Remote Sensing Image Fusion: A Practical Guide gives an introduction to remote sensing image fusion providing an overview on the sensors and applications. It describes data selection, application requirements and the choice of a suitable image fusion technique. It comprises a diverse selection of successful image fusion cases that are relevant to other users and other areas of interest around the world. The book helps newcomers to obtain a quick start into the practical value and benefits of multi-sensor image fusion. Experts will find this book useful to obtain an overview on the state of the art and understand current constraints that need to be solved in future research efforts. For industry professionals the book can be a great introduction and basis to understand multisensor remote sensing image exploitation and the development of commercialized image fusion software from a practical perspective. The book concludes with a chapter on current trends and future developments in remote sensing image fusion. Along with the book, RSIF website provides additional up-to-date information in the field.

Every church, every organization, has experienced them: betrayal, deception, grumbling, envy, exclusion. They make life together difficult and prevent congregations from developing the skills, virtues, and practices they need to nurture sturdy, life-giving communities. In Living into Community Christine Pohl explores four specific Christian practices -- gratitude, promise-keeping, truth-telling, and hospitality -- that can counteract those destructive forces and help churches and individuals build and sustain vibrant communities. Drawing on a wealth of personal and professional experience and interacting with the biblical, historical, and moral traditions, Pohl thoughtfully discusses each practice, including its possible complications and deformations, and points to how these essential practices can be better cultivated within communities and families.

Although hospitality was central to Christian identity and practice in earlier centuries, our generation knows little about its life-giving character. Over the past three hundred years, understandings of hospitality have shrunk to entertainment at home and to the hospitality industry's provision of service through hotels and restaurants. But for most of the history of the church, hospitality was central to the gospel and a crucial practical expression of care, relationship, and respect.

This penetrating new work by Christine Pohl revisits the Christian foundations of welcoming strangers and explores the necessity, difficulty, and blessing of hospitality today. The book offers an original argument that traces the eclipse of this significant Christian practice, showing the initial centrality of hospitality and the importance of recovering it for contemporary life.

Combining rich biblical and historical research with extensive interviewing of contemporary service communities -- the Catholic Worker, L'Abri, L'Arche, Good Works, Annunciation House, St. John's Abbey, and others -- this book shows how understanding the key features of hospitality can better equip us to respond faithfully to contemporary needs and challenges.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2012 im Fachbereich Soziologie - Kinder und Jugend, Note: 1,7, Hochschule Magdeburg-Stendal; Standort Stendal, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Unter der Fragestellung ob Kinder als moralisch Handelnde wahrgenommen werden konnen, soll es in der folgenden Arbeit um den Status der Kinder bzw. der Kindheit in unserer Gesellschaft gehen und wie sie dazu gekommen sind. Die Frage ob sie moralisch Handelnde sind stellt sich deshalb, weil ein sozialer Status stark beeinflusst wird durch die Einschatzung anderer uber das moralische Urteilsvermogen eines Menschen. Jemand der fahig ist, mitzudenken, zu argumentieren und daraus schliessend moralisch zu urteilen, wird gleich viel hoher eingeschatzt und ihm wird mehr zugetraut. Ebenso verhalt es sich bei Kindern und Jugendlichen. Es werden Beispiele dafur genannt wo man Potenzial fur einen moglichen hoheren Status findet und welche Position Kinder eigentlich gerne hatten

Die Arbeit befasst sich mit der Fragestellung, ob und unter welchen Voraussetzungen der zivilprozessuale Einwand anderweitiger Rechtshangigkeit auch im schiedsgerichtlichen Verfahren Anwendung findet. Den Schwerpunkt der Untersuchung bildet hierbei der schiedsinterne Kollisionsfall. Die Autorin erarbeitet die Thematik anhand von Verfahrenskonstellationen, in denen der Rechtshangigkeitseinwand relevant werden kann. Zu Vergleichszwecken erfolgen kurze Exkurse in auslandische Rechtsordnungen wie dem US-amerikanischen Schiedsrecht. Abschliessend untersucht die Autorin die Berucksichtigung anderweitiger auslandischer Rechtshangigkeit im schiedsgerichtlichen Verfahren am Beispiel Deutschland/USA, als rechtliche Grundlage dient ihr dabei Art. V des UNUE.
