Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -In diesem fesselnden Buch untersucht der Psychologe Brian Hughes, was die wissenschaftliche Psychologie über die Dynamik des Brexit enthüllt, was der Brexit uns über uns selbst lehrt und was wir tun können, um mit seinen kurzfristigen Auswirkungen und langfristigen Folgen umzugehen. Anders als die meisten kulturellen Umwälzungen ist der Brexit nicht das Ergebnis einer zufälligen Tragödie oder eines spontanen wirtschaftlichen Aufruhrs. Vielmehr existiert er, weil die Menschen beschlossen haben, ihn zu vollziehen. Er ist ein Produkt der menschlichen Psychologie - in entscheidender Weise geprägt von den Wahrnehmungen, Vorlieben, Ideen, Selbstbildern, Gruppenzugehörigkeiten und mehr oder minder begründeten Schlussfolgerungen der Menschen. Im Buch wird erörtert, wie Denkfehler und Kontrollillusionen die Sichtweisen sowohl der Leaver als auch der Remainer verzerren. Es zeigt wie ansonsten unbegründete Überzeugungen in der Alltagskultur gedeihen. Außerdem erforscht der Autor die psychologischen Auswirkungen des Brexit - auf soziale Einstellungen, Zukunftsdenken und die kollektive und individuelle psychische Gesundheit. 216 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Designed as a self-contained text, this book covers a wide spectrum of topics on portfolio theory. It covers both the classical-mean-variance portfolio theory as well as non-mean-variance portfolio theory. The book covers topics such as optimal portfolio strategies, bond portfolio optimization and risk management of portfolios. In order to ensure that the book is self-contained and not dependent on any pre-requisites, the book includes three chapters on basics of financial markets, probability theory and asset pricing models, which have resulted in a holistic narrative of the topic. Retaining the spirit of the classical works of stalwarts like Markowitz, Black, Sharpe, etc., this book includes various other aspects of portfolio theory, such as discrete and continuous time optimal portfolios, bond portfolios and risk management.The increase in volume and diversity of banking activities has resulted in a concurrent enhanced importance of portfolio theory, both in terms of management perspective (including risk management) and the resulting mathematical sophistication required. Most books on portfolio theory are written either from the management perspective, or are aimed at advanced graduate students and academicians. This book bridges the gap between these two levels of learning. With many useful solved examples and exercises with solutions as well as a rigorous mathematical approach of portfolio theory, the book is useful to undergraduate students of mathematical finance, business and financial management. 164 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book aims to help research practitioners in technology science avoid some of the most common pitfalls or at least make them easier to overcome. Many technology scientists put too little weight on how they conduct their work and should be able to become significantly better at what they do by being more aware of methodological issues. The book differs from other related works in two main respects: First, by focusing on creating, producing, or inventing new artifacts - in other words, technology science. Second, by describing a general approach to technology science linking together specialized research methods.The book consists of 14 chapters. Following the first introductory chapter are two chapters providing the foundation for the rest of the book. These chapters clarify the meaning of key concepts and describe an overall process for technology science. The subsequent chapters 4-11 are about this process. Chapters 4, 5, and 6 concern problem analysis, research planning, and hypothesis formulation. The following five chapters then aim at evaluation. Chapter 7 introduces the concept of prediction, which plays a fundamental role in evaluating hypotheses. Chapters 8-10 address the evaluation of universal, existential, and statistical hypotheses. Chapter 11 concerns quality assurance and introduces the concepts of validity and reliability. Next, in chapters 12 and 13, we address publishing with an emphasis on the specifics of technology science. Eventually the last chapter, chapter 14, briefly introduces the philosophy of science.The book systematically collects in the form of suggestions, recommendations, and guidelines the author's 35-year experience as a researcher, author and reviewer in technology science. It is written for anyone working in technology science, from master's students to researchers and supervisors. 196 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware - The bookThe E. M. Stein Lectures on Hardy Spacesis based on a graduate course on real variable Hardy spaces which was given by E.M. Stein at Princeton University in the academic year 1973-1974. Stein, along with C. Fefferman and G. Weiss, pioneered this subject area, removing the theory of Hardy spaces from its traditional dependence on complex variables, and to reveal its real-variable underpinnings.This book is based on Steven G. Krantz's notes from the course given by Stein. The text builds on Fefferman's theorem that BMO is the dual of the Hardy space.Using maximal functions, singular integrals, and related ideas, Stein offers many new characterizations of the Hardy spaces.The result is a rich tapestry of ideasthat develops the theory of singular integrals to a new level. The final chapter describes the major developments since 1974.This monograph is of broad interest to graduate students and researchers in mathematical analysis. Prerequisites for the book include a solid understanding of real variable theory and complex variable theory. A basic knowledge of functional analysis would also be useful. 264 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book revisits the life and crimes of Ted Bundy. It seeks to reconcile the contradictions and controversies about his life that underscore the broader US unsolved murder problem, one that is estimated at between 250,000 to 350,000 open, unresolved, or cold cases. The incidence of crime is far greater than is captured by official statistics; most offenses are never detected, a concept known as the dark figure of crime which is explored here.Drawing on 25 years of practitioner, research, and consultant experiences with the most violent criminals, this book offers solutions toward clearing the current backlog of unsolved murders in the United States many of which were never reported and disproportionately perpetrated by offenders like Bundy.This compelling book speaks to students, academics and readers interested in true crime, serial murder, homicide and criminal justice. 