The practice of multiculturalism in modern liberal democracies has been hampered by lack of a clear definition of ‘racism’ and ‘anti-racism’ as well as confusion about the role of multiculturalism in addressing disadvantage and combating racism. This lack of clarity has contributed to a marginalization of anti-racism within multiculturalism. As a prerequisite to re-centring anti-racist praxis w...

RÉSUMÉ. Les approches à base de modèles se développent fortement pour la conception d’applications interactives. Les modèles sont alors utilisés pour représenter les points de vue des différents intervenants (dont l’utilisateur). Cet article présente une approche qui peut s’appliquer à chaque itération de conception. Elle vise à vérifier la cohérence de coconception des modèles de tâches (repré...

Computerunterstützung für die Planung von Operationen ist ein etabliertes Forschungsgebiet und teilweise bereits klinische Praxis. Die Vorbereitung eines chirurgischen Eingriffs erfordert Bildanalyseund Visualisierungsverfahren, mit denen die Zielstrukturen exploriert werden können. In diesem Beitrag wird ein Konzept für die Visualisierung von Lungenmetastasen beschrieben, wobei der Schwerpunkt...

Die Datenbank gestattet flexible Eingaben zur landwirtschaftlichen Bearbeitung von Flächen bzw. Teilflächen unter gleichzeitiger Berücksichtigung von Bodendaten und landschaftlichen Strukturelementen. Wesentlich ist die Angabe des geometrischen Ortes wie z.B. Punkt, ...

Objectives: To understand cultural issues within cultural sport psychology (CSP) research, methodological variation has been advocated. Those interested in carrying out CSP research with a ‘critical sensibility’ are presented with the challenge of deciding what methodology may capture a socially constructed and nuanced analysis of culture, self-identity and experience. In this paper we focus on...

This paper extends on recent research in digital cultural heritage by arguing for an enhanced engagement with post-processual archaeology. While recent digital heritage projects have demonstrated an effective use of high end user interaction with elements adapted from computer games and interactive new media systems, the dominant trend in digital heritage remains highly dependent on determinist...

German municipalities are expected to suffer from intense demographic changes in the upcoming decades; not only in the form of population losses, but also through a changing demographic structure (i.e. less children and adolescents, more elderly, higher dependency ratio, and so on). We assess local governments' vulnerability to the fiscal consequences of these demographic transformations (using...

Fitting of experimental data with a polynomial determined by Gaussian least-squares analysis is a common and well-established praxis. However, there seems to be a lack in consistency if the resulting fit parameters are to be interpreted as physically meaningful quantities. Therefore, a detailed investigation of the fitting procedure itself as well as of the measuring process, including possible...

One of the most important factors affecting the future of mankind is the progress at technology. In my paper I shall ask how far human values are endangered by technological development and, conversely, how far certain restrictions placed on technology by these human values can be justified. It seems to me, however, that to specify such values and to legitimise certain restrictions on technolog...
