International audience ; The present article aims to examine a set of creativity-related concepts, dimensions, patterns, different ways and techniques of generating ideas, developing talents, funding opportunities as well as protecting intellectual property rights, and, in particular, how all these factors affect the economy and sustainable business. To continue, there is the importance of intercultural dialogue analysed while opening cooperation and partnership opportunities in various regions, mobility opportunities among artists as well as developing skills, creativity, innovations, and entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship emerges as an important factor in a rapidly changing world of business and transforming creative ideas into a value-added. There is a significant number of university studies, creative businesses and/ or entrepreneurship programs tackled via presenting programs at universities, while the symbiosis 'Business-Arts' brings new colours to the image of creativity: investments in human resources, trainings, researches, lifelong learning and entrepreneurship open up new opportunities of merging arts and business and concentrating a wide range of artistic and business talents in one area (incubators and/ or clusters of arts) where arts and business complement each other. Thus, the research question: how does the creativity affect a sustainable business performance in Lithuania? A solid Global Entrepreneurship Monitor methodology and data mainly for the year of 2011 (including some newest trends for 2012) were used in order to light up the main problems and trends of enhancing the creativity in Lithuanian companies while creating a higher value-added and competitive advantage.
This article considers the implementation of the right to higher education for learners with special needs in Lithuania. Although this right is guaranteed by various international documents and national legal acts, the main responsibility to ensure equality in higher education for all learners is embedded in the discretion of higher education institutions. The aim of this article is to analyse Lithuanian legal regulation regarding inclusion of students with special needs into higher education institutions and to evaluate Lithuanian university policies, as institutional documents, concerning students with special educational needs. A brief overview and comparison of all Lithuanian HEI policies illustrates the institutional approach towards educating students with SEN and the level of attentiveness to realization of their right to education. The research also considers pivotal challenges of ensuring inclusive education for those students as well as presents recommendations to address these challenges. ; Aušrinė Pasvenskienė: ausrine.pasvenskiene@vdu.lt ; Milda Žaliauskaitė: milda.zaliauskaite@vdu.lt ; Aušrinė Pasvenskienė – doktor, prodziekan i wykładowca na Uniwersytecie Witolda Wielkiego w Kownie (Litwa).

Trotz der hohen innovationspolitischen Bedeutung der außeruniversitären Forschungseinrichtungen (AUF) sind sie bisher selten Gegenstand empirischer Untersuchungen. Keine der bisher vorliegenden Arbeiten legt ihren Fokus auf die Zusammenarbeit von Wissenschaftler:innen in Forschungsteams, obwohl wissenschaftliche Zusammenarbeit ein weitgehend unerforschtes Gebiet ist. Dies verwundert insofern, da gerade innovative und komplexe Aufgaben, wie sie im Bereich der Forschung bestehen, das kreative Potenzial Einzelner sowie eine gut funktionierende Kooperation der einzelnen Individuen benötigen. Die Zusammenarbeit von Wissenschaftler:innen in den AUF findet in einem kompetitiven Umfeld statt. Einerseits stehen die AUF auf Organisationsebene im Wettbewerb zueinander und konkurrieren um Forschungsgelder und wissenschaftliches Personal. Andererseits ist die kompetitive Einwerbung von Drittmitteln für Wissenschaftler:innen essentiell, um Leistungen, gemessen an hochrangigen Publikationen und Drittmittelquoten, für die eigene Karriere zu erbringen. Ein zunehmender Anteil an Drittmittelfinanzierung in den Einrichtungen hat zudem Auswirkungen auf die Personalpolitik und die Anzahl befristeter Arbeitsverhältnisse. Gleichzeitig wird Forschungsförderung häufig an Kollaborationen von Wissenschaftler:innen geknüpft und bei Publikationen und Forschungsergebnissen zeigen Studien, dass diese überwiegend das Resultat von mehreren Personen sind. Dieses Spannungsfeld zwischen Zusammenarbeit und Wettbewerb wird verstärkt durch die fehlenden Möglichkeiten für den wissenschaftlichen Nachwuchs in der Wissenschaft zu bleiben. Auch wenn die Bundesregierung auf diese Herausforderungen reagiert, muss der Einzelne seinen Weg zwischen Zusammenarbeit und Konkurrenz finden. Zielsetzung dieser Arbeit ist es, nachfolgende Forschungsfragen zu beantworten: 1. Wie können naturwissenschaftliche Forschungsteams in AUF charakterisiert werden? 2. Wie agiert die einzelne Forscherin/ der einzelne Forscher im Spannungsfeld zwischen Kooperation und Wettbewerb? 3. Welche Potentiale und Hemmnisse lassen sich auf Individual-, Team- und Umweltebene für eine erfolgreiche Arbeit von Forschungsteams in AUF ausmachen? Um die Forschungsfragen beantworten zu können, wurde eine empirische Untersuchung im Mixed Method Design, bestehend aus einer deutschlandweiten Onlinebefragung von 574 Naturwissenschaftler:innen in AUF und qualitativen Interviews mit 122 Teammitgliedern aus 20 naturwissenschaftlichen Forschungsteams in AUF, durchgeführt. