CATastrophe!: A Story of Patterns
by Ann Marie StephensNine kittens go on an exciting boating adventure that's a (funny) CATastrophe in this playful picture book that demonstrates the key math concept of patterns.A crew of hungry kittens and their captain head to the lake to catch some dinner, but the fish have surprises in store for them. Physics is at work too. What happens when confused kitties paddle every which way? Or when they all lean in the same direction? A pattern is needed to avoid a catastrophe! Patterns are the foundation on which math is built. Using strong rhythm, clever wordplay, and countable characters, CATastrophe! is a fun read-aloud that also shows what patterns can do. Helpful backmatter will deepen readers' understanding and challenge them to find more patterns in this book and in our world.
CATawampus!: A Story of Shapes (A Catastrophe Tale)
by Ann Marie StephensMath-loving kittens race to build the best robot as they compete in a STEM day at school in this playful picture book that demonstrates the key math concept of identifying shapes.It&’s a wonderful day—because it&’s STEM day! Kitties are challenged to build a robot and use the wind to make it move. With circles, squares, triangles, and rectangles, the kitties do their best to tape, glue, and paste—but oh no! The robot won&’t move. How might these disorderly cats make sense of all these shapes and build a successful robot? Author Ann Marie Stephens draws upon more than 30 years of teaching experience to ensure that readers absorb math while having fun in the adventure-filled CATastrophe Tale series. And Jenn Harney&’s hilarious and energetic illustrations capture the antics of these enthusiastic kittens.Each book in the CATastrophe Tale series includes helpful back matter, which shows readers that, just like the kittens, they use mathematical skills in their everyday lives. Additional titles in the series include CATastrophe!: A Story of Patterns and sCATtered!: A Story of Estimation.

CDOs im öffentlichen Sektor: Perspektiven auf Chief Digital Officers und Strategien zur digitalen Transformation
by Christian SchachtnerDieses Buch untersucht die Notwendigkeit innovativer Ansätze zur Administrationsdigitalisierung, indem Technologien wie KI, Blockchain und intelligente Prozesse genutzt werden, um den Erwartungen der Bürger gerecht zu werden. Besonderes Augenmerk liegt auf der Rolle der Chief Digital Officers (CDOs) bei der erfolgreichen digitalen Transformation innerhalb öffentlicher Institutionen. Die digitale Verwaltung erfordert frische Impulse, um mit den Fortschritten im Industriesektor Schritt zu halten, indem Technologien wie KI-gesteuerte Automatisierung, Blockchain-Transaktionen und Sicherheitswerkzeuge eingesetzt werden. Intelligente Prozesslösungen werden als transformativ angesehen, um die Service-Standards gemäß den Erwartungen der Bürger an den Staat aufrechtzuerhalten. Im Gegensatz zu kommerziellen Unternehmen bietet die Zusammenarbeit denjenigen, die die Digitalisierung im öffentlichen Sektor überwachen, erweiterte Skalierungsmöglichkeiten, indem sie auf Erfahrungen aus anderen Regionen und Metropolen zurückgreifen, die direkt anwendbar und wiederverwendbar sind. Im öffentlichen Bereich spiegeln digitale Strategien rechtliche und soziale Bedingungen wider, was Anpassungen und Anpassungsoptionen für Chief Digital Officers erforderlich macht, während sie die digitale Transformation leiten. Methodische Schwerpunkte in der Neugestaltung von Aufgabenstrukturen, Prozessoptimierung und der Motivation von Akteuren ergeben vielfältige Handlungsfelder für die neue Rolle des CDO in öffentlichen Institutionen. Dieses Buch untersucht die Instrumente, Strategien und Einstellungen, die notwendig sind, um transformative Initiativen in Organisationen erfolgreich umzusetzen, und betont bewährte Konzepte mit praktischer Anwendbarkeit, die es den Lesern ermöglichen, ihre eigenen Interaktionsmöglichkeiten als digitale Führungspersönlichkeiten abzuleiten. Das Buch ist eine prägnante Einführung in die spezifischen Anforderungen an visionäre Gestalter, die dynamische Veränderungen in nutzerzentrierten öffentlichen Dienstleistungen vorantreiben.
CDOs in the Public Sector: Perspectives on Chief Digital Officers and Digital Transformation Strategies (SpringerBriefs in Applied Sciences and Technology)
by Christian SchachtnerThis book explores the need for innovative approaches to administrative digitization, leveraging technologies such as AI, blockchain, and smart processes to meet citizens' expectations, with a particular focus on the role of Chief Digital Officers (CDOs) in driving successful digital transformations within public institutions. Administrative digitization requires fresh inputs to match the leaps seen in the industry sector, utilizing technologies like AI-driven automation, blockchain transactions, and security tools. Smart process solutions are seen as transformative in upholding service standards aligned with citizens' state expectations. Unlike commercial companies, collaboration offers those overseeing public sector digitization enhanced scaling opportunities by drawing from experiences in other regions and metropolises, directly applicable and reusable. In the public realm, digital strategies mirror legal and social conditions, necessitating adjustments and adaptation options for Chief Digital Officers as they lead digital transformation. Methodological focal points in task structure redesign, process optimization, and motivating actors yield diverse action areas for the CDO's new role in public institutions. This book explores the instruments, strategies, and attitudes necessary to successfully implement transformative initiatives in organizations, emphasizing proven concepts with practical applicability, enabling readers to derive their own interaction options as digital guidance leaders. The book is a concise introduction to the specific requirements for visionary designers driving dynamic changes in user-centric public services.

