Ob spektakularer Buchtitel oder beeindruckende Fachsprache: Es gibt jede Menge Kniffe und Tricks, Menschen auf etwas aufmerksam zu machen, sie zu uberzeugen oder ihr Verhalten zu beeinflussen. Unternehmen, wohltatige Organisationen oder unser eigener Freundeskreis - nahezu jeder manipuliert bewusst oder unbewusst unser Verhalten oder unsere Ansichten. Und oft manipulieren wir uns sogar selbst, ohne es zu merken. Wir lassen uns leicht tauschen, und unser Gehirn ist alles andere als eine rationale Denkmaschine. Sexpanzer und Babytod klart mit viel Humor uber diese menschlichen Schwachen auf und beantwortet Fragen wie: Warum sind immer die anderen so schlechte Autofahrer? Wie funktionieren Lugendetektoren - und funktionieren sie uberhaupt? Was haben Comedians mit Adolf Hitler gemeinsam? Verdirbt Macht tatsachlich den Charakter? Werden wir durch unterschwellige Botschaften zum Kaufen animiert? Wieso lassen sich viele Leute so leicht Kredite aufschwatzen? Warum heisst das Buch eigentlich Sexpanzer und Babytod"? Ein leicht verstandlicher Streifzug durch die menschliche Psyche mit viel Humor und Selbstironie vom Autor der bekannten Internetseite Klopfers Web

Wie wir uns manipulieren lassen

Sexpanzer und Babytod

This book presents the huge variety of current contributions of game theory to economics. The impressive contributions fall broadly into two categories. Some lay out in a jargon free manner a particular branch of the theory, the evolution of one of its concepts, or a problem, that runs through its development. Others are original pieces of work that are significant to game theory as a whole. After taking the reader through a concise history of game theory, the contributions include such themes as: *the connections between Von Neumann's mathematical game theory and the domain assigned to him today *the strategic use of information by game players *the problem of the coordination of strategic choices between independent players *cooperative games and their place within the literature of games plus new developments in non-cooperative games *possible applications for game theory in industrial and financial economics differential qualitative games and entry dissuasion.

Photographed by Manuel Bauer and published on the occasion of the Dalai Lama's 70th birthday, this work includes essays by photographer Matthieu Ricard, and conversations with the Dalai Lama by journalist Christian Schmidt. Photographer Manuel Bauer has photographed the Dalai Lama for years. The privileged access granted him by His Holiness and his entourage have enabled Bauer to offer us these powerful images, oscillating between the spiritual and the personal, the public and the intimate, the epic and the anecdotal. About the Swiss-born photographer the Dalai Lama says: "Manuel Bauer is more than simply a professional: he is a close friend of mine. He also knows a great deal about Tibet, about the Tibetan community, and he has spent years making himself familiar with our culture. He understands Tibet comprehensively, as he does the exile community; and he knows me very well too. It is this knowledge that allows his pictures to say so much about their subjects." Bauer paints a unique and irreplaceable portrait of one of the most remarkable figures in recent history. And the book contains numerous quotes from and interviews with the Dalai Lama, plus a full timeline about Tibet's yesterday and today

This collection explores the fundamental assumptions of game theory modelling. It includes a theory of game pay-off formation, a theory of preference aggregation, discussions of the effects of interdependence between preferences upon various game structures, analyses of the impact of incomplete information upon dynamic games of negotiation, and a study using differential games. Numerous illustrations, case studies and comparative case studies show the relevance of the theoretical debate. The work is organized to develop the fundamentals for those readers with a limited knowledge of game theory.

Modern complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) digital-to-analog converters (DACs) are limited in their bandwidth due to technological constraints. These limitations can be overcome by parallel DAC architectures, which are called interleaving concepts. Christian Schmidt analyzes the limitations and the potential of two innovative DAC interleaving concepts to provide the basis for a practical implementation: the analog multiplexing DAC (AMUX-DAC) and the frequency interleaving DAC (FI-DAC). He presents analytical and discrete-time models as a theoretical foundation and develops digital signal processing (DSP) algorithms to compensate the analog impairments. Further, he quantifies the impact of various limiting parameters with numerical simulations and verifies both concepts in laboratory experiments. About the Author: Christian Schmidt works at the Fraunhofer Heinrich-Hertz-Institute, Berlin, Germany, on innovative solutions for broadband signal generation in the field of optical communications. The studies for his dissertation were carried out at the Technische Universität Berlin and at the Fraunhofer Heinrich-Hertz-Institute, both Berlin, Germany.

