Personalmarketing als Vehikel für erfolgreiches IT-Recruiting: Die Analyse der Perspektive von HR-Managern und Recruitern (BestMasters)
by Theresa FissDer Fachkräftemangel an qualifizierten IT-Experten stellt Unternehmen vor die Herausforderung, offene Positionen im IT-Bereich erfolgreich zu besetzen. Theresa Fiss untersucht in diesem Buch, welche Rolle Personalmarketing in diesem Kontext spielt und welche konkreten Maßnahmen zur erfolgreichen Rekrutierung von IT-Fachkräften beitragen können. Anhand qualitativer Interviews mit HR-Managern und Recruitern, die sich auf IT-Recruiting spezialisiert haben, zeigt sie, dass Personalmarketing eine zentrale Rolle im Rekrutierungsprozess einnimmt. Dabei werden sowohl strategische Aspekte wie die Gestaltung der Arbeitgebermarke als auch operative Maßnahmen wie Social-Media-Marketing, Active Sourcing und die Gestaltung von Karrierewebsites beleuchtet. Diese praxisnahe Analyse bietet wertvolle Einblicke für Unternehmen, die ihre IT-Recruiting-Strategien optimieren möchten. Gleichzeitig legt die Arbeit den Grundstein für zukünftige Forschungen im Bereich des operativen Personalmarketings, das bisher wenig untersucht wurde.
The Scope of Moral Protest: Beyond Blame and Responsibility
by Alexander EdlichThe book highlights a neglected aspect of our moral practices: we can morally protest objectionable conduct without blaming agents for it. In this way, moral responses to wrongful conduct are possible without assessing the blameworthiness of agents. The book offers an account of moral protest as a type of stance-taking: in protest, the protester commits themselves to treating what they protest as morally objectionable, which is related to a specific class of moral emotions. The aptness conditions of moral protest and the concept of objectionability are discussed and this perspective is applied to a critical discussion of the attributionist view of blameworthiness and corresponding views of blame. It concludes that our moral practices allow for more variation than is often acknowledged, some of which unrelated to moral responsibility, and that this gives us reason not to insist on a broad view of blameworthiness. Specifically, it is argued that the significance of morally objectionable conduct and the needs of victims of wrongdoing can be done justice to without blame. The book thus suggests that moral protest without blame may be called for more often than we think, including for many types of wrongdoers whose culpability is disputed.

Developing Curriculum for Deep Thinking: The Knowledge Revival (SpringerBriefs in Education)
by Daniel Muijs Nuno Crato John Hattie Dylan Wiliam Elizabeth Rata Paul A. Kirschner Tim Surma Claudio Vanhees Michiel Wils Jasper NijlunsingThis open access book discusses why the seemingly straightforward strategy of teaching children how to think deeply does not work and offers an alternative way forward for the curriculum to achieve these objectives. Over the years, the role of knowledge in the curriculum has, like a pendulum, shifted between two extremes, from highly visible to virtually invisible knowledge elements. Insights from cognitive and educational psychology, sociology, and curriculum studies are used to underpin the current knowledge revival that is widely being observed in education. A knowledge-rich curriculum is proposed by the authors as not only the soundest way forward to both effectively acquire knowledge and complex cognitive skills in school, but also as a crucial lever to achieve equitable opportunities for all students. In understanding how a knowledge-rich curriculum can enhance learning, three overarching principles are discussed: (1) content-richness, (2) coherence, and (3) clarity. These principles are illustrated through practical examples from schools and educators who have effectively integrated knowledge-rich curricula.

Oral History and the Holocaust in Slovakia: Selective and Contradictory Memories (The Holocaust and its Contexts)
by Monika VrzgulováNearly thirty years ago, Monika Vrzgulová took part in the very first oral history research project aimed at Holocaust survivors in Slovakia. That project transformed her professional as well as her personal life. The Holocaust as a scholarly subject and the oral history method have stayed with her to this day. This book summarizes her findings and the experience she has acquired researching Holocaust memory, combining memory studies, oral history, autoethnography, and reflexive writing methods. It presents data from two international research projects which took part in Slovakia too and are available to experts and the public online. The insights gained from this research are contextualised with the social situation in a country that is trying to come to terms with its past after the fall of Communism.

