Fact-Finding in International Arbitration is a first-of-its-kind book analysing the contours of an emerging transnational law of fact-finding that pledges to significantly enhance the efficiency and reliability of the crucial arbitral procedure. Establishing a factual basis for applying the law can be extraordinarily challenging, perhaps more so in international arbitration than in any other proceedings, due to the very different notions of fact-finding that reign among jurisdictions.The author, emphasising bases that manifest current (but fluid) transnational practice, congregates a viable lex evidentiae from a thorough examination and synthesis of the following bodies of source material:published arbitration proceedings and awards; the general framework of fact-finding issues as provided for under the arbitration acts of England and Wales, the United States, Germany, Brazil, Spain, Switzerland, Austria, and Italy, as well as under the Model Law; fact-finding stipulations under UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules as well as under various institutional rules; soft law (such as the IBA Rules, Prague Rules, ALI/UNIDROIT Principles of Transnational Civil Procedure); best practices as captured by legal commentary; and investment arbitration proceedings, where many decisions and awards are publicly available nowadays.The analysis process fully elaborates a detailed description and analysis of the implication of fact-finding, including gathering facts and evidence.Considering that defining the disagreements between the parties and determining the truth is a vital task of international arbitration proceedings, the international arbitration community must be able to count on a robust, consistent, and predictable, albeit flexible and adaptive, set of fact-finding rules. Against this background, the present book furnishes an inventorying of current practices and contributes to fulfilling the need for legal certainty and reliability in international arbitration

Explores the experiences spectators have when they watch a film collectively in a cinemaIs the experience of watching a film with others in a cinema crucially different from watching a film alone? Does laughing together amplify our enjoyment, and when watching a film in communal rapt attention, does this intensify the whole experience?Attending a film in a cinema implies being influenced by other people, an 'audience effect' that is particularly noticeable once affective responses like laughter, weeping, embarrassment, guilt, or anger play a role. In this innovative book, Julian Hanich explores the subjectively lived experience of watching films together, to discover a fuller understanding of cinema as an art form and a social institution that matters to millions of people worldwide. Combining recent scholarly interest in viewers' emotions and affects with insights from the blossoming debate about collective emotions in philosophy and social psychology, this study makes viewers more aware of their own experience in the cinema, and simultaneously opens up a new line of research for film studies.Key FeaturesDescribes the experiences spectators have when they watch a film collectively in a cinemaProvides detailed phenomenological descriptions of how it feels when viewers laugh, cry and get angry in the cinemaInvestigates film theorists who have previously voiced ideas about the collective cinema experience such as Walter Benjamin, André Bazin, Edgar Morin, Roland Barthes and Roger Odin

Rechtswissenschaftliche Fachdidaktik ist eine juristische Reflexionsdisziplin, die die Zusammenhänge von Rechtslehre, Rechtswissenschaft und Rechtspraxis in analytischer und normativer Absicht thematisiert. Das Handbuch »Rechtswissenschaft lehren« versammelt in diesem Sinne fünfzig Beiträge zur theoretischen Grundierung, zur interdisziplinären Kontextualisierung und disziplinären Profilierung der juristischen Fachdidaktik in Deutschland. Die Beiträge schließen an rechtsdidaktische Debatten der Vergangenheit an, machen diese wieder zugänglich und verarbeiten zugleich neuere und neueste Forschung zum juristischen Lehren und Lernen.Die Themen der Beiträge sind weit gespannt: Rechtswissenschaftliche, wissenschafts- und lehr-/lerntheoretische Fragestellungen werden ebenso behandelt wie die Strukturen der rechtswissenschaftlichen Curricula, die Didaktik spezifischer Veranstaltungen, Studienphasen und Methoden sowie die Prüfungsgestaltung und Prüfungspraxis der Rechtswissenschaft.Sie verknüpfen die juristischen Lehr-Lern-Diskurse mit den Debatten der allgemeinen Hochschuldidaktik und tragen zur Herausbildung einer juristischen Fachdidaktik bei, indem sie spezifische Aspekte rechtswissenschaftlicher Lehre – auch in praktischer Hinsicht – erörtern. Dazu zählen etwa Kriterien der Gestaltung lernförderlicher Lehrmaterialien, Fragen didaktischer Visualisierung rechtlicher Inhalte, aber auch die Bedeutung von Praxisformaten wie Law Clinics oder E-Learning-Szenarien in der Juristenausbildung. Das Handbuch richtet sich gleichermaßen an die in der rechtswissenschaftlichen Lehre Tätigen wie auch an all diejenigen, die an Grundlagen der Rechtswissenschaft und ihrer Fachdidaktik interessiert sind.

