Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Repetitions, sets, weights, and even the oft-cited Time Under Tension describe what you do in the gym. On their own, however, they say little about how much muscle you will build or how strong you will become. How else could one ex…plain why training philosophies that could hardly seem more opposed from Dorian Yates s brutal HIT to Serge Nubret s volume-based approach keep producing similar results This book resolves that contradiction through a biologically precise concept: the recruitment-time integral during full motor-unit recruitment, referred to here for simplicity as True Tension Time (TTT). It shows how load magnitude, rate of force development, and fatigue determine how much of a repetition actually counts toward TTT and why very different training styles ultimately converge on the same hypertrophy-relevant currency.Yet training stimulus alone is not enough. The book therefore also addresses protein nutrition. It explains why protein recommendations vary so widely by method and institution, why label values do not always match what your body can actually use, and how to determine the protein intake that best fits your aims.In addition to providing a scientific explanation of both factors, this book also offers a practical guide for direct application in everyday training. For example it represents different recruitment strategies for practical program design, model combinations, and training sessions oriented toward effective TTT. This makes the book an essential resource for training enthusiasts who want to think beyond conventional approaches and are interested in effective strength and muscle development. 176 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Pricing is a people business. What a company charges, whom it charges, when it holds firm and when it walks away: these are human decisions, shaped by judgment, incentives, conflict, and culture long before any model runs. And yet pricing… rarely has a seat at the top table. It affects everyone but is owned by no one. Too often it is reduced to a technical exercise, or in the worst cases, guesswork.Most pricing books teach you how to set prices. This book asks the harder question: whether your organization can actually execute the prices it sets. The literature is rich on method and remarkably thin on the human system that surrounds it, the ownership, structure, governance, and cross-functional collaboration across strategy, marketing, sales, product, finance, and operations that decide whether good pricing ever survives contact with the real business. This book positions the human system as its primary focus and treats pricing technique as contextual elements, not the other way around.That argument matters more, not less, in the age of AI. Algorithms can optimize prices at remarkable speed, and propagate a mistake at the same speed with far less visibility. Correct a sales rep's mispriced deal and you have fixed one deal; a mispriced algorithm reaches thousands before anyone notices. Technology raises the analytical ceiling, but human judgment, alignment, and leadership still decide who wins. Drawing on real-world cases from B2B and consumer markets, this book gives pricing professionals, commercial leaders, and general managers the frameworks to rethink and build the people-centric systems that turn pricing into durable, profitable growth. 183 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Sustainable investing has never been more influential or more contested. More than 5,000 investors controlling $140 trillion have committed to investing sustainably, yet a troubling paradox has emerged: many self-proclaimed sustainable in…vestors don't actually invest sustainably, and the real-world impact of ESG strategies is far more limited than their advocates admit.Big Money, Better World cuts through the noise. Drawing on rigorous academic research and the author's experience as Head of Sustainable Investing, the book offers an honest, evidence-based account of what sustainable investing is, how it works, and where it falls short.The culprit, the book argues, is hedgehog thinking : dominant ESG strategies that rally around a single big idea portfolio decarbonisation, ESG ratings, impact monetisation and treat it as the answer to everything. These approaches oversimplify the complex, interconnected reality of sustainable development and risk diverting capital from where it matters most.The antidote is a foxy mindset: plural, adaptive, and grounded in sustainability science. The book shows how asset allocation, active ownership, and field-building can drive genuine corporate and systemic change without sacrificing returns. It will be of interest to investors, policymakers, researchers, and engaged citizens ready to move beyond the hype. 174 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This open access volume provides a comprehensive account of the role of legal interpretation in shaping the development of law, legal reasoning, and institutional and constitutional practice. Drawing on contributions from constitutional l…aw, criminal law, civil liability, consumer protection, EU law and digital regulation, it highlights interpretation as a key mechanism through which coherence, adaptability and fairness are maintained within legal systems.Legal interpretation mediates the translation of abstract principles into concrete outcomes, supports the protection of rights and freedoms, and enables the integration of new social and technological realities into existing legal frameworks. The contributions address a range of topics, including religious freedom, government liability, undue influence in liberalities and the evolving concept of family, illustrating how interpretative approaches can influence the scope and effectiveness of fundamental rights.Several chapters examine the constitutional dimension, focusing on the Romanian Constitutional Court