Lakes are an essential element of some of the world's most popular tourism destinations. However, increased pressure from visitors and the tourism industry as well as from other, sometimes competing, land and water uses has made the sustainable development of lakes increasingly problematic. This book represents the first attempt to bring together some of the key elements of lake tourism within a single volume in order to present the urgent need for an integrated approach to lacustrine tourism systems management.The book presents comprehensive overviews of lake tourism including branding and marketing, visitor management and planning, historical and cultural dimensions, and environmental quality. The volume is international in scope with cases from Europe, North America and Oceania. The book concludes by noting that tourism needs to be established as a complimentary land and water use at a time when lakes and their watersheds are facing challenges in the form of climate and environmental change, increasing numbers of visitors as well as an overall increase in competing demands for water.
ZŁO, KTÓREMU TRZEBA SIĘ PRZECIWSTAWIĆ LOS, KTÓREGO NIE MOŻNA UNIKNĄĆ Gdy w 1939 roku Niemcy wcielają Poznań do Trzeciej Rzeszy, Wilhelmine Günther ze spokojem obserwuje wprowadzanie nowego ładu. Oczy otwiera jej dopiero narzeczony – Polak. Antoni wie, że nowy namiestnik Rzeszy Arthur Greiser zamierza rządzić Krajem Warty żelazną pięścią. Niepokorni schodzą do podziemia i postanawiają walczyć. Franciszek Witaszek, uznany lekarz, ponad przysięgą Hipokratesa postawi przysięgę żołnierską – od tego momentu będzie nie tylko ratować życia, ale także je odbierać. Posen staje się świadkiem bezpardonowej walki o ludzkie życie, w której jedna strona chce je wy...
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Rough Sets and Knowledge Technology, RSKT 2012, held in Chengdu, China during August 2012, as one of the co-located conferences of the 2012 Joint Rough Set Symposium, JRS 2012. The 63 revised papers (including 42 regular and 21 short papers) were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on rough sets and its generalizations, rough sets in data and knowledge processing, knowledge technology, advances in granular computing (AGC 2012 workshop), decision-theoretic rough set model and applications (special session), intelligent decision making and granular computing (special session), rough set foundations (special session).

Figura Judasza od setek lat intrygowała artystów, myślicieli i literatów, którzy starali się dociec motywacji zdrajcy. Książka Wszyscy jesteśmy Judaszami zrodziła się z pytania, jak na sylwetkę Iskarioty spoglądali twórcy hebrajscy. Byli świadomi, że w świecie chrześcijańskim dwunasty apostoł jako chciwy i demoniczny wiarołomca stał się z jednej strony archetypem zdrajcy, a z drugiej – reprezentantem wszystkich Żydów. Czy podążali zatem za legendą niesławnego Judasza, czy może wprost przeciwnie – ukazywali go w lepszym świetle, tym samym dekonstruując brzemienne w skutki połączenie obrazu Żydów z nikczemnym zdrajcą? Autorka proponuje czytelnikom podr...
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 23rd Australasian Joint Conference on Rough Sets and Intelligent Systems Paradigms, RSEISP 2014, held in Granada and Madrid, Spain, in July 2014. RSEISP 2014 was held along with the 9th International Conference on Rough Sets and Current Trends in Computing, RSCTC 2014, as a major part of the 2014 Joint Rough Set Symposium, JRS 2014. JRS 2014 received 40 revised full papers and 37 revised short papers which were carefully reviewed and selected from 120 submissions and presented in two volumes. This volume contains the papers accepted for the conference RSEISP 2014, as well as the three invited papers presented at the conference. The papers are organized in topical sections on plenary lecture and tutorial papers; foundations of rough set theory; granular computing and covering-based rough sets; applications of rough sets; induction of decision rules - theory and practice; knowledge discovery; spatial data analysis and spatial databases; information extraction from images.
This volume, of a two volume set on ionic liquids, focuses on the applications of ionic liquids in a growing range of areas. Throughout the 1990s, it seemed that most of the attention in the area of ionic liquids applications was directed toward their use as solvents for organic and transition-metal-catalyzed reactions. Certainly, this interest continues on to the present date, but the most innovative uses of ionic liquids span a much more diverse field than just synthesis. Some of the main topics of coverage include the application of RTILs in various electronic applications (batteries, capacitors, and light-emitting materials), polymers (synthesis and functionalization), nanomaterials (synthesis and stabilization), and separations. More unusual applications can be noted in the fields of biomass utilization, spectroscopy, optics, lubricants, fuels, and refrigerants. It is hoped that the diversity of this volume will serve as an inspiration for even further advances in the use of RTILs.
