Abstract

Toen ‘Nederbelg’ Bessel Kok aan de slag ging als kersverse CEO van toenmalig telecombedrijf RTT erfde hij daar een totaal vermolmd overheidsbedrijf. Bij zijn afscheid drie jaar later waren de wachtlijsten grotendeels weggewerkt en had hij met Proximus de mobiele telefonie succesvol geïntroduceerd in België. Zijn succesrecept? Tonnen charisma, een aanstekelijke dadendrang en een uitzonderlijk sterk strategisch doorzicht. Eerder al had Bessel Kok furore gemaakte als mede-oprichter van het financiële dienstenbedrijf SWIFT – sinds de recente sancties tegen Rusland actueler dan ooit – en later zou hij ook de Tsjechische telefoonoperator Cesky Telecom op een moderne leest schoeien. Hij engageerde zich in de schaak-, film- , wieler- en kunstwereld, en raakte in Praag nauw bevriend met Václac Havel. In Chaos en Charisma brengt journalist Filip Michiels het verhaal van een fascinerend leven, op basis van tientallen interviews met Bessel zelf en met sleutelfiguren uit zijn omgeving. Tegelijk leest dit boek als een kroniek van een ongemeen boeiende periode: van het bruisende Amsterdam van de jaren 60 over het kapot gepolitiseerde België in de jaren 80 tot het bruisende Praag anno 2022.

Abstract

This book outlines a recommended Icelandic security force as part of the country’s defence against sub-strategic threats such as human trafficking by criminals or border incursions by other states. It also tests the recommended security force through the development of four different hypothetical scenarios in the year 2030 designed to show the force’s successful implementation. Melting of the Arctic ice pack, and the opening of the Transpolar Sea Route around 2025 could lead to an increase in traffic into the North Atlantic from the Pacific (and vice versa). That movement is predicted to bring a massive influx of tourists, business interests, and government entities into the region. Along with legitimate uses of the new shipping lanes, the opportunity for terrorists, criminals, and rogue states to travel in and around the Arctic could lead to increased smuggling, violence, and sovereignty disputes (i.e., seizing uninhabited terrain). A review of Iceland’s current security policies indicates that the parliament provided the legal framework to create the recommended security force with the 2016 Parliamentary Resolution establishing a National Security Policy for Iceland. Many scholars and government officials believe that the Iceland public would not support a security force culturally. Yet, recent surveys reveal that many Icelanders could accept a security force to protect them from sub-strategic threats, especially if the increased security could be attained without the intervention of foreign military forces. The recommended security force utilizes Icelandic search-and-rescue volunteers and Reservists to increase the protection of the country funded by its full NATO contribution. .

