Today, individuals and societies of the digital age are no longer constrained by conventional contexts, narratives, settings, and status; they are surrounded and guided by digital tools and applications leading to a digital revolution. That digital revolution changed the individual along with living styles and cultural and social relations among people. Moreover, these revolutionary changes and the increasing capabilities of smart devices have brought today's people a new kind of public sphere with questionable freedoms but also restraints in its digital dimensions. Now, it is possible to talk about the digital dimension and equivalence of all the concepts that are both individually and soci...
As a movement, transhumanism aims to upgrade the human body through science, constantly pushing back the limits of a person by using cutting-edge technologies to fix the human body and upgrade it beyond its natural abilities. Transhumanism can not only change human habits, but it can also change learning practices. By improving human learning, it improves the human organism beyond natural and biological limits. The Handbook of Research on Learning in the Age of Transhumanism is an essential research publication that discusses global values, norms, and ethics that relate to the diverse needs of learners in the digital world and addresses future priorities and needs for transhumanism. The book will identify and scrutinize the needs of learners in the age of transhumanism and examine best practices for transhumanist leaders in learning. Featuring topics such as cybernetics, pedagogy, and sociology, this book is ideal for educators, trainers, instructional designers, curriculum developers, professionals, researchers, academicians, policymakers, and librarians.
Bilgi, iletiÅŸim ve kitlelerin hareketlendirilmesi milenyumdaki temel kavramlar haline gelmiÅŸtir. YaÅŸamdaki her deÄŸerin, karşımıza çıkan her bir yenilikle birlikte, düşünebileceÄŸimiz her kavramın yeniden yapılandırıldığı bir dönemden geçmekteyiz. Dün bildiÄŸimizi düşündüğümüz her ÅŸey bugün bambaÅŸka bir perspektifle ve dijitalleÅŸmiÅŸ görünümüyle karşımıza çıkmakta. Bir yanda, medyaya ile çepeçevre sarılmış durumda olan günümüz insanı, ne kadar bilgili, becerili olursa olsun kitle iletiÅŸim araçları, yeni medya ve dijitalleÅŸme kavramları karşısında savunmasız kalmaktadır. Bir diÄŸer yanda ise modern dönemin bulguları, bizlere daha Ã...
İletişim döngüsüne katılan her bir metin, yeni bir araştırma ve çözümleme evreni sunar. Ürettiklerimiz, devinerek, dönüşerek farklı anlamları taşımaya devam ederler. Günümüz popüler kültürü teknolojinin getirdiği hız ve dijitalleşme ortamı ile bireylere büyük bir yük getirmektedir. Medya ise hem izler kitlesini kaybetmemek amacıyla hem de belirlenmiş ürünlerin satışını sürekli kılabilmek için bireylerin ve kitlelerin düşünce, tutum ve davranışlarını neredeyse tektipleştirmektedir. Oysa bir metnin içinde hem herkesin görebileceği kadar açık, hem de kolay kolay görünmeyecek pek çok anlam gizlidir. Bu çalışma, Nazi filmlerinden, yoğurt reklamlarına, James Bond filmleri çözümlemelerinden, temizlik ürünlerine kadar farklılaşan bir düzlemde, popüler kültür öğelerinin, film konularından, reklam metinlerine varıncaya kadar toplumu ne kadar yoğun bir biçimde etkilediğini ortaya koymaktadır. Kendimizi, çevremizi ve karşılaştığımız iletişim metinlerini daha iyi anlayabilmemiz için gerekli araçları geliştirip kullanmamızı sağladıklarından bu çözümlemeler önemlidir.
Plastic pollution has been a growing concern globally, especially under the COVID-19 pandemic due to the use of personal protective equipment. While many engineers and environmental scientists have been addressing global plastic pollution, special attention must also be paid to smaller plastics such as micro- and nano-plastics. These smaller plastics pollute and affect the health of the public, environment, and marine life. Risk assessment of plastics is required to evaluate currently available treatment technologies and identify the significance of plastic pollution. Assessing the Effects of Emerging Plastics on the Environment and Public Health assesses the harmful effects of plastics on t...
International advertising is an important discipline in social sciences studies and though many books and articles have been published surrounding international advertising, only a few of them contain information about the advertising industry related to specific international countries and regions. Additional consideration on how advertising is utilized across the world is vital to understand the current best practices, challenges, and opportunities in the marketing field. The Handbook of Research on Global Perspectives on International Advertising considers various perspectives on international advertising through global and local lenses and discusses strategies and tactics of advertising across the globe. Covering topics such as branding, political advertising, cultural features, and tourism advertising, this reference work is ideal for industry professionals, academicians, practitioners, researchers, scholars, instructors, and students.
For the first time in modern human history, the response to a global health crisis was required among all countries no matter their wealth, size, or economic status. Every country was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and as it surged across the world, it took many lives with it. Thus, it is essential to study the ability of human societies to cope with the changes caused by pandemics. Societal Resilience and Response to Contagious Diseases and Pandemics adopts and maintains an interdisciplinary-transdisciplinary approach to investigating societal resilience. This book builds upon different insights of what has already been done for humanity to survive the spread of a deadly pandemic. Covering topics such as the role of healthcare professionals, political economy, and consumption culture, it is an essential resource for professionals, business leaders, policymakers, professors, graduate students, researchers, and academicians.
The 21st century is associated with a number of environmental, social, and economic challenges spanning from globalization and migration to climate change, global health, urbanization, and natural hazards. These challenges of the modern age command our immediate reaction towards an equal society. There is an urgent need for scientists, researchers, and politicians to take the reins by providing immediate solutions to tackle this harsh reality. The need for a more human approach has recently led to what we call humanitarian engineering. Modern Challenges and Approaches to Humanitarian Engineering provides relevant theoretical frameworks and the latest empirical research findings in this area. It discusses the most recent challenges and approaches in the field of humanitarian engineering and presents research, case studies, and innovative models. Covering topics such as contact tracing apps, scientific production, and sustainable management, this book is an essential resource for engineers, government officials, scientists, activists, humanitarians, emergency management agencies, students and educators of higher education, researchers, and academicians.
Agriculture is often under the threat of invasive species of animal pests and pathogens that do harm to crops. It is essential to have the best methods and tools available to prevent this harm. Biosecurity is a mixture of institutions, policies, and science applications that attempts to prevent the spread of unhealthy pests. Tactical Sciences for Biosecurity in Animal and Plant Systems focuses on the tactical sciences needed to succeed in the biosecurity objectives of preventing plant and animal pathogens from entering or leaving the United States. This book explores a divergence of tactics between plant and animal exotic disease response. Covering topics such as animal pests and pathogens, tactical management, and early detection, this book is an essential resource for researchers, academicians, university faculty, government biosecurity practitioners, customs officers, clinical scientists, and students.
Hep Ağabey dediğimiz Galip Erdem’le yaklaşık otuz yıldır tanışıyorduk. Evine gitmiştim, evimize gelmişti. Aynı sofraya oturmuşluğumuz, aynı iş ve sohbet ortamlarında bulunup, aynı toplantılara katılmışlığımız vardı. Seminerlerini, nasihatlerini dinlemiştim. Ayrıca yazılarının ve kitaplarının iyi bir okuyucusu olmanın yanında çizgili – beyaz kâğıtlara kurşun kalemle yazdığı o kargacık burgacık yazılarını çözüp daktilo etme şerefine nail olanlardan biriydim; kısacası kendisini iyi tanıyordum. Çalışmalarım sırasında bunun kolaylıklarını gördüm. Onun, benim bilmediğim yönlerini bilenler de vardı ve hepsinden önemlisi seve...
