, Seldes's most influential book. And Kammen also covers Seldes's astonishingly versatile later career as a freelance writer (on every conceivable subject), historian, novelist, playwright, filmmaker, radio scriptwriter, the first program director for CBS Television, and the founding dean of the Annenberg School of Communications at the University of Pennsylvania. One of popular culture's earliest and most eloquent champions, Seldes was nonetheless publicly worried as early as 1937 that the popularity of radio, film, and television would mean the demise of the "private art of reading." By 1957 he was warning that "with the shift of all entertainment into the area of big business, we are being engulfed into a mass-produced mediocrity." At a time when many thoughtful Americans despair of popular culture, The Lively Arts revisits the opening salvos in the ongoing debate over "democratization" versus "dumbing down" of the arts. It offers a penetrating and timely analysis of Gilbert Seldes's pioneering conviction that the popular and the great arts must not only co-exist but enrich one another if we are to realize the innovation and intensity of American culture at its best.

    Abstract: Dans ce troisième tome de la collection 'Des choses de la vie', la psychanalyste Diane Drory pose un regard perspicace sur les relations parfois chahutées entre frères et soeurs ainsi que sur les rapports souvent difficiles des parents avec leurs enfants et ados. Chamboulée par les nouvelles technologies, le règne de l'enfant-roi et la banalisation des divorces, la famille d'aujourd'hui est paradoxalement l'endroit où la vie est supposée se dérouler dans le luxe, le calme et la volupté, comme dans une pub. Les batailles rangées, les jalousies, les colères et les crises n'auraient-elles donc pas de valeur ajoutée? Les trente récits relatés avec humour et délicatesse dans ce livre proposent à chacun de revisiter les aspérités de sa famille et de la rendre plus passionnante encore. « On ne choisit pas ses parents, on ne choisit pas sa famille. On ne se choisit même pas soi-même » Philippe Geluck.

    Abstract: This book represents the coming together of two key debates within organization studies: theorizing on gender and ways of understanding resistance. These debates have been given renewed vigour with the 'postmodern turn' in organization studies and feminist theory. Fusing these two literatures together offers a far deeper understanding of the issues of power, subjectivity and agency. Representing a growing interest in the contributions that feminist theorizing can offer to the study of organizations, this book focuses on issues of gender and resistance in organizations and, in particular, presents theorising which attends to the dualistic debate of compliance versus resistance to offer more generative understandings of reistance.

    Abstract: Challenging monolithic approaches to culture and literacy, this book looks at the roots of African-American reading and writing from the perspective of vernacular activities and creolization. It shows that African-Americans, while readily mastering the conventions and canons of Euro-America,also drew on knowledge of their own to make an oppositional repertoire of signs and meanings. Distinct from conventional script literacy on the one hand, and oral culture on the other, these "creolized" vernacular practices include writing in charms, use of personal or nondecodable scripts, thestrategic renunciation of reading and writing as communicative tools, and writing that is linked to divination, trance, and possession. Based on extensive ethnographic research in the Southeastern United States and the West Indies, Gundaker offers a complex portrait of the intersection of "outsider"conventions with "insider" knowledge and practice.

    Abstract: Cet ouvrage lève le voile sur les terribles forces qui hantent les profondeurs de l'esprit humain. Le cannibalisme ! Un terme dont la simple évocation entraîne, chez nous, un frisson de dégoût, un sentiment d'écœurement, tant cette notion nous semble horrible, tant elle nous paraît abjecte… en même temps qu'elle nous fascine. Sans aucune censure, cependant, ce livre déconcertant traite, avec un luxe inouï de détails et d'anecdotes, mais aussi avec le plus grand sérieux, d'un sujet qui s'intéresse à l'un des interdits les plus fondamentaux pour l'espèce humaine : celui de manger son semblable. L'auteur étudie le phénomène sous une multitude de facettes. Il examine le cannibalisme culturel et religieux, considéré comme normal, nécessaire, et faisant partie de la vie de certaines sociétés traditionnelles. Il évoque le cannibalisme lié à des conditions exceptionnelles, lorsque des malheureux furent obligés de manger leurs compagnons parce qu'ils n'avaient d'autre espoir de survivre. Il nous entraîne encore dans des affaires criminelles tristement célèbres et tellement perturbantes pour notre entendement. Car, comment admettre, en effet, que, dans nos sociétés contemporaines, d'incroyables pulsions animales puissent pousser certains à consommer de la chair humaine. Cet ouvrage nous présente une série de situations et de récits qui bouleverseront à jamais notre perception de l'Homme. Un livre d'Histoire et d'histoires vraies à vous donner froid dans le dos… EXTRAIT :  Nourrir les dieux et pratiquer la magie Lorsque Cortés et son armée atteignirent Mexico au début du XVIe siècle, ils découvrirent une culture basée sur le cannibalisme et le sacrifice humain à grande échelle. Les fondateurs aztèques de cette culture n'étaient installés que depuis quelques siècles et leur religion remarquablement élaborée s'était créée petit à petit durant cette période.
    Abstract: Ils empruntèrent des dieux aux autres tribus, les ajoutant à leur propre panthéon, et en créèrent de nouveau pour combler certains manques évidents. Au moment où Cortès arriva, ils avaient « tellement de dieux que même les peuples voisins n'étaient pas capables de les énumérer ». (cf. Tannahill) Les Aztèques voulaient garder les dieux de leur côté, et ce à n'importe quel prix. Cela devait finir par poser problème. Les Aztèques étaient déjà à leur cinquième monde et étaient déterminés à ce qu'il ne finisse pas comme les quatre précédents. Ils se battraient de toutes leurs forces pour que le soleil continue sa course et que les monstres de l'aube restent à distance. Le soleil avait été créé par le sacrifice d'un dieu (il s'était jeté dans un brasier) et mis en mouvement par le sang et les cœurs d'autres dieux. Il semblait donc juste, pour ne pas dire logique, que les humains pratiquent leurs propres sacrifices pour que le monde continue à fonctionner. Et puisque les hommes peuvent devenir nerveux quand leurs chefs commencent à les tuer en grand nombre, les cœurs et le sang devaient en grande partie provenir d'étrangers. Pour permettre cela, les Aztèques entretenaient un état plus ou moins permanent de guerre, durant lequel il était mieux vu de faire des prisonniers que de tuer les ennemis. Pendant 200 ans, les armées aztèques ont parcouru l'Amérique centrale à la recherche de victimes étrangères.

