In this counterintuitive study of digital democracy, Jen Schradie shows how the web has become another weapon in the arsenal of the powerful, and a potent weapon for conservative activists. Rather than leveling the playing field, the internet has tilted it in favor of the Right, where only the most sophisticated and well-funded players can compete.
This book seeks to trouble taken-for-granted assumptions of anthropocentrism and humanism in social work - those which perpetuate human privilege and human exceptionalism. The edited collection provides a different imaginary for social work by introducing ways of thinking otherwise that challenge human exceptionalism. Social work is at heart a liberal humanist project informed by a strong human rights framework. This edited collection draws on the literature on affect, feminist new materialism and critical posthumanism to critique the liberal framework, which includes human rights. Disrupting the anthropocentrism in social work which positions humans as an elite species at the centre of world history, this book develops an ethical sensibility that values entanglements of humans, non-human life and the natural environment. The book provides new insights into environmental destruction, human-animal relations, gender inequality and male dominance, as well as ind
This volume tells the story of the legacy and impact of the great German polymath Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (1646-1716). Leibniz made significant contributions to many areas, including philosophy, mathematics, political and social theory, theology, and various sciences. The essays in this volume explores the effects of Leibniz¿s profound insights on subsequent generations of thinkers by tracing the ways in which his ideas have been defended and developed in the three centuries since his death. Each of the 11 essays is concerned with Leibniz¿s legacy and impact in a particular area, and between them they show not just the depth of Leibniz¿s talents but also the extent to which he shaped the various domains to which he contributed, and in some cases continues to shape them today. With essays written by experts such as Nicholas Jolley, Pauline Phemister, and Philip Beeley, this volume is essential reading not just for students of Leibniz but also for those who wish to understand the ga
UN peace operations are increasingly asked to pursue stabilization mandates with lofty expectations of being able to stabilize conflict zones, achieve national reconciliation, and rebuild state legitimacy. This book investigates the relationship between UN stabilization mandates and the concept of ¿human security¿. The book is divided into three parts. Part I outlines the emergence of stabilization and other trends in peacekeeping practice and outlines an analytical framework of human security. Part II applies the analytical framework to case studies of MINUSMA, MINUSCA, and UNMISS examining issues, such as human rights, empowerment, protection, and vulnerability. In Part III the book draws out several concerns that arise from stabilization mandates, including the militarisation of UN peace operations and the consequences under international humanitarian law, the risks of close cooperation with the host state and engagement in counter-terror activities, and the potential clash
Blir vi avhengige og deprimerte av sosiale medier? Er de en trussel mot demokratiet? Hvilken makt har selskapene bak, og bør vi frykte dem? I denne boka får du svarene. Forrige utgave kom i 2015. Før Trump og Brexit. Før trollfabrikker, QAnon og TikTok. Før Covid-19 ga teknologiselskapene enda mer makt. Sosiale medier er for viktig til å overlates til synsing. Gjennom ti år har Ida Aalen og Magnus Hoem Iversen fulgt forskningen på feltet. Nå har de igjen saumfart det som finnes av studier, for å gi deg oppdaterte og solide svar på de viktigste spørsmålene om sosiale medier. Forordet er skrevet av Grete Brochmann. Ida Aalen (f. 1985) er utdannet medieviter fra NTNU. Hun har utmerket seg som samfunnsdebattant og skribent i blant annet Dagens Næringsliv og Morgenbladet.

This innovative volume showcases the possibilities of autoethnography as a means of exploring the complexities of transnational identity construction for learners, teachers, and practitioners in English language teaching (ELT). //The book unpacks the dynamics of today¿s landscape of language education which sees practitioners and students with nuanced personal and professional histories inhabit liminal spaces as they traverse national, cultural, linguistic, ideological, and political borders, thereby impacting their identity construction and engagement with pedagogies and practices across different educational domains. The volume draws on solo and collaborative autoethnographies of transnational language practitioners to question such well-established ELT binaries such as ¿center¿/¿periphery¿ and ¿native¿/non-native¿ and issues of identity-related concepts such as ideologies, discourses, agency, and self-reflexibility. In so doing, the book also underscores the unique affordances of au
I denne boka argumenterer Lisbet Skregelid for hvorfor det å engasjere seg i kunst generelt, og samtidskunst spesielt, kan ha en relevans i våre liv. Gjennom boka beskrives et forskningsprosjekt hvor ungdomsskoleelever gjennom tre år besøkte samtidskunstutstillinger som del av undervisningen på skolen. Gjennom eksperimenterende kunstdidaktisk praksis ble elevene utfordret på forestillinger om hva kunst kan være, og hva som gjør kunsten interessant. I boka synliggjøres hvordan uenighet og motstand, det forfatteren omtaler som «dissens» - som møter med kunst kan invitere til - kan være en ressurs som kan føre til erkjennelser og nye blikk på en selv og omverdenen. I boka belyses også hvordan møter med kunst egner seg som et demokratisk frirom for meningsytring, meningsforskjeller og debatt. I en tid hvor utdanningspolitikken orienteres noe ensidig mot det som kan måles og telles, relanserer Skregelid den norske pedagogen og psykologen Helga Engs parole fra 1918 om en estetisk dreining og kunst som overordnet prinsipp i skolen. Tribuner for dissens retter seg mot et bredt fagfelt og er interessant for alle som er opptatt av kunstens og estetikkens plass i skole og samfunn.
Experimental Design and Statistical Analysis for Pharmacology and the Biomedical Sciences A practical guide to the use of basic principles of experimental design and statistical analysis in pharmacology Experimental Design and Statistical Analysis for Pharmacology and the Biomedical Sciences provides clear instructions on applying statistical analysis techniques to pharmacological data.

