Extreme Stress Mobbing: Approaches for Coping and Prevention in Agile Organizations (essentials)
by Karin MeyerIn addition to high pressure to meet deadlines and succeed, emotional stress and a poor working atmosphere, bullying is one of the most severe stresses to which employees are exposed in their everyday working lives. Employers usually perceive conflicts between employees as a disruptive factor. At the same time, it is often difficult for those affected to grasp the situation completely and in good time. Therefore, in addition to possible behaviors of mobbers, triggers for this form of aggressive behavior as well as working and general conditions conducive to mobbing, such as agile organizations, are examined - as well as approaches to coping and prevention.

Eye Gaze in Intelligent User Interfaces
by Cristina Conati Thomas Bader Yukiko I. NakanoRemarkable progress in eye-tracking technologies opened the way to design novel attention-based intelligent user interfaces, and highlighted the importance of better understanding of eye-gaze in human-computer interaction and human-human communication. For instance, a user's focus of attention is useful in interpreting the user's intentions, their understanding of the conversation, and their attitude towards the conversation. In human face-to-face communication, eye gaze plays an important role in floor management, grounding, and engagement in conversation. Eye Gaze in Intelligent User Interfaces draws on ideas from a number of contributors working on how attentional information can be applied to novel intelligent interfaces. Part I focuses on analyzing human eye gaze behaviors to reveal characteristics of human communication and cognition; Part II addresses estimation and prediction of the cognitive state of the users using gaze information; and Part III presents proposals of novel gaze-aware interfaces which integrate eye-trackers as a system component. The contributions highlight a direction for the future of human-computer interaction, and discuss issues in human attentional behaviors and face-to-face communication which are essential in designing gaze aware interactive interfaces.
Eye Movements and Gestures in Simultaneous and Consecutive Interpreting (Second Language Learning and Teaching)
by Katarzyna Stachowiak-SzymczakThis book addresses eye movements and gestures as markers of language comprehension and production in interpreting as the "visible embodiment" of cognitive processing in simultaneous and consecutive interpreting. It discusses conference interpreting as a complex, multimodal activity where language processing is not restricted to auditory perception and oral production, highlighting the complexity of interpreting and exploring possible strategies that can be used by professional interpreters and students to make their work easier and more accurate.
Eye-Tracking in der Mathematik- und Naturwissenschaftsdidaktik: Forschung und Praxis
by Pascal Klein Nicole Graulich Jochen Kuhn Maike SchindlerDieses Buch beschäftigt sich mit aktuellen Studien und Anwendungsmöglichkeiten von Eye-Tracking in der Mathematik- oder Naturwissenschaftsdidaktik: Was betrachten Lernende, wenn sie einen naturwissenschaftlichen Text lesen, mathematische Muster erkunden oder mit einem Diagramm arbeiten? Wie fokussieren und verteilen sie ihre Aufmerksamkeit beim Lösen mathematischer und naturwissenschaftlicher Aufgaben? Eye-Tracking liefert Antworten auf diese und weitere Fragen und kann somit dazu beitragen, Lernprozesse besser zu verstehen, Lernmaterialien und Lehrprozesse zu optimieren oder Unterschiede zwischen verschiedenen Expertisegruppen aufzudecken. Dieses Buch stellt aktuelle Studien aus der Mathematik- und Naturwissenschaftsdidaktik (Biologie, Chemie, Physik, Informatik) zusammen, die Eye-Tracking als zentrale Forschungsmethode zur Beantwortung von Fragestellungen entlang der Bildungskette (Primar- und Sekundarstufen sowie Universität) nutzen. Dabei wird deutlich, wie Eye-Tracking bereits etablierte Forschungsmethoden der empirisch forschenden Fachdidaktik, wie das Laute Denken, den Einsatz von Fragebögen oder Experteninterviews, ergänzt.Das Buch zeigt die vielfältigen Anwendungsmöglichkeiten von Eye-Tracking in der Mathematik- und Naturwissenschaftsdidaktik und enthält zahlreiche Best-Practice-Beispiele zum Design und zur Auswertung wissenschaftlicher Studien zum Thema. Das Buch richtet sich damit sowohl an Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler mit unterschiedlicher Erfahrung im Bereich Eye-Tracking als auch an (zukünftige) Lehrkräfte und Dozierende, da aus den empirischen Befunden Handlungsempfehlungen für den Unterricht bzw. die Lehre gegeben werden.