s use of the rule of law principle, the liability of government members and the impact of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights on domestic legal systems. Other contributions engage with criminal law, including analogy in malam partem, teleological reasoning and the relationship between legal logic, aporia and structured openness. Civil and commercial law developments are also considered through analyses of consumer contracts, tort law and SME regulation.The volume further addresses contemporary challenges, including the impact of legal tech on litigation practices, the role of expert evidence and interpretative issues related to online advertising. Throughout, it shows how interpretation operates as a bridge between relatively stable legal texts and evolving social contexts.Overall, the book demonstrates that legal interpretation is not merely a technical tool, but a central element of legal reasoning, institutional practice and democratic legitimacy. It will be of interest to scholars, practitioners and advanced students engaged with contemporary developments in law and its interaction with society and technology. 325 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Geometric Methods in Mathematical Physics I: Tensors, Special Relativity, Spinors provides a rigorous and pedagogically coherent introduction to the algebraic and geometric language used in modern mathematical physics.The book deve…lops the foundations of multilinear algebra and tensor calculus from first principles, covering dual and conjugate spaces, multilinear maps, tensor products, the universal property of tensor products, tensor algebra, abstract index notation, exterior algebra, scalar products, metric tensors, pseudo-tensors, and tensor densities. Particular attention is given to the relationship between the abstract mathematical definition of tensors and the practical index notation commonly used in physics.The text then applies these tools to group theory, representation theory, and relativistic physics. It discusses tensor products of group representations, symmetry of tensors, Grassmann algebra, pseudo-orthogonal groups, and polar decomposition. These topics prepare the reader for a geometric presentation of Special Relativity, including Minkowski spacetime, Lorentz and Poincaré transformations, relativistic kinematics and dynamics, four-momentum, conservation laws, four-force, and the stress-energy tensor for macroscopic systems.The final chapters introduce the structure of the Lorentz group, its Lie algebra, boosts and rotations, the relation between SL(2,C) and SO(1,3), and the basic theory of Weyl and Dirac spinors, including the Dirac equation.Designed for graduate students and advanced readers in mathematics, physics, and mathematical physics, the book offers a compact but rigorous bridge between multilinear algebra, tensor methods, Special Relativity, and spinorial techniques. It is suitable both as a course text and as a reference for readers seeking a solid mathematical foundation for the geometric methods of theoretical physics. 284 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Facility layout planning is a core discipline in production management, directly shaping operational efficiency, material flow, and cost structures. Despite its criticality, facility layout planning presents a complex combinatorial… problem, often approached through heuristics or metaheuristics that lack scalability and adaptability. This book investigates the use of (Deep) Reinforcement Learning (DRL) to automate and enhance layout planning by conceptualising facility layout planning as a Markov Decision Process (MDP). The author found that DRL agents trained solely through interaction feedback without domain-specific input can autonomously generate layout configurations that significantly reduce material handling costs and generalise across varying problem instances, thus demonstrating DRL's viability as a scalable and adaptive resolution technique for facility layout planning. Building on the conceptual parallel between human iterative layout adjustment and Reinforcement Learning processes, this research follows a Design Science Research paradigm of experimental artefact design. It unfolds over four peer-reviewed publications. Beyond the experimental contributions, this work opens a path toward AI-driven factory planning tools that can potentially reduce planning effort, improve layout quality, and ultimately enable more responsive and data-driven production system design in dynamic industrial environments. 180 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Exploring the complexities of individual and group behavior within dynamic, real-world environments represents an important evolution in sport science research. Especially in how perceptual action and motor behaviors are influenced… based on their coupled relationship within the environment itself and relative to the task context. This book challenges the limitations of traditional, reductionist approaches to perception-action behaviors that have caused a notable 'applied-research gap,' where research often fails to translate effectively to the dynamic and complex nature of competitive sports. Utilizing the ecological dynamics framework rooted in dynamical systems theory that conceptualizes individuals and teams as complex adaptive systems situated within their environment. The author explores human behavior as a continuous, dynamic interplay between a person's sensorimotor perceptions and action behaviors as coupled within a continuously changing environment. Through this approach he presents a more holistic and integrated understanding of how athletes and teams perceive, adapt, and coordinate their action behaviors in response to the constraints and opportunities relative to their surroundings. 