Transatlantic Homeland Security: Protecting Society in the Age of Catastrophic Terrorism
by Anja Dalgaard-Nielsen Daniel HamiltonThis major new study presents both conceptual and practical guidance at a crucial time when intellectual and practical efforts to protect against the new terrorism should move beyond a purely domestic focus. Creating an effective and integrated national homeland security effort is a significant challenge. Europe and the United States have reacted differently to the emergence of mass casualty terrorism, but must work together to cope with the diverse issue areas, sectors, professions, and relevant actors involved in such a broad-based concept. The authors suggest that Europe and the US have a lot to gain by coordinating more closely, and that the exchange of experience is crucial as we attempt to stay ahead of a learning enemy.

A Death in Rembrandt Square (Lotte Meerman Ser.)
by Anja De JagerGuilty until proven innocent . . .It's hard for anyone to have their work scrutinised in public. For Amsterdam-based detective Lotte Meerman, listening to the Right to Justice podcast as they dissect one of her old cases is made even more harrowing as every episode makes fresh accusations of a bungled operation.As the podcast reveals hidden facts about the arrest of Ruud Klaver, the one thing Lotte is still convinced of is that it was Ruud who was guilty of the murder of a student near Rembrandt Square ten years earlier. However, when Ruud Klaver then dies in suspicious circumstances, only hours after the final podcast proving his innocence is broadcast, Lotte has to accept that maybe she was wrong.With the dead man's family passionately against her inclusion in the investigation into his death, the only way for Lotte to discover who killed him is by finding out where she went wrong all those years ago - if indeed she did go wrong.

Death on the Canal (Lotte Meerman Ser.)
by Anja De JagerWhere do your priorities lie?In her latest case, Dutch detective Lotte Meerman finds herself faced with a moral dilemma - does she investigate the murder of a suspected drug dealer ... or does she stay silent to ensure that another man, responsible for the drug-related deaths of six tourists in Amsterdam, is successfully convicted? Drinking outside a canalside bar on a perfect summer's evening, Lotte is witness to the fatal stabbing of Piotr Mazur, a Polish security guard working in one of the city's department stores. And as Lotte starts to investigate Mazur's death she keeps finding facts that potentially link him to the case of the dead tourists - but soon realises that the head of the team investigating their murders is trying to bury the information just as quickly as she unearths it. Lotte saw the victim in the bar moments before he was killed, and he was with a woman who passed him a photo of a child. She is now convinced that his death wasn't a revenge-killing over drugs after all... but she has to think carefully about what to do for the best, especially as key evidence in Mazur's murder comes from someone she knows she cannot trust.

