Linear Optimization for Business Theory and practical application

Linear Optimization for Business Theory and practical application

This book takes a unique approach to linear optimization by focusing on the underlying principles and business applications of a topic more often taught from a mathematical and computational perspective. By shifting the perspective away from heavy math students learn how optimization can be used to drive decision making in real world business settings. The book does not shy away from the theory underlying linear optimization but rather focuses on ensuring students understand the logic without getting caught up in proving theorems. Plenty of examples applications and case studies are included to help bridge the gap between the theory and the way it plays out in practice. The author has also included several Excel spreadsheets showing worked-out models of linear optimization that have been used to drive decisions ranging from configuring a police force to purchasing crude oil and media planning. How can the routes and pricing structures of airlines be optimized? How much should be invested in the prevention and punishment of crimes? These are everyday problems that can be solved using linear optimization and this book shows students just how to do that. It will prove a useful math-free resource for all students of management science and operations research. | Linear Optimization for Business Theory and practical application

Risk Management in Supply Chains Using Linear and Non-linear Models

Risk Management in Supply Chains Using Linear and Non-linear Models

The book examines a relatively unexplored issue in supply chain risk management which is how long companies specifically take to respond to catastrophic events of low probability but high impact. The book also looks at why such supply chain disruptions are unavoidable and consequently all complex supply chains are inherently at risk. The book illustrates how companies can respond to supply chain disruptions with faster responses and in shorter lead-times to reduce impact. In reducing total response time designing solutions and deploying a recovery plan sooner after a disruption in anticipation of such events companies reduce the impact of disruption risk. The book also explores the basics of multiple-criteria decision-making (MCDM) and analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and how they contribute to both the quality of the financial economic decision-making process and the quality of the resulting decisions. The book illustrates through cases in the construction sector how this industry has become more complex and riskier due to the diverse nature of activities among global companies. | Risk Management in Supply Chains Using Linear and Non-linear Models

Women in Mycenaean Greece The Linear B Tablets from Pylos and Knossos

Women in Mycenaean Greece The Linear B Tablets from Pylos and Knossos

Women in Mycenaean Greece is the first book-length study of women in the Linear B tablets from Mycenaean Greece and the only to collect and compile all the references to women in the documents of the two best attested sites of Late Bronze Age Greece - Pylos on the Greek mainland and Knossos on the island of Crete. The book offers a systematic analysis of women’s tasks holdings and social and economic status in the Linear B tablets dating from the 14th and 13th centuries BCE identifying how Mycenaean women functioned in the economic institutions where they were best attested - production property control land tenure and cult. Analysing all references to women in the Mycenaean documents the book focuses on the ways in which the economic institutions of these Bronze Age palace states were gendered and effectively extends the framework for the study of women in Greek antiquity back more than 400 years. Throughout the book seeks to establish whether gender practices were uniform in the Mycenaean states or differed from site to site and to gauge the relationship of the roles and status of Mycenaean women to their Archaic and Classical counterparts to test if the often-proposed theories of a more egalitarian Bronze Age accurately reflect the textual evidence. The Linear B tablets offer a unique if under-utilized point of entry into women’s history in ancient Greece documenting nearly 2000 women performing over fifty task assignments. From their decipherment in 1952 one major gap in the scholarly record remained: a full accounting of the women who inhabited the palace states and their tasks ranks and economic contributions. Women in Mycenaean Greece fills that gap recovering how class rank and other social markers created status hierarchies among women how women as a group functioned relative to men and where different localities conformed or diverged in their gender practices. | Women in Mycenaean Greece The Linear B Tablets from Pylos and Knossos

Psychoanalysis Neuroscience and Adolescent Development Non-Linear Perspectives on the Regulation of the Self

Psychoanalysis Neuroscience and Adolescent Development Non-Linear Perspectives on the Regulation of the Self

