This book offers an introduction to the theological and historical aspects of the papacy, an office and institution that is unique in this world. Throughout its history up to our present time, the Petrine ministry is both fascinating and challenging to people, both inside and outside the Catholic Church. Gerhard Cardinal Muller speaks from a particular and personal viewpoint, including his experience of working closely with the pope every day as Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. He addresses, in particular, those dimensions of the papal office which are crucial for understanding more deeply the pope as a visible principle of the church's unity. 500 years after the Protestant reformation, The Pope offers insights into the ecumenical controversies about the papacy throughout the centuries, in their historical context. The book also exposes prejudices and cliches, and points to the authentic foundation of the Petrine ministry.

In today's competitive environment, manufacturing and service companies are intensifying their customization processes. Customization means companies must meet the challenge of providing individualized products and services, without introducing high costs. Therefore, companies must address both customization and cost factors to gain a competitive advantage. While product customization is the manufacturing of products according to individual customer needs, it does not involve any focus on the cost perspective. Information and Management Systems for Product Customization will concentrate on both product customization and costs' efficiency, which is termed as mass customization. Moreover, mass customization with its multi-dimensions is the new business paradigm challenging today's manufacturing companies.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 38th Conference on Current Trends in Theory and Practice of Computer Science, SOFSEM 2012, held in Spindleruv Mlyn, Czech Republic, in January 2012. The 43 revised papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 121 submissions. The book also contains 11 invited talks, 10 of which are in full-paper length. The contributions are organized in topical sections named: foundations of computer science; software and Web engineering; cryptography, security, and verification; and artificial intelligence.

Mass Customization: Challenges and Solutions defines the parameters of the emerging business strategy, mass customization. The book will cover the main categories of the area with a systematic examination of the following themes: manufacturing systems and mass customization, supply chain management and mass customization, and information systems and mass customization.

In addition to being tightly organized by themes and a carefully selected group of contributors, the Editors will write introductory material to the sections along with introductory and concluding chapters. The result is a book that provides the field with the conceptual framework of mass customization, its tools, its solutions, and real-world examples of successful implementations of the business strategy. An important book for academics working in production operations, production manufacturing, industrial engineering, logistics, supply chain management, and industry practitioners.

The 8 revised full technical papers presented together with 12 technical communications, and 16 extended abstracts were carefully reviewed and selected from 44 submissions. The conference provides the opportunity to present a wider range of results and ideas that are of interest to the KI audience, including reports about recent own publications, position papers, and previews of ongoing work.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 17th European Conference on Logics in Artificial Intelligence, JELIA 2021, held as a virtual event, in May 2021. The 27 full papers and 3 short papers included in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 68 submissions. The accepted papers span a number of areas within Logics in AI, including: argumentation; belief revision; reasoning about actions, causality, and change; constraint satisfaction; description logics and ontological reasoning; non-classical logics; and logic programming (answer set programming).

In der obstbaulichen Forschung standen wahrend vergangener Jahrzehnte technolo- gische und okonomische Arbeiten deutlich im Vordergrund. Es war notwendig, die Mechanisierung von Pflege und Ernte voranzutreiben, um ein V'bermaB an Handarbeit durch Maschinenarbeit zu ersetzen. Eine dem modernen Anbau entsprechende Lager- wirtschaft muBte vollig neu entwickelt werden. Aufgabe der physiologischen Forschung ist es schon heute, die Praxis in die Lage zu versetzen, iiber die optimale Gestaltung aller PflegemaBnahmen hochste Ertrage abzusichern, ohne die Baume dabei so zu belasten, daB das Ertragspotential iiberzogen wird und es dadurch zum Ertragswechsel kommt. Dariiber hinaus sind von den Ziich- tern mit Unterstiitzung der Physiologen neue Sorten mit hOherem Ertragspotential und groBerer Ertragssicherheit zu schaffen. Um diese Ziele zu erreichen, bedarf es mehr denn je eines umfassenden Wissens um die Vorgange der Pflanzenentwicklung und Ertragsbildung. 1m praktischen Anbau miissen durch geeignete MaBnahmen der Bodenpflege, der Diingung, der Zusatzbe- wasserung und durch den Einsatz von Wachstumsregulatoren Voraussetzungen flir hohe, stabile Ertrage und damit im Zusammenhang flir die zuverlassig ablaufende Bliitenbildung fUr die Ernte des nachsten Jahres geschaffen werden. Notwendige MaBnahmen lassen sich umso zielstrebiger durchflihren, je gefestigter das Wissen und dessen Nutzung bei der Planung des Komplexes der PflegemaBnahmen ist. Die allgemeinen Lehrbiicher flir den Obstbau beinhalten vorwiegend technologische MaBnahmen und Fragen der Standort- und Sortenwahl. ZUl' Physiologie der Ertrags- bildung konnen sie nur wenig aussagen, weil das den Rahmen produktionsbezogener Darstellungen sprengen wiirde. Unser Buch solI daher vorhandene Obstbaubiichel' keinesfalls ersetzen, dafUr aber umso mehr erganzen.

Die Stimme ist eines der personlichsten Ausdrucksmittel des Menschen. Wie sie funktioniert, wird in diesem Buch allgemeinverstandlich erklart.
- Wie wirken Atmung, Kehlkopf, Mundraum und Gehirn zusammen, damit Sprache und Gesang entstehen?
- Wie entwickelt sich die Stimme im Laufe des Lebens?
- Wie unterscheiden sich Sprechen und Singen, menschliche und tierische Stimmen, und wie funktionieren Besonderheiten wie Flustern, Jodeln oder Bauchreden?
- Hat man eine schone Stimme von Natur aus, oder ist sie eher das Ergebnis von Gesangs- oder Sprechausbildung?
- Welche Ursachen hat die Heiserkeit, welche Stimmerkrankungen gibt es, und was kann man gegen sie tun?"