CEMAF as a Census Method: A Proposal for a Re-Designed Census and An Independent U.S. Census Bureau (SpringerBriefs in Population Studies)
by David A. Swanson Paula J. WalashekIn provocative terms that push the envelope of technical, administrative, and legal capabilities, Swanson and Walashek propose a re-vamped US census based neither on the current system, self-enumeration, nor its predecessor, door-to-door canvassing. Instead, they propose that it be built on a combination of four elements: (1) administrative records; (2) the continuously updated Master Address File; (3) survey data; and (4) modeling and imputation techniques. They use "Census-Enhanced Master Address File (CEMAF) as a descriptive term for their proposal, which is based on four principles and includes a proposal for an independent Census Bureau. They argue that evidence suggests that the methods used to conduct traditional census counts may be at the end of their useful working lives, as evidenced by increasing costs and declining response rates. Some of their ideas will seem farfetched. However, Swanson and Walashek believe this is the time to discuss radical proposals as governments re-examine the utility of traditional census counts and consider reductions, as is the case in Canada and England. This SpringerBriefs should be on the reading list of staff in statistical agencies grappling with rising costs and declining response rates, as well as census stakeholders concerned about costs, accuracy, and census utility.

CITIES
by Kathleen M. Reilly Tom CasteelTo a child, a city is a chaotic, vibrant community whose workings can seem quite mysterious. How did people create subways? How does the water get to the very top of a skyscraper? Is there any organization to a bustling metropolis? Cities: Discover How They Work will give kids a view into the inner functioning of these urban areas. They'll learn about all the parts that come together to make cities work and how they've grown and changed since the very first riverside settlements.Fascinating sidebars, unique illustrations, Words to Know, and fun Did You Know facts combine with age-appropriate hands-on activities to make learning about complex urban environments fun and reinforce learning. Projects include creating subway cut-aways to understand how transportation systems work, building an aqueduct to learn how cities get water, and experimenting with skyscraper design and water filtration. This STEAM title, which integrates science, technology, engineering, art, and math includes a glossary, list of resources, and index. Cities meets common core state standards in language arts for reading informational text and literary nonfiction and is aligned with Next Generation Science Standards. Guided Reading Levels and Lexile measurements indicate grade level and text complexity.
