Hizi, Gil. Self-Development Ethics and Politics in China Today. Amsterdam University Press, 2024. https://doi.org/10.5117/9789463723992.
Full textAbstract:
This volume takes readers on a journey into a central aspect of life in China, so-called “self-development.” Whether prompted by the cultural values of educational success, capitalist competition for wealth, or the Chinese Communist Party’s prescriptions for “good” citizenship, few people in China are immune to the impetus to “improve” themselves and thus bring about a better future. Contributors to this volume, interdisciplinary sinologists, draw on materials from practices in education, labor, and self-help as they spotlight “keywords” by which individuals make sense of their self-development journeys – including new forms of resistance to social norms. Rather than simply classify self-development by different activities or groups, the chapters map together ethical features that cut across Chinese society. Contributors explore the nuanced and ambivalent attitudes towards self-development of individuals navigating various requirements and pursuing more complete forms of existence. In so doing, they offer a snapshot of China that intersects with timely global concerns.

Full textAbstract:
What did it mean to be a stranger in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century England? How were other nations, cultures, and religions perceived? What happened when individuals moved between languages, countries, religions, and spaces? Keywords of Identity, Race, and Human Mobility analyses a selection of terms that were central to the conceptualisation of identity, race, migration, and transculturality in the early modern period. In many cases, the concepts and debates that they embody – or sometimes subsume – came to play crucial roles in the articulation of identity, rights, and power in subsequent periods. Together, the essays in this volume provide an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the development of these formative issues.

Full textAbstract:
The multidimensional open epistemological active network MOGAN is the basis for the transition to a qualitatively new level of creating logical artificial intelligence. Mivar databases and rules became the foundation for the creation of MOGAN. The results of the analysis and generalization of data representation structures of various data models are presented: from relational to "Entity — Relationship" (ER-model). On the basis of this generalization, a new model of data and rules is created: the mivar information space "Thing-Property-Relation". The logic-computational processing of data in this new model of data and rules is shown, which has linear computational complexity relative to the number of rules. MOGAN is a development of Rule - Based Systems and allows you to quickly and easily design algorithms and work with logical reasoning in the "If..., Then..." format. An example of creating a mivar expert system for solving problems in the model area "Geometry"is given. Mivar databases and rules can be used to model cause-and-effect relationships in different subject areas and to create knowledge bases of new-generation applied artificial intelligence systems and real-time mivar expert systems with the transition to"Big Knowledge". 
 The textbook in the field of training "Computer Science and Computer Engineering" is intended for students, bachelors, undergraduates, postgraduates studying artificial intelligence methods used in information processing and management systems, as well as for users and specialists who create mivar knowledge models, expert systems, automated control systems and decision support systems.

This book presents the proceedings of the conference held in Florence on 7 and 8 May 2009 upon the conclusion of a MUIR study. The inspiration behind it can be summarised in two keywords. The first is "modernity", because it focuses on the sectors of criminal liability of the doctor and the entrepreneur, those that have been most dramatically affected by social change and technological developments, straining to the limit the "classic" configuration of criminal law categories. The second is "case law", in the sense that we have sought to focus on the reality of living law and to investigate the concepts of the causality, blame and complicity of individuals as they are actually illustrated by precedents.

