Accelerated substantial progress regarding many fields of production and services imposes pressure upon the labor market. Employers are desperately looking for skilled workers in nearly all technological fields. All over the world this pressure reaches the national systems of vocational education and training. Along with the output orientation turn new standards are imposed, forcing firms and schools to make every endeavor to improve and remodel their programs as well as their practices to reach more and more ambitious goals. To be successful they need the results of scientific research from which they demand reliable information on methods to diagnose the state and learning progress of students and on means to foster and promote competencies of heterogeneous groups of leaners. The book offers 22state-of-the-art articles covering the central fields of vocational education and training and reporting on new and adequate ways to deal with these challenges.
The current form of modern approximation theory is shaped by many new de velopments which are the subject of this series of conferences. The International Meetings on Approximation Theory attempt to keep track in particular of fun damental advances in the theory of function approximation, for example by (or thogonal) polynomials, (weighted) interpolation, multivariate quasi-interpolation, splines, radial basis functions and several others. This includes both approxima tion order and error estimates, as well as constructions of function systems for approximation of functions on Euclidean spaces and spheres. It is a piece of very good fortune that at all of the IDoMAT meetings, col leagues and...
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 9th IFIP WG 11.8 World Conference on Security Education, WISE 9, held in Hamburg, Germany, in May 2015. The 11 revised papers presented together with 2 invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 20 submissions. They are organized in topical sections on innovative methods, software security education, tools and applications for teaching, and syllabus design.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 18th International Conference on Computer-Aided Systems Theory, EUROCAST 2022, held in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain, during February 20–25, 2022. The 77 full papers included in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 110 submissions. They were organized in topical sections as follows: Systems Theory and Applications, Theory and Applications of Metaheuristic Algorithms, Model-Based System Design, Verification and Simulation, Applications of Signal Processing Technology, Artificial Intelligence and Data Mining for Intelligent Transportation Systems and Smart Mobility, Computer Vision, Machine Learning for Image Analysis and Applications, Computer and Systems Based Methods and Electronic Technologies in Medicine, Systems in Industrial Robotics, Automation and IoT, Systems Thinking.

This is the third edition of the leading practitioner's work on freedom of information. Designed to provide in-depth legal analysis and practical guidance, this book has become the first port of call for anyone either seeking or handling requests for official information. The latest edition maintains its authorship of expert lawyers. The two years since the previous edition have seen numerous important decisions from the courts and from the Information Tribunal on freedom of information law. The learning from all these has been incorporated into the text, enabling a practitioner to see immediately all relevant cases and the principles that emerge from them.The book is logically organised so ...
Der Erfolg berufsbildungspolitischer Reformen hangt wesentlich vom Handeln derjenigen Akteure ab, die in Schule und Betrieb mit Aus- und Weiterbildung zu tun haben. Anders als fruher stehen heute weniger die Strukturen und Bedingungen dieses Handelns im Mittelpunkt der berufspadagogischen Diskussion, sondern es werden vielmehr die Motive, Bedingungen und Konsequenzen des Handelns derjenigen Menschen, die Berufsbildung zu ihrer Aufgabe gemacht haben, thematisiert. Dieser Band enthalt Beitrage zu neueren bildungspolitischen Trends und Entwicklungen fur die Bereiche der schulischen und der betrieblichen Aus- und Weiterbildung sowie fur die Lehrerbildung.
This collection of papers in honour of Juan-Carlos Simo cover subjects including: dynamical problems for geometrically exact theories of nonlinearly viscoelastic rods; gravity waves on the surface of the sphere; and problems and progress in microswimming.
Dieses Buch thematisiert die Möglichkeiten und Bedingungen der Gestaltung von betrieblicher Kompetenzentwicklung als Voraussetzung für Innovationen in Zeiten demografischen und technologischen Wandels. Welchen erneuernden Beitrag leistet Kompetenzentwicklung in Unternehmen verschiedenster Branchen? Innovation wird in diesem Buch breit gefasst: in technologischer, organisationaler und sozialer Hinsicht.
Starting in 1996, a sequence of articles appeared in the Journal of Nonlinear Science dedicated to the memory of one of its original editors, Juan-Carlos Simo, Applied Me chanics, Stanford University. Sadly, Juan-Carlos passed away at an early age in 1994. We lost a brilliant colleague and a wonderful person. These articles are collected in the present volume. Many of them are updated and corrected especially for this occasion. These essays are in areas of scientific interest of Juan-Carlos, including mechanics (particles, rigid bodies, fluids, elasticity, plastic ity, etc.), geometry, applied dynamics, and, of course, computation. His interests were extremely broad-he did not see boundaries...
