Abstract

The research presented in this book discusses how to efficiently retrieve track and trace information for an item of interest that took a certain path through a complex network of manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers, and consumers. To this end, a super-ordinate system called "Discovery Service" is designed that has to handle large amounts of data, high insert-rates, and a high number of queries that are submitted to the discovery service. An example that is used throughout this book is the European pharmaceutical supply chain, which faces the challenge that more and more counterfeit medicinal products are being introduced. Between October and December 2008, more than 34 million fake drug pills were detected at customs control at the borders of the European Union. These fake drugs can put lives in danger as they were supposed to fight cancer, take effect as painkiller or antibiotics, among others. The concepts described in this book can be adopted for supply chain management use cases other than track and trace, such as recall, supply chain optimization, or supply chain analytics.

Abstract

Hardly anyone would doubt the potential of information technology (IT) to connect individuals, firms and organisations. Whether this power to connect will actually lead to the integration of markets and societies is a different issue. The articles collected in this book shed light on several aspects that are crucial for the success of global communication networks: they range from an appropriate framework for regulation and suitable strategies of firms that act as international players, to the inclusion of customers in defining product and service strategies, and from problems of access to advanced technology and networks for all groups in society regardless of their social status or geographical location to the role of new technologies in facilitating universal communication.

Abstract

The fourth edition of this textbook has been thoroughly revised in order to reflect the central role which geodesy has achieved in the past ten years. The Global Geodetic Observing System established by the IAG utilizes a variety of techniques to determine the geometric shape of the earth and its kinematics, the variations of earth rotation, and the earth's gravity field. Space techniques play a fundamental role, with recent space missions also including gravity field recovery. Terrestrial techniques are important for regional and local applications, and for validating the results of the space missions. Global and regional reference systems are now well established and widely used. They also serve as a basis for geo-information systems. The analysis of the time variation of the geodetic products provides the link to other geosciences and contributes to proper modelling of geodynamic processes. The book follows the principal directions of geodesy, providing the theoretical background as well as the principles of measurement and evaluation methods. Selected examples of instruments illustrate the geodetic work. An extensive reference list supports further studies. The book is intended to serve as an introductory textbook for graduate students as well as a reference for scientists and engineers in the fields of geodesy, geophysics, surveying engineering and geomatics.

Abstract

Pieter Bruegel the Elder and Religion offers new insight into the religious dimension of Bruegel's art. With a number of highly original and thorough case studies, the volume illuminates Bruegel's inventive and multifaceted engagement with the contemporary religious concepts and practices of his day and age. Religion remains a vital question in the life and career of Bruegel, because it was so long believed to be more or less absent from his work. As a pioneer of the new genres of landscape and peasant scenes, Bruegel was heralded as a ground-breaking "secular" painter. This volume highlights the most recent scholarship on the artist, offering a much more nuanced portrait of Bruegel's engagement with the dynamic religious landscape of the mid-sixteenth century. Contributors are: Jessica Buskirk, Ralph Dekoninck, Bertram Kaschek, Walter S. Melion, Jürgen Müller, Anna Pawlak, Gerd Schwerhoff, Larry Silver, and Michel Weemans.

Abstract

This book offers new insights into the theory and practice of economic airport regulation. In light of recent developments in aviation markets and policy, and the debate on airport regulation and benchmarking, it offers case studies on various aspects of economic regulation of city and regional airports. Written by experts in the field, the volume features contributions on the theory of regulation and benchmarking, as well as case studies on recent experiences in Europe and Latin America. This book is divided into three parts: Part I provides the theoretical background for the study of airport regulation and regulatory systems. Competition at airports is discussed, as are common forms of regulation and potential pitfalls. Part II addresses benchmarking, as benchmarking is often applied as an input to the regulatory process. Although benchmarking is necessary, reviews of how benchmarking is applied in the literature and in practice show that improvements can be made. Part III provides case studies on real-world examples. Addressing the question of whether and how European airport regulators set incentives for efficiency, and how benchmarking is used in the regulatory process, this book is an important contribution to the development of the transport industry in Europe and Latin America. It will appeal to scholars and students in transport economics, regional economics and related fields, as well as to practitioners and policy makers in the transport industry.

Abstract

In jüngerer Vergangenheit hat sich die weitgehend ideologisch geführte gesamtgesellschaftliche Debatte zur Frage nach der „richtigen“ Bewertung des zunehmenden Konsums cannabishaltiger Produkte zugespitzt. Für die einen besteht hinreichender Grund, an der bisherigen (grundsätzlichen) Verbotspolitik festzuhalten, die anderen sehen gerade in dieser „Kriminalisierung“ einer „gesellschaftlichen Kulturerscheinung“ das eigentliche Problem. Die wissenschaftliche Aufklärung und kritische Infragestellung der sattsam bekannten Argumente war zentrale Zielsetzung des im November 2016 veranstalteten Göttinger Expertenworkshops. Der vorliegende Band umfasst die Beiträge aller Referenten, um weitere Aufsätze ergänzt, und präsentiert damit die Expertise renommierter Wissenschaftler aus den Bereichen der (Sucht-)Medizin, Psychiatrie und Psychotherapie, Rechtsmedizin und Medizinrecht. Welche Schlussfolgerungen hieraus jedoch für die aktuelle rechtspolitische Frage nach einer evtl. Legalisierung zu ziehen sind, soll dem interessierten Leser nicht aufgedrängt, sondern seinem eigenen Nachdenken überlassen bleiben.

Abstract

Le sculture, gli affreschi e le poesie di Michelangelo rispecchiano l'ortodossia cattolica, o sono piuttosto l'opera di un seguace della Riforma costretto alla segretezza? La questione della religiosità di Michelangelo è tuttora dibattuta favorendo spesso prospettive fin troppo unilaterali. Questo volume, che riunisce contributi dall'ambito della storia dell'arte, degli studi letterari e della storia della religione, intende affrontare la questione in tutta la sua complessità. Do Michelangelo's sculptures, frescoes, and poems reflect Catholic orthodoxy or are they rather the work of a follower of the Reform, forced to act in secret? The question of Michelangelo's religious belief is still debated, and the positions taken tend to remain unilateral. This volume gathers contributions by art historians, literary scholars, and historians of religion who address this question in all its complexity.

Abstract

Biographical note: Uwe Israel ist Professor für Mittelalterliche Geschichte an der TU Dresden. Jürgen Müller ist Professor für Mittlere und Neuere Kunstgeschichte an der TU Dresden. Long description: Obwohl sich die natürliche Identität des menschlichen Körpers angesichts der Möglichkeiten technischer oder diskursiver Überformung zunehmend als Illusion erweist, bleibt er doch weiterhin Bezugspunkt und Ausdruck von Identitätsvorstellungen. Dabei kann der eigene Körper mit Gesten schmähend aktiv werden oder kann über vorgegebene Normen, denen er angeblich nicht entspricht, Erniedrigung erleiden. Ausgehend von solchen Überlegungen lotet dieser Band das invektive Potential des menschlichen Körpers aus historischer, gegenwartsbezogener und systematisch-konzeptueller Perspektive aus. Die Beiträge diskutieren Aspekte von Affizierbarkeit, Devianz und Geschlecht sowie Körpermetaphern, den pathologisierten Körper oder den Körper der Mächtigen. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0
