Download or read book El arte de la estratagema written by Giorgio Nardone and published by Herder Editorial. This book was released on 2013-09-25 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En 1930, a orillas del Danubio ocurrió un hecho del que los diarios de la época dieron destacada información. Un joven con intenciones suicidas se arrojó desde un puente; a los gritos de los testigos acudió un gendarme, quien, en vez de lanzarse al agua, apuntó con su fusil al joven y gritó: "¡Sal de ahí o disparo!" El hombre obedeció y salió del agua. El gendarme acababa de realizar espontáneamente un acto paradójico que funcionó a la perfección como estratagema de "apagar el fuego añadiendo leña". La historia de la humanidad está llena de estas estratagemas capaces de invertir rápidamente el desenlace de una situación: basta pensar en Ulises y su caballo de Troya, que representa la esencia heroica de la inteligencia estratégica. Este libro pretende explicar el arte de resolver problemas complicados mediante soluciones aparentemente simples. Este arte no contempla recurrir a verdades tranquilizadoras, esto es, conocimientos definitivos acerca de la realidad que nos rodea, sino que considera más bien el uso de estratagemas que violan el sentido común y la lógica racional.
Download or read book Democracy as Problem Solving written by Xavier De Souza Briggs and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2008-07-18 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Case studies from around the world and theoretical discussion show how the capacity to act collectively on local problems can be developed, strengthening democracy while changing social and economic outcomes. Complexity, division, mistrust, and “process paralysis” can thwart leaders and others when they tackle local challenges. In Democracy as Problem Solving, Xavier de Souza Briggs shows how civic capacity—the capacity to create and sustain smart collective action—can be developed and used. In an era of sharp debate over the conditions under which democracy can develop while broadening participation and building community, Briggs argues that understanding and building civic capacity is crucial for strengthening governance and changing the state of the world in the process. More than managing a contest among interest groups or spurring deliberation to reframe issues, democracy can be what the public most desires: a recipe for significant progress on important problems. Briggs examines efforts in six cities, in the United States, Brazil, India, and South Africa, that face the millennial challenges of rapid urban growth, economic restructuring, and investing in the next generation. These challenges demand the engagement of government, business, and nongovernmental sectors. And the keys to progress include the ability to combine learning and bargaining continuously, forge multiple forms of accountability, and find ways to leverage the capacity of the grassroots and what Briggs terms the “grasstops,” regardless of who initiates change or who participates over time. Civic capacity, Briggs shows, can—and must—be developed even in places that lack traditions of cooperative civic action.

Download or read book The origins of design written by Fábio da Silva Portella and published by Amplitude Books. This book was released on 2022-09-01 with total page 657 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bilingual book: ANGLISC and PORTUGUESE The word SIGNUM does not provide a complete and broad understanding of full range of activities that action 'to draw' can provide. The origin of English word design is found in an ancient Latin word, prior to formulation of Latin alphabet, (and is not limited to word SIGNUM... there's more!). SIGNUM is derived vocable, and the book reveals the matrix! Despite being in ancient Latin, the book is easy to understand and pleasant to read. Surprising! And it will make the reader think about the content of dictionaries and encyclopedias, and also meditate on the way a word is written and defined. The book has more than 600 pages, and includes chapters such as: The importance of design in contemporary societies; Design vs project; Amplitudes of design; Objects of scientific study of science Drawing; The fame of word design; Anglisc: The word design, and English language; Research methodology: examination of the form of word design; Ancient custom of applying words from nature to represent human thoughts; Scientific discovery, in Human Sciences. The novelty in the book is to affirm the connection linking words DESIGN and word that gives rise to it, coming from ancient Latin. The research is about design. Approaching the formation of words, design is approached, because writing is drawing. WELCOME TO READING THE MOST UPDATED BOOK ON DESIGN IN THE WORLD!!

