![]() Creative Problem Solving Taking Imagination Through to Action English | 2017 | ISBN: 978-8740306767 | 95 Pages | EPUB | 1.3 MB Debunking the perceived mysteries and complexities of creativity and problem-solving. Most people when challenged to describe how they do their day job, be it pilot, doctor, or accountant, can do this as they know how they do what they do. Ask the same people to describe how they 'do' creativity and the response will rarely be as clear, often a series of vague words using phrases like 'out of the box, brainstorming, stage gates etc.'. People talk about creativity not what they 'do' in order to be creative. This book will change that. We are all creative problem solvers because everyone in their life has at some point had to solve a problem in a new way. However, because it happens by accident it cannot be repeated and performance cannot be improved. As any sports coach will tell you, one had first to be aware of how one does something in order to focus on the parts and them improve all of the elements before putting it all back together again. ![]() Creating Authentic Assertion Part III - Assertive Development Trilogy English | 2019 | ISBN: 978-8740305722 | 92 Pages | EPUB | 3 MB Be the best version of yourself with the help of this Assertive Development Trilogy finale.

It teaches students how to use cutting-edge computational techniques, mathematical tools, and statistical methodologies, with a focus on real-life applications. ![]() Constituent Order in Language and Thought: A Case Study in Field-Based Psycholinguistics English | 2023 | ISBN: 1108844030 | 271 Pages | PDF | 6 MB Traditionally, due to the availability of technology, psycholinguistic research has focused mainly on Western languages. However, this focus has recently shifted towards a more diverse range of languages, whose structures often throw into question many previous assumptions in syntactic theory and language processing. Based on a case study in field-based comparative psycholinguistics, this pioneering book is the first to explore the neurocognition of endangered 'object-before-subject' languages, such as Kaqchikel and Seediq. It draws on a range of methods - including linguistic fieldwork, theoretical linguistic analysis, corpus research, questionnaire surveys, behavioural experiments, eye tracking, event-related brain potentials, functional magnetic resonance imaging, and near-infrared spectroscopy - to consider preferred constituent orders in both language and thought, examining comprehension as well as production. In doing so, it highlights the importance of field-based cross-linguistic cognitive neuroscientific research in uncovering universal and language-particular aspects of the human language faculty, and the interaction between language and thought. ![]() Connected Leadership The Key To Success In A 21st Century Company English | 2018 | ISBN: 978-8740321746 | 66 Pages | EPUB | 2 MB The bottom line is exemplary leadership is a multiplier effect. If leaders are focused on developing and exhibiting connected leadership characteristics, this creates a ripple effect across the entire organization - from cross-functional leadership, to down the leadership chain, to the individual contributor level. Everyone can benefit from working under a leader who exemplifies connected leadership behaviors and everyone can exhibit these traits themselves, regardless of where they are in the organizational chart, for maximum impact in their own careers. ![]() Computational Techniques for Text Summarization based on Cognitive Intelligence English | 2023 | ISBN: 1032392827 | 229 Pages | PDF (True) | 12 MB The book is concerned with contemporary methodologies used for automatic text summarization. It proposes interesting approaches to solve well-known problems on text summarization using computational intelligence (CI) techniques including cognitive approaches. A better understanding of the cognitive basis of the summarization task is still an open research issue; an extent of its use in text summarization is highlighted for further exploration. With the ever-growing text, people in research have little time to spare for extensive reading, where summarized information helps for a better understanding of the context at a shorter time. ![]() Community-based Language Learning: A Framework for Educators By Joan Clifford, Deborah S. Reisinger 2018 | 216 Pages | ISBN: 1626166366 | PDF | 4 MB Community-Based Language Learning offers the first manual for world language educators interested in community-based learning (CBL). CBL includes pedagogical approaches that connect academic learning objectives with experiential learning, ranging from reciprocal partnerships with the community (e.g., community engagement, service-learning) to one-directional learning situations (e.g., community service, site visits, etc.).Despite this method's wide use, there is a lack of pedagogical resources in CBL for language educators. This handbook prepares teachers for community-based language learning (CBLL) by offering solid theoretical frameworks and well-designed, engaging exercises that help students build authentic relationships as they engage with world language communities in the US. Case studies based on interviews with community members and students provide real-world examples that foster thoughtful reflection. Activities in each chapter explore modes of written and oral communication that foster second language development. The authors have extensive experience in this area and bring their knowledge to this project. ![]() Communicating Politics Online: Disruption and Democracy English | 2023 | ISBN: 3031240553 | 176 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 3 MB This second edition explores the relationship between politics and media, with a particular emphasis on the significant disruptive changes to media and technology that have faced journalists, campaigners, and the public in recent years. The first edition, in 2014, described the earliest elements of social and online media: Web 2.0, the 'information economy,' and the changes from traditional broadcast media to the early online world. With the rise of TikTok, the 'fake news' claims of Donald Trump, the decline of local news, and the anti-democratic impulses that drove the January 6, 2021 coup attempts, the last decade has provided a rich and sometimes confounding set of disruptions to political communication that deserve attention. Technology has disrupted political communication in the online environment exceptionally quickly over the last decade, and this book provides a framework for understanding the intersections of these disruptions and their effect on an already-fragile democratic circumstance in the United States. ![]() Commodities for Dummies by Bouchentouf, Amine; English | 2023 | ISBN: 1394155158 | 371 pages | True PDF EPUB | 11.98 MB |
