Through case studies from diverse fields of cultural studies, this
collection examines how different constructions of identity were
mediated in England during the long eighteenth century. While the
concept of identity has received much critical attention, the
question of how identities were mediated usually remains implicit.
This volume engages in a critical discussion of the connection
between historically specific categories of identity determined by
class, gender, nationality, religion, political factions and age,
and the media available at the time, including novels, newspapers,
trial reports, images and the theatre. Representative case studies
are the arrival of children's literature as a genre, the creation
of masculine citizenship in Defoe's novels, the performance of
gendered and national identities by the actress Kitty Clive or in
plays by Henry Fielding and Richard Sheridan, fashion and the
public sphere, the emergence of the Whig and Tory parties, the
radical culture of the 1790s, and visual representations of
domestic and imperial landscape. Recognizing the proliferation of
identities in the epoch, these essays explore the ways in which
different media determined constructions of identity and were in
turn shaped by them.
Shedding light on an important and neglected topic in childhood
studies, Anja MA1/4ller interrogates how different concepts of
childhood proliferated and were construed in several important
eighteenth-century periodicals and satirical prints. MA1/4ller
focuses on The Tatler, The Spectator, The Guardian, The Female
Tatler, and The Female Spectator, arguing that these periodicals
contributed significantly to the construction, development, and
popularization of childhood concepts that provided the basis for
later ideas such as the 'Romantic child'. Informed by the
theoretical concept of 'framing', by which certain concepts of
childhood are accepted as legitimate while others are excluded,
Framing Childhood analyses the textual and graphic constructions of
the child's body, educational debates, how the shift from
genealogical to affective bonding affected conceptions of
parent-child relations, and how prints employed child figures as
focalizers in their representations of public scenes. In examining
links between text and image, MA1/4ller uncovers the role these
media played in the genealogy of childhood before the 1790s,
offering a re-visioning of the myth that situates the origin of
childhood in late eighteenth-century England.

This innovative collection of essays re-examines conventional ideas
of the history of childhood, exploring the child's increasing
prominence in eighteenth-century discourse and the establishment of
the category of age as a marker of social distinction alongside
race, class and gender. While scholars often approach childhood
within the context of a single nation, this collection takes a
comparative approach, examining the child in British, German and
French contexts and demonstrating the mutual influences between the
Continent and Great Britain in the conceptualization of childhood.
Covering a wide range of subjects, from scientific and educational
discourses on the child and controversies over the child's legal
status and leisure activities, to the child as artist and consumer,
the essays shed light on well-known novels like Tristram Shandy and
Tom Jones, as well as on less-familiar texts such as periodicals,
medical writings, trial reports and schoolbooks. Articles on visual
culture show how eighteenth-century discourses on childhood are
reflected in representations of the child by illustrators and
portraitists. The international group of contributors, including
Peter Borsay, Patricia Crown, Bernadette Fort, Brigitte Glaser,
Klaus Peter Jochum, Dorothy Johnson and Peter Sabor, represent the
disciplines of history, literature and art and reflect the
collection's commitment to interdisciplinarity. The volume's unique
range of topics makes it essential reading for students and
scholars concerned with the history and representation of childhood
in eighteenth-century culture.

This volume focuses on the (de)canonization processes in children's
literature, considering the construction and cultural-historical
changes of canons in different children's literatures. Chapters by
international experts in the field explore a wide range of
different children's literatures from Great Britain, Germany,
Scandinavia, the Low Countries, Eastern and Central Europe, as well
as from Non-European countries such as Australia, Israel, and the
United States. Situating the inquiry within larger literary and
cultural studies conversations about canonicity, the contributors
assess representative authors and works that have encountered
changing fates in the course of canon history. Particular emphasis
is given to sociological canon theories, which have so far been
under-represented in canon research in children's literature. The
volume therefore relates historical changes in the canon of
children's literature not only to historical changes in concepts of
childhood but to more encompassing political, social, economic,
cultural, and ideological shifts. This volume's comparative
approach takes cognizance of the fact that, if canon formation is
an important cultural factor in nation-building processes, a
comparative study is essential to assessing transnational processes
in canon formation. This book thus renders evident the structural
similarities between patterns and strategies of canon formation
emerging in different children's literatures.
The workshop Production-Comprehension Asymmetries in Child Language
held in Osnabruck in 2009 is the starting point for this book. The
workshop developed from the observation that children's production
skills appear to precede their comprehension skills in a number of
phenomena, e.g. pronouns or negation. The volume provides
cross-linguistic evidence for such asymmetric development and
investigates grammatical and methodical explanations of the
observed asymmetries.

