War in Ukraine. Media and Emotions
Par Agnieszka Kasińska-Metryka, Karolina Pałka-Suchojad, Agnieszka Turska-Kawa. 2023
The aim of the book is to present the war in its two versions and dimensions, i.e., the media image…
and the human factor. The choice of these two areas has not been random. Due to the situation, communication, also the one that mobilizes and shapes attitudes toward war, has moved to the Internet. From the first days of the war, pieces of information have generated various emotions, which translated into individual feelings, but also evoked broadly understood movement—in the area of spreading (dis) information and direct behavior. This movement was multi-level—we see the mobilization of people in the area of conspiracy theories, the expression of difficult emotions in memes, as well as a test of strength in the information war between Russia and Ukraine. The presentation of Volodymir and Olena Zelenski in the media also had an undeniable impact of mobilization, and their attitude built the image of heroic Ukraine from the very beginning. These and other relationships between the indicated factors are presented in the book.HaWoS – Fragebogen zur Erfassung von Glück bei der Arbeit: Manual (Manuale zu Testverfahren und Fragebögen)

Par Indrani Gupta, Mausumi Das. 2023
This book brings together contributions that explore various dimensions of the pandemic from a long-term development perspective. It also analyzes…
the existing policy responses and the gaps therein, to enable a greater understanding of how public policy – during a pandemic like COVID-19 – can be better aligned with the developmental challenges faced by individuals and households in India. Through its thirteen contributions, the book highlights the connection between the pandemic and development as deep and multilayered, and not unidirectional. It highlights how the existing inequalities and inequities in the system determined who gets impacted and to what extent, and how soon they can recover, if at all. It analyzes policies and programmes that have been implemented based mostly on the immediate pandemic crisis, and responded less to the pre-existing conditions that have shaped socio-economic outcomes. The book would be a great resource to study possible future responses to similar health disasters in a multi-cultural, multi-religion, multi-caste and multi-class melting pot like India.Computer Vision and Robotics: Proceedings of CVR 2023 (Algorithms for Intelligent Systems)

This book contains all refereed papers accepted during the 14th International Conference on Complex Systems Design & Management CSD&M 2023 that took place…
in Beijing, People’s Republic of China by the end October 2023. Mastering complex systems requires an integrated understanding of industrial practices as well as sophisticated theoretical techniques and tools. This explains the creation of an annual go-between European and Asian forum dedicated to academic researchers and industrial actors working on complex industrial systems architecting, modeling and engineering. These proceedings cover the most recent trends in the emerging field of complex systems, both from an academic and professional perspective. A special focus was put this year on “New Trends in Complex Systems Engineering.” The CSD&M series of conferences were initiated under the guidance of CESAM Community in Europe, managed by CESAMES. Its Asian version took place in Singapore for three consecutive sessions during 2014 and 2018. The fourth Asian edition was held in Beijing in hybrid with the Chinese Society of Aeronautics and Astronautics (CSAA) as the co-organizer in 2021. Since 2023, its European and Asian conferences merge into one, taking place in China and Europe in turn. CESAM Community aims in organizing the sharing of good practices in systems architecting and model-based systems engineering (MBSE) and certifying the level of knowledge and proficiency in this field through the CESAM certification. The CESAM systems architecting, and model-based systems engineering (MBSE) certification is especially currently the most disseminated professional certification in the world in this domain through more than 3,000 real complex system development projects on which it was operationally deployed and around 10,000 engineers who were trained on the CESAM framework at international level.Physical Approach to Engineering Acoustics (Mechanical Engineering Series)
Par Ronald N. Miles. 2024
This updated edition adds new material on the acoustics of mufflers and ducts, including a new analysis on sound propagation…
in a duct having a cross sectional area that varies in the direction of the duct length. The textbook retains its class-tested fundamentals of engineering acoustics and examination of in-depth concepts within the domains that apply to reducing noise, measuring noise, and designing microphones and loudspeakers. The book particularly emphasizes the physical principles used in designing miniature microphones. These devices are used in billions of electronic products, most visibly, cell phones and hearing aids, and enable countless other applications. Distinct from earlier books on this topic that take the view of the electrical engineer analyzing mechanical systems using electric circuit analogies. This text uses Newtonian mechanics as a more appropriate paradigm for analyzing these mechanical systems and in so doing provides a more direct method of modeling. Written at a level appropriate for upper-division undergraduate and graduate courses, and enhanced with end-of-chapter problems and MatLab routines, the book is ideal as a core text for students interested in engineering acoustics in ME, EE, and physics programs, as well as a reference for engineers and technicians working in the huge global industry of miniature microphone design.Handbook of Air Quality and Climate Change
