Decent work?
(ICDD, International Center for Development and Decent Work, University of Kassel, 2013-03)
Pastoralism and ranching are two different rangeland-based livestock systems in dryland areas of East Africa. Both usually operate under low and irregular rainfall and consequently low overall primary biomass production of high spatial and temporal heterogeneity.
Both are usually located far from town centres, market outlets and communication,
medical, educational, banking, insurance and other infrastructure. Whereas pastoralists can be regarded as self-employed, gaining their livelihood from managing their ...

Anti-austerity movements and authoritarian statism in Portugal
(2017-08-28)
In the last decade, Portugal saw different forms of open class struggle. Since 2003, the ruling class has been attacking the tremendous achievements of the 500 days of the Portuguese Revolution of 1974-1975 (Raposo 2015: 6). Today, privatisation, wage cuts, de-industrialisation and other forms of neoliberal ‘reforms’ are being implemented. The working class, the poor and the youth did not silently stand by and watch the dismantling of the welfare state that they and their parents had gained by significant effort ...

Trade Unions in Greece between Crisis and Revitalization: Rebuilding Workers´ Power from Below?
(2017-08-28)
Long before the economic crisis in Greece, its labor movement had been already in a crisis itself. Indicators of the crisis of trade unions are seen in low union density in the private sector, lack of union representation at the workplace level and the representation gap considering young, female, immigrant and precarious workers. The trade union bureaucracy is dominated by public sector unions and led by party-factions. Inner cohesion of the labor movement is shattered by the organizational divisions of public and ...

Brexit as a conjuncture
(2018-02-27)
This academic paper presents the results of a small-scale research project with the title “Brexit as a conjuncture”. We combine the theoretical reflection on the conjunctural tendencies in the United Kingdom (UK) since the Thatcher era with the empirical media analysis at the moment of the rupture. Unlike academic papers that discuss either political and economic reasons of Brexit (see Clarke, Goodwin and Whiteley, 2016; Arnorsson and Zoega, 2016) or its conjunctural dynamics (see Jessop, 2016), our work combines the ...

Ansatzfunktionen auf dem logarithmischen Raum: die Log-FE-Methode [Abstract]
(2015-09)
Die Logarithmische Finite-Elemente-Methode (Log-FE-Methode) bietet einen neuartigen Ansatz zur Berechnung von FE-Modellen, insbesondere im Rahmen von Multigrid-Verfahren.
In Multigrid-Verfahren wird eine schnelle und robuste Konvergenz insbesondere durch die Entkopplung der Einflüsse der Freiheitsgrade auf den unterschiedlichen Längenskalen erreicht. Das Näherungsverfahren auf dem groben Netz sollte daher auf einer deutlich gröberen Skala arbeiten und (räumlich) hochfrequente Deformationsanteile vermeiden.
