    Abstract: Ruling Women is the first study of its kind devoted to an analysis of the debate concerning government by women in seventeenth-century France. Drawing on a wide range of political, feminist and dramatic texts, Conroy sets out to demonstrate that the dominant discourse which upholds patriarchy at the time is frequently in conflict with alternative discourses which frame gynæcocracy as a feasible, and laudable reality, and which reconfigure (wittingly or unwittingly) the normative paradigm of male authority. Central to the argument is an analysis of how the discourse which constructs government as a male prerogative quite simply implodes when juxtaposed with the traditional political discourse of virtue ethics. In Government, Virtue, and the Female Prince in Seventeenth-Century France, the first volume of the two-volume study, the author examines the dominant discourse which excludes women from political authority before turning to the configuration of women and rulership in the pro-woman and egalitarian discourses of the period. Highly readable and engaging, Conroy’s work will appeal to those interested in the history of women in political thought and the history of feminism, in addition to scholars of seventeenth-century literature and history of ideas

    Abstract: The 38th World Congress of IIS addressed some of the most fundamental issues of sociological inquiry in light of global processes and the development of different fields of knowledge: What does it mean to be human? What is the nature of social as opposed to natural processes? How do efforts to map the social and political world interact with that world and with traditional sociological practices? What can we say about relationships between scientific, political and religious beliefs? This volume sets the stage for a sustained look at what social science can say about the twenty-first century and to address the theme of the congress in 2008: Sociology Looks at the 21st Century. From Local Universalism to Global Contextualism. Contributors are: Gustaf Arrhenius, Rajeev Bhargava, Craig Calhoun, Shmuel N. Eisenstadt, Yehuda Elkana, Raghavendra Gadagkar, Peter Hedström, Hans Joas, Hannes Klöpper, Ivan Krastev, Steven Lukes, Vinh-Kim Nguyen, Helga Nowotny, Shalini Randeria, Alan Ryan, Jyotirmaya Sharma, Christina Torén, Michel Wieviorka, Björn Wittrock, Petri Ylikoski

    Abstract: Simplify your ETL processes with these hands-on data hygiene tips, tricks, and best practices. Key Features Focus on the basics of data wrangling Study various ways to extract the most out of your data in less time Boost your learning curve with bonus topics like random data generation and data integrity checks Book Description For data to be useful and meaningful, it must be curated and refined. Data Wrangling with Python teaches you the core ideas behind these processes and equips you with knowledge of the most popular tools and techniques in the domain. The book starts with the absolute basics of Python, focusing mainly on data structures. It then delves into the fundamental tools of data wrangling like NumPy and Pandas libraries. You'll explore useful insights into why you should stay away from traditional ways of data cleaning, as done in other languages, and take advantage of the specialized pre-built routines in Python. This combination of Python tips and tricks will also demonstrate how to use the same Python backend and extract/transform data from an array of sources including the Internet, large database vaults, and Excel financial tables. To help you prepare for more challenging scenarios, you'll cover how to handle missing or wrong data, and reformat it based on the requirements from the downstream analytics tool.

    Abstract: In a world struggling to adapt to seismic social and environmental changes, the time is now for businesses to prioritise creating local conditions of peace. This book builds on original research foregrounding 'peace' as a core business outcome for natural resources industries. Especially in non-warlike situations where natural resources industries have exacerbated or caused conflict, foregrounding peace as a core business outcome can bring substantial benefits. Peace is a concept external and internal stakeholders understand. Consequently, research shows that when natural resources sector CSR professionals start reframing their day-to-day decisions in terms of peace outcomes, they are more likely to create efficient and cost-effective solutions to environmental, social and economic business challenges. This book provides both theory and practical suggestions for how to reframe day-to-day CSR activities of natural resources companies as peace-focused, business decisions. Especially in the remote and rural regions of the world where natural resources industries have the greatest impact, businesses can lead the way in contributing to conditions of peace while bringing much needed resources to market.

We will set up JEST for testing and use JEST to test React, Redux, Redux-Sage, Reducers, and other components. We will then add important middleware and set up immutableJS in our application. We will use common data structures such as Map, List, Set, and OrderedList from the immutableJS framework. We will then add user interfaces using ReactJS, Redux-Form, and Ant Design. We will explore the use of react-router-dom and its functions. We will create a list of routes that we will need in order to create our application, and explore routing on the server site and create the required routes for our application. We will then debug our application and integrate Redux Dev tools. We will then set up our API server and create the API required for our application. We will dive into a modern approach to structuring our server site components in terms of Model, Controller, Helper functions, and utilities functions. We will explore the use of NodeJS with Express to build the REST API components. Finally, we will venture into the possibilities of extending the application for further research, including deployment and optimization.

