Study on The Interface Interaction Between Volatile Organic Pollutants and Soils and Thermal Remediation Evaluation (Springer Theses)
by Yuan LiFrom a microperspective, this book investigates the interface interaction between organic pollutants and soil skeleton, as well as the electrochemical response and the interface mechanical mechanism of contaminated soil in thermal environments. Considering interface behaviors and mechanisms, a one-dimensional soil column and a large-scale three-dimensional laboratory model using steam injection technology were self-developed for the first time to discuss the removal pathways and effectiveness of pollutants under heat-moisture conditions in a simulated in-situ soil stress. In addition, this book also focuses on the mechanical performance and biological resilience of the thermally remediated soil to expand the reuse scenarios of these wastes. This study effectively integrates interdisciplinary knowledge such as soil mechanics, fluid flow in porous medium, and environmental chemistry and innovatively conducts systematic research using theoretical, experimental, and numerical simulation methods to fill the gap in current research on the interaction behaviors, fate mechanisms, remediation pathways, and reuse potential of organic contaminated soils. The methodology established in this book provides a good foundation for the characterization, efficient remediation, and reutilization of organic contaminated soils, filling the gap of a single discipline in solving the issue of contaminated sites and broadening the research perspective and depth for geo-environmental engineering.

The Economics of Ideologies: Belief Systems and Ideologies in Rational Decision-making (Springer Studies in Alternative Economics)
by Thomas Gries Carina Burs Veronika MüllerMany of the major international and intrastate crises and conflicts, but also the threat to democratic principles, are driven by belief systems and ideologies. They fuel political polarization, which is particularly evident in the battleground of social media. Nevertheless, we hardly pay attention to ideologies, their narratives, functions and organizations in economic theory today. Ideologies as &“non-rational beliefs&” seem incompatible with rationality in economic models. Therefore, the book examines the role of ideologies and belief systems in individual decision-making behavior from an economic and rational perspective. Due to the fact that people have incomplete information, belief systems and ideologies fulfill a number of important functions. While ideologies themselves serve psychological needs, they are used as a cognitive framework for rational decision-making once they have been adopted through a Bayesian learning process. They influence decisions in a wide range of areas, from consumption and work to politics. This is where the role of ideological organizations becomes important, because they determine the ideological direction of the narratives and their dissemination. Thus, ideologies give a normative direction, for better or for worse. The &“quality&” of ideological leadership can be evaluated normatively on the basis of principles such as individual sovereignty and human dignity. A democratic discourse requires an information and communication system that enables an evaluation of precisely these ideologies, free from resource and information power.

Bildung und Ausbildung im Diskurs: Perspektiven aus der Sozialen Arbeit
by Tom Schmid Patricia Renner Marina Tomic Hensel Barbara StefanDieses Buch bietet eine Auseinandersetzung mit dem vieldiskutierten Thema "Bildung" und richtet sich dabei insbesondere an Lehrende und Lernende im Studium Sozialer Arbeit an deutschsprachigen (Fach-)Hochschulen. Je nach wissenschaftstheoretischem Hintergrund werden unterschiedliche Deutungen des Begriffs mit verschiedenen Konzepten und Leitideen verknüpft. Im Zentrum steht dabei das Spannungsfeld zwischen „Ausbildung&“ und „Bildung&“, dem Lehrende an Fachhochschulen begegnen: Einerseits die möglichst praxisnahe Vorbereitung auf das Berufsleben und die Vermittlung anwendungsorientierter Kompetenzen, andererseits der Anspruch, kritische Reflexionsfähigkeit über gesellschaftliche Verhältnisse zu fördern. Doch wie lässt sich eine wissenschaftlich fundierte und praxisbezogene Ausbildung mit einem Bildungsanspruch realisieren? Wie kann kritisches Denken gefördert und mit der Praxis verknüpft werden? Dieser Band diskutiert diese und weitere Fragen und zeigt Möglichkeiten auf, wie kritisch-reflexive, anwendungs- und zukunftsbezogene Dimensionen von (Aus-)Bildung in ihrem Verhältnis zueinander verhandelt und gemeinsam gedacht werden können.
Histone and Non-Histone Reversible Acetylation in Development, Aging and Disease (Results and Problems in Cell Differentiation #75)
by Marta Halasa Anna WawruszakThis volume explores various aspects of reversible acetylation of histone and non-histone proteins, focusing on their roles in development, ageing and disease progression.

Optimizing Treatment Engagement Processes in CBT for Anxiety and Related Disorders (CBT: Science Into Practice)
by Elizabeth M. GoetterThis book focuses on how to effectively support treatment engagement for patients with anxiety and related disorders. The text begins from the premise that individuals already face numerous logistical, environmental, and systemic barriers to evidence-based psychotherapy. Furthermore, among anxious populations, the very symptoms that require treatment—namely, avoidance and fear-based cognitions--can deter treatment seeking. Thus, it is critical to understand how best to support treatment engagement once access barriers are overcome. Summarizing the state of the research and integrating practical application, this volume lays out the ways to maximize patient engagement and optimize treatment outcomes in cognitive behavioral treatments for the range of anxiety and related disorders. The reader will gain: · Theoretical understanding of the treatment engagement process · Knowledge about common barriers to treatment engagement across anxiety, obsessive-compulsive, and posttraumatic stress disorder · Clinical strategies and practical guidance for optimizing treatment engagement
Audiovisuelle Diversität in Kinder- und Jugendmedien: Die Darstellung von Cartoon-Held:innen in der Animationsserie „She-Ra and the Princesses of Power“ (Medienbildung und Gesellschaft #54)
by Denis SasseAnimationsfilme und -serien bringen als audiovisuelle Erzähltexte eine kulturelle sowie gesellschaftliche Signifikanz mit sich - insbesondere im Hinblick auf die intendierte Zielgruppe von Kindern und Jugendlichen. Durch sie werden fiktionale Möglichkeitsräume präsentiert, in denen auf narrativer Ebene, durch Figurendarstellungen und symbolisches Material verschiedene Aspekte zur Selbstkonstitution, Selbstaktualisierung und Selbsterweiterung vermittelt werden. Dieses Buch untersucht aus medienpädagogischer Perspektive die Gestaltung audiovisueller Möglichkeitsräume und legt den Fokus auf die Animationsserie „She-Ra and the Princesses of Power&“, die zwischen 2018 und 2020 auf Netflix veröffentlicht worden ist. Es wird aufgezeigt, wie sich die Serie von der Reproduktion tradierter Zuschreibungen distanziert und anstelle einschränkender Rollen(vor)bildern vielfältige Identitätsentwürfe präsentiert: unterschiedliche sexuelle Orientierungen, variierende ethnische Zuschreibungen, diverse Körperbilder, Figuren mit psychischen Beeinträchtigungen und körperlichen Einschränkungen. Im Rahmen einer umfassenden filmanalytischen Untersuchung werden Handlung und Dramaturgie, die Figurenkonzeption sowie die im Erzähltext vermittelten Normen und Werte herausgearbeitet und aufgezeigt, wie jenseits stereotypisierender Reproduktionen und Restriktionen facettenreiche und divers gestaltete Frei- und Spielräume für individuelle Identitätsexplorationen eröffnet werden.
