Digital Holocaust Memory, Education and Research
This book explores the diverse range of practical and theoretical challenges and possibilities that digital technologies and platforms pose for Holocaust memory, education and research.From social media to virtual reality, 360-degree imaging to machine learning, there can be no doubt that digital media penetrate practice in these fields.As the Holocaust moves beyond living memory towards solely mediated memory, it is imperative that we pay critical attention to the way digital technologies are shaping public memory and education and research.Bringing together the voices of heritage and educational professionals, and academics from the arts and humanities and the social sciences, this interdisciplinary collection explores the practicalities of creating digital Holocaust projects, the educational value of such initiatives, and considers the extent to which digital technologies change the way we remember, learn about and research the Holocaust, thinking through issues such as ethics, embodiment, agency, community, and immersion.At its core, this volume interrogates the extent to which digital interventions in these fields mark an epochal shift in Holocaust memory, education and research, or whether they continue to be shaped by long-standing debates and guidelines developed in the broadcast era.

Gender Differences in Technology and Innovation Management : Insights from Experimental Research
Even though the number of working women has steadily increased over the last few years, women are still significantly under-represented in STEM activities (i.e. mathematics, informatics, science and technology). In order to eliminate this under-representation, numerous education policies and corporate initiatives, particularly in the recent past, have been aimed at increasing women's enthusiasm for STEM activities and professions.According to the latest surveys, however, it is clear that these efforts have not yet led to the desired success.Compared to their male counterparts, women continue to do fewer STEM activities. One possible reason for this is that relatively little is yet known about the concrete impact of the above education policies on working with innovation and technology: What are the gender differences between women and men?Is it enough to recognize these differences, or should these differences ideally not only be recognized, but also treated appropriately or even encouraged? This anthology deals with current topics in technology and innovation management against the background of these and other gender-relevant aspects.Empirical analyses and experiments in collaboration with companies from various sectors provide a sound scientific basis on which new results and findings are presented: How do women and men deal with creativity and competition?How are technologies applied and how can differences in access to technology be deduced? Answers to these and other questions help decision-makers in politics and business to proactively use the differences between women and men to motivate women to work in the STEM field and to strengthen them by acknowledging existing differences.

Why does adaptive radiation occur through allopatric speciation processes?
Adaptive radiation occurs through allopatric speciation processes because when a population becomes geographically isolated, different environmental conditions and selective pressures can lead to the evolution of new traits and adaptations. This can result in the rapid diversification of species as they adapt to their specific habitats and niches. Over time, this can lead to the emergence of multiple new species with distinct characteristics, allowing them to occupy different ecological roles and reduce competition among them.
-
What is the difference between allopatric and sympatric speciation?
Allopatric speciation occurs when a population is separated by a physical barrier, such as a river or mountain range, leading to the evolution of two separate species. In contrast, sympatric speciation occurs when a new species evolves within the same geographic area as its parent species, without any physical barriers. Sympatric speciation often involves factors such as ecological, behavioral, or genetic differences driving the formation of a new species within the same habitat.
-
Does allopatric speciation always occur only through geographic isolation?
No, allopatric speciation does not always occur only through geographic isolation. While geographic isolation is a common mechanism for allopatric speciation, it is not the only way that populations can become reproductively isolated. Other factors such as ecological or behavioral differences can also lead to reproductive isolation and ultimately speciation, even in the absence of physical barriers. For example, if two populations of a species inhabit different ecological niches and do not interbreed due to differences in their behaviors or mating preferences, they can still undergo allopatric speciation without being geographically isolated.

What is the difference between allopatric speciation and adaptive radiation?
Allopatric speciation occurs when a population is geographically isolated from one another, leading to genetic divergence and the formation of new species. This isolation can be caused by physical barriers such as mountains or bodies of water. On the other hand, adaptive radiation is the rapid diversification of a single ancestral species into multiple new species, often due to the colonization of new environments or the exploitation of new ecological niches. While allopatric speciation is driven by geographic isolation, adaptive radiation is driven by ecological opportunity and the exploitation of diverse habitats.

What is the difference between adaptive radiation and allopatric speciation?
Adaptive radiation is a process in which a single ancestral species diversifies into a variety of different species, each adapted to a specific ecological niche. This can occur when a new environment or ecological opportunity becomes available, leading to the rapid evolution of multiple new species. Allopatric speciation, on the other hand, occurs when a population is divided into separate, geographically isolated subpopulations, leading to the evolution of distinct species due to genetic drift, natural selection, and other evolutionary forces acting independently in each population. While adaptive radiation can occur in allopatric speciation, it can also occur in other speciation processes such as sympatric speciation.

How does allopatric speciation occur between the silver gull and the herring gull?
Allopatric speciation occurs between the silver gull and the herring gull when a physical barrier, such as a body of water, separates the two populations. This isolation prevents the two populations from interbreeding and exchanging genetic material. Over time, the isolated populations accumulate genetic differences through mutation, genetic drift, and natural selection, leading to the formation of distinct species. As a result, the silver gull and the herring gull evolve separately and become reproductively isolated from each other, ultimately leading to the formation of two distinct species.

How has the species diversity in cichlids in Lake Tanganyika arisen through allopatric speciation?
The species diversity in cichlids in Lake Tanganyika has arisen through allopatric speciation, which occurs when a population is geographically isolated and evolves separately from the original population. In the case of Lake Tanganyika, the lake's complex and varied habitat has led to the formation of different isolated populations of cichlids. Over time, these isolated populations have evolved unique traits and characteristics, leading to the formation of new species. The geographical isolation and the diverse ecological niches within the lake have allowed for the rapid diversification of cichlids through allopatric speciation.

How does allopatric speciation occur between the herring gull and the lesser black-backed gull?
Allopatric speciation between the herring gull and the lesser black-backed gull occurs when a physical barrier, such as a body of water, separates the two populations. This isolation prevents gene flow between the two groups, leading to genetic divergence over time. As each population adapts to its specific environment and evolves independently, they accumulate enough genetic differences to become distinct species. Eventually, if the populations come back into contact, they may be reproductively isolated due to their genetic differences, completing the speciation process.
