Book excerpt: AI is everywhere, yet most people don't understand how AI works or even - due to invisible AI - if AI is at work.AI is a technology and by itself can do nothing. It only achieves agency once it is adopted by organisations as part of their business and decision-making process. The volume and consequentiality of these decisions increase exponentially as organisations and governments continue to adopt and scale their AI solutions. While these solutions can undoubtedly create benefits for society, they also create the potential for substantial harm, both intentional and unintentional.The lack of visibility and accountability with AI means that recognising when AI causes harm is complex, with corrective action even more challenging to achieve. In Checkmate Humanity nine internationally-renowned AI academics, researchers and an entrepreneur explore the AI terrain, outline the potential dangers of unconstrained AI development, consider how we might respond to the AI challenge and propose guidelines for organisations engaged in the development and deployment of AI-based applications. They also consider the catastrophic and existential risk that is posed by AI to society at large, to humanity, and to the planet. Checkmate Humanity is about responsible AI (RAI) in its widest sense.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The third edition of Reflective Practice depicts the concept of ‘reimagining’ in such a brilliant way and is a must-have resource for nurses.” –Portia Janine Jordan, PhD, MBA, MCUR, RN, FANSA Professor, Department of Nursing and Midwifery Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences Stellenbosch University “This incredible edition of a professional masterpiece pulls together global leaders, creative thinkers, entrepreneurs, educators, and practitioners to support and guide us as healthcare professionals. A joy to read and a must-read for all professionals who are reflexive.” –Thomas Kearns, EdD, MEd, BNS, RGN, RPN, RNT, FAAN, FFNMRCSI Past Executive Director (Dean), Faculty of Nursing and Midwifery RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences, Dublin Co-Director, Global Innovation and Leadership Academy, Faculty of Nursing and Midwifery, RCSI “In this outstanding book, Sara Horton-Deutsch and Gwen Sherwood provide an invaluable resource for nurse educators and their students. Reflective Practice: Reimagining Ourselves, Reimagining Nursing takes a complex topic and makes it accessible for learners across all levels. This should be required reading in all nursing programs!” –Pamela R. Jeffries, PhD, RN, FAAN, ANEF, FSSH Dean of Nursing, Valere Potter Professor of Nursing Vanderbilt School of Nursing A nurse’s work is multifaceted, medically complex, technically precise, and physically demanding. But nursing—the act of caring—is also social, emotional, impactful, and personal. Because nursing education programs prioritize the importance of the technical and physical aspects of nursing, that is what they teach. This leaves practicing nurses poorly equipped to understand the science of caring and unprepared for the constant stream of emotional and psychological stressors that come with this profoundly important work. The unintended consequences of this omission include burnout, toxic work environments, and exodus from the profession. In this highly anticipated and particularly timely third edition of Reflective Practice, authors Sara Horton-Deutsch and Gwen Sherwood invite readers to reflect, recalibrate, reimagine, rethink, and reframe the work of nursing care and their various roles and relationships within it. This book focuses first on the individual, then practice settings, and finally systems and communities while providing supporting theoretical frameworks, practical applications, and opportunities for personal and shared reflection along the way. Reflective Practice guides nurses to emotional and psychological fulfillment in all aspects of care.

Book Synopsis Godly Origins: Worldviews Collide by : Emerson Thomas McMullen B.S. M.S. M.A. Ph.D.
