Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2023 in the subject Leadership and Human Resources - Generation Y, Generation Z, grade: 1,0, AKAD University of Applied Sciences Stuttgart (Wirtschaftswissenschaften), course: FGI03 - Leadership, language: English, abstract: Due to the impending shortage of skilled workers, on the labour market an employee market is emerging. This requires addressing the needs of the youngest generation, Generation Z, in the labor market in order to attract and retain them in the company. This scientific contains possible motivational incentive systems based on practical case studies.Economic and demographic circumstances have changed. There are several generations who take part the labour market now. These are subdivided in the baby boomer generation, the following generations x and y and the youngest one called Generation Z. The existence of several generations active on the labour market at one time was also the case in the past, but a demographic change can be observed, which has an increasing impact on the professional world. The retiring workers of the baby boomer generation leave a large number of vacancies. In contrast, the numerically smaller in the mid-90s born workers of Generation Z now gradually enter the labour market which creates an employee market. This can be seen by the proportion of young people between the ages of 15 and 24 in the total population, which at the beginning of 1981 was 16.6% and only 10.0% at the beginning of 2021. As a result, Generation Z is in an employee market due to the shortage of skilled workers.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 24 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2023 in the subject Politics - Region: Africa, grade: 1,0, Akkon-Hochschule für Humanwissenschaften (Transkulturelle und postkoloniale Perspektiven), course: Transkulturelle und postkoloniale Perspektiven, language: English, abstract: Frantz Fanon's concept of colonial unconsciousness is very pertinent to understanding discrimination and racism in South Africa. Fanon's visions of independence and liberation have been realized under his role with former President Thabo Mbeki as an inspiration and role model for the current and emerging generation of South African political leaders. Fanon views the consequences of racism and colonialism in South Africa as physically endured consequences, especially during apartheid, and the psychological effects suffered by the colonized population since the end of apartheid. The concept of unconsciousness engineered by Fanon offers an in-depth description of the internalized image imprinted in the colonized people's memories about themselves and their culture, which is predominantly shaped by the colonial culture's dominance. Following decades of apartheid policies in South Africa, their racist ideologies have profoundly affected people's actions and thoughts. Frantz Fanon's colonial unconscious concept significantly contributes to understanding the modern psychological and social impact of apartheid. 16 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Academic Paper from the year 2023 in the subject Politics - Environmental Policy, , language: English, abstract: Climate change is a phenomenon that is affecting not only African countries, but also other nations across the globe. Although African countries are contributing less to those factors that lead to climate change, it is the most impacted by its menaces. The atmosphere of the earth contains 24 different greenhouse gases but only one, that is carbon dioxide is emitted by human activities in excess to the atmosphere leading to the imbalances of these gases by burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gases emit high carbon to the atmosphere and worst of all, cutting down of trees that regulate the presence of this gases by taking carbon and releasing oxygen makes matters worse. Carbon holds more heat in the atmosphere, thereby bringing climate change.Africa relies heavily on natural resources for their economic well-being, and most of the agricultural activities across Africa rely much on rainwater and its distribution. Once the rainfall pattern is affected, many Africans would be affected and it will be economically disadvantageous. This paper aims to investigate the effect of these climate changes on the economies of African countries, and the impact, and the challenges that these countries faced due to it. 20 pp. Englisch.

