Wortlaut, der FM4 Kurzgeschichtenwettbewerb, startet wieder und heuer wird das "scharf". Von der scharfen Person zum scharfen Chilli, von scharfen Krallen zum scharfen Messer, vom scharfen Verstand zum scharfen Wind, vom scharfen Hund zum scharfen Gestank, vom scharfen Foto zum scharfen Blick. Von der Politik, in der ständig etwas "aufs Schärfste" abgelehnt wird, zu Ibiza. FM4 bietet allen Schreibenden die Chance, sich in kurzer Form literarisch über das Thema "SCHARF" auszulassen. Die redaktionelle Vorjury wählt aus den cirka 600 Einreichungen 20 Texte aus, die anonymisiert an die hochkarätige Jury weitergegeben werden. Diese kürt dann die Gewinner*innen, die zehn besten Beiträge schaffen es in die Anthologie FM4 Wortlaut 23. SCHARF. Und scharf auf die Kurzgeschichten ist auch die Jury: Didi Drobna (Schriftstellerin) Elias Hirschl (Autor und Musiker) Anna Mabo (Musikerin und Regisseurin) Eva Scheidweiler (Gewinnerin Wortlaut 2022) Michael Stavarič (Autor und Übersetzer)

This book analyzes Bas van Fraassen’s characterization of representation and models in science. In this regard, it presents the philosophical coordinates of his approach and pays attention to his structural empiricism as a framework for his views on scientific representations and models. These are developed here through two new contributions made by van Fraassen. In addition, there are analyses of the relation between models and reality in his approach, where the complexity of this conception is considered in detail. Furthermore, there is an examination of scientific explanation and epistemic values judgments. This volume includes a wealth of bibliographical information on his philosophy a...
Performance management is the process by which organizations set goals, determine standards, assign and evaluate work, and distribute rewards. But when you operate across different countries and continents, performance management strategies cannot be one dimensional. HR managers and line managers need systems that can be applied to a range of cultural values. This important and timely text offers a truly global perspective on performance management practices. Split into two parts, it illustrates the key themes of rater motivation, rater-ratee relationships and merit pay, and outlines a model for a global appraisal process. This model is then screened through a range of countries, including Germany, Japan, the US, Turkey, China, India and Mexico. Using case studies and discussion questions, and written by local experts, this text outlines the tools needed to understand and ‘measure’ performance in a range of socio-economic and cultural contexts. It is essential reading for students and practitioners alike working in human resources, international business and international management.
This book comprehensively reviews the application of nanoparticles in cancer diagnosis and treatment. The introductory section provides a fundamental understanding of cancer biology, its global incidence and prevalence, and the intricate nano–bio interactions at the cellular level.
