Hand und mittelständische Wirtschaft. Dieses Buch zeigt praxisnah und wissenschaftlich fundiert, wie das Lebenszykluskostenmanagement als strategisches Instrument zur Kontrolle und Steuerung von Kosten über den gesamten Lebenszyklus hinweg eingesetzt wird sowie welche Herausforderungen und Chancen dabei bestehen. Gerade im Verteidigungsbereich gewinnt diese Betrachtung an Bedeutung, da die Anschaffung komplexer und langlebiger Systeme nicht nur Beschaffungskosten, sondern auch erhebliche Folgekosten während der Nutzungsphase mit sich bringt. Ein systematisches und frühzeitiges Management der Kosten ist daher von entscheidender Bedeutung für die wirtschaftliche Nachhaltigkeit und Effizienz dieser Projekte.

This volume seeks to explain the notion of control artists possess, and given they are changed by the action, the…
sense in which they can claim an artwork as theirs. Standard explanations of action and agency struggle to explain various artistic practices. Requiring recourse to a prior intention, these accounts are challenged by the spontaneity of dance and musical improvisation, a painter&’s realization of an artwork, and how writers manifest meaning in a piece of writing. Furthermore, in such artistic practices, the artist is changed by the demands of the action. This interdisciplinary volume combines thirteen contributions from various artistic practices, in photography, music, dance and painting, with philosophical perspectives from post-war France to consider the changing role of the artist. This identifies what it is about an artistic practice that is creative, and how everyday occurrences can become artistic, describing the ethical and political implications of various artistic practices.

This Palgrave Pivot considers what kind of care—adequate, good or best— can be expected of primary caregivers. It is suggested that…
parents are morally obliged to promote their child&’s wellbeing, and that the care they owe to their children counts as a moral duty. But it is also argued that there is no moral obligation to supply the best possible care. A duty to provide best care would limit parents&’ own rights to an unreasonable extent. It is recognized that it is tempting to take extreme measures to promote all the interests of a child, to embrace their needs as reflected in the right to best care - such actions arise from concern and love for the child. But the case is made that certain expectations are unreasonable, such as parents staying together, and presumably being unhappy, so that a child will be more comfortable. The book&’s final chapter considers the question of state enforcement. Parents, the State, and the Care Rights of Children is essential reading for all scholars and advanced students of jurisprudence, the philosophy of law and social philosophy.

This is the most accessible guide to using statistics in Politics and IR research. Praised for being intuitive and engaging, this textbook walks you through the most common tools – from crosstabs to correlations; from multiple to logistic regression – in a way that couldn’t be more different than dull number crunching or complicated techniques.

Simply choose the relevant workbook and learn how to do your own statistical analysis with the included activities, screenshots and step-by-step instructions. This text is essential for anyone looking to become proficient in statistics: whether that’s to gain statistical literacy, to complete your thesis, to boost your value on the job market, or to become an active and informed consumer of current affairs. Why let other people explain the world to you? Matthew Loveless is an Associate Professor in the Department of Political and Social Sciences at the University of Bologna, Italy.

Dieses Buch nimmt die Enzyklika Laudato si&’ von Papst Franziskus zum Ausgangspunkt, um zentrale Fragen der ökologischen Krise und sozialen Gerechtigkeit…
neu zu beleuchten. Die Enzyklika mahnt eindringlich zur ökologischen Umkehr, ohne in Pessimismus zu verfallen – sie setzt auf Hoffnung und Vertrauen als tragende Kräfte des Wandels. Die Autoren analysieren die Herausforderungen und Chancen eines Dialogs zwischen wissenschaftlicher Rationalität und religiöser Sinnstiftung. Sie zeigen, wie Begriffe wie Hoffnung und Vertrauen – oft religiös geprägt – auch im Nachhaltigkeitsdiskurs eine zentrale Rolle spielen können. Gleichzeitig machen sie deutlich, wo Spannungen entstehen: etwa dort, wo wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse in religiösen Texten zu kurz kommen. Mit einem fundierten Blick auf beide Perspektiven eröffnet das Buch neue Wege, wie säkulares und religiöses Denken gemeinsam zu einem tieferen Verständnis von Gerechtigkeit, Freiheit und ökologischer Verantwortung beitragen können.

this person is dangerous, this one is not. The shortcuts we take mostly work well enough, because, after all, we survive. But some are deeply unjust, including racial or social class categories or other unfair stereotypes. This book will help you understand how these shortcuts work, why they exist, and how they are changing. This edition has been thoroughly revised to remove outdated content and add new information on AI and machine learning, as well as a brand new chapter on accuracy. This is not a self-help book, but it will aid you as you navigate your social world. This is not a do-good book, but it will help you make a difference in the world. This is not fiction, but it tells some good stories. Social cognition captures a remarkable range of phenomena useful to individuals and to the human condition. Susan T.

a marginalized nomadic group in India and Nepal. Chapters delve into the historical context, societal norms, and cultural dynamics that shape the identities and roles of Nat women and the challenges they face. Examining the intersectional vulnerabilities of marginalized women, this book offers a nuanced understanding of the interplay between identity, gender, caste, and religion in shaping lived realities and deepens the discourse on the complex relationship between structural inequality and identity in South Asia. It thus contributes to scholarly debates on the politics of recognition, resistance, and agency among historically oppressed groups. This book will be of interest to students and scholars in sociology, gender studies, anthropology, legal studies, human rights, dalit studies, and South Asia studies, as well as policymakers, NGOs, and social workers aiming to support the empowerment and social inclusion of Nat women.

Denn schon zu Zeiten, als es das heute so dynamische Rechtsgebiet „Medizinrecht&“ nicht einmal terminologisch gab, war er der Sache nach längst in diesem Bereich anwaltlich sowie als Autor von Fachveröffentlichungen tätig. Die Festschrift versammelt Beiträge in der ganzen Bandbreite des Medizinrechts. Sie zeugt in etwa so von „Medizinrecht von A-Z&“ wie Dr. Ratzel und sein berufliches Schaffen selbst.
