Verkürzte Produktlebenszyklen und ein erhöhtes Maß an Individualisierung erfordern den vermehrten Einsatz flexibler Fertigungsprozesse. Vor diesem Hintergrund gewinnt die Technologie der additiven Fertigung im Produktionsumfeld stetig an Bedeutung. In dieser Arbeit wird deshalb die Möglichkeit des Einsatzes laserbasierter additiver Fertigungsverfahren im Werkzeugbau der Massivumformung untersucht. Der Fokus liegt dabei auf den resultierenden Materialeigenschaften, da diese ausschlaggebend für den Einsatz im Werkzeugbau. Insbesondere werden das Verhalten unter Zug- und Druckbelastung sowie die Härte analysiert. Die Identifikation des zugrundeliegenden Gefüges findet mittels Mikroskopie statt. Die Fertigung der analysierten Körper erfolgt durch Laserstrahlschmelzen im Pulverbett und Laser-Pulverauftragschweißen. Des Weiteren ist der Einfluss einer thermischen Nachbehandlung Bestandteil der Untersuchungen. Auf Basis der erarbeiteten Ergebnisse wird das Potential der additiven Fertigung für den Werkzeugbau in der Massivumformung abgeleitet und der Einsatz eines additiv gefertigten Werkzeugs für eine ausgewählte Fertigungsfolge durch die Verwendung im Serienbetrieb nachgewiesen.

Alena Ledeneva invites you on a voyage of discovery to explore society’s open secrets, unwritten rules and know-how practices. Broadly defined as ‘ways of getting things done’, these invisible yet powerful informal practices tend to escape articulation in official discourse. They include emotion-driven exchanges of gifts or favours and tributes for services, interest-driven know-how (from informal welfare to informal employment and entrepreneurship), identity-driven practices of solidarity, and power-driven forms of co-optation and control. The paradox, or not, of the invisibility of these informal practices is their ubiquity. Expertly practised by insiders but often hidden from outsiders, informal practices are, as this book shows, deeply rooted all over the world, yet underestimated in policy. Entries from the five continents presented in this volume are samples of the truly global and ever-growing collection, made possible by a remarkable collaboration of over 200 scholars across disciplines and area studies. By mapping the grey zones, blurred boundaries, types of ambivalence and contexts of complexity, this book creates the first Global Map of Informality. The accompanying database (www.in-formality.com) is searchable by region, keyword or type of practice, so do explore what works, how, where and why!

This volume considers how feminist, queer and trans* musicians, filmmakers, curators, and performance artists contribute to popular culture. It explores the many ways of relating to difference that their contributions enable. What affects do their works engender? How do they fabricate and circulate provocative messages about new forms of gender, race, class, and desire? What other visions do they inspire?

Countering antigypsyism in film is the problem field which this edited collection inaugurates. The aim is to shift the focus from antigypsyism critique and open up alongside it a new set of discussions about the artistic counterstrategies to antigypsyism, highlighting the need for intertextual, transcultural, and transmedial approaches in the analysis. The contributions foreground the applicability of the research findings and provide a broad range of examples, which may be useful to filmmakers and professionals from the film industry. The volume documents the case studies presented at the international workshop “Artistic Alternatives to the Antigypsy Gaze” held in Heidelberg in 2021.

From the global geopolitical arena to the smart city, control over knowledge—particularly over data and intellectual property—has become a key battleground for the exercise of economic and political power. For companies and governments alike, control over knowledge—what scholar Susan Strange calls the knowledge structure—has become a goal unto itself. The rising dominance of the knowledge structure is leading to a massive redistribution of power, including from individuals to companies and states. Strong intellectual property rights have concentrated economic benefits in a smaller number of hands, while the “internet of things” is reshaping basic notions of property, ownership, and control. In the scramble to create and control data and intellectual property, governments and companies alike are engaging in ever-more surveillance. This open access book is a guide to and analysis of these changes, and of the emerging phenomenon of the knowledge-driven society. It highlights how the pursuit of the control over knowledge has become its own ideology, with its own set of experts drawn from those with the ability to collect and manipulate digital data. Haggart and Tusikov propose a workable path forward—knowledge decommodification—to ensure that our new knowledge is not treated simply as a commodity to be bought and sold, but as a way to meet the needs of the individuals and communities that create this knowledge in the first place.

Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wurde eine Serie von anwendungsnahen, γ′ gehärteten Co-Basis Schmiedelegierungen entwickelt und harakterisiert. Optimierte Wärmebehandlungen führten für alle Legierungen zur Ausbildung einer γ/γ′-Mikrostruktur, welche bi- oder tridisperse γ′-Teilchenverteilungen aufwies und einen möglichst hohen Härtungsbeitrag lieferte. Durch das Einbringen von orngrenzenpinnenden intermetallischen Phasen konnte die Korngröße auch bei hohen Anwendungstemperaturen stabil gehalten werden. Die Druckfestigkeit der Legierungen lag auf vergleichbarem Niveau wie die von Ni-basierten Schmiedelegierungen. Insbesondere bei Temperaturen über 750 °C sind die Co-Basis Schmiedelegierungen stabiler hinsichtlich ihrer mechanischen Eigenschaften und weisen in Relation höhere Festigkeiten auf. Besonders gute mechanische Stabilität zeigten die untersuchten Legierungen unter Kriechbelastung, wo teilweise um zwei Größenordnungen niedrigere Kriechraten erzielt wurden als für vergleichbare etablierte Ni-Basis Schmiedelegierungen. Untersuchungen der vorliegenden Verformungsmechanismen zeigten, dass in den Co-Basis Schmiedelegierungen Mikroverzwillingung der dominante Verformungsmechanismus ist. Mit Hilfe von hochauflösender Transmissionselektronenmikroskopie konnte nachgewiesen werden, dass das Wachstum der Zwillinge durch das Gleiten von einzelnen Shockley-Partialversetzungen erfolgt, was durch Segregationsprozesse an der Zwillingsgrenze unterstützt wird. Durch eine umfassende Analyse verschiedener mikrostruktureller Parameter wie der Korngröße, der γ′-Teilchengrößenverteilung und des γ′–Volumenanteils und der Gitterfehlpassung sowie der elementaren Zusammensetzung von γ- und γ′-Phasen konnten die Festigkeitsbeiträge in den Legierungen abgeschätzt werden.

Political Science; Ict

Archaeological discoveries in Jerusalem capture worldwide attention in various media outlets. The continuing quest to discover the city’s physical remains is not simply an attempt to define Israel’s past or determine its historical legacy. In the context of the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict, it is also an attempt to legitimate—or undercut—national claims to sovereignty. Bridging the ever-widening gap between popular coverage and specialized literature, Finding Jerusalem provides a comprehensive tour of the politics of archaeology in the city. Through a wide-ranging discussion of the material evidence, Katharina Galor illuminates the complex legal contexts and ethical precepts that underlie archaeological activity and the discourse of “cultural heritage” in Jerusalem. This book addresses the pressing need to disentangle historical documentation from the religious aspirations, social ambitions, and political commitments that shape its interpretation. “A brilliant book on the contested historical roles of archaeology in modern Jerusalem, a city torn by religious, ideological, and political conflicts. This is a must-read for both scholars and laymen interested in the fascinating, tormented history of the Holy City.” -YARON EZRAHI, Professor Emeritus of Political Science, Hebrew University of Jerusalem “In a work made possible by her remarkable ability to move between Israeli and Palestinian perspectives, Galor uncovers the political dimensions of archaeology as practiced in Jerusalem, bringing to bear her expertise as an archaeologist and an intimate knowledge of the city and its history.” -STEVEN WEITZMAN, Abraham M. Ellis Professor of Hebrew and Semitic Languages and Literatures and Ella Darivoff Director of the Katz Center for Advanced Judaic Studies, University of Pennsylvania KATHARINA GALOR teaches Judaic Studies and Urban Studies at Brown University. She is the coauthor of The Archaeology of Jerusalem: From the Origins to the Ottomans.

Das zweibändige Werk gibt erstmals einen umfassenden Überblick über den Satzbau der schweizerdeutschen Dialekte und ergänzt das Standardwerk ""Sprachatlas der deutschen Schweiz"", in dem syntaktische Fragen weitgehend ausgespart blieben. Die vorgestellten Ergebnisse basieren auf einer vom Schweizerischen Nationalfonds geförderten Erhebung mit Fragebögen an 383 Ortspunkten bei durchschnittlich sieben Gewährspersonen in den Jahren 2000-2002. Der Atlas stellt zahlreiche bisher nicht oder kaum beachtete Phänomene in der Syntax der Nominal- und Verbalphrase sowie Satzverbindung detailliert vor und belegt die lange bestrittene Raumgliederung im Bereich der Morphosyntax. Die Ergebnisse werden unter Berücksichtigung der Variation am Ort in 78 thematischen Kommentaren besprochen (Bd. 1) und auf 216 - je nach Kartentyp auch farbigen - Dialektkarten (Bd. 2) präsentiert.

