This book covers work written by leading scholars from different schools within the research area of paraconsistency. The authors critically investigate how contemporary paraconsistent logics can be used to better understand human reasoning in science and mathematics. Offering a variety of perspectives, they shed a new light on the question of whether paraconsistent logics can function as the underlying logics of inconsistent but useful scientific and mathematical theories. The great variety of paraconsistent logics gives rise to various, interrelated questions, such as what are the desiderata a paraconsistent logic should satisfy, is there prospect of a universal approach to paraconsistent reasoning with axiomatic theories, and to what extent is reasoning about sets structurally analogous to reasoning about truth. Furthermore, the authors consider paraconsistent logic's status as either a normative or descriptive discipline (or one which falls in between) and which inconsistent but non-trivial axiomatic theories are well understood by which types of paraconsistent approaches. This volume addresses such questions from different perspectives in order to (i) obtain a representative overview of the state of the art in the philosophical debate on paraconsistency, (ii) come up with fresh ideas for the future of paraconsistency, and most importantly (iii) provide paraconsistent logic with a stronger philosophical foundation, taking into account the developments within the different schools of paraconsistency.

Den Stromverbrauch senken, den Abfall recyclen, den «Jetzt kaufen»-Button drücken – menschliches Verhalten wird beinahe überall beeinflusst. Die Frage stellt sich deshalb, wie Mechanismen zur Beeinflussung von Verhalten erkannt und verantwortungsvoll gestaltet werden können. Vorliegendes Buch bietet einen strukturierenden Werkzeugkasten, das Persuasive Design Toolkit, der durch die Anwendung zentraler Verhaltensänderungs-Mechanismen bei digitalen oder analogen Lösungen führt. Die angewandten Design-Muster werden theoriebasiert strukturiert und in Bezug zum Botschaftssender, dem Nutzenden und der User-Journey gesetzt. Die persuasiven Design-Muster sind so konkret wie möglich und so abstrakt wie nötig gehalten, um auf breit gefächerte Kontexte wie E-Commerce, Marketing, Gesundheit oder ökologische Nachhaltigkeit anwendbar zu sein. Der Prozess bringt interdisziplinäre Teams von Produkt- und (Customer-)Experience-Designerinnen und -Designern, Marketingfachleuten, Software-Entwicklerinnen und -Entwicklern sowie Fachexpertinnen und -experten zusammen und hilft ein Produkt so zu entwickeln oder zu optimieren, dass es sowohl Nutzende als auch Unternehmen bereichert und Verhaltensziele fokussiert erreicht werden können.

The diversity of research domains and theories in the field of mathematics education has been a permanent subject of discussions from the origins of the discipline up to the present. On the one hand the diversity is regarded as a resource for rich scientific development on the other hand it gives rise to the often repeated criticism of the discipline s lack of focus and identity. As one way of focusing on core issues of the discipline the book seeks to open up a discussion about fundamental ideas in the field of mathematics education that permeate different research domains and perspectives. The book addresses transformation as one fundamental idea in mathematics education and examines it from different perspectives. Transformations are related to knowledge, related to signs and representations of mathematics, related to concepts and ideas, and related to instruments for the learning of mathematics. The book seeks to answer the following questions: What do we know about transformations in the different domains? What kinds of transformations are crucial? How is transformation in each case conceptualized?"

Illicit cross-border flows, such as the smuggling of drugs, migrants, weapons, toxic waste, and dirty money, are proliferating on a global scale. This underexplored, clandestine side of globalization has emerged as an increasingly important source of conflict and cooperation among nation-states, state agents, nonstate actors, and international organizations. Contrary to scholars and policymakers who claim a general erosion of state power in the face of globalization, this pathbreaking volume of original essays explores the selective nature of the stateOs retreat, persistence, and reassertion in relation to the illicit global economy. It fills a gap in the international political economy literature and offers a new and powerful lens through which to examine core issues of concern to international relations scholars: the changing nature of states and markets, the impact of globalization across place and issue areas, and the sources of cooperation and conflict.

Change is an ongoing aspect of education and educators are always seeking alternative and effective approaches to it. The approaches, in the context of mathematics teacher education, discussed in this book are based on joint work between the individuals involved in the process. However, the factors that influence success within co-operative or collaborative change processes have not been the focus of scientific investigation. This book systematically investigates collaborative endeavours in a number of different domains of teacher education. The fifteen chapters in the four main sections of the book explore and reflect on a variety of issues related to collaborative mathematics teacher education practice and research - such as classroom coaching, mentoring or co-learning agreements - highlighting the evolution and implications of collaborative enterprises in different cultural settings. The resultant accounts should appeal to educational researchers, research students and practitioners around the world.

Die Bevolkerung Deutschlands schrumpft und altert. In immer mehr Kommunen trifft die Erosion der baulichen und sozialen Umwelt auf eine altere Bewohnerschaft, fur deren Lebensqualitat Stabilitat und Kontinuitat besonders bedeutsam sind. Ausgehend von theoretischen Modellen der okologischen Gerontologie und einer breiten Datenbasis aus eigenen empirischen Erhebungen in Hoyerswerda und Wolfen analysiert Andreas Peter die vielschichtige Mensch-Umwelt-Beziehung im Alter unter den Bedingungen von Schrumpfung und Stadtumbau. Es werden praxisrelevante und ubertragbare Orientierungsmoglichkeiten fur verschiedene lokale Akteure abgeleitet, die dazu beitragen konnen, Risiken fur die Lebensqualitat im Alter zu minimieren. Daruber hinaus diskutiert er die Herausforderungen und Perspektiven fur die raumbezogene Altersforschung infolge des demografischen Wandels und macht deutlich, dass stadtebauliche Konzepte mit okogerontologischen Aspekten zu verschranken sind."

Das Thema Stadtumbau im Zusammenhang mit der Bewaltigung des Wohnungsleerstandes wird aus Sicht der betroffenen Akteursgruppen (Bewohner einerseits, Entscheidungstrager andererseits) behandelt und in den Rahmen zukunftsfahiger Stadtentwicklung gestellt.

Ausgehend von der derzeitigen Diskussion um die Spitalsreformen in Osterreich und die Notwendigkeit, dass im Gesundheitssystem gespart werden muss, werden in diesem Buch zwei Operationsmethoden (Suburethralband und Deszensus-Operation unter Einsatz eines Meshes) aus der Urogynakologie unter dem Gesichtspunkt von Kosteneinsparungen durch die Verkurzung der stationaren Liegezeiten betrachtet. Da derzeitig in dem Bereich der Urogynakologie noch keine derartigen detaillierten Berechnungen zu Kosteneinsparungen vorliegen, wird hiermit von dem Autor ein erster Ansatz zu solchen Berechnungen und den zu erzielenden Kosteneinsparungen geliefert. Anhand von Vergleichen und Berechnungen, dargestellt in 98 Tabellen, konnte der Autor nachweisen, dass erhebliche Kosteneinsparungen durch eine Verkurzung der stationaren Liegezeiten bei diesen untersuchten Operationen zu erzielen sind. Allerdings mussen gleichzeitig im Gesundheitssystem Osterreichs strukturelle Veranderungen stattfinden, damit es zu diesen Einsparungspotentialen kommen kann. Vorschlage zu diesen strukturellen Veranderungen werden in diesem Buch unterbreitet.
