The articles by official representatives of the different European institutions inform about the facts of day-to-day interpretation and translation in Brussels, Luxembourg and Strasbourg. Experts discuss translation and interpretation under various general aspects including a historical perspective.

The suggestions for materials design in this book will help teachers to meet the needs of advanced learners, to move from correct sentences to communicatively effective texts, to de-fossilize ingrained erroneous language, to apply theoretical understandings of communicative processes to language use and to become aware of their own language needs and the learning options open to them. This is a book that is not only firmly grounded in 'state-of-the-art' linguistic theory in particular, the findings of cognitive linguistics but it is, above all, the result of decades of collaborative English language teaching experience at tertiary level. All the design ideas have been put into practice in the classroom and have successfully passed the test of use. ISBN 9783631582886 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 205.

Diese Frage stand 2009 im Mittelpunkt der Workshop-Tagung «Building Cultures of Peace» an der Universität Hamburg. Drei bekannte Experten der Friedens- und Konfliktarbeit Jay Rothman und Vamik Volkan aus den USA sowie Sami Adwan aus Palästina gaben in Intensiv-Workshops Einblicke in die Theorie und Praxis ihrer Arbeit. 100 Teilnehmer/-innen nutzten die Veranstaltung, um ihre Kenntnisse und ihr Verständnis der Entwicklung und Bewältigung ethno-politischer Konflikte zu erweitern. Dieses zweiteilige Buch dokumentiert den Ertrag der Veranstaltung: die Vorträge der Experten sowie zahlreiche Essays der Teilnehmenden in englischer und deutscher Sprache. Die beiden Buchteile enthalten verschiedene Themen. Es lohnt sich daher, in beiden zu blättern. What to do as a mediator when conflicts between groups or states escalated to become a tangible conflict of collective identities? This question was the focus of the workshop conference «Building Cultures of Peace» 2009 at the University of Hamburg. Three well-known experts on peace and conflict work Jay Rothman and Vamik Volkan from the U.S. and Sami Adwan of Palestine gave a look into the theory and practice of their work in intensive workshops. 100 participants used the event to expand their knowledge and understanding of the development and management of ethno-political conflicts. This two-part book documents the gains of the event: the lectures of the experts as well as numerous essays by the participants in English and German. The two parts contain different topics. It is therefore worthwhile to browse through both of them. ISBN 9783631605813 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 295.

Ein tadelloses Exemplar. - En captivité en Allemagne, après la prison à Metz, Robert Schuman confiait en 1942 : « Les frontières qui nous séparent ne doivent pas être la barrière entre des peuples foncièrement différents les uns des autres, mais le lien entre les hommes qui, en fin de compte, n'ont jamais été eux-mêmes à l'origine des conflagrations ». Paul Collowald, homme des frontières ayant subi l'annexion de l'Alsace et de la Moselle par le régime nazi, a résisté contre les atteintes à la dignité humaine. Une fois la guerre gagnée, il s'engage pour gagner la paix. En 1949, journaliste à Strasbourg, il rencontre le ministre des Affaires étrangères Schuman et sa vie en sera bouleversée. Il vouera désormais sa passion de l'information à la cause européenne. Faire comprendre la complexité et les exigences d'une Europe à unir, aussi bien pour les journalistes que le grand public, Paul Collowald l'assumera en tant que porte-parole des vice-présidents successifs de la Commission Robert Marjolin puis Raymond Barre. Directeur à la direction générale de l'information ensuite, il terminera sa carrière au Parlement Européen comme directeur général de l'information. Tout au long de sa vie, il s'est appuyé sur les principes énoncés par Schuman dans sa Déclaration du 9 mai 1950 pour expliquer l'ouverture des frontières et la liberté de circulation, les nouvelles solidarités entre les États et les peuples et l'élargissement de l'Europe qui devait s'accompagner de son approfondissement. Résister, s'engager, parler de l'Europe à unir, oser le saut dans l'inconnu de la Déclaration Schuman. Le réinventer face aux enjeux d'aujourd'hui. Cette biographie de Paul Collowald retrace le parcours d'un homme qui a fait bien plus que de franchir les frontières entre Strasbourg, Bruxelles et Luxembourg. Avec d'autres de sa génération qui reprennent vie dans ce récit, connus ou méconnus, il a uvré pour jeter des ponts afin de les dépasser.

For the empirical analysis, the author compiled a corpus, which allows statements about a medium- and genre-specific use of general nouns. For this purpose, she developed an analytical tool, which takes into account formal and semantic features. The major outcome of the corpus analysis is that general nouns are much more flexible in form and function than Halliday/Hasan assumed and, most importantly, that they fulfil genre-specific functions some of which have not systematically been associated with lexical cohesion.

