Multidirectional Speed in Sport Research to Application

Multidirectional Speed in Sport Research to Application

During field- and court-based sports players are continually required to perceive their environment within a match and select and perform the most appropriate action to achieve their immediate goal within that match instance. This ability is commonly known as agility considered a vital quality in such sports and may incorporate a variety of locomotion and instantaneous actions. Multidirectional speed is a global term to describe the competency and capacity to perform such actions: accelerate decelerate change direction and ultimately maintain speed in multiple directions and movements within the context of sports-specific scenarios encompassing agility speed and many other related qualities. Multidirectional speed in sport depends on a multitude of factors including perceptual-cognitive abilities physical qualities and the technical ability to perform the previously mentioned actions. Multidirectional Speed in Sport: Research to Application reviews the science of multidirectional speed and translates this information into real-world application in order to provide a resource for practitioners to develop multidirectional speed with athletes bringing together knowledge from a wealth of world-leading researchers and applied practitioners in the area of speed and agility to provide a complete resource to assist practitioners in designing effective multidirectional speed development programmes. This text is critical reading for undergraduate and graduate sports science students all individuals involved in training athletes (e. g. coaches physiotherapists athletic trainers) and researchers in the field of sports science and sports medicine. | Multidirectional Speed in Sport Research to Application

Safety-II in Practice Developing the Resilience Potentials

Safety-II in Practice Developing the Resilience Potentials

Safety-I is defined as the freedom from unacceptable harm. The purpose of traditional safety management is therefore to find ways to ensure this ‘freedom’. But as socio-technical systems steadily have become larger and less tractable this has become harder to do. Resilience engineering pointed out from the very beginning that resilient performance - an organisation’s ability to function as required under expected and unexpected conditions alike – required more than the prevention of incidents and accidents. This developed into a new interpretation of safety (Safety-II) and consequently a new form of safety management. Safety-II changes safety management from protective safety and a focus on how things can go wrong to productive safety and a focus on how things can and do go well. For Safety-II the aim is not just the elimination of hazards and the prevention of failures and malfunctions but also how best to develop an organisation’s potentials for resilient performance – the way it responds monitors learns and anticipates. That requires models and methods that go beyond the Safety-I toolbox. This book introduces a comprehensive approach for the management of Safety-II called the Resilience Assessment Grid (RAG). It explains the principles of the RAG and how it can be used to develop the resilience potentials. The RAG provides four sets of diagnostic and formative questions that can be tailored to any organisation. The questions are based on the principles of resilience engineering and backed by practical experience from several domains. Safety-II in Practice is for both the safety professional and academic reader. For the professional it presents a workable method (RAG) for the management of Safety-II with a proven track record. For academic and student readers the book is a concise and practical presentation of resilience engineering. | Safety-II in Practice Developing the Resilience Potentials

Strategy Activation Canvas

Strategy Activation Canvas

The Strategy Activation Canvas is the new standard for accelerating strategies – beginning where classical strategies end: with its activation. While many management and business canvases focus on developing a strategy the Strategy Activation Canvas helps leaders and decision-makers to bring strategies to life. This book demonstrates for the first time how entire organizations can be “activated”: how people can not only perceive and implement a new strategy but how entire organizations can be heavily involved in its making how strategies are made visible and experienced and how people can play an active and sustaining role throughout bringing a strategy to life. With their decades of experience in large scale organizations Thiessen and Wreschniok pair their knowledge with case studies from Allianz Baloise E. ON Hamburg Commercial Bank Microsoft NORD/LB Swisscom or Swiss Re organizations led by leaders who have significantly accelerated the success and value of their strategies through strategy activation. This book is an essential resource for managers who have responsibility for strategic initiatives and transformation programs of any kind.

