    Abstract: Why did Rwanda's rural Hutus participate so massively, and so personally, in the country's 1994 genocide of its Tutsi population? Given all that has been written already about this horrific episode, is there still more that can be learned? Answering these questions, Jean-Paul Kimonyo's social and economic history explores at the deepest level the role both of power relations among Rwanda's grassroots citizens, political parties, and the state and of socioeconomic factors vs. politically/socially constructed ethnicity.

    Abstract: In the social sciences today, students are taught theory by reading and analyzing the works of Karl Marx, Max Weber, and other foundational figures of the discipline. What they rarely learn, however, is how to actually theorize. The Art of Social Theory is a practical guide to doing just that. In this one-of-a-kind user's manual for social theorists, Richard Swedberg explains how theorizing occurs in what he calls the context of discovery, a process in which the researcher gathers preliminary data and thinks creatively about it using tools such as metaphor, analogy, and typology. He guides readers through each step of the theorist's art, from observation and naming to concept formation and explanation. To theorize well, you also need a sound knowledge of existing social theory. Swedberg introduces readers to the most important theories and concepts, and discusses how to go about mastering them. If you can think, you can also learn to theorize. This book shows you how. Concise and accessible, The Art of Social Theory features helpful examples throughout, and also provides practical exercises that enable readers to learn through doing.

    Abstract: Delivers the collective wisdom of foremost scholars and practitioners in the death and dying movement from its inception to the present Written by luminaries who have shaped the field, this capstone book distills the collective wisdom of foremost scholars and practitioners who together have nearly a millennium of experience in the death and dying movement. The book bears witness to the evolution of the movement and presents the insights of its pioneers, eyewitnesses, and major contributors past and present. Its chapters address contemporary intellectual, institutional, and practice developments in thanatology: hospice and palliative care, funeral practice, and death education; and caring of the dying, suicidal, bereaved, and traumatized. With a breadth and depth found in no other text on death, dying, and bereavement, the book disseminates the thinking of prominent authors William Worden, David Clark, Tony Walter, Robert Neimeyer, Charles Corr, Phyllis Silverman, Betty Davies, Terrie Rando, Colin Murray Parkes, Kenneth Doka, Allan Kellehear, Sandra Bertman, Stephen Conner, Linda Goldman, Mary Vachon, and others. Their chapters discuss the most significant facets of early development, review important current work, and assess major challenges and hopes for the future in the areas of their expertise. A substantial chronology of important milestones in the contemporary movement introduces the book, frames the chapters to follow, and provides guidance for further, in-depth reading. The book first focuses on the interdisciplinary intellectual achievements that have formed the foundation of the field of thanatology. The section on institutional innovations encompasses contributions in hospice and palliative care of the dying and their families; funeral service; and death education.

    Abstract: Do women participate in and influence meetings equally with men? Does gender shape how a meeting is run and whose voices are heard? The Silent Sex shows how the gender composition and rules of a deliberative body dramatically affect who speaks, how the group interacts, the kinds of issues the group takes up, whose voices prevail, and what the group ultimately decides. It argues that efforts to improve the representation of women will fall short unless they address institutional rules that impede women's voices. Using groundbreaking experimental research supplemented with analysis of school boards, Christopher Karpowitz and Tali Mendelberg demonstrate how the effects of rules depend on women's numbers, so that small numbers are not fatal with a consensus process, but consensus is not always beneficial when there are large numbers of women. Men and women enter deliberative settings facing different expectations about their influence and authority. Karpowitz and Mendelberg reveal how the wrong institutional rules can exacerbate women's deficit of authority while the right rules can close it, and, in the process, establish more cooperative norms of group behavior and more generous policies for the disadvantaged. Rules and numbers have far-reaching implications for the representation of women and their interests. Bringing clarity and insight to one of today's most contentious debates, The Silent Sex provides important new findings on ways to bring women's voices into the conversation on matters of common concern.

