Åren 1947 1967 förändrades Sverige i snabb takt. Den tekniska utvecklingen och den ekonomiska tillväxten saknade motstycke och lade grunden inte bara för ett ojämförligt välstånd utan också för djupa sociala och kulturella förskjutningar. Allt som hade tagits för givet utmanades. Radikalism fick ett egenvärde. Avantgardet blev mainstream. Med texter av bland andra Yvonne Hirdman, Kalle Lind, Birgitta Holm.

The world is on the verge of fully ushering in the fourth industrial revolution, of which artificial intelligence (AI) is the most important new general-purpose technology. Like the steam engine that led to the widespread commercial use of driving machineries in the industries during the first industrial revolution; the internal combustion engine that gave rise to cars, trucks, and airplanes; electricity that caused the second industrial revolution through the discovery of direct and alternating current; and the Internet, which led to the emergence of the information age, AI is a transformational technology. It will cause a paradigm shift in the way’s problems are solved in every aspect of our lives, and, from it, innovative technologies will emerge. AI is the theory and development of machines that can imitate human intelligence in tasks such as visual perception, speech recognition, decision-making, and human language translation. This book provides a complete overview on the deep learning applications and deep neural network architectures. It also gives an overview on most advanced future-looking fundamental research in deep learning application in artificial intelligence. Research overview includes reasoning approaches, problem solving, knowledge representation, planning, learning, natural language processing, perception, motion and manipulation, social intelligence and creativity. It will allow the reader to gain a deep and broad knowledge of the latest engineering technologies of AI and Deep Learning and is an excellent resource for academic research and industry applications.
What's the problem with literacy at college? How might everyday literacy be harnessed for educational ends?Based on the first major study of literacy practices in colleges in the UK, this book explores the reading and writing associated with learning subjects across the college curriculum. It investigates literacy practices in which students engage outside of college, and teaching and learning strategies through which these can help support the curriculum. With insightful analyses of innovative practices, it considers ways of changing teaching practices to enable students to draw upon their full potential.Recent research work has challenged the myth of individual student deficit, arguing cogently that people have ‘funds of knowledge’ from diverse and vibrant cultural roots, and that these have been misguidedly disqualified by the education system. It has claimed that different ‘ways with words’ can provide valuable resources for learning. However, the empirical exploration of this claim has lagged far behind the theoretical debate. Improving Learning in College resolves this by showing the integrity and richness of the literacy practices of a significant population, not previously the focus of such research: those who take vocational and academic college courses in colleges. It addresses an issue which has not until now been developed within this research tradition: that of how these practices can not only be valued and validated, but mobilised and harnessed to enhance learning in educational settings.This book will interest all teachers, teacher-educators and researchers concerned with post-compulsory education and vocational education in compulsory schooling.

Katschen & The Book of Joseph makes an amazing American debut for Israeli writer Yoel Hoffmann. Intensely moving, the two novellas display the entirely original poetry and hypnotic verve of Hoffmann's atomized language, which Rosmarie Waldrop has called "utterly enchanting--it is like nothing else." "The Book of Joseph" tells the tragic story of a widowed Jewish tailor and his son in 1930s Berlin. "Katschen" gives an astounding child's-eye view of a boy orphaned in Palestine. "When Yoel Hoffmann's books first appeared in the late 1980s," Professor Nili Gold has commented, "they seemed to have tunneled their way into Israel from afar....Technically of the same generation (the 'Generation of the State') as canonical realist writers like A.B. Yehoshua and Amos Oz, he didn't begin to publish fiction until his late forties, and in many ways he represents a generation of one, at the edge of the Israeli avant-garde."

A searing portrait of young Black people's day-to-day lives growing up in marginalized communities—and how to help.In underserved communities across the United States, violence, food insecurity, unstable housing, lead poisoning, and other factors such as racist redlining policies negatively impact young people's everyday experiences—and their futures. What opportunities are available to young Black people living in these neighborhoods? What are their survival expectations? Who can they look to for support? In this searing portrait of today's youth, Lorece V. Edwards offers a thought-provoking and timely account of the day-to-day experience of living in America's neglected neighborhoods. Edwards examines the reality of growing up Black in marginalized communities and provides a nuanced, systems-level perspective of the daily lives of these youths. Many of the practices for which these young people are demonized are simply survival strategies. Structural violence plays a key role in their opportunities to be successful. Using Baltimore as a case study, Edwards examines the historical roots of how these neighborhoods developed, from the detrimental impacts of historical redlining policies during the 1930s to continued disinvestment in Black communities today. The narrative is enriched through the poignant, firsthand accounts of youth who live in these neighborhoods. Incorporating the results of longitudinal research projects focused on sexual health, substance use, communicable diseases, and decision-making among minority youth residing in the inner city, Edwards provides recommendations for how to address systemic issues and change the trajectory of these children's futures.
