Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -In the post-truth condition, epistemic uncertainty is a key problem. If nothing can be perceived as real, true or certain, what does that mean for our ability to master our lifeworld Human's internalised relation to the existence/non-existence of a stable truth or recognisable reality inevitably influences how we deal with mediated reality as well as historical reality, and how we work to make sense of our past and present. What does this mean for understanding media, for writing history, for performing social science This is our starting point for this anthology.We demonstrate how social scientists across a broad spectrum of academic fields understand processes of reality formation. When we are discussing reality formation, we discuss reality constructions based on certain experiences, expectations, interests or political intents. We do this by showcasing new empirical studies, organised in three sections; 1) (Re)constructing On- and Offline Reality, 2) Inventing/constructing Historical Reality and 3) Making Sense of Reality when Your World is at Stake, followed by a more philosophically oriented section 4) The Philosophy of Reality Construction, where we discuss challenges to truth, reality and history science in the post-truth condition. 340 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Traditional customer journey maps miss the truth of human experience - the emotions, influences, and sudden shifts that shape how people engage with brands. CX is not about controlling the journey. It's about learning to travel with your customers through every twist, loop, and leap. Unmapping Customer Journeys introduces the 4L Framework, a revolutionary approach to understanding how customers actually move through experiences shaped by emotions, AI, neuroscience, and offstage triggers. This practical guide reveals four critical dimensions: Layers (emotional and contextual depths), Lanes (parallel paths of influence), Loops (cyclical validation behaviors), and Liminals (threshold moments of transformation). Through vivid metaphors, templates, exercises, and case studies spanning banking to SaaS, the book teaches you to map choremotion (the rhythm of feelings and actions), detect driftprints (invisible behavioral imprints), and integrate AI for adaptive, empathy-driven designs. It explores the neural drivers of choice, how AI compresses decision-making, and the complete framework for moving your organization from linear to multidimensional customer understanding. Unmapping Customer Journeys equips organizations to build human-centered journeys that grow with changing behaviors by empowering CX leaders to design adaptive systems that thrive on empathy and the depth of human complexity.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Seit geraumer Zeit befindet sich das Gebiet der Wahrscheinlichkeitstheorie in einem Zustand der Lagertrennung. Während in den empirischen Wissenschaften fast ausschließlich von statistischer Wahrscheinlichkeit die Rede ist, verstehen in der Philosophie einflussreiche Bayesianer Wahrscheinlichkeit durchweg im subjektiven Sinn rationaler Glaubensgrade, wogegen die dritte Gruppe der mathematischen Wahrscheinlichkeitstheoretiker diesen Interpretationskonflikt ignoriert. In diesem Buch wird die Auffassung vertreten, dass man beide Wahrscheinlichkeitsbegriffe benötigt, weshalb ein dualer Ansatz entwickelt wird, dem es darum geht, Brückenprinzipien zwischen beiden Wahrscheinlichkeitsbegriffen herauszuarbeiten. In Anlehnung an einen bekannten Passus von Kant lässt sich die duale Position so formulieren: Subjektive ohne statistische Wahrscheinlichkeit ist blind, statistische ohne subjektive Wahrscheinlichkeit ist leer. Die duale Position bedeutet jedoch nicht, dass alles, was in beiden Positionen behauptet wurde, übernommen werden kann - dies würde zu Widersprüchen führen. In beiden Positionen müssen gewisse Anteile fallen gelassen werden, um zu einer kohärenten dualen Wahrscheinlichkeitstheorie zu gelangen. 281 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Employee engagement is in crisis. Recent research shows that only a fraction of employees are engaged and feel genuinely connected to their work, while high levels of disengagement quietly drain productivity, innovation, and morale. Empowering Employee Engagement confronts this problem head-on, revealing that engagement isn't a perk or a program-it's a shared responsibility. This book explores the concept and measurement of the multidimensional nature of engagement-shaped by the company, leaders, teams, individual work, and customers. Drawing on global research and real-world examples, it shows how culture, trust, purpose, and growth opportunities intersect to determine whether employees thrive or withdraw.Most importantly, the book redefines engagement as an individual choice, a team effort, and a leadership responsibility. Leaders must build conditions of mutual respect, recognition, and empowerment where people and teams want-and choose-to be engaged. Yet every employee also holds the key to their own engagement, choosing to bring passion, accountability, collaboration, and transformation to their work.In a world of remote and hybrid work, quiet quitting, and AI-driven change, Empowering Employee Engagement offers a practical roadmap for individuals, leaders, and teams to reignite commitment, rebuild trust, and create workplaces globally where people choose to care-and perform-at their best for themselves, their company, and their customers.