This volume brings together fifteen seminal essays by Thom Mertens, a professor at the Ruusbroec Institute (Ruusbroecgenootschap) at Antwerp University since 1985, and a pioneer in the study of the late medieval spiritual literature of the Low Countries, a field that had previously been neglected in favour of the study of belle lettres. This volume is therefore also a celebration of the paradigm shift that Mertens led, as he demonstrated that most of the late medieval texts produced in the Low Countries actually qualify as spiritual literature, and that these understudied literary works are of prime importance within late medieval textual culture. Of the essays gathered here, nine have been translated into English for the first time, while six have been re-edited, forming a collection that bears witness to the importance of Dutch literature as a broader part of the vernacular literatures of Western Europe, and of the societies that gave rise to these works. It is in large part thanks to Mertens' efforts that serious scholarly engagement with these spiritual texts, their characteristics, and their function has become a field of research in its own right that continues to flourish.
Wahre und falsche Aussagen werden vom Computer durch das Setzen und Loschen von Flags ausgedruckt, wobei der Wert 1 fur wahr und 0 fur falsch steht. Flags, auch Boole'sche Werte genannt, werden unter anderem bei der bedingten Programmausfuhrung benutzt. Auch bei den Vergleichen: {}(groBer als), {=} (gleich) werden Flags gesetzt. Das gleiche gilt fur: {O>} (groBer Null), {O
Das Buch gibt einen kompakten, aber umfassenden Überblick über das Problemlösen und Programmieren mit "Constraints" (Randbedingungen). Diese aktuelle Programmiermethodik ermöglicht es, Aufgaben direkt zu formulieren und effizient zu lösen. Sie gewinnt zusehends Bedeutung in Anwendungsbereichen wie Kombinatorische Suchprobleme (z.B. Zeitplanen, Layout-Optimierung), Berechnungen (Finanzanalyse), Simulation (Hardware-Verifikation) oder allgemein Schließen und Rechnen mit ungenauer oder unvollständiger Information (z.B. Kostenschätzung). Die theoretisch fundierte Darstellung mit Aufgaben und Anwendungsbeispielen aus der Praxis ist in der Lehre erprobt, aber auch für Forscher und Praktiker von Nutzen.
The use of constraints had its scientific and commercial breakthrough in the 1990s. Programming with constraints makes it possible to model and specify problems with uncertain, incomplete information and to solve combi natorial problems, as they are abundant in industry and commerce, such as scheduling, planning, transportation, resource allocation, layout, design, and analysis. This book is a short, concise, and complete presentation of constraint programming and reasoning, covering theoretical foundations, algorithms, implementations, examples, and applications. It is based on more than a decade of experience in teaching and research about this subject. This book is intended primarily for graduate students, researchers, and practitioners in diverse areas of computer science and related fields, including programming languages, computational logic, symbolic computation, and ar tificial intelligence. The book is complemented by a web-page with teaching material, software, links, and more. We take the reader on a step-by-step journey through the world of constraint-based programming and constraint reasoning. Feel free to join in ... Acknowledgements Thorn thanks his wife Andrea and his daughter Anna - for everything. He dedicates his contribution to the book to the memory of his mother, Grete. Slim thanks his wife N abila and his daughters Shirine and Amira for their ongoing support and patience.
Revision with unchanged content. Emotionally Intelligent Ballet Training (EIBT) provides a research-based compendium of learning and teaching activities and offers a way forward for ballet teachers and student dancers seeking to improve their social and emotional learning and teaching tools, to enhance the quality of vocational dance training and to foster artistic, social and technical competence. Learning and teaching ballet at the highest level puts great demands on the individual. Student dancers must cope with their own expectations and career goals alongside the intense demands of traditional authoritarian ballet pedagogy. Ballet teachers are under pressure to foster, nurture and teach ballet to highly talented adolescents in mental and physical preparation for a successful career in dance, an extremely competitive profession. This book explores the emotional aspects of learning and teaching ballet at elite dance conservatoires using an inductive-deductive research methodology, outlining the potential of applying the concept of social and emotional learning and teaching in a dance-specific context.

Gedanken fragen nicht, ob sie gerade st ren. Und so pr sentiert sich die vorliegende Sammlung von Aphorismen und Gedankenfragmenten trotz alphabetischer Anordnung eher wild und ungeordnet. Sie enth lt ein breites Spektrum an Gedanken und Denkanst en zu unterschiedlichsten aktuellen gesellschaftlichen Themen, die dem Autor wichtig sind und in mehr oder weniger pointierter Form von sich reden machen wollen. Aber auch an Banalit ten fehlt es nicht. Mitunter war es einfach die Sprache selbst, waren es verstaubte Redewendungen, die dazu aufforderten mit Sprache zu spielen. Themenschwerpunkte lassen sich mit Hilfe der Begriffe Ethik, Moral, Finanzen und Wahrheit fixieren. Nach- und Weiterdenken ist erw nscht. Wer m ndig ist, bedient sich des eigenen Verstandes ohne Leitung eines anderen, wie Kant es formuliert hat. M ndigkeit erlangt man, indem man nicht einfach fremde Meinungen und Wahrheiten bernimmt, sondern indem man Fragen stellt und kl rt. Die moderne Naturwissenschaft hat l ngst gezeigt, dass vieles von dem, was vordem als sicher galt, in Frage steht. Es sind nicht die Antworten, sondern die Fragen, die unseren Horizont erweitern. Die Antworten setzen nur neue Perspektiven.
Alle Ideen und Ver nderungen entstehen im Kopf. Doch welche Macht dem Denken zukommt, verschweigt man uns wohlweislich, und so l uft man Gefahr, den Mediensalat unreflektiert zu konsumieren und sich keine oder die falschen Gedanken zu machen. Die hier verschriftlichten Gedanken verstehen sich als Prolog zum Weiterdenken. Es ist erstaunlich, was man so alles findet, wenn man seine Gedanken aphoristisch entr mpelt. Dabei ziert sich ein Aphorismus nicht, auch mal zu provozieren oder er berrascht mit ungebetenen Antworten, die Fragen aufwerfen.
