Python Game Programming By Example
English | 2015 | ISBN: 1785281534 | 232 Pages | EPUB (True) | 4 MB
With a growing interest in learning to program, game development is an appealing topic for getting started with coding. From geometry to basic Artificial Intelligence algorithms, there are plenty of concepts that can be applied in almost every game. Python is a widely used general-purpose, high-level programming language. It provides constructs intended to enable clear programs on both a small and large scale. It is the third most popular language whose grammatical syntax is not predominantly based on C. Python is also very easy to code and is also highly flexible, which is exactly what is required for game development. The user-friendliness of this language allows beginners to code games without too much effort or training. Python also works with very little code and in most cases uses the "use cases" approach, reserving lengthy explicit coding for outliers and exceptions, making game development an achievable feat.

Preserving Polyphonies: Translating the Writings of Claude Sarraute (New Trends in Translation Studies) By Claire Ellender
2013 | 240 Pages | ISBN: 3034309406 | PDF | 4 MB
To date, translation theory offers no satisfactory response to the multidimensional challenge of rerendering postmodern texts. As the existence of linguistic and cultural plurality in these writings is now widely acknowledged, many theorists recognise the impossibility of achieving complete equivalence in translation. If the fragmented, decentred, postmodern source text (ST) is to be rerendered in the target language (TL), a process of 'rewriting' is deemed necessary. Nevertheless, such an approach, if taken too far, may not always be the most appropriate. Focusing on the French journalist and novelist Claude Sarraute, whose postmodern writings offer a suitable body of texts for study, this book seeks to determine effective means by which the translator can first read and analyse postmodern STs and subsequently preserve their intricacies in the TL. To provide an original response to this challenge grounded in both theoretical and practical evidence, the author refers to the work of the Bakhtin Circle; concepts from literary theory, stylistics and translation theory; and translations of a body of texts as variegated in character as those of Sarraute. Using the approach which she recommends, the author then explains how she rerenders in English a collection of Sarraute's polyphonic writings.

Polish Patriotism after 1989: Concepts, Debates, Identities (Nationalisms across the Globe) By Dorota Szeligowska
2016 | 310 Pages | ISBN: 3034319924 | PDF | 7 MB
This book analyses the concept of patriotism and the contestation over its meaning in key public debates in Poland over the last twenty-five years. It focuses on the strategies used to define, re-shape and В«bendВ» the notion of patriotism, which during this period has become a central issue in Polish political discourse. Contemporary Polish society is characterized by a growing polarization of the public sphere. Rivalry between former communists and former dissidents has been progressively replaced by internal opposition within the ranks of once-dissident allies, now divided into civic-minded В«criticalВ» patriots and nationalist-oriented В«traditionalВ» patriots. This division re-emerges regularly during key moments in Polish public life - most recently in the aftermath of the highly contested 2015 parliamentary elections. By tracing the evolution of the debate over patriotism since 1989, this book provides crucial insights into the current political situation.

Zina Giannopoulou, "Plato's Theaetetus as a Second Apology"
English | ISBN: 0199695296 | 2013 | 224 pages | PDF | 1019 KB
Zina Giannopoulou argues that Theaetetus-Plato's most systematic examination of knowledge-is a philosophically sophisticated elaboration of Apology that successfully differentiates Socrates from the sophists. In Apology Socrates defends his philosophical activity partly by distinguishing it from sophistic practices, and in Theaetetus he enacts this distinction: the self-proclaimed ignorant and pious Socrates of Apology poses as the barren practitioner of midwifery, an art that enjoys divine support, and helps his pregnant interlocutor to engender his ideas. Whereas sophistic expertise fills others' souls with items of dubious epistemic quality, Socratic midwifery removes, tests, and discards falsities. In

Physically Active University Teaching: Introduction to the Heidelberg Model of Physically Active Teaching
English | 2022 | ISBN: 3658386789 | 69 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 2 MB
In this essential, the authors present an innovative teaching-learning concept that uses the potential of movement-activating approaches to make university teaching more motivating, more efficient for learning and more conducive to health. Based on current findings in health, work and learning research, the Heidelberg Model of Moving Teaching presents a proven approach that combines university teaching-learning processes with light (micro) movement - such as standing up or walking around - in a way that saves learning time and is close to the classroom. This gives students the opportunity to abandon the rigid sitting posture during teaching and to actively engage with the subject matter (through movement). The essential contains practice-stimulating recommendations and concrete examples of implementation for a moving design of university teaching.

Performing Trauma in Central Africa: Shadows of Empire By Laura Edmondson
2018 | 366 Pages | ISBN: 0253032458 | PDF | 154 MB
What are the stakes of cultural production in a time of war? How is artistic expression prone to manipulation by the state and international humanitarian organizations? In the charged political terrain of post-genocide Rwanda, post-civil war Uganda, and recent violence in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Laura Edmondson explores performance through the lens of empire. Instead of celebrating theatre productions as expression of cultural agency and resilience, Edmondson traces their humanitarian imperatives to a place where global narratives of violence take precedence over local traditions and audiences. Working at the intersection of performance and trauma, Edmondson reveals how artists and cultural workers manipulate narratives in the shadow of empire and how empire, in turn, infiltrates creative capacities.