    Abstract: A companion to Andrew F. Smith's critically acclaimed and popular Eating History: Thirty Turning Points in the Making of American Cuisine, this volume recounts the individuals, ingredients, corporations, controversies, and myriad events responsible for America's diverse and complex beverage scene. Smith revisits the country's major historical momentscolonization, the American Revolution, the Whiskey Rebellion, the temperance movement, Prohibition, and its repealand he tracks the growth of the American beverage industry throughout the world. The result is an intoxicating encounter with an often overlooked aspect of American culture and global influence. Americans have invented, adopted, modified, and commercialized tens of thousands of beverageswhether alcoholic or nonalcoholic, carbonated or caffeinated, warm or frozen, watery or thick, spicy or sweet. These include uncommon cocktails, varieties of coffee and milk, and such iconic creations as Welch's Grape Juice, Coca-Cola, root beer, and Kool-Aid. Involved in their creation and promotion were entrepreneurs and environmentalists, bartenders and bottlers, politicians and lobbyists, organized and unorganized criminals, teetotalers and drunks, German and Italian immigrants, savvy advertisers and gullible consumers, prohibitionists and medical professionals, and everyday Americans in love with their brew. Smith weaves a wild history full of surprising stories and explanations for such classic slogans as taxation with and without representation;" the lips that touch wine will never touch mine;" and rum, Romanism, and rebellion." He reintroduces readers to Samuel Adams, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, and the colorful John Chapman (Johnny Appleseed), and he rediscovers America's vast literary and cultural engagement with beverages and their relationship to politics, identity, and health.

These relations embody the duties and permissions of a system's moral code. We move easily among core systems, though interests and moral demands may vary. Procedural democracy promises equity to people or systems having diverse interests when society fails to create a public that governs for the common interest.

    Abstract: Hartmut Böhme's study of fetishism spans all the way from Christian image magic in the Middle Ages to fetishistic practices in fashion, advertising, sport and popular culture today. In it he provides a thorough exploration of religion, magic, idolatry, sexuality and consumption, charting the mental, scientific and artistic processes through which fetishism became a central category in European culture's account of itself.

    Abstract: Tsenhor was born about 550 BCE in the city of Thebes (Karnak). She died some sixty years later, having lived through the reigns of Amasis II, Psamtik III, Cambyses II, Darius I and perhaps even Psamtik IV. By carefully retracing the events of her life as they are recorded in papyri now kept in museums in London, Paris, Turin, and Vienna, the author creates the image of a proud and independent businesswoman who made her own decisions in life. Like her father and husband, Tsenhor could be hired to bring offerings to the dead in the necropolis on the west bank of the Nile. For a fee of course, and that is how her family acquired high-quality farm land on more than one occasion. But Tsenhor also did other business on her own, such as buying a slave and co-financing the reconstruction of a house that she owned together with her husband. When Tsenhor decided to divide her inheritance, her son and daughter each received an equal share. Even the papyri proving her children's rights to her inheritance were cut to equal size, as if to underline that in her household boys and girls had exactly the same rights. Tsenhor seems in many ways to have been a liberated woman, some 2,500 years before the concept was invented. Embedded in the history of the first Persian occupation of Egypt, and using many sources dealing with ordinary women from the Old Kingdom up to and including the Coptic era, this book aims to for ever change the general view on women in ancient Egypt, which is far too often based on the lives of Nefertiti, Hatshepsut, and Cleopatra.

    Abstract: This volume provides an authoritative synthesis of a dynamic, influential area of psychological research. Leading investigators address all aspects of dual-process theories: their core assumptions, conceptual foundations, and applications to a wide range of social phenomena. In 38 chapters, the volume addresses the pivotal role of automatic and controlled processes in attitudes and evaluation; social perception; thinking and reasoning; self-regulation; and the interplay of affect, cognition, and motivation. Current empirical and methodological developments are described. Critiques of the duality approach are explored and important questions for future research identified.

    Abstract: The State of the Adivasis in Odisha 2014: A Human Development Analysis endeavours to identify and highlight the development concerns of the tribals of the state, explore their causes and provide an opportunity to the state planners in prioritising the human development issues specific to this community. As one of the most excluded communities of India, Adivasis face many challenges in their daily lives: extreme poverty, social exclusion, poor access to healthcare, education and employment opportunities, displacement from their lands and forests and so on. The key objective of this report is to understand these areas of deprivations. It is imperative for the government to ensure food and nutritional security to Adivasis. Efforts should be made for conservation of forests. The tribes need to be provided with hospitals, schools and basic infrastructural facilities. Equal participation of women in project committees at all levels and in training schemes and commercial ventures should be taken to reduce gender inequality. Based on primary and secondary data analysis, this report studies the poor socio-economic condition of the Adivasis and offers possible solutions for empowering the tribal community as a whole. Â.

