Critical Models by Theodor W. Adorno Pdf

Critical Models combines into a single volume two of Adorno's most important postwar works — Interventions: Nine Critical Models (1963) and Catchwords: Critical Models II (1969). Written after his return to Germany in 1949, the articles, essays, and radio talks included in this volume speak to the pressing political, cultural, and philosophical concerns of the postwar era. The pieces in Critical Models reflect the intellectually provocative as well as the practical Adorno as he addresses such issues as the dangers of ideological conformity, the fragility of democracy, educational reform, the influence of television and radio, and the aftermath of fascism. This new edition includes an introduction by Lydia Goehr, a renowned scholar in philosophy, aesthetic theory, and musicology. Goehr illuminates Adorno's ideas as well as the intellectual, historical, and critical contexts that shaped his postwar thinking.

Disorder and Critical Phenomena Through Basic Probability Models by Giambattista Giacomin Pdf

Understanding the effect of disorder on critical phenomena is a central issue in statistical mechanics. In probabilistic terms: what happens if we perturb a system exhibiting a phase transition by introducing a random environment? The physics community has approached this very broad question by aiming at general criteria that tell whether or not the addition of disorder changes the critical properties of a model: some of the predictions are truly striking and mathematically challenging. We approach this domain of ideas by focusing on a specific class of models, the "pinning models," for which a series of recent mathematical works has essentially put all the main predictions of the physics community on firm footing; in some cases, mathematicians have even gone beyond, settling a number of controversial issues. But the purpose of these notes, beyond treating the pinning models in full detail, is also to convey the gist, or at least the flavor, of the "overall picture," which is, in many respects, unfamiliar territory for mathematicians.

Critical Phenomena in Loop Models by Adam Nahum Pdf

When close to a continuous phase transition, many physical systems can usefully be mapped to ensembles of fluctuating loops, which might represent for example polymer rings, or line defects in a lattice magnet, or worldlines of quantum particles. 'Loop models' provide a unifying geometric language for problems of this kind. This thesis aims to extend this language in two directions. The first part of the thesis tackles ensembles of loops in three dimensions, and relates them to the statistical properties of line defects in disordered media and to critical phenomena in two-dimensional quantum magnets. The second part concerns two-dimensional loop models that lie outside the standard paradigms: new types of critical point are found, and new results given for the universal properties of polymer collapse transitions in two dimensions. All of these problems are shown to be related to sigma models on complex or real projective space, CP^{n−1} or RP^{n−1} -- in some cases in a 'replica' limit -- and this thesis is also an in-depth investigation of critical behaviour in these field theories.

Information Theory Models of Instabilities in Critical Systems by Rodrick Wallace Pdf

The book is a unique exploration of a spectrum of unexpected analogs to psychopathologies likely to afflict real-time critical systems, written by a specialist in the epidemiology of mental disorders. The purpose of this book is to develop a set of information-theoretic statistical tools for analyzing the instabilities of real-time cognitive systems at those varying scales and levels of organization, with special focus on high level machine function. The book should be of particular interest to both industry and academic scientists, and government regulators, concerned with driverless cars on intelligent roads. Many of the same concerns also afflict high-end automated weapons systems. The book should appeal to students, researchers, and industrial and governmental administrators facing the design, operation, and maintenance of real time critical systems ranging across manufacturing facilities, transportation, finance, and military operations.

Critical Observations Versus Physical Models for Close Binary Systems by Kam-Ching Leung Pdf

This book contains the proceedings of the second joint research program on close binary systems between the People's Republic of China and the United States. The planning for the double stars conference developed gradually through several years of close cooperation between astronomers of the PRC and the US. Topics covered include interacting am binaries, H-alpha emission and polarization of RS CVn stars, observational approach to close binary evolution, the role of polarimetry in understanding close binary stars and their interactions, physical models for close binaries and logical constraints, and accretion disks in dwarf novae.

Critical Heutagogy Model for Critical Reading Instruction (Model Guidelines) by Ni Wayan Surya Mahayanti,Pratomo Widodo,Nur Hidayanto Setyo Pancoro Putro Pdf

This book is general guidelines for critical reading educators in universities who wish to implement empowering learning and are in line with the demands of 21st century learning. The Critical-Heutagogy Model (C-HM) guidelines are intended to provide educators with practical resources for implementing effective teaching strategies to increase students’ critical reading competencies and capabilities through language learning. Critical pedagogy and self-directed language learning are implemented in a formal education context with the help of the information contained in this model guidelines. This guideline is intended to provide educators with hands-on procedures for implementing effective teaching strategies to increase students’ critical reading competencies and capabilities through language learning. It contains model syntax, procedures, and elements in which lecturers can learn from independently. Lecturers can also find examples of the plans, implementations, assessments, reflections, and piloting LMS for Critical-Heutagogy model. As this book provides step-by-step guidance, the author expects that teachers can tailor their own critical-based language learning according to the needs of their unique classes. The greatest impact of this document will ultimately be felt by students, the primary audience of education.

INQUIRY TRAINING MODEL AND GUIDED DISCOVERY LEARNING FOR FOSTERING CRITICAL THINKING AND SCIENTIFIC ATTITUDE by SMITHA V.P. Pdf

Inquiry Training Model and Guided Discovery Learning are two teaching approaches that are known to promote critical thinking in students. This is a quasi experimental study to find their relative effectiveness in promoting critical thinking, scientific attitude and science achievement. This book describes the two approaches and also discusses critical thinking and scientific attitude in detail. It was found that both these approaches are equally effective and better than the conventional classroom lecture method in science education.

Critical Mindfulness by Sayyed Mohsen Fatemi Pdf

Expanding on the trailblazing ideas of Ellen Langer, this provocative volume explores the implications of critical mindfulness for making psychology more responsive and its practice more meaningful. Powerful critiques take the discipline to task for positioning therapists as experts over their clients and focusing on outcomes to the detriment of therapeutic process. Contributors use the principles of Langerian mindfulness to inform self-understanding and relationships, areas such as athletic performance and consumer decision making, and basic and complex forms of cognitive engagement. The mindfulness demonstrated here is not only critical but also creative, inclusive, and humane, with the potential to transform the consciousness of psychology and other mind-based fields. Included in the coverage: · Critical mindfulness of psychology’s mindlessness. · The construct of mindfulness amidst and along conceptions of rationality. · Understanding confidence: its roots and role in performance. · Mindfulness in action: the emergence of distinctive thought and behavior. · Langerian mindfulness and optimal sport performance. · Health and the psychology of possibility. Critical Mindfulness is bracing and insightful reading for undergraduate and graduate students, psychologists, psychiatrists, physicians, clinicians, neurologists, and educators within and outside positive psychology. These pages challenge the wider community of professionals to rethink their perspectives on practice—as well as their long-held tenets of living.
