Arbeitsbedingungen und Arbeitsbelastungen in der Pflege: Eine empirische Untersuchung in Rheinland-Pfalz
by Mareike BreinbauerZiel dieser Studie ist es, die Situation der beruflichen Pflege aus Sicht der Pflegekräfte in Rheinland-Pfalz nachzuzeichnen. Es soll die zentrale Frage beantwortet werden, wie die Pflegekräfte ihren Berufsalltag und die Arbeitsbedingungen in der Pflege wahrnehmen. Der Schwerpunkt liegt auf der Untersuchung der wahrgenommenen Arbeitsbelastungen, dem selbsteingeschätzten Burnout-Risiko, den eingesetzten Bewältigungsstrategien sowie der Arbeitszufriedenheit. Als Datenbasis dient eine Online-Erhebung unter den Mitgliedern der Landespflegekammer Rheinland-Pfalz (n=830) aus dem Jahr 2017. Insgesamt zeigt sich, dass die Pflegenden der Studie besonderen Belastungen ausgesetzt sind, die sich aus mannigfaltigen Faktoren ergeben. Beispielsweise aus einer zu geringen Personalausstattung und damit einhergehender Arbeitsverdichtung und zunehmendem Arbeiten unter ständigem Zeitdruck. Neben den Problemen und Risiken bietet die Arbeit in der Pflege aber auch Chancen, welche die hohen Risiken kompensieren und sich gesundheitsförderlich auswirken können. Hierzu zählen individuelle Ressourcen und ein gutes Bewältigungsmanagement. Die Studie liefert einerseits neue Erkenntnisse zur Situation der beruflich Pflegenden in Rheinland-Pfalz und stützt anderseits bereits bestehende Befunde zu den Arbeitsbedingungen und Arbeitsbelastungen in der Pflege allgemein.

Arbeitsgesundheit und Beziehungsqualität durch Mediation: Leitfaden zu Mediation als Soziale Heilkunde für Organisationen mit Praxisanleitung (essentials)
by Thomas SteinManchmal verstehen wir am Arbeitsplatz die Welt nicht mehr. Je besser wir es meinen, desto schwieriger scheint sich oft paradoxerweise das menschliche Miteinander zu entwickeln: Stress und lähmende Blockaden (Konflikte) im Miteinander saugen Energie, die dringend anderweitig gebraucht wird. Dem wirkt Mediation als professionell bewährtes und kulturübergreifend praktiziertes Konfliktlösungsverfahren gezielt entgegen. Denn: Mediation ist zukunftsgerichtet und kann kreative Lösungsansätze zeigen, die bislang kaum vorstellbar waren. Was das mit Arbeitsgesundheit und Beziehungsqualität zu tun hat, lernen Sie in diesem essential.

The Arc of War: Origins, Escalation, and Transformation
by Jack S. Levy William R. ThompsonIn this far-reaching exploration of the evolution of warfare in human history, Jack S. Levy and William R. Thompson provide insight into the perennial questions of why and how humans fight. Beginning with the origins of warfare among foraging groups, The Arc of War draws on a wealth of empirical data to enhance our understanding of how war began and how it has changed over time. The authors point to the complex interaction of political economy, political and military organization, military technology, and the threat environment--all of which create changing incentives for states and other actors. They conclude that those actors that adapt survive, and those that do not are eliminated. In modern times, warfare between major powers has become exceedingly costly and therefore quite rare, while lesser powers are too weak to fight sustained and decisive wars or to prevent internal rebellions. Conceptually innovative and historically sweeping, The Arc of War represents a significant contribution to the existing literature on warfare.
