This handbook is a concise guide for all those who aim at obtaining a basic knowledge of European tax law. Designed for students, it should also be useful for experienced international tax specialists with little knowledge of European law, European law specialists who are reluctant to approach the technicalities of direct taxation and non-Europeans who deal with Europe for business or academic reasons and need to understand the foundations of European tax law. This book should also help academics without a legal background to approach the technical issues raised by European Union tax law. This edition contains selected relevant information available as of 30 June 2022. It retains all of the features and tools contained in the previous editions (including the final charts, which our readers very much appreciate). In this edition we have also included a list of relevant documents and a selection of reference textbooks on European tax law in five languages, which we found of potential interest to our readers.

The fear of death may translate into the desire for longevity. However, longevity is a true blessing only if it is coupled with good health. Healthiness, in today's expectation, is not simply a disease free state. Rather, it is very much a state of wellbeing and competence, both physically and socially. While Oriental medicine emphasizes on the promotion of physiological balance and internal balance as an integral requirement for longevity, other cultures also have various sophisticated concepts and orientations. This book successfully collates all the different views and approaches from Austria, Russia, China and Japan in the exploration of Health, Wellbeing, Competence and Aging.

This volume focuses on the highly debated topic of theatrical translation, one brought on by a renewed interest in the idea of performance and translation as a cooperative effort on the part of the translator, the director, and the actors. Exploring the role and function of the translator as co-subject of the performance, it addresses current issues concerning the role of the translator for the stage, as opposed to the one for the editorial market, within a multifarious cultural context. The current debate has shown a growing tendency to downplay and challenge the notion of translational accuracy in favor of a recreational and post-dramatic attitude, underlying the role of the director and playwright instead. This book discusses the delicate balance between translating and directing from an intercultural, semiotic, aesthetic, and interlingual perspective, taking a critical stance on approaches that belittle translation for the theatre or equate it to an editorial practice focused on literality. Chapters emphasize the idea of dramatic translation as a particular and extremely challenging type of performance, while consistently exploring its various textual, intertextual, intertranslational, contextual, cultural, and intercultural facets. The notion of performance is applied to textual interpretation as performance, interlingual versus intersemiotic performance, and (inter)cultural performance in the adaptation of translated texts for the stage, providing a wide-ranging discussion from an international group of contributors, directors, and translators.

The nature of work is changing, due to demographic shifts, globalization, and digitization. Regional local labor markets are in global competition for (highly) qualified and specialized workers. At the same time, the workforce's desire for flexibility and the increasing speed at which skill requirements are changing are producing disparities at the spatial, social, and economic levels. This book discusses the global and local drivers behind these developments. It explores the factors which cause global inequalities between urban and rural areas, and highlights how cities, regions and countries attract these sought-after employees to address skills shortages. The book includes an in-depth case study on high-skilled workers in South Tyrol, Italy. No single academic discipline can adequately capture the dynamics of the future labor market, and the authors therefore take an interdisciplinary approach, combining insights from different disciplines. This book will be a valuable resource for policymakers, students and researchers seeking to understand the driving forces behind the ever-changing labor market and the future of high-skilled work.

This book is definitive. Though assuming no knowledge of VBA or Visual Basic, it covers every aspect of Excel programming. The emphasis is always on solving problems that professionals will encounter in their daily work. Whether it is automatically displaying different views of data through pivot tables or accessing databases through ADO, the latest Microsoft database technology, it's all here. The final chapter provides a reference on Excel objects that is equally definitive. It is important to note that this book is not an advertising brochure for Excel. If there are problems with the Excel object library (and unfortunately there are many of them), they are explained. Whenever possible, Kofler explains a work-around. Still, this book gives the reader a comprehensive look at what you can do with Excel - and despite some problems, the range of possible applications is huge.

