How To Do Primary Care Research

How To Do Primary Care Research

This practical ‘How To’ guide talks the reader step-by-step through designing conducting and disseminating primary care research a growing discipline internationally. The vast majority of health care issues are experienced by people in community settings who are not adequately represented by hospital-based research. There is therefore a great need to upskill family physicians and other primary care workers and academics to conduct community-based research to inform best practice. Aimed at emerging researchers including those in developing countries this book also addresses cutting edge and newly developing research methods which will be of equal interest to more experienced researchers. | How To Do Primary Care Research

The Shortcut Why Intelligent Machines Do Not Think Like Us

The Shortcut Why Intelligent Machines Do Not Think Like Us

An influential scientist in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) explains its fundamental concepts and how it is changing culture and society. A particular form of AI is now embedded in our tech our infrastructure and our lives. How did it get there? Where and why should we be concerned? And what should we do now? The Shortcut: Why Intelligent Machines Do Not Think Like Us provides an accessible yet probing exposure of AI in its prevalent form today proposing a new narrative to connect and make sense of events that have happened in the recent tumultuous past and enabling us to think soberly about the road ahead. This book is divided into ten carefully crafted and easily digestible chapters. Each chapter grapples with an important question for AI. Ranging from the scientific concepts that underpin the technology to wider implications for society it develops a unified description using tools from different disciplines and avoiding unnecessary abstractions or words that end with -ism. The book uses real examples wherever possible introducing the reader to the people who have created some of these technologies and to ideas shaping modern society that originate from the technical side of AI. It contains important practical advice about how we should approach AI in the future without promoting exaggerated hypes or fears. Entertaining and disturbing but always thoughtful The Shortcut confronts the hidden logic of AI while preserving a space for human dignity. It is essential reading for anyone with an interest in AI the history of technology and the history of ideas. General readers will come away much more informed about how AI really works today and what we should do next. | The Shortcut Why Intelligent Machines Do Not Think Like Us

A First Course in Logic

A First Course in Logic

A First Course in Logic is an introduction to first-order logic suitable for first and second year mathematicians and computer scientists. There are three components to this course: propositional logic; Boolean algebras; and predicate/first-order logic. Logic is the basis of proofs in mathematics — how do we know what we say is true? — and also of computer science — how do I know this program will do what I think it will? Surprisingly little mathematics is needed to learn and understand logic (this course doesn't involve any calculus). The real mathematical prerequisite is an ability to manipulate symbols: in other words basic algebra. Anyone who can write programs should have this ability.

Cybersecurity for Everyone

Cybersecurity for Everyone

Cyberspace is a critical part of our lives. Although we all use cyberspace for work entertainment and social life much of its infrastructure and operation is invisible to us. We spend a big part of our lives in an environment that is almost an essential service but is full of potential dangers: a place where criminals can commit new kinds of crimes where governments can exert political pressure and where we can be hurt by the unthinking actions of the bored and careless. Making cyberspace more secure is one of the challenges of our times. This is not only (or perhaps even primarily) a technical challenge. It requires actions by governments and businesses to encourage security whenever possible and to make sure that their own actions do not undermine it. Unfortunately many of those in a position to do something about cybersecurity do not have the background to understand the issues fully. Cybersecurity for Everyone will help by describing the issues in a way that is accessible to anyone but especially those from non-technical backgrounds.

Physiology of Marine Mammals Adaptations to the Ocean

Physiology of Marine Mammals Adaptations to the Ocean

Suppose you were designing a marine mammal. What would they need to live in the ocean? How would you keep them warm? What design features would allow them to dive for very long periods to extreme depths? Do they need water to drink? How would they minimize the cost of swimming and how would they find their prey in the deep and dark? These questions and more are examined in detail throughout Marine Mammal Physiology which explores how marine mammals live in the sea from a physiological point of view. This undergraduate textbook considers the essential aspects of what makes a marine mammal different from terrestrial mammals beyond just their environment. It focuses on the physiological and biochemical traits that have allowed this group of mammals to effectively exploit the marine environment that is so hostile to humans. The content of this book is organised around common student questions taking the undergraduate's point of view as the starting point. Each chapter provides a set of PowerPoint slides for instructors to use in teaching and students to use as study guides. New Study Questions and Critical Thinking Points conclude each chapter which are each motivated by a Driving Question such as How do mammals stay warm in a cold ocean? or How do mammals survive the crushing pressures of the deep sea? Full-colour images and comprehensive accessible content make this the definitive textbook for marine mammal physiology. | Physiology of Marine Mammals Adaptations to the Ocean

Effective Ecology Seeking Success in a Hard Science

Effective Ecology Seeking Success in a Hard Science

Ecology is one of the most challenging of sciences with unambiguous knowledge much harder to achieve than it might seem. But it is also one of the most important sciences for the future health of our planet. It is vital that our efforts are as effective as possible at achieving our desired outcomes. This book is intended to help individual ecologists to develop a better vision for their ecology – and the way they can best contribute to science. The central premise is that to advance ecology effectively as a discipline ecologists need to be able to establish conclusive answers to key questions rather than merely proposing plausible explanations for mundane observations. Ecologists need clear and honest understanding of how we have come to do things the way we do them now the limitations of our approaches our goals for the future and how we may need to change our approaches if we are to maintain or enhance our relevance and credibility. Readers are taken through examples to show what a critical appraisal can reveal and how this approach can benefit ecology if it is applied more routinely. Ecological systems are notable for their complexity and their variability. Ecology is as indicated by the title of this book a truly difficult science. Ecologists have achieved a great deal but they can do better. This book aims to encourage early-career researchers to be realistic about their expectations: to question everything not to take everything for granted and to make up their own minds. | Effective Ecology Seeking Success in a Hard Science
