Auch als padagogisches Thema sind Krisendiskurse keineswegs ein Novum, gegenwartig scheint es angebracht, aktuelle Krisendiskurse zum Gegenstand kritisch-padagogischer Reflexion zu machen. Das Jahrbuch soll zur Reflexion und Diskussion massgeblicher aktueller Krisenwahrnehmungen und deren faktischer und potentieller padagogischer Bedeutung beitragen. Dazu werden zunachst in einem ersten Themenblock Krisendiskurse und (ausgebliebene) gesellschaftliche Lernprozesse besprochen. Ein zweiter Block fragt, ob man von einer Krise oder der Zerstorung der Padagogik sprechen sollte. Weitere Themen sind Krisen in Bildungssystemen und Bildungskonzepte im Kontext von -Krise und Kritik-. Zudem enthalt der Band einen Ruckblick auf 20 Jahre "Jahrbuch fur Padagogik "und 25 Jahre "Oedelsheimer Kreis.""

The book addresses the crucial role of coding in computer and data communications while simplifying the complex mathematics often associated with it. By focusing on practical understanding, it aims to make the concepts of coding more accessible, enabling readers to grasp its significance without getting bogged down by heavy mathematical theories.

The book highlights a variety of lesser-known data compression codes that possess unique and beneficial properties, such as specific bit patterns and robustness. Aimed at professionals and students in computer science, it seeks to broaden the understanding of these alternative coding methods beyond the commonly used Huffman and Golomb codes, showcasing their potential applications and advantages in the field of data compression.

Anyone with a computer has heard of viruses, had to deal with several, and has been struggling with spam, spyware, and disk crashes. This book is intended as a starting point for those familiar with basic concepts of computers and computations and who would like to extend their knowledge into the realm of computer and network security. Its comprehensive treatment of all the major areas of computer security aims to give readers a complete foundation in the field of Computer Security. Exercises are given throughout the book and are intended to strengthening the reader’s knowledge - answers are also provided. Written in a clear, easy to understand style, aimed towards advanced undergraduates and non-experts who want to know about the security problems confronting them everyday. The technical level of the book is low and requires no mathematics, and only a basic concept of computers and computations. Foundations of Computer Security will be an invaluable tool for students and professionals alike.

"This new edition of Data Compression provides a comprehensive reference for the many different types and methods of compression. Included are a detailed and helpful taxonomy, a description of most common methods, and discussions on the use and comparative benefits of methods and descriptions of "how to" use them. The presentation is organized into the main branches of the field of data compression: run length encoding, statistical methods, dictionary-based methods, image compression, audio compression, and video compression." "The book provides an invaluable reference and guide for all computer scientists, computer engineers, electrical engineers, signal/image processing engineers, and other scientists needing a comprehensive compilation for a broad range of compression methods."--BOOK JACKET.

Focusing on data compression, this book provides a clear and concise foundation for key topics in the field. It is designed as a practical reference for advanced undergraduates in computer science, ensuring accessibility with minimal mathematical requirements.
