Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This book explores the notion of knowing-in-practice to unravel the formation of academic managers' knowing in a community university. It considers the unique socio-historical context and institutional intricacies, such as procedures, flows, and political and power structures. Knowing-in-practice implies that knowledge is dynamic, constantly in flux, and intricately linked to the capability for action within the social context. In essence, knowledge is emergent and anchored by its material context.The role of an academic manager is distinctive, involving the concurrent practice of higher education management and teaching. Hence, academic-managers are supposed to deal with a multiplicity of activities and interpersonal relationships. This work will enhance our understanding of the constitution process of academic-managers in higher education, emphasizing the perspective of knowing-in-practice. It offers insights into the learning processes and knowing associated with academic management, contributing to the improvement of university management and leadership. Further, it contributes to the advancement of organizational studies related to learning and knowing.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This open access book examines the effects of global education agendas such as digitalization, innovation and entrepreneurship, education in emergencies, globalization-internationalization, diversity, and sustainability on education reforms in several countries and regions. It explores how increasing international interaction and communication tools bring along a more intense convergence in national education policies. It emphasizes that in todays' world education politicians and experts in different parts of the world follow the global agenda more effectively and increase reform initiatives. Hence, in order to understand national education policies more deeply, it is important to pay attention to their global context. It explains that education reforms in countries are heavily influenced by both national and global agendas. Chapters in this book analyze the reflections of these global agendas on educational reforms of the country/countries chosen to focus on. Chapter authors draw attention to the impacts of reforms on several aspects of education like pedagogy, curriculum, teacher training, and educational administration.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This open access book provides fascinating insights into the incredible changes that Vietnam underwent in the long twentieth century as it transformed from an early modern kingdom to a European colony, to a divided land with opposing ideologies, and to a unified country in a globalized world. At each stage in this long century of changes, there were Vietnamese who sought to mold their society into some vision of 'modernity.' The book looks at multiple, rather than one form of modernity, and links those forms with the different political moments that Vietnam experienced, in tandem with the outside interlocutors that were maintained during those periods. As such, this book provides a holistic view of the many forms of modernity and their global links that can be found in Vietnam over the course of the long twentieth century. These multiple modernities are documented in this book, and the authors do so by bringing together the strengths of 'traditional' language-based area studies scholarship with the insights that an awareness of trans-national and global perspectives provides. Relevant to historians and researchers in the broader arena of Southeast Asian studies with a particular interest in Vietnam-its journey from past to present-this book is a must-read engagement with a country that has undergone and continues to experience, rapid transformation.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This open access book is an integrated historical and philosophical investigation of several problematic situations that emerge from diverse areas of medical practice. These include (but are not limited to):Paying less attention to patients who are suffering with symptoms because no identifiable pathological lesion or pathophysiological process can be found.Paying too much attention to patients who are not suffering with symptoms because pathological lesions or pathophysiological processes have been found.The tendency to understand patients at risk of developing pathology as being diseased.The tendency to disregard the importance of wider societal consequences of definitions of disease and health.The book shows that many of these problems are related to what disease and health are considered to be and argues that these problems can be addressed by reconsidering the concepts of health and disease employed in practice. It argues for a pragmatic reconceptualization of health and disease that allows clinicians, researchers, and lay people to understand health and disease in many ways, depending on the specific context in which they find themselves and the problems they are trying to solve. In doing so, authors are careful to show how this pragmatism does not endorse 'silly' forms of relativism, in which knowledge is reduced to belief or to whatever people find expedient to believe. This work is relevant for philosophers and historians a well as for doctors, health policy makers and other health professionals because it addresses problems sourced from medical practice, albeit using philosophical and historical methods.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This book uses sociolinguistic approaches to explore how media discourse on undocumented migration informs Morocco-Spain political relations. Historically, much of the contact between these two nations has been through conquest - first through the Umayyad Caliphate taking control of the Iberian Peninsula (then called Hispania) in the 8th century, and then through Spain's occupation of northern Morocco in the 20th century. Though these historical roots have undoubtedly played a role in shaping present-day Morocco-Spain relations, migration has also become another critical element, as the majority of legally authorized migration to Spain comes from Morocco. Additionally, Morocco serves as a sojourn for much of the undocumented migration to the Spanish autonomous cities of Ceuta and Melilla, both of which are enclaves in Morocco and common entry points for North African and Sub-Saharan African immigrants. Migration to Ceuta and Melilla has therefore become a flashpoint for anti-immigration attitudes that are frequently perpetuated in political and media discourse. The author uses these cities as a case study, situating them within the wider context of both immigration-related policies and news articles in order to examine how migration is represented in Spain and Morocco. The book connects media discourse with policy discourse, and addresses how these mediums (1) co-construct anti-immigration and xenophobic ideologies, and (2) shape and are shaped by the somewhat strained relations between Spain and Morocco. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of Discourse Analysis, Sociolinguistics, Migration Studies and Migration Policy, Media Studies and Political Communication.