Mobilität ist eine der wichtigsten Ressourcen, die wesentlich über Selbständigkeit und Autonomie im Alter entscheidet und somit Lebensqualität und Wohlbefinden bestimmt. Einschränkungen der Mobilität sind sichere und sehr frühe Anzeichen von krankhaft veränderten und beschleunigten Alterungsprozessen sowie Krankheiten im Alter mit schwerwiegenden Folgen für die betroffenen Patienten (Verlust von Fähigkeiten, Erkrankung, Pflegebedürftigkeit, Institutionalisierung und Tod) sowie entsprechenden personellen und finanziellen Belastungen der Gesundheits- und Sozialsicherungssysteme in Deutschland.Aufgrund funktioneller Veränderungen von Sensorik, Motorik und Kognition im Alter kann es zu Einbußen und Verlust von Mobilität mit weitreichenden Folgen kommen. Deshalb ist die Sicherung bzw. der Erhalt von Mobilität im Alter eine wichtige Schlüsselkomponente erfolgreichen Alter(n)s. Ein wesentlicher Teil von Mobilität ist die Teilnahme am Straßenverkehr; sei es durch den Gebrauch des eigenen PKWs, durch Nutzung eines Fahrrads, zu Fuß oder die Nutzung der Angebote des öffentlichen Personennahverkehrs. Statistische Auswertungen zeigen, dass ältere Menschen zunehmend in Unfälle verwickelt sind. Die demografische Entwicklung spricht dafür, dass die Problematik der Verkehrseignung im Alter zunimmt. Auch wenn die Gesamtanzahl der Fälle nicht sehr groß ist, verbucht sie damit erhebliches menschliches Leid bei den Betroffenen (seien sie Verletzte oder Unfallfahrer). Welche Einflüsse Alter(n)s-assoziierter Veränderungen auf Mobilität, Teilnahme am Straßenverkehr und Fahrkompetenz haben, wird in diesem Band der Reihe Praxiswissen Gerontologie und Geriatrie kompakt für Berufsgruppen aufbereitet, die direkt an der Versorgung älterer Menschen beteiligt sind. Das Ziel ist, die Reichweite und Vielschichtigkeit des Themenkomplexes aufzuzeigen, um auf dieser Basis im Team zu überlegen, welche Maßnahmen angezeigt sind, wenn sichere Teilnahme am Straßenverkehr gefährdet oder gar schon nicht mehr möglich ist.
Franz Neumann's classic account of the governmental workings of Nazi Germany, first published in 1942, is reprinted in a new paperback edition with an introduction by the distinguished historian Peter Hayes. Neumann was one of the only early Frankfurt School thinkers to examine seriously the problem of political institutions. After the rise of the Nazis to power, his emphasis shifted to an analysis of economic power, and then after the war to political psychology. But his contributions in Behemoth were groundbreaking: that the Nazi organization of society involved the collapse of traditional ideas of the state, of ideology, of law, and even of any underlying rationality. The book must be "studied, not simply read," Raul Hilberg wrote.
Bioinspired computation methods such as evolutionary algorithms and ant colony optimization are being applied successfully to complex engineering problems and to problems from combinatorial optimization, and with this comes the requirement to more fully understand the computational complexity of these search heuristics. This is the first textbook covering the most important results achieved in this area. The authors study the computational complexity of bioinspired computation and show how runtime behavior can be analyzed in a rigorous way using some of the best-known combinatorial optimization problems -- minimum spanning trees, shortest paths, maximum matching, covering and scheduling problems. A feature of the book is the separate treatment of single- and multiobjective problems, the latter a domain where the development of the underlying theory seems to be lagging practical successes.This book will be very valuable for teaching courses on bioinspired computation and combinatorial optimization. Researchers will also benefit as the presentation of the theory covers the most important developments in the field over the last 10 years. Finally, with a focus on well-studied combinatorial optimization problems rather than toy problems, the book will also be very valuable for practitioners in this field.

Frank Neumann focuses on establishing a theoretical basis that allows a description of the interplay between individual and collective processes in product development. For this purpose, he introduces the integrated descriptive model of knowledge creation as the first constituent of his research framework. As a second part of the research framework, an analysis and modeling method is proposed that captures the various knowledge conversion activities described by the integrated descriptive model of knowledge creation. Subsequently, this research framework is applied to the analysis of knowledge characteristics of mechatronic product development (MPD). Finally, the results gained from the previous steps are used within a design support system that aims at federating the information and knowledge resources contained in the models published in the various development activities of MPD.
Samtalen utspelar sig mest vid köksbordet. Under två år träffas Sabine och Anas för att prata om Anas liv i Damaskus och hans resa till Malmö medan livet i Sverige samtidigt går vidare för honom. Vi får höra om pojken som tidigt förstod att han var annorlunda, som älskade att dansa och helst lekte med flickor. Vi får höra om böglivet i Damaskus och om vännerna som så småningom spreds ut över hela jordklotet. Vi följer Anas på hans långa resa till Malmö , via Turkiet med gummibåt till Grekland och sedan till fots samt med buss och tåg över Europas olika gränser tills han anländer i Sverige, landet som han har hört så mycket gott om . En bok om vänskap, mod och längtan efter att få vara den man är.
