Development Economics through the Decades: A Critical Look at Thirty Years of the World Development Report By Yusuf Shahid
2008 | 178 Pages | ISBN: 0821372556 | EPUB | 1 MB
Since 1978, the World Bank's annual World Development Report (WDR) has provided in-depth analysis and policy recommendations on a specific and important aspect of international development from agriculture, the role of the state, economic growth, and labor to infrastructure, health, the environment, and poverty. In the process, it has become a highly influential publication that is consulted by international organizations, national governments, scholars, and civil society networks to inform their decision-making processes.In this essay, Shahid Yusuf examines the last 30 years of development economics, viewed through the WDRs. The essay begins with a brief background on the circumstances of newly independent developing countries and summarizes some of the main strands of the emerging field of development economics. It then provides a sweeping examination of the coverage of the WDRs, reflecting on the key development themes synthesized by these reports and assessing how the research they present has contributed to policy making and development thought. The book then looks ahead and points to some of the big challenges that the World Bank may explore through future WDRs. The essay is followed by five commentaries, each written by a distinguished economist or development practitioner, which further explore this terrain from different perspectives. Together, the contents of this volume provide an extraordinary and remarkably compact tour of development economics through, around, and beyond the WDR. It will be invaluable to anyone interested in the evolution of development economics over the past three decades as well as for students, scholars, and policy makers in the field of development.

Development of Tense/Aspect in Semitic in the Context of Afro-Asiatic Languages By Vit Bubenik
2017 | 250 Pages | ISBN: 9027248567 | EPUB | 1 MB
The author applies the comparative method for the reconstruction of earlier aspectual systems in the Afro-Asiatic phylum of languages. Moving 'upstream' from the documented systems of Semitic, Berber and Old Cushitic the state of affairs during the common stage of Proto-Semito-Berbero-Cushitic is reconstructed. With the addition of Egyptian and Chadic data important conclusions regarding the elusive Proto-Afro-Asiatic are reached. Moving 'downstream' the trajectory of individual aspectual systems through their later stages is analyzed. A central piece of the monograph is the reconstruction of intermediate stages reflecting the long-term developments of aspectual and temporal categories of individual languages from the Old towards their Middle periods. The continuity and innovation in the aspectual systems towards the contemporary state of affairs in analytic (serial) constructions of Modern Aramaic and Arabic vernacular languages is explicated. The author demonstrates that it is imperative to work in a larger typological framework and that in the field of Afro-Asiatic linguistics valuable insights can be gained from the study of parallel phenomena in Indo-European languages. At the same time, Indo-Europeanists will profit from the study of typologically earlier aspect-prominent systems of Afro-Asiatic languages. The monograph offers important contributions to our understanding of universals and to the typology and diachrony of tense and aspect.

2006 | 241 Pages | ISBN: 086571567X | PDF | 1 MB
Type 2 diabetes is a social pandemic caused by toxic environments - high in stress and sugar, low in opportunities to exercise or feel good about yourself - and a lack of power. Millions are suffering and being blamed for it; communities devastated; health systems bankrupted. Diabetes: Sugar-Coated Crisis describes the social sources of the toxic environment, covering deeper causes, too: the stress and inequality built into our modern culture, the traumas and loss of community that make people vulnerable to illness. It reveals the medical mistreatment of diabetes - from kicking diabetics off medical insurance to underfunding diabetes education, from over-emphasizing drugs to giving corporate-influenced dietary advice. Social diseases require social solutions. Social approaches focus on empowering people to take better care of themselves, bringing people together for mutual support, and changing the environment that causes illness. The first book to bring to life effective social approaches to wellness, this book: reports success stories from communities around the world highlights creative and effective medical programs developed by groundbreaking health care providers describes ways that individual self-care plus family and community involvement, combined with health care system support, can control chronic illness, change environments, and transform people's lives, and includes valuable diabetes self-care tips and resources.

Diary of an Invasion: The Russian Invasion of Ukraine By Andrey Kurkov
2022 | 291 Pages | ISBN: 1914495845 | EPUB | 1 MB
This journal of the invasion, a collection of Andrey Kurkov's writings and broadcasts from Kyiv, is a remarkable record of a brilliant writer at the forefront of a 21st-century war. Andrey Kurkov has been a consistent satirical commentator on his adopted country of Ukraine. His most recent work, Grey Bees, is a dark foreshadowing of the devastation in the eastern part of Ukraine in which only two villagers remain in a village bombed to smithereens. The author has lived in Kyiv and in the remote countryside of Ukraine throughout the Russian invasion. He has also been able to fly to European capitals where he has been working to raise money for charities and to address crowded halls. Kurkov has been asked to write for every English newspaper, as also to be interviewed all over Europe. He has become an important voice for his people. Kurkov sees every video and every posted message, and he spends the sleepless nights of continuous bombardment of his city delivering the truth about this invasion to the world.