Er wendet sich an Expertinnen und Experten aus Politik, Wissenschaft und Verbänden sowie allgemein an Personen, die sich mit der Gestaltung des Gesundheitswesens und der Krankenhausversorgung befassen.
Transgression and Deviance in the Ancient World
by Lennart Gilhaus Imogen Herrad Michael Meurer Anja DornSocial coexistence is made possible and regulated by norms. Which actions are labeled and sanctioned as transgressions of norms is the result of social negotiation processes. Transgression and norm deviance can both stabilize and undermine the existing norm system. The contributions to this anthology aim to provide some impulses on the relationship between norm and deviance in ancient societies by means of selected case studies from the Greek classical period to the Roman imperial period and to investigate the role of transgressive acts for the dynamics of social systems. In 8 contributions, among others on the cult of Artemis, on the tragedian Agathon, on Cicero, Lucan and Tacitus, the topic is treated in a model-like manner.
Trance Mediums and New Media: Spirit Possession in the Age of Technical Reproduction
by Anja Dreschke Martin ZillingerOngoing debates about the “return of religion” have paid little attention to the orgiastic and enthusiastic qualities of religiosity, despite a significant increase in the use of techniques of trance and possession around the globe. Likewise, research on religion and media has neglected the fact that historically the rise of mediumship and spirit possession was closely linked to the development of new media of communication.This innovative volume brings together a wide range of ethnographic studies on local spiritual and media practices. Recognizing that processes of globalization are shaped by mass mediation, the volume raises questions such as: How are media like photography, cinema, video, the telephone, or television integrated in seances and healing rituals? How do spirit mediums connect with these media? Why are certain technical media shunned in these contexts?
Freshwater Challenges of South Africa and its Upper Vaal River
by Anja Du PlessisThis book promotes better understanding and awareness of South Africa' significant water problems by describing the country's and especially the Vaal River's water resources. It is a "go-to" book for students, professionals and regular citizens when information is required regarding the country's and more specifically the Vaal River's freshwater resources. It highlights the major problems and risks which need to be addressed and give a realistic and true representation of the current water affairs.
Water as an Inescapable Risk: Current Global Water Availability, Quality And Risks With A Specific Focus On South Africa (Springer Water)
by Anja Du PlessisThe book presents an interdisciplinary systematic evaluation of increasing water stress and scarcity over the globe and specifically South Africa. South Africa is used as the prime example as the country is experiencing similar water challenges in terms of availability and quality as most regions across the globe. Water availability is predominantly used to illustrate water scarcity however, continued degradation of the world’s freshwater resources, by a multitude of natural and anthropogenic factors, have consequently exacerbated water stress and scarcity due to it being of insufficient quality for various uses. The increase of water scarcity through both natural and anthropogenic factors has in turn led to water being viewed as an increasing risk within all spheres. Water as a source of conflict has come to the forefront especially within regions which struggle to meet the increasing demands from different water users and trying to achieve future sustainability of the resource. The increase of water scarcity and stress as well as the continued pressure of population and economic growth has brought various new challenges into play. This book focuses on water as an increasing risk over the globe and specifically South Africa by reviewing both water availability and quality, evaluating water as a global and national risk. The book concludes by focusing on current limitations, necessary strategic actions as well as possible policy-related changes which may be required to adapt to future water challenges and to lessen water as an increasing risk.
Volcanic Debris Avalanches: From Collapse to Hazard (Advances in Volcanology)
by Matteo Roverato Anja Dufresne Jonathan ProcterThis book presents an overview of volcanic debris avalanche deposits, which are produced by partial volcanic edifice collapse, a catastrophic natural phenomenon. It has been 40 years since the volcanic debris avalanche associated with the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens, and our understanding of these events has grown considerably in the interim. Drawing on these advances, the book addresses all aspects of volcanic debris avalanches. Though previously overlooked in field-based geological and volcanological studies, these deposits are now known to be associated with most volcanoes and volcanic areas around the world. The book presents state-of-the-art ideas on the triggering and emplacement mechanisms of these events, supported by field and analogue studies, as well as new simulations tools and models used to determine their physical characteristic and hazards.
Learning Leadership: Führung lebenslang neu lernen
by Anja Ebert-SteinhübelDieses Fachbuch ist ein Plädoyer für ein neues, zeitgemäßes Führungs- und Lernverhalten, mit dem es gelingt, auf Veränderungen der durch Digitalisierung und Globalisierung geprägten Arbeitswelt flexibel zu reagieren. Die Autorin demonstriert, dass Führen und lebenslanges Lernen unlösbar miteinander verbunden sind: Leadership kann und muss gelernt werden und ist Teil eines unternehmensweiten Lernprozesses. Lernen wiederum benötigt Führung, d.h. klare Entscheidungen, inspirierende Ziele und eine überzeugende Kommunikation, sowie die nötigen technischen, strukturellen und kulturellen Voraussetzungen einer auf Wandel ausgerichteten Organisation. Die Autorin eröffnet Führungskräften eine neue Perspektive im Hinblick auf die Handlungsfelder Organisation, Team und (Führungs-)Persönlichkeit und fordert zum Weiterdenken und -lernen auf. Das Buch beinhaltet eine konkrete Agenda des Lernens für unterschiedliche Führungstypen und -situationen und zeigt auf, wie die Verbindung zwischen individuellem, organisationalem und gesellschaftlichem Lernen gelingt.
Bildungs- und Berufsvorstellungen von Bachelorabsolventen und -absolventinnen: Empirische Analysen anhand von Befragungs- und Registerdaten (Lernweltforschung #38)
by Anja Eder Sarah Aldrian Katharina DemanIm Zentrum des Sammelbands steht der Bildungsübergang von Bachelor- in Masterstudien, welcher durch die Studienstrukturreform des europäischen Hochschulraums seit über 20 Jahren besteht. Trotz des Ausmaßes der Umstellung in die dreigliedrige Studienarchitektur wurde dieser Übertrittsphase insbesondere im Hinblick auf die Situation der Hochschulen in Österreich bislang wenig Aufmerksamkeit gewidmet. Um der Komplexität der Entscheidungssituation beim Übertritt vom Bachelor zum Master Rechnung zu tragen, werden verschiedene Gruppen von Akteur*innen, deren institutionelle Einbettung und die gesellschaftlichen Rahmenbedingungen sowie geltende Normen in den Blick genommen. Dazu präsentiert der Band neue Erkenntnisse aus Befragungen mit Studierenden und Studienverantwortlichen an der Universität Graz, mit Fokus auf die Situation in den Geisteswissenschaften, sowie aus der österreichischen Registerdatenforschung. Die Befunde liefern, ergänzend zur Hochschulstatistik, ein tieferes Verständnis der Bildungs- und Berufsvorstellungen und -wege von Bachelorabsolvent*innen. Vor dem Hintergrund teils rückläufiger Studierendenzahlen, dem Wettbewerb um Studierende sowie aktuellen bildungspolitischen Diskussionen füllt der Band ein Forschungsdesiderat und bietet Hochschulverantwortlichen eine empirisch fundierte Grundlage.
Ethnic Stratification and Economic Inequality around the World: The End of Exploitation and Exclusion?
by Max Haller collaboration Anja EderThe modern world is characterised by pervasive economic inequalities. Strong economic growth in some developing countries has contributed to a degree to a reduction in the levels of inequality between nations, yet inequality within nations remains high and in some cases, continues to increase. Ethnic Stratification and Economic Inequality around the World investigates the reasons for these striking differences, exploring the coincidence and interaction between economic stratification and ethnic differentiation. Drawing on extensive international survey and statistical data, the author develops a new theory and concrete hypotheses concerning the conditions which lead toward extreme inequality and those which tend toward greater equality. A systematic examination of the interaction between class structures, social stratification and ethnic differentiation, this book sheds light on the manner in which the resulting social structures produce different levels of economic inequality, offering a fivefold typology of patterns of ethnic stratification, which can be applied to present-day world regions. Drawing on the work of Max Weber to provide a rigorous investigation of inequality around the world, it demonstrates what 'sociology as a science of social reality' can significantly contribute to our understanding of global economic stratification. The book is relevant for a wide social-scientific audience, particularly for sociologists, economists and political scientists working in a comparative perspective.
Forests in International Law
by Anja EikermannThis book investigates the potential need for an international convention on forests and establishes a multifunctional concept of forests as a cornerstone for international forest regulation. Accordingly, it examines a variety of international instruments pertaining directly or indirectly to forests and explores their entangled, fragmented nature. While contending that the lack of consistency in international law impedes the development of a stand-alone international forest convention, at the same time it argues that the lessons learned from fragmentation as well as from the history of forest discourse on the international level open up new options for the regulation of forests in international law, based on (new) concepts of coordination and cooperation.
Welfare to Work in Contemporary European Welfare States: Legal, Sociological and Philosophical Perspectives on Justice and Domination
by Anja Eleveld, Thomas Kampen and Josien ArtsWith welfare to work programmes under intense scrutiny, this book reviews a wide range of existing and future policies across Europe. Seventeen contributors provide case studies and legal, sociological and philosophical perspectives from around the continent, building a rich picture of welfare to work policies and their impact. They show how many schemes do not adequately address social rights and lived experiences, and consider alternatives based on theories of non-domination. For anyone interested in the justice of welfare to work, this book is an important step along the path towards more fair and adequate legislation.

