Consumer Vulnerability and Welfare in Mortgage Contracts
Irina Domurath, "Consumer Vulnerability and Welfare in Mortgage Contracts"
English | ISBN: 1509913394 | 2017 | 224 pages | PDF | 4 MB
This book advocates a new way of thinking about mortgage contracts. This claim is based on the assumption that we currently live in a political economy in which consumer debt fulfils a social function. In the field of housing this is evidenced by the expansion of mortgage credit through which consumers are to purchase residential property as a means of social inclusion and personal welfare. It is suggested that contract law needs to adjust to this new social function in order to avoid welfare losses in terms of default, over-indebtedness, and possibly eviction. To this end, this book analyses theoretical contract law frameworks and makes concrete proposals for contract law in the EU legal order.
Contemporary Issues in Sustainable Finance:
From Impact to Transparency: a journey into traditional financial products
English | 2025 | ISBN: 3031811771 | 352 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 17 MB
This book explores the evolving landscape of sustainable finance across various sectors and delves into critical topics ranging from the integration of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) criteria in investment decisions to the transformative potential of blockchain technology. In more detail, three main perspectives are addressed: the issue of materiality and integrating ESG factors in the firm business model; the trends in the debt and credit markets; and the role of governance and transparency. In nine chapters, the book covers both a theoretical approach as well as empirical analysis, providing essential perspectives for regulators, investors, practitioners, and scholars navigating the complex landscape of sustainable finance.
Contemporary Suitability of Nanobionics in Agriculture
Contemporary Suitability of Nanobionics in Agriculture: Nanotechnology in Horticultural Crops
English | 2025 | ISBN: 3031827783 | 351 Pages | PDF (True) | 14 MB
Attempts to apply nanotechnology in agriculture began with the growing realization that conventional farming technologies would neither be able to increase productivity any further nor restore ecosystems damaged by existing technologies back to their pristine state; in particular because the long-term effects of farming with "miracle seeds" in conjunction with irrigation, fertilizers, and pesticides, have been questioned both at the scientific and policy levels and must be gradually phased out.
Contested Spaces in Contemporary Turkey Environmental, Urban and Secular Politics
Fatma Müge Göçek, "Contested Spaces in Contemporary Turkey: Environmental, Urban and Secular Politics "
English | ISBN: 1784536105 | 2018 | 448 pages | PDF | 6 MB
The most significant political development of the post-Cold War era was, arguably, the diffusion of neoliberalism across the globe. Yet behind the illusion of abundance and development, the 'rule of the market' can be violent and destructive, exploiting the environment, dismissing cultural or historical conservation and ignoring individual rights. This book now examines the emergence and consequences of neoliberalism in Turkey. Of particular importance to the study are the contested spaces - those sites of struggle and protest - where the impact of this economic system is challenged or negotiated. The contributors look beyond the neoliberal cities of the West - Istanbul and Ankara - to take into account the rest of the country and the groups that are most negatively affected: such as the Kurds, women and migrants. Chapters consider the complexity of neoliberalism in Turkey, where the power of the market, the agenda of the state, and significantly, the country's past, are shown to have shaped current economic practices and policies.
Contested Spaces in Contemporary Turkey sheds new light on the societal processes that are re-shaping modern Turkey, a subject which is of increasing importance considering Erdogan's new model for an Islam-based state and in the aftermath of the July 2016 military coup attempt. It is at the cutting edge of research on urban history and social space and will be a significant resource for scholars of Turkish Studies and Kurdish Studies.