Book excerpt: Humanity will have to cope with many problems in the coming decades: for instance, the world population is likely grow to to 8,8 billion people by 2035. Also, changing climate conditions are negatively affecting the livelihoods of millions of people. In particular, environmental disasters are causing substantial damages to properties. From a social perspective, the inequalities between rich and poor nations are becoming even deeper, and in many countries, conflicts between national and international interest groups are intensifying.The above state of affairs suggest that a broader understanding of the trends which may lead to a more sustainable world is needed, especially those which may pave the way for future developments. In other words, we need to pave the way for sustainable futures.Consistent with this reality, the proposed Encyclopedia of Sustainability Futures aims to identify, document and disseminate ideas, experiences and visions from scientists, member of nongovernmental organisations, decision-makers industry representatives and citizens, on themes and issues which will be important in pursuing sustainable future scenarios. In particular, the publication will focus on scientific aspects, as well as on social and economic ones, also considering matters related to financing and infra-structures, which are important in pursuing a sustainable future.The Encyclopedia of Sustainability Futures will involve the contributing authors in line with theprinciple of co-generation, from across a wide range of disciplines, e.g. education and social sciences, natural sciences, engineering, the arts, languages etc, with papers adopting a long-term sustainability perspective, with a time horizon until 2050. The focus will be on themes which are felt as important in the future, and the chapters are expected to interest and motivate a world audience.This book is part of the "100 papers to accelerate the implementation of the UN Sustainable Development Goals initiative"!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cities are reinventing themselves to adapt and respond to their evolving contexts. One instrument that local government is leveraging is innovation. To understand how cities approach public sector innovation, the OECD and Bloomberg Philanthropies carried out a survey on innovation capacity across 89 cities in OECD countries and non-OECD economies. The focus of the survey was to unpack the capacity to innovate in the local public sector and explore the resources – human, financial, and institutional – and how they can work to boost innovation in a city.
Download or read book Strategic Thinking in Complex Problem Solving written by Arnaud Chevallier and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-07-06 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether you are a student or a working professional, you can benefit from being better at solving the complex problems that come up in your life. Strategic Thinking in Complex Problem Solving provides a general framework and the necessary tools to help you do so. Based on his groundbreaking course at Rice University, engineer and former strategy consultant Arnaud Chevallier provides practical ways to develop problem solving skills, such as investigating complex questions with issue maps, using logic to promote creativity, leveraging analogical thinking to approach unfamiliar problems, and managing diverse groups to foster innovation. This book breaks down the resolution process into four steps: 1) frame the problem (identifying what needs to be done), 2) diagnose it (identifying why there is a problem, or why it hasn't been solved yet), 3) identify and select potential solutions (identifying how to solve the problem), and 4) implement and monitor the solution (resolving the problem, the 'do'). For each of these four steps - the what, why, how, and do - this book explains techniques that promotes success and demonstrates how to apply them on a case study and in additional examples. The featured case study guides you through the resolution process, illustrates how these concepts apply, and creates a concrete image to facilitate recollection. Strategic Thinking in Complex Problem Solving is a tool kit that integrates knowledge based on both theoretical and empirical evidence from many disciplines, and explains it in accessible terms. As the book guides you through the various stages of solving complex problems, it also provides useful templates so that you can easily apply these approaches to your own personal projects. With this book, you don't just learn about problem solving, but how to actually do it.
Download or read book PAD 13 written by Marina Parente and published by LetteraVentidue Edizioni. This book was released on 2017-01-10 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The issue, edited by Marina Parente and Carla Sedini, founder of D4T - Design for Territories Research Network of Politecnico di Milano, aims to contribute to this new field of study helping readers understand the design-led phenomenon, which involves the tangible resources of a territory (like monumental and landscape heritage) as well as the intangible ones (like cultural identity and people values). The main topic of this issue is: How could the design develop the local dimension enhancing and revitalizing the territory at the same time? Furthermore, with issue #13 we are opening a series with artists’ images that will match the articles with a visual research connected to the proposed subject. Photographer Carla Sedini, co-editor with Marina Parente of this issue, gave us permission to publish a selection of images about “design that is not there”, “design that may be” and “tacit design” within urban territories around the world. We hope that many creatives will interpret the “Suggestions for Design” launched here. The numerous contributors to this issue are: Miriam Bicocca; Letizia Bollini; Marco Borsotti & Sonia Pistidda; Raffaella Fagnoni & Silvia Pericu; Davide Fassi, Laura Galluzzo & Anna Linda De Rosa; Rosanna Gaddi; Helena Gentili & Daria Casciani; José Luis González Cabrero, Ana Margarita Avila Ochoa, Ana Calvera, Debora Giorgi, Yosser Halloul, Insaf Khaled & Rosa Povedano; Maria Antonietta Sbordone; Reham Mohsen & Andreas Sicklinger; Carla Sedini & Luca Fois.
Download or read book Handbook of Research on Assertiveness Clarity and Positivity in Health Literacy written by Vaz de Almeida, Cristina and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2021-09-17 with total page 423 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Health literacy in practice requires the development of techniques that ensure that the patient can better access information, understand its content, know how to use this information, and make better health decisions. If the patient makes better health decisions, there are immediate reflexes in health outcomes. The aim is to develop an approach based on the commitment and creation of an atmosphere of trust that reduces uncertainty, anxiety, and embarrassment based on a process of assertive, clear, and positive communication (ACP model). The Handbook of Research on Assertiveness, Clarity, and Positivity in Health Literacy brings the consolidation of knowledge, strategies, and techniques to improve health literacy. This book discusses the importance of making sound health decisions: decisions that can save lives, prevent premature deaths, avoid hospitalizations and abusive resources to medical emergencies, and improve overall health outcomes for the individual, family, community, and society. Covering topics such as dietary guidance, health behavior change models, and medication reconciliation, this resource has theoretical and practical aspects essential to health information libraries, hospitals, clinics, health centers, health schools, patient associations, health professionals, medical students, researchers, professors, and academicians.

Download or read book Essentials of Counterterrorism written by James J. F. Forest and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2015-10-21 with total page 477 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive overview of counterterrorism that examines key aspects of the fight against terrorism, including intelligence, law enforcement, the military, financial and criminal activity, ethics, and social media. Recent terrorist actions in the United States and abroad make it clear that the subject of counterterrorism is as vital and as timely as ever. Edited by a leading authority on terrorism and security studies, this compendium offers a wide-ranging look at the most vital aspects of counterterrorism, from diplomacy and military action to the investigation and interdiction of terrorist finances. Following an introduction, chapters offer insightful discussions of strategy, policy, tactical, and operational dimensions of counterterrorism. An interdisciplinary team of expert contributors examine a wide range of topics, including "lone wolf" and homegrown terrorists, intelligence cooperation, social media, community policing, terrorism finance, and the shadow economy. Case studies from Europe, Latin America, South Asia, the Middle East, and the United States provide clear, practical examples of effective—and sometimes not so effective—approaches to combating terrorism. The volume will serve as a central textbook for professional development courses, workshops, and academic degree programs on terrorism, counterterrorism, and security studies.