Adaptations of canonical texts have played an important role
throughout the history of children's literature and have been seen
as an active and vital contributing force in establishing a common
ground for intercultural communication across generations and
borders. This collection analyses different examples of adapting
canonical texts in or for children's literature encompassing
adaptations of English classics for children and young adult
readers and intercultural adaptations of children's classics across
Europe. The international contributors assess both historical and
transcultural adaptation in relation to historically and regionally
contingent concepts of childhood. By assessing how texts move
across age-specific or national borders, they examine the traces of
a common literary and cultural heritage in European children's
literature.
Seminar paper from the year 2007 in the subject Sociology -
Culture, Technology, Peoples / Nations, grade: -, University of

22 entries in the bibliography, language: English, comment:
Includes Basic County Information (such as Geography, Population,
Climate, Education, Language etc.), National Symbols, History and
Political Facts, Economy, Culture, Current Issues (Trade Relations
to EU, Foreign Policy)., abstract: Since 1991, when Ukraine
declared its indepence, the country has experienced enormous
changes. The country is the largest country by size within Europe,
and it is inhabited by more than 46 million people. Yet, many facts
about the country remain unknown to most of the people living in
Germany. The following paper will give further information about
Ukraine, including basic country information, history, political
facts, the country's economy as well as culture and issues Ukraine
currently deals with.
Scholarly Research Paper from the year 2006 in the subject Business
economics - General, grade: 1,8, University of Cooperative
Education Mannheim, course: ABWL, 45 entries in the bibliography,
language: English, abstract: Fuel and diesel petrol are derived
from crude oil, and since this is a limited raw material, unevenly
distributed over the world, it will become very important in the
future to find alternatives to petrol; one of them are biofuels.
The present paper was written in order to find out about the
biofuels market in Europe. An overview of different types of
biofuels, including Biodiesel, Bioethanol, Synthetic Fuels as well
as various others was compiled, describing advantages and
disadvantages of each biofuel. Afterwards, Biodiesel is the main
focus of the conducted SWOT analysis. This is due to the fact that
Biodiesel is the major biofuel consumed within the EU, with a
market share of about 80% of all biofuels available. It is found
that Biodiesel does have several Strengths, both product Specific
and Environmental specific, which could help the product become
even more successful. On the other hand, Weaknesses, also product
Specific and Environment specific are shown. Also, Opportunities
and Threats are told about, with both of the topics divided into
Political influences, Environmental factors and Other factors.
Opportunities and Threats are influences coming from the outside,
and they cannot be directly influenced by the producers of
biofuels. Yet, knowing about these factors can be helpful in order
to plan for future actions and gain a better understanding of the
current situation of the product. Finally, a Conclusion shortly
sums up the information gained in course of the study, and
afterwards an Outlook for the future of biofuels is given. An
Overview of the SWOT analysis shows the researched information in a
compressed way in the Appendix.

