Overview: Psychology relies on the changeability of behaviour and thus also on progressPeople in Germany have an indifferent to poor relationship with our society. In fact, modernity, i.e. the last 200 years, has given the population historically unprecedented progress: democracy, human rights, social security systems, nutritive abundance. Yet this is little appreciated. This may be due to the fact that, in Diderot‘s sense, we have to prove ourselves permanently, that is, we live in a meritocracy that produces suffering.  However, totalitarian ideologies have also emerged and been implemented

Overview: The innovative progress in the development oflarge-and small-scale parallel computing systems and their increasing availability have caused a sharp rise in interest in the scientific principles that underlie parallel computation and parallel programming. The biannual "Parallel Architectures and Languages Europe" (PARLE) conferences aim at presenting current research material on all aspects of the theory, design, and application of parallel computing systems and parallel processing. At the same time, the goal of the PARLE conferences is to provide a forum for researchers and practitio

Overview: Most published materials on poverty measurement are in the form of pamphlets or articles that provide either a micro or a macro approach.These chapters, which are written by international experts in pThis collection of essays honors a remarkable man and his work. Erik Thorbecke has made significant contributions to the microeconomic and the macroeconomic analysis of poverty, inequality and development, ranging from theory to empirics and policy.
