Systems Engineering & Management: Ein generischer Ansatz zur Gestaltung und Lenkung sozio-technischer Systeme
by Volker AhrensDieses Buch zeigt Schritt für Schritt, wie man technische Systeme effizient und effektiv entwickelt, realisiert (Engineering) und betreibt (Administration). Dazu wird zunächst erklärt, wie komplexe reale Systeme vereinfacht, also modelliert werden, um ihre relevanten Eigenschaften sichtbar zu machen. Dies erfolgt interdisziplinär, indem neben technologischen auch soziologische und psychologische Aspekte berücksichtigt werden. Anschließend werden fünf allgemeingültige Vorgehensmodelle erläutert, die ausreichen, um Systeme in allen ihren Lebensphasen zu gestalten und zu lenken. Schließlich wird der Problemlösungszyklus im Detail erläutert. Für jede Phase einer Entwicklung wird erklärt, was wann, warum und wie getan werden sollte, um das Vorhaben erfolgreich abzuschließen. Ergänzend werden Bezüge zum Projektmanagement hergestellt. Alle erläuterten Modelle, Methoden, Verfahren und Werkzeuge haben sich in der Praxis schon vielfach bewährt. Daher eignet sich das Buch als Leitfaden für Praktiker*innen und für die akademische Lehre. Vor allem diejenigen, die nicht nur wissen wollen, was sie tun sollen, sondern auch verstehen wollen, warum das eine besser funktioniert als das andere, werden nicht nur entsprechende Erklärungen finden, sondern darüber hinaus auch zahlreiche Anregungen, die zum konstruktiv-kritischen Weiterdenken verleiten und Innovation ermöglichen.

Day Brought Back My Night: Aging and New Vision Loss (Routledge Library Editions: Aging)
by Stephen Charles AinlayOriginally published in 1989, Day Brought Back My Night explores the lives of people who have lost sight in late life as a result of age-related visual disorders. As life-expectancy in western society has increased, the number of people who fall into this group has grown, yet little had been written on this plight. This major study filled the gap in the literature, and will still be of great value to practitioners, scholars, and students in the fields of social gerontology, medicine, social work, and nursing. Stephen Ainlay surveys the various etiologies of age-related visual disorders and establishes the medical framework of the problem. His primary concern, however, is to understand people’s experience of vision loss, and he makes use of extensive interview data to establish the ways in which people come to terms with their own aging. The stories told here reflect people’s responses to a changing body as well as shifting relationships with friends, family members, medical practitioners, and service providers. They reveal hopes and fears, lost priorities, and new initiatives, relationships that recede and relationships that are newly established. Above all, they comment on the drama that is involved in people’s struggle to find continuity in their lives. In this way, the book is as much an exploration into the problem of identity as it is a study of sensory loss in later life.

Becoming the One: Heal Your Past, Transform Your Relationship Patterns, and Come Home to Yourself
by Sheleana AiyanaSpiritual writer and founder of Rising Woman, Sheleana Aiyana takes you on a transformational inner-work journey to heal life-long relationship pattens and reclaim power over your life.Romantic relationships have the ability to infuse our lives with the magic of intimacy and connection. But for many of us, that magic is fleeting–over and over, our relationships don't last, or if they do, they fail to make us happy. We find ourselves chasing unavailable love, sublimating our needs in service to others, or trying to save our partners from themselves, all the while abandoning the one who needs us most–ourselves.If you find yourself struggling to let go after a relationship ends, or you keep hitting the same wall in dating and relationships with emotionally unavailable people, this is not a sign that you are broken. It is a sign that somewhere along the way, you learned to sacrifice yourself in order to be loved. In Becoming the One, spiritual leader and visionary founder of the Rising Woman community Sheleana Aiyana offers a roadmap for transforming your relationship patterns to end the cycle of self-abandonment and move into the light of self-discovery. You'll learn to:• build a secure, loving relationship with yourself.• connect with your inner child.• challenge your core beliefs about love.• set self-affirming boundaries.• discover and celebrate your true desires.• recognize red and green flags.Sheleana's revolutionary lessons, based on wisdom from the traumas of her past and years of guiding thousands of women around the world in her internationally acclaimed "Becoming the One" program of spiritual and therapeutic healing practices, teach you to embody the qualities you are seeking in others so that you can become "the one" for yourself. You'll learn how to trust your body, make peace with your past, and clear the path for healthy, conscious love–one that returns the authority to you to choose how to live and whom to love.The desire for love is wired into the very fibers of our being, but before you can create rewarding bonds with others, first you must stand wholeheartedly in self-acceptance. Becoming the One is an invitation to find your way home to yourself.

