Identical Twins The Social Construction and Performance of Identity in Culture and Society

Identical Twins The Social Construction and Performance of Identity in Culture and Society

In Identical Twins: The Social Construction and Performance of Identity in Culture and Society Ncube conceptualises twin identity as a multi-layered dynamic that changes through performance and explores twin identity through a social constructionist approach. Until now mainstream twin studies have mostly sought to explain social phenomena about twins from ‘inside’ the person providing their explanations in terms of internal entities such as personality structures with an obvious underlying essentialist assumption. By examining the theories of Michel Foucault and Judith Butler Ncube shows that the ‘identity’ of twins is managed in both an academic and cultural context and in relation to specific audiences. Relocating the explanations that we gather in social research including in qualitative research in psychology the book focuses its enquiry on the social practices and interactions that people engage in with each other not delving ‘inside’ the person. Using real-world twin accounts the book maps out the social construction of twin identity and allows for the twins’ own voices to be examined in relation to twin experiences. Also addressing aspects of being misunderstood as well as the idea of misunderstanding oneself this is fascinating reading for students and researchers in critical and cultural psychology and anyone interested in twin studies. | Identical Twins The Social Construction and Performance of Identity in Culture and Society

Cognitive Digital Twins for Smart Lifecycle Management of Built Environment and Infrastructure Challenges Opportunities and Practices

Cognitive Digital Twins for Smart Lifecycle Management of Built Environment and Infrastructure Challenges Opportunities and Practices

This book provides knowledge into Cognitive Digital Twins for smart lifecycle management of built environment and infrastructure focusing on challenges and opportunities. It focuses on the challenges and opportunities of data-driven cognitive systems by integrating the heterogeneous data from multiple resources that can easily be used in a machine learning model and adjust the algorithms. It comprises Digital Twins incorporating cognitive features that will enable sensing complex and unpredicted behavior and reason about dynamic strategies for process optimization to support decision-making in lifecycle management of the built environment and infrastructure. The book introduces the Knowledge Graph (KG)-centric framework for Cognitive Digital Twins involving process modeling and simulation ontology-based Knowledge Graph analytics for process optimizations and interfaces for data operability. It offers contributions of Cognitive Digital Twins for the integration of IoT Big data AI smart sensors machine learning and communication technologies all connected to a novel paradigm of self-learning hybrid models with proactive cognitive capabilities. The book presents the topologies of models described for autonomous real time interpretation and decision-making support of complex system development based on Cognitive Digital Twins with applications in critical domains such as maintenance of complex engineering assets in built environment and infrastructure. It offers the essential material to enlighten pertinent research communities of the state-of-the-art research and the latest development in the area of Cognitive Digital Twins as well as a valuable reference for planners designers developers and ICT experts who are working towards the development and implementation of autonomous Cognitive IoT based on big data analytics and context–aware computing. | Cognitive Digital Twins for Smart Lifecycle Management of Built Environment and Infrastructure Challenges Opportunities and Practices
