Overview: .An Integrative Model of Moral Deliberation. maintains that current models of moral deliberation do not effectively deal with contemporary moral complexity because they are based on an inadequate theory of moral cognition. Drawing on research in neuroscience, evolutionary psychology, social theory, and dual process cognitive theory and on the work of William James, this book develops a theory of moral cognition which provides a major role for aesthetic sensibilities and upon this theory develops a robust model of moral deliberation. This model portrays moral deliberation as a back an

Overview: The mathematical technique of Monte Carlo, as applied to the transport of sub-atomic particles, has been described in numerous reports and books since its formal development in the 1940s. Most of these instructional efforts have been directed either at the mathematical basis of the technique or at its practical application as embodied in the several large, formal computer codes available for performing Monte Carlo transport calculations. This book attempts to fill what appears to be a gap in this Monte Carlo literature between the mathematics and the software. Thus, while the mathema

Overview: Describes in detail one of the main research methodologies used for academia-industry research collaborations.Each chapter shares essential insights into action research and how to apply it.Covers theThis book addresses action research (AR), one of the main research methodologies used for academia-industry research collaborations.

Overview: Includes contributions and coverage from 27 countries and 6 continents to give a truly global perspective.Explores the topic of ethics in authentic leadership and followership and offers a critical an.This book shines a spotlight on two missing foci of authentic leadership research: international and follower perspectives. The concept of ‘authenticity’ has been in vogue since the times of Greek philosophy, but it wasn’t until the 1990s that leadership scholars seriously began to study the topic of authentic leadership. This new collection brings together empirical research and theore

Overview: An der Realisierung integrierter Informationssysteme sind verschiedene Partner aus Fachabteilungen, Informatik sowie externe Berater und Hersteller beteiligt. Sie benötigen klare Regeln und Abgrenzungen, nach denen sie ihre Teilaufgaben bearbeiten können, damit ein schlüssiges Gesamtprojekt entsteht. In einer Architektur muß deshalb festgelegt werden, aus welchen Komponenten ein Informationssystem besteht und mit Hilfe welcher Methoden es beschrieben werden soll. Während früher lediglich einzelne Beschreibungssichten wie Funktionsdarstellung oder Datenmodelle dominierten, wird in die

Overview: Die Akne, als eine der haufigsten Hauterkrankungen, ist wohl jedem Laien bekannt. Fast jeder Mensch leidet in der Pubertat unter den mehr oder weniger ausgepragten entzundlichen Ver­ anderungen einer Acne vulgaris. Er leidet, wenngleich die Erkran­ kung "ungefahrlich" ist, besonders psychisch, aus zwei Grunden: • Hauptlokalisation der Akne ist das Gesicht, und die entstellen­ den Hautveranderungen entwickeln sich • in einem Lebensalter, in dem der Sinn fUr Asthetik, fUr k6rperliche Sch6nheit erwacht und sich der Wunsch nach sozialen und emotionalen Kontakten besonders entwickelt.

Overview: The Atlas will cover all the most frequent penile diseases, along with more rare ones.It provides useful guidance for the clinical diagnosis of disorders affecting the male genitalia.The prominent cli.Male genital disorders represent a common issue in medical practice, especially in the dermatological setting. Correct clinical evaluation of these disorders is essential when addressing the diagnosis, which in some cases may require histopathological confirmation. .Depending on the disease, early diagnosis may be not only lifesaving, but also of fundamental importance to the planning o

Overview: The long needed, up-to-date book on Mackie‘s error theory reflecting the latest views and accounts in the field.The only book on the market to focus comprehensively on the topic of moral skepticism.Ma.For centuries, certain moral philosophers have maintained that morality is an illusion, comparable to talking of ghosts or unicorns. These moral skeptics claim that the world simply doesn’t contain the sort of properties (such as moral badness, moral obligation, etc.) necessary to render moral statements true. Even seemingly obvious moral claims, such as "killing innocents is morally wr

Overview: Describes recent methods for automatically analyzing a sentence, based on the syntactic and semantic characteristics of the elements that form it.Presents a disambiguation algorithm based on linguisti.This book describes effective methods for automatically analyzing a sentence, based on the syntactic and semantic characteristics of the elements that form it. To tackle ambiguities, the authors use selectional preferences (SP), which measure how well two words fit together semantically in a sentence. Today, many disciplines require automatic text analysis based on the syntactic and sem

Overview: The object of this study is to find a coherent theoretical approach to three problems which appear to interrelate in complex ways: (1) What is the ontological status of consciousness? (2) How can there be ‘un­ conscious,‘ ‘prereflective‘ or ‘self-alienated‘ consciousness? And (3) Is there a ‘self‘ or ‘ego‘ formed by means of the interrelation of more elementary states of consciousness? The motivation for combining such a diversity of difficult questions is that we often learn more by looking at interrelations of problems than we could by viewing them only in isola­ tion. The three qu
