Living to order - ordered to live: experience and identity among Presentation Sisters in twentieth century Victoria, Australia
Creators: name: Mooney, Jennifer A.
Publisher: name: La Trobe
Year: 2023

description: Abstract: Leaving Ireland forever, the Sisters of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary Institute handed over their lives to provide a Catholic education for Victorian children. This study reveals their never-before disclosed stories of past lives of austerity and acceptance. As individuals and as part of a community, these women managed the many constraints Catholic religious life expected of them, successfully carrying out ‘God’s Job' in their own particular way. A diverse body of literature drawn from sociology, philosophy, historical and religious studies informs my analysis and supports qualitative interview material. The Sisters speak with pride regarding their life-efforts and with resignation concerning the difficulties they faced. First-hand accounts from twenty-four Presentation Sisters, five former members of the Institute, as well as several people interested in the Institute, provide understanding of the nature of religious life, and record the different ideals which motivated the Sisters in their care for children and the socially disadvantaged. Most importantly, like historical accounts, women’s voices tell of the personal struggles of living ‘to order. 'As members of the Presentation Institute, and by adjusting to the changing demands of church, state and community, the Sisters prove they retained a sense of self. This thesis examines the varied experiences of ‘being chosen' and answering a religious vocation. Individuality survived as women negotiated their approaches to ‘the calling' despite Novitiate training tailoring their very selves to work for God. Some Sisters were more forthright than others, some more daring, while a great many succumbed to pressures in their life of acceptance. The work they achieved by building and running Victorian schools, while handling huge class numbers, was often under-estimated. This thesis also explores how, under Vatican II’s insistence, the Sisters grasped every opportunity to emerge from restricted lives to re-position themselves in society. The interplay of individual women gave the Sisters themselves power, as well as the Institute as an organisation. This study contributes to religious and historical discourse regarding women considered ‘chosen, 'professional women, and women ‘apart, 'who grew from the expectation of a humble sense of self to confident, outspoken people able to tackle different missions: in effect, women of unsung heroism.

description: Pflegekräfte zurückgewinnen –Arbeitsbedingungen und Pflegequalität verbessern5ZusammenfassungDie Arbeitsbelastung im Bereich der Pflege ist hoch und entsprechend sind viele Pflegekräfte nicht mehr bereit, Vollzeit zu arbeiten,und viele von ihnen steigen aus der Pflege aus. Eine bedarfsorientierte Personalbemessung, die eine Pflege nach den eigenen hohen fachlichen Ansprüchen erlaubt und die Arbeitsbelastung reduziert, könnte Abhilfe schaffen. Doch wird häufig entgegnet, es gebe nicht genügend Fachkräfte, um derartige Regelungen umzusetzen. Gleichzeitig identifizieren sich Pflegekräfte in der Regel stark mit ihrem Beruf und messen ihrer Arbeit eine wichtige gesellschaftliche Bedeutung zu. Sowohl Teilzeit-als auch Ausstiegserwägungen werden von den vorgefundenen Arbeitsbedingungen beeinflusst.Die vorliegende Studie stellt die Frage, unter welchen Bedingungen ausgestiegene Pflegekräfte in ihren Beruf zurückkehren und Teilzeitkräfte ihre Stunden erhöhenwürden. Um diese Frage zu beantworten, wurden 1.032Pflegekräfte, größtenteils aus Bremen und dem Bremer Umland, befragt. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die Bereitschaft zum Wiedereinstieg beziehungsweisezur Stundenerhöhung unter den befragten Pflegekräften groß ist, wenn genügend Zeit für eine qualitativ hochwertige Pflege und menschliche Zuwendung zur Verfügung steht, Vorgesetzte ihnen Wertschätzung und Sensibilität für ihre Belastungen entgegenbringen und ihre Arbeit durch eine höhere Bezahlung anerkannt wird.
Layer Formation in Sedimentary Fingering Convection

description: When particles settle through a stable temperature or salinity gradient they can drive an instability known as sedimentary fingering convection. This phenomenon is thought to occur beneath sediment-rich river plumes in lakes and oceans, in the context of marine snow where decaying organic materials serve as the suspended particles, or in the atmosphere in the presence of aerosols or volcanic ash. Laboratory experiments of Houk and Green (1973) and Green (1987) have shown sedimentary fingering convection to be similar to the more commonly known thermohaline fingering convection in many ways. Here, we study the phenomenon using 3D direct numerical simulations. We find evidence for layer formation in sedimentary fingering convection in regions of parameter space where it does not occur for non-sedimentary systems. This is due to two complementary effects. Sedimentation affects the turbulent fluxes and broadens the region of parameter space unstable to the $γ$-instability (Radko 2003) to include systems at larger density ratios. It also gives rise to a new layering instability that exists in $γ-$stable regimes. The former is likely quite ubiquitous in geophysical systems for sufficiently large settling velocities, while the latter probably grows too slowly to be relevant, at least in the context of sediments in water.