    Abstract: "Far from heralding their demise, digital technologies have lead to a dramatic transformation of the public library. Around the world, libraries have reinvented themselves as networked hubs, community centres, innovation labs, and makerspaces. Coupling striking architectural design with attention to ambience and comfort, libraries have signaled their desire to be seen as both engines of innovation and creative production, and hearts of community life. This book argues that the library’s transformation is deeply connected to a broader project of urban redevelopment and the transition to a knowledge economy. In particular, libraries have become entangled in visions of the smart city, where densely networked, ubiquitous connectivity promises urban prosperity built on efficiency, innovation, and new avenues for civic participation. Drawing on theoretical analysis and interviews with library professionals, policymakers, and users, this book examines the inevitable tensions emerging when a public institution dedicated to universal access to knowledge and a shared public culture intersects with the technology-driven, entrepreneurialist ideals of the smart city."--

    Abstract: "Team Human is a manifesto--a fiery distillation of preeminent digital theorist Douglas Rushkoff's most urgent thoughts on civilization and human nature. In one hundred lean and incisive statements, he argues that we are essentially social creatures, and that we achieve our greatest aspirations when we work together--not as individuals. Yet today society is threatened by a vast antihuman infrastructure that undermines our ability to connect. Money, once a means of exchange, is now a means of exploitation; education, conceived as way to elevate the working class, has become another assembly line; and the internet has only further divided us into increasingly atomized and radicalized groups. Team Human delivers a call to arms. If we are to resist and survive these destructive forces, we must recognize that being human is a team sport. In Rushkoff's own words: "Being social may be the whole point." Harnessing wide-ranging research on human evolution, biology, and psychology, Rushkoff shows that when we work together we realize greater happiness, productivity, and peace. If we can find the others who understand this fundamental truth and reassert our humanity--together--we can make the world a better place to be human."--Page [1]

    Abstract: The wide-ranging European perspectives collected here aim to analyse, by means of an interdisciplinary approach, the numerous implications of a massive shift in the conception of “work” and the category of “worker.” Economic crisis and digitalization have exacerbated a crisis in those categories of thought and political action that previously allowed us to discuss-and problematize-vulnerability in employment in terms of unfairness, inequality, and inadequate protection. Engaging with the deconstruction of traditional employment as a central category for theorizing the phenomenon of work, this volume explores the new semantic fields and territories that have become available for theorising, understanding, and regulating employment. These new linguistic categories have implications beyond language alone: they produce a reformulation of the conventional wisdom concerning the whole category of waged employment (aspects previously taken for granted as to the meaning of work and of being “a worker”), as well as other closely associated categories such as unemployment, self-employment, or inactivity

    Abstract: Franziska Wittau setzt sich mit den Prozessen der Konsum- und Verbraucherbildung vor allem aus dem Blickwinkel der unterrichtenden Lehrkräfte auseinander. Die Autorin fokussiert sich im Besonderen auf Deutungsmuster, die die Gestaltung erfolgreicher Konsum- und Verbraucherbildung in den Augen der Lehrkräfte prägen. Im Rahmen der vorliegenden Interviewstudie lässt sich rekonstruieren, wie stark das professionale Handeln gerade im Bereich der Verbraucherbildung in Milieu, Habitus und alltäglicher Lebenspraxis verwurzelt ist. Hieraus lassen sich Rückschlüsse für die Professionalisierung von Lehrkräften vor allem in der sozialwissenschaftlichen Domäne ziehen.

    Abstract: Leseförderung wird in allen Unterrichtsfächern von Lehrkräften erwartet. Vor diesem Hintergrund präsentiert Jennifer Dröse ein theoretisch fundiertes und empirisch erprobtes Lehr-Lern-Arrangement zur Förderung von mathematikspezifischem Leseverständnis. Sie untersucht fachspezifische Lese- und Verstehensstrategien sowie syntaktische Sprachbewusstheit für beziehungstragende Strukturen, die bisher selten als Lerngegenstand im Mathematikunterricht thematisiert wurden. Durch die Rekonstruktion der individuellen gegenstandsspezifischen Lernwege zeigt die Autorin die situative Wirkung des Lehr-Lern-Arrangements auf. Dieses hat sich auch im Klassenunterricht als wirksam erwiesen.

