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.

SVI - Selbstverantwortungs-Inventar: Manual (Manuale zu Testverfahren und Fragebögen)
Par Reinhard Maß. 2025
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.

Zuhause zu zweit: Ko-Konstruktion von Paaren und Dingen
Par Viola Logemann. 2025
In dem vorliegenden Buch wird das Zuhause zu zweit als soziologisches Phänomen untersucht, das sich als Prozess und Produkt der…
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.
Exploring Curriculum Landscapes in Africa: Theoretical Foundations and Practical Realities (Curriculum Studies Worldwide)
Par Oscar Koopman, Karen J. Koopman, Wally Lumadi, Samuel Amponsah. 2025
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.

Par Mohammad Jafferany, Yuliya Ovcharenko, Anna Lyakhovitsky. 2025
This book will be the first title on the subject of Psychotrichology in the medical literature around the world. The subject of…
the psychological influence on hair loss disorders is of major interest to the field, since there is increasing data supporting the notion that emotional states have a very important influence on hair growth as well as on alopecia. The book presents the principles of therapy and features of medical management of psychotrichological patients, which involves interdisciplinary interaction of dermatotrichologists, psychiatrists, psychologists, and general practitioners. Chapters discuss modern views on the psychosocial significance of hair, the effect of stress on the hair follicle, proposes a classification of psychotrichological disorders, and gives a description of clinical and pathogenetic data and differential diagnostic algorithms for conditions related to trichological and psychiatric pictures. Psychotrichology - Psychiatric and Psychosocial Aspects of Hair Diseases is a must-have resource for Dermatology Clinicians, Practitioners, Researchers, and Residents/Fellows who deal with hair. In addition, it will be of interest to mental health practitioners that deal with patients that suffer from the common disorder of hair loss.

cover the definition of hate speech and how its prevalence can be measured on online social media platforms using text and graph-based methods. The book then describes the process of detecting hate speech and presents a comprehensive account of the AI models that are currently being used. Further, the authors discuss the associated challenges that must be overcome while using these models. The book concludes with an overview of the mitigation techniques for hate speech, including blocking or suspension of the accounts (hard technique) and counterspeech (soft technique), and a discussion of the effects of these techniques on social media platforms.
GlobalArctic: The New Dynamics of Arctic Governance (Palgrave Research in Peace Studies)
Par Matthias Finger, Gunnar Rekvig. 2025
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.
Applications of Blockchain Technology in E-Business Value Chains
Par Josepha Witt. 2025
Blockchain Technology (BCT) is explored as a substantial part of the next generation of the Internet affecting business models in…
e-business. This book explores the application of BCT in e-business focusing on the value creation. The research objective is to examine how and why BCT is used in e-business value chains. This objective is reached through a pragmatic multimethod approach combining four studies. Study 1 summarises the state-of-the-art of approaches to assess a BCT fit for a particular scenario and outlines shortcomings resulting from these approaches. Study 2 provides empirical insights into the usage of BCT in four e-business value chains based on the cases Theta (content), OpenBazaar (commerce), Presearch (context), and Crypviser (connection). Study 3 deepens the insights in the e-commerce value chain. By means of a qualitative content analysis of news articles, various BCT application domains for each e-commerce activity are presented. Study 4 narrows the perspective of analysis to e-negotiations, proposes a BC-based negotiation support system and examines its opportunities and challenges. Finally, an integrative discussion of the findings results in two explanations how BCT is applied in e-business.

This book analyzes the transport situation in so-called low-demand areas, i.e., rural areas where traditional public transport is often poor…
and inefficient. Though rural transport has largely been neglected in the literature in favor of more urbanized contexts, it is often the only mobility option for the many citizens who still live in these areas. This book aims to fill the gap in the literature by providing further insights into rural transport research, in particular by presenting a valid solution: Demand Responsive Transport (DRT). This widespread technology allows public transport authorities to make their journeys more efficient by maximizing the load factor of vehicles, while helping citizens meet their mobility needs. The book addresses key research questions concerning the strengths and weaknesses of deploying Demand-Responsive Transport (DRT) in rural areas; mayors&’ perceptions regarding the transport characteristics of their regions; and the evaluation of a DRT pilot project. These aspects are explored through a case study of DRT implementation in two rural areas near the Ligurian cities of Chiavari and Genoa.
Cardiac Amyloidosis
Par Eyal Herzog. 2025
This book reviews the diagnosis and management of cardiac amyloidosis. Systemic amyloidosis is a broad spectrum of diseases that results from…
misfolding of proteins that aggregate into amyloid fibrils. In cardiac amyloidosis, amyloid fibrils accumulate in the interstitial space between cardiac myocytes causing cellular injury and impairing cardiac function. Cardiac Amyloidosis reviews the advances in cardiac imaging, diagnostic strategies and therapies available that have improved the recognition and treatment of cardiac amyloidosis. The contributors to this book have distilled the existing clinical guidelines into a novel and simple pathway to help healthcare providers diagnose and treat patients. Within this book they review each section of this pathway: suspicion, red flags, diagnosis, treatment and follow up. With current data suggesting that cardiac amyloidosis is more common than previously thought, this book is a timely addition to the literature and will be important for all healthcare professionals managing these patients.
