What kind of relationship do we have with artificial beings (avatars, puppets, robots, etc.)? What does it mean to mirror ourselves in them, to perform them or to play trial identity games with them? Actor & Avatar addresses these questions from artistic and scholarly angles. Contributions on the making of »technical others« and philosophical reflections on artificial alterity are flanked by neuroscientific studies on different ways of perceiving living persons and artificial counterparts. The contributors have achieved a successful artistic-scientific collaboration with extensive visual material.

Was ist die Relevanz und Funktion des islamischen Überlieferungsgutes für die religiöse Bildung und Lebensgestaltung? Eine plausible und fachwissenschaftlich begründete Theorie des Lehrens und Lernens von Islam und seinen Quellen zu entwickeln, ist derzeit eine grundlegende Aufgabe der islamischen Religionsdidaktik und insbesondere der Koran- und Hadithdidaktik. Für Letztere hat Yaşar Sarıkaya „Zehn Thesen für ein neues Lehren und Lernen mit Hadithen“ ausgearbeitet, die in der deutschsprachigen Fachöffentlichkeit eine rege Debatte angestoßen und zur Veröffentlichung des 2023 erschienenen Sammelbands Hadithdidaktik im Diskurs geführt haben. Mit dem vorliegenden Nachfolgeband in englischer Sprache soll der wissenschaftliche und fachdidaktische Diskurs über Hadithe nun auch international geführt werden, indem Autoren aus unterschiedlichen Ländern zu Wort kommen. Dabei werden neben grundlegenden Impulsen für die Hadithdidaktik auch spezifische didaktische Impulse für Hadithe im Islamischen Religionsunterricht sowie weiterführende Perspektiven der Hadithforschung formuliert.

Dieser Band untersucht die epistemische Funktion des Briefes, d. h. seine Rolle als Medium der Wissensvermittlung, in der Korrespondenz des Publizisten und Diplomaten Karl August Varnhagen von Ense (1785–1858) mit dem Naturforscher und Polyhistor Alexander von Humboldt (1769–1859) sowie dem Schweizer Arzt und Philosophen Ignaz Paul Vital Troxler (1780–1866), am Beispiel des Konzepts der Ganzheit. Joanna Jamrozik orientiert sich dabei an aktuellen Ansätzen der Wissenskommunikationsforschung, die die Rolle dialogischer Formen für die Explikation und Konstitution von Wissen betonen. This volume considers the epistemic function of the letter, i. e. its role as a medium for the transmission of knowledge, in the correspondence of the publicist and diplomat Karl August Varnhagen von Ense (1785–1858) with the naturalist, polyhistor, Alexander von Humboldt (1769–1859) and the Swiss physician and philosopher Ignaz Paul Vital Troxler (1780–1866), using the concept of wholeness as an example. Joanna Jamrozik follows current research on forms of knowledge construction and transmission, which emphasises the role of dialogic forms of communication.

Book, written in Slovene, discusses the legal content and scope of the concept of discriminatory harassment, which is deemed to be an unlawful discrimination under modern EU non-discrimination law, in the context of implementation of provisions of relevant EU directives in legal systems of the United Kingdom and Ireland. the two most important EU non-discrimination directives, adopted under Article 13 of the Treaty Establishing the European Community (now Article 19 of the treaty on the Functioning of the European union) - Racial Equality Directive (Directive 2000/43/EC) and Employment Framework Directive (Directive 2000/78/EC) - explicity mention harassment as prohibited form of discrimination. Legal definitions contained in these two directives define harassment as discriminationdiscrimination itself. Prior to the transposition of the EU non-discrimination directives into their laws, while few member states tackled this issue either within the context of the law on equal treatment (e.g. Denmark, the United Kingdom and Ireland) or outside this context (e.g. France), that is in the framework of criminal, civil, health and safety or employment legislation. As a result of the implementation of relevant provisions of the two main non-discrimination directives (Directives 200/43/EC and 200/78/EC) a definition of harassment has been included in legislations of all EU member states. In most member states such legislative definition is a literal copy of the definition of harrasment that can be found in the Directives 2000/43/EC and 2000/78/EC. The approach to the definition of harassment that appears to be the most "generous" from the perspective of victims of discriminatory harrasment is the one that was taken by British legislator. Such legal position in respect of the prohibition of discrimination has been developed in British case law and is based on the extensive interpretation of non-discrimination laws.

Reconstructed Proto-Slavic represents Slavic linguistic situation about 600 A. D. This form of Slavic language became one of the pillars of the Slavic ethnogenesis, which was also the result of social and political factors, including Byzantine initiative.About earlier ethnogenetic processes we know very little: probably there were no large phenomena of linguistic mixture, rather there were phenomena of linguistic shift to Slavic, in particular of Finnic peoples, with cultural (not linguistic) substratum traces of their past.

Computational homogenization permits to capture the influence of the microstructure on the cyclic mechanical behavior of polycrystalline metals. In this work we investigate methods to compute Laguerre tessellations as computational cells of polycrystalline microstructures, propose a new method to assign crystallographic orientations to the Laguerre cells and use Bayesian optimization to find suitable parameters for the underlying micromechanical model from macroscopic experiments.

