 Artificial Intelligence and Learning Futures: Critical Narratives of Technology and Imagination in Higher Education English | 2023 | ISBN: 103220852X | 228 Pages | PDF (True) | 2 MB  Art Heals: How Creativity Cures the Soul By Shaun McNiff 2004 | 256 Pages | ISBN: 1590301668 | EPUB | 1 MB The field of art therapy is discovering that artistic expression can be a powerful means of personal transformation and emotional and spiritual healing. In this book, Shaun McNiff, a leader in expressive arts therapy for more than three decades, reflects on a wide spectrum of activities aimed at reviving art's traditional healing function. In chapters ranging from "Liberating Creativity" and "The Practice of Creativity in the Workplace" to "From Shamanism to Art Therapy," he illuminates some of the most progressive views in the rapidly expanding field of art therapy:* The "practice of imagination" as a powerful force for transformation* A challenge to literal-minded psychological interpretations of artworks ("black colors indicate depression") and the principle that even disturbing images have inherent healing properties* The role of the therapist in promoting an environment conducive to free expression and therapeutic energies* The healing effects of group work, with people creating alongside one another and interacting in the studio* "Total expression," combining arts such as movement, storytelling, and drumming with painting and drawing  Archives in the Digital Age: Preservation and the Right to be Forgotten by Abderrazak Mkadmi English | PDF(True) | 2021 | 234 Pages | ISBN : 178630676X | 16.4 MB Archiving has become an increasingly complex process. The challenge is no longer how to store the data but how to store it intelligently, in order to exploit it over time, while maintaining its integrity and authenticity.  María Eugenia Molar Orozco, "Architecture For Health And Well-Being: A Sustainable Approach" English | ISBN: 1774910128 | 2022 | 324 pages | PDF | 85 MB This book explores the importance of architecture designed for the well-being of users. The creation of healthy architecture involves aspects of design, materials, environmental parameters, and intended use of both outdoor and indoor spaces to facilitate a healthy environment.  Archaeology and Text (Debates in Archaeology) By John Moreland 2001 | 176 Pages | ISBN: 0715629980 | PDF | 17 MB Archaeology and Text challenges traditional assumptions about the relationship between history and archaeology by re-evaluating the role of artefacts and documents in the reconstruction of the historical past. Previous attempts to create a rapprochement between the disciplines have been undermined by a failure to see artefacts and documents as anything more than simple sources of information about the past. The central argument of this concise and original book is that both must be seen in terms of their efficacy in the past, in particular as technologies of power and resistance. Drawing upon recent work in theoretical archaeology, John Moreland puts forward a series of case studies from early medieval Europe, early modern North America, and the prehistoric Near East to illustrate the ways in which both documents and artefacts were 'activated' in the reproduction and transformation of power and identity. The concluding chapter warns that any contribution these arguments may make to the better understanding of the historical past will be negated if we fail to appreciate the very real dangers posed, to all the peoples of the past, by the recent 'linguistic turn' in both disciplines.  Archaeology: A Beginner's Guide (Beginner's Guides) by Joe Flatman English | June 9, 2015 | ISBN: 1780745036 | 208 pages | EPUB | 1.98 Mb Whether it's Tomb Raider or Roman coins, the conventional view of archaeology as a discipline solely preoccupied with long dead cultures is misleading. In fact, archaeology is better described as a mode of thought - one by which we can better understand our past, present and future. Indeed, by studying artefacts of past human activity, we can even learn to better tackle great contemporary challenges like high population density and climate change.  Aquaculture Engineering by Odd-Ivar Lekang English | PDF | 2007 | 351 Pages | ISBN : 1405126108 | 12.7 MB As aquaculture continues to grow at a rapid pace, understanding the engineering behind aquatic production facilities is of increasing importance for all those working in the industry.  Approximation Theorems of Mathematical Statistics by Robert J. Serfling English | PDF | 1980 | 381 Pages | ISBN : 0471024031 | 21.1 MB Approximation Theorems of Mathematical Statistics  Applying Psychology to Criminal Justice by David Carson, Rebecca Milne, Francis Pakes, Karen Shalev, Andrea Shawyer English | PDF | 2007 | 321 Pages | ISBN : 0470015152 | 2 MB Few things should go together better than psychology and law - and few things are getting together less successfully. Edited by four psychologists and a lawyer, and drawing on contributions from Europe, the USA and Australia, Applying Psychology to Criminal Justice argues that psychology should be applied more widely within the criminal justice system. Contributors develop the case for successfully applying psychology to justice by providing a rich range of applicable examples for development now and in the future. Readers are encouraged to challenge the limited ambition and imagination of psychology and law by examining how insights in areas such as offender cognition and decision-making under pressure might inform future investigation and analysis.  Applying Lean Six Sigma in Health Care: A Practical Guide to Performance Improvement By Thomas K. Ross 2019 | 390 Pages | ISBN: 1284170756 | PDF | 79 MB Health care organizations are increasingly challenged by the need to provide high-quality, safe, and efficient patient care while keeping costs low. Lean Six Sigma, which provides a framework to improve quality and increase efficiency with clear and measurable outcomes, is an essential tool for managers to set the health care industry on a sustainable path. Written to address this growing demand for Lean Six Sigma expertise in healthcare organizations, Applying Lean Six Sigma in Health Care: A Practical Guide to Performance Improvement provides a step-by-step explanation of the Define-Measure-Analyze-Improve-Control (DMAIC) process as well as performance improvement techniques and terminology. With a focus on learning through doing, readers will actively engage the DMAIC process by applying it to an improvement project that is carried through the text. * An active learning approach where students read, calculate, write and reflect as they work through problem-solving exercises, case studies, and other activities. * An ongoing case study on improving pain management (in chapters 5 -10) that demonstrates a completed process. * A capstone project that engages students in applying all phases of DMAIC to complete a Lean Six Sigma project. * Excel practice throughout to show how data is summarized (Chapter 6), analyzed (Chapter 7), and reported (Chapter 9). * Excel files and templates (such as Gantt charts and Cause and Effect diagrams) that offer additional resources and examples provided online. |
