Abstract

Das Dach ist die Urform menschlicher Behausungen, bei dem Holz als Baustoff für die Verwendung von Dachkonstruktionen - zumindest im Wohnhausbau - nach wie vor eine enorme Bedeutung zukommt. Aufgrund des geringen Gewichts, der schnellen Montage, der Elementierbarkeit und der modernen Verbindungstechnik werden auch in Zukunft Holzdachstühle in Verwendung sein. Das Buch gibt einen Überblick über die gängigen Konstruktionssysteme, die im Altbau und Neubau angewendet werden, bis hin zu Sonderformen, Dachgaupen und modernen Konstruktionen.In der Neuauflage wurden speziell die Auswirkungen der aktuellen Normen berücksichtigt (EUROCODE 5) sowie die Arten der Dachstühle, Verbindungen und Hallentragwerke überarbeitet. Auch Hinweise zur Bestandsanalyse zur späteren Dachraumnutzung fehlen nicht. This second edition offers an overview of the typical construction techniques used in pre- and post-war buildings, including special forms, dormers, and modern design approaches. In the new edition, the chapter on roof trusses, connective elements, and hall structures has been revised to incorporate current standards. The work also provides tips for assessing buildings with a view to the future utilization of attic space.

Abstract

Building with wood as an ecologically viable material is a tradition with a long history. In the most typical method, elements are connected by using wood joints which do not require the assistance of adhesives or metal connectors. By looking at several hundred examples from Japan, China and 18 European countries, this book describes in great detail the history of timber architecture in terms of its technical, aesthetic and ecological dimensions. This thorough study is a mine of information to specialists in this field; it opens up to the craftsman of today what has become an almost forgotten world and provides a fascinating account for the general reader. The new introduction to the third edition reviews developments since the first publication of this book in 1997. Das Bauen mit Holz als einem gestalterisch eigenständigen und ökologisch sinnvollen Werkstoff hat eine lange Tradition. Bei der typischen Technik des Bauens mit Holz, der reinen Holzverbindung, werden die Elemente ohne Leim oder Metall einzig durch das gekonnt entworfene Ineinander der hölzernen Teile verbunden. Hier wird die Geschichte der Holzarchitektur in ihren technischen, ästhetischen und ökologischen Dimensionen detailgenau anhand von hunderten Beispielen aus Japan, China und europäischen Ländern beschrieben. Aus einem ganzheitlichen Verständnis entsteht ein Bild des Bauens mit Holz, das Fachleute informiert, Baupraktikern eine fast verlorene Welt neu erschließt und Laien ganz einfach zu faszinieren vermag. Die neue Einleitung resümiert die jüngsten Entwicklungen der letzten Jahre.

Abstract

'The Off-Screen' offers a comprehensive theory of film, a concise history of American cinema from Griffith to Tarantino, and a reflection on the place and significance of film within the general context of the arts of modernity. It does this by focusing on an element at the very heart not only of film but of modern art in general (meaning here the various artistic media of modernity as they have been developed from the Renaissance onward).

Abstract

Changes in Fatherhood How do structural changes in the welfare state, in gender relations and work affect concepts and realities of fatherhood? The authors analyse cultural images and representations of fatherhood, varieties of fatherhood in relation to social backgrounds, organisational infl uences, as well as the impact of political and legal interventions on confi gurations of fatherhood. With an interdisciplinary approach this book's contributions investigate the sometimes contradictory relationship between cultural representations and social practices of fatherhood. They contextualise diverse fatherhoods in various social backgrounds, ethnicities, ages and different national contexts. Refl ecting methodological challenges is crucial to the volume's approach: Which parameters are used to quantify change? Which links and interactions between cultural, individual, organizational and societal dimensions do exist regarding the development of new social confi gurations of fatherhood? How can the complex interaction between structural constraints and agency be analysed? Can certain agents of change be identifi ed? How can social change be conceptualized? This volume links to international comparative research and shows how fruitful it can be to break disciplinary boundaries. How do men react to new expectations to fatherhood? Why has the adaptation toequality in the home been so slow? What defines fatherhood? These are the basicquestions explored in this volume. We are taken through a journey on fatherhoodover 14 individual contributions representing a variety of scientific fields. Thevolume is divided into three sections: cultural, social, and institutional fatherhood. European Journal of Population 29/2013

