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

Database Modeling Step by Step

Database Modeling Step by Step

With the aim of simplifying relational database modeling Database Modeling Step-by-Step presents the standard approach to database normalization and then adds its own approach which is a more simplistic intuitive way to building relational database models. Going from basics to contemporary topics the book opens with relational data modeling and ends with BigData database modeling following a road map of the evolution in relational modeling and including brief introductions to data warehousing and BigData modeling. A break-down of the elements of a model explains what makes up a relational data model. This is followed by a comparison between standard normalization and a more simplistic intuitive approach to data modeling that a beginner can follow and understand. A brief chapter explains how to use the database programming language SQL (Structured Query Language) which reads from and writes to a relational database. SQL is fundamental to data modeling because it helps in understanding how the model is used. In addition to the relational model the last three chapters cover important modern world topics including denormalization that leads into data warehouses and BigData database modeling. The book explains how there is not much to logical data modeling in BigData databases because as they are often schema-less which means that BigData databases do not have schemas embedded into the database itself they have no metadata and thus not much of a logical data model. Online bonus chapters include a case study that covers relational data modeling and are available at the author’s web site: www. oracletroubleshooter. com/datamodeling. html | Database Modeling Step by Step

Fluoride Removal from Groundwater by Adsorption Technology

Fluoride Removal from Groundwater by Adsorption Technology

In the Eastern corridor of Northern region of Ghana presence of high fluoride concentration in the groundwater has made many drilled boreholes unusable for drinking. Little is however known about the factors contributing to the occurrence of high fluoride in this part of Ghana and it’s spatial distribution. Treatment of the fluoride-contaminated groundwater by adsorption is also hampered by the lack of suitable adsorbents that are locally available. Based on principal component analysis and saturation indices calculations this thesis highlights that the predominant mechanisms controlling the fluoride enrichment probably include calcite precipitation and Na/Ca exchange processes both of which deplete Ca from the groundwater and promote the dissolution of fluorite. The mechanisms also include F-/OH- anion exchange processes as well as evapotranspiration processes which concentrate the fluoride ions hence increasing its concentration in the groundwater. Spatial mapping showed that the high fluoride groundwaters occur predominantly in the Saboba Cheriponi and Yendi districts. The thesis further highlights that modifying the surface of indigenous materials by an aluminium coating process is a very promising approach to develop a suitable fluoride adsorbent. Aluminum oxide coated media reduced fluoride in water from 5. 0 ± 0. 2 mg/L to ≤ 1. 5 mg/L (which is the WHO health based guideline for fluoride) in both batch and continuous flow column experiments in the laboratory. Kinetic and isotherm studies thermodynamic calculations as well as analytical results from Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy suggest the mechanism of fluoride adsorption onto aluminium oxide coated media involved both physisorption and chemisorption processes. Field testing in a fluoritic community in Northern Ghana showed that the adsorbent is also capable of treating fluoride-contaminated groundwater in field conditions suggesting it is a promising defluoridation adsorbent. The adsorbent also showed good regenerability potential that would allow re-use which could make it practically and economically viable. Additional research is however required to further increase the fluoride adsorption capacity of developed adsorbent. | Fluoride Removal from Groundwater by Adsorption Technology

Exploratory Multivariate Analysis by Example Using R

Exploratory Multivariate Analysis by Example Using R

Full of real-world case studies and practical advice Exploratory Multivariate Analysis by Example Using R Second Edition focuses on four fundamental methods of multivariate exploratory data analysis that are most suitable for applications. It covers principal component analysis (PCA) when variables are quantitative correspondence analysis (CA) and multiple correspondence analysis (MCA) when variables are categorical and hierarchical cluster analysis. The authors take a geometric point of view that provides a unified vision for exploring multivariate data tables. Within this framework they present the principles indicators and ways of representing and visualising objects that are common to the exploratory methods. The authors show how to use categorical variables in a PCA context in which variables are quantitative how to handle more than two categorical variables in a CA context in which there are originally two variables and how to add quantitative variables in an MCA context in which variables are categorical. They also illustrate the methods using examples from various fields with related R code accessible in the FactoMineR package developed by the authors.
