The War in Bosnia
Boston, November 5, 1995 The war in Bosnia and Herzegovina is an unheard-of tragedy. Before the eyes of the entire world, a state is being destroyed, and the people (population) of a nation are suffering the genocide and ethnic cleansing. All the principles of humanity, morals, and international rules have been trampled. The question most often asked is, how could that happen today when the genocide committed during World War II is so well known (the Holocaust) and when the international community had the will and the means to protect the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina? The international community has shown that it is not the enemy of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina and that it ac...
Advancement in Business Analytics Tools for Higher Financial Performance
The relentless growth of data in financial markets has boosted the demand for more advanced analytical tools to facilitate and improve financial planning. The ability to constructively use this data is limited for managers and investors without the proper theoretical support. Within this context, there is an unmet demand for combining analytical finance methods with business analytics topics to inform better investment decisions. Advancement in Business Analytics Tools for Higher Financial Performance explores the financial applications of business analytics tools that can help financial managers and investors to better understand financial theory and improve institutional investment practices. This book explores the value extraction process using more accurate financial data via business analytical tools to help investors and portfolio managers develop more modern financial planning processes. Covering topics such as financial markets, investment analysis, and statistical tools, this book is ideal for accountants, data analysts, researchers, students, business professionals, academicians, and more.
Religion on the Battlefield
How does religion shape the modern battlefield? Ron E. Hassner proposes that religion acts as a force multiplier, both enabling and constraining military operations. This is true not only for religiously radicalized fighters but also for professional soldiers. In the last century, religion has influenced modern militaries in the timing of attacks, the selection of targets for assault, the zeal with which units execute their mission, and the ability of individual soldiers to face the challenge of war. Religious ideas have not provided the reasons why conventional militaries fight, but religious practices have influenced their ability to do so effectively. In Religion on the Battlefield, Hassn...
Krigens scenografi
Med Krigens scenografi følger vi forfatterne på deres rejser igennem Bosnien og Serbien i 2003. De er til stede ved den dramatiske anholdelse af en krigsforbryder i Beograd, og de møder en minister under Milosevic og en leder fra Sjesjels nationalistiske parti, der nu er Serbiens største. De diskuterer med forfatterne til det politiske programskrift bag krigene - det serbiske Akademis Memorandum - og de fremlægger den nyeste viden om den omfattende serbiske planlægning af den 'etniske udrensning' i Bosnien. De går bag om den bosniske præsident Izetbegovic' demokratiske facade. Var denne islamiske fundamentalist i virkeligheden - måske uden selv at fatte det - en marionet for sine se...
Contributions to Operator Theory in Spaces with an Indefinite Metric
This volume is dedicated to Heinz Langer, a leading expert in spectral analysis and its applications, in particular to operators in spaces with an indefinite metric, on the occasion of his 60th birthday. The book begins with his biography and list of publications. It contains a selection of research papers, most of which are devoted to spectral analysis of operators or operator pencils with applications to ordinary and partial differential equations. Other papers deal with time-varying systems, interpolation and factorization problems, and topics from mathematical physics. About half of the papers contain further developments in the theory of operators in spaces with an indefinite metric and treat new applications. The book is of interest to a wide audience of pure and applied mathematicians.
Indefinite Inner Product Spaces, Schur Analysis, and Differential Equations
This volume, which is dedicated to Heinz Langer, includes biographical material and carefully selected papers. Heinz Langer has made fundamental contributions to operator theory. In particular, he has studied the domains of operator pencils and nonlinear eigenvalue problems, the theory of indefinite inner product spaces, operator theory in Pontryagin and Krein spaces, and applications to mathematical physics. His works include studies on and applications of Schur analysis in the indefinite setting, where the factorization theorems put forward by Krein and Langer for generalized Schur functions, and by Dijksma-Langer-Luger-Shondin, play a key role. The contributions in this volume reflect Heinz Langer’s chief research interests and will appeal to a broad readership whose work involves operator theory.
Special Classes of Linear Operators and Other Topics
The Operator Theory conferences, organized by the Department of Mathematics of INCREST and the University of Timi~oara, are conceived as a means to promote cooperation and exchange of information between specialists in all areas of operator theory. This volume consists of a careful selec£ion of papers contributed by the participants of the 1986 Conference. They reflect most of the topics dealt with by the modern operator theory, including recent advances in dual operator algebras and the fnvariant subspace problem, operators in indefinite metric spaces, hyponormal, quasi triangular and decomposable operators, various problems in C*- and W*-algebras and so on. The research contracts of the D...
Te wapen
In Te wapen betoogt Mient Jan Faber waarom hij na decennia van pleiten voor een ontwapening in de Koude Oorlog, nu van mening is dat gewapend ingrijpen soms nodig is. Hij put hiervoor uit zijn eigen verleden als voorman van het IKV, interviews met vele betrokkenen en zijn vele (recente) reizen naar conflictgebieden als Palestina, de Balkan en de Kaukasus. Faber spaart daar Nederland en haar overheid niet. Hij spreekt over het Nederlandse onvermogen om met oorlog om te gaan en hekelt ook de neiging van de regering om een eigen waarheid te creëren die totaal niet strookt met de werkelijkheid. Mient Jan Faber (1940) was als secretaris van het IKV jarenlang het gezicht van de Nederlandse vredesbeweging. Sinds 1 april 2004 is hij bijzonder hoogleraar aan de Vrije Universiteit van Amsterdam.
Israel Gohberg and Friends
Mathematicians do not work in isolation. They stand in a long and time honored tradition. They write papers and (sometimes) books, they read the publications of fellow workers in the ?eld, and they meet other mathematicians at conferences all over the world. In this way, in contact with colleagues far away and nearby, from the past (via their writings) and from the present, scienti?c results are obtained whicharerecognizedasvalid.Andthat–remarkablyenough–regardlessofethnic background, political inclination or religion. In this process, some distinguished individuals play a special and striking role. They assume a position of leadership. They guide the people working with them through unc...
Bosnian Americans of Chicagoland
The first Bosnians settled in Chicagoland in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, joining other immigrants seeking better opportunities and better lives. As the former Yugoslavia continued to find its identity as a nation over the last century, the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina sought stability and new beginnings in the city of Chicago--many intending to return to their homeland. Today as many as 70,000 Bosnians and their descendants live in the Chicago area, representing different faiths, backgrounds, and motivations for making America their new home. Bosnian Americans of Chicagoland examines the journey of this group, its legacy, and its traditions and customs that have lasted since the first immigrants arrived a century ago.
