This edited collection provides an alternative discourse on cities evolving with physically and virtually networked communities¿the ¿digital polis¿¿and offers a variety of perspectives from the humanities, media studies, geography, architecture, and urban studies. As an emergent concept that encompasses research and practice, the digital polis is oriented toward a counter-mapping of the digital cityscape beyond policing and gatekeeping in physical and virtual gated communities. Considering the digital polis as offering potential for active support of socially just and politically inclusive urban circumstances in ways that mirror the Greek polis, our attention is drawn towards the interweaving of the development of digital technology, urban space, and social dynamics. The four parts of this book address the formation of technosocial subjectivity, real-and-virtual combined urbanity, the spatial dimensions of digital exclusion and inclusion, and the prospect of emancipatoryand empowering digital citizens. Individual chapters cover varied topics on digital feminism, data activism, networked individualism, digital commons, real-virtual communalism, the post-family imagination, digital fortress cities, rights to the smart city, online foodscapes, and open-source urbanism across the globe. Contributors explore the following questions: what developments can be found over recent decades in both physical and virtual communities such as cyberspace, and what will our urban future be like? What is the ¿digital polis¿ and what kinds of new subjectivity does it produce? How does digital technology, as well as its virtuality, reshape the city and our spatial awareness of it? What kinds of exclusion and cooperation are at work in communities and spaces in the digital age? Each chapter responds to these questions in its own way, navigating readers through routes toward the digital polis.Chapter "Introduction - The digital polisand its practices: Beyond gated communities" is available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License via link.springer.com.

Oft und gerne werden Bedeutung und Wichtigkeit der Gesundheitsberufe für die Gesellschaft betont. Häufig bleibt jedoch die tatsächlich gezeigte Wertschätzung gegenüber den Erwartungen zurück. Dies trifft nicht nur auf die üblicherweise im Vordergrund stehende, tarifvertragliche Entlohnung zu, sondern vor allen Dingen auch auf den arbeitstäglichen Umgang mit den Beschäftigten in den mehr als 200.000 Großkliniken, Krankenhäusern, MVZ, Arzt-/Zahnarztpraxen oder Pflegeeinrichtungen. Unabhängig von hierarchischen Positionen, aufbauorganisatorischen Zuordnungen oder Anstellungsverhältnissen ist der Tatsache Ausdruck zu verleihen, dass alle Angehörigen von Gesundheitsbetrieben zum Gelingen des Ganzen beitragen. Auch wenn das ärztliche Handeln dabei zwangsläufig im Vordergrund steht, so ist es letztendlich doch eine Teamleistung, die den Gesamterfolg ausmacht. Einen wesentlichen Beitrag zum Gelingen leistet ein modernes und wertschätzendes Personalmanagement, das ein breites Instrumentarium anbietet: Personalentwicklung, Mitarbeitermotivation, Personalführung, Konfliktbewältigung, Arbeitsstrukturierung, bis hin zu virtuellen Arbeitsformen. Andreas Frodl erläutert mit Hilfe von zahlreichen Beispielen die verschiedenen Methoden und Verfahren praxisnah und orientiert an den besonderen Bedürfnissen Gesundheitsunternehmen und -betrieben.In der deutlich erweiterten Neuauflage wurden zahlreiche Aktualisierungen und Ergänzungen eingearbeitet, insbesondere sei das Kapitel 5 mit der Gestaltung der Arbeitsbedingungen und -umgebungen in Gesundheitsbetrieben sowie den Digitale Arbeitswelten erwähnt. Ein Grundlagen- und Nachschlagewerk für Mediziner, Ärzte, Pflegeleitungen und Führungskräfte in Gesundheitseinrichtungen.

Billions of dollars are annually transferred to poor nations to help them adapt to the effects of climate change. This Element examines how the discourses on adaptation finance of many developing country negotiators, environmental groups, development charities, academics and international bureaucrats have renewed a specific vision of aid, that of an aid intended to respond to international injustices and to fuel a regular transfer of resources between rich and poor countries. By reviewing manifestations of this normative vision of aid in key contemporary debates on adaptation finance, the author shows how these discourses have contributed to the significant financial mobilisation of developed countries towards adaptation in the Global South. But there remains a stark contrast between the many expectations associated with these discourses and today's adaptation finance landscape.

"Using the case of Uber, Disrupting D.C. examines how on-demand platforms more broadly are, and are not, remaking urban life"--

Rigorous, careful, and nonpartisan research with a high policy impact on environmental and energy economics. Environmental and Energy Policy and the Economy focuses on the effective and efficient management of environmental and energy challenges. Research papers offer new evidence on the intended and unintended consequences, the market and nonmarket effects, and the incentive and distributional impacts of policy initiatives and market developments. This volume presents six new papers on environmental and energy economics and policy. Gilbert Metcalf examines the distributional impacts of substituting a vehicle miles-traveled tax for the existing federal excise tax in the United States. David Weisbach, Samuel Kortum, Michael Wang, and Yujia Yao consider solutions to the leakage problem of climate policy with differential tax policies on the supply and demand for fossil fuels and on domestic production and consumption. Danae Hernandez-Cortes, Kyle Meng, and Paige Weber quantify and decompose recent trends in air pollution disparities in the US electricity sector. Severin Borenstein and Ryan Kellogg provide a comparative analysis of different incentive-based mechanisms to reduce emissions in the electricity sector on a path to zero emissions. Sarah Anderson, Andrew Plantinga, and Matthew Wibbenmeyer document distributional differences in the allocation of  US wildfire prevention projects. Finally, Mark Curtis and Ioana Marinescu provide new evidence on the quality and quantity of emerging “greenâ€? jobs in the United States.
