This book describes the concepts of the Solar PV system which is considered an important alternative to fossil fuels. As UN SDG points out, the implementation of clean and affordable renewable energy is becoming more sustainable and progressive. The authors have addressed the basic concepts of Solar PV systems and the design of PV systems, including several real-world examples. The book will be of great benefit to solar energy management professionals, PV troubleshooting engineers, consultants, professors, students, and industry experts.

The reader will be familiarized with some inconspicuous additions to the theory of relativity and quantum theory, which concern the energy density in cosmic and sub-nuclear domains. These are seemingly technical details, but they make the extreme vividness of light and its speed understandable. We will also ask anew some questions that concern that apparently objective world, whose objectivity is not just a matter of self-evidence, but is constantly being reconstituted in intelligent awareness. Thus the vibrancy of the presence of the world emerges as a most suitable basis for physical knowledge. Finally, we will discuss the sociological conditions, which, especially in the light of the increasing global epidemics, point to an impending disintegration, even to a collapse of civil society. While new strands of human, artificial and hybrid life forms are emerging, new aviation and nuclear time travel appear in a new light. Time as we knew it is gone forever. We experience both a time-out of time and time out of time. Only the happiest of us will keep our original shape and make our way across the galaxy.

Empowering ethical codes is vital in all branches of law because without these codes we would be unable to differentiate between right and wrong in our personal judgments. Lawyers can either be the most precious or the most precarious parties in a criminal case, depending on the state of their conscience. In such cases, immorality replaces morality, and legal norms become pawns in a game, the goal of which is to serve the economic interests of the lawyer. The lawyer becomes a greater threat to the truth when they support the establishment of special tribunals meant to hide the truth, such as was seen in Iraq, or when they receive payment in order to cover up genocide in places such as Myanmar and in the territories of the superpowers. Such lawyers then turn around and condemn the same crimes in places such as China. They speak out against crimes against humanity carried out by the Iranian government, but do not say a single word about crimes against humanity, war crimes, and genocide committed by the Saudi Arabian Israeli, American, French, and British governments. Here, doppelgänger attorneys do not present the true image of justice, but rather work to convince the international public that their brutal clients are innocent. The situation is even more complicated when we are dealing with very sensitive questions of international criminal justice under various criminal procedures directed by lawyers in the ICJ, the ICC, or in 'ad hoc' tribunals. What is the nature of integrity, impartiality, conscience, truth, and payments, and why are lawyers increasingly being sponsored and directed by outsiders? This book reveals the forbidden truth -- an embarrassment and moral weakness of conscience. The reader can hardly put the book down! Every library should obtain it.

For many years, public schools served as prominent examples of organisations operating in a stable organisational environment. In the 21st century, however, this notion is gradually changing. Public schools face a dynamic organisational environment characterised by technological innovations, increased social heterogeneity, competition, and contradictory expectations presented by various stakeholders. In addition, the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic undermined schools'' basic routines, introducing uncertainty and instability to an extent that school leaders had never experienced before. These changing circumstances have increased the complexity school leaders experience on the job, creating new professional challenges, which are growing in number and sophistication. This book intends to promote awareness of the complex and unique challenges educational leaders are facing and, in doing so, to introduce a rational and a more balanced voice to the discourse on school leadership.
