Diplomarbeit aus dem Jahr 2009 im Fachbereich BWL - Rechnungswesen, Bilanzierung, Steuern, Note: 1,0, Bayerische Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg (Lehrstuhl für Betriebswirtschaftslehre und betriebswirtschaftliche Steuerlehre), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die Untersuchung ökonomischer Fragestellungen in Laborexperimenten nahm in den letzten zwei Jahrzehnten fortwährend zu. Die experimentelle Wirtschaftsforschung ermöglicht es, das Verhalten von Wirtschaftssubjekten in bestimmten ökonomischen Situationen zu beobachten, wobei Störgrößen im Labor relativ gut kontrolliert werden können.1 Bisherige Laborexperimente zu steuerlichen Themen beschäftigten sich hauptsächlich mit de...
This book summarizes what is known about mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs) geographically and by major taxa. MCEs are characterized by light-dependent corals and associated communities typically found at depths ranging from 30-40 m. and extending to over 150 m. in tropical and subtropical ecosystems. They are populated with organisms typically associated with shallow coral reefs, such as macroalgae, corals, sponges, and fishes, as well as specialist species unique to mesophotic depths. During the past decade, there has been an increasing scientific and management interest in MCEs expressed by the exponential increase in the number of publications studying this unique environment. Despite th...
This collection of papers presents some recent trends in metaphor studies that propose new directions of research on the embodied cognition perspective. The overall volume, in particular, shows how the embodied cognition still remains a relevant approach in a multidisciplinary research on the communicative side of metaphors, by focusing on both comprehension processes in science as well as learning processes in education.
Video study is a complex methodological approach, which enables the employing of various strategies, methods or techniques for generating, collecting and analysing video data, i.e. audiovisual data grounded in rich situational contexts. Section I focuses on the power of video to describe the dynamics of teaching and learning in the classroom. It presents various video studies conducted in the past fifteen years that aimed to describe the practices of teaching. Section II focuses on the use of video in investigating the effects of teaching on student learning. The chapters present approaches that build on video studies in order to link data about classroom processes with data about learning outcomes. The chapters in section III discuss possibilities offered by the use of video in professional development of teachers.

Inner Speech focuses on a familiar and yet mysterious element of our daily lives. In light of renewed interest in the general connections between thought, language, and consciousness, this anthology develops a number of important new theories about internal voices and raises questions about their nature and cognitive functions.
The miracle of children's language development and the joy of expressive language on the one hand and the vulnerability of language and the sorrow and grief caused by its distortion or even loss in people with aphasia or dementia on the other hand show us the inseparability of emotion and language in its extremes. Although the ‘emotional turn’ promised a paradigmatic shift from a rationalistic towards an emotion-integrating conceptualization of language, hardly any interdisciplinary research has focused on the interplay between emotion and language. The present book covers the wide range of work on Emotion in Language with contributions from numerous disciplines in the three areas of Theory, Research, and Application. With contributions both from well-known pioneers in the area of this topic as well as from young scientists, the book offers a broad range of perspectives from linguistics and language development to neurology, psychology and developmental neuropsychology and to the fields of philosophy and phenomenology.
Knowledge management (KM) is frequently presented as a recent development born entirely of the business world. However, the intellectual origins of knowledge management are both deeper and broader than have been posited in the literature to date. Influences of philosophy, economics, education, psychology, information and communication theory, and library and information studies have been almost completely overlooked. This book links current and historical works to the development of knowledge management across domains and disciplines to give students and scholars a deeper appreciation of the origins of KM and a better understanding of its intellectual origins, its concepts, and principles. Through his thorough and critical examination of historical and more recent classic works, Wallace demystifies this important, emerging area of study. An essential and fascinating read for LIS faculty, students, and practitioners; required reading for courses in Knowledge Management.
René Angelstein zeigt auf, inwieweit das Deutsche Hochschulrecht, konkret das Hochschulzugangs- und Hochschulzulassungsrecht, soziale Ungleichheit im Hochschulzugang wenn nicht verstärkt, so doch verstetigt. Er legt dar, dass das Recht mit der formalen Gleichbehandlung wesentliche klassenspezifische Momente ignoriert, welche soziale Ungleichheiten begründen. Als grundlegende gesellschaftstheoretische Reflexion zieht der Autor die Theorie von Pierre Bourdieu heran.
