Bring them closer: For parents and educators (Bring Them Closer #01)
Par Connie Jakab. 2024
Our kids are not okay. The children and youth mental health crisis is at an all-time high. Anxiety and depression…
are skyrocketing. In Bring Them Closer, author Connie Jakab shares from her experience working with parents and educators with for 25 years in homes and schools, but also what she learned in her own home with a mental health crisis her family faced. She digs deeper into questions like: What does the idea "you never send the hurting away; you bring them closer" really look like? How do we create a connection with our children, so they live healed and whole? How do we see our children free of anxiety, depression, and behavioural issues? How do you support a child or student who is depressed? How do you get through to an oppositional child or student? How do you parent or teach a student with ADHD or ASD? How do you help a child or student drowning in anxiety? ?Come, Read With Me

Completely Regular Semigroup Varieties: A Comprehensive Study with Modern Insights (Synthesis Lectures on Mathematics & Statistics)
Par Mario Petrich, Norman R. Reilly. 2024
This book is a unified treatment of the most important core developments in the theory of completely regular semigroup theory as…
it stands today. This volume focuses on the lattice of varieties of completely regular semigroups. Since any in-depth study of the lattice of varieties requires an understanding of free completely regular semigroups, the book begins by describing the free object on countably infinite sets and the properties of the lattice of fully invariant congruences on the free object. The authors introduce various associated relations and operators on the lattice of varieties of completely regular semigroups. Following that, the book covers the sublattice of varieties of bands with a focus on the influence of that sublattice on the structure of the whole lattice. The book concludes with the remarkable theorem due to Polák describing the whole lattice of varieties of completely regular as a subdirect product of lattices,some of which are well understood. The authors include recent advances, insights, results, and techniques throughout the book.Städtische Mega-Projekte in China: Der Fall Hongqiao
Par Yanpeng Jiang. 2024
Dieses Buch ist die erste systematische Darstellung von städtischen Megaprojekten in China, die sich mit deren Bau, Betrieb und Planung…
befasst. Es ist eine detaillierte Untersuchung der Planung und des Baus von Hongqiao und seiner Auswirkungen auf die Anwohner. Kurz gesagt, das Ziel dieses Buches ist es, den Planungs- und Entwicklungsprozess der Verkehrs- und Handelszone Hongqiao zu untersuchen, ihre Beziehung zur Stadtentwicklung und zur räumlichen Umstrukturierung in Shanghai zu erforschen und dabei die Art des städtischen Wandels im heutigen China zu kommentieren und zu kritisieren, der als eigentums- und infrastrukturgetrieben charakterisiert wird. Städtische Megaprojekte sind wohl das Symbol des unternehmerischen Urbanismus schlechthin, und es ist kein Zufall, dass sie in der ganzen Welt, nicht zuletzt in Ostasien, zu einem vertrauten Bestandteil der städtischen Szene geworden sind. Sie können sowohl als Folge der Deindustrialisierung führender Städte, zunächst in Nordamerikaund Europa und dann in Ostasien, als Reaktion auf den Übergang der Volkswirtschaften zum globalisierten Neoliberalismus betrachtet werden. Dieses Buch bietet einen umfassenden Überblick über die Hauptmerkmale der in Hongqiao gebildeten landbasierten städtischen Wachstumskoalition, indem es das Hongqiao-Projekt im Detail vorstellt und das jüngste Beispiel des wettbewerbsorientierten Ansturms auf städtische Projekte in Chinas größten Städten skizziert, der zur Ausbreitung neuer Finanzdistrikte in Beijing und Guangzhou geführt hat.This book explores the need for innovative approaches to administrative digitization, leveraging technologies such as AI, blockchain, and smart processes…
to meet citizens' expectations, with a particular focus on the role of Chief Digital Officers (CDOs) in driving successful digital transformations within public institutions. Administrative digitization requires fresh inputs to match the leaps seen in the industry sector, utilizing technologies like AI-driven automation, blockchain transactions, and security tools. Smart process solutions are seen as transformative in upholding service standards aligned with citizens' state expectations. Unlike commercial companies, collaboration offers those overseeing public sector digitization enhanced scaling opportunities by drawing from experiences in other regions and metropolises, directly applicable and reusable. In the public realm, digital strategies mirror legal and social conditions, necessitating adjustments and adaptation options for Chief Digital Officers as they lead digital transformation. Methodological focal points in task structure redesign, process optimization, and motivating actors yield diverse action areas for the CDO's new role in public institutions. This book explores the instruments, strategies, and attitudes necessary to successfully implement transformative initiatives in organizations, emphasizing proven concepts with practical applicability, enabling readers to derive their own interaction options as digital guidance leaders. The book is a concise introduction to the specific requirements for visionary designers driving dynamic changes in user-centric public services.Trump and Hitler: A Comparative Study in Lying
