Energy-Filtering Transmission Electron Microscopy (EFTEM) presents
a summary of the electron optics, the electron-specimen
interactions, and the operation and contrast modes of this new
field of analytical electron microscopy. The electron optics of
filter lenses and the progress in the correction of aberrations are
discussed in detail. An evaluation of our present knowledge of
plasmon losses and inner-shell ionisations is of increasing
interest for a quantitative application of EFTEM in materials and
life sciences. This can be realized not only by filtering the
elastically scattered electrons but mainly by imgaging and
analyzing with inelastically scattered electrons at different
energy losses up to 2000 eV. The strength of EFTEM is the
combination of the modes EELS, ESI, ESD and REM.
The Handbook of School Violence and School Safety: International
Research and Practice has become the premier resource for
educational and mental health professionals and policymakers
seeking to implement effective prevention and intervention programs
that reduce school violence and promote safe and effective schools.
It covers the full range of school violence and safety topics from
harassment and bullying to promoting safe, secure, and peaceful
schools. It also examines existing school safety programs and
includes the multi-disciplinary research and theories that guide
them. Examinations of current issues and projections of future
research and practice are embedded within each chapter. This volume
maps the boundaries of this rapidly growing and multidisciplinary
field of study. Key features include... Comprehensive Coverage -
The chapters are divided into three parts: Foundations; Assessment
and Measurement; Prevention and Intervention Programs. Together
they provide a comprehensive review of what is known about the
types, causes, and effects of school violence and the most
effective intervention programs that have been developed to prevent
violence and promote safe and thriving school climates.
Evidence-based Practice - Avoiding a one-size-fits-all approach to
prevention and intervention, the focus throughout is on the
application of evidence-based practice to address factors most
commonly associated with school violence and safety. Implications
for Practice - Each chapter bridges the research-to-practice gap,
with a section delineating implications for practice of the
foregoing research. Chapter Structure - To ensure continuity and
coherence across the book, each chapter begins with a brief
abstract and ends with a table showing the implications for
practice. International Focus - Acknowledging the fact that school
violence and safety is a global concern, this edition has increased
its focus on insights learned from cross-national research and
practice outside the USA. Expertise - The editors and authors are

the school violence field, their expertise includes their breadth
and depth of knowledge and experience, bridging research, policy,
and practice and representing a variety of international
organizations studying school violence around the world.
Throughout North America, non-native wild pigs have become an
ecologically and economically destructive invasive species. Though
they are regarded as a popular game species by some, provide
economic benefits to others, and are even engrained into societal
heritage in some areas, wild pigs are responsible for an
extraordinary amount of damage in both natural and anthropogenic
systems throughout North America. As the density and range of wild
pig habitat have substantially increased over the last several
decades, the magnitude and diversity of their negative impacts are
not yet fully realized or quantified. With various conflicts
continually emerging, wild pig management is difficult and
expensive to achieve. As a result, wild pigs represent one of the
greatest wildlife management challenges North America faces in the
21st century. Invasive Wild Pigs in North America: Ecology,
Impacts, and Management addresses all aspects of wild pig biology,
ecology, damage, and management in a single comprehensive volume.
It assimilates and organizes information on the most destructive
introduced vertebrate species in the United States, establishing a
foundation from which managers, researchers, policy makers, and
other stakeholders can build upon into the future. The book
provides comprehensive coverage of wild pig biology and ecology,
techniques for management and research, and regional chapters. It
is an asset to readers interested in wild pigs, the resources they
impact, and how to mitigate those impacts, and establishes a vision
of the future of wild pigs in North America. Features: Compiles
valuable knowledge for a broad audience including wild pig
managers, researchers, adversaries, and enthusiasts from across
North America Addresses taxonomy, morphology, genetics, physiology,
spatial ecology, population dynamics, diseases and parasites, and
the naturalized niche of wild pigs Includes chapters on damage to
resources, management, research methods, human dimensions and
education, and policy and legislation Contains full color images
and case studies of interesting and informative situations being
created by wild pigs throughout North America Includes a chapter on
wild pigs at the wildland-urban interface, a more recent and
especially challenging issue
This book throws new light on the issue of the dramatist's
religious orientation by dismissing sectarian and one-sided
theories, tackling the problem from the angle of the variegated
Elizabethan context recently uncovered by modern historians and
theatre scholars. It is argued that faith was a quest rather than a
quiet certainty for the playwright.