Diasporic Identities within Afro-Hispanic and African Contexts By Yaw Agawu-Kakraba; Komla F. Aggor
2015 | 122 Pages | ISBN: 1443875597 | PDF | 1 MB
Diasporic Identities within Afro-Hispanic and African Contexts explores the complexities underlying the identity formation of peoples of African ancestry in the Spanish-speaking world and of expatriate immigrants who inhabit colonized territories in Africa. Although current diaspora studies provide provocative perspectives on migration that have various cultural, national, political and economic implications, any engagement of the subject readily runs into theoretical and practical challenges. At stake here is the question of finding an ideal conceptualization of diaspora. Should the term be limited to migration that is purely voluntary or to a traumatic exile? What about generational differences that, invariably, impact the imagining of diaspora? How does diaspora relate to creolization, hybridity and transculturation? This volume does not argue for what constitutes a proper diaspora, but rather re-contextualizes the concept of diaspora from the point of view of identity formation on the basis of voluntary and non-voluntary migration. The essays gathered together here engage with the unified topic of identity, but radiate a stimulating variety in geographic coverage - examining countries such as Cuba, Nicaragua, Morocco, Angola, and Spain - and in thematic approach - from religion to a poetics of self-affirmation to issues of political conflict, subalternity and migration.

Did He Say That? : The Difficult Words of Jesus By Charles Sigel; Mitchell B. Mackinem
2016 | 104 Pages | ISBN: 1498280617 | EPUB | 1 MB
This book explores some of the "difficult" sayings of Jesus. They are "hard" sayings because through the centuries these sayings challenge the church and continue to challenge us. This study explores both how the church through its history has handled these sayings and what these sayings may say to us today. Over the centuries there have been many attempts to soften these saying to make them more palatable to the contemporary church. This book explores these alternatives while allowing the reader or class to come to their own answers about the meaning of these passages. Through careful examination of the wording, key terms, historical context, and the historical attempts to understand the "hard" saying, this book will allow the reader or class to explore the saying in greater detail and clarity.

Die Selbsterhaltung der Vernunft: Kant und die Modernität seines Denkens By Heiner F. Klemme
2023 | 120 Pages | ISBN: 3465046196 | PDF | 1 MB
How can we find our bearings in the world without losing ourselves, how can we preserve our rational abilities and capacities? Kant is the philosopher of pure reason and the categorical imperative. But his reflections on the self-preservation of reason also show him as a philosopher with a clear awareness of what matters in our lives: self-approval and self-reliance, self-thinking and criticism, enlightenment and humanity, justice and freedom, overcoming our self-inflicted dependency, and the exchange of arguments and perspectives. With its focus on the self-preservation of reason, the book offers a new approach to Kant's work and offers a contribution to the debate about the modernity of his thought.

Digital Media and Early Child Development: Theoretical and Empirical Issues by Giana Bitencourt Frizzo
English | November 19, 2024 | ISBN: 3031692233 | 290 pages | MOBI | 1.97 Mb
This book analyzes how the use of digital media by young children can affect their development. Children are starting to use digital media at an earlier age and this use is increasing. With the adoption of technology moving so quickly, research in the area also needs to evolve, and new theoretical and methodological approaches are needed. This book aims to contribute to this field of study by presenting new theoretical frameworks and methodological approaches to help advance research; by discussing results of empirical studies carried out with young children and their caregivers; and by proposing possible interventions to help parents and caregivers better oversee their children's digital media use.

Chapters in this volume are divided into five parts. The first part is dedicated to discussing theoretical and methodological issues involved in the study of digital media use by young children. The second part presents empirical studies that investigate the potential impacts of digital media use in child development. The third part brings together studies analyzing digital media use and early child development during the COVID-19 pandemic. Chapters in the fourth part analyze how digital media use affects parenthood. And the fifth and final part presents proposals of educational interventions to help parents and caregivers oversee their young children's digital media consumption.
Digital Media and Early Child Development: Theoretical and Empirical Issues will be of interest to different kinds of researchers and practitioners working with child, family and media studies. Researchers in the fields of developmental psychology and media studies will find innovative theoretical and methodological proposals to study how young children interact with digital media. While child and family psychologists, social workers and pediatricians will find useful information to understand when digital media use can cause problems to children and their families.

Digital Social Mind By John Bolender
2011 | 104 Pages | ISBN: 1845401972 | EPUB | 1 MB
This book argues that relational cognition, a form of social cognition, exhibits digital infinity as does language. Copies of elementary models are combined and recursively nested to form a potentially infinite number of complex models. Just as one posits proof-theoretic grammars in order to account for the digital infinity of language, one also should posit proof-theoretic grammars to account for the digital infinity of relational cognition. Objections to a proof-theoretic approach, often equally applicable both to language and to relational cognition, are considered and criticized. Such objections either posit overly complex alternatives or overlook the role of idealization in science
