The Democratic Arts of Mourning reflects on the variety of ways in
which mourning affects political and social life. In recent
decades, political theorists have increasingly examined and
explored the themes of loss, grief, and mourning. With an
introduction that contextualizes the turn to mourning in previous
scholarship on the politics of tragedy, this book includes twelve
chapters that clarify the intertwinement between politics and
mourning. The chapters are organized into five thematic sections
that each shed light on how democratic societies relate to loss,
grief, suffering, and death. Collectively, the chapters explore the
concept of mourning and its relationship to civic rituals,
memorials, taboos, social movements, and popular music. Chapters
examine how social groups defend their members against experiences
of grief or mourning, or how poetic expressions—such as ancient
Greek tragedy—can address the catastrophes of human life. Other
chapters explore the politics of symbols and bodies, and how they
can become fraught objects that stand in for a society’s
undigested—unmourned—losses and absences. The book concludes
with an interview with Bonnie Honig, whose own work on mourning has
been deeply influential in contemporary political theory.

This volume presents the revised papers of the 14th International
Conference in Monte Carlo and Quasi-Monte Carlo Methods in
Scientific Computing, MCQMC 2020, which took place online during
August 10-14, 2020. This book is an excellent reference
resource for theoreticians and practitioners interested in solving
high-dimensional computational problems, arising, in particular, in
statistics, machine learning, finance, and computer graphics,
offering information on the latest developments in Monte Carlo and
quasi-Monte Carlo methods and their randomized versions.
This book presents the refereed proceedings of the Seventh
International Conference on Monte Carlo and Quasi-Monte Carlo
Methods in Scientific Computing, held in Ulm, Germany, in August
2006. The proceedings include carefully selected papers on many
aspects of Monte Carlo and quasi-Monte Carlo methods and their
applications. They also provide information on current research in
these very active areas.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Second
IEEE International Workshop on Self-Managed Networks, Systems, and
Services, SelfMan 2006, held in Dublin, Ireland in June 2006. The
12 revised full papers presented together with 3 work-in-progress
papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 51 submissions.
The papers are organized in topical sections on middleware and
infrastructure for self-management, peer-to-peer and overlay
networks, self-adaptation, self-managed mobile systems, and
networking.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 14th
IFIP/IEEE International Workshop on Distributed Systems: Operations
and Management, DSOM 2003, held in Heidelberg, Germany in October
2002.
The 20 revised full papers and 6 revised short papers presented
together with a keynote paper were carefully reviewed and selected
from a total of 105 submissions. The papers are organized in
topical sections on self-configuration, peer-to-peer management,
self-optimization and performance management, utility management,
self-protection and access control, manageability and
instrumentation, and context-awareness.
Das modulare Umweltmanagement (MUM) ist vor allem fur die
mittelstandische Industrie ein ideales Verfahren zum sukzessiven
Aufbau eines betrieblichen Umweltmanagements. In seiner
zukunftsweisenden Perspektive kann es stufenweise und uberschaubar
in ein Umwelt-Audit munden. Das stufenweise Vorgehen ermoglicht
dabei eine Adaption an die jeweiligen Gegebenheiten eines Betriebes
und erlaubt zudem durch fortwahrende Ruckubertragung und Kontrolle
der Ergebnisse eine standige Optimierung des Gesamtprozesses.

Diplomarbeit aus dem Jahr 2002 im Fachbereich BWL - Sonstiges,
Note: 2,0, Hochschule Mittweida (FH) (Wirtschaftswissenschaften),
Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Inhaltsangabe: Problemstellung: Die
offentliche Verwaltung, gepragt von ihrer klassischen
Hoheitsverwaltung und ihrem Hierarchie- und Burokratismusideal,
gerat zunehmend in den Mittelpunkt offentlicher Kritik. Bemangelt
werden vor allem die althergebrachten burokratischen
Steuerungssysteme, die, im Strudel gesellschaftlicher, politischer
und wirtschaftlicher Dynamik, nicht mehr den neu an sie gestellten
Anforderungen entsprechen. Strukturanderungen in der Gesellschaft,
ein geringes Wirtschaftswachstum, anhaltend hohe Arbeitslosigkeit,
steigende Kosten der Sozialhilfe und zusatzliche Kosten durch die
Deutsche Einheit fuhren zu Haushaltsdefiziten, die eine
Modernisierung dieser veralteten Organisationsstrukturen
unerlasslich machen. Die Erhohung von Steuern, zusatzliche
Kreditaufnahmen, Einsparungen bei Personal- und Sachausgaben sind
angesichts der neuartigen und komplexen Probleme, wie sie die
Dynamisierung mit sich bringt, keine angemessenen Massnahmen, um
die Haushaltskrise zu uberwinden. Nur eine grundlegende
Systemveranderung und die Einfuhrung betriebswirtschaftlicher
Steuerungsinstrumente kann die in akute Finanznot geratenen Lander
und Gemeinden aus ihrem Dilemma befreien. Das Bewusstsein fur
entsprechende Reformen wachst in der offentlichen Verwaltung jedoch
nur langsam. Vor dem Hintergrund immer weiter zunehmender
Internationalisierung und Globalisierung muss die Organisation und
Steuerung der Verwaltung dringend umstrukturiert werden. Dies liegt
nicht zuletzt in der Tatsache begrundet, dass im weiten Wettbewerb
um Wachstum und Beschaftigung eine effiziente offentliche
Verwaltung fur viele Unternehmen als ein wichtiger Standortfaktor
gilt. Im internationalen Vergleich ist der in Deutschland
stattfindende Reformprozess noch im Anfang begriffen. In den
fuhrenden Industrienationen der Welt sind Reformproje
