Games have become popular tools to enhance learning in both educational and business environments. Analyzing the link between games and their results on students can help provide advances for learning initiatives in the future. Enhancing Education and Training Initiatives Through Serious Games is an essential reference source that examines the impact that games and simulations have within different learning environments. Featuring in-depth discussions on relevant topics including self-reporting surveys, project management techniques, academic training, and game design, this publication is an ideal resource for academicians, students, business owners, and professionals that are interested in discovering the advances of serious gaming techniques.

Today, virtually any advance in the life sciences requires a sophisticated mathematical approach. The methods of mathematics and computer science have emerged as critical tools to modeling biological phenomena, understanding patterns, and making sense of large data sets, such as those generated by the human genome project. An Invitation to Biomathematics provides a comprehensive, yet easily digested entry into the diverse world of mathematical biology--the union of biology, mathematics, and computer science.
This textbook, expertly written by a team of experienced educators, is divided into two parts. The first section presents core principles as elucidated by classical problems such as population growth, predator-prey interactions, epidemic models, and population genetics, while the second applies these principles to modern biomedical research. In addition, the supplementary work Laboratory Manual of Biomathematics (available separately) is designed to enable hands-on exploration of model development, model validation, and model refinement.
* Provides a complete guide for development of quantification skills crucial for applying mathematical methods to biological problems.
* Includes well-known examples from across disciplines in the life sciences including modern biomedical research.
* Explains how to use data sets or dynamical processes to build mathematical models.
* Offers extensive illustrative materials.
* Written in clear and easy-to-follow language without assuming a background in math or biology.
* A laboratory manual is available for hands-on, computer-assisted projects based on material covered in the text.

Why would anyone want to kill a Miracle Worker? One that has power with The Lord God Almighty to heal the sick, cause the lame to walk, raise the dead, and lift poverty stricken people to prosperity.Well, the answer may well be in one fact which is "TRUTH." There are many things that are called true. If someone said that the sky was blue, that would be true. But that is not "The Truth" that has caused apostles, prophets, and other preachers of righteousness to suffer persecution, imprisonment and death throughout the ages. The truth that I refer to causes people to have to see everything God's way. But as the human race grows worse and worse, the truth is the more unwelcome in every facet of today's society. God has ordained me a preacher of His truth to the world at this time. That calling has caused me to be hated as though I were an assassin. The real preaching of the gospel does not get the applauses as do smooth ear candy preaching, not even by most of today's church folk. They have resolved themselves to some denominational preaching that soothes them in their sins. And when Truth enters their arenas it goes against all that they have set before themselves, that is when the fireworks get started. It is self-righteous demons that cause men and women to fight against the truth. Some of the demons cause people to think that they are right because they are rich or because they are grown. Others have demons that cause them to believe that all that they will ever need is within themselves. But I have a mandate from the Lord to speak Truth to America and the world so that some will be saved in this life, and have eternal life in the world to come. While others will stand before thejudgment seat of Christ and of God without excuse. Bishop Roy Lee Davis

This book examines both the need for sustainable economics and the financial practices that will underpin it. The link between rising inequality and the threat to social sustainability is highlighted to create the Economic Scale of Global Boundaries model, which realigns GDP to include quantifiable environmental and social economic gains and losses. The model is applied at both the national and company level to show its practical application for policy and everyday business practice. The impacts of inequality, declining economic growth and the impending deadlines of the Sustainable Development Goals are also discussed in detail. This book aims to highlight how principles of the circular economy and ESG can be utilized to help meet net zero targets. It will be relevant to students, researchers, organizations, and policymakers interested in environmental economics and sustainability and is written to provoke predictive thinking on the global changes ahead.

Focusing on issues of empathy and mutuality, and self and other, as experienced in the everyday challenges of doing participant-observation fieldwork, this volume makes a significant contribution to rethinking the experiential and conceptual construction of the field. The contributors adopt a critical and self reflexive approach that goes beyond issues of voice and representation raised by early postmodern anthropology, to grapple with issues concerning the nature of knowledge transmission that lie at the very heart of the ethnographic effort. They explore how multiple modes of attending, awareness and sense making can shape the ethnographic process. Of note are those unanticipated, less palpable forms of communication that are peripheral to or transcend more formalized and structured research methods and agendas. Among these are empathy, intuition, somatic modes of attention and/or embodied knowledge and identification, as well as, shared sensory experiences and aesthetics. By the elaboration of such concepts the volume as a whole offers a substantial elaboration of a phenomenological approach.

"Twins Talk ...is a valuable and much needed contribution to scholarly work on twins. It suggests intriguing new directions for anthropological research on a topic that has been predominantly explored from biomedical and psychological perspectives...With this book, Davis gives a compelling demonstration of the value of studying twins as twins, and shows that twins' life stories-not just their genomes-are rich with meaning and worthy of analysis." -Medical Anthropology QuarterlyTwins Talk is an ethnographic study of identical twins in the United States, a study unique in that it considers what twins have to say about themselves, instead of what researchers have written about them. It presents, in the first person, the grounded and practical experiences of twins as they engage, both individually and together, the "who am I" and "who are we" questions of life. Here, the twins themselves are the stars. Dona Lee Davis conducted conversational interviews with twenty-two sets of identical twins attending the Twins Days Festival in Twinsburg, Ohio, the largest such gathering in the world. Lively and often opinionated, each twin comes through as a whole person who at the same time maintains a special bond that the vast majority of people will never experience. The study provides a distinctive and enlightening insider's challenge to the nature/nurture debates that dominate contemporary research on twins. The author, herself an identical twin, draws on aspects of her own life to inform her analysis of the data throughout the text. Each chapter addresses a different theme from multiple viewpoints, including those of popular science writers, scientific researchers, and singletons, as well as those of the twins themselves.
