Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -This study, despite John Ralston Saul¿s assertion that ¿defining popular concepts is a familiar scholastic trap,¿ presents the generally accepted definitions of the state and statehood, along with the main characteristics of the state, its functions, and its role in the formation of statehood as a system. Moreover, the study explores the connections between the main functions of the modern state, its obligations to guarantee national security, and the model for assessing national power. It consistently presents the basic definitions and modern understandings of the essence of the modern state, national security, and national power. Additionally, the study identifies a set of factors that underscore the dominant role of state power in international relations, the leading factors generating national power, and the most current changes in the security environment, covering the most comprehensive contemporary sources and variables for the formation of national power.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 56 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Operational risk has been widely studied and there are international guidelines that provide procedures for the correct management of operational risk; however, this has not been studied from a corporate sustainability point of view. Therefore, this work seeks to find a way to model and optimize the impact of operational risks on corporate sustainability. The methodology used is based on the assignment of two distribution functions for the creation of a probabilistic model that allows quantifying the probability of occurrence (frequency) and the expected monetary impact (severity) on the sustainability variables (environmental, social, and economic). The result is a statistical convolution through Monte Carlo simulation which makes it possible to quantify aggregate losses to finally make an optimization process of the variables and estimate the financial impact. Therefore, this study extends the literature on risk quantification, proposing a stochastic model that quantifies and optimizes the operational risks that are related to corporate sustainability. The proposed model offers a practical way to quantify operational risks related to corporate sustainability.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 56 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -In the current phase of advancement in light scattering optics, it can be asserted that the overarching theory of scattering is presently in a satisfactory, though incomplete, condition. However, specific experimental techniques, particularly the requisite measuring apparatus, remain underdeveloped. This circumstance underscores pertinent scientific foundational objectives, notably the meticulous examination of scattering phenomena in tangible entities through mathematical models or direct measurement of matter's optical parameters based on established principles. Nevertheless, these patterns were disregarded in conventional measurement techniques. Consequently, addressing this issue could substantially enhance measurement precision and the reliability of biological object control and diagnostic outcomes.The dissertation scrutinizes existing approximate techniques for computer-simulated scattering, which are rapid and straightforward, yet lack clearly defined applicability boundaries, alongside experimental investigations and the analysis of experimental data from a laboratory setup to assess biological micro-object parameters.Key words: Laser radiation, blood, speckle fields.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 84 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Revolt maybe starts with a deep and far feeling, something which only can be enunciated by poetry. That philosophical portrait of a writer, novelist, journalist and activist (for gays rights) lists a few topics which are almost all political ones and some of them still current. It deals also with a style, regarding both life and work, which remains attractive despite such a very controversial (uncompromising) man ; I first decided to initiate my research because of Guy Hocquenghem¿s temper, and met many oppositions. I was studying something new, then untold (nothing or only but silence), and I managed to release my book two years after my work : thanks to my humble French publisher. Nine years behind now, here is my own translation of that short essay.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 60 pp. Englisch.
