Free Download System-Theoretical Urban Development: The Potsdam Lodestar Approach by Manfred Rolfes , Jan Lorenz Wilhelm
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2024 | 270 Pages ISBN : 3658422491 | 27.2 MB
In their book, the authors introduce the topic of urban development from a systems (theoretical) perspective and provide explanatory approaches, tips and methodological instructions for dealing with urban complexity. Knowing full well that this sometimes amounts to squaring the circle, the authors draw on applied systemic approaches and systematically couple these with epistemological currents that can be assigned to Luhmann's systems theory. The social understanding of this theory of social systems represents a very good starting point for understanding urban development and urban complexity. From this perspective, urban development can be seen as a process in which organisations and individuals with their own expectations and perspectives are involved, in which contradictions and conflicts seem inevitable and the future cannot be clearly predicted. Decisions in cities and municipalities are therefore always associated with risks, irritations and unexpected consequences. With the Potsdam lodestar approach, Rolfes and Wilhelm present a multidimensional approach to managing urban development processes. The approach distinguishes five process dimensions, which are presented chapter by chapter and linked with recommendations. The individual chapters are structured along guiding questions and feature appealing visualizations and numerous bonus materials.

Free Download Michael Bradley, "System Failure: The Silencing of Rape Survivors"
English | 2021 | ISBN: 1922464783 | EPUB | pages: 96 | 0.2 mb
One in five Australian women has been the victim of a sexual assault. For these women, there is less than a 1 per cent chance that their rapist has been arrested, prosecuted, and convicted of the crime. These are the bare numerical facts of system failure. We offer rape survivors a stark choice: go to the police, or remain silent. In recent times, the public pressure on survivors to report has increased, alongside a growing focus on two other options: civil action against the perpetrator, or going public. These evolving social responses are intended to offer an alternative to the tradition of silencing. However, each of these choices, for survivors, involves a further sacrifice of what they have already lost. The legal system's responses to rape were designed without survivors in mind, and they do not address, in any way, the questions that survivors ask or the needs they express. Simply put, on the systemic response to rape, we are having the wrong conversation.

Free Download Alba Cerrudo, "Syntactic Geolectal Variation "
English | ISBN: 9027210519 | 2021 | 391 pages | PDF | 54 MB
This volume brings together studies that combine both traditional and contemporary tools in the study of syntactic geolectal variation, with a special focus on a subset of Iberian varieties. There is an increasing body of research on syntactic micro-variation, but the interaction between dialectology (which makes use of atlases, corpora, databases, questionnaires, interviews, etc.) and formal syntactic studies has traditionally been weak (or even nonexistent), which is precisely the gap the contributions in this book aim at filling in. From a broader perspective, this collection is meant as a contribution to the subfield of linguistic variation and to the more general field of Romance linguistics, with special interest in Spanish and in other Iberian languages. The volume is meant for both researchers and students interested in linguistic variation or dialectology and, specifically, in syntactic variation in Iberian languages.

Free Download Symmetry Measures on Complex Networks by Angel Garrido
English | PDF | 2017 | 510 Pages | ISBN : 3038424986 | 123.78 MB
Symmetry is found everywhere, to a greater or lesser degree. It is essential in all sciences and also as the basic substrate in all arts. The same happens with Complex Networks, which are the majority of all those that interest for advanced knowledge, that is, for research. That is why these two themes have been unified here, whose intersection we are dealing with: in its first part, of fundamentals, and in its second part of applications, which are multiple in the world today.

Free Download Israel Bar-yehuda Idalovichi, "Symbolic Forms As the Metaphysical Groundwork of the Organon of the Cultural Sciences"
English | ISBN: 1443859125 | 2014 | 450 pages | PDF | 2 MB
The seeded idea that saw its growth and eventual maturation in the form of this book is the unshakable conviction that the only way by which a new apparatus of philosophy, an organon, could be created is by harking back to the vast sources of imagination, mimesis and cultural inspiration. The idea of this project is simple: metaphysics, insofar as it is concerned with the world in its entirety and with the human being's existence and thought, should provide the working foundations for an organon of cultural sciences, based on symbolic forms. Given that the colossal information and knowledge of philosophy, arts, humanities, logic, mathematics, social sciences and natural sciences cannot be comprised, analyzed and comprehended per se, it is the organon's objective and purpose to extract the main principles, ideas, postulates, theorems and theories of the cultural sciences, and, subsequently, to shape and restructure them as symbolic forms. These symbolic forms are not merely substances or categories. Being grounded on Becoming, through a critical-dialectical process, the symbolic forms preserve and change, elevate and further the apparatus itself - namely, the organon of the cultural sciences. The organon itself is without closure, so that its endless formation will guarantee its perpetual vitality in its everlasting attempt to classify the vast multiformity and diversity of the cultural sciences, as well as to create new symbolic forms.
