Obdachlosigkeit tritt nicht nur gesellschaftlich, sondern auch in der Forschung als Randthema in Erscheinung. Dieses Buch rückt die Bewältigungspraxis obdachloser Frauen und Männer in den Fokus, indem ein exploratives und rekonstruktives Vorgehen realisiert wird, welches die Eigenlogik ihrer Alltagspraxis thematisiert. Ziel des Buches ist eine mehrperspektivische Betrachtung und Diskussion zur Bedeutung der Erkenntnisse über die Bewältigungspraxen obdachloser Frauen und Männer. Homelessness appears as a marginal topic not only in society but also in research. This book brings the coping practices of homeless women and men into focus by implementing an explorative and reconstructive approach that addresses the inherent logic of the everyday practices of homeless women and men. The aim of the book is a multi-perspective view and discussion on the significance of the findings on the coping practices of homeless women and men.

Barely known in public is the life of long-distance commute workers who extract the „blue and black gold” for the export to Europe. They are travelling people who work and live rotationally for a few weeks at the extraction sites before they go back again to their families in the southern regions. This ethnography takes the reader from the Volga Region to the Arcitc “Russian Gas Capital” Novy Urengoy and provides critically insights into the Russian petroleum industry. Nahezu unbekannt sind der Öffentlichkeit die Lebensweisen jener ArbeiterInnen, die das „schwarze und blaue Gold“ für den Export nach Europa fördern. Sie sind fahrende und fliegende Menschen, die zyklisch für Wochen oder Monate in den Fördergebieten leben und arbeiten, um wieder für eine Weile zu ihren Familien heimzukehren. Die Ethnographie führt von der Wolgaregion in die subarktische „russische Gashauptstadt“ Novy Urengoy und gibt einen kritischen Einblick in die russische Petroleumindustrie.

This book presents new and original research in Statistical Information Theory, based on minimum divergence estimators and test statistics, from a theoretical and applied point of view, for different statistical problems with special emphasis on efficiency and robustness. Divergence statistics, based on maximum likelihood estimators, as well as Wald’s statistics, likelihood ratio statistics and Rao’s score statistics, share several optimum asymptotic properties, but are highly non-robust in cases of model misspecification under the presence of outlying observations. It is well-known that a small deviation from the underlying assumptions on the model can have drastic effect on the performance of these classical tests. Specifically, this book presents a robust version of the classical Wald statistical test, for testing simple and composite null hypotheses for general parametric models, based on minimum divergence estimators.

"Rich collection of articles by anthropologists, economists, historians, physicians, and sociologists reflects on the complexity and diversity of issues associated with women's participation in traditional and non-traditional socio-cultural roles in Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. Issues addressed include the relationship between illness and pregnancy in different ethnic groups within both urban and rural areas, female participation in civil society, and violence in gender relations"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
