La recherche en sciences sociales, et plus particuli rement les tudes sur la paix, utilise souvent le travail sur le terrain comme m thode de collecte de donn es. Au cours de ce processus, les chercheurs sont expos s une vari t de risques de s curit qu'ils ne sont souvent pas pr par s g rer. Les chercheurs et les institutions qui les envoient devraient mieux g rer les risques sur le terrain, notamment en cr ant des strat gies de prise de d cision pour les chercheurs. Ces strat gies devraient s'appuyer la fois sur des connaissances de fond et sur les connaissances exp rientielles et motionnelles d'autres chercheurs ayant effectu un travail sur le terrain. Ce travail met en lumi re ma propre exp rience de recherche et les dangers que j'ai rencontr s. En montrant le processus typique du travail sur le terrain et l'attention minimale accord e la gestion des risques, il est clair que la s curit et l'exp rience personnelle sont des l ments essentiels de la recherche et des r sultats acad miques. Ce travail donne la parole d'autres chercheurs qui ont connu des incidents sur le terrain et ouvre une discussion sur les meilleurs moyens d'aider les chercheurs g rer les risques li s au travail sur le terrain.

La ricerca nelle scienze sociali, e in particolare negli studi sulla pace, utilizza spesso il lavoro sul campo come metodo per raccogliere dati. Durante questo processo, i ricercatori sono esposti a una serie di rischi per la sicurezza che spesso non sono preparati ad affrontare. I ricercatori e le loro istituzioni di provenienza dovrebbero fare un lavoro migliore per gestire i rischi sul campo, in particolare creando strategie decisionali per i ricercatori. Queste strategie dovrebbero essere informate sia da conoscenze sostanziali che da conoscenze esperienziali ed emotive di altri ricercatori che hanno condotto un lavoro sul campo. Questo lavoro mette in luce la mia esperienza di ricerca e i pericoli che ho incontrato. Mostrando il tipico processo di lavoro sul campo e la minima attenzione alla gestione del rischio, chiaro che la sicurezza e l'esperienza personale sono parti essenziali della ricerca e dei risultati accademici. Questo lavoro d voce ad altri ricercatori che hanno vissuto incidenti sul campo e apre una discussione sui modi migliori per aiutare i ricercatori a gestire i rischi dell'ambiente di lavoro sul campo.

Formulierung von Sicherheitsstrategien für Friedensforscher

In der sozialwissenschaftlichen Forschung, insbesondere in der Friedensforschung, wird h ufig Feldforschung als Methode zur Datenerhebung eingesetzt. Dabei sind die Forscher einer Vielzahl von Sicherheitsrisiken ausgesetzt, auf die sie oft nicht vorbereitet sind. Forscher und die sie entsendenden Institutionen sollten die Risiken im Feld besser managen, insbesondere durch die Entwicklung von Entscheidungsstrategien f r Forscher. Diese Strategien sollten sowohl auf inhaltlichem Wissen als auch auf dem Erfahrungs- und Gef hlswissen anderer Forscher, die Feldforschung betrieben haben, beruhen. Diese Arbeit beleuchtet meine eigenen Forschungserfahrungen und die Gefahren, denen ich begegnet bin. Durch die Darstellung des typischen Feldforschungsprozesses und des minimalen Fokus auf das Risikomanagement wird deutlich, dass Sicherheit und pers nliche Erfahrungen wesentliche Bestandteile der Forschung und der akademischen Erkenntnisse sind. Diese Arbeit gibt anderen Forschern, die Vorf lle im Feld erlebt haben, eine Stimme und er ffnet eine Diskussion dar ber, wie man Forschern am besten dabei helfen kann, Risiken in der Umgebung der Feldarbeit zu bew ltigen.
From the author of the "Magic 2.0" series comes an outer space caper where it's the thief who's having something stolen from her - her life. It is the distant future, and Baird is a loner, a part time spy, and a notorious alleged thief. "Notorious" for the audacity of her crimes; "alleged" because nobody has ever been able to legally prove she committed any of them. When the hush-hush agency known as the Toolbox recruits Baird, being a clandestine operative seems like a great way to get paid to do what she already does anyway. That is, until a mission goes wrong, and Baird is infected with a deadly virus. With only seven days to live, Baird has to complete a series of daring missions, each one designed to bring her closer to a cure. Allegedly. Baird suspects the Toolbox might not be telling her the whole truth. She's not sure what to believe or who to trust. And the clock is ticking.
Mattie and Brewster are normal, typical 16-year-old twins who live with their normal, boring parents: Martin and Gwen Banks. Normal and boring, that is, until the day their father's best friend shows up at their house-dressed in what appears to be a bathrobe. The next thing Mattie and Brewster know, their parents are frozen like human statues in their living room, the guy in the bathrobe has vanished, and they need to find answers-fast. The twins set off on a quest to discover the truth of their parents' lives. Along the way they find secrets, lies, magic, time travel, strange new friends, stranger new enemies, and a really weird dirigible (which, they're told repeatedly, is not a blimp). It is a twisted and bizarre trail that, they hope, will lead them to the man they blame for their parents' peril: Phillip.
When you discover the world is a computer program, and you figure out that by altering the code you can time travel and perform acts that seem like magic, what can possibly go wrong? Pretty much everything. Just ask Brit, who has jumped around in time with such abandon that she has to coexist with multiple versions of herself. Now, Brit the Elder finds that her memories don't match Brit the Younger's. And there's the small matter of a glitch that's making Brit the Elder's body fritz out. Brit the Elder's ex-boyfriend Phillip wants to help her, but he'll have to keep it secret from his current girlfriend, Brit the Younger, who can't stand her future self. Meanwhile, Martin is trying to protect Phillip from a relentless attacker he somehow hasn't noticed; Gwen is angry because Martin accidentally proposed to her; Gary tries to help the less fortunate, with predictably disastrous results; and an old nemesis might have to be the one to save them all. In Out of Spite, Out of Mind, our fearless wizards discover the biggest glitch in their world's program may well be themselves.
Martin and his friends discovered that their world is computer generated and that by altering the code, they could alter reality. They traveled back in time to Medieval England to live as wizards. Almost everything they've done since then has, in one way or another, blown up in their faces. So of course they decide to make dragons. It does not go well. As the wizards struggle to control their creations and protect innocent citizens, they try new things (most of which they don't enjoy), meet new people (most of whom are angry at them), and fight epic battles (most of which they lose). But their biggest challenge may be a young girl who knows that the wizards created the dragons and is determined to make them pay. On her side she has powerful allies, a magical artifact, and a faithful if not particularly helpful dog. Fight and Flight is a rollicking tale of bravery, wonder, love, revenge, greed, discovery, deception, and animal husbandry.

