How can employment policies support young people entering the labour market? Alban Knecht analyses the changes in political discourses and social-political measures with regards to employment promotion for disadvantaged young people in Austria. Against the background of his resource theory, he discusses measures such as inter-company apprenticeships, youth guarantee, and compulsory training and illustrates the impact that the social investment paradigm as well as the capability-orientated, neoliberal, and right-wing populist approaches may have on the practical work of professionals and on the young people concerned.
Medical handbooks rarely provide advice on what to do when your patient has to undergo surgery. Similarly surgical handbooks focus on conditions that need surgery, and the main problems caused by that surgery. In contrast, Perioperative Medicine is a concise, practical text that gives junior doctors the guidance that they need to cope with medical problems in surgical patients that might occur early in pre-assessment clinic, the night before surgery, out-of-hours or on the wards post-operatively. It is an invaluable guide to covering surgical patients, and appeals to a wide readership, including junior surgical doctors, medical doctors covering surgical acute admissions, and members of the h...
Chapters that are new or radically changed include the opening chapter on the Health Needs of Women in a Changing Society; Teaching and Learning Surgical Techniques; and chapters on Minimal Access Surgery, which are richly illustrated by remarkable photographic images. Chapters on Pelvic Floor and Cancer Surgery retain well-established operative procedures where relevant, but include accounts of exciting newer techniques, such as robotic surgery. Up to the minute chapters on Radiology, Radiotherapy and Chemotherapy are provided by colleagues from these specialties who now form part of modern multidisciplinary teams. The 6th Edition, which appeared in 2001, reflected the growing replacement o...

This book brings the reader up to date with these developments, covering aetiology, epidemiology, pathogenesis, prognostic factors, presentation, interventional radiol
This volume presents the second half of a diverse collection of chapters in the field of materials and infrastructures in transport systems, which illustrate the technological and methodological innovations required to rise to the challenge of building more sustainable transport infrastructures for the future. The authors explore the potential of these sustainable solutions to improve the performance and efficiency of materials and infrastructures, with a reduced environmental impact and lower cost. Theoretical and practical case studies address a variety of topics including circular economy and sustainability, the impacts of climate change, durability, lifecycle, auscultation and the monitoring of infrastructures. This book provides transport researchers and professionals with a better understanding of the current and future trends in these innovative fields, enabling them to put into practice new technologies and methods of design and management, so that new solutions can become current practices to truly improve modern transport systems.

Die grundlegenden Veränderungen von Wohlfahrtsstaat und Kapitalismus schlagen sich in der EU insbesondere im Alltag junger Erwerbsloser nieder. Christoph Gille untersucht, wie junge Menschen in Spanien und Deutschland trotz der Restriktionen, die damit verbunden sind, Handlungsfähigkeit in ihrem Alltag herstellen. Dazu entwickelt er in der Tradition der Wohlfahrtsstaatenforschung „von unten“ ein akteursbezogenes Verständnis des jeweiligen nationalen Kontextes. Deutlich werden so die Effekte der unterschiedlichen Sozialstaaten, aber auch die Gemeinsamkeiten zwischen den beiden Ländern, und damit der transnationale Charakter der andauernden wohlfahrtskapitalistischen Transformation.
This richly illustrated and expert study follows the artist from the early gloom-laden paintings of peasants and workers, through his bright and colorful Parisian period, to the work of his final years, spent under a southern sun in Arles.
Der Autor untersucht, inwiefern das Praxissemester Studierenden den angestrebten Perspektivwechsel ermöglichen kann. Ein Fokus der Arbeit liegt dabei auf der Konzeption des Praxissemesters als Ort der Verknüpfung von Theorie und Praxis sowie theologischen und ethnologischen Übergangstheorien. Für die Arbeit wurden qualitative Interviews mit Absolventinnen und Absolventen des Praxissemesters durchgeführt. Das Resultat der empirischen Studie wird in zehn Thesen mit wissenschaftlicher Theorie zusammengeführt und stellt somit auch auf der Metaebene eine Verknüpfung von Theorie und Praxis dar. Malte Kling, Jahrgang 1992, arbeitet an der Universität Paderborn am Lehrstuhl für Evangelische Praktische Theologie sowie im Forschungsverbund "Praxissemester".
Wie nehmen Absolventen und Absolventinnen der Studiengänge Erziehungswissenschaft und Medizin ihr Studium wahr, wie erleben sie den Übergang und wie deuten sie ihre berufliche Situation? Gibt es spezifische Haltungen, die durch die unterschiedlichen Fachkulturen, die unterschiedliche Studiengestaltung und die verschiedenen Arbeitsmarktsituationen bewirkt wird? In welchen Sequenzen gestaltet sich der Übergang? Auf diese (und weitere) Fragen gibt der vorliegende Band Antworten. Dabei werden qualitative und quantitative Ansätze verbunden.