Abstract

The distant origins of this book are found in my lecture notes that I wrote and rewrote for several years. The traces are the constant smudges that I made from time to time when I rediscovered these topics, you may not like the way of presentation, but I put in the best possible effort, it is not something new either since there are many references at the end of the book; I'll be happy if it at least works for a study group, it's impossible to avoid slipping mistakes.Some frequently asked questions that we ask ourselves, What exactly is a differential equation? Where and how did they originate, what is their use? What is done with them, how are the results of such manipulations analyzed? These questions indicate guidelines to follow, study aspects: theoretical, methodological and various fields of applications.There are historical facts that inspire; for example, obtaining the equation of the tangent line to a given curve was one of the latent problems until the end of the 17th century, on the eve of the birth of differential calculus. From then on the job consisted of solving the inverse problem, finding different methods in view of the fact that very few equations can be solved by specific rules. After a little more than two centuries, it is still not possible to establish general rules for all types of differential equations The physical world is constantly changing, it is also up to differential equations to study this change as a natural phenomenon, the laws that govern it, search for a mathematical model that governs its laws and interpret it.Differential equations in general, constitute the mathematical essence for modeling and comprise a large number of events in: physics, economics, engineering, chemistry, biology, physiology and economics, medicine, mathematics, movement of celestial bodies such as planets, moons and artificial satellites, astronomy, among others. Therefore, differential equations play a crucial role for their study.The content is thinking above all to facilitate understanding by the student, providing the basic technique to face a problem. Which is why numerous examples are included and most proofs are carefully detailed. Although abstraction is important, it makes no sense to study differential equations without reference to practical problems. I want to express my appreciation: to the Faculty of the Department of Mathematics; the director of the general office of interdisciplinary research; to the Rector of the San Luis Gonzaga National University, for crystallizing my sabbatical year and allowing a happy ending for the culmination of this book; to the physicist Mg. Carlos Tenorio, for the paintings alluding to the theme and to my dear Ica; special thanks to the Editorial Fund IDICAP PACÍFICO for the publication in digital version; there are many people who read the manuscript, their comments were valuable; thank you all. Los distantes orígenes de este libro se encuentran en las notas de mis clases que escribí y reescribí por varios años. Las huellas son los constantes borrones que hice cada cierto tiempo que me reencontraba con estos temas, puede no gustarte la forma de presentación, pero puse el mejor esfuerzo posible, tampoco es algo nuevo ya que existen muchas referencias al final del libro; estaré a gusto si al menos sirve para un grupo de estudio, es imposible evitar que se deslice errores. Algunas preguntas frecuentes que nos hacemos, ¿Qué es exactamente una ecuación diferencial? ¿Dónde y cómo se originaron, cuál es su utilidad? ¿Qué se hace con ellas, cómo se analiza los resultados de tales manipulaciones? Estas interrogantes señalan pautas a seguir, estudiar aspectos: teóricos, metodológico y diversos campos de aplicaciones.Hay hechos históricos que inspiran; por ejemplo, la obtención de la ecuación de la recta tangente a una curva determinada, fue uno de los problemas latentes hasta fines del siglo XVII a vísperas del nacimiento del cálculo diferencial. En adelante el trabajo consistía en resolver el problema inverso, encontrar diferentes métodos en vista de que muy pocas ecuaciones pueden resolverse por reglas concretas. Transcurridos un poco más de dos siglos aun no es posible establecer reglas generales para todo tipo de ecuaciones diferenciales El mundo físico está en permanente cambio, también corresponde a las ecuaciones diferenciales estudiar este cambio como fenómeno natural, las leyes que rigen, buscar un modelo matemático que gobierna sus leyes e interpretarla.Las ecuaciones diferenciales en general, constituyen la esencia matemática para la modelización y comprende un gran número de eventos en: físicas, economía, ingeniería, química, biología, fisiología y economía, medicina, matemática, movimiento de cuerpos celestes tales como planetas, lunas y satélites artificiales, astronomía, entre otros. Por tanto, las ecuaciones diferenciales desempeñan un papel crucial para su estudio.El contenido está pensando sobre todo para facilitar la comprensión por parte del estudiante, brindándole la técnica básica para enfrentar a un problema. Razón por la cual se incluyen numerosos ejemplos y se detallan cuidadosamente la mayoría de las demostraciones. Si bien la abstracción es importante, no tiene sentido estudiar ecuaciones diferenciales sin hacer referencias a problemas prácticos. Quiero expresar mi aprecio: al cuerpo Docentes del Departamento de Matemática; al director de la oficina general de investigación interdisciplinaria; al Rector de la Universidad Nacional San Luis Gonzaga, por cristalizar mi año sabático y permitió un final feliz para culminación del presente libro; al físico Mg. Carlos Tenorio, por las pinturas alusivas al tema y a mi querida Ica; agradecimiento especial se merece el Fondo Editorial IDICAP PACÍFICO por la publicación en versión digital; son muchas las personas que leyeron el manuscrito, sus comentarios fueron valiosos; a todos gracias.

Abstract

What is the relationship between the military and the monarchy in Thailand? How has that relationship changed since King Vajiralongkorn (Rama X) assumed the throne in 2016? Why have recent military coups in Thailand been staged partly in order to defend the throne? And how far can earlier interpretations of Thai politics be adapted to explain the growing influence of the monarchy in recent years? This book seeks to answer these questions.

Abstract

As the popular myth of racial equality in Brazil crumbles beneath the weight of current grassroots politics, how will the country redefine itself as a multiethnic nation? Brazil’s New Racial Politics captures the myriad questions and problems unleashed by a growing awareness of the ways racism structures Brazilian society. The authors bridge the gap between scholarship and activism as they tackle issues ranging from white privilege to black power, from government policy to popular advocacy, and from historical injustices to recent victories. The result is a rich exploration of the conflicting social realities characterizing Brazil today, as well as their far-reaching political implications.
