This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 13th IFIP WG 8.9 Working Conference on Research and Practical Issues of Enterprise Information Systems, CONFENIS 2019, held in Prague, Czech Republic, in December 2019. The 11 full and 2 short papers included in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 43 submissions. They were organized in topical sections named: EIS and industry; technical architecture and applications for EIS; collaborative networks and project management; and security and privacy issues.
Housing matters to people, be they owner, renter, housing provider, homeless individual, housing professional, or policymaker. Housing in the United States: The Basics offers an accessible introduction to key concepts and issues in housing—and a concise overview of the programs that affect housing choices, affordability, and access in the United States today. Part I covers the fundamentals of housing: households, housing units, and neighborhoods; housing as basic need vs. human right; supply and demand; construction, rehabilitation, and renovation; and demographic, socioeconomic, and cultural trends. Part II focuses on housing policy and its evolution from the early 20th century, through t...
Ever since 9/11 the legal classification of transnational conflicts between states and non-state armed groups, such as Al Qaeda, has become a highly debated topic. While repeatedly referred to as the War on Terror, the legal qualification of the conflict between the US and Al Qaeda remains controversial: US military operations in Afghanistan against Al Qaeda and the use of drones against alleged terrorists in Pakistan, Yemen and other states pose the question as to whether this conflict truly qualifies as one single global war. Similarly, transnational conflicts such as the Colombian operation against a FARC base in Ecuador, Israel’s fight against Hezbollah in Lebanon, and Turkish operatio...
No other official record or group of records is as historically significant as the 1790 census of the United States. The original 1790 enumerations covered the present states of Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vermont, and Virginia. Unfortunately, not all the schedules have survived, the returns for the states of Delaware, Georgia, Kentucky, New Jersey, Tennessee, and Virginia having been lost or destroyed, possibly when the British burned the Capitol at Washington during the War of 1812, though there seems to be no proof for this. For Virginia...
Die Arbeit behandelt am Beispiel der Verfahren gegen ehemalige Angehörige der Sicherheitspolizei für den Bezirk Bialystok die Strafverfolgung von NS-Verbrechen durch die westdeutsche Justiz. Die Organisation der Deportationen im Jahr 1943 aus den jüdischen Ghettos des deutsch besetzten nordostpolnischen Bezirks in die Vernichtungslager Auschwitz und Treblinka war Gegenstand eines Strafprozesses vor dem Schwurgericht in Bielefeld. Die Angeklagten wurden am 14. April 1967 wegen ihrer Beteiligung an den Deportationen aus Bialystok und Grodno der "gemeinschaftlichen Beihilfe zum gemeinschaftlichen Mord" an mehreren tausend Juden schuldig gesprochen. Der ehemalige Kommandeur der Sicherheitspol...

Metal contamination is an increasing ecological and eco-toxicological risk. Understanding the processes involved in metal mobilization, sorption and mineralization in soils are key features for soil bioremediation. Following an introduction to the physical, chemical and biological components of contaminated soils, various chapters address the interactions of soil, microorganisms, plants and the water phase necessary to transfer metals into biological systems. These include topics such as potential hazards at mining sites; rare earth elements in biotic and abiotic acidic systems; manganese redox reactions; biomineralisation, uranium in seepage water; metal-resistant streptomycetes; mycorrhiza in re-forestation; metal (hyper)accummulation in plants; microbial metal uptake; and their potential for bioremediation. This book will be of interest to soil biologists, geologists and chemists, researchers and graduate students, as well as consulting companies and small enterprises involved in bioremediation.