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Ancient physicians and philosophers explored how different temporal patterns interacted and overlapped. They were deeply concerned with the meaning of simultaneous events-those moments when natural, bodily, or social processes coincided in ways they considered significant. While Greek and Latin authors had no direct equivalents for what we now call 'synchronicity' or 'synchronization', both ideas permeate their reflections on health and the cosmos. This volume adopts these modern terms as a framework for examining how Greco-Roman thinkers conceptualized meaningful coincidence and the effort to align temporal cycles-between body and environment, illness and therapy, or individual and world. Spanning medicine, philosophy, astrology, and meteorology from the fifth century BCE to the sixth CE, the chapters reveal how ancient conceptions of bodily time and cosmic rhythm shaped understandings of health, gender, and disease. By tracing these interconnections, the volume opens new perspectives for scholars of ancient science, philosophy, and culture about the roles of synchrony and asynchrony in understanding and intervening in bodily processes.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -In recent decades, the division between American voters with and without a college degree corresponds more and more with a division between the Democratic and Republican parties. This book examines the impact of this growing 'diploma divide' on the makeup of the parties' coalitions, each party's policy positions, and recent political conflict.Expert scholar Joel Kersting highlights how the education divide influences voting and representation, with a mutually reinforcing feedback loop between Congress and voters. He finds that while party coalitions and positions shifted significantly on social issues like LGBTQ+ rights, abortion, and gun control economic policy stances remained static. By focusing on the removal of moderate outlier members of Congress, he provides new insights into how the education realignment contributed to shaping party dynamics and policymaking.This book offers a unique perspective on the effects of the education realignment, filling a crucial gap in understanding contemporary American politics. It is an essential read for scholars, students, and professionals who are interested in political parties, campaigns and elections, public opinion, and Congress. 178 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This volume presents seven essays that examine the ethical, cultural, regulatory, and socio-political dimensions of AI, drawing on historical, philosophical, business/computer ethics, and policy perspectives. It begins with a historical analysis of AI's origins and early debates, tracing lessons on hype, institutional influence, and the limits of replicating human intelligence. Subsequent chapters explore AI in popular culture, analyzing recurring motifs such as autonomy, surveillance, and techno-authoritarianism to reveal ethical insights and critique dystopian narratives. The volume then addresses governance challenges, evaluating the need for stronger AI regulation, the implications of U.S. policy shifts, and the strengths and limitations of the E.U.'s AI Act and California's Transparency in Frontier AI Act. Finally, it examines antitrust concerns and the ethical, economic, and societal rationale for interventions, including breaking up dominant tech firms. Collectively, the essays provide a multidimensional and interdisciplinary framework for understanding AI's promises, perils, and governance in an evolving technological landscape.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - During the last decades of the 19th century, women used the camera, still a new technological apparatus, to establish independent lives as professional photographers. Women photographers had a particularly strong position in the Nordic countries, where photography became a tool with which to attain personal, economic, and political independence. Many hired only women assistants and remained unmarried, and some lived in lifelong relationships with women partners. Moreover, these women pioneers belonged to a generation which, for the first time, had the power to define their own visual representation as well as that of other women. Through a wide range of stories about individual photographers, this book presents a counter-history to existing histories of photography, demonstrating the medium's liberating potential for women for the first time. Counter-narratives of women's independence in photographic histories Bringing to light previously unknown Nordic women photographers With contributions from leading scholars in photography studies from Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland and Iceland; Gegen Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts setzten Frauen die Kamera, damals noch ein neuer technischer Apparat, ein, um ein unabhängiges Leben als professionelle Fotografinnen zu führen. In nördlichen Ländern hatten Fotografinnen eine besonders starke Position, da sich mit Hilfe der Fotografie persönliche, wirtschaftliche und politische Unabhängigkeit erzielen ließ. Viele von ihnen stellten nur weibliche Assistenten an und blieben unverheiratet; einige lebten in lebenslangen Beziehungen mit Frauen. Diese Pionierinnen gehörten einer Generation an, die erstmals die Macht hatte, ihre eigene visuelle Darstellung, sowie die anderer Frauen, zu definieren. Durch ein breites Spektrum an Fallstudien bietet diese Publikation eine Gegengeschichte zu bestehenden Historien von Fotografie, und zeigt erstmals das befreiende Potenzial des Mediums für Frauen auf. Gegennarrative von weiblicher Unabhängigkeit in der Fotografiegeschichte Beleuchtet Leben und Werk bislang unbekannter nordischer FotografinnenMit Beiträgen führender Expert\*innen für Fotografie aus Dänemark, Norwegen, Schweden, Finnland und Island.

