Walking Towards Justice, Volume 9: Democratization in Rural Life - Original PDF
Walking Towards Justice, Volume 9: Democratization in Rural Life - Original PDF
نویسندگان: M. Bell, Fred Hendricks خلاصه: Democracy is back, at least as a topic of concern among rural sociologists. The Neoliberal cast of the recent pursuit of globalization in world politics has led to the development of a wide range of critiques united by the same question: what about democracy? From this perspective, the main issue with globalization is the globalization of what - the market or the policy, the citizen as consumer or the citizen as citizen. This volume brings together some of the recent work of rural sociologists on democracy, in an effort to bring into sharper focus this work's distinctive contributions to the understanding the question of what is and should be globalized, with particular emphasis on rural concerns and rural people. Half the world still lives in rural areas, and the entire world depends upon the success of rural areas in providing the means for human subsistence. The impact of globalization on rural democratization thus has implications for everyone. The volume has three sections. The first draws together a range of theoretical work on rural democratization. The second explores processes of rural democratization in the rich countries of the world. The third investigates the distinctive manifestations of rural democratization efforts in the poor countries.

Handbook of Social Capital: The Troika of Sociology, Political Science and Economics - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Gert Tinggaard Svendsen, Gunnar Lind Haase Svendsen خلاصه: When Tocqueville visited the United States in the 1830s, it was our propensity for civic association that impressed him as the key to making democracy work. "Americans of all ages, all stations in life, and all types of disposition:' he observed, "are forever forming associations. There are not only commercial and industrial associations in which all take part, but others of a thousand different types--religious, moral, serious, futile, very general and very limited, immensely large and very minute.... Nothing, in my view, deserves more attention than the intellectual and moral associations in America." Robert D. Putnam's famous 1995 essay, Bowling Alone, introduced many to the concept of social capital.

Practical Guide to High Performance Engineering Plastics - Original PDF
Practical Guide to High Performance Engineering Plastics - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Kemmish, David J. خلاصه: High performance engineering plastics are used in a vast range of applications and environments. They are becoming increasingly important because of trends towards more reliable and higher performance machines and devices. This book gives readers a working knowledge and understanding of high performance engineering plastics. It starts with a simple, practical overview of key properties and principles. In each of the chapters there are sections on production chemistry, product forms, properties, processing and applications. There is a strong bias towards materials and concepts which are used in practice. The materials covered include high performance Polyethersulfones, Polyetherimides, Polyphthalamides, Polyphenylene Sulfide, Polyaryletherketones, Polyamideimides, Polyimides, Polybenzimidazole, Liquid Crystalline Polyesters and Perfluoropolymers. The reader will develop the ability to understand why materials are chosen for certain applications, why those materials have particular properties and how those properties can be modified. This will facilitate conversations with both materials suppliers and end users. It will help to identify the best and most cost effective solutions.
Mind design II: philosophy, psychology, artificial intelligence - Original PDF
Mind design II: philosophy, psychology, artificial intelligence - Original PDF
نویسندگان: John Haugeland خلاصه: Mind design is the endeavor to understand mind (thinking, intellect) in terms of its design (how it is built, how it works). Unlike traditional empirical psychology, it is more oriented toward the "how" than the "what. An experiment in mind design is more likely to be an attempt to build something and make it work - as in artificial intelligence - than to observe or analyze what already exists. Mind design is psychology by reverse engineering.

نویسندگان: Joe Duarte خلاصه: Abstract: Risk management solutions for today's high-speed investing environment Real-Time Risk is the first book to show regular, institutional, and quantitative investors how to navigate intraday threats and stay on-course. The FinTech revolution has brought massive changes to the way investing is done. Trading happens in microsecond time frames, and while risks are emerging faster and in greater volume than ever before, traditional risk management approaches are too slow to be relevant.

Accessible, straightforward explanations shed light on little-understood topics, and expert guidance helps investors protect themselves from new threats. The discussion dissects FinTech innovation to highlight the ongoing disruption, and to establish a toolkit of approaches for analyzing flash crashes, aggressive high frequency trading, and other specific aspects of the market. Today's investors face an environment in which computers and infrastructure merge, regulations allow dozens of exchanges to coexist, and globalized business facilitates round-the-clock deals. This book shows you how to navigate today's investing environment safely and profitably, with the latest in risk-management thinking. -Discover risk management that works within micro-second trading -Understand the nature and impact of real-time risk, and how to protect yourself -Learn why flash crashes happen, and how to mitigate damage in advance -Examine the FinTech disruption to established business models and practices When technology collided with investing, the boom created stratospheric amounts of data that allows us to plumb untapped depths and discover solutions that were unimaginable 20 years ago. Real-Time Risk describes these solutions, and provides practical guidance for today's savvy investor
Trading in Uncertainty: Entrepreneurship, Morality and Trust in a Vietnamese Textile-Handling Village - Original PDF
Trading in Uncertainty: Entrepreneurship, Morality and Trust in a Vietnamese Textile-Handling Village - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Esther Horat (auth.) خلاصه: This short ethnographic prelude provides a brief glance at the themes that will be covered in this book. Not only the vast spatial reach of trade relations, but also the resourcefulness and the flexibility of Ninh Hiệp people are remarkable. Quân’s family is not a single case, but fairly typ- ical in several ways: in many families trading has been an occupation that was passed down from one generation to the next, and along with it knowledge, skills, and networks. Travelling up the vertical ties within families are acts of physical, emotional and financial care. Thus, favours and affects reinforce each other in both directions. As the political and economic environment has undergone considerable transformation in the last couple of decades, the social and spatial organisation of trade has changed as well. Quân, Mrs. Quy and Mrs. Sửu all have or had to deal with challenges embedded in the context of a particular time. To be confronted with situations of risk and uncertainty—albeit different ones—is also what connects their experiences with trade: risking to be caught when trade was banned; fearing to lose one’s stall in the wake
Advanced Algorithmic Trading - Original PDF
Advanced Algorithmic Trading - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Michael Halls Moore خلاصه: The aim of this book is to provide the "next step" for those who have already begun their quantitative trading career or are looking to try more advanced methods. In particular the book will discuss techniques that are currently in deployment at some of the large quantitative hedge funds and asset management firms. Our main area of study will be that of rigourous statistical analysis. This may sound like a dry topic, but rest assured that it is not only extremely interesting when applied to real world data, but also provides a solid "mental framework" for how to think about future trading methods and approaches. Statistical analysis is a huge field of academic interest and only a fraction of the field can be considered within this book. Trying to distill the topics important for quantitative trading is difficult. However three main areas have been chosen for discussion: • Bayesian Statistics • Time Series Analysis • Machine Learning Each of these three areas is extremely useful for quantitative trading research.