Archaeologists As Activists: Can Archaeologists Change The World?
by M. Stottman Stephen McBride Carol McDavid Sarah Miller Matthew Prybylski Lois Stahlgren Jodi Barnes Robert Chidester Kim Christensen David Gadsby A. Henderson Patrice Jeppson Barbara Little Kim McBrideCould archaeologists benefit contemporary cultures and be a factor in solving world problems? Can archaeologists help individuals? Can archaeologists change the world? These questions form the root of “archaeology activism” or “activist archaeology”: using archaeology to advocate for and affect change in contemporary communities. <p><p> Archaeologists currently change the world through the products of their archaeological research that contribute to our collective historical and cultural knowledge. Their work helps to shape and reshape our perceptions of the past and our understanding of written history. Archaeologists affect contemporary communities through the consequences of their work as they become embroiled in controversies over negotiating the past and the present with native peoples. Beyond the obvious economic contributions to local communities caused by heritage tourism established on the research of archaeologists at cultural sites, archaeologists have begun to use the process of their work as a means to benefit the public and even advocate for communities. <p> In this volume, Stottman and his colleagues examine the various ways in which archaeologists can and do use their research to forge a partnership with the past and guide the ongoing dialogue between the archaeological record and the various contemporary stakeholders. They draw inspiration and guidance from applied anthropology, social history, public history, heritage studies, museum studies, historic preservation, philosophy, and education to develop an activist approach to archaeology—theoretically, methodologically, and ethically.
'Archaeologizing' Heritage?: Transcultural Entanglements between Local Social Practices and Global Virtual Realities (Transcultural Research – Heidelberg Studies on Asia and Europe in a Global Context)
by Michael Falser Monica JunejaThis book investigates what has constituted notions of "archaeological heritage" from colonial times to the present. It includes case studies of sites in South and Southeast Asia with a special focus on Angkor, Cambodia. The contributions, the subjects of which range from architectural and intellectual history to historic preservation and restoration, evaluate historical processes spanning two centuries which saw the imagination and production of "dead archaeological ruins" by often overlooking living local, social, and ritual forms of usage on site. Case studies from computational modelling in archaeology discuss a comparable paradigmatic change from a mere simulation of supposedly dead archaeological building material to an increasing appreciation and scientific incorporation of the knowledge of local stakeholders. This book seeks to bring these different approaches from the humanities and engineering sciences into a trans-disciplinary discussion.
The Archaeology and Ethnohistory of Araucanian Resilience
by Jacob J. SauerThis volume examines the processes and patterns of Araucanian cultural development and resistance to foreign influences and control through the combined study of historical and ethnographic records complemented by archaeological investigation in south-central Chile. This examination is done through the lens of Resilience Theory, which has the potential to offer an interpretive framework for analyzing Araucanian culture through time and space. Resilience Theory describes "the capacity of a system to absorb disturbances and reorganize while undergoing change so as to still retain the same function. " The Araucanians incorporated certain Spanish material culture into their own, rejected others, and strategically restructured aspects of their political, economic, social, and ideological institutions in order to remain independent for over 350 years.
The Archaeology of Gender in Historic America (American Experience in Archaeological Perspective)
by Deborah L. RotmanPatriarchy, colonialism, and the capitalist mode of production have shaped gender through time and across many different cultures. In historic America, gendered social relations were created, codified, and reproduced through the objects used in cultural rituals, the spatial organization of houses, the construction of village landscapes, and the institutions of society, in addition to other social, ideological, economic, and political forces. From domestic spaces to the public realm, Deborah Rotman contextualizes gender and the associated social relationships from the colonial period through the twentieth century. By exploring how individuals and families negotiated and mediated these relationships, she sheds light on how prescriptive gender categories affected those expected to follow them and examines how diverse groups responded to popular gender ideologies. Additionally, she reveals the ways gender and society influence each other, exposing how American normative notions of masculinity and femininity intersect with class, ethnicity, race, sexuality, and identity. Albeit, Rotman contends, they do not intersect in mutually supportive ways, ultimately giving rise to transformative social changes.
