    Entrepreneurship and the Creation of Organization (eBook, PDF)
    When re-imagining, re-thinking, and re-writing entrepreneurship in this book, the authors have come to the conclusion that the concept that describes it most precisely is one that signifies a process that includes imagining, seductively describing, playfully organizing, political agility in navigating common sense, and business sensibility before possible commerce. This book develops a process theory of entrepreneurship by exploring how key concepts in such a theory - affect, desire, assemblage - allow us to think about entrepreneurship differently. This makes a significant contribution to bridging the fields of entrepreneurship and organization studies. Using literature and literary characters and their stories as main sources, entrepreneurship research is here revitalized, and the result provides students of entrepreneurship processes with new conceptual opportunities. The book is also a contribution to a multi-disciplinary research tradition in social sciences more broadly where humanities is a key "conversation partner". Undergraduates in entrepreneurship, PhD students, and entrepreneurship and organization scholars will find this to be a refreshing renewal of research into entrepreneurship and the creation of organization.

    Making Sense of AI
    Industrial robots, self-driving cars, customer-service chatbots and Google's algorithmic predictions have brought the topic of artificial intelligence into public debate. Why is AI the source of such intense controversy and what are its economic, political, social and cultural consequences?Tracing the changing fortunes of artificial intelligence, Elliott develops a systematic account of how automated intelligent machines impact different spheres and aspects of public and private life. Among the issues discussed are the automation of workforces, surveillance capitalism, warfare and lethal autonomous weapons, the spread of racist robots and the automation of social inequalities. Elliott also considers the decisive role of AI in confronting global risks and social futures, including global pandemics such as COVID-19, and how smart algorithms are impacting the search for energy security and combating climate change.Making Sense of AI provides a judiciously comprehensive account of artificial intelligence for those with little or no previous knowledge of the topic. It will be an invaluable book both for students in the social sciences and humanities and for general readers.

    Ersatz Capitalism and Industrial Policy in Southeast Asia (eBook, ePUB)
    This book applies and develops the concept of "ersatz capitalism" in the analysis of industrial policy blockades to economic development in Malaysia and Indonesia. Drawing on insights from international political economy, development studies, industrial and innovation policy, and new institutionalism to refer to a specific type of capitalism, the book analyzes different paths and institutions of economic development within the entire East Asian region. Comprehensive theoretical insights are complemented by empirical case studies that relate to country and sectoral studies - the automotive and ICT industries - in Malaysia and Indonesia. Applying contemporary research on international political economy to refer to a specific type of capitalism, the author examines how conflicts of interest between factions of state apparatus, associations, and companies contribute to the failure of developmental policies. The unique combination of theory formation and empirical analysis provides a novel approach to international comparative research on capitalism. The book will be of interest to researchers in the fields of international political economy, development studies, new institutionalism, East Asian and Southeast Asian studies, and industrial and innovation policy.

    A Postfoundationalist Comparative Christology (eBook, ePUB)
    Interreligious relationships are often hindered by epistemic disparity caused by the nexus between religions and state powers. To solve this problem, David Muthukumar Sivasubramanian develops a postfoundationalist epistemological framework to affirm the epistemic parity and plurality of religions while upholding their particularity and universality. Building on this postfoundationalist epistemology, a comparative Christology paradigm that uses insights from the extant comparative theology method is reformulated with a Christological focus. This model seeks to affirm the exclusive faith assertions of Christianity and the corresponding universal claims for Christ. It also sustains the particular religious identity of a comparative theologian over against any compulsion to assume hybrid identity in the interreligious cross-learning. This comparative Christology framework is exhibited through cross-learning with the Tamil Saiva Siddhanta tradition. This method is shown to affirm not only the particularity and universality of Christianity but also of the Tamil Saiva Siddhanta tradition by defining each religion's attempt at their revealed truth as a parallel quest for truth. Thus, it facilitates dialogue across religions by securing one's self-identity and the other's alterity.

    Geology applied to agronomy
    The farmer develops the most superficial part of the earth's crust, the soil, that is to say the portion of our globe which interests geology. However, the farmer should not lose interest in geology, because this science helps him in more than one circumstance. The arable land serves as a support for the plant; it is also in its bosom that the roots seek the mineral elements which serve to build the plant cell. Each harvest therefore removes a certain amount of mineral elements from the soil, which the farmer must return to it in various ways, either in the form of manure or in the form of mineral fertilizers or amendments. These mineral elements can be found either in the subsoil at depth (marl, carbonate of lime), or in nearby or distant quarries (gypsum stone, carbonate of lime, lime phosphate, sodium nitrate, potash and magnesia salts). The basis of any rational cultivation is nowadays the preliminary study of the physico-chemical and biological properties of the soil. This study of the soil is one of the most important approaches applied to agronomy.

    Life project in the elderly
    Hopelessness and depression are elements that indicate that the elderly see this stage as the end even when their physical conditions allow them to develop or consolidate activities that keep them socially inserted. In order to propose a psychoeducational program for the development of life projects in older adults, a descriptive study with a mixed approach was carried out, taking 180 older adults as a sample, after identifying individual, family and social needs that affect the development of life projects. The psychoeducational program was evaluated as relevant, feasible and coherent by experts. In a psychoeducational program for the development of life projects in the elderly, in addition to the necessary information on the subject for the elaboration of these, it is of vital importance to include activities to achieve recognition and acceptance of the limitations of age and the environment where the older adult develops, the reflective experiential techniques are essential to achieve motivation and encourage older adults for the preparation and use of life projects as a quality alternative.

    Effective Teaching Strategies for Dyscalculia and Learning Difficulties in Mathematics (eBook, PDF)
    Effective Teaching Strategies for Dyscalculia and Learning Difficulties in Mathematics provides an essential bridge between scientific research and practical interventions with children. It unpacks what we know about the possible cognitive causation of mathematical difficulties in order to improve teaching and therefore learning. Each chapter considers a specific domain of children's numerical development: counting and the understanding of numbers, understanding of the base-10 system, arithmetic, word problem solving, and understanding rational numbers. The accessible guidance includes a literature review on each topic, surveying how each process develops in children, the difficulties encountered at that level by some pupils, and the intervention studies that have been published. It guides the reader step-by-step through practical guidelines of how to assess these processes and how to build an intervention to help children master them. Illustrated throughout with examples of materials used in the effective interventions described, this essential guide offers deep understanding and effective strategies for developmental and educational psychologists, special educational needs and/or disabilities coordinators, and teachers working with children experiencing mathematical difficulties.
