Arne Bialuschewski, "Piracy in the Early Modern Era: An Anthology of Sources"
English | ISBN: 1624668240 | 2019 | 200 pages | PDF | 38 MB
"This volume represents a sea change in educational resources for the history of piracy. In a single, readable, and affordable volume, Lane and Bialuschewski present a wonderfully diverse body of primary texts on sea raiders. Drawn from a variety of sources, including the authors' own archival research and translations, these carefully curated texts cover over two hundred years (1548-1726) of global, early-modern piracy. Lane and Bialuschewski provide glosses of each document and a succinct introduction to the historical context of the period and avoid the romanticized and Anglo-centric depictions of maritime predation that often plague work on the topic."

Employee-Centric IT: Advancing the Digital Era Through Extraordinary IT Experience
English | 2023 | ISBN: 9781484291863 | 120 pages | PDF | 5.99 MB
Global surveys from McKinsey, BCG, Gartner, and others show that less than 30% of digital transformation programs succeed in their missions to improve a company's performance and employee productivity. This is due to the fact that IT efforts within the company do not center around the employee. This book will provide concrete steps to allow both IT professionals and business leaders to transform the way they deliver IT to employees - with the employee (the human) centered in their transformation.

Love in the Post-Reconceptualist Era of Curriculum Work: Deliberations on the Meanings of Care
English | 2023 | ISBN: 1032417617 | 132 Pages | PDF (True) | 3.3 MB
Advancing an understanding of curriculum as a "collective public moral enterprise," it critically asks whether we can build a world where love is not negotiated, but only proliferated. Through the creation of short and interconnected autobiographical narratives about the meanings of love, the author provides pivotal insights for curricularists who labor in conflicting and paradoxical contexts. As such, the book seeks to demonstrate how the labor of "love fortification" may be accomplished in a world of agonistic, antagonistic, and competitive becoming(s). Highlighting the role of caregiving, this book questions the role of evaluations in post-reconceptualization and provides insights for educators and policymakers on how to promote "actualization" and reconciliation in schools in contexts across the global-north and -south.

Language Textbooks in the era of Neoliberalism By Pau Bori
2018 | 204 Pages | ISBN: 1138223190 | PDF | 1 MB
This book examines how neoliberalism finds expression in foreign language textbooks. Moving beyond the usual focus on English, Pau Bori explores the impact of neoliberal ideology on Catalan textbooks. By comparing Catalan textbooks to English textbooks, this book interrogates the similarities and differences between a minor and a global language in the age of neoliberalism. Drawing on insights from critical theory and critical pedagogy, this study provides a fresh perspective on foreign language textbooks and second language education more broadly. Language Textbooks in theEra of Neoliberalism paves the way for new critical perspectives in language education that will challenge the current hegemony of neoliberalism.

Enterprise Interoperability IX: Interoperability in the Era of Artificial Intelligence
English | 2023 | ISBN: 3030903869 | 499 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 37 MB
This book gathers the proceedings of the I-ESA'20 Conference, which was organised by the National Engineering School of Tarbes (ENIT), on behalf of the European Virtual Laboratory, for Enterprise Interoperability (INTEROP-VLab) and the Pole Grand Sud-Ouest (PGSO) and was held virtually in Tarbes, France, in November 2020. It presents contributions ranging from academic research and case studies to industrial and administrative experiences with interoperability. These contributions show how, in a globalised market scenario-where the ability to cooperate with other organisations efficiently is essential in order to remain economically, socially and environmentally cost-effective-the most innovative digitised and networked enterprises ensure that their systems and applications can interoperate across heterogeneous collaborative networks of independent organisations. The focus of this edition of the conference is on interoperability in the era of artificial intelligence and so particular attention is paid to Industry 4.0 and the Internet of Things. The content also addresses smart services and the business impact of enterprise interoperability on organisations. Many of the papers in this tenth volume of the I-ESA Conference proceedings include examples and illustrations to help deepen readers' understanding and generate new ideas. Offering a detailed guide to the state of the art in systems interoperability, the book will be of great value to all engineers and computer scientists working in manufacturing and other process industries, and to software engineers and electronic and manufacturing engineers working in academic settings.

Description
Welcome to the course on the "Relevance of Six Sigma in this era of machine learning and business intelligence." In today's rapidly changing business landscape, organizations must strive for continuous improvement and efficiency in order to stay competitive. This course will explore how Six Sigma, a data-driven methodology for process improvement and business transformation, fits into the modern era of machine learning and business intelligence.While Six Sigma has been a staple of process improvement for decades, the emergence of advanced technologies like machine learning and business intelligence has led some to question its relevance. However, Six Sigma remains a powerful tool for process improvement, and when used in conjunction with machine learning and business intelligence, it can be even more effective.Throughout this course, we will delve into the basics of Six Sigma and explore how it can be used in conjunction with machine learning, business intelligence and other technologies to optimize processes and drive transformation. We will also examine case studies of organizations that have successfully integrated Six Sigma with these technologies and the benefits they have reaped as a result.Whether you are a business professional looking to improve your organization's processes or a data scientist seeking to enhance your understanding of Six Sigma, this course will provide you with the knowledge and skills necessary to succeed in this era of machine learning and business intelligence.Power BI, the no.1 business intelligence tool, is also covered extensively in this course.