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die Teams eher als Arbeitsgruppen bezeichnet werden können, da v.a. in der Grundlagenforschung kein gemeinsames Ziel als vielmehr ein gemeinsamer inhaltlicher Rahmen vorliegt, in dem die Forschenden ihre individuellen Ziele verfolgen. Die Arbeit im Team wird überwiegend als positiv und kooperativ beschrieben und ist v.a. durch gegenseitige Unterstützung bei Problemen und weniger durch einen thematisch wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnisprozess geprägt. Dieser findet vielmehr in Form kleiner Untergruppen innerhalb der Arbeitsgruppe und vor allem in enger Abstimmung mit der Teamleitung (TL) statt. Als wettbewerbsverschärfend werden vor allem organisationale Rahmenbedingungen, wie Befristungen und der Flaschenhals, thematisiert. Die TL nimmt die zentrale Rolle im Team ein, trägt die wissenschaftliche, finanzielle und personelle Verantwortung und muss den Forderungen der Organisation gerecht werden. Promovierende konzentrieren sich fast ausschließlich auf ihre Qualifizierungsarbeit. Bei Postdocs ist ein Spannungsfeld zu erkennen, da sie eigene Projekte und Ziele verfolgen, die neben den Anforderungen der TL bestehen. Die Gatekeeperfunktion der TL wird gestärkt durch ihre Rolle bei der Weitergabe von karriererelevanten Informationen im Team, z.B. bei anstehenden Konferenzen. Sie hat die wichtigen Kontakte, sorgt für die Vernetzung des Teams und ist für die Netzwerkpflege zuständig. Der wissenschaftliche Nachwuchs verlässt sich bei seinen Aufgaben und den karriererelevanten Faktoren sehr auf ihre Unterstützung. Nicht-wissenschaftliche Mitarbeitende gilt es stärker zu berücksichtigen, dies sowohl in ihrer Funktion in den Teams als auch in der Gesamtorganisation. Sie sind die zentralen Ansprechpersonen des wissenschaftlichen Personals und sorgen für eine Kontinuität bei der Wissensspeicherung und -weitergabe. Für die Organisationen gilt es, unterstützende Rahmen-, Arbeits- und Aufgabenbedingungen für die TL zu schaffen und den wissenschaftlichen Nachwuchs bei einer frühzeitigen Verantwortung für wissenschaftliche und karriererelevante Aufgaben zu unterstützen. Dafür bedarf es verbesserter Personalentwicklungskonzepte und -angebote. Darüber hinaus gilt es, Kooperationsmöglichkeiten innerhalb der Einrichtung und zwischen den Gruppen zu schaffen, z.B. durch offene Räume und Netzwerkmöglichkeiten, und innovative Arbeitsumgebungen zu fördern, um neue Formen einer innovationsfreundlichen Wissenschaftskultur zu etablieren. ; Despite the high importance of non-university research institutions for innovation policy, they have rarely been the subject of empirical studies. None of the existing studies focuses on the cooperation of scientists in research teams, although scientific teamwork is a largely unexplored field. This is surprising, since especially innovative and complex tasks, as they exist in the field of research, require the creative potential of individuals as well as a well-functioning cooperation between individuals. The cooperation of scientists in the non-university research institutions takes place in a competitive environment. On the one hand, non-university research institutions compete with each other at the organizational level and compete for research funds and scientific personnel. On the other hand, the competitive acquisition of third-party funding is essential for scientists in order to perform well for their own careers, as measured by high-ranking publications and third-party funding quotas. An increasing share of third-party funding in institutions also has an impact on personnel policy and the number of fixed-term employment contracts. At the same time, research funding is often linked to cooperation between scientists, and studies show that publications and research results are predominantly the result of several people. This tension between cooperation and competition is exacerbated by the lack of opportunities for young scientists to remain in academia. Even as the federal government responds to these challenges, individuals must find their own way between cooperation and competition. The objective of this dissertation is to answer the following research questions: 1. How can scientific research teams in non-university research institutions be characterized? 2. How does the individual researcher act in the field of tension between cooperation and competition? 