Design Recommendations for Intelligent Tutoring Systems by Dr. Robert A. Sottilare, US Army Research Laboratory,Dr. Arthur Graesser, University of Memphis,Dr. Xiangen Hu, University of Memphis,Dr. Benjamin Goldberg, US Army Research Laboratory Pdf
Design Recommendations for Intelligent Tutoring Systems explores the impact of intelligent tutoring system design on education and training. Specifically, this volume examines “Instructional Management” techniques, strategies and tactics, and identifies best practices, emerging concepts and future needs to promote efficient and effective adaptive tutoring solutions. Design recommendations include current, projected, and emerging capabilities within the Generalized Intelligent Framework for Tutoring (GIFT), an open source, modular, service-oriented architecture developed to promote simplified authoring, reuse, standardization, automated instructional management and analysis of tutoring technologies.
This book uses rare pathologies to inform questions on topics such as consciousness and rationality. Rather than trying to answer these by inventing far-fetched scenario or 'thought experiments', it is better to utilize a rich but under-used clinical resource.

The Vulnerable Heart of Literacy by Elizabeth Dutro Pdf
What is trauma and what does it mean for the literacy curriculum? In this book, elementary teachers will learn how to approach difficult experiences through the everyday instruction and interactions in their classrooms. Readers will look inside classrooms and literacies across genres to see what can unfold when teachers are committed to compassionate, critical, and relational practice. Weaving her own challenging experiences into chapters brimming with children’s writing and voices, Dutro emphasizes that issues of power and privilege matter centrally to how attention to trauma positions children. The book includes questions and prompts for discussion, reflection, and practice and describes pedagogies and strategies designed to provide opportunities for children to bring the varied experiences of life, including trauma, to their school literacies in positive, meaningful, and supported ways. “This stunning book about trauma interrogates the very notion. Dutro excels at interweaving her stories with those of teachers and students and at challenging readers to find their way into the fabric. I recommend this book to teachers so that they might accept her challenge to explore and understand the importance of both witnessing and testimony in relation to trauma in literacy curriculum and pedagogy.” —Mollie Blackburn, The Ohio State University

Handbook Of Clinical And Experimental Neuropsychology by Gianfranco Denes,Luigi Pizzamiglio Pdf
The domain of neuroscience has had one of the most explosive growths in recent decades: within this development there has been a remarkable and renewed interest in the study of the relations between behaviour and the central nervous system. Part of this new attention is connected with the contribution of new technologies (PET, fMRI) permitting more precise mapping of neural structures responsible for cognitive functions and the development of new theoretical models of mental activities. The diffusion of new pathologies (for example the pattern of cognitive impairment associated with AIDS) has further enlarged the field of clinical neuropsychology. Finally there has been an expanding clinical interest in the understanding and management of age-related cognitive changes. This volume is the translated and updated version of the second edition of Manuale di Neuropsicologia (Zanichelli, 1996), by the same authors, and it reflects the current status of the art. It is intended to blend clinical and theoretical aspects of neuropsychology. The first part discusses the instrumental and clinical methods of investigation in neuropsychology, together with their development. A long section is dedicated to the language and memory disorders. The impairment of non-verbal cognitve functions, such as the disorders of space orientation, of of visuo-perceptive abilities, and of the emotions and attention, are extensively discussed. The pattern of degenerative dementias is thorougly described, as e is thoroughly described, as well as a number of new topics, such as a neuropsychological approach to consciousness. Finally, perspectives for treatment of some cognitive disorders are outlined.

New Essays on the Normativity of Law by Stefano Bertea,George Pavlakos Pdf
An important part of the legal domain has to do with rule-governed conduct, and is expressed by the use of notions such as norm, obligation, duty and right. These require us to acknowledge the normative dimension of law. Normativity is, accordingly, to be regarded as a central feature of law lying at the heart of any comprehensive legal-theoretical project. The essays collected in this book are meant to further our understanding of the normativity of law. More specifically, the book stages a thorough discussion of legal normativity as approached from three strands of legal thought that are particularly influential and which play a key role in shaping debates on the normative dimension of law: the theory of planning agency, legal conventionalism and the constitutivist approach. While the essays presented here do not aspire to give an exhaustive picture of these debates - an aspiration that would be, by its very nature, unrealistic - they do provide the reader with some authoritative statements of some widely discussed families of views of legal normativity. In pursuing this objective, these essays also encourage a dialogue between different traditions of study of legal normativity, stimulating those who would not otherwise look outside their tradition of thought to engage with new ideas and, ultimately, to arrive at a more comprehensive account of the normativity of law.