An Archaeology of Improvement in Rural Massachusetts: Landscapes of Profit and Betterment at the Dawn of the 19th century (Contributions To Global Historical Archaeology)
by Quentin LewisThis book probes the materiality of Improvement in early 19th century rural Massachusetts. Improvement was a metaphor for human intervention in the dramatic changes taking place to the English speaking world in the 18th and 19th centuries as part of a transition to industrial capitalism. The meaning of Improvement vacillated between ideas of economic profit and human betterment, but in practice, Improvement relied on a broad assemblage of material things and spaces for coherence and enaction. Utilizing archaeological data from the home of a wealthy farmer in rural Western Massachusetts, as well as an analysis of early Republican agricultural publications, this book shows how Improvement's twin meanings of profit and betterment unfolded unevenly across early 19th century New England. The Improvement movement in Massachusetts emerged at a time of great social instability, and served to ameliorate growing tensions between urban and rural socioeconomic life through a rationalization of space. Alongside this rationalization, Improvement also served to reshape rural landscapes in keeping with the social and economic processes of a modernizing global capitalism. But the contradictions inherent in such processes spurred and buttressed wealth inequality, ecological distress, and social dislocation.
Archaeology of Knowledge (Routledge Classics)
by Michel FoucaultIn France, a country that awards its intellectuals the status other countries give their rock stars, Michel Foucault was part of a glittering generation of thinkers, one which also included Sartre, de Beauvoir and Deleuze. One of the great intellectual heroes of the twentieth century, Foucault was a man whose passion and reason were at the service of nearly every progressive cause of his time. From law and order, to mental health, to power and knowledge, he spearheaded public awareness of the dynamics that hold us all in thrall to a few powerful ideologies and interests. Arguably his finest work, Archaeology of Knowledge is a challenging but fantastically rewarding introduction to his ideas.

The Archaeology of Urbanism in Ancient Egypt
by Nadine MoellerIn this book, Nadine Moeller challenges prevailing views on Egypt's non-urban past and argues for Egypt as an early urban society. She traces the emergence of urban features during the Predynastic Period up to the disintegration of the powerful Middle Kingdom state (ca. 3500-1650 BC). This book offers a synthesis of the archaeological data that sheds light on the different facets of urbanism in ancient Egypt. Drawing on evidence from recent excavations as well as a vast body of archaeological data, this book explores the changing settlement patterns by contrasting periods of strong political control against those of decentralization. It also discusses households and the layout of domestic architecture, which are key elements for understanding how society functioned and evolved over time. Moeller reveals what settlement patterns can tell us about the formation of complex society and the role of the state in urban development in ancient Egypt.
The Archaeology of Utopian and Intentional Communities (American Experience in Archaeological Pe)
by Stacy C. KozakavichReconstructing the past of intentional communities from across the United StatesUtopian and intentional communities have dotted the American landscape since the colonial era, yet only in recent decades have archaeologists begun analyzing the material culture left behind by these groups. This volume includes discussions of the Shakers, the Harmony Society, the Moravians, the Oneida community, Brook Farm, and Mormon towns. Also featured is an expanded case study of California's late nineteenth-century Kaweah Colony, offering a new perspective on approaches to the study of utopian societies.Surveys of settlement patterns, the built environment, and even the smallest artifacts such as tobacco pipes and buttons are used to uncover what daily life was like in these communities. Archaeological evidence reveals how these communities upheld their societal ideals. Shakers, for example, constructed homes with separate living quarters for men and women, reflecting the group's commitment to celibacy. On the other hand, some communities diverged from their principles, as evidenced by the presence of a key and coins found at Kaweah, indicating private property and a cash economy despite claims to communal and egalitarian practices.Stacy Kozakavich argues archaeology has much to offer in the reconstruction and interpretation of community pasts for the public. Material evidence provides information about these communities free from the underlying assumptions, positive or negative, that characterize past interpretations. She urges researchers not to dismiss these communal experiments as quaint failures but to question how the lifestyles of the people in these groups are interpreted for visitors today. She reminds us that there is inspiration to be found in the unique ways these intentional communities pursued radical social goals.
