Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -In person-centred psychotherapy, there is a method of pre-therapy developed by Garry Prouty. Using this method, special moments of relationship experience can be experienced even with people who have severely limited contact and are considered 'untreatable' - a way of reaching people with severe mental disabilities, dementia or chronic psychiatric patients who have been hospitalised for many years. After an introduction to the limits of reduced perception, detailed case reports are used to explain how pre-therapeutic concepts are put into practice. The seminar also highlights ways of using sound therapy methods to establish non-verbal 'contact' - which, according to Rogers, is a prerequisite for moments of encounter. The extraordinary moments of 'being in contact' are discussed from a person-centred perspective, with a particular focus on the topics of actualisation tendency, empathy, resonance and dialogical components. A common thread running through this paper is the central question: where does psychotherapy begin.…

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -This book analyzes the relationship between exchange rate policy and economic growth in developing and emerging countries from 1980 to 2008, with an emphasis on the level and volatility of exchange rates. After a theoretical discussion, these relationships were explored empirically, proving a positive correlation between undervalued exchange rates and economic growth and a negative correlation between exchange rate volatility and economic growth in developing and emerging countries. Its conclusions highlight that exchange rate arrangements characterized by competitive and stable exchange rates represent a pro-growth exchange rate policy strategy, whereas appreciated and volatile exchange rates are part of a malignant regime that discourages economic growth. In Brazil, between 1994 and 2008, a malignant exchange rate arrangement can be identified, given the tendency toward appreciation and excessive volatility. In view of this, it was pointed out that it is necessary to reduce vulnerability to movements in the capital and financial account in Brazil, which, at the same time, reduces excessive exchange rate volatility and contributes to maintaining a competitive exchange rate to promote exports, investments, and growth.…

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -This paper deals with the topic of risky decisions. Different factors are correlated and their influence on decision-making behaviour is calculated using binary logistic regressions. Specifically, three different areas are considered: the economic area, the legal area and the health area. secondly, the objective problem orientation using opportunity and threat scenarios, and thirdly, three different payoffs and probabilities of consequences - referred to in this paper as number combinations - are examined using framing scenarios based on the formal model of the Asian Disease Problem. For this purpose, six questionnaire versions with six monetary decision situations each are created, which depict the individual factors in different combinations. In addition, the predictive power of eleven known heuristics is tested. The results show a significant influence of the area on decision-making behaviour. Furthermore, potential interactions with possible approaches for further studies are discussed.…

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - After the oil spill that occurred in January 2000 in Guanabara Bay, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Petrobras developed a research project for the environmental and socioeconomic characterization of Guanabara Bay. The objective of this work was to integrate data and increase the potential for knowledge and use of project information by seeking unconventional techniques in environmental studies. Physical-chemical and biological water parameter data collected every two weeks over a two-year period (2005 and 2007) at 10 sampling stations distributed throughout the bay were evaluated. An organization for the data in a spatial database model (geodatabase) was evaluated, and a spatio-temporal investigation was carried out using exploratory techniques and supervised (decision tree) and unsupervised (fuzzy) classification analyses, considering multivariate criteria. These understandings enabled the generation of a new zoning for the assessment of the bay's water quality. The potential contribution of geoprocessing tools as an interface for accessing the database and in the processes of analysis, integration, and spatial presentation of information was also explored.…

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - The creation of the world is a cosmogonic lore in religions whose feature is the presence of a Creator God. The planet we now call Earth underwent many transformations before becoming the host of the modern world of minerals, plants, animals and humans. Theosophists and anthroposophists draw information about the Creation of the Earth and mankind from the Akasha Chronicles, which contain knowledge about everything that every intelligent being has thought, said and done during the entire time of its existence, as well as about all variants of future development for mankind as a whole and for each individual.The author explores the Theosophical and Anthoposophical teachings on the Creation of the World and the Earth, as well as on the relationship between the development of the Earth and humanity. The work may be useful for philosophers, theologians, religious scholars and all thinking people. …

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Maids are often portrayed as funny and cheeky on the opera stage, even though their lives were very difficult at the time when the operas were written. It is interesting that opera maids have this typical character and that they are usually sung by a soubrette. This paper presents the lives of real maids, their artistic basis and development on the opera stage. Anne Ubersfeld's actantial analysis aims to shed additional light on the motivations of these servants. I have endeavoured to research four different opera roles (Despina, Blonde, Adele, Serpina). 60 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -For several decades, researchers have been investigating whether bilinguals and monolinguals differ in their linguistic and cognitive abilities. About 50 years ago, it was believed that exposing children to more than one language was dangerous. However, recent studies show that bilingual children have advantages in cognitive development over monolingual children. Among other things, bilingual children outperform monolingual children in executive control tasks. This study investigated the extent to which the linguistic similarity of the two languages spoken by a bilingual child influences executive control. 56 pp. Englisch.…

This book presents a comparative study of three methods of measuring blood pressure: vascular Doppler, oscillometric, and the invasive method by catheterization of the artery in dogs. It is a scientific publication that provides better information on the subject and explains how to work with each measurement method properly, so that it can be used more frequently in the daily routine of small animal clinics. 52 pp. Englisch. …

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This thesis, entitled 'Voice Training for Children in Boys' Choirs', focuses specifically on my experiences to date as a voice coach with the St. Florian Boys' Choir, a traditional boys' choir founded in 1071. A key topic of my thesis is the vocal development of children up to the point of voice change and, subsequently, the question of whether singing during voice change is advisable. Important parameters of voice training are described and explained in more detail using tried-and-tested vocal exercises that have helped me greatly in my lessons with the boys. Another equally important topic in children's voice training is the inner sound image through solmisation, which is also discussed. 52 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This paper describes ear training lessons with flute students aged 8 to 11. As part of an experiment, sixteen beginner flute students receive four months of targeted ear training in their individual instrumental lessons. The following four aspects are particularly emphasised: 1) hearing intervals, 2) playing music from memory, 3) recognising programme music, and 4) hearing sounds/playing sounds. The results of the tests from the experimental group compared with a control group clearly show that it makes perfect sense to include ear training more systematically in beginner instrumental lessons. A welcome side effect is that many students who are taught to listen consciously not only develop a great joy in free playing, but also, with appropriate guidance, in organised improvisation. 56 pp. Englisch.…
