Die Internationalisierung zwingt zahlreiche Unternehmen zu einer unternehmensweiten Einfuhrung von Fremdsprachen. Bisher sind insbesondere fur Grossunternehmen Instrumente entwickelt worden. Ausgehend von der Ermittlung des Bedarfs an Fremdsprachenfoerderung und Unterstutzung am Beispiel mittelstandischer Maschinenbauunternehmen diskutiert die Autorin die Erkenntnisse der Sprachlehrforschung, des internationalen Personalmanagements und der Terminologieforschung auf ihre Anwendbarkeit in mittelstandischen Unternehmen. Dabei steht die Schlusselrolle der Personalverantwortlichen in diesem Prozess im Vordergrund. Als Ergebnis werden praxisgerechte Bausteine fur die Sprachverankerung abgeleitet, die fur Personalverantwortliche wie fur angewandte Linguisten gleichermassen gewinnbringend sind.

The material in this book was prepared for electrical training courses. It is a practical manual that enables even the beginner to grasp the various topics quickly and thoroughly. The book is one of a kind in that it teaches the concepts of basic electricity in a way that's clear, to-the-point, and very easy to understand. It forms an excellent foundation for those who wish to proceed from the basics to more advanced topics. Numerous illustrations are included to simplify learning both theories and their applications. Direct-current and alternating-current devices and circuits are explained in detail. Magnetism, as well as motors and generators are described to give the reader a through understanding of them. The book is an excellent resource for the layperson as well as licensed electricians.

The Internet may be viewed as a "complex system" with diverse features and many components that can give rise to unexpected emergent phenomena, revealing much about its own engineering. This book brings together chapter contributions from a workshop held at the Santa Fe Institute in March 2001. This volume captures a snapshot of some features of the Internet that may be fruitfully approached using a complex systems perspective, meaning using interdisciplinary tools and methods to tackle the subject area. The Internet penetrates the socioeconomic fabric of everyday life; a broader and deeper grasp of the Internet may be needed to meet the challenges facing the future.
The resulting empirical data have already proven to be invaluable for gaining novel insights into the network's spatio-temporal dynamics, and can be expected to become even more important when tryin to explain the Internet's complex and emergent behavior in terms of elementary networking-based mechanisms. The discoveries of fractal or self-similar network traffic traces, power-law behavior in network topology and World Wide Web connectivity are instances of unsuspected, emergent system traits. Another important factor at the heart of fair, efficient, and stable sharing of network resources is user behavior. Network systems, when habited by selfish or greedy users, take on the traits of a noncooperative multi-party game, and their stability and efficiency are integral to understanding the overall system and its dynamics. Lastly, fault-tolerance and robustness of large-scale network systems can exhibit spatial and temporal correlations whose effective analysis and management may benefit from rescaling techniques applied in certain physical and biological systems. The present book will bring together several of the leading workers involved in the analysis of complex systems with the future development of the Internet.

Die gegenwartige Scheidungs-Forschung hat u.a. potenzielle schwerwiegende Folgen von Trennung und Scheidung von (Ehe-)Paaren fur die Betroffenen nachgewiesen: Psychische Beeintrachtigungen, die auch in Form von Langzeitfolgen moeglicherweise im ganzen Leben erhalten bleiben und die Lebensqualitat in vielen Bereichen mindern koennen, gehen mit materiellen, oekonomischen und sozialen Verlusten einher. Die institutionelle Ehe-, Familien- und Lebensberatung stellt die primare Instanz der Pravention von Trennung und Scheidung dar. Diese empirische Untersuchung betritt wissenschaftliches Neuland. Im Praxisteil werden psychosoziale Komponenten von Ehepartnern erfasst und verschiedene Zusammenhange zwischen diesen Geschlechtsrollen-Einstellungen, d.h. "Maskulinitat", "Feminitat", "Androgynie" und "Undifferenziertheit" aufgezeigt; ferner werden spezifische Merkmale, die auf der Verhaltens- und Einstellungsebene der Eheleute liegen, thematisiert.

Now in its fourth edition, The Art of Music Production has established itself as the definitive guide to the art and business of music production and a primary teaching tool for college programs. It is the first book to comprehensively analyze and describe the non-technical role of the music producer. Author Richard James Burgess lays out the complex field of music production by defining the several distinct roles that fall under the rubric of music producer. In this completely updated and revised fourth edition of a book already lauded as "the most comprehensive guide to record production ever published," Burgess has expanded and refined the types of producers, bringing them fully up to date. The first part of the book outlines the underlying theory of the art of music production. The second part focuses on the practical aspects of the job including training, getting into the business, day-to-day responsibilities, potential earnings, managers, lawyers, and - most importantly - the musical, financial, and interpersonal relationships producers have with artists and their labels. The book is packed with insights from the most successful music producers ranging from today's chart-toppers to the beginnings of recorded sound, including mainstream and many niche genres. The book also features many revealing anecdotes about the business, including the stars and the challenges (from daily to career-related) a producer faces. Burgess addresses the changes in the nature of music production that have been brought about by technology and, in particular, the paradigmatic millennial shift that has occurred with digital recording and distribution. Burgess's lifelong experience in the recording industry as a studio musician, artist, producer, manager, and marketer combined with his extensive academic research in the field brings a unique breadth and depth of understanding to the topic.