Par Henk De Berg. 2024
This book compares Trump and Hitler as political performance artists. It explores their populist self-staging and rhetorical strategies and explains…
how they connected with their respective audiences. It also analyses the two men’s character, work ethic, and management style. In addition, the book addresses seemingly peripheral issues like the reasons behind Hitler’s toothbrush moustache and Trump’s hairstyle. By demystifying Hitler and Trump, the author throws new light on both of them.The Economic and Social Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic: Romania in a European Context (Contributions to Economics)

Union (EU), with a specific focus on Romania, the least developed country in the EU. The book emphasizes the need to rethink recovery models and suggests a new normal based on the pillars of economic, climatic, and social resilience. Is proposed the redefinition the policies’ mix that will allow fundamental changes in development, focused also on social and societal profit, the redefinition of productivity and environmental performance of businesses, and the rebalancing of work and leisure life. The COVID-19 crisis not only accelerated the digital transformation of society but also reconfigured the coordinates of economic development by prioritizing sustainable development for all, based on green jobs as a starting point for business innovation and decent jobs for active social protection. Following this approach, the contributions discuss selected issues with importance to the development of society in the post-pandemic world. The book is of interest to students, scholars and researchers in economics, business, management and political science, as well as to policy makers and practitioners, for a better understanding of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the labor market and the business environment in European Union.Multiplicity of Time Scales in Complex Systems: Challenges for Sciences and Communication I (Mathematics Online First Collections)
Par Bernhelm Booß-Bavnbek, Jens Hesselbjerg Christensen, Katherine Richardson, Oriol Vallès Codina. 2024
This highly interdisciplinary volume brings together a carefully curated set of case studies examining complex systems with multiple time scales…
(MTS) across a variety of fields: materials science, epidemiology, cell physiology, mathematics, climatology, energy transition planning, ecology, economics, sociology, history, and cultural studies. The book addresses the vast diversity of interacting processes underlying the behaviour of different complex systems, highlighting the multiplicity of characteristic time scales that are a common feature of many and showcases a rich variety of methodologies across disciplinary boundaries. Self-organizing, out-of-equilibrium, ever-evolving systems are ubiquitous in the natural and social world. Examples include the climate, ecosystems, living cells, epidemics, the human brain, and many socio-economic systems across history. Their dynamical behaviour poses great challenges in the pressing context of the climate crisis, since they may involve nonlinearities, feedback loops, and the emergence of spatial-temporal patterns, portrayed by resilience or instability, plasticity or rigidity; bifurcations, thresholds and tipping points; burst-in excitation or slow relaxation, and worlds of other asymptotic behaviour, hysteresis, and resistance to change. Chapters can be read individually by the reader with special interest in such behaviours of particular complex systems or in specific disciplinary perspectives. Read together, however, the case studies, opinion pieces, and meta-studies on MTS systems presented and analysed here combine to give the reader insights that are more than the sum of the book’s individual chapters, as surprising similarities become apparent in seemingly disparate and unconnected systems. MTS systems call into question naïve perceptions of time and complexity, moving beyond conventional ways of description, analysis, understanding, modelling, numerical prediction, and prescription of the worldaround us. This edited collection presents new ways of forecasting, introduces new means of control, and – perhaps as the most demanding task – it singles out a sustainable description of an MTS system under observation, offering a more nuanced interpretation of the floods of quantitative data and images made available by high- and low-frequency measurement tools in our unprecedented era of information flows.This book provides a comprehensive review on tensor algebra, including tensor products, tensor unfolding, tensor eigenvalues, and tensor decompositions. Tensors are multidimensional…