    Abstract: Dieses Buch aus der Anti-Stress-Trainer-Reihe wendet sich an alle Heldinnen des Alltags: An die Frauen, die trotz Ihrer Kinder nicht auf Ihre Karriere verzichten wollen. An die Frauen, die ihre Familie genauso wichtig finden wie ihren Job. An die Frauen, die mutig die tägliche Zerreißprobe auf sich nehmen und hin und wieder feststellen, dass dieser Kampf nur selten unentschieden ausgeht. Berufstätige Mütter fühlen sich oft allein gelassen mit ihrer Vielzahl von Aufgaben und Problemen - oft unabhängig davon, ob sie einen starken Partner an Ihrer Seite haben oder nicht. Da Frauen/Mütter oft anders Ticken als Männer/Väter, richtet sich das Buch speziell an die Working Moms - geschrieben von einer Working Mom an alle anderen Working Moms. Das Buch geht auf die 10 größten Stressfaktoren einer Working Mom ein und verhilft den großartigen Müttern so zu mehr Gelassenheit. Mit vielen Beispielen aus dem Alltag der Autorin. Authentisch, nah und ehrlich! Die Reihe Stress gehört in unserem Berufs- und Privatleben zum Alltag. Dabei unterscheiden sich die stressauslösenden Faktoren jedoch je nach Berufsgruppe. Aus diesem Grunde widmen sich in der Anti-Stress-Trainer-Reihe, initiiert von Peter Buchenau, führende Expertinnen und Experten diesen spezifischen Stresssituationen. Die Autorin Dunja Schenk ist Expertin für Effizienz. Als IHK-zertifizierte Trainerin und systemischer Coach unterstützt sie deutschlandweit namhafte Unternehmen bei der Optimierung von Arbeitsabläufen im Büro. Sie ist selbst zweifache Mutter und kennt die Belastungen des Alltags

    Abstract: Die Grounded Theory als Methodologie -- Kodieren in der Grounded Theory -- Eine Untersuchung zum Übergang von kurativer zu palliativer Behandlung am Lebensende -- QDA-Software zur Analyse in Grounded-Theory-Studien
    Abstract: Ärzte haben die Pflicht, menschliches Leben zu retten und zu erhalten, aber nicht unter allen Umständen. Sofern es indiziert ist, müssen sie von kurativer Behandlung zu palliativmedizinischer Versorgung übergehen und damit einen Behandlungsabbruch durchführen. Die Autoren zeigen am Beispiel von Intensivmedizinern, dass die Erkenntnis, dass ein Patient stirbt, nicht nach naturwissenschaftlichen Parametern vorgenommen wird, dass ein Behandlungsabbruch ethisch schwer zu verantworten ist und gesetzliche Vorgaben und Richtlinien der Bundesärztekammer für Ärzte keine sicheren Entscheidungshilfen bieten.

    Abstract: “The climate movement is now old and robust enough to be studied--which in and of itself is good news. And the results of those inquiries are of great use in … building this movement big enough and fast enough to catch up with the physics of global warming. This book will help make our labors more effective!” -Bill McKibben, founder, 350.org, and Schumann Distinguished Scholar in Environmental Studies, Middlebury College, USA “Addressing climate change will not be achieved through business as usual. … To learn how citizen action might be improved, Laurence Delina brings to bear insights from social theory combined with reports from numerous action groups. … Climate Actions offers a wealth of ideas and information for anyone seeking to make actions as effective as possible.” -Brian Martin, Emeritus Professor, University of Wollongong, Australia Climate change remains a challenge that needs to be addressed at its core, particularly the rapid reduction of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. This book discusses strategies for climate actions by synthesizing insights from a set of international ‘contemporary social action group’s’ surveys. Based on these Delina introduces a synthesis of mechanisms for generating change, designed around 5 main themes: relationships (relating); value-based messages (messaging); alternatives (visioning); diversity (webbing); and communication (interacting). This book will be of great value to all academics and practitioners interested in the future development of our climate

    Abstract: Forschende, Lehrende, SpeakerInnen, aber auch ExpertInnen in Unternehmen sammeln während ihrer Arbeit große Mengen an Wissen und Fakten. Oft liegt ein erheblicher Teil dieser Informationen immer noch brach, nachdem die Vorlesung, die Publikation oder der Geschäftsbericht damit erstellt worden ist. Dieses Potenzial lässt sich nutzen, um ein Sachbuch zu verfassen und damit den Expertenstatus im eigenen Fachgebiet auszubauen. Das vorliegende Fachbuch leitet Neu-AutorInnen Schritt für Schritt dabei an, ihr Werk zu erstellen und bietet viele praktische Tipps und Übungen. Zusätzlich bekommen Lesende durch ExpertInnen-Interviews von erfahrenen Sachbuch-AutorInnen spannende Einblicke hinter die Kulissen des Schreibens und Publizierens für die Allgemeinheit geboten. Eine übersichtliche Checkliste gibt für den Schreib- und Arbeitsprozess zusätzliche Orientierung. Der Inhalt • Von der Buchidee zum Konzept • Konkurrenzanalyse • Verlagssuche • Exposé & Leseprobe • Vertragliches • Manuskript schreiben • Marketing & Buch-PR Die Autorin Natascha Miljković ist Naturwissenschaftlerin, Science Counsellor, Vortragende, Sachbuchautorin, Herausgeberin und präventive Plagiatsprüferin. Seit 2013 analysiert und berät sie Bildungseinrichtungen zum Themenkomplex akademische Unredlichkeiten, führt Hochschul-Strategieentwicklungsprozesse durch und unterrichtet, wie man Unredlichkeiten nachhaltig vermeiden kann.