45 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Energy-intensive sectors such as industry and transportation are vital to economic development, yet remain major contributors to global energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Enhancing their energy efficiency is essential… to achieving climate resilience and meeting decarbonization goals. Despite abundant operational and sensor data, decision-making in these sectors often relies on heuristics and lacks systematic, transparent, and explainable analyticalsupport. Existing Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based decision support methods frequently fall short in integrating robust data preprocessing, causal interpretation, and actionable recommendation generation, limiting their practical impact.This book develops and validates an AI-driven decision support framework to improve energy efficiency in energy-intensive industrial and transportation systems. Guided by a three-cycle Design Science Research (DSR) methodology, the framework integrates complementary AI techniques into a modular, end-to-end architecture that transforms heterogeneous raw data into interpretable, actionable recommendations. It includes systematic data quality assessment and preprocessing pipelines, time-series segmentation, clustering key performance indicators for pattern recognition, causal inference methods to identify drivers of inefficiency, and a multimodal large language model (LLM)-based decision support module that translates analytical outcomes into domain-relevant strategies. 366 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book examines how well assisted living communities are fulfilling their original mission of providing both assistance and quality of life. It also explores current and emerging practices and policies that could enhance these communit…ies' ability to deliver on this dual promise.Assisted living communities in the United States are diverse in part because they are regulated largely by states and much less at the federal level. The diversity is intended to be responsive to different resident preferences and needs, but recent studies and critique indicate that overall, assisted living may not be fully delivering on the dual objectives of 'assistance' and 'living.'The book addresses its main objective by reviewing and synthesizing academic and relevant grey literature research and information on various aspects of assisted living in the US, and presenting providers' and consumers' perspectives on each topic.To address these issues, the book's 10 chapters explore key topics central to the promise of assisted living. The authors examine how well these communities meet the needs of residents with dementia, individuals requiring mental and medical health services, and those in need of end-of-life care. They also consider broader concerns related to resident safety and quality of care. In addition, the authors examine how state regulations and workforce challenges influence the care provided in assisted living. Each chapter discusses the implications of current research, policy, and practice, and includes case studies or real-world examples whenever possible.Through this comprehensive synthesis of current research and diverse sources, as well as original contributions from assisted living providers and consumers, readers will gain an understanding of the latest findings in the field, their policy and practice implications, and the issues to consider when choosing an assisted living community.Assisted Living Through Research, Policy, and Practice is intended for researchers, policy makers, and operators of assisted living communities; it also is a useful textbook for graduate-level courses on long-term care and courses taught in health services research programs, schools of public health, programs for long-term care professionals, and healthcare management education. In addition, consumers wanting to better understand assisted living will benefit from the material in this book. 170 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The literature has highlighted the tensions between democracy and anti-corruption efforts, considering their changing meanings over time. These debates have been traversed by understandings of how to ensure appropriate connections…between the public and the private, bearing in mind some of their alternative meanings (e.g., for the public as the state, the commons, manifest or impersonal- reasonable interests). Colombia faced these debates at two critical junctures, which led Congress to pass party and anti-corruption laws in both time periods. To contribute to the understanding of these puzzling tensions, the research aimed to solve the following question: Why did Colombian legislators understand some public-private relations as adequate for Colombian democracy, while others as corrupt in the approval of the 1992-1995 and 2010-2011 party and anti-corruption laws, and why did these understandings change Solving this question required consulting the literature that has addressed the discussion points on democratization, corruption and the public-private. This, in order to guide the diachronic comparison. The sampling material was composed by the transcription of the debates in Congress that ended in the approval of the mentioned laws, following a qualitative content analysis. It was observed that the congresspeople tended to modify their emphasis of the democratic and non-corrupt: from the protection of the common to the impersonal-reasonable interests. 