"This volume is a collection of the papers presented at the first ('kick-off') meeting in ... Dornburg, near Jena (Germany), 26-28 May 2005."--Foreword.
This engaging text presents the fundamental mathematics and modelling techniques for computing systems in a novel and light-hearted way, which can be easily followed by students at the very beginning of their university education. Key concepts are taught through a large collection of challenging yet fun mathematical games and logical puzzles that require no prior knowledge about computers. The text begins with intuition and examples as a basis from which precise concepts are then developed; demonstrating how, by working within the confines of a precise structured method, the occurrence of errors in the system can be drastically reduced. Features: demonstrates how game theory provides a paradigm for an intuitive understanding of the nature of computation; contains more than 400 exercises throughout the text, with detailed solutions to half of these presented at the end of the book, together with numerous theorems, definitions and examples; describes a modelling approach based on state transition systems.
Politik und Wissenschaft möchten gegenwärtig durch Public-Health-Maßnahmen und Präventionsgesetze zur Verbesserung der Gesundheit der Bevölkerung beitragen. Zugleich bieten neue Techniken weltweit individuelle gesundheitsfördernde Apps an, die Selbstkontrolle und -optimierung stärken, aber den traditionellen Gesundheitsinstanzen Boden entziehen. Auf der Basis dieser Herausforderungen werden in diesem Band Fragen der Public-Health-Ethik diskutiert. Mit dem Blick in die Vergangenheit wird erörtert, welche Motive für die Förderung von Gesundheit existierten, welche Muster der Kontrolle von Krankheiten in den Städten und bei Epidemien vorherrschend waren, wie der Vorsorgegedanke in modernen Gesellschaften gestaltet, warum Männer als Adressaten der Gesundheitsförderung spät entdeckt wurden und wie sich der präventive Aspekt der Arbeit bei psychisch Kranken umsetzte. Zudem werden gesundheitsaufklärerische Aktivitäten in der früheren DDR und die Nutzung von Medien und Film zwischen ca. 1920 und 1970 betrachtet.

The visual constitutes an increasingly significant element of contemporary organization, as post-industrial societies move towards economies founded on creative and knowledge-intensive industries. The visual has thereby entered into almost every aspect of corporate strategy, operations, and communication; reconfiguring basic notions of management practice and introducing new challenges in the study of organizations. This volume provides a comprehensive insight into the ways in which organizations and their members visualize their identities and practices and how they are viewed by those who are external to organizations, including researchers. With contributions from leading academics across the world, The Routledge Companion to Visual Organization is a valuable reference source for students and academics interested in disciplines such as film studies, entrepreneurship, marketing, sociology and most importantly, organizational behaviour.

Proposing a relationship between Levinasian ethics and film style, and bringing it into a productive dialogue with theories of performativity, this book explores this influence through three directorial bodies of work: those of Barbet Schroeder, Paul Schrader and the Dardenne Brothers.
Renowned architect Eberhard Zeidler tells his story in a two-volume book that explores his early life in Germany and his years in Canada after he moved there in 1951. Architect of Toronto's Eaton Centre and Trump International Hotel and Tower, Zeidler has left his stamp on the urban landscape of Canada, the United States, and the rest of the world.
