Frauen undercover: Der Einfluss von Geheimagentinnen in Deutschland James Bond und Jason Bourne prägen unser Bild über die Arbeit von Geheimdiensten. Aber in der Realität sind nicht nur Männer als Agenten tätig. Schon seit dem Kaiserreich arbeiten viele Frauen für deutsche und internationale Nachrichtendienste. Sie stehlen militärische Dokumente, überwachen und sabotieren ihre Gegner, rekrutieren Informantinnen und enttarnen feindliche Spione. Doch obwohl Agentinnen ihren männlichen Kollegen in nichts nachstehen, wird ihr Einfluss auf die Geschichte bis heute unterschätzt. Maik Baumgärtner und Ann-Katrin Müller haben ihre geheimen Fälle der vergangenen hundert Jahre recherchiert, zahlreiche Akten ausgewertet und mit ehemaligen und aktiven Geheimagentinnen gesprochen, die für oder in Deutschland im Einsatz waren. In diesem Buch erzählen die beiden SPIEGEL-Journalisten ihre Geschichten und zeigen, wer die Frauen waren, die der heutigen Generation von Spioninnen den Weg ebneten.
Culture is constructed, negotiated, managed, and shared by various ideological, political, and moral reasonings which manifest themselves tangibly and intangibly in public monuments, architecture, memorial sites, theaters, museums, orchestras, and heritage associations. The contributions to this volume explore the intersection of cultural heritage and nationality in societies that are characterized by national, multi-national, and post-national concepts. They question the roles that cultural heritage plays in its various contexts, and the ways in which ideology functions to produce it.
This two-volume handbook provides readers with a comprehensive interpretation of globality through the multifaceted prism of the humanities and social sciences. Key concepts and symbolizations rooted in and shaped by European academic traditions are discussed and reinterpreted under the conditions of the global turn. Highlighting consistent anthropological features and socio-cultural realities, the handbook gathers coherently structured articles written by 110 professors in the humanities and social sciences at Bonn University, Germany, who initiate a global dialogue on meaningful and sustainable notions of human life in the age of globality. Volume 1 introduces readers to various interpretations of globality, and discusses notions of human development, communication and aesthetics. Volume 2 covers notions of technical meaning, of political and moral order, and reflections on the shaping of globality.
A project planning and decision support model is developed and applied to identify and reduce risk and uncertainty in deconstruction project planning. It allows calculating building inventories based on sensor information and construction standards and it computes robust project plans for different scenarios with multiple modes, constrained renewable resources and locations. A reactive and flexible planning element is proposed in the case of schedule infeasibility during project execution.
Towards a New Social Contract Ars Electronica 2023 is dedicated to the complex questions of truth and the concept of ownership in this digital age. In doing so, the festival navigates the central questions of our time. The focus is on how our perception of "authentic" and "original" is being transformed and whether truth can be owned, and how this relates to digitalization and the rapidly developing performance of artificial intelligence. How can the achievements of a tool that is so much based on the globally collective "raw material" of knowledge and creativity be made accessible to everyone and be harnessed to the benefit of all? This comprehensive volume brings together the works of artists, scientists, developers, designers, entrepreneurs and activists from around the world and delves deep into the themes of the festival, offering insights, perspectives, and thought-provoking content that reflect on the intersection of art, technology, and society.
In this work a process simulation model identifies the most profitable German biogas plant types and sizes. Small manure and large-scale biowaste plants are currently the most economically attractive installations whereas the valorization of energy crops turns out to be unprofitable. Future developments are assessed with the help of a regional optimization model under constraints. Capacity expansion concerns small-scale manure and biowaste installations rather than plants based on energy crops.
