Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Homeopathy is over 200 years old and is still experiencing an uninterrupted influx of new practitioners and patients. Many patients and therapists swear by this 'alternative healing method', which in some countries is even financed by health insurances. This seems completely incomprehensible to critics: For them it is clearly evident that homeopathy is hopelessly unscientific and has at best a placebo effect.The positions of supporters and opponents seem to be just as immutable as they are incompatible. This book answers some essential and fascinating questions: What remains of the founding ideas of homeopathy in 21st century medicine Does it really work and, if so, how Which of the original theories can we still apply today with a clear conscience and use for the benefit of patients and the healthcare system Where does homeopathy have its limits and does it indeed need to be critically reconsidered and evaluated The author has dealt with the points of criticism for years, but at the same time also takes seriously the wishes and concerns of patients who often feel insufficiently cared for by conventional medical practice.Against the background of her own personal history, her bookattemptsto bridge the gap between these two traditionally opposing camps. 124 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Dieses essential gibt Einblicke in Ansätze, Vorgehensweisen und Ideen, wie sich Resilienz, verstanden als Widerstandskraft, im Team fördern und umsetzen lässt.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Das essential unterscheidet drei grundlegende Typen sozialwissenschaftlicher Forschungsdesigns: x-zentriert, y-zentriert und kontrastiv. Diese unterscheiden sich durch die Anzahl der betrachteten Theorien und dadurch, ob diese Theorien logisch konkurrierend oder komplementär sind. Keines der drei Designs ist den anderen eindeutig überlegen, da sie unterschiedliche Annahmen treffen und unterschiedliche Zielsetzungen verfolgen. Sie können sich deshalb sinnvoll ergänzen, auch innerhalb einzelner Studien, wenn dabei bestimmte Fallstricke beachtet werden. Das essential diskutiert die drei Designs anhand von 14 qualitativen und quantitativen Beispielstudien aus der Politikwissenschaft und den internationalen Beziehungen. 60 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This open access book presents the roles and mechanisms of signal transduction triggered by nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) stimulation in neuroprotection against toxic effects of risk factors of neurodegenerative diseases. Accumulating evidence suggests that nAChRs in the CNS play important roles not only in excitatory neurotransmission but also in neuronal survival and related functions. Neuroprotection mediated by nAChRs in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease is the major topic of this book. In response to rapidly evolving areas in clinical and laboratory neuropharmacology and neurochemistry, this volume provides in-depth coverage of neuroprotection in basic research and future developments in the clinical application of effective neuroprotective strategies in neurodegenerative diseases. This work appeals to both basic and clinical researchers in several fields, such as neuroscience, neurology, and pharmacology. 204 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This open access book offers a critical perspective on intra-European mobility and migration by using new empirical data and theoretical discussions. It develops a theoretical and empirical analysis of the consequences of intra-European movement for sending and receiving urban regions in The Netherlands, Sweden, Austria, Turkey, Poland and Czech Republic. The book conceptualizes Central and Eastern European (CEE) migration by distinguishing between different types of CEE migrants and consequences. This involves a mapping of migration corridors within Europe, a unique empirical analysis of consequences for urban regions, and an analysis of governance responses. Next to the European and country perspectives on this phenomenon, the book focuses on the local perspective of urban regions where most mobile citizens settle (either permanently or temporarily). This way the book puts the analysis of intra-European movement in the perspective of broader theoretical debates in migration studies and beyond. 276 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This open access book presents a comprehensive analysis of biofuel use strategies from an interdisciplinary perspective using sustainability science. This interdisciplinary perspective (social science-natural science) means that the strategies and policy options proposed will have significant impacts on the economy and society alike. Biofuels are expected to contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, revitalizing economies in agricultural communities and alleviating poverty. However, despite these anticipated benefits, international organizations such as the FAO, OECD and UN have published reports expressing concerns that biofuel promotion may lead to deforestation, water pollution and water shortages. The impacts of biofuel use are extensive, cross-sectoral and complex, and as such, comprehensive analyses are required in order to assess the extent to which biofuels can contribute to sustainable societies.Applying interdisciplinary sustainability science concepts and methodologies, the book helps to enhance the establishment of a sustainable society as well as the development of appropriate responses to a global need for urgent action on current issues related to biofuels.