Kompakt W Rterbuch Kfz Technik

Dieses Wörterbuch dient zur Erleichterung der Arbeit für den Personenkreis, der mit englischen bzw. deutschen Fachausdrücken aus dem Bereich der KFZ-Technik konfrontiert wird. Falls nötig, werden zu den einzelnen Begriffen Hintergrundinformationen, Beispiele sowie umgangssprachliche Hinweise geliefert. Als zusätzliche Informationsebene sind nach Gruppen aufgeteilte schematische Darstellungen integriert, womit die Terminologie typischer Systeme erfasst und visualisiert ist. Bei dem vorliegenden Nachschlagewerk mit seinen circa 40.000 Stichworteintragungen handelt es sich nicht um ein Wörterbuch im üblichen Sinne, sondern um ein weit darüberhinausgehendes lexikonähnliches Fachwörterbuch. The purpose of this dictionary is to facilitate the work of persons who are confronted with English or German technical terms from the field of automotive engineering. In cases where it is necessary, background information, examples and colloquial references are provided for the individual terms. Additionally, this book includes information on schematic representations and divides them into groups, which means that it covers and visualizes terminology of typical systems. This reference work, with its approximately 40,000 keyword entries, is not a dictionary in the usual sense, but rather a technical dictionary that goes far beyond the scope of a lexicon.

Since its publication in 1995, the German Technical Dictionary has established itself as the definitive resource for anyone who needs to translate technical documents between German and English.

In this textbook we examine the extent to which moral values play a role as productive forces for companies and the economy as a whole, and explores the effect of ethical and unethical behavior at both levels. We show how ethics improves productivity, and provide specific ethics tools for practical application for both students and managers. Stemming from an overall interdisciplinary approach, this textbook fills a gap in the literature on ethics in business. Following a textbook structure, we first derive knowledge from scientific studies that are relevant for students, and then summarize the results. We explain ethical assessment approaches, and then provide an ethical assessment of economic behavior using case studies. Roleplaying and games are used to explain the behavior of people in relation to ethics. The 2nd edition has been completely revised and expanded to include new findings from the behavioral sciences (psychology, social psychology, sociology and behavioral economics). In particular, the research on emotions, motivation and group behavior have given rise to many new impulses in business ethics. In addition, new case studies and new chapters were included, like Politics and Morality, Theories of Justice, Global Ethics, and Institutions as Solutions to Specific Game Situations (game theory). This book is important for students and researchers as well as policymakers and business executives due to its focus on applications.

This volume of essays is the result of the EU project -EHISTO-, which dealt with the mediation of history in popular history magazines and explored how history in the commercialised mass media can be used in history teaching in order to develop the media literacy and the transcultural competences of young people. The volume offers articles which for the first time address the phenomenon of popular history magazines in Europe and their mediating strategies in a foundational way. The articles are intended as introductory material for teachers and student teachers. The topic also offers an innovative approach in terms of making possible a European cross-country comparison, in which results based on qualitative and quantitative methods are presented, related to the content focus areas profiled in the national magazines."