description: A Pedagogy of Place offers an alternative vision for outdoor education practice. This timely book calls into question some of the underlying assumptions and ‘truths’ about outdoor education, putting forward alternatives to current practice that are responsive to local conditions and cultural traditions. In this renewal of outdoor education philosophy and practice, the emphasis is upon responding to, and empathising with, the outdoors as particular places, rich in local meaning and significance. Current outdoor education theory and practice is influenced by cultural ideas about risk and adventure, and by psychological theories of personal and social development. However, in recent decades the professional discourse of outdoor education has made a noticeable shift to include education for the ‘environment’ and ‘nature’. This has resulted in a mismatch between theory and practice: traditional notions of proving oneself ‘against’ the challenges of the outdoors are antithetical to the development of an empathetic relationship with outdoor places, which growing concern with today’s environment demands. This book is the first of its kind to articulate a renewal of philosophy and practice for outdoor education that is in keeping with the educational needs of today’s young people as they grapple with considerable social and ecological changes in a rapidly changing world. The authors draw extensively on international, national and local literature and provide compelling case studies drawn from the Australian and New Zealand contexts.

description: An important building block in all current asymptotically fast algorithms for matrix multiplication are tensors with low border rank, that is, tensors whose border rank is equal or very close to their size. To find new asymptotically fast algorithms for matrix multiplication, it seems to be important to understand those tensors whose border rank is as small as possible, so called tensors of minimal border rank. We investigate the connection between degenerations of associative algebras and degenerations of their structure tensors in the sense of Strassen. It allows us to describe an open subset of $n \times n \times n$ tensors of minimal border rank in terms of smoothability of commutative algebras. We describe the smoothable algebra associated to the Coppersmith-Winograd tensor and prove a lower bound for the border rank of the tensor used in the "easy construction" of Coppersmith and Winograd.

description: Highly controlled coating of biomimetic polydopamine (PDA) was achieved on titanium dioxide nanotubes (TiO2 NTs) by exposing TiO2 NT arrays to a slightly alkaline dopamine solution. The thin films act as photonic sensitizers (enhancing photocurrents and photodegradation) in the visible light range. The PDA coatings can furthermore be used as a platform for decorating the TiO2 NTs with different co-catalysts and metal nanoparticles (NPs).

description: A master equation approach is applied to a reversible and conservative cellular automata model (Q2R). The Q2R model is a dynamical variation of the Ising model for ferromagnetism that possesses quite a rich and complex dynamics. The configurational space is composed by a huge number of cycles with exponentially long periods. Following Nicolis and Nicolis [Phys. Rev. A 38, 427-433 (1988)], a coarse-graining approach is applied to the time series of the total magnetization leading to a master equation that governs the macroscopic irreversible dynamics of the Q2R automata. The methodology is replicated for various lattice sizes. In the case of small systems, it is shown that the master equation leads to a tractable probability transfer matrix of moderate size which provides a master equation for a coarse-grained probability distribution. The method is validated and some explicit examples are discussed.

description: We introduce a new quantity to petrology, the Shannon entropy, as a tool for quantifying mixing as well as the rate of production of hybrid compositions in the mixing system. The Shannon entropy approach is applied to time series numerical simulations and high-temperature experiments performed with natural melts. We note that in both cases the Shannon entropy increases linearly during the initial stages of mixing and then saturates toward constant values. Furthermore, chemical elements with different mobilities display different rates of increase of the Shannon entropy. This indicates that the hybrid composition for the different elements is attained at different times generating a wide range of spatio-compositional domains which further increase the apparent complexity of the mixing process. Results from the application of the Shannon entropy analysis are compared with the concept of Relaxation of Concentration Variance (RCV), a measure recently introduced in petrology to quantify chemical exchanges during magma mixing. We derive a linear expression relating the change of concentration variance during mixing and the Shannon entropy. We show that the combined use of Shannon entropy and RCV provides the most complete information about the space and time complexity of magma mixing. As a consequence, detailed information about this fundamental petrogenetic and volcanic process can be gathered. In particular, the Shannon entropy can be used as complement to the RCV method to quantify the mobility of chemical elements in magma mixing systems, to obtain information about the rate of production of compositional heterogeneities, and to derive empirical relationships linking the rate of chemical exchanges between interacting magmas and mixing time.

