  Success and Ethics -...

  In einer groß angelegten europaweit durchgeführten Studie – mit einem besonderen Schwerpunkt auf die den sog. Visegrád-Staaten – war es Zielsetzung, die Unternehmensethik als Wettbewerbsfaktor zu erforschen. Dies mit dem Ziel, die Voraussetzungen für den nachhaltigen Transfer ethischer Werte in die unternehmerische Praxis (das unternehmerische (Personal-)Management) zu untersuchen und daraus portable Modelle für die Implementierung und Validierung (Zertifizierung, Messung) ethischer Schlüsselwerte zu entwickeln. Leitfrage der Untersuchung war es dabei, wie sich der Bezug zwischen ökonomischem Interesse und ethischer Normenorientierung so vermitteln lässt, dass die Etablierung ethischer Werte im Unternehmensmanagement anstatt zu einer Einschränkung zu einer Erhöhung der Wettbewerbsstärke (Ethik als Erfolgsfaktor) führt.

  Agency and Cognitive Development

  Children of different ages live in different worlds. This is partly due to learning: as children learn more and more about the world they experience it in different ways. But learning cannot be the whole story or else children could learn anything at any age—which they cannot. 
   
   
   
  Michael Tomasello argues that children of different ages live and learn in different worlds because their capacities to cognitively represent and operate on their experience change in significant ways over the first years of life. These capacities change because they are elements in a maturing cognitive architecture evolved for agentive decision making and action, including in shared agencies in which individuals must mentally coordinate with others. The developmental proposal is that from birth infants are goal-directed agents who cognitively represent and learn about actualities; at 9-12 months toddlers become intentional (and joint) agents who also imaginatively and perspectively represent and learn about possibilities; and at 3-4 years children become metacognitive (and collective) agents who also metacognitively represent and learn about objective/normative necessities. These developing agentive architectures—originally evolved in humans' evolutionary ancestors for particular types of decision making and action—help to explain why children learn what they do when they do.

  Buying Silence - How oligarchs...

  This timely and important book focuses on the controversial issue of SLAPP cases – Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation – which are designed to censor, intimidate and silence critics by burdening them with aggressive opposing lawyers, heavy legal costs and enquiry agents until they abandon the case.
  David Hooper, veteran media lawyer, explores how the power of money enabled the very wealthy to crush their critics and outlines the tactics they used.
  He examines how billionaire oligarchs, often ex-convicts and linked to organised crime, have tried to launder their reputation in this country by suing for libel, and how they have found lawyers only too happy to pocket their roubles.
  Hooper describes his experience with some of these oligarchs, including Boris Berezovsky when Hooper needed an armed bodyguard while collecting evidence in Moscow. It was a case where both plaintiffs were ultimately murdered, as was his client, the editor of Forbes Russia.
  The UK also has its home-grown Slappsters, of whom Nadhim Zahawi and Mohamed Amersi are the most recent examples. They also come from Greece, Sweden, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Malta and the United States. Hooper describes how those with something to hide tried, with varying degrees of success, to stop you knowing about it, and how their lawyers were willing to help them. The well-paid legal profession does not emerge with credit.

  Rare & Severe Infections - From...

  Uncommon infections represent the frontiers of medical challenge, where diagnostic complexity, rapid progression, and severe outcomes converge to create some of the most daunting scenarios in clinical medicine. This comprehensive exploration delves into three distinct yet equally consequential infections—Meningitis, Elephantiasis (Lymphatic Filariasis), and Legionella pneumophila infection—each exemplifying the remarkable diversity of microbial pathogenesis and the profound ways in which rare infections can transform human health and lives. 
  The narrative of rare and severe infections extends beyond their medical rarity; it encompasses the intricate biological mechanisms, unique transmission patterns, and complex clinical presentations that make these conditions simultaneously fascinating to researchers and devastating to patients. By examining the neurological inflammation of meningitis, the disfiguring lymphatic disruption of elephantiasis, and the respiratory assault of Legionella, this book illuminates how different pathogenic organisms exploit specific biological vulnerabilities to produce extraordinarily consequential diseases. Readers will journey through the epidemiological landscapes where these infections emerge—from the global burden of meningococcal disease to the tropical endemic regions of lymphatic filariasis and the modern built environments where Legionella thrives—while exploring the scientific advances in diagnosis, treatment, and prevention that offer hope against these formidable pathogens.
