Overview: Derderian looks at the large North African population in France and their attempts for recognition in a country which has long denied its rich immigration past and present. He considers how the North African community has developed from the late 1970s to the mid-1990s, especially in their political and cultural initiatives. Derderian examines the radio station Radio Beur and the television show La Famille Ramdam , as well as political initiatives and the role of ethnic minorities in defining prominent French sites of memory such as the working-class suburbs or banlieues and the Alger

Overview: .Im Zuge des demografischen Wandels müssen neue Versorgungskonzepte im Bereich der Altenhilfe entwickelt werden, die den Sozialraum und das Quartier in den Fokus nehmen. Den Einrichtungen der stationären Altenhilfe kommt hierbei eine besondere Rolle zu, müssen sie doch einen Wechsel vollziehen von einer Einrichtung, die den Exklusionserwartungen der Gesellschaft entspricht, hin zu einer Institution, die aktiv Inklusion fördert und Teilhabeoptionen eröffnet. Dieser Paradigmenwechsel kann jedoch nur gelingen, wenn eine Einbettung in ein Netzwerk lokaler Akteure erfolgt, welches von Kon

Overview: Fokussiert sich auf den Zyklus des Risikomanagements.Veranschaulicht an vielen hochaktuellen Fallbeispielen.Liefert weitreichende soziale und ökonomische Orientierung.Mit der Covid-19-Pandemie hat die Menschheit zu den bekannten Ereignissen in der Natur wie den extremen Hochwasserereignissen an Elbe und Oder, dem Tsunami in Indonesien, Erdbeben in Italien oder ersten deutlichen Anzeichen für einen Anstieg des Meeresspiegels ein Katastrophenszenario zu bewältigen, das ihre Bedrohung noch einmal nachhaltig verstärkt. In Europa werden die Menschen zunehmend mit Gefahren konfrontiert, di

Overview: A discussion of the relationship between the human body and language seems to be the inevitable result of any reflexion by man on his particular condi­ tion. This has held true since the earliest records in written tradition. It may be an excessively ambitious undertaking to try to catalogue the themes in that reflexion and reconstruct its successive stages within the confines of a book of fairly modest proportions such as this one; but the challenge has been stimulating enough to call for a response. The long research work that preceded the writing of this book and the large collect

Overview: Serves as a graduate text for a survey of computational statistics.Second edition adds material on optimization, MM algorithm, penalty and barrier methods, and model selection via the lasso.Other majoEvery advance in computer architecture and software tempts statisticians to tackle numerically harder problems. To do so intelligently requires a good working knowledge of numerical analysis. This book equips students to craft their own software and to understand the advantages and disadvantages of different numerical methods. Issues of numerical stability, accurate approximation, comput

Overview: Providing an in-depth treatment of neural network models, this volume explains and proves the main results in a clear and accessible way. It presents the essential principles of nonlinear dynamics as derived from neurobiology, and investigates the stability, convergence behaviour and capacity of networks. Also included are sections on stochastic networks and simulated annealing, presented using Markov processes rather than statistical physics, and a chapter on backpropagation. Each chapter ends with a suggested project designed to help the reader develop an integrated knowledge of th