By first introducing basic principles of experimental design and statistical analysis, the author then guides readers throug
Forebyggende helsearbeid har som formål å redusere sykdomsbelastningen i samfunnet. Faget anvender kunnskap om årsaksfaktorer i arbeidet med å forebygge sykdom. Kunnskapen om årsaksfaktorer hentes fra epidemiologisk forskning, og faget er kanskje epidemiologiens viktigste eksistensberettigelse. Boken gir en systematisk oversikt over fagets omfattende metodegrunnlag. Forebyggende helsearbeid forholder seg først og fremst til befolkningsgrupper og er dermed, i motsetning til klinisk medisin, et utpreget kvantitativt medisinsk fag. På den annen side er det klart at alle medisinske spesialiteter også (og i stadig økende grad) har et ansvar for en konkret befolkningsgruppe. Et overordnet mål med boken er derfor å understreke at enhver lege uansett spesialitet, har et ansvar for forebyggende helsearbeid. Boken er først og fremst skrevet for (fremtidige) leger, men vil også kunne leses av andre med interesse for fagfeltet og av dem med ansvar for helsevesenet uansett nivå.

This book analyses the issue of child soldiers in order to understand how armed groups engage with international organizations to gain international legitimacy. The work examines why some armed groups ¿follow the rules¿ of international humanitarian law and others do not. It argues that armed groups in conflicts around the world engage with international organizations in order to gain international legitimacy and to show they are following the laws of war. By examining the issue of child soldiers in contemporary armed conflict, the volume establishes a typology of which groups will engage with international actors and follow the laws of war ¿ and which will not. The main aim of the book is to understand the rationality of even the most violent of actors, and to understand when and how armed groups can be encouraged to follow the laws of war. The work draws from extensive primary research conducted among armed groups in Syria and Myanmar, including al-Qaeda, the Islamic State,

The objective of this monograph is to understand the direction of this change. With case studies of food firms and agriculture supply chains it sets out to conceptualize food organizing and organizations as a fruitful object of inquiry, both at the intra and interorganizational levels. It aims to understand new business models, strategies, and organizational forms. Contributions in this stream of research have the potential to yield important and relevant insights for both scholars and societies.
Educational Leadership, Management, and Administration through Actor-Network Theory presents how actor-network theory (ANT) and the related vocabularies have much to offer to a critical re-imagination of the dynamics of management in education and educational leadership. It extends the growing contemporary perspective of ANT into the study of educational administration and management. This book draws on case studies focusing on new configurations of educational management and leadership. It presents new developments of ANT ("After ANT" and "Near ANT") and clarifies how these "sensibilities" can contribute to thinking critically and intervening in the current dynamics of education. The book proposes that ANT can offer an ecological understanding of educational leadership which is helpful in abandoning the narrow humanistic world of managerialism, considering a post-anthropocentric scenario where it is necessary to compose together new "liveable" assemblages of humans a

