Taschenbuch. Zustand: 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. Zustand: 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. Zustand: 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. Zustand: 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. Zustand: 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.…
