The breakneck speed of change in today’s societies creates enormous challenges for educational institutions at all levels. This volume explores ways how to manage change in educational processes and contexts, focusing, in particular, on the concepts of transition and transformation.

How do we prepare students and employees to cope adequately with changes and transitions in their careers and personal lives?

Machine vision technology has created a strong interest among research organizations, resulting in many innovative products. Despite this end users have been very skeptical towards machine vision and its robustness in harsh industrial environments. This book presents the results of a national machine vision technology program aimed at boosting research and putting research results to work in practical industrial applications. The topics to be covered include image acquisition, analysis of surface color and texture, applications of machine vision in surface inspection and process control, 3-D measurements, and CAD-based machine vision.

This book examines how young people in Europe construct their political identities. Based on small discussion groups with 2000 young people across 29 European states, Alistair Ross explores how 13 to 20 year olds build identities in contemporary society, creating contingent narratives of local, national and European identities with families, friends and social media. As well as exploring what these kaleidoscopic identities look like and the sources they draw on, it also examines how these accounts are assembled and integrated with each other. The study uses deliberative discussions to allow young people to develop their own constructs and terms in conversation with each other. This analysis presents a complex polyphonic of political beliefs and values of rights, which young Europeans attach to political structures and institutions that often transcend traditional boundaries of state and nation. Finding Political Identities will be of interest to postgraduate students and academics across Education, Sociology, Politics and European Studies, especially those with a focus on Social Constructionism, Citizenship, Identity Studies, Social Policy, and Youth Studies.
Sensuelleja novelleja pitkän linjan sanataiturilta! Entä jos vain sulkisi kaikki sometilit, lahjoittaisi läppärin pois ja lähtisi Pariisiin? Tai jospa saisi mahdollisuuden häipyä koko planeetalta ja jättää arjen kurjuus taakseen? Joskus taas tarvitaan aivan kirjaimellisesti pelastavaa enkeliä. Huijarit on kokoelma taitavasti kirjotettuja, jännittäviä ja eroottisiakin kertomuksia. Kokoelman kymmenessä novellissa tavataan naisia, miehiä, jotakin siltä väliltä, ja jopa avaruusrobotteja. Huijarit tarjoaa laajan ja kiehtovan kattauksen pakoa arjesta imelyyteen sortumatta ja huumoria unohtamatta.
