Sommario/riassunto

Exponential random graph models (ERGMs) are increasingly applied to observed network data and are central to understanding social structure and network processes. The chapters in this edited volume provide a self-contained, exhaustive account of the theoretical and methodological underpinnings of ERGMs, including models for univariate, multivariate, bipartite, longitudinal and social-influence type ERGMs. Each method is applied in individual case studies illustrating how social science theories may be examined empirically using ERGMs. The authors supply the reader with sufficient detail to specify ERGMs, fit them to data with any of the available software packages and interpret the results.

Sommario/riassunto

In 1998, the Department of Defense (DoD) began a program of mandatory immunization against anthrax for all military personnel. As the program proceeded, however, some military personnel and their families raised concerns about the safety and efficacy of the anthrax vaccine. Acknowledging both the need to protect military personnel and the concerns about the anthrax vaccine, congress directed the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to carry out a research program on its safety and efficacy. To assist in the development of this program, CDC requested the Institute of Medicine (IOM) to convene a committee to review the completeness and appropriateness of the research program. In An Assessment of the CDC Anthrax Vaccine Safety and Efficacy Research Program , the committee makes an overall assessment of the CDD research plan and reviews the specific studies proposed by CDC in the three areas of efficacy, safety and acceptability. The committee also notes additional research needs that became evident following the bioterrorist events of 2001 and makes recommendations about the leadership of the research program.

Sommario/riassunto

Maurice Cottiers Studie zur Praxis und Wahrnehmung von interpersonaler Gewalt in Bern nimmt erstmals in der deutschsprachigen Gewaltforschung das späte 19. und frühe 20. Jahrhundert in den Blick.  Gestützt auf die Auswertung von über dreihundert Gerichtsakten zu schweren Gewalt- und Sexualdelikten sowie in einer dezidiert diachronen Perspektive untersucht der Autor, wie sich Gewaltverhalten und -narrative am Übergang von einer Ehr- zu einer modernen Subjektkultur wandelten. Dabei zeigt sich, dass die Ausbreitung einer veränderten Auffassung von Gewalt als affektiv, leidenschaftlich und damit als subjektiv motiviertes Handeln einerseits



Gewalttaten im Sinne der Ehre einschränkte, anderseits aber eine spezifische Gewaltkultur hervorbrachte, in der sich die Akteure als tragische Helden stilisierten.
