Der Band dokumentiert die Ergebnisse des Braunschweiger Projekts ‚Stadtteil in der Schule‘. Ziel des Projektes ist es, Teilhabechancen für Kinder in sozialen Brennpunkten zu erhöhen, indem GrundschülerInnen und deren Familien der Zugang zu vorhandenen sozialen und kulturellen Angeboten im Stadtteil bedarfsgerecht ermöglicht wird. Anders als klassische Ansätze der Schulsozialarbeit orientiert es sich nicht an individuellen Problemen. Es ist nicht Einzelfall-, sondern Sozialraumorientiert und hat das Gesamtsystem im Blick, also Schülerinnen und Schüler, Eltern, die schulischen Mitarbeiter, aber auch die Akteure des Gemeinwesens. “Stadtteil in der Schule” versucht Ressourcen der Schule und der Zivilgesellschaft für Kinder zu nutzen und nutzt Techniken der Netzwerkarbeit.

Saramago's Jesus is the son not of God but of Joseph. Mary Magdalene is his lover not his convert. In the wilderness he tussles not with the Devil – a kindly and necessary evil – but with God, a fallible, power-hungry autocrat. And he must die not for the sins of the fathers but for the sins of the Father. By investigating these simple inversions Saramago has woven a dark parable; a secular gospel of astonishing richness and depth.‘An original, wild and beautiful book’ Times Literary Supplement

Scotland and South Africa are mixed jurisdictions, combining features of common law and civil law traditions. Over the last decade a shared feature in both Scotland and South Africa has been a new intense focus on human rights. In Scotland the European Convention on Human Rights now constitutes an important element in the foundation of all domestic law. Similarly, the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, adopted in 1996, has as its cornerstone a Bill of Rights that binds not only the legislature, the executive, the judiciary and all organs of state, but also private parties. Of course the "constitutional moments" from which these documents sprang were very different and the Scottish and South African experience in some aspects could not be more dissimilar. Yet in many respects the parallels are close and compelling. This book, written by experts from both jurisdictions, examines exactly how human-rights provisions influence private law, looking at all branches of the subject. Moreover, it gives a unique perspective by comparing the approach in these kindred legal systems, thus providing a benchmark for both. Key Features: Twenty comparative case studies in private law and human rights A challenging collaboration between South African and Scots Universities Considers the impact of a bill of fundamental human rights upon the legal relationships between private individuals

Trauma ist inzwischen kein »Modebegriff« mehr und nach Ansicht kompetenter Traumatherapeuten auch nie gewesen. Die Traumaperspektive ist in Psychotherapie, Psychoanalyse, Psychosomatik und Psychiatrie fest etabliert. Es ist unabweisbar, dass Traumatisierungen, insbesondere in Kindheit und Jugend, die Lebensperspektive der Betroffenen zeitlebens überschatten und die Gesellschaft auf Jahrzehnte belasten. »Zeit heilt alle Wunden« drückt einen Wunsch aus. Dieser Spruch ist entstanden aus der Erfahrung von einem Teil der Traumatisierten, deren Störungen sich tatsächlich in einigen Monaten bessern. Beruhigend, beschwichtigend, vielleicht sogar abschiebend ist diese Redewendung jedoch bei jenen Traumatisierten, deren Störungen eben nicht von der Zeit geheilt werden, denen aber bisher nicht zu helfen war. Heute ist weit mehr möglich als noch vor zehn Jahren. Dieses Kompendium legt die Fortschritte in Forschung und Therapie zu zentralen Fragen der Psychotraumatologie vor. Einige Kontroversen sind inzwischen wissenschaftlich fundiert zu beantworten, etwa die Frage: Stabilisieren oder Konfrontieren? Hier lautet die einfache, klinisch lange bekannte und inzwischen empirisch belegte Antwort: Stabilisieren und Konfrontieren. Weitere Kontroversen werden zu neuen Fragen und Antworten führen.

