The ERiK-Methodological Report III is the third in a series of methodological reports related to the 'Entwicklung von Rahmenbedingungen in der Kindertagesbetreuung -indikatorengestützte Qualitätsbeobachtung (ERiK)' study. The report focuses on the conception, sample selection, and survey designs of the ERiK-Surveys 2022. Together with the ERiK-Methodological Report I and II, that cover the ERiK Surveys 2020, it provides comprehensive background information on the ERiK-Surveys conducted in 2022 and describes their progression until December 31, 2021. The subsequent steps, such as implementing the ERiK-Surveys 2022, will be described in a later report.

Lehrkräfte und pädagogische Fachkräfte finden in diesem Buch Anregungen und Orientierungspunkte, um das Thema Reparieren didaktisch in ihre Schule zu integrieren. Die Autorinnen zeigen zunächst Sinnperspektiven des Reparierens von Alltagsgegenständen auf, die dessen Bedeutung als Bildungsthema unterstreichen. Dabei geht es um mehr als die Übernahme von Verantwortung für eine nachhaltige Entwicklung: Reparieren wird als einfühlsamer und innovativer Umgang mit den Dingen, als Improvisation, Neuerfindung und emotionale Arbeit beschrieben, die ermächtigend wirkt. Im zweiten Teil geht es um die praktische Gestaltung von Reparaturlernangeboten an Schulen. Dazu werden die Ergebnisse einer Studie herangezogen, für die Lehrende in ganz Deutschland befragt wurden. Sie haben sehr unterschiedliche Formate erprobt und weiterentwickelt. Ihre Erfahrungsberichte zeigen, dass Reparaturlernangebote der Unvorhersehbarkeit des Reparaturgegenstandes didaktisch erfolgreich begegnen können. Welche Besonderheiten bei bestimmten Gegenständen vom Gartenwerkzeug bis zum Smartphone zu beachten sind, welche Überlegungen zur Sicherheit angestellt werden müssen und welche Unterstützungsmöglichkeiten es gibt, wird ebenso analysiert, wie die Möglichkeiten, die sich innerhalb bestimmter Bedingungen vor Ort ergeben. Auch für eine Schule ohne Werkstattraum, auch für eine Lehrkraft ohne spezielle Reparaturkenntnisse ist die Möglichkeit gegeben, das Thema Reparieren in die Schule zu bringen, sei es im Regelunterricht, in der AG oder am Wandertag.

The French experience in Algeria's war of independence provides astonishing relevance to the U.S. occupation in Iraq and the war on terrorism. In this volume, originally published in 1963, David Galula recounts his experiences in Algeria at the height of the rebellion and presents his theories on counterinsurgency and pacification.

This open access book describes the serious threat of invasive species to native ecosystems. Invasive species have caused and will continue to cause enormous ecological and economic damage with ever increasing world trade. This multi-disciplinary book, written by over 100 national experts, presents the latest research on a wide range of natural science and social science fields that explore the ecology, impacts, and practical tools for management of invasive species. It covers species of all taxonomic groups from insects and pathogens, to plants, vertebrates, and aquatic organisms that impact a diversity of habitats in forests, rangelands and grasslands of the United States. It is well-illustrated, provides summaries of the most important invasive species and issues impacting all regions of the country, and includes a comprehensive primary reference list for each topic. This scientific synthesis provides the cultural, economic, scientific and social context for addressing environmental challenges posed by invasive species and will be a valuable resource for scholars, policy makers, natural resource managers and practitioners.

Research on interior-point methods (IPMs) has dominated the field of mathematical programming for the last two decades. Two contrasting approaches in the analysis and implementation of IPMs are the so-called small-update and large-update methods, although, until now, there has been a notorious gap between the theory and practical performance of these two strategies. This book comes close to bridging that gap, presenting a new framework for the theory of primal-dual IPMs based on the notion of the self-regularity of a function. The authors deal with linear optimization, nonlinear complementarity problems, semidefinite optimization, and second-order conic optimization problems. The framework also covers large classes of linear complementarity problems and convex optimization. The algorithm considered can be interpreted as a path-following method or a potential reduction method. Starting from a primal-dual strictly feasible point, the algorithm chooses a search direction defined by some Newton-type system derived from the self-regular proximity. The iterate is then updated, with the iterates staying in a certain neighborhood of the central path until an approximate solution to the problem is found. By extensively exploring some intriguing properties of self-regular functions, the authors establish that the complexity of large-update IPMs can come arbitrarily close to the best known iteration bounds of IPMs. Researchers and postgraduate students in all areas of linear and nonlinear optimization will find this book an important and invaluable aid to their work.
