Overview: Offers a comprehensive definition of self-management, and focuses on young people achieving a good quality of life and their maximum potential.Focuses on the challenges that young people with differen.This book focuses on young people (12-25 years old) growing up with a chronic somatic condition and/or physical disability, facing different challenges during their transition to adulthood and to adult healthcare services. Becoming an adult often proves extra challenging for them, because the adaptive tasks related to living with a chronic condition can clash with developmental mileston

Overview: Stalin‘s fascination with writers was fully reciprocated as the many ‘Odes to Stalin‘ show. During the 1970s a hugely elaborated system was established for the regulation of belles-lettres based on institutions, ideas and individuals. This original study, ten years in preparation, is based on extensive access to Soviet archives. Much new evidence has been uncovered about the inner workings of cultural policy in the Stalin period and documents by Stalin himself are published for the first time.978-1-349-21447-1

Overview: Seeks to broaden understanding of art historical praxis to look beyond academic publication towards alternative approaches.Includes contributions from individuals who play various roles in the art wor.What is socially engaged art history? Art history is typically understood as a discipline in which academics produce scholarship for consumption by other academics. Today however, an increasing number of art historians are seeking to broaden their understanding of art historical praxis and look beyond the academy and towards socially engaged art history. This is the first book-length st

Overview: ?Wir leben in einer Gesellschaft von Selbstverwirklichungssubjekten. Dem sp?tmodernen Individuum wird Selbstbestimmung versprochen, w?hrend es zur Selbstoptimierung angehalten wird. Dieser Trend h?lt auch in der P?dagogik Einzug: Das Bildungsideal der Selbstorganisation verdr?ngt den Gedanken der Sozialintegration. An den Grenzen dieses Narrativs kommt die Grundfrage der Sozialp?dagogik, wie Individualisierung und Gemeinsinn zusammengedacht werden k?nnen, neu auf und verlangt nach einer p?dagogischen Lesart von Selbstverwirklichung. Ausgehend von dieser Fragestellung folgt die Arbeit

In particular, it describes acomprehensive and unique set of full-scale tests designed to assess such behavior.The tests performed include cyclic tests of full-scale rack components, namelybeam-to-upright connections and column base connect

Overview: Explores school memory from individual, collective and public perspectives.Offers a range of methodological criteria for the proper exegesis of sources.Illustrates how the school of yesteryear is depi.This book reveals how school memories offer not only a tool for accessing the school of the past, but also a key to understanding what people today know (or think they know) about the school of the past. It describes, in fact, how historians’ work does not purely and simply consist in exploring school as it really was, but also in the complex process of defining the memory of school as

Overview: Provides a topical, comprehensive, and theoretically–informed analysis of the integration and synergy between smart cities and sustainable cities.Amalgamates the novel applications of big data analyti.This book is intended to help explore the field of smart sustainable cities in its complexity, heterogeneity, and breadth, the many faces of a topical subject of major importance for the future that encompasses so much of modern urban life in an increasingly computerized and urbanized world. Indeed, sustainable urban development is currently at the center of debate in light of several I

Overview: Unifies the two approaches to the topic of missing data.Missing data arise in almost all scientific disciplines. In many cases, the treatment of missing data in an analysis is carried out in a casual and ad-hoc manner, leading, in many cases, to invalid inference and erroneous conclusions. In the past 20 years or so, there has been a serious attempt to understand the underlying issues and difficulties that come about from missing data and their impact on subsequent analysis. There has been a great deal written on the theory developed for analyzing missing data for finite-dimensional

The monograph provides a combination of financial and management-related activities, in the context of bank business models, taking into account the concept of sustainab

Overview: Outlines systems biomechanics of the cell as an emergent and promising discipline.Explores the potential to expand the spectrum of questions asked about the cell, and to further clarify the physical nSystems Biomechanics of the Cell attempts to outline systems biomechanics of the cell as an emergent and promising discipline. The new field owes conceptually to cell mechanics, organism-level systems biomechanics, and biology of biochemical systems. Its distinct methodology is to elucidate the structure and behavior of the cell by analyzing the unintuitive collective effects of elementa

Overview: .After a century of successes, physicists still feel the need to probe the limits of the validity of theories based on special relativity. Canonical approaches to quantum gravity, non-commutative geometry, string theory and unification scenarios predict tiny violations of Lorentz invariance at high energies...The present book, based on a recent seminar devoted to such frontier problems, contains reviews of the foundations of special relativity and the implications of Poincaré invariance as well as comprehensive accounts of experimental results and proposed tests...The book addresses,

Overview: Combines advanced mathematical tools and theoretical analysis of stochastic numerical methods at a high level.Provides methods to reach optimal results on the accuracy of Monte Carlo simulations of st.In various scientific and industrial fields, stochastic simulations are taking on a new importance. This is due to the increasing power of computers and practitioners’ aim to simulate more and more complex systems, and thus use random parameters as well as random noises to model the parametric uncertainties and the lack of knowledge on the physics of these systems. The error analysis of
