Unruly: Deconstruct the Rules, Defy the Norms, and Define Your Success
by Lauren Wittenberg WeinerWhen the rules stop working for you, Unruly is the guide to navigate your authentic path to personalized success.Rules are necessary for a functional society, but many &“rules&” we follow are simply conventional wisdom, norms, or limited interpretations. We&’re expected to play along by conforming, following the crowd, and steering toward comfortable paths. But viewing rules as a starting point rather than as an endpoint opens worlds of opportunities for your success. Unruly is your manual to identify your best maneuvers in the gray areas that allow you to authentically create and secure your own path to success. Lauren Wittenberg Weiner, a powerful speaker and business leader who has upended barriers on her journey toward extraordinary success, teaches readers in any industry how to: Navigate your own space within the rules while remaining in compliance and maintaining a strong moral compass. Convert fear and imposter syndrome into a superpower. Determine when it&’s time to stop listening to what people think you should or could do to find what you can do. Use your power to be a gateway, not a gatekeeper, for others. Borrowing from concepts in psychology, law, business, and the military, Unruly uncovers a deep understanding of rules and where they bend to equip readers for personalized success.

What Radiology Residents Need to Know: Breast Imaging (What Radiology Residents Need to Know)
by Priscilla J. Slanetz Vandana DialaniThis book is an introduction to breast imaging, specifically designed for the needs of first through third year residents. While rotating through breast imaging, radiology residents are asked to learn significant amounts of information at a fast and unrelenting pace. However, most current books are densely written and contain far more material than residents need to know. Moreover, the number, variety and quality of images is often limited. What Radiology Residents Need to Know: Breast Imaging answers these needs by presenting the important information in bullet fashion, divided into convenient sub-units, such as “clinical information,” “imaging findings” and “management.” This book covers such topics as breast cancer, benign breast disease, image-guided interventions, pregnant and lactating patients, transgender patients, and male breast disease. In addition, it contains tips on approaching and interpreting mammography, breast ultrasound, and breast MRI studies based on decades of practical experience and teaching residents at the work station as well as a list of common differentials. With liberal use of illustrations in the text and an online bank of many more high-quality images, this book gives readers a comprehensive library of breast imaging scans and serves as an ideal guide for radiology residents.

Psychologie als Wissenschaft: Grundlagen, Probleme und Herausforderungen
by Peter Michael BakDieses Buch widmet sich der Psychologie als Wissenschaft. Die Psychologie hat sich zwar längst als Wissenschaft etabliert, dennoch sind noch viele grundlegende Fragen in Bezug auf den Untersuchungsgegenstand und die wissenschaftliche Herangehensweise offen. Es geht um Fragen wie: Kann man die Psychologie wie eine Naturwissenschaft betreiben oder entzieht sich menschliches Verhalten und Erleben einer solchen Herangehensweise? Wie versucht die Psychologie ihre wissenschaftlichen Ziele zu erreichen? Was verstehen wir eigentlich unter Beschreiben, Erklären oder Vorhersagen in der Psychologie? Und was können wir unter psychologischen Theorien, Hypothesen und Prüfungen genau verstehen? Welche aktuellen Probleme behindern den wissenschaftlichen Fortschritt und was kann man dagegen unternehmen? Ohne auf solche Fragen eine Antwort geben zu können, kann man Psychologie als Wissenschaft nicht wirklich betreiben. Aber auch die psychologische Anwendungspraxis muss darauf Antworten finden, wenn es beispielsweise darum geht, Interventionen zu rechtfertigen und zu begründen. Das Buch gibt zu diesen Fragen einen Überblick, benennt Probleme und Schwierigkeiten der Wissenschaft Psychologie und gibt Anregungen, wie man die Psychologie wissenschaftlich weiterentwickeln kann.
First-Principles and Machine Learning Study of Anharmonic Vibration and Dielectric Properties of Materials (Springer Theses)
by Tomohito AmanoThe book presents the author's development of two first-principles methods to calculate dielectric properties of materials based on anharmonic phonon and machine learning, and demonstrates an in-depth analysis of anharmonic crystals and molecular liquids. The anharmonic phonon method, combined with Born effective charges, is useful to study dielectric properties of crystals. The recently developed self-consistent phonon theory (SCPH) enables accurate simulations in strongly anharmonic materials. The author reveals that the combination of SCPH with the four-phonon scattering term accurately reproduces experimental spectra, and discusses how anharmonic phonon self-energies affect the dielectric properties. The second method is molecular dynamics with Wannier centers—the mass centers of Wannier functions. The author constructs a machine learning model that learns Wannier centers for each chemical bond from atomic coordinates to accurately predict the dipole moments. The developed method is, in principle, applicable to molecules of arbitrary size. Its effectiveness is demonstrated and the dielectric properties of several alcohols, including dipole moments, dielectric constants, and absorption spectra, are analyzed. This book benefits students and researchers interested in anharmonic phonons, machine learning, and dielectric properties.