    Abstract: Pat Caplan is a social anthropologist who began doing research on Mafia Island for her Ph.D. in the 1960s when Mikidadi and his relatives made her part of their family . She has continued to revisit the island periodically since then and has published several books and written many articles based on her research. Her books include 'African Voices, African Lives' and she has also made a film about Kanga village: Life on Mafia Island (www.youtube.com) with a Swahili version 'Maisha ya Watu Kisiwani Mafia'. In addition, she maintains a web site about Mafia:�www.mafia-island-tanzania.gold.ac.uk�which includes a historical photo gallery. Pat Caplan is retired from full-time teaching, but still gives lectures and conference papers, carries out research and publishes. She also enjoys her five grandchildren. The book:� The idea for this book has grown out of an engagement with Mafia Island, Tanzania over the last forty-five years, during which time I have made seven research trips there, and published numerous articles and books. Some people on the island have become close friends, indeed quasi-kin, and I have been closely involved in their lives.�One such person, whom I knew when he was an adolescent back in 1965, was Mikidadi Kichange, who treated me as his older sister for all the years of our friendship, until his untimely death in 2002. Apart from our meetings when I was in Tanzania, he shared through regular letters his education, training in forestry, national service, marriage and the birth of two daughters, the care of many children of relatives, his employment and his founding of an NGO for the betterment of the island. Although Mikidadi never managed to return to full-time education as he had wished, he read widely in Swahili, English and Arabic. By the time of our last meeting in the summer of 2002, when we worked together for several months...
    Abstract: on Mafia, he had become a colleague and interlocutor, as well as a �younger brother� and friend.�Since his unexpected death in the autumn of 2002 at the age of 49 I have considered how he might be remembered by the writing of a book about his life which would also illustrate the profound changes which have taken place on Mafia Island, and in Tanzania more widely since independence. I would call this work biographical history, as well as historical biography in which the lives of ordinary people reveal their struggles, constraints, and, as in this case, an extraordinary ability to overcome their circumstances.

    Abstract: Command and Control (C2) is the set of organizational and technical attributes and processes by which an enterprise marshals and employs human, physical, and information resources to solve problems and accomplish missions. C2 Re-envisioned: The Future of the Enterprise identifies four interrelated megatrends that are individually and collectively shaping the state of the art and practice of C2 as well as the mission challenges we face. These megatrends the book examines are: Big Problems —manifested in part as increasing complexity of both endeavors and enterprises, as military establishments form coalitions with each other, and partnerships with various civilian agencies and non-governmental organizations Robustly Networked Environments —enabled by the extremely broad availability of advanced information and communications technologies (ICT) that place unprecedented powers of information creation, processing, and distribution in the hands of almost anyone who wants them—friend and foe alike Ubiquitous Data —the unprecedented volumes of raw and processed information with which human actors and C2 systems must contend Organizational alternatives —as decentralized, net-enabled approaches to C2 have been made more feasible by technology. The book analyzes historical examples and experimental evidence to determine the critical factors that make C2 go wrong and how to get it right. Successful enterprises in the future will be those that can reconfigure their approaches in an agile manner. Offering fresh perspectives on this subject of critical importance, this book provides the understanding you will need to choose your organizational approaches to suit the mission and the conditions at hand.

    Abstract: Recent insights into the nature of representation and power relations have signaled an important shift in perspective on anthropology: from a fieldwork-based "science" of culture to an interpretive activity bound to the discursive and ideological process called "text-making." This collection of essays reflects the ongoing cross-fertilization between literary criticism and anthropology. Focusing on texts written or influenced by anthropologists between 1900 and 1945, the work relates current perspectives on anthropology's discursive nature to the literary period known as "Modernism.". The essays, each demonstrating anthropology's profound influence on this important cultural movement, are organized according to discourse type: from the comparativist text of Frazer, to the ethnographies of Boas, Benedict, Mead, and Hurston, and on to the surrealist experiments of the College de Sociologie. Meanwhile the book's orientation shifts from essays that approach anthropology from the vantage points of literariness and textual power to those that contemplate what bearing the junction of cultural theory and anthropology can have upon present and future social institutions. In addition to the editor, contributors include Vincent Crapanzano, Deborah Gordon, Richard Handler, Arnold Krupat, Francesco Loriggio, Michele Richman, Marty Roth, Marilyn Strathern, Robert Sullivan, John B. Vickery, and Steven Webster. Originally published in 1990. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These paperback editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback editions.

    Abstract: Antiquity serves as a reference point for diverse forms of self-understanding in Western cultural and intellectual history. This raises questions concerning the degree to which the spatial, epistemic, and material dimensions of "antiquity" are relevant to processes of appropriation. This compendium explores the productivity of such limits by means of examples taken from different eras and disciplines.

