 Free Download Cultural, Training and Educational Spaces: A Renewal of Relationships with Knowledge by Theodora Balmon, Bruno Garnier English | January 4, 2024 | ISBN: 1786309025 | 320 pages | MOBI | 2.46 Mb For two centuries, the school system has been a central point around which other players have gravitated: local authorities, voluntary organizations and the world of work. Over the course of the 20th century, this school centric configuration underwent a transformation, with local authorities tending to become integrated into the vertical culture of the school system. This was only the beginning of a process that brought schools and socio cultural players into constant contact.  Free Download Carlos Garrido Castellano, "Cultural Labour and Contemporary World Literatures in Portuguese " English | ISBN: 3031672127 | 2024 | 324 pages | EPUB | 3 MB This book examines the evolution of contemporary narrative in Portuguese from the point of view of cultural labour. The main objective of this volume is to analyse the panorama of contemporary literary fiction in Portuguese under the prism of the economization of cultural creativity and the expansion of neoliberal understanding of creative subjectivity and self-realization. Assuming that neoliberalism still constitutes a haunting presence that becomes present in ways that are far from universal and homogeneous and that are shaped by coloniality, this book expands the debates on cultural labour and literary materialisms beyond European and North American contexts. Dealing with contemporary literary production from Brazil, Portugal, Angola, Mozambique, Cabo Verde, Macau, Canada and Goa, the volume also tries to reimagine issues of cultural labour and the expansion of artistic modes of self-definition from the point of view of contemporary literary production in Portuguese.  Free Download Judith Vega, Pieter Boele van Hensbroek, "Cultural Citizenship in Political Theory" English | 2011 | ISBN: 1138798096, 0415696488 | EPUB | pages: 112 | 0.5 mb Cultural citizenship is a recently developed concept in discussions on multicultural society, the media society, consumerism, and political theory. It addresses the various ways in which citizenship is becoming mixed up with culture, either through globalisation processes (involving new cultural identities, immigrations, culture industries) or by increasingly life-style oriented types of action. In the face of these challenges, the good old notion of citizenship seems in need of some assistance.  Free Download Thomas M. Wilson, M. Estellie Smith, "Cultural Change And The New Europe: Perspectives On The European Community" English | 2019 | ISBN: 0813385172 | EPUB | pages: 244 | 0.6 mb Drawing on a range of nationalities and ethnic groups, the contributors in this volume focus on cultural and social processes of European integration in 1992. As a study of culture, nation, community and identity, the book offers a counterpoint to studies of political and economic integration.  Free Download Crystallography and Crystal Chemistry by Rick Ubic English | April 23, 2024 | ISBN: 3031497511 | 459 pages | MOBI | 36 Mb This textbook introduces readers to the language, concepts, and tools of crystallography, as well as many aspects of crystal chemistry. Important topics, such as bonding, electronegativity, lattice energy, symmetry operations, crystal defects, and structure-property relationships are covered. Worked examples are included where appropriate. By uniquely combining elements of crystallography and crystal chemistry, the text is a useful and accessible resource for students across many disciplines. Chapter summaries and example problems are included to optimize use by students and faculty in both graduate and undergraduate curricula. Historical context to relevant discoveries and biographical sketches of many of the scientists involved in the development of this field are also provided to expand the student's knowledge of both solid-state science and scientists.  Free Download H. Lee Fisher, "Crunch Time: to save our Constitution" English | 2020 | ISBN: 1478341998 | EPUB | pages: 144 | 0.3 mb How our political system was confiscated by liberals, our Constitution violated, the impact and a bold process to return to our Constitution  Free Download Daren C. Brabham, "Crowdsourcing in the Public Sector" English | 2016 | ISBN: 1626163790 | EPUB | pages: 120 | 0.9 mb Crowdsourcing is a term that was coined in 2006 to describe how the commercial sector was beginning to outsource problems or tasks to the public through an open call for solutions over the internet or social media. Crowdsourcing works to generate new ideas or develop innovative solutions to problems by drawing on the wisdom of the many rather than the few. US local government experimented with rudimentary crowdsourcing strategies as early as 1989, but in the last few years local, state, and federal government have increasingly turned to crowdsourcing to enhance citizen participation in problem solving, setting priorities, and decision making. While crowdsourcing in the public sector holds much promise and is part of a larger movement toward more citizen participation in democratic government, many challenges, especially legal and ethical issues, need to be addressed to successfully adapt it for use in the public sector.  Free Download Howard Jablon, "Crossroads Of Decision: The State Department and Foreign Policy, 1933-1937" English | 2002 | ISBN: 0813190576 | EPUB | pages: 196 | 0.2 mb In this provocative interpretation of New Deal diplomacy, Howard Jablon challenges the view that the State Department was wiser and more expert at international maneuver than was President Franklin D. Roosevelt in the early years of his presidency. These were years of growing world tension, with the preliminary shots of World War II being fired as Japan took over Manchuria, Italy made Ethiopia an extension of its new Roman Empire, and all the European great powers tried out their new weaponry in Spain. The author argues that the department's advice in this period actually led to unfortunate decisions which later had a considerable impact on events leading to World War II.  Free Download Benjamin Cohen, "Crossing Frontiers: Explorations In International Political Economy" English | 2021 | ISBN: 0813379903 | EPUB | pages: 336 | 0.6 mb For over a quarter of a century, the author ventured systematically into the emerging field of political economy. This book brings together for the first time a dozen of his essays.  Free Download Cross National Policies and Practices on Computers in Education By Tjeerd Plomp (auth.), Tjeerd Plomp, Ronald E. Anderson, Georgia Kontogiannopoulou-Polydorides (eds.) 1996 | 470 Pages | ISBN: 0792342178 | PDF | 6 MB This book presents some of the results from the second stage of lEA's study of Computers in Education (CompEd). lEA, the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement, conducts international comparative studies focussing on educational achievement, practices, and policies in various countries and education systems around the world. It has a Secretariat located in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. lEA studies have reported on a wide range of topics, each contributing to a deeper understanding of educational processes. The CompEd study is a project that sheds light on the way computers have been introduced in education and on how they are being used across the world today. The study proceeded in two stages with data collected for stage 1 in 1989 and for stage 2 in 1992. Results from both stages have been published in a variety of publications. This book reports about a special part of the study. Student achievement and school processes come into being in the context of the structure and the policies of national (or regional) education systems. The variety found in the CompEd results led us to ask how much might be explained by differences in these national or regional contexts. That is the reason the CompEd study took the initiative to invite the countries participating in the study, as well as some other countries that have had interesting developments in the domain of educational computers, to write a chapter describing their policies and practices regarding computers in education. |