description: We test one-zone synchrotron self-Compton (SSC) models with high-quality multiwavelength spectral energy distribution (SED) data of Mrk 421. We use Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) technique to fit twelve day-scale SEDs of Mrk 421 with one-zone SSC models. Three types of electron energy distribution (EED), a log-parabola (LP) EED, a power-law log-parabola (PLLP) EED and a broken power-law (BPL) EED, are assumed in fits. We find that the one-zone SSC model with the PLLP EED provides successful fits to all the twelve SEDs. However, the one-zone SSC model with the LP and BPL EEDs fail to provide acceptable fits to the highest energy X-ray data or GeV data in several states. We therefore conclude that the one-zone SSC model works well in explaining the SEDs of Mrk 421, and the PLLP EED is preferred over the LP and BPL EEDs for Mrk 421 during the flare in March 2010. We derive magnetic field $B'\sim0.01$\ G, Doppler factor $δ_{\rm D}\sim$30--50, and the curvature parameter of EED $r\sim1$--$10$ in the model with the PLLP EED. The evolutions of model parameters are explored. The physical implications of our results are discussed.

description: Im vorliegenden Arbeitspapier werden zwei Fragen diskutiert: Erstens, welche Schulab-schlüsse gibt es in Deutschland? Zweitens, wie ließe sich die föderale Vielfalt der Schulab-schlüsse transparenter und konsistenter benennen und darstellen? Die Frage nach der Zahl der Schulabschlüsse in Deutschland lässt sich nicht einfach beant-worten. Vier Abschlussstufen lassen sich in einer Graphik der Kultusministerkonferenz (KMK) identifizieren, die aber oft auf Länderebene noch weiter differenziert sind, so dass es z.T. sieben und mehr gestaffelte Abschlüsse gibt, für die noch dazu eine Vielzahl unterschiedli-cher Benennungen verwendet werden. Um eine transparentere Darstellung zu erreichen, haben wir zunächst anhand eines Dia-gramms der KMK unterschiedliche Benennungsprinzipien für Schulabschlüsse herausgearbei-tet und uns für eine einheitliche Benennung nach den jeweils höchsten anschließenden Bil-dungsmöglichkeiten entschieden: Berufsbildungsreife, Fachbildungsreife, Fachhochschulreife und allgemeine Hochschulreife. Die derzeitigen Benennungen werden den Stufen zugeordnet und in ein vereinfachtes Diagramm des Schulsystems eingezeichnet. Mit diesen Darstellun-gen streben wir an, die Kommunikation über das Bildungssystem z.B. für zugezogene Eltern und im internationalen Vergleich zu erleichtern.

description: Ultrafast electron dynamics in solids under strong optical fields has recently found particular attention. In dielectrics and semiconductors, various light-field-driven effects have been explored, such as high-harmonic generation, sub-optical-cycle interband population transfer and nonperturbative increase of transient polarizability. In contrast, much less is known about field-driven electron dynamics in metals because charge carriers screen an external electric field in ordinary metals. Here we show that atomically thin monolayer Graphene offers unique opportunities to study light-field-driven processes in a metal. With a comparably modest field strength of up to 0.3 V/Å, we drive combined interband and intraband electron dynamics, leading to a light-field-waveform controlled residual conduction current after the laser pulse is gone. We identify the underlying pivotal physical mechanism as electron quantum-path interference taking place on the 1-femtosecond ($10^{-15}$ second) timescale. The process can be categorized as Landau-Zener-Stückelberg interferometry. These fully coherent electron dynamics in graphene take place on a hitherto unexplored timescale faster than electron-electron scattering (tens of femtoseconds) and electron-phonon scattering (hundreds of femtoseconds). These results broaden the scope of light-field control of electrons in solids to an entirely new and eminently important material class -- metals -- promising wide ramifications for band structure tomography and light-field-driven electronics.

