Overview: In der Sekundäranalyse von Lebensverlaufsdaten versucht der Autor nachzuweisen, daß berufliche Verläufe von strukturellen Kontextbedingungen geprägt sind und folglich nicht allein aus den Investitionen in die individuellen Bildungsressourcen resultieren. Aus der allgemeinen ungleichstheoretischen Diskussion werden drei Strukturierungsmechanismen sozialer Ungleichheit hergeleitet, von denen jeder selbst wiederum durch spezielle theoretische Ansätze fundiert ist: Individuelle Ressourcen, soziale Schließung und vakante Positionen. Die Ereignisananalyse von Daten aus der Bundesrepublik D

Overview: Bei leistungs starken Hochfrequenzsendern treten an Stellen ho her Feldstärke gelegentlich frei in den Raum brennende Entladungen als lästige Begleiterschei­ nung auf. Es handelt sich hierbei um einen hochfrequenten unipolaren Licht­ bogen, der sich durch Stoßionisation selbst die erforderlichen Träger erzeugt, also eine echte selbständige Gasentladung darstellt. Diese auch als Fackelentladung bezeichnete Erscheinung ist schon seit etwa 30 Jahren bekannt und bereits von L. ROHDE und H. SCHWARZ [1] als Nebenergeb­ nis zu ihren HF-Untersuchungen beschrieben worden. Eine hochfrequente E

Overview: This book charts the course of monetary policy in the UK from 1967 to 1982. It shows how events such as the 1967 devaluation, the collapse of Bretton Woods, the stagflation of the 1970s, and the IMF loan of 1976 all shaped policy. It shows that the ‘monetarist‘ experiment of the 1980s was based on a fundamental misreading of 1970s monetary policy.978-1-349-47499-8978-1-137-36954-3Series ISSN 2662-5164 Series E-ISSN 2662-5172

Overview: Challenges the common perceptions and assumption that more state responsibility and re-centralization will result in convergence towards a more equitable and inclusive growth model in China.Examines tThis book challenges the common perception or assumption that greater state intervention and re-centralization will result in convergence towards a more equitable and inclusive growth model in China. Instead of asking whether local agency matters, this project examines the conditions and latitude of local agency under initial decentralization followed by increasing top-down re-centraliza

Overview: In den vergangenen Jahren haben Regierungen in Deutschland und Europa zahlreiche öffentliche Unternehmen privatisiert. Dabei hat der geplante Verkauf von Anteilen an der Deutschen Bahn AG weit reichende Diskussionen um die Entstaatlichung öffentlicher Unternehmen und die damit einhergehenden Chancen und Risiken für Staat, Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft ausgelöst. Die hieraus erwachsenden Begründungs- und Rechtfertigungszwänge machen für die Bahn die Entwicklung einer Kommunikationsstrategie erforderlich, welche die Ansprüche und Erwartungen der relevanten Anspruchsgruppen aufgreift...Vo

Overview: Explores pluralist systemic thinking as a process for conceptualising and carrying out social and behavioural research.Implements a ‘unity from diversity’ logic when considering methodological choices.This book is about the choices that researchers can make when building knowledge in social and behavioural spaces. Knowledge is the unity we seek and, given that social and behavioural research is a human endeavour focusing on human lives and experiences, there are diverse and ever-evolving pathways towards achieving that unity. Any one pathway will only ever yield partial glimpses into

Overview: .Ziel dieser Arbeit ist die Entwicklung und Anwendung eines Instruments zur Erfassung der Unterrichtsqualität von sprachbildendem Unterricht. Dazu wird das Erfassungsinstrument L-TRU durch Adaption des TRU-Frameworks entwickelt, nachdem der Stand der Instrumente zur Erfassung von Unterrichtsqualität im Hinblick auf Sprachbildung im Mathematikunterricht aufgearbeitet wurde. Die Unterrichtsqualitätsdimensionen lassen sich (trotz naheliegender inhaltlicher Abhängigkeiten) als inhaltlich relevante und empirisch nicht komplett zusammenfallende Größen identifizieren. Besonders die neu ergä
