By Andreas Walmsley, Gunnar Thór Jóhannesson, Kajsa Åberg, Petra Blinnikka. 2020
Viewed through a politico-economic lens, Nordic countries share what is often referred to as the ‘Nordic model’, characterised by a…
comprehensive welfare state; higher spending on childcare; more equitable income distribution; and lifelong-learning policies. This edited collection considers these contexts to explore the complex nature of tourism employment, thereby providing insights into the dynamic nature, characteristics, and meaning of work in tourism. Contributors combine explorations of the impact of policy on tourism employment with a more traditional human resources management approach focusing on employment issues from an organizational perspective, such as job satisfaction, training, and retention. The text points to opportunities as well as challenges relating to issues such as the notion of ‘decent work’, the role and contribution of migrant workers, and more broadly, the varying policy objectives embedded within the Nordic welfare model. Offering a detailed, multi-faceted analysis of tourism employment, this book is a valuable resource for students, researchers and practitioners interested in tourism employment in the region.Satellite Navigation Systems and Technologies (Space Science and Technologies)
By Peng Li, Jun Xie, Haihong Wang, Yansong Meng. 2021
Based on the design theory and development experience of Beidou navigation satellite system (BDS), this book highlights the space segment…
and the related satellite technologies as well as satellite-ground integration design from the perspective of engineering. The satellite navigation technology in this book is divided into uplink and reception technology, broadcasting link technology, inter-satellite link technology, time-frequency system technology, navigation signal generation and assessment technology, navigation information management technology, autonomous operation technology of navigation satellite. In closing, the book introduces readers to the technological development status and trend of BDS and other GNSS, and propose the technologies of future development.Unlike most current books on this topic, which largely concentrate on principles, receiver design or applications, the book also features substantial information on the role of satellite system in the GNSS and the process of signal information flow, and each chapter not only studies on the theoretical function and main technologies, but also focuses on engineering development. Accordingly, readers will gain not only a better understanding of navigation satellite systems as a whole, but also of their main components and key technologies.Liberaldemokratie: Wohlstand zwischen Freiheit und autokratischer Führung
By Max Meyer. 2020
Noch nie ging es so vielen Menschen so gut. Wohlstand ist aber kein Naturgesetz, er muss erarbeitet werden. Dieses Buch…
will aufzeigen, welche Faktoren für den Aufstieg erfolgreicher Länder entscheidend waren. Im Vordergrund steht dabei eine liberale Wirtschaft – nicht als politisches System, sondern in Form wirtschaftlicher Spielregeln. Die Spielregeln des freien Marktes stehen politisch weder rechts noch links, denn Liberalismus und Sozialstaat sind keine Gegensätze. Das Fundament nachhaltiger Prosperität bilden Freiheit, Chancengleichheit und ein funktionierender Staat. Bedingung dafür ist eine stabile Demokratie, die nicht von einem Autokraten infrage gestellt werden kann. Zwar können erste Schritte aus der Armut autokratisch effizient erfolgen. Sobald jedoch ein gewisser Wohlstand erreicht ist, verlangen die Menschen nach Wohlbefinden – also nach Freiheit und Mitbestimmung. Nur so treiben sie die Entwicklung weiter voran. Die Beachtung der Menschenrechte ist daher entscheidend. Mit über 40 Jahren Erfahrung als Anwalt, Unternehmer und Verwaltungsrat schildert der Autor dieses Buches in klaren Worten, unter welchen Voraussetzungen der Wohlstand eines Landes nachhaltig gesichert werden kann.Smooth Manifolds (Compact Textbooks in Mathematics)
By Claudio Gorodski. 2020
This concise and practical textbook presents the essence of the theory on smooth manifolds. A key concept in mathematics, smooth…
manifolds are ubiquitous: They appear as Riemannian manifolds in differential geometry; as space-times in general relativity; as phase spaces and energy levels in mechanics; as domains of definition of ODEs in dynamical systems; as Lie groups in algebra and geometry; and in many other areas. The book first presents the language of smooth manifolds, culminating with the Frobenius theorem, before discussing the language of tensors (which includes a presentation of the exterior derivative of differential forms). It then covers Lie groups and Lie algebras, briefly addressing homogeneous manifolds. Integration on manifolds, explanations of Stokes’ theorem and de Rham cohomology, and rudiments of differential topology complete this work. It also includes exercises throughout the text to help readers grasp the theory, as well as more advanced problems for challenge-oriented minds at the end of each chapter. Conceived for a one-semester course on Differentiable Manifolds and Lie Groups, which is offered by many graduate programs worldwide, it is a valuable resource for students and lecturers alike.Proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Soft Computing and Pattern Recognition (Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing #1182)