Convex Stochastic Optimization: Dynamic Programming and Duality in Discrete Time (Probability Theory and Stochastic Modelling #107)
by Teemu Pennanen Ari-Pekka PerkkiöThis book studies a general class of convex stochastic optimization (CSO) problems that unifies many common problem formulations from operations research, financial mathematics and stochastic optimal control. We extend the theory of dynamic programming and convex duality to allow for a unified and simplified treatment of various special problem classes found in the literature. The extensions allow also for significant generalizations to existing problem formulations. Both dynamic programming and duality have played crucial roles in the development of various optimality conditions and numerical techniques for the solution of convex stochastic optimization problems.
Hedy Lamarr: The Most Beautiful Woman in Film (Screen Classics)
by Ruth BartonThis true story of a Hollywood sex symbol&’s tumultuous life is &“a real page-turner. Now, here is a book that would make a great movie&” (London Daily Mail). Hedy Lamarr&’s life was punctuated by salacious rumors and public scandal, but it was her stunning looks and classic Hollywood glamour that continuously captivated audiences. Born Hedwig Kiesler, she escaped an unhappy marriage with arms dealer Fritz Mandl in Austria to try her luck in Hollywood, where her striking appearance made her a screen legend. Her notorious nude role in the erotic Czech film Ecstasy, as well as her work with Cecil B. DeMille (Samson and Delilah), Walter Wanger (Algiers), and studio executive Louis B. Mayer catapulted her alluring and provocative reputation as a high-profile sex symbol. In this biography, Ruth Barton explores the many facets of the screen legend—including her life as an inventor. Working with avant-garde composer and film scorer George Antheil, Lamarr helped to develop and patent spread spectrum technology, which is still used in mobile phone communication. However, despite her screen persona and scientific success, Lamarr&’s personal life included a string of failed marriages, a lawsuit against her publisher regarding her sensational autobiography, and shoplifting charges that made her infamous beyond her celebrity. Drawing on extensive research into both the recorded truths of Lamarr&’s life and the rumors that made her notorious, Barton recognizes Lamarr&’s contributions to both film and technology while revealing the controversial and conflicted woman underneath.

Clarence Saunders & the Founding of Piggly Wiggly: The Rise & Fall of a Memphis Maverick (Landmarks Ser.)
by Mike FreemanThe life and career—including both the highs and the lows—of the visionary businessman who started the iconic supermarket chain. The grocery business began as a complicated service industry. Random pricing, inconsistent quantities and prescriptive salesmen made grocery shopping burdensome. It took one brash Memphian with uncommon vision and unbridled ambition to change everything. Clarence Saunders worked his way out of poverty and obscurity to found Piggly Wiggly in 1916. With an unprecedented approach, he virtually invented the concept of the modern self-service grocery store. Stores flourished, franchises spread, and Saunders made millions. Yet just as the final bricks of Pink Palace—his garish marble mansion—were being laid, Saunders went bankrupt, and he was forced to sell Piggly Wiggly. A variety of new ventures helped Saunders out of bankruptcy, but he never duplicated his prior success. Memphis historian Mike Freeman tracks the remarkable life of this retail visionary.
The Science and Art of Simulation: Trust in Science
by Michael M. Resch Andreas Kaminski Nico Formánek Ammu JoshyTrust is a central pillar of the scientific enterprise. Much work in the philosophy of science can be seen as coping with the problem of establishing trust in a certain theory, a certain model, or even science as a whole. However, trust in science is threatened by various developments. With the advent of more complex models and the increasing usage of computer methods such as machine learning and computer simulation, it seems increasingly challenging to establish trust in science. How and on what basis can an appropriate trust in science be built? We are interested in how trust is established in such cases of increasing complexity (of models and communication) and what could be appropriate measures to alleviate doubt.
Stilisierte Fakten von IPOs in Europa im Kontext neuer Informationen durch digitale Kommunikationswege (Business, Economics, and Law)
by Tim FriedhoffIm Zentrum finanzwissenschaftlicher Untersuchungen des weltweiten Primärmarkts steht das Verhalten von IPO-Firmen und ihren Renditen vor, während und nach ihrem Börsengang. Resultierend daraus wird beobachtet, dass Börsengänge bestimmte stilisierte Fakten (statistische, wiederkehrende Eigenschaften) zeigen, die auf Theorien aus den 1980er und 90er Jahren beruhen und die Handelsentscheidung von Kleinanlegern und institutionellen Investoren beeinflussen. Es stellt sich die Frage, ob diese Theorien aufgrund der reduzierten Kapitalmarktgrenzen und neuen Kommunikationswege noch aktuell sind. Der Autor analysiert hierzu die stilisierten IPO-Fakten auf dem europäischen Markt anhand einer umfangreichen Datenbank, die 35 Länder umfasst. Besondere Aufmerksamkeit gilt der Fragestellung, wie digitale Kommunikationsmittel diese Fakten beeinflussen können. Vor dem Hintergrund der digitalen Transformation wird thematisiert, wie eine Investor-Relations-Abteilung durch digitale Maßnahmen die Kommunikation mit Kapitalgebern intensivieren und zum Erfolg eines IPO beitragen kann.