    Abstract: 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.

    Series Statement: Studies in Curriculum Theory Series
    DDC: 375.001
    Abstract: 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.

    Series Statement: Routledge Studies in Anthropology v.17
    DDC: 304.23
    Abstract: 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.

    Abstract: 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.

    Abstract: This volume is in part intended to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. We are now a generation on from its formulation, and, as this varied collection of articles by leading thinkers in the field reflects, children's rights have come a long way. Yet the aim of this volume is not to look back, but to take stock and look forward. It explores subjects as diverse as socio-economic rights, corporal punishment, language and scientific progress as they relate to children and their rights, and offers new insights and new ideas. Edited by one of the most respected and leading scholars in the field, The Future of Children's Rights constitutes a stimulating and useful resource for academics and practitioners alike.

    Abstract: In 1949 the German constitution set down the entitlement to equality for men and women in the Federal Republic of Germany in article 3. Until the late 1950s it was up to men to decide where to live and how to utilise families' assets. Women were not permitted to decide on their participation in the labour market but had the duty to administer the household and help their husbands. When Angela Merkel became chancellor of Germany in 2005, she was not only one of the most influential politicians in the world but also one of the few female leaders who managed to break through the glass ceiling. Chancellor Merkel herself blocked Minister of Employment, Ursula von der Leyen's attempt towards affirmative action. As a matter of fact Germany is lagging behind when it comes to women in leading positions. In 2010, only 0,9% of the leadership positions in the 100 largest German companies and 2,6% in the top 200 companies were held by women. (Holst & Wiemer, 2010) This is in stark contrast to the fact that at team-leader level in German companies, women represent 20% of the staff after representing almost 60% of university graduates. This underrepresentation, which illustrates the topic of this study, is especially difficult to understand since recent studies have shown a positive correlation between the proportion of women in management positions and companies' performance, which made approximately 10% more in terms of profits with a balanced gender policy (Wiemer, 2010). As a consequence, Germany is facing a discussion on the introduction of a women's quota for management positions in German companies. Currently there is a great debate going on concerning the pros and cons of a women's quota.   Auszug aus dem Text Text sample: Kapitel 3.1, Transactional versus Transformational Leadership: Famous sociologists like Max Weber, Bernard Bass or McGregor Burns...
    Abstract: have done the most important research on transformation leadership. Burns advanced this theory mainly from descriptive research on political leaders and juxtaposes transformational leadership with transactional leadership. In Burns' opinion, leaders are not born nor made, but evolve from a structure of motivation, values and goals. In order to relate to the concept one must understand the essential differences between transactional and transformational leadership. The basis for leadership is the relationship between two people, which again is maintained by the level of exchange between both. The greater the exchange between two individuals, of any kind - materialistic or non-materialistic, the stronger the relationship. (Stewart, 2006) The transactional relation is based on requirements, conditions and rewards for efforts. (Bass, 2006) For instance, if employees deliver good work they get a generous bonus in return. Leaders leading in this manner are called transactional leaders. Accordingly managers know about the connection between the effort shown and reward given as well as use the standard measures of incentive, reward, punishment and sanction in order to control subordinates. These managers promise rewards for good performance and look out for unconventionalities from rules and standards applying corrective actions when necessary. Moreover, this style is more oriented to the present, only dealing with current issues. (Bass, 2006) To put it in a nutshell, the transactional motivation is done by setting goals and promising rewards for the expected performance. 'Transactional leadership is a prescription for mediocrity (…) intervening with his or her group only when procedures and standards for accomplishing tasks are not being met - If it ain't broken, don't fix it.' (Bass, 2006, p. 20) A manager with this behaviour pattern uses disciplinary
    Abstract: threats to get employees to perform, which is ineffective and in the long term counterproductive. According to Eagly, men are more likely to be transactional leaders. Her findings suggest that male managers being transactional leaders paid attention to their follower's problems and mistakes, waited until problems became severe before attempting to solve them and were absent and uninvolved at critical time. (Eagly & Johannesen-Schmidt, 2001) How these findings come along with transformational and female leaders will be discussed in the following passages. Transformational leaders on the other hand are simply described by unconditional, dedicated and committed. They rather use empowerment than control strategies achieving influence over their employees. Transformational leaders influence major transformations in the attitudes and conventions of organisation members and build commitment for the companies mission, objectives and strategies. This kind of leadership can be observed on the micro level - relationships between individual; as well as the macro level - intention to change social systems and reform organisations. Those leaders also value ideals and morals such as liberty, justice, equality, peace and humanitarianism. (Yukl, 1989) The irony is that this leadership style is metaphorically explained with a mother and her unconditional care for her kids. Related to working environment Hay describes the style as follows: '(…) Occurs when leaders broaden and elevate the interest of their employees, when they generate awareness and acceptance of the purpose and mission of the group (…) transformational leaders elevate people from low levels of need, focused on survival to higher levels (…) engender trust, admiration, loyalty and respect amongst their followers.' (Hay, 2011, p. 3) Transformational leaders are determined to reach a certain mutual goal
    Abstract: and are an inspiration to their followers. This leadership kind also likes to develop employees, provide encouragement and takes over a mentoring task in order to promote individual growth opportunity. Following Bass: leaders transform followers making them more aware of the importance of their work and by encouraging them to surpass self-interest for the sake of the organisation. (Bass, 2006) 'Transformational leaders recognise and exploit an existing need to demand of a potential follower and look for potential motives in followers, seek to satisfy higher needs and engages the full person of the follower.' (MacGregor Burns, 2003, p. 28) Empirical data by Bass confirmed that there are four common dimensions of transformational leadership. The first stage is: 1) Idealised Influence - The leader inspires subordinates with charismatic visions and behaviour. 2) Inspirational Motivation - The leader's ability to encourage others as well as to commit to the company's vision and follow a new idea. They encourage staff to become part of the organisation and ist culture. Followers grow trust and respect towards the leader. 3) Intellectual Stimulation - The leader's capacity to inspire and encourage staff's innovation and creativity and see meaning in their work & accomplishments. 4) Individualised Consideration - The leader's skill in coaching subordinates and understanding their specific needs and talent. This also ensures that all followers are included in transformational organisational processes.   Biographische Informationen Judith Zylla-Woellner was born in Eisenhuettenstadt/Germany in 1981.