3. Which potentials and obstacles can be identified on the individual, team and environmental level for a successful work of research teams in non-university research institutions? To find answers to the research questions, an empirical investigation was carried out in a mixed method design, consisting of a Germany-wide online survey of 574 natural scientists in non-university research institutions and qualitative interviews with 122 team members from 20 natural science research teams in non-university research institutions. The results show that the teams can rather be described as working groups, since especially in basic research there is no common goal, but rather a common content framework in which the researchers pursue their individual goals. The team work is predominantly described as positive and cooperative. It is mainly characterized by mutual support in case of problems and less by a thematic scientific knowledge process. This usually happens in small subgroups within the working group and, above all, in close coordination with the team leader (TL). Organizational framework conditions, e.g. fixed-term contracts, are primarily seen as exacerbating competition. The TL assumes the central role in the team, bears scientific, financial and personnel responsibility, and must meet the demands of the organization. PhD students focus almost exclusively on their qualification work. In the case of postdocs, a tension can be seen as they pursue their own projects and goals that coexist with the demands of the TL. The gatekeeper function of the TL is strengthened by her/his role in passing on career-relevant information within the team, e.g. at upcoming conferences. She or he has the important contacts, provides networking opportunities for the team, and maintains the network. Young scientists rely heavily on her or his support for their tasks and career-relevant factors. Non-scientific employees must be given greater consideration, both in their function in the teams and in the overall organization. They are central contact persons for the scientific staff and ensure continuity in the storage and transfer of knowledge. For the organizations it is important to create supportive work environments for the TL and to support young scientists in taking responsibility for scientific and career-related tasks at an early stage. This require improved personnel development concepts and offers. It is also important to create opportunities for cooperation within the institution and between groups, e.g. through open spaces and networking opportunities, and to promote innovative working environments in order to establish new forms of an innovation-friendly scientific culture.

At the outset I introduce a dominant mode of analysing border control, common in public discourses, namely the closed system perspective. This is then juxtaposed to what I claim is a more promising conceptual framework, namely that of borderscapes, which serves to highlight the dynamic, relational and multilocal character of European border control. This is then elaborated via a critical gaze at several attempts to defi ne how European states have attempted to externalize migration control to other countries in terms of supranational policy drives, ripple and mimicry effects. This then facilitates a more nuanced understanding of externalization. Since border control reterritorializes geographic spaces according to the mobility of the people through them, it follows that the EU's border control, and with it also aspects of the union's asylum policy, have both biopolitical and geopolitical implications. Accordingly, the chapter invokes the works of Foucault and Agamben in an attempt to identify the political economy underpinning the EU's mobility regime of free and forced fl ows. This perspective also allows for useful spatial interpretations of the relations between cartographic representation of the phenomenon of migration and the sovereign power involved in producing knowledge about migration and border control. By analysing the European efforts to reconstruct its borderscapes through the externalization of detention camps to Libya, I argue that focusing only on sovereign power and the production of free circulation for some, and forced fl ows of others, risk bypassing other political, technocratic and public–private dynamics. The chapter focuses in particular on the intergovernmental and supranational negotiations of a Northwestern Triade of EU states, namely the Netherlands, the UK and Denmark, alongside Germany and Italy, which facilitated the rise of Libya as a host state for preemptive European control of asylum seekers. These dynamics are crucial when seeking a comprehensive understanding of how the EurAfrican dynamics of border control are characterized by the export of control to regions like Libya or Egypt. This, in turn, has prompted two parallel developments reinforcing one another: On the one hand, it has led to the closure of legal escape routes from Africa and the Middle East, which in turn has created the unprecedented rise of a smuggling industry operating often fatal alternative routes. On the other hand, European border control and its 'combat against smugglers' has emerged as a massively lucrative market for the European arms industry, both in terms of contracts to guard the EU's external borders and in terms of the export of weapons and control systems to North African states. Finally, the chapter suggests that while many forced migration researchers have tended to view border control as a reaction to the movement of already-displaced people, externalization is in fact a cause of transnational displacement and forced migration in itself. I label this specifi c kind of forced migration brought about by EU border control 'border- induced displacement', since this allow us to appraise both the functionality of the EurAfrican border regime and the humanitarian consequences characterizing this kind of displacement. Perhaps we can then provide some tentative answers to those asking how the tragedy at Lampedusa could have happened.
