Through an array of detailed case studies, this book explores the vibrant digital expressions of diverse groups of Muslim cybernauts: religious clerics and Sufis, feminists and fashionistas, artists and activists, hajj pilgrims and social media influencers. These stories span a vast cultural and geographic landscape-from Indonesia, Iran, and the Arab Middle East to North America. These granular case studies contextualize cyber Islam within broader social trends: racism and Islamophobia, gender dynamics, celebrity culture, identity politics, and the shifting terrain of contemporary religious piety and practice. The book's authors examine an expansive range of digital multimedia technologies as primary “texts.” These include websites, podcasts, blogs, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube channels, online magazines and discussion forums, and religious apps. The contributors also draw on a range of methodological and theoretical models from multiple academic disciplines, including communication and media studies, anthropology, history, global studies, religious studies, and Islamic studies.
Das Autorenteam formuliert eine Theorie zum Lehren und Lernen mit digitalen Medien. Ziel ist ein gleichberechtigter Zugang für alle Mediennutzenden, unabhängig von deren Medienerfahrung, -kompetenz oder Lebenshintergrund. Auf dieser Grundlage formulieren Autorin und Autor zwei Qualitätsmerkmale für eine bildungsorientierte Mediendidaktik: Die explorative Neugier durch Umgang mit Medien über Medien fördern und Medien dem eigenen Erkenntnisinteresse gemäß einsetzen. Der Ansatz "E-Inclusion" soll zu einem produktiven Fachdiskurs der Medienpädagogik aus bildungs- und diversitätssensibler Perspektive beitragen. Der Band richtet sich an Medienpädagog:innen, Lehrer:innen und Sozialarbeiter:innen sowie an alle, die sich mit dem Thema Digitalisierung in pädagogischen Kontexten beschäftigen.
The first stand-alone textbook for at least ten years on this increasingly hot topic in times of global climate change and sustainability in ecosystems. Ecological biochemistry refers to the interaction of organisms with their abiotic environment and other organisms by chemical means. Biotic and abiotic factors determine the biochemical flexibility of organisms, which otherwise easily adapt to environmental changes by altering their metabolism. Sessile plants, in particular, have evolved intricate biochemical response mechanisms to fit into a changing environment. This book covers the chemistry behind these interactions, bottom up from the atomic to the system's level. An introductory part e...
Der Band erörtert umfassend Theorien, Traditionen und Innovationen im Feld Forschenden Lernens (FL). Die Beispiele reichen von der Physik über die Psychiatrie bis hin zur Geschichtswissenschaft, Soziologie oder Psychologie – und vielen anderen Disziplinen sowie interdisziplinären Projekten – und geben Einblicke in originelle, exzellente Lehr-Lernformate sowie konkrete Veranstaltungen, die über wettbewerbliche Ausschreibungen gefördert und implementiert werden. Sie dokumentieren die faszinierende Vielfalt eines höchst dynamischen Feldes.
This practical handbook provides a clearly structured, concise and comprehensive account of the huge variety of atmospheric and related measurements relevant to meteorologists and for the purpose of weather forecasting and climate research, but also to the practitioner in the wider field of environmental physics and ecology. The Springer Handbook of Atmospheric Measurements is divided into six parts: The first part offers instructive descriptions of the basics of atmospheric measurements and the multitude of their influencing factors, fundamentals of quality control and standardization, as well as equations and tables of atmospheric, water, and soil quantities. The subsequent parts present c...
"DaF und DaZ in Zeichen von Tradition und Innovation" – so lautete das Motto der 47. Jahrestagung für Deutsch als Fremd- und Zweitsprache, die Ende März 2020 hätte stattfinden sollen. Es hat sich bereits in mehrfacher Hinsicht als passend erwiesen: So wurde die Jahrestagung kurz vor ihrer Durchführung pandemiebedingt abgesagt und nur einen Monat später – damals ganz innovativ – unter dem Namen "Marburger FaDaF-Thementage" als erste große Online-Konferenz des Fachs in den digitalen Raum überführt. Gleichzeitig ist dieser Tagungsband – ganz traditionell – der letzte, der in der Reihe "Materialien Deutsch als Fremd- und Zweitsprache" erscheint. Der Band versammelt ausgewählte...
This book presents a systemic view of the diversity of pressures and impacts produced by climate change and human actions. Erosion of biodiversity by changing ocean chemistry, the intensification of global change raises the problem of the adaptation of living resources. Land uses induce ecological imbalances leading to asphyxiation true coastal ecosystems. More than a billion tons of solid waste must be assimilated by the marine environment and food webs. Radioactive discharges emitted into the atmosphere or into the aquatic environment, raise the question of their future. Sea and Ocean series offers a transversal approach of the ocean system that leads to governance, sustainable resource management and adaptation of societies.
This textbook presents all basic principles of animal behaviour in a clear and concise manner and illustrates them with up-to-date examples. Emphasis is placed on behavioural biology as an integrative discipline of organismic biology, focusing on the adaptive value of behaviours that facilitate resource access, predator avoidance and reproductive success and underlie parental care, all within a comprehensive presentation of social complexity. This new textbook provides a rich resource for students (and teachers) from a wide range of life science disciplines.
In the current ever changing world – the liquid modernity – the most pressing psychological challenge to all of us is to create and maintain a personal balance between mental stability and mental flexibility. In Transformative Learning and Identity Knud Illeris, one of the leading thinkers on the way people learn, explores, updates and re-defines the concept and understanding of transformative learning while linking the concept of transformative learning to the concept of identity. He thoroughly discusses what transformative learning is or could be in a broader learning theoretical perspective, including various concepts of learning by change, as opposed to learning by addition, and ends...