Full textAbstract:
The rise of globalisation has made it necessary for breakthroughs in scientific and technological fields in the direction of their usability, utilising efficient management practices and ethical methods. This, in turn, has powerfully stimulated the opening of new avenues of study to meet the developing patterns across all industries and service sectors over time. The progress and development that have resulted from the contributions of research done in the past have been only temporary. However, it was unable to fully measure the methodical sequences in terms of progress throughout to fulfil humanity's general needs in terms of establishing sustenance and stability. This was a limitation of the technology. This may be due to a lack of investigations being integrated across different fields and their integrity being maintained towards increasing overall societal welfare. In addition, the problem persists because of a concentration on a single discipline, which means that the integration viewpoint towards multiple streams, their research fields, and their contributions is not entirely integrated. The point of carrying out any study is to convey knowledge, and this process is fundamentally intertwined with various applications to attain socio-economic development in communities. In addition, the present state of the world is in a constant state of flux, which calls for well-balanced expansion and dissemination in every facet of adequate means of subsistence. As a result, maintaining one's lifestyle will become more difficult in the years to come. This forces the sharing of information via the gathering of research that spans inter-disciplines and multi-disciplines to advance socio-economic growth as a whole. Keeping these considerations in mind, the international conference's purpose is to significantly impact the paradigms governing the most cutting-edge research in engineering and technology. In order to assist the rearing of total sustenance and bring about a remarkable development capable of meeting the difficulties of the future, the conference seeks to have knowledge integration via an awareness of the many studies. The Sri Venkateshwaraa College of Technology conceived of and organised the international conference, which took place on March 26 and 27, 2022, and was aimed at evaluating and collecting the engineering and technological contributions made across the country the world in preparation for the dissemination of knowledge.

Full textAbstract:
Curriculum Decisions Matters Effective curriculum decision making is the backbone of exceptional education. It has the power to inspire, engage, and transform students, teachers, and entire learning communities. Yet, for many educators and educational leaders, curriculum development and implementation can be a daunting and complex task. The ever-changing educational landscape, diverse student needs, and competing stakeholder demands can make it challenging to create and implement a curriculum that truly supports student success for their life and career. “Empowering Educators: Mastering Curriculum Decision Making” is designed to address this critical need. This book provides educators with the knowledge, competence, and confidence to take ownership of curriculum decision making, ensuring that every student receives a high-quality education. Curriculum decisions directly influence what students learn, how they learn, and the overall quality of their educational experience. A well-designed curriculum ensures alignment with institutional, local, and national educational goals, standards, and policies. Curriculum decisions shape teaching methodologies, instructional strategies, and assessment approaches. It affects student achievement, engagement, motivation, and future career prospects. Curriculum decision making involves teachers in professional development, fostering collaboration, and expertise, reflect societal values, cultural norms, and community expectations, help prepare students for an evolving, complex, and interconnected world, influence resource allocation, including budgeting, staffing, and infrastructure. Curriculum decisions ensure accountability to stakeholders, including parents, policymakers, and the broader community and facilitate adaptability to changing educational landscapes, technologies, and societal needs. Written for teachers, school leaders, educators, educational leader, education decision makers and education policymakers, this comprehensive guide offers different attributes to be considered in framing curriculum, delivering the content and assessing the students, to empower educators to navigate the complexities of educational policy and reform. “Empowering Educators” will equip you with the expertise to make informed, curriculum decisions that foster academic excellence, social-emotional growth, and lifelong learning. Part 1 of this book discusses about the definitions, concepts and ideologies, models of curriculum. The importance of curriculum and syllabus inside the classroom. Second Part 2 of this book discusses about why curriculum decision makers have to consider the Mission (Purpose) of Teaching Profession, of Program and the Mission of institution and how it has to be synchronised with vision and core values of stakeholders. Why educators agrees its students should develop the graduate attributes during their time with the institution and consequently shape the contribution they can make to their profession and society. Why the development of metacognition, higher order thinking skills, development of requisite competence of students during their period of study is important and how decision makers to provide space and time for the development that matters. How the transdisciplinary learning helps the graduates passed out of higher educational institutions to solve the current and anticipating societal problem. How different dimensions of National Education Policy 2020 (NEP 2020) has to be incorporated into the curriculum. How do we develop graduates for the future of work, where new jobs emerge that just didn’t exist, or have not been invented yet. Why we need to develop the reading of different genre of books among our students during the period of study to understand the different authors ideas, concepts, principles and frameworks, which help the graduates to apply in any new situations. This book aims to empower educators to take charge of curriculum decision making, providing them confidence and courage to create exceptional learning experiences for all students.