arrays generalized from vectors and matrices, which can capture higher-order interactions within multiway data. In addition, tensors have wide applications in many domains such as signal processing, machine learning, and data analysis, and the author explores the role of tensors/tensor algebra in tensor-based dynamical systems where system evolutions are captured through various tensor products. The author provides an overview of existing literature on the topic and aims to inspire readers to learn, develop, and apply the framework of tensor-based dynamical systems.This book describes the disability rights movement that started in the USA and its influence on the disability rights movement…
in Lebanon, which has led to the endorsement of the Lebanese Disability Act 220/2000. The book introduces the reader to the Lebanese Disability Act 220/ 2000, its definition of disability, and its relation to the medical and social models of disabilities and then articulate the Act articles. Then, it defines the inclusive design paradigm that acknowledges the needs of all people at each stage of their life cycle and presents the difference between inclusive design and accessibility and disability notions. Moreover, the book reviews the different international accessible design standards (American and French) that are adopted in Lebanon with the absence of a nationalized Lebanese design standard and its effect on eliminating barriers and enhancing accessibility at university buildings. Besides, the book presents students' experiences and their satisfaction with the university built environments. 6 university buildings case studies at the American University of Beirut are assessed and analysed to check whether they adopt the inclusive design approach and then propose inclusive design solutions for both heritage and modern university buildings. What makes the book unique is its combination of empirical and theoretical application of inclusive design. The last section, reflects the author’s inclusive design teaching pedagogy. In this section, the author shares samples of students’ class design project and provides recommendations and guidelines for teaching inclusive design so it becomes mainstream.Habermas between Critical Theory and Liberalism
Par Kire Sharlamanov. 2024
This book identifies the turning points in Habermas's work and his transition from one stage to another in the development…
of his theoretical oeuvre. Habermas began his academic career as part of the Frankfurt School, but the two key points at which his career changes trajectory are moving from historical materialism to normative idealism and playing with some of the ideas of liberalism. Normative idealism is an ahistorical theory that insists on the independence of the normative from material reality, severing the connection between base and superstructure that Marx wrote about. The break with the basic concepts of Marxism enabled Habermas to build his own discursive (critical) theory, which, especially since the end of the 1980s, takes the ideas of liberalism seriously. This book makes a systematic, multidimensional and detailed analysis of Habermas's theoretical oeuvre in two dimensions, chronological (in the order in which Habermas worked on certain topics) and thematic (enclosingcertain thematic units).Adversarial Multimedia Forensics (Advances in Information Security #104)

die Wissenschafterst seit kurzem entdeckt hat, ist vom Volk schon lange beobachtet worden und hat sich in Redewendungenniedergeschlagen. Könnten durch das Studium von Redewendungen psychische Vorgänge im Körper neuentdeckt werden? Welche körperlichen Vorgänge liegen so manchen Redewendungen zugrunde? Kann mandurch die Beobachtung der Sprache in die Seele der Anderen blicken? Wenn jemand sagt „du machst michkrank“, dann ist das leicht zu interpretieren. Aber was bedeutet es, wenn jemandem „etwas am Herzen liegt“oder „etwas Kopfzerbrechen bereitet“? Diesen und vielen weiteren Fragen geht der Arzt Dr. MaximilianLedochowski auf den Grund und versucht althergebrachte Redewendungen mit modernem medizinischemWissen zu erklärenHumankapitalbeiträge zur internationalen Wettbewerbsfähigkeit: Arabische Bildungs- und Wissenssysteme im Vergleich (Internationale Berufsbildungsforschung)
Par Gerald Braun, Melanie Brüchner. 2024
Als integraler Bestandteil der Weltgesellschaft ist die arabische Staatengemeinschaft in den kommenden Jahrzehnten mit präzedenzlosen Herausforderungen, aber auch Chancen konfrontiert.…
Die globalen ökonomischen Herausforderungen haben gemeinsam, dass sie nachhaltige und substantielle Investitionen in die „Ressource“ Mensch erfordern. In von Wissen getriebenen Ökonomien muss das Bildungs- und Erziehungswesen jene Kompetenzen produzieren, die notwendig sind, um in einer wissensbasierten Weltökonomie zu reüssieren. Humankapitalbeiträge gewinnen somit nicht nur für die internationale Wettbewerbsfähigkeit einer Volkswirtschaft an überragender Bedeutung – sie werden zugleich zum universalen Zugangskriterium für wirtschaftliche und gesellschaftliche Teilhabe. Die Publikation arbeitet mit Hilfe eines bildungsökonomisch adaptierten Diamant-Modells von Michael Porter den Beitrag nationaler Bildungs- und Wissenssysteme zur internationalen Leistungs- und Wettbewerbsfähigkeit arabischer Länder heraus, positioniert und vergleicht sie.MATLAB Machine Learning Recipes: A Problem-Solution Approach
