Przedsiębiorstwa z branży technologicznej ciągle mierzą się z silną konkurencją. Nietrudno zrozumieć, co stanowi o przewadze firmy niezależnie od branży czy wielkości. Wygrywanie wymaga utrzymywania przewagi konkurencyjnej, jaką jest zdolność określania, wdrażania i osiągania poziomów wydajności nieosiągalnych dla konkurencji. Najczęściej przewaga konkurencyjna ma dwa źródła. Pierwszym jest dostarczanie funkcjonalnych rozwiązań, które dają radość użytkownikom. Drugim -- wykorzystywanie właściwych danych do wdrażania odpowiedniej strategii, która wciąż podlega optymalizacji. Zastosowanie w tych działaniach rozwiązań z dziedziny sztucznej inteligencji znacznie przyczynia się do sukcesu firmy.

Numerous laws - including the Green New Deal - have been proposed or passed in cities, states, and countries to transition from fossil fuels to 100% clean, renewable energy in order to address climate change, air pollution, and energy insecurity. This textbook lays out the science, technology, economics, policy, and social aspects of such transitions. It discusses the renewable electricity and heat generating technologies needed; the electricity, heat, cold, and hydrogen storage technologies required; how to keep the electric power grid stable; and how to address non-energy sources of emissions. It discusses the history of the 100% Movement, which evolved from a collaboration among scientists, cultural leaders, business people, and community leaders. Finally, it discusses current progress in transitioning to 100% renewables, and the new policies needed to complete the transition. Online course supplements include lecture slides, answers to the end-of-chapter student exercises, and a list of extra resources.

From acclaimed archaeologist and bestselling author Eric Cline, a breathtaking account of how the collapse of an ancient civilized world ushered in the first Dark Ages In 1177 B.C., marauding groups known only as the "Sea Peoples" invaded Egypt. The pharaoh's army and navy defeated them, but the victory so weakened Egypt that it soon slid into decline, as did most of the surrounding civilizations. Eric Cline tells the gripping story of how the end was brought about by multiple interconnected failures, ranging from invasion and revolt to earthquakes, drought, famine, and the cutting of international trade routes. Bringing to life a vibrant multicultural world, he draws a sweeping panorama of the empires of the age and shows that it may have been their very interdependence that hastened their dramatic collapse. Now revised and updated, 1177 B.C. sheds light on the complex ties that gave rise to, and eventually destroyed, the flourishing civilizations of the Late Bronze Age-and set the stage for the emergence of classical Greece and, ultimately, our world today.

This comprehensive, case-based resource provides the state-of-the-art knowledge that can help readers improve access and optimize delivery of stroke thrombectomy. Improving access to stroke is of particular importance because patients often misinterpret their symptoms or cannot speak for themselves if they have aphasia. More importantly, access needs to be organized because stroke therapies are all extremely time-sensitive. Scalable, choreographed protocols are necessary for emergency medical systems to 'capture' stroke patients and automatically transport and triage to time-sensitive treatments. Many of the chapters in the first section on Fundamentals and Systems provide valuable insight in improving access to stroke care. Replete with illustrative case studies and emphasizing that treatment approaches to stroke should not be comprised of a one-size-fits-all approach, this illuminating title provides the complete thought, detail, insight and organization that will help readers meet the needs of stroke patients with large vessel occlusions. 12 Strokes: A Case-based Guide to Acute Ischemic Stroke Management examines the primary technical principles that underlie the current thrombectomy approaches. Instead of continuing the conceptual dichotomy of stent vs. aspiration, many of the chapters look at underlying principles and then discuss ways in which the currently available devices and approaches can best exploit them. The variety, creativity and detail in many of these chapters will help the reader develop a deeper understanding that might assist their ability to successfully take care of their next patient that 'doesn't follow the textbook.' In addition, the anatomic and pathophysiologic classification of the core Twelve Chapters will help readers organize their thinking and approach. This knowledge, particularly because it is organized based on common, challenging syndromes, will arm the reader to quickly recognize patterns and deftly adapt their management approaches to the needs of the patient. An invaluable contribution to the clinical literature, 12 Strokes: A Case-based Guide to Acute Ischemic Stroke Management will be of great interest to not only neurosurgeons and neurologists but other specialists, primary care providers, and trainees as well. .

