 Freda Adler, "The Legacy of Anomie Theory " English | ISBN: 1138536555 | 2020 | 450 pages | MOBI | 4 MB This sixth volume Advances in Criminological Theory is testimony to a resurgent interest in anomie-strain theory, which began in the mid-1980s and continues unabated into the 1990s. Contributors focus on the new body of empirical research and theorizing that has been added to the anomie tradition that extends from Durkheim to Merton. The first section is a major, 75-page statement by Robert K. Merton, examining the development of the anomie-and-opportunity-struc-ture paradigm and its significance to criminology.The Legacy of Anomie Theory assesses the theory's continuing usefulness, explains the relevance of Merton's concept of goals/means disparity as a psychological mechanism in the explanation of delinquency, and compares strain theory with social control theory. A macrosociological theoretical formulationis used to explain the association between societal development and crime rates. In other chapters, anomie is used to explain white-collar crime and to explore the symbiotic relationship between Chinese gangs and adult criminal organizations within the cultural, economic, and political context of the American-Chinese community.Contributors include: David F. Greenberg, Sir Leon Radzinowicz, Richard Rosenfeld, Steven F. Messner, David Weisburd, Ellen Chayet, Ko-lin Chin, Jeffrey Pagan, John P. Hoffmann, Timothy Ireland, S. George Vincent-nathan, Michael J. Lynch, W. Byron Groves, C. Ray Jeffery, Gilbert Geis, Thomas J. Bernard, Nikos Passas, Robert Agnew, Gary F. Jensen, Deborah V. Cohen, Elin Waring, and Bonnie Berry.

The Left Side or Right Side of the Brain: Understanding Cognitive Dominance English | 22 Oct. 2023 | ASIN: B0CNVC8GXM | 64 pages | EPUB (True) | 209.72 KB The human brain is an intricate organ that controls our thoughts, emotions, and actions. It is divided into two halves, the left and right hemispheres, each with its own set of functions and cognitive abilities. The left hemisphere of the brain is in charge of logic, language processing, and analytical thinking. It enables us to solve difficulties, comprehend complex concepts, and effectively communicate. The right hemisphere, on the other hand, is related to creativity, intuition, and holistic thinking. It enables us to enjoy art, perceive patterns, and engage in creative endeavors. These hemispheres collaborate to create the intricate, multifaceted entities that we are. However, not all brains are the same, and this is especially noticeable in people who are left-handed as opposed to right-handed. Left-handed people frequently have stronger right-hemisphere dominance, which leads to increased creativity and artistic ability. They excel in fields like music, painting, and writing. This variability in brain lateralization contributes to the richness of human skill and ingenuity, reminding us that when it comes to the complexities of the human mind, there is no one-size-fits-all solution.

The Learning Grid Handbook: Concepts, Technologies and Applications - Volume 2 The Future of Learning By S. Salerno, M. Gaeta, P. Ritrovato, N. Capuano, F. Orciuoli, S. Miranda, A. Pierri 2008 | 260 Pages | ISBN: 158603829X | PDF | 5 MB Grid technologies are rising with the next generation of Internet by defining a powerful computing paradigm. Grid could be used as a technology 'glue' providing users with a uniform way to access resources by means of several devices. These technologies can provide a support for Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) by enabling new learning environments based on collaboration, real direct experience, personalization, ubiquity, accessibility and contextualization. Nevertheless, to be effectively used in TEL, Grid must be complemented with other elements like semantics and educational modeling; leading to the concept of 'Learning Grid' as defined in the homonymous Special Interest Group (SIG) of the European Network of Excellence 'Kaleidoscope: Shaping the Scientific Evolution of Technology Enhanced Learning'. The key challenge that Kaleidoscope is facing is the scientific and structural integration of the European TEL research. In this context, the Learning Grid SIG aims at contributing to the achievement of an improvement in TEL practices through the definition of open, distributed and pervasive environments for effective human learning taking into account that effective learning requires an active attitude of learners and that learning is a social and collaborative activity so requiring a technology that allows for active and realistic experiments, personalization, knowledge creation and evolution, as well as autonomous and dynamic creation of communities. The first section of the book is about the concept of Learning Grid and related technologies. The second chapter analyses and compares existing languages for the dynamic composition of distributed learning resources and services in aLearning Grid.IOS Press is an international science, technical and medical publisher of high-quality books for academics, scientists, and professionals in all fields.
