Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license.This book provides a unique overview of the impacts of railways on biodiversity, integrating the existing knowledge on the ecological effects of railways on wildlife, identifying major knowledge gaps and research directions and presenting the emerging field of railway ecology. The book is divided into two major parts: Part one offers a general review of the major conceptual and theoretical principles of railway ecology. The chapters consider the impacts of railways on wildlife populations and concentrate on four major topics: mortality, barrier effects, species invasions and disturbances (ranging from noise to chemical pollution). Part two focuses on a number of case studies from Europe, Asia and North America written by an international group of experts. 320 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -One possible method of producing high-quality graphene is to grow it epitaxially; this thesis investigates the mechanisms involved in doing so. It describes how the initial stages of growth on the Ir(111) surface are modelled using both rate equations and kinetic Monte Carlo, based upon nudged elastic band (NEB) calculated reaction energy barriers. The results show that the decomposition mechanism involves production of C monomers by breaking the C-C bond.In turn, the thesis explores the nucleation of carbon clusters on the surface from C monomers prior to graphene formation. Small arch-shaped clusters containing four to six C atoms, which may be key in graphene formation, are predicted to be long-lived on the surface. In closing, the healing of single vacancy defects in the graphene/Ir(111) surface is investigated, and attempts to heal said defects using ethylene molecules is simulated with molecular dynamics and NEB calculated energy barriers.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Plattformen wie Facebook, Wikipedia, YouTube oder Twitter haben in den vergangenen Jahren das Internet stark verändert. Sie gelten als 'soziale Medien', weil sie großen Einfluss darauf haben, wie Menschen sich selbst und ihre Interessen im Internet präsentieren, wie sie Beziehungen pflegen, neu knüpfen und sich über relevante Themen informieren. Zugleich werfen sie eine Reihe von weit reichenden Fragen auf: Verschwindet durch soziale Medien die Privatsphäre Machen soziale Medien jeden zum Journalisten Bringen soziale Medien Wissen für alle Sind die sozialen Medien partizipativ - oder überwachen und kontrollieren sie den Menschen Diese Fragen beantwortet der Band aus kommunikationssoziologischer Sicht und gibt so einen Überblick darüber, wie soziale Medien unseren individuellen Alltag wie auch unsere Gesellschaft verändern. Für die zweite Auflage wurde der Band aktualisiert und um ein Kapitel zur Meinungsbildung in und mit sozialen Medien erweitert.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Das Buch befasst sich mit dem bislang noch weitgehend unbehandelten Gebiet der Konversion von Deutschen zum Islam und beruht auf langjährigen Feldstudien der Autorin in Deutschland. Es bietet neue Einsichten in die Zusammenhänge und Spannungen, die dieses stetig wachsende religiöse Phänomen in Deutschland und darüber hinaus hervorbringt.Von Jahr zu Jahr nimmt die Zahl der Europäer, die sich dem Islam zuwenden, zu. Die vorliegende Publikation erforscht wie insbesondere Deutsche den Islam für sich entdecken, ihre Verbundenheit zum Islam trotz der gesellschaftlich eher ablehnenden Haltung und Furcht leben, wie sie sich zu den eingewanderten Muslimen in Beziehung setzen und wie sie die Debatten um Rasse, Religion und europäischer Zugehörigkeit erleben und mitgestalten.Esra Özyürek wirft einen Blick darauf, wie die Gesellschaft konvertierte Mitbürger an den Rand drängt und deren nationale Loyalität in Frage stellt. Im Gegenzug versuchen sich die zum Islam konvertierten Deutschen von Migranten aus muslimisch geprägten Ländern abzugrenzen und einen ¿entnationalisierten¿ Islam, frei von türkischen oder arabischen Traditionen, zu etablieren.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - How do we make the judgments that inform our lives Is there any way of consciously removing bias from the choices we make What do our everyday personal decisions have in common with those made by groups, companies, and even nations In this engaging and innovative textbook, Nancy Kim presents a multidisciplinary introduction to the dynamic field of judgment and decision-making. This lucidly written text delivers insights from cognitive psychology, aptly combining with interdependent findings from fields as diverse as neuropsychology, behavioural economics, social, developmental and clinical psychology, and philosophy. Offering not only a comprehensive explanation of the neurological structures and cognitive processes that underlie how we make decisions and form judgments in our everyday lives, readers can expect to learn the implications of these decisions upon an individual's prospects for health and longevity.Understanding behaviour is a central aspect of inquiry in the psychology discipline and as such this book is an essential companion for students taking undergraduate psychology, cognitive psychology and cognitive neuroscience courses; particularly those which include a module in judgment and decision-making. This text may also be helpful for undergraduate and postgraduate business courses on the subject.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This book explores social constructionism and the language of mental distress. Mental health research has traditionally been dominated by genetic and biomedical explanations that provide only partial explanations. However, process research that utilises qualitative methods has grown in popularity. Situated within this new strand of research, the authors examine and critically assess some of the different contributions that social constructionism has made to the study of mental distress and to how those diagnosed are conceptualized and labeled. This will be an invaluable introduction and source of practical strategies for academics, researchers and students as well as clinical practitioners, mental health professionals, and others working with mental health such as educationalists and social workers. 366 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This book presents the first in-depth study of the German boxer Max Schmeling (1905-2005) as a national hero and representative figure in Germany between the 1920s and the present day. It explores the complex relationship between sport, culture, politics and national identity and draws on a century of journalism, film, visual art, life writing and fiction. Detailed chapters analyse Schmeling's emergence as an icon in the Weimar Republic, his association with America, his celebrity status in the Third Reich, and his rivalry with Joe Louis as a focus for an extraordinary propaganda and ideological contest. The book also examines how Schmeling's post-war success in business associated him with the culture of the 'zero hour' nation in the era of 'economic miracle', and how he was later claimed as 'good German' and moral example for a post-war generation of Germans determined to 'come to terms' with the past. This book will appeal to readers with an interest in the history and representation of sport and boxing, in sports discourse and political culture, and in questions of national identity in modern German history. 340 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Die Autor_innen untersuchen Identitätsstrategien von Paaren aus der Mittelschicht, die unter Überschuldungsdruck geraten. Sie gehen aufgrund biografischer Interviews, die in einer qualitativen Paneluntersuchung in drei Wellen erhoben wurden, der Frage nach, wie im Paar an der Identität gearbeitet wird und wie sich Identität verändert, wenn sozialer Abstieg droht. Die theoriegenerierende Analyse bringt Muster des Umgangs mit Überschuldung und der Selbstplatzierung hervor, die entlang der Begriffe 'Kontinuität', 'Modifikation' und 'Moratorium' beschrieben werden. Ebenso gehen sie der Frage nach, wie die Lebenswelt in und mit Überschuldung als Paar konstruiert wird. 232 pp. Deutsch.