Revolution in Rojava
by Michael Knapp Anja Flach Ercan AyboğaRevolution in Rojava tells the story of Rojava's groundbreaking experiment in what they call democratic confederalism, a communally organized democracy that is fiercely anti-capitalist and committed to female equality, while rejecting reactionary nationalist ideologies. Rooted in the ideas of imprisoned Kurdish leader Abdullah Ocalan, the system is built on effective gender quotas, bottom-up democratic structures, far-sighted ecological policies, and a powerful militancy that has allowed the region to keep ISIS at bay. Given the widespread violence and suffering in Syria, it's not unreasonable that outsiders look at the situation as unrelentingly awful. And while the reality of the devastation is undeniable, there is reason for hope in at least one small pocket of the nation: the cantons of Rojava in Syrian Kurdistan, where in the wake of war people are quietly building one of the most progressive societies in the world today.

by Anja Franke-SchwenkAnja Franke-Schwenk analysiert die Herrschaftsstrategien der kasachstanischen Präsidentschaft im Zeitraum von 1991-2011 vor dem besonderen Hintergrund des Ressourcenreichtums. Dabei arbeitet sie vier Strategien heraus: Strategie der Freundschafts- und Familienbande, Kooptationsstrategie, Repressionsstrategie sowie Pazifizierungsstrategie. Die Analyse der rentierstaatlichen Herrschaftsstrategien erfolgt im Kontext einer ausführlichen Studie über die kasachstanische politische und wirtschaftliche Elite und deren neopatrimonialen Verflechtungen. Hierbei reflektiert die Autorin die klassischen Erklärungskonzepte neopatrimonialer Herrschaft kritisch und bietet Alternativen an.
Das Ende der Nacht: Die globale Lichtverschmutzung und ihre Folgen
by Thomas Posch Anja Freyhoff Thomas Uhlmann Herausgegeben VonJedem Stadtbewohner fällt auf, dass wir nachts aufgrund immer heller werdender künstlicher Beleuchtung kaum mehr Sterne am Himmel sehen können. Doch dies ist nur die Spitze des Eisbergs, was den Verlust natürlicher nächtlicher Dunkelheit betrifft. Menschen und Tiere - darunter Nachtfalter, Zugvögel und Meeresschildkröten - leiden mittlerweile rund um den Globus an der Zerstörung des Tag-Nacht-Rhythmus durch die übermäßige Erhellung der Nacht. Beim Menschen können Krankheiten und eine Zunahme von Stress die Folgen sein. Das gesamte Phänomen, das bisher nur in Fachkreisen bekannt war, wird in diesem Werk erstmals umfassend und reichhaltig illustriert vorgestellt - von Experten aus Deutschland, der Schweiz, Österreich und den USA. Es ist für jeden geeignet, der sich für ein harmonisches Miteinander von Mensch und Natur sowie einen gesunden Arbeits- und Lebensrhythmus interessiert. Das Buch beruht auf der Fernsehdokumentation "The Dark Side of Light" von Anja Freyhoff und Thomas Uhlmann. Während der Dreharbeiten ist reichhaltiges und ungewöhnliches Bildmaterial entstanden, das die "dunkle Seite" des Lichts aussagekräftig illustriert.
