Download or read book Identification of Change Patterns for the Generation of Models of Work-as-Done using Eye-tracking written by Arenius, Marcus and published by kassel university press GmbH. This book was released on 2017-01-01 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this PhD a method was developed to identify systematic patterns of change in visual attention allocation (change patterns). The change patterns were then integrated into the Functional Resonance Analysis Method (FRAM) for the generation of models of work-as-done. The change patterns were validated against known changes in visual attention allocation due to shifts in functions of work-as-done in several eye-tracking studies: three simulator studies, one field study and one experimental study. In total approx. 50 hours of eye-tracking data was analyzed. The results of the method were validated quantitatively and qualitatively. In the quantitative validation, the changes in visual attention allocation due to changes in functions were covered with a mean deviation of approx. 13 seconds averaged over all datasets (2% deviation relative to the recording lengths). In the qualitative validation, the change patterns produced were found to be plausible for the evaluated studies. Finally, it was demonstrated how the change patterns can be integrated into FRAM and potentially contribute to the understanding of emergent effects in industries with high levels of automation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the last two centuries, the way economic science is done has changed radically: it has become a social science based on mathematical models in place of words. This book describes and analyses that change - both historically and philosophically - using a series of case studies to illuminate the nature and the implications of these changes. It is not a technical book; it is written for the intelligent person who wants to understand how economics works from the inside out. This book will be of interest to economists and science studies scholars (historians, sociologists and philosophers of science). But it also aims at a wider readership in the public intellectual sphere, building on the current interest in all things economic and on the recent failure of the so-called economic model, which has shaped our beliefs and the world we live in.

Book excerpt: Online publication: https://pub.norden.org/temanord2020-513/ Abstract [en] This report explores how the platform economy is evolving in the Nordic countries and how its evolution is influenced by the Nordic labour market models and vice-versa. Here, we include all the Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden), except Iceland, where platform work is still very marginal. While remaining a marginal phenomenon in the Nordic countries, platform work can be seen as one important case in which many key aspects of the changing world of work coalesce. This report on platform work in the Nordic countries thus connects some of the themes explored in the other pillars of the NFoW project, such as digitalization, new forms of employment and the legal and regulatory challenges currently faced by the social partners, governments and Nordic labour market models.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Applications of general equilibrium models to different problems arising in tax policy - such as identifying desirable tax bases in Bangladesh, analyzing price controls in China, and coordinating tax- cum- tariff reform in India - show how useful they can be in supplementing more qualitative judgements. But they are useful only if substantial effort is devoted to establishing a consistent data set and to choosing the structure of the model in a way that makes its behavior consistent with what good economic analysis would suggest.

This book was released on 2019-06-21 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main purpose of this book is not only to present recent studies and advances in the field of social science research, but also to stimulate discussion on related practical issues concerning statistics, mathematics, and economics. Accordingly, a broad range of tools and techniques that can be used to solve problems on these topics are presented in detail in this book, which offers an ideal reference work for all researchers interested in effective quantitative and qualitative tools. The content is divided into three major sections. The first, which is titled “Social work”, collects papers on problems related to the social sciences, e.g. social cohesion, health, and digital technologies. Papers in the second part, “Education and teaching issues,” address qualitative aspects, education, learning, violence, diversity, disability, and ageing, while the book’s final part, “Recent trends in qualitative and quantitative models for socio-economic systems and social work”, features contributions on both qualitative and quantitative issues. The book is based on a scientific collaboration, in the social sciences, mathematics, statistics, and economics, among experts from the “Pablo de Olavide” University of Seville (Spain), the “University of Defence” of Brno (Czech Republic), the “G. D’Annunzio” University of Chieti-Pescara (Italy) and “Alexandru Ioan Cuza University” of Iaşi (Romania). The contributions, which have been selected using a peer-review process, examine a wide variety of topics related to the social sciences in general, while also highlighting new and intriguing empirical research conducted in various countries. Given its scope, the book will appeal, in equal measure, to sociologists, mathematicians, statisticians and philosophers, and more generally to scholars and specialists in related fields.