    Abstract: Kinder, Jugendliche und Erwachsene haben ein allgemeines Bedürfnis nach Affiliation, nach sozialem Kontakt zu anderen. Sie streben danach, sich anderen anzuschließen und verbringen einen erheblichen Teil ihres Lebens in der Gesellschaft anderer Menschen. Dies geht wohl größtenteils darauf zurück, dass der gegenseitige Zusammenhalt in unserer evolutionären Vergangenheit die Überlebenschancen verbessert hat. Ein Mangel an Affiliation kann Einsamkeit, Depression und ein geringes Selbstwertgefühl zur Folge haben. Gerade in schwierigen Situationen sucht man nach Nähe, Trost und Unterstützung. Dieses Bindungsverhalten ist bereits im Säuglingsalter beobachtbar. Die Aufnahme von Freundschaften stellt eine Entwicklungsaufgabe im Jugendalter dar und gehört bereits im Kindesalter zu den zentralen Aspekten einer gesunden Entwicklung. Welche Bedeutung hat Freundschaft für Kinder und Jugendliche? Was sind die Effekte von Freundschaften in diesem Alter? Wie entstehen Freundschaften? Was beinhalten Freundschaftsbeziehungen? Was sind die Gründe für das Fehlen von Freundschaften und was die Auswirkungen davon? Wie zeigen sich geschlechtsspezifische Unterschiede in Freundschaften?   Auszug aus dem Text Textprobe: Kapitel 3.3, Kontaktstrategien: Außer den oben erwähnten Selektionsmerkmalen sind auch individuelle innere Bedingungen an der Entstehung von Freundschaftsbeziehungen beteiligt. Neben einem allgemeinen Anschlussmotiv, der Affiliation, wie sie in der Einleitung bereits beschrieben wurde, also dem Motiv den Kontakt und den Umgang mit anderen zu suchen, existiert auch noch eine interpersonale Orientierung, die für die Aufrechterhaltung einer Freundschaft sorgt. Die interpersonale Orientierung beschreibt eine Haltung, die sich weniger nach den äußerlichen Faktoren wie der räumlichen Nähe oder der ethnischen Herkunft richtet, sondern an der Persönlichkeit des...
    Abstract: einzelnen Menschen interessiert ist. So kommen enge Beziehungen leichter und schneller zustande, wenn beide Partner eine starke interpersonale Orientierung besitzen (vgl. Wagner 1994, S. 58). Im Folgenden werden die individuellen Voraussetzungen für Kontaktaufnahmen, die Bedeutung des Umfeldes dabei sowie die unterschiedlichen Kontaktaufnahmestrategien im Kindes- und Jugendalter vorgestellt. 3.3.1, Individuelle Voraussetzungen: Kinder und Jugendliche, die mehr Erfahrungen mit Gleichaltrigen sammeln konnten, haben es leichter beim Anknüpfen von sozialen Beziehungen. Sie unternehmen häufiger etwas mit anderen zusammen und sind weniger oft allein als Kinder und Jugendliche mit geringeren sozialen Erfahrungen. Von besonderer Bedeutung für die soziale Entwicklung des Kindes ist die Beziehung zu den Eltern. Vor allem die Beziehung zur Mutter hat nachhaltigen Einfluss auf alle weiteren Beziehungen des Kindes (vgl. Wagner 1994, S. 60). Die Art der Mutterbeziehung, welche am Ende des ersten Lebensjahres feststellbar ist, kann sich in einer unsicheren oder sicheren Bindung ausdrücken. Erlebt ein Kind durch die Mutter oder eine andere wichtige Bezugsperson effektiven Trost und emotionale Regulation, so lernt es sich rasch zu beruhigen und wieder der Außenwelt zuzuwenden. Eine sichere Bindung ermöglicht es dem Kind seine räumliche und soziale Umgebung zu erkunden. Es besteht ein relativ enger Zusammenhang zwischen einer sicheren Mutterbindung und dem Umfang an Erfahrungen mit Gleichaltrigen, denn die aus dem Umgang mit der Mutter gewonnenen positiven Erwartungen an die soziale Umwelt erleichtern die Aufnahme von Kontakten zu anderen Kindern. Eine sichere Bindungsqualität ist durch die direkte Kommunikation von Gefühlen, vor allem bei Kummer, gegenüber Vertrauten gekennzeichnet. Kinder, die eine unsichere Bindung erfahren haben, sind eher zurückhaltend und
