The Phenomenon of Religion - Pagan and Biblical Religion (Paperback, New): Manfred H. Vogel The Phenomenon of Religion - Pagan and Biblical Religion (Paperback, New)
Manfred H. Vogel
R1,035 Discovery Miles 10 350 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

The Phenomenon of Religion proposes a new way of seeing the bifurcation (a division into two parts or branches) within the religious phenomenon of pagan and biblical religions. In contrast to seeing the bifurcation as monotheism and polytheism, Dr. Manfred Vogel argues for viewing the separation in terms of the "Buberian bifurcation" that divides the It-dimension and the Thou-dimension. The "It-dimension meaning: entities constituting themselves in terms of physical nature, i.e. entities that ultimately ground themselves in a dimension-of-power exemplified by many of their characterizations. The "Thou-dimension" meaning: entities constituting themselves in terms of personhood, i.e. to entities that ultimately ground themselves in the dimension of consciousness. On the basis of a fundamental division in religions, this work presents the case that in contrast to pagan religion, which grounds itself exclusively within the dimension of power, biblical religion grounds itself within the dimension of consciousness-instead of having a God as a power, it gives us God as a person. This revolutionary innovation raises some serious difficulties by biblical religion retaining its hold within the dimension of power. The book proceeds to analyze in detail this problematic innovation and indeed to show that the various expressions constituting biblical religion-Halachic Judaism, Christianity, and Islam-distinguish themselves from each other by varying degrees by which they divide their grounding between power and consciousness. Dr. Vogel's conclusion on the phenomenon of religion concerns secular modernity and its influence over the history and future of religion, particularly Halachic Judaism's emancipation under the "enlightenment" of modernity.

Who Knew? - Inside the Complexity of American Health Care (Hardcover): Lynn H. Vogel Who Knew? - Inside the Complexity of American Health Care (Hardcover)
Lynn H. Vogel
R886 Discovery Miles 8 860 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Despite all the writing and the research, America's health care industry continues to fail at providing health care that is accessible and affordable, with measurable quality. The fundamental reason we have failed is that health care is not only a complex business, but the most complex in our economy. Other industries are disrupted, some readily adapt to new markets; some leverage information technology and innovative and cost-saving ways. But to date, health care has resisted. The customary approaches tried in other industries seem not to apply to health care. Why? Why is the health care industry so politically divisive? Why is the quality of health care services so difficult to measure? Why do patients often fail to understand their own health care? Why are security and privacy such unique challenges in health care? Why is the payment process for health care services so complicated and challenging? This book seeks to answer these questions. This book written by a well know industry 'insider' with 35+ years working at senior levels in hospital operations and information technology, discusses nine major factors that in combination contribute to health care's complexity. The author concludes that until we understand why health is so complex, we will continue to see books complaining about the poor state of health care in the U.S., and proposals for change that are generally unsuccessful, and innovative technology products that fail to deliver expected results.

Es werden immer Grenzfalle auftreten, die sich nur schwer oder gar nicht einer der beiden Gruppen eindeutig zuordnen lassen. Mancher dieser Grenzfalle gehort in den Bereich des Commensalismus ("Mitessen am gleichen Tisch") und Mutualismus ("gegenseitige" Hille, auf die die Partner nicht angewiesen sind); hierher gehoren viele aus der Zoologie her wohlbekannte Beispiele, die friiher vielfach irrtiimlich als Symbiosen gekennzeichnet wurden, wie das Zusammenleben der Seeanemone mit dem Einsiedlerkrebs u. a. Wenn auch beide eng zusammenleben, so sind sie doch nicht aufeinander angewiesen, sondern konnen auch fiir sich aHein existieren. Als Commensalen sind sicher manche Bakterien und manche Protozoen im Darm des Menschen anzusehen, so z. B. die DarmflageHaten des Dickdarms. Saprophyten leben dagegen in toten organischen Zerfalls. produkten, die u. a. auch im Darm vorkommen; sie konnen aber - im Gegensatz z. B. zu Darmflagellaten - ebenso im Freien existieren. CAMERON (1956) steht auf dem Standpunkt, daB bei dem gegenwartigen Stand unserer Kenntnisse eine wissenschaftliche Definition des Begriffes "Parasitismus" nicht moglich sei, und stellt einfach fest: "Ein Parasit ist ein Organismus, der einen Wirt hat" ("A parasit is an organism which has a host"). Dabei liegt auch das Bestreben zugrunde, von jeglichem anthropozentrischen oder okonomischen Gesichtspunkt abzusehen und das biologische Phanomen des Zusammenlebens zweier artverschiedener Organismen an sich zu betrachten. Aber dieses durchaus verstandliche Bemiihen iibersieht dabei die Tatsache, daB die Wirkung eines Mikroorganismus, der auf oder in einem Wirt lebt, fiir den Partner recht ver. schieden sein kann (vgl. unten, S.9, 17 und 41ff.)."

