This book explores the different ways Francophone research on news media has faced the challenges of dependence and independence from three complementary perspectives. The first is economics - how can sustainable business models be developed and to what extent can crowdfunding help to maintain the financial and editorial independence of newsrooms? Secondly, in a time where the role of journalism in the public sphere is more questioned than ever, the authors evaluate to what extent news media can embody the needs of their readers. Thirdly, the authors consider the historical and political context of publication in the light of the 'Arab Spring'. This book deals with major, contemporary evolutions of news media, bringing together research that considers the media in France, Canada, and the Arab region (notably Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, and Egypt). Using numerous case studies, this book helps to define how complex the question of independence is today.

On August 1, 2007, just after 6:00 p.m., during the evening rush hour in Minneapolis, the 1,900-foot-long, eight-lane I-35W bridge buckled and crashed into the Mississippi River. The unimaginable had happened right on the doorstep of the University of Minnesota Twin Cities campus. Many of the first responders were from the University, persevering in the midst of chaos and disbelief. In the ensuing weeks, research and engineering teams from the University reviewed the wreckage, searched for causes, and began planning for the future. The City, the River, the Bridge represents another set of responses to the disaster. Stemming from a 2008 University of Minnesota symposium on the bridge collapse and the building of a new bridge, it addresses the ramifications of the disaster from the perspectives of history, engineering, architecture, water science, community-based journalism, and geography. Contributors examine the factors that led to the collapse, the lessons learned from the disaster and the response, the policy and planning changes that have occurred or are likely to occur, and the impact on the city and the Mississippi River. The City, the River, the Bridge demonstrates the University's commitment to issues that concern the community and shares insights on public questions of city building, infrastructure, and design policy.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 15th European Workshop on Computer Performance Engineering, EPEW 2018, held in Paris, France, in October 2018. The 17 papers presented together with the abstracts of two invited talks in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 27 submissions. The papers presented at the workshop reflect the diversity of modern performance engineering, with topics ranging from advances in performanceengineering realm, including, dependability and security modeling, performance oriented model verification and testing, hardware and software systems case-studies, applications/extensions of queuing theory and network design

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 17th European Workshop on Computer Performance Engineering, EPEW 2021, and the 26th International Conference, on Analytical and Stochastic Modelling Techniques and Applications, ASMTA 2021, held in December 2021. The conference was held virtually due to COVID 19 pandemic. The 29 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 39 submissions. The papers presented at the workshop reflect the diversity of modern performance evaluation, with topics ranging from modeling and analysis of network/control protocols and high performance/big data information systems, analysis of scheduling, blockchain technology, analytical modeling and simulation of computer and network systems.

Frauen, die im mittelstandischen Unternehmen ihres Ehemannes bzw. Partners mitarbeiten, und zwar unabhangig vom Bezug eines Entgelts fur ihre Tatigkeit, sind Gegenstand dieser Studie. Als Vergleichsgruppen wurden Mitinhaberinnen sowie Alleininhaberinnen in diesem Unternehmenssegment herangezogen. Insgesamt konnten knapp 1500 Frauen in der Auswertung der Fragebogen berucksichtigt werden. Besonderes Interesse galt dabei neben der Doppelbelastung der Frauen in Beruf und Haushalt auch Aspekten ihrer Qualifiaktion, der Art ihrer Mitarbeit sowie ihrer sozialen Absicherung. In zahlreichen Graphiken und Tabellen wird eine anschauliche Beschreibung der aktuellen Situation dieser Frauen vermittelt. Neben objektiven Daten bietet die Studie einen Einblick in die eigene Einschatzung der Position der Frauen in Beruf und Familie"

Auf der Grundlage einer umfangreichen Stichprobe erfolgt eine Beschreibung der Struktur von Kleinbetrieben mit weniger als 20 Beschaftigten in Baden-Wurttemberg. Damit liegen zum ersten Mal in Deutschland breite Einsichten fur kleine Familienunternehmen vor.
Besondere Aufmerksamkeit gilt dem betrieblichen Engagement der Inhaberfamilien. Die Analyse der personellen Strukturen ermoglicht Einblicke in die Qualifikationsstruktur, die Versorgungssituation und die Altersvorsorge der im Betrieb tatigen Inhaber und ihrer Angehorigen.
Dieses Buch bietet eine Fulle von Materialien fur alle, die am wirtschaftlichen Geschehen in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland interessiert sind, insbesondere fur die Interessenverbande der Wirtschaft."
