Emotional and Cognitive Overload The Dark Side of Information Technology

Emotional and Cognitive Overload The Dark Side of Information Technology

We live in a world of limitless information. With technology advancing at an astonishingly fast pace we are challenged to adapt to robotics and automated systems that threaten to replace us. Both at home and at work an endless range of devices and Information Technology (IT) systems place demands upon our attention that human beings have never experienced before but are our brains capable of processing it all? In this important new book an in-depth view is taken of IT's under-studied dark side and its dire consequences on individuals organizations and society. With theoretical underpinnings from the fields of cognitive psychology management and information systems the idea of brain overload is defined and explored from its impact on our decision-making and memory to how we may cope with the resultant 'technostress'. Discussing the negative consequences of technology on work substitution technologically induced work-family conflicts and organizational design as well as the initiatives set up to combat these the authors go on to propose measurement approaches for capturing the entangled aspects of IT-related overload. Concluding on an upbeat note the book's final chapter explores emerging technologies that can illuminate our world when mindfully managed. Designed to better equip humans for dealing with new technologies supported by case studies and also exploring the idea of 'IT addiction' the book concludes by asking how IT processes may aid rather than hinder our cognitive functioning. This is essential reading for anyone interested in how we function in the digital age. | Emotional and Cognitive Overload The Dark Side of Information Technology

The Cultural Side of Innovation Adding Values

The Cultural Side of Innovation Adding Values

In most discussions about the knowledge-based economy innovation is associated or even equated with technology while culture’s influence is ignored. Innovation is however embedded in cultural and social contexts and neglecting these crucial contexts may impede an innovation’s diffusion—and eventual success. This book places culture at the center of discussions on innovation beginning with a comprehensive introduction to innovation’s various forms including the history sociology and economics of innovation. Insights from marketing and psychology are integrated into a complexity theory framework which are then utilized to evaluate case studies of organizations experiencing repeated innovation successes. The sometimes fraught relationship of firms to creativity is discussed and a new model for to calculating the creativity of an economy is presented. | The Cultural Side of Innovation Adding Values

Lectures on Technique by Melanie Klein Edited with Critical Review by John Steiner

Lectures on Technique by Melanie Klein Edited with Critical Review by John Steiner

Lectures on Technique by Melanie Klein is based on a series of six lectures given by Melanie Klein to students at the British Psychoanalytical Society in 1936 and repeated several times in subsequent years. They were discovered in the Melanie Klein Archives housed in the Wellcome Medical Library and have been previously described by Elizabeth Spillius but never before published. In this book John Steiner explores what characterises Kleinian Technique how her technique changed over the years what she saw as the correct psychoanalytical attitude and how psychoanalytic technique has changed since Klein’s death. Melanie Klein who moved to England from Berlin in 1927 became one of the leading psychoanalysts following Freud and making an important contribution in the theory and practice of psychoanalysis. A pioneer in child analysis her work remains widely influential throughout the world. This book consists of the full text of the original six lectures accompanied by a critical analysis from John Steiner who is known internationally as a leading Kleinian analyst and writer. Steiner demonstrates the importance of the lectures in understanding Klein’s work and their continued relevance for contemporary psychoanalysis. In addition also published for the first time this book includes annotated transcripts of a preserved recording of a seminar Klein held in 1958 with young analysts of the British Psychoanalytical Society. In this seminar close to the end of her life many of the points made in the earlier lectures were elaborated upon and brought further up to date in light of developments in Klein’s thinking during the intervening years. Featuring rare previously unpublished material Lectures on Technique by Melanie Klein provides a new and significant contribution to understanding of the Kleinian paradigm. It will be essential reading for all psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic psychotherapists interested in and influenced by Klein’s work and legacy. | Lectures on Technique by Melanie Klein Edited with Critical Review by John Steiner

Security by Design Protecting Buildings and Public Places Against Crime and Terror

Security by Design Protecting Buildings and Public Places Against Crime and Terror

This is a book about the intersection of architecture and security about effective crime prevention and counterterror using the built form. While security professionals continue their strive towards alleviating our fear of crimes and whilst methodologies like CPTED (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design) have demonstrated the impact of design on prevention of crime over the last five decades too many built environment professionals are not aware of these strategies. This book starts with the premise that there is a huge role for the design fraternity (namely architects and planners) in achieving realistic efficient and permanent results and ultimately in creating a safer world. It seeks to present such strategies in a palatable way and encourage professionals to incorporate security thinking into their design process as second nature. Combining international case studies including One World Trade Centre New York; WHO Headquarters Extension Building Geneva; and the Akshardham Temple New Delhi along with numerous examples from the author’s professional career this book offers a systematic approach to integrating security into built environment design for easy adoption by architects planners security professionals and policymakers. | Security by Design Protecting Buildings and Public Places Against Crime and Terror

Primitive Elements of Grammatical Theory Papers by Jean-Roger Vergnaud and His Collaborators

Primitive Elements of Grammatical Theory Papers by Jean-Roger Vergnaud and His Collaborators

This book is a compilation of manuscripts and publications from 2001-2010 by Jean-Roger Vergnaud in collaboration with colleagues and students. This work is guided by the scientific belief that broader mathematical principles should guide linguistic inquiry as they guide classical biology and physics. From this Vergnaud’s hypotheses take the representation of the computational component of language to a more abstract level: one that derives constituent structure. He treats linguistic features as primitives and argues that a 2 x n matrix allows for multiple discrete dimensions to represent symmetries in linguistic features and to derive the fabric of syntax (and perhaps of phonology as well). Three primary research questions guide the core of these papers. (A) Methodologically how can broadly defined mathematical/cognitive principles guide linguistic investigation? (B) To what extent do general mathematical principles apply across linguistic domains? What principles guide computation at different levels of linguistic structure (phonology metrical structure syntax)? (C) How is the computational domain defined? In these manuscripts Vergnaud’s goal is not to radically depart from the Minimalist Program within generative grammar but rather to take the underlying goal of the generative program and bring it to an even more general scientific level. The themes of symmetry and periodicity in this book reflect his goal of scientific progress in linguistics and he has opened the doors to new exploration of old empirical problems in linguistics that may someday have deeper biological and physical explanations through the theory presented in this publication. | Primitive Elements of Grammatical Theory Papers by Jean-Roger Vergnaud and His Collaborators