Bayesian Designs for Phase I-II Clinical Trials

Bayesian Designs for Phase I-II Clinical Trials

Reliably optimizing a new treatment in humans is a critical first step in clinical evaluation since choosing a suboptimal dose or schedule may lead to failure in later trials. At the same time if promising preclinical results do not translate into a real treatment advance it is important to determine this quickly and terminate the clinical evaluation process to avoid wasting resources. Bayesian Designs for Phase I–II Clinical Trials describes how phase I–II designs can serve as a bridge or protective barrier between preclinical studies and large confirmatory clinical trials. It illustrates many of the severe drawbacks with conventional methods used for early-phase clinical trials and presents numerous Bayesian designs for human clinical trials of new experimental treatment regimes. Written by research leaders from the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center this book shows how Bayesian designs for early-phase clinical trials can explore refine and optimize new experimental treatments. It emphasizes the importance of basing decisions on both efficacy and toxicity. | Bayesian Designs for Phase I-II Clinical Trials

Volume 19 Tome II: Kierkegaard Bibliography English

Volume 19 Tome II: Kierkegaard Bibliography English

The long tradition of Kierkegaard studies has made it impossible for individual scholars to have a complete overview of the vast field of Kierkegaard research. The large and ever increasing number of publications on Kierkegaard in the languages of the world can be simply bewildering even for experienced scholars. The present work constitutes a systematic bibliography which aims to help students and researchers navigate the seemingly endless mass of publications. The volume is divided into two large sections. Part I which covers Tomes I-V is dedicated to individual bibliographies organized according to specific language. This includes extensive bibliographies of works on Kierkegaard in some 41 different languages. Part II which covers Tomes VI-VII is dedicated to shorter individual bibliographies organized according to specific figures who are in some way relevant for Kierkegaard. The goal has been to create the most exhaustive bibliography of Kierkegaard literature possible and thus the bibliography is not limited to any specific time period but instead spans the entire history of Kierkegaard studies. | Volume 19 Tome II: Kierkegaard Bibliography English

World War II Historical Reenactment in Poland The Practice of Authenticity

World War II Historical Reenactment in Poland The Practice of Authenticity

This book explores the consequences of the latest political shifts in Central Eastern Europe: the rise of right-wing parties and among other things politics becoming more invested in history. These phenomena coincide and overlap with the democratisation of history by turning the past into a hot topic persistently present in the public sphere and often evoking strong emotions. Ethnographic research (conducted in 2012-2016) focusing on how World War II reenactors experience the past serves as the basis to analyse the ways in which the group uses the widespread often institutionalised interest in history to – on the one hand – become involved in debates on World War II and the remembrance thereof and – on the other – to authentically experience this past. The volume therefore analyses how physical the process of creating and experiencing grassroots visions of the past is and how these visions interact with the public discourse about the past. Reenactors’ ability to marry the often-contradictory orders of historical truth authenticity and representation is explored. Moreover Baraniecka-Olszewska analyses how the reenactors overcome various obstacles on their way towards authentic experiences performing history through their bodies. | World War II Historical Reenactment in Poland The Practice of Authenticity

Amoris Laetitia and the spirit of Vatican II The Source of Controversy

Amoris Laetitia and the spirit of Vatican II The Source of Controversy

Amoris Laetitia Pope Francis' post-synodal exhortation on love in the family turned out to be one of the most controversial documents of the Magisterium of the Catholic Church in recent decades. It was published in April 2016 following the two Synods of Bishops on the Family held in 2014 and 2015. The document brought division amongst the Catholic hierarchy theologians and pastors and nearly two years after its publication the exact meaning of the document and its implications for the Church are still a matter of dispute. A number of prelates present at the Synods indicated that these gatherings were animated by the spirit of Vatican II. This work links the notion of the spirit of Vatican II with Amoris Laetitia and it argues that a hermeneutics of interpretation of the Second Vatican Council which focuses on following the spirit of the Council is the hermeneutics which can be and in the future most likely will be the predominant way of interpreting and implementing Amoris Laetitia. This book aims to provide a contribution to this hotly debated topic in the field of Catholic theology. | Amoris Laetitia and the spirit of Vatican II The Source of Controversy

Stories of Resilience in Childhood Narratives of Maya Angelou Maxine Hong Kingston Richard Rodriguez John Edgar Wideman and Tobias Wolff

