A New Meaning-Mission Fit - Michelle French Holloway - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

A New Meaning-Mission Fit - Michelle French Holloway - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This book offers a clear process for managers, professionals, and future leaders to help discover their personal meaning in life and apply it to their work. The author uses research outcomes and theories to refute the contemporary philosophy that stresses following an individual''s passion alone when choosing a particular job or career. Instead, she recommends employing a personal meaning-oriented approach to life and work, and then becoming passionate about one''s work organically. The book also highlights the positive outcomes to organizations and societies when individuals engage with finding meaning in work, focusing on physical and emotional health and satisfaction. The author provides numerous examples of leaders who have aligned their personal meaning and organizational mission, also known as "meaning-mission fit," and the relationship of this alignment to their emotional well-being. Together, the research, theory, and evidence in this book equip leaders and managers with an inspiring model to find their own meaning-mission fit, as well as create opportunities for the employees to do the same.

Fitting Splines to a Parametric Function - Alvin Penner - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Fitting Splines to a Parametric Function - Alvin Penner - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This Brief investigates the intersections that occur between three different areas of study that normally would not touch each other: ODF, spline theory, and topology. The Least Squares Orthogonal Distance Fitting (ODF) method has become the standard technique used to develop mathematical models of the physical shapes of objects, due to the fact that it produces a fitted result that is invariant with respect to the size and orientation of the object. It is normally used to produce a single optimum fit to a specific object; this work focuses instead on the issue of whether the fit responds continuously as the shape of the object changes. The theory of splines develops user-friendly ways of manipulating six different splines to fit the shape of a simple family of epiTrochoid curves: two types of Bézier curve, two uniform B-splines, and two Beta-splines. This work will focus on issues that arise when mathematically optimizing the fit. There are typically multiple solutions to the ODF method, and the number of solutions can often change as the object changes shape, so two topological questions immediately arise: are there rules that can be applied concerning the relative number of local minima and saddle points, and are there different mechanisms available by which solutions can either merge and disappear, or cross over each other and interchange roles. The author proposes some simple rules which can be used to determine if a given set of solutions is internally consistent in the sense that it has the appropriate number of each type of solution.

Teachers Can Be Financially Fit - Mark C. Schug - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Teachers Can Be Financially Fit - Mark C. Schug - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This book uses relatable case studies to dispense practical financial advice to educators. Written by an expert team of four award-winning economics educators, the book provides an engaging narrative specifically designed for teachers and their unique financial needs. Educators are attracted to the teaching profession for numerous reasons. Prospective teachers enter the profession believing it offers a certain level of job security and good benefits, usually including a defined-benefit, state-funded pension. But things are changing. Pensions vary widely from state to state and even within school districts. Many private schools do not offer even basic 403(b) saving plans and, when they do, they are often not very generous. Much the same can be said of many charter schools and private colleges and universities. The book consists of fourteen chapters covering a comprehensive group of topics specifically curated for educators teaching at the K-12 and university level, including saving for retirement, managing debt, investment strategies, and real estate. Each chapter begins with a case study of an educator in a specific financial situation, which sets the scene for the introduction and explanation of key concepts. The chapters include a Q&A section to address common questions and conclude with a "Financial 911" focusing on a financial emergency related to the chapter topic.

Collapsing Gracefully: Making a Built Environment that is Fit for the Future - Emilio Garcia - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Collapsing Gracefully: Making a Built Environment that is Fit for the Future - Emilio Garcia - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This innovative book investigates the concept of collapse in terms of our built environment, exploring the future transition of modern cities towards scenarios very different from the current promises of progress and development. This is not a book about the end of the world and hopeless apocalyptic scenarios. It is about understanding change in how and where we live. Collapse is inevitable, but in the built environment collapse could imply a manageable situation, an opportunity for change or a devastating reality. Collapsing gracefully means that there might be better ways to coexist with collapse if we learn more about it and commit to rebuild our civilisations in ways that avoid its worst effects. This book uses a wide range of practical examples to study critical changes in the built environment, to contextualise and visualise what collapse looks like, to see if it is possible to buffer its effects in places already collapsing and to propose ways to develop greater resilience. The book challenges all agents and institutions in modern cities, their designers and planners as well as their residents and users to think differently about built environment so as to ease our coexistence with collapse and not contribute to its causes. .

Statistical Analysis of Operational Risk Data - Giovanni De Luca - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Statistical Analysis of Operational Risk Data - Giovanni De Luca - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This concise book for practitioners presents the statistical analysis of operational risk, which is considered the most relevant source of bank risk, after market and credit risk. The book shows that a careful statistical analysis can improve the results of the popular loss distribution approach. The authors identify the risk classes by applying a pooling rule based on statistical tests of goodness-of-fit, use the theory of the mixture of distributions to analyze the loss severities, and apply copula functions for risk class aggregation. Lastly, they assess operational risk data in order to estimate the so-called capital-at-risk that represents the minimum capital requirement that a bank has to hold. The book is primarily intended for quantitative analysts and risk managers, but also appeals to graduate students and researchers interested in bank risks.

Varieties of Political Consumerism - Carolin V. Zorell - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Varieties of Political Consumerism - Carolin V. Zorell - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This book provides an analysis of the politics of consumption and how the ''educated consumer'' plays a vital role in advancing responsible market practices and consumption. Based on a comprehensive interdisciplinary perspective, it explores the extent, drives and links of boycotting, buycotting, labelling schemes and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in 20 European countries. A central question addressed is whether macro-societal patterns of orientation concerning the roles of the state, companies and citizens can explain individual and cross-national differences in boycotting and buycotting. As the book shows, there is not one type of ''political consumer'', but several, and their occurrence is directly connected to national variations of labelling schemes and Corporate Social Responsibility. Consumers need reference points and information on the political backgrounds of purchases, and policy makers must address that need through political measures which fit to the national patterns in views about cooperation and market relationships.

A Primer on Machine Learning in Subsurface Geosciences - Shuvajit Bhattacharya - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

A Primer on Machine Learning in Subsurface Geosciences - Shuvajit Bhattacharya - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This book provides readers with a timely review and discussion of the success, promise, and perils of machine learning in geosciences. It explores the fundamentals of data science and machine learning, and how their advances have disrupted the traditional workflows used in the industry and academia, including geology, geophysics, petrophysics, geomechanics, and geochemistry. It then presents the real-world applications and explains that, while this disruption has affected the top-level executives, geoscientists as well as field operators in the industry and academia, machine learning will ultimately benefit these users. The book is written by a practitioner of machine learning and statistics, keeping geoscientists in mind. It highlights the need to go beyond concepts covered in STAT 101 courses and embrace new computational tools to solve complex problems in geosciences. It also offers practitioners, researchers, and academics insights into how to identify, develop, deploy, and recommend fit-for-purpose machine learning models to solve real-world problems in subsurface geosciences.