The 1720 Imperial Circumcision Celebrations in Istanbul offers the first holistic examination of an Ottoman public festival through an in-depth inquiry into different components of the 1720 event. Through a critical and combined analysis of the hitherto unknown archival sources along with the textual and pictorial narratives on the topic, the book vividly illustrates the festival's organizational details and preparations, its complex rites (related to consumption, exchange, competition), and its representation in court-commissioned illustrated festival books (surnames). To analyze all these phases in a holistic manner, the book employs an interdisciplinary approach by using the methodological tools of history, art history, and performance studies and thus, provides a new methodological and conceptual framework for the study of Ottoman celebrations.

• Volume 1. Napoleon absent, coalition ascendant
• volume 2. The Coalition Crumbles, Napoleon Returns.

"The writings of Carl von Clausewitz (1780-1831) are among the most important works on war ever written. Much of the focus has understandably been on his great theoretical work On War, published in 1832. That work, however, formed only the first three of the ten volumes of his published writings. For Napoleon Absent, Coalition Ascendant, Murray and Pringle have chosen the original version of the text published in 1833 which is the first of the two volumes originally published as Der Feldzug von 1799 in Italien und der Schweiz. In these two volumes, Clausewitz describes and analyses the campaigns of 1799 in Italy and Switzerland, providing a superb history of this episode of the French Revolutionary wars. He covers the campaigns in detail and provides excellent analysis of their events, along with what he identifies as the changes in warfare that rocked Europe from 1792-1815. These campaigns were an important part of the wars of the French Revolution and Napoleonic period, but they have never been covered adequately from a historical standpoint."-- Provided by publisher.

Historians often think of Russia before the 1860s in terms of conservative stasis, when the "gendarme of Europe" secured order beyond the country's borders and entrenched the autocratic system at home. This book offers a profoundly different vision of Russia under Nicholas I. Drawing on an extensive array of sources, it reveals that many of modern Russia's most distinctive and outstanding features can be traced back to an inconspicuous but exceptional year. Russia became what it did, in no small measure, because of 1837. The catalogue of the year's noteworthy occurrences extends from the realms of culture, religion, and ideas to those of empire, politics, and industry. Exploring these diverse issues and connecting seemingly divergent historical actors, Paul W. Werth reveals that the 1830s in Russia were a period of striking dynamism and consequence, and that 1837 was pivotal for the country's entry into the modern age. From the romantic death of Russia's greatest poet Alexander Pushkin in January to a colossal fire at the Winter Palace in December, Russia experienced much that was astonishing in 1837: the railway and provincial press appeared, Russian opera made its debut, Orthodoxy pushed westward, the first Romanov visited Siberia-and much else besides. The cumulative effect was profound. The country's integration accelerated, and a Russian nation began to emerge, embodied in new institutions and practices, within the larger empire. The result was a quiet revolution, after which Russia would never be the same.

"Il y a un peu plus d'un siècle et demi, en 1857, la censure visait trois auteurs célèbres : Flaubert, Baudelaire et Sue, poursuivis par un même homme : Ernest Pinard, appuyé par un système de censure alors à son apogée. Les circonstances sont probablement inédites dans les annales de l'histoire de la littérature, mais servent toujours de témoignage dès lors qu'Anastasie tente de brandir ses ciseaux. Le responsable de la frénésie moralisatrice de 1857 n'était ni le premier, ni le dernier de son espèce. Jeune procureur aux convictions fluctuantes, mais assez habile pour se hisser à la hauteur de ses ambitions, Ernest Pinard gravit les échelons de la magistrature à la faveur du régime autoritaire et bourgeois de Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte, selon lui parangon du gouvernement idéal. Qui sont, en 1857, les auteurs victimes du zèle d'Ernest Pinard, et que s'est-il joué précisément dans les procès de Charles Baudelaire, Gustave Flaubert et Eugène Sue ?"--Page 4 of cover.

