It also offers practical insights into transportation operation under such conditions.
 International Perspectives on Teacher Knowledge, Beliefs and Opportunities to Learn: TEDS-M Results By Sigrid Blömeke (auth.), Sigrid Blömeke, Feng-Jui Hsieh, Gabriele Kaiser, William H. Schmidt (eds.) 2014 | 592 Pages | ISBN: 9400764367 | PDF | 10 MB This book offers results from the comparative "Teacher Education and Development Study - Learning to Teach Mathematics (TEDS-M)". Carried out under the auspices of the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA), more than 23,000 mathematics teachers at the primary and lower secondary levels from 16 countries were tested at the end of the teacher education on their mathematics and mathematics pedagogical content knowledge as well as surveyed on their beliefs and their opportunities to learn. In addition, representative samples of teacher educators and training institutions were surveyed. TEDS-M analyses in particular the relationship between teacher education policies, practices and outcomes.  International Handbook of Teaching and Learning in Health Promotion : Practices and Reflections from Around the World by Marco Akerman  International Education Hubs: Student, Talent, Knowledge-Innovation Models By Jane Knight (auth.), Jane Knight (eds.) 2014 | 251 Pages | ISBN: 9400770243 | PDF | 2 MB Education hubs are the newest development in the international higher education landscape. Countries, zones and cities are trying to position themselves as reputed centres for higher education and research. But given higher education's current preoccupation with competitiveness, branding, and economic benefits are education hubs merely a fad, a branding exercise, or are they an important innovation worthy of serious investment and attention? This book tries to answer the question through a systematic and comparative analysis of the rationales, actors, policies, plans and accomplishments for six serious country level education hubs - United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Singapore and Botswana . The in-depth case studies shows that "one size does not fit all". A variety of factors drive countries to prepare and position themselves as an education hub. They include income generation, soft power, modernization of domestic tertiary education sector, economic competitiveness, need for trained work force, and most importantly a desire to move towards a knowledge or service based economy. In response to these different motivations, three different types of education hubs are being developed: the student hub, talent hub, and knowledge/innovation hub.Scholars, policy makers, professionals, students and senior decision makers from education, economics, geography, public policy, trade, migration will find that this book challenges some assumptions about crossborder education and provides new insights and information.

 Stacey M. Mitchell, "Institutional Legacies, Decision Frames and Political Violence in Rwanda and Burundi " English | ISBN: 1138579432 | 2018 | 234 pages | EPUB | 2 MB Rwanda and Burundi are strikingly similar countries that underwent democratization in the early 1990s. In both, resistance to democratic reforms led to coups d'état and presidential assassinations. A conundrum arises in terms of what transpires next. In Rwanda, total genocide was perpetrated by extremist Hutu actors, including government officials, upon the country's Tutsi and politically moderate Hutu populations. In Burundi the coup d'état failed and instead ushered in a lengthy period of civil war. This divergence in outcome is puzzling given the similarity of these two countries, and it is not adequately explained by studies that address collective violence in each.  F. C. Campbell, "Inspection of Metals: Understanding the Basics" English | 2013 | pages: 582 | ISBN: 1627080007 | PDF | 9,8 mb This book covers the technology of inpsection of metals, the main emphasis on final part inspection at the manufacturing facility or on receipt at the user's facility. The unique feature of this book is that it provides an intermediate level introduction to the different methods used to inspect metals and finished parts and a more detailed review of the specific inspection methods for important metal product forms. The book is divided into two parts: Part I gives the basics of the most important methods used for inspection and testing, while Part II covers the types of methods used to inspect different classes of metallic parts. The advantages and limitations of each method are discussed, including when other methods may be warranted. In particular, the chapters on specific product forms (e.g., castings) compare the different inspection methods and why they are used.

Emma Donoghue, "Inseparable: Desire Between Women in Literature" English | 2011 | ISBN: 157344717X, 0307270947 | 273 pages | EPUB | 3.5 MB Emma Donoghue examines how desire between women in English literature has been portrayed, from schoolgirls and vampires to runaway wives, from cross-dressing knights to contemporary murder stories. She looks at the work of those writers who have addressed the "unspeakable subject," examining whether same-sex desire is freakish or omnipresent, holy or evil, as she excavates a long-obscured tradition of (inseparable) friendship between women, one that is surprisingly central to our cultural history. Donoghue explores the writing of Sade, Balzac, Hardy, Wilkie, Sayers, Highsmith and more to reveal the half-dozen contrasting girl-girl Descriptions that have been told and retold over the centuries; the paranormal identities assigned to women who desire other women; the ubiquity of same-sex attraction in crime fiction; and the contemporary narratives of coming out privately and publicly. Inseparable is a revelation of a centuries-old literary tradition - brilliant, amusing, and until now, deliberately overlooked.
