Praxisorientiert werden Möglichkeiten und Grenzen der Digitalisierung im Allgemeinen und der künstlichen Intelligenz im Speziellen aufgezeigt. Wege zur Generierung und Sicherung von Wettbewerbsvorteilen werden dargestellt. Die Thematik wird aus der Perspektive des Unternehmens, der Funktion des Controllings und der persönlichen Position im Controlling beleuchtet. Dabei wird vielmehr das Ziel verfolgt den Leser bei der konkreten Umsetzung zu begleiten als eine einheitliche Anleitung zu präsentieren.

Im Mittelpunkt dieses Buches stehen, anders als bei vielen Standardwerken zur Compliance, nicht die Ziele, sondern die Mittel, die eine wirkungsvolle Compliance ermöglichen. Aus der Innensicht des Compliance Officer werden alltägliche Probleme thematisiert und anhand konkreter, praxiserprobter Maßnahmen gelöst. Ausgehend vom Spannungsfeld zwischen Gewinnerzielung und Compliance werden darüber hinaus ethische Grundsätze sowie das Auftreten der Compliance, ihr Umgang mit Ansprechpartnern und ihr Vorgehen bei Verstößen diskutiert. Psychologisch sowie soziologisch begründete Erkenntnisse erweitern hier die Perspektive, rücken den Menschen ins Zentrum und bieten neue Ansatzpunkte für die Gestaltung einer erfolgreichen Compliance.

Dieses Buch beleuchtet das Motiv der Voellerei in der englischen Literatur der Fruhen Neuzeit. Der Autor untersucht, wie die klassische Todsunde zur Beschreibung des Eigenen und Fremden genutzt wird, um durch Selbstuberhoehung und Fremdabwertung die nationale Identitat zu starken. Sein Analysemodell vereint Erkenntnisse aus der Systemtheorie mit zentralen Befunden der Nationenforschung. Dadurch kann er die Komplexitat der englischen Gesellschaft abbilden und verschiedene Arten von Identitat und Alteritat herausarbeiten. Das Buch wirft einen detaillierten Blick auf Eliten, soziale Restriktionen, den Kampf gegen das Fremde und das Erwachen einer jungen Nation.

How well do we really know ancient Egypt? The world of the Egyptians seems strangely familiar to us: exhibitions of ancient art and archaeological discoveries in the desert sands continue to generate interest and amazement, while Egyptian motifs appear in architecture, literature, artworks, advertising, and film. Yet, so much of what we take for granted is based on wildly inaccurate information that has been spreading since the days of classical antiquity and the Renaissance. It is only in the past two hundred years that we have been able to read for ourselves the writings of the ancient Egyptians—so it is hardly surprising that the myths that had been built up in the preceding two thousand years prove so difficult to dispel. In this book, the internationally acclaimed Egyptologist Thomas Schneider asks, "What are the 101 most important questions about ancient Egypt?" The questions he has chosen—and the answers he provides—challenge almost everything we thought we knew about the ancient civilization in the Nile valley. They range from the surprising ("Why did upper-class Egyptians never wear a beard?") to the profound ("Was ancient Egypt a culture of death?") and the provocative ("What do we not know about ancient Egypt?"). Schneider's answers will surprise, inspire, and challenge a wide range of readers. Ancient Egypt in 101 Questions and Answers provides a completely fresh way of looking at all aspects of ancient Egypt—from history, art, and everyday life to religion and ancient attitudes to death and the afterlife.

How well do we really know ancient Egypt? The world of the Egyptians seems so familiar to us: exhibitions of ancient art and archaeological discoveries in the desert sands continue to generate interest and amazement, while Egyptian motifs appear in architecture, in literature, in art works, in advertising, and in films. And yet, this modern reception can sometimes preserve the myths and inaccuracies about ancient Egypt that derive from classical antiquity and the Renaissance. It is only in the last 200 years that we have been able to read for ourselves ancient Egyptian texts and to reveal the true nature of its civilization through excavation. This modern discovery of ancient Egypt is now astonishing us with a culture of incomparable richness and remarkable diversity. This is what the internationally acclaimed Egyptologist Thomas Schneider here attempts to do: he asks "What are the 101 single most important questions about ancient Egypt?" The questions he has chosen-and the answers he provides-challenge almost everything we thought we knew about the ancient civilization in the Nile valley. They range from the surprising ("Why did elite Egyptians not wear beards?") to the profound ("Was ancient Egypt a culture of death?" ) and the provocative ("What do we still not know about ancient Egypt?") but all the answers will surprise, inspire, and challenge a wide range of readers. In the process, they provide a completely fresh way of looking at all aspects of ancient Egypt-from history, art, and everyday life to religion and ancient attitudes to death and the afterlife.

In A Physician's Apology, Dr. Tom Schneider exposes medical myths and urges readers to take responsibility for their own health, all while unveiling this truth: there are practical and proven steps that can be taken toward living a healthier, longer, and, yes...happier life. No stranger to personal health issues himself, Dr. Tom has devoted decades of exhaustive exploration and research into what really works-and what does not-when it comes to healing, rejuvenating, and regenerating mind and body. From his unique vantage point as patient, doctor, and tireless researcher, he simplifies the science behind health and wellness with great humor and unsurpassed expertise, and he has more than a few apologies to make on behalf of the medical establishment.

Secure two-party computation, called secure function evaluation (SFE), enables two mutually mistrusting parties, the client and server, to evaluate an arbitrary function on their respective private inputs while revealing nothing but the result. Originally the technique was considered to be too inefficient for practical privacy-preserving applications, but in recent years rapid speed-up in computers and communication networks, algorithmic improvements, automatic generation, and optimizations have enabled their application in many scenarios. The author offers an extensive overview of the most practical and efficient modern techniques used in the design and implementation of secure computation and related protocols. After an introduction that sets secure computation in its larger context of other privacy-enhancing technologies such as secure channels and trusted computing, he covers the basics of practically efficient secure function evaluation, circuit optimizations and constructions, hardware-assisted garbled circuit protocols, and the modular design of efficient SFE protocols. The goal of the author's research is to use algorithm engineering methods to engineer efficient secure protocols, both as a generic tool and for solving practical applications, and he achieves an excellent balance between the theory and applicability. The book is essential for researchers, students and practitioners in the area of applied cryptography and information security who aim to construct practical cryptographic protocols for privacy-preserving real-world applications.

Broader bandwidths, denser channel spacing, and higher signal intensities all makes nonlinear effects more critical to the performance of telecommunications systems. This comprehensive and didactic overview explores the nonlinear effects from a physical point of view and discusses the implications for signal capacity. Enriched with practical considerations and experimental results, the book offers special chapters dealing with applications of nonlinear effects for signal processing, ultrafast-optical switching, wavelength conversion, nonlinear amplification, and optical phase-conjugation. The author Thomas Schneider of Deutsche Telekom demonstrates how innovative thinking can actually exploit nonlinear effects to enhance bandwidth and overcome previous limitations. Equipped with chapter-end summaries and problems, this valuable reference can also serve as a graduate-level textbook.
