Bruce S. Jansson, "Empowerment Series: The Reluctant Welfare State Ed 9"
English | ISBN: 1337565636 | 2018 | 624 pages | PDF | 16 MB
Social welfare programs often get blamed for the nation's budget woes. Is that fair? Gain insight into our "reluctant" social welfare system from a top scholar on the subject. Bruce Jansson analyzes the evolution of the American welfare state from colonial times to the present-placing social policy in its political, cultural and societal context. Rather than passively reading, you'll interact with the issues, oppressed populations, ethical choices, social and ideological conflicts, advocates and policies in preceding eras and in the contemporary period. You'll see how vulnerable populations and social reformers have achieved progressive reforms through policy advocacy. THE RELUCTANT WELFARE STATE also helps you develop the core competencies and practice behaviors outlined in the Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards (EPAS) set by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE).

Election Attitude: How Internet Voting Leads to a Stronger Democracy (It's All About Attitude) by John R. Patrick

The 2016 Presidential election showed once again how antiquated our registration and voting systems are. Thanks to dedicated election workers, the system was able to accurately count all the votes. In 2018, that may not be the case. The states have no funding to replace the 15-year old voting machines. Millions of military and other overseas voters continue to be dependent on the postal system to vote, the same as more than 100 years ago. Millions of voters were disenfranchised. The United States ranks #31 out of the leading 34 developed countries in voter participation. One of the reasons for the low turnout is our out of date system for registration and voting. Physically going to a polling place is an old-fashioned idea to millennials.

Early Algebra: Research into its Nature, its Learning, its Teaching by Carolyn Kieran, JeongSuk Pang, Deborah Schifter, Swee Fong Ng
English | PDF | 2016 | 48 Pages | ISBN : 3319322575 | 0.9 MB
This survey of the state of the art on research in early algebra traces the evolution of a relatively new field of research and teaching practice. With its focus on the younger student, aged from about 6 years up to 12 years, this volume reveals the nature of the research that has been carried out in early algebra and how it has shaped the growth of the field. The survey, in presenting examples drawn from the steadily growing research base, highlights both the nature of algebraic thinking and the ways in which this thinking is being developed in the primary and early middle school student. Mathematical relations, patterns, and arithmetical structures lie at the heart of early algebraic activity, with processes such as noticing, conjecturing, generalizing, representing, justifying, and communicating being central to students' engagement.

Duality: The Beauty of Truth By G Alwyn Zittrauer
2005 | 432 Pages | ISBN: 0975949306 | PDF | 6 MB
Have you ever wondered if humanity made a grand mistake somewhere in the past; as if we really were living in an Eden, suddenly veered off course, and ever since we've been running steadily towards a chasm? Like there should be a pattern we fit into, and our seeming control of MATTER has given us the illusion we can dispense with the pattern and create our own REALITY.Or maybe you think human civilization has grown quite well, and we just need to make some corrections. The "horrible" state of affairs in the world today is just another media concoction. Looking at history from an objective viewpoint, we as a race have created a much better world. The path we are on is not mistaken, we just have not perfected the machinery yet.Is one of these views right, and the other wrong; where should we look for an answer? The most sensible starting point should be with the discipline which has repeatedly proven itself, SCIENCE. It would take a Luddite, or some similar dimwit, to try and make an argument that SCIENCE has not been successful. But it is also apparent to many of us that SCIENCE ts full of holes with no EMOTION inside; cold, sterile, and devoid of LIFE, as it is intended to be.If SCIENCE is not able to give us the answers we seek, the answers we need, then we must look elsewhere. To go where SCIENCE dare not go, we must look to the RELIGIONS of the world. RELIGION nowadays takes a bad rap from many hyper-liberal academic writers. But one thing these RELIGIONS have done, and their detractors have not, is to pass successfully the test of TIME. The problem with trying to use RELIGIONS to fill the holes in SCIENCE is the inflexible interpretations developed since their founders passed on.SCIENCE and RELIGION mix within most of us in an uneasy fashion. We have faith in a RELIGION, or some part of it, and we know that SCIENCE works. It's like we all learn to develop an uneasy truce between what we believe, and what we know works. The problem is this approach makes no sense. Thus some people become overly RATIONAL, and tend to think religious people are stupid or crazy. While others reject rationality, leading them to fear and oppose a civilization based on the individualistic rigor of domination.DUALITY is the first in a series of four books which will show that these conflicting views are right .. . and wrong. REALITY is a pattern and a machine. This philosophical series is the story of an unjustly imprisoned man, who embarks on an extended fast with a desire to uncover the essence of TRUTH. From a basis of a belief in one REALITY, dispensing with the notion that there is only one way to see it, and unmasking TIME as the lever, allows the most important question to be answered- how does it all fit together?The author is a registered Professional Engineer, with a B.E.E. from the Georgia Institute of Technology, and a B.A. from Florida State University (Philosophy). Additional knowledge and experience have been gained studying personal forms of development: Shorinji-ryu karatedo, Yang Taiji Chuan, licensed massage therapy, Hatha yoga, fasting, and meditation.

Digital Timing Measurements: From Scopes and Probes to Timing and Jitter by Wolfgang Maichen
English | PDF | 2006 | 250 Pages | ISBN : 0387314180 | 2.8 MB
As many circuits and applications now enter the Gigahertz frequency range, accurate digital timing measurements have become crucial in the design, verification, characterization, and application of electronic circuits. To be successful in this endeavour, an engineer needs a knowledge base covering instrumentation, measurement techniques, signal integrity, jitter and timing concepts, and statistics. Very often even the most experienced digital test engineers, while mastering some of those subjects, lack systematic knowledge or experience in the high speed signal area.

