Overview: Presents accessible and informative analysis of recent developments in ethics of virtue.Collates the work of numerous authors and crosses disciplines in order to examine ethics in psychology, sociolog.This bookexplores recent developments in ethics of virtue. While acknowledging the Aristotelianroots of modern virtue ethics – with its emphasis on the moral importance ofcharacter – this collection recognizes that more recent accounts of virtuehave been shaped by many other influences, such as Aquinas, Hume, Nietzsche,Hegel and Marx, Confucius and Lao-tzu. The authors also examine the

Overview: Von verschiedenen Seiten wurde ich in den letzten Jahren aufgefordert, eine biographische Zusammenstellung meiner wissenschaftlichen Arbeiten auf­ zuschreiben, insbesondere, da ich ja durch mein Arbeitsgebiet an einer Entwick­ lung der Wissenschaft teilgenommen hätte, die sich aus dem kleinen Pflänzlein der Schwärzung der photographischen Platte durch ein Uranmineral zu dem großen Bau der Nutzbarmachung der Atomenergie entwickelt hat. Die Menschen, die die Entdeckung der Radioaktivität im Jahre 1896 unmittel­ bar mitgemacht haben, sind nicht mehr unter uns. Als ich vor 58 Jahren durc

Overview: .Collaborative Network Organizations (CNO) corresponds to a very active and steadily growing area. For instance, Virtual enterprises/Virtual Organizations (PVC) suggest new ways of work and put the emphasis on collaborative networks of human actors....Further to these main lines, other collaborative forms and patterns of collaborative behavior are emerging, not only in industry, but also in service sector, as well as governmental and non-government social organizations, e.g. the collaborative networks for rescue tasks in disaster situations, time bank organizations, etc....The concep

Overview: activity, relevant both to animals and to man. This part of our study was summarized in 1947 in the book, On the Basic Forms of Neural and Psycho­ neural Activity. Then, in the 1940‘s and 1950‘s, we carried out a multifaceted study of spatial orientation in the environment, one of the higher forms of psychic activity of vertebrates and man. In the study of spatial orientation, which is based entirely on psychic memory, we come even closer to the study of the latter. The roles of visual, auditory, vestibular, olfactory, and proprio­ ceptive receptors, and the dependence of memory on t

Overview: Over the past several decades, vanadium has increasingly attracted the interest of biologists and chemists. The discovery by Henze in 1911 that certain marine ascidians accumulate the metal in their blood cells in unusually large quantities has done much to stimulate research on the role of vanadium in biology. In the intervening years, a large number of studies have been carried out to investigate the toxicity of vanadium in higher animals and to determine whether it is an essential trace element. That vanadium is a required element for a few selected organisms is now well establish

Overview: In clear and lively prose that avoids jargon, the author carefully and systematically examines the many kinds of subtly nuanced words or word-pairs of everyday discourse such as ‘and‘-‘but‘, ‘before‘-‘ere‘, ‘Chinese‘-‘Chink‘, and ‘sweat‘-‘perspiration‘, that have proven resistant to truth-conditional explanations of meaning.978-1-349-44259-1978-1-137-26354-4

Overview: Organisational Semiotics offers an effective approach to analysing organisations and modelling organisational behaviour. The methods and techniques derived from Organisational Semiotics enable us to study the organisation by examining how information is created and used for communication, coordination and performance of actions towards organisational objectives. The latest development of the young discipline and its applications have been reported in this book, which provides a useful guide and a valuable reference to anyone working in the areas of organisational study and informatio

Overview: This book is about survival. It is about survival in a world that is changing. It is about survival in an occupation - management - that is almost unrecognizable from the viewpoint of only a few years ago, and one that will change even more rapidly in the future. It is about the ultimate survival tool: that of making oneself useful. Managers can be useful, but maybe not in the traditional sense. This book is written for managers who want to be useful by adding value to society in the form of useful products and services. It is not written for those who view personal advancement or we

Overview: Das Buch enthält zahlreiche Beispiele.Erforderliche Hilfsmittel der mathematischen Stochastik werden entwickelt.Includes supplementary material: Durch die Liberalisierung der Versicherungsmärkte in der Europäischen Union hat die Versicherungsmathematik erheblich an Bedeutung gewonnen. Dies gilt vor allem für die Schadenversicherung, die den Schwerpunkt dieses Buches bildet. Neben den zentralen Themen der Tarifierung und Reservierung wird das individuelle und das kollektive Modell für den Gesamtschaden sowie die Mathematik der Rückversicherung und der Vergleich von Risiken behandelt.

Overview: Edward Omeni draws on concepts from sociology, psychology, and social pedagogical research to examine experiences of violence among international students in Poland. His research study places particular focus on the range of strategies adopted by the students in response to forms of personal and social violence as well as the resulting forms of social exclusion and precariousness. By means of a detailed analysis of narrative accounts, the dynamics of coping with violence are theorized in the situational/social-cultural context of higher education in Poland, where aspects of intercult

The author explains how the principle of virtual work represents a tool for analysis of the mechanical effects of the evolution of the shape of a system, how it can be applied to observations and experiments, and how it may be adapted to produce predictive theories of numero

Overview: New articles in the field of mathematics education.Includes supplementary material: International mathematics education researchers give a differentiated overview of views and beliefs of both teachers and students. Beliefs about how to teach mathematics have a high impact on the instructional practice of teachers. In the same way, views and beliefs about mathematics are an essential factor to explain achievement and performance of students. The 19th MAVI conference added a variety of research perspectives to the international discussions of mathematics related beliefs. The authors of
