Overview: Effizientes Management im Gesundheitswesen – mit internationalen Fallstudien..Managed Care.Managed Care ist keine in sich geschlossene Theorie, sondern vielmehr ein Bündel ganz unterschiedlicher Organisationsmodelle und Management-Instrumente, die in vielfältigen Kombinationen eingesetzt werden. Genau aus diesem Grund ist es auch nicht möglich, „für“ oder „gegen“ Managed Care zu sein. Dies kann ausschließlich auf der Ebene der einzelnen Organisationsformen oder Management-Instrumente stimmen. Managed Care hat sich in den letzten Jahren deutlich weiter entwickelt und neue Themen sind

Overview: Market Mediations offers a fresh way to look at consumption practices, design and branding issues through analysis based on the French and European intellectual tradition. To account for this vast system of objects and brands, the book draws on the generative trajectory of meaning stemming from the structural semiotics of Greimas obedience.978-1-349-50622-4978-1-137-50998-7

Overview: Concise mathematical approach to the novel technology of mechatronic control of distributed noise and vibrationVibration and noise reduce the perceived quality, productivity, and efficiency of many and limit production speeds electromechanical systems. Vibration can cause defects during manufacturing and produce premature failure of finished products due to fa­ tigue. Potential contact with a vibrating system or hearing darnage from a noisy machine can produce a dangerous, unhealthy, and uncomfortable operating environ­ ment. Recent advances in computer technology have allowed the de

Overview: Investigates relations between humans and animals over several centuries with a focus on the Middle Ages.Aims to reconcile the materiality of animals with complex cultural systems illustrating their sThis book investigates relations between humans and animals over several centuries with a focus on the Middle Ages, since important features of our perceptions regarding animals have been rooted in that period. Elucidating various aspects of medieval human-animal relationships requires transdisciplinary discourse, and so this book aims to reconcile the materiality of animals with complex

Overview: Tells what you need to know to better control your headaches.Includes supplementary material: .Frequent headaches seriously affect the lives of millions of sufferers. The result can be lost productivity and income, restrict activity, lower self-esteem, and even social isolation. For many, it takes years to find the appropriate medication to manage your headaches effectively...In .Managing Your Headaches., Mark and Leah Green and John Rothrock explain what information you should record for your physician, what a physician is looking for in a neurological examination, and what you shou

Overview: Provides new algorithmic results, applications and numerical insights.Contains applications of positional games within a class of multi-objective discrete control problems.Presents advanced theoretica.This book presents recent findings and results concerning the solutions of especially finite state-space Markov decision problems and determining Nash equilibria for related stochastic games with average and total expected discounted reward payoffs. In addition, it focuses on a new class of stochastic games: stochastic positional games that extend and generalize the classic deterministi

Overview: One of the great problems of astrophysics is the unanswered question about the origin and mechanism of chromospheric and coronal heating. Just how these outer stellar envelopes are heated is of fundamental importance, since all stars have hot chromospheric and coronal shells where the temperature rises to millions of degrees, comparable to the temperatures in the stars‘ cores. Here for the first time is a comprehensive inventory of the proposed chromospheric and coronal heating theories. The proposed heating processes are critically compared, and the observational evidence for the va
