Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Political Communications is a now established series of eleven books, the first of which appeared in the aftermath of the watershed General Election of 1979. Cumulatively the series offers unique insights from both practitioner and academic perspectives with commentaries from those responsible for organizing, reporting, and analyzing every campaign held during the last 45 years. The primary focus of the books is to understand the interplay between the rival parties, various media and the voting public, and the similarities and differences between this and previous elections. This book resembles previous volumes in terms of its structure. The content will, however, differ not least because this election ended in the return of a new government. Political Communication in Britain (2024) will provide commentaries from party insiders about a campaign whose outcome was seemingly not in doubt, but which nonetheless delivered some surprising results due to the idiosyncrasies of the UK electoral system. The book will examine the workings and efforts of various rival campaign, both online and off, in the context of a hastily called election held in July for the first time since 1945. The reporting of events and role of journalism in seeking to hold the rival politicians will be discussed including by those responsible for delivering some of the most popular news coverage. A range of polling experts will examine how voters experienced the campaign through use of quantitative and qualitative based forms of analysis to provide insights into why and how so many different parties were able to gain the necessary support to secure representation in the House of Commons. Aside from Labour, the other beneficiaries from this campaign were the Liberal Democrats, Reform UK, the Greens, and a range of independents: the reasons for their successes will be complemented by explorations of why the Conservatives and Scottish Nationalists succumbed to such heavy defeats.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This open access book addresses a central challenge in disability support: how can people with disabilities receive the assistance and guidance they need while retaining the opportunities to identify what matters to them, make meaningful choices, and shape their own lives It examines how immediate and functional needs can be met without losing sight of the person's voice and developing sense of self.To address this challenge, the book draws on humanistic philosophy, introduces humanization as a paradigm shift in disability support, and presents the Holistic Support Model. Alongside advances in rights and inclusion, humanization shifts the focus from overcoming disability and promoting conformity toward recognizing and supporting each person as a unique and authentic human being, with a developing sense of self, personal voice, autonomy, and direction in life.The Holistic Support Model translates these ideas into an integrated framework of humanistic assumptions, theoretical principles, and practical tools. It provides guidance for how support can be understood, planned, and provided in everyday life.The model grew out of the author's three decades of practice, leadership, teaching, and research. Across these settings, a persistent gap remained between advances in rights and their realization in everyday support. Functional goals, risk management, and organizational demands remain important, but the book shows how they can serve, rather than overshadow, the person's own direction in life.Drawing on the experiences of people with disabilities, families, and professionals, the book develops new conceptual distinctions, typologies, and developmental pathways. These include new ways of understanding autonomy, personal meaning, developmental challenges, and relational processes such as developmental dialogue. Together, these contributions may enrich thinking not only in disability support, but also in the broader study of human development and supportive relationships.The Humanistic Perspective as a Lighthouse in Disability Support is a resource for professionals in social work, special education, rehabilitation counseling, psychology, and health care. It also addresses researchers, organizational leaders, policymakers, advocates, people with disabilities, and families, offering a basis for practice, theory development, and policy that places recognition of the humanity within each person at its heart.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This Open Access book is the second volume in a series on quantum technology governance. Volume II provides a systematic examination of governance frameworks, international standards, and ethical dimensions of quantum technologies. It offers a contribution to the ongoing discourse on quantum technology governance beyond law and regulation (considered in volume I). It is one of the first collections offering analyses to explore how quantum technology governance is shaped through international consensus standards-setting, frameworks, and normative principles that operate upstream of legislation and regulation, and can influence technological trajectories, interoperability, legitimacy, and trust. The contributions of the volume examine how developments in quantum computing and related applications reshape governance through layered interactions between technical architectures, consensus standards, institutional coordination, and ethical commitments. It highlights how international harmonized standards can function as de facto governance tools and how ethical considerations can be operationalized without technological exceptionalism, addressing questions of responsibility, fundamental rights, and societal impact. The volume aims to equip scholars, policymakers, standard-setters, and technologists with conceptual and analytical tools to navigate normative uncertainty, as well as manage governance systems across emerging quantum applications, including in high-stakes domains such as the life sciences. Overall, together with Volume I, the contributions aim to equip scholars, policymakers, and practitioners with insights to evaluate the interplay between technical design, regulation, standards, governance frameworks, and ethical considerations in the quantum era.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This textbook focuses on the management of complex problems in the field of environmental chemistry, demonstrating how chemical, physical, and biological processes interact across scales to shape environmental systems. It presents an integrated perspective that bridges conceptual foundations, analytical innovations, and real world applications, offering readers a coherent framework to understand and address the intricate challenges that define modern environmental research.Complexity is a central topic of the philosophy of science, the epistemology and, more generally, of the science in the twentieth century. Nowadays, the problem of addressing the questions posed by complexity science (i.e., the study of phenomena emerging from a collection of numerous interacting objects) in environmental studies can be addressed with new tools such as those developed for the management of multivariate and big (chemical) data (e.g., new chemometric tools and innovative artificial intelligence algorithms). Furthermore, a better understanding of environmental (chemo)dynamics requires an increasingly broad view of natural phenomena and of the large interaction between different environmental compartments.In its first section, the textbook addresses the topic of complexity in the environment from a general point of view, especially in terms of the complex definition of what pollutants are and the complexity of the climate system. Furthermore, some analytical tools (e.g. innovative advanced separation techniques) capable of providing information on the complex composition of natural matter are presented, together with an in-depth description of the statistical tools to be used to address complexity in chemistry, from the basic principles of chemometrics to the application of artificial intelligence algorithms for environmental monitoring. The second section of this book showcases the application of several different approaches to solve complex environmental problems, including quantum chemistry approaches, environmental speciation studies, photodegradation processes, snowpack photochemistry, long term lake chemistry trends, and chemometric case studies that demonstrate the power of data driven environmental insights.Appealing to graduate students, researchers, and professionals in environmental chemistry, environmental science, atmospheric chemistry, analytical chemistry, and climate science, this textbookequips readers with a comprehensive understanding of nature's complexity and the human-environment interaction, essential for achieving sustainable solutions. It is particularly valuable for scientists seeking to integrate complexity-aware thinking into their research or to adopt advanced analytical and computational approaches in the study of environmental systems.…
