Overview: Zum Umgang der Soziologie mit sozialen, kulturellen, wirtschaftlichen und ökologischen Spannungen.Der Einfluss von gesellschaftlichen Krisen auf die Entwicklung der Soziologie.Verdeutlichung der aktueSeit mehr als 100 Jahren begleiten Soziolog*innen gesellschaftliche Entwicklungen mit ihren Überlegungen, beobachten und beschreiben gesellschaftliche Spannungen entlang unterschiedlicher Bruchlinien und Konjunkturen. Dieser Band geht der Frage nach, wie sich die Soziologie in unterschiedlichen Phasen ihrer Fachgeschichte mit wirtschaftlichen, politischen, sozialen und kulturellen Spannu

Overview: Prüfungswissen leicht gemacht: die Grundprinzipien unserer Rechtsordnung und ihre Anwendung.Verständliche, übersichtliche, praxisaugliche Darstellung der Rechte und Pflichten privater Sicherheitskräft.Dieses Lehrbuch behandelt systematisch alle Fachgebiete der IHK-Sachkundeprüfung nach dem aktuellen Rahmenstoffplan. Besonderen Wert hat der Autor dabei auf den oft als schwierig empfundenen Rechtsteil gelegt: Zahlreiche Abbildungen und Beispiele veranschaulichen die Gesetzestexte und ihre Bedeutung für die Praxis, erleichtern das Stoffverständnis und das Lernen. Übersichtlich und verst

Overview: Statistik- dieses Wort weckt unangenehme Erinnerungen an Tabellen, unüberschaubares Zahlenmaterial und lästige Fragebogen. Auch die Erinnerung an die Geschichte von der Steigerungsform der Lüge, nach der es drei Arten der Lüge gibt: einfache Lüge, gemeine Lüge, Statistik, wird geweckt. Und dennoch kann man sich der Qualität der Argumentation nicht entziehen, wenn Zahlen, mit dem Anschein des unumstößlich Faktischen verbunden, in die Diskussion geworfen werden. Allgemein wird anerkannt, daß exakte Kenntnis des Wirtschafts- und Gesellschafts­ lebens weitgehend auf statistischen Erhebun

Overview: Modern airborne and spaceborne imaging radars, known as.synthetic. .aperture radars (SARs)., are capable of producinghigh-quality pictures of the earth‘s surface while avoiding some ofthe shortcomings of certain other forms of remote imaging systems.Primarily, radar overcomes the nighttime limitations of opticalcameras, and the cloud- cover limitations of both optical and infraredimagers. In addition, because imaging radars use a form of .coherentillumination., they can be used in certain special modes such as.interferometry., to produce some unique derivative image productsthat .inc

Overview: Integrates data and theories collected and established in Russia and abroad.The author is well known not only in Russia but also in the western worldThe author describes the stochastic (probabilistic) approach to the study of changes in the climate system. Climatic data and theoretical considerations suggest that a large part of climatic variation/variability has a random nature and can be analyzed using the theory of stochastic processes. This work summarizes the results of processing existing records of climatic parameters as well as appropriate theories: from the theory of random

Overview: There are no other books available that discuss the cognitive and emotional aspects of subcortical pathology at the level of clinical neuropsychology.At the cutting edge of clinical research connectin.Clinical psychologists and neuropsychologists are traditionally taught that cognition is mediated by the cortex and that subcortical brain regions mediate the coordination of movement. However, this argument can easily be challenged based upon the anatomic organization of the brain. The relationship between the prefrontal cortex/frontal lobes and basal ganglia is characterized by loops

Overview: Spectral estimation is important in many fields including astronomy, meteorology, seismology, communications, economics, speech analysis, medical imaging, radar, sonar, and underwater acoustics. Most existing spectral estimation algorithms are devised for uniformly sampled complete-data sequences. However, the spectral estimation for data sequences with missing samples is also important in many applications ranging from astronomical time series analysis to synthetic aperture radar imaging with angular diversity. For spectral estimation in the missing-data case, the challenge is how t

Overview: Surveys the debate on economic planning among Swedish economists in the 1930s.Summarises the international debate on economic planning, with figures such as Mises and Hayek.Explores reasons behind a n.The 1930s, characterised by repercussions from World War I and the Great Depression, was an era of populism, nationalism, protectionism, government intervention and attempts to create planned economies. The perceived need for economic planning emerged in Sweden in part due to the increasing political strength of the Social Democrats and their evolution from a party hampered by Marxist f

Overview: First book devoted to the topic of super concentration, chaos and multiple valleys.Presents a wide array of examples on the subject.Integrates new concepts and gives a systematic account of the histor.A certain curious feature of random objects, introduced by the author as “super concentration,” and two related topics, “chaos” and “multiple valleys,” are highlighted in this book. Although super concentration has established itself as a recognized feature in a number of areas of probability theory in the last twenty years (under a variety of names), the author was the first to discove

Overview: The Photoelectric Spectrometry Group was formed in July 1948 in Cambridge. The Group was born out of a need for a forum of users to discuss problems and methodology associated with the new era of photoelectric spectrometers. Over the years the aims and objectives of the Group have been broadened to include many aspects of ultraviolet and visible spectrometry. In 1973, the Group renamed itself the UV Spectrometry Group (UVSG). The techniques of fluorescence, diffuse reflectance, ORD and CD were included in the Group‘s interest. In 1979, the UVSG became a registered charity. The presen

Overview: Explains how to design a management control system that will faciliate the execution of the business strategy.Builds on in-depth, research-based recommendations from the field of strategy and managemeStrategic management control differs from traditional management control in several important respects. First, it supports both strategy formulation and strategy implementation. Second, it is to a large extent based on non-financial information. Third, it deals with both the long and short term and supports not only tactical, but also strategic and operational decision-making. Fourth, an

Overview: Opens a new, more flexible way of thinking about how to plan for and respond to climate adaptation, based on the behavior of swarms in nature.Emphasizes new approaches to spatial design and planning w.This book shows that the problem of climate adaptation, which is described in social planning terms as ‘wicked,’ is at odds with the contemporary practice of spatial planning. The author proposes a new adjusted framework which is more adaptable to unpredictable, wicked, dynamic and non-linear processes. The inspiration for this new method is the behaviour of swarms: bees, ants, birds an
