Abstract:

Abstract This is an introductory text on the theory of modules over rings or, equivalently, over algebras, addressed to beginning graduate students. It stresses the importance of the categorical perspective and the use of homological tools. Modules are studied both from a classical point of view and a categorical one. For this purpose, rudiments of category theory, homological algebra and representations of quivers are introduced and applied in the study of module categories. After introducing such fundamental tools as the Hom functor and the tensor product comes the study of projective, injective and flat modules. The classical results, such as the classification of modules over principal ideal domains, the Jordan-Hölder, Wedderburn-Artin, and Morita theorems, are proven, as well as the Eilenberg-Watts theorems. Radicals (of modules, algebras and categories) are thoroughly studied. Homological invariants, such as the extension and torsion modules or the homological dimensions are introduced using derived functors and are applied in module theory. The book stresses the construction and analysis of examples.

Abstract:

SIMdisaster is a simulation software conceived to respond to the training needs of health operators managing aid in maxi-emergencies, since the reproduction of such events for didactic purposes proves to be both complex and costly. SimDisaster reconstructs the scenario of a catastrophe using photos and films manipulated using computer graphics and integrated with three-dimensional objects generated by the computer. An interactive interface makes it possible to assess the scenario and hence take decisions about the logistics of aid operations, the choice of auto-protection techniques, triage intervention and maintenance of the principal vital functions. The scenario then evolves in real time depending on the choices made by the user.

Abstract:

Una apropiación hermenéutica de la ética tiene sentido debido a la complejidad misma del fenómeno moral. En atención a esto, una investigación que aborde de forma conjunta a Paul Ricoeur y a John Rawls se Justifica porque permite realizar una lectura comprensiva de este fenómeno atendiendo a dos de sus dimensiones fundamentales: la pregunta deontológica y la pregunta teleológica. Así, el objetivo presupuesto de poner-en diálogo un conjunto de conceptos y planteamientos que, desde el principio, se presenta como heterogéneos entre sí, no solo porque pertenecen a dos tradiciones diferentes, sino porque sus preguntas filosóficas también son distintas.

Abstract:

This study, emerging from workshop activity carried out as part of the course on ECONOMY AND ADMINISTRATION OF CO-OPERATION AND NON-PROFIT, represents an examination of the economic-financial dimension of the work of the Tuscan voluntary organisations. It is inserted within an articulated research process devoted to an analysis of the accountability of these third sector agents, in the awareness that voluntary work has always been an important factor in civil progress. More specifically, the economic and financial information made available to the provinces as a result of the obligation on the voluntary organisations to deposit the annual financial statement has been fully exploited. This compliance has thus been transformed from a mere bureaucratic procedure into an opportunity for a collective cognitive enrichment through collection at regional level, reclassification and the aggregate analysis of the economic and financial data relating to the management reports (profit and loss accounts) of the voluntary organisations for 2004-2005. This has made it possible to underscore the nature and provenance of the economic and financial resources that accrue annually to such bodies, as well as the principal productive factors "consumed" in the performance of their activities.

Abstract:

In this chapter the crucial role of units and dimensions in the analysis of any problem involving physical quantities is explained. The International System of Units (SI) is introduced. The major advantage of collecting the physical quantities, which are included in either a theoretical analysis or an experiment, into non-dimensional groups is shown to be a reduction in the number of quantities which need to be considered separately. This process, known as dimensional analysis, is based upon the principle of dimensional homogeneity. Buckingham’s Π‎ theorem is introduced as a method for determining the number of non-dimensional groups (the Π‎’s) corresponding with a set of dimensional quantities and their dimensions. A systematic and simple procedure for identifying these groups is the sequential elimination of dimensions. The scale-up from a model to a geometrically similar full-size version is shown to require dynamic similarity. The definitions and names of the non-dimensional groups most frequently encountered in fluid mechanics have been introduced and their physical significance explained.

Abstract:

This article discusses the methodology and theory of principal component analysis (PCA) for functional data. It first provides an overview of PCA in the context of finite-dimensional data and infinite-dimensional data, focusing on functional linear regression, before considering the applications of PCA for functional data analysis, principally in cases of dimension reduction. It then describes adaptive methods for prediction and weighted least squares in functional linear regression. It also examines the role of principal components in the assessment of density for functional data, showing how principal component functions are linked to the amount of probability mass contained in a small ball around a given, fixed function, and how this property can be used to define a simple, easily estimable density surrogate. The article concludes by explaining the use of PCA for estimating log-density.