AmaTerra Environmental, Inc. (AmaTerra) conducted an archeological resource survey on behalf of New Braunfels Utilities (NBU) and their engineering contractor Freese and Nichols, Inc. (FNI) in advance of the Highway 46 West Water System Expansion Project in Comal County, Texas. NBU is proposing building one new pump station (half-acre), expanding capacity at an already existing pump station (half-acre), and installing new and upgrading existing waterlines between the two of them (approximately 3.5 miles) along the south side of State Highway (SH) 46. Because NBU is a political subdivision of the State of Texas, it is subject to the Antiquities Code of Texas (ACT), requiring survey for archeological resources within the project footprint. All work was carried out to conform to 13 TAC 26, which outlines the regulations for implementing the ACT. Fieldwork was conducted on October 18–19th, 2017 by AmaTerra under Antiquities Permit 8195. Fieldwork included a pedestrian survey with 100 percent surface inspection of the proposed construction easements supplemented with shovel testing at 100-meter intervals. Additional tests were placed in the proposed new pump station while the pump station expansion was visually inspected only. The surface was found to be vegetated with grasses and understory foliage with mesquite shrub, cedar and Live Oak trees in the more densely vegetated areas. Ground visibility ranged from 50 to 100 percent across the project area. A single prehistoric site, 41CM411, was newly recorded as part of the survey and consisted of a small, diffuse surficial lithic scatter. Two previously recorded sites (41CM47 and 41CM298) were revisited as part of the investigation as well. Site 41CM47 is a mid- to late nineteenth century historic structural complex known colloquially as the "Walzem Chapel" and 41CM298 consists of several surficial lithic scatters and a quarry site. AmaTerra recommends that no further work is necessary within the project footprint prior to construction, and the portions of the three sites within the proposed construction easements are recommended ineligible for listing as State Antiquities Landmarks (SAL). All notes and forms generated while conducting fieldwork will be curated at the Texas Archeological Research Laboratory (TARL) in Austin, Texas.
Man sagt, die Sieger*innen schreiben die Geschichte. Wie also wird die Erinnerung an die Kämpfe der Arbeiter*innenbewegung nach 1989 erzählt? Dominieren Verfallsgeschichten und eine "linke Melancholie" oder entfaltet sich in der Erinnerung an das Gewesene ein Möglichkeitsdenken, das auch die Zukunft neu zu perspektivieren vermag? Sebastian Schweer analysiert engagierte deutschsprachige Erinnerungsromane, in denen die Arbeiter*innen- und Bewegungsgeschichte archiviert, kritisiert, reflektiert und weitergesponnen wird. Der Frage nach dem Verhältnis von Romanform, Erinnerung und dem Status utopischen Denkens folgend behandelt er Sujets wie Hausbesetzung, Terrorismus, das Erbe der DDR oder sozialistische Kybernetik.
Digitale Technologien sind eine Zumutung! Um dies zu ändern, sollten wir uns nicht von ihnen abwenden, sondern uns eingehender mit ihrer transformatorischen Macht befassen. Der Autor ruft dazu auf, die alternativen Rhythmen des kooperativen, solidarischen Zusammenlebens (Commoning) operabel zu machen und die Digitalität so zum Tanzen zu bringen. Er macht ein Leben vorstellbar, in dem Profit und Eigentum keine Rolle mehr spielen, sondern das nachhaltige Zusammenspiel der Bedürfnisse unserer lebendigen Ökosysteme mit jenen aller Menschen oberste Priorität hat. Hier trifft Kapitalismuskritik auf eine kritische, marxistisch-informierte Medientheorie der algorithmischen Modellierung anderer Zukünfte.