As several studies suggest, there is a positive relationship between transformational leadership and employee well-being, but it is rather complex as it is influenced by specific mediating and moderating factors. Since the ongoing COVID-19 crisis forced many teams into remote working conditions, also leadership was predominantly performed virtually. This leads to adapted requirements for the promotion of employee well-being. This paper seeks to identify those adjustments. Thus, a conceptual model was constructed to illustrate the relationship of transformational leadership and employee well-being, which was then applied to remote work environments to propose relevant adaptations.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Academic Paper from the year 2023 in the subject Communications - Miscellaneous, grade: A, , course: Media and Communications, language: English, abstract: The representation of East Asian women in the media has described the stereotypes and gender inequality of women in Asia. The analysis of ¿Slaying the Dragon¿ film by Deborah Dee portrays an array of stereotypes. Deborah Gee's movie 'Slaying the Dragon' demonstrates the potent idea of being secretive and scary in the movie. Males in Western media frequently depict Asian women as objects of sex. In addition, Asian women are subjected to sexual harassment, as in the case of Tracy Tzu, who was physically harassed and sexually abused.Moreover, Dee describes the gender inequality in women by citing that the representation of men in the media has significantly changed. In contrast, that of women has remained the same due to the confinement of popular culture in East Asia. The research, therefore, explores the role of East Asian women in the media and the constraints of achieving their goals in the media industry 20 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2020 in the subject Business economics - Law, grade: 1,70, Zuyd University of Applied Sciences, language: English, abstract: A comprehensive legal system is the foundation for a healthy economic and social life in every country. It regulates various details of our everyday life, often without us noticing it. We act in the role of a consumer, take advantage of our guarantee for a product or buy a device and thereby conclude a contract of sales. However, we go through all these steps without even being aware of the legal background of our actions. Having this in mind, naturally not every country has the same rules and laws when it comes to regulating life within their borders. That is why, in the following we are going to take Germany, France and Spain as an example to explain different topics that have an impact on every citizen in those countries. To be more precise, the next sections will give a detailed insight into the topics of contract law and breach of contract. 24 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Academic Paper from the year 2023 in the subject Geography / Earth Science - Physical Geography, Geomorphology, Environmental Studies, grade: 3.3, Federal Urdu University (University of Karachi), course: Environmental Science, language: English, abstract: This study came at a critical time in the area. The feeble seasonal monsoon of 2009 caused a deficiency across the Pakistan. This comes after many rural households were already in dire straits facing high fertilizer charges and the impact of increasing world food prices. To aggravate the matters, the calamitous monsoon floods of 2010 overblown more than 22 million people, their homelands, structure and harvests. It has been estimated that this single flood caused around US$10 billion in damage, about partial of which was due to fatalities in the agricultural division.Introduction: The Indus Basin has a long and lively history of growth and alteration in irrigation. The settlements of the Harappan evolution in the Indus Valley date back five millennia. During the monsoon season, traces of flood channels remain that cut through the floodplains and allowed the inundation of agricultural fuel, food and minor crops within the riparian corridor. One of the largest dams, the so-called Gabarbands, dam water in torrents and branch catchment areas. Urban toilets and manure systems which aided cities such as Mohenjo-Daro in the Pakistan, Sindh¿s lower Indus River section. such smaller cities and were discovered in the 2nd millennium BC. Abandoned due to overflowing of river, salinization, and changes in riverbeds. In a large drainage basin east central Indus valley, the Ghaggar-Hakra river canal changed development during the changes due to river in Harappan era, resulting in the desertion of hundreds of settlements. Such past events raise inquiries about continual sustainability in the setting of lively hydroclimatic unpredictability. Pakistan gets most of its water from monsoon runoff, aquifers and the headwaters of glaciers and snowfields from the rivers of the Indus Basin. In the Hindu Kush-Karakorum Mountain region areas of the Himalayas, 50 to 80 percent of the average Indus flow is due to snow and glacial melt, with the remainder due to monsoonal rains on the plains. Climate transformation may result in increased unpredictability in the supply and effectiveness of snowfall, as well as variations in snow and ice melt, which would affect water resource managing in the basin. 16 pp. Englisch.