Par Hajime Akimoto, Hiroshi Tanimoto. 2023
This handbook covers the air quality/air pollution from the viewpoints of causing impacts on human/ecosystem health and climate change. Traditionally,…
air pollution has been a concern mainly in terms of its impacts on human health, and it is still an immediate public and governmental concern in most Asian countries. However, in recent years so-called extreme weather events, such as stronger tropical cyclones, flooding, drought, and other phenomena, have been manifested causing tremendous losses of human lives and properties. Importantly, climate models tell us that such extreme weather events are actually induced by anthropogenic global warming. It has been pointed out that mitigation or alleviation of such climate change leading to the extreme weather events in the next 30 years can be possible only by reducing air pollutants with positive radiative forcing such as ozone or methane, which are called short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs). Here, concerns about mitigation of air pollutants from the points of human health and climate change have merged. This book covers different kinds of air pollutants and radiative forcers and how they can be measured. It also mentions the situation of air pollutants in different continents and their regional impacts to human health, environment and economy as well as their link to extreme weather events. The book presents how the air pollution and climate change can be mitigated and how clean air technologies and international initiatives for co-controlling air pollution and climate change have been developed.This book is the first to analyse the practice of governance to resolve conflict in the case of Aceh in…
Indonesia. Combining theoretical discourse on conflict, democracy, and governance, it draws from original field research on the separatist conflict, utilizing a social constructivist approach in collating observations and interviews with political elites from both the Government of Indonesia and the Aceh Independent Movement (GAM). The conflict was an intractable one in which thousand civilians were killed between 1976 and 2006. The author zooms into the 2003 and 2007 period, against the broader context of the political landscape of Indonesia under the Suharto regime. In doing so, the book tackles the challenges presented by intrastate conflicts relating to ethno-religiosity, land use, and separatism. It unpacks the Indonesian political system’s shift from an authoritarian regime to a democratic one, and demarcates the prevalence of state violence in managing conflicts, as exemplified in the Aceh separatism conflict. Relevent to political scientists and scholars in peace, conflict and development studies, this co-published book presents novel sociological insights into Indonesia’s historical, and contemporary, political landscape.On the Power and Limits of Empathy
Par Manuel Camassa. 2024
This book has two main objectives. The first is to identify and adequately describe the phenomenon of empathy. This essentially…
means offering a strong, reasoned and accurate description of the phenomenon of empathy in order to capture the essence of the empathic phenomenon and clearly distinguish it from other similar emotional phenomena such as sympathy or compassion The second part focuses on the role that this phenomenon can play on the ethical-moral level. The question is whether empathy is necessary or at least important for morality, and if so, to what extent, in what way and for what reasons. This is an open access book.Proceedings of the International Conference on Islamic and Muhammadiyah Studies (Advances in Social Science, Education and Humanities Research #773)

Par Rachel Burke, Sally Baker. 2023
This book explores questions of care in higher education. Using Joan Tronto’s seven signs that institutions are not caring well,…
the authors examine whether students and staff consider universities to be caring institutions. As such, they outline how universities systematically, structurally, and actively ‘undercare’ when it comes to supporting students and staff, a phenomenon which was amplified by the COVID-19 pandemic. Drawing on scholarly ideas from the sociology of care, higher education, social justice, and feminist critique, and in dialogue with empirical insights gathered with people who work and study in universities in Australia, South Africa, and the UK, the book questions why people care, as well as why adopting a caring position in higher education can be viewed as radical. The authors conclude by asking what we can do to counter that view by thinking carefully about the purpose, power, and plurality of care, before imagining how we can create more caring universities.Technische Maßnahmen, die es Cyberangreifern schwer machen, dienen zur Abschreckung, weil Hacker immer nur so hoch springen, wie sie müssen.…
