Vier Tore. Drei Wölfe. Zwei Leben. Ein Jahr. Thomas führt ein ganz normales Leben im mecklenburgischen Neubrandenburg - oder zumindest so normal, wie es für einen unter Menschen lebenden Wolf geht. Alles ändert sich, als er nach zehn Jahren auf andere seiner Art trifft. Gemeinsam stellen sie sich gegen Bürokratie und Vorurteile und lernen mehr darüber, was es bedeutet, ein Werwolf zu sein. In ihrer unerwarteten Freundschaft finden sie dabei einen Zusammenhalt, der ihnen lange Zeit gefehlt hat.
'Weihnachten ist ein Gefühl, ganz tief in uns drin.' Ein sprechender Lebkuchenmann mit buntem Federhut? Ein chaotischer Wichtel, der deine Geschenke stiehlt? Und ein Schneemann, der fröhlich durch die Gegend hüpft? Wenn all das passiert, dann weißt du: Die Magie der Weihnachtszeit ist zurück! Begleite Fiona durch zauberhafte, funkelnde Weihnachtswelten, in denen es nach Tannen und frisch gebackenen Plätzchen duftet. Und spitze die Ohren, wenn sie den Weihnachtshelfern ihre Geheimnisse entlockt. Ein Adventskalender mit 24 Kurzgeschichten zum Vorlesen ab 4 Jahren
This paper studies the determinants of foreign land acquisition for large-scale agriculture. To do so, gravity models are estimated using data on bilateral investment relationships, together with newly constructed indicators of agro-ecological suitability in areas with low population density as well as indicators of land rights security. Results confirm the central role of agro-ecological potential as a pull factor. In contrast to the literature on foreign investment in general, the quality of the business climate is insignificant whereas weak land governance and tenure security for current users make countries more attractive for investors. Implications for policy are discussed.

Recent advances in the area of lifted inference, which exploits the structure inherent in relational probabilistic models. Statistical relational AI (StaRAI) studies the integration of reasoning under uncertainty with reasoning about individuals and relations. The representations used are often called relational probabilistic models. Lifted inference is about how to exploit the structure inherent in relational probabilistic models, either in the way they are expressed or by extracting structure from observations. This book covers recent significant advances in the area of lifted inference, providing a unifying introduction to this very active field. After providing necessary background on probabilistic graphical models, relational probabilistic models, and learning inside these models, the book turns to lifted inference, first covering exact inference and then approximate inference. In addition, the book considers the theory of liftability and acting in relational domains, which allows the connection of learning and reasoning in relational domains.
The Oxford Handbook of Cognitive and Behavioral Therapies provides a contemporary and comprehensive illustration of the wide range of evidence-based psychotherapy tools available to both clinicians and researchers. Chapters are written by the most prominent names in cognitive and behavioral theory, assessment, and treatment, and they provide valuable insights concerning the theory, development, and future directions of cognitive and behavioral interventions. Unlike other handbooks that provide a collection of intervention chapters but do not successfully tie these interventions together, the editors have designed a volume that not only takes the reader through underlying theory and philosoph...
