Overview: Applies physics concepts to evolving economic psychology.Develops a theory to mediate behavioral and identity economics.Examines socialism and capitalism as developed by Soviet and Eastern Bloc countrThis book presents an unorthodox identity economics that approaches social identity through a non-classical psychology. Garai applies the modern physics concept of wave-particle duality to economic psychology, finding a corresponding duality in object-oriented activity and historically generated social identity. These two factors interconnect to create a double-storied structure of socia

Overview: Connects TBLT to broader usage-based theories of first and second language emergence.Connects tasks to specific aspects of the developing language system for speakers of English as a first and second This volume addresses an important gap in the literature on task design and second language use. Building on insights from over 50 years of research on the relationship between task demands and language use, it examines how referent similarity relates to developmentally-relevant variation in the use of nominal structures, comparative structures and abstract lexis among first and second l

Overview: This book offers an interpretation of certain Hegelian concepts, and their relevance to various themes in contemporary philosophy, which will allow for a non-metaphysical understanding of his thought, further strengthening his relevance to philosophy today by placing him in the midst of current debates.978-1-349-49795-9978-1-137-45450-8

Overview: Includes supplementary material: .Neoclassical growth theory is the dominant perspective for explaining economic growth. At its core are four implicit assumptions: 1) economic output can become decoupled from energy consumption; 2) economic distribution is unrelated to growth; 3) large institutions are not important for growth; and 4) labor force structure is not important for growth. Drawing on a wide range of data from the economic history of the United States, this book tests the validity of these assumptions and finds no empirical support. Instead, connections are found between t

Overview: Includes supplementary material: You are probably about to teach or take a “?rst course in proof techniques,” or maybe you just want to learn more about mathem- ics. No matter what the reason, a student who wishes to learn the material in this book likes mathematics, and we hope to keep it that way. At this point, students have an intuitive sense of why things are true, but not the exposure to the detailed and critical thinking necessary to survive in the mathematical world. We have written this book to bridge this gap. In our experience, students beginning this course have little tr

Overview: Gibt einen überblick über Rücktritte in der Politik.Pr?sentiert Einblicke in die Karrieren deutscher Spitzenpolitiker*innen.Wirft eine wissenschaftliche Perspektive auf ein ?ffentlichkeitswirksames PhPolitikwissenschaftliche und zeitgeschichtliche Untersuchungen zu den Karrieren deutscher Spitzenpolitiker*innen besch?ftigten sich bislang vor allem mit deren Aufstieg und weniger mit dem Ende von politischen Laufbahnen. Aus welchen Gründen treten Politiker*innen aus dem Amt zurück? Was sind die Hintergründe, Motive und Konsequenzen einer solchen Entscheidung? Müssen Rücktritte zwingend

Overview: Mit diesem Buch soll versucht werden, die komplexe und komplizierte Materie, die sich hinter dem simplen Schlagwort ?Elektrosmog? verbirgt, auch Laien verst?ndlich zu machen, ohne da? dabei auf wissenschaftli- che Fundiertheit verzichtet wird. Die Suche nach Antworten darauf, wie sich elektromagnetische Felder auf die Gesundheit und die Umwelt auswirken, wirft Fragen im physika- lischen wie im medizinischen und ingenieurwissenschaftlichen Bereich auf; die Frage danach, wie m?gliche Gefahren einged?mmt werden k?nnen, fügt die politische und juristische Dimension hinzu. Die meisten Exp

Overview: Das Lehrbuch zur RitualforschungDavid J. Krieger und Andrea Belliger 1. Ritual und Ritualforschung Vergleicht man heutige Ritualtheorien mit jenen an den Anfiingen der Ritualfor- schung vor nicht viel mehr als hundert Jahren, fallt auf, wie wenig gegenw?rtige Theorien über das Ritual mit Religion zu tun haben. Das Wort "Religion" kommt zwar in heutigen Untersuchungen noch immer vor, spezifische Riten aber und das Ritual im allgemeinen werden kaum mehr als ausschliesslich religi?se Ph?nomene betrachtet. Bedeutete "Ritual" ursprünglich "Gottesdienst" oder die schriftlichen Anweisungen

Overview: .This book constitutes the proceedings of the 27th International Working Conference on Requirements Engineering - Foundation for Software Quality, REFSQ 2021, which was due to be held in Essen, Germany, in April 2021. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the conference was held virtually in April 2021...The special focus of this year`s REFSQ 2021 conference are contributions emphasizing the importance of human values, such as privacy and fairness, when designing software-intensive systems as well as the challenges that intelligent and autonomous systems pose due to the tight interplay with h

Overview: Anleger investieren in verschiedene Finanzprodukte und versuchen somit das Risiko zu streuen. Die Erkl?rung und Prognose dieses Risikoverhaltens ist eine wichtige Voraussetzung für das Verstehen des Kapitalmarktes. Dabei geht die Wissenschaft zumeist von einem rationalen Verhalten der Anleger aus...Martina Steul legt den Behavioral-Finance-Ansatz zugrunde und zieht psychologische Erkenntnisse zur Erkl?rung des Risikoverhaltens privater Anleger heran. Auf dieser Basis wird ein Risikoverhaltensmodell entwickelt. Experimentelle Untersuchungen liefern wichtige Erkenntnisse über die Deter

Overview: Publication in the field of economic sciences ?.Includes supplementary material: The doctoral thesis investigates various strategies in the area of going and being international of retail firms which is of undisputable relevance due to the fairly narrow research status and the increasing internationalization of retail activities. Issues are investigated concerning the choice of retail market entry modes, i.e., the form ofinstitutional arrangements that retailers use when entering foreign markets, the retail format transfer, i.e., the management of internal processes and the external

Overview: The authors explore the outlook of Rwanda in the context of development of East Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa. They examine Rwanda‘s vision, achievements and uncertainties in terms of national unity, institutional leadership, the spectre of industrial policy and economic development,perceptions of civil society engagement, etc.978-1-349-34778-0978-1-137-26515-9

Overview: Covers Key Technologies for Re-Usable Space SystemsA few years ago the Helmholtz Association (HGF) consisting of 15 research Institutions including the German Aerospace Center (DLR) started a network research program called ‘Virtual Institutes’. The basic idea of this program was to establish research groups formed by Helmholtz research centers and universities to study and develop methods or technologies for future applications and educate young scientists. It should also enable and encourage the partners of this Virtual Institute after 3 years funding to continue their cooperation

Overview: .Reaction Centers of Photosynthetic Bacteria. is an updated record on the most recent insight into the struc- ture/function relationship of reaction centers from photosynthetic bacteria. It addresses in particular, interactions and dynamics which determine the ultra-high quantum yield of photoinduced charge separation in these energy-transforming molecular machines. Of particular interest is the still controversial issue of the primary charge separation mechanism as well as the effects of well-defined modifications, introduced either by mutagenic replacements in the protein matrix or

Overview: The author‘s lectures, "Contact Manifolds in Riemannian Geometry," volume 509 (1976), in the Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Mathematics series have been out of print for some time and it seems appropriate that an expanded version of this material should become available. The present text deals with the Riemannian geometry of both symplectic and contact manifolds, although the book is more contact than symplectic. This work is based on the recent research of the author, his students, colleagues, and other scholars, the author‘s graduate courses at Michigan State University and the e