    Abstract: Sexualisierte bzw. geschlechtsbezogene Gewalt gegen Frauen ist nachweislich ein bestehendes Problem und Arbeitsfeld in der sozialen Arbeit. In der vorliegenden Studie wird die Relevanz des Internets in der Kommunikation über Webseiten zwischen den Frauen, die sexualisierte Gewalt erfahren haben und den Beratungsstellen untersucht. Dabei bilden Befragungen beider Gruppen die Grundlage dieser Studie. Den Gegenstand dieser Studie bilden das Nutzungsverhalten und die Erwartungen an eine Webseite aus der Sicht der Betroffenen wie auch aus der Sicht der BeraterInnen. Auszug aus dem TextTextprobe:Kapitel 3.2, Kommunikation im Internet:Als Grundhypothese wird in dieser Studie davon ausgegangen, dass die von Habermas und Schulz von Thun beschriebenen Kommunikationsmodelle auch für die Kommunikation im Internet gelten.Diese Studie soll klären auf welche Weise und mit welchem Ziel das Internet als Kommunikationsknotenpunkt im Kontakt zwischen betroffenen Frauen und den Beratungsstellen dienen kann. Dabei muss zuerst die Frage geklärt werden wie und mit wem betroffene Frauen kommunizieren und was das Ziel dieser Kommunikation für die betroffenen Frauen ist. Kommunikation ist der Austausch oder die Übertragung von Informationen und somit ein wesentlicher Bestandteil bei der Nutzung des Internet. Dabei ist das Internet lediglich ein technisches Hilfsmittel für Kommunikation. Es gibt verschiedene Modelle zur Darstellung der Aspekte einer Kommunikation. Es gibt unterschiedlichen Zugangsweisen zur Beschreibung von Kommunikationsprozessen, welche wiederum zu unterschiedlichen Kommunikationsbegriffen, Kommunikationsmodellen und Kommunikationstheorien führen. Diese umfassen z. B. das 'Nachrichtenquadrat' von Prof. Dr. Friedemann Schulz von Thun (Schulz von Thun, 1981), welches verschiedene Bedeutungsebenen einer Kommunikation zwischen einem Sender und einen...
    Abstract: Empfänger betrachtet oder die von Jürgen Habermas entwickelte Theorie der 'kommunikativen Kompetenz" (TdkH, Bd. I), die 'Sprechakte" in den Zusammenhang der objektiven, der sozialen und der subjektiven Welt stellt.Das Internet als Kommunikationsmittel wird nun genauer beleuchtet. Dabei gilt: 'Unter cvK soll [...] jene Kommunikation zusammengefasst werden, bei der aufseiten der Empfänger einer Botschaft ein Computer zur En- und Dekodierung zum Einsatz kommt.' (Hartmann, 2004). Das netzbasierende Medium Webseite, als Kommunikationsmittel, zeigt die Besonderheiten der computervermittelten Kommunikation. Diese umfassen verschiedene veränderte Kommunikationsformen, die auch 'neue Kommunikationsformen' genannt werden. Diese und ihre Anwendungen realisieren interpersonelle Kommunikation in unterschiedlichen (sozialen) Kontexten. Verschiedene Unterscheidungsdimensionen auf denen die cvK verortet werden kann, zeigen einen Überblick über die Möglichkeiten und Ausformungen der Kommunikation über netzbasierte Medien auf: Die Anzahl und Güte der Sinneskanäle. Es sind verschiedene und vielfältige Sinnesmodalitäten an der jeweiligen Kommunikationsform auditiv und visuell beteiligt. Meist wird die Anzahl und Art der Sinneskanäle durch das Medium bzw. die Kommunikationstechnologie selbst festgelegt. Die Dimension der synchronen (zeitgleichen) vs. der asynchronen (zeitversetzte) Kommunikation. Asynchrone Kommunikation zeichnet sich immer durch die fehlende Möglichkeit eines sofortigen Feedbacks aus. Dazu gehört der Austausch per E-Mail.Nach Kuhn (2001) ist die Kommunikation über eine Webseite, die hier untersucht wird, eine Kommunikation vom Typ Face-to-File (FF) (Typ 2 der Definition nach Kuhn): Bei dieser Form der Kommunikation erfolgt ein einseitiger Informationsaustausch. Beispielsweise erfolgt diese Art der Kommunikation beim Lesen eines Textes auf einer
    Abstract: Webseite, ohne dass ein Rückkanal genutzt und Feedback an den Autor bzw. den Autoren gesendet wird. Diese Kommunikation erfolgt ohne prosodische, haptische und soziale Informationen. Außerdem ist diese Art der Kommunikation non-verbal und stark formalisiert. Damit unterscheidet sie sich von der Face-to-Face Kommunikation (Typ 1) (FTF / F2F), die direkt und unmittelbar stattfindet (Chatrooms nach Döring 1999), wie auch von der Face-File-Face Kommunikation (FFF) (Typ 3), bei der Informationen ausgetauscht werden und ein Feedback über einen Rückkanal erfolgt. Blogs oder Foren zählen zu der zuletzt genannten Face-File-Face Kommunikation. Es stellt sich die Frage was die Webseite als webbasiertes Kommunikationsmittel zwischen Betroffenen und Beratungsstellen leisten kann bzw. ob sie überhaupt, in dem untersuchten Kontext, das geeignete Kommunikationsmittel gegenüber anderen Formen der Internetkommunikation ist.Multimedialität