Med utgangspunkt i intervjuer og samtaler med lærere tar forfatterne av Livet som lærer for seg noen sentrale aspekter ved læreryrket som kan gjøre det lettere å legge til rette for læring og utvikling for alle elever. Eksempler er vurdering, relasjonsbygging, læringsledelse, tilpasset opplæring, kommunikasjon, refleksjonsarbeid, motivasjon og mangfoldskompetanse. I tillegg gir boka et godt innblikk i livet som lærer og rollemodell utenfor klasserommet, noe som også er relevant for utviklingen av en profesjonell lærerrolle. Forfatterne har lang erfaring både som lærere og som lærerutdannere.(Sitater fra lærere)«Det er utrolig givende å kunne bety noe for andre mennesker i en viktig alder.»«Man skal være bevisst lærerrollen, også når man ikke er på jobb.»«Som fersk lærer skulle jeg ønske jeg visste mer om hvordan skolen fungerte, ikke bare fag.»
En viktig metafor for dagens lærere er informasjonsteknologien som en slags second brain. Denne praktiske boka byr på tips, ideer og inspirasjon til bruk av IKT. Den handler om digital kompetanse i praksis. Forfatteren peker på hvordan læreren, uavhengig av ressurser og tilgang til teknologi i klasserommet, organiserer sin egen læring, hvordan han/hun finner, organiserer, anvender og gjenbruker digitale ressurser. Eksempler på noen av emnene som tas opp er: Hvordan kan digitale tankekart brukes til brainstorming, til repetisjon og som notatverktøy? Hvordan kan Etherpad brukes til samskriving og samarbeid? Når bør man bruke Google dokumenter og ikke Word? Hva vil digital arbeidsflyt si? Hvordan kan man bruke presentasjonsverktøy som supplerer, forsterker og ikke erstatter den gode fortelleren? Hvorfor kan iPad og tilsvarende brett langt på vei erstatte en pc? Hvordan kan du og elevene dine maksimere språklæringen ved hjelp av digitale ressurser og verktøy? Hva vil flipped teaching og hybridundervisning si? Hvordan møte utfordringene det innebærer å undervise i teknologitunge omgivelser der elevene har Internett (inkludert Tetris, Facebook og World of Warcraft) på pulten eller i lomma? Boka er praktisk rettet, skrevet av en som selv til daglig står i klasserommet for lærere og for dem som skal bli det. Boken kan anbefales til lærere og lærerstudenter uavhengig av fagbakgrunn som vil ha en lett forståelig oversikt over og enkel framstilling av forskjellige digitale verktøy som kan tas i bruk i dagens teknologirike skole.

Hva menes med teknisk gjeld, Gutenberg-øyeblikk og digitale tvillinger? Hva vet styret om hvor godt virksomhetens data er benyttet - enn si beskyttet? Hvem deler vi dataene med? Hva er de verd? Hvordan ligger vi an i digitaliseringsprosessen? Hva er forskjellen mellom en digital moteløve og en digital mester? Dette er noen av mer enn 100 styrespørsmål og -tema du kan lære mer om i denne boken. Erfarne styremedlemmer og fagfolk deler sine tanker og ideer om hva som kreves av medlemmer i det forfatterne kaller den digitale styreverden. Denne boken er en inspirasjonskilde til å stille gode spørsmål i styrerommet. Styrer er i bunn og grunn lærende organisasjoner, men samtidig er styrearbeidet et praksisfelt. Forfatterne byr både på norske og internasjonale erfaringer og praksiser som alle styremedlemmer kan lære noe av. Digitalt modne styrer lærer av egne og andres erfaringer, men de prøver sjelden å kopiere andres suksess. De beste styrene identifiserer virksomhetens kjernekompetanse, og sørger for å beskytte og videreutvikle intellektuell kapital i form av lisenser, patenter, varemerker, omdømme, prosesser og systemer. Digitalt oppegående styremedlemmer stiller utfordrende spørsmål til hverandre og til ledelsen. Gjennom utfordring og undring kan styrene komme på offensiven i en spennende og krevende digital virkelighet. Tarjei Alvær Heggernes er førstelektor ved Handelshøyskolen BI.

A Psychoanalytic Exploration of the Body in Today''s World: On the Body examines the importance of the body in everyday psychoanalytic practice and beyond. Written by world leading clinicians and international scholars, this important book aims to relocate the psychoanalytic body in the modern, more challenging world. Bringing together perspectives from across the range of psychoanalytic schools of thought, it covers essential analytic topics such as family and parenting, sex and gender, illness and psychosomatics, and concepts of the body in infancy. Though in Freud¿s writing the intertwining of body and psyche is fundamental, psychoanalytic thought has sometimes downplayed or ignored this idea. This book returns the body to its rightful place in psychoanalysis, and brings the body into the contemporary world of technology and change, offering fresh insight into the sick body, the sexual body, the speaking body, the body of the changing family in which the traditiona

This book systematically analyzes how and why China has expectedly lost and then surprisingly gained ground in the quest to solve the complicated environmental problem of air pollution over the past two decades. Yuan Xu shines a light on how China¿s sulfur dioxide emissions rose quickly in tandem with rapid economic growth but then dropped to a level not seen for at least four decades. Despite this favorable mitigation outcome, Xu details how this stemmed from a litany of policy stumbles within the Chinese context of no democracy and a lack of sound rule of law. Throughout this book, the author examines China¿s environmental governance and strategy and how they shape environmental policy. The chapters weave together a goal-centered governance model that China has adopted of centralized goal setting, decentralized goal attainment, decentralized policy making and implementation. Xu concludes that this model provides compelling evidence that China¿s worst environmental years res
