Adolescents in Humanitarian Crisis: Displacement, Gender and Social Inequalities -Routledge Humanitarian StudiesAdolescents in Humanitarian Crisis investigates the experiences of adolescents displaced by humanitarian crisis.The world is currently seeing unprecedented levels of mass displacement, and almost half of the world’s 70 million displaced people are children and adolescents under the age of 18. Displacement for adolescents comes with huge disruption to their education and employment prospects, as well as increased risks of poor psychosocial outcomes and sexual and gender-based violence for girls. Considering these intersectional vulnerabilities throughout, this book explores the experiences of adolescents from refugee, internally displaced persons and stateless communities in Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine and Rwanda. Drawing on innovative mixed-methods research, the book investigates adolescent capabilities, including education, health and nutrition, freedom from violence and bodily integrity, psychosocial wellbeing, voice and agency, and economic empowerment.Centring the diverse voices and experiences of young people and focusing on how policy and programming can be meaningfully improved, this book will be a vital guide for humanitarian students and researchers, and for practitioners seeking to build effective, evidence-based policy.The Open Access version of this book, available at http://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/e/9781003167013, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives 4.0 license.ISBN 10: 036776461XISBN 13: 9780367764616

AI Snake Oil: What Artificial Intelligence Can Do, What It Can’t, and How to Tell the DifferenceFrom two of TIME’s 100 Most Influential People in AI, what you need to know about AI—and how to defend yourself against bogus AI claims and productsConfused about AI and worried about what it means for your future and the future of the world? You’re not alone. AI is everywhere—and few things are surrounded by so much hype, misinformation, and misunderstanding. In AI Snake Oil, computer scientists Arvind Narayanan and Sayash Kapoor cut through the confusion to give you an essential understanding of how AI works and why it often doesn’t, where it might be useful or harmful, and when you should suspect that companies are using AI hype to sell AI snake oil—products that don’t work, and probably never will.While acknowledging the potential of some AI, such as ChatGPT, AI Snake Oil uncovers rampant misleading claims about the capabilities of AI and describes the serious harms AI is already causing in how it’s being built, marketed, and used in areas such as education, medicine, hiring, banking, insurance, and criminal justice. The book explains the crucial differences between types of AI, why organizations are falling for AI snake oil, why AI can’t fix social media, why AI isn’t an existential risk, and why we should be far more worried about what people will do with AI than about anything AI will do on its own. The book also warns of the dangers of a world where AI continues to be controlled by largely unaccountable big tech companies.By revealing AI’s limits and real risks, AI Snake Oil will help you make better decisions about whether and how to use AI at work and home.ISBN 10: 069124913XISBN 13: 9780691249131
Alfabetismo, escritura, sociedad: Prólogo de Roger Chartier y Jean Hébrard -Spanish EditionA partir de una disciplina erudita como es la paleografía –el estudio de la escritura y de los signos en libros y documentos antiguos– el célebre medievalista italiano Armando Petrucci nos presenta la apasionante historia de los libros y la lectura en Occidente en esta obra clásica y referente indiscutible en su campo. De la práctica del «escribir sin leer» característica de la alta Edad Media, hasta los libros de mano o de alforja, que llegarán años después de la invención de la imprenta, Petrucci nos acompaña en un fascinante viaje para conocer los modos en que la tinta, la pasta, la cola y demás materias se entremezclaron para generar un universo de sentido que ha marcado el desarrollo de la historia europea y universal. Este libro analiza con ingenio e inteligencia la construcción de la vasta biblioteca de Occidente para descubrir los fascinantes entresijos de la cultura del libro y, en suma, los fundamentos materiales de nuestras formas de pensar.ISBN 10: 8418193131ISBN 13: 9788418193132

Analysing Architecture: The universal language of place-makingNow in its fifth edition, Analysing Architecture has become internationally established as the best introduction to architecture. Aimed primarily at those studying architecture, it offers a clear and accessible insight into the workings of this rich and fascinating subject. With copious illustrations from his own notebooks, the author dissects examples from around the world and all periods of history to explain the underlying strategies in architectural design and show how drawing may be used as a medium for analysis.In this new edition, Analysing Architecture has been revised and expanded. Notably, the chapter on ‘How Analysis Can Help Design’ has been redeveloped to clearly explain this crucially important aspect of study to a beginner readership. Four new chapters have been added to the section dealing with Themes in Spatial Organisation, on ‘Axis’, ‘Grid’, ‘Datum Place’ and ‘Hidden’. Material from the 'Case Studies' in previous editions has been redistributed amongst earlier chapters. The ‘Introduction' has been completely rewritten; and the format of the whole book has been adjusted to allow for the inclusion of more and better illustrative examples.Works of architecture are instruments for managing, orchestrating, modifying our relationship with the world around us. They frame just about everything we do. Architecture is complex, subtle, frustrating… but ultimately extremely rewarding. It can be a difficult discipline to get to grips with; nothing in school quite prepares anyone for the particular demands of an architecture course. But this book will help.www.instagram.com/analysingarchitectureISBN 10: 0367523574ISBN 13: 9780367523572

Aprenda Mineracao de Dados: Teoria e PraticaNormalmente livros de Mineração de Dados são gigantescos, carregados de muita teoria e fórmulas mirabolantes. Se o leitor conseguir chegar ao final da leitura, pouco terá entendido sobre as fórmulas ou mesmo como associar a teoria com a prática; a final, como isso tudo se aplica no meu dia a dia? Aprenda Mineração de Dados é um livro escrito pensando em outra abordagem: primeiro: a teoria é vista nos seus fundamentos, sem a necessidade de discutir funções matemáticas, que na prática, não terão nenhuma utilidade. Toda a teoria é detalhadamente explicada e bem ilustrada, sempre que possível. Depois, o leitor vê na prática como funciona aquilo que aprendeu no capitulo passado, sempre com dados de casos reais e usando uma ferramenta simples e didática: o Weka. Esta abordagem o autor tem usado com sucesso para ensinar Mineração de Dados a dezenas de alunos. Ainda, a obra acompanha uma série de exercícios, que são respondidos ao final do livro. Dados produzidos em grande escala, com velocidade e variedade nunca antes imaginados e que a tecnologia atual tem dificuldade para armazenar e processar. Você houve falar de Big Data todos os dias! Mas do que adianta uma montanha de dados se não formos capazes de extrair valor? Como saber se uma transação é fraudulenta? Como avaliar qual o melhor tipo de lente de contato para uma pessoa? Como saber se um paciente tem tendência a diabetes? Qual doença afeta uma plantação? Que produtos vendem mais juntos? Quem vai vencer a eleição? Quais alunos irão reprovar? Quanto investir em uma campanha eleitoral para ser eleito? Que campanhas de marketing serão mais efetivas?
