Corona und die anderen Wissenschaften: Interdisziplinäre Lehren aus der Pandemie (ars digitalis)
by Peter Klimczak Christer Petersen Denis NewiakDie Corona-Pandemie hat die gesamte Welt weitestgehend unvorbereitet getroffen, Entscheidungsträger*innen auf allen gesellschaftlichen Ebenen vor enorme Herausforderungen gestellt und ihnen schwerwiegende Entscheidungen unter weitestgehend unbekannten Voraussetzungen abverlangt. Gerade deswegen braucht es ein stärkeres Hinhören, was die anderen Wissenschaften, denen weniger Aufmerksamkeit zukam als etwa der Virologie, Epidemiologie, Pneumologie, zur Bewältigung beizutragen haben: Was können wir aus den vielfältigen Perspektiven der vielen anderen Wissenschaften zur Bewältigung der Corona-Krise und zukünftiger Pandemien lernen? Welche Erkenntnisse der vielen anderen Fächer wurden in den zurückliegenden Jahren und Monaten nicht ausreichend wahrgenommen und beherzigt? Welchen gesamtgesellschaftlichen Beitrag können diese Fächer zur Krisenbewältigung leisten und welche Voraussetzungen müssen dafür erfüllt sein?
Coronanews: 215 noticias curiosas y extrañas sobre la pandemia
by José Luis Guzmán "Miyagi" Guillermo GuerreroCoronanews es un recuento de 215 noticias de todo el mundo acerca del comportamiento más curioso, extraño e involuntariamente humorístico de la pandemia que nos azota# todo verídico. Las consecuencias de la actual crisis de salud por el Coronavirus son varias, diversas y solo el tiempo las pondrá en su justa dimensión. Una de las más cercanas y obvias ocurrirá en enero del 2021, cuando nazcan todos los chamacos que fueron concebidos porque sus papás estaban aburridos durante la cuarentena. Será esa generación, que no sabemos si se llamará cuarentennials o pandemials, la encargada de contar como si fuera una leyenda urbana que un día nos quedamos encerrados, viendo las mismas películas una y otra vez, temerosos de contagiarnos de un virus que llegó de China. Tal vez sea el principio del fin de la llamada "Era de los sabores silvestres" (ye wei en mandarín) en la cocina china que incluye comerse todo lo que camine, vuele o se arrastre. El SARS-Cov-2 parece provenir del murciélago y en el menú de cualquier mercado chino, por ejemplo, el de Chatou en Cantón, usted puede encontrar cigüeñas, gaviotas, garzas, grullas, ciervos, caimanes, cocodrilos, jabalís, civetas, mapaches, ardillas voladoras, varios tipos de serpientes y tortugas, varios tipos de rana, así como perros y gatos domésticos, todos en venta para comer. ¿Cuántas enfermedades potenciales estarán agazapadas esperando dar el salto zoonótico de una especie a otra? O tal vez no tenemos que ser tan apocalípticos e integrados y esto es un susto pasajero y en las bodas se bailarán las cumbias que hicimos durante 2020. En las bibliotecas digitales de 2050 encontrarán este libro y pensarán que las Coronanews fueron un invento del gobierno y no podrán creer que un doctor salía todos los días a las siete de la noche a decirnos que ya merito llegábamos al pico de la pandemia una y otra vez. A esos lectores del futuro les decimos: quédense en casa y no coman animales raros, no saben el desmadre que se armó.

Corporate Risk Management: A Case Study on Risk Evaluation (Springer Texts in Business and Economics)
by Joachim Häcker Dietmar ErnstIn times of crisis, risk management is more important than ever. In addition, companies are obliged to identify, quantify and aggregate risks as part of a risk management system. Legal and auditing standards have set the framework for doing so. This book uses a case study to show ‘step by step’ how risks can be analyzed and quantified with the help of Microsoft Excel. The book begins with the graphical representation of risks and the calculation of risk parameters such as the value at risk. It subsequently aggregates different risks into an overall risk using Monte Carlo simulation. Hedging risks is also explained, and how non-hedgeable risks can be integrated into a business plan. The assessment of extreme risks is also addressed, as is the modeling of volatilities. The book is aimed at students of business administration with a focus on finance.

Correction Formulae for the Stress Distribution in Round Tensile Specimens at Neck Presence (SpringerBriefs in Applied Sciences and Technology)
by Andreas Öchsner Magdalena Gromada Gennady MishurisThe monograph deals with methods to determine mechanical properties and evaluate the flow curve of ductile materials from the tensile test. It presents classical hypotheses concerning the onset of neck creation as well as the state of the art in determining the mechanical properties from the tensile test, with emphasis on the consequences of the neck formation. It revises derivations of formulae for the stress distribution in the minimal cross-section of the axisymmetrical specimen in the classical approaches proposed by Bridgman, Davidenkov / Spiridonova and Siebel as well as in the less famous formulae derived by Szczepinski and Malinin / Petrosjan. The revision is completed with solutions evaluated by the authors. In the monograph, the simplifying assumptions utilised in the classical approaches were carefully verified by numerical simulations accompanied by theoretical analysis. Errors imposed in the evaluation of the average axial stress acting on the minimal cross-section as a result of every particular simplification are estimated. The accuracy of all formulae to evaluate the flow curve is discussed. The significance of a high accurate determination can be seen in the context of numerical simulation (e.g. finite element computations), where the total error and accuracy is partly based on the accuracy of the material input.
