A Criteria Based Literature Research - Approaches, Achievements and Experiences of the Concept of Cultural Diversity in Multicultural Organizations
Inhaltsangabe:Introduction: These days a current newspaper without an article in the business section covering the issue of globalization and the effects involved is unthinkable. Due to that fact, cultural diversity is often mentioned, and its presence within the media grows increasingly as does its value within our society as well as in our policies and economy. The globalization of markets and companies has been the driving force of change over the past decade. Its process affects every nation worldwide and represents a challenge because worldwide competition between national economies is engendering and the degree of international intertwining is increasing.Consequently, the current trend...
Photomorphogenesis in Plants and Bacteria
Plants as sessile organisms have evolved fascinating capacities to adapt to changes in their natural environment. Arguably, light is by far the most important and variable environmental factor. The quality, quantity, direction and duration of light is monitored by a series of photoreceptors covering spectral information from UVB to near infrared. The response of the plants to light is called photomorphogenesis and it is regulated by the concerted action of photoreceptors. The combined techniques of action spectroscopy and biochemistry allowed one of the important photoreceptors – phytochrome – to be identified in the middle of the last century. An enormous number of physiological studies published in the last century describe the properties of phytochrome and its function and also the physiology of blue and UV-B photoreceptors, unidentified at the time. This knowledge was summarized in the advanced textbook “Photomorphogenesis in Plants” (Kendrick and Kronenberg, eds., 1986, 1994). With the advent of molecular biology, genetics and new molecular, cellular techniques, our knowledge in the field of photomorphogenesis has dramatically increased over the last 15 years.
The Legitimacy of Standardisation as a Regulatory Technique
This timely book examines the field of European and global standardisation, showing how standards give rise to a multitude of different legal questions. It explores diverse topics in regulation such as food safety, accounting, telecommunications and medical devices. Each chapter offers in-depth analysis of a number of key policy areas. These multi-disciplinary contributions go beyond the field of law, and provide cross-disciplinary comparisons.
The Governance of Knowledge
Social surveillance and regulation of knowledge will be one of the most important issues in the near future, one that will give rise to unending controversy. In The Governance of Knowledge, Nico Stehr predicts that such concerns will create a new political field, namely, knowledge policy, which will entail regulating dissemination of the anticipated results of rapidly increasing knowledge. The number and range of institutionalized standards for monitoring new knowledge has hitherto been relatively small. Only in cases of technological applications has social control, in the form of political regulation, so far intervened. All modern societies today have complex regulations and extensive conc...

C.R.E.D.O.
In der Vergangenheit brachte die Science-Fiction einige herausragende Werke hervor, die die religiöse Thematik aufgriffen. Die bekanntesten sind wahrscheinlich »A Cantacle for Leibowitz« von Walter M. Miller jr., Michael Moorcocks »I.N.R.I.« oder Gore Vidals »Messias«. Dass STAR WARS mit der »Macht« eine religiöse Konnotation hat, liegt auf der Hand. STAR TREKs »Deep Space Nine« nutzt eine stark religiös und spirituell ausgerichtete Kultur als Handlungselement: die Bajoraner. Ein ähnlicher, wenn auch deutlich pantheistischerer Ansatz prägt die »Avatar«-Filme der jüngeren Vergangenheit. Trotz der »Science« im Namen des Genres scheint kein Widerspruch zu existieren, obwohl ...