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This book compares different international responses to the internal conflicts in Syria and Yemen through an examination of the coverage each conflict has received in the media. The work explores and evaluates rival explanations for why the Syrian conflict has garnered so much more attention than the Yemen conflict and theopportunities and limitations for using international law and international humanitarian law to discuss and analyze intervention. Using this assessment, the authors discuss why this differential attention matters in terms of IR theory, humanitarian response, and policy recommendations for responding to humanitarian crises. 118 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This book explores the link between climate change and resiliency on each continent of the world. It reviews how climate change affects populations, not only through environmental exposures and health outcomes, but how people live their lives. Zolnikov brings together a set of experts to offer a novel perspective on understanding climate change vulnerability alongside adaption measures being implemented. Each chapter includes an overview on how climate change will affect that continent alongside current adaptation, mitigation, and policies that seek to improve population outcomes. As a whole, the book explores why a 'one size fits all' approach to promote climate change resiliency does not work; however, a global perspective can facilitate people learning from one another and facing climate change together. 156 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This book analyses the importance of consumer behaviour in sustainable fashion and consumption. Consumer behaviour plays a major role in sustainability, and when it comes to textile products, a number of studies have shown that for certain product categories, consumer behaviour during use and disposal stages influences the entire life cycle impacts of the product more than the raw material and manufacturing stages. However green the production, the overall sustainability of a product depends on the consumers who use and dispose of it.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This timely book focuses on influence and behavior analysisin the broader context of social network applications and social media. Twitter accounts of telecommunications companies are analyzed. Rumor sources in finite graphs with boundary effects by message-passing algorithms are identified.The coherent, state-of-the-art collection of chapters was initially selected based on solid reviews from the IEEE/ACM International Conference on Advances in Social Networks, Analysis, and Mining (ASONAM '17). Chapters were then improved and extended substantially, and the final versions were rigorously reviewed and revised to meet the series standards. Original chapters coming from outside of the meeting round out the coverage. The result will appeal to researchers and students working in social network and social media analysis. 244 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This book presents an innovative institutional transpositional ethnography that examines the textual trajectory of ¿the life of a calling script¿ from production by corporate management and clients to recontextualization by middle management and finally to application by agents in phone interactions. Drawing on an extensive original research it provides a behind-the-scenes view of a multilingual call center in London and critiques the archetypal modern workplace practices including extensive use of monitoring and standardization and use of low-skilled precariat labor. In doing so, it offers fresh perspectives on contemporary debates about resistance, agency, and compliance in globalized workplaces. This study will provide a valuable resource to students and scholars of management studies, communication, sociolinguistics, and linguistic anthropology.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Recent years have seen the increasing valuation and promotion of 'creativity'. Future success, we are often assured, will rest on the creativity of our endeavours, often aligned specifically with 'cultural' activity. This book considers the emergence and persistence of this pattern, particularly with regards to cultural policy, and examines the methods and evidence deployed to make the case for art, culture and the creative industries. The origins of current practices are considered, as is the gradual accretion of a broad range of meanings around the term 'creative', and the implications this has for the success of the wider 'Creativity Agenda'. The specific experience of the city of Liverpool in adopting and furthering this agenda both in the UK and beyond is considered, as is the persistence of a range of problematic, and often contradictory, assumptions and practices relating to this agenda up to the present day. 290 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -In diesem Buch soll gezeigt werden, was Funktionen in der Mathematik und in Anwendungssituationen leisten können bzw. sollen. Funktionen haben bekanntlich viele Gesichter, und das Thema ist im schulischen Mathematikunterricht und auch in den Lehramtsstudiengängen prominent vertreten. Da ist es natürlich besonders wichtig, dass Studierende einen angemessenen Zugang zu diesem Thema bekommen, sodass sie einen solchen auch an ihre zukünftigen Schüler/innen weitergeben können. Im Buch werden viele praktische und fachwissenschaftliche Aspekte angesprochen und miteinander vernetzt (z. B. zur Geometrie und zur Stochastik), die u. E. zu einem tragfähigen Gesamtbild von 'Elementaren Funktionen' führen, wobei sich an manchen Stellen auch fachdidaktische Betrachtungen finden. Dabei sollen weder Realitätsbezüge noch innermathematische Zusammenhänge und Begründungen zu kurz kommen. Dem nicht ganz leichten Ziel, Verständlichkeit und mathematische Exaktheit miteinander zu verbinden, wollen wir mit diesem Buch ein Stück näher kommen. Zahlreiche Aufgaben (teilweise mit Lösungshinweisen) runden jedes Kapitel ab und sollen Leser/innen zum Üben, Verstehen und Weiterdenken anregen. 396 pp. Deutsch.