What s the difference between heirlooms and hybrids? How can I stop weeds from invading my flowerbeds? And what s the best way to attract helpful, beneficial insects? All these questions and more are answered in Stuff Every Gardener Should Know a handy little reference book that s perfect for gardeners of all ages and experience. From the secrets of indoor seed-starting to tips for hassle free roses, this delightful companion is blooming with fun facts and helpful ideas.
Ever since Martin Banks and his fellow computer geeks discovered that reality is just a computer program to be happily hacked, they’ve been jaunting back and forth through time, posing as medieval wizards and having the epic adventures that other nerds can only dream of having. But even in their wildest fantasies, they never expected to end up at the mercy of the former apprentice whom they sent to prison for gross misuse of magic and all-around evil behavior. Who knew that the vengeful Todd would escape, then conjure a computer game packed with wolves, wenches, wastelands, and assorted harrowing hazards—and trap his hapless former friends inside it? Stripped of their magic powers, the would-be wizards must brave terrifying dangers, technical glitches, and one another’s company if they want to see Medieval England—and their favorite sci-fi movies on VHS—ever again. Can our heroes survive this magical mystery torture? Or will it only lead them and their pointy hats into more peril?
The adventures of an American hacker in Medieval England continue as Martin Banks takes his next step on the journey toward mastering his reality-altering powers and fulfilling his destiny. A month has passed since Martin helped to defeat the evil programmer Jimmy, and things couldn’t be going better. Except for his love life, that is. Feeling distant and lost, Gwen has journeyed to Atlantis, a tolerant and benevolent kingdom governed by the Sorceresses, and a place known to be a safe haven to all female time-travelers. Thankfully, Martin and Philip are invited to a summit in Atlantis for all of the leaders of the time-traveler colonies, and now Martin thinks this will be a chance to try again with Gwen. Of course, this is Martin Banks we’re talking about, so murder, mystery, and high intrigue all get in the way of a guy who just wants one more shot to get the girl. The follow-up to the hilarious Off to Be the Wizard, Scott Meyer’s Spell or High Water proves that no matter what powers you have over time and space, you can’t control rotten luck.
An io9 Can’t Miss Science Fiction and Fantasy title in March 2014. Martin Banks is just a normal guy who has made an abnormal discovery: he can manipulate reality, thanks to reality being nothing more than a computer program. With every use of this ability, though, Martin finds his little “tweaks” have not escaped notice. Rather than face prosecution, he decides instead to travel back in time to the Middle Ages and pose as a wizard. What could possibly go wrong? An American hacker in King Arthur’s court, Martin must now train to become a full-fledged master of his powers, discover the truth behind the ancient wizard Merlin…and not, y’know, die or anything.
