Cable-driven parallel robots are a new kind of lightweight manipulators with excellent scalability in terms of size, payload, and dynamics capacities. For the first time, a comprehensive compendium is presented of the field of cable-driven parallel robots. A thorough theory of cable robots is setup leading the reader from first principles to the latest results in research. The main topics covered in the book are classification, terminology, and fields of application for cable-driven parallel robots. The geometric foundation of the standard cable model is introduced followed by statics, force distribution, and stiffness. Inverse and forward kinematics are addressed by elaborating efficient algorithms. Furthermore, the workspace is introduced and different algorithms are detailed. The book contains the dynamic equations as well as simulation models with applicable parameters. Advanced cable models are described taking into account pulleys, elastic cables, and sagging cables.For practitioner, a descriptive design method is stated including methodology, parameter synthesis, construction design, component selection, and calibration. Rich examples are presented by means of simulation results from sample robots as well as experimental validation on reference demonstrators. The book contains a representative overview of reference demonstrator system. Tables with physical parameters for geometry, cable properties, and robot parameterizations support case studies and are valuable references for building custom cable robots.For scientist, the book provides the starting point to address new scientific challenges as open problems are named and a commented review of the literature on cable robot with more than 500 references are given.

This open access book comparatively analyses intergenerational social mobility in immigrant families in Europe. It is based on qualitative in-depth research into several hundred biographies and professional trajectories of young people with an immigrant working-class background, who made it into high-prestige professions. The biographies were collected and analysed by a consortium of researchers in nine European countries from Norway to Spain. Through these analyses, the book explores the possibilities of cross-country comparisons of how trajectories are related to different institutional arrangements at the national and local level. The analysis uncovers the interaction effects between structural/institutional settings and specific individual achievements and family backgrounds, and how these individuals responsed to and navigated successfully through sector-specific pathways into high-skilled professions, such as becoming a lawyer or a teacher. By this, it also explains why thesetrajectories of professional success and upward mobility have been so exceptional in the second generation of working-class origins, and it tells us a lot also about exclusion mechanisms that marked the school and professional careers of children of immigrants who went to school in the 1970s to 2000s in Europe – and still do.

This open access book brings together cutting-edge work on reflexive approaches within migration studies and emphasizes the boundedness and political character of knowledge production. Beyond presenting a state-of-the-art of the problematic aspects of knowledge production in migration studies, this volume is innovative insofar as the contributions all formulate alternatives. They should lead to transform knowledge production in relation to migration and therefore contribute to alter our ways to do research and tackle established power relations. By discussing a diverse range of topical subjects – among others, epistemology, power, ethnocentrism, racism, decoloniality, gender and methodology – this volume is a great resource to students, to junior and senior academics in migration studies and social sciences more general as well as to policy-makers in European countries.

Der jährliche Fluchtbericht zu einem der drängendsten Probleme unserer ZeitFlucht ist eine globale Herausforderung. Schon das 20. Jahrhundert galt als »Jahrhundert der Flüchtlinge«. Anfang des 21. Jahrhunderts ist die Zahl der Schutzsuchenden keineswegs gesunken. Dazu tragen militärische Auseinandersetzungen und bewaffnete Konflikte ebenso bei wie der Zerfall von Staaten und autoritäre politische Systeme, die oppositionelle Handlungen und Nonkonformität im eigenen Land nicht dulden. Auch Klima- und Umweltkatastrophen oder Effekte globaler Ungleichheit werden in politischen, medialen, öffentlichen und wissenschaftlichen Debatten als Hintergründe von Fluchtbewegungen einbezogen. Der jährliche Fluchtbericht bietet fundiertes Wissen zu den weltweiten Fluchtbewegungen und ihren Folgen. Schwerpunkt 2023 ist die Flucht als Folge des Ukraine-Krieges.

Die forschungsbasierte Perspektive auf das Thema FluchtFlucht ist eine globale Herausforderung, über die oft nur verkürzt berichtet wird. Der »Report Globale Flucht« bietet ein Gegengewicht: Über 30 Autorinnen und Autoren aus verschiedenen Wissenschaftsbereichen schreiben hier über Hintergründe, Entwicklungen und Diskurse rund um das Thema Flucht. Der Band stellt damit forschungsbasiertes Wissen bereit und beleuchtet ein Thema, über das oft nur punktuell, einseitig und populistisch berichtet wird.Schwerpunkt des diesjährigen Reports ist das Thema Lager. In diesem Band schreiben unter anderem Albert Scherr über Flüchtlingslager und -politik in Jordanien, Vera Rugova und Tengiz Dalalishvili über die Lage in Armenien und Bergkarabach und Jochen Oltmer über den Umgang mit Flüchtlingen in der Weimarer Republik.Der »Report Globale Flucht« erscheint im Auftrag des Projekts »Flucht- und Flüchtlingsforschung: Vernetzung und Transfer« (FFVT) und wird herausgegeben von Jochen Oltmer, Marcel Berlinghoff, Benjamin Etzold, Christine Lang und Andreas Pott.

Risiken haben Konjunktur. Ob Behorden, Versicherungen, Massenmedien, Stadtentwickler(innen) oder Risikoforscher(innen): Sie alle identifizieren Risiken, warnen vor ihnen und stellen Sicherheiten in Aussicht oder in Frage. Dazu gehort der Hinweis, dass diese ungleich verteilt sind. Zwecks Risikomanagements werden sie verortet und kartiert, sichere von unsicheren Raumen unterschieden.Der Band pladiert fur einen Wechsel des ublichen Beobachtungsmodus: Statt Risiken festzustellen und zu verraumlichen, geht es qua Beobachtung 2. Ordnung um die Praktiken der Konstruktion: Wie und unter welchen Bedingungen werden Risiken konstruiert? Welche Folgen hat ihre Verortung?Im gemeinsamen Rekurs auf die Beobachtungstheorie vereint der Band human- und physiogeographische Perspektiven. Mit seinen Beitragen demonstriert er die Fruchtbarkeit dieses Ansatzes fur die interdisziplinare Risikoforschung. Als working group book lotet er zugleich die Potenziale und Grenzen einer (radikal) konstruktivistischen Perspektive aus.
