This is an edited book with original scientific papers of the results of the 6th International Congress on Fossil Insects, Arthropods and Amber (FossilX3) held in Byblos, Lebanon in April, 2013. In the tradition of previous congresses, researchers from around the world gathered to discuss the latest developments and to build new co-operative endeavours. Recognizing that the future of our science is one of interdisciplinary collaboration, these meetings steadily grow in importance, and proceedings such as this reveal the latest hypotheses and conclusions, while inspiring others toward newer and greater goals.

Elijah Del Medigo (1458-1493) was a Jewish Aristotelian philosopher living in Padua, whose work influenced many of the leading philosophers of the early Renaissance. His Two Investigations on the Nature of the Human Soul uses Aristotle's De anima to theorize on two of the most discussed and most controversial philosophical debates of the Renaissance: the nature of human intellect and the obtaining of immortality through intellectual perfection. In this book, Michael Engel places Del Medigo's philosophical work and his ideas about the human intellect within the context of the wider Aristotelian tradition. Providing a detailed account of the unique blend of Hebrew, Islamic, Latin and Greek traditions that influenced the Two Investigations, Elijah Del Medigo and Paduan Aristotelianism provides an important contribution to our understanding of Renaissance Aristotelianisms and scholasticisms. In particular, through his defense of the Muslim philosopher Averroes' hotly debated interpretation of the De anima and his rejection of the moderate Latin Aristotelianism championed by the Christian Thomas Aquinas, Engel traces how Del Medigo's work on the human intellect contributed to the development of a major Aristotelian controversy. Investigating the ways in which multicultural Aristotelian sources contributed to his own theory of a united human intellect, Elijah Del Medigo and Paduan Aristotelianism demonstrates the significant impact made by this Jewish philosopher on the history of the Aristotelian tradition.

The 19th century saw the rise of Biblical Criticism in German universities, culminating in Wellhausen's radical revision of the history of biblical times and religion. For German-Jewish intellectuals, the academic discipline promised emancipation from traditional Christian readings of Scripture - but at the same time suffered from what was perceived as anti-Jewish bias, this time in scholarly robes. "Reclaiming the Hebrew Bible" describes the German-Jewish strategies to cope with Biblical Criticism - varying from an enthusiastic welcome in the early decades, through modified adoption in Jewish Reform circles, to resolute rejection in the Orthodox camp. The study surveys the awareness and attitudes towards Biblical Criticism in the popular German-Jewish periodicals, and analyzes in depth the works of the first modern Jewish historian I. M. Jost (1793-1860), of the theologian S. L. Steinheim (1789-1866), and of the Reform activist Siegmund Maybaum (1844-1919).

By combining an ethnographic study of youth with an analysis of the local state in the making, this research monograph introduces the perspective of "meandering lives" to grasp being young and growing up in the Gueckedou borderland, a remote space approximately 700 kilometers southeast of Conakry, Guinea's capital. This history-sensitive perspective represents a fruitful lens to not only depict youth but to also draw a nuanced picture of the functioning of the state in Guinea.

The time to come - as well as the exploration thereof - remains elusive for social actors and social scientists alike. The contributors accept the challenge to depict young men and women's future-creating activities in urban contexts of sub-Saharan Africa. Very consciously, they study young graduates having obtained a university degree and provide a vivid picture of their strategies to socially grow older by doing adulthood in contexts of great uncertainty. The examples include Burkina Faso, Guinea, Ethiopia, Mali and Tanzania, visually enriched through pictures taken by young Malian photographers.

Masterarbeit aus dem Jahr 2012 im Fachbereich Medien / Kommunikation - Public Relations, Werbung, Marketing, Social Media, Note: 1,3, Universitat Bayreuth (Juniorprofessur Direct Marketing), Veranstaltung: Online Marketing, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Obwohl Crowdsourcing-Projekte in der Praxis zunehmend zu Marketingzwecken durchgefuhrt werden, fand diese Thematik in der empirischen Marketingforschung bisher keine Beachtung. Daher ist die Zielsetzung der vorliegenden Studie, diese Forschungslucke durch eine Arbeit zum Thema Crowdsourcing als kommunikative Marketing- Massnahme' zu minimieren. Dabei wurde die Werbewirkung moderierender Parameter eines Crowdsourcing-Projektes auf das Konsumentenverhalten, im Vergleich zum Verzicht auf Crowdsourcing, untersucht. Auf Basis einer Literaturanalyse, sowie einer Vorstudie, wurden die Parameter, Produkt Involvement, Aufgabenkomplexitat, Teilnahme, sowie Kommunikation, als unabhangige und die ausgewahlten Werbewirkungskonstrukte als abhangige Variable selektiert. Die Untersuchung der affektiven Werbewirkung erfolgte anhand der Einstellung zur Marke, die kognitive Informationsverarbeitung, durch die wahrgenommene Einzigartigkeit des Produktes und die konativen Aspekte durch die Markengebundenheit, Weiterempfehlung und Kaufintention. Auf Basis relevanter Erkenntnisse der Werbewirkungs- und Kundenintegrationsforschung wurde zunachst ein konzeptionelles Rahmenmodell entwickelt, auf deren Grundlage das fundierte Hypothesensystem hervorging. Zu dessen empirischer Uberprufung wurde eine quantitative Online-Befragung mit N=1423 Datensatzen erhoben. Die varianzanalytische Auswertung der Daten bestatigt, sowohl fur Low-, als auch fur High-Involvement Produkte, den signifikant positiven Einfluss von Crowdsourcing auf das Konsumentenverhalten, gegenuber dem Verzicht auf Crowdsourcing. Daruber hinaus wurden die, durch Crowdsourcing induzierte emotionale Wertbeladenheit, die informative Auseinandersetzung mit der Marke, sowie die verhal
