From famed zoologist Anthony Sinclair, an account of his decades-long quest to understand one of Earth's most spectacular ecosystemsWith its…

rich biodiversity, astounding wildlife, and breathtaking animal migrations, Serengeti is like no other ecosystem on the planet. A Place like No Other is Anthony Sinclair's firsthand account of how he and other scientists discovered the biological principles that regulate life in Serengeti and how they rule all of the natural world.When Sinclair first began studying this spectacular ecosystem in 1965, a host of questions confronted him. What environmental features make its annual migration possible? What determines the size of animal populations and the stunning diversity of species? What factors enable Serengeti to endure over time? In the five decades that followed, Sinclair and others sought answers. What they learned is that seven principles of regulation govern all natural processes in the Serengeti ecosystem. Sinclair shows how these principles can help us to understand and overcome the challenges facing Serengeti today, and how they can be used to repair damaged habitats throughout the world.Blending vivid storytelling with invaluable scientific insights from Sinclair's pioneering fieldwork in Africa, A Place like No Other reveals how Serengeti holds timely lessons for the restoration and conservation of our vital ecosystems.

This book offers a spatial insights on the social mediasphere in the context of digital shutdowns and reflects the dimensions…

of political economy and of social media in general. Internet shutdowns have been found to be more prevalent in developing countries than in developed countries, with India leading in Internet shutdowns in the world. Internet shutdowns have occurred in India for several reasons, mainly to hinder the spreading of information through social media – this is discussed in detail along with political motives behind this and how this can conflict with government policies, such as the flagship program “Digital India” which is ostensibly meant to improve the infrastructure and expansion of digital information throughout the country. This book suggests new dimensions in the digital spatiality. Furthermore, the digital space is defined and discussed, including its role and how this might be reflected in concepts around spatiality and spaces. More concretely, the book considers the following questions: How is social media reflected in spatial sciences? How does the space differ from more tangible spaces, such as the hydrosphere or atmosphere? How do (computer/mobile phone) screens behave as a space/place in the context of behavioural sciences? How is this reflected in what is shaping and reshaping the spatiality of digital gadgets? Do digital gadgets change the socialization process that’s often considered a path towards how we develop in society? How do internet shutdowns affect the political economy and what patterns can be seen in how individuals, companies and the internet industry in particular react to these shutdowns in India?

Frontline, Deskless, BlueCollar-Worker und gewerbliche Arbeitnehmer. Es existieren zahlreiche Begriffe zur Beschreibung der Mitarbeitenden, die ihre Tätigkeit „nicht am Schreibtisch&“,…

sondern „deskless&“ erledigen müssen. Erfahrungsgemäß zählen diese Mitarbeitergruppen jedoch nicht zu denen, die Vorteile aus den derzeit genutzten Formen der Flexibilisierung der Arbeit, wie dem Homeoffice oder der Anywhere-Organisation, ziehen können. Auch die Digitalisierung scheint bei diesen Mitarbeitergruppen bislang nur partiell anzukommen. Im Gegenteil: Oft gelten hier vielerorts recht starre Regelungen, die eine Berücksichtigung der berechtigten Wünsche der Mitarbeiter nach einer Flexibilisierung der Arbeit nicht oder nur in geringem Maße zulassen. Damit vergeben viele Unternehmen nicht nur Möglichkeiten für Produktivitätsgewinne, sondern auch ihre Arbeitgeberattraktivität leidet nachhaltig. Die Diskussion neuer Möglichkeiten zur Überwindung dieser Situation steht im Zentrum dieses Buches.

In der Psychologie werden gern Fragebögen verwendet. Da es vorher keinen Fragebogen zur Erfassung der Selbstverantwortung gab, habe ich selbst…