240 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The real-variable theory of function spaces has always been at the core of harmonic analysis. In particular, the real-variable theory of the Hardy space is a fundamental tool of harmonic analysis, with applications and connections to complex analysis, partial differential equations, and functional analysis.This book is devoted to exploring properties of generalized Herz spaces and establishing a complete real-variable theory of Hardy spaces associated with local and global generalized Herz spaces via a totally fresh perspective. This means that the authors view these generalized Herz spaces as special cases of ball quasi-Banach function spaces.In this book, the authors first give some basic properties of generalized Herz spaces and obtain the boundedness and the compactness characterizations of commutators on them. Then the authors introduce the associated Herz-Hardy spaces, localized Herz-Hardy spaces, and weak Herz-Hardy spaces, and develop a complete real-variable theory of these Herz-Hardy spaces, including their various maximal function, atomic, molecular as well as various Littlewood-Paley function characterizations. As applications, the authors establish the boundedness of some important operators arising from harmonic analysis on these Herz-Hardy spaces. Finally, the inhomogeneous Herz-Hardy spaces and their complete real-variable theory are also investigated.With the fresh perspective and the improved conclusions on the real-variable theory of Hardy spaces associated with ball quasi-Banach function spaces, all the obtained results of this book are new and their related exponents are sharp. This book will be appealing to researchers and graduate students who are interested in function spaces and their applications. 672 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This open access book presents an interdisciplinary approach to reveal biases in English news articles reporting on a given political event. The approach named person-oriented framing analysis identifies the coverage's different perspectives on the event by assessing how articles portray the persons involved in the event. In contrast to prior automated approaches, the identified frames are more meaningful and substantially present in person-oriented news coverage. The book is structured in seven chapters: Chapter 1 presents a few of the severe problems caused by slanted news coverage and identifies the research gap that motivated the research described in this thesis. Chapter 2 discusses manual analysis concepts and exemplary studies from the social sciences and automated approaches, mostly from computer science and computational linguistics, to analyze and reveal media bias. This way, it identifies the strengths and weaknesses of current approaches for identifying and revealing media bias. Chapter 3 discusses the solution design space to address the identified research gap and introduces person-oriented framing analysis (PFA), a new approach to identify substantial frames and to reveal slanted news coverage. Chapters 4 and 5 detail target concept analysis and frame identification, the first and second component of PFA. Chapter 5 also introduces the first large-scale dataset and a novel model for target-dependent sentiment classification (TSC) in the news domain. Eventually, Chapter 6 introduces Newsalyze, a prototype system to reveal biases to non-expert news consumers by using the PFA approach. In the end, Chapter 7 summarizes the thesis and discusses the strengths and weaknesses of the thesis to derive ideas for future research on media bias.This book mainly targets researchers and graduate students from computer science, computational linguistics, political science, and further social sciences who want to get an overview of the relevant state of the art in the other related disciplines and understand and tackle the issue of bias from a more effective, interdisciplinary viewpoint. 252 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This open access book shows how the adoption of global justice, such as eradication of female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C), has given rise to controversy, resistance, and transformation at the national, regional, and grass-roots levels in African and Asian countries where FGM/C has been practiced. It provides readers with up-to-date information about the effects of the campaign to eradicate FGM/C and the present situation of those countries, to which preceding books on FGM/C have scarcely referred. Adopting 'zero tolerance' as a policy of eradication, WHO and other UN agencies have opposed any type of FGM/C, and many African countries have criminalized the practice. Although the campaign is based on the human rights discourse which is shared globally, the controversies concerning eradication of FGM/C on the national level and the responses of communities on the local level in those countries are diverse and complicated. Various actors such as NGOs, government officials, religious leaders, medical workers, and local inhabitants are embroiled and negotiate with each other concerning its eradication.With this book, readers are provided with an in-depth analysis of the complicated controversies and responses of local communities, referring to their particular historical and social backgrounds.The book provides two chapters on FGM/C in Asian countries, where not many studies have done yet. It also presentsreaders with a study of the arguments and responses to FGM/C of African immigrants by Australian health-care professionals as well as a study of male circumcision eradication campaigns, which have been carried on in tandem with FGM/C eradication campaigns but still not have been successful.With its many elaborate case studies, this book is highly recommended to readers who seek an in-depth and up-to-date integrated overview of the FGM/C studies as well as studies on the applicability of global justice to local communities. 212 pp. Englisch.

