Viele Menschen suchen inzwischen Hilfe und Beratung zuerst im Internet und wählen seltener den Weg zu einer Beratungsstelle. Vor diesem Hintergrund stehen Organisationen heute vor der Frage, welche Voraussetzungen sie schaffen müssen, um auf diesen neuen Bedarf an Hilfe im Internet zu reagieren. Antworten gibt dieser Leitfaden und ermutigt zur Einführung einer Onlineberatung. Er beschreibt die Entwicklung der Onlineberatung in Deutschland, untersucht die Besonderheiten der Onlinekommunikation, Beratungsmethoden und die organisatorischen, beratungsfachlichen sowie rechtlichen Voraussetzungen, die Organisationen entwickeln müssen, um eine qualitativ hochwertige professionelle Onlineberatung aufzubauen. Vom Ergebnis profitieren Beratungsstellen und Ratsuchende: Die Einführung einer Onlineberatung stellt die bisherige Arbeit einer Beratungsstelle auf den Prüfstand und führt zu einer Qualitätssteigerung ihrer gesamten Beratungsleistung. Onlineberatung trägt zugleich zur Emanzipation Ratsuchender gegenüber Beratungsstellen bei und damit zu deren Empowerment.

Why does water always take a winding course in streams and rivers? Do common principles and rhythms underlie its movement - whether it be in the sea, in a plant, or even in the blood of a human being? In this seminal and thought-provoking work, the laws apparent in the subtle patterns of water in movement are shown to be the same as those perceptible in the shaping of bones, muscles and a myriad of other forms in nature. Fully illustrated, Sensitive Chaos reveals the unifying forces that underlie all living things. The author observes and explains such phenomena as the flight of birds, the formation of internal organs such as the heart, eye and ear, as well as mountain ranges and river deltas, weather and space patterns, and even the formation of the human embryo.
The twenty-first century is a world in constant change. In A New Culture of Learning, Doug Thomas and John Seely Brown pursue an understanding of how the forces of change, and emerging waves of interest associated with these forces, inspire and invite us to imagine a future of learning that is as powerful as it is optimistic. Typically, when we think of culture, we think of an existing, stable entity that changes and evolves over long periods of time. In A New Culture, Thomas and Brown explore a second sense of culture, one that responds to its surroundings organically. It not only adapts, it integrates change into its process as one of its environmental variables. By exploring play, innovat...
The main purpose of the book is the analysis of income inequality and poverty in a comparative context. The book contains articles on the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Russia under transition.

Objective as well as subjective approaches for measurement of poverty are used. The book gives references to public use files which could be used for own research of readers.
The contributions to this volume offer an analysis of the pensions crisis: how it has come about, what it means and what measures can be taken to offset the effects of a massive shortfall between the available resources and public expectations.
Automata theory has come into prominence in recent years with a plethora of applications in fields ranging from verification to XML processing and file compression. In fact, the 2007 Turing Award was awarded to Clarke, Emerson and Sifakis for their pioneering work on model-checking techniques. To the best of our knowledge, there is no single book that covers the vast range of applications of automata theory targeted at a mature student audience. This book is intended to fill that gap and can be used as an intermediate-level textbook. It begins with a detailed treatment of foundational material not normally covered in a beginner's course in automata theory, and then rapidly moves on to applications. The book is largely devoted to verification and model checking, and contains material that is at the cutting edge of verification technology. It will be an invaluable reference for software practitioners working in this area.
This groundbreaking feminist classic dismantles the way we view rape in our culture and replaces it with a genuine understanding and respect for female sexual pleasure. In the original edition, feminist, political, and activist writers alike presented their ideas for a paradigm shift from the "No Means No" model--and the result was the groundbreaking shift to today's affirmative consent model ("Yes Means Yes," as coined by this book). With a timely new introduction, refreshed cover, and the timeless contributions of authors from Kate Harding to Jill Filipovic, Yes Means Yes brings to the table a dazzling variety of perspectives and experiences focused on the theory that educating all people to value female sexuality and pleasure leads to viewing women differently, and ending rape. Yes Means Yes has radical and far-reaching effects: from teaching men to treat women as collaborators and not conquests, encouraging men and women that women can enjoy sex instead of being shamed for it, and ultimately, that our children can inherit a world where rape is rare and swiftly punished.

This timely volume provides a comprehensive overview of glucocorticoids and their role in regulating many aspects of physiology and their use in the treatment of disease. The book is broken into four sections that begin by giving a general introduction to glucocorticoids and a brief history of the field. The second section will discuss the effects of glucocorticoids on metabolism, while the third section will cover the effects of glucocorticoids on key tissues. The final section will discuss general topics, such as animal models in glucocorticoid research and clinical implications of glucocorticoid research. Featuring chapters from leaders in the field, this volume will be of interest to both researchers and clinicians.
