- Abstract
Es kennzeichnet gegenwärtige Wahrnehmungen, dass sich die verschiedenen krisenhaften Entwicklungen, seien sie im Ursprung biologischer (Corona), technischer (Klima), kultureller (Identität) oder grundlegend politischer (Macht und Legitimität) Natur, in unklarer Weise aufeinander beziehen und zu vermischen scheinen. Und je stärker die eigentlichen Merkmale einer Krise – die fundamentale Unsicherheit und die Überforderung etablierter Managementstrategien – eine Situation dominieren, desto krasser können Glaubenssätze und Narrative auseinanderdriften und desto unvereinbarer werden die Rezepte für das jeweils geeignete Krisenmanagement. Die Unkenntnis über das Coronavirus rechtfertigte im Grunde jegliche Strategie der Krisenbewältigung, vom Laissez-faire bis zur absoluten Kontrolle, alles dazwischen oder auch fortwährende Richtungsanpassungen („Auf Sicht fahren“). Gleichzeitig bot sie die Voraussetzungen für eine tiefgreifende Politisierung des politisch-administrativen Krisenmanagements. Die Beiträge dieses Bandes diskutieren Probleme von Regierung, Verwaltung und Kritischen Infrastrukturen in der Corona-Pandemie.

- Abstract
This book explores anthropological and global art collections as a catalyst, a medium, and an expression of relations. Relations—between and among objects and media, people, and material and immaterial contexts—define, configure, and potentially transform collection-related social and professional networks, discourses and practices, and increasingly museums and other collecting institutions themselves. The contributors argue that a focus on the—often contested—making and remaking of relations provides a unique conceptual entrypoint for understanding collections'—and ‘their'objects'and media's—complex histories, contemporary webs of interactions, and potential futures. The chapters examine the local, translocal, and transregional relations of collections with regard to their affective, aesthetic, performative, and socio-moral qualities and situate them in the larger geopolitical constellations of precolonial, colonial, and postcolonial settings. Together they investigate ongoing shifts in the relations of collections and collecting institutions by identifying alternative approaches to conceive of, and deal with, anthropological and global art collections, objects, and media in the future. The book is of interest to scholars from anthropology, global art history, museum studies, and heritage studies.

- Abstract
This edited book set in the context of North East India explores issues concerning symbols, meanings, representations, and social implications of materiality and visuality, as well as the dynamics of power, social reproduction, ideological dominance and knowledge production, from an interdisciplinary perspective. It seeks to answer the question of why some things matter more than others or what happens when certain things are made more visible than others. The book provides valuable insights into the process of identity construction through the use of cultural sources, both material and visual. Following on the debates/discussions on material and visual culture in the 1970s and 1980s, the book argues that instead of viewing objects as mere representation(s), one should see them as active agents in creating perceptions, bodily practices, discourses and perceptions of our social world. Each chapter in the book unravels and engages with these pertinent issues in order to arrive at amore comprehensive understanding of the status quo. The book is of interest to scholars of ethnicity, identity construction, politics and state, cultural studies, media studies, visual, social and cultural anthropology and sociology, as well as lay readers who want to learn more about the region.

- Abstract
This open access book reports on innovative methods, technologies and strategies for mastering uncertainty in technical systems. Despite the fact that current research on uncertainty is mainly focusing on uncertainty quantification and analysis, this book gives emphasis to innovative ways to master uncertainty in engineering design, production and product usage alike. It gathers authoritative contributions by more than 30 scientists reporting on years of research in the areas of engineering, applied mathematics and law, thus offering a timely, comprehensive and multidisciplinary account of theories and methods for quantifying data, model and structural uncertainty, and of fundamental strategies for mastering uncertainty. It covers key concepts such as robustness, flexibility and resilience in detail. All the described methods, technologies and strategies have been validated with the help of three technical systems, i.e. the Modular Active Spring-Damper System, the Active Air Spring andthe 3D Servo Press, which have been in turn developed and tested during more than ten years of cooperative research. Overall, this book offers a timely, practice-oriented reference guide to graduate students, researchers and professionals dealing with uncertainty in the broad field of mechanical engineering.