Demystifying Emotions: A Typology of Theories in Psychology and Philosophy
English | 2022 | ISBN: 1107066344 | 401 Pages | PDF | 3 MB
Demystifying Emotions provides a comprehensive typology of emotion theories in psychology (evolutionary, network, appraisal, goal-directed, psychological constructionist, and social) and philosophy (feeling, judgmental, quasi-judgmental, perceptual, embodied, and motivational) in a systematic manner with the help of tools from philosophy of science, allowing scholars in both fields to understand the commonalities and differences between these theories. Agnes Moors also proposes her own novel, skeptical theory of emotions, called the goal-directed theory, based on the central idea that all kinds of behaviors and feelings are grounded in goal-striving. Whereas most scholars of emotion do not call the notion of emotion itself into question, this review engages in a critical examination of its scientific legitimacy. This book will appeal to readers in psychology, philosophy, and related disciplines who want to gain a deeper understanding of the controversies at play in the emotion domain.

Darjeeling Reconsidered C: Histories, Politics, Environments By Townsend Middleton, Sara Shneiderman
2018 | 336 Pages | ISBN: 0199483558 | PDF | 4 MB
Darjeeling occupies a special place in the South Asian imaginary. With its Himalayan vistas, lush tea gardens, and brisk mountain air, Darjeeling was the consummate colonial hill-station. The romance with the "queen of the hills" lives on, as thousands of tourists (domestic and international) annually flock to the hills to taste its world-renowned tea, soak up the colonial nostalgia, and glimpse mighty Mount Kanchenjunga. Darjeeling's fame has now gone global and its legacy continues to fuel Hollywood and Bollywood fantasies. But this is only part of Darjeeling's story. Darjeeling Reconsidered provocatively rethinks Darjeeling's legendary status in the postcolonial imagination. Mobilizing diverse disciplinary approaches from the social sciences and humanities, this definitive collection of essays sheds fresh light on the region's past and offers critical insight into the issues facing its people today. The historical analyses break with hackneyed colonial accounts to provide alternative readings of systems of governance, labour, and migration that shaped Darjeeling. The ethnographic chapters present cutting-edge accounts of dynamics that define life in 21st century Darjeeling: among them the realpolitik of subnationalism; Fair Trade tea; indigenous struggle; gendered inequality; ecological transformation; and resource scarcity. Through these eye-opening perspectives, Darjeeling Reconsidered figures Darjeeling as a vital site for South Asian and Postcolonial Studies-and calls for a timely re-examination of the legend and hard-realities of this oft-romanticized region and its people. The book seeks a place on the shelves of postcolonial theorists, on the syllabi of undergraduate and graduate courses on South Asia, and in the rucksacks of intellectually curious visitors from all over the world to Darjeeling.

Ctrl-Alt-Play: Essays on Control in Video Gaming By Matthew Wysocki (editor)
2013 | 228 Pages | ISBN: 0786470135 | PDF | 2 MB
The word "control" has many implications for video games. On a basic level, without player control, there is no experience. Much of the video game industry focuses on questions of control and ways to improve play to make the gamer feel more connected to the virtual world. The sixteen essays in this collection offer critical examinations of the issue of control in video games, including different ways to theorize and define control within video gaming and how control impacts game design and game play. Close readings of specific games--including Grand Theft Auto IV, Call of Duty: Black Ops, and Dragon Age: Origins--consider how each locates elements of control in their structures. As video games increasingly become a major force in the media landscape, this important contribution to the field of game studies provides a valuable framework for understanding their growing impact.

Peter Ollerhead, "Crewe in the Great War "
English | ISBN: 1783463414 | 2015 | 96 pages | EPUB | 4 MB
Along with most of the United Kingdom the town of Crewe was affected in many ways during the four years of the Great War. This book examines many of the ways in which the hostile struggle between the European powers brokered conflict and cooperation in this industrial community planted in the rural acres of Cheshire by the London and North Western Railway Company. A military tradition dating back to the town's earliest decades helps to explain the eager response by the young men of Crewe when war was declared in 1914.

Cosserat Plate Theory
English | 2023 | ISBN: 1032040238 | 183 Pages | PDF (True) | 16 MB
This book presents the foundation and validation of the Cosserat Plate Theory, numerical experiments of deformation and vibration, and the unique properties of the Cosserat plates. Our approach incorporates the high accuracy assumptions of the Cosserat plate deformation consistent with the Cosserat Elasticity equilibrium equations, constitutive formulas, strain-displacement and torsion-microrotation relations. The Cosserat Plate Theory is parametric, where the "splitting parameter" minimizes the Cosserat plate energy. The validation of the theory is based on the comparison with the three-dimensional Cosserat Elastostatics and Elastodynamics. The numerical results are obtained using the Finite Element Method (FEM) specifically developed to solve the parametric system of equations. The analysis of deformation of a variety of Cosserat plates shows the stress concentration reduction, higher stiffness of Cosserat plates, and the size-effect related to the microstructure. The analysis of vibration of Cosserat plates predicts size-related properties of the plate vibration, the existence of the additional so-called Cosserat plate resonances, and the dynamic anisotropy, related to the dependency of the resonances on the microelement's shapes and orientations.
