Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In den Folgejahren der Weltfinanz- und Weltwirtschaftskrise (ab 2007) kommt es zu neuen Formen innereuropäischer Arbeitsmigration. Das Buch untersucht am Beispiel der Migration von Spanien nach Deutschland empirisch, von welchen sprachlich-kommunikativen Barrieren Migrierende betroffen sein können und über welche Kompetenzen, Potentiale und Strategien diese verfügen, um Partizipationsbarrieren zu überwinden.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book is about the assessment of people in the workplace and examines what assessment is and the various forms it takes and how these principles and practices can be applied to improve job satisfaction, productivity and the fairness with which organisational objectives are achieved.Section l examines some of the background and social issues that are shaping the assessment enterprise and the view that management in general and psychological assessment is part of the «neo-liberal assault on the world and an expression of colonial hegemony». Psychological assessment techniques and methods are increasingly being seen by some as biased against certain groups. The nature of measurement and assessment are evaluated and the basic principles of drawing up a psychological measuring instrument, as well as the history of assessment in the workplace, are outlined.Section II examines basic psychometric theory, including how assessment test scores are interpreted, and combined to yield a single pass/fail, accept/reject or go/no go decision. The issues of reliability (or consistency) and those of validity, i.e., the extent to which a measure measures what it claims to measure, are examined. In Chapter 7, the concepts of fairness and equity are outlined, especially gender and cultural equity that are so important in many parts of the world today.Section III examines how assessment principles are applied in organizations (Chapter 8) and with respect to Intelligence (Chapter 9), Personality (Chapter 10), Competencies (Chapter 11), Honesty and Integrity (Chapter 12), Interviewing (Chapter 13) and Assessment Centres (Chapter 14).

Buch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The concept of hybrid warfare is as old as warfare itself. However, it has re-emerged with an expanded scope in the twenty-first century. The purpose of the entire campaign is to break the will of the people and win the war without fighting. The modus operandi of the planning and execution of today¿s hybrid warfare, particularly against unequal military powers (UMPs), is very similar to the precepts of the Chinese sage, Sun Tzu, who prophesied of winning the war without fighting. An analysis of Sun Tzüs The Art of War reveals that he was a proponent of expanding state¿s influence without the use of force. Inspired by Sun Tzüs precepts, this author is proposing that states may acquire power for the promotion of peace within and peace without, as opposed to classical realism which insists on power and security. The sustained period of peace would enable the state to concentrate on economic development and societal progress. The same would help the state in perception management and project its soft power among the comity of nations. Such a state would then have the capacity to help develop other regional countries to expand its area of influence. However, the states that use their hard power to subdue other nations not only violate Sun Tzüs dicta; but also end up spending huge resources, cause total destruction of the target state, and yet are unable to maintain a sustained occupation in contemporary international system.In view of the continued relevance, this author attempts to rediscover Sun Tzüs precepts from The Art of War and its application in today¿s hybrid warfare, deploying deductive reasoning, and qualitative analysis of contemporary wars and conflicts. 114 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The volume addresses the effectiveness of the teaching-learning process during the pandemic and post-pandemic periods, beginning with the widely accepted hypothesis that the transition to a distance teaching system had a significant impact on the way didactic activities must be conceived, on the evaluation of school performance, and on how students can provide quality feedback to teachers regarding the efficiency of the educational process. As a result, a part of the studies focuses on the adoption of alternate ways of teaching-learning evaluation, with an emphasis on enhanced interactivity, to compensate for the loss of direct connection. This is why a considerable number of studies use ludic or dramatic strategies in the teaching-learning process, with the declared goal of integrating the interlocutors as much as possible, of transposing them into a more manageable reality. 272 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book has two research objectives. The main objective is to present the dynamics of the system reform of the Economic and Monetary Union in 2010-2022. The other is to take stock of the reform and to highlight its successes and failures. In this context, the monograph puts forward two research hypotheses. The first hypothesis assumes that the shortcomings in EU primary and secondary law regarding the Economic and Monetary Union and the course of the euro area debt crisis were two main reasons for reforming the EMU, whereby the crisis in question actually forced the European Union and the euro area countries to implement the reform. The second hypothesis is based on the assumption that the implementation of the system reform encountered many difficulties and obstacles arising from the negative attitude of the governments of some euro area Member States to the execution of selected projects, but also from the accumulation of various severe crises that the European Union faced during the reform, in particular the euro area debt crisis, the migration crisis, the pandemic crisis and the geopolitical crisis following Russia's aggression against Ukraine. The research hypotheses were verified using a triangulation of several qualitative methods: case study, institutional-legal method, comparative method, and critical analysis of sources and literature. 