Strategic human resource management (SHRM), as a crucial foundation for the survival and development of a firm, linking human resource management with a firm's strategic objectives to achieve sustainable competitive advantage. Numerous studies and practices have proven that the implementation of SHRM is conducive to acquiring core competitiveness and boosting competitive advantage. In response to the changes that are taking place in HRM practi...

To comprehend the world around us, we first have to decipher how our brains work. This book outlines a new approach to knowledge and understanding based on the elucidation of several basic neuronal mechanisms.This book explores the crucial fact that unconscious processes and conscious experiences form a continuum, which introduces the concept of 'rerepresentations'. Examples of rerepresentations can be seen in language, mathematics, technology...

Trauma is a serious public health problem worldwide and is the leading cause of death among adults and children. Physiotherapists play a key role in the interdisciplinary team caring for patients with physical injury after a traumatic event. The aim of Cardiopulmonary Physiotherapy in Trauma: An Evidence-based Approach is to encourage quality evidence-based physiotherapy management of adult and paediatric survivors of trauma in an acute care s...

Asia is not only the largest producer of important food items like rice and vegetable oil, but also the largest importer of commodities like soybeans and corn. Additionally, more than half the world's population lives in Asia and thus the largest number of food insecure people are also in Asia. Food security is therefore a matter of paramount importance in Asia.This is the only book of its kind that will explore the range of important issues a...

Corresponding to the link of Itô's stochastic differential equations (SDEs) and linear parabolic equations, distribution dependent SDEs (DDSDEs) characterize nonlinear Fokker-Planck equations. This type of SDEs is named after McKean-Vlasov due to the pioneering work of H P McKean (1966), where an expectation dependent SDE is proposed to characterize nonlinear PDEs for Maxwellian gas. Moreover, by using the propagation of chaos for Kac particle...

High-order harmonic generation (HHG) in solids, the nonlinear upconversion of coherent radiation resulting from the interaction of a strong and short laser pulse with bulk matter, has come of age. Since the seminal experiments and theoretical developments, there has been a constant and vibrant interest in this topic. In this book, we invite experimental and theoretical experts in the field with the aim to summarize the progress made so far and...

What is our universe made of? How did it get here, and how will it end? Why are many scientists currently so excited about these questions? And why is everybody else so scared of the one subject -- physics -- that promises to give us all the answers?This book is here to help. Its main aim is to explain a remarkable new idea that has arisen in recent years, that tells us all of our current theories of nature are much more closely related than p...

The global cost of corrosion was said to be two and a half trillion dollars or 3.4% of global GDP in 2013. Electrochemistry as a discipline is of even greater relevance ten years on, in view of the world's desperate attempts to prevent catastrophic climate change by moving from fossil fuel to 'e-mobility' among other measures. This means that even if electrochemistry in all its mysteries and complexity was the domain of the physical chemist al...

Our current understanding of nature is in terms of matter that is acted on by forces. There are four fundamental forces, of which three are described by so-called gauge theories, a type of Quantum Field Theory. The fourth force, gravity, is best described by General Relativity, and our traditional ways of thinking about gauge theories and gravity look completely different from each other.In recent years, an exciting new correspondence called t...

This book is intended as a tool for undergraduate students, building upon the first edition of Problems of Instrumental Analytical Chemistry with new, updated detailed content.As European Universities converged to the EEES Bologna space, the time available for theoretical and practical lessons at the classroom has reduced dramatically. The fundamental principles and basic theory of Analytical Chemistry are covered by many wonderful textbooks, ...

School feeding is the world's most extensive safety net, with nearly one in two primary school children receiving a subsidized meal every school day. Over the last decade the coverage has doubled in Africa to 65.9 million school children, with the fastest rate of growth in Nigeria, up from 1.05 million in 2017 to 9.9 million in 2022. Nigeria has created the largest school meals program south of the Sahara by designing-in four key principles: t...

Since the appearance of COVID-19 at the beginning of 2020, the pandemic has undeniably wreaked havoc on global trade, profoundly affecting people's lives and having a significant impact on economic growth worldwide. Many people regard COVID-19 as "the fury of nature." However, there are still ongoing critical problems facing the world that have not cooled down even in the context of the pandemic, one of which is climate change. The recent unus...

Why is 2 times 3 equal to 3 times 2? One may think this is an axiom, but it has a proof, and a beautiful one at that. Elementary mathematics is as deep and as beautiful as higher mathematics. It includes some of the most important mathematical discoveries ever, for example the concept of the number, and the place-value method of representing numbers. We are so accustomed to this method, that we forget how clever and beautiful it is -- resultin...

This book presents a set of low-cost physics experiments, making use of the new technologies available (data collection and analysis systems by computers, Internet, video, commercial electronics, smartphones, etc.), while highlighting the methodological aspects of physics and science in general. The projects are aimed at university students of science and engineering, although some may be used in high schools.The experiments would enable stude...