sowie die Interaktivität sind allgemein positive Aspekte der computervermittelten Kommunikation. So können Text-, Ton- und Bildelemente in einer Kommunikation relativ schnell zusammengefügt werden und Inhalte veranschaulicht beziehungsweise vermittelt werden. Außerdem sind die Inhalte zeit- und ortsunabhängig abrufbar. Dies könnte in dem untersuchten Zusammenhang dazu führen, dass die Kommunikationsbarriere für hilfesuchende Frauen niedrig ist. Dieser Aspekt ist zentral in der vorliegenden Untersuchung. Die Kommunikationssituation im Internet zeigt verschiedene Besonderheiten auf, die für betroffene Frauen in ihrer speziellen Situation von Vorteil sein könnten. Zu den Besonderheiten gehören vier charakteristischen Eigenschaften, die mehr oder weniger ausgeprägt in den einzelnen Kommunikationssituationen auftreten können (Hartmann, 2004): Die Kommunikationspartner befinden sich nach situativem Kontext mehr oder weniger isoliert
    Abstract: voneinander. Es besteht eine Anonymität anderer Personen, denn die Kommunikationspartner (Sender und Empfänger) verfügen über eingeschränktes voneinander. Gleiches gilt für die Identifizierbarkeit der eigenen Person: Inwiefern wissen die Empfänger etwas über die Identität des Senders? Eine Kopräsenz ist in vollem Maße ist nur in Face-to-face-Situationen gegeben, da die Kommunikationspartner die gleiche Umgebung teilen. Bei online-Kontakten hingegen gibt es keine Kopräsenz.Die Kommunikation über eine Webseite hat, wie fast anderen Formen der computervermittelten Kommunikation, den Nachteil, dass sie ohne verbale und nonverbale Verständigungsmittel wie Gestik, Mimik, Stimmlage, Betonung etc. auskommen muss. Somit liegt eines der Probleme der rein text- und computerbasierenden Kommunikation im Nichtvorhandensein des unmittelbaren Hörerrückmeldeverhaltens in Form von Mimik oder auch Gestik, welche im direkten Gesprächskontakt mit z.B. einer Klientin eine wesentliche Rolle einnehmen. Man kann seinen Text bzw. seine Botschaft nicht unmittelbar revidieren oder erklären, außer der Kommunikationspartner würde sein Unverständnis direkt im Antworttext kundgeben. Ein weiteres Problem ist die Entpersonalisierung durch das Internet und die Kommunikation, die nicht mehr Face-to-Face stattfindet.Da sich meine Fragestellungen und Annahmen bezüglich der Relevanz des Internet für die Soziale Arbeit, speziell die Beratungsarbeit an einem Klientel ausrichten, das sich seine Hilfeform aktiv wählt, möchte ich im folgenden zwei theoretische Grundlagen näher ausführen, die sich mit allgemeinen Theorien zur Medienwahl von Nutzern computerbasierender Information und Kommunikation beschäftigen. Die Medienwahl wird durch soziale, situative und personale Faktoren bestimmt. Dabei wirken nicht die technischen Eigenheiten der Medien unmittelbar auf die Medienwahl, sondern diese
    Abstract: wird durch die personalen und v.a. sozialen Determinanten beeinflusst (Hartmann, 2004).Das von Reicher, Spears und Lea 1995 entwickelte SIDE-Modell (Social Identity Deindividuation Model) beschäftigt sich mit den Folgen der physischen Isolation und der visuellen Anonymität, die die Kommunikationspartner während der computervermittelten Kommunikation erleben, und ist somit wohl das komplexeste Modell der computervermittelten Kommunikation (Hartmann, 2004).Die soziale und personale Identität sind zentrale und wichtige Konzepte des SIDE-Modells. Die personale Identität ergibt sich aus den individuellen Eigenschaften und deren Bewertung im interpersonellen Vergleich (Hartmann, 2004). Die soziale Identität wird als das Gefühl einer Person verstanden, das sich aus der Zugehörigkeit zu bestimmten Gruppen, z.B. Geschlecht, ethnischen Gruppen oder Alters- und Berufsgruppen ergibt. Sie besteht aus verschiedenen Teilidentitäten, da eine Person ja mehreren Gruppen gleichzeitig angehören kann. Diese sind dann nach Situation und Kontext unterschiedlich 'aktiv' oder salient (Hartmann, 2004). Die soziale Identität tritt besonders in Situationen zutage, in denen die Deindividuation einer Person betont wird (Hartmann, 2004), wie es in der comuterbasierenden Kommunikation der Fall ist.Das SIDE-Modell wurde entwickelt, um Vorhersagen über die Folgen eben dieser Deindividuation zu machen. Es werden zwei Aspekte unterschieden: Anonymität und Identifizierbarkeit (Hartmann, 2004). In anonymen Situationen ist es schwer oder überhaupt nicht möglich, andere Personen individuell wahrzunehmen. Aufbauend auf die Theorie der sozialen Identität nach Tjfel (1978) und der Selbstkategorisierungstheorie von Turner (1982) wird mit dem SIDE-Modell angenommen, dass Personen sich unter anonymen Situationen normkonformer verhalten als in Situationen, in der sich Individuen gegenseitig