Das beforschte Gelände wurde (und wird noch immer) von unterschiedlichen Nutzer*innen-Gruppen auf unterschiedliche Weise als Erholungsgebiet genutzt. Zwischen diesen unterschiedlichen Nutzer*innen-Gruppen besteht eine Konkurrenz, die Konfliktpotenzial in sich trägt. Das Ortsamt wünschte sich eine Bestandsaufnahme der Nutzer*innen-Gruppen, deren Interessen und Bedarfe, sowie ein mögliches Belastungspotenzial des Umfeldes, um diese dem Ortsbeirat für die Entscheidungsfindung zur weiteren Nutzung des Geländes im Interesse der Gemeinschaft zur Verfügung zu stellen. Als methodisches Vorgehen dieser Forschungsarbeit wurde ein Mixed-Methods Ansatz gewählt. Die Feldforschungsstudie zeichnet sich durch einen stark explorativen Charakter, mit einer leichten Ausprägung Richtung Mediation, aus. Qualitative und quantitative Methoden wurden mit offen teilnehmenden, sowie nicht teilnehmenden Beobachtungen nach Schaffer (2014) kombiniert. Um dem mediativen Anteil der Studie Rechnung zu tragen, wurde das quantitative Erhebungsinstrument auf Grundlage der qualitativen Methoden entwickelt. Darüber hinaus ist die Studie als ein partizipatorischer Stadtentwicklungsprozess zu begreifen (Deinet et. al. 2009). Der Forschungszeitraum war im Sommer 2019.

description: Subjecting a nanohelix to a transverse electric field gives rise to superlattice behavior with tunable electronic properties. We theoretically investigate such a system and find Bloch oscillations and negative differential conductance when a longitudinal electric field (along the nanohelix axis) is also applied. Furthermore, we study dipole transitions across the transverse-electric-field-induced energy gap, which can be tuned to the eulogized terahertz frequency range by experimentally attainable external fields. We also reveal a photogalvanic effect by shining circularly polarized light onto our helical quantum wire.

description: While innovations have been acknowledged as a key factor for economic growth, it appears that they are unique features of central actors. Recently, especially the outstanding opportunities arising from rather radical innovations have been highlighted. These kinds of innovations combine knowledge pieces that have not been combined before and consequently create something radically new. While the influence of firms’ network position on innovativeness in general has already been investigated, it remains to be researched in the context of radical innovations. We address this research gap by empirically investigating the influence of firms’ network position on the emergence and diffusion patterns of radical innovations. By analysing a unique dataset evidence is found that central firms are essential drivers of the emergence and diffusion of radical innovations. However, the results also indicate that under certain conditions (e.g. high knowledge diversity) also peripheral firms can contribute to the emergence of radical innovations.

description: Im Internet finden sich Männer zusammen, die in Foren schreiben, dass ihnen ihr vermeintliches Grundrecht auf Sex und Beziehungen von Frauen verwehrt wird. Sie nennen sich „Incels“ – unfreiwillig im Zölibat Lebende. Ihr misogynes Weltbild verbleibt jedoch nicht online: Akteure dieser frauenhassenden Online-Subkultur haben in den letzten Jahren etliche Anschläge verübt. Solche Attentäter werden in den Foren gefeiert wie Helden. Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht die Ideologie der Incels, die Anschlussfähigkeit an diese Szene, sowie Radikalisierungsprozesse. Auch Überschneidungen mit der rechtsextremen Szene sind von erheblichem Interesse - ebenso der gesellschaftliche Blick auf misogyne Tendenzen. Um die Forschungsfragen zu beantworten, wurde eine qualitative Studie in einem einschlägigen Incelforum durchgeführt und die dortigen Nachrichten analysiert. Zentral sind folgende Ergebnisse festzuhalten: Incels pflegen ein überzeichnetes Bild von Männlichkeit, vermeintlich traditionellen Geschlechterrollen und ein insgesamt hierarchisch-strukturiertes, menschenfeindliches Weltbild. Innerhalb des Forums konnten Verschwörungsideologien dokumentiert werden, die in rechtsextremen Strömungen allgegenwärtig sind. Frauenfeindlichkeit ist strukturell tief verankert und in gewissen Formen noch immer gesellschaftlich akzeptiert.

description: Graphene grown by chemical vapour deposition is transferred on top of flat gold nanoislands and characterized by scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Graphene bubbles are formed with lateral dimensions determined by the size and shape of nanoislands. These graphene bubbles can be squeezed during STM imaging using bias voltages of less than 250 mV and tunnelling currents of 1 nA. Similarly, the graphene suspended over gold nanovoids is deflected 4 - 5 nm by the STM tip when imaging at low bias voltages (U = 30 mV). Nanoindentation measurements performed by AFM show that the squeezing of graphene bubbles occurs at repulsive forces of 20 - 35 nN, and such forces can result in deflections of several nanometres in suspended graphene parts, respectively. Comparing the AFM and STM results, this study reveals that mechanical forces of the order of 10e-8 N occur between the STM tip and graphene under ambient imaging conditions and typical tunnelling parameters.