Archaeology, Sexism, and Scandal: The Long-Suppressed Story of One Woman's Discoveries and the Man Who Stole Credit for Them
by Alan KaiserA true story of plagiarism, complicity, and a 1930s excavation that &“has the arresting immediacy of investigative journalism&” (The Journal of Hellenic Studies). The 1931 excavation season at Olynthus, Greece, ushered a sea change in how archaeologists study material culture—and was the nexus of one of the most egregious (and underreported) cases of plagiarism in the history of classical archaeology. In this book, Alan Kaiser draws on the private scrapbook that budding archaeologist Mary Ross Ellingson compiled during that dig, as well as her personal correspondence and materials from major university archives, to paint a fascinating picture of gender, power, and archaeology in the early twentieth century. Using Ellingson&’s photographs and letters as a guide, Kaiser brings alive the excavations led by David Robinson and recounts how the unearthing of private homes—rather than public spaces—emerged as a means to examine the day-to-day of ancient life in Greece. But as Archaeology, Sexism, and Scandal clearly demonstrates, a darker story lurks beneath the smiling faces and humorous tales: one in which Robinson stole Ellingson&’s words and insights for his own, and fellow academics looked the other way—denying her the credit she was due for more than eighty years. &“Kaiser&’s exciting and timely volume should force readers to openly confront gender-related biases in science and academia.&” —Library Journal (starred review) &“Important.&” —Publishers Weekly &“Highly recommended.&” —Choic
Archetypical Roles in Startups: Eight Personality Traits You Need in Your Founding Team (Business Guides on the Go)
by Vanessa Miller Jens U. PätzmannFounding a startup is a challenging endeavor that works best in a well-balanced team. Different thinking styles are needed throughout the founding journey. Archetypes are deeply engrained templates in the collective unconscious and can be used to reveal the hidden aspects of social interactions within teams. This book employs an archetypical personality test to uncover the eight most significant team roles needed in a startup: the leader, the mentor, the artist, the friend, the hero, the femme fatale, the rebel and the manager. The artist, for example, always finds unconventional solutions, the femme fatale attracts support for the idea, and the hero is undaunted in the face of setbacks. Archetypical roles can manifest in individuals or at the group level, and they can and should change throughout the journey. With the included personality test, this book offers entrepreneurs, investors and mentors alike a tool to improve the interpersonal processes in startup teams.
The Archipelago: Italy Since 1945
by John FootIn The Archipelago, acclaimed historian John Foot chronicles Italy's tumultuous history from the post-war period to the present.

architect, verb.: The New Language of Building
by Reinier de GraafThe Hidden Rules of Architecture: how to build world-class, award winning, creative, innovative, sustainable, liveable and beautiful spaces that foster a sense of place and well beingLeading architect Reinier de Graaf De Graaf punctures the myths behind the debates on what contemporary architecture is, with wit and devastating honesty. Architecture, it seems, has become too important to leave to architects. No longer does it suffice to judge a building solely by its appearance, it must be measured, and certified. When architects talk about &“Excellence,&” &“Sustainability,&” &“Well-being,&” &“Liveability,&” &“Placemaking,&” &“Creativity,&” &“Beauty&” and &“Innovation&” what do they actually mean? In architect, verb. De Graff dryly skewers the doublespeak and hot air of an industry in search of an identity in the 21st century. Who determines how to measure a &“green building&”? Why is Vancouver more &“liveable&” than Vienna? How do developers get away with advertising their buildings as promoting &“well-being&”? Why did Silicon Valley become so obsessed with devising &“creative&” spaces or developing code that replaces architects? How much revenue can be attributed to the design of public space? Who gets to decide what these measurements should be, and what do they actually mean? And what does it mean for the future of our homes, cities, planet? He also includes a biting, satirical dictionary of &“profspeak&”: the corporate language of consultants, developers and planners from &“Active listening&” to &“Zoom Readiness.&”
Architects: Portraits of a Practice (Expertise: Cultures and Technologies of Knowledge)
by Thomas YarrowWhat is creativity? What is the relationship between work life and personal life? How is it possible to live truthfully in a world of contradiction and compromise? These deep and deeply personal questions spring to the fore in Thomas Yarrow's vivid exploration of the life of architects. Yarrow takes us inside the world of architects, showing us the anxiety, exhilaration, hope, idealism, friendship, conflict, and the personal commitments that feed these acts of creativity. Architects rethinks "creativity," demonstrating how it happens in everyday practice. It highlights how the pursuit of good architecture, relates to the pursuit of a good life in intimate and individually specific ways. And it reveals the surprising and routine social negotiations through which designs and buildings are actually made.