- Abstract
Liebes-Chaos in Cornwall: ein humorvoller Roman über ein idyllisches Dorf an der wildromantischen Küste und die Liebe ab 50 von der Stuttgarter Bestseller-Autorin Elisabeth Kabatek Idyllische kleine Dörfer, in denen die Zeit stehen geblieben zu sein scheint, und atemberaubende Steilküsten mit Blick aufs unendliche Meer: Cornwall begeistert die 50-jährige Schwäbin Margarete mit jedem Tag mehr - im Gegensatz zu ihrem Reisegefährten Roland, der ihr schon nach drei Tagen den letzten Nerv raubt! Kurz entschlossen klaut sie sein Auto, um den gemeinsamen Cornwall-Trip ohne Rolands Schnarchen fortzusetzen. Im atemberaubend gelegenen Dörfchen Port Piran muss sich Margarete plötzlich um das B&B »Honeysuckle Cottage« und exzentrische englische Feriengäste kümmern. Dabei findet sie nicht nur eine Freundin mit wilder Punker-Vergangenheit und einen Haufen schräger Typen, sondern verknallt sich auch in einen Mann, der den Standpunkt vertritt, dass Frauen wie gute Weine sind: je älter, desto besser. Doch dann steht plötzlich Roland auf der Matte und will nicht nur sein Auto zurück... Spritzige Romane mit einem Schuss Romantik sind die Spezialität von Bestseller-Autorin Elisabeth Kabatek, deren liebenswert-tollpatschige Heldin Pipeline Praetorius längst Kult-Status genießt. Mit der 50-jährigen Schwäbin Margarete kehrt Elisabeth Kabatek jetzt zurück nach Cornwall, wo man einfach die schönsten (Liebes-)Abenteuer erleben kann. Mehr Cornwall-Flair mit viel Humor gibt es in »Ein Häusle in Cornwall«Elisabeth Kabatek lebt als Autorin, Kolumnistin und Bloggerin in Stuttgart. Ihre Romane Laugenweckle zum Frühstück, Brezeltango, Spätzleblues, Zur Sache, Schätzle!, Schätzle allein zu Haus, Kleine Verbrechen erhalten die Freundschaft und Ein Häusle in Cornwall wurden alle zu Bestsellern. Chaos in Cornwall und die Fortsetzung Ein Cottage in Cornwall sind ihre jüngsten Romane. Mehr unter: www.e-kabatek.de https://ekabatek.wordpress.com

- Abstract
The Nagas of Northeast India give great importance to dreams as sources of divine knowledge, especially knowledge about the future. Although British colonialism, Christian missions, and political conflict have resulted in sweeping cultural and political transformations in the Indo-Myanmar borderlands, dream sharing and interpretation remain important avenues for negotiating everyday uncertainty and unpredictability.This book explores the relationship between dreams and agency through ethnographic fieldwork among the Angami Nagas. It tackles questions such as: What is dreaming? What does it mean to say ‘I had a dream'? And how do night-time dreams relate to political and social actions in waking moments? Michael Heneise shows how the Angami glean knowledge from signs, gain insight from ancestors, and potentially obtain divine blessing. Advancing the notion that dreams and dreaming can be studied as indices of relational, devotional, and political subjectivities, the author demonstrates that their examination can illuminate the ways in which, as forms of authoritative knowledge, they influence daily life, and also how they figure in the negotiation of day-to-day domestic and public interactions. Moreover, dream narration itself can involve techniques of ‘interference'in which the dreamer seeks to limit or encourage the powerful influence of social ‘others'encountered in dreams, such as ancestors, spirits, or the divine. Based on extensive ethnographic research, this book advances research on dreams by conceptualising how the ‘social'encompasses the broader, co-extensive set of relations and experiences - especially with spirit entities - reflected in the ethnography of dreams. It will be of interest to those studying Northeast India, indigenous religion and culture, indigenous cosmopolitics in tribal India more generally, and the anthropology of dreams and dreaming.

- Abstract
Dieses Buch vermittelt als erste politikwissenschaftliche Publikation in deutscher Sprache ein umfassendes und differenziertes Bild des politischen Systems der Philippinen. Wie kann eine junge Demokratie in einem Land bestehen, das von sozialer Ungleichheit sowie der politischen und ökonomischen Dominanz einer kleinen Elite geprägt ist? Welche Konsequenzen haben Patronage und Klientelismus für die demokratische Entwicklung der Philippinen? Diesen und weiteren Fragen wird aus der Perspektive der vergleichenden Politikwissenschaft nachgegangen. Im Kontext historischer, wirtschaftlicher und gesellschaftlicher Bezüge werden politische Strukturen, Prozesse, Akteure und Politikfelder untersucht.