    Abstract: On the basis of a world-wide convenience sample of 116 languages, the distribution of zero-marking of spatial relations over the languages of the world is shown to largely escape any genetically, areally and/or typologically based constraints. The main goal of this book is to firmly establish the cross-linguistic occurrence of the zero-marking of spatial relations and to provide a framework for its study in terms of economy and predictability.

    Abstract: In the past decade, the number of wireless devices has grown exponentially. Decades ago, all systems were wired computer systems. Wireless technology was not accessible in mobile and portable devices until in recent years, and has followed a variety of methods for encryption and resource management. The purpose of the research in Optimizing IEE 802.11i Resources and Security Essentials is to determine the issues of the performance in current encryption methods in AES-CCMP in different types of devices and handle it so that an optimized resource usage would be achieved with the required security. Two modes for 802.11i for two different groups of devices is suggested and evaluated with the current encryption method for AES-CCMP to compare the performance. Almost every organization in today's world relies on wireless networks to transmit information, and much of that information should be kept secure. Banking, healthcare, and the military are all vital industries that rely on wireless security for a huge section of their operations. Security experts of today and tomorrow will learn a lot from Optimizing IEE 802.11i Resources and Security Essentials, and it can be used for master level in computer science, information security, wireless network security and cryptography. The research in this book covers how to best balance security concerns with limited resources available on wireless devices as well as how to optimize security resources on higher-end non-mobile devices

    Abstract: ¿Por qué otro manual de comunicación? Fundamentalmente, por su enfoque: este manual está dirigido a periodistas, a quienes se forma para serlo, porque necesitan conocer las claves de funcionamiento de quienes les aportan las noticias; o a aquellos que, siéndolo, deciden dar el salto a ejercer de fuentes. Ser periodista es un buen punto de partida. Conoce la profesión, las necesidades del informador, los enfoques, lo que vende? pero no es suficiente. Es esencial una formación específica para convertirse en un especialista realmente cualificado. Como afirma Juan Cruz Más en el prólogo, ?José Manuel Burgueño ha escrito un libro sencillo, práctico, con ejemplos y anécdotas, que se lee de un tirón, y con la credibilidad que se deriva de una vida de experiencia. Muy propio para varios públicos: empresarios, consultores y responsables de la imagen de empresas e instituciones, estudiantes?, y periodistas.?.