Abstract:

This paper examines multidimensional paradigms, i.e. paradigms involving more than one feature dimension. I examine the concrete case of pronominal paradigms, which involve (at least) the dimensions of person and number. The problem that arises in such paradigms is that syncretisms may be observed in each dimension, i.e. they may occur both vertically (cross-person) and horizontally (cross-number). While classical nanosyntax embodies a theory of syncretism that can account for one dimension, it requires an extension to account for syncretisms in the other dimension(s). I discuss two such extensions, one making use of pointers, and another in terms of a revision of the Superset Principle. I show that both approaches make subtly different empirical predictions.

Full text

Abstract:

The best matching procedure described in Chapter 4 is equivalent to the introduction of a principal fibre bundle in configuration space. Essentially one introduces a one-dimensional gauge connection on the time axis, which is a representation of the Euclidean group of rotations and translations (or, possibly, the similarity group which includes dilatations). To accommodate temporal relationalism, the variational principle needs to be invariant under reparametrizations. The simplest way to realize this in point–particle mechanics is to use Jacobi’s reformulation of Mapertuis’ principle. The chapter concludes with the relational reformulation of the Newtonian N-body problem (and its scale-invariant variant).

Full text

Abstract:

Galilean relativity is a useful description of nature at low speed. Galileo found that the vertical component of a projectile’s velocity evolves independently of its horizontal component. In a frame that moves horizontally along with the projectile, for example, the projectile appears to go straight up and down exactly as if it had been launched vertically. The laws of motion in one dimension are independent of any motion in the other dimensions. This leads to the idea that the laws of motion (and all other laws of physics) are equally valid in any inertial frame: the principle of relativity. This principle implies that no inertial frame can be considered “really stationary” or “really moving.” There is no absolute standard of velocity (contrast this with acceleration where Newton’s first law provides an absolute standard). We discuss some apparent counterexamples in everyday experience, and show how everyday experience can be misleading.

Abstract:

Modernism is still widely acknowledged as perhaps the most important and influential artistic and cultural phenomenon of the 20th century. Written by expert scholars from around the world and covering hundreds of different topics in a clear, incisive, and critical manner, this reference maps the complex field of modernism in a fresh and original way. The principal focus of the book is on English-language literary modernism and the period 1890-1939, yet many entries extend beyond those parameters to include important precursors and successors of the movement. The book also covers the crucial European and interdisciplinary dimensions of modernism and provides complementary comparative perspectives from countries and regions not usually included in traditional accounts of the subject. Entries cite works for further reading, and the volume closes with a selected, general bibliography.

Full text

Abstract:

This chapter offers three rationales as to why governments intervene in the product innovation process: the principle ‘more is better’; international comparisons; and market failure. Policy instruments are discussed in the light of earlier findings that firms that are innovative in one dimension tend to be innovative in others. The constraints to innovation (also touched upon in earlier chapters), institutional intellectual property rights and the optimality of their respective lives are discussed. A number of policies are then explored, with some consideration of potential attempts to transfer activities from competing economies and the potential to generate international disputes and reactions. Some policies may operate on the demand side, stimulating the use of product innovation in the domestic economy regardless of wherefrom they come. In these discussions design and creative activities as well as R&D are considered, as are innovations that are aesthetic and not just functional.

Full text

Abstract:

Professional boundaries refer to the “edge” or limit of appropriate behavior in the clinical setting. The fundamental ethical principal involved is respect for the patient’s dignity and autonomy. Because there is a potential for exploitation of the patient due to the power differential and asymmetry between psychiatrist and patient, the following dimensions of the treatment frame must be considered: location, time, behavior, language, dress, confidentiality, self-disclosure, money and gifts, dual relationships, and physical/sexual contact. Context is crucially important in assessing professional boundaries. Hence, relatively benign boundary crossings must be differentiated from exploitative boundary violations. Preventive strategies, such as education, self-monitoring, and regular consultation should be part of the practice of all clinicians. The domain of the Internet is a recent context that has emerged, and psychiatrists must now be attuned to boundary issues in cyberspace.

Full text

Abstract:

As a method to study literary writing processes, genetic criticism is also a reading strategy. The idea behind this book is to introduce this strategy to a broader audience, from undergraduate students and interested readers to early career researchers and literary critics. A work of literature sometimes seems to hit a nerve, but it is more challenging to pinpoint exactly why it ‘works’. This book therefore starts from a basic principle: knowing how something was made can help us understand how and why it works. This strategy is at the basis of many disciplines, including art history. By means of X-ray technology or hyperspectral imaging, it is possible to look at a painting as a multilayered object with not only spatial dimensions but also a temporal one. This temporal dimension is the core of the reading strategy explored in this book.

