Children and the Good Life

In April 2009, an inspiring international conference was held at Bielefeld on the topic "Children and the Good Life: New Challenges for Research on Children." The focus was on how we can define and measure a "good life" for children growing up in the modern world. This tied in with discussions on how convincing universalistic theories are, what research on children can contribute, and how children themselves can be integrated into the research process and debates on the "good life." Discourses and the production of knowledge on the "good life" or "well-being" require a guiding idea or a theoretical frame. This frame can come from the feminist ethic of care or from the Human and Children's Rights Convention, from the idea of welfare, or from the Capability Approach.

Die besten Aktien findet man nicht im DAX

Viel zu oft konzentrieren sich Anleger auf die Unternehmen im deutschen Leitindex. Nicht erst seit dem Wirecard-Skandal bestätigt sich: Das kann ein fataler Fehler sein. Denn die Nebenwerte-Indizes MDAX, SDAX oder TecDAX sowie die internationalen Börsenplätze schlagen den DAX um Längen, wenn es um die Wertentwicklung geht. Wichtig ist aber nicht nur die richtige Wahl der Aktien, sondern auch der richtige Zeitpunkt des Kaufs und (Teil-)Verkaufs. In diesem Buch werden systematisch alle Grundsätze der Hoch-Tief-Mut-Strategie gut verständlich erklärt und mit Einblicken in das Erfolgsdepot von Beate und Uwe Sander kombiniert. Die Autoren zeigen, über welch enormes Potenzial Nebenwerte verfügen. Dabei geht es nicht nur um die Nebenwerte-Börsenbarometer. Chancenreich sind auch ausländische Aktien, Aktienfonds und die beliebten Aktienkörbe-ETFs. In Kurslisten und Auswahldepots finden Börsenneulinge und fortgeschrittene Anleger wichtige Informationen zu zukunftsfähigen Titeln. Vorsichtige ebenso wie erfolgsorientierte und risikofreudige Anleger erhalten Vorschläge für den Aufbau eines zukunftsfähigen Depots ab 5 000 Euro.

Multispecies Ethnography

How are natures and animals integrated inclusively into research projects through Multispecies Ethnography? While preceded by a vision that seeks to question holistically how scientists can integrate natures and animals into research projects through Multispecies Ethnography, this book focuses on inter- and multidisciplinary collaboration. From an examination of the interfaces between social and natural science-oriented disciplines, a complex view of natures, humans, and animals emerges. The insights into interdependencies of different disciplines illustrate the need for a Multispecies Ethnography to analyze HumansAnimalsNaturesCultures. While the methodology is innovative and currently not ...

The Book’s Road in the Age of Digitization

Although every area of life is permeated by digital processes, the majority of Germans seem to resist digital alternatives with regard to the activity of reading. The printed book continues to enjoy much greater popularity than the eBook. This seems surprising, since the entire communication behavior has moved to digital devices. So what lies behind this? Why are there still printed books in digital times? Previous studies of the printed book have focused primarily on its media future, as this seemed threatened by digitization. In this work, Janina Krieger instead examines the past from three perspectives in order to gain insights into the present. While other studies always chose one method and these mostly belonged to the quantitative approach, here three subjects are identified, which are examined with different methods and in their combination can provide an answer to the research question: the consumers of literature (the readers), literature itself (the selected genre is the novel), and the media theories of the 20th century, which have already dealt with media change.

Stabilization Policy in France and the Federal Republic of Germany

  • Publisher: Elsevier

The object of this book is to compare the macroeconomic characteristics of the French and German economies. It focusses on the effect of stabilization policy and of international disturbances and tries to find out the trade-offs of economic policy. The study is based on a simulation analysis using large-scale econometric models of the two countries. Instead of using models as black boxes the dynamic structures are compared in considerable detail. This entails decomposing the models into blocs of strategic sets of equations. Comparing bloc by bloc allows one to distinguish between the contribution of various economic processes (price-wage dynamics, monetary mechanism, multiplier-accelerator interaction) to macroeconomic performance. Main features: Franco-German comparison of macroeconomic response to policy measures and international shocks; Evaluation of policy trade-offs; Detailed institutional and historical background to macro-policy in France and Germany.

International Handbook of Violence Research

An international manual is like a world cruise: a once-in-a-lifetime experience. All the more reason to consider carefully whether it is necessary. This can hardly be the case if previous research in the selected field has already been the subject of an earlier review-or even several competing surveys. On the other hand, more thorough study is necessary if the intensity and scope of research are increasing without comprehensive assessments. That was the situation in Western societies when work began on this project in the summer of 1998. It was then, too, that the challenges emerged: any manual, espe cially an international one, is a very special type of text, which is anything but routine. ...

Information Fusion and Geographic Information Systems

These Proceedings of the Third International Workshop introduce research results in the areas of information integration, development of GIS and GIS-applications for a wide spectrum of information systems varying considerably in purpose and scale. The new class of GIS - intelligent GIS - is considered, including principles of their building and programming technologies. Special attention is drawn to the development of ontologies and their use in GIS and GIS-applications.