    Abstract: passiv, sie erfahren weniger Zuwendung und Beachtung von anderen. Wohingegen sicher gebundene Kinder attraktivere Spielpartner sind, dementsprechend mehr positive Zuwendung bekommen und kaum Feindseligkeiten erfahren. Die Art der Mutterbindung gibt also Auskunft über die Bereitschaft, Kontakte zu anderen Kindern aufzunehmen sowie über die Wahrscheinlichkeit von anderen akzeptiert oder abgelehnt zu werden. Aber ob sicher gebundene Kinder wirklich mehr Freunde haben als unsicher gebundene Kinder und ob ihre Freundschaften länger und konfliktfreier andauern, ist nicht klar (vgl. Wagner 1994, S. 61). Das Verhältnis der Eltern zum Kind ist auch außerhalb der Bindungsforschung in Beziehung gesetzt worden. Es stellte sich heraus, dass Kinder, deren Mütter länger mit ihnen zusammen spielten, häufiger Kontakt zu Gleichaltrigen aufnahmen als andere und dass Söhne, deren Mütter sich öfter mit ihnen unterhielten, hilfsbereiter gegenüber ihren Spielkameraden waren, während Söhne von direktiven, bestimmenden Vätern weniger kommunizierten. Aufgrund der individuellen Erfahrungen mit ihren Eltern haben es Kinder und Jugendliche leichter oder schwerer den Kontakt zu Gleichaltrigen aufzunehmen und mit ihnen auszukommen. Die bisherigen Ansätze der Forschung beschränkten sich allerdings auf Momentaufnahmen sowie der einseitigen Betrachtungsweise, dass Freundschaft nur durch den Wunsch und die Hilfe der sozialen Fähigkeiten eines Kindes oder Jugendlichen entstünde. Die Bedürfnisse, Merkmale und Verhaltensweisen des anderen Partners und die Sichtweise beider Partner wurden nicht berücksichtigt. Hinzu kommt, dass je nach Alter und Entwicklungsstand, wie auch die Untersuchung von Valtin es zeigt, die Merkmale des Partners unterschiedlich attraktiv wahrgenommen werden. Ein bestimmtes Kind ist für ein jüngeres Kind attraktiv, weil es ein tolles Spielzeug besitzt, während
    Abstract: für ein älteres Kind dasselbe Kind aufgrund gewisser Persönlichkeitsmerkmale als Freund in Frage kommt. Die Kinder und Jugendliche benötigen soziale Fertigkeiten, um Freundschaften anzubahnen und zu erhalten. Soziale Fertigkeiten sind Kompetenzen wie sich 'zu Gruppenaktivitäten Zugang verschaffen zu können, Gleichaltrigen zuzustimmen und ihnen zu helfen, Konflikte angemessen zu handhaben und Sensibilität und Taktgefühl walten zu lassen' (Rubin 1981, S. 46). Diese subtilen Fertigkeiten werden mit der sozialen Entwicklung erworben, was nicht einfach ist. Weiterhin zählen zu den sozialen Fertigkeiten auch die, die einen Freund ausmachen, nämlich ein aufmerksamer und hilfreicher Partner zu sein, der Anerkennung zeigt. Hartup et al. stellten fest, dass Kinder, die anderen Kindern viel Aufmerksamkeit schenken, Lob spenden, Zuneigung zeigen und bereitwillig auf die Wünsche der Spielpartner eingehen, sehr beliebt sind. Während Kinder, die andere oft ignorieren, Kooperation verweigern, andere tadeln, lächerlich machen oder gar bedrohen, am ehesten abgelehnt werden. Will man akzeptiert und aufgenommen werden, muss man seinerseits offen für andere sein und andere akzeptieren (auch wenn freundliches Verhalten nicht immer eine Freundschaft nach sich zieht) (vgl. Rubin 1981, S. 50). Die Art und Häufigkeit der Beziehungen eines Kindes oder Jugendlichen werden anscheinend von seiner interpersonalen Orientierung beeinflusst, von seinen Erfahrungen, von der Art seiner Mutterbindung, von der Beziehung zu seinen Eltern, von seinen sozialen Bedürfnissen sowie von der Art seiner Erklärungen für das Verhalten von anderen ihm gegenüber (vgl. Wagner 1994, S. 63). Ob ein Kind oder Jugendlicher zum Beispiel eine Zurückweisung eines anderen leicht oder schwer verkraftet, hängt davon ab, wie es oder er sich diese Zurückweisung selbst erklärt. Die Zurückweisung kann von
    Abstract: inneren Faktoren, wie persönlichen Unzulänglichkeiten, abhängig gemacht werden oder von äußeren Faktoren, wie Missverständnissen oder einer schlechten Laune des Gegenübers. Obwohl den sozialen Erfahrungen mit Gleichaltrigen viel Bedeutung beigemessen wird, sind Untersuchungen über ihren Einfluss auf die späteren Sozialbeziehungen selten. Die Erfahrungen mit Gleichaltrigen scheinen aber die Kontaktaufnahme zu fremden Kindern und Jugendlichen zu erleichtern, außerdem werden die Kommunikationsfähigkeit und die Interaktivität gefördert.   Biographische Informationen Nicole Waldheim, geb.

