Musikalische Strukturen sind im Digitalen dem Zwang medialer und interkultureller Anschlussfähigkeit einer informatorischen Mechanik von De- und Re-Konstruktionen unterworfen. Ganz in der Tradition von Automaten und Wunschmaschinen der Musikgeschichte spielen wir heute virtuelle Instrumente in kollaborativen Netzwerken als mediale Dispositive eines akustischen Cyberspace. In dessen Resonanzräumen virtueller Klangsynthesen ist die gewohnte Opposition von Wirklichkeit und Virtualität, von Imagination und Materialität aufgehoben. An der Schnittstelle von Musik- und Medienwissenschaft beschreibt der Band die neu entstehenden Potenziale kompositorischer und klanglicher Ästhetik im digitalen Zeitalter.

Von der interlingualen zur kulturellen Übersetzung oder gar zum »translational turn«: Übersetzen ist in aller Munde. Auf seiner von Metaphorisierungsprozessen begleiteten Wanderschaft durch die Disziplinen verliert der Begriff häufig seine Konturen, und es gilt, sie wieder zu schärfen. Wie verhält sich die kulturelle Übersetzung zur interlingualen? Wer sind die AkteurInnen kultureller Übersetzungsprozesse? Welche Rolle spielen und spielten Übersetzungen im Dialog der Kulturen? Der Debattenteil beschäftigt sich mit zeitgenössischen Formen des Wissenschaftsjournalismus, der seinerseits als eine Form der Übersetzung konzipiert werden kann.

This book brings together a range of theoretical and empirical perspectives on conceptualization, measurement, multidimensional impacts and policy and service responses to address child and family poverty. It illuminates issues and trends through country level chapters, thus shedding light on dynamics of poverty in different jurisdictions. The book is structured into three sections: The first includes introductory chapters canvassing key debates around definition, conceptualization, measurement and theoretical and ideological positions. The second section covers impacts of poverty on specific domains of children’s and families’ experience using snapshots from specific countries/geographic regions. The third section focuses on programs, policies and interventions and addresses poverty and its impacts. It showcases specific interventions, programs and policies aimed at responding to children and families and communities and how they are or might be evaluated. Cross national case studies and evaluations illustrate the diversity of approaches and outcomes.

<p>The legitimacy or illegitimacy of information exchanges between competitors remains a topical debate with regard to EU competition law and policy. This book reexamines the issue in the retail financial services sector, focusing on the peculiar problems that it poses for EU market integration, consumer policy and protection and the intersection with fundamental rights. It analyzes and reflects on the relevant case law and guidelines offered by the corresponding European authorities, providing a critique of the current approach and advancing the proposition that information markets themselves need attention, in addition to the markets that they serve. The book also advances new perspectives on cases in which consumers’ personal information is involved in the exchange, recognizing the inevitable interaction between EU competition law, the interests and protection of consumers and personal data protection. It suggests that the status quo under competition law is unsatisfactorily short sighted and that the EU should take a holistic approach (including information markets) to the analysis of competition law, reflecting consumer protection and fundamental rights aspects in the assessment.</p>

Tis book originated as a small reference manual that I created to serve as an educational supplement for the dermatology residents a-t Loui siana State University Health Sciences Center. Deeming the compiled information to be useful for all dermatologists, I decided to expand the text and publish it. Every major category of the patient evaluation, from the chief complaint to the diagnosis, is addressed with regard to the dermatological diferential diagnosis. Te establishment of a precise diferential diagnosis for a gi- ven cu taneous problem is the fundamental challenge that the dermatologist faces with every patient. Tis unique exercise is very intellectual; in a short period of time the clinician must select from a list of perhaps several hundred diseases a few possibilities that match the clinic-al pre sentation. Tis is performed while also negotiating the patient - interac tion, examining the patient, and beginning to formulate a pla- n of ac tion. Profciency in the formulation of a diferential diagnosis that is brief and simultaneously thorough allows for consideration of- all pos sibilities, proper evaluation, and, hopefully, rapid diagnosis. We hope to provide the target readers (dermatologists and dermatologists- -in-train ing) with some assistance in carrying out this frequently complicated task. For the confrontation with an atypical presentation of a common disease or the classic presentation of an uncommon disease, the reader will hopefully fnd this book very useful.