A method of investigating the primality of the numbers at these locations is developed here and uses only multiplication tables. A single equation is derived which, in a sense bifurcates into two slightly different forms upon the making of one term explicit.We can even extend the simplest definition of a prime number expressed in [5] by the addition of the phrase ¿ and can only possibly be found in the range of the counting numbers at positions on either side of any number which is divisible by 6 ¿.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 16 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2023 in the subject American Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, grade: 1,0, University of Koblenz-Landau (Anglistik und Amerikanistik), course: America on Film, language: English, abstract: The first part of this paper provides a theoretical basis for Stuart Hall¿s idea of how meaning in media is created and interpreted. Subsequently, a brief overview of the cinematic history and representation of African Americans in the United States is presented before examining the concept of transcoding to lay the foundation of challenging possible blaxploitation allegations in Free and Roe¿s 'Two Distant Strangers'. The theoretical part of this paper is complemented by a cultural analysis of the portrayal of African Americans in 'Two Distant Strangers', focusing on subverting stereotypical representation and the influence of the film in modern African American society. In that sense, Free and Roe bluntly raise awareness of the still ongoing racism and police brutality in the US. However, one could argue that the film¿s structure abandons the viewer with questions about its purpose, as 'Two Distant Strangers' undeniably shows elements of blaxploitation while generating money for Netflix, one of the most extensive streaming services on the planet. 24 pp. Englisch.

Often linked to the 'rags-to-riches' myth, this idea has consistently inspired people to migrate to the United States. The analysis focuses on the diverse interpretations of the 'American Dream' found in selected pop songs. Here, lyrics are examined for their depiction and attitudes toward the 'American Dream'. Additionally, the reasons behind the association of the 'American Dream' with the American West Coast, particularly California, are discussed.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2020 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1, University of Innsbruck, language: English, abstract: This paper analyses these aspects of ¿beauty¿ in death within three poems by each author that are commonly associated with the topic; those are 'Song of myself', 'To Think of Time' and 'As at thy Portals also Death' by Walt Whitman, as well as 'I heard a fly buzz ¿ when I died', 'Because I could not stop for Death' and 'I haven¿t told my garden yet' by Emily Dickinson. This analysis then allows for a deeper insight into how these two writers make death beautiful in the conclusion.Death is a topic that is discussed widely in all of poetry. Two very popular poets of 19th century America whose works often centered around the issue are Walt Whitman and Emily Dickinson. Though most of Dickinson¿s poetry and large parts of Whitman¿s Leaves of Grass deal with this common theme, their poetry is quite different in their writing styles, length, etc.However, I would argue that both Whitman and Dickinson share a positive view on death, that is among other things depicted by the aesthetic language they use to describe the end of life as well as their belief in immortality or some sort of an afterlife, which is commonly associated with a ¿beautiful¿ experience when someone passes on. 16 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2020 in the subject Pedagogy - School Pedagogics, grade: 1, University of Innsbruck, language: English, abstract: In this paper, the Task-based Language Teaching approach and its connection to motivation is explained. In order to gain a better insight into the topic of TBLT and speaking in correlation with motivation, five articles on the topic were chosen and analyzed. Similar, as well as different approaches used in these studies and their results are discussed with a particular focus on implications for teaching. Finally, these approaches and results were critically evaluated in terms of the provided evidence to back them up.Speaking skills are one of the most vital skills to acquire as an EFL learner and the most useful skill for most of the students¿ future. However, traditional language education usually focuses too little on practice and application of the language, especially when it comes to real-world tasks that should be practiced inside the classroom as well (task-based language teaching). Among the key competencies, the most challenging is typically speaking, because of the students¿ negative attitude towards it. This is due to different factors, such as not liking the language, anxiety or lack of vocabulary. 