This checklist of the Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths) of Alberta lists 2367 species reported to occur in the province, as well as 138 species whose occurrence in Alberta is probable. Each species entry includes adult flight time and distribution status in the Cordilleran, Boreal, and Grasslands ecozones, as well as references to taxonomic works and to the literature and public collection sources of the records. Detailed notes on taxonomy, nomenclature, distribution, habitat, and biology are given for 1524 of the listed species. An additional section provides details on 171 species erroneously reported from Alberta in previous works. The authors hope it will be a useful resource for anyone carrying out species-level work on Lepidoptera in western Canada, or taxonomic work on Lepidoptera in general. An introductory section provides a general overview of the order Lepidoptera and the natural regions of Alberta, and the history and current state of knowledge of Alberta Lepidoptera. Each of the 63 families (and selected subfamilies) occurring in Alberta is briefly reviewed, with information on distinguishing features, general appearance, and general biology. The list is accompanied by an appendix of proposed nomenclature changes, consisting of revised status for 25 taxa raised from synonymy to species level, and new synonymy for 20 species-level and one genus-level taxa here considered to be subjective synonyms, with resultant revised synonymy for one taxon and formalization of seven new combinations.

Aus einem Impuls heraus begann ich Tagebuch zu schreiben. Dass ich damit in den folgenden Monaten meinen Weg zu einem neuen Leben dokumentieren würde, wusste ich in diesem Moment nicht. Alles was ich wusste, war, dass ich die Frau loslassen musste, die ich, damals wie heute, so sehr liebe, dass es weh tut. Freunde sagten mir, wie mutig sie meine Entscheidungen fanden, alle Zelte abzubrechen. Manche schienen regelrecht neidisch zu sein. Fragte sich nur worauf – keinen Job zu haben, keine Wohnung zu haben oder beides. „Du musst es als Chance sehen“, sagten sie. Ich konnte es zu dieser Zeit jedoch nur als die einzige Möglichkeit sehen, die mir blieb: komplett von vorn zu beginnen. Eben noch in Berlin als Computertechniker angestellt. Im nächsten Augenblick weit entfernt vom Stadttrubel inmitten ländlicher Idylle. Ich hüte Schafe in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, arbeite als Tischlerpraktikant in Österreich und greife irgendwo dazwischen zur Kamera, um die Suche nach mir selbst in Bildern festzuhalten. Eine großartige Liebeserklärung. Eine sensible Auseinandersetzung mit der Liebe des Lebens. So ungewohnt fragil ist der Ton des Autors – die Stimme einer neuen Generation Männer.

Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject Business economics - Information Management, grade: 1,3, University of Mannheim, language: English, abstract: This paper examines the effects of control mechanisms on a platform. First, the theoretical background of important terms in this field is given to gain a common understanding, which is necessary for classification as well as results. In this thesis, platforms are defined as products and services, which bring together user groups and enable transactions between the groups by providing infrastructure to do so. Second, literature dealing with this field of study is processed to provide a comprehensive and transparent overview about current research, including the platform type, dependent variables, and findings. Input, output, process, clan, self-control, as well as open and closed platforms, rules & values and boundary resources are identified as the most relevant control mechanisms. Thereby the first research question what types of control mechanisms are discussed in literature, is answered. The findings then are analyzed for these different types of control to address the remaining research questions how control mechanisms effect platforms and when this is useful. It can be pointed out that most mechanisms go along with advantages and disadvantages, as theory suggests. Thus, decision makers have to be clear about the goal they want to achieve when changing platform governance or control to use these effects for their advantage. If a platform aims at optimizing e.g. the degree of openness, this depends on the question: what is optimal for the platform? As ecosystems typically face the trade-off between quality (e.g. apps) and quantity (e.g. number of users), platform owners have to strategically position the platform somewhere along this continuum. The finding that some control mechanisms are superior to others for achieving certain goals, however, can directly be beneficial to managers. Also, the methods applied by the studies are analyzed, coming to the conclusion that case studies represent the predominant method in this field. Lastly, the results are discussed, contributions and limitations of this work are considered. Also, shortcomings and research gaps in this field are highlighted and future research areas are exemplified. Especially the conduction of an event study and adopting a more strategic approach are intriguing for a master thesis to fully cover the implications of managers’ decision regarding platform ecosystems.
