Overview: How transparent are we actually?.A philosophical consideration of privacy in the digital age.A smart look at digital common knowledge.Thoughts are free - but they are no longer secret. Today, our data is automatically stored and analyzed by algorithms ”behind the cloud” - where we no longer have control over our data. Our most private and secret information is entrusted to the internet and permanently collected, stacked and linked to our digital twins. With and without our consent. "Privacy is dead", as Mark Zuckerberg put it. .The question is: How did we get there? And, if the actor

Overview: Progress in biological and biochemical research is based mainly on a better understanding of life processes on a molecular level. Modern chemical techniques for structural elucidation even of sophisticated biomolecules and theoretical and mechanistic considerations help us to understand structure-function relations, metabolic processes, molecular and cellular recognition, and the reproduction of life. This series, Bioorganic ChemistryFrontiers, will bring together critical reviews on the progress in this field.978-3-642-76243-7978-3-642-76241-3Series ISSN 0938-7234

Overview: Eine Bilanz ist nichts, was ist, sondern etwas, was gemacht wird. Es gibt keine Theorie, die dem kundigen Bilanzbetrachter alle Schleusen des Verständnisses für Zustand und Entwicklung eines Unternehmens öffnet. Wenn man zwar zugeben muß, daß man sicherlich nicht alles aus der Bilanz erkennen könne, wonach man immer forscht: Liquidität, Rentabilität, Kreditsicherheit, Unter­ nehmenswert u. dgl. , so darf man auch nicht in den entgegen­ gesetzten Fehler verfallen, nun anzunehmen, daß die gegen­ wärtigen Bilanzierungsgepflogenheiten in der Bundesrepublik nicht verbessert werden sollten

Overview: Sozioökonomische Wandlungsprozesse im ländlichen Java wurden bisher fast ausschließlich im Kontext der für den Naßreisanbau typischen Produktionsweise javanischer Dörfer analysiert. Somit standen vor allem Patron-Klient-Beziehungen und eine auf dem Besitz von Reisfeldern basierende soziale Schichtung im Mittelpunkt der Fallstudien. Diese Elemente aber spielen in den Dörfern der Hochlandregionen von Gunung Kidul nur eine marginale Rolle. Seit den sechziger Jahren haben die Bewohner des Untersuchungsdorfes in großen Scharen als Arbeitsmigranten ihren Wohnort verlassen. Migrationsprozes

Overview: Über Frieden wird nachgedacht, seit es Zivilisationen und organisierte Gemein­ wesen gibt, doch gerade in jüngster Zeit hat der Diskurs über den Frieden und seine Bedingungen eine neue Dringlichkeit erhalten - die Kriegsereignisse im ehemaligen Jugoslawien und im Kaukasus, aber auch die erschreckenden Zeichen ökologischen Unfriedens, ob am Amazonas oder in Schön berg, seien nur als Beispiele genannt. Insofern braucht ein Kurs über Begriff und Probleme des Friedens aus politikwissenschaftlicher Sicht nicht nur keine besondere Rechtfertigung, sondern darf mit Fug und Recht als notwendi

Overview: Based on countless diaries and letters, Schrijvers recounts American GIs‘ experiences in Asia and the Pacific. From the daunting spaces of the China-India theatre to the fortress islands of Iwo Jima and Okinawa, he brings to life their struggle with suffocating wilderness, devastating diseases, and Japanese soldiers who preferred death over life.978-0-230-27436-5978-0-230-29230-7

Overview: Authoritative investigators active in the discovery, development, and application of biological anti-infective agents concisely review their use and potential in preventing and treating human disease. Focusing on biotherapeutic entities that have been tested in controlled studies, the prominent experts illuminate the scientific underpinnings of their therapeutic power, assess their possible risks in the treatment of infectious diseases, and outline the research needed to better define their effectiveness. In addition, they also consider how biotherapeutic agents may be genetically en

Overview: Concise guide to all you need to know about batteries.Explains the evolution of battery storage.Examines emerging technologies and their broader implicationsThis book is a concise introductory guide to understanding the field of modern batteries, which is fast becoming an important area for applications in renewable energy storage, transportation, and consumer devices.

Overview: Im Zuge der Bildungsexpansion hat sich das Bildungs- und Ausbildungsniveau deutlich erhöht und auch zwischen Männern und Frauen angenähert. Die Studie befaßt sich mit der Frage, inwieweit sich mit diesen Veränderungen die Rolle von Bildung und Ausbildung für die individuellen Übergangsmuster in das Erwerbsleben und die daran geknüpften Beschäftigungs- und Karrierechancen gewandelt hat. Das Buch geht auf der Grundlage empirischer Analysen dieser Frage nach und untersucht für Deutschland die Muster der Übergänge zwischen Schule, Ausbildungssystem und Arbeitsmarktpositionen in einem Zei
