Dieses Buch beschäftigt sich mit der Frage, warum wir für viele der Herausforderungen unserer Zeit so schwer Lösungen finden. Um Armut, Rassismus oder den Klimawandel zu stoppen oder Frieden, persönliches Glück und Wohlstand zu erreichen, brauchen wir die Fähigkeit, strategisch wirksam zu handeln. Heutige Strategiekonzepte sind vom militärischen Paradigma der Überlegenheit durch Stärke im Kampf durchdrungen. Die Komplexität ökologischer, ökonomischer und gesellschafts-politischer Probleme macht es aber unmöglich, sie direkt zu bekämpfen. Nicht Überlegenheit durch Stärke, sondern Anpassung durch Veränderung kann uns den Lösungen näherbringen.Dieses Buch setzt sich mit den aktuell verwendeten Strategiemodellen kritisch auseinander, insbesondere mit dem weitverbreiteten Hauptinstrument, der SWOT. Auf Basis dieser grundlegenden Kritik wird ein neues Konzept der Veränderung des Veränderbaren konzipiert. Es eignet sich nicht nur für Strategieverantwortliche, Manager und Politiker, sondern beinhaltet auch wertvolle Ratschläge für alle, die wichtige Entscheidungen treffen oder verstehen müssen. Abschließend wird das neue Konzept an drei Beispielen theoretisch getestet; u.a. wird ein neuer strategischer Ansatz für die Begrenzung des Klimawandels vorgestellt.

This monograph contributes to the existence theory of difference sets, cyclic irreducible codes and similar objects. The new method of field descent for cyclotomic integers of presribed absolute value is developed. Applications include the first substantial progress towards the Circulant Hadamard Matrix Conjecture and Ryser`s conjecture since decades. It is shown that there is no Barker sequence of length l with 13<1<4x10^(12). Finally, a conjecturally complete classification of all irreducible cyclic two-weight codes is obtained.

Universities and Engagement is a timely and insightful book that examines what universities can contribute to their communities and economies through lifelong learning, a topic which is of increasing importance to Higher Education Institutions across the world. The book will offer an answer to the question 'What can be understood by University Lifelong Learning today?' by collating the work of specialists from across Europe and beyond who have first-hand experience in the field of university engagement through continuing education. With a diverse range of expertise from the UK, Ireland, Germany, Finland, Malta, Belgium, New Zealand, Austria and the USA, readers are guaranteed a varied and informative collection of perspectives on this important topic. Taken as a whole, the book provides a theoretical background for readers, drawing on recent research and practice examples from a variety of countries and institutional settings, as well as demonstrating a variety of conceptual approaches, confirming the diverse range of possible solutions. Key topics covered include: research into policy and practice; engaging with business and industry; engaging with communities; engaging with an ageing society; active citizenship and regional competitiveness. Developed in collaboration with the European University Continuing Education Network (EUCEN), Universities and Engagement is an invaluable contribution to research in the subject of lifelong learning. It will be of value to academics, practitioners and professionals with an interest in higher education and community management, and will be particularly suited to those interested in lifelong learning, adult education and community development.

Das Handbuch Bildungsforschung reprasentiert Stand und Entwicklung der Bildungsforschung - ein national wie international stark gewachsener Forschungsbereich. Unter Berucksichtigung des interdisziplinaren Charakters der Bildungsforschung wird ein systematischer UEberblick uber die wesentlichen Perspektiven, theoretischen Zugange und Forschungsergebnisse gegeben, der auch aktuelle Entwicklungen und Themen berucksichtigt. Das Handbuch integriert aktuelle und grundlegende Erkenntnisse der beteiligten Disziplinen Psychologie, Soziologie, Fachdidaktik, Politikwissenschaft, OEkonomie, Philosophie und Geschichte, wobei die Erziehungswissenschaft/Padagogik als zentrale Bezugsdisziplin verstanden wird. In die uberarbeitete Auflage wurden die Aspekte der Grundbildung, des informellen Lernens, der Professions- und UEbergangsforschung sowie die Perspektive einer organisationspadagogischen Lehr-Lernforschung einbezogen.

Friedrich Schleiermacher preached in the Reformed Church in Berlin from 1809 onwards. From 1812 up to 1828 he printed a special hymn sheet for each of his main services. But why? To answer this question it is necessary to undertake a systematic study of the hymn sheets, which are largely unknown. For this, the periodical for a whole year is presented with a commentary; the volume chosen is that for 1817, the first year that was dated throughout. It is preserved in its entirety with 31 hymn sheets. At the same time, the multi-faceted image of Schleiermacher presented by the KGA has an important new dimension added to it, that of Schleiermacher as a liturgist, hymnologist and publisher.

'Generation' wird aktuell zu einem grosseren Forschungsthema innerhalb der wissenschaftlichen Padagogik. Im Quer- und Langsschnitt weist der Begriff zahlreiche Verbindungen zu zentralen Fragestellungen der Bildungsforschung auf. Zur Bestimmung von Generation in padagogischen
Kontexten, von Generationenbeziehungen und intergenerativer Bildung, von Generation
und sozialem Wandel sowie Generationen in der Weiterbildung schreiben in diesem Band namhafte Erziehungswissenschaftlerinnen und Erziehungswissenschaftler und eroffnen damit einen neuen Diskurs."

This book provides an insight into the possibilities that so-called ""Electronic Government"" has to offer. It demonstrates the elements belonging to the concept of E-Government and acts as a point of reference for those aiming to implement it. Checklists and lists of questions enable self-assessment at local, state and federal levels, highlighting opportunities for further development. The book cannot be described as technical - programmers will not find any instructions. Instead, it is designed to act as a point of orientation for decision makers in the field of government and politics, without the need to get bogged down in technical details. Central to the book are the following questions: what is Electronic Government, what advantages does it bring to those involved with it, and how can it be introduced?
