Gender Differences in Prenatal Substance Exposure

Michael Lewis, "Gender Differences in Prenatal Substance Exposure "
English | ISBN: 1433810336 | 2011 | 227 pages | PDF | 5 MB
Adverse effects of prenatal exposure to neurotoxins, including cocaine, alcohol, marijuana, and lead, are well documented and range from initial growth deficits to later cognitive and behavioral problems. Exciting new research has found that there are gender differences in these sequelae resulting in different outcomes for males and females. Namely, exposed males appear to be more vulnerable and experience greater deficits than exposed females.

Cutting-edge and thought-provoking, this volume explores a full range of topics related to gender differences in: neurological effects and sensory motor delays; brain metabolism and gene expression; growth velocity, organ maturity, cerebral vasoconstriction, oxidative stress, and sex hormone levels; andcognitive, behavioral, neurochemical, and emotional effects.

Generative AI and LLMs

Generative AI and LLMs: Natural Language Processing and Generative Adversarial Networks
English | 2024 | ISBN: 3111424634 | 393 Pages | PDF | 6 MB
Generative artificial intelligence (GAI) and large language models (LLM) are machine learning algorithms that operate in an unsupervised or semi-supervised manner. These algorithms leverage pre-existing content, such as text, photos, audio, video, and code, to generate novel content. The primary objective is to produce authentic and novel material. In addition, there exists an absence of constraints on the quantity of novel material that they are capable of generating. New material can be generated through the utilization of Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) or natural language interfaces, such as the ChatGPT developed by Open AI and Bard developed by Google.

Great Battles of the Waffen-SS (Military Handbook)

Peter Darman - Great Battles of the Waffen-SS (Military Handbook)
Grange Books | 2004 | ISBN: 1840136820 | English | 200 pages | PDF | 158.53 MB
The Waffen-SS was one of the most effective, and respected, fighting formations in the annals of warfare. Originally devised as a special guard to protect speakers at National Socialist political meetings in the 1920s, the militarized Waffen-SS grew into a force that numbered nearly one million men by the end of World War Two. This book is a compendium of the finest actions of the N.S. fighting elite in World War Two.

It was on Germany's Eastern Front, during the N.S. crusade against the Stalinist Communists, that the Waffen-SS displayed those qualities that were to create a legend: fanticism in the attack, tenacity in defense and an unwillingness to yield ground; with a mastery of mobile warfare combined with effective leadership. In this way the Waffen-SS saved the day on many occasions on the Eastern Front. This book features the bloody clashes that have since entered military folklore: Kharkiv, Kursk, Cherkassy, Caen, and the Ardennes.
Great Battles of the Waffen-SS contains clear and concise full-color battle and campaign maps that allow the reader to trace the ebb and flow of individual engagements. As well as vivid descriptions of actions, this book also analyzes the reasons why Waffen-SS units were so successful on the battlefield; continuing to fight when similar formations of any other army in their situation would have exited the battle, because most of all they contained well led highly motivated troops that became a fanatical National Socialist fighting elite.

Hampton Heights: One Harrowing Night in the Most Haunted Neighborhood in Milwaukee, Wisconsin by Dan Kois
English | September 17, 2024 | ISBN: 0063358751 | True EPUB | 208 pages | 5.3 MB
From the author of the Washington Post notable novel Vintage Contemporaries, something completely unexpected: a hair-raising and rollicking adventure set on one night in 1987, when six paperboys must confront a slew of monsters as well as their own personal demons in a haunted Midwestern neighborhood.

On a cold winter's evening in 1987, six middle-school paperboys wander an unfamiliar Milwaukee neighborhood, selling newspaper subscriptions, fueled by their manager Kevin's promises of cash bonuses and dinner at Burger King. But the freaks come out at night in Hampton Heights. Sent out into the neighborhood in pairs, the boys will encounter a host of primordial monsters-and triumph over them.
Sigmone, who is bussed to a white school, is stuck with Joel, a white kid who idolizes Black culture. Mark, who's wrestling with his sexuality, joins his secret crush, Ryan. Nishu and Al are outsiders; one is a second-generation immigrant, the other a poor kid in a rich school. Over the course of one eventful evening, the three pairs will encounter the wild things of Hampton Heights-werewolves, witches with a centuries-old story to tell, and a creepy, ancient monster who feeds on memories. Meanwhile, Kevin is having an adventure of his own, seducing a beautiful woman in the neighborhood's tavern . . . but who is actually in control?
Funny, thrilling, outrageous, and sneakily beautiful, Dan Kois's Hampton Heights captures without sentimentality the dreams and fears of teenage boys in a tender horror-comedy about camaraderie, bravery, vulnerability, and the terrifying prospect of growing up.

