Master's Thesis from the year 2014 in the subject Earth Science / Geography - Geopolitics, grade: 2,0, Charles University in Prague, course: Geopolitik, language: English, abstract: In 1989-1990 the communist rule in Central and Eastern Europe collapsed, opening up the road to democracy, came about by means of mass demonstrations, the first of which took place in Plauen (GDR) on 7 October 1989. Only a few months later, no-one could be sure how the world would develop. The so-called ‘voice’ was followed by ‘exit’ in the German Democratic Republic – and the Czechoslovakians were close to the events taking place in the embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany in Prague. The end of t...
Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2010 im Fachbereich Politik - Politische Theorie und Ideengeschichte, Note: 1,3, Technische Universität Chemnitz (Institut für Politikwissenschaft), Veranstaltung: Liberalismus und Neoliberalismus, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die aktuelle Finanz- und Wirtschaftskrise könnte als Auslöser dafür angesehen werden, über eine Neuordnung, oder – zumindest – über eine Neuorientierung der bestehenden ökonomischen Verhältnisse öffentlich zu diskutieren. Doch ein neuer Geist, der eine Umwälzung der ordnungspolitischen Strukturen in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland maßgeblich vorantreibt, scheint nicht existent und die „Systemfrage“ somit (noch) umgänglich. ...
Bachelorarbeit aus dem Jahr 2012 im Fachbereich Politik - Politisches System Deutschlands, Note: 2,0, Technische Universität Chemnitz (Institut für Politikwissenschaft), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Da in der wissenschaftlichen Forschung dem Aspekt der Transformation von Medienlandschaften bisher nur wenig Aufmerksamkeit geschenkt worden ist, versucht diese Arbeit, eine Lücke zu schließen. Dafür wurde explizit die "Junge Welt" ausgewählt, da sich diese einst von der auflagenstärksten Tageszeitung in der Deutschen Demokratischen Republik – noch vor dem "Neuen Deutschland" – als Zentralorgan der FDJ hin zu einer marginalisierten linksextremistischen Tageszeitung im vereinten Deutschl...
Hinter der glitzernden Fassade des Profifußballs brodelt es. Fans fühlen sich entmündigt und schikaniert, die Proteste gegen Kommerzialisierung und Kollektivstrafen nehmen an Vehemenz zu und werden längst nicht nur von Ultras getragen. An der Basis, von den Amateurvereinen bis zur 3. Liga, wächst die Wut auf Verbände, die sich nur noch um die Branchenriesen kümmern. Und vor der Tür lauern Veränderungen, die das Ende des Volkssports Fußball einläuten. Christoph Ruf hat mit Fans, Funktionären und Trainern gesprochen. Sein Fazit: Der deutsche Fußball sägt gerade den Ast ab, auf dem er sitzt.
Since publication of the 4th Edition of The Autoimmune Diseases in 2006, the understanding of the immune mechanisms underlying autoimmunity and autoimmune disease has significantly deepened and broadened.

To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the discovery of Natural Killer (NK) cells, this volume focuses on the recent advances in our understanding of NK cell development and differentiation and their acquisition of functional properties, as well as the latest models for NK-cell analysis in mice and applications in clinical medicine. NK cells have travelled a circuitous path from their initial description as ‘spontaneous killers’ (for some simply an experimental artifact) to being a bona fide subset of innate lymphoid cells with a complementary mode of action in immune defense and an important mediator of immune reactivity in health and disease. Together, these reviews provide a timely and concise picture of the evolution of NK cells as essential agents in immunity and as potent weapons against disease. This book offers an appealing and insightful resource for scientists and clinicians.

This book brings together the research fields of start-up ecosystems and diaspora entrepreneurship. The author interprets the results of semi-structured interviews with four diaspora entrepreneurs and four experts in Berlin, as well as observations from field studies and the analysis of secondary sources. The findings prove impacts of diaspora ventures on the dynamics of the Berlin start-up ecosystem and are applied to a modified version of the ANDE toolkit. Identified domains of the start-up ecosystem Berlin are demonstrated. Berlin is among the top locations of start-up activities world-wide and currently the most dynamic ecosystem globally.