MASTERcrit was inaugurated in 2015 as a hybrid series of events
that encompassed lectures, critiques and a charrette. Modelled on
the traditional notion of a 'Master Class' the workshop enlisted
the best graduating students from the school as nominated by the
faculty to work in an intensive pedagogic setting with a
world-class practitioner. The so-called invited 'MASTERcritics'
were MOS in 2015, Andrew Zago in 2016, and Jurgen Mayer H. in 2017.
In all cases, these architects were tasked with presenting a
project brief to the team, which reflected a current pre-occupation
in their own discursive production. Students in turn were asked to
produce artefacts that manifested their responses. In addition to
documentation of the workshops and resultant work, the book
includes the briefs and transcripts of conversations.
Das Salutogenese-Prinzip umfasst "alles, was gesund erhalt." Die
Basis der Behandlung:
- Der Patient bestimmt selbst die ihm wichtigen
Behandlungsziele.
- Der Therapeut unterstutzt ihn professionell, um diese Ziele zu
erreichen.
Das Buch zeigt Ihnen am Therapiebeispiel bei Gehproblemen
konkret, wie Sie dieses neuartige Behandlungskonzept in der Praxis
umsetzen.
Die Pluspunkte:
- Erste Praxis-Anleitung fur die therapeutische Arbeit
- Anschaulich durch drei Patientengeschichten
- Ausfuhrlich mit Fotos dokumentiert
Nutzen auch Sie diese zukunftsweisende Therapie, um Ihren
Patienten einen langfristig stabilen Behandlungserfolg zu
sichern."
The great romance and fear of bloody revolution--strange blend
of idealism and terror--have been superseded by blind faith in the
bloodless expansion of human rights and global capitalism. Flying
in the face of history, violence is dismissed as rare, immoral, and
counterproductive. Arguing against this pervasive wishful thinking,
the distinguished historian Arno J. Mayer revisits the two most
tumultuous and influential revolutions of modern times: the French
Revolution of 1789 and the Russian Revolution of 1917.
Although these two upheavals arose in different environments,
they followed similar courses. The thought and language of
Enlightenment France were the glories of western civilization;
those of tsarist Russia's intelligentsia were on its margins. Both
revolutions began as revolts vowed to fight unreason, injustice,
and inequality; both swept away old regimes and defied established
religions in societies that were 85% peasant and illiterate; both
entailed the terrifying return of repressed vengeance. Contrary to
prevalent belief, Mayer argues, ideologies and personalities did
not control events. Rather, the tide of violence overwhelmed the
political actors who assumed power and were rudderless. Even the
best plans could not stem the chaos that at once benefited and
swallowed them. Mayer argues that we have ignored an essential part
of all revolutions: the resistances to revolution, both domestic
and foreign, which help fuel the spiral of terror.
In his sweeping yet close comparison of the world's two
transnational revolutions, Mayer follows their unfolding--from the
French Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Bolshevik
Declaration of the Rights of the Toiling and Exploited Masses; the
escalation of the initial violence into the reign of terror of
1793-95 and of 1918-21; the dismemberment of the hegemonic churches
and religion of both societies; the "externalization" of the terror
through the Napoleonic wars; and its "internalization" in Soviet
Russia in the form of Stalin's "Terror in One Country." Making
critical use of theory, old and new, Mayer breaks through
unexamined assumptions and prevailing debates about the attributes
of these particular revolutions to raise broader and more
disturbing questions about the nature of revolutionary violence
attending new foundations.
Die Bearbeitung eines hochwissenschaftlichen Stoffes in Frage und
Antwort bedarf wohl mehr wie jedes andere Buch einer Ein fiihrung
und Begriindung, da diese ungewohnliche Form geeignet ist, auf den
ersten Anschein hin unrichtige Vorstellungen und Urteile
hervorzurufen. Die Universitaten sind, entsprechend ihrer
Bestimmung als Pflanzstatten und Hort der Wissenschaften, auf das
glanzendste ausgestattet; der junge Student der Medizin findet im
reichsten MaBe aIle Hilfsmittel vor, ihn in seine
Berufswissenschaften ein zufiihren und darin auszubilden; jede
Erleichterung, die ihn in kiirzester Zeit zu einem erschOpfenden
Verstandnis fiihren soIl, steht zurVerfugung, vielseitige
Moglichkeit, sich praktisch zu betatigen, ist dem Strebsamen
geboten. Aber trotz alIer Behelfe kann der Unterricht nicht die
Aufgabe allein IOsen, den Wissenschaftler zur Ausubung seines
Berufes vollstandig heranzubilden, ein groBer Teil dieser Arbeit,
ja sogar der groBere, namlich die Verankerung des theoretischen
Wissens als unvergangliches geistiges Eigentum, ver bleibt dem
FleiB, der Intelligenz und der Willensenergie des einzelnen
vorbehalten. Und da ist es ganz merkwiirdig, daB hier im Gegen satz
zu der sonstigen sorgfaltigen Leitung des Studenten so jeglicher
Hinweis fehlt, wie er am besten und raschesten jene unbedingt not
wendige Summe von positivem Wissen sich aneignet, die ihn erst
befahigt, dem Unterricht in voller Zeitausnutzung zu folgen."

Details the safety, mental health, and wellness issues in schools
today and focuses on the interactions and collaborations needed
among students, teachers, families, community members, and other
professionals to foster the safety, learning, and well-being of all
students. Safe schools and student well-being take a "village" of
adults and students with varied interests, perspectives, and
abilities collaborating to create caring, supportive, and
academically productive schools. Schools are unofficial mental
health care providers for children and youth who are placed at risk
by social and economic circumstances and whose un- and under
addressed needs can compromise teaching and learning. This handbook
provides up-to-date information on how to promote safety, wellness,
and mental health in a manner that can help draw the needed
"village" together. It aligns research and practice to support
effective collaboration-it provides information and tools for
educators, administrators, policy makers, mental health and
community organizations, families, parents, and students to join
forces to promote and support school safety, student well-being,
and student mental health. Chapters address school context, the
dynamic nature of school communities and child development, and the
importance of diversity and equity. Chapters provide in-depth
understanding of why and how to improve safety, well-being, and
mental health in a culturally responsive manner. They provide
strategies and tools for planning, monitoring, and implementing
change, methods for collaborating, and policy and practice
guidance. They provide examples of successful and promising
cross-system and cross-stakeholder collaborations. This handbook
will interest students, scholars, faculty, and researchers in
education, counseling, and psychology; administrators in human
services and youth development; policy makers; and student, family,
and community representatives. Brings together cross-disciplinary
and cross-stakeholder teams from education, counseling, psychology,
human services, juvenile justice, law, and other fields Focuses on
promotion, prevention, early and intensive intervention, and
treatment for safety and wellness in schools Highlights
collaborative, culturally competent approaches to family and youth
engagement Provides strategies for threat assessment and crisis
management
