Overview: According to my latest model for the last glacial maximum (LGM) (Grosswald 1988), the Arctic continental margin of Eurasia was glaciated by the Eurasian ice sheet, which consisted of three interconnected ice domes --the Scandinavian, Kara, and East Siberian. The Kara Sea glacier was largely a marine ice dome grounded on the sea‘s continental shelf. The ice dome discharged its ice in all directions, northward into the deep Arctic Basin, southward and westward onto the mainland of west-central North Siberia, the northern Russian Plain, and over the Barents shelf into the Norwegian-Gree

Overview: Erziehungswissenschaftliche Studie.Includes supplementary material: Beate Kasper macht deutlich, dass der Einsatz von Instrumenten aus dem Qualitätsmanagement nicht zum Erfolg von Schülerinnen und Schülern beiträgt und die Schulqualität nicht verbessert.

Overview: Organizational decline and corporate turnarounds are historically at the height of interest, both theoretically as well as with regard to current practice. Characterized as the opposite of successful adaptation, organizational decline is the failure to anticipate, avoid, neutralize, and adapt to external or internal pressures, thus triggering a process of decreasing organizational resources over a specific period of time that might, but not necessarily needs to, end in corporate failure. Turnaround management is intuitively related to efficiency seeking, co- cutting, streamlining pro

Overview: Sozialwissenschaftliche Studie?.Includes supplementary material: ​Marc Schmid untersucht die widersprüchlichen Teilnahmemuster italienischstämmiger Migranten in Deutschland in unterschiedlichen gesellschaftlichen Teilbereichen.

This volume draws on all of these sources in an attempt to explain current concepts of nephritis. Increased emphasis is placed on autoimmune processes, as oppos