"The 1980s saw spirited debate in China, as officials and the public pressed for economic and political liberalization. But after Tiananmen, the Communist Party erased the reform debate from memory. Julian Gewirtz shows how leadership expunged alternative visions of China's future and set the stage for the policing of history under Xi Jinping"--

Will we soon be driven by autonomous electric taxis rather than steering our own car? Should cities introduce car sharing? What role will electric scooters, cable cars or man-carrying drones play? This book finally explains understandably what buzzwords like e-mobility, autonomous driving, digitalization, and mobility as a service really mean, how far advanced these technologies are today, and above all how they mutually depend on each other. In addition to the technical aspects, also legislative and social trends are considered, which represent important framework conditions with decisive influence on the mobility of the future. From the contents - Mobility needs: Who wants to go where, when, and why - and how will this change? - Technological trends: e-mobility, digitalization, autonomous driving - what will the vehicles of the future be capable of? - Car sharing, ride-hailing, e-scooters or public transport: What are future alternatives to the private car? - Politics and society: How will the framework conditions for mobility develop in the future? - Mobility in transition: What should we do to prepare for the future? About the author For many years, Dr. Julian Weber headed BMW's e-mobility innovation incubator, where he is today responsible for the digital transformation through utilization of vehicle generated data. Since 2008, he has been an adjunct professor at the Department of Automotive Engineering at Clemson University (USA). This book is a translation of an original German edition. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation. .

"This book, the first of its kind, provides market researchers and marketeers with the tools to better understand human behaviour by drawing upon social science theory from different schools of thought, including sociology, psychology and behavioural economics. It has practical examples throughout to help illustrate how to operationalise theory in market research and to underpin the way we understand how people think, behave, decide and make the choices. Each theory is explained in accessible terms to ensure that the content is relevant and useful to commercial market researchers. By considering different theoretical models of human behaviour from the outset, this book will open new avenues of investigation, develop more dynamic and challenging hypotheses to test during the research process, and ultimately result in more insightful outcomes. The book brings together theories that look at how society is shaped and formed, how this impacts on the individual, along with theories that focus on the mind and behaviour of the individual; these perspectives are equally important in market research but not usually considered within the same text. This book is not limited to theory alone, in each chapter, illustrative examples are used to help demonstrate how theory can be applied to real world market research projects. Additionally, throughout there are helpful suggestions in terms of question content to help operationalise theory. This book will appeal to the university graduates that have recently entered the field of market research and are interested in the theoretical underpinnings of human behaviour, undergraduates and post-graduates that are studying marketing, business studies or social science, where a core component of the course requirement is market research and finally those that are users of market research data and want a working knowledge of key theories of human behaviour"--

The history the Chinese Communist Party has tried to erase: the dramatic political debates of the 1980s that could have put China on a path to greater openness.On a hike in Guangdong Province in January 1984, Deng Xiaoping was warned that his path was a steep and treacherous one. "Never turn back," the Chinese leader replied. That became a mantra as the government forged ahead with reforms in the face of heated contestation over the nation's future. For a time, everything was on the table, including democratization and China's version of socialism. But deliberation came to a sudden halt in spring 1989, with protests and purges, massacre and repression. Since then, Beijing has worked intensively to suppress the memory of this era of openness.Julian Gewirtz recovers the debates of the 1980s, tracing the Communist Party's diverse attitudes toward markets, state control, and sweeping technological change, as well as freewheeling public argument over political liberalization. The administration considered bold proposals from within the party and without, including separation between the party and the state, empowering the private sector, and establishing an independent judiciary. After Tiananmen, however, Beijing systematically erased these discussions of alternative directions. Using newly available Chinese sources, Gewirtz details how the leadership purged the key reformist politician Zhao Ziyang, quashed the student movement, recast the transformations of the 1980s as the inevitable products of consensus, and indoctrinated China and the international community in the new official narrative.Never Turn Back offers a revelatory look at how different China's rise might have been and at the foundations of strongman rule under Xi Jinping, who has intensified the policing of history to bolster his own authority

The author examine whether culture has traceable influences on the internet presences of international companies and what impact these influences have on the respective web design. Therefore, he analses sample internet presences of German and Chinese companies to finally propose a culturally optimized blueprint of a website.

This book, first published in 1977, looks at the two peasant revolts that occurred in 1549, in the troubled period following the death of Henry VIII. The uprisings reveal a harsh background of economic and social injustice, intensified at the time by inflation. Peasants in North Devon rose against the imposition of the English Prayer Book, and with the local authorities paralysed and the government wavering between conciliation and repression, a general rebellion broke out. Reinforced by Cornishmen, rallying to the defence of their national identity, the peasants assembled a formidable army and laid siege to Exeter itself. Only after three major battles was the revolt suppressed. The Norfolk peasants rose against agrarian abuses, routing a small royal force and occupying Norwich. Ably led by Robert Kett, they expelled the gentry and governed the county on a programme of social justice until they were crushed by the forces released by the collapse of the other risings. These revolts display the deep-seated resentments and injustices felt by the peasantry of the sixteenth century.
