Dieses Buch basiert auf den Erfahrungen und Erkenntnissen, die während und durch den C-Kurs des SKT an der DHBW Stuttgart gesammelt wurden. Ausgehend von einigen Algorithmen, die in den Natur- und Ingenieurswissenschaften, aber auch in der reinen Informatik Verwendung finden, wird der grundlegende Ablauf eines Programms dargestellt, was dann in der Programmiersprache C eine konkrete Umsetzung findet. Die wesentliche Syntax und Semantik wird anhand der Entwicklung von Beispielprogrammen eingeführt und vertieft, sowie durch das eigenständige Bearbeiten von Aufgaben zu verschiedenen Themen gefestigt. Lösungen zu jeder im Buch gestellten Aufgabe finden sich im Anhang. Die Programme werden schrittweise mit neuen Funktionen versehen und erreichen am Ende schon eine größere Komplexität. Auch auf die Projektführung (Strukturierung, Kommentierung, Programmierstil) wird von Anfang an Wert gelegt, sodass der Leser auch größere Programme sicher entwickeln kann.

Editorial studies: a fundamental intermedial discipline for all subjects which require media of various kinds to be reliably processed and made available. Besides well-founded knowledge of their subjects, editors need knowledge and skills in the theory and practice of editorship. To date, however, there has been an absence of general guidelines which can be applied to all subjects. The present textbook develops these guidelines in order to provide a unified basis for editorial studies.

In 2. Aufl. entwickeln die Autoren ein Bild der Geschichte Israels und Judas in der Antike aus sozialen und ökonomischen Verhältnissen, zeitgenössischen Inschriften, archäologischen und ikonographischen Funden als Grundlage biblischer Exegese und Theologie. Sie konstruieren damit den Hintergrund der biblischen Groß-Erzählung, die seit persischer Zeit als kollektive Erinnerung in Jerusalem, Babylonien und im Heiligtum auf dem Garizim entstand.
This volume aims to be an up-to-date summary of the archaeology of the Land of the Bible, from late Prehistory until Alexander’s conquest. It will cover periods of immense importance in the development of human culture in general, and of the cultures and peoples in the ancient Near East in general. As this the region in which many of the foundational cultures of the “Old World” developed (or interacted with), it is a region of crucial importance for understanding the development of human history, culture and socio-economic patterns. In addition, as it is a region in which major parts of the biblical narrative is set, the study of the archaeology of this region is crucial for understanding the geographic, historical and cultural background of the peoples and cultures reflected in the biblical texts. Due to the deep interest that the Bible generates, particularly in Judeo-Christian cultures, the archaeology of this region is of much interest, to scholars and lay people.
The period which I wish to cover, from the Neolithic period to the Hellenistic period, reflects major cultural phases in the development of human culture in this region. This includes: the appearance of the first villages and agriculture; the beginning of social and economic hierarchy; early urbanism and political complexity; the rise of the Canaanite culture; major phases of technological development; the transformation between the Bronze and Iron Age and the appearance of new identity groups and peoples (including the Israelites, Philistines, Phoenicians, Arameans and others); the development of regional “territorial” kingdoms during the Iron Age; and their subsequently being swallowed by the Mesopotamian empires (Assyrian, Babylonian and Persian). From a point of view of historical periods, this overlaps major periods of early Egyptian and Mesopotamian history, and periods depicted in the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament, and early Greek historiography.
That said, most of the available summaries of the archaeology of the region are outdated (both in the finds and the topics and approaches discussed), and are often involved in ideologically related issues (e.g. “proving/disproving” the Bible). Some of the updated summaries don’t cover the entire span periods proposed in this volume, or are non-standardized or lacking in even coverage of the relevant periods.
In addition to this, the available summaries, do not stress the major recent changes that have occurred in the archaeology of the region. Not only recent finds, but radically different analyses and theoretical perspectives, which question and challenge basic aspects of previous scholarship. For example, long accepted connections between the archaeological remains and supposed identity groups (e.g. “Canaanites”, Israelites, and Philistines) are being reassessed in contemporary scholarship which is now reflected in the available summaries, and scientific analyses which have opened up whole new perspectives on the past.
Thus, the main objective of this volume is to provide an accessible (that is, not too long and “jargon-laden”), and up-to-date summary of the archaeology of the region, taking into account recent finds and up-to-date analytic methods, recent interpretative approaches and debates, and using a less naïve interface between the archaeological remains and the textual sources (biblical and others), so as to provide an introductory text book for students, scholars, and the interested lay public. The volume will showcase how archaeology of the region has moved from a parochial, ideologically motivated endeavor (“Biblical Archaeology” in the negative sense; often conducted by theologians), into a modern, scientific and critical enquiry of the past. At the same time, it will cater to students, scholars and the lay public interested in the archaeological background of biblical history, the ancient near east and ancient cultures in general.

Occasional rites reveal how the church is perceived. Here, it is operating in a religious market that is being shaped by religious abstinence and offers from the secular competition. Simultaneously, the occasional field is growing and becoming more diverse due to, e.g., celebrant agencies. Today, any theory aiming to capture this field must be aware of much more than the four classical rites of baptism, confirmation, marriage, and funeral.