With austerity biting hard and fascism on the march at home and abroad, the Britain of the 1930s grappled with many problems familiar to us today. Moving beyond the traditional focus on 'the Auden generation', this book surveys the literature of the period in all its diversity, from working class, women, queer and postcolonial writers to popular crime and thriller novels. In this way, the book explores the uneven processes of modernization and cultural democratization that characterized the decade. A major critical re-evaluation of the decade, the book covers such writers as Eric Ambler, Mulk Raj Anand, Katharine Burdekin, Agatha Christie, Lewis Grassic Gibbon, Christopher Isherwood, Storm Jameson, Ethel Mannin, Naomi Mitchison, George Orwell, Christina Stead, Evelyn Waugh and many others.

The 2018/2019 Indonesian elections were among the most divisive elections in Indonesian history, where identity politics and ethno-religious sentiments were prevalent not just during the 2019 presidential election, but also during the 2018 regional executive elections as well. Contributors to this edited volume analysed the dynamics between identity politics, national and local politics and produce findings and insights that will inform prospective readers regarding the future of identity politics and how it may affect Indonesian politics for the intermediate future. This book is an up-to-date study addressing contemporary Indonesian politics that should be read by Indonesian Studies and more broadly Southeast Asian Studies specialists. It is also a useful reference for those studying Electoral Politics, Religion and Politics, and Comparative Politics.

Category theory emerged in the 1940s in the work of Samuel Eilenberg and Saunders Mac Lane. It describes relationships between mathematical structures. Outside of pure mathematics, category theory is an important tool in physics, computer science, linguistics, and a quickly-growing list of other sciences. This book is about 2-dimensional categories, which add an extra dimension of richness and complexity to category theory. 2-Dimensional Categories is an introduction to 2-categories and bicategories, assuming only the most elementary aspects of category theory. A review of basic category theory is followed by a systematic discussion of 2-/bicategories, pasting diagrams, lax functors, 2-/bilimits, the Duskin nerve, 2-nerve, internal adjunctions, monads in bicategories, 2-monads, biequivalences, the Bicategorical Yoneda Lemma, and the Coherence Theorem for bicategories. Grothendieck fibrations and the Grothendieck construction are discussed next, followed by tricategories, monoidal bicategories, the Gray tensor product, and double categories. Completely detailed proofs of several fundamental but hard-to-find results are presented for the first time. With exercises and plenty of motivation and explanation, this book is useful for both beginners and experts.

This book describes how "makers" with no medical experience became and remain clinically important because they utilized 3D printing to produce supplies for healthcare, including medical and non-medical devices, and to improve the quality of life for patients with COVID-19 and those who care for them. It shows how 3D printing became vital during the pandemic due to its broad availability and the inherently digital nature of the work that enables thriving digital exchanges and work in isolation. Subsequent chapters highlight some of the "maker" communities' efforts that made a difference in their part of North America. Each contribution describes the unique experiences, challenges, and successes. While this book is written and edited mostly from a medical perspective, additional input from medical engineers, administrators, attorneys, and public safety officials enables a broad perspective to highlight some of the ingenuity from the North American 3D printing community who responded to the initial case volumes of COVID-19. .

There has been an evolution of the explanations on the results of research on human learning and how digital technologies have supported the design of more efficient learning environments. Previous theories such as Richard Mayer's cognitive theory of multimedia learning and John Sweller's cognitive load theory have gained signification attention and remain the two main theories within the multimedia learning field. However, there has not yet been a book compiled of several investigations on the specific 4C-ID model that covers different domains of knowledge. The 4C-ID model combines the two main theories of Richard Mayer and John Sweller to advance the field of learning and instruction. 4C-ID Model and Cognitive Approaches to Instructional Design and Technology: Emerging Research and Opportunities explores the behavioral and constructivist approaches to learning and instruction and focuses mainly on the particular cognitive approach and resulting theories and insights of the 4C-ID model. The chapters present the results of three experimental studies applied to the teaching of electrical circuits, initiation to computer programming using the Alice microworld, and computer programming using Python textual language. This book is a valuable resource tool for computer programmers, computer scientists, teachers, educational psychologists, practitioners, researchers, academicians, and students interested in the various approaches to learning and instruction in terms of the 4C-ID instructional model.