`Young shopworkers on Henry Street in Dublin, who in 1984 refused to handle the fruits of apartheid, provided me with great hope during my years of imprisonment, and inspiration to millions of South Africans.' Nelson Mandela Dunnes Stores cashier Mary Manning knew little about apartheid when, at the age of twenty-one, she refused to register the sale of two Outspan South African grapefruits under a directive from her union. She was suspended and nine of her co-workers walked out in support. They all assumed they would shortly return to work. But theirs were kindling voices, on the cusp of igniting a mass movement they couldn't even imagine. Despite harassment from the Gardai and disparagement from the Irish government and even the Catholic Church, they refused to be silenced. Within months they were embroiled in a dispute that captured the world's attention. In this searing account, Mary tells the extraordinary story of their public fight for justice, as well as her emotive journey of discovery into her family's past. Mary's mother had been forced to carry a secret burden of shame for her whole life by the same oppressive establishment Mary was fighting. Striking Back is a provocative and inspiring story that epitomises the resilience of hope and the human spirit, even under the most formidable of circumstances. It shows that each of us has the power to change the world.

Adler untersuchte bereits in seinen frÃ"hen Schriften die große Bedeutung von sozialen EinflÃ"ssen auf die Persönlichkeitsentwicklung von Menschen. Dies veranlasste ihn, auch nach seiner Trennung von Freud zahlreiche Erziehungsfragen zu thematisieren und in seinen Veröffentlichungen zu behandeln. Der Band 4 der Alfred Adler Studienausgabe enthält die bedeutendsten dieser Schriften.Die kommentierten und mit editorischen Vorbemerkungen versehenen Texte Adlers behandeln unter anderem: die pädagogische Bedeutung der Beziehungserfahrungen von Kinder in den ersten Lebensjahren; pädagogische EinflÃ"sse auf die Entwicklung von SelbstwertgefÃ"hl und Selbstwertregulation; die Bedeutung emotionaler Faktoren fÃ"r die Ausbildung von kognitiven Fähigkeiten und das Zustandekommen schulischer Leistungen; die Entfaltung von GemeinschaftsgefÃ"hl als Gegenbewegung zum Streben nach Macht und Ãberlegenheit; Möglichkeiten der Prophylaxe von Entwicklungs- und Erziehungsschwierigkeiten und deren Bearbeitung in Prozessen der Erziehungsberatung. Adler war Ã"berzeugt, dass die nachhaltige Verbesserung erzieherischer Gegebenheiten an den Erfolg von weitreichenden ReformbemÃ"hungen gebunden ist, die der Dynamik unbewusster Prozesse Rechnung tragen. Deshalb verdeutlichen die vorliegenden Schriften auch Adlers Bedeutung fÃ"r die Entstehung tiefenpsychologischer Ansätze in der Pädagogik sowie die Schwerpunkte seines Einflusses auf die Reformpädagogik des frÃ"hen 20. Jahrhunderts. Diese beziehen sich vor allem auf die Bereiche der Familienerziehung, der Schulpädagogik, der Ausbildung von Pädagogen und der Konzeptualisierung sowie Institutionalisierung von Erziehungsberatung und sind bis heute von Relevanz. Zahlreiche Fallbeispiele lassen Adlers Theorie und seine Art des Arbeitens lebendig werden.

On the afternoon of December 30, 1903, during a sold out matinee performance, a fire broke out in Chicago's Iroquois Theatre. In the short span of twenty minutes, more than six hundred people were asphyxiated, burned, or trampled to death in a panicked mob's failed attempt to escape. In ""Chicago Death Trap: The Iroquois Theatre Fire of 1903"", Nat Brandt provides a detailed chronicle of this horrific event to assess not only the titanic tragedy of the fire itself but also the municipal corruption and greed that kindled the flames beforehand and the political cover-ups hidden in the smoke and ash afterwards. Advertised as ""absolutely fireproof,"" the Iroquois was Chicago's most modern playhouse when it opened in the fall of 1903. With the approval of the city's building department, theater developers Harry J. Powers and William J. Davis opened the theater prematurely to take full advantage of the holiday crowds, ignoring flagrant safety violations in the process. The aftermath of the fire proved to be a study in the miscarriage of justice. Despite overwhelming evidence that the building was not complete, that fire safety laws were ignored, and that management had deliberately sealed off exits during the performance, no one was ever convicted or otherwise held accountable for the enormous loss of life. Lavishly illustrated and featuring an introduction by Chicago historians Perry R. Duis and Cathlyn Schallhorn, ""Chicago Death Trap: The Iroquois Theatre Fire of 1903"" is rich with vivid details about this horrific disaster, captivatingly presented in human terms without losing sight of the broader historical context.