Abstract:

This chapter addresses four principal topics. First, it provides an overview of definitions for the concept of workplace readiness and presents a summary set of dimensions on which these definitions differ. Second, it presents overarching themes describing personnel selection procedures in work organizations. The chapter focuses on the design and use of selection systems, with an emphasis on factors affecting personnel selection strategy decisions, such as choices about organizationally valued criteria and contextual factors such as selection ratios. Third, the chapter summarizes efforts to identify and converge on a substantive taxonomy of workplace readiness model content, with an emphasis on the attributes in readiness models. Fourth, it presents recent integrative research as an example of one avenue for investigating the importance of personality attributes as they relate to workplace readiness. This final section describes work that drew on consideration of many of the topics presented throughout the chapter.

Abstract:

fAIr LAC, la iniciativa del Grupo BID que promueve el uso ético y responsable de la inteligencia artificial, a través de BID Lab ha elaborado una herramienta práctica de autoevaluación ética de IA para emprendedores, que permite llevar a cabo un análisis de la solución tecnológica basada en IA y manejo de datos. Este diagnóstico ayuda a los emprendedores a mejorar su desarrollo de producto, mientras que identifica las principales áreas de atención para prevenir errores, sesgos, discriminaciones y exclusiones resultantes del despliegue tecnológico. La autoevaluación ética de IA para emprendedores que tiene en sus manos es el primer producto de fAIr LAC para emprendedores, y es una guía orientativa en español con enfoque multidisciplinario que contempla seis dimensiones principales: 1. Conceptualización y diseño, 2. Gobernanza y seguridad, 3. Involucramiento humano en los sistemas de IA, 4. Ciclo de vida de la IA (datos y algoritmos), 5. Actores relevantes y 6. Comunicaciones. El propósito es que los emprendedores tengan una referencia rápida de cuáles son los aspectos más importantes a considerar en cada una de estas dimensiones, a fin de tener una visión completa sobre las implicaciones éticas de sus productos y así establecer las medidas pertinentes de mejora y mitigación de riesgos. La principal innovación de este documento radica en dos aspectos principales: el primero que no pone el peso de la autorregulación únicamente en los emprendedores, sino que involucra dos actores clave para el ecosistema: los financiadores de proyectos y las aceleradoras. El segundo aspecto es que las preguntas orientadoras se corresponden con tres niveles de desarrollo de las empresas desde etapas tempranas en fases de ideación hasta emprendimientos maduros o pequeñas y medianas empresas (PyMEs) desarrollando productos innovadores. Asimismo, si bien el documento está pensado principalmente para orientar en el desarrollo e implementación de soluciones basadas en IA, también es útil para aquellas soluciones basadas en el manejo de datos. Invitamos a los interesados a descargar la publicación y a formar parte del viaje del emprendedor en su camino por desarrollar soluciones tecnológicas de impacto social que contribuyan a un desarrollo regional sostenido que no deje a nadie atrás.

This chapter discusses the forms and techniques of economic integration, the limits of integration prior to 1986, and the subsequent steps taken to complete the single market. There is both a substantive and an institutional dimension to this story. In substantive terms, it is important to understand the economic dimension to the single market. In institutional terms, a subtle mix of legislative, administrative, and judicial initiatives has furthered evolution of the single market.

Full text

Abstract:

This book documents the rise of digital repression—how governments are deploying new technologies to counter dissent, maintain political control, and ensure regime survival. The emergence of varied digital technologies is bringing new dimensions to political repression. At its core, the expanding use of digital repression reflects a fairly simple motivation: states are seeking and finding new ways to control, manipulate, surveil, or disrupt real or perceived threats. This book investigates the goals, motivations, and drivers of digital repression. It presents case studies in Thailand, the Philippines, and Ethiopia, highlighting how governments pursue digital strategies based on a range of factors: ongoing levels of repression, leadership, state capacity, and technological development. But a basic political motive—how to preserve and sustain political incumbency—remains a principal explanation for their use. The international community is already seeing glimpses of what the frontiers of repression look like, such as in China, where authorities have brought together mass surveillance, online censorship, DNA collection, and artificial intelligence to enforce their rule in Xinjiang. Many of these trends are going global. This has major implications for democratic governments and civil society activists around the world. The book also presents innovative ideas and strategies for civil society and opposition movements to respond to the digital autocratic wave.

Stengel, Barbara S. Responsibility. Bloomsbury Publishing Plc, 2023. http://dx.doi.org/10.5040/9781350302631.

