Die vorreformatorischen Klöster, Stifte und Konvente nahmen bei der Entstehung und dem Ausbau der schleswig- holsteinischen und hamburgischen Kulturlandschaft eine herausragende Rolle ein. Sie waren Orte der Kontemplation, der Spiritualität und Seelsorge, Stätten der Wissenschaft und des gelehrten Lebens, Impulsgeber für die agrarische Entwicklung und Besiedlung sowie für die kulturelle und künstlerische Entfaltung von Bauhütten und Werkstätten. Der vorliegende Band, hervorgegangen aus einer gleichbetitelten Tagung am 4. und 5. November 2010, widmet sich in seinen elf von ausgewiesenen Fachreferentinnen und -referenten erstellten Beiträgen dem derzeitigen Stand und den Perspektiven der Klosterforschung in den Bereichen Kirchen-, Territorial-, Wirtschafts- und Sozial-, Bibliotheks-, Kunst- und Baugeschichte sowie der Prosopographie und Epigraphik.
Mit dem neuen Buch zur Maria-Magdalenen-Kirche in Bad Bramstedt von 1316 bis heute liegt nunmehr der dritte Band in der wissenschaftlichen Reihe der „Nordelbischen Ortsgeschichten“ vor. Ein Team junger Forscherinnen und Forscher erarbeitet hierin unter Leitung von Prof. Dr. Oliver Auge und im Auftrag der Evangelisch-Lutherischen Kirchengemeinde Bad Bramstedt eine auf intensiven Quellenstudien und Literaturrecherchen fußende moderne Geschichtsdarstellung zum Gotteshaus und seiner Gemeinde. Insgesamt machen die Beiträge die lange Geschichte der Maria-Magdalenen-Kirche wieder lebendig und verdeutlichen, welchen elementaren Anteil die Kirchengeschichte an der Entwicklung des Ortes und der hier lebenden Menschen bis zum heutigen Tage hatte und hat.
Air pollution is a global threat that requires international collaboration and coordinated actions for its solution. Several international organisations have highlighted the problem and are taking action. In order to meet future challenges and develop collaboration, an international workshop was held in Göteborg 19-21 March 2018. It was the 6th in the series of the so called “Saltsjöbaden workshops” and was attended by approx. 180 participants and 20 international organisations. It was organised by the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency and the IVL Swedish Environmental Research Institute with support from the Nordic Council of Ministers and in close collaboration with and support from the UNECE Geneva Convention on Long-range Transboundary Air Pollution. The workshop ended in a set of recommendations directed to actors and processes in order to facilitate and intensify future work.
In recent years, the design of contracts in supply chains has received significant attention from researchers and practitioners. Companies try to improve their profits by designing efficient contracts that ensure a high availability of the product at a low cost. In this book the author presents a quantitative approach for designing optimal supply chain contracts. Firstly, service level contracts, which are frequently used between a supplier and a manufacturer, are analyzed. For this contract type, optimal contract parameter combinations are identified that lead to a coordinated supply chain. Secondly, an optimal contract selection strategy is developed for a supply chain where a manufacturer can choose among multiple potential buyers. Potential readership includes scholars of supply chain management and management science, graduate students interested in these areas as well as interested practitioners involved in negotiating contracts.
The search for "the face of the era" how typology influenced art of the Weimar Republic and beyond In Weimar Germany, portraits by New Objectivity artists such as Otto Dix, George Grosz, Jeanne Mammen and Hanna Nagel were a testimony to the fascination with "types." This volume explores their relevance from the 1920s to the present day, underscoring the dilemma of stereotyping individuals.
Logistics providers typically own large fleets of transportation vehicles such as rail cars or trucks. These fleets do not only determine to a large extent the service level the company can offer, but also make up a large part of total costs. Proper management of the fleet is therefore a crucial factor for these companies. In this book the author presents planning approaches that address the optimal management of vehicle fleets. Firstly, methods for determining the mixture of vehicle types and the optimal size of a fleet are developed. Secondly, approaches for supporting new service models such as customer segmentation are derived. Potential readership includes scholars and graduate students who are interested in the field of fleet planning and practitioners from logistics companies looking for new planning approaches.

This book looks at the cultural, political and economic conditions of British Euroscepticism. Focusing on eight British dystopian novels, published in the years before the decisive In/Out-Referendum, and taking into account cultural, political and economic contexts, Lisa Bischoff shows how the novels’ stance towards the integration project range from slight criticism to outright hostility. The wide availability of the novels, and the prominence of both its authors and readers, among which are political figures David Cameron, Nigel Farage and Daniel Hannan, amplify the power of literary Euroscepticism. Drawing on cultural studies, literature and social science, British Novels and the European Union reveals the many facets of British Euroscepticism.