Contested Waters Sub-national Scale Water and Conflict in Pakistan
Daanish Mustafa, "Contested Waters: Sub-national Scale Water and Conflict in Pakistan"
English | ISBN: 075563523X | 2022 | 126 pages | PDF | 8 MB
Contested Waters provides an in-depth analysis of trans-boundary water conflict involving the Indus Basin in Pakistan. The book focuses on both national scale and local scale case studies to illustrate how these water conflicts are both discursively and materially driven by human institutions and politics. Through case studies of controversy over large dams, local flooding and irrigation methods, Daanish Mustafa highlights the various deeply political and institutional factors driving water conflict - specifically the disparity between national scale strategies of water politics and local scale water politics - and calls for engagement with water conflict in political terms.
Contesting the Arctic Politics and Imaginaries in the Circumpolar North
Philip E. Steinberg, "Contesting the Arctic: Politics and Imaginaries in the Circumpolar North "
English | ISBN: 1788311566 | 2018 | 224 pages | PDF | 12 MB
As climate change makes the Arctic a region of key political interest, so questions of sovereignty are once more drawing international attention. The promise of new sources of mineral wealth and energy, and of new transportation routes, has seen countries expand their sovereignty claims. Increasingly, interested parties from both within and beyond the region, including states, indigenous groups, corporate organizations, and NGOs and are pursuing their visions for the Arctic. What form of political organization should prevail? Contesting the Arctic provides a map of potential governance options for the Arctic and addresses and evaluates the ways in which Arctic stakeholders throughout the region are seeking to pursue them.
Continuous Versions of Some Classical Inequalities
Continuous Versions of Some Classical Inequalities
English | 2025 | ISBN: 3031833716 | 156 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 12 MB
This book presents the new fascinating area of continuous inequalities. It was recently discovered that several of the classical inequalities can be generalized and given in a more general continuous/family form. The book states, proves and discusses a number of classical inequalities in such continuous/family forms. Moreover, since many of the classical inequalities hold also in a refined form, it is shown that such refinements can be proven in the more general continuous/family frame.

Controlling the Effective Hamiltonian of a Driven Quantum Superconducting Circuit
Controlling the Effective Hamiltonian of a Driven Quantum Superconducting Circuit:
Doctoral Thesis accepted by Yale University, USA
English | 2025 | ISBN: 3031832698 | 135 Pages | PDF (True) | 9.4 MB
The thesis illustrates, with a remarkable combination of theoretical analysis and experimental investigation, how the static Hamiltonian of an oscillator with both 3rd and 4th order non-linearity can morph into a profoundly different Hamiltonian under the influence of an oscillating driving force. In a classical system, such transformation would not be considered a novelty, but the author demonstrates that the new Hamiltonian can possess an exotic symmetry with surprising new quantum properties that one would never anticipate from the original Hamiltonian, with no classical equivalent. The root cause of these unexpected properties is a subtle interference effect, which is only possible in a quantum context. Carefully crafted control experiments ensure that measured data are compared with theoretical predictions with no adjustable parameters. Instrumental in this comparison is a new diagrammatic theory developed by the author.

Die Finanzierung von Desinformation: Ein Überblick über Akteure, Profiteure und deren Infrastruktur
Deutsch | 2025 | ISBN: 3658480475 | 45 Pages | PDF (True) | 0.7 MB
Desinformation und Verschwörungstheorien haben in den letzten Jahren deutlich Aufschwung erhalten, da ihre Verbreitung in den sozialen Medien und anderen Online Plattformen sehr schnell und effektiv sein kann. In zurückliegenden Jahren hat die Europäische Union einige neue Gesetzesgrundlagen geschaffen, die diese Entwicklung eindämmen sollen. Dennoch hat sich ein lukrativer Markt rund um das Verbreiten von Halb- und Unwahrheiten entwickelt. Dies kann negative Konsequenzen für Einzelne und die Gesellschaft mit sich bringen, das zeigen beispielsweise Gewalttaten wie Pizzagate, oder auch die Weigerung sich impfen zu lassen oder Maske zu tragen. Ein weiteres Problem stellt die zunehmende und weltweit verbreitete russische Propaganda dar, insbesondere seit der Eskalation des Ukraine Konflikts. Der Open-Access-Band stellt die relevantesten Akteure vor, die von der Verbreitung von Desinformation profitieren: die Influencer:innen, Plattformen, Werbeträger und Zahlungsdienstleister. Dabei lässt sich mit Beispielen aus dem deutschsprachigen Raum zeigen, welche Geschäftsmodelle sich hinter der Monetarisierung verbergen, wie effektiv diese sein können und ob es Möglichkeiten der Eindämmung von Desinformation gibt, indem Finanzierungsmöglichkeiten eingeschränkt werden.