Abstract

Zou het niet geweldig zijn als u de mensen om u heen voortaan moeiteloos kunt overtuigen van uw ideeën, thuis en op het werk ? Het kan, door slim in te spelen op hun onbewuste vooroordelen. Ons brein is weerloos tegen de overtuigingskracht van de woorden en beelden waarin wij zelf geloven. Door hier op in te spelen en uw ideeën slim te framen kun je net als succesvolle politici en reclamemakers andere mensen onzichtbaar overtuigen. Probeer ze niet te manipuleren, maar maak uw boodschap zo herkenbaar dat ze het direct met u eens zijn. Luisteren uw collega's niet naar wat u zegt, blijven klanten ongeïnteresseerd en trekken uw kinderen zich niets van u aan ? Dan is het tijd om u niet te richten op wat u zegt, maar op wat zij horen !Bouwend op nieuwe neurologische en sociaal-psychologische inzichten en jarenlange ervaring in het bedrijfsleven en de politiek laat taalstrateeg Sarah Gagestein zien wat werkt. Gagestein is gespecialiseerd in framing en weet als geen ander hoe u controle kunt krijgen over uw eigen ideeën.Bron : http://www.managementboek.nl

Abstract

This Open-Access book investigates corporate diplomacy as a legitimation strategy of multinational companies in the United Arab Emirates. The author applies a neo-institutional public relations perspective, according to which societal expectations significantly shape corporate diplomacy communication. Using a multi-method research design, the author shows how corporate diplomacy is used in the host country, what role local media coverage and relationship management fulfill, and what effects corporate diplomacy has on corporate legitimacy in the host country community, i.e., UAE residents. The findings provide substantial insights into how multinational corporations seek legitimacy through corporate diplomacy and demonstrate how these efforts and the legitimation of corporations are affected by the media and the host country's public.

Abstract

Lateinamerika kennt zahlreiche Protestbewegungen seiner indigenen Bevölkerung. Einer der emblematischsten Fälle ist die soziale Bewegung gegen ein Prestige-Projekt der Morales-Regierung: den Bau einer Straße im Indigenen Territorium und Nationalpark Isiboro Sécure (TIPNIS) im bolivianischen Amazonasgebiet. Mit Blick auf die Perspektiven der heterogenen Protestakteur*innen rekonstruiert Maximilian Held diesen Widerstand in seinen komplexen Erscheinungsformen. Dabei stellt er heraus, wie Problematiken der geschwächten indigenen Selbstverwaltung, sozioökologische Bedrohungen, Defizite des neoextraktiven Entwicklungsmodells und mangelnde Rechtsumsetzung zusammenhängen.

Abstract

The world has undergone a revolution in assisted reproduction, as processes such as in vitro fertilization, embryonic screening, and surrogacy have become commonplace. Yet when governments attempt to regulate this field, they have not always been successful. Canada is a case in point: six years after the federal government created comprehensive legislation, the Supreme Court of Canada struck it down for violating provincial authority over health. In Assisted Reproduction Policy in Canada, Dave Snow provides the first historical exploration of Canadian assisted reproduction policy, from the 1989 creation of the Royal Commission on New Reproductive Technologies to the present day. Snow argues the federal government's policy failure can be traced to its contradictory "policy framing," which sent mixed messages about the purposes of the legislation. In light of the federal government's diminished role, Snow examines how other institutions have made policy in this emerging field. Snow finds provincial governments, medical organizations, and even courts have engaged in considerable policymaking, particularly with respect to surrogacy, parentage, and clinical intervention. The result-a complex field of overlapping and often conflicting policies-paints a fascinating portrait of different political actors and institutions working together. Accessibly written yet comprehensive in scope, Assisted Reproduction Policy in Canada highlights how paying attention to multiple policymakers can improve our knowledge of health care regulation.
