Cyber Physical, Computer and Automation System
This book is a collection of extended papers presented at the Cyber Physical, Computer and Automation System (CPCAS 2019), Bali – Indonesia, 13–15 November 2019. The book includes chapters in three prime areas: (1) autonomous systems and controls; (2) human–machine interaction and human-related engineering; and (3) interconnected things. Autonomous systems and controls are systems of engineering that work with or without human intervention. Human–machine interaction involves sensor and actuator technology to detect human behavior, intentions, and decisions and also to provide the ability of a machine to interact with humans to achieve the expected performance. Interconnected things consist of a network of computer-controlled physical mechanisms communicating with each other for efficient operation and improving system capabilities.
Adapt and Plan for the New Abnormal of the COVID-19 Coronavirus Pandemic
COVID-19 has demonstrated clearly that businesses, nonprofits, individuals, and governments are terrible at dealing effectively with large-scale disasters that take the form of slow-moving train-wrecks. Using cutting-edge research in cognitive neuroscience and behavioral economics on dangerous judgement errors (cognitive biases), this book first explains why we respond so poorly to slow-moving, high-impact, and long-term crises. Next, the book shares research-based strategies for how organizations and individuals can adapt effectively to the new abnormal of the COVID-19 pandemic and similar disasters. Finally, it shows how to develop an effective strategic plan and make the best major decisi...
The Delta Model
Strategy is the most central issue in management. It has to do with defining the purpose of an organization, understanding the market in which it operates and the capabilities the firm possesses, and putting together a winning plan. There are many influential frameworks to help managers undertake a systematic reflection on this issue. The most dominant approaches are Michael Porter’s "Competitive Strategy" and the "Resource-Based View of the Firm," popularized by Gary Hamel and C.K. Prahalad. Arnoldo Hax argues there are fundamental drawbacks in the underlying hypotheses of these approaches in that they define strategy as a way to achieve sustainable competitive advantage. This line of thi...

Double Agents
First printed in 2001 by the University of Pennsylvania Press, this book has been out of print for several years and is highly sought after by researchers in the field of Medieval cultural studies. "Double Agents" was the first book length study of women in Anglo-Saxon written culture that took on board the insights of contemporary critical theory, especially feminist theory, in order to elucidate the complex challenges of both the absence and presence of women in the historical record. That is to say, unlike the two earlier books on women in this period (by Fell, 1984, and by Chance, 1986), this is not a book about only those women in the written record (whether we think of it as historical...
Advanced English for Nursing Student
Teaching English as a Foreign Language in Indonesia faces many obstacles. Firstly, English is not day to day used so the students have difficulty to practice it. They only use it in the limited time classroom, so teachers have difficulty to make authentic situation for the students to practice the language outside the class.

The students come from different school background; some remote school may not have good teachers, especially in teaching English. Even some students have bad impression that make them hate English. The last thing is teachers still have problem to access updated book, ...
Handbook of Early Literacy Research
The field of early literacy has seen significant recent advances in theory, research, and practice. These volumes bring together leading authorities to report on current findings, integrate insights from different disciplinary perspectives, and explore ways to provide children with the strongest possible literacy foundations in the first 6 years of life. The Handbook first addresses broad questions about the nature of emergent literacy, summarizing current knowledge on cognitive pathways, biological underpinnings, and the importance of cultural contexts. Chapters in subsequent sections examine various strands of knowledge and skills that emerge as children become literate, as well as the role played by experiences with peers and families. Particular attention is devoted to the challenges involved in making schools work for all children, including members of linguistic and ethnic minority groups and children living in poverty. Finally, approaches to instruction, assessment, and early intervention are described, and up-to-date research on their effectiveness is presented.
The Glory of Sri Sri Ganesh
The Glory of Sri Sri Ganesh shows the lives of the underdogs the Lachhimsa, the Rukmanis, the Mohors and the Haroas as a contrast to the lives of their all-powerful overlords the Medinis and Ganeshes. Lachhima, whose leashed bitterness and anger of a lifetime against Medini and Ganesh is liberated at the end of the novel when Ganesh begs her to save his life, decides to save him, but on her own terms. The title of the work itself becomes a tool for subversion in this sprawling novel which takes the reader through a multilayered narrative into the socio-economic malaise of post-independence rural India. Mahasweta Devi s corrosive humour and cryptic style are at their best as she takes on issu...