    Abstract: In this paper, I argue that linguistics is a historical science in more than one sense: Not only is the object, language, embedded in time, but so is the study of it. This has consequences for our conception of language change. A central result of previous sociolinguistic analyses of spoken Copenhagen Danish, starting with Brink & Lund 1975, is that during the latter half of the 19th century the common European low back vowel (a) was differentiated in the Copenhagen speech community into at least four different vowel qualities all of them bearing both linguistic and sociolinguistic information. I present evidence from an unbroken chain of Copenhagen informants ranging from birth years 1905 until 1962-71. Various sections of this sample have been studied by different researchers using auditory classification of variants, and the total sample has been coded once more by the LANCHART centre. The analysis shows that auditory coding reveals the same patterns of differences between sociologically characterized groups but the relative figures classified as belonging to the various variants diverge quite dramatically and seem to be dependent on the age of the coder and the point in time at which the coding takes place. I suggest explanations for these facts and discuss whether this is a problem for the validity of sociolinguistic research or perhaps an inescapable condition for research within the language sciences.

    Abstract: Throughout time, artists have maintained a close relationship with the animal world, which has proved to be an inexhaustible source of inspiration. First, they received inspiration directly from their environment. Next, animals were used in art for their status as domestic friends, symbols of an intimate and familial life, held in particularly high esteem during the Renaissance. Later, in Orientalism, animal art followed the discovery of exotic fauna which appealed to contemporary artists. The animal and its wild beauty are depicted here through works of art from Albrecht Dürer, Pieter Bruegel, Leonardo da Vinci, Katsushika Hokusai, Henri Rousseau, and Paul Klee.

    Abstract: 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...
    Abstract: 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
    Abstract: 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
    Abstract: 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
    Abstract: 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

    Abstract: Die jüngsten Beispiele von Gesetzesverstößen in der deutschen Wirtschaft und die entsprechende Ahndung durch staatliche Aufsichtsbehörden sowie durch die Berichterstattung der Medien zeigen, dass Gesetzestreue - Compliance - von hohem Stellenwert und aktueller Brisanz ist. Durch die Berichterstattung in den traditionellen wie auch in den Neuen Medien und die entsprechend schnellere Informationsverarbeitung erfährt die Öffentlichkeit zum einen zügiger und erhält zum anderen detaillierter Informationen über Gesetzesverstöße.Wertorientierte Unternehmensführung und -steuerung hingegen kristallisiert sich als immer bedeutender für große wie auch mittelständische Unternehmen heraus.Das vorliegende Buch behandelt vor dem Hintergrund der Corporate Compliance Problematik die Frage, welche mögliche Auswirkung sowohl die Nichtbeachtung von Recht und Gesetz als auch die Einhaltung von geltendem Recht auf den Wert eines Unternehmens hat. Daraus ergibt sich im Zusammenhang mit vorhergehenden Ausführungen die Fragestellung, ob Corporate Compliance als Teilelement wertorientierter Unternehmenssteuerung anzusehen ist. Auszug aus dem TextTextprobe:Kapitel 2.3.3.1, Organisatorische Eingliederung und Aufgaben eines Compliance Bereichs:Eine Compliance Struktur ist Bestandteil einer Compliance Organisation. Die Verantwortung für eine Compliance Struktur liegt bei der Unternehmensleitung. Je nach Größe und Komplexität des Unternehmens wird ableitend die organisatorische Struktur eines Compliance Bereichs bestimmt und entsprechende Zuständigkeiten delegiert.Ausgangspunkt für die Errichtung einer Compliance Struktur und erste Überlegungen diesbezüglich liegen in der Rechtsabteilung. Als Teil der Compliance Struktur gilt zudem, zumindest für große Unternehmen, eine interne Revision.Ein Compliance Officer (auch als Compliance Beauftragter oder Compliance Manager...
    Abstract: bezeichnet) wird - meist in Form einer Stabsfunktion unabhängig von der Rechtsabteilung - benannt als 'Informationssammelstelle' und stellt im Ergebnis den verlängerten Arm der Unternehmensleitung dar. Diese Funktion kann in größeren Unternehmen auch von einem Compliance Office wahrgenommen werden. Durch Einrichtung einer Stabsfunktion wird der Berichtsweg an die Geschäftsleitung klar definiert. Die Zusammenarbeit mit anderen unternehmensinternen Abteilungen, wie z. B. der Revision oder dem Controlling ist von Bedeutung im Zusammenhang mit dem Aufbau einer Compliance Struktur. Darüber hinaus kann ein sogenanntes Compliance Committee im Unternehmen gebildet werden, dessen Zusammensetzung variieren und aus dem Compliance Officer, Mitgliedern der Unternehmensleitung und beispielsweise Mitarbeitern der Rechtsabteilung, der operativen Unternehmensbereiche oder der Revision bestehen kann. Neben diesen Verortungsmöglichkeiten eines Compliance Bereichs besteht die Alternative der Einbindung externer Compliance Berater. Der Compliance Bereich kann - falls eine größere Organisation damit verbunden ist - zentral oder dezentral organisiert werden.Ein Compliance Bereich ist mit vielfältigen Aufgaben betraut. Zum einen sorgt eine solche Compliance Struktur dafür, dass die Unternehmensleitung bei der Durchsetzung und Überwachung der Corporate Compliance beraten und unterstützt wird. Hierbei gilt, eine Compliance Organisation zu implementieren, zu dokumentieren und weiterzuentwickeln. Außerdem unterstützt die Compliance Organisation die Geschäftsleitung bei der Information und Training aller Unternehmensangehörigen hinsichtlich Compliance. Zeitgerechte Ad- hoc- Berichterstattung an die Geschäftsführung über wesentliche Veränderungen der rechtlichen Situation im Unternehmen, Feststellung und Untersuchung von schwerwiegenden Verletzungen der Compliance und
    Abstract: entsprechende Aufklärung bilden weitere Komponenten des Aufgabenbereichs. Des Weiteren hat die Compliance Organisation die Aufgabe, die Einhaltung der Compliance Vorgaben zu überwachen und durchzusetzen. Ein Compliance Bereich steht auch intern als Kontaktpartner in Compliance Fragen zur Verfügung und stellt den ersten Ansprechpartner für externe Interessenten in Compliance relevanten Fragestellungen dar.Die Erfüllung der immer größer werdenden Anzahl von internen und externen Anforderungen an ein Unternehmen muss durch geeignete Maßnahmen sichergestellt werden. Das folgende Kapitel geht dabei auf eine Auswahl der wesentlichen Instrumente einer sogenannten Compliance Organisation ein, die von Unternehmen und dem entsprechenden Compliance Bereich eingesetzt werden können, um Corporate Compliance im Unternehmen zu etablieren. Biographische InformationenTina Mußtopf, MBA wurde 1987 in Schkeuditz geboren.

