Human Rights-Based Approach to Short-Term Study Abroad (SpringerBriefs in Rights-Based Approaches to Social Work)
by Karen Rice Heather GirvinShort-term study abroad experiences are on the rise across social work programs. This increase is fueled by the Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards of the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) that social work programs graduate students who are ready to engage diversity and function ethically as global citizens who understand mechanisms of oppression. With the increasing number of short-term study abroad trips, this brief offers a framework that provides strategies for empowering the populations and communities in which these trips occur. Developing short-term study abroad trips from a human rights-based framework rather than a needs-based approach is urgent and necessary, as the community in which the visit will occur is placed at the center of planning efforts and its members become equal and active participants. The brief is accessible and relevant to both instructors and students, with thoughtful emphasis placed in each chapter to align with the needs of each group more distinctly. It is conceived with both travel-based (field education) and classroom learning (pre-trip preparation) in mind. Though developed with more depth, theory, and evidence than a "how-to manual," the brief serves as an exemplary "guide" that prepares those engaging in short-term study abroad trips with information and strategies that are derived from the key concepts of a rights-based approach to field education. Human Rights-Based Approach to Short-Term Study Abroad is essential reading that engages students and faculty with case examples to illuminate the complex concepts that are taught by faculty as well as specific exercises and assignments to guide both faculty and student through the process of developing and implementing short-term study abroad trips. This brief is of immediate relevance for undergraduate and graduate coursework in field education, international social work, human rights, global social work, and macro social work, as well as useful for any practitioner seeking CSWE accreditation.
Hyman's Comparative Vertebrate Anatomy
by Marvalee H. WakeThe purpose of this book, now in its third edition, is to introduce the morphology of vertebrates in a context that emphasizes a comparison of structire and of the function of structural units. The comparative method involves the analysis of the history of structure in both developmental and evolutionary frameworks. The nature of adaptation is the key to this analysis. Adaptation of a species to its environment, as revealed by its structure, function, and reproductive success, is the product of mutation and natural selection–the process of evolution. The evolution of structure and function, then, is the theme of this book which presents, system by system, the evolution of structure and function of vertebrates. Each chapter presents the major evolutionary trends of an organ system, with instructions for laboratory exploration of these trends included so the student can integrate concept with example.

Im Diskurs mit dem Qurʼān: Ein Handlungskonzept zum themenzentrierten Arbeiten anhand der Offenbarungsanlässe (Wiener Beiträge zur Islamforschung)
by Ranja EbrahimDen Schwerpunkt der Forschungsarbeit bildet die Erarbeitung eines pädagogischen Handlungskonzepts, welches in Anlehnung an das ‚Vier-Faktoren-Modell‘ der Themenzentrierten Interaktion (TZI) nach Ruth Cohn und in Zusammenführung mit den qurʼānischen Offenbarungsanlässen generiert ist. Das Hauptziel des Modells ist es, eine barrierefreie Verbindung zwischen den jugendlichen Lebenswelten und dem Qurʼān zu ermöglichen, ohne eine Versiertheit in den Gebieten der qurʼānischen Wissenschaften vorauszusetzen. Jugendliche sollen auf diesem Wege dazu eingeladen werden, qurʼānische Inhalte aus der eigenen Erfahrungswelt aus zu deuten, zu bewerten und einzuordnen und damit aktiv am Fortschritt einer zeit- und ortsgerechten islamischen Theologie und Religionspädagogik zu partizipieren.

Imperial Japan's Higher Civil Service Examinations
by Robert M. Spaulding Jr.From 1868 to 1945 imperial Japan was governed by shifting coalitions of several dissimilar elite groups. In this historical analysis of the examination system that regulated access to the inner civil bureaucracy and shaped its political outlook, Professor Spaulding describes the steps by which Japan came to accept examinations as the key to office. The reasons for this acceptance are discussed by (1) piecing together fragmentary clues from government decrees, official memoirs, and the comparative history of Japanese higher education, political parties, and constitution, and (2) a quantitative analysis of many aspects of the civil service, showing why examinations were instituted, why they were ineffective at first, and how they worked after the system was reformed in 1899.Originally published in 1967.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
Importance of Role Modeling in Educational Settings: A Machine-Generated Literature Overview
by Syeda Shagufta QuadriThis book is the result of a collaboration between a human editor and an artificial intelligence algorithm to create a machine-generated literature overview of research articles analyzing importance of role modeling in Educational Settings. It’s a new publication format in which state-of-the-art computer algorithms are applied to select the most relevant articles published in Springer Nature journals and create machine-generated literature reviews by arranging the selected articles in a topical order and creating short summaries of these articles. This machine-generated literature review presents an overview of role modeling in education across different fields. Delving into various aspects related to the significance of role models in students' lives, this book caters to the interests of both students and educators. The utilization of AI enabled a more comprehensive and in-depth examination of role modeling. Through automated analysis, it provides abundant research-based evidence highlighting the positive impact of role modeling in education settings.
The Importance of Soft Skills in Engineering and Engineering Education
by Edoardo Rovida Giulio ZafferriThis book explores in depth the significance of soft skills within engineering education and the profession of engineering and emphasizes the importance of integrating hard and soft skills effectively, thereby enhancing personal acumen. Among the most important soft skills are ability to communicate, courtesy, creativity, empaty, flexibility, integrity, positivity, problem solving, professionalism, resourcefulness, responsibility, a strong work ethic, and ability to work within a team. While hard skills are related to the left side of the brain and are linked to the intelligence quotient (IQ), soft skills are related to the right side of the brain and are linked to the emotional quotient (EQ). A person who fuses hard and soft skills successfully will be able to upgrade their professional behavior and become a difference maker (DM). Soft skills are of central importance in the context of Engineering 4.0, the new phase of engineering, and in Engineering 4.0 education, and this is the central focus of the book. The presented examples of the role of soft skills will also enable readers to self-evaluate, to identify those skills that require improvement, and ultimately to enhance their performance.
