This volume synthesizes the work accomplished at the 5th International Security Forum (ISF) in Zurich from 14 to 16 October 2002. It presents a thematic overview of 150 academic presentations distributed over 6 workshop tracks, 30 workshops, 15 side-bar presentations, and 3 plenary sessions. The book contains a timely overview of 21st century international security topics and challenges. Special emphasis is placed on the impact of new information and communications technologies and knowledge management in the conduct of security and defense policy, and on a wide range of issues in the field of security sector reform and the democratic and parliamentary control of armed forces. The contributions also offer a fresh perspective on traditional regional and human security issues in the light of 11 September 2001, notably asymmetric war, Islam, gender, small arms, Russia, and Europe, including NATO, ESDP, and peace support operations. The 5th ISF was organized by the Center for Security Studies and Conflict Research at the ETH Zurich (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich) in Zurich in cooperation with the Geneva Centre for Security Policy, the Geneva Centre for the Democratic Control of Armed Forces, and the Graduate Institute of International Studies, Geneva.

Around 1pm, every day of the week, nearly 600 bingo halls across the UK open their doors to thousands of loyal customers. But, although they can be found on almost every British high street, surprisingly few people ever see what goes on inside. In Bingo & Social Club, photographer Michael Hess opens up this world to a new audience. Behind the often-crumbling exteriors, he finds vibrant places full of strong characters, quirky details and more than a hint of nostalgia. In his own words: I want people to feel that they've spent a night at the bingo - to sense what it feels like to be there.A" Michael explains how the project started. I played bingo one night in 2005, just out of curiosity about what went on inside the big old converted cinema near my house. I was instantly fascinated by the characters. And so the next time I visited, I took my camera. 4 years and more than 60 bingo halls later I was ready to make Bingo & Social Club.A" Michael Hess and Maxine Gallagher spent many nights in the clubs, playing bingo, chatting with the managers and customers, and collecting stories from the people they met. They wanted to find out who these people really were. Bingo halls are not just about gambling; they're about human beings. They really do act as social hubs for many communities.A" Jack, the manager of a bingo club in Newcastle, forms the backbone of the book. He's quite a character - tough and yet extremely dignified - and I knew straight away he could add the extra dimension I was looking for. I've always been inspired by classic movies, and he suited the enigmatic lead role perfectly.A"

Palynology, the science of fossil and recent spores/pollen grains, is of high importance, both in many pure and applied fields of the natural sciences (e.g. in botany, geology, climatology, archeology and medicine). It is not only an auxiliary science, but can certainly stand for itself. The "classical" palynology subjects, pollen morphology and systematics, are at present influenced by many modern approaches, e.g. from cell biology, analytical electron microscopy, morphometry, up to com- puter-aided-design of threedimensional reconstruction. In recent years fascinating informations have come to light, and new insights have given rise to changing scientific concepts. During the XIV International Botanical Congress, held in Berlin in 1987, a symposium was devoted to important topics of (actuo)palynology. Nine of its innovative, major contributions are presented in this volume. They cover the comparative morphology and the systematic/evolutionary significance of pollen/spores in critical taxa, aspects of pollen development (cytoskeleton), the substructure of sporopollenin, homologies between wall strata of ferns, gymnosperms and angiosperms, and important (but so far underrated) physical aspects of harmomegathy and pollen transport (fluid versus solid mechanics).

The anther tapetum, present in all land plants, is a highly specialized, transient tissue surrounding the (micro-)spores and/or pollen grains during their development. Any tapetum malfunction causes male sterility. The exact knowledge of tapetum form and function therefore is indispensable not only for basic research, but also and especially in plant breeding and plant genetics. In fourteen contributions by reknown experts, a comprehensive account of the various characters and functions of the tapetum is provided, covering the areas of cytology, cytophysiology, biochemistry, tapetum development and function.

Palynology is important in basic as well as in manifold applied sciences, as e.g. biology, medicine, forensics, earth history, climatology and food production. This volume is the first fully illustrated handbook of palynological principles and glossary terms, exclusively using LM and EM micrographs of superior quality. A comprehensive General Chapter on pollen morphology, anatomy, pollen development etc. based on the present knowledge in palynology introduces the reader in the world of pollen. The glossary part comprises more than 300 widely used terms illustrated with over 1.000 high quality light and/or electron microscopic pictures to show the character range of a term. Terms are grouped by feature, e.g. ornamentation, where each term is illustrated on a separate page, definition and original citation included and where necessary, provided with a comprehensive explanatory comment. The term's use in LM, SEM or TEM and its assignment to anatomical, morphological and/or functional pollen features is indicated by icons and colour coding, respectively. This handbook is not only a valuable source for students and researchers but also for all persons interested in pollen and its aesthetic beauty.