Race, Culture and Mental Illness in the International Criminal Court’s Ongwen Judgment: Biases and Blindspots
by Beth S. LyonsDominic Ongwen was abducted in 1987 when he was 8 or 9 years old by the Lord’s Resistance Army (‘LRA’) in Northern Uganda and trafficked as a child soldier; he made multiple unsuccessful attempts to escape, and finally succeeded in late 2014. He turned himself into the International Criminal Court in 2015 and was prosecuted. Mr. Ongwen’s defence was that he was not responsible for the crimes of the LRA, based on his mental illnesses and duress, stemming from his abduction and subsequent coercion and indoctrination under Joseph Kony within the LRA. In February 2021, the ICC’s Trial Chamber IX convicted Dominic Ongwen of 61 charges and two modes of liability and he was sentenced to 25 years incarceration. This work critiques the judicial racial and cultural biases and blindspots in the Ongwen Judgment rendered by the ICC, as related to the affirmative defences of mental disease or defect and duress and to sentencing, from the perspective of the author who served as a defence counsel in the case.
Moderne Filmmärchen zwischen Reproduktion und Neukonstruktion: Märchen im US-Kino und ihre Anknüpfungspunkte für ein jugendliches Publikum (Medienbildung und Gesellschaft #53)
by Katharina HerdeDas US-Kino nimmt sich seit einiger Zeit wieder europäischen Märchenstoffen an und erzählt die Geschichten vermeintlich neu. Dabei sprechen die Filme nicht mehr nur Kinder und Familien an, sondern stellen Themenaspekte in den Vordergrund, die in der Jugendphase von besonderer Relevanz sind. In einer detaillierten filmanalytischen Auseinandersetzung, die qualitative und quantitative Methoden nutzt, werden in diesem Buch sechs moderne Filmmärchen auf ihren Umgang mit den Märchenstoffen Aschenputtel und Schneewittchen hin untersucht sowie die Anknüpfungspotenziale für jugendliche Rezipient*innen herausgearbeitet. Dabei wird nicht nur auf die Themen selbst eingegangen, sondern auch auf die Art und Weise, wie diese in den Filmen thematisiert werden. Zudem wird dargelegt welche Normen und Werte über sie vermittelt werden. Das Buch zeigt auf, wie aktuell Märchenstoffe bis heute im US-Kino sind, wie die Filme mit dem Ruf der Märchen als Kindermedien brechen, was über die Filme vermittelt wird und wie letztendlich bekannte Erzählinhalte reproduziert und dabei gleichzeitig neu konstruiert werden.
Deep Learning for Seismic Data Enhancement and Representation (Advances in Oil and Gas Exploration & Production)
by Jiefu Chen Xuqing Wu Shirui Wang Wenyi HuSeismic imaging is a key component of subsurface exploration, and it depends on a high-quality seismic data acquisition system with effective seismic processing algorithms. Seismic data quality concerns various factors such as acquisition design, environmental constraints, sampling resolution, and noises. The focus of this book is to investigate efficient seismic data representation and signal enhancement solutions by leveraging the powerful feature engineering capability of deep learning. The book delves into seismic data representation and enhancement issues, ranging from seismic acquisition design to subsequent quality improvement and compression technologies. Given the challenges of obtaining suitable labeled training datasets for seismic data processing problems, we concentrate on exploring deep learning approaches that eliminate the need for labels. We combined novel deep learning techniques with conventional seismic data processing methods, and construct networks and frameworks tailored for seismic data processing. The editors and authors of this book come from both academia and industry with hands-on experiences in seismic data processing and imaging.
Digitalisierung und Recht: Retrospektive und Entwicklungslinien eines digitalen Wandels
by Maximilian WanderwitzDas Werk skizziert Entwicklungslinien eines digitalen Wandels, der Folge einer Verschränkung von Digitalisierung und Recht ist. Durch Retrospektiven, Beschreibungen gegenwärtiger Zustände und gelegentlichen Prognosen wird illustriert, wie sich diese Entwicklungslinien von der Vergangenheit bis in die Zukunft erstrecken. Besonders untersucht werden hierbei die Reaktionen des Rechts auf den digitalen Wandel, die Transformation des Rechts und rechtlicher Arbeit durch die Digitalisierung, die Rolle des Menschen als digital beeinflusstes und erfasstes Wesen sowie umfassende Transformationsprozesse, denen Verwaltung und Rechtsstaat unterworfen sind. Einen speziellen Schwerpunkt bilden daneben Aspekte zur Künstlichen Intelligenz: ihre Funktionsweise, ihre Risiken, ihre Regulierung sowie die Möglichkeit ihres Schutzes. In einen größeren Rahmen eingepasst wird dies alles durch die Erörterung rechtstheoretischer Problemstellungen, rechtsstaatlicher und verfassungsrechtlicher Fragen sowie gesellschaftspolitischer Aspekte. Zahlreiche praktische Beispiele, Grafiken und Übersichten runden das Werk ab