By Caleb Heldt. 2020
This book is a critical re-evaluation of Jean-Paul Sartre’s phenomenological ontology, in which a theory of egological complicity and self-deception…
informing his later better known theory of bad faith is developed. This novel reinterpretation offers a systematic challenge to orthodox apprehensions of Sartre’s conceputualization of transcendental consciousness and the role that the ego plays within his account of pre-reflective consciousness. Heldt persuasively demonstrates how an adequate comprehension of Sartre’s theories of negation and reflection can reveal the world as it appears to human consciousness as one in which our reality is capable of becoming littered with illusions. As the foundation upon which the rest of Sartre’s philosophical project is built, it is essential that the phenomenological ontology of Sartre’s early writings be interpreted with clarity. This book provides such a reinterpretation. In doing so, a philosophical inquiry emerges which is genuinely contemporary in its aim and scope and which seeks to demonstrate the significance of Sartre’s thought, not only as significant to the history of philosophy, but to ongoing debates in continental philosophy and philosophy of mind.Innovationsförderndes Human Resource Management: Grundlagen, Modelle und Praxis

begins with a chapter on variants of pancreatic cancer, precursor lesions and groups of people at risk to developing the disease. There is a particular focus on intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasia as a large-scale clinical challenge in pancreatology. The next two parts focus on diagnosis, biomarkers and stratification that emphasize how various approaches to biomarker development are important as both prognostic and predictive tools. The final part consists of personalized treatment approaches that include preclinical models of pancreatic cancer and stromal, epigenetic and metabolism targeting as promising approaches to be translated into early phase clinical trials. Chapters within this part also deal with approaches that are close to being implemented in clinical practice or are already being tested in (early) clinical trials, such as those that targeting the immune systems and strategies to overcome immunotherapy resistance; phase 1 clinical trials and translational approaches in surgical treatment. Written by experts in their fields, Translational Pancreatic Cancer Research provides an outlook towards future directions by integrating information both from basic and clinical research and though demonstrating pathways to better understanding pancreatic cancer and current approaches to translating these into clinical practice.M&A-Transaktionen sind deutlich komplexere Vorgänge als der bloße Kauf und Verkauf von Gütern - da können KMU schnell in unbekanntes…

By Barbara Schöning. 2015
Considered to be sub-ordinated and sub-prime to the city, sub-urban areas receive little attention by researchers and designers. However, it's…
the rapidly growing areas outside the central cities that pose the biggest questions of the urban millennium: How can the scattered patchwork of urban areas and social spaces linked by networks of highways and public transportation function as a sustainable and livable urban environment? Answering this question requires understanding suburban spaces as heterogeneous urban areas with distinct local characteristics, qualities, and problems. Following this path, Variations of Suburbanism explores formation, characteristics, and trends of suburban areas all over the world. It provides insights on common features and differences of suburban governance, design, and infrastructure and discusses strategies to understand and design suburban areas in an increasingly sub-urbanizing world.Who Will Govern the New World—the Present and Future of the G20

By Conrad Kunze, Sören Becker. 2015
This book offers a comprehensive and detailed overview of successful renewable energy projects in the European Union. After the decision…
of several European governments to change energy policies in favor of renewable energy sources, the number of nuclear power plants as well as overall coal production have decreased significantly already. Conrad Kunze and Sören Becker present recent energy projects that have successfully managed the change towards sustainable energy while functioning within local economies and adhering to the principles of participation, collective property, and ecologic awareness. Using a selection of 15 examples, the authors showcase the already existing parallel universe of 'small alternatives' and argue that, if used properly, renewable energy projects can not only lead the way in the fight against climate change but facilitate societal change on an even larger scale.When Stereotype Meets Prejudice: Antiziganism in European Societies
By Timofey Agarin. 2014
Antiziganism is a widespread phenomenon in all European societies. Poor or rich, 'postcommunist' or 'traditional', North or South, with 'lean'…
or 'thick' welfare systems?all European societies demonstrate antiziganist prejudice. All across Europe Romanis are among the poorest, most destitute, and most excluded communities. Widespread prejudice and stereotypical representations of Romani individuals limit their chances for participation in democratic decision making processes and their access to services. Unable to counteract majority stereotypes systematically, more often than not they remain on the fringes of society. This edited volume asks where these stereotypes and prejudices come from, why they are ubiquitous to all societies, and how pertinent their impact on antiziganist attitudes found in European societies really is.
