Overview: Verbände stehen vor neuen Herausforderungen: Die Übernahme von Ehrenämtern erfolgt unter anderen Voraussetzungen als früher, der Wettbewerb um staatliche Mittel und Wahrnehmung in der Öffentlichkeit verschärft sich, und das Kosten-Nutzen-Denken der Mitglieder nimmt zu. Führungskräfte in Verbänden müssen daher vermehrt strategisch handeln, um die Existenz des Verbands dauerhaft zu gewährleisten. Beate Lakes zeigt, dass das tatsächliche Verhalten in Verbänden vor allem auf Grund monetärer Sachzwänge und fehlenden Know-hows häufig von den eigentlichen Werten und Zielen der Mitglieder ab

Overview: Anticipates radical change in society (such as a future without work) and asks what role education, and more importantly learning, should play in that future.Originates from a long term strategic focuThis open access book explores the key dimensions of a future education system designed to enable individuals, schools, and communities to achieve the twin twenty-first century challenges of sustainability and human well-being. For much of the twentieth century, Western education systems prepared students to enter the workforce, contribute to society and succeed in relatively predictable

Overview: Provides insight into the role of speech-compression techniques in a variety of embedded applications.Discusses the advantages and technical considerations associated with incorporating speech-compres.Speech Processing has rapidly emerged as one of the most widespread and well-understood application areas in the broader discipline of Digital Signal Processing. Besides the telecommunications applications that have hitherto been the largest users of speech processing algorithms, several non-traditional embedded processor applications are enhancing their functionality and user interface

Overview: Addresses simulation from a dialogical learning and critical thinking point of view.Provides a sound literature review of the use of simulation in education.Offers plenty of examples for practical app.This textbook explores the use of simulation within the context of education and internationalization. Simulation is broken down into its phases and these elements are discussed by experts, most of whom have long tradition in the application of simulation. Simulation is treated with references to the specific needs of practitioners, educators and researchers in initiating and developing

Overview: Compiled from the lectures of the pre-eminent philosopher of France in the 1970s and 1980s.Presented as the first English translation of Michel Foucault’s 1981 lecture series.Increases access and unde.“The working hypothesis is this:  it is true that sexuality as experience is obviously not independent of codes and systems of prohibitions, but it needs to be recalled straightaway that these codes are astonishingly stable, continuous, and slow to change.  It needs to be recalled also that the way in which they are observed or transgressed also seems to be very stable and very repetiti

Then it focuses on the landslide mechanism and assessment method. It also proposes a model that assessing the hazard area based on the field investigations. Many questions, exercise

Overview: Nach US-GAAP und IAS erstellte Jahresabschlüsse besitzen aufgrund der zentralen Forderung der fair presentation einen hohen Anspruch bezüglich des Informationsgehaltes. Dennoch müssen diese Rechnungslegungsnormen einer kritischen Prüfung hinsichtlich der tatsachengetreuen Abbildung der Unternehmenslage unterzogen werden. Als bilanzpolitisches Gestaltungspotential existieren Einschätzungsspielräume und vereinzelte Wahlrechte, die eine Bildung stiller Reserven zumindest nicht ausschließen. Zudem erzwingt eine überwiegende Bewertung zu historischen Kosten bei Wertanstieg am Markt eine B

Overview: Im Mittelpunkt steht ein (spiel-)theoretisch wie auch experimentell untersuchter Finanzmarkt, dessen Preisbildungsmechanismus wohl erstmalig unter vollständiger Endogenisierung der zugrundeliegenden Fundamentalwerte geschlossen modelliert wird. Durch eine knappe, aber informative Einführung in die Grundlagen der Spieltheorie, der Kapitalmarkttheorie und experimentellen Wirtschaftsforschung wird dieser integrative Ansatz auch Lesern erschlossen, denen eine dieser Disziplinen nicht näher vertraut ist. Die Kernelemente der Arbeit - ein allgemeines theoretisches Modell realwirtschaftlich

Overview: Sedimentation as a Three-Component System describes the mostcommon stylesof deposition in marine environments as theyrelate to sediment composition.Three components, organicmatter, carbonate, and siliciclastic sediment, maysettleconcurrently, but at different rates, intermixing on the seafloor to form a particular sediment composition. A change intheflux of one component is capable of relatively dilutingor concentrating theother two components, which can beexpressed in the characteristic ratio of organic carbon tocarbonate in the resulting sediment. The basic conceptofthis book is to
