A comprehensive presentation of cross-cultural crisis negotiation principles and strategies, this book relates established communication models to the practical knowledge and experience of crisis negotiators across international organisations and contexts.Early chapters discuss prominent communication theories and discourse analysis models used to analyse interaction in crisis negotiation case studies. A central theme is the practice of "active listening", highlighting the crucial role of active listening in building rapport. Rapport is a communicational concept deemed essential to successful negotiations but is seldom defined. This book expands upon this concept in depth, providing relevant communication theories that can be applied to understanding the interactional processes in successful crisis negotiations. By presenting perspectives on crisis negotiation by scholars and practitioners engaged in vastly differing contexts, it is a robust guide to developing constructive crisis negotiation strategies in cross-cultural and cross-linguistic situations.An essential read for students and practitioners in crisis negotiation who find themselves working in increasingly cross-linguistic and cross-cultural scenarios.

This edited book is about the rationale, practice and classroom implementation of English-medium instruction courses in Chinese universities. It specifically focuses on classroom discourse analysis across different disciplines and settings. The main themes of this book are: describing the state educational policies toward English-medium instruction at the tertiary level; distinguishing English-medium instruction from mainstream foreign language learning; analyzing curricula and discourse at the classroom level and evaluating the learning effectiveness of these courses. This book covers the widespread implementation of English-medium courses in China across different disciplines, and it provides a window for researchers and practitioners from other parts of the world to see the curriculum design, lesson planning, discourse features and teacher-student interaction in English-medium classrooms in China. Contributors to this volume consists of a panel of highly respected researchers in the fields of bilingual education, English-medium instruction, classroom discourse analysis and language program evaluation.Chapters include, Balance of Content and Language in English-Medium Instruction Classrooms English-Medium Instruction in a Math Classroom: An Observation Study of Classroom Discourse Asking and answering questions in EMI classrooms: What is the Cognitive and Syntactic Complexity Level?

Proteins are an important nutrient and ingredient in food as well as in nutritional supplements. The application and take up of food proteins, especially plant proteins, has been limited due to their undesirable sensory properties, e.g. taste, odour, and chalky mouth feel. This will need to change if the availability of meat protein becomes scarcer.Documenting the latest research, this book is the first overview of the recent advances in flavour research of food proteins, with an emphasis on the major plant proteins, e.g. soy and pulse proteins. The topics to be covered include sensory and instrumental characterization of flavour compounds in food proteins, how flavour profiles in food proteins can be formed or altered, research advances of individual food proteins, the use of food protein products as flavouring ingredients, and future trends of flavouring food proteins.There is a growing interest in using plant proteins in food formulation and industrial applications, but no book has yet covered this systematically until now. Summarizing research advances in consumer studies and flavour chemistry that focus on food proteins, the book will discuss the flavour properties and problems in each major and novel food protein source for the academic and industry market.

This book deals with the simulation of the mechanical behavior of engineering structures, mechanisms and components.  It presents a set of strategies and tools for formulating the mathematical equations and the methods of solving them using MATLAB. For the same mechanical systems, it also shows how to obtain solutions using a different approaches.  It then compares the results obtained with the two methods. By combining fundamentals of kinematics and dynamics of  mechanisms with applications and different solutions in MATLAB  of  problems related to gears, cams, and multilink mechanisms, and by presenting the concepts in an accessible manner, this book is intended to assist advanced undergraduate and mechanical engineering graduate students in solving various kinds of dynamical problems by using  methods in MATLAB. It also offers a comprehensive, practice-oriented guide to mechanical engineers dealing with kinematics and dynamics of several mechanical systems.

Emil Lask (1875-1915) ist neben Wilhelm Windelband (1848-1918) und Heinrich Rickert (1863-1936) einer der maßgeblichen Vertreter des philosophischen Neukantianismus der sog. südwestdeutschen Prägung. Der Neukantianismus war um die Wende vom 19. zum 20. Jahrhundert eine der führenden Universitätsphilosophien. Er wirkte in vielerlei Hinsicht über die Philosophie hinaus auf andere Bereiche wie die Rechtswissenschaft, Literaturwissenschaft, Kunstgeschichte und Pädagogik. So haben etwa Max Webers Verstehende Soziologie, Georg Jellineks Staatslehre, Georg Lukács' Ästhetik, die Rechtsphilosophie Gustav Radbruchs und die Rechtstheorie Hans Kelsens maßgebliche Impulse vom Neukantianismus empfangen sowie umgekehrt dem Neukantianismus Gestalt verliehen. Die Edition versammelt die gesamte erhaltene wissenschaftliche Korrespondenz Emil Lasks. Im Mittelpunkt steht dabei der intensive fachliche Austausch mit Heinrich Rickert, dem akademischen Lehrer Lasks. Dabei ermöglicht die Edition, die Entwicklung des Lask'schen Denkens jenseits seiner wenigen Veröffentlichungen nachzuvollziehen, und es wird deutlich, inwiefern Lask sich, etwa im Wege einer Hinwendung zur Phänomenologie Edmund Husserls, vom Neukantianismus entfernte. Zugleich offenbart der Briefwechsel eine Vielzahl von Einblicken in die universitäre Landschaft des frühen 20. Jahrhunderts.

This book builds an easy-to-understand rural school curriculum interpretation framework and operational ideas, based on the policy foundation and practical experience of basic education curriculum reform. It draws on classic curriculum theoretical models, and serves as a practical reference book for readers interested in curriculum theories and practical operation.This book addresses questions around the topics of curriculum tasks of rural schools, how to formulate curriculum planning to complete rural school curriculum tasks creatively, how course implementation works, and how to conduct both course evaluation and course management. It adheres to the ideological concept of the unity of knowledge and action and helps to promote the internal and external response of the rural school curriculum in terms of theoretical understanding and practical operation.