Eyes on the Goal
by John CoyJust before they're due to start middle school, Jackson, Gig, Isaac, and Diego, four sports-loving friends, all attend the same week long soccer camp. Diego is an experienced soccer player, and Gig has a natural ability for the sport he never realized. But Jackson and Isaac are split into another group of players--a group with younger, smaller kids. For the first time, both boys aren't the stars of their team. In fact, they can't seem to get a handle on soccer. At the same time, Jackson is having a hard time getting a handle on his mom's deepening relationship with her boyfriend, and her suggestion that they move in with him. And Gig is worried about his father's deployment to Afghanistan. Here is a story about how life, like sports, can be unpredictable, frustrating, and exhilarating.
Eyewitness to the Past: Strategies for Teaching American History in Grades 5-12
by Joan SchurThroughout history, people have often expressed controversial and conflicting interpretations of current events. In this unique resource, Joan Brodsky Schur reveals how compelling and engaging the study of history becomes when students use documents to imagine living through events in American history. Eyewitness to the Past examines six types of primary sources: diaries, travelogues, letters, news articles, speeches, and scrapbooks. Teachers will find interactive strategies to help students analyze the unique properties of each, and apply to them their own written work and oral argument. Students learn to express opposing viewpoints in documents, classroom interactions, and simulations such as staging congressional hearings, elections, or protests. They build crucial analytical thinking and presentation skills. Used together, the six strategies offer a varied and cohesive structure for studying the American past that reinforces material in the textbook, encourages creativity, activates different learning styles, and strengthens cognitive skills. Each chapter provides detailed instructions for implementing an eyewitness strategy set in a specific era of American history, and includes extensions for adapting the strategy to other time periods. In addition to the primary sources included in the book, examples of student work are presented throughout to aid teachers in evaluating the work of their own students. Rubrics and a list of resources are offered for each eyewitness strategy.

Ezekiel (The Forms of the Old Testament Literature (FOTL) #Volume Xix)
by Ronald M. HalsThis is a print on demand book and is therefore non- returnable. Hals analyzes in detail the structure and intention of the unusually long prophecies of Ezekiel. Because this prophet genuinely qualifies for the designation "theologian," Hals devotes much attention to examining Ezekiel's theological perspective and style. He argues that Ezekiel, despite his proclamations of judgment, is not a prophet of despair. Rather, Ezekiel affirms the stubborn grace of Israel's sovereign Lord — the God who follows his people into the death of exile and loss of nationhood and promises them life out of death via a new exodus, a new "peoplehood," and a new temple.
Ezekiel: An Introduction and Commentary (Tyndale Old Testament Commentaries #Volume 22)
by John B. Taylor"For most Bible readers Ezekiel is almost a closed book," writes John Taylor. "Their knowledge of him extends little further than his mysterious vision of God's chariot-throne, with its wheels within wheels, and the vision of the valley of the dry bones." "Otherwise his book is as forbidding in its size as the prophet himself is in the complexity of his make-up," Taylor goes on. "In its structure, however, if not in its thought and language, the book of Ezekiel has a basic simplicity, and its orderly framework makes it easy to analyze." Taylor, in the introduction to this analysis of Ezekiel, sketches a portrait of the prophet and his times, carefully placing the book and its prophecies within their historical settings. He also provides an overview of the books themes and a clear outline of its contents. The original, unrevised text of this volume has been completely retypeset and printed in a larger, more attractive format with the new cover design for the series.
Ezekiel: A New Heart
by Bruce Vawter Leslie HopperThe prophet Ezekiel speaks passionately of God's fidelity even in the face of his people's infidelity, defending the destruction of Jerusalem as God's judgment while promising a new experience of the divine presence that will bring with it "a new heart" for God's people. Bruce Vawter and Leslie J. Hoppe illuminate the profound theological themes of Ezekiel, making him accessible to people today by stressing his proclamations of judgment and salvation as vital words for the people of God in every age.