Download or read book Godly Origins: Worldviews Collide written by Emerson Thomas McMullen B.S. M.S. M.A. Ph.D. and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2023-06-26 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is no conflict between the Bible and science that is evidence-based. The conflict is between belief in the Biblical Worldview and belief in a non-biblical worldview. If a claim about nature is not testable or observable and then confirmable, it is not science. This book shows where evidence-based science supports the Biblical Worldview, and where evidence-based science conflicts with the other so-called “scientific” worldviews of our modern times. For instance, experiments have shown over and over that life does not arise from chemicals, observations show that biological change is limited, chance does not cause anything, and the Big Bang violates the principle of cause and effect, is not testable, and therefore is not scientific. In his 1859 book, On the Origin of Species, Charles Darwin correctly wrote about his “belief in the transmutation of species” (p302), that “The theory of natural selection is grounded on . . . belief” (p320), and that he believed we descended from one common ancestor (p484). Darwin believed in evolution because he had no evidence. Concerning On the Origin of Species, he admitted that “the whole volume is one long argument” (p459). Concerning God, Darwin wrote about “. . . the laws impressed on matter by the Creator” (p488). Yet, evolutionist Jerry Coyne of the University of Chicago wrote that “the bulk of Darwin’s 1859 book, On the Origin of Species (first edition) actually comprises evidence for evolution.” This claim was in a 2014 letter from atheists complaining about the author to his University President. A signer of this letter (from the Freedom From Religion Foundation) was British multi-millionaire, Richard Dawkins. Atheists such as Coyne and Dawkins have no evidence for their claims that life came from chemicals, that we descended from a common ancestor, or that there is no God. They believe these claims.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors offer unique insights into the factors that make us susceptible to dietary and lifestyle excesses, and present ways to restore the biological processes designed by nature to keep us running at maximum efficiency and vitality. A wake-up call to even the most health conscious people, The Pleasure Trap boldy challenges conventional wisdom about sickness and unhappiness in today's contemporary culture, and offers groundbreaking solutions for achieving change. Authors Douglas Lisel, Ph.D., and Alan Goldhamer, D.C., provide a fascinating new perspective on how modern life can turn so many smart, savvy people into the unwitting saboteurs of their own well-being. Inspired by stunning original research, comprehensive clinical studies, and their successes with thousands of patients, the authors construct a new paradigm for the psychology of health, offering fresh hope for anyone stuck in a self-destructive rut. Integrating principals of evolutionary biology with trailblazing, proactive strategies for well

Book Synopsis Religion, Public Health and Human Security in Nigeria by : Abiodun Alao
Download or read book Religion, Public Health and Human Security in Nigeria written by Abiodun Alao and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-12-28 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book critically examines the intersection of religion, public health and human security in Nigeria. Focusing on Christianity, Islam, traditional religions and "intra-religious" doctrinal divergencies, the book explores the impact faith has on health-related decisions and how this affects security in Nigeria. The book assesses the connection between religion and five contemporary major health and medical issues in the country. This includes the issue of epidemics and pandemics such as the Covid-19 pandemic, vaccines, contraception, blood transfusion and the controversies associated with "miracle healing". In particular, this book explores situations where individuals have the power of choice but instead embraces faith and religious positions that contradict science in the management of their health and, in the process, expose themselves and others to personal health insecurity. It investigates aspects of human security including the wider international ramifications of health issues, approaches to cures and the interpretation of causes of diseases, as well as the ethno-religious connotations of such interpretations. Exploring key issues that have brought religion into the politics of health and human security in Nigeria, this book will be of interest to students and scholars in the field of African Religion, African Politics, African Studies, public health, security, and Sociology.

Book excerpt: When combined with artificial intelligence, advanced computing architectures and enhanced communications, sensor technologies can monitor vessel performance and the adjacent environment to detect conditions that may hinder voyage completion. This book provides insight into the present and future of sensor architectures and configurations that can enhance vessel performance and further improve the safety of navigation. It covers topics such as traditional and expanded sensor functions in engineering and navigation, as well as new sensor capabilities that can provide greater insight into vessel behavior and performance and enhance awareness of passenger, crew and other human activities. Chapters offer background information on typical legacy vessel sensor configurations and current International Maritime Organization (IMO) requirements for onboard sensors and future regulatory trends before discussing modern sensors and current- generation “smart” sensors that provide enhanced situational awareness to watchstanders. A vision of next- generation sensors currently being investigated for shipboard use is provided along with long- term trends in quantum sensing and computing that promise radical change across a wide variety of vessel functions. Insight is also given into cybersecurity factors so essential to all sensor systems. Ship Sensors: Conventional, Unmanned and Autonomous is ideal for professional seafarers, maritime academics and university students, and developers of maritime sensors and systems.