Redgate, Christopher. Composition changing instruments changing composition. Oxford University Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780199355914.003.0011.
Full textAbstract:
This chapter discusses the collaborative, cyclical relationship between composition and instrument development as it follows the journey from technically extreme compositions, via the design and manufacture of the Howarth-Redgate oboe, to composers’ responses to this new instrument. The chapter takes as its starting point the extreme technical demands that result from the development of extended techniques—for example, the problems with the standard instrument’s keywork that stem from such compositional approaches. Then, through reference to Roger Redgate’s Ausgangspunkte and other works that sit at the limits of the playable, the chapter explores the idea of compositional risk-taking as a forum for collaboration. Following a discussion of the first compositional explorations of the redesigned oboe, the potential for further development of the instrument is considered.

Full textAbstract:
The book is devoted to the research and development of methods for combining computational structures for reconfigurable signature-based information protection tools for computer systems and networks in order to increase their efficiency. Network security tools based, among others, on such AI-based approaches as deep neural networking, despite the great progress shown in recent years, still suffer from nonzero recognition error probability. Even a low probability of such an error in a critical infrastructure can be disastrous. Therefore, signature-based recognition methods with their theoretically exact matching feature are still relevant when creating information security systems such as network intrusion detection systems, antivirus, anti-spam, and wormcontainment systems. The real time multi-pattern string matching task has been a major performance bottleneck in such systems. To speed up the recognition process, developers use a reconfigurable hardware platform based on FPGA devices. Such platform provides almost software flexibility and near-ASIC performance. The most important component of a signature-based information security system in terms of efficiency is the recognition module, in which the multipattern matching task is directly solved. It must not only check each byte of input data at speeds of tens and hundreds of gigabits/sec against hundreds of thousand or even millions patterns of signature database, but also change its structure every time a new signature appears or the operating conditions of the protected system change. As a result of the analysis of numerous examples of the development of reconfigurable information security systems, three most promising approaches to the construction of hardware circuits of recognition modules were identified, namely, content-addressable memory based on digital comparators, Bloom filter and Aho–Corasick finite automata. A method for fast quantification of components of recognition module and the entire system was proposed. The method makes it possible to exclude resource-intensive procedures for synthesizing digital circuits on FPGAs when building complex reconfigurable information security systems and their components. To improve the efficiency of the systems under study, structural-level combinational methods are proposed, which allow combining into single recognition device several matching schemes built on different approaches and their modifications, in such a way that their advantages are enhanced and disadvantages are eliminated. In order to achieve the maximum efficiency of combining methods, optimization methods are used. The methods of: parallel combining, sequential cascading and vertical junction have been formulated and investigated. The principle of multi-level combining of combining methods is also considered and researched. Algorithms for the implementation of the proposed combining methods have been developed. Software has been created that allows to conduct experiments with the developed methods and tools. Quantitative estimates are obtained for increasing the efficiency of constructing recognition modules as a result of using combination methods. The issue of optimization of reconfigurable devices presented in hardware description languages is considered. A modification of the method of affine transformations, which allows parallelizing such cycles that cannot be optimized by other methods, was presented. In order to facilitate the practical application of the developed methods and tools, a web service using high-performance computer technologies of grid and cloud computing was considered. The proposed methods to increase efficiency of matching procedure can also be used to solve important problems in other fields of science as data mining, analysis of DNA molecules, etc. Keywords: information security, signature, multi-pattern matching, FPGA, structural combining, efficiency, optimization, hardware description language.

Massumi, Brian. Parables for the Virtual. Duke University Press, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.1215/9781478021971.
Full textAbstract:
Since its publication twenty years ago, Brian Massumi's pioneering Parables for the Virtual has become an essential text for interdisciplinary scholars across the humanities. Massumi views the body and media such as television, film, and the internet as cultural formations that operate on multiple registers of sensation. Renewing and assessing William James's radical empiricism and Henri Bergson's philosophy of perception through the filter of the postwar French philosophy of Deleuze, Guattari, and Foucault, Massumi links a cultural logic of variation to questions of movement, affect, and sensation. Replacing the traditional opposition of literal and figural with distinctions between stasis and motion and between actual and virtual, Massumi tackles related theoretical issues by applying them to cultural mediums as diverse as architecture, body art, the digital art of Stelarc, and Ronald Reagan's acting career. The result is an intriguing combination of cultural theory, science, and philosophy that asserts itself in a crystalline and multifaceted argument. This twentieth anniversary edition includes a new preface in which Massumi situates the book in relation to developments since its publication and outlines the evolution of its main concepts. It also includes two short texts, “Keywords for Affect” and “Missed Conceptions about Affect,” in which Massumi explicates his approach to affect in ways that emphasize the book's political and philosophical stakes.