And moreover to deal with humanitarian issues such as peace, integration, immigration and peacefully living together as well as providing long-term perspectives for changes and promotion of peaceful change in society. The study breaks down the barriers and leads the readers to go beyond the borders. The components of the project are all focused on the sociological issues like immigration, isolation and integration. The method, which has been used, is a new kind of way to investigate sociological phenomena and interpret them in a manner which provides the background of challenges in a concrete and uncomplicated way with emotion and reality. The theoretic motto is: «Science for all». The project is particularly applicable for anthropologists, ethnologists, sociologists and philologists. - Contents: Parti -- The Dreams and Nightmares of a Refugee Teacher in Europe -- Chapter 1 The Search for Hope -- Chapter 2 Buon Giomo Italia -- Chapter 3 Dreams and Fears -- Chapter 4 Welcome to Vienna Comrade -- Chapter 5 Vienna Round -- Chapter 6 Request for Asylum -- Chapter 7 Going for a Walk in the Rain -- Chapter 8 Home, Sweet Home -- Chapter 9 Vienna is calm and quiet like the Danube -- Dear Neighbor -- Chapter 10 Seeking Shelter at Noah's Ark -- Chapter 11 With or without Hot? -- Chapter 12 The Followers of Noah - Chapter 13 Beauty and Diversity -- Chapter 14 Visit to the Mosque -- Chapter 15 Visit to the Monastery -- Chapter 16 My Road Map -- Chapter 17 The Abduction from the Seraglio -- Dejà vu -- Chapter 18 Dreams and Reality -- Chapter 19 The Last Mohicans against Globalization -- Chapter 20 Globalization and Freedom -- Chapter 21 Birthday Party -- Halloween -- Chapter 22 Manuela -- Chapter 23 Casablanca -- Little Polar Bear -- My Chcemy Chleba Naszych Dla Dzieci -- Chapter 24 The Accident -- Chapter 25 Mr. AKH and a Piece of Sky -- Chapter 26 The Migratory Birds' Hypothesis -- Integration -- The Whole World is Your Homeland -- Chapter 27 Holidays in the Mountains -- Time to Go On -- The Mountains and the Hope -- Silence of the Mountains -- Meditation -- The Mountains and the Stars -- Farewell to the Mountains -- Chapter 28 Adios Manuela -- Chapter 29 The Court Process -- The Ship without a Compass -- Chapter 30 The Secret of Pinocchio -- Chapter 31 Russian Roulette -- Chapter 32 Life is like a River -- Chapter 33 Dreams and Tears.

It describes what is happening to these children and young refugees in terms of their schooling.

A collaborative action of society the refugee families, the schools, the communities, the host state, the international aid agencies and the rest of the world in addressing the barriers to education and schooling of the refugee children must break ground and be sustained. - Contents: Chapter One: Geopolitics, Middle East Conflicts, Communities, Refugees and Children -- Chapter Two: Refugees in Lebanon: The Context -- Chapter Three: The Provision of Schooling and Challenges for Education for Refugees Inside and Outside Camps in Lebanon -- Chapter Four: Children's Experiences -- Chapter Five: Parents' Concerns Regarding Schooling -- Chapter Six: Teachers' Perspectives and Challenges -- Chapter Seven: Community Concerns and Responses -- Chapter Eight: The State and Policy Support -- General Conclusion.

The central scholarly section likewise consists of three parts. The papers dealing with proverbs examine them as patterns, stereotypes, rhetorical devices, media for self-enchantment, and means of allusion in works by Tolstoy, Solzhenitsyn, Chukovskaya, and Kempowski. A second group deals with fairy-tale motifs in literary works by Lehmann, Rabinowich, and Hummel. A third section includes topics ranging from James Bond to Stephen King, from runaway slaves to the Holocaust, and literature as cultural ecology. - Contents: Contributions for Wolfgang Mieder as Mentor -- Gideon Bavly, Adriana Borra, Antonello Borra, Roger Cooke, Heike Doane, Lesley-Ann Dupigny-Giroux, Marc Estrin, Leesa Guay-Timpson, TheresiaHoeck, Julia Katsnelson, Kate Kenny, Richard Langston, Ilka Maria Pritchard, Annegret Schmitt-Johnson, Bridget Swanson, Clifford Timpson, Brian T.