    Abstract: Frauen werden in Printmedien unterschiedlich dargestellt und abgebildet. Dieses Buch vergleicht drei Frauenzeitschriften im Hinblick auf die Darstellung und Ästhetik von Frauenbildern. Die untersuchten Zeitschriften („Elle", „Freundin" und „Frau im Trend") sprechen unterschiedliche soziale Schichten an und erlauben so einen vertikalen Milieuvergleich.Die Klassifizierung und Analyse des Bildmaterials erfolgt aus soziologischer Sichtweise mittels eines eigens entwickelten Kriterienkataloges. So können acht verschiedene Bildtypen herausgearbeitet werden. Die Untersuchung zeigt, inwiefern weibliche Schönheit, Ästhetik und Fotografie in den drei an Bourdieu angelehnten Schichten unterschiedlich ausgeformt wird und welche Ursachen der unterschiedlichen Ausformung unterliegen. Auszug aus dem TextTextprobe:Kapitel 2.1.6.1, Schönheit = Begehrt sein:Schöne Frauen, und Männer, wecken (sexuelles) Begehren, weil sie so schön sind. Weil sie etwas Besonderes sind. Wir alle möchten Schönes und Besonderes um uns haben. Schöne Partner sind eine Zierde und ein Schmuck für den anderen und lassen ihn ein wenig an der Schönheit teilhaben.Beim Rational Choice Ansatz ist sie ein mögliches Attribut, was beispielsweise Armut ausgleichen kann. (Reicher, eventuell auch alter, nicht schöner Mann heiratet junge, schöne, aber arme Frau.) Dieses Schema wird traditionell in den Märchen verschiedener Epochen und Kulturen verwendet und findet sich noch heute in einer Vielzahl Liebesfilme wieder ('Pretty Woman'). Die, die begehrt werden befinden sich in der 'strukturell schwächeren Objektrolle'. Das heißt, das 'Gut', welches die strukturell schwächeren mitbringen ist immer auch Schönheit. Die strukturell Stärkeren brauchen diese 'Krücke' nicht, da sie andere Güter besitzen, begehren aber die strukturell schwächeren Personen ob ihrer Schönheit.2.1.6.2, Schönheit macht Schweres...
    Abstract: leicht:Ob nun im Berufsleben oder als Retterin in der Not, gutes Aussehen hilft oftmals weiter. Wie bereits oben genannt, erleichtert Schönheit den sozialen Aufstieg, in dem es als eine Art Gut in der Sozialökonomie eingesetzt werden kann, sie ist gewissermaßen die Ware, um die gefeilscht wird.2.1.6.3, Schönheit als Verwindung des Schweren:Das Ergebnis, die Schönheit, lässt vergessen, was alles nötig war und ist, um sie zu erreichen (Diäten, Operationen, Sport...). Sie entschädigt quasi für die Mühen, die zum Erreichen derselben notwendig waren.2.1.6.4,Schönheit als Versuchung zu Hochmut und Kälte:Schönheit hat nicht nur Vorteile. Die - erstaunlich vielen - Nachteile vor allem der ganz besonders Schönen sollen nicht unerwähnt bleiben.In Märchen kommen nicht nur die strukturell schwächeren und 'guten' Schönen vor, sondern es gibt stets eine negative 'Gegenkraft', oft in Form von Stiefmüttern oder Hexen. Diese 'bösen' Frauen werden manchmal als abstoßend hässlich, oder aber als kühle, um nicht zu sagen kalte, und wunderschöne Frauen dargestellt (Eiskönigin). Gefühlskalt, asozial, grausam, herrschsüchtig, neidisch und missgünstig lauten die wenig schmeichelhaften Attribute. Gut aussehende Frauen genießen die oben genannten Vorteile der Schönheit und werden sogar oft besser eingeschätzt, als sie tatsächlich sind; bei den extrem schönen Frauen kehrt sich vieles davon ins Negative um. So haben sie es aufgrund von Neid und Eifersucht schwer, Freundschaften mit Frauen zu schließen und zu erhalten, aber mit Männern ist es auch prekär. Die Frauen haben das Gefühl, nur wegen ihres Aussehens begehrt und nicht um ihrer selbst willen geliebt zu werden. Ebenso ist es mit beruflichem Erfolg, er wird von Dritten oft nur dem Aussehen der Frau zugesprochen, nicht ihrer Kompetenz. Zumal besonders den schönen Frauen eher unterdurchschnittliche Intelligenz nachgesagt
    Abstract: wird. Wenn die Beauties altern und ihre Schönheit trotz Gegenmaßnahmen irgendwann nachlässt, kann ein regelrechter Zusammenbruch des sozialen Umfeldes erfolgen. Denn dieses war nur auf deren gutes Aussehen gerichtet, und nicht auf ihre Persönlichkeit.'Gerade das gute Aussehen entwertet so alle persönlichen und alle professionellen Erfolge'(Reinhart 2011: 90). Biographische InformationenMaria Theresa Manitz wurde 1983 in Meißen geboren.

