"This book provides a compendium of strategies for decolonizing global knowledge orders, research methodology and teaching in the social sciences. The volume presents recent work on epistemological critique informed by postcolonial thought, and outlines strategies for actively decolonizing social science methodology and learning/teaching environments that will be of great utility to IR and other academic fields that examine global order. The volume focuses on the decolonization of intellectual history in the social sciences, followed by contributions on social science methodology and lastly more practical suggestions for educational/didactical approaches in academic teaching. The book is not confined to the classical format of research articles but moves beyond such boundaries by bringing in spoken word and interviews with scholar-activists. Overall this volume enables researchers to practice a reflexive and situated knowledge production more suitable to confronting present-day global predicaments. The perspectives mobilise a constructive critique, but also allow for a reconstruction of methodologies and methods in ways that open up new lenses, new archives of knowledges and reconsider the who, the how and the what of the craft of social science research into global order." --

Anerkennung des Auslandsstudiums - verstanden als Anrechnung von Studienleistungen, die während eines zeitweiligen Studiums im Ausland erbracht wurden, durch die Herkunftshochschule - gilt als eines der wichtigsten Erfolgkriterien für Auslandsstudienprogramme, so insbesondere für das ERASMUS-Programm der Europäischen Gemeinschaft. Diese Studie beabsichtigt, eine systematische Übersicht über Konzeptionen und Formen der Anerkennung und Anrechnung zu erstellen. Ferner werden vorliegende Forschungsergebnisse zum Ausmaß der Anrechnung und zu Barrieren gegenüber einer vollen Anrechnung zusammengetragen. Abschließend werden die Implikationen verschiedener Anerkennungsstrategien diskutiert. (PHF/übern.)

"In diesem Band setzen sich zwanzig junge Forscherinnen und Forscher mit ihren eigenen Perspektiven und den Chancen nachhaltiger Raumentwicklung auseinander. Sie stützen sich dabei auf die große Tradition einer demokratischen Stadt- und Regionalplanung sowie Raumentwicklung, die von den Idealen und Werten der Emanzipation, Regeneration, Resilienz und Suffizienz geleitet ist."--

This paper is about an information retrieval evaluation on three different retrieval-supporting
services. All three services were designed to
compensate typical problems that arise in metadata-
driven Digital Libraries, which are not adequately
handled by a simple tf-idf based retrieval.
The services are: (1) a co-word analysis based
query expansion mechanism and re-ranking via
(2) Bradfordizing and (3) author centrality. The
services are evaluated with relevance assessments
conducted by 73 information science students.
Since the students are neither information
professionals nor domain experts the question of
inter-rater agreement is taken into consideration.
Two important implications emerge: (1) the inter-
rater agreement rates were mainly fair to
moderate and (2) after a data-cleaning step which
erased the assessments with poor agreement rates
the evaluation data shows that the three retrieval
services returned disjoint but still relevant result sets. (author's abstract)
