Handbuch Deutschsprachig-jüdische Literatur seit der Aufklärung Bd. 3: Sprachkulturen (Handbuch Deutschsprachig-jüdische Literatur seit der Aufklärung. Neue Forschungszugänge in Paradigmen)
by Stephan Braese Christine WaldschmidtDas Handbuch bietet eine anhand von 6 Paradigmen entfaltete Darstellung deutschsprachig-jüdischer Literatur seit der Aufklärung. Ausgangspunkt ist die These, dass jüdisches Denken und deutschsprachig-jüdische Literatur nicht primär assimilatorisch an literarischen und wissenschaftlichen Entwicklungen im deutschsprachigen Raum partizipierten, sondern diese in dialogischer Weise und Impulse gebend maßgeblich mitkonstituiert haben. Der Band Sprachkulturen befasst sich mit den politischen und kulturellen Bedingungen, unter denen die deutsche Sprache in jüdischen Lebenswelten geteilt wurde und ihre Literatur sowie die Praxis jüdischer Mehrsprachigkeit prägte. Er analysiert exemplarisch diese Sprachkulturen im jeweiligen historischen Gegenüber zur Deutschsprachigkeit der Mehrheitsgesellschaft und als produktiven literarischen Ausdruck jüdischer Selbstbehauptung und jüdischen Selbstverständnisses.Dies ist ein Open-Access-Buch.

Seeing Style: How Style Orients Phenopractices across Action, Media, Space, and Time (Beiträge zur Praxeologie / Contributions to Praxeology)
by Niklas WoermannHow do social practices prefigure experiences, and how does embodied experience organize the performance of practices? This book suggests that the classic concept of style offers a fresh answer to the question how doings and sayings are linked into practice bundles. Based on a rich ethnographic study of the visual practices of the German-speaking freeskiing subculture, this work develops a theory of phenopractices, or embodied cultural practices dedicated to apprehending and expressing style. Focusing on the visual dimension, it extends the thought of Garfinkel and Schatzki using recent insights from science and technology studies and research at the intersection of neuroscience and phenomenology. This offers a new perspective on fundamental practice-theoretical questions about the nature of practice elements, social order in the context of rules and regularity, or action and practical intelligibility. Each chapter discusses and develops foundational concepts such as time, space, action, emotion, or perception based on an analysis of freeskiing practices such as planning a route in the backcountry, testing a new ski model, or judging freestyle contests. The central argument is that cultural styles of conduct are not only symbolic structures, but a functional resource which organizes situational intelligibility and thus enables social order based on aligned and managed embodied routines. Because the stabilization, dissemination, and evolution of such styles happens via different media, practice change is primarily influenced by media rather than symbolic, rational, or functional needs or ends. A rich ethnography and provocative theoretical argument of interest to anyone working on contemporary practice thought, advancing phenomenology, the sociology of vision, lifestyle sports, media, or practice evolution.

Handbook of Positional Plagiocephaly
by Satoshi Kusuda Yasuo Aihara Isao Kusakawa Shigeharu HosonoThis comprehensive book provides details on infants' deformed scalps and the early detection of severe positional plagiocephaly. Many health professionals involved in infant health care believe that positional head shape changes are only temporary and will return to normal shape on their own. However, some of them may develop a deformed scalp shape later in life, which can result in malocclusion. Early and appropriate intervention may improve outcomes in patients with positional plagiocephaly; however, all healthcare professionals caring for infants must pay much more attention. The purpose of this book is to standardize the diagnosis and treatment of infants with positional plagiocephaly. This book addresses the prevention of head deformity in infancy as well as the most recently developed helmet therapy. Handbook of Positional Plagiocephaly is an official publication of the Japan Cranial Medical Examination and Treatment Society (JCMETS), published to raise awareness and foster understanding among health professionals involved in infant health care, such as pediatricians, pediatric neurosurgeons, pediatric surgeons, plastic surgeons, obstetricians, nurses, midwives, and parents. Professionals such as pediatricians and pediatric neurosurgeons contributed as chapter authors, resulting in content that is both comprehensive and easy to understand for readers of all levels.

Decision Trees Versus Systems of Decision Rules: A Rough Set Approach (Studies in Big Data #160)
by Mikhail Moshkov Kerven Durdymyradov Azimkhon OstonovThis book explores, within the framework of rough set theory, the complexity of decision trees and decision rule systems and the relationships between them for problems over information systems, for decision tables from closed classes, and for problems involving formal languages. Decision trees and systems of decision rules are widely used as means of representing knowledge, as classifiers that predict decisions for new objects, as well as algorithms for solving various problems of fault diagnosis, combinatorial optimization, etc. Decision trees and systems of decision rules are among the most interpretable models of knowledge representation and classification. Investigating the relationships between these two models is an important task in computer science. The possibilities of transforming decision rule systems into decision trees are being studied in detail. The results are useful for researchers using decision trees and decision rule systems in data analysis, especially in rough set theory, logical analysis of data, and test theory. This book is also used to create courses for graduate students.

Traditions of Analysis and Synthesis (Archimedes #73)
by Jutta Schickore William R. NewmanThis open access book provides a fresh perspective on analysis and synthesis across several areas of inquiry. The two operations form a primary basis of modern laboratory science, ranging from the spectrographic analysis used in practically every scientific discipline today, to the naming of entire disciplines, such as synthetic organic chemistry. Despite their acknowledged significance, however, the history of analysis, synthesis, and their relations over the longue durée is poorly understood. Several volumes have been devoted to the history of analysis and synthesis in the sense that premodern mathematicians and philosophers used the terms, but very little work has been done on the tradition of material decomposition and recomposition and its relationship to mathematics and philosophy. The present volume brings together scholars in the history of medicine, mathematics, philosophy, chemistry, and alchemy to explore the ways in which these multiple disciplines understood and used analysis and synthesis as experimental, justificatory, and conceptual tools.