    Abstract: This book is about the Basel Mission in the Gold Coast (now Ghana) before the First World War. Miller reconstructs the backgrounds and motivations of the mission's participants and describes the organizational structure that shaped their activities at home and abroad. He then traces some serious and recurrent internal problems to the commitment to difficult Pietist beliefs about authority and obedience. The organization survived those troubles and its impact on Ghana continued to grow, because the same biblical worldview that demanded extreme discipline also prepared the members of the mission community to sustain their efforts.

    Abstract: Manufacturing companies including a local micro-enterprise - Quality Postform Ltd are persistently facing competitive pressures as a consequence of customers demanding higher quality products. The emergence of Quality Management has been attributed by many researchers and Quality Gurus including Phil Crosby as a strategic imperative for typical organisations to survive within a highly competitive environment. Nevertheless, research carried out throughout the past years is relatively restricted regarding the practicality of micro-manufacturing firms in implementing Crosby's Quality Improvement Programme, which is claimed to be highly beneficial in typical situations. This dissertation seeks to investigate this scenario from both a descriptive and critical perspective towards Quality Postform Ltd. The research provides a critical evaluation of the academic contributions towards the quality management concept. Distinct disputed viewpoints have been identified focusing on Crosby's 14-Step Quality Improvement Programme. From one end of the spectrum, supporters uphold that claimed benefits have been acknowledged. Alternatively, others sustain that in essence a Quality Improvement Programme is counter-productive in terms of its application within Small and Medium sized Enterprises. However the researcher has identified four key pre-requisites in order for micro-firms to effectively implement Crosby's programme. These include: management commitment, the acknowledgement of a quality problem, the organisation's readiness to embrace change together with the suppliers' readiness to support the quality programme. The methodology applied to assess the presence of these four pre-requisites at QPL was to compile primary, qualitative data through one-to-one / face-to-face interviews with key management officials. This approach is justified due to the absence of...
    Abstract: formalised documentation and as a result, it is imperative to assess that historical data on Quality Systems is seriously lacking at QPL. The field research outcome reveals that QPL's management is experiencing serious doubts regarding the feasibility and practicality of the program's implementation within a micro-manufacturing firm. This is the case primarily whenever the latter is facing limited financial and human resource capabilities such as at QPL. The research findings disclose that none of the four pre-requisites are present within this micro-firm. Moreover it confirms the scepticism on the part of specific scholars regarding quality management programmes that micro-firms fail to afford such initiatives. Thus, it transpires that a distinct approach towards Quality Management within small business is more appropriate.   Auszug aus dem Text Text Sample: Chapter 1.1, Research Preamble: The underlying objective of business concerns is to deliver quality via superior and sustainable quality value systems (Goetsch and Davis, 2010). Within the contemporary business setting, QM appears to be no longer a competitive weapon in the arsenal of established organisations, but a prerequisite for survival (Haksever 1996). The emergence of the TQM concept has been acclaimed as the cure to un-competitiveness in abundant number of cases. Philip Crosby's 14-step programme is acclaimed to be the catalyst of quality improvement. These views seek to simplify the definition of quality in a business context as firms struggle to implement quality improvement programmes especially in the manufacturing sector were complex factors come into play such as sophisticated production machinery, technical and staff knowledge and skills, integrated information technology software systems, regional and organizational cultures and the size of the firm itself. Literature
    Abstract: indicates that insufficient empirical studies have been undertaken in relation to the systematic implementation of Philip Crosby's model within the wider context of EU based micro-organisations - the later representing 92% (see Appendix 1). Empirical evidence on outcomes regarding the implementation of the Crosby model is rather constrained. Thus, the researcher was motivated to fill this research gap by insightfully investigating a wide range of aspects within this arena. The researcher within the capacity of the GM of a micro-manufacturing firm, recognised the need to evaluate the applicability of Crosby's 14-step Quality Improvement Programme. This is especially the case in a local context, where this industry sector represents 96% of all organisations, employing 40.3% of the Maltese workforce (see Appendix 1). Competitive pressures are presenting challenges to micro -organisations, which far outnumber other business structures within the comprehensive EU industry (see Appendix 1). Quality Postform Limited (QPL), is persistently facing typical problems apparently due to quality, or as Crosby (1979) defines it, conformance to customer requirements. As General Manager (GM) of QPL, the researcher appreciates that quality is a critical factor for sustained success. This is qualified in the dissertation title. The researcher is focusing on Crosby's model by identifying such shortfalls and addressing success attributes to a list of prerequisites for implementation. Moreover, one has likewise to assess the extent of their presence within QPL. Subsequently, this research will serve to evaluate QPL, and it's potential in the practical application of Crosby's Model. The outcomes could be potentially relevant to alternative Maltese micro-firms.

