Operations Research Proceedings 2021
This book gathers a selection of peer-reviewed papers presented at the International Conference on Operations Research (OR 2021), which was hosted online by the University of Bern from August 31 to September 3, 2021, and was jointly organized by the Operations Research Societies of Switzerland (SVOR/ASRO), Germany (GOR e.V.), and Austria (ÖGOR). The respective papers discuss classical mathematical optimization, statistics and simulation techniques. These are complemented by computer science methods, and by tools for processing data, designing and implementing information systems. The book also examines recent advances in information technology, which allow massive volumes of data to be processed and enable real-time predictive and prescriptive business analytics to drive decisions and actions. Lastly, it presents a selection of problems that are modeled and treated while taking into account uncertainty, risk management, behavioral issues, etc.
Fall Jeanmaire, Fall Schweiz
Dramatisiert durch Bundesrat Furgler, verteufelt durch die Medien: Die Taten des "Jahrhundertverräters" Jeanmaire stellen sich aus den Akten anders dar, als sie in der kollektiven Erinnerung präsent sind. Gemäss Bundesrat Furgler hatte Brigadier Jeanmaire den Russen "geheimste Unterlagen" über die Kriegsmobilmachung verschafft. Jene offizielle Mitteilung versetzte 1976 eine breite Öffentlichkeit in Schrecken, glaubte sie doch, es seien Truppenstandorte, geheime Kommandoanlagen und andere sensible Daten verraten worden. Dreissig Jahre nach der Verhaftung Jeanmaires liegt erstmals ein Report vor, der sich auf die Ermittlungs- und Gerichtsakten stützt. War der Brigadier tatsächlich der "Jahrhundertverräter"? Oder war er vielmehr eine Projektionsfläche für den Hass, den die bürgerliche Schweiz gegenüber der totalitären Sowjetunion hegte? Im unparteiischen Bericht von Jürg Schoch machen die Akteure von damals eine zweifelhafte Figur: die Ermittler, manche Presseorgane, das Gericht und selbst Justizminister Furgler.

Opera in Theory and Practice, Image and Myth
The History of Italian Opera marks the first time a team of scholars has worked together to investigate the entire Italian operatic tradition, rather than limiting its focus to major composers and their masterworks. Including both musicologists and historians of other arts, the contributors approach opera not only as a distinctive musical genre but also as a form of extravagant theater and a complex social phenomenon. This sixth volume in the series centers on the sociological and critical aspects of opera in Italy, considering the art in the context of an Italian literary and cultural canon rarely revealed in English and American studies. In its six chapters, contributors survey critics' changing attitudes toward opera over several centuries, trace the evolution of formal conventions among librettists, explore the historical relationships between opera and Italian literature, and examine opera's place in Italian popular and national culture. In perhaps the volume's most striking contribution, German scholar Carl Dahlouse offers his most important statement on the dramaturgy of opera.
Heads of State and Government
Macmillan published the first edition of this text in 1985. It is a detailed reference to world leaders, monarchs, presidents and their equivalents, executive leaders plus other positions with authority vested in them; heads of ruling communist parties, military junta heads and some leaders with no formal post, but who wield supreme authority. This text is a reference to leaders, past and present, of the countries of the world. The second edition updates the first and includes the far reaching political changes which have taken place in Eastern Europe and the emergence of new states. The scope of the book has been broadened to include more international organisations, more regional government leaders, more governments in exile and colonial governors of the twentieth century.
Switzerland and South Africa 1948-1994
While other states imposed economic sanctions on the apartheid regime of South Africa, Swiss authorities long adhered to the position that South Africa is a state like any other. Swiss big business corporations saw an attractive trade partner in South Africa; in part, they also profited from the boycotts of others. Additionally, some political forces sympathised openly with the regime in Pretoria. Encouraged by the debate concerning Swiss policy and activity during the Second World War, in 1997 the order was given to initiate a historical study of Swiss behaviour towards the apartheid regime. Thus this report, commissioned by the Swiss parliament and the Federal Council, and passed over to t...
Boogiemania - 88 keys to the soul
In over 4,000 performances in 19 countries to date, the award-winning Swiss boogie and blues pianist Nico Brina has experienced the magic of improvised music, how it affects people and what it triggers in their souls. Music as a world language. Already in his German-language book "Von 100 auf 0 in 1 Sekunde" (From 100 to 0 in 1 second), published in 2022, he talked humorously and up close about his career and about unusual projects that enabled him to keep the flame alive even during the coronavirus pandemic. Just in time for his 40th stage anniversary, a direct continuation of this successful author's journey is now being published, and this time also in an English translation: "Boogiemania...
