The Bio-inspired X-Structure/Mechanism Approach for Exploring Nonlinear Benefits in Engineering: Part II-Nonlinear Inertia and Multi-direction Vibration Isolation
by Xingjian JingThis book presents a unique approach to the design and analysis of beneficial nonlinearity, which can take an important and critical role in engineering systems and thus cannot be simply ignored in structural design, dynamic response analysis, and parameter selection. A key issue in the area is thus systematically addressed about how to analyze and design potential nonlinearities introduced to or inherent in a system of under study, which is a must-do task in many practical applications involving vibration control, energy harvesting, sensor systems and robots, etc. This book, therefore, presents an up-to-date summary on the most recent development of a cutting-edge method for nonlinearity manipulation and employment developed in recent several years, named as the X-shaped structure or mechanism approach. The method is inspired from animal leg/limb skeletons and can provide passive low-cost high-efficiency adjustable and beneficial nonlinear stiffness (high static and ultra-low dynamic), nonlinear damping (dependent on resonant frequency and vibration excitation amplitude) and nonlinear inertia (low static and high dynamic) individually or simultaneously. The X-shaped structure or mechanism is a generic structure or mechanism representing a class of beneficial geometric nonlinearity with realizable and flexible linkage mechanism or structural design of different variants or forms (quadrilateral, diamond, polygon, K/Z/S/V-shape, or others) which all share similar geometric nonlinearity and thus similar nonlinear stiffness/damping properties, flexible in design, and easy to implement. This book systematically reviews the research background, motivation, essential bio-inspired ideas, advantages of this novel method, beneficial nonlinear properties in stiffness, damping and inertia, and potential applications, which have been developed ever since 2010. This book reveals important nonlinear properties and dynamic characteristics of nonlinear inertia that can be provided through the X-structure/mechanism and also presents advantageous features of X-structure/mechanism methods in multi-direction vibration control.

Digital Natives zwischen Emanzipation und Konformität: Individuation im digital-medial geprägten Möglichkeitsraum der Adoleszenz (Adoleszenzforschung #14)
by Micha SchlichtingIn dieser Studie geht es um junge Menschen, die zur ersten Generation gehören, die in eine hochgradig digitalisierte und mediatisierte Welt hinein sozialisiert wird. Es geht darum zu erforschen, wie die Nutzung digitaler Medien mit den ihnen inhärenten Strukturen sich auf adoleszente Individuation auswirkt. Digitale Medien bieten den Jugendlichen mittels Präsenz und Form sowohl neuartige Möglichkeiten der Individuierung als auch Herausforderungen und Hemmnisse. Man könnte also sagen, sie bieten Adoleszenten einen medial erweiterten Möglichkeitsraum, der mit dem analogen psychosozialen Möglichkeitsraum der Adoleszenz auf je individuelle Weise verschwimmt und dessen mediale Form einerseits auf produktive und andererseits auch auf kontraproduktive Weise in den Prozess der adoleszenten Individuierung eingreifen kann. Digitale Medien können somit zur „Entstehung des Neuen in der Adoleszenz“ beitragen. Es werden typische Aneignungsweisen digitaler Medien im Prozess adoleszenter Individuierung rekonstruiert. Dabei wird den Fragen nachgegangen, inwieweit emanzipierende Potenziale für die Bewältigung adoleszenter Entwicklungsaufgaben entstehen können und ob auch ein Zusammenhang mit einer den Jugendlichen immer wieder zugeschriebenen Konformität bestehen kann.
Führungskompetenz im Zeitalter der Digitalen Transformation (BestMasters)
by Vanessa KriegDie Digitalisierung hat erhebliche Auswirkungen auf das Arbeitsleben und verändert die Art und Weise, wie Menschen miteinander interagieren. Dabei spielt Führung eine zentrale Rolle in der Arbeitsorganisation. Die aktuellen Veränderungen machen Führung nicht obsolet, sondern werden ihre Rolle innerhalb der Organisation verändern. Zukünftig wird Führung weniger von fachlicher Expertise abhängig sein und eine eigene, neu definierte Rolle einnehmen, bei der sich Aufgaben und Anforderungen ändern. Dies erfordert ein überarbeitetes Kompetenzprofil, welches zusätzliche Fähigkeiten umfasst. Dieses Buch zielt darauf ab, das Spannungsfeld der Führung zu erfassen, Einflussgrößen und das Hauptkompetenzprofil für erfolgreiche Führung zu identifizieren und ein mögliches Werkzeug für die Kompetenzbewertung anzubieten. Vanessa Krieg entwirft den Mockup eines Bewertungstools, um einen Abgleich von externen Erwartungen und Selbstbewertung herzustellen. Dies soll Abweichungen aufzeigen und Empfehlungen für weitere Entwicklungsmöglichkeiten bieten. Die Fallstudien zeigen, dass diese Methodik dazu beiträgt, persönliche Lücken und Kompetenzmuster auf Organisationsebene zu identifizieren, aber auch einen angemessenen Rahmen im Unternehmen erfordert, da der richtige Mindset zur Führung und der Wille zum lebenslangen Lernen notwendig sind.