Diese Einführung wendet sich an Studierende der Literaturwissenschaft und vermittelt ihnen die zentralen Begriffe, Verfahren und Arbeitstechniken des Fachs. Anhand prägnanter Beispiele werden grundlegende Fragen nach der Bedeutung und historischen Einordnung von Texten geklärt: Was ist ein literarischer Text, und was heißt es, ihn zu lesen, zu verstehen und zu interpretieren? Wie lassen sich Gattungen bestimmen und in ihren Funktionsprinzipien erklären? Was ist ein Autor, und welche Schritte sind notwendig, um ihn und sein Werk einer bestimmten literaturgeschichtlichen Epoche oder literarischen Generation zuzuordnen?
Die aktualisierte und erweiterte Neuauflage des bewährten Studienbuches berücksichtigt nicht nur die hohen Anforderungen modularisierter Studiengänge. Es reflektiert auch die Erweiterungen des Faches insbesondere der Themenfelder "Literatur und Medien" und "Literatur und Gesellschaft". Es geht auf Veränderungen in Bezug auf die Prozesse, die Rezeption und die Partizipation einer beschleunigten digitalen Kommunikation ein, auf Migrations- und Transferprozesse, die den Begriff "(Welt-)Literatur" erweitern und neue Ansätze zur Beschreibung, Deutung und Erklärung von Texten notwendig machen, und auf veränderte gesellschaftliche und identitätspolitische Verhältnisse, die die Schwerpunkte race, class, gender für die literarische Kommunikation prägnant werden lassen. Das Einführungswerk bezieht gattungs- und fiktionalitätstheoretische Reflexionen, Forschungen zu emotionalen Wirkungen poetischer Texte ebenso ein wie konstruktive Überlegungen zu einer kulturwissenschaftlichen und raumtheoretischen Erweiterung der Literaturforschung.

Wer Finanzberichte von Unternehmen auswerten möchte, muss sich vorab einigen Grundsatzfragen stellen. Sind die Jahres- oder die Konzernabschlüsse die richtige Datenbasis? Liefern HGB- oder IFRS-Abschlüsse relevante und glaubwürdige Daten? Sind diese vergleichbar oder kann man sie vergleichbar machen? Welche bilanzpolitischen Ziele und Gestaltungen sind möglich und wie beeinflussen diese die Datenqualität? Erst dann kann eine fundierte Kennzahlenanalyse realisiert werden. Das Buch liefert theoretische und empirisch fundierte Grundlagen für eine umfassende Kennzahlenanalyse, die zugleich strikt anwendungsorientiert bleibt. Hierzu müssen die Rohdaten aus den Finanzberichten aufbereitet werden, um zielgerichtet aussagefähige Kennzahlen ermitteln und vergleichen zu können.

In many regions of the world the twenty-first century has started with a structure of endless challenges for social work. Social work seems to be in demand almost everywhere, from support schemes for children and young people into adulthood and on to support for elderly people, in community work in cities and rural regions, in disaster relief and in care for refugees. This book describes the field of social work – its themes, problems and methods – in the face of the concept of the second, reflexive modernisation. The question needs to be asked of how, and whether, social work’s success story from the first modernity can continue. We discuss the second modernity as a time of blurring boundaries. Today, it frequently faces the problem that the organised terms of its approaches come up against a social reality where the frameworks of social life are becoming dynamic. Normalised structures are dissolving or becoming mixed with new ones; boundaries are blurring and new ones appearing.

Valency grammar assumes that words, e.g. verbs, have a valency that determines the design of the construction - in the case of verbs the construction of the sentence. Construction grammar, a current direction of grammar research, does not start from the word and go to the sentence (to the construction), but as a matter of principle always starts from the construction. Both approaches are presented together in this book to show how word and construction determine each other reciprocally and how creative language usage develops from this reciprocal relationship.

Mathematics is the language of physics and technology. Yet in the age of computers, mathematic skill is not based on mastery of arithmetic. Rather, it depends on understanding relationships in time and space, and expressing them with precise and clear formulas. In this regard, one cannot rely on the rote memorization of rules and formulas - insight and intuitive understanding are crucial. But how can this understanding be achieved in higher mathematics, which depends on abstract concepts such as complex numbers, real and complex infinite series, infinitesimal calculus, 2, 3, and 4 dimensional functions, conformal maps, vectors, and linear and nonlinear ordinary and partial differential equations?
The author takes a highly practical approach to facilitating the insight essential for true learning in mathematics. Students can work directly with the simulation programs, can visualize relationships, and creatively interact with the calculation procedures. Proceeding in textbook fashion, the work makes use of a broad palette of multimedia tools, and features numerous interactive calculation programs for mathematical experimentation. Students merely have to select one of the many predefined examples and set the relevant parameters - and in a flash the results are graphically displayed in 2 or 3 dimensions. In addition, the specific functions used can be changed or even newly formulated according to user preferences. For example, a procedure developed for a fourth degree power function for the numerical calculation of zero points can be adapted for use with another function. Each simulation is accompanied by a detailed description, instructions for use, and numerous suggestions for experimentation. The mathematical simulations are based on the Easy Java Simulation (EJS) programming tool. All of the files developed with EJS are completely open and transparent. The user can even draw on the examples as building blocks for the development his or her own calculation procedures. The appendix contains a short introduction to EJS.
The work is enriched by a comprehensive collection of cosmological simulations as well as models from the Open Source Physics project, organized by subject area. Intended as a systematic collection of methods and materials for upper-secondary school teachers and as a course for students of physics and mathematics, the work facilitates hands-on and experiment-driven learning in higher mathematics.
The print version contains the electronic text and simulations for offline use. For questions concerning download or online access to the simulations, please contact service@degruyter.com.
