Die Frage nach den Methoden zur Zucht unserer H hner bereitet so manchem Hobbyz chter Kopfzerbrechen. Vor allem das Thema Inzucht wird in der H hnerzucht - und auch anderswo - oft kontrovers diskutiert. Da die tats chliche Wirkungsweise dieser Zuchtform dennoch viel zu selten beleuchtet wird, f hrt dies mitunter zu einiger Unsicherheit unter den Z chtern und nimmt ihnen damit vielleicht die M glichkeit, effektiver zu z chten und ihre Ziele schneller zu erreichen. Eine Erkl rung des grundlegenden Sachverhaltes ist vonn ten. In diesem Buch sollen die Chancen, aber auch die Risiken dieser Zuchtform n her beleuchtet werden.

This study, spanning c. 1980 to 2016, offers an alternative critical perspective of the poetic works of the acclaimed Spanish poet Ana Rossetti. At its core, it explores the presence of Posthumanism and the mystical in late 20th and early 21st Century Iberian poetics, and more specifically, how Rossetti's more recent poetry expresses the same tendency toward a transcultural and posthuman model that is simultaneously essentialist and deconstructive. The books examines modern Iberian mysticism as found in the works of such authors as Blanca Andreu, Clara Janés, and Joaquim Pessoa, Vergílio Alberto Vieira, among others. Such poetic works establish themselves within a unique framework of mystical illumination which itself incorporates elements of late postmodern deconstruction and, more recently, a criticism of the posthuman condition as analyzed in critical works on the subject.

Nachhaltigkeit ist die Herausforderung des Jahrzehntes. Kunden, Investoren, der Gesetzgeber und nicht zuletzt die eigenen Mitarbeiter verlangen dies oder setzen Nachhaltigkeitsinitiativen mittlerweile als Standard voraus. Viele Unternehmen wollen auch aktiv werden, wissen aber nicht, wie und wo sie starten sollen. Gerade der Mittelstand ist davon betroffen. Mit diesem Buch wollen wir einen Beitrag leisten, Unternehmen Wege zu zeigen, wie sie erfolgreich Nachhaltigkeitsinitiativen starten k nnen. Dabei beleuchten wir die Felder der Strategieentwicklung, der ISO 26000 und das Berichtsformat des DNK. Operativ zeigen wir, welche Rolle Nachhaltigkeit bei Themen wie Verpackungen, Kunststoffen und in der HR spielen.

Zeitarbeit bedeutet f r viele Unternehmen Flexibilit t. Gerade in der aktuellen VUCA-Welt. So k nnen Unternehmen sicherstellen, immer schnell auf ver nderte Rahmenbedingungen zu reagieren. Welche Vor- und Nachteile es bei der Zeitarbeit gibt, zeigen wir in diesem Buch. Eine der gr ten Risiken ist die Subsidi rhaftung. Subsidi rhaftung bedeutet kurz gesagt, dass Unternehmen f r Sozialabgaben haften, sollte ihr Personaldienstleister diese nicht bezahlen k nnen. Allerdings gibt es Wege, dieses Risiko zu minimieren und betroffene Dienstleister fr hzeitig zu identifizieren. Die Mittel dazu, finden Sie in diesem Buch. Das Buch ist f r alle CEOs, CFOs und Personalleiter, die Zeitarbeit aktiv als HR-Tool nutzen oder in Zukunft nutzen wollen.

There is something difficult to address in the poems of Robert Simon's new collection, An Ode To Friendship. Perhaps, it is the purity contained in the flagrantly traditional and formal language that wraps itself from cover to cover. Some might find fault with such a jarring approach, given the 21st Century we find ourselves gasping through of late. I am of the other opinion. When reading Simon's work, I become lost in what one must assume to have been a painfully liquid transition, through a seamless and unspecified period of time. These are poems where technique meets soul; where that very same soul is in a constant struggle with its brother, intellect. Robert Simon sneaks up on us with this, and the result becomes a deliciously subtle agony, recognizing how tears and tears can intersect, causing delight in the midst of despair. -Sam Pereira

