Women in Nineteenth-Century Czech Musical Culture: Apostles of a Brighter Future (Slavonic and East European Music Studies)
by Anja Bunzel Christopher Campo-BowenThis volume focuses on the circumstances of women’s music-making in the vibrant and diverse environment of the Czech lands during the nineteenth century. It sheds light on little-known women musicians, while also considering more well-known works and composers from new woman-centric perspectives. It shows how the unique environment of Habsburg Central Europe, especially Bohemia and Lower Austria, intersects with gender to reveal hitherto unexplored networks that challenge the methodological nationalism of music studies as well as the discipline’s continued emphasis on singular canonical figures. The main areas of enquiry address aspects of performance and identity both within the Czech lands and abroad; women’s impact on social life with a view to different private, semiprivate, and public contexts and networks; and compositional aesthetics in musical works by and about women, analysed through the lens of piano works, song, choir music, and opera, always with the reception of these works in mind.

Molekulare Populationsgenetik: Theoretische Konzepte und empirische Evidenz
by Wolfgang Stephan Anja C. HörgerDas Buch behandelt die genetische Vielfalt von Populationen von Organismen. Es erläutert, wie genetische Vielfalt gemessen wird und wie aus diesen Daten die Mechanismen untersucht werden können, die die Variabilität auf der Genomebene und damit die Mikroevolution einer Population beeinflussen. Ziel dieses Buches ist es, das Wirken der natürlichen Selektion im Genom zu verstehen und vom Einfluss neutraler Evolutionskräfte (wie genetischer Drift, Mutation und Rekombination) unterscheiden zu lernen. Dazu werden die grundlegenden theoretischen Konzepte der Populationsgenetik eingeführt und anhand von zahlreichen Beispielen aus allen Organismengruppen (Menschen, Tieren, Pflanzen und Mikroorganismen) veranschaulicht. Um das Verständnis der theoretischen Ableitungen von Hypothesen und der darauf basierenden Datenanalysen zu überprüfen und weiter zu vertiefen, schließt jedes Kapitel mit Übungsaufgaben und Lösungen ab.

Transatlantic Homeland Security: Protecting Society in the Age of Catastrophic Terrorism
by Anja Dalgaard-Nielsen Daniel HamiltonThis major new study presents both conceptual and practical guidance at a crucial time when intellectual and practical efforts to protect against the new terrorism should move beyond a purely domestic focus. Creating an effective and integrated national homeland security effort is a significant challenge. Europe and the United States have reacted differently to the emergence of mass casualty terrorism, but must work together to cope with the diverse issue areas, sectors, professions, and relevant actors involved in such a broad-based concept. The authors suggest that Europe and the US have a lot to gain by coordinating more closely, and that the exchange of experience is crucial as we attempt to stay ahead of a learning enemy.

Death on the Canal (Lotte Meerman Ser.)
by Anja De JagerWhere do your priorities lie?In her latest case, Dutch detective Lotte Meerman finds herself faced with a moral dilemma - does she investigate the murder of a suspected drug dealer ... or does she stay silent to ensure that another man, responsible for the drug-related deaths of six tourists in Amsterdam, is successfully convicted? Drinking outside a canalside bar on a perfect summer's evening, Lotte is witness to the fatal stabbing of Piotr Mazur, a Polish security guard working in one of the city's department stores. And as Lotte starts to investigate Mazur's death she keeps finding facts that potentially link him to the case of the dead tourists - but soon realises that the head of the team investigating their murders is trying to bury the information just as quickly as she unearths it. Lotte saw the victim in the bar moments before he was killed, and he was with a woman who passed him a photo of a child. She is now convinced that his death wasn't a revenge-killing over drugs after all... but she has to think carefully about what to do for the best, especially as key evidence in Mazur's murder comes from someone she knows she cannot trust.

