"What happens under international law if a state perishes due to rising sea levels without a successor state being created? Will the state cease to exist? What would this mean for its population? Have international law and globalization progressed enough to protect the people thus affected, or does international law still depend on the territorial state when it comes to protecting entire populations? Exploring these issues, this book provides answers to these pressing questions. Focusing on small island states as actors in the international community, it evaluates the challenges that the state as a subject of international law faces in general from globalization and humanization, and what this means for small island states threatened by rising seas. Highlighting the experience of the indigenous peoples of small island states as collectives, and to the individuals living in these states, the book addresses fundamental questions of general state theory and international law, drawing on an extensive body of source material. As rising sea levels present an increasingly pressing threat to small island states, this book highlights the importance of international protection of the individual and the capacity of international organizations to act within existing international law. It identifies pressing problems where immediate action is required and argues that, in future, the responsibility for protecting individuals could shift to the international community, if a sinking island state can no longer protect its population on its own"--

Attention is fundamental to how we experience reality, and yet this notion has been understood and practised in very different ways across history. This interdisciplinary study explores the dynamic relationship between attention and its supposed opposite, distraction, as it unfolds from the eighteenth century to the present day. Its primary focus is on twentieth-century Germany and Austria, where matters of (in)attention gained a unique urgency during a period of social change and political crisis. 00Building on Enlightenment practices of self-observation, nineteenth-century Germany was the birthplace of experimental psychology, a discipline which sought to measure and potentially enhance human attention. This approach was also adopted outside the psychological laboratory-for instance in the First World War, when psychological testing was used to select soldiers for particular strategic positions. After the war these techniques filtered through into everyday life. Weimar Germany was unique in the western world in rolling out the methods of 'psychotechnics' across civilian society-in fields such as work and education, advertising and mass entertainment. This state-sponsored programme aimed to reshape people's minds and behaviour in order to build a more efficient, streamlined society.00But as this study shows, this initiative also had profound repercussions in the fields of thought, literature, and culture. New readings of leading writers and intellectuals of the period-Kafka, Musil, Kracauer, Benjamin, and Adorno-are interspersed with broader cultural-historical chapters dedicated to the history of psychology and psychiatry, to Weimar self-help literature, portrait photography, and musical culture.

"Focusing on Georgia, this book presents a theoretical and empirical study on the implementation of durable solutions for internally displaced persons (IDPs). Building on extensive field research, it describes and explains the considerable problems which Georgia faces in establishing global norms, as well as the ongoing hardship that IDPs experience. Importantly, the book reveals the simultaneous progress and setbacks in implementing durable solutions. Successfully combining approaches from humanistic studies, international relations, and organizational sociology, this book explains the interaction of norms and actors at and among three societal levels: the international, national, and local"--

Uncertainties about the tax treatment of business transactions in the tax return or tax balance sheet can cause significant accounting challenges for current and deferred taxes in the financial statements. Whereas the accounting treatment of tax risks or tax audit risks has been regulated under US GAAP since 2006, a corresponding IFRS regulation was only published in 2017 and is effective from the 2019 fiscal year. The author takes this as an opportunity to analyze and critically assess the differences between the US GAAP accounting regulation "FIN 48 - Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" and the IFRS accounting regulation "IFRIC 23 - Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments". Building on the insights from her analysis, the author also examines the problem areas arising from IFRIC 23 from the perspective of the German tax authorities, German business practice and German advisory practice. About the author Carolin Seibert graduated with a Master of Science in Business Administration from the University of Münster, Germany. Currently, she works as a tax assistant and is pursuing her PhD at the Institute of Corporate Taxation and Accounting at the University of Trier, Germany. Her work and research focus on international tax law.

In diesem Open-Access-Buch wird gezeigt, dass die christliche Predigt eine multimodal realisierte rekonstruktiv-prospektive kommunikative Gattung ist, die die Aufgabe hat, eine Wissens-, Glaubens- und Praktikengemeinschaft herzustellen. Diese Gattung wurde bisher nicht konzise auf allen Gattungsebenen beschrieben. Die vorliegende Arbeit schließt diese Forschungslücke mithilfe natürlicher Audio- und Videodaten. Theoretisch und methodisch bewegt sich die Arbeit an der Schnittstelle zwischen Linguistik und Soziologie. Sie greift sowohl auf das Modell der kommunikativen Gattungen nach Luckmann als auch auf das Repertoire der Multimodalen Interaktionsanalyse zurück. Zusätzlich wird ein neues, innovatives Modell für die Transkription von Multimodalität vorgestellt.

Rassismus und Raum bedingen sich gegenseitig. (Neo-)Rassismus bedient sich raumtheoretischer Konzeptionen, um sich selbst zu konstituieren und zu legitimieren. Carolin Mehnert greift diese bisher kaum beachtete Korrelation auf, um ein relationales und reziprokes Raumverständnis als anti-rassistische Denk-, Sprech- und Handlungsweise gegen eine absolutistische Containerraum-Vorstellung produktiv zu machen. Wieso braucht Rassismus, um an sein konsequentes Ende zu gelangen, nicht nur ein biologistisch-naturalisierendes Moment, sondern gleichermaßen eine Verortung in einem absoluten und eindeutig geographisch zu fassenden Raum?

Diese Open-Access-Publikation entfaltet die Konstruktion von Wissen mit Social-Media-Analysen in der deutschen Automobilindustrie. Dort herrscht Goldgräberstimmung – trotz enormem Innovationsdruck: Big Data soll Licht in manches Dunkel bringen und offene Fragen beantworten. Im Ergebnis wird entlang der angewandten Praxis das Handeln und Denken eines deutschen Automobilherstellers rekonstruiert: Es fehlt an Deutungskompetenz sowie an der Bereitschaft, sich auf das Wissenspotential der Netzöffentlichkeit einzulassen. Ausgerechnet das zukunftsorientierte Thema der Digitalisierung hat viel mit Vergangenheit zu tun.