Psychoanalysis Neuroscience and Adolescent Development: Non-Linear Perspectives on the Regulation of the Self explores how psychoanalysis can combine its theoretical perspectives with more recent discoveries about neurological and non-linear developmental processes that unfold during the period of puberty to young adulthood to help inform understanding of contemporary adolescent behaviours and mental health issues. With the powerful impact of neuroscience research findings opportunities emerge to create a new paradigm to attempt to organize specific psychoanalytic theories. Neurobiological regulation offers such an opportunity. By combining elements of domains of compatible knowledge into a flexible explanatory synergy the potential for an intellectually satisfying theoretical framework can be created. In this work Harold Bendicsen formulates a multi-disciplinary theoretical approach involving current research and drawing on neuroscience to consider the behaviour regulation processes of the mind/brain and the capacities and potential it brings to understanding the development of adolescents and young adults. Psychoanalysis Neuroscience and Adolescent Development advances Bendicsen’s study of adolescence and the transition to young adulthood begun in The Transformational Self. It will be of great interest to psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic psychotherapists as well as psychologists clinical social workers psychiatrists and counsellors. | Psychoanalysis Neuroscience and Adolescent Development Non-Linear Perspectives on the Regulation of the Self

Applied Regression Analysis Doing Interpreting and Reporting

Applied Regression Analysis Doing Interpreting and Reporting

This book is an introduction to regression analysis focusing on the practicalities of doing regression analysis on real-life data. Contrary to other textbooks on regression this book is based on the idea that you do not necessarily need to know much about statistics and mathematics to get a firm grip on regression and perform it to perfection. This non-technical point of departure is complemented by practical examples of real-life data analysis using statistics software such as Stata R and SPSS. Parts 1 and 2 of the book cover the basics such as simple linear regression multiple linear regression how to interpret the output from statistics programs significance testing and the key regression assumptions. Part 3 deals with how to practically handle violations of the classical linear regression assumptions regression modeling for categorical y-variables and instrumental variable (IV) regression. Part 4 puts the various purposes of or motivations for regression into the wider context of writing a scholarly report and points to some extensions to related statistical techniques. This book is written primarily for those who need to do regression analysis in practice and not only to understand how this method works in theory. The book’s accessible approach is recommended for students from across the social sciences. | Applied Regression Analysis Doing Interpreting and Reporting

Data Analysis A Model Comparison Approach To Regression ANOVA and Beyond Third Edition

Data Analysis A Model Comparison Approach To Regression ANOVA and Beyond Third Edition

Data Analysis: A Model Comparison Approach to Regression ANOVA and Beyond is an integrated treatment of data analysis for the social and behavioral sciences. It covers all of the statistical models normally used in such analyses such as multiple regression and analysis of variance but it does so in an integrated manner that relies on the comparison of models of data estimated under the rubric of the general linear model. Data Analysis also describes how the model comparison approach and uniform framework can be applied to models that include product predictors (i. e. interactions and nonlinear effects) and to observations that are nonindependent. Indeed the analysis of nonindependent observations is treated in some detail including models of nonindependent data with continuously varying predictors as well as standard repeated measures analysis of variance. This approach also provides an integrated introduction to multilevel or hierarchical linear models and logistic regression. Finally Data Analysis provides guidance for the treatment of outliers and other problematic aspects of data analysis. It is intended for advanced undergraduate and graduate level courses in data analysis and offers an integrated approach that is very accessible and easy to teach. Highlights of the third edition include: a new chapter on logistic regression; expanded treatment of mixed models for data with multiple random factors; updated examples; an enhanced website with PowerPoint presentations and other tools that demonstrate the concepts in the book; exercises for each chapter that highlight research findings from the literature; data sets R code and SAS output for all analyses; additional examples and problem sets; and test questions. | Data Analysis A Model Comparison Approach To Regression ANOVA and Beyond Third Edition

