The Global Seafarer: Living and Working Conditions in a Globalized Industry By T. Alderton
2005 | 208 Pages | ISBN: 9221127133 | PDF | 6 MB
This volume offers a systematic account of the effects of globalization on the shipping industry and seafarers' lives. The seafarers' labor market is changing rapidly and this study discusses the challenges encountered in recruitment practices, trade unions, and collective bargaining, as well as training, certification, and fraudulent certification. Wages, contracts, and tours of duty are also investigated, and the book includes in-depth treatment of seafarer safety and hazard exposure. Innovations such as automated engine rooms and the global maritime distress and safety system, the internationalization of ship registrations, multinational crewing and reductions in crewing levels, and the rise in ship management companies have had a profound effect on seafarers' living and working conditions. This perceptive book examines these and future issues for regulation and enforcement.

Face analysis is essential for a large number of applications such as human-computer interaction or multimedia (e.g. content indexing and retrieval). Although many approaches are under investigation, performance under uncontrolled conditions is still not satisfactory. The variations that impact facial appearance (e.g. pose, expression, illumination, occlusion, motion blur) make it a difficult problem to solve.

Chain Conditions in Commutative Rings
English | 2022 | ISBN: 3031098978 | 533 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 25 MB
This book gathers, in a beautifully structured way, recent findings on chain conditions in commutative algebra that were previously only available in papers. The majority of chapters are self-contained, and all include detailed proofs, a wealth of examples and solved exercises, and a complete reference list. The topics covered include S-Noetherian, S-Artinian, Nonnil-Noetherian, and Strongly Hopfian properties on commutative rings and their transfer to extensions such as polynomial and power series rings, and more. Though primarily intended for readers with a background in commutative rings, modules, polynomials and power series extension rings, the book can also be used as a reference guide to support graduate-level algebra courses, or as a starting point for further research.

Debra Crouch, Brian Cambourne, "Made For Learning: How the Conditions of Learning Guide Teaching Decisions"
English | 2020 | ISBN: 187845000X | ASIN: B08QJRJBT5 | EPUB | pages: 216 | 2.5 mb
If any book can be described as a foundation for teaching, Made for Learning is that book. Made for Learning is the result of 60 years of research and theory building by Australian educator Brian Cambourne, articulated and described with abundant classroom examples by American educator Debra Crouch. Three years of Zoom sessions made it possible for the two educators to collaborate on a regular basis, challenging and encouraging each other to understand Brian s original work in novel and innovative ways. Through integrating the Conditions of Learning research with new theoretical understandings, the co-authors present insightful analysis of teacher decision-making and classroom practices. Made for Learning offers educators a well-thought-out and up-to-date exploration of learning and teaching. The core of the book explores the multi-faceted, yet natural, processes underpinning learning to read and write. The authors challenge the commonly held assumption that learning to read and write are unnatural processes. Built on Brian's original research observations of young children learning to speak, the Conditions of Learning address the necessity of nurturing a responsive classroom environment for all learning to occur, whether that learning is virtual or in-person. This intentional culture for learning happens not in isolation but as part of an integrated whole. An addition to the theory that has blossomed since the publication of Brian s first book in 1988 is a deeper understanding of the role of language in the learning process. How teachers interact with learners and the language they use has a resounding impact on the learning that occurs. In Made for Learning the authors describe a Discourse of Meaning-Making and explain and illustrate how to make that discourse the dominant language of the classroom. When the Conditions are coupled with four Processes That Empower Learning, an extension of the theory in the last three decades, teacher decision-making promotes the active participation of learners in their own literate journey. How that active learning looks, sounds, and feels becomes tangible in the multitude of classroom examples found throughout the book. These classroom examples bring the Conditions of Learning to life and are unpacked to explore and analyze the specific teaching decisions leading to student learning. The authors offer educators concrete tools to use the Conditions of Learning as a framework to explore their own practices to strengthen learning experiences for every student. Regie Routman graciously reviewed the book and had this to say: Once in a great while a book comes along that upends our thinking - challenging us to critically examine the effects of our literacy beliefs, practices, and processes around teaching and learning. Made for Learning is that breakthrough book.

Many young people suffer from skin conditions which affect their physical and mental wellbeing. In the modern 'appearance-focused' world of social media, skin conditions such as acne, eczema, and psoriasis can be particularly psychologically challenging. Furthermore, with so much (mis)information out there, it can be hard to know where to start when looking for advice.
This book provides clear, accurate, and evidence-based information for young people with skin conditions. It outlines what 'normal' skin is, with subsequent chapters covering the most common skin problems, including acne, eczema, alopecia, hidradenitis, psoriasis, sweating, urticaria, vitiligo, and others. Each chapter describes the condition in a clear, easy-to-read format, and offers practical, evidence-based advice for treating and managing symptoms. Additional resources in each chapter