Book Synopsis Can We Zoom into God? by : Andrew Hemingway
Download or read book Can We Zoom into God? written by Andrew Hemingway and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2023-10-19 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Zoom worship emerged in Britain during the COVID lockdown of 2020, Christians quickly turned to an art form, a form of theater, to deliver their worship. It was a quest for immanence, the very thing the Reformation dealt with by the elevation of transcendence. What an intriguing thought: Could John Calvin with his dictum regarding piety have practiced Zoom worship? Served as he was with the principle that the finite cannot contain the infinite, we must admit it looks very unlikely! At least in this Calvin saw eye-to-eye with Erasmus, but what of Luther? He may have been a comfortable Zoom worshiper, with his views that "Religious artworks are neither here nor there" and "We may have them or not as we please." Little did the church realize that it would be a step back into the past, because "what you permit you promote." The desire to use images was much more sinister than in Medieval times, as these were now images of ourselves! Regardless of the age, the image reigns supreme. What had caused the demise? Was it bereavement? It could not be bereavement of God; rather, it was the loss of the social, the bereavement of "one another." The need for "one-anothering" had forced the hand of Christians to turn to a practice completely untested. Zoom worship was born--the genie is out, and will never go back in. But in the face of the now-acceptable force of contemporary narcissism, who cares?
Download or read book The Human Mind written by Valentin Matcas and published by Valentin Leonard Matcas. This book was released on 2014-10-16 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is nice to learn how mysterious and complex the human mind is, who discovered the synapse, when, in what specific university, and what everyone was doing that day, but what you really want to know is how your mind functions, how you reason, how you have your feelings and ideas, and how your mind affects you in every detail. You want to know exactly what happens in your mind when you watch the painting of Renoir with the beautiful woman wearing the white dress and playing the grand piano and why it makes you enjoy a beautiful moment then, compared to watching sofas and armchairs. You want to know all details related to how a simple yellow car on the road can remind you of your best friend and of all the loving moments that you once had, through what cognitive mechanisms it happens, and even more, you want to know why it reminds you of your friend sometimes, while other times it associates with work, rain, and shopping. How exactly does the mind know all these? Since it is interesting as it happens, while it remains at an unconscious level, and you just cannot find out how it takes place, in order to be able to control it and use it whenever you desire. You want to know exactly how you are able to predict the displacement of a tennis ball in order to hit it perfectly in an instant giving its exact speed, direction, and angular momentum necessary to win, and doing so long before your conscious mind even perceives the ball. How can your subconscious do so without your conscious mind, while the conscious mind should be more capable and therefore better prepared according to science? What is the exact cognitive mechanism? Because if you can only know it, all your strategies in life can become flawless. You want to know exactly how your mind is able to solve advanced mathematical problems and how it retrieves on its own the proper knowledge in order to perform very abstract operations. How does everything happen? How do you have your ideas in mathematics, business, and art? What is the human creativity, and how can the human mind achieve it at will and in all domains? What exactly makes your brain perform better or worse under all circumstances, and why exactly is reasoning different in everybody? How do you perform abstract thinking? How do you imagine? How exactly does your mind generate plans and strategies related to important future events? How do you comprehend and enjoy various topics in psychology, literature, mathematics, art, and music? How do you love? How does everything happen within your mind, brain, and the entire organism? Because this is of interest, this is what you want to know, while this is what you actually need in life, since without these, you cannot understand your mind, the extraordinary human mind. And since your mind and reasoning integrate you in life and in the world, now you cannot understand yourself, life, the world, and your place and meaning in life and in the world without understanding the human mind along with the human reasoning. While it is meaningful to know these well, otherwise you end up doing everything else instead of reasoning accurately, developing entirely, and behaving adequately in life and in the world. Since ignorance always harms the world, while now it even has its own cause, the lack of accurate knowledge about the human mind. Throughout this book, we create a comprehensive mental model for the human mind, including its structure, abilities, development, interconnectivity, reasoning, and further meanings, allowing you to understand yourself and your entire cognition. If you want to understand the human mind in all its meaningful details, this book is for you.
