Modern mundane life is brimming with a variety of data-driven
technologies that are supposed to augment the practices they are
involved in. As humans bring these technologies into their lives in
a process of domestication, they tame them and are simultaneously
influenced by their presence. In combining domestication research
and an empirical analysis of current, digital, and interconnected
media, this issue examines the process of taming with an emphasis
on practices. The contributions in this issue explore the use of
digitally connected media such as vacuum robots, smart speakers,
drones, and kitchen appliances with reference to the domestication
paradigm from interdisciplinary perspectives including media
studies, sociology, anthropology, and human-computer interaction.

Interdisciplinarity research results from a growing need for
multi-perspective methods, and knowledge on complex and
multifaceted objects of study. It is not simply scientific research
that involves several disciplines, but ultimately, the aim is
confronting this knowledge and - if possible - articulating it
coherently. Using specific examples, Methods and
Interdisciplinarity categorizes the different modes of
interdisciplinarity and discusses the mechanisms of hybridization
between them. On the one hand, the book shows how the same issue
can be treated according to various points of view from several
disciplines, which can give rise to complementary or even
contradictory knowledge. On the other hand, it illustrates how
methods from some disciplines make it possible to articulate the
qualitative or quantitative approaches of others.

On the day that Paris fell to the Nazis, R. G. Waldeck was checking
into the swankiest hotel in Bucharest, the Athene Palace. A
cosmopolitan center during the war, the hotel was populated by
Italian and German oilmen hoping to secure new business
opportunities in Romania, international spies cloaked in fake
identities, and Nazi officers whom Waldeck discovered to be
intelligent but utterly bloodless. A German Jew and a reporter for
Newsweek, Waldeck became a close observer of the Nazi invasion. As
King Carol first tried to placate the Nazis, then abdicated the
throne in favor of his son, Waldeck was dressing for dinners with
diplomats and cozying up to Nazi officers to gain insight and
information. From her unique vantage, she watched as Romania, a
country with a pro-totalitarian elite and a deep strain of
anti-Semitism, suffered civil unrest, a German invasion, and an
earthquake, before turning against the Nazis. A striking
combination of social intimacy and distinterested political
analysis, Athene Palace evokes the elegance and excitement of the
dynamic international community in Bucharest before the world had
come to grips with the horrors of war and genocide. Waldeck's
account strikingly presents the finely wrought surface of dinner
parties, polite discourse, and charisma, while recognizing the
undercurrents of violence and greed that ran through the denizens
of the Athene Palace.

Dieses Buch behandelt die Grundlagen der Algebra und der
elementaren Zahlentheorie. Zentrale Begriffe sind Primelemente und
irreduzible Elemente. Ausgehend vom Aufbau einer Arithmetik in
Hauptidealringen und insbesondere euklidischen Ringen sind die
zentralen Themen zum einen irreduzible Polynome, zum anderen
Primzahlen. Dies führt zu den algebraischen
Körpererweiterungen und zu Fragen nach der Konstruierbarkeit mit
Zirkel und Lineal. Nach einem längeren Ausflug in die
Gruppentheorie bis zum Sylow-Satz und den auflösbaren Gruppen wird
die Idee der Galoistheorie exemplarisch an der Frage der
Auflösbarkeit von Polynomgleichungen behandelt. Zentrale Themen
der Zahlentheorie sind Verteilung und Eigenschaften von Primzahlen,
Primzahltests, Kongruenzen, der Chinesische Restsatz, quadratische
Reste bis hin zum quadratischen Reziprozitätsgesetz und
Lösungsansätze für einige diophantische Gleichungen. Neu in
dieser 3. Auflage ist neben einer Erweiterung des Themas
"Konstruktion mit Zirkel und Lineal", dass es begleitend zum Buch
ein Audio-Angebot gibt. Die Audiodateien können im E-Book direkt
durch Anklicken angehört werden, für das gedruckte Buch steht
die SN More Media App zur Verfügung.
Each year, thousands of consulting contracts are awarded by
organizations to experts who help them with challenges involving
people, processes, technologies, goals, resource allocation,
decision making, problem solving, and more. These experts -
consultants - diagnose problems, recommend solutions, facilitate
interventions, and evaluate outcomes that are often related to
human communication. Some consultants are academicians skilled in
both doing and interpreting research for clients; others are
practitioners with little use for research and theory. Driving all
of the ideas showcased in Consulting That Matters: A Handbook for
Scholars and Practitioners is the premise that sound theory and
research are critical to consulting success, and should be the
blueprints for successful organizational transformation. Thus, this
book is for all types of consultants, including the very best who
are at the top of their games and those who believe theory and
research belong in ivory towers, not business settings. Featuring a
"who's who" of preeminent communication scholars/consultants, each
author shares frameworks, strategies, and examples from their own
diverse experiences, all grounded in rich, substantive theory and
research. The volume offers even the most skilled and experienced
consultants a range of alternative approaches, paradigms, and
competencies to build their credibility and make them more valuable
to their clients in a dynamic, ever-evolving business climate.
