 Sets, Functions and Logic: Basic concepts of university mathematics by Keith J. Devlin English | PDF | 1981 | 99 Pages | ISBN : 041222660X | 3.6 MB The purpose of this book is to provide the student beginning undergraduate mathematics with a solid foundation in the basic logical concepts necessary for most of the subjects encountered in a university mathematics course.  Schrödinger Theory of Electrons: Complementary Perspectives English | 2022 | ISBN: 3030974081 | 706 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 49 MB This book presents a complementary perspective to Schrödinger theory of electrons in an electromagnetic field, one that does not appear in any text on quantum mechanics. The perspective, derived from Schrödinger theory, is that of the individual electron in the sea of electrons via its temporal and stationary-state equations of motion - the 'Quantal Newtonian' Second and First Laws. The Laws are in terms of 'classical' fields experienced by each electron, the sources of the fields being quantum-mechanical expectation values of Hermitian operators taken with respect to the wave function. Each electron experiences the external field, and internal fields representative of properties of the system, and a field descriptive of its response. The energies are obtained in terms of the fields. The 'Quantal Newtonian' Laws lead to physical insights, and new properties of the electronic system are revealed. New mathematical understandings of Schrödinger theory emerge which show the equation to be intrinsically self-consistent.  Schizophrenia and Genetics: The End of an Illusion by Jay Joseph English | April 13, 2017 | ISBN: 1483598187 | True EPUB | 185 pages | 1.4 MB We are approaching a period of crisis and reevaluation in the behavioral genetics and psychiatric genetics fields, as attempts to discover "genes for behavior" have, with possible rare exceptions, been unsuccessful. Schizophrenia is the most investigated psychiatric disorder, yet although there have been many claims of gene "association," decades of molecular genetic studies have failed to produce a single causative gene. In an official 2013 press release, the American Psychiatric Association admitted that psychiatry and its psychiatric genetics subfield are "still waiting" for the identification of "biological and genetic markers" for psychiatric disorders. Although some gene discovery claims have appeared since then, psychiatry continues to "wait."  Jeremy Brecher, "Save the Humans?: Common Preservation in Action" English | 2011 | ISBN: 162963798X, 1612050964 | 254 pages | PDF | 15.5 MB Today our individual self-interest depends on what the author calls common preservation-cooperation to provide for mutual well-being. But is that possible? As world leaders fail to cooperate to address climate change, nuclear proliferation, economic meltdown, and other threats to our survival, more and more people experience a pervasive sense of denial and despair. But common preservation can reshape the human future. Jeremy Brecher has seen common preservation in action, and in Save the Humans? he shows how it works. From Gandhi's civil disobedience campaigns in India, to the Solidarity movement that initiated the end of Communism in Eastern Europe, to the 2011 uprisings throughout the Middle East and in the U.S. Middle West as well, Brecher shows what we can learn from the history of past social movements to help us confront today's global threats of climate change, war and domination, and economic chaos.
 Neela Riley, "Sausage Recipes That are Not Snacks Only!: Amazing Sausage Cookbook to Thrill Your Tummy!!" English | 2022 | ASIN: B0B5CYQ6M5, B0B4L6VTKD | EPUB | pages: 70 | 2.9 mb Amongst the wide range of food items that are being employed in cooking by humans, Sausage has a very bad PR.  Giovanni Carbone, "SOUTH AFRICA: The Need for Change " English | ISBN: 886705547X | 2016 | 144 pages | EPUB | 2 MB Has the new South Africa - once an inspiring "rainbow nation" - failed the expectations it had generated? Is the country now in a crisis? Two decades after the end of the apartheid regime, Africa's southernmost state faces multiple political, economic and social challenges. A lackluster growth performance is compounded by mounting corruption and political turbulence, as well as by the frustration of many ordinary citizens who expected much more rapid social and economic improvement. Labour strikes, student protests and anti-immigrant riots have all been on the rise. As a clear sign of increasing dissatisfaction, uncertainty and decline, the ruling African National Congress recently ran into its worst electoral result ever - if still only at local levels. Meanwhile, Jacob Zuma's embattled presidency, marred by allegations of corruption and political cronyism, sent South Africa's international image plummeting alongside the Rand, the national currency. This volume sheds light on the current difficulties and discusses future prospects. The "new" South Africa is a country in dire need for change.

Russia and the Future of Europe: Views from the Capitals English | 2022 | ISBN: 3030956474 | 278 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 2.3 MB This book sheds light on how Member States and EU neighbours relate to Russia. It includes their historical, financial and political ties, as well as the public perception of the national population vis-à-vis Russia. Each chapter builds on these factors to elucidate the country's position towards Russia and provides a prediction on the future of these relations. This volume shows the diverse relations that the EU member states and neighbours have with Russia, spanning from tense and confrontational to more eased and friendly, highlighting the contrasts between the national state and the EU as a whole. The book also presents the reader with concrete aspects in different policy areas, via recommendations on how single countries and the EU should deal with Russia. Russia's invasion of Ukraine on 24th February 2022 will change the relationship between the West and Putin's Russia for decades to come. No doubt that this blatant violation of International Law and the incomprehensible human suffering of Ukrainian citizens will massively change the attitude of the countries analysed in this book.
 Rubrics - a tool for feedback and assessment viewed from different perspectives: Enhancing learning and assessment quality by Ivo de Boer English | EPUB | 2021 | 59 Pages | ISBN : 3030868478 | 11.1 MB This IAMSE Manual describes how to use rubrics in higher education, especially in the highly specialized health sciences education setting. The book provides a conceptual framework, practices and a series of checklists that lecturers can use to design their own rubrics for a variety of situations and content. It highlights varying perspectives, from teachers, students, educational advisors, and curriculum managers, while providing practical tips for developing and using rubrics.  Rock Art and Memory in the Transmission of Cultural Knowledge English | 2022 | ISBN: 303096941X | 541 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 77 MB This book shares timely and thought-provoking methodological and theoretical approaches from perspectives concerning landscape, gender, cognition, neural networks, material culture and ontology in order to comprehend rock art's role in memorisation processes, collective memory, and the intergenerational circulation of knowledge. The case studies offered here stem from human experiences from around the globe―Africa, Australia, Europe, North and South America―, which reflects the authors' diverse interpretative stances. While some of the approaches deal with mnemonics, new digital technologies and statistical analysis, others examine performances, sensory engagement, language, and political disputes, giving the reader a comprehensive view of the myriad connections between memory studies and rock art. Indigenous interlocutors participate as collaborators and authors, creating space for Indigenous narratives of memory. These narratives merge with Western versions of past and recent memories in order to construct jointly novel inter-epistemic understandings of images made on rock. Each chapter demonstrates the commitment of rock art studies to strengthen and enrich the field by exploring how communities and cultures across time have perceived and entangled rock images with a broad range of material culture, nonhumans, people, emotions, performances, sounds and narratives. Such relations are pivotal to understanding the universe behind the intersections of memory and rock art and to generating future interdisciplinary collaborative studies. |
