Foundations of Modern Slavery: Profiles of Unfree and Coerced Labor through the Ages by Caf Dowlah
English | Jul 30, 2021 | ISBN: 0367749068 | 412 pages | PDF | 5 MB
This is an academic inquiry into how labor power has been dehumanized and commodified around the world through the ages for capital accumulation and industrialization, and colonial and post-colonial economic transformation. The study explores all major episodes of slaveries beginning from the ancient civilizations to the end of Transatlantic Slave Trade in the eighteenth century; the worlds of serfdoms in the context of Western Europe, Eastern Europe, and Russia; the worlds of feudalisms in the context of Latin America, Japan, China, and India; the worlds of indentured servitudes in the context of the Europeans, the Indians, and the Chinese; the worlds of guestworkers in the contexts of the United States and Western Europe; the worlds of migrant labor programs in the context of the Gulf States; and the contemporary world of neoslavery focusing on human trafficking in both developing and developed countries, and forced labor in global value chains.

Increased competition, globalization, and shifting technologies are just some of the contributing factors that require today's organizations to up their game to ensure the money they invest in product development is spent on the highest-valued efforts. Without a clear approach to define how programs and projects are selected, funded, and managed, organizations may end up delivering solutions that have a high probability of failure. Such failures include missing customer expectations, solving the wrong problems, or misaligning solutions with the direction the enterprise is moving.

This second volume of Christian Fuchs' Media, Communication and Society book series outlines key concepts and contemporary debates in critical theory.
The book explores the foundations of a Marxist-humanist critical theory of society, clarifying and updating key concepts in critical theory - such as the dialectic, critique, alienation, class, capitalism, ideology, and racial capitalism. In doing so, the book engages with and further develops elements from the works of Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels, Rosa Luxemburg, Max Horkheimer, Theodor W. Adorno, Herbert Marcuse, David Harvey, Michael Hardt, Antonio Negri, C.L.R. James, Adolph L. Reed Jr., and Cornel West.

What is a healthy building? A healthy building can be seen as the next generation of green buildings. It includes environmentally responsible and resource-efficient building concepts and integrates health, wellness, and human experience in buildings. In this course, sustainability expert Keara Fanning shows you how you can improve how you live and work with healthy buildings. Keara explains why healthy buildings are important. Then she discusses a variety of factors that can help create buildings that promote human health, including air quality, materials, lighting, temperature, cueing healthy eating and water habits, promoting physical activity, and more. She describes steps that offices are taking to get people back to work safely, then concludes with advice on where you can learn more.

The term "knowledge graph" describes a semantic search based on the systematic compilation and processing of data and was first coined by Google. Leading internet companies have been using knowledge graphs for several years to present information that is tailored to customers' needs. You can also use knowledge graphs to map your company's internal knowledge and improve search results. Knowledge graphs can also improve the results of AI or machine learning systems. In this course, blockchain technology leader Daniel Burgwinkel explains what knowledge graphs are, offers examples and use cases, gives you practical recommendations on how to implement knowledge graphs, and shows you how to build a knowledge base. This course is aimed at data stewards, digital transformation managers, and data scientists who are responsible for data stocks and knowledge management

Martin Bojowald, "Foundations of Quantum Cosmology"
English | ISBN: 0750324589 | 2020 | 348 pages | PDF | 7 MB
This book lays the foundations of quantum cosmology, developing classical cosmology and quantum physics based on general principles without requiring detailed background knowledge in these fields. Throughout the book, the discussion focuses on the physical meaning of space-time - classical or quantum - and on the important requirement of general covariance. Various classical models are derived from this condition and applied to basic questions in cosmology and the physics of black holes. The book's introduction of relevant ingredients from quantum physics makes it possible to derive fundamental features of quantum cosmology, to present the main approaches to quantum gravity, including string theory and causal dynamical triangulations, and to outline some of their cosmological implications. It is an essential guide for researchers in quantum gravity and astrophysicists interested in fundamental aspects of cosmology.