    Abstract: The contributors to this book discuss the new conjunctions that have emerged between foreign policy events and politicized expressions of Russian nationalism since 2005. The 2008 war with Georgia, as well as conflicts with Ukraine and other East European countries over the memory of the Soviet Union, and the Russian interpretation of the 2005 French riots have all contributed to reinforcing narratives of Russia as a fortress surrounded by aggressive forces, in the West and CIS. This narrative has found support not only in state structures, but also within the larger public. It has been especially salient for some nationalist youth movements, including both pro-Kremlin organizations, such as "Nashi," and extra-systemic groups, such as those of the skinheads. These various actors each have their own specific agendas; they employ different modes of public action, and receive unequal recognition from other segments of society. Yet many of them expose a reading of certain foreign policy events which is roughly similar to that of various state structures. These and related phenomena are analyzed, interpreted and contextualized in papers by Luke March, Igor Torbakov, Jussi Lassila, Marlène Laruelle, and Lukasz Jurczyszyn.

    Abstract: Blood is more than a fluid solution of cells, platelets and plasma. It is a symbol for the most basic of human concerns--life, death and family find expression in rituals surrounding everything from menstruation to human sacrifice. Comprehensive in its scope and provocative in its argument, this book examines beliefs and rituals concerning blood in a range of regional and religious contexts throughout human history. Meyer reveals the origins of a wide range of blood rituals, from the earliest surviving human symbolism of fertility and the hunt, to the Jewish bris, and the clitoridectomies given to young girls in parts of Africa. The book also explores how cultural practices influence gene selection and makes a connection with the natural sciences by exploring how color perception influences the human proclivity to create blood symbols and rituals.

    Abstract: 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...
    Abstract: 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
    Abstract: 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
    Abstract: 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
    Abstract: 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

    Abstract: 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.

    Abstract: Video gaming is economically, educationally, culturally, socially and theoretically important, and has, in a relatively short period of time, firmly cemented its place within contemporary life. It is fair to say, however, that the majority of research to date has focused most specifically on either the video games themselves, or the direct engagement of gamers with a specific piece of game technology. In contrast, Video Gamers is the first book to explicitly and comprehensively address how digital games are engaged with and experienced in the everyday lives, social networks and consumer patterns of those who play them. In doing so, the book provides a key introduction to the study of gamers and the games they play, whilst also reflecting on the current debates and literatures surrounding gaming practices.

    Abstract: This book investigates the anti-Semitic foundations of Nazi curricula for elementary schools, with a focus on the subjects of biology, history, and literature. Gregory Paul Wegner argues that any study of Nazi society and its values must probe the education provided by the regime. Schools, according to Wegner, play a major role in advancing ideological justifications for mass murder, and in legitimizing a culture of ethnic and racial hatred. Using a variety of primary sources, Wegner provides a vivid account of the development of Nazi education.

    Abstract: Knowledge and Discourse presents an ecological approach to the study of discourse in social, academic and professional practices. It brings together distinguished scholars from diverse cultures - India, China, Australia, Canada among others - and disciplines - linguistics, anthropology, sociology, philosophy. The chapters collectively illustrate the ecological approach by exploring how language makes connections between subjective experiences as people construct meaning and action. This book offers the reader a holistic, interdisciplinary approach to the study of language as discourse, questioning traditional views of disciplinary knowledge and the role of discourse in the pursuit, construction and compartmentalisation of such knowledge. Through the variety of disciplines, experiences and approaches, the contributors show how the world and word are contingent on each other. The notions of connectivity, contingency and change are themes that run through the book, and in the interweaving of these themes readers will find persuasive illustrations of an ecological approach to applied linguistics.

    Abstract: It has only been recognised tardily and with reluctance that during the Second World War hundreds of thousands of itinerants met the same horrendous fate as Jews and other victims of Nazism. Gypsies appear to appeal to the imagination simply as social outcasts and scapegoats or, in a flattering but no more illuminating light, as romantic outsiders. In this study, contemporary notions about Gypsies are traced back as far as possible to their roots, in an attempt to lay bare why stigmatisation of gypsies, or rather groups labelled as such, has continuned from the distant past even to today.

    Abstract: Across Europe there is a rapidly changing context for undertaking regional development. In the 20th century, development of the former planned economies (Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania and Slovakia), was defined by these countries differences, rather than their common ideological roots. These disparities altered over time and were marked by changing social structures. However, the ranking of regions has remained the same as core areas have strengthened their positions while the structural obstacles to the modernisation of peripheral areas have remained due to a lack of coherent regional policy. This book examines the specific regional development paths of Central and Eastern European countries and evaluates the effects of the determining factors of this process. Through analysis of the system of objectives, instruments and institutions used in different eras, and case studies of Hungary, East Germany and Germany, development models are established and compared with Western European patterns. The book summarises the experiences of Central and Eastern European regional cooperation and examines the basic nature of the cohesion problems of the Carpathian Basin trans-national macro region. It confirms by comparative historical analyses that the transformation was indeed unique. This book will make a welcome addition to the literature for students and academics interested in the broader picture of Central and Eastern European politics, future integration within the European Union and the history of regional development processes.

    Abstract: As Tony Blair has said, "Technology has revolutionised the way we work and is now set to transform education. Children cannot be effective in tomorrow's world if they are trained in yesterday's skills." Cyberkids draws together research in the sociology of childhood and social studies of technology to explore children's experiences in the Information Age. The book addresses key policy debates about social inclusion and exclusion, children's identities and friendships in on-line and off-line worlds and their relationships with families and teachers. It counters contemporary moral panics about children's risk from dangerous strangers on-line, about corruption and lost innocence from adult-centred material on the web and about the addiction to life on the screen. Instead, by showing how children use ICT in balanced and sophisticated ways, the book draws out the importance of everyday uses of technology and the ways in which children's local experiences are embedded within, and in part, constitute the global.

    Abstract: 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.
