Abstract:
Diese Dissertation untersucht die Verwendung von Performance-Informationen („Kennzahlen“) durch Führungskräfte in der öffentlichen Verwaltung. Unter „Verwendung“ wird dabei die zweckorientierte Nutzung der Daten verstanden, um zu steuern, zu lernen und öffentliche Leistungen zu verbessern. Die zentrale Frage der Arbeit lautet: Wie können Unterschiede bei der Verwendung von Performance-Informationen erklärt werden? Um diese Frage zu beantworten, wird die bereits existierende Literatur strukturiert ausgewertet. Forschungslücken werden aufgezeigt und eigene Ansätze vorgestellt, wie diese geschlos

A detailed study was undertaken of both the individual and combined effects of pH, temperature and flow rate on the retention volumes of underivatised amino acids. The relative merits of 3-dimensional S-window diagrams to locate the optimum conditions for the separation of amino acids on a stationary phase comprising 5μ ODS has been successfully performed. The enthalpies of retention of transfer from stationary phase to mobile phase for the amino acids have been measured from the chromatographic data.

Abstract:
The thesis is concerned with one of the building blocks of the classical theory of international trade, known as the Heckscher-Ohlin (H-O) model. It consists of two parts -- in the first one, the model is briefly introduced and related theorems - theoretical extensions of the model - are presented. This introduction is then followed by a discussion on the empirical performance of the model. In the second part, the factor price equalization theorem, closely related to the original H-O model, is both theoretically and empirically analysed.

Abstract:
This thesis establishes a new reading of Adorno’s theory of truth. I argue that Adorno posits truth as being mutually constituted by dialectical philosophical texts, and the agent’s cognitive engagement and ‘performance’ of these texts. This reading is founded on an interpretation of Adorno as a transcendental philosopher, who grounds the transcendental necessity of concepts in the requirements of self-preservation. The agent’s performative interaction with the text is held to provide access to truth by virtue of interfering with the conceptual mediation of the agent’s experience. I go on to a

Intermediality, understood here as the impact of analogue and digital technologies in theatrical performance, establishes complex relationships between physical and virtual spaces, structures that create a rich polyphony of multiple temporal orchestrations, and narratives that present a multiplicity of performative arrangements.
