This book uncovers the ways in which human existence is often overshadowed by legislative interpretations of legal and illegalised. It unearths the consequences of uncertainty and unknowing for people whose futures often lay in the ha

Overview: Brings an intersectional gender perspective to bear on social partners and corporatist decision-making in Europe.Develops a research agenda on social partners and corporatism within the gender and polThis book breaks new ground in gender and politics research by studying the multiple ways in which gender and intersectional equalities shape and are shaped by social partners representing employers and employees in Europe, as well as the relationships between those social partners. Little critical attention has been paid to these organizations, yet, as this volume illustrates, social pa

Overview: Für international tätige Unternehmungen ist der Einsatz der Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologie einer der zentralen Wettbewerbsfaktoren. Bei der Umsetzung der Globalisierungsstrategien mangelt es jedoch oft an expliziten IT-Strategien. Rein nationale Lösungsansätze reichen dabei im komplexen internationalen Kontext nicht aus. Marc Römer untersucht die komplexitätssteigernden Anforderungen an das IT-Management speziell in international tätigen Unternehmen. Im Zentrum der Analyse steht dabei der "strategische Fit" zwischen den Planungsebenen Strategie, Organisation und IT-Manag

Overview: Dieser Buchtitel ist Teil des Digitalisierungsprojekts Springer Book Archives mit Publikationen, die seit den Anfängen des Verlags von 1842 erschienen sind. Der Verlag stellt mit diesem Archiv Quellen für die historische wie auch die disziplingeschichtliche Forschung zur Verfügung, die jeweils im historischen Kontext betrachtet werden müssen. Dieser Titel erschien in der Zeit vor 1945 und wird daher in seiner zeittypischen politisch-ideologischen Ausrichtung vom Verlag nicht beworben.978-3-662-02036-4

Overview: A multi-disciplinary approach to system structures.A one-stop resource highlighting core issues for those involved in dependability in a complex computer-based environment.Includes supplementary materComputer-based systems are now essential to everyday life. They involve both tech- cal (hardware/software) components and human beings as active participants. Wh- ever we ?y aboard an aircraft or withdraw money from a cash point, a combination of humans, machines and software is supporting the delivery of the service. These systems and many others bene?t from the miniaturisation and cost

Overview: Focusses on healthcare ecosystem design, patient care, preventive healthcare advancement.Discusses challenges, ethical issues and solutions stemming from the use of AI in medicine.Explores the integra.This book analyses the ability of technological advancements to represent, enhance, and empower multidisciplinarity in the context of Society 5.0. and next generation medicine. New technologies allow patients to communicate with medical personnel anytime, anywhere and shape the terrain of healthcare ecosystem at an unprecedented rate. Five main trends become apparent in this process: Hy

Overview: One of the most basic themes in the philosophy of language isreferential uptake, .viz.., the question of what counts asproperly `understanding‘ a referring act in communication. In thisinquiry, the particular line pursued goes back to Strawson‘s work onre-identification, but the immediate influence is that of GarethEvans. It is argued that traditional and recent proposals fail toaccount for success in referential communication. A novel account isdeveloped, resembling Evans‘ account in combining an external successcondition with a Fregean one. But, in contrast to Evans, greateremphasi

Overview: Includes supplementary material: Concepts like ubiquitous computing and ambient intelligence that exploit - creasingly interconnected networks and mobility put new requirements on data management. An important element in the connected world is that data will be accessible anytime anywhere. This also has its downside in that it becomes easier to get unauthorized data access. Furthermore, it will become easier to collect, store, and search personal information and endanger people’s privacy. As a result security and privacy of data becomes more and more of an issue. Therefore, secure da

Overview: This volume contains papers presented at the fourth working conference on Communications and Multimedia Security (CMS‘99), held in Leuven, Belgium from September 20-21, 1999. The Conference, arrangedjointly by Technical Committees 11 and 6 of the International Federation of Information Processing (IFIP), was organized by the Department of Electrical Engineering of the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven. The name "Communications and Multimedia Security" was used for the first time in 1995, when Reinhard Posch organized the first in this series of conferences in Graz, Austria, following up

Overview: Presents estimation of the reliable resource of cyclically contacting solids with cracks.Shows new calculation models for the realization of estimations.Useful for the prognosis of reliable operation This book focuses on surface layers fracture of cyclical contacting bodies (machine parts). Calculation models and calculating procedures of stress-strain states of cyclically contacting solids with cracks, are included. Recommendations for the optimization of operating parameters of joints (contact stresses magnitude, friction/lubrication conditions, materials crack resistance etc) for

Overview: This book is concerned with the numerical solution of crack problems. The techniques to be developed are particularly appropriate when cracks are relatively short, and are growing in the neighbourhood of some stress raising feature, causing a relatively steep stress gradient. It is therefore practicable to represent the geometry in an idealised way, so that a precise solution may be obtained. This contrasts with, say, the finite element method in which the geometry is modelled exactly, but the subsequent solution is approximate, and computationally more taxing. The family of techniqu

Overview: Stochastic Dynamics, born almost 100 years ago with the early explanations of Brownian motion by physicists, is nowadays a quickly expanding field of research within nonequilibrium statistical physics. The present volume provides a survey on the influence of fluctuations in nonlinear dynamics. It addresses specialists, although the intention of this book is to provide teachers and students with a reliable resource for seminar work. In particular, the reader will find many examples illustrating the theory as well as a host of recent findings.978-3-662-14122-9978-3-540-69040-5Series IS
