English | ISBN: 1350179116 | 2023 | 232 pages | EPUB, PDF | 3 MB + 11 MB
One of the world's first truly international humanitarian organisations, the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA) was championed as a beacon of postwar philanthropy that sought to rehabilitate as well as provide relief. This edited volume offers the first comprehensive study of the UNRRA and seeks to identify the key successes, limitations and enduring challenges it faced in the postwar period. Tracing the rehabilitation of displaced children in the camps of Germany and Austria, to mountainous Greek villages without access to food or medical supplies and refugees in postwar China, it will assess the immediate impact of UNRRA rehabilitation policy on postwar reconstruction, international development and broader humanitarian processes. Through these international case studies it will explore the ways in which a fundamental inability to define 'rehabilitation' made it seemingly impossible to meet its objectives. As a predecessor to modern specialised agencies such as UNESCO, WHO and UNICEF, studying the UNRRA is crucial for our understanding of the history of the United Nations, the circumstances that shaped its future policies and the foundations of modern humanitarianism.

Sean Gilliland, client "My family has worked with Todd Almasi for over 20 years. As a 2nd generation client, I am enjoying an early retirement because of the important money and investing strategies I was taught by my parents and the guidance from Todd over the years. Many years ago, my parents gave me a copy of "The Wealthy Barber" to read. I see Todd Almasi's book as what you need to know after you have mastered the Wealthy Barber's strategies." Rick Peterson, President, Peterson Capital The increased velocity of technology changes and options make it more difficult than ever to make smart investment choices. Yes, as an investor, it makes sense to take more in your own hands and learn more about the world around you. But unless you devote every hour of your working day to understanding and working in capital markets, you're far better off enlisting the help of a professional. Todd answers five questions that will help you immediately start on the path to a strong relationship with your Investment Advisor: 1. What should you realistically expect from your Investment Advisor? 2. What is your relationship with money - and how to let your Advisor understand it? 3. What is your game plane - do you have one? 4. Who should you listen to in the media? 5. How do you avoid generational erosion of family wealth? For over 25 years Todd Almasi has been committed to a conservative, disciplined approach to investing. The foundation of Todd's clientele has been formed by building strong relationships with a high level of open communication and a personal commitment to providing the highest level of personalized service that today's sophisticated investor expects, requires and deserves.

English | ISBN: 0262072874 | 2007 | 430 pages | EPUB | 425 KB
Los Angeles-the place without a sense of place, famous for sprawl and overdevelopment and defined by its car-clogged freeways-might seem inhospitable to ideas about connecting with nature and community. But in Reinventing Los Angeles, educator and activist Robert Gottlieb describes how imaginative and innovative social movements have coalesced around the issues of water development, cars and freeways, and land use, to create a more livable and sustainable city. Gottlieb traces the emergence of Los Angeles as a global city in the twentieth century and describes its continuing evolution today. He examines the powerful influences of immigration and economic globalization as they intersect with changes in the politics of water, transportation, and land use, and illustrates each of these core concerns with an account of grass roots and activist responses: efforts to reenvision the concrete-bound, fenced-off Los Angeles River as a natural resource; "Arroyofest," the closing of the Pasadena Freeway for a Sunday of walking and bike riding; and immigrants' initiatives to create urban gardens and connect with their countries of origin. Reinventing Los Angeles is a unique blend of personal narrative (Gottlieb himself participated in several of the grass roots actions described in the book) and historical and theoretical discussion. It provides a road map for a new environmentalism of everyday life, demonstrating the opportunities for renewal in a global city.Robert Gottlieb is Henry R. Luce Professor of Urban and Environmental Policy and Director of the Urban and Environmental Policy Institute at Occidental College in Los Angeles. He is the author of Environmentalism Unbound: Exploring New Pathways for Change (MIT Press), Forcing the Spring: The Transformation of the American Environmental Movement, and other books.

English | ISBN: 0812223187 | 2014 | 200 pages | EPUB | 481 KB
In the Western world, the modern view of childhood as a space protected from broader adult society first became a dominant social vision during the nineteenth century. Many of the West's sharpest portrayals of children in literature and the arts emerged at that time in both Europe and the United States and continue to organize our perceptions and sensibilities to this day. But that childhood is now being recreated.

Free Download Reinforcement Learning for Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces: Assisted Wireless Communication Systems by Alice Faisal , Ibrahim Al-Nahhal , Octavia A. Dobre , Telex M. N. Ngatched
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2024 | 64 Pages | ISBN : 3031525531 | 6.8 MB
This book presents the intersection of two dynamic fields: Reinforcement Learning (RL) and RIS- Assisted Wireless Communications. With an emphasis on both discrete and continuous problems, it introduces a comprehensive overview of RL techniques and their applications in the evolving world of RIS-assisted wireless communications. Chapter 1 introduces the fundamentals of RL and deep RL (DRL), providing a solid foundation for understanding subsequent chapters. It also presents the Q-learning, deep Q-learning, and deep deterministic policy gradient algorithms. Chapter 2 provides a holistic overview of RIS-assisted systems and details several use cases in wireless communications. Then, Chapters 3 and 4 present various applications of the discrete and continuous DRL to RIS-assisted wireless communications. From maximizing the sum-rate to minimizing, the system resources and maximizing the energy efficiency. These chapters showcase the versatility of the DRL algorithms in tackling a range of challenges. This book concludes with Chapter 5, which introduces the challenges and future directions in this field. It explores the particulars of hyperparameter tuning, problem design, and complexity analysis, while also highlighting the potential of hybrid DRL, multi-agent DRL, and transfer learning techniques for advancing wireless communication systems.
