 Danks, David Danks, Emiliano Ippoliti, "Building Theories: Heuristics and Hypotheses in Sciences" English | 2018 | pages: 282 | ISBN: 3319727869 | PDF | 4,0 mb This book explores new findings on the long-neglected topic of theory construction and discovery, and challenges the orthodox, current division of scientific development into discrete stages: the stage of generation of new hypotheses; the stage of collection of relevant data; the stage of justification of possible theories; and the final stage of selection from among equally confirmed theories. The chapters, written by leading researchers, offer an interdisciplinary perspective on various aspects of the processes by which theories rationally should, and descriptively are, built. They address issues such as the role of problem-solving and heuristic reasoning in theory-building; how inferences and models shape the pursuit of scientific knowledge; the relation between problem-solving and scientific discovery; the relative values of the syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic view of theories in understanding theory construction; and the relation between ampliative inferences, heuristic reasoning, and models as a means for building new theories and knowledge. Through detailed arguments and examinations, the volume collectively challenges the orthodox view's main tenets by characterizing the ways in which the different "stages" are logically, temporally, and psychologically intertwined. As a group, the chapters provide several attempts to answer long-standing questions about the possibility of a unified conceptual framework for building theories and formulating hypotheses.  Building A Global Information Assurance Program By Raymond J. Curts, Douglas E. Campbell 2003 | 422 Pages | ISBN: 0849313686 | PDF | 3 MB Governments, their agencies, and businesses are perpetually battling to protect valuable, classified, proprietary, or sensitive information but often find that the restrictions imposed upon them by information security policies and procedures have significant, negative impacts on their ability to function. These government and business entities are beginning to realize the value of information assurance (IA) as a tool to ensure that the right information gets to the right people, at the right time, with a reasonable expectation that it is timely, accurate, authentic, and uncompromised.Intended for those interested in the construction and operation of an IA or Information Security (InfoSec) program, Building a Global Information Assurance Program describes the key building blocks of an IA development effort including:·Information Attributes·System Attributes·Infrastructure or Architecture·Interoperability·IA Tools ·Cognitive Hierarchies·Decision Cycles·Organizational Considerations·Operational ConceptsBecause of their extensive and diverse backgrounds, the authors bring a unique perspective to current IT issues. The text presents their proprietary process based on the systems development life cycle (SDLC) methodology specifically tailored for an IA program. This process is a structured, cradle-to-grave approach to IA program development, from program planning and design to implementation, support, and phase out. Building a Global Information Assurance Program provides a proven series of steps and tasks that you can follow to build quality IA programs faster, at lower costs, and with less risk.  Michael J.

 Bragg Healthy Heart, Revised: Keep Your Cardiovascular System Healthy & Fit at Any Age By Patricia Bragg, Paul Bragg 2001 | 260 Pages | ISBN: 0877900965 | PDF | 6 MB Having experienced heart disease first-hand in three close relatives, and seeing the crippling effects of this debilitating disease (taking lots of medicines and their side effects), I thought I knew everything about the disease, particularly the treatment side - the drugs, the surgeries, the stents. But I didn't know that much about the prevention side, and that is what this book is all about. How to prevent it.I was curious about what the authors Paul and Patricia Bragg had to say about preventing heart disease. So I bought this easy to read book, and have learned quite a bit from it. It is packed with plenty of practical advice, including facts about heart disease and longevity. As I read the topics on stress, exercise, different studies and vitamins, I realized that this book was more than a book on cardiovascular fitness. It was a wonderful book that encompassed a healthy way of life, that anyone could utilize. This book is for everyone, not just heart patients. I thoroughly enjoyed reading the book, particularly the fasting for a day. This is a not a new concept for me - fasting. However, the type of fast that is described - an 8-10 glass water fast, with 3 glasses water with vinegar and honey, was intriguing. They explained that during the fast, toxins will be released from the body, and people will experience such things as headaches, diarrhea, etc. but that it will go away over time. I I especially liked it when they stated that the cholesterol will drop as a result of the fasting. So I tried the fast, and I tested my cholesterol. To my amazement, my cholesterol (which is typically borderline) was around 173. I will try it once more in the future to verify the findings. Although I agreed with most of the material in the book, there is one section that I defer on - the authors tout that distilled water is the best water to drink. I personally like reverse osmosis water because it is more effective and removes even more chemicals than does distilled water. Finally, one interesting story I liked was when Paul Bragg taveled the world looking for centenearians, and found a man in Turkey who was 154 years old and still working as a baggage porter. He was healthy and his simple diet consisted of dates, olives, day old black bread, garlic, vegetables and tea. This book is definately worth reading and I recommend it highly.

I have a PHD in exercise physiology. The reason I created this book is because I don't want people to go through what I went through. Decades of learning, trial and error is compressed into this book. My goal is to spread valuable information to the mass media so that people can improve their health & wellness. Get this book to cut your learning curve and get the body you want in a shorter amount of time. Building up the muscles and getting in shape is the dream of each one of us. Besides a good health sign, a body in good shape becomes ideal and attractive. In bodybuilding, we train our body to build muscles by promoting and boosting up natural muscle growth through wisely planned exercises and healthy eating. In older times, shaping or building up the body was considered as a sport, but now it has become a craze, a trend or a fashion more than a sport or professionalism. Actually, bodybuilding is a technique to build beautiful and powerful muscles through progressive resistance exercise. It is also said that bodybuilding not only builds great muscles but also trains minds. In bodybuilding, progression day after day gives you self-confidence and self-esteem that not only strengthens your body but also your mind. Being a fitness trainer, I myself trained by attitude while training my body. In the beginning, you may find bodybuilding a daunting experience due to its traditional tiresome routine and your mindset towards bodybuilding. If you have a little knowledge about bodybuilding, then you will soon tired of your routine workouts and consider it a puzzle that you cannot solve.  Beth A.

For all of the energy that the far right has demonstrated-and for all of the support that they receive from institutional conservatives in the GOP and affiliated organizations-the United States is experiencing an upsurge in left-wing social movements unlike any other in the past half-century, with roots not in the Democratic Party but Occupy Wall Street and Black Lives Matter.  Blender 3D By Example: A project-based guide to learning the latest Blender 3D, EEVEE rendering engine, and Grease Pencil, 2nd Edition by Oscar Baechler  Charlotte Epstein, "Birth of the State: The Place of the Body in Crafting Modern Politics" English | ISBN: 0190917628, 0190917636 | 2020 | PDF | 340 pages | 20 MB This book uses the body to peel back the layers of time and taken-for-granted ideas about the two defining political forms of modernity, the state and the subject of rights. It traces, under the lens of the body, how the state and the subject mutually constituted each other all the way down, by going all the way back, to their original crafting in the seventeenth century. It considers two revolutions. The first, scientific, threw humanity out of the centre of the universe, and transformed the very meanings of matter, space, and the body; while the second, legal and political, re-established humans as the centre-point of the framework of modern rights. |