    Abstract: Ausgehend von der klassischen Annahme Max Webers, wonach Herrschaft im Alltag Verwaltung sei, analysiert der Sammelband Kommunikationsprozesse zwischen Herrschaft, Administration und Administrierten in europäischen Territorien der Frühen Neuzeit. Der verbreiteten Vorstellung, dass diese Kommunikationsprozesse weitgehend von Befehl und Gehorsam bestimmt waren, setzen die in diesem Band versammelten Einzelstudien differenzierte historische Analysen der Konstellationen und Dynamiken des Dreiecksverhältnisses entgegen. Die Beiträge widmen sich den spezifischen Formen und Verfahren der Kommunikation zwischen Landesherrn, Verwaltungen und Untertanen, und befassen sich mit deren sprachlicher Ausgestaltung. Zudem fokussieren mehrere Beiträge den Organisationscharakter von Verwaltungen, um das Verhältnis zwischen herrschaftlichen Initiativen und administrativem Handeln, sowie die Rolle von - nicht selten eigendynamischen - Verwaltungspraktiken zu bestimmen. Die hier vorgestellten neuen Ansätze der Verwaltungsgeschichte und Überlegungen zur Verwaltungskultur lösen sich von der konventionellen »Rationalitätserzählung« der Bürokratie in der Moderne, indem sie nach vielfältigen Rationalitäten und Logiken fragen, die das herrschaftliche und administrative Handeln in der Vormoderne prägten.   Inhaltsverzeichnis Stefan Brakensiek: Einleitung: Herrschaft und Verwaltung in der Frühen Neuzeit -- Corinna von Bredow: Die niederösterreichischen Kreisämter als Scharnier zwischen Landesregierung und Untertanen - Kommunikationsprozesse und Herrschaftspraxis -- Peter Collmer: Dreieckskommunikation in der polnisch-litauischen Adelsrepublik.

    Abstract: Sex Scene suggests that what we have come to understand as the sexual revolution of the late 1960s and early 1970s was actually a media revolution. In lively essays, the contributors examine a range of mass media-film and television, recorded sound, and publishing-that provide evidence of the circulation of sex in the public sphere, from the mainstream to the fringe. They discuss art films such as I am Curious (Yellow), mainstream movies including Midnight Cowboy, sexploitation films such as Mantis in Lace, the emergence of erotic film festivals and of gay pornography, the use of multimedia in sex education, and the sexual innuendo of The Love Boat. Scholars of cultural studies, history, and media studies, the contributors bring shared concerns to their diverse topics. They highlight the increasingly fluid divide between public and private, the rise of consumer and therapeutic cultures, and the relationship between identity politics and individual rights. The provocative surveys and case studies in this nuanced cultural history reframe the "sexual revolution" as the mass sexualization of our mediated world.Contributors.

    Abstract: A clear illustration of how parallel computers can be successfully applied to large-scale scientific computations. This book demonstrates how a variety of applications in physics, biology, mathematics and other sciences were implemented on real parallel computers to produce new scientific results. It investigates issues of fine-grained parallelism relevant for future supercomputers with particular emphasis on hypercube architecture. The authors describe how they used an experimental approach to configure different massively parallel machines, design and implement basic system software, and develop algorithms for frequently used mathematical computations. They also devise performance models, measure the performance characteristics of several computers, and create a high-performance computing facility based exclusively on parallel computers. By addressing all issues involved in scientific problem solving, Parallel Computing Works! provides valuable insight into computational science for large-scale parallel architectures. For those in the sciences, the findings reveal the usefulness of an important experimental tool. Anyone in supercomputing and related computational fields will gain a new perspective on the potential contributions of parallelism. Includes over 30 full-color illustrations.

    Abstract: Theoretical Aspects of Reasoning About Knowledge: Proceedings of the 1986 Conference focuses on the principles, methodologies, approaches, and concepts involved in reasoning about knowledge. The selection first provides an overview of reasoning about knowledge, varieties of self-reference, and pegs and alecs. Topics covered include data semantics, partial objects and identity, circumstance, self, and causal connection, structure of circumstance, varieties and limits of self-reference, problem of logical omniscience, and knowledge, communication, and action. The book then explores reasoning about knowledge in artificial intelligence; synthesis of digital machines with provable epistemic properties; and a first order theory of planning, knowledge, and action. The publication ponders on the consistency of syntactical treatments of knowledge, foundations of knowledge for distributed systems, knowledge and implicit knowledge in a distributed environment, and the logic of distributed protocols. Topics include formal syntax and semantics, structure of models, message-based knowledge worlds, changing the class of messages, implicit knowledge in message-based knowledge worlds, conservation and implicit knowledge, and distributed protocols. The selection is a dependable source of data for researchers interested in the theoretical aspects of reasoning about knowledge.

