This title was first published in 2003. The Baltic Sea region offers exceptionally rich material for the discussion of civil society. This is because it has witnessed the erosion of communist regimes, the crisis of the welfare state, the increasing importance of new social movements and the shift from a centralist paradigm to one oriented towards networks. This engaging book focuses on the phenomena and prospects for civil society in north-eastern Europe which have had a major impact on political and scholarly debates since 1989. Nineteen experts from the region provide a comprehensive and comparative account of the history, the present state and the perspectives of civil society in the Baltic Sea area. The reader will learn that civil society should not only be seen in opposition to the state and that it has a major impact on current developments of European integration.
Despite intense research on decision-making in action, we still know little about when decision-makers rely on deliberate vs. intuitive decision-making in decision situations under complexity and uncertainty. Building on default-interventionist dual-processing theory, this book studies decision-making modes (deliberate vs. intuitive) in complex task environments contingent on perceived complexity, experience, and decision style preference. We find that relatively inexperienced decision-makers respond to increases in subjective complexity with an increase in deliberation and tend to follow their decision style preference. Experienced decision-makers are less guided by their decision preference and respond to increases in subjective complexity only minimally. This book contributes to a developing stream of research linking decision-making with intra-personal and environmental properties and fosters our understanding of the conditions under which decision-makers rely on intuitive vs. deliberate decision modes. In doing so, we go one step further towards a comprehensive theory of decision-making in action.

Nonlinear Problems in Random Theory is a book written by Norbert Wiener, a renowned mathematician and one of the pioneers of cybernetics. The book deals with the application of probability theory and stochastic processes to the study of nonlinear systems. It explores the behavior of systems that exhibit randomness and nonlinearity, and how these two factors interact to produce complex and unpredictable outcomes.The book is divided into three parts. The first part introduces the basic concepts of probability theory and stochastic processes, and discusses their application to the study of nonlinear systems. The second part focuses on specific examples of nonlinear systems, including the behavior of random walks, the dynamics of nonlinear oscillators, and the analysis of stochastic differential equations. The third and final part of the book explores the application of nonlinear random theory to a range of fields, including physics, engineering, and economics.Throughout the book, Wiener emphasizes the importance of understanding the complex interplay between randomness and nonlinearity in the behavior of systems. He also emphasizes the practical applications of nonlinear random theory, and the potential for this field to contribute to the development of new technologies and scientific discoveries.Overall, Nonlinear Problems in Random Theory is a comprehensive and insightful exploration of the application of probability theory and stochastic processes to the study of nonlinear systems. It is a valuable resource for mathematicians, physicists, engineers, and anyone interested in the behavior of complex systems.Technology Press Research Monographs.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
