Dieses praxisnahe Buch führt durch den ökologischen Kontext und erklärt, warum Nachhaltigkeit unverzichtbar ist. In einer Welt, die zunehmend von Klimawandel, Ressourcenknappheit und steigenden gesetzlichen und gesellschaftlichen Anforderungen geprägt ist, wird nachhaltiges Wirtschaften zum Erfolgsfaktor. Aus Basis der Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) werden die drei Nachhaltigkeitsdimensionen (Ökonomie, Ökologie und Soziales) zum neuen Bewertungsmaßstab für nachhaltiges Wirtschaften und sichern damit die „license to operate“ für jedes Unternehmen. Es beleuchtet die Herausforderungen, denen sich Unternehmen stellen müssen und zeigt, wie nachhaltiges Wirtschaften in der Praxis funktioniert, welche Erfolgsfaktoren dabei eine Rolle spielen und wie Sie Impact statt Greenwashing erzielen!

Neoliberal political discourses have normalised the belief in northern European countries that individuals are responsible for their health and wellbeing, regardless of social class, gender or ethnic background. Drawing on examples from Germany, Sweden and the UK, Simmonds critically examines how the neoliberalisation and marketisation of health and social care have created an adverse environment for older people, who lack social and cultural capital to access the care they need. This crucial analysis scrutinises provision for ageing populations on an individual, national and global level. Challenging current political and social policy approaches, this rigorous text discusses innovative solutions to contemporary challenges in a complex care system.

The information contained in this book has served as the basis for a graduate-level biostatistics class at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The book focuses in the General Linear Model (GLM) theory, stated in matrix terms, which provides a more compact, clear, and unified presentation of regression of ANOVA than do traditional sums of squares and scalar equations. The book contains a balanced treatment of regression and ANOVA yet is very compact. Reflecting current computational practice, most sums of squares formulas and associated theory, especially in ANOVA, are not included. The text contains almost no proofs, despite the presence of a large number of basic theoretical results. Many numerical examples are provided, and include both the SAS code and equivalent mathematical representation needed to produce the outputs that are presented. All exercises involve only "real" data, collected in the course of scientific research. The book is divided into sections covering the following topics: * Basic Theory * Multiple Regression * Model Building and Evaluation * ANOVA * ANCOVA

This focused volume presents a deep exploration and new interpretations of the winter paintings of Pieter Bruegel the Elder (ca. 1525–1569). By applying new methodological approaches and interdisciplinary research to these masterpieces of Flemish Renaissance art, including Winter Landscape with Skaters and Bird Trap (1565) and The Census at Bethlehem (1566), both at the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium, the book offers an enhanced understanding of the painter’s relationship to his time and the extent to which his winter landscapes were meant to reflect real-life situations. After tracing how these paintings have been understood over time, the essays propose new insights into such issues as whether Bruegel depicts the plight of the local populace during winter and whether The Census at Bethlehem challenges or reaffirms central power structures. Abundantly illustrated, Bruegel’s Winter Scenes is both a thorough examination and a celebration of these widely admired images.Distributed for Mercatorfonds.