    Abstract: Theoretical Aspects of Reasoning About Knowledge contains the proceedings of the Fifth Conference on Theoretical Aspects of Reasoning About Knowledge (TARK 1994) held in Pacific Grove, California, on March 13-16, 1994. The conference provided a forum for discussing the theoretical aspects of reasoning about knowledge and tackled topics ranging from the logic of iterated belief revision and backwards forward induction to information acquisition from multi-agent resources, infinitely epistemic logic, and coherent belief revision in games. Comprised of 23 chapters, this book begins with a review of situation calculus and a solution to the frame problem, along with the use of a regression method for reasoning about the effect of actions. A novel programming language for high-level robotic control is described, along with a knowledge-based framework for belief change. Subsequent chapters deal with consistent belief reasoning in the presence of inconsistency; an epistemic logic of situations; an axiomatic approach to the logical omniscience problem; and an epistemic proof system for parallel processes. Inductive learning, knowledge asymmetries, and convention are also examined. This monograph will be of interest to both students and practitioners in the fields of artificial intelligence and computer science.

    Abstract: Representations of Commonsense Knowledge provides a rich language for expressing commonsense knowledge and inference techniques for carrying out commonsense knowledge. This book provides a survey of the research on commonsense knowledge. Organized into 10 chapters, this book begins with an overview of the basic ideas on artificial intelligence commonsense reasoning. This text then examines the structure of logic, which is roughly analogous to that of a programming language. Other chapters describe how rules of universal validity can be applied to facts known with absolute certainty to deduce other facts known with absolute certainty. This book discusses as well some prominent issues in plausible inference. The final chapter deals with commonsense knowledge about the interrelations and interactions among agents and discusses some issues in human and social interactions that have been studied in the artificial intelligence literature. This book is a valuable resource for students on a graduate course on knowledge representation.

    Abstract: The field of computer vision combines techniques from physics, mathematics, psychology, artificial intelligence, and computer science to examine how machines might construct meaningful descriptions of their surrounding environment. The editors of this volume, prominent researchers and leaders of the SRI International AI Center Perception Group, have selected sixty papers, most published since 1980, with the viewpoint that computer vision is concerned with solving seven basic problems: Reconstructing 3D scenes from 2D images Decomposing images into their component parts Recognizing and assigning labels to scene objects Deducing and describing relations among scene objects Determining the nature of computer architectures that can support the visual function Representing abstractions in the world of computer memory Matching stored descriptions to image representation Each chapter of this volume addresses one of these problems through an introductory discussion, which identifies major ideas and summarizes approaches, and through reprints of key research papers. Two appendices on crucial assumptions in image interpretation and on parallel architectures for vision applications, a glossary of technical terms, and a comprehensive bibliography and index complete the volume.

    Abstract: Readings in Artificial Intelligence focuses on the principles, methodologies, advancements, and approaches involved in artificial intelligence. The selection first elaborates on representations of problems of reasoning about actions, a problem similarity approach to devising heuristics, and optimal search strategies for speech understanding control. Discussions focus on comparison with existing speech understanding systems, empirical comparisons of the different strategies, analysis of distance function approximation, problem similarity, problems of reasoning about action, search for solution in the reduction system, and relationship between the initial search space and the higher level search space. The book then examines consistency in networks of relations, non-resolution theorem proving, using rewriting rules for connection graphs to prove theorems, and closed world data bases. The manuscript tackles a truth maintenance system, elements of a plan-based theory of speech acts, and reasoning about knowledge and action. Topics include problems in reasoning about knowledge, integration knowledge and action, models of plans, compositional adequacy, truth maintenance mechanisms, dialectical arguments, and assumptions and the problem of control. The selection is a valuable reference for researchers wanting to explore the field of artificial intelligence.

    Abstract: Structural Elements Design Manual is a manual on the practical design of structural elements that comprise a building structure, namely, timber, concrete, masonry, and steel. Practical guidance on the design of structural elements is provided in accordance with the appropriate British Standard or Code of Practice. Plenty of worked examples are included. Comprised of five chapters, this book begins with an overview of interrelated matters with which the structural engineer is concerned in the design of a building or similar structure. The British Standards and Codes of Practice are also considered, along with loading, structural mechanics, and theory of bending. The discussion then turns to timber, concrete, masonry, and steel elements, with emphasis on safety considerations and material properties. This monograph should prove useful not only to students of structural and civil engineering, but also to those studying for qualifications in architecture, building, and surveying who need to understand the design of structural elements.
