Overview: Using the presence of the past as a point of departure, this books explores three critical themes in Southeast Asian oral history: the relationship between oral history and official histories produced by nation-states; the nature of memories of violence; and intersections between oral history, oral tradition, and heritage discourses.978-1-349-45703-8978-1-137-31167-2Series ISSN 2731-5673 Series E-ISSN 2731-5681

Overview: For every Aboriginal child taken away by the state governments in Australia, there was at least one white family intimately involved in their life. One Bright Spot is about one of these families - about ‘Ming‘, a Sydney wife and mother who hired Aboriginal domestic servants in the 20s and 30s, and became an activist against the Stolen Generations policy. Her story, reconstructed by her great-granddaughter, tells of a remarkable, yet forgotten, shared history.978-1-4039-4744-4978-0-230-51059-3

Overview: Ein neues Paradigma der Unternehmensführung:.Options Based ManagementDas heutige wirtschaftliche Umfeld ist geprägt durch ein hohes Maß an Un-sicherheit. Gleichzeitig verfügen Manager häufig über ein weit reichendes Maß an strategischer, operativer und finanzieller Flexibilität in ihren Entscheidungen. In einem solchen Umfeld versagen die traditionellen Bewer-tungs- und Entscheidungsverfahren (z. B. Net Present Value). Nur der Realoptionsansatz ermöglicht es dem Management, fundierte Entscheidungen herbeizuführen. Seine konsequente Anwendung erlaubt den Übergang vom Value Based Manag

Overview: Introduction of several human organizational principles into multi-agent architecture.Use of industry-strength business cases in the logistics and insurance domain.Multi-disciplinary research, taking 1. 1 Background In this work, we develop a framework for the design of multi-agent systems inspired by (human) organizational principles. Organizations are complex entities formed to ov- come various limitations of individual agencies, such as cognitive, physical, temporal and institutional limitations. There is a parallel between the complexity of organizations and multi-agent systems.

Overview: In this study Lei focuses on the notion of ‘performing Chinese‘ in traditional opera in the ‘contact zones‘, where two or more cultures, ethnicities, and/or ideologies meet and clash. This work seeks to create discourse among theatre and performance studies, Asian and Asian American studies, and transnational and diasporic studies.978-1-349-73693-5978-1-137-06163-8Series ISSN 2947-5767 Series E-ISSN 2947-5775

Overview: Today‘s "clash of civilizations" between the Islamic world and the West are in many ways rooted in 19th-century resistance to Western hegemony. This compellingly argued and carefully researched transnational study details the ways in which Japan served as a model for Ottomans in attaining "non-Western" modernity in a Western-dominated global order.978-1-349-48096-8978-1-137-38460-7Series ISSN 2634-6273 Series E-ISSN 2634-6281

Overview: Präsentiert ausgewählte Beiträge des Wettbewerbs "Gödel und die Nichtexistenz der Zeit" (2021).Beschäftigt sich mit der Frage, was es für unser Weltbild bedeutet, wenn es keine Zeit gibt.Liefert wertv.Kurt Gödel was not just a brilliant logician but contributed also important results to the general theory of relativity. In the 1940s he found a solution to Einstein‘s field equations which (roughly speaking) allows for time-travel, i.e. compromises our very notion of time. This book brings together the contributions to the Kurt Gödel essay competition on the question: "What does it mea

Overview: This book was conceived with the object of presenting to doctors and medical students with a potential interest in the disciplines of orthopaedic surgery, diagnostic radiology and orthopaedic pathology, a volume which would contain basic and essential information concerning those disorders of the skeleton in which a common interest exists. Diagnosis in such conditions is dependent on close collaboration between specialists in these subjects. As medical knowledge has advanced, so the necessity for detailed specialisation has increased. As a result co-operation in a combined approach h

Overview: Provides readers with an in-depth understanding to OSINT from a theoretical, practical and legal perspective.Demonstrates practical methods and real-life cases.Offers the perspectives from a multidisc.One of the most important aspects for a successful police operation is the ability for the police to obtain timely, reliable and actionable intelligence related to the investigation or incident at hand. Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) provides an invaluable avenue to access and collect such information in addition to traditional investigative techniques and information sources. This bo