Bei komplexen und vor allem sicherheitsrelevanten IT-Infrastrukturen reichen diese technischen Maßnahmen allein jedoch oft nicht aus.Dieses Lehrbuch betrachtet alle Aspekte der IT-Sicherheit und effektive Maßnahmen, um Angriffe zu detektieren und sich erfolgreich dagegen zu wehren. Es behandelt allgemeine Angriffsmechanismen und Angriffsszenarien, die von Angreifern angewendet werden. Dabei soll klar werden, dass es nicht ausreichend ist, Firewall-Regeln sauber zu konfigurieren oder die aktuellsten Patches einzuspielen. Vielmehr muss ein ganzheitlicher Ansatz gewählt werden, der Nutzende einschließt (Awareness) und funktionierende Prozesse für den Fall eines konkreten Angriffs etabliert. Das Buch zeigt, wo die Schwachstellen liegen, wie man sie schließt, wie man Angriffe erkennt und wie man sie erfolgreich abwehrt.Im Zuge der Globalisierung konkurrieren Unternehmen verstärkt untereinander und auch die Anzahl der Wettbewerber steigt dadurch an. Um wettbewerbsfähig zu…
bleiben, müssen Unternehmen Produkte und Dienstleistungen anbieten, die die Bedürfnisse der Kunden befriedigen. Unternehmen stehen vor der Herausforderung, wie sie Konsumenten und Interessenten als aktive Ideenlieferanten gewinnen können. Eine Möglichkeit ist die Einbeziehung und Integrierung von Nutzern auf Online-Plattformen, wobei auf die Produktideen von externen Personen zurückgegriffen wird, weshalb sich dieser Prozess durch die Crowd auslagern lässt. Nutzer, die an solchen Wettbewerben partizipieren wollen, werden gezielt als kollektive Wissensquelle für die Gewinnung von Produktideen im Innovationsprozess integriert; dieser Prozess wird als Value-Co-Creation bezeichnet. Value-Co-Creation wird sowohl in der Forschung als auch in der Managementpraxis eine hohe Bedeutung zugesprochen, da sie Unternehmen ermöglicht, potenzielle Kunden aktiv in Wertschöpfungsprozesse einzubeziehen. Für Forschung und Praxis wurden dafür ein Modell zur Aktivierung der Teilnahme an Value-Co-Creations in sozialen Netzwerken entwickelt. Hierbei wurden Co-Creators gebildet, unter Berücksichtigung der Incentivierung auf den verschiedenen sozialen Netzwerken und dem Einbezug der unterschiedlichen Arten von Value-Co-Creation-Aufgaben.Performance Analysis in Game Sports: Concepts and Methods
Par Martin Lames. 2023
This book offers a comprehensive overview on the methods and concepts of theoretical and practical performance analysis. Observational systems for…
action detection and tracking systems for position detection are introduced, starting from basic methodological principles. The issue of reliability testing is addressed for both methods, and examples of successful applications are provided.The distinction between theoretical and practical performance as essential conceptual achievement is explained in two separate chapters. Most recent theoretical models of game sports are presented, including the dynamical systems perspective, stochastic modelling, and contingency or chance as part of the game. The practical chapter introduces the concept of comprehensive performance analysis as appropriate background. It deals with qualitative methods used for assessing player and team performances, strategy development, and methods and principles of video tactic training for successful transfer of the results of analyses. The book will be of value to all with an interest in the dramatically increasing impact of performance analysis in game sports.Value Creation for a Sustainable World: Innovating for Ecological Regeneration and Human Flourishing (Palgrave Studies in Sustainable Business In Association with Future Earth)

create sustainable value for a wide range of stakeholders including nature, society, and future generations. This book defines ‘sustainable value creation’ as bringing forth products, services, organizational forms, processes, actions, and policies which satisfy real social needs and contribute to the ecological regeneration of nature. The book collects and analyzes innovative economic, business, and social models of sustainable value creation globally. It critically examines the existing mainstream models of business and financial value creation. In reviewing both traditional and sustainability-oriented models, it focuses on both the challenges and opportunities inherent in a possible shift from models based on single-stakeholder wealth creation to models that propagate multidimensional value creation. Part of the Palgrave Studies in Sustainable Business in Association with Future Earth series, this book aims to engage academics, and business and civil society practitioners to discuss innovative value creation models for a sustainable world. Interdisciplinary and intercultural exchange will be facilitated to inspire and cross-fertilize different knowledge and action fields as well as to promote intergenerational dialogue about the prospects of the human-earth system.Gesundheitsförderung und Präventionsarbeit im Pflegeheim: Praktische Umsetzung für Führungskräfte