Much like the first volume published in 2011, the second volume of this anthology series gathers a selection of analyses which are empirically based on the data of the Swiss panel study TREE (Transitions from Education to Employment). The contributions of this volume carry on the investigation of the critical transitions during youth and young adulthood, drawing on sociological, economic, psychological and pedagogical research questions and thus highlighting the analytic and pluri-disciplinary research potential of the TREE data. One of the topical foci is the longterm influence of social origin on education and labour market pathways, particularly with regard to access to higher education.

In the Chronicle of Thietmar of Merseburg, the experiences and problems of the tenth and early eleventh centuries come together they are taken up by Thietmar and formed into an epoch. This overall interpretation of the chronicle by the Bishop of Merseburg sees historical knowledge as a consistent product of a dynamic process, as an interplay of cultural and cognitive factors in a particular historical situation. On the basis of this dynamic concept of knowledge, it is possible to present a new interpretation of central episodes of Ottonian historiography and at the same time to demonstrate the future potential of images from the past.

Finland was an autonomous Grand Duchy in the Russian Empire during the years 1808–1917. At this time nationalism as well as other ideologies reached Finland from Europe, which strengthened the willingness to change both in society and on a governmental level. The Fennoman movement, which was a movement focusing both on language and on nationalism, became the core of the Finnish self-perception. The goal was to define Finland as a coherent and separate country in relation to its neighbouring countries. Collecting folk poems and learning to know one’s home country became essential. People saw the Kalevala poems as a way to understand and define the Finnish identity and the history of the Finnish people. Especially young people with a background in academia were intrigued by these ideas. University students collected poems all over the Grand Duchy of Finland as well as in the Russian part of Carelia, in Sweden, Norway and in Ingria. Students who collected these folk poems also wrote travelogues about their travels and all this material was handed over to The Finnish Literature Society. These documents are unique and there has not been much research done on them, especially with the focus on how the young academic generation during the age of autonomy defined their home country, their national self-perception, themselves and the commoners living in the rural parts of the country. This book reviews travelogues written by one hundred university students who travelled in the country collecting folk poems during 1836–1917. The book offers insight into how the students described Finland and what it meant to be Finnish. Travelogues can be defined as a sort of hybrid of texts. They consist of a mixture of letters, journals, biographical texts and travel books. Consequently, the image that the students depict of Finland is in this study based upon research perspectives and methods used in textual research, oral history and travel literature. The travelogues written by students previously evoked the interest of researchers who mainly studied certain traits of poem collectors, tradition bearers or poems. However, the travelogues contain plenty of information about the lives of the people who lived in the areas where the poems were collected. The descriptions of Finland in the travelogues do not represent the “real” 19th century Finland, but instead it is a story written and created by university students. The characteristics that are presented in The Land of Hope are based on how the intelligentsia perceived “real” Finnishness as opposed to the uneducated commoners living in the rural parts of the country. The most notable themes in the travelogues are the state and the future of the society and of being Finnish. Another theme is the otherization of those who were uneducated commoners. These themes describe the fears and hopes that university students had about Finland. They also show us that the travelogues were ideological texts about Finland and Finnishness that united the collectors of folk poetry. This book studies the collection of folk poetry in the context of the ideologies during the age of autonomy and it explains what the collection of poems meant and who were involved in it. Furthermore, the book gives an insight into the possibilities to pursue academic studies and it also presents the most essential sources of students’ knowledge about Finland at that point of time.

Die staatlichen Aktivitäten haben vielfältige Konsequenzen auf die privaten Haushalte. Häufig bleiben die finanziellen Effekte staatlichen Handelns jedoch im Dunkeln. Für den Gebietsstand der Bundesrepublik Deutschland nach 1990 existiert kein empirisches Mikrosimulationsmodell, das die finanziellen Beziehungen zwischen Staat und privaten Haushalten mit einem hohen Detaillierungsgrad berücksichtigt. Die Arbeit konzentriert sich auf die Entwicklung eines Modells, das das gesamte Steuer- und Transfersystem im Hinblick auf seine Aufkommens- und Verteilungswirkungen erfassen kann. Es werden alle direkten und indirekten Steuern und Transfers so exakt und detailliert wie möglich abgebildet. Den Schwerpunkt der Arbeit bildet dabei die empirische Betrachtungsweise.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is one of the most significant global environmental assessment bodies ever established, providing the most authoritative and influential reports on climate change knowledge. This book examines the history and politics of the organisation and how this shapes its assessment practice and the climate knowledge it produces. Developing a new methodology, this book focuses on the actors, activities and forms of authority shaping the IPCC’s constructions of climate change. It describes how social, economic and political dynamics influence all aspects of the organisation and its work. This book contributes to understanding the place of science in politics and politics in science and also offers important insights for designing new knowledge bodies for global environmental agreement-making. It is indispensable for students and researchers in environmental studies, international relations and political science, and science and technology studies. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

The aim of the present dissertation is to determine the status of nominal adverbials within the grammar of Russian, with a primary focus on syntactic analysis of the adverbials mentioned. It stands both their 'external' structure - i. the embedding position of the adverbials in the sentence structure - as well as the 'internal' structure - i. the category status of nominal adverbials - in the center of the investigation. The analysis of the configurational-syntactic status serves as a starting point to explain the case-relations of 'naked' accusative and instrumental adverbials. However, it is assumed that an explanatory as well as descriptively adequate syntactic analysis is meaningful only if the semantic component of the grammar is taken into account.