Download or read book PHILOSOPHY AND SOCIAL WORK: Philosophical Bases, Models and Sources for a Humanistic Social Work 2023 HARDCOVER EDITION written by and published by Petru Stefaroi. This book was released on 2023-05-23 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edition comprises, brings together, incorporates, synthesizes some of the author's works, books, articles, chapters, ideas, fragments, in print and electronic form, with themes, topics, ideas that address the relation between philosophy and social work/ welfare/ policy, with emphasis on the humanistic paradigm/ approach, published in academic format, between 2011 and 2023. No new sections were introduced, but the bibliography was partially updated, bringing to attention relevant titles that appeared after the previous edition. In the book it is analyzed the complex and delicate relationship between philosophy and social work/welfare, between the philosophical system of concepts and ideas and the theory/axiology of social work/welfare, especially from a humanistic perspective, bringing face to face, on the one hand, the great branches or sub-domains of philosophy, respectively ontology, ethics, social philosophy, personology, and, on the other hand, the great sub-domains or issues of social work/welfare, respectively the way of representation the client and the social problem (difficult situation, risk situation, vulnerability, resilience, etc.), the system of constitutive values and principles, the way of representation of the professional and the specific practice/methodology, etc. The relation between philosophy and social work is, no doubt, biunivocal. philosophy encompasses, in its purpose and history, the "social" issue/dimension, in its broader human sense, especially with the preoccupations in the sphere of ethics and social philosophy, but also of the existentialist-humanistic and humanistic-personalist philosophies, as the, social work, as general theory and axiology, cannot be conceived without a consistent philosophical representation. Both the system of fundamental values and the mission or methodology of social work/welfare are, most often, stated in the terms of an explicit applied social, ethical and humanistic philosophy, even if not always this aspect it is highlighted in an assumed way. An important observation that must to be done is that the author does not proposes in his book (and nor does it accomplish) an exhaustive, profound and complete approach and exposure of the relation, connection - from a humanistic point of view - between philosophy and social work/welfare, between their sub-domains, but only he brings into attention this subject, this theme, very little approached in the literature in relation to its indisputable importance. Regarding the destination of this paper, its design, content and bibliography are made in such a way that to be useful both to the academic community, to students and teachers in philosophy and social sciences and practices, and also to the professional community, to social workers, psychotherapists, educators, social managers, etc.

This book was released on with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How Do Large Language Models Work? A Beginner's Guide to AI Chatbots and Text Generation Have you ever chatted with a seemingly intelligent bot online or read a news article suspiciously close to human writing? These feats are powered by Large Language Models (LLMs), complex AI systems revolutionizing how computers understand and generate human language. This book unveils the fascinating world of LLMs, making their inner workings accessible to anyone curious about the future of AI communication. The journey begins by exploring the core technology behind chatbots – LLMs. We delve into the concept of neural networks, the brain-inspired architecture that allows LLMs to learn patterns from vast amounts of text data. You'll discover how word embeddings, a numerical representation of words, empower LLMs to grasp the relationships between words and sentences. Next, we unlock the magic of text generation. Imagine an LLM as a sophisticated Mad Libs player, predicting the most likely word to follow based on context. By analyzing vast amounts of text, LLMs learn to mimic writing styles, generate different formats like poems or code, and even craft narratives with plot and character development. However, the book doesn't shy away from the challenges. We discuss the potential for bias inherited from training data and the importance of ethical considerations in LLM development. We explore how researchers are combating bias and ensuring transparency in LLM training methodologies. The book then dives deep into the fascinating world of AI chatbots. LLMs are the brains behind these chatbots, enabling them to understand your questions and respond with natural language. We explore how LLMs analyze the context of your query, identify the intent behind your questions, and generate responses that are relevant, informative, and even engaging. Finally, we look towards the future, exploring the limitless potential of LLMs. We discuss how they might revolutionize search engines by understanding user intent and delivering personalized results. The potential for human-AI collaboration in the workplace is also explored, where LLMs become powerful collaborators, suggesting ideas and automating tedious tasks. "How Do Large Language Models Work?" is your gateway to understanding this groundbreaking technology. With clear explanations and engaging examples, it demystifies the world of LLMs and empowers you to grasp their potential to transform the way we interact with technology and information.
