Challenging Behaviour
'Challenging' behaviours are common among people with intellectual disabilities, resulting in significantly reduced quality of life. These may include aggression, self-injury, destructiveness, hyperactivity and inappropriate social conduct. This new edition provides a concise, accessible and contemporary summary of current knowledge about challenging behaviour, drawn from psychology, psychiatry, medicine and public health. Fully updated and revised, it includes comprehensive coverage of the epidemiology and aetiology of challenging behaviours, and evidence of the efficacy and effectiveness of different approaches to intervention. This edition contains significantly expanded sections on the emergence and development of challenging behaviour and strategies for prevention, at the level of both individuals and service systems. Essential reading for students undertaking professional training in health and related aspects of intellectual disabilities, including psychologists, psychiatrists, nurses, teachers and social workers. This book is a key text for professional staff delivering health, educational and social care services to people with intellectual disabilities.

The Theory of Credit Contracts
In this book Christian Prem features new innovations on several levels. On a conceptual level he presents a complete restructuring and modularisation of the field of lending theory. On a formal level he bestows great care on providing precise definitions and promotes notational standardisation. On a technical level the development of an algorithm to solve repayment games automatically is thoroughly documented. Eventually, new theoretic results on the performance of various credit schemes are established, the quality of existing lending schemes is scrutinised and new more efficient mechanisms are presented. The content therefore inspires theorists as well as it provides well-grounded advice to practitioners in the lending industry. Altogether this thesis is a major step towards improving the quality and applicability of lending theory.
A Quantitative Liquidity Model for Banks
Christian Schmaltz identifies product cash flows, funding spread, funding capacity, haircuts, and short-term interest rates as key liquidity variables. Then, he assumes specific stochastic processes for the key variables leading to a particular liquidity model. The model is used to derive liquidity funds transfer prices and to optimally manage liquidity.

The Power of Persuasion
Lucas Haasis found a time capsule: A complete mercantile letter archive of the merchant Nicolaus Gottlieb Luetkens who lived in 18th century Hamburg. Luetkens travelled France between 1743-1745 in order to become a successful wholesale merchant. He succeeded in this undertaking via both shrewd business practice and proficient skills in the practice of letter writing. Based on this unique discovery, in this microhistorical study Lucas Haasis examines the crucial steps and activities of a mercantile establishment phase, the typical letter practices of Early Modern merchants, and the practical principles of persuasion leading to success in the 18th century.
Credit Analyst
Die Eskalation der Finanzkrise hat in kaum einem anderen Bereich so schnell Veränderungen gebracht wie in der Kreditanalyse. Die bankenaufsichtsrechtlichen Vorgaben aus Basel setzen nach der Finanzkrise neue Rahmenbedingungen für das Kreditgeschäft der Banken. Gleichzeitig haben an den Kapitalmärkten die unterschiedlichsten Kreditprodukte stark an Bedeutung gewonnen, von Unternehmensanleihen bis hin zu Verbriefungen. Die Kredit- und Kapitalmärkte wachsen im Globalisierungsprozess immer enger zusammen. Kreditrisiken müssen analysiert und gemanagt werden – in Banken ebenso wie am Kapitalmarkt, bei institutionellen wie bei privaten Anlegern. Durch mehr Professionalität schützen sich Marktteilnehmer vor den Folgen von Kreditkrisen.