Seit der Kolonisierung der Karibik erschien in Frankreich eine Vielzahl an Zombie-Texten - von Kinderliteratur bis zum Zombie-Ballett. Besonders nach der Haitianischen Revolution 1791-1804 wurde mit der Figur des Zombies Wissen über den karibischen Raum produziert, das auch Vorstellungen von Europa nachhaltig prägte. Gudrun Rath untersucht erstmals diese vergessene transatlantische Geschichte der Zombie-Figur und zeigt, wie sie im Kontext von stereotypen Karibik-Darstellungen, Diskursen über Versklavung und Abolition, Todesriten und Vorstellungen von Körper und Seele nach dem Tod zum Einsatz kam - und wie sie Europa nicht nur in der Popkultur bis heute heimsucht.
Das Gegen\\Dokumentarische ist eine Antwort auf die Provokation des Dokumentarischen. Diese Provokation liegt im Anspruch oder Begehren, "Wirklichkeit" zu erfassen, darzustellen und zu kontrollieren. Der Begriff des Gegen\\Dokumentarischen markiert einen strategischen Einsatz, mit dem das Verständnis dokumentarischer Medien, Operationen, Institutionen, Poetiken, Ästhetiken, Schreib- und Darstellungsweisen geschärft und politisiert wird. Das Gegen\\Dokumentarische dient als Zugang, auch evidentielle Verfahren jenseits analoger Bildmedien zu beschreiben. Dabei rücken künstlerische, journalistische, juristische, politische und kulturelle Praktiken ins Blickfeld, die die Prozessualität des Gegen\\Dokumentarischen betonen.
Durch Migration entstehen vielfältige Formen der Mobilität, die verschiedene Orte, Lebensweisen und Visionen miteinander verbinden. Menschen, die migrieren, schaffen Räume, die sich sowohl von denen unterscheiden, die sie verlassen haben, als auch von jenen, die neu bezogen wurden. So werden Strukturen, Kulturen und Kommunikationsformen erschaffen, die ohne Impulse durch Migration kaum denkbar wären. Die Lebenspraxis zeigt, dass Menschen mehrere Heimaten und Zugehörigkeiten haben, diverse kulturelle und soziale Netzwerke schaffen können und dass sie mit negativen Zuschreibungen von außen kreativ und subversiv umzugehen wissen. Auf diese Weise entwickeln sich postmigrantische, mehrheimische, hybride und transkulturelle Alltagspraktiken, die bisher kaum gewürdigt worden sind. Die Beiträge dieses Bandes verstehen sich daher als Plädoyer für eine andere Sicht der Dinge und als Absage an das vorauseilende Misstrauen, mit dem migrationsbedingten Phänomenen häufig begegnet wird.
Im vorliegenden Datenreport werden zu Beginn die allgemeinen Trends und Entwicklungen von Rassismus und Xenophobie in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland im Jahr 2005 skizziert. Im Anschluss daran werden die Erscheinungsformen von Rassismus, Fremdenfeindlichkeit und Diskriminierung sowie Interventionen und Gegenmaßnahmen jeweils für die Bereiche Beschäftigung, Bildung, Recht und Wohnen detailliert dargestellt. Außerdem wird über das Ausmaß von rassistischer Gewalt und Kriminalität berichtet und es werden polizeiliche Maßnahmen zur Unterstützung der Opfer und zur Einbeziehung von NGOs aufgezeigt. (ICI)
Öffentlich kaum wahrgenommen schreitet die Veralltäglichung des Militärischen und des Krieges voran. Der Begriff "Banal Militarism" lenkt die Aufmerksamkeit auf unspektakuläre Prozesse, die von den AutorInnen des Bandes anhand historischer wie aktueller Beispiele der Repräsentation, der Inszenierung und Aneignung des Militärischen in Literatur, Theater, Kino, (Computer-)Spiel, Mode sowie in der Presse und im Alltagsleben analysiert werden. Solche Phänomene in ihrer Wirkungsmächtigkeit auf politische Kultur zu thematisieren, theoretisch zu reflektieren und als bedeutsames Forschungsfeld zu konturieren, ist das zentrale Anliegen des Bandes.