615 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book examined the factors that influence young people to engage in juvenile violence and delinquency. Drawing primarily on Robert Agnew's General Strain Theory (GST), the study investigated how experiences of strain contribute… to delinquent and violent behaviour among adolescents in Botswana. The application of GST was significant as it has not been previously tested within the context of Botswana, thereby addressing a notable gap in the existing literature. Prior research in Botswana indicates that many young people experience various forms of maltreatment, often originating within family environments where they may suffer physical abuse, neglect, and a lack of emotional support. Therefore, there was need to explore the relationship between adverse experiences (strains) and subsequent involvement in delinquency and violence. In addition to strain, the research also considered the influence of individual characteristics, other family background factors, and risk behaviours such as substance use. While GST provided the primary theoretical lens, supplementary explanations were drawn from masculinity, social learning, labelling, and control theories which offered a more comprehensive explanation of the study findings. The overarching aim was to identify and analyse the multifactorial determinants of juvenile delinquency and violence in Botswana. 326 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book argues for the compatibility of cosmopsychism with an orthodox Christian understanding of God. It adopts a broadly classical understanding of God in which God and the world are distinct and the key attributes of God are retained…. It thus contributes to discussions of cosmopsychism in philosophy of religion.In arguing for the compatibility of cosmopsychism with an orthodox account of Christian theism, the book serves two primary purposes. Firstly, it develops an account of cosmopsychism and theism in which God and the cosmic mind are distinct, and the cosmic mind is not divine. Secondly, in showing that cosmopsychism is compatible with a classical understanding of God, it demonstrates that cosmopsychism need not be construed as a rival to classical theism.In pursuit of these aims this book brings cosmopsychism into dialogue with several key elements of the Christian doctrine of God including the understanding of four of the divine attributes: omnibenevolence, omnipotence, omniscience, and omnipresence. The analysis seeks to dispel concerns that the cosmic mind would be a rival to God and seeks to show the unique theological merits that a cosmopsychist understanding of classical theism can yield.Cosmopsychism and the Christian Doctrine of God is essential reading for scholars in philosophy of religion, especially those focussing on the understanding of God. It is also ideal for Christian analytic theologians and for researchers in the philosophy of mind. 178 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book examines Russia s strong-state dilemma: why Russia repeatedly seeks to overcome crisis, disorder, and failed transition by rebuilding a strong state, yet keeps falling back into a cycle in which restored control does not become…stable governing capacity. It argues that post-Soviet political change should be understood not simply as failed democratization, but as a sequence of state-power loss, state rebuilding, and a new center-region balance.Focusing on Russia s 85 federal subjects from 1991 to 2022, the book draws on an original database of 400+ governors, president-governor meeting transcripts, local media, elite biographies and interviews, institutional histories, formal rules, and electoral data. It shows that Russian state rebuilding followed an uneven strategy: the state did not restore itself everywhere, at every level, or in every sphere at once, but re-entered critical regions, sectors, and institutional junctures selectively and in stages.The book identifies two linked mechanisms: the separation of governors from governance tools, and the disconnect between elite selection and governance capacity. Through Samara, Sverdlovsk Oblast, St. Petersburg, and Moscow, it shows how different regional paths gradually converged into similar center-region structures. Its central conclusion is that the future of Russian state rebuilding depends on whether the state can build formal institutions capable of effectively constraining, organizing, and guiding political elites. 341 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book provides an in-depth analysis of how companies understand and implement Human Rights Due Diligence (HRDD) within the rapidly evolving European regulatory landscape. It offers a structured examination of the Corporate Sustainabil…ity Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD), shedding light on how this landmark regulation is reshaping corporate responsibilities, governance arrangements, and day-to-day business practices. The book explores the conceptual foundations of HRDD and situates them within the broader transformation of corporate accountability for human rights in global value chains.A core contribution of the book lies in its systematic mapping of the academic debate on HRDD. Through a comprehensive systematic literature review, it identifies dominant research streams, emerging themes, and significant gaps in existing scholarship, particularly the scarcity of empirical, quantitative, and longitudinal studies assessing the effects of due diligence regulation on corporate behaviour. These issues are especially pressing as firms face increasing scrutiny from regulators, investors, and civil society, and are required to demonstrate credible and measurable commitments to human rights compliance.To address the fragmentation of HRDD research and practice, the book develops an integrated theoretical framework grounded in institutional and legitimacy theory. This framework is empirically tested using large-scale, longitudinal quantitative data, providing robust evidence on how companies respond to mandatory due diligence requirements under the CSDDD. By bridging legal, organisational, and managerial perspectives, the book delivers both conceptual clarity and practical insights into how regulatory obligations can be translated into meaningful corporate action. It is intended for scholars, policymakers, practitioners, and advanced students interested in sustainability, corporate responsibility, regulation, and human rights management. 