Transgression and Deviance in the Ancient World
by Lennart Gilhaus Imogen Herrad Michael Meurer Anja DornSocial coexistence is made possible and regulated by norms. Which actions are labeled and sanctioned as transgressions of norms is the result of social negotiation processes. Transgression and norm deviance can both stabilize and undermine the existing norm system. The contributions to this anthology aim to provide some impulses on the relationship between norm and deviance in ancient societies by means of selected case studies from the Greek classical period to the Roman imperial period and to investigate the role of transgressive acts for the dynamics of social systems. In 8 contributions, among others on the cult of Artemis, on the tragedian Agathon, on Cicero, Lucan and Tacitus, the topic is treated in a model-like manner.
Trance Mediums and New Media: Spirit Possession in the Age of Technical Reproduction
by Anja Dreschke Martin ZillingerOngoing debates about the “return of religion” have paid little attention to the orgiastic and enthusiastic qualities of religiosity, despite a significant increase in the use of techniques of trance and possession around the globe. Likewise, research on religion and media has neglected the fact that historically the rise of mediumship and spirit possession was closely linked to the development of new media of communication.This innovative volume brings together a wide range of ethnographic studies on local spiritual and media practices. Recognizing that processes of globalization are shaped by mass mediation, the volume raises questions such as: How are media like photography, cinema, video, the telephone, or television integrated in seances and healing rituals? How do spirit mediums connect with these media? Why are certain technical media shunned in these contexts?

