Free Download Writing Like an Engineer: A Rhetorical Education (Rhetoric, Knowledge, and Society Series) by Dorothy A. Winsor
English | March 1, 1996 | ISBN: 0805819576, 0805819584 | True EPUB/PDF | 132 pages | 0.2/8.7 MB
Comprised of a study spanning over five years, this text looks at four engineering co-op students as they write at work. Since the contributors have a foot in both worlds - work and school - the book should appeal to people who are interested in how students learn to write as well as people who are interested in what writing at work is like. Primarily concerned with whether engineers see their writing as rhetorical or persuasive, the study attempts to describe the students' changing understanding of what it is they do when they write.

Free Download Helen U. Agu, "Women and Wildlife Trafficking "
English | ISBN: 0367640260 | 2022 | 194 pages | PDF | 10 MB
This volume examines women and wildlife trafficking via a collection of narratives, case studies and theoretical syntheses from diverse voices and disciplines. Wildlife trafficking has been documented in over 120 countries around the world. While species extinction and animal abuse are major problems, wildlife trafficking is also associated with corruption, national insecurity, spread of zoonotic disease, undercutting sustainable development investments and erosion of cultural resources, among others. The role of women in wildlife trafficking has remained woefully under-addressed, with scientists and policymakers failing to consider the important causes and consequences of the gendered dimensions of wildlife trafficking. Although the roles of women in wildlife trafficking are mostly unknown, they are not unknowable. This volume helps fill a lacuna by examining the roles and experiences of women with case studies drawn from across the world, including Mexico, Cameroon, the Central African Republic, South Africa and Norway. Women can be wildlife trafficking preventors, perpetrators, and pawns; their roles in facilitating wildlife trafficking are considered from both a supply and a demand viewpoint. The first half of the book assesses the range of science, offering four different perspectives on how women and wildlife trafficking can be studied or evaluated. The second half of the book profiles diverse case studies from around the world, offering context-specific insight about on-the-ground activities associated with women and wildlife trafficking.

Künstliche Intelligenz ist mehr als ein Trendthema. Maschinelles Lernen und Sprachmodelle sind regelrecht Dynamiktreiber in vielen Entwicklungen. Wer erkennt, dass Wissen zum Grundkapital der Unternehmen gehört und dass Wissenskommunikation somit ein Schlüssel zum Erfolg ist, der kommt um die KI nicht herum. Sie gibt die Möglichkeit, das Wissensmanagement neu zu gestalten und sogar neu zu denken. Um all die Möglichkeiten, aber genauso die Anforderungen der KI im Einsatz für das Managen von Wissen zu erkennen, müssen wir insbesondere die Wirkungsweise und das Funktionieren der Sprachmodelle sowie des maschinellen Lernens verstehen. Auf diese Weise werden wir den Nutzwert des maschinellen Lernens erfahren und eine Vorstellung zu Assistenzsystemen entwickeln. KI ist weder Selbstläufer noch Heilsbringer, aber das Wissen im Unternehmen ist es wert, die Dinge neu zu denken und ausgetretene Pfade zu verlassen. Dieses Buch gibt sowohl theoretisches Basiswissen, Impulse als auch Handreichungen dafür.

Free Download Bruce Fleming, "What Does 'Art' Mean Now?"
English | ISBN: 1032446838 | 2023 | 220 pages | EPUB | 3 MB
What Does 'Art' Mean Now? asks, and answers, fundamental questions about the nature of aesthetic experience and role of the arts in contemporary society. The Modern Age, Romanticism and beyond, viewed art as something transcending and separated from life, and usually something encountered in museums or classrooms. Nowadays, however, art tends to be defined not by a commonly agreed-upon standard of "quality" or by its forms, such as painting and sculpture, but instead by political and ideological criteria. So how do we connect with the works in museums whose point was precisely that they stood apart from such considerations? Can we and should we be educated to "appreciate" art―and what does it do for us anyway? What are we to make of the so-different newer works―installations, performances, excerpts from the world―held to be art that increasingly make it into museums? Adopting a subjectivist approach, this book argues that in the absence of a universal judgment or standard of taste, the experience of art is one of freedom. The arts give us the means to conceptualize our lives, showing us ourselves as we are and as we might wish―or not wish―to be, as well as where we have been and where we are going. It will appeal to scholars of sociology, philosophy, museum studies, and art history, and to anyone interested in, or puzzled by, museums or college courses and their presentation of art today.