Full text

Abstract:

Students, parents, teachers, leaders, and policy-makers generate and take responsibility for their efforts, often without understanding the nature of the responsibility they hold. Barbara S. Stengel argues that every educational interaction is a call to and opportunity for responsibility for all involved. In short, responsibility represents the goal for students, the guiding vision for educators’ practice, and a useful design principal for leaders and policy makers. Using a critical pragmatist framing of the concept of responsibility, Stengel shows how greater attention to responsibility allows for a deeper understanding of diversity and equity as well as individual and common goods. It enables a deeper understanding of the moral dimensions of teaching and learning prospectively in growth rather than retrospectively in blame. The philosophical discussion of responsibility is coupled with discussion of the lived experiences of students, teachers, aides, and administrators and draws evidence from a case study of a middle school turnaround in Nashville, USA. The Bailey Middle School community developed a reading of responsibility that matched educators’ intuitions and experiences of their work, while enhancing students’ understanding of their place in the world. The book represents a call for educators to be, and become, responsible for their and their students’ lives-in-common and the individual well-being of all in the community.

Abstract:

Abstract This book is the most updated and comprehensive collection of literature that address the complex issues such as inequality and social work academic and professions response to these inequalities. The work majorly focuses on social work profession and education in an unequal world and there by explores different dimensions of social work profession and academics response to unequal world. Contributions in this volume are well researched and timely. This book particularly addresses some of the pertinent questions - How social work operates in an unequal and unfair world? As social work educators, how do we respond to this? How do we address these issues in our classrooms? To what extent our pedagogy, curriculum and teaching learning methods respond to these unequal treatments in the global society? How do we in our classrooms impart practical and professional skills required for social workers to address this gross inequality? How social work responds to different forms of inequality in the world? The principal aim of the book is to generate evidence-based literature on social work academics role in addressing inequality. The book aims to help social work educators, students, practitioners and policy makers think critically about the skills and knowledge they need to understand and tackle inequality, and provide meaningful help to those people most in need.

Full text

Abstract:

Stereokinetic phenomena are visual illusions of three-dimensional objects produced by various drawings stuck on a platform rotating on the frontal plane. They are of theoretical interest because the phenomena cannot be explained by a “rigidity assumption” like other structures from motion, but they can be explained by a Gestalt general principle that minimizes speed differences. Other unique factors included (a) they do not appear to rotate but describe a circular translation (a movement analogous to that of a hand drawing a circle with the thumb oriented to the left and all its points moving at the same speed); (b) they appear to be three-dimensional and solid; and (c) they appear of a well-defined length in depth. This chapter discusses stereokinetic phenomena, including the related principles regarding the rigidity assumption, speed minimum difference, minimum principle, rotating figures, three-dimensional illusions, rotating circles, rotating ellipses, and rotating bar.

Abstract:

Principle 12 deals with the advisory functions of truth commissions. The advisory function of truth commissions is one of the most concrete ways that they can achieve their goals of helping rebuild society and prevent further violence. Such function is an essential dimension of the forward-looking dimension of truth-telling and truth-seeking processes. In particular, it enables truth commissions to pay attention to the experiences and role of women in transitioning societies, as well as to intersect with others measures aimed at combating impunity, including reparations and criminal prosecutions. This chapter first provides a contextual and historical background on Principle 12 before discussing its theoretical framework and how the recommendations of truth commissions have been implemented. It also highlights some of the key challenges involved in the implementation of a commission’s recommendations, noting that the failure to implement recommendations is often the result of a lack of political will.

Abstract:

This is the first book published in English to provide to an international audience a comprehensive examination of the Italian Constitutional Court (ItCC) and its principal lines of jurisprudence, historical origins, current engagement with transnational European law, organization, and procedures. In global constitutional dialogue, the voice of the ItCC has been entirely absent due to a relative lack of both English translations of its decisions and of focused scholarly commentary in English. The ItCC represents one of the strongest and most successful examples of constitutional judicial review, and is distinctive in its structure, institutional dimensions, and well-developed jurisprudence. Moreover, the ItCC has developed a unique voice among global constitutional actors in its adjudication of a broad range of topics from fundamental rights and liberties to the allocations of governmental power and regionalism. The goal of this book is to elevate Italian constitutional jurisprudence into an active participant role in global constitutional discourse and describe the “Italian style” in global constitutional adjudication. The authors have carefully structured the work to allow the ItCC’s own voice to emerge: it presents broad syntheses of major areas of the Court’s case law, provides excerpts from notable decisions in a narrative and analytical context, addresses the tension between the ItCC and the Court of Cassation, and situates the development, character, and importance of the ItCC’s jurisprudence in the larger arc of global judicial dialogue.