Mit einer sozialkonstruktivistisch-praxistheoretischen Perspektive sowie in Bezug auf theoretische Konzepte der Kindheitsforschung wird nachgezeichnet, wie Kinder in Auseinandersetzung mit Räumen, Materialien und pädagogischen Fachkräften Randzeiten als soziale Form herstellen. Weiterhin werden die Selbst- und Fremdpositionierungen von Kindern als Kitakinder, „Doing Kitakind“, in Relation zu generationalen Ordnungsprozessen rekonstruiert. „Doing Kita in Randzeiten“ stellt eine konzeptuelle Weiterentwicklung dar, die insbesondere die relationale Handlungsmacht von Kindern in Kindertageseinrichtungen als machtvolle Insider betont.
Digitale transformatie bij een zorginstelling: Aan de slag met kennis en leiderschap
by Rob PoelsDit boek legt uit hoe digitalisering kan helpen de uitdagingen in de zorg op te lossen. Bijvoorbeeld in het terugdringen van personeelstekorten of de zorgkosten. Daarom besteedt dit boek veel aandacht aan strategie en praktische vraagstukken, en de complexe context waarin een zorginstelling zich bevindt: Een krachtenveld van toezichthouders, financiers, vaak verschillende regionale indelingen en soms dominante commerciële partijen. Digitale transformatie bij een zorginstelling – aan de slag met kennis en leiderschap helpt de toegevoegde waarde van digitalisering in de zorg te vergroten. Het biedt technische en organisatorische instrumenten waarmee bestuurders, managers en professionals in de zorg het verschil kunnen maken. Het is ook waardevol voor toezichthouders, en voor IT’ers die nieuw zijn in de zorg en het complexe speelveld nog niet overzien. Tot slot bespreekt de auteur hoe we de digitale transformatie het best kunnen organiseren, en welke leiderschap daarvoor nodig is. Alle hoofdstukken zijn afzonderlijk leesbaar.

Democratic Defence as Normal Politics: Everyday Opposition to Populist Parties in Multilevel Europe
by Angela K. BournePopulist parties in Europe attract many more votes than they did just a few decades ago and are now much more likely to govern. They have also become key players in the international sphere. At the same time, the relationship between democracy and populism is subject to substantial scholarly and public debate. This raises questions about opposition to this controversial set of political actors: do opponents favour the use of rights-restricting and exclusionary repertoires typical of ‘militant democracy’ responses to anti- democratic or extremist parties? Or do opponents favour the ordinary, persuasive and sometimes inclusive strategies more typical of the daily conduct of liberal democratic politics? To what extent is opposition conceived of as democratic defence? How do strategies vary among countries and in relation to different types of populist parties? How do international and transnational actors respond? Addressing these questions, the book presents new research mapping opposition to the Hungarian Civic Alliance (Fidesz), Law and Justice in Poland, Alternative for Germany, League and Five Start Movement in Italy, Podemos and Vox in Spain, the Sweden Democrats and the Danish People’s Party. It argues that opposition to populist parties in contemporary Europe is, in most cases, best conceived of as democratic defence as normal politics. That is, while there is no direct link between populism and a decline in democratic quality, critical claims justifying acts of opposition often problematise populist parties as threats to liberal democratic principles and values. At the same time, opponents are more likely to respond to populist parties using the repertoires of normal politics – or strategies typically employed against less controversial groupings – than the exceptional, rights-restricting instruments typically used against extremists. The case of Alternative for Germany, in which exceptional politics continues to guide much opposition, remains a case apart.

Japanische Thomas Mann-Übersetzung zwischen Kulturheteronomie und Emanzipation: Tonio Kröger-Retranslations im digitalen Topic Modeling (Digitale Literaturwissenschaft)
by Nicole Marion MuellerIn diesem Open Access Buch nähert sich Nicole Marion Mueller mithilfe innovativer digitaler Methoden dem japanischen Übersetzungspluralismus im 20. Jahrhundert und seinen historischen Rahmenbedingungen an. Dabei bezieht sie sich auf Thomas Mann, der Japans Intellektuelle wie kaum ein anderer deutscher Autor geprägt hat. Manns Erzählwerke wie insbesondere Tonio Kröger wurden nicht nur im alten japanischen Bildungssystem intensiv rezipiert, sondern in der Folge auch in zweistelliger Anzahl ins Japanische übersetzt. Diese bisher kaum wissenschaftlich aufgearbeitete Übersetzungsvielfalt, einschließlich der zuvor verborgenen Wechselwirkungen zwischen den Texten sowie der Zusammenhänge mit historischen Kontextfaktoren, wird durch Implementierung eines auf digitalen Themenmodellen basierenden Mixed Methods-Ansatzes erstmalig erschlossen.
Civil Society and the Party-state in Zimbabwe: Democracy, Hegemonies and Polarities
by Zenzo MoyoThe book utilises Gramsci’s concepts of hegemony, counter-hegemony, organic intellectuals, and integral state to interrogate how modes of engagement between the state and civil society have contributed to a polarised polity in Zimbabwe, and in turn how this has impacted democratisation processes. This was achieved by analysing intra-civil society interactions and state-civil society relations, which established deep polarised relationships that can be traced back to the liberation struggle. It also interrogates ideologies that drive these polarised relations, and how, together with material benefits from donors and the party-state, these relations impact ordinary people’s modes of existence. One of the arguments that emerge from the book is that political polarisation in Zimbabwe has now morphed into an established political culture that has played a huge role in the retardation of democratic struggles. It uses ideas of entangled modernities and travelling theory to cast doubt on the belief that civil society is the ‘missing key’ in the democratisation of developing countries.