Paternalism: Moral Theory and Legal Practice (Warsaw Studies in Philosophy and Social Sciences) By Antal Szerletics
2015 | 239 Pages | ISBN: 3631668007 | PDF | 2 MB
This book explores and critically evaluates conceptual and justificatory models related to paternalism in the context of moral philosophy. Paternalistic interventions promoting someone's good or protecting the person from self-harming actions raise controversial questions from a legal and an ethical perspective. The tension between the benevolent character of paternalism and its interference with personal autonomy seems to hinder the development of a coherent theory that could specify the В«properВ» limits of protective state interventions. The theoretical investigation is complemented by selected cases from the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights and the Constitutional Court of Hungary.

Parameter Estimation in Stochastic Volatility Models
English | 2022 | ISBN: 3031038606 | 643 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 42 MB
This book develops alternative methods to estimate the unknown parameters in stochastic volatility models, offering a new approach to test model accuracy. While there is ample research to document stochastic differential equation models driven by Brownian motion based on discrete observations of the underlying diffusion process, these traditional methods often fail to estimate the unknown parameters in the unobserved volatility processes. This text studies the second order rate of weak convergence to normality to obtain refined inference results like confidence interval, as well as nontraditional continuous time stochastic volatility models driven by fractional Levy processes. By incorporating jumps and long memory into the volatility process, these new methods will help better predict option pricing and stock market crash risk. Some simulation algorithms for numerical experiments are provided.

Only Connect: E. M. Forster's Legacies in British Fiction (Critical Perspectives on English and American Literature, Communication and Culture) By Elsa CavaliГ© (editor), Laurent Mellet (editor)
2017 | 352 Pages | ISBN: 3034325991 | PDF | 2 MB
Since Forster's death in 1970, many British novelists and film directors have acknowledged and even claimed the influence of the novelist of the English soul (in Woolf's terms) and of a renewed faith in both human relationships and a quintessentially British liberal-humanism. After the ethical turn at the end of the twentieth century, British literature today seems to go back even more drastically to the figure of the individual human being, and to turn the narrative space into some laboratory of a new form of empowerment of the other's political autonomy. It is in this context that the references to Forster are more and more frequent, both in British fiction and in academia. This book does not only aim at spotting and theorising this return to Forster today. Rather we endeavour to trace its genealogy and shed light on the successive modes of the legacy, from Forster's first novel, Where Angels Fear to Tread (1905) onwards, to the novelisation of Forster himself by Damon Galgut. How can the principle of connection, of correspondences and echoes, which informed Forster's private life and approach to writing so much, equally characterise the aesthetic and political influence of his Е“uvre?

Old Borders, New Technologies: Reframing Film and Visual Culture in Contemporary Northern Ireland By Paula Blair
2014 | 271 Pages | ISBN: 3034309457 | PDF | 6 MB
Northern Ireland is now generally regarded to be a post-conflict region since the official end to three decades of violence in 1998. However, given some of the stipulations of the Good Friday Belfast Agreement, including the early release of politically motivated prisoners from jail, society in Northern Ireland remains in a state of flux, uncertainty and disagreement. This book presents four thematic studies revolving around the issues of imprisonment, surveillance, traumatic recall and myth-making in Northern Ireland. These studies examine the different ways in which artists and filmmakers are experimenting with film aesthetics and new media technologies to represent, re-present and invite engagement with the underlying anxieties that continue to trouble post-Agreement society. In doing so, the author argues for a reassessment of the critical analysis of film's convergence with other forms of visual art. Ultimately, the volume assesses the usefulness of such an approach in examining how artists and filmmakers experiment with diverse forms that open up space for discussion of the hidden and marginalized concerns in Northern Ireland's new, 'shared' society. This book was the winner of the 2012 Peter Lang Young Scholars Competition in Film Studies.

David Crawford, Bart Deseyn, "Nostalgia for the Present: Ethnography and Photography in a Moroccan Berber Village"
English | 2014 | ISBN: 9087282117 | 144 pages | PDF | 36 MB
Anthropology and photography have been linked since the nineteenth century, but their relationship has never been entirely comfortable―and has grown less so in recent years. Nostalgia for the Present aims to repair that relationship by involving intentional participants in an inclusive conversation; it is the fruit of a collaboration among an ethnographer, a photographer, a group of Moroccan farmers, and Abdelkrim Bamouh―a native intellectual whose deep understanding of rural Morocco made him not merely a translator but a facilitator of the dialogue.

Non-communicable Diseases, Big Data and Artificial Intelligence by Youxin Wang
English | PDF | 2022 | 216 Pages | ISBN : N/A | 20.5 MB
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development adopted by the United Nations in 2015 recognized non-communicable diseases (NCDs) as a major public health challenge. NCDs are usually multifactorial diseases influenced by both genetic and environmental factors, which makes them difficult to prevent and treat effectively. Medical and health big data, consisting of lifestyle, clinical, and biological data, provide an almost unlimited amount of information about diseases, far exceeding the human ability to make sense of it. Artificial intelligence (AI) offers the potential to analyze large and complex datasets in order to improve predictive, preventive, and personalized medicine (3P medicine)