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This book examines the issues arising from British contested history by looking at how it came to be constructed, how it developed, and how attitudes over time have begun to change towards it. It considers how this narrative was first created through the writing of British history. It explores the private spaces of the court, the political places of the state, and the public places of the street. Beyond British shores this history has also been enacted through international heritage sites when objects were removed and taken back to Britain. Conclusively, it explores how the historic spaces of a maritime city, has further entrenched an already complex history of the nation. How this research brings new insights into this field is by looking at it through the lens of place, space, and the spatial turn. The underlining research questions are: What role does place and space play in historical constructions of the past How do place and space contribute to contested history How can these places and spaces be re-appropriated and reused, and endowed with new meanings.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This book interprets the concepts, philosophies and cultural traditions of lunli (roughly construed as 'relationships and rationality') from the perspective and domain of 'dialogue civilization.' On the conceptual level, it expounds the common reference and different tenets of the Chinese lunli and the Western 'ethic', exploring the characteristics of lunli and 'ethic' in civilization history, considering notably the difference between unification of family and state and division of the two at the embryonic stage of civilization. The book draws on the lunli-oriented culture and religion-based culture to demonstrate the difference between Chinese lunli and Western 'ethic' in their respective top design and ultimate care, by exploring the issue 'What the world would be like, if there were no lunli' for the Chinese and 'What the world would be like, if there were no God' for westerners. Since lunli is the most prominent feature of 'being Chinese', or the most symbolic and interpretative Chinese cultural concept, this pivot provides a key introduction for Western readers not only to the concept itself, but also to modern day Chinese culture.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This open access book examines the roles of municipal chief executive officers in Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden. Whilst it has long been recognised that local authorities in these countries are often more autonomous than most other local authorities around the world, we still lack an integrated overview of leadership in Nordic local government, and the development of its top administrative management. This book ameliorates this lack of knowledge by providing a thorough, extensive and updated assessment of the role of municipal chief executive officers in the five Nordic states, as well as their interactions and relations with internal and external actors. Comparative in nature, it will appeal to all those interested in local and urban governance, public administration, public management, and leadership studies.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This book is a rip-roaring manifesto that re-claims ways to think about and do 'leadership'. Colliding mobilities, neuro-queering, the arts and culture, critical leadership studies, social justice, creative pedagogy, futurity and Daoist cosmology for the first time, the book proposes 'neuro-futurism' as a beyond-colonial, heuristic change-making tool-kit for individuals and institutions. Celebrating the Dangerous, Demeaning and Dirty labour of Deviant/Defiant culture-workers often side-lined in (leadership) scholarship across 26 break-neck chapters and 39 images, this book challenges white-supremacist-cis-het-neuro-normative-capitalist-patriar chal forms of power and knowledge. Punchy, punching up and pulling no punches, it is a call to arms, feet, sole-soul, to co-create tables/houses/worlds that profit (neuro-)divergent people, planet, poetry and play. The deadline is 2050, so we're running out of time. Are you ready for an extra-ordinary adventure.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This book asks what it means to think globally about world politics. In an attempt to contextualise the recent 'globalising turn' in International Relations (IR), it takes stock of more than 30 years of efforts at addressing IR's Eurocentric limitations, and explores what 'thinking globally' means in practice through focusing on the study of (international) security and foreign policy. The authors offer thinking globally about world politics not as an alternative to, but as a critical engagement with, IR. It involves curiosity about what others think about the world, making a sustained effort to locate the knowledge they have produced, and recognising past and present contributions to what we otherwise view as 'European' ideas, practices, and institutions. Rather than focusing on abstract debates about the state of the discipline, the aim is to provide researchers with the conceptual tools to think globally and design their own research projects.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This book analyses the role of Europarties in the deepening of integration and the debates on the future of Europe. It is guided by three fundamental research questions: What strategies do Europarties utilize to advance their visions of Europe What is the relative influence of the actors in the networks of the Europarties How successful have the Europarties been in shaping the future of Europe European integration cannot be understood without accounting for the impact of the Europarties. Theoretically, the book utilizes the concepts of advocacy and agenda-setting, identifying Europarties as transnational partisan actors operating at intergovernmental and supranational levels of EU decision-making. Europarties have consolidated their organizational structures, and more importantly, have over the decades built their own networks and coalitions that enable them to wield influence in ways rarely captured by previous studies. Empirically, the book investigates the networks and positions of the Europarties, constitutional reform processes, and the role of the Europarties and their EP political groups in the broader debates on the future of Europe.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This book provides a detailed account of Julián Marías's metaphysical anthropology with the ultimate aim of offering a coherent and systematic analysis of Marías's argumentation for claiming that the conscious hope for Christian salvation through resurrection - and with it the hope that Jesus Christ did actually resurrect, and more generally the hope that Christian revelation is true - is justified not because the certainty or the likelihood that this salvation will, as a matter of fact, actually occur, but because this hope amounts to a self-affirming exercise, a conscious endorsement of human reality, and as such a sign of authenticity.