Der globale Klimawandel ist zu einem gemeinsamen Problem für die gesamte Menschheit geworden. Eines seiner Schlüsselelemente ist die Erwärmung der Arktis, die sich auf alle Dimensionen der Natur und der Menschheit weltweit auswirkt. Der Klimawandel in der Arktis wird direkte Auswirkungen auf natürliche Ökosysteme, Küstengebiete, Wälder, Wasserressourcen, landwirtschaftliche Produktion, Viehzucht, Tourismus und andere wirtschaftliche Aktivitäten in verschiedenen Ländern rund um den Globus haben. Für die nordostasiatische Region stellt die Öffnung der Arktispassage durch das schmelzende Meereis jedoch eine Chance dar. Das derzeitige internationale Rechtssystem für die Verwaltung der Arktis ist unzureichend, um die Herausforderungen der globalen Erwärmung zu bewältigen.

Chapters 4 and 5 detail target concept analysis and frame identification, the first and second component of PFA. Chapter 5 also introduces the first large-scale dataset and a novel model for target-dependent sentiment classification (TSC) in the news domain. Eventually, Chapter 6 introduces Newsalyze, a prototype system to reveal biases to non-expert news consumers by using the PFA approach. In the end, Chapter 7 summarizes the thesis and discusses the strengths and weaknesses of the thesis to derive ideas for future research on media bias.This book mainly targets researchers and graduate students from computer science, computational linguistics, political science, and further social sciences who want to get an overview of the relevant state of the art in the other related disciplines and understand and tackle the issue of bias from a more effective, interdisciplinary viewpoint. 252 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This open access book shows how the adoption of global justice, such as eradication of female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C), has given rise to controversy, resistance, and transformation at the national, regional, and grass-roots levels in African and Asian countries where FGM/C has been practiced. It provides readers with up-to-date information about the effects of the campaign to eradicate FGM/C and the present situation of those countries, to which preceding books on FGM/C have scarcely referred. Adopting 'zero tolerance' as a policy of eradication, WHO and other UN agencies have opposed any type of FGM/C, and many African countries have criminalized the practice. Although the campaign is based on the human rights discourse which is shared globally, the controversies concerning eradication of FGM/C on the national level and the responses of communities on the local level in those countries are diverse and complicated. Various actors such as NGOs, government officials, religious leaders, medical workers, and local inhabitants are embroiled and negotiate with each other concerning its eradication.With this book, readers are provided with an in-depth analysis of the complicated controversies and responses of local communities, referring to their particular historical and social backgrounds.The book provides two chapters on FGM/C in Asian countries, where not many studies have done yet. It also presentsreaders with a study of the arguments and responses to FGM/C of African immigrants by Australian health-care professionals as well as a study of male circumcision eradication campaigns, which have been carried on in tandem with FGM/C eradication campaigns but still not have been successful.With its many elaborate case studies, this book is highly recommended to readers who seek an in-depth and up-to-date integrated overview of the FGM/C studies as well as studies on the applicability of global justice to local communities. 212 pp. Englisch.

The authors discuss the country's diplomatic performance, which was characterized by five main factors that helped Qatar to deal with the crisis successfully. These factors include the failure of the element of surprise, years of building Qatar's national brand, Qatar's arsenal of soft power, international alliances, and the opponents' quandary.This book further scrutinizes Qatar's role in the region and all questions related to this role through the lenses of its nation brand. The book provides explanations for the success of Qatar in absorbing the 'shock and awe' in the early stage of the last Gulf crisis, presenting various arguments on how establishing a nation brand helped Qatar to deal with the crisis successfully.The book follows an original approach that views the Qatari case from a scientific perspective, investigating the art of nation branding. It will appeal to students, researchers, and scholars of international relations, psychology, political science, and journalism, as well as policy-makers interested in a better understanding of soft power, nation branding, Middle East studies, and diplomacy. 104 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book examines the evolution of schooling from bureaucracy and hierarchy to post-industrial schools, and places teachers' leadership on center stage at the same time. That is, it asks teachers to deepen leadership in their classrooms and with other teachers. The book carries education and schooling from formal control to a social influence process and addresses the deeply rooted difficulty of focusing too much energy on content. It reveals the strong power of internal and external context and helps educators implant the idea of the school not as a fixed, immutable home, but as a relatively deep social process. It shows how co-leadership comes alive in schools.Communities of schooling is one of the three most critical developments in education in the last 140 years. When it is linked with the two other fundamental reorientations in schooling - 'dispersed ownership' and 'constructivist work' - it becomes the most powerful force in education since the 1700s. This book shows how communities of schooling replace the earlier pillars of 'learning as telling,' 'hierarchy of control,' and 'non-democratic influence.' The work also explains the meaning and understanding of school work as a social influence process where all school-based educators exert power, but at different levels. The idea of enhancing individual and collective capacity through interdependency, shared work, and collective responsibility is unpacked. 132 pp. Englisch.
