In "CHECK-UP" Peter-Lukas Graf has put together a training programme which allows the flute player constantly to review and improve his technique through a range of specifically focussed basic daily exercises. A commentary is provided on each exercise, further complemented by useful tips and suggestions for additional practice material.
Interest in collective skill formation systems has been high for a long time, but recent structural economic and societal developments have led commentators to question their viability. In particular, the shift towards a knowledge economy creates a number of challenges for these highly praised systems of vocational training. These challenges relate to the growing importance of knowledge intensive production in advanced economies and with the accelerated pace of change due to innovation and globalization. What is more, these issues are compounded by coinciding developments in growing inequality and the emergence of multicultural societies. Can collective skill formation systems adapt fast eno...
New edition of classic study includes Lorenzo's three addenda and new bibliographic and biographic material.
The book examines skill systems and vocational training in a number of coordinated market economies, analysing historical origins and contemporary developments. As well as case studies on Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the Netherlands, and Denmark, it also contains comparative chapters exploring reactions to common challenges.
Zusammenfassung: This book investigates European higher education internationalisation policies during a period marked by extreme upheaval due to Brexit and the COVID-19 pandemic. Situating her analysis at the intersection of higher education research and policy studies, the author combines historical and sociological institutionalism to investigate how this time of disruption impacted higher education policies in England, France and Germany. Based on extensive qualitative data derived from expert interviews and document analysis, the study offers timely insights into dynamics of institutional change and stability in higher education governance, as well as implications for the future of cross-border education and internationalisation. The book will appeal to academics and students interested in education policy and the internationalisation of higher education. Anna P. Lohse is a postdoctoral researcher in Higher Education Studies at the Institute of Education, Technical University Berlin, Germany
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 22nd Conference on Integer Programming and Combinatorial Optimization, IPCO 2021, which took place during May 19-21, 2021. The conference was organized by Georgia Institute of Technology and planned to take place it Atlanta, GA, USA, but changed to an online format due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The 33 papers included in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 90 submissions. IPCO is under the auspices of the MathematicalOptimization Society, and it is an important forum for presenting the latest results of theory and practice of the various aspects of discrete optimization.

This volume provides a comprehensive analysis of the many different facets of the Swiss political system and of the major developments in modern Swiss politics. It brings together a diverse set of more than 50 leading experts in their respective areas, who explore Switzerland's distinctive and sometimes intriguing politics at all levels and across multiple themes. In placing the topics in an international and comparative context and in conversation with the broader scholarly literature, the contributors provide a much-needed counterpoint to the rather idealized and sometimes outdated perception of Swiss politics. The work is divided into thematic sections that represent the inherent diversit...
