    --> Der Integrationschancen-Wert (IC-Wert) prognostiziert Chancen von Arbeitssuchenden auf Basis von Statistiken vergangener Jahre. --> Der AMS-Algorithmus folgt damit der Grundannahme, dass sich zukünftige Ereignisse aus vergangenen Beobachtungen ableiten lassen.--> Der IC-Wert hat weitreichende Konsequenzen in der AMS-Beratungspraxis und für Arbeitssuchende. --> Deshalb sind Transparenz und Einspruchsrechte sowie öffentliche Mitsprache gefordert. <br

    Additive Schwarz preconditioners for a localized orthogonal decomposition method. ETNA - Electronic Transactions on Numerical Analysis

    No full text
    We investigate a variant of the localized orthogonal decomposition method (Henning and Peterseim, [Multiscale Model. Simul., 11 (2013), pp. 1149–1175] and Målqvist and Peterseim, [Math. Comp., 83 (2014), pp. 2583–2603]) for elliptic problems with rough coefficients. The construction of the basis of the multiscale finite element space is based on domain decomposition techniques, which is motivated by the recent work of Kornhuber, Peterseim, and Yserentant [Math. Comp., 87 (2018), pp. 2765–2774]. We also design and analyze additive Schwarz domain decomposition preconditioners for the resulting discrete problems

    Multiple Dimensions of Mediatised Translocal Social Practices. A Case Study of Domestic Migrants in Bangladesh.

    In the past decades, migration and translocal forms of living, including the spatial separation of households and families, have become everyday reality for almost a billion people. At the same time, mobile information and communication technologies, and especially mobile phones, have spread rapidly and are now accessible for many, even in poorer contexts in the Global South. The article combines practice-theory with approaches from media studies to examine how these two large themes intersect. It shows how the adoption of mobile phones by rural-to-urban labour migrants in Bangladesh is changing their translocal social practices, discusses key reasons for these changes, and their implications for translocal livelihoods and lives

    Global City Mirage: Depoliticising Urban Transformation in Belgrade and Tirana. Mitteilungen der Österreichischen Geographischen Gesellschaft|Mitteilungen der Österreichischen Geographischen Gesellschaft - Band 162<br/>(Annals of the Austrian Geographical Society - Volume 162)|

    No full text
    The article discusses global city aspirations as a mirage which Belgrade and Tirana are continuously trying to attain. Catching this mirage is the guiding rationale of urban transformations in the two cities. Importantly, I argue that peripherality and the aspirations to be more central legitimise certain urban governance strategies, specifically depoliticising urban transformation. The article demonstrates that eventually depoliticisation strategies backfire and, instead, lead to further peripheralisation. Hence, the study explores the relation between peripheralisation and depoliticising urban transformation in Belgrade and Tirana as cities which employ their urban transformation to catch up with global cities. It empirically explores this relation through analysing governance discourses and practices of two megaprojects, the Belgrade Waterfront (BWF) and the New National Theatre in Tirana. The analysis addresses three main questions, the first one is on the nature of depoliticisation and how it is practiced, while the second and the third questions tackle the entangled relation between depoliticisation and peripheralisation. Conceptually, the article draws on the scholarly debates on the concepts of peripheralisation and depoliticisation. The research is mainly based on semi-structured interviews with state officials, experts and activists, observations, project related official and branding documents and official statements. Fieldtrips were organised to Belgrade and Tirana in winter 2018–2019 and summer 2019
