Autor: José Antonio Sánchez

Número de Páginas: 248

El objetivo principal de este libro es ayudar a todas aquellas personas que estén interesadas en empezar a mejorar su calidad de vida a través del entrenamiento. Existen muchas razones por las que las personas deciden empezar a entrenar, pero principalmente lo hacen para mejorar su apariencia física y sentirse más atractivas, más allá de los beneficios para la salud. No obstante, el ejercicio ayuda a controlar el peso y reducir grasa, previene el riesgo de enfermedades cardiovasculares y diabetes. Además, fortalece los músculos y huesos, ayuda a reducir el estrés y la ansiedad, y mejora el bienestar mental. Hasta aquí, todos lo tenemos claro. Pero el problema surge al apuntarnos al gimnasio por primera vez o si decidimos salir a la calle para empezar a entrenar; esto puede resultar una experiencia desconcertante. Enfrentarnos a una sala repleta de máquinas y equipos desconocidos, unido a la falta de orientación sobre cuántas series o repeticiones realizar y la cantidad de carga que hay que levantar, puede generar frustración e inseguridad. Del mismo modo, el temor a las agujetas de los primeros días y a posibles lesiones son obstáculos muy comunes que la mayoría...

The Agile Imperative

Autor: Sabine Pfeiffer , Manuel Nicklich , Stefan Sauer

Número de Páginas: 264

In an ever-changing working environment, customer and workplace demands have brought new challenges to how we organize and manage work. Increasingly, this is addressed by the idea of 'agility.' From its beginning, agile work has claimed to be a radically different approach which allows organisations to react flexibly to changing environmental demands whilst also offering a ‘people' centered approach to management. While the literature often examines agile instruments from a business perspective, this edited collection advances the discussion of the efficacy of agile working, by applying a more critical social science perspective.The chapters scrutinize whether agility is just a discursive imperative, or whether it is in fact a genuine organizational and institutional strategy that is meant to better deal with complexity and volatility. The answers to these questions can vary at different levels, and the editors therefore examine agility at the level of teams, organizations and societies. By assembling different perspectives on the sustainability and virtue of agile instruments, and by bringing together international scholars from a variety of disciplines, the project stimulates...

The Agile London System

Autor: Alfonso Romero Holmes , Oscar De Prado

Número de Páginas: 335

It is not difficult to understand why The London System is such a popular chess opening with club players all over the world. Against virtually every Black defence after 1.d4 it offers White an easy-to-learn and reliable set of lines with interesting choices between strategic or more aggressive approaches, while avoiding tons of opening theory. Lately an increasing number of Grandmasters such as Alexander Grischuk, Gata Kamsky, Baadur Jobava, Richard Rapport and even World Champion Magnus Carlsen have played The London System. In this light it is surprising that so little has been published about this fascinating universal weapon. GM Alfonso Romero and FM Oscar de Prado have now filled this gap. In The Agile London System they present both historical material and recent top-level examples to provide a comprehensive overview. The authors explain the typical plans and tactics using illustrative games with clear verbal explanations, and provide lots of tactical and strategic exercises. They reveal the secrets behind sharp ideas such as the Barry Attack and the Jobava Attack and have added an exciting chapter on the especially aggressive Pereyra Attack, developed by the Argentinean...

Sacralizing the Nation through Remembrance of Medieval Religious Figures in Serbia, Bulgaria and Macedonia

Autor: Stefan Rohdewald

Número de Páginas: 495

Religious figures of remembrance served to consolidate first dynastic rule and later nation-state legitimacy and community. This book explains the interweaving of (Eastern) Roman, medieval Serbian and Bulgarian contexts as well as Ottoman and Western European national discourses or reinvented traditions. We can distinguish a secularization and nationalization of the religious contexts in the 19th century within historicism, followed by a nationalization of God and a sacralization of the nation until the end of WWII. Contrary to the national views, the origins of the modern content of these discourses lie only to a very limited extent in the Middle Ages or in the Early Modern period, as this study shows. Please note, this is volume 1 of a 2-volume set. Click here to see volume 2.

The Fourth Industrial Revolution, Industry 4.0, aims to significantly improve the flexibility, versatility, usability and efficiency of future smart factories. However, the concept of Industry 4.0 is not only limited to the factory but also encompasses the entire life cycle of the product, that is, from production and suppliers, to end users. Industry 4.0 delivers seamless vertical and horizontal integration down the entire value chain and across all layers of the automation pyramid. Industry 4.0 has its roots in a project for the high‐tech strategy of the German Government back in 2011, which led to the progression of cyber-physical systems into cyber-physical production systems (CPPS). CPPS can make intelligent decisions through real‐time communication and cooperation between manufacturing entities. Smart Factory, which is based on CPPS and artificial intelligence (AI), is one of the key associated initiatives of Industry 4.0. This enables flexible production of high‐quality personalized products with mass efficiency. Another important aspect of Industry 4.0 is sustainable engineering systems that can help make its processes align with the United Nations Sustainable...