105 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book examines the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in music education through a comparative analysis of Germany and South Korea, two countries that differ significantly in educational governance, cultural traditions…, and approaches to digital transformation, yet are closely connected through historical, economic, and academic exchange. While educational policy increasingly emphasizes AI as a key instrument for innovation, little empirical research has addressed how these expectations are negotiated within everyday music-pedagogical practice.Combining a historical-theoretical framework with an empirical, qualitative-quantitative research design, the study investigates how music teachers and AI experts in both countries perceive, implement, and critically evaluate the use of AI in music education. Methodologically, the book applies a hybrid Grounded Theory approach, drawing on large-scale teacher surveys and expert interviews. The analysis follows a multi-stage process of conceptual condensation, integrating first-order empirical findings with second-order interpretative concepts and aggregated theoretical dimensions. The results reveal pronounced discrepancies between educational policy discourse and pedagogical reality in both countries. 475 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book expands our understanding of music composed within Nazi concentration camps by shedding light on the unknown Polish composer Leon Kaczmarek, one of the most prolific yet overlooked composers persecuted by the Nazi regime. Impris…oned in the Dachau Concentration Camp from 1940 to 1945, Kaczmarek, in an unexpected turn of events, assumed the role of conductor for the German camp choir. Amidst unimaginable suffering, he composed an impressive array of works that have never previously been reconstructed, analyzed, or performed. His life and work, uncovered through extensive archival research, are unveiled here for the first time. In addition to expanding knowledge of this repertoire, this book restores Kaczmarek s historical significance, alongside that of his fellow prisoners, through the recovery and examination of their artistic works from the Nazi camps. 256 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book is the third of a series of five volumes that analyze and denounce the gender-based inequalities and violence faced by Latin American female social scientists in academic settings. This volume is dedicated to Mexico and offers a…n in-depth feminist ethnographic case study of gender-based inequalities and violence in Mexican universities, situating this national case within the broader comparative research project across Latin America.Drawing on qualitative interviews with female social scientists, systematic reviews of historical, statistical, and policy data, and reflexive methodological approaches, the volume traces how structural inequalities are produced and reproduced across life trajectories from family socialization and higher education to professional advancement. The authors analyse key dimensions shaping women s academic careers, including the sex-gender division of labor, androcentrism in scientific institutions, and the intersection of gender with class, race, and caregiving responsibilities. It documents persistent disparities in access to stable academic positions, recognition, and leadership, alongside experiences of symbolic and physical violence, harassment, and exclusion within university environments.Methodologically, the volume advances the use of feminist ethnography and the extended case method to connect individual narratives with macro-level transformations in higher education and science policy. By combining empirical accounts with critical engagement in feminist epistemology, the book highlights the ethical imperative of turning analytical attention toward inequalities within the social sciences themselves.How to Suppress the Careers of Female Social Scientists Volume 3: An Anti-manual from Mexico will be of interest to scholars in gender studies, sociology of education, anthropology, and science and technology studies, as well as readers concerned with academic labor, inequality, and institutional transformation in higher education. 248 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This volume provides an analysis of the constitution of the idea of furor poeticus (poetic frenzy), the conception of the poet as an individual inspired and possessed by a kind of divine madness.This idea, deeply rooted in the Platonic tr…adition, was conceptualized in the Renaissance by Marsilio Ficino and his followers, who spread it throughout Europe in the sixteenth century. The first part of the book offers a comparative approach to the theory of furor poeticus in little-studied Italian humanists such as Francesco Zorzi and Alessandro Farra, who combined Neoplatonism with other popular currents of the time such as Orphism or the Christian Kabbalah. The second part of the volume aims to show that there is no abrupt break between Renaissance and Romantic poetics, as is sometimes claimed, and reveals new connections between different authors of these periods.This collection thus attempts to fill the gaps in the modern Platonic tradition by comparing different cultural spheres during the sixteenth-century Renaissance and then tracing its afterlife in modern literature and poetics through some representative case studies. For these reasons, the volume is aimed primarily at scholars and researchers interested in literary theory and the relationships between religious and poetic concepts in the modern period. The target audience will find in this volume a new approach to the theological and metaphysical foundations of one of the most influential poetological concepts of modern literary culture. 287 pp. Englisch.
