Seit den Anfängen systemischer Beratung und Therapie haben Frauen wichtige Beiträge zur Entwicklung von Theorie und Praxis geleistet. Nur wenige von ihnen sind heute bekannt, denn auch im systemischen Diskurs haben patriarchale Strukturen, Glaubenssätze und Verhaltensmuster Spuren hinterlassen. Die Wegbereiter*innen systemischer Praxis verfolgten das Ziel, nicht nur eine gute Begleitung von Klient*innen zu gestalten, sondern auch auf hinderliche gesellschaftliche Strukturen, Interaktionsmu...

Kooperation im Kinderschutz ist mehr als Multiprofessionalität – denn auch Eltern und Kinder sind Expert:innen. Wie Kinderschutzarbeit, die bei Familien ankommt, aussehen kann, verdeutlicht dieses Handbuch – in der Jugendhilfe und vielen anderen Praxisfeldern. Mit systemischer Perspektive und kooperationsorientierter Haltung zeigen die Autor:innen, wie einzelfallbezogene und fallunabhängige Arbeit im Dialog gelingt und wie das reflektierte aneinander Scheitern dabei hilft, gemeinsam gesche...

This book offers a comprehensive examination of the mechanisms through which invasive plant species alter soil fauna biodiversity, nutrient cycling and overall ecosystem balance. It presents detailed case studies of key invasive plants (Asclepias syriaca, Fallopia japonica, Heracleum mantegazzianum, H. sosnowskyi, Impatiens parviflora, etc.) complemented by broader discussions on soil fauna diversity and ecosystem functioning. It considers how these plant species modify the physico-chemica...

This book shares research and practice on current trends in digital technology for agricultural and rural development in the Global South. Growth of research in this field has been slower than the pace of change for practitioners, particularly in bringing socio-technical views of information technology and agricultural development perspectives together. The contents are therefore structured around three main themes: sharing information and knowledge for agricultural development, informatio...

The negative impact of chemical pesticides on human wellbeing and the environment has encouraged the development of eco-friendly alternatives for the management of plant pathogens. However, only a small number of microbial biocontrol agents (mBCAs) have been developed, registered and used in the management of plant diseases. This book analyses the deployment of mBCAs for the development of novel microbial biopesticides, considering the main plant-beneficial traits, procedures needed for ef...

Rabbits have many uses - as well as being cherished pets, they are bred for their meat and fur, and as laboratory animals. Understanding their genetics and genomics is key to their production and, equally, to their care, welfare and health. Beginning with an introduction to the rabbit, including key information on their evolution, domestication and breed types, this book then concentrates on the genetics and genomics of this valuable animal. This book covers: - Cytogenetics, genetic maps a...

Insects, being poikilothermic, are among the organisms that are most likely to respond to changes in climate, particularly increased temperatures. Range expansions into new areas, further north and to higher elevations, are already well documented, as are physiological and phenological responses. It is anticipated that the damage to crops and forests by insects will increase as a consequence of climate change, i.e. increasing temperatures primarily. However, the evidence in support of this...

The common fig Ficus carica L. is an ancient fruit native to the Mediterranean. Dried figs have been successfully produced and processed in arid regions with little sophisticated infrastructure for centuries. Figs are rich in fibre, trace minerals, polyphenols and vitamins, with higher nutrient levels than most fruits. Advances in agricultural production and postharvest technologies have not only improved the efficiency of dried fig production but have facilitated the development of high v...
