Economy and society are placing increasingly higher expectations on people. At the same time, more and more people feel compelled to push the limits of their own capabilities, both at work and in their free time. It is often not possible to permanently meet the high expectations. Many of those affected "burn out internally" and suffer over time from the consequences of burn-out syndrome (about 25% of workers). They often find themselves overwhelmed and, over time, exhibit dangerous symptoms. Typical...

Hayao Miyazaki, one of the most famous anime directors, has embraced the creation of parallel worlds in his work in the most diverse and diverse ways. His award-winning films such as "Spirited Away", "Princess Mononoke" or "Howl's Moving Castle" are particularly suitable for examining the...

TheWigalois of Wirnt von Grafenberg describes the life of Gawein's son Gwigalois.

Among the Gram-negative pathogens, Escherichia coli(E. coli) is the main cause of nosocomial infections. As a result of antibiotic therapies, resistance develops, in E. coli mainly against beta-lactam antibiotics such as penicillins and cephalosporins (ESBL producers). This work describes the molecular genetic causes that contribute to the dissemination of cephalosporin resistance genes, blaCTX-M. Based on a collection of E. coli isolates from nosocomial infections, it could be shown that in addition to clonal spread of cephalosporin-resistant E. coli strains also...

The unions are at a crossroads. Although the much-cited crisis of the trade unions does not endanger their existence, it does require a decision regarding their function and their understanding of their role. The decision is: Do the unions accept the new balance of power between labor and capital and assume the role of a pragmatic companion to modernization, relying on derived power as an ordering factor, which is still granted to them by capital and the state? Do the...

In recent years, the effects of climate change have become the most important political issue that not only affects the ecological movement, but has long since moved onto the agenda of geopolitics - because nothing is more important than security and peace itself."Climate change is a potential threat to global peace. The book and the authors remind us that we must finally act together before it's too late is." Marcus Seyfarth, Chairman of the Foreign and Security Policy Study Groups e.V."The...

The focus of this master's thesis is on the thought, perception and action patterns of Göttingen's autonomists in the 1980s. Using the example of the conflict areas of the housing struggle and "autonomous anti-fascism", the causes of protest, protestmeans and protestdemands as well as their group dynamic consequences are analyzed using a discourse analysis of the publications of the Göttingen Autonomen in the 1980s and discursive consolidation in identity-constructing processes of inclusion and exclusion. As a conglomerate of a protest,...

The crudely funny clown, the quick-witted Kasper, the violent Punch or the melancholic Pierrot - as playwrights, H. C. Artmann, Konrad Bayer and Gerhard Rühm staged one 'funny' character after the other in their mini-plays from the 50s and 60s . What is it all about when 'hanswurst' is having sexual fun on stage, when 'kasper' causes unrest in the midst of the military or police, when 'punch' curses at the audience and throws his child out of the window,...

Universities and colleges are increasingly exposed to competition. A far-reaching transformation of the previous university administration is taking place towards an entrepreneurially oriented university management. Today entrepreneurial management concepts are transferred to universities and applied successfully. In practice, the management concepts cannot always be transferred without problems, but management concepts that have proven themselves can be adapted to the circumstances of the respective university or college. This results in major challenges for those involved. The success of management is increasingly...
