Kinderbetreuungseinrichtungen leisten einen wertvollen Beitrag zur vorschulischen Bildung und tragen zur Entwicklung von sozialen Fähigkeiten bei. Neben ihrer gesellschaftspolitischen Bedeutung gehen von Kindertageseinrichtungen positive ökonomische Effekte für Familien und für die Gesamtwirtschaft aus: Zum einen sichern die Personal- und Sachaufwendungen der Kindertageseinrichtungen Beschäftigung und tragen zur volkswirtschaftlichen Wertschöpfung bei. So erhöht - wie eine vorausgehende Studie ermittelte - eine zusätzliche Million an Ausgaben der Wiener Kindertageseinrichtungen die Wertschöpfung über die gesamte österreichische Volkswirtschaft um 1,02 Mio. Euro und generiert 15 Vollzeitarbeitsplätze (vgl. Schneider et al. 2006). Zum anderen beeinflusst das Angebot an außerhäuslicher Kinderbetreuung die Erwerbsbeteiligung von Eltern. Sind Eltern durch die Nutzung der Angebote von Kinderkrippen und Kindergärten verstärkt erwerbsaktiv, fließt den Familienhaushalten ein höheres Einkommen zu. In der Folge erhöht sich deren marktwirksamer Konsum und es werden in einer Reihe von Branchen Beschäftigungs- und Wertschöpfungseffekte wirksam. Diese Wirkungen der außerhäuslichen Kinderbetreuung auf die Erwerbsbeteiligung und Einkommen von Familienhaushalten stehen im Mittelpunkt der vorliegenden Studie. Sie dimensioniert volkswirtschaftliche Effekte der Betreuung von Kindern in Wiener Kinderkrippen und Kindertagesheimen auf der individuellen Haushaltsebene und auf der Ebene der Volkswirtschaft (...).

From a regulationist perspective, this paper wants to analyse under which preconditions local and nacional modes of development can diverge. Taking the modern history of Vienna and Austria as an example, the paper analyses the dialectics of accumulation strategies and nacional and local state projects. There can be distinguished four relevant historical períods. With regard to the convergence resp. divergence of local and nacional state projects, the two rather stable and the two rather instable períods stand in marked contrast to each other. The more general conclusion that can be derived from the Viennese experience is that a heterogeneous regional development is only a necessary, but not a sufficient condition for a local state project to diverge from the nacional one. It seems that popular forces can only establish a counter-project at the local level if the nacional dominant bloc fails to gain mass acceptance for its ideological dispensation and an emerging counter bloc is able to capitalise on this weakness by formulating its own social project.

This paper investigates the Viennese theatre scene as a part of Austria's Cultural Industries. On the one hand, the aim of this explorative study is to find out which types of cooperation between theatres occur and to analyse the underlying reasons and motives for cooperation. On the other hand the field-actors' perception of competition between theatres in the scene is investigated. The findings show that social networks (social capital) are regarded as very important for success and survival in the theatre scene. Competition comprises four different aspects and occurs as competition for financial supplements, competition for placement on the "market", competition for ideas, including the fear of idea-theft, as well as competition for the Wiener Festwochen. However, the theatre scene seems to be more strongly guided by trust and cooperation than by competition. / Series: Schriftenreihe / Forschungsbereich Wirtschaft und Kultur

Based on qualitative interviews, this paper explores how classical children's concerts serve as a means of "social distinction" (Bourdieu) for upper class families. Firstly, the paper presents a description of Vienna's children's concert scene for classical music and elaborates on Bourdieu's cultural-sociological approach. Secondly, the interrelation between knowledge about music and the accumulation of cultural capital, which emphasizes an individual's position in social space (Bourdieu), is investigated. The empirical data show that only children whose parents possess relatively high amounts of cultural and economic capital attend children's concerts. By taking their children to those cultural events, parents not only aim to convey a certain "taste in music" to them. They also support the accumulation of cultural knowledge or capital, which serve as a means of social distinction that asserts the family's position in society. / Series: Schriftenreihe / Forschungsbereich Wirtschaft und Kultur

In many Resistance-Capacitance Oscillators the oscillation amplitude is controlled by the use of a temperature-dependent resistor incorporated in the negative feedback loop. The use of thermistors and tungsten lamps is discussed and an approximate analysis is presented for the behaviour of the tungsten lamp. The result is applied in an analysis of the familiar Wien Bridge Oscillator both for the presence of a linear circuit and a cubic nonlinearity. The linear analysis leads to a highly unstable transient response which is uncommon to most oscillators. The inclusion of the slight cubic nonlinearity, however, leads to a result which is in close agreement to the observed response. / Thesis / Master of Engineering (MEngr)