Stories of Resilience in Childhood Narratives of Maya Angelou Maxine Hong Kingston Richard Rodriguez John Edgar Wideman and Tobias Wolff

What helps a child overcome extraordinary obstacles? Why do some children surmount many difficulties and go on to live fulfilling lives while other children who face similar difficulties end up living desperate sad lives? What helps children beat the odds? What builds resilience in children? These are critically important questions yet for too long social scientists doctors psychologists and teachers have studied children who failed and tried to figure out what caused the failure. Only relatively recently have they begun to focus on what creates success. Originally published in 1997 this book is an effort to understand better what contributes to a child’s success and resilience. The source of information will be autobiographies of childhoods – autobiographical stories written by adults remembering their difficult childhoods. This is not a research study or case study rather it is an attempt to read and listen to five stories about resilient children and see what they can tell us about supporting children and building resilience. | Stories of Resilience in Childhood Narratives of Maya Angelou Maxine Hong Kingston Richard Rodriguez John Edgar Wideman and Tobias Wolff

The Jews of the Middle East and North Africa The Impact of World War II

The Jews of the Middle East and North Africa The Impact of World War II

Incorporating published and archival material this volume fills an important gap in the history of the Jewish experience during World War II describing how the war affected Jews living along the southern rim of the Mediterranean and the Levant from Morocco to Iran. Surviving the Nazi slaughter did not mean that Jews living in the Middle East and North Africa were unaffected by the war: there was constant anti-Semitic propaganda and general economic deprivation; communities were bombed; and Jews suffered because of the anti-Semitic Vichy regulations that left them unemployed homeless and subject to forced labor and deportation to labor camps. Nevertheless they fought for the Allies and assisted the Americans and the British in the invasion of North Africa. These men and women were community leaders and average people who despite their dire economic circumstances worked with the refugees attempting to escape the Nazis via North Africa Turkey or Iran and connected with international aid agencies during and after the war. By 1945 no Jewish community had been left untouched and many were financially decimated a situation that would have serious repercussions on the future of Jews in the region. Covering the entire Middle East and North Africa region this book on World War II is a key resource for students scholars and general readers interested in Jewish history World War II and Middle East history. | The Jews of the Middle East and North Africa The Impact of World War II

Speed-Based Target Profit Planning and Developing Synchronous Profitable Operations

Speed-Based Target Profit Planning and Developing Synchronous Profitable Operations

Profitable production planning is and will remain an eternal challenge to ensuring the prosperity and dignity of companies in a global market. Even though there are different approaches to achieving the target profitability through productivity in the production planning stage these approaches do not guarantee consistent planning creation and sustenance of synchronous profitable operations for multiannual and annual target profit. In feedback to this predicament Alin Posteucă develops a new system called speed-based target profit (SBTP). SBTP is the profitable production management and manufacturing improvement system that approaches production planning to achieve unit speed of target profit for target products through manufacturing cost improvement and bottleneck profitability control for maximum takt time. Managers and practitioners within manufacturing companies will discover a practical approach for cost down and cash up by applying a powerful operational profitable production planning formula to meet profitability expectations through productivity based on strong leadership with the help of a specific system for feedforward concurrent and feedback control. Therefore the SBTP system in this book presents a holistic approach to profitability for target products and the development of its own mechanism since the acceptance of each order from customers to achieve continuous synchronization of all manufacturing processes to market requirements profitability management and profitable production planning. The uniqueness of the book is reinforced by a detailed presentation of the successful application of the SBTP system in two case studies as a way of life and a unit speed of target profit improvement ethos at all hierarchical levels in two multinational manufacturing companies operating in highly competitive markets in order to address the synchronous profitable operations for both the sales increase scenario and the sales decrease scenario. By adopting the SBTP system your company will be able to consistently achieve unit speed of target profit in the bottleneck process for fulfilling annual and multiannual target profit as a unique and effective way through a new profitable production planning paradigm that operates according to its own production system. | Speed-Based Target Profit Planning and Developing Synchronous Profitable Operations