Ezekiel, Daniel (Reformation Commentary on Scripture Series #12)
by Carl L. BeckwithThe Reformation era revolution in preaching and interpreting the Bible did not occur without keen attention to the Old Testament Scriptures. This is especially true with regard to the Hebrew prophets. Ezekiel and Daniel, replete with startling, unnerving imagery and visions, apocalyptic oracles of judgment and destruction, captivated the reformers as they sought to understand their time and themselves through the lens of Scripture. Equally, these prophetic books underscored the covenantal promises to God's people and the hope of restoration, which the Reformers understood to be the righteousness of Christ made available in faith. Reformation commentary on the prophets Ezekiel and Daniel are windows into the biblical, theological and pastoral minds of the reformers as they engage the details of the texts, make theological judgments and apply fresh reading of Scripture to their contemporary hearers. Familiar passages, such as Ezekiel's dazzling vision of the wheels, the building of the temple, or Daniel's four beasts, are given new layers and textures. This volume collects the comments of the monumental figures like Luther, Calvin and Melancthon, alongside many lesser known and read thinkers, such as Heinrich Bullinger, Hans Denck, Giovanni Diodati, Johann Gerhard, John Mayer, Matthew Mead, Johann Oecolampadius, Jakob Raupius, Johann Wigand and Andrew Willet. Several beloved English Puritans are included as well: Richard Baxter, John Bunyan, Thomas Manton and John Owen. The wealth of Reformation interpretation on these books of Scripture is brought together for the first time.
Ezra and Nehemiah: Israel Returns from Exile (MacArthur Bible Studies #11)
by John F. MacArthurThe people of Israel were carried away to Babylon, where they lived as exiles and outcasts. God sent this judgment on His people because of their continued unfaithfulness to His word—but the day came when He called them to return to Jerusalem. However, when they arrived there, they discovered things had dramatically changed for the worse. The Temple was destroyed, the city walls were torn down, and the land had been taken over by people who did not want them back. There was work to be done, and it was not going to be easy.In this study, John MacArthur guides readers through an in-depth look at the historical period beginning with Ezra’s early return to Jerusalem, continuing through the teachings of Israel’s prophets during the time, and concluding with Nehemiah and the people’s rebuilding efforts in the city. Studies include close-up examinations of Ezra, Nehemiah, Haggai, Zechariah, and others, as well as careful considerations of doctrinal themes such as “Unequally Yoked” and “”Worshiping God.”The MacArthur Bible Studies provide intriguing examinations of the whole of Scripture. Each guide incorporates extensive commentary, detailed observations on overriding themes, and probing questions to help you study the Word of God with guidance from John MacArthur.

Ezra & the Law in History and Tradition (Studies on Personalities of the Old Testament)
by Lisbeth S. FriedDiscover the real Ezra in this in-depth study of the Biblical figure that separates historical facts from cultural legends.The historical Ezra was sent to Jerusalem as an emissary of the Persian monarch. What was his task? According to the Bible, the Persian king sent Ezra to bring the Torah, the five books of the Laws of Moses, to the Jews. Modern scholars have claimed not only that Ezra brought the Torah to Jerusalem, but also that he actually wrote it, and in so doing Ezra created Judaism. Without Ezra, they say, Judaism would not exist.In Ezra and the Law in History and Tradition, Lisbeth S. Fried separates historical fact from biblical legend. Drawing on inscriptions from the Achaemenid Empire, she presents the historical Ezra in the context of authentic Persian administrative practices and concludes that Ezra, the Persian official, neither wrote nor edited the Torah, nor would he even have known it. The origin of Judaism, so often associated with Ezra by modern scholars, must be sought elsewhere.After discussing the historical Ezra, Fried examines ancient, medieval, and modern views of him, explaining how each originated, and why. She relates the stories told about Ezra by medieval Christians to explain why their Greek Old Testament differs from the Hebrew Bible, as well as the explanations offered by medieval Samaritans concerning how their Samaritan Bible varies from the one the Jews use. Church Fathers as well as medieval Samaritan writers explained the differences by claiming that Ezra falsified the Bible when he rewrote it, so that in effect, it is not the book that Moses wrote but something else. Moslem scholars also maintain that Ezra falsified the Old Testament, since Mohammed, the last judgment, and Heaven and Hell are revealed in it. In contrast Jewish Talmudic writers viewed Ezra both as a second Moses and as the prophet Malachi.In the process of describing ancient, medieval, and modern views of Ezra, Fried brings out various understandings of God, God’s law, and God’s plan for our salvation.“A responsible yet memorable journey into the life and afterlife of Ezra as a key personality in the history, literature and reflection of religious and scholarly communities over the past 2,500 years. A worthwhile and informative read!” —Mark J. Boda, professor of Old Testament, McMaster Divinity College, professor of theology, McMaster University
