Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Document from the year 2010 in the subject Biology - Zoology, , language: English, abstract: AbstractThe habitat of the four extant hyena species covers all of Africa and large parts of Asia. Hyenas living in this enormous area have been described by local and western observers for more than 2000 years. Many names have been given to the hyenas in the wide range of languages in which they have been described and several legends and wrong ideas about hyenas have also been spread.In the present study we want to retrace how the wrong perceptions about the hyena, the 'histoires absurdes' as Comte de Buffon has called them, developed and how they were overcome by several scholars in a protracted process. Due to their research work we know today that the mysterious animal 'hyaena' comprises four species which together build up the Hyaenidae family. We will start by introducing these species shortly (chap. 2).Thereafter we return to the beginning of the hyena history and outline the classical Greco-Roman reports on the hyena and how until the Renaissance and beyond these modelled the occidental perceptions of this animal (chap. 3). Then we examine how the single members of the Hyaenidae family were discovered, described and named by later naturalists and zoologists. In chronological order these were the striped hyena (Hyaena hyaena), the spotted hyena (Crocuta crocuta), the brown hyena (Parahyaena brunnea) and finally the aardwolf (Proteles cristatus) (chap. 4 and 5).Special attention is paid to the first zoological description of the striped hyena by the traveller and naturalist Engelbert Kaempfer from the end of the 17th century. The value of this widely unknown report lies in the fact that it actually made the breakthrough to overcome the confused and puzzling ideas about the hyena which had prevailed up to that time (chap. 4).We conclude our survey with a chapter on 'imaginary' hyenas in which we deal with animals that have been mistaken for real hyenas. In one of these cases the imagined hyena was apparently nothing but a fantasy creature, comprising nevertheless characteristic traits of two real hyena species (chap. 6).The descriptions of the discovery, naming and localisation of the hyena species are followed by two appendices which contain extensive original source texts (some of which are available in translation for the first time) and pictorial material.

    kart. Condition: Gut. 659 S. ; 21 cm; Gutes Ex. ; Einband geringfügig gebräunt. - INHALT : Holger Funk / Reinhard G. Wittmann Einleitung --- Reinhard G. Wittmann --- Die Schriftsteller und das literarische Kräftefeld Holger Funk --- Die Erfahrung der Stadt und ihre literarische Repräsentation. Wie Schriftsteller Berlin erleben und beschreiben --- Holger Funk / Reinhard G. Wittmann Schlußbemerkung --- Anhang --- Statistische Daten --- Gespräche mit D. Sauberzweig, D. Pforte, --- G. Dietze --- Fragebogen. // Die beiden vorliegenden Ausarbeitungen geben die Ergebnisse eines Forschungsprojekts an der FU Berlin mit dem Titel: 'Schriftsteller in Berlin heute' wieder. Der Untersuchungszeitraum erstreckte sich vom Juli 1979 bis zum Juli 1981. Im Rahmen dieses Projekts wurde unter den Berliner Schriftstellern eine Umfrage durchgeführt, bei der die Autoren persönlich einen standardisierten Fragebogen ausfüllten. Die Umfrage wurde von einer Reihe von Gesprächen mit Vertretern der verschiedenen Berliner literarischen Institutionen und kulturellen Vermittlungsinstanzen begleitet. Im Mittelpunkt der Untersuchung stand die Fragebogenaktion unter den Berliner Schriftstellern, die somit die empirische Grundlage des Projekts bildet. Einen Forschungsbericht auf empirisch erhobene Daten zu gründen, ist in der Literaturwissenschaft keine Selbstverständlichkeit und bedarf der Erläuterung. Das Projekt wird daher einleitend mit Hinblick auf die Auswahlkriterien, die Durchführung und eine Abgrenzung gegenüber anderen empirischen Ansätzen vorgestellt.

    Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Bachelorarbeit aus dem Jahr 2014 im Fachbereich BWL - Bank, Börse, Versicherung, Note: 1,6, Frankfurt School of Finance & Management, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Nach dem Besuch einer Bankfiliale ist es heutzutage nicht ungewöhnlich mit einer Menge an Papier unter dem Arm die Filiale zu verlassen. Die umfänglichen Unterlagen sind ein guter Beleg für die zahlreichen regulatorischen Veränderungen, die das (Arbeits-)Leben vieler Berater und Kunden in den letzten Jahren geprägt haben. Der Umfang der Papiere reicht von der Dokumentation des Beratungsgesprächs bis hin zu den Informationsblättern über einzelne Produkte. (.) Das 2010 eingeführte Beratungsprotokoll dagegen wird von Politik und Aufsichtsbehörde gepriesen. Es erfülle seinen Zweck des Anlegerschutzes und gebe der Behörde die Möglichkeit Beratungsgespräche genau zu rekonstruieren. Anleger hätten zudem im Streitfall ein Dokument zur Hand, das ihnen hilft etwaige Ansprüche aufgrund von Falschberatungen gegenüber ihrer Bank geltend zu machen. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird die Frage erörtert, ob dies der Realität entspricht und ob die zahlreichen gesetzlichen Änderungen in der Anlageberatung, dabei allen voran die Einführung des Beratungsprotokolls, ihre Ziele erfüllen.

Hyenas living in this enormous area have been described by local and western observers for more than 2000 years. Many names have been given to the hyenas in the wide range of languages in which they have been described and several legends and wrong ideas about hyenas have also been spread.In the present study we want to retrace how the wrong perceptions about the hyena, the ¿histoires absurdes¿ as Comte de Buffon has called them, developed and how they were overcome by several scholars in a protracted process. Due to their research work we know today that the mysterious animal ¿hyaenä comprises four species which together build up the Hyaenidae family. We will start by introducing these species shortly (chap. 2).Thereafter we return to the beginning of the hyena history and outline the classical Greco-Roman reports on the hyena and how until the Renaissance and beyond these modelled the occidental perceptions of this animal (chap. 3). Then we examine how the single members of the Hyaenidae family were discovered, described and named by later naturalists and zoologists. In chronological order these were the striped hyena (Hyaena hyaena), the spotted hyena (Crocuta crocuta), the brown hyena (Parahyaena brunnea) and finally the aardwolf (Proteles cristatus) (chap. 4 and 5).Special attention is paid to the first zoological description of the striped hyena by the traveller and naturalist Engelbert Kaempfer from the end of the 17th century. The value of this widely unknown report lies in the fact that it actually made the breakthrough to overcome the confused and puzzling ideas about the hyena which had prevailed up to that time (chap. 4).We conclude our survey with a chapter on ¿imaginary¿ hyenas in which we deal with animals that have been mistaken for real hyenas. In one of these cases the imagined hyena was apparently nothing but a fantasy creature, comprising nevertheless characteristic traits of two real hyena species (chap. 6).The descriptions of the discovery, naming and localisation of the hyena species are followed by two appendices which contain extensive original source texts (some of which are available in translation for the first time) and pictorial material.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 156 pp. Englisch.