With more than 1,400 species, bats are an incredibly diverse and successful group of mammals that can serve as model systems for many unique evolutionary adaptations. Flight has allowed them to master the sky, while echolocation enables them to navigate in the dark. Being small, secretive, nocturnal creatures has made bats a challenge to study, but over the past 50 years, innovative research has made it possible to dispel some of the mystery and myth surrounding them to give us a better understanding of the role these animals play in the ecosystem. The structure of the book is based on several broad themes across the biological sciences, including the evolution of bats, their ecology and behavior, and conservation of biodiversity. Within these themes are more specific topics on important aspects of bat research, such as morphology, molecular biology, echolocation, taxonomy, systematics, threats to bats, social structure, reproduction, movements, and feeding strategies. Given its scope, the book will appeal to the wider scientific community, environmental organizations, and government policymakers who are interested in the interdisciplinary aspects of biology and nature.

With 5G, telecommunications networks have entered a new phase. 5G mobile networks use unique concepts and technologies to deliver current and future applications across a wide spectrum, from high bit-rate smartphones to high-availability car-to-x and mass IoT applications. This book on 5G technology starts with the evolution of mobile networks to 5G. It then addresses basic concepts and technologies such as NGN, IMS, virtualization with NFV and MEC, SDN, and Service Function Chaining. The 5G environment is comprehensively presented, starting with use cases and usage scenarios and moving on to concrete requirements, as well as the standardization at ITU and especially 3GPP, including regulation. In this context, the 5G system design, the 5G access networks with their high-performance transmission technology, and the core network with the innovative concepts of Service Based Architecture and Network Slicing play a significant role. A 5G system is presented here in an integrated view, rounded off by an overview of all relevant IT security aspects. The overall view is concluded by looking at the environmental influences of electromagnetic radiation and the energy and raw material resources requirements. Furthermore, the future development of 5G up to 6G is outlined. The book's main objective is to provide people interested in 5G technology and application scenarios with a well-founded knowledge for an introduction to 5G and encourage further discussion of this topic. The target audience is generally technically interested persons, mostly employees of public and private network operators. This book should be of particular interest, especially within the IT departments of potential 5G user companies, and of course, among computer science and electrical engineering students.

"Citoyens d'Allemagne sous la République de Weimar, ou de l'Empire Austro-Hongrois, ils vivent dans ces deux pays hostiles, dont les populations, mal disposées à leur égard, jettent sur eux un regard discriminatoire les désignant comme juifs et les excluent de leur société. S'ils ne veulent pas être vus ou lus comme auteurs juifs, il leur faut se délester du judaïsme ancestral, emprunter pour leurs écrits, la langue allemande pratiquée par les grands écrivains. Ainsi Karl Kraus s'instaure en cerbère de la langue de Goethe, avec une exigence quasi fanatique... Ernst Kantorowicz s'invite dans les cercles prussiens les plus fermés, fasciné par la germanité chevaleresque médiévale... Alfred Dôblin s'insère dans la foi catholique par une dévotion à Jésus Christ... Joseph Roth, porté par son admiration pour l'Empereur habsbourgeois, prétend au grade d'officier de sa garde... Theodor Lessing éprouve un bonheur amoureux auprès d'une jeune fille apparentée à la Maison Hohenzollern... Alfred Kantorowicz combat le fascisme en Espagne dirigeant une brigade républicaine contre Franco... Anna Seghers devient militante communiste, ses convictions jamais démenties... Hannah Arendt se revendique juive, quand le regard de l'autre la désigne comme telle, non juive intérieurement... Arthur Koestler reconsidère l'image du jeune juif nouveau, pelle sur l'épaule, mitraillette en bandoulière, prêt au combat pour un retour à la terre des ancêtres. Sioniste libéré de toute religiosité, il fuit les tenants du culte, fidèles aux Écritures selon lesquelles Dieu seul peut rendre la Terre Promise. En 1933, dès que commence la persécution des Juifs, ces affranchis du judaïsme deviennent les premières cibles. Et ceux d'entre eux, épris de germanité, désormais floués, devront vite se décider à l'exil. Sinon, ils n'auront d'autre choix que le suicide ou attendre d'être assassinés par ceux-là même qu'ils vénéraient."--Page 4 of cover.

