Engagierte Mitarbeitende mit EAP: Wie Employee Assistance Programs Beschäftigte effektiv binden
by Karin EschAngebote für Mitarbeitende sind längst Teil des Baukastens im Personalmanagement. Sie reichen vom Obstkorb im Büro über das hauseigene Sport- und Fitnessangebot bis hin zum (eher fragwürdigen) Tankgutschein. Unternehmen versprechen sich dadurch eine bessere Mitarbeiterbindung, mehr Bewerbungen sowie einen Imagegewinn im Sinne des Employer Branding. Häufig wollen sie auch ihrer sozialen Verantwortung stärker gerecht werden. So sensibilisiert Geschäftsführende und Personaler bereits für das Thema sind, so sehr neigen sie gleichzeitig dazu, sich zu verzetteln. Was bringt ein Fitnessstudio, wenn kaum jemand es nutzt? Und muss der Obstkorb gerechtigkeitshalber auch per Paketdienst ins Homeoffice geschickt werden? In wirklich schwierigen Lebenslagen werden Mitarbeitende dagegen oft alleingelassen. Die Suche nach Kinderbetreuung lässt viele Eltern verzweifeln. Coaching steht meist nur Führungskräften zu. Über Suchtprobleme spricht man nicht. Karin Esch zeigt, welche Angebote für Mitarbeitende tatsächlich einen Unterschied machen und Unternehmen auf dem Weg zur sozialen Nachhaltigkeit weiterbringen. Sie plädiert für ein Ende der Beliebigkeit und den Fokus auf das, was Menschen in einer sich wandelnden Arbeitswelt wirklich effektiv unterstützt. Das schließt das sprichwörtliche Sahnehäubchen nicht aus, sofern das Angebot zum Unternehmen passt. Im Mittelpunkt des Buchs stehen vier Praxisfelder: Eltern und Kinder, Pflege, Lebenslagen und Emotionales. Die Autorin stellt größere Kontexte her und eröffnet neue, erhellende Perspektiven. Nach der Lektüre hat die Zielgruppe das Thema Employee Assistance Program (EAP) ganzheitlich durchdrungen und besitzt somit eine solide Basis für die Entscheidung, welche Arten der Mitarbeitendenunterstützung im Unternehmen neu implementiert oder fortgeführt werden sollen.

by Rubin H. Landau Manuel J. Páez Cristian C. BordeianuComputational Physics The classic in the field for more than 25 years, now with increased emphasis on data science and new chapters on quantum computing, machine learning (AI), and general relativity Computational physics combines physics, applied mathematics, and computer science in a cutting-edge multidisciplinary approach to solving realistic physical problems. It has become integral to modern physics research because of its capacity to bridge the gap between mathematical theory and real-world system behavior. Computational Physics provides the reader with the essential knowledge to understand computational tools and mathematical methods well enough to be successful. Its philosophy is rooted in “learning by doing”, assisted by many sample programs in the popular Python programming language. The first third of the book lays the fundamentals of scientific computing, including programming basics, stable algorithms for differentiation and integration, and matrix computing. The latter two-thirds of the textbook cover more advanced topics such linear and nonlinear differential equations, chaos and fractals, Fourier analysis, nonlinear dynamics, and finite difference and finite elements methods. A particular focus in on the applications of these methods for solving realistic physical problems. Readers of the fourth edition of Computational Physics will also find: An exceptionally broad range of topics, from simple matrix manipulations to intricate computations in nonlinear dynamicsA whole suite of supplementary material: Python programs, Jupyter notebooks and videos Computational Physics is ideal for students in physics, engineering, materials science, and any subjects drawing on applied physics.
Carbohydrate Chemistry in the Total Synthesis of Naturally Occurring Glycosides
by Biao Yu Xiaoyu YangCarbohydrate Chemistry in the Total Synthesis of Naturally Occurring Glycosides Revolutionize your manufacturing processes and more with this groundbreaking introduction Carbohydrates and complex glycosides are important classes of molecules. The ubiquitous glycosides are extremely diverse in structure and functions, and many of them are of pharmacological significance. Purification of a homogeneous glycoside from the nature sources, especially in an appreciable amount, is always difficult. Chemical synthesis provides a feasible access to the homogenous glycosides and their congeners. Carbohydrate Chemistry in the Total Synthesis of Naturally Occurring Glycosides presents about 10 families of naturally occurring glycoside natural products, including about 150 molecules that organic chemists have devoted a lot of effort toward their synthesis. In each example, the background of each natural glycoside, including its natural resources, its isolation process and its bioactivities have been described; the total synthesis of the natural glycoside is presented with special emphasis on the glycosylation reaction, the strategy on saccharides assembly, the protecting group manipulation, and the method for the synthesis of the rare saccharide units. Readers can clearly see the progress of total synthesis of naturally occurring glycosides, from early to current arts, from simple to complex molecules, and from tedious strategy to highly efficient and economical methodologies in this book. It will highly benefit the further developments in the total synthesis of naturally occurring glycosides and synthetic carbohydrate chemistry. Carbohydrate Chemistry in the Total Synthesis of Naturally Occurring Glycosides is ideal for Organic Chemists, Biochemists, Pharmaceutical and Medicinal Chemists, Natural Products Chemists, and Pharmaceutical Industry