Forschung zur Geschichte der Erwachsenenbildung vermag zur Relativierung, Veränderung, Begründung und Verortung vergangener und gegenwärtiger Praktiken beizutragen. Erwachsenenbildungswissenschaft bringt neue Verständnisse, Gegenstände, Quellen und Forschungsergebnisse ans Licht. Der Band versammelt ausgewählte und begutachtete Tagungsbeiträge der Wissenschaftler*innen, die ihre Arbeiten auf der Jahrestagung 2019 in Halle a. d. Saale präsentiert haben.; Research on the history of adult education can above all contribute to the relativization, change, justification and location of current practice. Especially in the course of pluralization processes in adult education science and practice, understandings, objects, sources and types of results change. The volume brings together selected and peer-reviewed conference contributions from the scientists who presented their work at the annual meeting.

In this book, Noah Horwitz argues that the age of Darwinism is ending. Building on the ontological insights of his first book Reality in the Name of God in order to intervene into the intelligent design versus evolution debate, Horwitz argues in favor of intelligent design by attempting to demonstrate the essentially computational nature of reality. In doing so, Horwitz draws on the work of many of today’s key computational theorists (e.g., Wolfram, Chaitin, Friedkin, Lloyd, Schmidhuber, etc.) and articulates and defends a computational definition of life, and in the process lays out key criticisms of Darwinism. He does so in part by incorporating the insights of the Lamarckian theories of Lynn Margulis and Maximo Sandin. The possible criticisms of a computationalist view from both a developmental perspective (e.g., Lewontin, Jablonka, West-Eberhard, etc.) and chaos theory (e.g., Brian Goodwin) are addressed. In doing so, Horwitz engages critically with the work of intelligent design theorists like William Dembksi. At the same time, he attempts to define the nature of the Speculative Realist turn in contemporary Continental Philosophy and articulates criticisms of leading figures and movements associated with it, such as Object-Oriented Ontology, Quentin Meillassoux, and Ray Brassier. Ultimately, Horwitz attempts to show that rather than heading towards heat death, existence itself will find its own apotheosis at the Omega Point. However, that final glorification is only possible given that all of reality is compressible into the divine name itself.

Second-person storytelling is a continually present and diverse technique in the history of literature that appears only once in the oeuvre of an author. Based on key narratives of the post-war period, Evgenia Iliopoulou approaches the phenomenon in an inductive way, starting out from the essentials of grammar and rhetoric, and aims to improve the general understanding of second-person narrative within literature. In its various forms and typologies, the second person amplifies and expands the limits of representation, thus remaining a narrative enigma: a small narrative gesture – with major narrative impact.

The Origins of Self explores the role that selfhood plays in defining human society, and each human individual in that society. It considers the genetic and cultural origins of self, the role that self plays in socialisation and language, and the types of self we generate in our individual journeys to and through adulthood. Edwardes argues that other awareness is a relatively early evolutionary development, present throughout the primate clade and perhaps beyond, but self-awareness is a product of the sharing of social models, something only humans appear to do. The self of which we are aware is not something innate within us, it is a model of our self produced as a response to the models of us offered to us by other people. Edwardes proposes that human construction of selfhood involves seven different types of self. All but one of them are internally generated models, and the only non-model, the actual self, is completely hidden from conscious awareness. We rely on others to tell us about our self, and even to let us know we are a self.

School is where children and youth spend most of their time, where they learn, socialise and grow. However, multiple pieces of evidences tell us that school is not always a safe ‘place’ for everyone. This book explores the phenomenon of school bullying, focusing in particular on homophobic bullying, and has been developed from the results of regional research conducted in secondary schools in the Region of Umbria and extends to the national and international background, with a reflexive-interpretative approach to the data on the occurrence of the phenomenon, best practices and guidelines. Bullying is an educational problem − of inclusion, equity and safety − that is relevant for every parent, teacher, headmaster and political executive at the systemic level. From this perspective, the book combines empirical research, theoretical reflection and didactic contextualisation, drawing attention to the need for appropriate gender and civil rights education as a prerequisite for preventing and combating bullying and every form of discrimination.

Genetic Narratology is the first full-length volume to merge genetic criticism with narratology, offering an innovative approach to understanding literature. By examining the creative process behind literary works through drafts, manuscripts and revisions, this book reveals how narratives are shaped in real time. Through diverse case studies—from Charlotte Brontë to Stephen King—this collection demonstrates how the material processes of writing influence narrative structure, pacing, and even the ‘untold’. By integrating genetic criticism with narratological methods, contributors explore how stories evolve, providing fresh insights into time, space, character, and suspense. Bridging the gap between the production and reception of texts, this volume makes a compelling case for incorporating genetic methods into broader narratological frameworks, enhancing not only our understanding of the genesis of literary works, ultimately enriching the reading experience, but also our awareness of the ways we narrativise this genesis. The book will be of interest to students and researchers alike, offering a new set of tools for analysing narrative across different versions.