16 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2022 in the subject Pedagogy - School Pedagogics, , language: English, abstract: A student-centered teaching and learning process is essential in all facets of education. Student-centeredness and localization and integration of students' learning preferences are equally important in learners¿ individual capacities to learn. In an educational learning recovery setting, these approaches are valuable to students' learning. These issues prompted the researchers to assess the effectiveness of student-centered, localized teaching and learning materials in enhancing learners¿ academic performance, particularly in TLE subjects. The primary goal of this study is to determine the significance of innovative teaching and learning materials in enhancing TLE literacy at Tinurik National High School, Division of Tanauan City, Batangas Province.The study was conducted using a mixed-methods research approach. The research tools used were a questionnaire for a survey and test results. Based on the results of the online survey and the test results of the students, the data was gathered. A Google Form was used to disseminate the online survey to the respondents who were learners. Tests were run both before and after the innovative teaching and learning materials were put into use. To gather sufficient data for the study's goals, the test and questionnaire were created. Through convenience sampling, 153 students total have been selected. To analyze the data, frequencies, percentages, weighted means, correlations, and T-tests were employed. 24 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2022 in the subject Philosophy - Practical (Ethics, Aesthetics, Culture, Nature, Right, .), , course: Diploma, language: English, abstract: This term paper aims to conduct an in-depth ethical analysis of nuclear warfare, exploring the moral dilemmas and consequences associated with the use of nuclear weapons. The paper begins by providing a comprehensive overview of the historical context and development of nuclear weapons, highlighting their immense destructive power and potential for catastrophic consequences.Drawing upon various ethical frameworks, including consequentialism, deontology, and just war theory, this study examines the ethical considerations surrounding nuclear warfare. It delves into the moral implications of targeting civilian populations, the principle of proportionality in armed conflict, and the concept of deterrence as a means to prevent war. Additionally, it explores the notion of responsibility in relation to nuclear weapons possession and disarmament efforts.Furthermore, this paper critically evaluates arguments both for and against nuclear deterrence as an ethically justifiable strategy. It analyzes the potential benefits of deterrence in preventing large-scale conflicts while also addressing concerns regarding its effectiveness, credibility, and potential for accidental or unauthorized use.Moreover, this research investigates alternative perspectives on nuclear disarmament efforts and explores ethical considerations associated with non-proliferation treaties. It examines the role of international organizations such as the United Nations in promoting disarmament initiatives and fostering global cooperation.Finally, this study assesses contemporary challenges posed by emerging technologies such as cyber warfare and autonomous weapons systems within the context of nuclear ethics. It highlights potential ethical dilemmas arising from these advancements and emphasizes the need for ongoing ethical analysis to address these evolving threats.By examining these complex ethical issues surrounding nuclear warfare through various lenses, this term paper aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of the moral dimensions involved. Ultimately, it seeks to foster critical thinking about nuclear weapons policymaking while encouraging dialogue on global security challenges within an ethical framework. 20 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2022 in the subject Philosophy - Philosophy of the Ancient World, , language: English, abstract: This term paper critically examines the concepts of the soul and eschatology as elucidated by Sankara, a renowned philosopher and theologian of ancient India. Grounded in Vedantic philosophy, Sankara's teachings offer profound insights into the nature of the soul, its relationship with ultimate reality (Brahman), and its journey through various stages of existence. Through a meticulous analysis of Sankara's texts, commentaries, and scholarly interpretations, this paper aims to shed light on key aspects such as the nature of the soul, its eternal essence, and its liberation from the cycle of birth and death.The paper begins by providing an overview of Sankara's philosophical framework within Vedanta, emphasizing his Advaita (non-dualistic) perspective. It explores Sankara's understanding of Atman (the individual soul) as an eternal entity that is distinct from the physical body but ultimately identical to Brahman. The concept of Maya (illusion) is also examined in relation to how it affects one's perception of reality and influences eschatological beliefs.Furthermore, this study delves into Sankara's interpretation of eschatology ¿ the study of what happens after death ¿ as outlined in his commentaries on sacred texts like Upanishads and Bhagavad Gita. It investigates his views on karma (action), samsara (cycle of rebirth), moksha (liberation), and their interplay in shaping one's spiritual journey towards self-realization.The critical analysis presented in this paper scrutinizes potential criticisms or challenges to Sankara's teachings on the soul and eschatology. It explores alternative perspectives within Vedanta itself, as well as contrasting viewpoints from other philosophical traditions or religious systems that may challenge or complement his ideas.Ultimately, this research aims to provide a comprehensive and critical understanding of Sankara's teachings on the soul and eschatology, highlighting their significance within the broader context of Indian philosophy and spirituality. By critically evaluating Sankara's ideas, this paper seeks to contribute to ongoing scholarly discourse on these profound metaphysical concepts, inviting further exploration and interpretation.