Sustainable Land Use and Rural Development in Southeast Asia: Innovations and Policies for Mountainous Areas
This book is based on the findings of a long-term (2000-2014) interdisciplinary research project of the University of Hohenheim in collaboration with several universities in Thailand and Vietnam. Titled Sustainable Land Use and Rural Development in Mountainous Areas in Southeast Asia, or the Uplands Program, the project aims to contribute through agricultural research to the conservation of natural resources and the improvement of living conditions of the rural population in the mountainous regions of Southeast Asia. Having three objectives the book first aims to give an interdisciplinary account of the drivers, consequences and challenges of ongoing changes in mountainous areas of Southeast Asia. Second, the book describes how innovation processes can contribute to addressing these challenges and third, how knowledge creation to support change in policies and institutions can assist in sustainably develop mountain areas and people’s livelihoods.
Proprium als Problem?
Katholische Hochschulen stehen im Spannungsfeld zwischen Chancen durch Alleinstellung und Risiken durch ihre Kirchenzugehörigkeit. Mit Blick auf ihr Managementgeschehen untersucht Samuel Scherer, ob ihre Strukturen und Prozesse in Verbindung mit den von ihnen kommunizierten Werten stehen. Als theoretische Bezüge nutzt er neben Luhmanns Systemtheorie die Organisationsethik nach Heller und Krobath und entwickelt ein Selbstbewertungsinstrument in der Logik des EFQM-Modells. Damit regt er eine Reflexion entsprechend der Organisationsethik an und ermöglicht Organisationen, eine Standortbestimmung ihres eigenen ethischen Reifegrades vorzunehmen.
Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions
Healthcare providers, consumers, researchers and policy makers are inundated with unmanageable amounts of information, including evidence from healthcare research.

The Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions contains methodological guidance for the preparation and maintenance of Cochrane intervention revie...

Brunei
Now an energy-rich sultanate, for centuries a important trading port in the South China Sea, Brunei has taken a different direction than its Persian Gulf peers. Immigration is restricted, and Brunei’s hydrocarbon wealth is invested conservatively, mostly outside the country. Today home to some 393,000 inhabitants and comprising 5,765 square kilometers in area, Brunei first appears in the historical record at the end of the 10th century. After the Spanish attack of 1578, Brunei struggled to regain and expand its control on coastal West Borneo and to remain within the trading networks of the South China Sea. It later fell under British sway, and a residency was established in 1906, but it to...
