Shortlisted for the Deutscher Memorial Prize 2023 This book presents an encompassing, detailed and thorough overview and reconstruction of Lefebvre's theory of space and of the urban. Henri Lefebvre belongs to the generation of the great French intellectuals and philosophers, together with his contemporaries Michel Foucault and Jean-Paul Sartre. His theory has experienced a remarkable revival over the last two decades, and is discussed and applied today in many disciplines in humanities and social sciences, particularly in urban studies, geography, urban sociology, urban anthropology, architecture and planning. Lefebvre, together with David Harvey, is one of the leading and most read theoreticians in these fields. This book explains in an accessible way the theoretical and epistemological context of this work in French philosophy and in the German dialectic (Hegel, Marx, and Nietzsche), and reconstructs in detail the historical development of its different elements. It also gives an overview on the receptions of Lefebvre and discusses a wide range of applications of this theory in many research fields, such as urban and regional development, urbanization, urbanity, social space, and everyday life.

Designing a new national map of urban topography for Switzerland. The classic volume Switzerland. An Urban Portrait was published in three languages by Birkhäuser Verlag in 2005 and has lost none of its relevance to this day. The result of several years of research by ETH Studio Basel, this three-volume work contains explorations of the multiple layers and facets of Swiss towns and cities by renowned architects Roger Diener, Jacques Herzog, Marcel Meili, Pierre de Meuron, and Christian Schmid, as well as possible and/or desirable scenarios for the future development of country’s main cities and its Alpine region. It also includes maps of urban topography. Leading Swiss architects examine Switzerland’s built environment An important contribution to the discussion of how Switzerland might look in the future Visionary urban topographies in a globalized world

The USUM - Urban Systems and Urban Models research project is a study of the contemporary city and urban space which adopts a systemic perspective for approaching the urban complexity and the nature of urban/public space in the era of globalization.

When Henri Lefebvre published The Urban Revolution in 1970, he sketched a research itinerary on the emerging tendency towards planetary urbanization. Today, when this tendency has become reality, Lefebvre’s ideas on everyday life, production of space, rhythmanalysis and the right to the city are indispensable for the understanding of urbanization processes at every scale of social practice. This volume is the first to develop Lefebvre’s concepts in social research and architecture by focusing on urban conjunctures in Barcelona, Belgrade, Berlin, Budapest, Copenhagen, Dhaka, Hong Kong, London, New Orleans, Nowa Huta, Paris, Toronto, São Paulo, Sarajevo, as well as in Mexico and Switzerland. With contributions by historians and theorists of architecture and urbanism, geographers, sociologists, political and cultural scientists, Urban Revolution Now reveals the multiplicity of processes of urbanization and the variety of their patterns and actors around the globe.

Masterarbeit aus dem Jahr 2020 im Fachbereich Mathematik - Sonstiges, Note: 1,3, Universität Ulm, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Phishing is a form of identity theft that combines social engineering techniques and sophisticated attack vectors to fraudulently gain confidential information of unsuspecting consumers. To prevent successful phishing attacks, there are several approaches to detect and block phishing emails. In this work, we apply a number of modern transformer based machine learning methods for phishing email detection. Typically, phishing messages imitate trustworthy sources and request information via some form of electronic communication. The most frequent attack route is via email where phishers often try to persuade the email recipients to perform an action. This action may involve revealing confidential information (e.g. passwords) or inadvertently providing access to their computers or networks (e.g. through the installation of malicious software).

Die Theorie der Produktion des Raumes von Henri Lefebvre hat in den letzten Jahren in den Sozialwissenschaften einen herausragenden Stellenwert gewonnen. Ihre Bedeutung liegt insbesondere darin, dass sie die Kategorien der �Stadt� und des �Raumes� in eine uebergreifende raum-zeitliche Theorie gesellschaftlicher Praxis integriert. Die bisherige Rezeption dieser Theorie blieb jedoch fragmentarisch und inkonsistent, und sie hat die zentralen erkenntnistheoretischen Pr�missen Lefebvres nicht beruecksichtigt. Zum ersten Mal wird hier eine systematische wissenschaftstheoretische Rekonstruktion dieser Theorie in ihrem zeitgeschichtlichen und epistemologischen Kontext pr�sentiert. Im Sinne einer kritischen Aneignung und Weiterentwicklung dieser Theorie entwirft das Buch die Grundlinien eines allgemeinen analytischen Rahmens zur Interpretation raum-zeitlicher Ph�nomene und Prozesse. .

Dieses Büchlein ist ein Auszug aus dem Werk "Die Schmid von Uri" und befasst sich mit der historisch nachweisbaren Person des Schweizer Nationalhelden Wilhelm Tell. Der Autor, Spross einer alten Urner Familie, hat unzählige Fakten und Hinweise zusammengetragen, die nur einen Schluss zulassen: Tell hat gelebt. Auch wenn dies nicht ins Konzept unserer heutigen Historiker passt. Schmid stellt zudem die Schweizer Befreiungssage in einen Bezug zur heutigen Zeit - zur EU, zur Zentralisierung, Globalisierung und all den Gefahren, die für einen einzelnen Staat daraus erwachsen können. Parallelen zur Zeit vor 700 Jahren in der alten Eidgenossenschaft drängen sich auf, als die Waldstätte sich erfolgreich dagegen wehrte, dass fremde Richter über sie Recht sprechen wollten. In diesem Sinne waren die Eidgenossen frei, obwohl eingebunden ins Reich (Heilige Römische Reich deutscher Nation). Ein Staat kann nur selbstbewusst sein, wenn er eigenständig bestimmen kann. Aber nicht, wenn er von einer Zentrale aus an die Kandare genommen wird.