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2023 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 2,0, , language: English, abstract: How is nature represented in the novel How do the characters think about nature These questions lead me to my hypothesis. Seeing all the devastating, dystopian effects, I presume: In the novel The Stone Gods by Jeanette Winterson the concept of nature is represented as a binary opposite to the concept of humanity. This hypothesis includes the reference to a binary opposition, which describes ¿a pair of mutually exclusive signifiers which are logically opposed.¿ (Oxford Reference)I want to pursue this Ecocriticism approach, which refers to ¿the study of literature in relation to environmental issues¿ (Garrard 2007), by focussing on the structure, the macro-level of the text. Therefore, I will also consider the form of the novel, for example with its rhetorical tropes and chronologically work through the plot and setting of the novel looking for evidence, which supports or negates the hypothesis. Part 3 of the novel, ¿Post-3 War¿, will not be part of my analysis, because it does not include relevant, ecological representations of nature. 20 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2020 in the subject Business economics - Corporate communication, grade: 1,70, Zuyd University of Applied Sciences, course: Intercultural Communication, language: English, abstract: In recent years it became more and more noticeable how companies lay their focus on understanding their employees since they are a decisive contribution to the success of a company. However, with the globalization being omnipresent and influencing a company¿s work environment by having employees from all over the world with different cultural backgrounds, it is harder for the companies to reach their focus goal since there are no standardized requirements that are applicable to all employees. Furthermore, this fact allowed the importance of understanding culture to be included in the curriculum of universities. Hofstede¿s cultural dimension model is therefore one of the main theories that students learn in their studies and in this paper this model and the four core leadership theroy are used to analyze the impact of culture on leadership in Germany and Canada. 16 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Essay from the year 2023 in the subject History - Miscellaneous, grade: 2,0, University of Exeter (History Department), course: Empire and Globalisation, language: English, abstract: The experiences of acceleration and globalisation could also be responsible for the 'disappearance' of space as a category. The fact that the world and its dimensions are shrinking and that everything is, in a sense, merging and disappearing into one another through a constant acceleration of events, has given rise to the misunderstanding that space has lost its meaning. Especially in globalisation research, therefore, the urgency of the new concept of space became apparent. With events such as the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the vulnerability of physical space emerged as a kind of 'master narrative'. From then on, globalisation was no longer just the global networking of goods and knowledge but also revealed a more profoundly expanded field in which not only physical space plays a role. However, this requires the right scaling in the form of the right ¿altitude¿, or rather the right spatial framework. Jürgen Osterhammel, one of the most influential global historians from Germany, puts it in a nutshell with his question: 'How high 'into the air' do you have to rise to gain which overview ' He describes this as undoubtedly one of the most important methodological questions that historians must also address. These questions were answered by the Spatial Turn, which was launched by several human geographers at the end of the twentieth century. This ensured that historical scholarship, too, became more concerned with space as an analytical tool of historiography ¿ especially for understanding globalisation. 20 pp. Englisch.

After the explanation of complete sentences in English, the importance of speaking in the curriculum of English will be explained. Following this, the idea of Warm-ups at the beginning of an English lesson is discussed and the concrete method of 'Question-Time' is presented. This method will be tested in the second part of this paper using a year 4 learning group and evaluated on a quantitative and qualitative level. Finally, the study will be critically analyzed and a conclusion will be drawn as to what extent 'Question-Time' contributes to the development of the learners' linguistic competencies with regard to the formation of complete sentences.Besonders zu Beginn des Englisch-Unterrichts in der Grundschule fällt es vielen Schülerinnen und Schülern schwer, sich auf die fremde Sprache einzulassen. Für einige sind die Vokabeln zu schwer, die Grammatik nicht verständlich oder sie haben einfach Angst vor dem selbstständigen und vor allem freien Sprechen. Dabei ist das Sprechen nicht nur ein zentraler Bestandteil des nordrhein-westfälischen Lehrplans für das Fach Englisch, sondern auch eine sehr wichtige Übungsform, um Sicherheit in der fremden Sprache zu gewinnen.Diese Arbeit konzentriert sich auf die Übungsform des Warm-Ups. Es geht dabei um eine Möglichkeit des regelmäßigen, ritualisierten Unterrichtseinstiegs 'Question-Time'. Die Schülerinnen und Schüler versuchen hier untereinander auf Englisch ins Gespräch zu kommen und so mehr und mehr das freie und selbstständige Sprechen mit bestimmten Hilfestellungen zu üben.Diese empirische Arbeit erhebt, inwiefern das freie Sprechen der Schülerinnen und Schüler durch das Warm-Up 'Question-Time' im Unterricht gefördert werden kann.