15. Internationales Stuttgarter Symposium: Automobil- und Motorentechnik (Proceedings)

by Michael Bargende Hans-Christian Reuss Jochen Wiedemann

Das Mobilitätsverhalten in unserer Gesellschaft wandelt sich und mit ihm die Anforderungen an das Kraftfahrzeug. In Zeiten von Klimawandel durch steigende Luftverschmutzung, Verknappung und Verteuerung fossiler Energien aber auch zunehmender Digitalisierung verändern sich die aktuellen Fahrzeugkonzepte und entwickeln sich weiter. Das Auto der Zukunft muss sparsam, umweltfreundlich, sicher, komfortabel, digital vernetzt und automatisiert sein. Gleichzeitig soll es das Bedürfnis nach Individualität erfüllen, den Fahrer emotional ansprechen und so den Reiz erzeugen, das Fahrzeug sein Eigen nennen zu wollen. Dies ist ein Balanceakt, der die Automobilindustrie vor sehr große Herausforderungen stellt.

You'll discover how the Sun works (including what it sounds like), the latest research in solar physics and how a solar storm could threaten everything we know. And you'll meet the groundbreaking scientists, including the author, who pieced this extraordinary story together.

The 15 Minute Case Conceptualization: Mastering the Pattern-Focused Approach

by Jonathan Sperry Len Sperry

Once understood as useful but optional, case conceptualization is now considered essential and one of the most important of all clinical skills and competencies. As clinicians look for resources to assist in learning and mastering this competency, they must choose among different case conceptualization approaches considering those that are both clinically effective and clinician friendly. A truly clinically effective approach explains and guides treatment, and most importantly, predicts challenges and obstacles that are likely to arise over the course of treatment. Most approaches emphasize explaning and guiding treatment, but seldom include third function which helps anticipate likely challenges, which if not proactively addressed, are likely to result in therapy interference or premature termination. Research shows that such case conceptualization is essential in determining the course and overall effectiveness of therapy. This essential task can be completed in as little as fifteen minutes. A truly clinician-friendly approach is one that is quick to use and easy to master. The 15 Minutes Case Conceptualization is evidence-based, step-by-step approach that is both highly effective and clinician friendly.

The 15 Minute City: Global Change Through Local Living

by Natalie Whittle

15-minute city, noun: ‘a city that is designed so that everyone who lives there can reach everything they need within 15 minutes on foot or by bike’ Cities define the lives of all those who call them home: where they go, how they get there, how they spend their time. But what if we structured the way we live in our cities differently? What if we travelled differently? What if we could get back the time we would have spent commuting and make it our own? In this carefully researched and readily accessible book, Natalie Whittle interrogates the notion of the 15-minute city: its pros, its cons and its potential to revolutionise modern living. With global warming at crisis point and Covid-19 responses bringing a previously unimaginable decline in commuting, Whittle’s timely book serves as a call to reflect on the ‘hows’ and ‘whys’ of how we live our lives. Building her study around consideration of space and time, Whittle traverses both to collect models from ancient Athens to modern Paris and demonstrate how one idea could change our daily lives – and the world – for good.

The practical, problem-solving element of each activity offers a great way for children to develop important soft skills such as creativity, critical thinking and spatial awareness. Accompanying instructions are framed and phrased in a way that encourages the children to lead the learning and exploration – allowing the supervising adult to take a more hands-off, facilitative approach – and opportunities for further investigation are provided in order to broaden the learning focus and extend the tasks beyond 15 minutes. Hand-drawn illustrations and full colour photographs are also included alongside each activity to give an idea of what the end results might look like. Suitable for both teachers and parents. Activities include: Arctic Engineering: Why are igloos built in a dome shape? Fireworks in a Jar: What happens when we mix fluids of different densities?