Early Medieval Venice Cultural Memory and History

Early Medieval Venice Cultural Memory and History

Early Medieval Venice examines the significant changes that Venice underwent between the late-sixth and the early-eleventh centuries. From the periphery of the Byzantine Empire Venice acquired complete independence and emerged as the major power in the Adriatic area. It also avoided absorption by neighbouring rulers prevented serious destruction by raiders and achieved a stable state organization all the while progressively extending its trading activities to most of northern Italy and the eastern Mediterranean. This was not a linear process but the Venetians obtained and defended these results with great tenacity creating the foundations for the remarkable developments of the following centuries. This book presents the most relevant themes that characterized Venice during this epoch including war violence and the manner in which ‘others’ were perceived. It examines how early medieval authors and modern scholars have portrayed this period and how they were sometimes influenced by their own ‘present’ in their reconstruction of the past. | Early Medieval Venice Cultural Memory and History

Sociology of World Heritage An Asian Perspective

Sociology of World Heritage An Asian Perspective

Taking mainly Japanese and other Asian case studies as examples Ogino examines the motivations behind the preservation of objects and sites considered to be of cultural significance. Using mainly the perspectives of Japanese approaches to cultural heritage the book critiques the European logic of cultural heritage enshrined by UNESCO. It contrasts a Western emphasis on monuments and sites with an Asian emphasis on more intangible forms of heritage which place less emphasis on a linear view of time. More practically the authors also analyse the positive and negative impacts that UNESCO-listed status has had on sites in Asia including Angkor Wat Nagasaki and Lijiang. Finally they address fundamental questions about who gets to decide what counts as cultural heritage and what the underlying rationale is for actively preserving heritage in the first place. This books is a thoughtful and provocative analysis of issues that will be of interest to sociologists as well as scholars and students of cultural heritage. | Sociology of World Heritage An Asian Perspective

Entropy of Mind and Negative Entropy A Cognitive and Complex Approach to Schizophrenia and its Therapy

Entropy of Mind and Negative Entropy A Cognitive and Complex Approach to Schizophrenia and its Therapy

Schizophrenia is the central problem in the sciences of the mind not only for its etiological psychopathological and clinical aspects but also because of its implications for therapy and rehabilitation. In this volume the author describes a series of new scientific and clinical perspectives for schizophrenia influenced by cognitivist and constructivist approaches and informed by the logic of complexity and non-linear dynamic systems. The author delineates a new complex theory of the brain and a procedural theory of the mind founded on the concept of the modular brain and the coalitional mind. Subsequently the author develops a multi-factorial conceptualization of the etiological dynamic and an original complex and evolutionary perspective concerning the psychotic condition which has been redefined in this case as Entropy of the Mind or Phrenentropy. In conclusion the author illustrates an innovative integrated protocol denominated Negative Entropy for the treatment and rehabilitation of patients with schizophrenia. | Entropy of Mind and Negative Entropy A Cognitive and Complex Approach to Schizophrenia and its Therapy

Historically Responsive Storytelling How Contemporary Western Theatre is Rediscovering its Roots

Historically Responsive Storytelling How Contemporary Western Theatre is Rediscovering its Roots

This book explores the notion that the emergent language of contemporary theatre and more generally of modern culture has links to much earlier forms of storytelling and an ancient worldview. This volume looks at our diverse and amalgamative theatrical inheritance and discusses various practitioners and companies whose work reflects and recapitulates ideas approaches and structures original to theatre’s ritual roots. Drawing together a range of topics and examples from the early Middle Ages to the modern day Chadwick focuses on a theatrical language which includes an emphasis on the psychosomatic the non-linear the symbolic the liminal the collective and the sacred. This interdisciplinary work draws on approaches from the fields of anthropology philosophy historical and cognitive phenomenology and neuroscience making the case for the significance of historically responsive modes in theatre practice and more widely in our society and culture. | Historically Responsive Storytelling How Contemporary Western Theatre is Rediscovering its Roots