"L'action se déroule de nos jours au château d'Éparvay, dans l'arrière-pays d'Écorcheville, cité bâtie au bord du Styx. L'esclavage n'y a jamais été aboli. La proximité relative des Enfers entraîne des précipitations insolites, pluies d'animaux et d'insectes divers, ainsi que l'échouage occasionnel de créatures venues de l'autre rive : centaure, sirène, satyre, minotaure... Alphan Bogue, docteur en histoire de l'artrentre à Écorcheville pour s'y marier. Son père, brocanteur à la retraite, le presse de dérober pour lui au château d'Éparvay un autoportrait supposé de Rembrandt adolescent. Spécialiste de la peinture baroque, Alphan s'introduit dans le château pour expertiser le tableautin. Quand il franchit une porte basse donnant sur les soubassements de l'énorme édifice métamorphique, l'aventure commence... L'imaginaire qui se déploie dans ce roman-monde n'a pas d'équivalent dans la littérature française contemporaine. Romancier et nouvelliste, Georges-Olivier Châteaureynaud a été distingué par le prix Renaudot pour La Faculté des songes en 1982 et le Goncourt de la nouvelle pour Singe savant tabassé par deux clowns en 2005. À propos de L'Autre rive, premier volet du diptyque, roman culte qui remporta en 2007 le Grand Prix de l'Imaginaire : "Châteaureynaud, parfait romancier fabulateur." Paris Match Enfin le plaisir d'un vrai roman ! Profond, inventif, tumultueux, généreux..." Livres Hebdo Une inconcevable expérience limite : ce que ne devrait jamais cesser d'être la littérature." La Croix On aborde avec curiosité cette vaste saga aux multiples facettes, puis on se laisse aller à la surprise, à l'étonnement..." Le Monde des Livres Une imagination débordante, une cascade de rebondissements, d'intrigues qui s'entremêlent, un humour décalé, une éblouissante maîtrise de la langue." Le Figaro "Un des grands romans français de ce début de siècle." La Règle du Jeu "Châteaureynaud accède comme naturellement au registre mythique." Le Soir"--Page 4 of cover.

""Ce jour-là j'ai compris ce qui me troublait. Peut-être moins le spectacle de la douleur, de la déraison, du dénuement, que cette lutte qui ne s'éteint jamais, au bout d'un an comme de vingt, en dépit des traitements qui érodent la volonté et du sens de la défaite, ça ne meurt jamais, c'est la vie qui insiste, dont on ne vient jamais à bout malgré la chambre d'isolement et les injections à haute dose. Tous refusent, contestent, récusent, aucune folie ne les éloigne définitivement de cet élan-là. " Durant toute une année, Joy Sorman s'est rendue au pavillon 4B d'un hôpital psychiatrique et y a recueilli les paroles de ceux que l'on dit fous et de leurs soignants. De ces hommes et de ces femmes aux existences abîmées, l'auteure a fait un livre dont Franck, Maria, Catherine, Youcef, Barnabé et Robert sont les inoubliables personnages. À la folie est le roman de leur vie enfermée."--Page 4 of cover.

"Qui connaît aujourd'hui Barthélemy Thimonnier, tailleur et inventeur de la machine à coudre ? Ses premières mécaniques furent détruites par des ouvriers. Ses brevets détournés. Thimonnier, qui croyait au siècle industriel, n'aura fait que le subir et sera effacé par le triomphe commercial de l'américain Singer. Le roman retrace cette contradiction, celle d'un homme qui rêvait de prospérité et que la croissance du capitalisme a précipité dans la misère et l'oubli. À la machine est aussi l'histoire d'une machine à coudre, achetée dans les années 60 en Algérie, qui accompagna la mère de l'auteure dans son exil en France."--Page 4 of cover.

