Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Are mind and machine capable of solving the same tasks Creativity is one of the arguments that some philosophers and psychologists use as a proof of what computers cannot achieve; however, these arguments might be based on a misconception of what both intelligence and creativity mean.This book provides arguments supporting that creativity, as storytelling, can be emulated through computer programs. The assumption of creativity presents a major problem: Complexity. Even if we consider creativity just as a product of novel ways of achieving a goal, the number of combinations found when dealing with the 'real world' is astronomically huge. We can recall The Library of Babel (Borges, 1944), a library that contains any possible book that could be written in the history of humanity. This metaphor reveals the combinatory problem that emerges if a brute force algorithm is designed to generate texts. According to our hypothesis, our proposal is a heuristic that uses simple syntactic and semantic properties found in a text corpus in order to generate novel and coherent fiction texts based on what has been already written.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Although most young offenders have experienced some form of trauma, the juvenile justice system in the United States is ill-equipped to deal with the effects of trauma, and its focus on punishment often further traumatizes youth. This text presents a much-needed alternative to the current system, advocating trauma-informed interventions based on principles of healing and restorative justice.Judah Oudshoorn addresses the context of youth offending by examining both individual traumaincluding its emotional, cognitive, and behavioural effectsand collective trauma. The volume tackles some of the most challenging problems facing juvenile justice in the United States today, especially the ongoing cycles of intergenerational trauma caused by patriarchal violence and the over-incarceration of African American, Latino, and Native American youth. The author deftly demonstrates how a trauma-informed approach to juvenile justice can work toward preventing crime and healing offenders, victims, and communities. Featuring a foreword written by Howard Zehr, case stories from the author's own work with victims and offenders, questions for reflection, glossaries of key terms, and lists of recommended readings, this engaging text is the ideal resource for students in the field of juvenile justice.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Since the discovery of cosmic rays, the time series data of arrival time intervals of cosmic rays have been considered to be the typical example of random number. By the correlation dimension analysis for about 5 million time series data of air showers, it is found that the successive high energy cosmic rays arriving from the direction concerning to the Galactic plane have usually the chaotic feature. The origin of the chaos of cosmic rays is assumed to be the evolution of magnetic field in the Galaxy. Moreover, the chaotic feature of the high energy cosmic rays seem to be sensitive to the dark-matter. 60 pp. Englisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The purpose of this study was to implement the evidence-based e-health intervention, eCare We Care, and to evaluate the effect of the intervention on diabetes knowledge among African Americans with diabetes. In addition, this project sought to uncover differences in outcomes of the eCare We Care intervention within this population based on selected demographic characteristics. Forty-six subjects participated in the study. Participants were African Americans 40-65 years old with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes and low diabetes literacy. Using a pre- and post-intervention design, participants' diabetes knowledge was measured using a Diabetes Knowledge Survey both before and after receiving the e-health intervention. RM-ANOVA was used to examine the effect of intervention over time. A doubly multivariate repeated measures analysis was conducted in order to assess the effectiveness of E Health intervention (intervention group) compared to a paper-based one (control). Results of analysis indicated there was significant increase in diabetes knowledge from pre- to post-intervention in both groups; however, post-intervention gains were greater for the intervention group. 100 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease. Microscopic findings in the past have revealed some degree of atrophy of the sebaceous gland in psoriasis and psoriatic alopecia. In order to investigate the possible role of sebaceous glands in psoriasis, skin specimens from psoriasis-involved and healthy looking skin of 14 patients were obtained, and histological and stereological analysis were performed. The method of stereology provides the quantification of 3-dimensional structures ex vivo; thus it was possible to estimate and, for the first time, calculate the volume of sebaceous glands in psoriasis. The results revealed a significant reduction of the number and volume of sebaceous glands in the lesional compared to the non-lesional skin. Furthermore, skin specimens from psoriasis-involved and healthy looking skin of another 14 patients were obtained in order to perform immunohistochemical analysis. The differentiation stages of sebocytes were compared between the two groups. It could be shown that the sebocytes in psoriasis do not differentiate properly. These findings bring the sebaceous gland -for the first time- to the front of the research in psoriasis. 80 pp. Englisch.…

It does not inform rather reveals, so it bears no reference. The present book is the outcome of creative writing meant for lay readers. As such free style is the methodology adopted so that pleasure of reading can be enjoyed by the common mass. As you know well that Francis Bacon (1561-1626), the immortal essayist, wrote many essays and notably, Of Love, Of Friendship, Of Ambition, Of Studies, etc. The myriad-minded genius rightly pointed out that all the words of the dictionary can be the themes of essays one can write. But little has been done, in this regard since his death, in order to finish his unfinished monumental works.