Bachelorarbeit aus dem Jahr 2008 im Fachbereich Sudasienkunde, Sudostasienkunde, Note: 1,5, Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universitat Bonn (Orient- und Asienwissenschaften), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Als ich eine Dokumentation uber das Massaker von Nogunri sah, bei dem hunderte koreanische Fluchtlinge durch amerikanische Soldaten getotet wurden, wurde mein Interesse zum Korea-Krieg verstarkt. Ich begann Bucher und Zeitschriften zu lesen, sowie Dokumentationen und koreanische Spielfilme zu schauen, um ein tieferes Verstandnis zu gewinnen. In einem Urlaubssemester flog ich nach Korea und besuchte viele Schauplatze des damaligen Krieges, wie zum Beispiel die DMZ, Panmunjeom, Nogeunri und das War Museum in Seoul. Aufgrund des angeeigneten Wissens wunschte ich mir dann bei meiner Bachelor-Arbeit einen Bezug auf den Korea-Krieg. Da der Korea-Krieg in Deutschland auch der unbekannte" oder der vergessene Krieg" genannt wird, soll diese Arbeit die weitgreifende Bedeutung des Krieges, auch hier in Deutschland, in das Bewusstsein der heutigen Zeit rufen. Die Auswirkungen des Krieges breiten sich in den unterschiedlichsten Themenbereichen aus, wie zum Beispiel Literatur, Film, Gesellschaft und Politik. Auf den folgenden Seiten soll verstarkt auf die global politischen Zusammenhange eingegangen und ein besonderes Augenmerk auf Entwicklungen und Erkenntnisse der jungeren Zeit gelegt werden.

Diplomarbeit aus dem Jahr 2001 im Fachbereich Ingenieurwissenschaften - Bauingenieurwesen, Note: 2,0, Hochschule Anhalt - Standort Dessau (Architektur und Bauingenieurwesen), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Inhaltsangabe: Zusammenfassung: Die Aufgabenstellung der von mir bearbeiteten Diplomarbeit lautet: Bemessung einer Strassenbrucke in Stahlbetonweise nach Eurocode. Diese Diplomarbeit besitzt den Charakter einer Entwurfsplanung. Das Bruckenbauwerk ist fiktiv, die Abmessungen sind von mir frei gewahlt worden. Das Ziel dieser Diplomarbeit ist, in dieser Form als Planungsgrundlage fur ahnliche Bruckenbauwerke zu dienen. Die Strassenbrucke wird nach Eurocode bemessen, genauer gesagt, nach DIN Fachbericht 101: Einwirkungen auf Betonbrucken und DIN Fachbericht 102: Betonbrucken. Diese sind im Auftrag des Bundesministeriums fur Verkehr, Bau- und Wohnungswesen (BMVBW) erarbeitet worden. Die DIN Fachberichte 101 und 102 fassen diese verschiedenen Regelwerke zu einem im Zusammenhang lesbaren und als Vertragsgrundlage geeigneten Dokument zusammen. Dadurch wird die Planung von Bruckenbauwerken erheblich erleichtert. Besonders hervorzuheben ist die Tatsache, dass die aufwendige Untersuchung der dynamischen Einwirkungen entfallt, da im DIN Fachbericht 101 in den charakteristischen Verkehrslasten bei den gewohnlichen Arten von Strassenbrucken der dynamische Faktor bereits enthalten ist. Die Schwerpunkte dieser Diplomarbeit setzen sich aus der Ermittlung der Einwirkungen, die auf den zu bemessenden Bruckenuberbau wirken, der Ermittlung der daraus resultierenden Schnittkrafte, der Bemessung und baulichen Durchbildung zusammen. Zusatzlich erfolgt die Bemessung der Lager, auf denen der Uberbau ruht. Die Bemessung der Widerlager ist aufgrund der begrenzten Bearbeitungszeit nicht Bestandteil dieser Diplomarbeit.