Masterarbeit aus dem Jahr 2011 im Fachbereich BWL - Personal und
Organisation, Note: 1,9, Hochschule Darmstadt, Sprache: Deutsch,
Abstract: Personalcontrolling hat in den letzten Jahren verstarkt
an Bedeutung in deutschen Unternehmen gewonnen. Heutzutage steht
laut einer Studie der Deutschen Gesellschaft fur Personalfuhrung
e.V. (DGFP) nicht mehr das ob," sondern vielmehr das wie" im
Mittelpunkt der Personalcontrolling-Diskussion. Mittlerweile ist
das Personalcontrolling ein etablierter Funktionsbereich innerhalb
des Personalmanagements geworden. Jedoch ist nicht nur dieser
Institutionalisierungsgrad neu, sondern auch die Fragestellungen im
Personalcontrolling wurden in den letzten Jahren um einige neue
Facetten bereichert. Wahrend sich Personalcontrolling ursprunglich
hauptsachlich mit der Auswertung von harten Kennzahlen
beschaftigte, rucken mittlerweile vermehrt erweiterte
Personalcontrolling-Instrumente in den Vordergrund, die umfassende
Kontroll- und Analysetatigkeiten ermoglichen. 1.2 Zielsetzung und
Abgrenzung Das Ziel dieser Arbeit ist, im Rahmen eines modernen
Personalcontrollings die Anwendung des traditionellen Balanced
Scorecard Konzeptes auf den Personalbereich in Form einer
HR-Balanced Scorecard darzustellen. Die Balanced Scorecard kann
hierbei fur den Personalbereich genutzt werden, wodurch Effizienz-
und Effektivitatssteigerungen erzielt werden sollen. Anhand
praktischer Beispiele wird fur die Bereiche Personalversorgung und
Personalmanagement der Einsatz einer HR-Balanced Scorecard
demonstriert. 1.3 Aufbau der Arbeit Im ersten Teil der Arbeit
erfolgt eine Begriffsdefinition, sowie eine Darstellung der
Funktionen, Dimensionen und Ansatze des Personalcontrollings.
Daraufhin werden im nachsten Kapitel die Aufgaben des Controllings
im Rahmen operativer sowie strategischer Personalarbeit erlautert.
Im darauffolgenden Kapitel wird auf Kennzahlen als Grundlage des
Personalcontrollings naher eingegangen, um danach erweiterte

Diplomarbeit aus dem Jahr 2009 im Fachbereich Forstwirtschaft /
Forstwissenschaft, Note: 3,0, Hochschule fur Forstwirtschaft
Rottenburg am Neckar (Waldarbeit und Forsttechnik), Sprache:
Deutsch, Abstract: Die Waldarbeit gehort auch heute noch zu einer
der unfallreichsten Tatigkeiten der modernen Arbeitswelt. Die
Landesforstverwaltungen sind noch immer die grossten Arbeitgeber
fur Forstwirte. Sie haben sich zur Aufgabe gemacht, die
Unfallzahlen in ihren Betrieben zu senken, indem sie eng mit
Maschinenherstellern und der Landwirtschaftlichen
Berufsgenossenschaft zusammenarbeiten, die Ausbildung ihrer
Waldarbeiter gewahrleisten, Vorschriften und Gesetzte zur
Arbeitssicherheit anwenden. Mit Hilfe von Literaturrecherchen in
Buchern, Fachzeitschriften, Schriftenreihen und im Internet ist es
gelungen eine Zeitachse zu erarbeiten, die die Entwicklungen rund
um die Arbeitssicherheit bei der Waldarbeit darstellt. Es wurden
Daten zur Einfuhrung der Personlichen Schutzausrustung, der
Geschichte der Motorsage, alte Gesetzte und Verordnungen, erste
Harvester usw. herausgearbeitet. Diese Ergebnisse werden auf ihre
Bedeutung fur die Verringerung der Unfallzahlen bewertet und daraus
konnen Schlussfolgerungen gezogen werden, die auch fur die Zukunft
wichtig sind. Es zeigt sich deutlich, dass der Stand der Technik
und des Wissens, die Aus- und Fortbildung von Forstwirten und deren
Vorgesetzten und die Einfuhrung von Gesetzen und Verordnungen von
grosser Bedeutung fur die Arbeitssicherheit sind. Wichtige
Schlussfolgerungen fur die Senkung der Unfallzahlen: Tragen
geeigneter Schutzkleidung guter Aus- und Fortbildungsstand der
Forstwirte vorschriftsmassiges Verhalten am Arbeitsplatz geeignete
Fuhrungskrafte/ richtige Arbeitsplanung und - vorbereitung
Einhaltung aktueller Gesetze und Vorschriften/ Einhaltung der UVV
dem Sicherheitsstandard angepasste Arbeitsmittel Anwendung
geeigneter Arbeitsverfahren Motivation der Forstwirte zu sicherem