The Family Strategy: How Families Secure Their Business Across Generations
by Kirsten BausSuccessful entrepreneurial families are stable because they have structures and rules. These form the basis for constructive interaction between the family, shareholders, and the business. Without them, the ability to act is impaired—both in day-to-day operations and strategic decisions, due to conflicts and lack of foresight. Kirsten Baus, an expert in family governance and succession planning, offers the solution with the family strategy. Based on a shared understanding of values, goals, and roles, she develops a stabilizing set of structures and rules with entrepreneurial families. These provide relief, create security and predictability, and reduce conflicts. Most importantly, they make an entrepreneurial family capable of strategy—able to plan ahead and position themselves correctly.
Trendanalysen zur Weiterbildungsbeteiligung: Die selbstinitiierte Teilnahme an beruflicher Weiterbildung in Ost- und Westdeutschland 1991 bis 2018 (Theorie und Empirie Lebenslangen Lernens)
by Anika RosenkranzIn diesem Open-Access-Buch wird untersucht, welche Muster bzw. Veränderungen der selbstinitiierten Teilnahme an beruflicher Weiterbildung sich im Trend identifizieren lassen. Bisherige Analysen, die die Teilnahme Beschäftigter an beruflicher Weiterbildung differenziert nach Ost- und Westdeutschland im Trend betrachtet haben, verweisen auf regionalspezifische Muster. Diese Unterschiede werden punktuell vor dem Hintergrund ost-west-spezifischer Arbeitsmarktkontexte verortet, oft jedoch findet keine Kontextualisierung statt. Inwieweit ost-west-spezifische Entwicklungen der Berufs- und Arbeitsmarktstrukturen Einfluss auf motivationale Aspekte der Teilnahmeentscheidung Beschäftigter nehmen, stand bisher nicht im Fokus. Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht daher die Teilnahmeselektivität Beschäftigter an selbstinitiierter beruflicher Weiterbildung vor dem Hintergrund ost-west-spezifischer Entwicklungen der Berufs- und Arbeitsmarktstrukturen. Angesichts sich verändernder Kontexte lassen sich veränderte Muster der Teilnahme im Zeitverlauf beobachten. Die Befunde verweisen zudem auf regionale Strukturdifferenzen, die Einfluss auf die selbstinitiierte Teilnahme an beruflicher Weiterbildung nehmen. Insgesamt zeigt sich eine für ostdeutsche Beschäftigte verringerte Teilnahmequote im Vergleich zu westdeutschen Beschäftigten.

They're Coming for You: How Deep State Spies, NGOs, and Woke Corporations Plan to Push You Out of the Economy
by Jason ChaffetzTrump may be in office, but the Democrats have laid the groundwork for permanent power. <p> While the Biden-Harris administration publicly stumbled and flailed, their bureaucrats and allies outside of government have been turning Republican nightmares into dystopian realities. Censoring the truth tellers. Debanking the politically disfavored. Firing the vaccine hesitant. Excluding the white, Christian, and conservative job applicants. Who needs a deep state when academia, big banks, corporations, and the healthcare system are willing to do what the deep state can’t? <p> Now that they’re out of power in the White House and Congress, the Democrats are mobilizing in the shadows, working to make sure an election like 2024 never happens again. In They’re Coming for You, Jason Chaffetz reveals how Democrats have been planting the seeds of political control using unelected institutions that collect and weaponize private information. Most of us know we have traded our privacy for convenience. Most of us have chosen not to worry that the government will track our Facebook posts and arrest us. But what if an online retailer does? What if companies use that data to refuse to hire us, do business with us, or ship products to us? <p> They’re Coming for You lays bare the frightening truth about how these institutions are collecting, buying, selling, and sharing our data without regard for our privacy, civil liberties, or national security. Republican political victories will ring hollow until this bureaucratic partnership with the nonprofit and private sectors is exposed and the power of the administrative state checked. <p> <b>New York Times Bestseller</b>