Queer and Trans African Mobilities by B Camminga,John Marnell Pdf
Winner, ASR Best Africa-Focused Edited Collection by the African Studies Review Recent years have seen increased scholarly and media interest in the cross-border movements of LGBT persons, particularly those seeking protection in the Global North . While this has helped focus attention on the plight of individuals fleeing homophobic or transphobic persecution, it has also reinvigorated racist tropes about the Global South. In the case of Africa, the expansion of anti-LGBT laws and the prevalence of hetero-patriarchal discourses are regularly cited as evidence of an inescapable savagery. The figure of the LGBT refugee – often portrayed as helplessly awaiting rescue – reinforces colonial notions about the continent and its peoples. Queer and Trans African Mobilities draws on diverse case studies from the length and breadth of Africa, offering the first in-depth investigation of LGBT migration on and from the continent. The collection provides new insights into the drivers and impacts of displacement linked to sexual orientation or gender identity and challenges notions about why LGBT Africans move, where they are going and what they experience along the way.
Developing Theories of Intention by Philip David Zelazo,Janet Wilde Astington,David R. Olson Pdf
The chapters collected in this volume represent the "state-of-the-art" of research on the development of intentional action and intentional understanding--topics that are at the intersection of current research on imitation, early understanding of mental states, goal-directed behavior in nonhuman animals, executive function, language acquisition, and narrative understanding, to name just a few of the relevant foci. Collectively, the contributors demonstrate that intentionality is a key issue in the cognitive and social sciences. Moreover, in a way that was anticipated more than a century ago by the seminal work of J. Mark Baldwin, they are beginning to reveal how the control of action is related in development to children's emerging self-conscious and their increasingly sophisticated appreciation of other people's perspectives. This volume brings together the world's leading researchers on early social and cognitive development in an in-depth exploration of children's understanding of themselves and others.
THE COLOMBIAN CONTRACT (A contract that threatened the credibility of the US Administration) The Colombian Contract is a powerful, post Gulf War thriller with a very emotive and heinous assassination plot. As the US is fighting the Gulf War. It is also involved in a war against the Colombian Drug Syndicates. The Drug Barons are losing ground and are screaming for revenge, and have taken out a contract on an unnamed, leading US political figure. Regos Shamir, alias Boris Stravok, is a top terrorist who learned his killing trade with the KGB before falling foul of his masters and taking his trade into the services of the Colombian Drug Barons. He has been given the Colombian Contract and all the undercover networks and resources of the drug market to back his play. The CIA want him dead and so does the KGB because he is exploiting, and endangering his former KGB contacts. Shamir is psychopathic killer who gets results because of his meticulous planning and patience, and for this contract he boasts a new type of murder weapon. The crux of the novel is the assassination threat and the fallout, dangers, and consequences that it causes and leaves in its wake. Many of those who become involved in this murderous web of intrigue, deception, and treason have common roots in the days when the Cold War threat was at its height, and Shamir was the top hatchet man for the notorious KGBs Department 13 operating in France, North Africa and the USA. At a wedding reception in the town of Railton in North Minnesota, a bomb explodes killing the bride and bridegroom and several guests and injuring many more. This, apparently indiscriminate, heinous killing becomes even more vile when the FBI discover that the explosive used was more powerful than they had come across before, and that the nature of the bombing had been by an implant, capsule bomb that had been innocently carried by the groom in his body. It is later confirmed that the bomb was a trial run by Shamir of his new, fiendish, killing weapon of which he boasted. And that he has another bomb and another, innocent carrier. Instantly, Shamir has raised the steaks and put the combined CIA/FBI Anti Terrorist Unit, into a more frantic ball game, and, Bradley, a tough, hard hitting CIA man who now heads the combined unit has to make some hard decisions. There is an immediate blanket of secrecy put over their operation. Shamir now holds all the aces. Bradley and his team have only their questions and the dangers. Who is innocently carrying the bomb? Who is Shamir`s target? And what is his deadline? Every Government Intelligence Agency is recruited to help find Shamir, and help is also sort from friendly, foreign Intelligence. Agencies. But Bradley knows that even if he gets the answers, he will still have the problem of the implant bomb, which the FBI explosive specialists now believe cannot be removed without the very high risk of detonation. And who would risk undertaking such an operation? And what of the innocent carrier? How will he or she react? And supposing Bradley does get the carriers name, what does he do? Once he makes any move, no matter how secretly, he runs the risk of a leak of information. And to counter Shamirs threat, the Colombian Barons will be the victors and there will be a lot of dead political figures. The stage finally becomes set for a night of summer madness and a game of Russian roulette with the lives of some very important people.