Full textAbstract:
The present research investigates the participation of female entrepreneurs in the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) industry and scrutinizes the association between diverse factors and their entrepreneurial achievement. Several scholars have attempted to clarify the relationship between these variables and the attainment of entrepreneurship, as entrepreneurial pursuits are beneficial to society. However, a precise definition of entrepreneurial success remains elusive. The lack of clarity surrounding the previously mentioned concept necessitates a comprehensive examination. The sustainability of enterprises that are solely managed by women is dependent on a range of factors, such as demographic factors, sociocultural factors, psychological traits and skills of the entrepreneurs, environmental conditions and the organizational framework. The significance of these factors with regards to the attainment of the organization’s goals has been underscored. The objectives of this research are to identify the determinants of success of women and study the impact of demographic variables on the success factors of women entrepreneurs in Karnataka. The study also aims to analyse the impact of different factors on success of women entrepreneurs in Karnataka and examine the Moderating factors that affect the success of Women entrepreneurs in Karnataka. The study uses a descriptive research design employing the Mono-method quantitative analysis involving the MSME Women entrepreneurs from Karnataka. Using a multistage sampling, the MSME Women entrepreneurs were selected from 6 Districts in Karnataka. A total of 620 MSME Women entrepreneur responses were recorded in the study. The research takes aid of a well-structured questionnaire which was adapted from various studies in the area of research. For statistical analysis softwares such as IBM SPSS Ver 28, AMOS Ver 22, Stats Tool Package and Micro soft Excel. The findings of the study show that there is a significant impact of Psychological factors, Social factors, Skill factors and Resource factors on Success of women entrepreneurs and there is an increase in success of women entrepreneurs when psychological factor are moderated with resource factors and skill factors. The study makes recommendations to the policy makers- MSME development Institute, Women entrepreneurs and Family members of Women Entrepreneurs. This study makes a contribution to the existing literature on the factors that influence the success of women entrepreneurs. Specifically, it extends the literature by exploring the comparative efficacy of psychological, socio-cultural, skill and resource factors. Additionally, it contributes to the literature review by highlighting the significance and impact of demographic factors on these same factors for women entrepreneurs. The findings of the study suggest that a more comprehensive investigation could be carried out by increasing the sample size and expanding the study’s scope to encompass a broader geographic area, thereby enhancing the generalizability of the study’s results within the Indian context. A comparative analysis of emerging economies across different nations can also be conducted. It is possible to construct a more comprehensive structural model that demonstrates the interrelationships among the multiple factors. The examination of demographic moderating effects within a single model for comparative analysis can offer a wider perspective, which may prove beneficial for both scholars and policymakers seeking to advance the field of entrepreneurship. Keywords: MSMEs, Entrepreneurs, Small Business, Women Entrepreneurs, Social Entrepreneur, Social Entrepreneurship, Psychological Factors, Innovation, Social Change.

