Social Sciences The Big Issues

Social Sciences The Big Issues

Fully revised and updated the fourth edition of Social Sciences: The Big Issues explores key debates about how we live our personal domestic and emotional lives at a time of enormous previously unimaginable change and disruption including a pandemic that locked down households and economies. Since the third edition everyone’s life has changed. The pandemic – at least temporarily – stopped social life as we knew it and virtually forced governments to close down their economies. This is where this edition of The Big Issues starts. Staying at home posed a radical departure from routine life but reactions to Covid-19 have exposed the endurance of particular social relations – especially inequalities – which characterize societies worldwide. A few of the new big issues covered in this edition include: Changing selves and personal lives in light of racism and sexual and identity politics in a pandemic Changing patterns of consumption in relation to market production and what it means for climate change Changing intersections of citizenship migration and globalization in the context of the virus crossing borders and both the opportunities and sources of inequality involved Changing ideas about power politics and populism in the aftermath of Brexit Building on the strong foundation of this well-loved text this fully revised fourth edition explores how big issues and social forces intersect to create both change and evidence of continuity especially of social inequalities. It provides a clear accessible introduction to the ideas and approaches of the social sciences across a range of disciplines including sociology psychology and politics. | Social Sciences The Big Issues

Diagramming the Big Idea Methods for Architectural Composition

Diagramming the Big Idea Methods for Architectural Composition

Becoming an architect is a daunting task. Beyond the acquisition of new skills and procedures beginning designers face an entirely unfamiliar mode of knowledge: design thinking. In Diagramming the Big Idea Jeffrey Balmer and Michael T. Swisher introduce the fundamentals of design thinking by illustrating how architects make and use diagrams to clarify their understanding of both specific architectural projects and universal principles of form and order. With accessible step-by-step procedures that interweave diagrams drawings and virtual models the authors demonstrate how to compose clear and revealing diagrams. Design thinking defines a method for engaging the world through observation and analysis. Beyond problem solving design is a search for possibilities. Mastering design thinking begins with learning the fundamentals of visual composition. It embraces the ability to synthesize deductive and imaginative reasoning combining both shrewd scrutiny and fevered speculation. Design diagrams make visible the abstractions that order the built environment. Premised upon the Beaux-Arts notion of the architectural parti Balmer and Swisher adopt the ‘Big Idea’ as a foil and as a suitcase to organize fundamentals of architectural composition. The goal of this book is to make explicit to students what they are learning why they are learning it and how to internalize such lessons toward their lifelong development as designers. | Diagramming the Big Idea Methods for Architectural Composition

Social Sensing and Big Data Computing for Disaster Management

Social Sensing and Big Data Computing for Disaster Management

Social Sensing and Big Data Computing for Disaster Management captures recent advancements in leveraging social sensing and big data computing for supporting disaster management. Specifically analysed within this book are some of the promises and pitfalls of social sensing data for disaster relevant information extraction impact area assessment population mapping occurrence patterns geographical disparities in social media use and inclusion in larger decision support systems. Traditional data collection methods such as remote sensing and field surveying often fail to offer timely information during or immediately following disaster events. Social sensing enables all citizens to become part of a large sensor network which is low cost more comprehensive and always broadcasting situational awareness information. However data collected with social sensing is often massive heterogeneous noisy and unreliable in some aspects. It comes in continuous streams and often lacks geospatial reference information. Together these issues represent a grand challenge toward fully leveraging social sensing for emergency management decision making under extreme duress. Meanwhile big data computing methods and technologies such as high-performance computing deep learning and multi-source data fusion become critical components of using social sensing to understand the impact of and response to the disaster events in a timely fashion. This book was originally published as a special issue of the International Journal of Digital Earth.