260 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Meaning lies at the very heart of the development of language. Therefore, it is not surprising that the linguists have long been fascinated by the study of meaning, from the early days of the discipline to the present. Over time, the approach to meaning has evolved, shifting from structuralist analyses of linguistic signs to a focus on the combinatory potential of grammatical structures. Currently, the dominant cognitive-semantics approach examines meaning in relation to concepts and the abilities of the human brain. One of the most intriguing questions throughout the history of semantics has been the relationship between an individual and the linguistic community within the framework of the wider sign-meaning relation. This essential but insufficiently explored relationship was the central topic of the 33rd International Conference of the Croatian Applied Linguistics Society. 140 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Constitutional consciousness belongs not solely to the legal field, but also to other social sciences. It refers not only to constitutional and national identity but also to European identity, as the general principles of EU law derive from common constitutional traditions. Its low level results with difficulties in the proper reading of the legitimacy of power and with the recently widely discussed democratic deficit both in member states and in the EU itself. The publication addresses the issue of European integration and the common catalogue of values and human rights. The aim is to point out that increasing its level in society shall bring remedy for the democratic deficit in the EU and strengthen respect for fundamental rights. This thesis gives the publication an innovative Character. 316 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Population movements taking place in past decades, including those reaching the European Union, defy straightforward and simplistic conceptions of drivers, trajectories and forms of migration. Approaching migration journeys as non-linear processes, this book looks into the conditions and legal-policy frameworks at broad spaces of mobility interlinking several origin, transit, destination and host contexts in South/Central/Western Asia, Eastern/Central/Western Africa, Central and South America, and Europe to provide a more nuanced understanding of mixed migration. It also looks at specific migratory trends towards the European Union before and after the so-called 'migration crisis' (2009-2020), while paying particular attention to gender- and sexuality-specific dynamics and patterns. 342 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -De forma assaz enfática, e muito consciente, o mundo medieval representa-se a si mesmo, nas suas múltiplas práticas sociais e estético-culturais, através da figuração animal. Pela mão de um assinalável conjunto de especialistas, esta obra faz-nos, assim, recuar a um tempo em que a realidade se inscrevia amplamente sob a égide representacional dos bichos; e, com isso, ajuda-nos a compreender, nós que vivemos em tempos de notória inquietação pelo vivente e de empatia pró-animal, os limiares homem/animal durante a Idade Média central e tardia. Mas também, implicitamente, se revela fundamental para refletir sobre as razões pelas quais os séculos pós-medievais, em nome da Modernidade, foram apagando do seu imaginário esses limiares. 296 pp. Englisch, Portugiesisch, Spanisch.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Angela Carter is known for her style-daring, disturbing, excessive-and her efforts to destroy and demystify every social norm. But she does more than dare. With sharp and subtle sensitivity, Carter disintegrates paradigms of temporality and mind enshrined by western philosophical tradition. She recognizes and illustrates how our modern alienation and disorientation derive more from spatial anxiety than time disorientation. Through her novels and short stories, Carter re-examines the human-space relation, unraveling the power discourses inscribed as the representation of space, and provides broader spatiotemporal imagination and possibilities. Focusing on spatiality in her works, this book explores Carter's attempts to criticize, resist and rewrite hierarchical, gendered discourse-analyzing it through the lens of confining space, specular space and bodily space. I will show how Carter tries to build a new model of space that transcends the dominant/dominated paradigm and establishes a spatiality-subjectivity totality. Her model overcomes our state of alienation by embracing corporeality and excess, lived experience in everyday interactions with space, and a new construction of subject of becoming. This book is for literary critics, professors and students of literature, readers of Angela Carter, and all those who feel trapped by their bodies and space. 156 pp. Englisch.…
