Overview: Includes contributions from Europe, USA, South America.Strongly tied to the concept of mediatisation.Includes a contribution from David Altheide, who together with Robert P. Snow developed the concept.This volume provides new approaches to the concept of media logics – developed by Altheide and Snow – by drawing on theoretical and empirical perspectives from international scientists working in the field of communications, media, political science, and sociology. In an increasingly digitized and globalized world, powerful media structures and technologies influence our daily lives in

Overview: New unified theory.Detailed graphic illustration.Empirical validation for each model.Machine Learning - Modeling Data Locally and Globally presents a novel and unified theory that tries to seamlessly integrate different algorithms. Specifically, the book distinguishes the inner nature of machine learning algorithms as either "local learning"or "global learning."This theory not only connects previous machine learning methods, or serves as roadmap in various models, but – more importantly – it also motivates a theory that can learn from data both locally and globally. This would help t

Overview: The book demonstrates that the solutions to security in information systems are to be found through adopting appropriate management strategies and mechanisms, rather than merely seeking technical solutions. The arguments are supported by case studies from the health care and local government sectors.978-0-333-69260-8

Overview: interest in a particular application, however, often depends on his or hergeneralinterestintheareainwhichtheapplicationistakingplace. My experience at Union College has been that there is a real advan­ tage in having students enter the course knowing thatvirtually all the applications will focus on a single discipline-in this case, political science. The level ofpresentation assumes no college-level mathematicalor social science prerequisites. The philosophy underlying the approach we have taken in this book is based on the sense that we (mathemati­ cians)havetendedtomaketwoerrorsint

Overview: Since the inflationary 1970s, theoretical work on monetary policy has concentrated almost exclusively on price-level stabilization and the avoidance of nominal shocks. In the aftermath of the collapse of financial bubbles in various parts of the world, the accomplishments and limitations of this dominant approach are debated in this volume edited by Axel Leijonhufvud, with contributions by a number of noted monetary economists, including Nobel Laureate Robert Lucas.978-1-349-65376-8978-1-4039-3961-6Series ISSN 2662-6330 Series E-ISSN 2662-6349

Overview: Werbewirkung effizient kontrollierenIn einer Wettbewerbswirtschaft verfolgen Marktteilnehmer unter anderem das Ziel, gegenüber aktuellen und potentiellen Konkurrenten Wettbewerbsvorteile zu erzielen beziehungsweise zu verteidigen. Eines der Instrumente, die zum Erreichen dieses Zieles eingesetzt werden, ist die Werbung, die - wie andere Erfolgsfaktoren auch - zielgerichtet zu konzipieren, zu planen, zu realisieren und zu kontrollieren ist. Ein Indiz dafür, daß im Bereich der Werbekontrolle noch gewisse Defizite be­ stehen, mag der Henry Ford zugeschriebene, von Theoretikern wie Prakt

Overview: Offers comprehensive and insightful reviews on the promising non-orthogonal multiple access technologies toward 5G/6G.Investigates novel physical layer transceiving technology design for efficient mulThis book investigates the multiuser communication and its key technology—multiple access technology, as well as transceiving design methods. Multiple access methods toward B5G and 6G currently allows the superposition transmissions of multiuser signals with controllable mutual interference. By deploying advanced multiuser detector, current technology significantly enhances the connectiv

Overview: Offers a musicological contribution to the interdisciplinary discourse on holocaust memory in popular media.Examines music in films as mediator of time.Combines detailed analysis of music and sound inThis book focuses on the aural and musical sphere of fictional audio-visual reconstructions of the Holocaust, a defining event in the history of the 20th century. Musicology has seen an increasing number of works on the function of film music and the construction of identity in media contexts in recent years. This project analyses the use of music in feature films about the Shoah. The an

Overview: It is a real pleasure to write the Foreword for this book, both because I have known and respected its author for many years and because I expect this book’s publication will mark an important milestone in the continuing worldwide development of microsystems. By bringing together all aspects of microsystem design, it can be expected to facilitate the training of not only a new generation of engineers, but perhaps a whole new type of engineer – one capable of addressing the complex range of problems involved in reducing entire systems to the micro- and nano-domains. This book breaks d

Overview: Only very few therapeutic modalities are used as extensively as mechanical ventilation in intensive care units, during anaesthesia and in emergency situations. Hence theoretical and practical knowledge in this technique had to be made available to workers in a number of medical specialities. In addition to anaesthetists, who are most familiar with artificial ventilation for historical and practical reasons, surgeons, internists, paediatricians and emergency physicians also need a foundation. Furthermore, the widespread application of this life-supporting method requires that paramedi

D. programs at Harvard and UCLA to teaching in the MBA programs at the Anderson School at UCLA. On the basis of 20 years of apparent teaching success in Ph.

Overview: In der Auseinandersetzung mit der Generierung und Implementierung von Verfahrensinnovationen wurden die kognitiv-emotionalen Bedingungen der Innovativität bisher vernachlässigt; Konzeptionen des Führungsverhaltens bieten keine zufriedenstellenden Lösungen. Diana E. Krause entwickelt ein verhaltenswissenschaftliches Modell, das den Innovationserfolg durch innovationsbezogene Verhaltensweisen von Führungskräften erklärt. An die Stelle traditioneller Führungsstilkonzeptionen treten die Kategorien Einflussnahme und Machtausübung sowie Vertrauen und Misstrauen. Eine umfangreiche branchenü
