Since the publication of Edward Said's groundbreaking work Orientalism 35 years ago, numerous studies have explored the West's fraught and enduring fascination with the so-called Orient. Focusing their critical attention on the literary and pictorial arts, these studies have, to date, largely neglected the world of interior design. Oriental Interiors is the first book to fully explore the formation and perception of eastern-inspired interiors from an orientalist perspective.
Orientalist spaces in the West have taken numerous forms since the 18th century to the present day, and the fifteen chapters in this collection reflect that diversity, dealing with subjects as varied and engaging as harems, Turkish baths on RMS Titanic, Parisian bachelor quarters, potted palms, and contemporary yoga studios. It explores how furnishings, surface treatments, ornament and music, for example, are deployed to enhance the exoticism and pleasures of oriental spaces, looking across a range of international locations. Organized into three parts, each introduced by the editor, the essays are grouped by theme to highlight critical paths into the intersections between orientalist studies, spatial theory, design studies, visual culture and gender studies, making this essential reading for students and researchers alike.

Conscious and unconscious bias, societal pressures, and discomfort with women’s ambition are issues that women are confronted with in any male-dominated setting, and tech is no exception. Statistically, women are a disproportionately small percentage of the technology industry. How did we get here, what is changing, and what can future generations of women in STEM expect?
In Crushing the IT Gender Bias, author Kellyn Pot’Vin-Gorman applies her two decades of experience in tech to these meaningful questions, plus many more. As a mentor and sponsor of women in the database and development communities, Pot’Vin-Gorman uses experience, visualizations of hard data, and industry interviews to describe the many challenges that women face in STEM. She then shows you how to inoculate against them. Small, positive changes like these are similar to a vaccine: they build individual immunity and thus create herd immunity to protect the most vulnerable. This shift is accomplished through increased representation of—and direct exposure to—successful role models in the industry.
You’ll get practical advice related to hiring practices, salary negotiations, and barriers to collaboration. After witnessing multiple female peers depart the tech world, Pot’Vin-Gorman has written Crushing the IT Gender Bias to make her voice heard and to start this necessary conversation productively so that women can thrive. Additionally, this book is for male professionals who desire to grow in their understanding and eliminate bias in their environments.
Do not be content with mere survival. Read this book, practice the techniques, and, most importantly, learn how to pay it forward. By arming yourself with knowledge and facing bias head-on, you can be the meaningful change that you want to see in the tech industry.
Who This Book Is For
Women in any area of technology with a desire to make and lead positive change by eliminating conscious and unconscious bias along with strategically confronting the many issues facing women in a field dominated by cultural bias. The book appeals to those just starting a career through to seasoned professionals, and even to those entering the management tier. This book also welcomes men with a desire to grow in their understanding and eliminate bias in the world around them.
Автор: Gendreau Michel, Potvin Jean-Yves Название: Handbook of Metaheuristics ISBN: 3030081737 ISBN-13(EAN): 9783030081737 Издательство: Springer Рейтинг: Цена: 167700.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: The third edition of this handbook is designed to provide a broad coverage of the concepts, implementations, and applications in metaheuristics. The book’s chapters serve as stand-alone presentations giving both the necessary underpinnings as well as practical guides for implementation. The nature of metaheuristics invites an analyst to modify basic methods in response to problem characteristics, past experiences, and personal preferences, and the chapters in this handbook are designed to facilitate this process as well. This new edition has been fully revised and features new chapters on swarm intelligence and automated design of metaheuristics from flexible algorithm frameworks. The authors who have contributed to this volume represent leading figures from the metaheuristic community and are responsible for pioneering contributions to the fields they write about. Their collective work has significantly enriched the field of optimization in general and combinatorial optimization in particular.
Metaheuristics are solution methods that orchestrate an interaction between local improvement procedures and higher level strategies to create a process capable of escaping from local optima and performing a robust search of a solution space. In addition, many new and exciting developments and extensions have been observed in the last few years. Hybrids of metaheuristics with other optimization techniques, like branch-and-bound, mathematical programming or constraint programming are also increasingly popular. On the front of applications, metaheuristics are now used to find high-quality solutions to an ever-growing number of complex, ill-defined real-world problems, in particular combinatorial ones. This handbook should continue to be a great reference for researchers, graduate students, as well as practitioners interested in metaheuristics.

Описание: Les systemes educatifs contemporains s’ouvrent a un nombre croissant de professionnels amenes a effectuer des interventions determinantes pour assurer la reussite educative et scolaire. Les enseignants, en premiere ligne, sont toutefois peu prepares a cette evolution qui les conduit a collaborer avec les multiples acteurs de l’education exterieurs a l’ecole. Des cultures professionnelles specifiques, des codes differents, des zones et des temps d’intervention distincts accentuent encore la difficulte de mise en place d’alliances educatives. Dans la lutte contre le decrochage scolaire, un decloisonnement et un partenariat avec les professionnels des domaines tels que l’aide a la jeunesse, la sante, la justice ou l’economie permettent d’ameliorer l’efficience de l’ecole. Dans ce contexte, des alliances educatives emergent a differents niveaux : micro, en partenariat « jeune – famille – ecole » ; meso, en inclusion avec des acteurs de spheres telles que : social, sante ou justice ; et enfin, macro, en englobant les niveaux micro et meso, ou des dispositifs communautaires mobilisent de larges alliances educatives au sein de regions entieres. Cet ouvrage donne la parole a des chercheurs et des praticiens impliques dans des alliances educatives entre divers acteurs. Ils y font etat des besoins couverts, des modeles utilises, des ressources mobilisees et de diverses pratiques, tout en s’interrogeant sur les valeurs en toile de fond et les aspects contextuels.
