Cosmological Implications of Quantum Anomalies

Cosmological Implications of Quantum Anomalies

The successes of the standard models of particle physics and cosmology are many, but have proven incapable of explaining all the phenomena that we observe. This book investigates the potentially important role of quantum physics, particularly quantum anomalies, in various aspects of modern cosmology, such as inflation, the dynamical generation of the visible and dark matter in the universe, and gravitational waves. By doing so, the authors demonstrate that exploring the links between cosmology and particle physics is key to helping solve the mysteries of our Universe.

Il ritratto dei soldati americani nella trilogia di David Rabe
I drammi postmoderni americani descrivono il senso del baratro da incubo su cui poggiano l'individuo, la societ e la nazione americana. Riflettono un'esistenza complessa e un senso di disintegrazione culturale. I drammi oggetto del presente studio si concentrano sull'ansia e sulle complessit dell'esistenza che derivano dallo stravolgimento dei valori morali, dalla dissoluzione della societ , dalla mancanza di comunicazione, dal divario tra linguaggio e azione, nonch dalla decadenza del mondo in generale.

Profiler Nella Sicurezza E Nella Sorveglianza

Profiler Nella Sicurezza E Nella Sorveglianza

David Francisco Camargo Hernández

Edizioni Sapienza

pokkari
Come ci sono i profilatori criminalistici e professionali, di cui ho parlato nel libro "il profiler professionale", cos ci sono i profilatori della sicurezza e della sorveglianza, che sono persone addestrate a prevenire situazioni conflittuali o pericolose nei lavori che svolgono, che sono di vitale importanza per le aziende nel loro lavoro intuitivo, predittivo e preventivo di eventi futuri, al fine di salvaguardare sia i cittadini pubblici e privati che le istituzioni dalla criminalit comune e organizzata.Il libro presenta uno studio completo di come dovrebbe essere un profiler nel campo della sicurezza e della sorveglianza, dal momento che oggi le aziende richiedono persone ben addestrate e qualificate che non si limitino ad un semplice lavoro passivo nella sicurezza e nella sorveglianza, dal momento che la persona che si dedica a questo importante lavoro deve fare un passo in pi rispetto alla gente comune, offrendo al contempo un trattamento cordiale e un servizio eccellente sia alla clientela interna che a quella esterna. Nelle societ di sicurezza c' un punto debole nel personale assunto, che non sempre adatto a posizioni di sorveglianza e sicurezza, generando rischi per le persone, le informazioni e i beni in custodia, e da cui i criminali approfittano per agire come se fossero loro stessi e restare impuniti. Con la professionalizzazione, ci si aspetta che il servizio e la qualit di coloro che lo forniscono migliorino.
David Hume's Political Theory

David Hume's Political Theory

Neil McArthur

University of Toronto Press
2007
pokkari
David Hume (1711-1776) is perhaps best known for his treatises on problems of epistemology, skepticism, and causation. A less familiar side of his intellectual output is his work on legal and political theory. David Hume's Political Theory brings together Hume's diverse writings on law and government, collected and examined with a view to revealing the philosopher's coherent and persuasive theory of politics.Through close textual analysis, Neil McArthur suggests that the key to Hume's political theory lies in its distinction between barbarous and civilized government. Throughout the study, the author explores Hume's argument that a society's progress from barbarism to civilization depends on the legal and political system by which it is governed. Ultimately, McArthur demonstrates that the skepticism apparent in much of Hume's work does not necessarily tie him to a strict conservative ideology; rather, Hume's political theory is seen to emphasize many liberal virtues as well.Based on a new conception of Hume's political philosophy, this is a groundbreaking work and a welcome addition to the existing literature.

Nellie Bly's articles, collected for the first time ever Pioneering journalist Nellie Bly is best remembered for two "stunts" her undercover expose of the Blackwell's Island insane asylum, and her race around the world to beat the record set in Jules Verne's Around The World In 80 Days. Yet those events do not begin to grasp the scope of her career as a reporter. Between 1885 and 1922, Nellie Bly penned hundreds of stories on a variety of topics. Reporting for Joseph Pulitzer's New York World, she interviewed presidential candidates and convicted criminals, sports heroes like boxer John Sullivan and wrestler William Muldoon, inspirational icons like Helen Keller and Susan B. Anthony, and many more. One week would find her undercover to expose a swindling lobbyist, the next taking up a new profession as an actress, and the next reporting on a strike. Perhaps never before has a reporter had such a wide-ranging, adventurous career Yet only a handful of her articles have been available to the public - until now Edited by author David Blixt ("What Girls Are Good For"), Nellie Bly's World collects all of Bly's reporting during her years at the New York World. Volume 1 begins with her cannon-blast debut, exposing over the course of three articles the events of her imprisonment in the Blackwell's Island insane asylum. But that's hardly all Among the 33 articles included in this collection are: What Becomes of BabiesThe Girls Who Make BoxesWanted-A Few HusbandsNellie Bly on the StageNellie Bly as a MesmeristThe King of the LobbyHow to be Cured by FaithGirls of the Wild WestHangman Joe at HomeOur First LadiesExplore the full power of Bly's Blackwing pencil at the beginning of her ascent to being the most famous woman in America
Il matrimonio nell'Africa subsahariana

Il matrimonio nell'Africa subsahariana

Alcuni decenni fa, il matrimonio tra le donne nella maggior parte dell'Africa subsahariana poteva ragionevolmente essere descritto come precoce e quasi universale. Tuttavia, in molti Paesi della regione si registra una tendenza a ritardare l'inizio del matrimonio, mentre il matrimonio precoce sta diventando meno diffuso. Questa tendenza pi evidente tra le donne urbane e pi istruite. L'aumento dell'et del primo matrimonio, a sua volta, ha giocato un ruolo importante nella transizione della fertilit in corso in alcune parti dell'Africa subsahariana. Questa monografia esamina i modelli di unione delle giovani donne (di et compresa tra i 15 e i 29 anni) in pi di due dozzine di Paesi dell'Africa subsahariana, con l'obiettivo di documentare e analizzare l'entit e la natura dei cambiamenti in corso nell'accesso all'unione che si stanno verificando nella regione. Utilizziamo i dati delle indagini demografiche e sanitarie (DHS). Dopo aver esaminato le tendenze del matrimonio, analizziamo i fattori associati a queste tendenze, in particolare l'istruzione e il benessere economico delle donne. Infine, valutiamo il ruolo del calo osservato nelle percentuali di donne unite in matrimonio nel contribuire alla transizione della fertilit in atto nell'Africa subsahariana.