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 24 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Bachelor Thesis from the year 2005 in the subject Gender Studies, grade: A, The University of Chicago, language: English, abstract: Was Barbie, as feminists said, poisonous for young girls' self-image, did she represent the fact that a woman had choices as Handler remarked, or was she - as conservatives insisted - simply good childhood fun Barbie may not have prompted a national crisis in female self-esteem, but she was not an innocent toy that carried no meaning either. One thing is certain, the Barbie Doll was definitely a new concept, a new doll, and a new definition of femininity that continues to permeate our culture 50+ years after she was born.The very same year that the Barbie Doll made her debut at the American Toy Convention in New York in the 50s, her creator and the co-founder of Mattel, Ruth Handler, told reporters: 'If I had to stay at home, I would be the most dreadful, mixed-up, unhappy woman in the world.' Ruth Handler was expressing what many white American women in the fifties felt but did not say: that they were unhappy with the cult of domesticity into which they had been cast, and yet we're unable to publicly oppose it. When approached by feminists at the time who complained about the impact the new Barbie Doll would have on the self-image of girls across America, Ruth Handler defended her creation: 'Barbie always represented the fact that a woman had choices.' But did she Many affirm that Barbie actually took choices away rather than allot them by encouraging feminine value to be placed on beauty rather than intellect in social and economic success. Women were already being encouraged by their culture in the fifties to look their best for men, and Barbie only seemed to confirm the importance of achieving these physical standards. In fact, critics worried that this doll would simply reinforce pre-existing norms about femininity by linking the success of a woman to her physical appearance rather than to the development of her other qualities. 44 pp. Englisch.

Particular emphasis will be placed on the 4-day workweek, which will be examined in detail. To address the research question 'How do employees experience the 4-day workweek ', a qualitative investigation will be conducted through an interview. The essential content of the interview will be extracted and abstracted.In recent years, headlines like these have gained increasing attention. Many employees express a desire to transition from a traditional Monday-to-Friday workweek to a four-day workweek. The modern working world is characterized by constant changes, ranging from electronic information transmission to video conferences in internationally operating companies.The adoption of rapidly evolving technologies has significantly impacted the working conditions of employees. These developments have a considerable influence on how work-time policies can be shaped in the present and future. The increasing flexibility demanded by restructuring and redesigning processes is further amplified by demographic changes and a decline in the working-age population. Moreover, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, work arrangements such as home office or digital communication have come into focus in the realm of work design.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 44 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2022 in the subject Economics - Industrial Economics, grade: 1,0, Fresenius University of Applied Sciences Hamburg, language: English, abstract: What impact will blockchain technology have on the energy industry in Germany For some years now, blockchain technology has been increasingly in the focus of the media, companies and even countries. The potential of this new technology is still largely unknown. Nevertheless, possible applications for society and industry can already be found today. Cryptocurrencies can be traded anonymously worldwide, independent of states, banks or other institutions. That is why they are increasingly in the focus of politics and under strong criticism. However, blockchains can not only be used to exchange digital currencies, but also to design new digital use cases that could play an important role, especially in the age of digitalization.These potentially faster, autonomous and decentralized applications are secured by cryptographic keys. Companies, as well as the general public, can benefit from the properties of the blockchain. The data on the blockchain is immutable and open to inspection. Therefore, they provide a high level of security and trust in the digital world that did not exist before.The new technology is influencing many areas of the economy, including the energy industry in Germany. Germany and many European countries are currently in the midst of the energy transition. Renewable energy sources are an important part of this. Nuclear and coal-fired power plants are being dismantled and wind and solar farms are being built. In addition, more and more private households are producing their own energy. This is changing the energy supply from a centralized to a decentralized grid. 24 pp. Englisch.