This open access book provides an overview of the dissertations of the eleven nominees for the Ernst Denert Award for Software Engineering in 2020. The prize, kindly sponsored by the Gerlind & Ernst Denert Stiftung, is awarded for excellent work within the discipline of Software Engineering, which includes methods, tools and procedures for better and efficient development of high quality software. An essential requirement for the nominated work is its applicability and usability in industrial practice.The book contains eleven papers that describe the works by Jonathan Brachthäuser (EPFL Lausanne) entitled What You See Is What You Get: Practical Effect Handlers in Capability-Passing Style, Mojdeh Golagha’s (Fortiss, Munich) thesis How to Effectively Reduce Failure Analysis Time?, Nikolay Harutyunyan’s (FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg) work on Open Source Software Governance, Dominic Henze’s (TU Munich) research about Dynamically Scalable Fog Architectures, Anne Hess’s (Fraunhofer IESE, Kaiserslautern) work on Crossing Disciplinary Borders to Improve Requirements Communication, Istvan Koren’s (RWTH Aachen U) thesis DevOpsUse: A Community-Oriented Methodology for Societal Software Engineering, Yannic Noller’s (NU Singapore) work on Hybrid Differential Software Testing, Dominic Steinhofel’s (TU Darmstadt) thesis entitled Ever Change a Running System: Structured Software Reengineering Using Automatically Proven-Correct Transformation Rules, Peter Wägemann’s (FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg) work Static Worst-Case Analyses and Their Validation Techniques for Safety-Critical Systems, Michael von Wenckstern’s (RWTH Aachen U) research on Improving the Model-Based Systems Engineering Process, and Franz Zieris’s (FU Berlin) thesis on Understanding How Pair Programming Actually Works in Industry: Mechanisms, Patterns, and Dynamics – which actually won the award. The chapters describe key findings of the respective works, show their relevance and applicability to practice and industrial software engineering projects, and provide additional information and findings that have only been discovered afterwards, e.g. when applying the results in industry. This way, the book is not only interesting to other researchers, but also to industrial software professionals who would like to learn about the application of state-of-the-art methods in their daily work.

AS SEEN ON GOOD MORNING AMERICAHave you ever accomplished something you weren’t so sure you could do? Success has always been the end goal, but when you achieve it ... something infuriatingly predictable happens. You start wondering what more you can do.Instead of success bringing you happiness, it hands you an increased hunger to achieve something even bigger. And with that desire also comes uncertainty, self-doubt, anxiety and stress.Success, in other words, is kinda wonderful ... but it’s also kinda hell. Welcome to Wonderhell.Wonderhell is that space in your psyche where the burden of your newly discovered potential plops down, unpacks its backpack, and asks: Hey, you! Whatcha got for me?Living in an ambitious, results-oriented society, we often mischaracterize the turbulent emotions that surround success, deeming them a “necessary evil”—a byproduct of one’s rise to the top. We tend to think that we just need to survive these difficult moments, to hang on by our fingernails and somehow get through these stressful, unwanted side effects of our success. We torture ourselves with a never-ending internal dialogue: I can handle this. Can I handle this?But we are wrong. Learning to live in this newfound potential can be exciting rather than exhausting. Emotions like fear, anxiety, and heartbreak are not collateral damage, slings and arrows to be absorbed and swallowed down, silenced and pushed aside. Rather, each emotion is a portal that shows us what more we can do, if instead we recognize that on the other side of this wonderful hell that we so badly wanted is another and another and another . . . but only if we choose to accept it.

Few composers even begin to approach Beethoven's pervasive presence in modern Western culture, from the concert hall to the comic strip. Edited by a cultural historian and a music theorist, Beethoven and His World gathers eminent scholars from several disciplines who collectively speak to the range of Beethoven's importance and of our perennial fascination with him. The contributors address Beethoven's musical works and their cultural contexts. Reinhold Brinkmann explores the post-revolutionary context of Beethoven's "Eroica" Symphony, while Lewis Lockwood establishes a typology of heroism in works like Fidelio. Elaine Sisman, Nicholas Marston, and Glenn Stanley discuss issues of temporality, memory, and voice in works at the threshold of Beethoven's late style, such as An die Ferne Geliebte, the Cello Sonata op. 102, no. 1, and the somewhat later Piano Sonata op. 109. Peering behind the scenes into Beethoven's workshop, Tilman Skowroneck explains how the young Beethoven chose his pianos, and William Kinderman shows Beethoven in the process of sketching and revising his compositions. The volume concludes with four essays engaging the broader question of reception of Beethoven's impact on his world and ours. Christopher Gibbs' study of Beethoven's funeral and its aftermath features documentary material appearing in English for the first time; art historian Alessandra Comini offers an illustrated discussion of Beethoven's ubiquitous and iconic frown; Sanna Pederson takes up the theme of masculinity in critical representations of Beethoven; and Leon Botstein examines the aesthetics and politics of hearing extramusical narratives and plots in Beethoven's music. Bringing together varied and fresh approaches to the West's most celebrated composer, this collection of essays provides music lovers with an enriched understanding of Beethoven--as man, musician, and phenomenon.

