Global Sensitivity Analysis
Complex mathematical and computational models are used in all areas of society and technology and yet model based science is increasingly contested or refuted, especially when models are applied to controversial themes in domains such as health, the environment or the economy. More stringent standards of proofs are demanded from model-based numbers, especially when these numbers represent potential financial losses, threats to human health or the state of the environment. Quantitative sensitivity analysis is generally agreed to be one such standard. Mathematical models are good at mapping assumptions into inferences. A modeller makes assumptions about laws pertaining to the system, about its...
Waves of War
A new perspective on how the nation-state emerged and proliferated across the globe, accompanied by a wave of wars. Andreas Wimmer explores these historical developments using social science techniques of analysis and datasets that cover the entire modern world.
Social Exclusion and Labour Market Challenges in the Western Balkans
This edited volume focuses on the challenges facing the Western Balkan countries in their efforts to deal with social exclusion and social inequality while making progress in their reform efforts to join the European Union. It examines how states have failed to offer adequate social protection to those excluded from labour markets, including women, young people, and Roma ethnic minorities, a process that has driven high rates of outward migration. It also provides a detailed introduction to the main conclusions of the various contributions gathered here, and an overview of the lessons learned, which will be of direct interest to policy makers and practitioners in the field of social cohesion in the Western Balkans. The chapters of this book are revised and updated versions of papers that were first presented at a conference of the LSEE Research Network on Social Cohesion held in Skopje in 2017, comprising the latest research by leading scholars from the region.
Journeys through the Maldives
Tales from the many trips to the Maldives of the author. Avoiding the tourist resorts, he visited remote villages, where tradition is combined with innovation and technology, meeting local people and trying to understand their culture. Always island hopping by boat, he went from postcard perfect uninhabited islands and through the streets of the bustling capital Malé, in its hidden corners often overlooked by tourism. In dozens of dives, he witnessed the richness of wildlife and the sparkling colors of these seas. But the islands are facing rapid changes and serious problems, and they are not always the paradise they seem. The Maldives are at a turning point, with political, economic and environmental changes that pose difficult challenges to the government and to the nation. The book is completed by an analytical index, a chronology of the Maldivian history and a bibliography.
Lei è l'altra
Lei è l'altra. Due personaggi, una persona. Il conflitto non è all'esterno ma all'interno. Conflitto che provoca relazioni, relazioni che portano a storie, storie che portano alla storia. Ed è in questa storia che Debora Gatelli crea e inventa parti di sé, le muove come butattini con un unico cervello. Il Golem, questa volta, ha due teste, e le teste cercano di vincere una sull'altra. Una sull'altra combattono, ridono, piangono, mentono senza affrontare una verità, che, inesorabilmente, alla fine dovrà essere la vera vincitrice.
Unternehmen Schule: Organisation und Organisationsentwicklung
Die Organisation von Vielfalt und Individualität gehört zum Alltag im »Unternehmen Schule«. Parallel sind Qualität von Angeboten und Ergebnissen sicherzustellen. Ein durchdachter organisationaler Rahmen bietet den Akteuren im Umfeld Schule eine Möglichkeit, diesen Herausforderungen entgegenzutreten. Holger Lindemann führt anschaulich und praxisorientiert in Theorien und Modelle der Organisation und Organisationsentwicklung ein. Zahlreiche Umsetzungsideen und Übungen im Buch zu Themen wie Organisationsmodelle, Produkte und Märkte von Schule, Schuleffektivität als auch Qualitäts- und Changemanagement geben Impulse für die eigene Schulpraxis. Zusätzliche Ergänzung bieten Arbeitshilfen, die als digitales Downloadmaterial zur Verfügung stehen.

Die Energiewende und ihre Modelle
Wie könnte die Energiewende aussehen? Und welche Energiewende wollen wir? Die Wissenschaft versorgt uns - vielfach auf Basis von Computermodellen - mit einer Fülle von Szenarien, die mögliche Entwicklungen des Energiesystems beschreiben. Sie prägen die gesellschaftliche Debatte und dienen als Grundlage informierter Entscheidungen. Doch wie diese Energieszenarien genau zu verstehen sind und welche Schlüsse sie zulassen, bleibt oft uneindeutig. Dieser Band wirft ein neues Licht auf die wissenschaftlichen und gesellschaftlichen Ansprüche an Energieszenarien. Die Beiträge hinterfragen die wissenschaftlichen Möglichkeiten von Energieszenarien und fordern zu einem reflektierten und pragmatischen Umgang mit den so gewonnenen Erkenntnissen auf.