Water as an Inescapable Risk: Current Global Water Availability, Quality And Risks With A Specific Focus On South Africa (Springer Water)
by Anja Du PlessisThe book presents an interdisciplinary systematic evaluation of increasing water stress and scarcity over the globe and specifically South Africa. South Africa is used as the prime example as the country is experiencing similar water challenges in terms of availability and quality as most regions across the globe. Water availability is predominantly used to illustrate water scarcity however, continued degradation of the world’s freshwater resources, by a multitude of natural and anthropogenic factors, have consequently exacerbated water stress and scarcity due to it being of insufficient quality for various uses. The increase of water scarcity through both natural and anthropogenic factors has in turn led to water being viewed as an increasing risk within all spheres. Water as a source of conflict has come to the forefront especially within regions which struggle to meet the increasing demands from different water users and trying to achieve future sustainability of the resource. The increase of water scarcity and stress as well as the continued pressure of population and economic growth has brought various new challenges into play. This book focuses on water as an increasing risk over the globe and specifically South Africa by reviewing both water availability and quality, evaluating water as a global and national risk. The book concludes by focusing on current limitations, necessary strategic actions as well as possible policy-related changes which may be required to adapt to future water challenges and to lessen water as an increasing risk.
Volcanic Debris Avalanches: From Collapse to Hazard (Advances in Volcanology)
by Matteo Roverato Anja Dufresne Jonathan ProcterThis book presents an overview of volcanic debris avalanche deposits, which are produced by partial volcanic edifice collapse, a catastrophic natural phenomenon. It has been 40 years since the volcanic debris avalanche associated with the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens, and our understanding of these events has grown considerably in the interim. Drawing on these advances, the book addresses all aspects of volcanic debris avalanches. Though previously overlooked in field-based geological and volcanological studies, these deposits are now known to be associated with most volcanoes and volcanic areas around the world. The book presents state-of-the-art ideas on the triggering and emplacement mechanisms of these events, supported by field and analogue studies, as well as new simulations tools and models used to determine their physical characteristic and hazards.
Learning Leadership: Führung lebenslang neu lernen
by Anja Ebert-SteinhübelDieses Fachbuch ist ein Plädoyer für ein neues, zeitgemäßes Führungs- und Lernverhalten, mit dem es gelingt, auf Veränderungen der durch Digitalisierung und Globalisierung geprägten Arbeitswelt flexibel zu reagieren. Die Autorin demonstriert, dass Führen und lebenslanges Lernen unlösbar miteinander verbunden sind: Leadership kann und muss gelernt werden und ist Teil eines unternehmensweiten Lernprozesses. Lernen wiederum benötigt Führung, d.h. klare Entscheidungen, inspirierende Ziele und eine überzeugende Kommunikation, sowie die nötigen technischen, strukturellen und kulturellen Voraussetzungen einer auf Wandel ausgerichteten Organisation. Die Autorin eröffnet Führungskräften eine neue Perspektive im Hinblick auf die Handlungsfelder Organisation, Team und (Führungs-)Persönlichkeit und fordert zum Weiterdenken und -lernen auf. Das Buch beinhaltet eine konkrete Agenda des Lernens für unterschiedliche Führungstypen und -situationen und zeigt auf, wie die Verbindung zwischen individuellem, organisationalem und gesellschaftlichem Lernen gelingt.
Bildungs- und Berufsvorstellungen von Bachelorabsolventen und -absolventinnen: Empirische Analysen anhand von Befragungs- und Registerdaten (Lernweltforschung #38)
by Anja Eder Sarah Aldrian Katharina DemanIm Zentrum des Sammelbands steht der Bildungsübergang von Bachelor- in Masterstudien, welcher durch die Studienstrukturreform des europäischen Hochschulraums seit über 20 Jahren besteht. Trotz des Ausmaßes der Umstellung in die dreigliedrige Studienarchitektur wurde dieser Übertrittsphase insbesondere im Hinblick auf die Situation der Hochschulen in Österreich bislang wenig Aufmerksamkeit gewidmet. Um der Komplexität der Entscheidungssituation beim Übertritt vom Bachelor zum Master Rechnung zu tragen, werden verschiedene Gruppen von Akteur*innen, deren institutionelle Einbettung und die gesellschaftlichen Rahmenbedingungen sowie geltende Normen in den Blick genommen. Dazu präsentiert der Band neue Erkenntnisse aus Befragungen mit Studierenden und Studienverantwortlichen an der Universität Graz, mit Fokus auf die Situation in den Geisteswissenschaften, sowie aus der österreichischen Registerdatenforschung. Die Befunde liefern, ergänzend zur Hochschulstatistik, ein tieferes Verständnis der Bildungs- und Berufsvorstellungen und -wege von Bachelorabsolvent*innen. Vor dem Hintergrund teils rückläufiger Studierendenzahlen, dem Wettbewerb um Studierende sowie aktuellen bildungspolitischen Diskussionen füllt der Band ein Forschungsdesiderat und bietet Hochschulverantwortlichen eine empirisch fundierte Grundlage.
Ethnic Stratification and Economic Inequality around the World: The End of Exploitation and Exclusion?
by Max Haller collaboration Anja EderThe modern world is characterised by pervasive economic inequalities. Strong economic growth in some developing countries has contributed to a degree to a reduction in the levels of inequality between nations, yet inequality within nations remains high and in some cases, continues to increase. Ethnic Stratification and Economic Inequality around the World investigates the reasons for these striking differences, exploring the coincidence and interaction between economic stratification and ethnic differentiation. Drawing on extensive international survey and statistical data, the author develops a new theory and concrete hypotheses concerning the conditions which lead toward extreme inequality and those which tend toward greater equality. A systematic examination of the interaction between class structures, social stratification and ethnic differentiation, this book sheds light on the manner in which the resulting social structures produce different levels of economic inequality, offering a fivefold typology of patterns of ethnic stratification, which can be applied to present-day world regions. Drawing on the work of Max Weber to provide a rigorous investigation of inequality around the world, it demonstrates what 'sociology as a science of social reality' can significantly contribute to our understanding of global economic stratification. The book is relevant for a wide social-scientific audience, particularly for sociologists, economists and political scientists working in a comparative perspective.
Forests in International Law
by Anja EikermannThis book investigates the potential need for an international convention on forests and establishes a multifunctional concept of forests as a cornerstone for international forest regulation. Accordingly, it examines a variety of international instruments pertaining directly or indirectly to forests and explores their entangled, fragmented nature. While contending that the lack of consistency in international law impedes the development of a stand-alone international forest convention, at the same time it argues that the lessons learned from fragmentation as well as from the history of forest discourse on the international level open up new options for the regulation of forests in international law, based on (new) concepts of coordination and cooperation.
Welfare to Work in Contemporary European Welfare States: Legal, Sociological and Philosophical Perspectives on Justice and Domination
