In diesem Buch wird Kirchenmusik in den Horizont musikpädagogischer Forschung gestellt. Ziel des hiesigen Nachdenkens über die Kirchenmusik und ihre Pädagogik ist die Konzeption einer Ausbildung für ehrenamtliche Kirchensänger*innen, wie sie in der Evangelischen Kirche von Kurhessen-Waldeck in die Praxis geführt werden soll. Insofern versteht sich die Publikation einerseits als Teil des akademischen Diskurses und andererseits als konstruktiver Beitrag zu einer Kirchenmusik, deren Praxis sich, wie andere kirchliche Handlungsfelder auch, unterschiedlichen Herausforderungen der Gegenwart stellen muss. Das Handlungsfeld Kirchenmusik wird aus der Perspektive der Musikpädagogik auf eine Weise erschlossen, die in dieser Art im Diskurs bislang kaum eine spielt. Die Wahrnehmung kirchenmusikalischen Handelns als musikpädagogischer Lernort schließt das Nachdenken über kirchentheoretische Fragestellungen ebenso ein wie das der ästhetischen Konsequenzen, die das Agieren in diesem spezifischen Feldfür musikpädagogisches Nachdenken hat. Insofern verdankt sich das vorliegende Buch der Interdisziplinarität, die am Ort der Kirchenmusik zwischen Musikpädagogik, Musikwissenschaft und Praktischer Theologie aufgespannt wird.

The author shows through a careful analysis of the law that restrictive immunity does not have vox populi in developing countries, and that it lacks usus.

The book provides an introduction to advanced topics in stochastic processes and related stochastic analysis, and combines them with a sound presentation of the fundamentals of financial mathematics. It is wide-ranging in content, while at the same time placing much emphasis on good readability, motivation, and explanation of the issues covered. Financial mathematical topics are first introduced in the context of discrete time processes and then transferred to continuous-time models. The basic construction of the stochastic integral and the associated martingale theory provide fundamental methods of the theory of stochastic processes for the construction of suitable stochastic models of financial mathematics, e.g. using stochastic differential equations. Central results of stochastic analysis such as the Itô formula, Girsanov's theorem and martingale representation theorems are of fundamental importance in financial mathematics, e.g. for the risk-neutral valuation formula (Black-Scholes formula) or the question of the hedgeability of options and the completeness of market models. Chapters on the valuation of options in complete and incomplete markets and on the determination of optimal hedging strategies conclude the range of topics.Advanced knowledge of probability theory is assumed, in particular of discrete-time processes (martingales, Markov chains) and continuous-time processes (Brownian motion, Lévy processes, processes with independent increments, Markov processes). The book is thus suitable for advanced students as a companion reading and for instructors as a basis for their own courses.This book is a translation of the original German 1st edition Stochastische Prozesse und Finanzmathematik by Ludger Rüschendorf, published by Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature in 2020. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com) and in a subsequent editing, improved by the author. Springer Nature works continuously to further the development of tools for the production of books and on the related technologies to support the authors.

"Basic Concepts in Physics: From the Cosmos to Quarks" is the outcome of the authors' long and varied teaching experience in different countries and for different audiences, and gives an accessible and eminently readable introduction to all the main ideas of modern physics.

These collected papers of Ernst Zermelo (1871-1953) consist of two volumes. Volume I covers set theory, the foundations of mathematics, and pure mathematics. Volume II contains his work in the calculus of variations, applied mathematics, and physics.

This work, written in an understandable way for the interested layperson, introduces into the unknown world of the CO 2 gas volcanoes, the so-called mofettes. A little explored world that lets animals die in the middle of Europe, changes the flora, influences soils and the atmosphere and can provide clues for upcoming volcanic eruptions. With the help of the botanical bioindication, such degassing points can also be found in the field and even used economically, e.g. in mineral water and fire extinguishers, for the preservation of food and for the healing of heart and skin diseases. In this biological-geological mofette guide, Prof. Hardy Pfanz explains where such phenomena can be found in Germany, but also worldwide, and what they tell us. He also reveals - with a wink - one or the other extraordinary and legendary thing about mofettes.
