<em>No-Drama Project Management: Avoiding Predictable Problems for Project Success</em> is a book for project managers who want or need to be more effective. Having a project crash and burn is never a great situation, author <strong>Bart Gerardi</strong> explains, but it’s not a career buster—unless the failure appears on the short list of recurring, avoidable problems that can and will pop up during any project. If your project fails due to a lack of planning, for example, expect a trip to the woodshed. Why? Your “unexpected problem” was actually both predictable and avoidable. <p> </p> <p> This book is an exploration of the preventable problems that cause project failures and how to steer clear of them. It includes far more than simple rookie mistakes like trying to please the wrong stakeholder or misunderstanding your role on the team. Those who have been around the block a few times will also find tips and insights that can help them reignite a stalled or meandering career. The sections on managing change adroitly or handling truly unexpected challenges, for example, can get veteran project managers back on track. </p> <p> </p> <p> There are plenty of books about the <em>science </em>of project management that cover such things as creating a work-breakdown structure or a Gantt chart. <em>No-Drama Project Management</em> is about the <em>art</em> of project management. It contains methods and techniques—illustrated with stories from Gerardi’s rich store of experiences—that’ll help project managers shine and become promotable. This book: </p> <p> </p> <ul> <li>Describes the common obstacles that all projects face, and how to defuse or avoid them </li> <li>Explains how project managers can hold a mirror to their own  performance and improve it </li> <li>Shows project managers how to become masters at expecting the unexpected and thereby ratcheting up their success rates </li> </ul>

<div> This book explores the incorporation of plasmonic nanostructures into organic solar cells, which offers an attractive light trapping and absorption approach to enhance power conversion efficiencies. The authors review the latest advances in the field and discuss the characterization of these hybrid devices using a combination of optical and electrical probes.  </div> <div> <br> </div> <div> Transient optical spectroscopies such as transient absorption and transient photoluminescence spectroscopy offer powerful tools for observing charge carrier dynamics in plasmonic organic solar cells. In conjunction with device electrical characterizations, they provide unambiguous proof of the effect of the plasmonic nanostructures on the solar cells’ performance.  </div> <div> <br> </div> <div> However, there have been a number of controversies over the effects of such integration – where both enhanced and decreased performance have been reported. Importantly, the new insights into the photophysics and charge dynamics of plasmonic organic solar cells that these spectroscopy methods yield could be used to resolve these controversies and provide clear guidelines for device design and fabrication. </div>

Ist die Kategorie des Dramatischen ein ästhetisches Auslaufmodell? Warum ist das Theater ein Ort für Texte? Wie lässt sich das Verhältnis von Text und Theater neu bestimmen? Lassen sich Sprachräume betreten? Wie bewegen sich Texte in Installationen? Dieses Buch stellt die Frage nach der Performance des Werkbegriffs, womit zugleich die (post-)dramatischen Schreib- und Aufführungsstrategien reflektiert werden sollen. Wie wird in den ästhetischen Schnitträumen von (Musik-)Theater, Performance und Film Wirklichkeit erzeugt? Die Dramatisierung der Wahrnehmung, so eine der zentralen Thesen, führt zu expandierenden Erfahrungsräumen, die mit ihrer programmatischen Ästhetik der (Ver-)Störungen nur in Form von theoretisch und künstlerisch verdichteten Spielkonstellationen gelesen werden können.

<p>By itself or in combination with an affective disorder, early onset schizophrenia (EOS) — the onset of symptoms before 18 years of age — can create severe deficits in young people’s academic performance, family and peer relationships, and even the ability to acquire new skills. The relative rarity of the condition, meanwhile, can leave school personnel unsure of how to meet — or even recognize — student needs.</p> <p><i>Identifying, Assessing, and Treating Early Onset Schizophrenia at School</i> emphasizes the importance of providing teachers and students alike with the support needed to enhance academic performance and improve social skills of children and adolescents with EOS within educational settings. In addition, its evidence-based framework enables school professionals to achieve greater confidence and accuracy in identifying students with EOS and provide appropriate services, both in special education and general classes.</p> <p>In this authoritative and accessible volume, experts offer the most salient information on early onset schizophrenia, including:</p> <ul> <li>Contributing factors and risk factors.</li> <li>Prevalence and epidemiology.</li> <li>Screening and assessment procedures.</li> <li>Guidelines for determining eligibility for special education programs under IDEIA and Section 504.</li> <li>Latest findings on school-based and off-campus interventions for EOS.</li> <li>A useful resource appendix.</li> </ul> <p><i>Identifying, Assessing, and Treating Early Onset Schizophrenia at School</i> gives school psychologists and allied education professionals both a practical understanding of this disabling condition and the most up-to-date strategies for providing earlier and effective interventions.</p>

In a globalized market where the emerging workforce will increasingly travel within their nations and abroad for work opportunities, it is valuable to learn about the international education system and practices, to assess the competition. For example, annual comparison of student performance is measured across math and science subjects globally. What is not well known is how geography educational systems compare around the world and how student success in this subject translates to learning in other courses or employment after graduation. The importance of geography in our personal, professional, and civic lives is transparent when one considers how finding one’s way with a map, understanding of world cultures, or identifying spatial patterns of disease spread might influence the decisions we make. Written for a global audience, this is the first English publication on geography education in Japan, addressing some fundamental questions. What is the nature of the geography educational systems in Japan? How does the focus on content and skills in Japanese schools differ from that in other countries? This book includes 25 authors from diverse geography instruction and research experiences, making it an authoritative publication on Japan’s geography education system. The contribution of this book to the larger geography educational community is sharing the key strengths, concerns, and future of this school subject in English, where previously most publications were in Japanese. It will be a useful source for researchers and teachers to understand Japan’s evolving geography instruction in the past, present, and future. The 21 chapters are organized into themes, beginning with an overview of the geography education system in Japan, followed by chapters that deal with regional geography and fieldwork, teacher training, geography education’s contributions to society, and a comparative study of geography education across multiple countries. The book ends with a vision of geography education in the future.