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Nahrung ist überlebenswichtig - Nahrungssuche und Essen wird deswegen mit Glücksempfindungen belohnt. Wir entscheiden nicht bewusst, wann und wie viel wir essen, sondern unser Gehirn reagiert unbewusst auf Hormone und auch neuronale Signale aus dem Körper. Zwei Neurotransmitter, Dopamin und Serotonin, erklären das Wechselbad der Gefühle zwischen Vorfreude und Zufriedenheit. Sie motivieren uns zur Nahrungssuche und erlauben uns anschließend, uns satt und zufrieden anderen Dingen zuzuwenden. Schokolade ist ein gutes Beispiel, um die enge Beziehung zwischen Nahrungsaufnahme, Stoffwechsel und Glücksgefühlen nachzuzeichnen - Molekül für Molekül.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This volume is the first manual book to address fire-cracked rock (FCR) or fire-affected rock analysis, thus filling a significant gap in the market and in the existing literature. This book develops a method and theory for how FCR was used, to familiarize readers with a new approach to FCR analysis. The book provides a history and background of fire-cracked rock and leads the reader through the entire process of identifying, categorizing, and analyzing FCR and related features, from the first steps through to interpretations of function, use-alteration, fracturing patterns, experimentation, ethnographic/ethnohistoric uses, and so forth. In addition to exploring the fundamentals of FCR analysis, the book will also cover new and cutting-edge techniques.This manual is designed to walk archaeologists from step one of FCR analysis to final advanced interpretations of use. It is meant to serve as a laboratory and field guide for students and professionals, containing illustrations, photographs, and case studies in order to familiarize readers with the identification and analysis process while also providing a theoretical and methodological guide for advance academic and cultural resource management research. Thus, this book is meant to target a wide global audience and spatiotemporal range, spanning hundreds of millennia of the human experience, from paleoanthropology and the early adoption of fire through to the present.Where FCR was once simply quantified according to weight and size, this book will transform it into a significant diagnostic artifact in the study of ancient foodways and domestic life. At sites where organic preservation is poor to non-existent, and the quotidian sphere is obscure, the use of FCR to determine cooking methods and everyday life will come as a breakthrough. This will be a pioneering manual for the study of FCR, focusing on the ways practicing archaeologists can infer function from their FCR collections.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The textbook is a rarity as it explores the functions of diplomacy from a practical perspective on diplomatic activity. This in-depth study redefines diplomacy, distinguishing it from conventional definitions. While the historical context of diplomacy is briefly discussed, the spotlight then turns to six diplomatic classics: Niccolo Machiavelli, Hugo Grotius, Ernest Satow, Harold Nicolson, Henry Kissinger, and Geoff R. Berridge. Thus, their brief biographies and core diplomatic tenets are revealed. Many aspects of the theories of international relations are covered, including liberalism, realism, neoliberal institutionalism, and constructivism.Diplomatic protocol is analysed as an instrument, guiding the position of political and diplomatic representatives according to the ranking system. Practical examples abound, with illustrations of protocol rules from the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan, Australia, France, Germany, China, and Kosovo. The pivotal role of language in diplomacy is discovered as a communication tool, alongside an examination of its specific significance. It also delves into public diplomacy, exploring its evolution over the three two decades, heavily influenced by media developments. The book also focuses on the establishment of sociology of diplomacy as a new independent discipline. It sheds light on the necessary scientific research procedures, both theoretical and empirical, grounded in descriptive methodologies, understanding, and sociological explanations of the diplomatic phenomena. A crucial part of the book examines the connection between diplomacy and ethics and asserts that while states naturally pursue their interests, adherence to ethical principles must remain steadfast. Finally, gain insights into the traits and characteristics of a modern diplomat as the book draws to a close.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -In project-oriented companies, Project Management Offices (PMO) play an important, sometimes central role in aligning and efficiently directing the company's project management activities. These result in organization-specific structures with varied tasks, functions and organizational frameworks. The project management profession is subject to changes and new developments, such as agil, sustainability or new and evolving roles, which present challenges for present and future PMO. This book aims to provide a concise overview of the opportunities offered by PMO and the various implementation approaches. The fourth edition has been expanded to include information on integrating AI technologies and project governance structures, along with two additional case studies on PMO implementation.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This book explains why participation processes have gained importance for the police and how they can be successfully designed. In the future, an integrated security structure will increasingly be required, in which stakeholder groups and affected citizens play an important role in police hazard and risk assessment, and thus in shaping their context-related sense of security. The book pursues a guiding and action-oriented approach on how practical participation processes for citizens can be integrated into the planning and projects of the police. Theoretical foundations and practical application fields for the implementation of participation processes are identified: involvement in cooperation discussions for discursive conflict resolution in advance of protest situations, opinion formation through information and discursive exchange of arguments within the framework of municipal security and prevention work, or issue-related 'round tables' in the area of independent citizen and police commissioners.In a time of great uncertainty due to social change and complexity, participation processes offer the opportunity to ease strained relationships between the police and civil society and to build a mutual trust relationship. Citizen participation cannot replace sovereign action but can enrich it with everyday and experiential knowledge. In these turbulent times, there is no better recipe for jointly shaping security and addressing problems.The ContentPractical assistance and better understanding of participation processes for police workAdvantages of citizen participation at a glanceThree practical application areas(cooperation discussions in protest situations, independent citizen and police commissioners, and municipal security and prevention work) 172 pp. Englisch.
