Antimicrobial Resistance
Antimicrobial resistance has existed in nature long before the discovery of antibiotics. The mechanisms of resistance are prevalent among the bacterial population. Over a period of time and facilitated by indiscriminate usage of antibiotics, these mechanisms are transferred from one type of bacteria to another, including the pathogenic ones. In addition, the rate of discovery of novel antimicrobials is much slower than the rate of evolution of antimicrobial resistance. Therefore, there is a need for alternative strategies to control antimicrobial resistance to save lives. In this book, the novel strategies to combat antimicrobial resistance are described, emphasizing collaborative measures of control. We describe the concerted efforts undertaken by global communities to combat antimicrobial resistance in detail. The most efficient strategy could be a behavioral change towards indiscriminate consumption, usage, and prescription of antibiotics.
Co-creating Actionable Science
In response to the call for actionable and collaborative solutions-oriented research for sustainability, this collection of essays provides insights into the multi-layered challenges that underlie this fast-emerging field. It offers the reader a deeper understanding of the myriad local avenues where knowledge is co-produced to meet the grand challenge of our times—‘transformation to sustainability’. Situated within a wide variety of research settings in the global North and South, the contributions here variously probe how actionable science emerges (or fails to emerge) in this process. From diverse perspectives, they ruminate on various research practice topics, including how to reconcile scientific understanding with normative action, how to acknowledge and integrate participant knowledge in research, and how to handle potential negative impacts of actionable science. In examining these rarely reflected-upon questions, the book provides valuable, empirically-based insights into research practice, and will be useful for scholars and educators working with transdisciplinary research design and practice.
The Value of Employment for People with Disabilities Around the World
Receiving education and training that lead to a meaningful job, having a career, and being a valued contributor to a professional environment is taken for granted by many. Historically, however, people with disabilities have had limited opportunities to engage in employment due to discrimination, ableism, and low expectations despite the fact that employment is a basic human and civil right. This book is intended to build awareness and inspire action on the part of chief executive officers, human resource managers, and supervisory personnel to facilitate employment opportunities for people with disabilities. It will be of interest to policy makers and other professionals who support people with disabilities as part of their responsibilities in labor and social service ministries, vocational rehabilitation service providers, and employment service providers. The book is written by authors with backgrounds in a variety of disciplines related to the employment of people with disabilities across North America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia.
Visual Methods in Marketing and Consumer Research
Despite the rising popularity of visual research methods, from images and collages to videos and animations, there is an imminent need for a book that can be a point of reference for learning about visual methods in the field of marketing and consumer research. This book offers a comprehensive outlook of visual research methods in the field, highlighting their value and offering a practical guide for researchers. Building on the experiences and discussions of both experienced and aspiring visual researchers, the editors present this book as a ‘go‐to’ guide for doing visual research in marketing and consumer research. This book encompasses nine chapters guiding the readers through the A...
New Perspectives on Technology in Society
The development and introduction of a new technology to society can be viewed as an experimental process, full of uncertainties, which are only gradually reduced as the technology is employed. Unexpected developments may trigger an experimental process in which society must find new ways to deal with the uncertainties posed. This book explores how the experimental perspective determines what ethical issues new technologies raise and how it helps morally evaluate their introduction. Expert contributors highlight the uncertainties that accompany the process, identify the social and ethical challenges they give rise to, and propose strategies to manage them. Focusing on the introduction of new technologies and experimentation as ways to perceive new developments and changing contexts, a key theme of the book is how to approach the moral issues raised by new technology and understand the role of experimentation in exploring these matters.
Campus-Community-Partnerships: Zukunftspartnerschaften zwischen Hochschule und Gesellschaft
Ausgehend von der gleichnamigen Jahrestagung des internationalen Hochschulnetzwerks "Bildung durch Verantwortung", die im Herbst 2022 zum ersten Mal in Österreich stattfgefunden hat, nimmt das Themenheft "Campus Community Partnerships" (CCPs) in den Blick, d.h. die Zusammenarbeit von Hochschulen und Community-Partner:innen mit der Zielsetzung, sowohl wissenschaftliche Auseinandersetzungen als auch gesellschaftlich relevante Problemstellungen sinnstiftend zu verknüpfen. Einen aktuellen empirischen Überblick zur Zusammenarbeit von Hochschulen und Praxispartner:innen (CCPs) gibt es für den deutschsprachigen Raum derzeit noch nicht, auch fehlt es nach wie vor an systematischer empirischer Fo...
Arbeit an der Grenzfläche
Anna-Lena Berscheid beschäftigt sich damit, wie inter- und transdisziplinäre Forschung, die oftmals als vielversprechende Strategie zur Lösung sogenannter Großer Gesellschaftlicher Herausforderungen gehandelt wird, in der wissenschaftlichen Praxis von Nachwuchswissenschaftlern aus den Bereichen Physik, Chemie und Maschinenbau konzeptualisiert und umgesetzt wird. Im Rahmen einer ethnografischen Untersuchung eines Forschungsverbunds, der sich mit hybriden Leichtbaumaterialien beschäftigt, identifiziert und analysiert die Autorin die spezifischen Herausforderungen grenzüberschreitender Forschung.
Innovatives Regionalmanagement im demografischen Wandel
Der Sammelband thematisiert den demografischen Wandel als Megatrend, der Regionen sehr unterschiedlich und immer wieder neu herausfordert. Wirtschaft und Arbeit sind dabei zentrale Gestaltungsfelder. Das Buch fasst die Ergebnisse eines vom BMBF 2014-2016 geförderten Projektes zusammen, das durch die Zusammenführung von Regional Governance und Transition Management ein innovatives Regionalmanagement entwickelt hat, welches den Akteuren in der Region hilft, den demografischen Wandel zu gestalten.