Overview: Glasfaser und GigabitWir leben in einem Informationszeitalter - das heißt, die zu übertragenden Da­ tenmengen werden immer größer und die Übertragungsgeschwindigkeit wird im­ mer höher. Die Datenübertragung der Gegenwart erfolgt sowohl mit mobilen Komponenten (Handy und UMTS seien als Stichworte genannt) als auch mittels Festnetz, bestehend aus Kupferkabeln und in enorm zunehmendem Maße aus Glasfasern. Bereits jetzt kann der Nutzer nicht unterscheiden, welchen Weg der Datenstrom nimmt - nur im Festnetz, nur über Funk oder, wie meistens, eine Kombination zwischen beiden. Dieser Prozes

Overview: .The book presents the descriptive findings and analytical results from the recent representative European Union Company survey of Operating hours, Working times and Employment (EUCOWE) in France, Germany, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain and the United Kingdom. The EUCOWE-project is the first representative and standardised European company survey which covers all categories of firm size and all sectors of the economy. Several relevant questions are addressed on the basis of the survey, such as: What are the operating hours of the different European countries that form the six count

Overview: Includes supplementary material: Optimization problems in practice are diverse and evolve over time, giving rise to - quirements both for ready-to-use optimization software packages and for optimization software libraries, which provide more or less adaptable building blocks for app- cation-specific software systems. In order to apply optimization methods to a new type of problem, corresponding models and algorithms have to be “coded” so that they are accessible to a computer. One way to achieve this step is the use of a mod- ing language. Such modeling systems provide an excellent i

Overview: OCS, the International Workshop on Optical SuperComputing, is a new annual forum for research presentations on all facets of optical computing for solving hard computation tasks. Optical computing devices have the potential to build the very next computing infrastructure. Given the frequency limitations and cross-talk phenomena, as well as the soft-errors, of electronic devices on one hand, and the natural parallelism of optical computing devices, as well as the advances in ?ber optics and optical switches, on the other hand, optical c- puting is becoming increasingly marketable. The

Overview: Fantastic colourful book on Picture Making and Picture Seeing.Offers an interesting perspective on the development of styles and conventions in art and how these link to perception.Presents a nice rea.Archaeological and anthropological investigations of depictions seldom extend beyond a single culture or a single geographical location, although there is a powerful factor common to all depictions, the factor of human perception. In this volume an attempt is made to show how this factor affects both creation and recognition of depictions, how, in common with everyday vision of the envi

Overview: Covers data processing techniques, with economic and financial application being the unifying theme.Describes econometric techniques, ranging from traditional statistical techniques to more innovative.This volume emphasizes techniques of optimal transport statistics, but it also describes and uses other econometric techniques, ranging from more traditional statistical techniques to more innovative ones such as quantiles (in particular, multidimensional quantiles), maximum entropy approach, and machine learning. Applications range from general analysis of GDP growth, stock market, and

Overview: Why another book about Ore Deposits? There are a number of factors which motivated us to write this text and which may provide an answer to this question. Firstly our colleagues are predominantly mining engineers and minerals processing technologists, which provides us with a different perspective of ore deposits from many academic geologists. Secondly we have found that most existing texts are either highly theoretical or merely descriptive: we have attempted to examine the practical implications of the geological setting and genetic models of particular ore deposit types. We have w

Overview: Twardowski‘s little book - of which I here offer a translation - is one of the most remarkable works in the history of modern philosophy. It is concise, clear, and - in Findlay‘s words - "amazingly rich in ideas. "l It is therefore a paradigm of what some contemporary philosophers approvingly call "analytic philosophy. " But Twardowski‘s book is also of considerable historical significance. His views reflect Brentano‘s ear­ lier position and thus shed some light on this stage of Brentano‘s philo­ sophy. Furthermore, they form a link between this stage, on the one hand, and those two

Overview: Organisation geplant verändern:Bildung und Erziehung lassen sich nicht auf die Dyade "Erzieher/Unterrichtender/Lehrender" – "Erzogener/Schüler/Lernender" reduzieren. Pädagogische Arbeit steht immer im weiteren Kontext von Organisation.Die organisationstheoretische Perspektive gewinnt in den Disziplinen, die sich mit Bildung, Erziehung und sozialer Arbeit befassen, zunehmend an Bedeutung. Die „pädagogische Organisation“ ist aber weder theoretisch noch empirisch hinreichend erforscht. Die Fragen, ob und wie eine Organisation pädagogische Professionalität stützt oder behindert, sind wei
