Worldwide, mental health problems are set to become the second greatest threat to health by the end of the next decade. The European Union has identified mental health problems as a growing concern, although there is great variation within EU countries with respect to patient numbers and the range of facilities available to them. Historically, EU mental healthcare services have been analysed using measurable aspects of care provisions such as throughput, costs and outcome measures. Little is known of the experiences, perceptions, beliefs and values of those accessing and providing services. This enlightening new book adopts a very different approach. With a particular focus on nursing, it examines and critiques the state of specialist mental health services in nine EU countries - Czech Republic, Finland, Ireland, Greece, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Germany, United Kingdom and Portugal. Each chapter focuses on a single country and ascertains existing services, their development, the treatments and care provided, factors preventing better service delivery, and suggestions for improvement. A rich pattern of differences emerge and comparisons can then be drawn. It also explores the emergence of an EU mental health identity in regards to selection of mental health personnel, their training and education, and the range of services they provide. Healthcare professionals and students with a particular interest in mental health issues (especially those with an interest in international approaches) will welcome the fresh analysis. It provides vital new information for European policy makers and shapers, voluntary sector personnel, and service users and the organisations representing them.

French-born Jean Prouve (1901-1984) was the 20th century's leading construction designer, a self-declared constructeur and member of the jury who oversaw the design of the Centre Pompidou in Paris. As a designer, he captured the midcentury spirit of innovation, expansion, and growth, developing techniques that united simple, striking aesthetics with practical, cost-effective materials and assembly. From vast, temporary exhibition marquees to handheld letter openers, modular building systems to interior lighting, Prouve's designs efficiently fitted their function with minimal fuss and understated elegance. Feted by designers, architects, and engineers the world over, Prouve has left a rich and inspirational legacy, which resonates perfectly with the approach of this compact volume, neatly summarizing his life and works. About the series Born back in 1985, the Basic Art Series has evolved into the best-selling art book collection ever published. Each book in TASCHEN's Basic Architecture series features: an introduction to the life and work of the architect the major works in chronological order information about the clients, architectural preconditions as well as construction problems and resolutions a list of all the selected works and a map indicating the locations of the best and most famous buildings approximately 120 illustrations (photographs, sketches, drafts, and plans)

Seminar paper from the year 2010 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: Sehr gut, The University of Surrey (School of Management), language: English, abstract: As many other industries the car manufacturing industry has been hardly hit in the most countries by the international financial crisis and subsequent economic slowdown. Several reasons of the credit crunch have also been the trigger for turbulences in the car industry, especially in Europe and the United States of America. Years of cheap and extensive opportunities to finance new cars (low interest rates and negligent credit approvals) have decoupled the economic growth from the car sales and have lead to extensive excess in demand. Based on major theories in strategic management (e.g. Porter's five forces), this works examines the reasons for car manufactures problems during the crisis, strategic implications and measures to enable a future growth story.

With the many medical options available for ourselves and loved ones, how do we make informed decisions which draw upon our Catholic tradition and so respect our human dignity and the dignity of others?

Master's Thesis from the year 2011 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: Sehr gut, The University of Surrey (School of Management), course: Business Administration, language: English, abstract: Today, the service sector contributes to a major part of the GDP of the most developed countries, while the share of services of the total export of these countries is comparable low. This constitutes certain challenges for the internationalisation of services. With regard to the use of "country-of-origin effects" (COO), the special service characteristics create challenges for service companies, e.g. by the inseparability of service provision and consumption. When decisions on the market entry options are made and local staff is favoured to expatriate staff, incongruence in the COO facets occurs which is difficult to hide. Based on the research on products, this might reduce COO's positive effects on service consumers' quality expectations (ESQ). In this context, the question arises whether information on training in the company's home country (CTI) can reduce the aforementioned negative effect. In order to examine the existence of these relationships, an online provided self-administered experiment was created. Using a non-probability sample of 100 Germans, respondents were asked to rate two different service examples with regard to the ESQ. In each example, the country of the person providing the service (CPI) was manipulated to be congruent as well as incongruent to the company's origin. In addition, the CTI was added to incongruent service examples.

Facharbeit (Schule) aus dem Jahr 2012 im Fachbereich Deutsch - Literatur, Werke, einseitig bedruckt, Note: 2], - (Berufsbildene Schulen 1 Celle), Sprache: Deutsch, Anmerkungen: Bei richtiger Angabe des Quellenverzeichnises, ware die Arbeit eine eins., Abstract: Der Grundgedanke des Realismus ist die Reflektion der Wirklichkeit durch Kunst und Literatur. Das heisst, der Realismus gibt die Welt nicht nach einem Idealbild wieder, sondern wie sie tatsachlich ist. Der Realismus lasst sich in, Poetischen Realismus" und, Burgerlichen Realismus" aufteilen. Poetischer Realismus bedeutet Konflikte in der Wirklichkeit lyrisch zu entscharfen. Bei dem burgerlichen Realismus wird haufig der Konflikt des Individuums mit der Gesellschaft thematisiert. Dies soll keine Kritik an der Gesellschaft bzw. am Milieu sein, sondern eine Asthetisierung und damit eine Verklarung. Es ist die Abgrenzung von der Idealistischen Epoche (insbesondere von der Romantik). Wahrend der ersten Halfte des 19. Jahrhunderts war die Literatur vom Vormarz gepragt und dem damit verbunden politisch-historischen Massstab. Die folgenden Erscheinungen wurden unter dem Blickwinkel ihres Zusteuerns auf die Marzrevolution im Jahre 1848 gesehen. 1850 folgte das, Junge Deutschland," welches sich aus Gruppierungen von Autoren im poetischen und burgerlichen Realismus zusammensetzte. ..
