Most recently, various groups have drawn attention to their political causes by demonstratively breaking the law, whether it is violating compulsory education in Fridays for Future demonstrations or refusing to abide by pandemic containment measures among critics of the Corona policy. This book explores what lies behind these rule-breaking events: supporters of the Fridays for Future movement, while dissatisfied with climate policy, are well integrated into the political system; people who may not abide by Corona rules, on the other hand, sometimes exhibit considerable alienation from and distrust of the political system.

Self-Powered Cyber Physical Systems

English | 2023 | ISBN: 1119841887 | 399 Pages | EPUB | 9 MB
This book is an attempt to aim at a very futuristic vision of achieving self-powered cyber-physical systems by applying a multitude of current technologies such as ULP electronics, thin film electronics, ULP transducers, autonomous wireless sensor networks using energy harvesters at the component level and energy efficient clean energy for powering data centers and machines at the system level. This is the need of the hour for cyber-physical systems since data requires energy when it is stored, transmitted, or converted to other forms. Cyber-physical systems will become energy hungry since the industry trend is towards ubiquitous computing with massive deployment of sensors and actuators. This is evident in using blockchain technologies such as Bitcoin or running epochs for artificial intelligence (AI) applications. Hence, there is a need for research to understand energy patterns and distribution in cyber-physical systems and adopt new technologies to transcend to self-powered cyber-physical systems. This book explores the recent trends in energy management, self-powered devices, and methods in the cyber-physical world.

Self-Management and Efficiency Large Corporations in Yugoslavia


Free Download Stephen R. Sacks, "Self-Management and Efficiency: Large Corporations in Yugoslavia "
English | ISBN: 1138309869 | 2019 | 176 pages | PDF | 54 MB
The book, first published in 1983, examined whether the Yugoslavs’ extensive implementation of their principle of self-management by small work units was costly in terms of economic efficiency. Were they atomizing their firms into inefficiently small fragments? Was the system of worker self-management appropriate only for small firms? Can a modern industrial enterprise of efficient scale, indeed very large scale, by run that way? In order to answer these questions, the author applies to large firms in former Yugoslavia the transactions cost analysis developed by the economist Oliver Williamson.

Powerful Pedagogy Self-Study of a Teacher Educator’s Practice (2024)


Free Download Robyn T. Brandenburg, "Powerful Pedagogy: Self-Study of a Teacher Educator’s Practice"
English | 2008 | pages: 217 | ISBN: 1402081952, 9048178029 | PDF | 2,2 mb
Powerful Pedagogy: Self-Study of a Teacher Educator’s Practice is the outcome of the author’s systematically questioning her assumptions about teaching and, in various ways, gives voice to the many individuals who have had an impact on the development of the author’s pedagogy as a mathematics teacher educator. Using self-study as both a lens and a methodology to research her practice over the past three years, the author examines the impact of reflection and reflective practice in pre-service teacher education; voice, silence and that which remains "unsaid"; the ways in which teacher identities emerge and develop, and the role of authority and power in learning about teaching.

Planning, Time, and Self-Governance Essays in Practical Rationality (2024)


Free Download Michael E. Bratman, "Planning, Time, and Self-Governance: Essays in Practical Rationality"
English | 2018 | pages: 289 | ISBN: 019086785X, 0190867868 | PDF | 119,0 mb
Our human capacity for planning agency plays central roles in the cross-temporal organization of our agency, in our acting and thinking together (both at a time and over time), and in our self-governance (both at a time and over time). Intentions can be understood as states in such a planning system. The practical thinking at the bottom of this planning capacity is guided by norms that enjoin synchronic plan consistency and means-end coherence as well as forms of plan stability over time. The essays in this book aim to deepen our understanding of these norms and to defend their status as norms of practical rationality for planning agents.
