Free Download Reconciliation Policy in Germany 1998-2008: Construing the ‘Problem’ of the Incompatibility of Paid Employment and Care Work By Cornelius Grebe (auth.)
2010 | 244 Pages | ISBN: 3531169157 | PDF | 1 MB
Cornelius Grebe offers an analysis of work-family reconciliation policy in Germany during the Socialdemocrat-Green coalition government of 1998 to 2005. His emphasis lies on Anti-Discrimination Policy, Childcare Policy, Parental Leave Policy, and Working Time Policy. The study combines a social constructionist stance with an alternative feminist standpoint, thus offering a new methodology for political science. Although no ready-made solutions to the incompatibility problem are suggested, its changed representation is analyzed closely, leading to engaging conclusions about how policy might be different if policy-makers understood the problems differently. The study is an entirely original contribution to understanding social policy in Germany and essential reading for researchers and students from the social sciences, in particular sociology and political science.

2009 | 189 Pages | ISBN: 9814295833 | PDF | 4 MB
This volume provides an overview on the decoherence suppression methods in quantum computing, open quantum systems, quantum error correction and fault-tolerant quantum computing. It also includes concepts in geometric quantum computing by composite pulses. Quantum wipe effect is explained as an approach for suppressing decoherence of the system. A short contribution on the implementation of holonomic quantum gates with NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) is presented. The lecture notes contributed to this volume are prepared in a self-contained manner hence readers with limited knowledge on the topics could understand the discussions by following the sequence of chapters which begin with mathematical frameworks and progress to the most updated outcomes of the fields. The volume will be useful for a broad audience from graduate students to researchers interested in the field.
