Abstract

Connect, Orientate, Reflect und Energize - dieses Buch bietet Ihnen ein universelles Konzept für Zufriedenheit, Glück, Gesundheit und persönlichen Reichtum. Im Fokus stehen Ihre Gedanken und Empfindungen: diese strahlen von innen nach außen, bestimmen Ihre persönliche Stimmungslage und Ihr reales Handeln, färben ab auf Ihre Umgebung und beeinflussen sogar Ihr physisches Erscheinungsbild. Eine gute Steuerung Ihres eigenen Denkens resultiert in einer authentischen und kraftvollen Verbindung zu Ihren Mitmenschen und führt Sie privat und beruflich in alle Richtungen und auf alle Lebenswege, die in Ihrem tiefsten Innern bereits angelegt sind. Thomas Herbst vermittelt überzeugend, wie Sie Ihre Empfindungswelt bewusst und selbstverantwortlich auf gute Weise lenken lernen: Verändern Sie Ihre Denkmuster, gewinnen Sie Ihre Lebensenergie zurück und richten Sie diese konsequent auf Ihr Lebensglück. Sie werden Ihre Umgebung im besten Sinne damit anstecken. Der Inhalt Connect – Die Verbindung herstellen Orientate - Die Richtung bestimmen Reflect - Das eigene Denken verändern Energize - Die innere Energie steuern Der Autor Thomas Herbst studierte Betriebswirtschaftslehre (Logistik, Marketing, Psychologie). Seit 1999 ist er selbstständiger Trainer, Coach und Seminarleiter für die Themen Kommunikation, Konflikt, Vertrieb, Führung, Lifestyle und Selbstentwicklung. Seine Arbeitssprachen sind Deutsch und Englisch. Heute lebt und arbeitet er in der Nähe von Heidelberg.

Abstract

The accuracy of particle filters for nonlinear state-space models crucially depends on the proposal distribution that mutates time t-1 particle values into time t values. In the widely-used bootstrap particle filter, this distribution is generated by the state-transition equation. While straightforward to implement, the practical performance is often poor. We develop a self-tuning particle filter in which the proposal distribution is constructed adaptively through a sequence of Monte Carlo steps. Intuitively, we start from a measurement error distribution with an inflated variance, and then gradually reduce the variance to its nominal level in a sequence of tempering steps. We show that the filter generates an unbiased and consistent approximation of the likelihood function. Holding the run time fixed, our filter is substantially more accurate in two DSGE model applications than the bootstrap particle filter.

Abstract

Biomedical Entanglements is an ethnographic study of the Giri people of Papua New Guinea, focusing on the indigenous population’s interaction with modern medicine. In her fieldwork, Franziska A. Herbst follows the Giri people as they circulate within and around ethnographic sites that include a rural health center and an urban hospital. The study bridges medical anthropology and global health, exploring how the ‘biomedical’ is imbued with social meaning and how biomedicine affects Giri ways of life.

Abstract

Over the next generation, Sub-Saharan Africa faces three big, inter-related challenges. Its population will double to 2 billion by 2045. By then, more than half of Africans will be living in cities. And this group of mostly young people will be connected with each other and the world through mobile devices. Properly planned for and harnessed, this situation is a tremendously positive force for change. But without economic growth and jobs, it could prove a political and social catastrophe. With these population increases, old systems of patronage and of muddling through will no longer work. Instead, if leaders want to remain in power, they will have to find a more dynamic means of promoting growth. A first-hand account of a rapidly changing region, Making Africa Work is a handbook for ensuring growth beyond commodities and creating jobs across the continent. --

Abstract

"Corinth Excavations has long held a special place in American archaeology in Greece as the primary training excavation for graduate students associated with the American School of Classical Studies at Athens. As a result, the field manual has had a particular influence among American excavators and projects in Greece, among Mediterranean archaeologists, and in archaeology classrooms"--Web site.
