The Special Issue on Advances in Water Distribution Networks (WDNs) explores four important topics of research in the framework of WDNs, namely simulation and optimization modelling, topology and partitioning, water quality, and service effectiveness. With regard to the first topic, the following aspects are addressed: pressure-driven formulations, algorithms for the optimal location of control valves to minimize leakage, the benefits of water discharge prediction for the remote real time control of valves, and transients generated by pumps operating as turbines. In the context of the second topic, a topological taxonomy of WDNs is presented, and partitioning methods for the creation of district metered areas are compared. In relation to the third topic, the vulnerability to trihalomethane is assessed, and a statistical optimization model to minimize heavy metal releases is presented. Finally, the fourth topic focusses on the estimation of non-revenue water, including leakage and unauthorized consumption, and on the assessment of service under intermittent supply conditions.
This volume covers A.D. 1661-1715.
Like in all jurisdictions of the Member States of the European Union the Slovak civil procedure is governed by the range of principles that were developed in Europe since 19th century. The thesis summarizes the main principles and their application by the judges when taking the evidence in the course of civil proceedings. It is evident that the observance of principles is vital not only in the drafting of legislation, but also in its implementation and claiming rights of the parties before the court. The combination of competing principles, such as free disposition principle and the officiality principle, as well as the adversarial and inquisitorial principles helps to achieve the situation in both positive law and the decision making practice of the courts, where it is possible to decide the civil cases in a fair and objective way enabling parties to use procedural tools at their disposal. The thesis further elaborates on role of principles in taking evidence at the court and it also describes the kinds and means of evidence according to the Slovak Code of Civil Procedure.

In the current context of the electronic governance of society, both administrations and citizens are demanding greater participation of all the actors involved in the decision-making process relative to the governance of society. This book presents collective works published in the recent Special Issue (SI) entitled “Optimization for Decision Making”. These works give an appropriate response to the new challenges raised, the decision-making process can be done by applying different methods and tools, as well as using different objectives. In real-life problems, the formulation of decision-making problems and application of optimization techniques to support decisions are particularly complex and a wide range of optimization techniques and methodologies are used to minimize risks, improve quality in making decisions, or, in general, to solve problems. In addition, a sensitivity or robustness analysis should be done to validate/analyze the influence of uncertainty regarding decision-making. This book brings together a collection of inter-/multi-disciplinary works applied to the optimization for decision making in a coherent manner.

Die Herrnhuter Brüdergemeine eröffnete 1766 eine Töchterpension in Montmirail am Neuenburgersee. Gestützt auf bislang unveröffentlichte Quellen zeichnet die Autorin deren Gründung und Etablierung nach. Sie untersucht die Bedeutung dieser Erziehungsanstalt für die Tätigkeit der Herrnhuter Brüdergemeine in der Schweiz, ermittelt ihr pädagogisches Konzept und analysiert ihre Positionierung in der Schweizer Bildungslandschaft. Das Buch leistet einen substanziellen Beitrag aus erziehungswissenschaftlicher Perspektive zur Geschichte der Herrnhuter Brüdergemeine im 18. Jahrhundert sowie zur Mädchenbildung in der Schweiz.This book is made open access as part of the Knowledge Unlatched KU Open Services
Jainism, one of the ancient Indian religions, carries a rich heritage filled with spiritual luminaries known as Tirthankars. These enlightened beings, known for their supreme wisdom and compassion, have guided followers on a transformative journey towards spiritual awakening. Additionally, the profound teachings of Jainism have been preserved and propagated through a vast collection of Jain books, serving as timeless reservoirs of knowledge. Exploring the 24 Jain Tirthankars: The heart of Jainism lies in the reverence for the 24 Tirthankars, spiritual leaders who have attained enlightenment and liberated themselves from the cycle of birth and death. Each Tirthankar represents a unique facet of spiritual perfection, offering a guiding light for followers on their path to salvation...
This Special Issue presents the work of 30 scientists from 11 countries. It confirms that the impacts of global change, resulting from both climate change and increasing anthropogenic pressure, are huge on worldwide coastal areas (and critically so on some islands in the Pacific Ocean), with highly negative effects on coastal groundwater resources, which are widely affected by seawater intrusion. Some improved research methods are proposed in the contributions: using innovative hydrogeological, geophysical, and geochemical monitoring; assessing impacts of the changing environment on the coastal groundwater resources in terms of quantity and quality; and using modelling, especially to improve management approaches. The scientific research needed to face these challenges must continue to be deployed by different approaches based on the monitoring, modelling and management of groundwater resources. Novel and more efficient methods must be developed to keep up with the accelerating pace of global change.