Ein tadelloses Exemplar. - A long history of poverty, discrimination, colonialism and struggle for social justice has provided, over the last fifty years, the context for the development of a vast amount of critical scholarship targeting marginalization in Brazil: Freireian pedagogics, theology of liberation, critical sociology, anthropology and ethnomathematics, critical social psychology and discourse analysis. Most of this scholarship has unfortunately been accessible only to the Portuguese-speaking readership. This volume presents, for the first time to an international audience, the novel understandings of critical research that have emerged in this frame. While Brazil is entering a new phase of socio-economic and political turmoil, distinguished representatives of the various critical research traditions from all over Brazil explore the voices and practices of those who are usually hardly heard: the helpless, the mentally ill, the landless, the homeless, the voiceless youth, delinquents, indigenous people, the powerless. The volume proposes original theoretical tools and arguments that can inspire social-scientific discussions on facing poverty and marginalization not only with regard to Brazil, but also other parts of the world. It is the first book of its kind in English and a unique tool for undergraduate and graduate students, researchers and specialists across the social sciences. - Contents: (Post)Critical Global Studies-.

A panel data analysis is developed to find out the relation between different types of leverage ratios and asset growth of banks. Furthermore, possible impacts of bank specific and macroeconomic variables on the bank capital structure are discussed. The book concludes that the leverage of Turkish banks is procyclical, which is the outcome of a positive relation between asset growth and leverage. The procyclical leverage could contribute to higher instability in the financial sector and the overall economy. Therefore, further regulations are assumed to be necessary. Size, profit, number of banks, inflation, exchange rate, and gross domestic product are the factors that affect Turkish banks' capital structure.

Gerade im Superwahljahr 2009 erlebt das Thema eine ungeahnte Renaissance. Vertreter der unterschiedlichsten Parteien und Institutionen melden sich zu Wort. Niemand jedoch scheint zu berücksichtigen, dass Deutschland das Rad nicht neu zu erfinden braucht. Schließlich haben seit 1990 insgesamt 17 Nato-Länder die Wehrpflicht abgeschafft. Alle haben positive und negative Erfahrungen gemacht. Daraus sollten wir lernen und unsere Schlüsse ziehen. Und gegenwärtig kann der einzige Schluss nur lauten: Ja, wir brauchen die Wehrpflicht. Sie «über Nacht» oder ad hoc abzuschaffen, wäre genau das Falsche. Jedoch muss sie dringend weiterentwickelt werden und besser an den Mann gebracht werden. Ansonsten droht ihre Abschaffung.

A perfect copy. - Summary: Public administration has traditionally been characterised with such bureaucratic features as hierarchical and formalised organisational structure, clear and rigid career paths, lifetime tenure, full-time employment, principle of seniority, advantageous pension schemes and rigid remuneration systems. These features were introduced in late 19th century to reduce the risk of excessive political influence, corruption, misconduct and instability of government. Today, however, numerous administrative and managerial reforms are affecting these longstanding aspects of public employment. Size and composition of workforce, its working and employment conditions, nature of work, and values and legal status are all undergoing a process of change. The various reforms are also gradually shrinking the size of central public administrations of the EU-27 Member States. They are becoming more decentralised and fragmented, more diversified, more aligned and less specific. The on-going financial crisis and the introduction of hasty austerity measures have a strong impact on the public workforce in most EU Member States. So far, restructuring programmes and effects of austerity measures have not been a subject of rigorous scrutiny. Similarly, the effects of public management reforms have not been studied either and have resulted in national administrations having no longer a single coherent framework. Filling this important gap, this comparative study attempts to assess the effects of these developments in public employment in the central public administrations of the EU Member States offering insight into the future of public employment. - Contents: 1 Introduction -- 2 Methodology -- 3 Definition of status in the Member States of the EU - 3.1 Public law status - 3.2 Status as social or professional standing - 3.3 Status as public service ethos - 3.4 Conclusions -- 4 Status in a time perspective: reform factors and reform pressures - 4.1 Status in a historical context -- 4.2 From public administration to public management and governance: implications for the public status - 4.3 Change of work and work ethos - from status to virtual workplaces - 4.4 Governance and public employment restructuring: new instruments, what effects? -- 5 Change of employment and employment conditions -- 6 Restructuring public workforce and the impact of austerity measures: towards a new employment structure? -- 7 Trend towards more flexible employment features and its impact on central public administration -- 8 EU law: limits to flexibility and flexible employment contracts -- 9 Future relationship between civil servants and other public employees -- 9.1 Distinction between civil servants and other public employees - 9.2 Sectors o f civil service employment - 9.3 Reserve of certain functions to civil servants: a new blurring of boundaries -- 10 Conclusions.

A perfect copy. - Summary: The book offers a comparative analysis of diverse Darwinism-inspired discourses such as post-modern novels, science fiction, popular science and nature films. Analysing the uses of the evolutionary discourse in recent literature and films, the study demonstrates how natural science influences the contemporary humanities and how literary conventions are used to make scientific and popular-science texts intelligible and attractive.