Health and Social Relationships The Good, the Bad, and the Complicated

Matthew L. Newman PhD, "Health and Social Relationships: The Good, the Bad, and the Complicated"
English | ISBN: 1433812223 | 2012 | 262 pages | PDF | 3 MB
We know that good, supportive relationships generally promote good health, and that bad, stressful relationships take a toll on our health. Yet most of our relationships-those with relatives, coworkers, caregivers, and romantic partners among them-are complicated, providing varying degrees of both support and stress.

The contributors to Health and Social Relationships not only examine the psychological and physiological linkages between relationships and health, but also offer clinical implications-such as how to foster good social relationships in our personal lives and in our communities at large.
Health and Social Relationships is an excellent compendium of research geared toward scholars and students in health psychology at the advanced undergraduate and graduate levels.

Higher Education in the Arab World Digital Transformation

Higher Education in the Arab World: Digital Transformation
by Adnan Badran, Elias Baydoun
English | 2024 | ISBN: 3031707788 | 344 Pages | True PDF | 13.3 MB

This book provides a comprehensive insight and roadmap to accelerate the implementation of digital transformation (DX) within Arab Universities along with an understanding of the challenges that accompany such change. It explores the elements of DX in universities and presents case studies and experiences from Arab Universities along with recommendations that facilitate the use of DX in higher education. Within the Arab region, the potential for digitization within the higher education landscape has significant outcomes and impacts on the growth, progression, and development of this sector. Digital transformation allows universities to respond to change while fostering a student-centered approach and remaining relevant to the growing demands of the twenty-first century. It also improves the universities activities such as teaching and learning, curricula development and implementation, processes, operations, support services, and infrastructure. This increases the university's competitive advantage locally and internationally. Embracing and adopting DX requires a paradigm shift in a university's strategy and culture.
The Arab world is home to more than 1,000 universities and in excess of 13 million students, and its higher education system offers a diverse range of undergraduate and postgraduate programs. To continue our series of books on higher education, we propose that the theme of this 8th book should be "Higher Education in the Arab World: Digital Transformation" in universities. In a complex regional and global climate, this book provokes a rich exploration of ideas around the challenges surrounding this sector and how to address them.

Holy Things The Genealogy of the Sacred in Thai Religion

Holy Things: The Genealogy of the Sacred in Thai Religion
by Nathan McGovern
English | 2024 | ASIN: B0DG96ZFCR | 289 Pages | PDF | 9.7 MB

Scholars of religion have mostly abandoned the concept of "syncretism" in which certain apparent deviations from "standard" practice are believed to be the result of a mixture of religions. This is particularly relevant to Thailand, in which ordinary religious practice was seen by an earlier generation of scholars as a mixture of three religions: local spirit religion, Hinduism, and Buddhism. In part, the perception that Thai Buddhism is syncretistic is due to a misunderstanding of traditional Buddhism, which has always accepted the existence of local spirits and gods. Nevertheless, there are aspects of Thai Buddhist practice that still stubbornly appear syncretistic. Moreover, Thai Buddhists themselves are increasingly adopting the language of syncretism, referring to traditional Thai religion as a mixture of local, Hindu, and Buddhist practices. This raises the question: If syncretism is so wrong, then why does it seem so right?
In Holy Things, Nathan McGovern answers this question through an in-depth study of the worship of spirits, gods, and Buddha images-all known as sing saksit, or "holy things"-in Thailand. He takes the reader on a historical and genealogical journey, showing how the category saksit began as a term to describe a power that is inherent to gods and spirits and accessible to Brahmans. Only later, when it was used in the nineteenth century to translate the Western concept of the "holy" did it become associated with Buddhist practice. McGovern shows that what appears to be syncretism is actually an illusion. The worship of "holy things" is not a mixture of different religions, but the category of "holy things" is a mixture of different ways of talking about religion.