    Abstract: This book examines rural-urban migration policies in China, and considers how Chinese workers cope with migration events in the context of these policies. It explores the contribution of migrant workers to the Chinese economy, the impact of changes within the ‘hukou’ system (household registration) and the impact of recent migration policies promoting rural-urban migration and targeting key events during migrant workers’ migration trajectories - job-seeking, wage exploitation, work injuries and illness - namely the corresponding ‘Skills Training Program for Migrant Workers’, the ‘Circular on Managing Wage Payment to Migrant Workers’, the ‘Circular on Migrant Workers Participating in Work-Related Injury Insurance’, and the ‘New Rural Medical Cooperative Scheme’ (Health Insurance). Through in-depth interviews, it examines how when facing such challenges, migrant workers choose to either make a claim under existing policies, or use other coping strategies. The book notably proposes a typology of “coping” which includes a variety of administrative coping, political coping and social coping, and considers how workers in China harness the power of civil groups and social networks

    Abstract: This book offers one of the first detailed anthropological studies of emergent ecotopianism in urban contexts. Engaging directly with debates on urbanisation, sustainability and utopia, it presents two detailed ethnographic case studies of inner urban Australian eco-communities in Adelaide and Melbourne. These novel responses to the ecological crisis - real social laboratories that attempt to manifest a vision of the ‘eco-city’ in microcosm - offer substantial new insights into the concept and creation of sustainable urban communities, their attempts to cultivate ways of living that are socially and ecologically nourishing, and their often fraught relationship to the capitalist city beyond. These studies also suggest the opportunities and limitations of moving beyond demonstration projects towards wider urban transformation, as well as exposing the problems of accessibility and affordability that thwart further urban eco-interventions and the ways that existing projects can exacerbate issues of gentrification and privilege in a socially polarised city. Amidst the challenges of the capitalist city, climate change and ecological crisis, this book offers vital lessons on the potential of urban sustainability in future cities

    Abstract: Neue digitale Technologien erleichtern es zunehmend, persönliche gesundheitsbezogene Daten zu generieren, zu analysieren und zu kommunizieren. Immer mehr Menschen nutzen entsprechende Instrumente und Angebote, um Wissen über ihre eigene Gesundheit, ihren Körper und ihr Selbst zu produzieren - etwa im Zuge digitaler Selbstvermessung oder über Gentests im Internet. Die Produktion dieses Wissens steht in einem Spannungsfeld von Selbstbezug und Wissenschaftsbezug, welches für das sich wandelnde Verhältnis von Wissenschaft, Medizin und Gesellschaft insgesamt instruktiv ist. Der Sammelband bezeichnet diese wissensproduzierenden, auf die persönliche Gesundheit bezogenen Praktiken von Bürgern und Laien als Personal Health Science und analysiert ihre Ausprägungen, Dynamiken und Kontexte. Der Inhalt Formen und Felder.- Prägung und Veränderung.- Kontexte und Bezüge Die Zielgruppen Soziolog/innen, Wissenschafts- und Technikforscher/innen, Gesundheitswissenschaftler/innen, Medienwissenschaftler/innen und Innovationsforscher/innen Die Herausgeber Dr. Nils B.

    Abstract: Is American society falling apart? Put this provocative question to people you know and you will encounter a disturbing number of affirmative answers. But beyond such emotional foreboding, how would one factually answer the question? In this book, Brian J. Jones poses the issue by first building a theoretically-based model of the guts of any living society-family, work, voluntary association and social networks. This model of social capital is then tested using some four decades of real-world data from the General Social Survey, the gold standard for modern survey research. This process here yields real answers about life in America. People are reallocating their commitments to family and work, to friends and neighbors. These changes are tied to Americans’ deepest motivations such as trust and happiness. Also unearthed are deep signs of societal divisions along the fault lines of education, marriage and race. Social Capital in American Life is a serious answer to a provocative-and very real-question

    Abstract: This book discusses the interconnected, complex and emerging risks in today’s societies and deliberates on the various aspects of disaster risk reduction strategies especially through community resilience and responses. It consists of selected papers presented at the World Congress on Disaster Management, which focused on community resilience and responses towards disaster risk reduction based on South Asian experiences, and closely examines the coordinated research activities involving all stakeholders, especially the communities at risk. Further, it narrates the experiences of disaster risk-reduction in different communities that have policy implications for mitigation of future disaster risks in the societies affected by these types of disasters. Written from the social science perspective to disasters rather than an engineering approach, the book helps development and governance institutions to prioritize disasters as a problem of development rather than being parallel to it