Download or read book Checkmate... written by E. S. Geary and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2012 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the goal of a regime-change the Central Intelligence Agency believed that with Geary's insertion as a senior officer in the country's military establishment he would be well placed to act as a CIA NOC - a spy with no official cover. His mission was to covertly provide intelligence gathered through his unique friendships with the general officers of the country's Navy, Army and Air Force. In possession of confidential, compromising and possibly damaging personal details, the CIA believed that the military forces of the country could be neutralized if they were opposed to the regime-change that would be brought about through an orchestrated coup d'etat planned and paid for by the Agency. In reward for his spying efforts the CIA offers substantial payments from a slush-fund that will be paid through a numbered bank account in an off-shore jurisdiction. Following his refusal to become a spy for the Agency they embark on a program to discredit him and repeatedly attempted to kill him. A Deep Throat emerges from the shadows of Washington who provides information that leads to exposure of the CIA's nefarious activities through a CNN - Cable News Network report. Prevailing in his lawsuit against the Government allowed him to tell the story of the CIA's Venezuelan Conspiracy brought about because of Oil. The Reverend of Caracas is a fictionalized version of the saga."

Book Synopsis The Humanity of Private Law by : Nicholas McBride
Download or read book The Humanity of Private Law written by Nicholas McBride and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-04-30 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part II of The Humanity of Private Law charts a new course for English private law in the twenty-first century. Part I set out the vision of human flourishing that English private law has in mind in seeking to promote its subjects' flourishing. Part II argues in favour of a very different account of what human flourishing involves, and explains what private law would look like were it to base itself on this alternative vision of the nature of human flourishing. This volume: sets out and evaluates different models of what human flourishing involves; argues in favour of the view that human flourishing involves being engaged in a quest to lead a truthful life; explains in what ways a private law that sought to foster this distinctive vision of human flourishing would be different from English private law in its current state, in particular with regard to: (i) tackling fraud; (ii) promoting freedom of speech; (iii) preserving attention capacities; (iv) protecting people from being subjected to degrading or hateful treatment; and (v) enabling people to make a fresh start in their lives; and, considers whether and when it would be legitimate for the courts to transform English private law in the ways suggested in this volume. Part II of The Humanity of Private Law is a radical and prophetic book that is essential reading for anyone who is interested in understanding the contribution private law can make to our living in a society that promotes the flourishing of all its members.

Download or read book The Last Checkmate written by Gabriella Saab and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2021-10-19 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A PopSugar Best Book of the Year! Readers of Heather Morris’s The Tattooist of Auschwitz and watchers of The Queen’s Gambit won’t want to miss this amazing debut set during World War II. A young Polish resistance worker, imprisoned in Auschwitz as a political prisoner, plays chess in exchange for her life, and in doing so fights to bring the man who destroyed her family to justice. Maria Florkowska is many things: daughter, avid chess player, and, as a member of the Polish underground resistance in Nazi-occupied Warsaw, a young woman brave beyond her years. Captured by the Gestapo, she is imprisoned in Auschwitz, but while her family is sent to their deaths, she is spared. Realizing her ability to play chess, the sadistic camp deputy, Karl Fritzsch, decides to use her as a chess opponent to entertain the camp guards. However, once he tires of exploiting her skills, he has every intention of killing her. Befriended by a Catholic priest, Maria attempts to overcome her grief, vows to avenge the murder of her family, and plays for her life. For four grueling years, her strategy is simple: Live. Fight. Survive. By cleverly provoking Fritzsch’s volatile nature in front of his superiors, Maria intends to orchestrate his downfall. Only then will she have a chance to evade the fate awaiting her and see him punished for his wickedness. As she carries out her plan and the war nears its end, she challenges her former nemesis to one final game, certain to end in life or death, in failure or justice. If Maria can bear to face Fritzsch—and her past—one last time.
