The present study attempts to contribute to research into the effective factors of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). EMDR is a well-studied and effective method for the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), the effective factors of which have not yet been clearly clarified. With this book, eye movements are derived directly from the EOG (electrooculogram) during an EMDR-typical setting for the first time. In addition, cortical processes such as activation, interhemispheric activation differences, and remembering and reappraisal are...

Even in the 21st century, depression is still a taboo subject, especially when it comes to male members of our society who are affected by this disease. In the first part of this research work, the clinical picture of depression and its multifactorial, i.e. social, cognitive and psycho(pathological) conditions of origin will be shown on the basis of a specific case. The basis for this is the narrative interview, which was previously conducted with a 26-year-old young man and from...

Courtship is a central theme of medieval poetry. However, the women are mainly negotiated as objects of exchange. The Kudrun seal occupies a special position. Even with the title "Ditz puech ist von Chaudrun" she points out the special position of women. It is structured through the courtship of four successive generations. The Kudrun poetry shows an increase from harmless to dangerous courtship. For this reason it can be assumed that in the Hilde part one can speak of an...

Since the beginning of the reform and opening-up policy, China has confirmed its ability to change through very high economic growth and relatively low inflation rates. The People's Bank of China, as the Chinese central bank, has made an outstanding contribution to economic development through its monetary policy. Due to the different economic and financial structure compared to Western countries, the functioning and logic of Chinese monetary policy is characterized by a number of special features. This book provides an...

The cluster concept is associated with great hopes for growth and the resulting positive employment and income effects at regional level. Due to a concentration of companies and organizations in the same industry, competitive advantages can arise for the local companies, but these do not necessarily have to be permanent. Nevertheless, in anticipation of positive regional development, cluster funding has established itself as a central component of economic policy in recent years. Based on three case studies of the packaging...

The monotypic tropical tree species Hagenia abyssinica (Rosaceae) is an anemogamous and anemochorous broad-leaved dioecious tree species native to Africa. Fossil pollen evidence suggests that it immigrated into Ethiopia from the south during the late Pleistocene. The chloroplast haplotypes identified in Hagenia are grouped into two lineages and demonstrated a strong pattern of congruence between their geographical distribution and genealogical relationships. Restricted gene flow through seeds, contiguous range expansion, mutation and rare long-distance dispersal shaped the genetic structure in the...

The max-cut problem is an NP-hard combinatorial optimization problem defined on undirected weighted graphs. It consists in finding a subset of the graph's nodes such that the aggregate weight of the edges between the subset and its complement is maximized. This book deals with a new separation approach to be used within a branch-and-cut algorithm for solving max-cut problems to optimality. The method is based on graph contraction and allows the fast separation of so-called odd-cycle inequalities. In addition, we...

For the first time in the history of European integration, the Treaty of Lisbon allows a member country to leave the EU without giving a reason. What consequences could the exit option have? Can it be assumed that the member countries will not consider leaving the EU because EU membership has been so advantageous up to now? Or will the end of the European integration process be heralded with the now explicit option to leave? Could the right to withdraw...

The amount of regional information in the Russian textbooks for the German language was and remains large. The textbooks for the German language provide valuable information about cultural and public life in Germany. Certain information through the intense recovery is stereotyped. The subject of this thesis is what images of Germany are presented in Russian school textbooks in the period 1986-2006 and whether these images have survived to this day. The study shows whether modern textbooks show a differentiated image...

Recently, technical supervision has become significantly more important. The reasons for this include the increasing shifting of non-ministerial tasks to subordinate authorities, the privatization of public tasks and the frequent interdepartmental cooperation between ministries. Ultimately, official technical supervision is increasingly proving to be a management and control instrument in the field of public administration. The author carries out a comprehensive systematization of the technical supervision in the currently existing system, but at the same time shows ways to a new...

content Mountain hiking as an option at school is not yet a very common activity, although hiking can be traced back thousands of years. Hiking days at school often do not take place as classic “hikes”, but are used as general days out to museums or cinemas. Exercise in nature is particularly important for young people who grow up in a media world that is far removed from nature and spend many hours of their school days sitting.Based on this...