This book contributes to the ongoing discussion of the place of contemporary Galician writer Blanca Andreu’s work within the 1980s post-“novísimo” movement, as part of a larger resurgence of the Surrealist in Spanish poetry and its possible placement in the more recent mystical poetry of Spain. It provides a detailed textual analysis of her poetry, and in doing so reveals not only that her work encompasses notions of the surreal and the mystical but also, although Andreu has so far written entirely in Castilian (Spanish), that her poetry utilizes a variety of traditional Galician and Portuguese symbols and images. In this way her work challenges the boundaries between what we as readers may accept as a solely Castilian, Galician, or Spanish poetic. It bases its transtheoretical framework on findings from such fields as Galician studies, Iberian studies, mysticism studies, paradigm shift studies, and regional studies over the past two decades. Ultimately, this comprehensive and unique study shows how Andreu’s multifaceted transnational work may pertain to, and expand, our knowledge of each of these areas of focus.

Le situazioni critiche in medicina d’urgenza e in terapia intensiva rappresentano una tra le sfide più difficili nella pratica clinica. La natura stessa dell’ambiente di cura, l’incertezza, il rischio elevato, i tempi ristretti e lo stress, rendono queste discipline particolarmente vulnerabili agli errori nella gestione dei pazienti. Nell’ultimo decennio è diventato sempre più evidente, che la capacità di erogare trattamenti sicuri in queste circostanze dipende da un’approfondita conoscenza dei meccanismi all’origine dell’errore umano. Questo volume, che è la traduzione italiana della seconda edizione di Crisis Management in Acute Care Settings, propone una rassegna originale e completa di tutti i problemi correlati ai fattori umani, rilevanti per la sicurezza dei pazienti durante l’erogazione di trattamenti urgenti. Le energie di medici e psicologi si sono mescolate in un testo facilmente accessibile, che aiuterà i medici e altri professionisti della salute a comprendere meglio i principi del comportamento umano e del processo decisionale nelle situazioni critiche, per evitare errori e garantire un trattamento più sicuro ai loro pazienti.

Addressing both collegiate and professional sports, the updated edition of Fair Play: The Ethics of Sport explores the ethical presuppositions of competitive athletics and their connection both to ethical theory and to concrete moral dilemmas that arise in actual athletic competition. This fourth edition has been updated with new examples, including a discussion of Spygate by the New England Patriots and recent discoveries on the use of performance enhancing drugs by top athletes. Two additional authors, Cesar R. Torres and Peter F. Hager, bring to this edition a discussion of the moral issues involved in youth sports and the ethics of being a fan, as well as a fresh perspective on the theories of broad internalism and the quest for excellence. Furthermore, major criticisms of broad internalism by philosophers William J. Morgan and Scott Kretchmar add a new dimension to the discussion on the moral foundations of winning.

The Ethics of Coaching Sports features invited contributions written by prominent scholars examining a broad range of normative or evaluative issues that arise from the role of the coach in competitive sports. The collection is accessible and comprehensive, including discussion of concrete issues in coaching, such as the distribution of playing time, bullying, the implications of recent events surrounding the Pennsylvania State scandal, and Title IX and gender equity. The contributing authors also explore the larger ethical considerations of the role of the coach as educator, leader, and moral role model special considerations when coaching children and an examination of the failures of coaches to meet appropriate standards when they do not respect their players and their programs. Each contributor presents the main arguments and positions relevant to their chosen topic and, with the ground set, the authors then seek to advance the reader's theoretical and philosophical understanding of coaching. Robert L. Simon's introductions to each of the book's four parts help to summarize the main theses of the contributors' chapters and examine differences between how each author approaches their chosen subject.Study questions are also provided for each chapter, making The Ethics of Coaching Sports the perfect companion for classes on sports ethics and coaching.

The Modern, the Postmodern, and the Fact of Transition defines the basic parameters of Thomas Kuhn’s paradigm shift theory as applied to the evolution of Spanish and Portuguese societies from the 1950s to the end of the twentieth century, from the perspective of a similar shift in poetry. Kuhn’s theory states that a paradigm shift must happen in three phases: the crisis phase, the transition phase, and the adoption phase. The paradigm in question is the “postmodern” social (and thus, literary) paradigm made popular in criticism and social discourse during the 1990s. This shift in the Iberian context, therefore, will be analyzed in three phases: the first, from 1955 to 1975; and the latter two, from 1975 to 2000. This approximation provides a template for a vision of Iberian societies’ evolution as ongoing and fraught with contradictory notions of centralization and deconstruction as simultaneous and somehow complimentary.