Based on a two-year study that followed boys from pre-kindergarten through first grade, When Boys Become Boys offers a new way of thinking about boys’ development. Through focusing on a critical moment of transition in boys’ lives, Judy Y. Chu reveals boys’ early ability to be emotionally perceptive, articulate, and responsive in their relationships, and how these “feminine” qualities become less apparent as boys learn to prove that they are boys primarily by showing that they are not girls. Chu finds that behaviors typically viewed as “natural” for boys reflect an adaptation to cultures that require boys to be stoic, competitive, and aggressive if they are to be accepted as “real boys.” Yet even as boys begin to reap the social benefits of aligning with norms of masculine behavior, they pay a psychological and relational price for renouncing parts of their humanity. Chu documents boys’ perceptions of the obstacles they face and the pressures they feel to conform, showing that compliance with rules of masculinity is neither automatic nor inevitable. This accessible and engaging book provides insight into ways in which adults can foster boys’ healthy resistance and help them to access a broader range of options as they seek to connect with others while remaining true to themselves.

What can the richly imagined, impressively adaptable fantasy world of children tell us about childhood, development, education, and even life itself? For fifty years, teacher and writer Vivian Gussin Paley has been exploring the imagery, language, and lore of young children, asking the questions they ask of themselves. With the publication of Boys and Girls in 1984, Paley took readers inside a kindergarten classroom to show them how boys and girls play-and how, by playing and fantasizing in different ways, they work through complicated notions of gender roles and identity. This new edition of Paley's classic book reignites issues that are more important than ever for a new generation of students, parents, and teachers. The Boy on the Beach, meanwhile, continues Paley's work, going deeper into the mystery of play as she follows a group of children through the kindergarten year. Rich with the words of children and teachers themselves, the book delves into questions new and old, reminding us that Paley's interests and approach remain as vital as ever. Both books are vintage Paley, wise and provocative appreciations of the importance of play and the nature of childhood and the imagination.

Das Kniegelenk, welches sich in der Abstammungsreihe als Bestandteil der hinteren Extremität bei den ersten auf dem Lande lebenden Tieren ausgebildet hat, nahm an der weiteren Evolution nicht in einem so großen Umfang teil wie Hände und Gehirn. Trotzdem ist seine Bedeutung für den Menschen groß, weil dieser die ihm eigenen Merkmale der geistigen Leistungsfähigkeit und der manu­ ellen Geschicklichkeit nur bei ungestörtem Fortbewegungsvermögen voll ent­ falten kann. Die Möglichkeiten einer Störung seines Ganges durch Kniegelenkverände­ rungen sind zahlreich. Angeborene und erworbene Formänderungen der Gelenk­ bestandteile, Beeinträchtigungen durch Systemerkrankungen des Organismus, Entzündungen, Verletzungen, Geschwülste, Arbeitsschäden und degenerative Vorgänge sind zu nennen. Obwohl Anatomie, Physiologie und die genannten Alterationen nach eingehenden Untersuchungen in ausführlichen Einzelabhand­ lungen beschrieben sind, ist die Orientierung über manche Fragen schwierig, weil eine zusammenfassende, auf die Praxis abgestimmte Darstellung der genannten Probleme bislang im In-und Ausland nicht erschienen ist. Diese Lücke auszu­ füllen, ist Zweck des vorliegenden Buches. Neu hinzugekommen ist in dieser Monographie eine ausführliche Besprechung des Femoropatellargelenkes auf Grund eines umfangreichen Literaturstudiums und langjähriger persönlicher Untersuchungen. Durch die gewonnenen Erkennt­ nisse ließen sich einige, bisher problematische Fragen einfach beantworten und manches "Mysteriöse" wurde geklärt. Das Buch dürfte für einen breiten Leserkreis interessant sein, vornehmlich für Chirurgen, Orthopäden, gutachterlich tätige Ärzte, aber auch für Internisten und Kinderärzte.
