Praktikumsbericht / -arbeit aus dem Jahr 2016 im Fachbereich Soziale Arbeit / Sozialarbeit, Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences, ehem. Fachhochschule Frankfurt am Main, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Der Themenschwerpunkt der vorliegenden Arbeit liegt auf der Analyse des Bildungsauftrags einer Kindertagesstätte. Hierbei werden, ausgehend von der Konzeption des Trägers, die im pädagogischen Rahmenkonzept definierten Entwicklungsschritte hin zur Bildung untersucht und die Rolle des Autors als pädagogische Fachkraft analysiert. Hierzu wird unter anderem auf Grenzerfahrungen und strukturelle Bedingungen eingegangen. Zum Erlangen der staatlichen Anerkennung als Sozialarbeiter absolvierte ic...
Archaeologists are increasingly aware of issues of gender when studying past societies; women are becoming better represented within the discipline and are attaining top academic posts. However, until now there has been no study undertaken of the history of women in European archaeology and their contribution to the development of the discipline. Excavating Women discusses the careers of women archaeologists such as Dorothy Garrod, Hanna Rydh and Marija Gimbutas, who against all odds became famous, as well as the many lesser-known personalities who did important archaeological work. The collection spans the earliest days of archaeology as a discipline to the present, telling the stories of w...
Morphological Mouse Phenotyping: Anatomy, Histology and Imaging is an atlas of explanatory diagrams and text that guides the reader through normal mouse anatomy, histology, and imaging. The book is targeted for mouse researchers and veterinarian and human pathologists, and presents a complete, integrative description of normal mouse morphology. Disease animal models are fundamental in research to improve human health. The success of using genetically engineered mice to evaluate molecular disease hypotheses has encouraged the development of massive global projects, making the mouse the most used animal disease model. Laboratory mouse populations are straining the housing capacity of pharmaceu...
Bachelorarbeit aus dem Jahr 2015 im Fachbereich Didaktik - Allgemeine Didaktik, Erziehungsziele, Methoden, Note: 1,3, Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences, ehem. Fachhochschule Frankfurt am Main, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die modernen Gesellschaften durchleben zurzeit eine rasante Technologisierung und Mediatisierung. Insbesondere Computerspiele erfreuen sich bei allen Altersklassen einer großen Beliebtheit. Computerspiele sind in unserer Gesellschaft omnipräsent geworden und ein fester Bestandteil der Lebenswelten vieler Kinder, Jugendlicher und Erwachsener. Diese Arbeit möchte sich an die förderlichen Entwicklungsprozesse, die beim Computerspielespielen entstehen können, anlehnen und sich insbesondere mit den Bildungspotenzialen von Computerspielen beschäftigen. Hierbei werden die Aufgaben und Herausforderungen thematisiert, die sich insbesondere für die medienpädagogische Praxis daraus ergeben.
Digestive Intelligence tells the fascinating story of how our digestive systems are the centre of our bodies’ second brain and how we think and live our emotions via our stomachs. Not surprising when you consider there is something equivalent to the size of a village football pitch hiding inside our bellies--that’s the incredible magnitude of our digestive systems. Dr Matveikova answers the obvious questions: “How?” and “Why can this be so?” by explaining, in straight forward layman’s language, that the digestive system contains more than one million neurones, identical to those in the brain and is responsible for producing 90% of the body’s hormone, serotonin, the all-important hormone which makes us feel happy and full of wellbeing. It follows that, if our stomach is “out of sorts” we feel irritable and lacking in energy; and those feelings block our intellectual productivity, disorientate us and completely change our thought patterns and physical processes.
Fresh waters are disproportionately rich in species, and represent global hotspots of biodiversity. However, they are also hotspots of endangerment.
Running waters are enormously diverse, ranging from torrential mountain brooks, to large lowland rivers, to great river systems whose basins occupy subcontinents. While this diversity makes river ecosystems seem overwhelmingly complex, a central theme of this volume is that the processes acting in running waters are general, although the settings are often unique. The past two decades have seen major advances in our knowledge of the ecology of streams and rivers. New paradigms have emerged, such as the river continuum and nutrient spiraling. Community ecologists have made impressive advances in documenting the occurrence of species interactions. The importance of physical processes in rivers...
A summary of state-of-the-art research on how the river environment impacts biodiversity, species invasions, population dynamics, and the spread of waterborne disease. Blending laboratory, field and theoretical studies, it is the go-to reference for graduate students and researchers in river ecology, hydrology, and epidemiology.
Most of the papers included here were part of the Plenary Sym posium on The Testing of General Ecological Theory in Lotic Ecosys tems held in conjunction with the 29th Annual Meeting of the North American Benthological Society in Provo, Utah, April 28, 1981. Sev eral additional papers were solicited, from recognized leaders in certain areas of specialization, in order to round out the coverage. All of the articles have been critiqued by at least two or three re viewers and an effort was made to rely on authorities in stream and theoretical ecology. In all cases this has helped to insure accur acyand to improve the overall quality of the papers. However, as one of our purposes has been to encourage thought-provoking and even controversial coverage of the topics, material has been retained even though it may upset certain critical readers. It is our hope that these presentations will stimulate further research, encourage the fuller development of a theoretical perspective among lotic ecologists, and lead to the testing of general ecological theories in the stream environment.
Intended for postgraduate and professional researchers in biochemistry, biomedical sciences and cell biology, this text offers a guide to the extracellular matrix and adhesion proteins.
