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.

What is impulse dependence?
Impulse dependence refers to the reliance on impulsive actions or decisions to fulfill one's needs or desires. It is the tendency to act on immediate impulses without considering the long-term consequences. People who are impulse dependent may struggle with self-control and may have difficulty resisting temptations. This can lead to impulsive behaviors such as overspending, overeating, or engaging in risky activities.
-
What are impulse centers?
Impulse centers are regions in the brain that are responsible for controlling impulsive behaviors and decision-making. These centers help regulate our responses to immediate stimuli and impulses, allowing us to make more reasoned and thoughtful choices. The prefrontal cortex is a key impulse center in the brain, as it plays a crucial role in inhibiting impulsive behaviors and promoting self-control. Dysfunction in impulse centers can lead to impulsivity, poor decision-making, and difficulties in self-regulation.

Is an impulse presentation improvised?
An impulse presentation can be improvised, but it doesn't have to be. An impulse presentation is one that is driven by a sudden urge or feeling, and it can be delivered spontaneously or with some level of preparation. Improvisation involves creating and delivering content on the spot, without prior planning, while a prepared impulse presentation may involve some level of forethought or outline. Ultimately, whether an impulse presentation is improvised or not depends on the individual's approach and the specific circumstances.

What is a criminal impulse?
A criminal impulse refers to the urge or desire to engage in illegal or harmful behavior. It is often driven by emotions such as anger, greed, or a lack of empathy for others. Individuals experiencing a criminal impulse may act impulsively without considering the consequences of their actions, leading to criminal behavior. It is important for individuals to recognize and address these impulses through self-awareness, impulse control, and seeking help if needed to prevent engaging in criminal activities.

How fast is an impulse?
An impulse travels at a very fast speed through the nervous system. In myelinated neurons, impulses can travel at speeds of up to 120 meters per second (432 kilometers per hour). This rapid transmission allows for quick communication between different parts of the body and enables swift responses to stimuli.

What is an impulse current?
An impulse current is a sudden and short-lived surge of electrical current that occurs in a very brief period of time, typically in the order of milliseconds. It can be caused by lightning strikes, switching operations in electrical systems, or other sudden disturbances in the power grid. Impulse currents can cause damage to electrical equipment and can also pose a risk to personnel working with or near electrical systems. Therefore, it is important to have protective measures in place to mitigate the effects of impulse currents.

What does the impulse indicate?
The impulse indicates the change in momentum of an object. It is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction. The impulse experienced by an object is equal to the force applied to it multiplied by the time over which the force is applied. In practical terms, the impulse experienced by an object can be used to determine the force required to change its momentum, such as in a collision or when applying a force over a period of time.

What is a rocket impulse?
A rocket impulse is the change in momentum that a rocket experiences as a result of the force exerted by the expulsion of its exhaust gases. It is a measure of the rocket's ability to accelerate and is equal to the force exerted by the rocket engine multiplied by the time over which the force is exerted. In simpler terms, it is the push that the rocket engine gives to the rocket to propel it forward.
