Engaged Observer: Anthropology, Advocacy, and Activism By Victoria Sanford, Asale Angel-Ajani
2006 | 254 Pages | ISBN: 0813538912 | PDF | 15 MB
Anthropology has long been associated with an ethos of "engagement." The field's core methods and practices involve long-term interpersonal contact between researchers and their study participants, giving major research topics in the field a distinctively human face. Can research findings be authentic and objective? Are anthropologists able to use their data to aid the participants of their study, and is that aid always welcome?In Engaged Observer, Victoria Sanford and Asale Angel-Ajani bring together an international array of scholars who have been embedded in some of the most conflict-ridden and dangerous zones in the world to reflect on the role and responsibility of anthropological inquiry. They explore issues of truth and objectivity, the role of the academic, the politics of memory, and the impact of race, gender, and social position on the research process. Through ethnographic case studies, they offer models for conducting engaged research and illustrate the contradictions and challenges of doing so.

The field of molecular biology has revolutionized the study of biology. The applications to medicine are enormous, ranging from diagnostic techniques for disease and genetic disorders, to drugs, to gene therapy. Focusing on the fundamentals of molecular biology and encompassing all aspects of the expression of genetic information, the Encyclopedia of Molecular Biology will become the first point of reference for both newcomers and established professionals in molecular biology needing to learn about any particular aspect of the field.
Emotional Justice: A Roadmap for Racial Healing
English | 2022 | ISBN: 1523003367 | 192 Pages | MOBI EPUB (True) | 2 MB
In this groundbreaking book, Esther Armah argues that the crucial missing piece to racial healing and sustainable equity is emotional justice-a new racial healing language to help us do our emotional work. This work is part of the emotional reckoning we must navigate if racial healing is to be more than a dream. We all-white, Black, Brown-have our emotional work that we need to do. But that work is not the same for all of us.

Learn: That NO matter where you are in your life, how old you are, or how many times you've messed up in the past, YOU HAVE THE POWER TO CHANGE With your courage, commitment, and conscious action, you will experience a new quality of life that conforms to your passion and purpose, rather than trying to trick yourself into believing that your current circumstances are right for you. Ask yourself some questions: - How am I feeling right now? - What is the name or label of that emotion? (i.e. sadness, excitement, anxiety, etc.) - What shade of that emotion am I feeling? (i.e. anger can range from frustrated and annoyed to infuriated and raged) - Where in my body do I experience that feeling? - What triggered, and continues to trigger, this emotion? You Will Learn: What Emotional Intelligence REALLY Is Why EQ Determines A Person's Life Success Top Keys to Develop Your Emotional Intelligence Would You Like To Know More?

Elements of Information Theory (Wiley Series in Telecommunications and Signal Processing) by Thomas M. Cover, Joy A. Thomas
English | August 26, 1991 | ISBN: 0471062596 | 565 pages | PDF | 33 Mb
Following a brief introduction and overview, early chapters cover the basic algebraic relationships of entropy, relative entropy and mutual information, AEP, entropy rates of stochastics processes and data compression, duality of data compression and the growth rate of wealth. Later chapters explore Kolmogorov complexity, channel capacity, differential entropy, the capacity of the fundamental Gaussian channel, the relationship between information theory and statistics, rate distortion and network information theories. The final two chapters examine the stock market and inequalities in information theory. In many cases the authors actually describe the properties of the solutions before the presented problems.
Economists and COVID-19: Ideas, Theories and Policies During the Pandemic
English | 2022 | ISBN: 3031058100 | 246 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 6 MB
This book examines and classifies different reactions to the COVID-19 pandemic from economists across the world. With the impacts of the pandemic experienced differently in each country, specific case studies are provided to highlight how the economics profession has responded to the challenges that have emerged from COVID-19. Key debates, such as the trade-off between health protective measures and the economic impacts of closing important sectors, are discussed, with a focus on the responses in China, the USA, Italy, France, Russia, Argentina, Brazil, India, and Palestine.

Christopher L. Douglas, Christopher Schommer-Pries, "Dualizable Tensor Categories"
English | ISBN: 1470443619 | 2021 | 88 pages | PDF | 1 MB
"We investigate the relationship between the algebra of tensor categories and the topology of framed 3-manifolds. On the one hand, tensor categories with certain algebraic properties determine topological invariants. We prove that fusion categories of nonzero global dimension are 3-dualizable, and therefore provide 3- dimensional 3-framed local field theories. We also show that all finite tensor categories are 2-dualizable, and yield categorified 2-dimensional 3-framed local field theories. On the other hand, topological properties of 3-framed manifolds determine algebraic equations among functors of tensor categories. We show that the 1-dimensional loop bordism, which exhibits a single full rotation, acts as the double dual autofunctor of a tensor category. We prove that the 2-dimensional belt-trick bordism, which unravels a double rotation, operates on any finite tensor category, and therefore supplies a trivialization of the quadruple dual. This approach produces a quadruple-dual theorem for suitably dualizable objects in any symmetric monoidal 3-category. There is furthermore a correspondence between algebraic structures on tensor categories and homotopy fixed point structures, which in turn provide structured field theories; we describe the expectedconnection between pivotal tensor categories and combed fixed point structures, and between spherical tensor categories and oriented fixed point structures"-