- Author

Katharina Voss and Katharina Voss
- Abstract
Ein Buch über die Myalgische Enzephalomyelitis, die auch unzutreffend als Chronic Fatigue Syndrom oder als ME/CFS und neuerdings auch als Systemic exertion intolerance disease oder kurz SEID bezeichnet wird. Ein Buch über eine Krankheit, die es nach Meinung eines Großteils der Ärzteschaft gar nicht gibt und die nach Auffassung vieler Ärzte, Psychiater und Psychosomatiker nur in den Köpfen der Patienten existiert – obwohl sie bereits vor über 40 Jahren von der WHO als neurologische Krankheit klassifiziert wurde. Ein Buch über eine unsichtbare Pandemie und die Hintergründe eines weitgehend unbekannten medizinischen Skandals. Die Myalgische Enzephalomyelitis ist eine der unbekanntesten, aber dennoch häufigsten chronischen Krankheiten junger und mittelalter Erwachsener westlicher Industrienationen. Seit Jahrzehnten werden die Erkrankten von der medizinischen Profession missachtet und vernachlässigt. Ebenso lange haben die politisch Verantwortlichen die biomedizinische Erforschung dieser Krankheit abgewürgt. Dabei richten schwere körperliche und geistige Einschränkungen grausames Leid bei den Betroffenen an. Viele von ihnen müssen Jahre oder Jahrzehnte eine Lebensqualität erdulden, die der von AIDS- und Krebspatienten im Endstadium vergleichbar ist – ohne dass sie medizinisch adäquat versorgt werden. Höchste Zeit für einen Paradigmenwechsel! Im ersten Teil des Buchs wird umfassend über die historischen und medizinischen Fakten zur Myalgischen Enzephalomyelitis und die teils gravierenden Missstände im Umgang mit den Kranken und in der Behandlung informiert. Im zweiten Teil werden anhand gut belegter Tatsachen die Hintergründe erläutert, die dazu geführt haben, dass diese Krankheit zum Stiefkind unseres Gesundheitssystems wurde und heute bagatellisiert, psychopathologisiert oder sogar auch verleugnet wird. Im dritten Teil wird eine Auswahl aufsehenerregender Ergebnisse der neueren biomedizinischen ME/'CFS'-Forschung vorgestellt.

- Abstract
This book introduces readers to a powerful method for cross-cultural due diligence in mergers and organizational collaborations. It employs the context of joint ventures between local communities and companies in the domain of hospitality in emerging tourism destinations. The book first analyzes the impact of cultural diversity in mergers between local communities and the private sector, revealing the characteristics and functions of culture and paying specific attention to the roles of organizational and community cultures in hospitality. In two subsequent methodological chapters the book presents a theoretical framework for cultural due diligence and identifies the principal actors, technical aspects and core principles. On the basis of a separate case study from northern Thailand, the book provides an example of cultural context analysis and presents the findings and results. In a concluding chapter the book presents an outlook on further research and development in this field.

- Abstract
By September 1944, the Allied advance across France and Belgium had turned into attrition along the German frontier. Standing between the Allies and the Third Reich's industrial heartland was the city of Aachen, once the ancient seat of Charlemagne's empire and now firmly entrenched within Germany's Siegfried Line fortifications. The city was on the verge of capitulating until Hitler forbade surrender.

Hans-Joachim Haake and Hans-Joachim Haake
- Abstract
Es mag zutreffen, dass es der Privatermittler Tobias Blank mit den Gesetzen nicht so genau nimmt. Aber ein Mörder ist er nicht. Um seine Unschuld zu beweisen, ist der Einzelgänger aber auch Verbündete angewiesen. Die findet er nicht nur bei den Kollegen des Detektivbüros, sondern auch bei den Ermittlungsbehörden in Gestalt des Kripobeamten Lammert und der Zollinspektorin Jacobsen. Gemeinsam kann das ungleiche Trio einer Betrügerbande, die mit gefälschten Autoersatzteilen handeln das Handwerk legen und ein von langer Hand geplantes Waffengeschäft wird vereitelt. Der Mann im Hintergrund, der den ersten Mord verübt hat und dieses Verbrechen Tobias Blank in die Schuhe schieben wollte, ist auch für den Tod eines Komplizen verantwortlich. Er kann zunächst fliehen, wird aber nach einer Verfolgungsjagd gestellt und frei nach dem Motto: wer andern eine Grube gräbt... In diesem Fall ist es die Elbe, in deren Fluten der Verbrecher sein Ende findet.
