Complex Conjugate Matrix Equations for Systems and Control (Communications and Control Engineering)
by Ying Zhang Ai-Guo WuThe book is the first book on complex matrix equations including the conjugate of unknown matrices. The study of these conjugate matrix equations is motivated by the investigations on stabilization and model reference tracking control for discrete-time antilinear systems, which are a particular kind of complex system with structure constraints. It proposes useful approaches to obtain iterative solutions or explicit solutions for several types of complex conjugate matrix equation. It observes that there are some significant differences between the real/complex matrix equations and the complex conjugate matrix equations. For example, the solvability of a real Sylvester matrix equation can be characterized by matrix similarity; however, the solvability of the con-Sylvester matrix equation in complex conjugate form is related to the concept of con-similarity. In addition, the new concept of conjugate product for complex polynomial matrices is also proposed in order to establish a unified approach for solving a type of complex matrix equation.
Compliance als Treiber von Reputation: Eine empirische Analyse der Wirkung von Compliance-Kommunikation auf die Unternehmensreputation in Medien
by Ellen Dietzsch-LohbeckCompliance hat nach großen Wirtschaftsskandalen, wie Korruption bei Siemens und dem Abgasskandal in der deutschen Automobilindustrie, Einzug in fast jedes Unternehmen gehalten. Der Wert von Compliance wird häufig nicht nur darin gesehen, vor Rechtsverstößen und Fehlverhalten zu schützen, sondern auch den guten Ruf zu fördern. Das Buch beleuchtet die Frage, ob es sich für Unternehmen im Hinblick auf ihre Reputation in den Medien lohnt, Compliance als Thema in der Unternehmenskommunikation zu verankern. Anhand einer Fallstudie mit drei Automobilherstellern untersucht Ellen Dietzsch-Lohbeck die externe Kommunikation der Unternehmen zu Compliance. Ferner geht sie der Frage nach, ob die Compliance-Kommunikation der Unternehmen einen Einfluss auf die Wirtschaftsberichterstattung und auf die Medienreputation in drei überregionalen Tageszeitungen in Deutschland ausübt. Damit hat Ellen Dietzsch-Lohbeck erstmals das Thema Compliance in der externen Unternehmenskommunikation umfassend untersucht. Sie hat auch analysiert, wie Zeitungen das Thema Compliance bei Unternehmen darstellen und welche Medienreputation sie dabei vermitteln.

Complicity in Discourse and Practice (Routledge Focus on Applied Linguistics)
by Jef VerschuerenIt is commonplace to say that we are living in troubled times. Liberal democracy is in crisis. Academic freedom is seriously constrained. The media offers less insight and analysis than could be expected given the proliferation of communication tools. Based on decades of research into the social and ideological functioning of discourse and with a focus on politics, universities, and the media, Jef Verschueren offers an analysis of current practices, asks whether we are all complicit, and makes suggestions for what we can do. Central to this book is the notion of derailed reflexivity, referring to the observation that politics, institutions, and news reporting tend to be excessively aimed at public opinion, impression management, and clicks, to the detriment of policies addressing social justice issues, high-quality service, and media content. Highlighting that education is the cornerstone for democratic choices and ensures that we can critically assess media content, this book shows that shared responsibility can be a source of hope and that everyone has the power to intervene. Complicity in Discourse and Practice is a call to action for readers and a plea for actively minding the ecology of the public sphere.

Composing Social Identity in Written Language
by Donald L. RubinThis volume constitutes a unique contribution to the literature on literacy and culture in several respects. It links together aspects of social variation that have not often been thus juxtaposed: ethnicity/nationality, gender, and participant role relations. The unifying theme of this collection of papers is that all of these factors are aspects of writers' identities -- identities which are simultaneously expressed and constructed in text. The topic of social identity and writing can be approached from a variety of scholarly avenues, including humanistic, critical, and historical perspectives. The papers in the present volume make reference to and contribute to such humanistic perspectives; however, this book lies squarely within the tradition of social science. It draws primarily upon the disciplines of linguistics, discourse analysis, anthropology, social and cognitive psychology, and education studies. The constituent topics of social identity, style, and writing themselves lie at the intersections of several related fields of scholarship. Writing remains of peak interest to educators from many fields, and is still a "hot" topic. The instructional ramifications of the particular issues addressed in this volume are of vital concern to educational systems adjusting to the realities of our multicultural society. This publication, therefore, should attract a substantial and diverse readership of scholars, educators, and policymakers affiliated with many fields including applied linguistics, composition and rhetoric, communication studies, dialect studies, discourse analysis, English composition, English/language arts education, ethnic studies, language behavior, literacy, sociolinguistics, stylistics, women's studies, and writing research and instruction.