Big Data and Competition Law Market Power Assessment in the Data-Driven Economy

Big Data and Competition Law Market Power Assessment in the Data-Driven Economy

Recent studies on competition law and digital markets reveal that accumulating personal information through data collection and acquisition methods benefits consumers considerably. Free of charge fast and personalised services and products are offered to consumers online. Collected data is now an indispensable part of online businesses to the point that a new economy a data-driven sector has emerged. Many markets such as the social network search engine online advertising and e-commerce are regarded as data-driven markets in which the utilisation of Big Data is a requisite for the success of operations. However the accumulation and use of data brings competition law concerns as they contribute to market power in the online world resulting in a few technology giants gaining unprecedented market power due to the Big Data accumulation indirect network effects and the creation of online ecosystems. As technology giants have billions of consumers worldwide data-driven markets are truly global. In these data-driven markets technology giants abuse their dominant positions but existing competition law tools seem ineffective in addressing market power and assessing abusive behaviour related to Big Data. This book argues that a novel approach to the data-driven sector must be developed through the application of competition law rules to address this. It argues that current and potential conflicts can be mitigated by extending the competition law assessment beyond the current competition law tools to offer a modernised and unified approach to the Big Data–related competition issues. Promoting new legal tests for addressing the market power of technology giants and assessing abusive behaviour in data-driven markets this book advocates for cooperation between competition and data protection authorities. It will be of interest to students academics and practitioners with an interest in competition law and data protection. | Big Data and Competition Law Market Power Assessment in the Data-Driven Economy

Big Data Code and the Discrete City Shaping Public Realms

Big Data Code and the Discrete City Shaping Public Realms

Big Data Code and the Discrete City explores how digital technologies are gradually changing the way in which the public space is designed by architects managed by policymakers and experienced by individuals. Smart city technologies are superseding the traditional human experience that has characterised the making of the public space until today. This book examines how computers see the public space and the effect of algorithms artificial intelligences and automated processes on the human experience in public spaces. Divided into three parts the first part of this book examines the notion of discreteness in its origins and applications to computer sciences. The second section presents a dual perspective: it explores the ways in which public spaces are constructed by the computer-driven logic and then translated into control mechanisms design strategies and software-aided design. This perspective also describes the way in which individuals perceive this new public space through its digital logic and discrete mechanisms (from Wi-Fi coverage to self-tracking). Finally in the third part this book scrutinises the discrete logic with which computers operate and how this is permeating into aspects of city life. This book is valuable for anyone interested in urban studies and digital technologies and more specifically in big data urban informatics and public space. | Big Data Code and the Discrete City Shaping Public Realms

The State and Big Business in Russia Understanding Kremlin–Business Relations in the Early Putin Era

The State and Big Business in Russia Understanding Kremlin–Business Relations in the Early Putin Era

This book presents a study of the complex relationship between the Russian state and big business during Vladimir Putin’s first two presidential terms (2000–2008). Based on extensive original research it focuses on the interaction of Russia’s political executive with the ‘oligarchs’. It shows how Putin’s crackdown on this elite group led big business to accept new ‘rules of the game’ and how this was accompanied by the involvement of big business in policy formulation particularly through the organisational vehicle of the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs (RSPP). It goes on to discuss why Yukos and its CEO Mikhail Khodorkovsky were targeted by Russia’s political authorities and the resultant consequences namely the end of the relatively successful framework via which state-business relations had been managed and its replacement by fear and mutual distrust along with a vastly expanded role for the state and state-related actors in the Russian corporate sector. The book explores all these developments in detail and sets them against the context of continued trends towards greater authoritarianism in Russia. | The State and Big Business in Russia Understanding Kremlin–Business Relations in the Early Putin Era

Translation and Big Details Part-Whole Thinking as Practice and Theory

Translation and Big Details Part-Whole Thinking as Practice and Theory

In the age of big data evidence keeps suggesting that small elusive and infrequent details make all the difference in our appreciation of humanistic texts—film fiction and philosophy. This book argues from a cross-disciplinary perspective that expertise in humanistic translation is precisely the capacity to capture those details that are bigger than they seem. In humanistic translation the expert handling of big details usually serves audiences and the original but mala fide translation also works the details for subtle manipulation and audience deception. A focus on textual detail is therefore characteristic of humanistic translators but also compatible with central claims of the cultural turn in translation studies. This book written by a scholar and teacher of literary essayistic and audiovisual translation endeavors to articulate a seemingly dual interest—on textual detail and cultural analysis—as a single one. It theorizes connections between micro and macro analysis between translation as detail and translation as culture thus hoping to build bridges between humanistic translators and translation scholars. It acknowledges tensions between practice and theory and proposes a way forward: practitioners and scholars share ways of thinking—varieties of part-whole thinking—that machines can never acquire. | Translation and Big Details Part-Whole Thinking as Practice and Theory
