Water-Energy-Food Nexus and Climate Change in Cities by Lira Luz Benites Lazaro, Leandro Luiz Giatti, Laura S. Valente de Macedo, Jose A. Puppim de Oliveira English | 2022 | ISBN: 3031054717 | 341 pages | True PDF EPUB | 56.14 MB This book aims to contribute to the transdisciplinary study of the water-energy-food (WEF) nexus in cities and to help policy makers adopt a more integrated approach to natural resources management in urban environments to face the challenges and threats of climate change. This approach is based on a multidimensional scientific framework that seeks to understand the complex and non-linear interrelationships and interdependencies between water-energy-food under climate change and to generate solutions to reduce trade-offs among development goals and generate co-benefits that help encourage sustainable development and contribute to the achievement of SDGs, mainly SDG 11 (make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable) and SDG 13 (take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts). Governing the WEF nexus in cities is one of the greatest resource challenges of our time, as cities consume large amounts of WEF, but one that can also generate relevant alternatives with which to tackle climate change. To help fostering these alternatives, this book analyzes the governance, institutional and political economy factors that determine the effectiveness of the nexus approach and reviews the potential, the benefits and the policy implications of the adoption of the WEF nexus approach at the urban level. Through a series of hands-on cases, chapters in this book present the opportunities of the WEF nexus approach to achieve innovation and transformative change and discuss concrete areas of synergy and policy initiative to raise urban resilience. Water-Energy-Food Nexus and Climate Change in Cities will serve both as a guide for policy makers as well as a useful resource for students and researchers in fields such as urban studies, public health, environmental sciences, energy studies and public policy interested in learning how cities can represent possibilities to navigate and manage sustainability from local to global.  Voice Classification by Phonetography: A Manual for Voice Testing, Education, Therapy and Research by Hugo Lycke, Author; English | 2022 | ISBN: 1527586340 | 554 pages | True PDF | 7.48 MB This book provides an essential guideline for phoniatricians, ENT specialists, speech and voice therapists, vocal coaches, singing teachers, choir conductors, actors and singers, and everyone who is involved with phenomenon of the voice. As this text shows, phonetographic analysis of the speaking and singing voice has been proven to be of great help for students and teachers of drama and singing education. The book presents an age-related and gender-specific pattern card of the human voice, based on a step-by-step analysis of a database of more than 1000 phonetograms. This pattern card enables a basic voice classification of any subject, providing a guideline with useful information for voice education and voice therapy, as demonstrated by a selection of 152 figures and 72 tables, including some exceptional longitudinal phonetograms of actors and singers across a wide age range.  Variational Convergence And Stochastic Homogenization Of Nonlinear Reaction-diffusion Problems by Omar Anza Hafsa;Jean-philippe Mandallena;Gerard Michaille; English | 2022 | ISBN: 9811258481 | 321 pages | True PDF EPUB | 25.86 MB A substantial number of problems in physics, chemical physics, and biology, are modeled through reaction-diffusion equations to describe temperature distribution or chemical substance concentration. For problems arising from ecology, sociology, or population dynamics, they describe the density of some populations or species. In this book the state variable is a concentration, or a density according to the cases. The reaction function may be complex and include time delays terms that model various situations involving maturation periods, resource regeneration times, or incubation periods. The dynamics may occur in heterogeneous media and may depend upon a small or large parameter, as well as the reaction term. From a purely formal perspective, these parameters are indexed by n. Therefore, reaction-diffusion equations give rise to sequences of Cauchy problems.  Understanding Morality by Wayne Gustave Johnson; English | 2022 | ISBN: 1666721328 | 264 pages | True EPUB | 7.82 MB This book explains why moral systems necessarily develop and why they take the various forms that they do. Johnson argues that moral systems are best understood as attempts both to seek out ways of living a fulfilling human life and also to find ways of relating to others who also seek a fulfilling life. Philosophers generally agree that the moral pathway is also the fulfilling pathway. However, the moral pathways advocated and the kind of fulfillments envisioned depend upon beliefs about human nature as well as beliefs about the ultimate nature of things-a worldview. Aristotle, Epicurus, Saint Augustine, and Friedrich Nietzsche, for instance, had radically varying views about what constitutes a fulfilling life.  Understanding Human Life by Daniel Courgeau English | 2022 | ISBN: 3031161424 | 269 pages | True PDF EPUB | 7.81 MB This book addresses the challenge of understanding human life. It compares our life experience with the attempts to grasp it by astrologers, eugenicists, psychologists, neuroscientists, social scientists, and philosophers. The main opposition among these specialties lies between understanding and misunderstanding. The book also addresses the central methodological difficulty of capturing a human life.  Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence Implementation by Josef Baker-Brunnbauer English | 2023 | ISBN: 303118274X | 142 pages | True PDF EPUB | 7.94 MB Rapidly developing Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems hold tremendous potential to change various domains and exert considerable influence on societies and organizations alike. More than merely a technical discipline, AI requires interaction between various professions. Based on the results of fundamental literature and empirical research, this book addresses the management's awareness of the ethical and moral aspects of AI.  Trade Wars by Nils Ole Oermann;Hans-Jrgen Wolff; English | 2022 | ISBN: 0192848909 | 337 pages | True PDF | 8.98 MB This book explores the causes and instruments of 500 years of armed and non-armed international trade conflicts. Nils Ole Oermann and Hans-Jürgen Wolff draw on decades of experience to examine trade wars, economic sanctions, and different types of economic warfare, investigating their history, ethics, economic driving forces, and legality under current rules. They provide a clear and accessible account of the economics of trade, of trade and financial policy  Tonight's Dinner 2 by Liaw, Adam; English | 2022 | ISBN: 1743799047 | 439 pages | True EPUB | 181.41 MB Australia's favourite cook Adam Liaw is back with Tonight's Dinner 2 , the sequel to his bestselling recipe collection of mighty meals for every day featuring80 all-new recipes inspired by Adam's hit SBS series, The Cook Up .  Third-Wave Cognitive Therapy for the Treatment of Loss and Grief; A Clinician's Guide by Faramarz Hashempour English | 2022 | ISBN: 103210175X | 183 pages | True PDF | 8.25 MB This book proposes and explores a novel conceptualisation of the grieving process grounded in evolutionary psychology that integrates cognitive behavioural approaches such as compassion focused therapy, metacognitive awareness, and acceptance and commitment therapy.  Thinking About Statistics; The Philosophical Foundations by Jun Otsuka English | 2022 | ISBN: 1032326107 | 204 pages | True PDF | 17.14 MB Simply stated, this book bridges the gap between statistics and philosophy. It does this by delineating the conceptual cores of various statistical methodologies (Bayesian/frequentist statistics, model selection, machine learning, causal inference, etc.) and drawing out their philosophical implications. Portraying statistical inference as an epistemic endeavor to justify hypotheses about a probabilistic model of a given empirical problem, the book explains the role of ontological, semantic, and epistemological assumptions that make such inductive inference possible. From this perspective, various statistical methodologies are characterized by their epistemological nature: Bayesian statistics by internalist epistemology, classical statistics by externalist epistemology, model selection by pragmatist epistemology, and deep learning by virtue epistemology. |