If nothing can be perceived as real, true or certain, what does that mean for our ability to master our lifeworld Human's internalised relation to the existence/non-existence of a stable truth or recognisable reality inevitably influences how we deal with mediated reality as well as historical reality, and how we work to make sense of our past and present. What does this mean for understanding media, for writing history, for performing social science This is our starting point for this anthology.We demonstrate how social scientists across a broad spectrum of academic fields understand processes of reality formation. When we are discussing reality formation, we discuss reality constructions based on certain experiences, expectations, interests or political intents. We do this by showcasing new empirical studies, organised in three sections; 1) (Re)constructing On- and Offline Reality, 2) Inventing/constructing Historical Reality and 3) Making Sense of Reality when Your World is at Stake, followed by a more philosophically oriented section 4) The Philosophy of Reality Construction, where we discuss challenges to truth, reality and history science in the post-truth condition.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The key Buddhist concept of non-duality is emptiness, i.e. that which is neither existence nor non-existence. The first step in formalizing Buddhist logic is to recognize that a non-duality corresponds to a contradiction in conventional logic. Although there are several well-developed logical systems available that allow contradictions and violations of the law of excluded middle, we have elected to work within the framework of the de Morgan algebra. This system is relatively simple and sufficiently flexible to allow mystical interpretation. The tetralemma is the most important instrument of Buddhist logic. It is marked by four premises: existence; non-existence; both; and neither. In this context, 'neither' corresponds to emptiness and 'both' corresponds to non-emptiness. This is a radical departure from conventional logic, because we are examining the emptiness or non-emptiness of propositions rather than sets. We proceed by identifying the four premises as four logic gates instead of four truth-values. Consequently, the four premises acquire a transcendental meaning: emptiness; non-emptiness; both; neither. In this form, 'neither' corresponds to the emptiness of emptiness and 'both' corresponds to the non-emptiness of emptiness.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Plastics, structural polymers made from monomers, are ubiquitous in modern life and have unique benefits. At their end of life, they must be reused or recycled in ways not yet implemented today. In many cases, the polymerization process can be efficiently reversed via depolymerization recycling to regain monomers at the original quality level. As such, depolymerization is a key circularity enabler for some classes of polymers, especially when crosslinked or used in composites. This book introduces the energy, CO2 emission and waste stream dimensions for recycling. It reviews the respective polymer science and introduces the processing technologies for industrial scaling. All these concepts are explored in practical examples across polymer classes and different plastics applications. The economics of depolymerization recycling are introduced, together with life cycle analysis and design for recycling. With this compact overview, a reader will understand depolymerization recycling in the necessary context of scale, sustainability and value chain thinking, towards a sustainable value chain transformation.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Locally convex cones were proposed for applications in approximation theory but have matured into a mathematical theory. The aim of this book is to offer a coherent presentation of its basic principles and later developments and to establish a consistent reference source. The build of the theory is modelled after the cone of convex subsets of a locally convex vector space. It does not satisfy the cancellation law and cannot be embedded into a vector space. The topology of the vector space leads to the definition of three cone topologies. Similar settings occur in integration theory, potential theory, and other mathematical areas. Locally convex topological vector spaces are special cases of locally convex cones. Some of the notions for locally convex cones remain close to those for topological vector spaces. The dual cone consists of all continuous linear functionals that can take infinite values. This yields a rich duality theory, including Hahn-Banach type extension and separation theorems. Other concepts, such as boundedness and connectedness, extend into different territories. This book serves as a primer for students and a reference tool for researchers.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This book serves as an advanced companion to an initial linear algebra text with a computational focus. It encompasses conventional topics such as vector spaces, linear transformations, and bases, and it delves into non-standard subjects typically encountered in abstract algebra courses such as structure theorems for linear transformations, tensor products of vector spaces, and exterior algebras. In addition, it features chapters devoted to bilinear and sesquilinear forms, inner product spaces, and the spectral theorem. However, the primary emphasis lies in demonstrating how results from an introductory linear algebra course naturally emerge when examined in a broader context. For instance, the seemingly unintuitive definition of the determinant becomes clear when explored in the context of exterior algebras. Upon completing this book and working through the exercises, readers will possess a solid foundation in advanced linear algebra. They will also gain insight into the concepts from their initial linear algebra course, equipping them for further study in any field requiring a deep understanding of linear algebra.
