Overview: Eine rechtswissenschaftliche Untersuchung.Angesichts der anhaltenden Niedrigzinsphase geraten Stiftungen mit einer niedrigen Vermögensausstattung vermehrt in wirtschaftliche Schwierigkeiten. Bei einem fortschreitenden Vermögensverfall kann die Eröffnung eines Insolvenzverfahrens auch für die vergleichsweise krisenfeste Rechtsform der Stiftung drohen. Das deutsche Insolvenzrecht ist jedoch primär auf Unternehmensinsolvenzen zugeschnitten. In der vorliegenden Arbeit untersucht Johannes Weiland neben möglichen Ursachen einer Stiftungsinsolvenz die sich hieraus ergebenden rechtlichen Pro

Overview: Examines left-wing Italian literature during the 1960s and beyond - an area of increasing scholarly interest.Considers Pasolini, Calvino, Sanguineti, and Volponi together for the first time.Looks at aThis book is about the presence of utopian and dystopian elements in the Italian literary landscape. It focuses on four authors that are representatives of the various positions in the Italian cultural debate: Pasolini, Calvino, Sanguineti, and Volponi.

Overview: In der Vergangenheit konnte die Deutsche Bundespost aufgrund ihres Fernmeldemomopols Defizite aus der Versorgung entlegener Landstriche durch monopolgesicherte Erlöse an anderer Stelle finanzieren. Diese Form der Finanzierung wird nach der Liberalisierung des Marktes nicht mehr möglich sein. Christoph Gabrisch geht der Frage nach, wie in einem wettbewerblichen Umfeld der Universaldienst dennoch sichergestellt werden kann. Die Analyse der Ziele, Inhalte und Instrumente des Universaldienstes macht deutlich, daß die Antwort jenseits vom traditionellen Leitbild der ‘Tarifeinheit im Raum‘

Overview: Offers a structured approach to filter design, starting from an arbitrary transfer function or impulse response, all the way down to the actual circuit design.Concentrates on low-power design at all t.Often WT systems employ the discrete wavelet transform, implemented on a digital signal processor. However, in ultra low-power applications such as biomedical implantable devices, it is not suitable to implement the WT by means of digital circuitry due to the relatively high power consumption associated with the required A/D converter. Low-power analog realization of the wavelet transfo

Overview: An Hand von zahlreichen Versuchen konnte gezeigt werden, daß bei der üblichen betrieblichen Oberflächenbearbeitung insbesondere dem Pließ­ ten des rostbeständigen Messerstahles vom Typ X 40 er 14 örtliche Er­ wärmungen auftreten können mit teilweise so hohen Temperaturen, daß die Korrosionsbeständigkeit dadurch vermindert wird. Dieser Einfluß der Oberflächenbearbeitung kann sogar die Wärmebehandlung des Stahles bei weitem überdecken. Es konnte außerdem festgestellt werden, daß bei der mechanischen Bearbeitung nur eine dünne Schicht (bisweilen unter 5 ~ ) der Oberfläche beeinflußt wir

Overview: Discusses how cities conceptualize what they consider to be their most pressing problems.Quantitatively assesses numerous sustainability plans in a way that allows for meaningful comparisons.Suggests Cities are stepping forward to address the critical sustainability challenges of the 21st century.

Overview: Explores how young people are introduced to ‘unfamiliar landscapes’.Explains how ‘unfamiliarity’ is encountered, experienced and constructed.Reflects on presupposed relationships between young people .This book critically interrogates how young people are introduced to landscapes through environmental education, outdoor recreation, and youth-led learning, drawing on diverse examples of green, blue, outdoor, or natural landscapes. Understanding the relationships between young people and unfamiliar landscapes is vital for young people’s current and future education and wellbeing, but h

Overview: .This book delves into the decision-making process behind (exclusive) breastfeeding in Mexico, examining the intricate interplay of individual and institutional factors that influence this critical health choice. Positioned within the context of Mexico‘s complex healthcare structures and existing health inequalities, this study serves as a significant case analysis within the Latin American region. Employing a comprehensive multi-methodological approach, the research combines quantitative analysis with qualitative insights from interviews with mothers. With a focus on unraveling how

Overview: Using the tools of performance studies, gender theory, and cultural history, Brenda Foley explores the striking similarities between beauty pageantry and striptease. For example, women in both project a ‘normal‘ femininity and adhere to a strict hierarchy (Miss America contestants look down upon Miss Universe contestants, while theatrical ‘burlesque artists‘ saw themselves as far above mere carnival strippers). Undressed for Success collects extensive primary source research - newspapers, journals, trade publications, photography collections, press releases, memoirs, and interviews w