Mal seit 1991 legen die IG Metall Küste und das Institut Arbeit und Wirtschaft (IAW) der Universität Bremen sowie die Agentur für Struktur- und Personalentwicklung GmbH (AgS) im September 2013 das Ergebnis der alljährlich durchgeführten Schiffbauumfrage vor. Die Betriebsräte der deutschen Werften und der maritimen Zulieferindustrie wurden zu den Arbeitsbedingungen, zur Auftragslage und zu den Perspektiven in ihren Unternehmen befragt. Für den Schiffbau in Deutschland liegen somit Daten aus 22 Jahren zur Entwicklung der Branche vor – ein „Datenschatz“, der nur für sehr wenige andere Industrien in Deutschland existiert.

description: At about 1000 days after the launch of Gaia we present the first Gaia data release, Gaia DR1, consisting of astrometry and photometry for over 1 billion sources brighter than magnitude 20.7. We summarize Gaia DR1 and provide illustrations of the scientific quality of the data, followed by a discussion of the limitations due to the preliminary nature of this release. Gaia DR1 consists of: a primary astrometric data set which contains the positions, parallaxes, and mean proper motions for about 2 million of the brightest stars in common with the Hipparcos and Tycho-2 catalogues and a secondary astrometric data set containing the positions for an additional 1.1 billion sources. The second component is the photometric data set,consisting of mean G-band magnitudes for all sources. The G-band light curves and the characteristics of ~3000 Cepheid and RR Lyrae stars, observed at high cadence around the south ecliptic pole, form the third component. For the primary astrometric data set the typical uncertainty is about 0.3 mas for the positions and parallaxes, and about 1 mas/yr for the proper motions. A systematic component of ~0.3 mas should be added to the parallax uncertainties. For the subset of ~94000 Hipparcos stars in the primary data set, the proper motions are much more precise at about 0.06 mas/yr. For the secondary astrometric data set, the typical uncertainty of the positions is ~10 mas. The median uncertainties on the mean G-band magnitudes range from the mmag level to ~0.03 mag over the magnitude range 5 to 20.7. Gaia DR1 represents a major advance in the mapping of the heavens and the availability of basic stellar data that underpin observational astrophysics. Nevertheless, the very preliminary nature of this first Gaia data release does lead to a number of important limitations to the data quality which should be carefully considered before drawing conclusions from the data.

description: A continuation of the joint work by Vadim Gorin and the author, J. Funct. Anal. 270 (2016), 375-418; arXiv:1504.06832. The extended Gelfand-Tsetlin graph, introduced in that paper, is a novel combinatorial object. Its q-boundary is formed by infinite point configurations on a two-sided q-lattice. The q-boundary carries a continuous family of probability measures that are a q-analogue of the so-called zw-measures, which originated in the problem of harmonic analysis on the infinite-dimensional unitary group. In the present paper, it is proved that certain transition Markov kernels, linked to the extended Gelfand-Tsetlin graph and its q-boundary, possess the Feller property. This property is needed for constructing a model of Markov dynamics on the q-boundary. A connection with the classical B-splines and their q-analogues is discussed. Some results of the paper arXiv:1504.06832 are rederived in another way.

description: The existence of gravitational radiation is a natural prediction of any relativistic description of the gravitational interaction. In this chapter, we focus on gravitational waves, as predicted by Einstein's general theory of relativity. First, we introduce those mathematical concepts that are necessary to properly formulate the physical theory, such as the notions of manifold, vector, tensor, metric, connection and curvature. Second, we motivate, formulate and then discuss Einstein's equation, which relates the geometry of spacetime to its matter content. Gravitational waves are later introduced as solutions of the linearized Einstein equation around flat spacetime. These waves are shown to propagate at the speed of light and to possess two polarization states. Gravitational waves can interact with matter, allowing for their direct detection by means of laser interferometers. Finally, Einstein's quadrupole formulas are derived and used to show that nonspherical compact objects moving at relativistic speeds are powerful gravitational wave sources.