The industry of information technology in India includes the following services namely IT and software services, IT enabled services, hardware (engineering) services, and e-businesses/e-governance associated with government services. IT services are outsourcing of software support/installation, processing services, systems integration, exports of products and services, and training/education of the information technology science. The significant improvements in the industry have brought about a vital need for systematic process of managing the majority of employees in the IT industry. There was also a need created for technology in the subject matter of managing the employees and other aspects that came into picture. Hence, Innovative Human Resource practices came into existence for upgrading the skills and building the employees to work towards the goal of the organization. This gave birth to HR technology, Employee Engagement, ERP and so on. The study focuses on identifying various applications of Innovative Human resource practices in IT industry, the role of demographics and the factors influencing employee engagement and productivity. The study also analyzes the impact of innovative human resource practices on employee engagement and productivity and finally examines the mediating role of employee engagement upon the relationship between innovative human resource practices and employee productivity. To support the study, review of the relevant literature (Books, Research thesis and research papers) available in the innovative human resource practices space (both Global and Indian) was done. The research gap was identified in 4 categories i.e. empirical gap, evidence gap, methodological gap and population gap. The conceptual framework for the study was also designed. The literature review was categorized into national and international, theoretical and empirical to keep the study relevant according to the current global standards. Based on the research gap and the conceptual framework, the questionnaire was framed and according to the hypothesis the plan of analysis was structured to further the study. The data collection was completed through offline and online method, based on sample design. The analysis included Structural Equation Model, ANOVA, Independent t test and Mediation analysis – Andrew Hayes, Model 4 using SPSS and AMOS software. The study found out that HR Technology, HR Analytics, Collaboration Tools, AI in HR and Employee Pulse survey, are contributors to Innovative Human resource practices but there is no significant impact of demographic variables on perception of IHRM. Also, Employee retention, Reward and recognition, Personality development and Performance appraisal are factors influencing Employee engagement and Innovative work system, Employee contribution, Vigour, Dedication, Psychological factors, Motivational factors, Experience Factors and Individual capacity are factors influencing Employee Productivity. IHRM has significant impact on employee engagement and the employee productivity. Employee engagement mediates the relationship between IHRM and employee productivity. To conclude, this study provides insights into how employees are affected by innovative HR practices and provides practical solutions for organizations looking to encourage staff. By using motivational strategies that are directly tied to employees’ immediate interests and that are intended to affect their views and attitudes, innovative HR practices can assist firms in projecting a sense of employee engagement. Employees are further encouraged to be selfless and altruistic by the degrees of perceived satisfaction with the creative HR methods. As a result, they become more open to doing tasks that aren’t directly relevant to their professions but nevertheless helpful to their businesses. This would increase the efficiency of enterprises in managing their human resources, particularly those businesses that are team-based.

Burt, Eugene C. Serials Guide to Ethnoart. Greenwood Press, 1990. http://dx.doi.org/10.5040/9781350520929.
Full textAbstract:
With the growth in interest in ethnographic materials, this is an essential publication for large public libraries serving patrons with interests in anthropology and art. Choice This indispensable directory of data on serials that contain information relevant to the study of ethnoart fills a gap long perceived by scholars of the indigenous arts of Africa, Oceania, and the Americas, an area of academic focus in which reference materials have been generally lacking. Culled from a database developed by compiler Eugene C. Burt to track potentially useful periodicals in connection with his publication, Ethnoarts Index, the volume is designed to aid those with an interest in ethnoart in determining which serial publications best suit their research needs. In the main directory users can find information on former titles, publisher, editorial focus, content features, and a relevancy rating on each of almost 700 individual serial titles that have an editorial focus related to ethnoart. Nine separate appendices list recommended titles in various categories as well as serials that include indexing, bibliographic or abstracting services, ceased titles, and more. Titles include publications from the fields of art history, anthropology, history, area studies, librarianship, museum studies, and general interest magazines. Prefatory material explains the book's organization and the rationale for its recommendations and is followed by the major portion of the volume, the database of serials arranged alphabetically by title. In each entry more than 20 categories of information are provided including an assigned relevancy rating that rates the level of relevancy of a publication to ethnoart based on the frequency that ethnoart-oriented articles, reviews, etc. appear. Several indices make collection development recommendations based on the relevancy ratings, with approximate cost information. Additional appendices list titles by country of publication, relevant ceased titles, and more. Finally, a unique, rotated-keyword-in-title index that includes subtitles and former titles provides easy access to the main database. All of this information will be welcomed by librarians, scholars, collectors, dealers, curators, and students of ethnoart. Highly recommended for librarians building ethnoart collections; for university libraries where courses on any aspect of ethnoart are taught; and for libraries of museums and research institutions with an interest in ethnoart.