Broschur. Condizione: Wie neu. viii, 256 Seiten ; 26 cm, Tadelloses, neuwertiges Exemplar. - Many students today have to grapple with questions such as What am I very good at? and What are my strengths and how can I use them for a better life? These are central questions for us as learners, employees, family members, friends and thriving individuals in general. An inquiry into our skills helps us discover our potentialities and the talents we need in order to create a fulfilling life. As a result, it assists us in successfully finding the right role for ourselves in society. Skills: A Practical Guide in Conversation, Vocabulary and Writing is intended to take learners on a reflective skill-investigative journey, in which speaking and writing about skills is both self-exploratory and fun. This book offers a more reflective approach to thinking and talking about skills. Learners will become well-equipped with knowledge and understanding of a set of skills they can ascribe to themselves and others. This will, consequently, prepare them for a world of work that is very specific in its skillset requirements. The book aims at helping students think critically about skills both orally and in writing. It also includes activities intended to expand vocabulary, which underlies successful communication.

The copy is in mint condition and as good as new. - Summary: This dissertation investigates the influence of large family shareholders on financial decisions and the performance of listed firms in Germany. This country is especially interesting, as the German corporate governance system is considered less investor-friendly with a limited influence of shareholders on managerial decisions. Based on the incentive structure of family blockholders and their influence in corporate boards, the four studies offer a novel approach to analyzing the financial behavior of family firms. They use a hand-collected panel dataset identifying blockholders and every board position in 278 corporations. The dissertation demonstrates that the degree of family involvement in boards significantly influences working capital and earnings management as well as stock market performance and provides contributions for academia and practitioners alike.

Original brochure. Condizione: Gut. XII, 368 pp., 45 b/w ill. A very good copy. - Summary: What does it mean to be white in a society that proclaims race meaningless, yet is deeply divided by race? In the face of pervasive racial inequality and segregation, most white people cannot answer that question. In the second edition of this seminal text, Robin DiAngelo reveals the factors that make this question so difficult: mis-education about what racism is; ideologies such as individualism and colorblindness; segregation; and the belief that to be complicit in racism is to be an immoral person. These factors contribute to what she terms white racial illiteracy. Speaking as a white person to other white people, DiAngelo clearly and compellingly takes readers through an analysis of white socialization. Weaving research, analysis, stories, images, and familiar examples, she provides the framework needed to develop white racial literacy. She describes how race shapes the lives of white people, explains what makes racism so hard to see, identifies common white racial patterns, and speaks back to popular narratives that work to deny racism. Written as an accessible overview on white identity from an anti-racist framework, What Does It Mean to Be White? is an invaluable resource for members of diversity and anti-racism programs and study groups, and students of sociology, psychology, education, and other disciplines. This revised edition features two new chapters, including one on DiAngelo's influential concept of white fragility. Written to be accessible both within and without academia, this revised edition also features discussion questions, an index, and a glossary. - CONTENTS: Introduction -- Chapter 1: Race in Education -- Chapter 2: Unique Challenges of Race Education -- Chapter 3: Socialization -- Chapter 4: Defining Terms -- Chapter 5: The Cycle of Oppression -- Chapter 6: What Is Race? -- Chapter 7: What Is Racism? -- Chapter 8: "New" Racism -- Chapter 9: How Race Shapes the Lives of White People -- Chapter 10: What Makes Racism So Hard for Whites to See? -- Chapter 11: Intersecting Identities-An Example of Class -- Chapter 12: Common Patterns of Well-Meaning White People -- Chapter 13: White Fragility -- Chapter 14: Popular White Narratives That Deny Racism -- Chapter 15: Stop Telling That Story!

Original hardcover, 22 cm. Condizione: Sehr gut. Thesis, X, 244 p. A perfect copy. - Summary: Lk 22:35-38 is peculiar because it is never proclaimed except on Palm Sunday in the Year C. Although it is a pragmatic instruction on mission, it puzzles us like the Apostles in the Upper Room. The Lord shortly before his arrest, asserting the importance of the teaching, mandates preparedness for mission in the post-resurrectional period of the Church. The shepherd must be prepared to defend the sheep under his/her care, even to the extent of being called "lawless" according to world standards. Lk 22:35-38 thus in no way contradicts the prior mission training sendings, rather endows the missionary with greater strategic responsibility and commitment in pastoral care. The book highlights the contextual, hermeneutical, and theological dimensions in the final teaching of Jesus in the Lukan narration. - Table of Contents: General Introduction -- Chapter One.