On the relation between non-exponential Scrape Off Layer profiles and the dynamics of filaments

description: A theoretical framework is developed to clarify the relation between the profiles of density and temperature in the Scrape Off Layer (SOL) with the fluctuations (filaments) that generate them. The framework is based on the dynamics of independent filaments and on their statistical behaviour and can be used to rigorously understand the mechanisms that lead to the non-exponential nature of the radial SOL profiles as well as the increase of the relative fluctuation amplitude in the far SOL. Several models for the dynamics of the filaments, which can be applied to the framework, are derived and discussed for the purpose of identifying how different assumptions lead to the emergence of features in the profiles. It is found that multiple alternative models can explain the observations, thus motivating more stringent and focused experimental analysis. In particular, radially accelerating filaments, less efficient parallel exhaust and also a statistical distribution of the velocity of the filaments can all contribute to induce flatter profiles in the far SOL. A quite general result is the resiliency of the non-exponential nature of the profiles. At the same time, several of the models discussed can also capture the increase of the relative fluctuation amplitude observed in the far SOL. It is also shown that several scenarios are compatible with the broadening of the SOL, which could be caused by charge exchange interactions with neutral particles or by a significant radial acceleration of the filaments.

description: We experimentally demonstrate for the first time the degenerate band edge (DBE) condition, namely the degeneracy of four Bloch modes, in loaded circular metallic waveguides. The four modes forming the DBE represent a degeneracy of fourth order occurring in a periodic structure where four Bloch modes, two propagating and two evanescent, coalesce. It leads to a very flat wavenumber-frequency dispersion relation, and the finite length structure's quality factor scales as $N^5$ where $N$ is the number of unit cells. The proposed waveguide in which DBE is observed here is designed by periodically loading a circular waveguide with misaligned elliptical metallic rings, supported by a low-index dielectric. We validate the existence of the DBE in such structure using measurements and we report good agreement between full-wave simulation and the measured response of the waveguide near the DBE frequency; taking into account metallic losses. We correlate our finding to theoretical and simulation results utilizing various techniques including dispersion synthesis, as well as observing how quality factor and group delay scale as the structure length increases. Moreover, the reported geometry is only an example of metallic waveguide with DBE: DBE and its characteristics can also be designed in many other kinds of waveguides and various applications can be contemplated as high microwave generation in amplifiers and oscillators based on an electron beam interaction or solid state devices, pulse compressors and microwave sensors.

Herausforderung Leiharbeit und Werkverträge : Strategien der Mitbestimmung auf gewerkschaftlicher und betrieblicher Ebene im Organisationsbereich der IG Metall

description: Leiharbeit wird seit längerem immer häufiger genutzt, um Personalausfälle bzw. Auftragsspitzen abzufedern, aber auch um sich strategisch gegen unsichere Absatzmärkte abzusichern. Neuerdings scheint darüber hinaus der Einsatz von Werkverträgen an Bedeutung zu gewinnen. Daraus ergeben sich Herausforderungen für die Akteure der ArbeitnehmerInneninteressenvertretung im dualen System der industriellen Beziehungen: Sowohl Gewerkschaften, als auch Betriebsräte in den Einsatzbetrieben sehen sich veränderten Beschäftigten- bzw. Belegschaftsstrukturen gegenüber, die sie vertreten müssen. Vor diesem Hintergrund wird am Beispiel des Organisationsbereichs der IG Metall untersucht, mit welchen Strategien die IG Metall auf Leih- und Werkvertragsarbeit reagiert, und wie die Betriebsräte in den Einsatzbetrieben mithilfe der gewandelten Mitbestimmungs- und Vertretungsrechte die IG Metall-Forderungen und Strategien theoretisch unterstützen können. Es wird argumentiert, dass die Strategien der IG Metall in Bezug auf Leih- und Werkvertragsarbeit unterschiedlich stark ausgeprägt sind. Zugleich wird deutlich, dass die Betriebsräte in den Einsatzbetrieben insbesondere bei Werkverträgen über einen sehr eingeschränkten Handlungsrahmen verfügen, um die Forderungen der IG Metall umzusetzen bzw. zu unterstützen.