einen entwickelt, das Selbstverantwortungs-Inventar (SVI).[1] Das SVI besteht aus den drei Unterskalen Fremdbestimmung, Selbstbestimmung sowie Orientierung an den Erwartungen anderer. Fremdbestimmung ist der Eindruck einer Person, dass andere Menschen mehr Einfluss auf ihr eigenes Leben haben als sie selbst (Beispiel: „Andere sind an meinem Unglück schuld“. Selbstbestimmung ist eine unabhängige und selbstbewusste Haltung („Ich bestimme selbst, was ich tue oder lasse“). Orientierung an den Erwartungen anderer ist der Wunsch, die Erwartungen anderer Menschen zu erfüllen, und die Angst, Fehler zu machen oder zurechtgewiesen zu werden („Ich habe oft ein schlechtes Gewissen, wenn ich jemandem eine Bitte abschlage“). Ich habe das SVI bei mehreren wissenschaftlichen Untersuchungen an gesunden Erwachsenen eingesetzt; dabei zeigten sich ziemlich genau die Zusammenhänge, die ich weiter oben beschrieben habe. Je ausgeprägter die Selbstverantwortung – das heißt, je weniger Fremdbestimmung, je mehr Selbstbestimmung und je weniger Orientierung an den Erwartungen anderer –, desto größer die Zufriedenheit in praktisch allen Bereichen des eigenen Lebens (z.B. Ehe bzw. Partnerschaft, eigene Person, Gesundheit, Sexualität). Obwohl es sich hier um Menschen ohne psychische Störungen handelt, wurde auch nach Depressivität und Ängstlichkeit gefragt, mit dem gleichen Ergebnis: Je ausgeprägter die Selbstverantwortung, desto geringer Depressivität und Ängstlichkeit.

Ko-Konstruktion von Paaren und Dingen offenbart. Forschungsgegenstand ist das Zusammenziehen und Zusammenwohnen von Paaren in der ersten gemeinsamen Wohnung, wobei besonders die Materialität der Wohnung sowie der individuellen und gemeinsamen Dinge von Interesse ist. Forschungsleitend waren drei Fragestellungen: Wie wird die Wohnung für das Paar zum Zuhause und was impliziert dieser Begriff? Was bedeutet Wohnen als Paar? Und wie wird die Wohnung als gemeinsamer und individueller Raum verhandelt? Zur Beantwortung dieser Fragen wurden Paarinterviews und Walking Interviews mit zehn Paaren in ihrer Wohnung durchgeführt, bei denen die Paare selbst Fotos erstellten. Das Material wurde mit der dokumentarischen Methode ausgewertet und vier sinngenetische Typen von Ko-Konstruktionen rekonstruiert. Die Typen umspannen Dimensionen der Deutung des Zusammenziehens und Zusammenlebens, der Zeitlichkeit und Prozessualität, des Verhältnisses von Gemeinsamkeit und Individualität sowie die Bedeutungen der "schönen" Dinge. Die Ergebnisse werden paar-, wohn- und wissenssoziologisch sowie methodisch diskutiert und die Relevanz der fortwährenden soziologischen Auseinandersetzung mit dem Forschungsgegenstand verdeutlicht.

This book examines post-colonial curriculum transformation across seven African nations. These are South Africa, Egypt, Cameroon, Nigeria, Zimbabwe, Namibia, and…

Ghana. It investigates whether these educational systems have truly decolonized their curricula or still remain rooted in Western frameworks despite achieving political independence. Through analysis of curriculum policies and teaching practices, the authors explore educational reform dynamics in post-colonial African contexts. The book evaluates how successfully these systems have incorporated indigenous knowledge and local ways of knowing, versus continuing to propagate Western paradigms. The work provides both theoretical and empirical analysis of challenges and opportunities in rebuilding African education systems that reflect local cultural values while addressing modern educational needs.

The third volume in the Global Arctic series examines the transformation of Arctic governance following the 2022 outbreak of war…

in Ukraine. This conflict has disrupted the post-Cold War cooperative circumpolar order, upending decades of multilateral collaborations. The book traces the Arctic's evolution from Cold War great power competition to a focus on human security and cooperation, highlighting the Arctic Council's establishment and the growth of the "Arctic family" with non-Arctic actors. It explores how climate change became a key driver for Arctic (re)engagement, opening new opportunities and challenges. The 2022 invasion of Ukraine has dramatically altered this landscape, ending the post-Cold War era of collaboration and ushering in the post-post-Cold War era, raising critical questions about regional cooperation, climate change mitigation, and global security. This book brings together diverse expert perspectives to analyze the rapidly changing geopolitical dynamics of the Arctic. It explores the tension between collaboration needs and resurgent great power competition, offering valuable insights for policymakers, scholars, and students. As global power dynamics shift and climate change threatens, understanding Arctic governance challenges becomes imperative. This book serves as an essential resource for navigating the complex Arctic political landscape and examining how new divisions are reshaping the region's future.
