«Business Analysis, Requirements, and Project Management: A Guide for Computing Students» presents an approach to analysis management that scales the business perspective. It takes a business process view of a business proposal as a model and explains how to structure a technical problem into a recognisable pattern with problem frames. It shows how to identify core transactions and model them as use cases to create a requirements table useful to designers and coders. Linked to the analysis are three management tools: the product breakdown structure (PBS), the Gantt chart, and the Kanban board. The PBS is derived in part from the problem frame. The Gantt chart emerges from the PBS and ensures the key requirements are addressed by reference to use cases. The Kanban board is especially useful in Task Driven Development, which the text covers.

Electronic edition. The Story of Contract Law: Implementing the Bargain. This book includes many classic teaching cases and introduces new ones. The book also includes many problems, most based on actual cases. The book takes especial care with the doctrine of concurrent conditions, a common-law rule adopted in the late 1700s that required doctrinal readjustment across all the law governing contract performance and remedies.
Electronic edition. Law School Materials for Success is designed to give you the essentials of that process. It is purposefully brief – most law students do not have the time for an extensive examination of the study of law school. Rather, they need a source for some basic, critical advice and some pointers on where to go for more if necessary. That is what this book and the accompanying podcasts are designed to provide.
This book, «Mathematical Theory of Higher-Order Degenerate Evolution Models» is devoted to studying solvability and qualitative behavior of generalised solutions to initial boundary value problems for high-order nonlinear parabolic equations and systems. The eventual goal of this book is to present with all rigorous details the new applications of energy-entropy methods, starting from one-dimensional problems discussed in Chapters 1-3, progressing to an advanced level in considering these methods for thin-film type systems in Chapter 4, and 5 and finally showing all the steps of the qualitative analysis for problems in multi-dimensional domains in Chapter 6. While we expect our readers to be familiar with a parabolic PDE theory and have some knowledge of classical functional analysis, we do not assume any background in non-linear PDE analysis and provide enough details to learn the methods from the book.

This book «Learning React» is for developers who want to learn the React library while learning the latest techniques currently emerging in the JavaScript language. This is an exciting time to be a JavaScript developer. The ecosystem is exploding with new tools, syntax, and best practices that promise to solve many of our development problems. Our aim with this book is to organize these techniques so you can get to work with React right away. We’ll get into state management, React Router, testing, and server rendering, so we promise not to introduce only the basics and then throw you to the wolves.
This book does not assume any knowledge of React at all. We’ll introduce all of React’s basics from scratch. Similarly, we won’t assume that you’ve worked with the latest JavaScript syntax. This will be introduced in Chapter 2 as a foundation for the rest of the chapters.
You’ll be better prepared for the contents of the book if you’re comfortable with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. It’s almost always best to be comfortable with these big three before diving into a JavaScript library.

Technological processes of manual and robotic assembly are becoming an increasingly important issue in todays competitive market. Therefore, effec- tive methods and models for their implementation should be investigated. Solving problems related to the most cost-consuming and labor-intensive part of the production process, which is assembly, must be subject to con- stant development and optimization. On the other hand, in this part of the process one can find the greatest reserves enabling the improvement and increase of production efficiency. In this monograph, an attempt was made to compensate for selected and varied assembly processes, based on real practical examples concerning eg. algorithms for recording structures and optimization of assembly planning processes. The methods and systems presented in this study illustrate the main, selected trends that have re- cently become visible in the design and improvement of assembly process- es. The algorithms and heuristics described in this monograph «Modelling, Simulation and Optimisation of the Technological Processes of Assembly» can be used, in most cases in manual and computer aided assembly planning.

A darkly glinting novel set on Ireland’s Atlantic coast, «The Green Road» is a story of fracture and family, selfishness and compassion – a book about the gaps in the human heart and how we learn to fill them. The children of Rosaleen Madigan leave the west of Ireland for lives they never could have imagined in Dublin, New York and various third-world towns. In her early old age their difficult, wonderful mother announces that she’s decided to sell the house and divide the proceeds. Her adult children come back for the last Christmas, with the feeling that their childhoods are being erased, their personal history bought and sold. Anne Enright is addicted to the truth of things. Sentence by sentence, there are few writers alive who can invest the language with such torque and gleam, such wit and longing – who can write dialogue that speaks itself aloud, who can show us a million splinters of her characters’ lives then pull them back up together again, into a perfect glass.
«A Time for Renewal» by Anna Jacobs. In the wake of World War Two, the whole country is desperate for houses, with very little money available to rebuild. In the town of Rivenshaw in Lancashire, Mayne Esher has no choice but to turn Esherwood, the war-damaged stately home which has been in his family for generations, into flats. Rebuilding Esherwood won't be easy but with Judith Crossley by his side, Mayne hopes to restore it to its former glory. First, he must open it up to some of his long-suffering army friends . . . and it soon becomes clear that the house isn't the only thing which needs rebuilding.
Victor is fighting his late wife's rich and arrogant mother for custody of his daughter Betty. Ros has been cheated out of her money and has nowhere to go now she's been demobbed from the army. Daniel is still unsettled after his wartime experiences. He's waiting for his divorce to go through and has family problems that take him away from Ravenshaw. Francis hasn't even been in touch.
On top of these troubles, saving Esherwood proves to be a difficult undertaking for Mayne and Judith. And certain people will stop at nothing to prevent it from happening. In this time of renewal, will the group find a way to rebuild their lives, and the old house, as planned?

The economic success of developed countries, as practice shows, is achieved due to the development of education and scientific research, which are quickly mastered. Education of people can be considered as an effective factor of economic growth. At the same time, it is the most important component of human capital, which accumulates in society and becomes the main economic resource. However, its long-term development requires state support. The experience of providing state support and development of education in advanced countries of the world can be useful for Ukraine, which needs to reform the education system and build an innovative economy. But here you need to clearly imagine the problems that will arise and find ways to solve them. Solutions to the problems of the educational space are currently complicated by a full-scale war and the pandemic state, under which COVID-19 has received a permanent "registration" in the modern world. The relevance of the study is determined by the growing number of problems in education caused by external and internal factors, the importance of ensuring quality education at all levels and supporting inter-university cooperation. Russian military aggression, the partial destruction of the educational fund, a large number of migrants and many hours of power outages make the process of qualitative initiation impossible, both live and online. This monograph «The transformation of the higher education system in Ukraine: proposals and perspectives» is designed to focus attention on complex and, at the same time, important challenges of the educational environment, which, in turn, can change the future of our country.