Westside Saints: A Novel (The Gilda Carr Tiny Mysteries)
by W.M. AkersReturn to a twisted version of Jazz Age New York in this follow up to the critically acclaimed fantasy Westside, as relentless sleuth Gilda Carr’s pursuit of tiny mysteries drags her into a case that will rewrite everything she knows about her past.Six months ago, the ruined Westside of Manhattan erupted into civil war, and private detective Gilda Carr nearly died to save her city. In 1922, winter has hit hard, and the desolate Lower West is frozen solid. Like the other lost souls who wander these overgrown streets, Gilda is weary, cold, and desperate for hope. She finds a mystery instead.Hired by a family of eccentric street preachers to recover a lost saint’s finger, Gilda is tempted by their promise of “electric resurrection,” when the Westside’s countless dead will return to life. To a detective this cynical, faith is a weakness, and she is fighting the urge to believe in miracles when her long dead mother, Mary Fall, walks through the parlor door.Stricken with amnesia, Mary remembers nothing of her daughter or her death, but that doesn’t stop her from being as infuriatingly pushy as Gilda herself. As her mother threatens to drive her insane, Gilda keeps their relationship a secret so that they can work together to investigate what brought Mary back to life. The search will force Gilda to reckon with the nature of death, family, and the uncomfortable fact that her mother was not just a saint, but a human being.

Fundamentals of Real and Complex Analysis (Springer Undergraduate Mathematics Series)
by Asuman Güven AksoyThe primary aim of this text is to help transition undergraduates to study graduate level mathematics. It unites real and complex analysis after developing the basic techniques and aims at a larger readership than that of similar textbooks that have been published, as fewer mathematical requisites are required. The idea is to present analysis as a whole and emphasize the strong connections between various branches of the field. Ample examples and exercises reinforce concepts, and a helpful bibliography guides those wishing to delve deeper into particular topics. Graduate students who are studying for their qualifying exams in analysis will find use in this text, as well as those looking to advance their mathematical studies or who are moving on to explore another quantitative science.Chapter 1 contains many tools for higher mathematics; its content is easily accessible, though not elementary. Chapter 2 focuses on topics in real analysis such as p-adic completion, Banach Contraction Mapping Theorem and its applications, Fourier series, Lebesgue measure and integration. One of this chapter’s unique features is its treatment of functional equations. Chapter 3 covers the essential topics in complex analysis: it begins with a geometric introduction to the complex plane, then covers holomorphic functions, complex power series, conformal mappings, and the Riemann mapping theorem. In conjunction with the Bieberbach conjecture, the power and applications of Cauchy’s theorem through the integral formula and residue theorem are presented.

Nursing Practice during COVID-19: Preparation, Education and Support
by Kainat Alam Shipra Daniel Abdulaziz Alzahrani Waleed Hassan AlmalkiThis book highlights the progresses achieved in the role of nurses in the hospital, critical care unit, community field, hospital, and at home for patient care management in SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19), especially in the South Asia and the Middle East. Nurses and allied health care professionals play a significant role in preventing and treating the infectious disease pandemic and epidemic that is COVID-19 and, on the front lines of treatment, they suffer an inescapable health risk due to the fact that they must live with, encounter, and accept the hazard of dealing with developing respiratory illnesses. Nurses also endure significant stress, burden, and mental health concerns as a result of worldwide respiratory epidemics. Because of this, nurses require ongoing assistance and training in order to increase their crisis preparation and efficacy while also coping with psychological issues and ensuring their own well-being. This book reflects the experience of Indianand Saudian nurses, develops on COVID-19 stress and challenges and informs on the technologies employed. Nurses' experiences caring for patients with COVID-19 around the world are scarcely documented. The research that has been done so far have mostly focused on the physical and psychological effects of stress. This expands on the role of nurse managers and hospital administration with key stakeholders emphasizing the need of providing support for nurses in their role, especially considering that the positive leadership responsibilities of nurse managers are highly regarded by nurses.
Beyond Profit: The Humanisation of Economics Through the Theory of Equitable Optimality (Contributions to Economics)
by Samir AlamadThis book advocates for a transformative shift in economics, emphasising the need to manage finite resources equitably while safeguarding universal well-being. It introduces the Equitable Optimality economic theory, departing from materialistic views and championing a theory deeply rooted in moral economy, values, and ethics. By integrating spirituality, social justice, and ethics into economic analysis, this model contends that economics can serve the welfare of all, offering a unique lens for economic theory and policy. It challenges prevailing materialistic economic paradigms by proposing an interest-balanced/free financial economy.This economic theory prioritises profit-sharing, societal objectives, and equitable resource allocation, aiming to create a more inclusive society. However, practical implementation and comprehensive research are crucial for understanding its impact and overcoming transitional challenges. The Equitable Optimality economic theory provides a valuable perspective within economics, focusing on ethical foundations, acknowledging non-monetary values, and humanising economic agents. It does not aim to replace conventional economic theories but offers an alternative framework to inspire innovative approaches to economic models and policymaking. Its broader policy perspective aims to foster a more prosperous and harmonious society by integrating ethical considerations, equity and justice into economic decision-making and emphasising societal welfare.