Man erziihlt von Enrico Fermi, er habe nie eine wissenschaftliche Veroffentli- chung gelesen. Er las nur die ersten Zeilen, die aussagen sollten, was der Autor vorhatte. Sagten Sie das nicht, warf er die Arbeit gleich weg. Sagten sie es, legte er sie etwas sanfter beiseite, nahm einen Zettel und rechnete alles selbst aus. Manchmal bekam er weniger heraus als der Autor, manchmal aber auch mehr. Diese Arbeitsweise birgt fiir uns Nicht-Fermis gewisse Gefahren, ist aber zweifellos besser als ihr weit verbreitetes Gegenteil, fUr das gilt: "Was man sich eine Woche vor dem Examen eingepaukt hat, vergiBt man in der Woche danach wieder". Man braucht nicht Lempsychologie zu studieren, urn zu wissen, daB produktives Lemen nicht nur viel fruchtbarer, sondem vor allem taus end- mal interessanter ist als rezeptives. Freilich muB das Problem selbst interessant sein, wenn man energisch genug anbeiBen solI. Ich habe versucht, solche Probleme zusammenzustellen. Natiirlich gibt es fast so viele verschiedene Meinungen dariiber, was interessant ist, wie es Menschen gibt, und ebenso dariiber, ob etwas leicht oder schwer oder wenig- stens klar formuliert ist. Ich habe schon viele Schatzsuchen organisiert, bei denen ich mich fast schiimte und dachte, bei so glasklaren Hinweisen miiBten doch die Leute nach einer Minute direkt zum Versteck hinspazieren - und abends urn zehn hatten sie den Schatz immer noch nicht. Ganz entsprechend war es iibrigens auch, wenn ich mitsuchen muBte, was ein anderer "ganz leicht" versteckt hatte.

Seit vielen Jahren besteht sowohl in der wissenschaftlichen als auch in praktischen Diskussion Uneinigkeit hinsichtlich der berlegenheit eines passiven bzw. aktiven Portfoliomanagements. Im Rahmen dieser Diskussion st tzen sich die Anh nger des passiven Portfoliomanagements auf die allgemein akzeptierten Erkenntnisse des Capital Asset Pricing Models. Nach diesem Paradigma wird eine positive Rendite lediglich f r den vom Anleger bernommenen und vom Markt verg teten Anteil am systematischen Marktrisiko gezahlt. Folglich besteht das Ziel dieses Ansatzes darin, durch eine m glichst breite Diversifikation an der Marktrendite zu partizipieren, wobei die Umsetzung dieses Ansatzes meist ber die Anlage in einen In-dexfonds erfolgt. Der Vorteil des passiven Portfoliomanagementansatzes f r den Anleger besteht darin, dass sich eine solche sog. Beta-Performance zu u erst geringen Kosten realisieren l sst, wobei eine Outperformance nicht angestrebt wird. Die Anh nger des aktiven Portfoliomanagements glauben hingegen, dass es durch das Timing des Gesamtmarktes und/oder die Selektion von Einzelaktien seitens eines erfahrenen Portfoliomanagers durchweg m glich ist, eine um das systematische Marktrisiko adjustierte Mehrrendite zu erwirtschaften. Eine solche sog. Alpha-Performance ist jedoch wesentlich schwieriger zu erzielen und meist mit deutlich h heren Kosten verbunden. In dieser Studie sollen Konzepte er rtert werden, wie ein Anleger eine Alpha-Performance auch ber Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs), welche eine besonders effiziente Kategorie von passiven Indexfonds darstellen, erzielen kann. Hierzu werden zu Beginn der Studie die Merkmale von ETFs erl utert. Im daran anschlie enden Kapitel werden die theoretischen Grundlagen einer Outperformance mittels ETFs diskutiert. Hierzu wird zuerst auf die klassische Einteilung zwischen dem aktiven sowie passiven Portfoliomanagementansatz eingegangen. Ferner wird gezeigt, dass das systematische Marktrisiko nicht das einzige systematische R