Wenn auch die ersten Anfange der analytischen Bearbeitung kleiner Substanz- mengen viel weiter zuriickliegen, so wird doch allgemein die Zeit der letzten Jahrhundertwende als der Beginn jener Forschungsrichtung angesehen, die heute als "Mikrochemie" bezeichnet wird. Die grundlegenden Arbeiten der beiden Pioniere auf diesem Gebiet, FRIEDRICH EMICH und FRITZ PREGL, liegen nun etwa ein halbes Jahrhundert zuriick. Die von ihnen geschaffenen Methoden erwiesen sich nicht nur als auBerordentlich brauchbar, sie verdrangten nicht nur in kurzer Zeit zahlreiche Makromethoden aus den modernen Laboratorien, sondern die genialen Gedankengange dieser beiden Schopfer der Mikrochemie waren gleichzeitig der AnstoB zum Beginn einer neuen Ara fruchtbarer Ent- wicklung fast aller Zweige der Chemie, da nunmehr Probleme der erfolgreichen Erforschung zuganglich wurden, deren Bearbeitung bis dahin aus experimentellen Griinden unmoglich war. Insbesondere fiir die analytische Chemie begann eine Zeit des Aufschwunges, die durch die Ausarbeitung immer neuer Verfahren zur Untersuchung kleinster Substanzmengen gekennzeichnet ist, deren mannigfaltige Vorteile gegeniiber der makrochemischen Arbeitsweise heute unbestritten sind. Es scheint daher berechtigt, das auf diesem Gebiet Geschaffene zu sichten und zusammenzufassen, urn damit aus der reichen Fiille der Literatur den Chemikern in Forschung und Technik eine Ubersicht zu bieten und die Auswahl der fur bestimmte Zwecke jeweils am besten geeigneten Methoden zu erleichtern. Zwar existieren neben dem grundlegenden Standardwerk PREGLS "Die quantita- tive organische Mikroanalyse" und EMICHS "LehrbucR der Mikrochemie" bereits zahlreiche ausgezeichnete Biicher, die auf einzelnen Teilgebieten der Mikrochemie vorziigliche Darstellungen des modernen Methodenschatzes bieten, aber bis jetzt liegt noch kein das Gesamtgebiet umfassendes Handbuch vor.

zu erreichen. Dieses Vorgehen ist vom arztlichen Standpunkt abzulehnen, denn jede Digitalis-Therapie ist ein biologisches Experiment. Das Individualisieren ist die groBe Kunst, die langsam erst mit zunehmender Erfahrung erlernt werden kann. Die sogenannte "Volldosis"-Behandlung hat in vielen Fallen schweren Schaden gestiftet und zum Auftreten lebensbedrohlicher Arrhythmien gefiihrt. DaB die extrasystolischen Arrhythmien, die wahrend der Digitalis-Therapie auftreten, nicht durch diese Droge allein entstehen, sondern daB noch "etwas Anderes" im Herzmuskel bestehen muB, um sie hervorzurufen, wurde in den friiheren Aufiagen dieses Buches immer betont. Die Erkenntnis, daB dieses "etwas" ein Mangel des Herzmuskels an Kalium ist unll daB - bei gesunder Niere - die orale Darreichung von Kaliumchlorid lebensgefahrliche Arrhythmien beseitigt, ist von groBer praktischer Bedeutung. Ahnlich gefahrlich ist die Empfehlung, die Quecksilberdiuretika taglich zu verabreichen, besonders bei Patienten, die eine salzarme Kost zu sich nehmen. Schwere Storungen des Mineralstoffwechsels sind dabei nicht selten. Hier haben wir unser konservatives Vorgehen, das sich auf die urspriinglichen Erfahrungen SaxIs an der ersten medizinischen Klinik in Wien griindet, beibehalten. Die GefaBchirurgie, die uns jetzt die operative Behandlung der Isthmusstenose und von Aneurysmen ermoglicht, fiihrt heute zur Heilung friiher hoffnungsloser Leiden. SchlieBlich verdient die Tatsache betont zu werden, daB infolge der Anwen- dung der modernen Behandlungsmethoden die Aortitis zu einer seltenen Krank- heit wird und auch die rheumatischen Klappenfehler seltener zu werden beginnen.