"À l'approche de la soixantaine, une femme doit faire des efforts pour atténuer les rides et bien choisir ses petites culottes, surtout quand elle n'a pas la silhouette d'Ursula Andress. Des efforts, l'héroïne de ce roman en fait encore, le soir, pour rompre sa solitude sur les sites de rencontre, livrée aux faux-semblants du virtuel. Avec Norbert (rencontré sur Meetic), elle baise, elle va à la piscine, elle parle de tout, de sexe, du salaire des patrons du CAC 40, des migrants, de #Me too, de sa future (toute petite) retraite. Elle lui parle de poésie, il répond T'as pas d'autres sujets en réserve ? Il cite la sélection de l'équipe de France, elle préfère Kafka, il la voudrait en robe, elle préfère les pantalons. A part ça, ils s'entendent bien. À la piscine avec Norbert est un texte cru, drôle et enjoué, une réponse féminine et féministe aux Houellebecq de tous bords."--Page 4 of cover.

"En cette année 1901, la première du siècle qui s'ouvre, ils sont cent quatre-vingts reçus au concours d'entrée à l'École polytechnique. Tous des hommes, personne n'imaginant encore qu'il puisse en être autrement. Tous conscients d'entrer dans l'une des écoles les plus prestigieuses de France, celle qui forme l'élite de la nation et appartient aux grands mythes du pays. Entre eux, ils s'appellent les "X 1901". Une brillante carrière au service de l'État, notamment dans l'armée, les attend. Mais les temps ont changé, et beaucoup vont emprunter d'autres voies. Qui sont ces jeunes gens ? Qu'ont-ils accompli ? Dans un ouvrage mené comme une enquête, Hervé Joly retrace l'histoire de chacun d'entre eux. De leurs origines sociales à l'entrée à l'École, des rudes années de formation à l'ensemble de leur parcours, il les suit pas à pas dans leurs réussites ou leurs échecs. Si aucun ne figure parmi les célébrités de Polytechnique, nombreux sont ceux qui ont atteint les plus hauts sommets du pouvoir. Quelques-uns ont connu des carrières plus chaotiques, voire médiocres. Certains sont morts au champ d'honneur de la Grande Guerre. De la débâcle à la déportation, ils ne seront pas épargnés par la Seconde Guerre mondiale. "Un titre d'État acquis à 20 ans et sur lequel une vie entière se sera parfois échafaudée", note Antoine Compagnon dans la préface. Un destin qui repose tout entier entre les mains de ces jeunes élèves dont les itinéraires de vie offrent ici une autre histoire de la France, de la Belle Époque aux Trente Glorieuses."--Page 4 of cover.

"Aaron Turner’s Arkansas delta community and family taught him to know and understand African American history, honor its heroes, and respect his elders. The simple and profound gift of this upbringing has allowed him to pursue the role of Black artist and activist in our culture with unapologetic, single-minded intensity. Turner is in many ways acknowledging, standing on, and building from this foundation in his work. With deep affinity for the formal qualities of black-and-white photography, Aaron Turner uses his large format camera and the alchemical darkroom process to move back and forth between abstraction, still life, collage, and appropriated archival images to literally take apart and then reconstruct his photographic images. The color black itself has a presence in this work--infinite, elegant, unknowable. Turner is also a painter; his use of large swaths of black is both a metaphor for race and related to abstraction and its emphasis on process, materials, and color itself as subject."--Light Work description online at source URL: https://www.lightwork.org/product/contact-sheet-210-aaron-turner/

Many of the English translations of Indigenous languages that we commonly use today have been handed down from colonial missionaries whose intent was to fundamentally alter or destroy prior Indigenous knowledge and praxis. In this text, author Mark D. Freeland develops a theory of worldview that provides an interrelated logical mooring to shed light on the issues around translating Indigenous languages in and out of colonial languages. In tandem with other linguistic and narrative methods, this theory of worldview can be employed to help root out the reproduction of colonial culture in Indigenous languages and can be a useful addition to the repertoire of tools needed to return to life-giving relationships with our environment. These issues of decolonization are highlighted in the trajectory of treaty language associated with relationships to land and their present-day importance. This book uses the 1836 Treaty of Washington and its contemporary manifestation in Great Lakes fishing rights and the State of Michigan's 2007 Inland Consent Decree as a means of identifying the role of worldview in deciphering the logics embedded in Anishinaabe thought associated with these relationships to land. A fascinating study for students of Indigenous and linguistic disciplines, this book deftly demonstrates the significance of worldview theory in relation to the logics of decolonization of Indigenous thought and praxis.
