This thesis uses the tools of quantum information science to uncover fascinating new insights about the intersection of quantum theory and relativity. It is divided into three self-contained parts, the first of which employs detector models to investigate how the information content of quantum fields depends on spacetime curvature and global spacetime topology. The behavior of Unruh-DeWitt detectors on curved spacetimes are investigated, following which these detectors are used to probe th...

This book examines the European Universities Initiative from multiple angles and comparative studies.It outlines the scope and potential of this initiative, and the different epistemological and methodological approaches which can be adopted to investigate it in the light of previous research on Europeanisation, on the internationalisation of higher education, and on the construction of European identities through everyday practices. With this, it presents the concept of “Euro-inte...

Dieses Open-Access-Buch besteht aus einer korpusbasierten diskurssemantischen Analyse der differenzkonstruierenden und zum Teil Lebensrollen verkörpernden Ausdrücke Flüchtling, Geflüchtete_r und Migrant_in. Es setzt sich (teils kritisch) mit der Rolle, die Sprache in der medialen und öffentlichen Aushandlung eines soziopolitisch brisanten Themas spielt, auseinander und zeigt, dass das linguistische Frame-Konzept ein theoretisch wie methodologisch fundiertes Instrumentarium zur Untersuchung...
