For courses in Java Programming Layered, Back-to-Basics Approach to Java Programming This edition of Building Java Programs: A Back to Basics Approach uses a layered strategy to introduce Java programming and overcome the high failure rates that are common in introductory computer science courses. The authors' proven and class-tested "back to basics" approach introduces programming fundamentals first, with new syntax and concepts added over multiple chapters. Object-oriented programming is discussed only once students have developed a basic understanding of Java programming. Previous editions have established the text's reputation as an excellent choice for two-course sequences in introductory computer science, and new material in the 4th Edition incorporates concepts related to Java 8, functional programming, and image manipulation.

This book discusses the pervasiveness of violence against women (VAW) in India and traces its evolution as a public health concern. It highlights the fundamental relationship between health and violence and identifies institutional gaps, which hinder comprehensive healthcare and support to VAW survivors. The volume brings together in-depth case studies from various states and civil society organisations on their initiatives to help bring adequate support and health services to women affected by VAW. These include engagement with hospitals to increase awareness and sensitivity among health service providers and community-run health clinics for marginalised women. The book documents the mobilising efforts of feminists, community-based organisations, state institutions, and CSOs in developing comprehensive healthcare responses and bringing violence against women into the public health discourse. It provides insights into the lack of guidelines for responding to sexual violence in medical and nursing education, and the way that the police and the justice system function in India. This book will be of interest to public health professionals, and students and researchers in public health, gender studies, social work, and sociology. It will also be useful for policymakers and for professionals working for thinktanks or CSOs working on developing health system responses to VAW.

This book offers a comprehensive analysis of the application level for various agricultural biotechnologies across Sub-Saharan Africa. The authors examine the capacity available as well as the enabling environment, including policy and investments, for facilitating agricultural biotechnology development and use in the region. For each Sub-Saharan country, the status of biotechnology application is assessed in four major sectors; Crops, Livestock, Forestry and Aquaculture. Examples such as the number and requisite skill levels of trained personnel, biosafety frameworks and public awareness are surfaced in these chapters. This work also discusses the impact of push-pull factors on research, training and food security and identifies opportunities for investment in biotechnology and local agribusiness. Development partners, policy makers, agricultural consultants as well as scientists and private sector investors with an interest in biotechnology initiatives in Sub-Saharan Africa will find this collection an important account to identify key gaps in capacity and policy, as well as priority areas going forward. The volume highlights ways to develop technology and increase agricultural production capacity through international cooperation and inclusive economic growth, making it a valuable practice guide in line with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, in particular SDG 2 Zero Hunger and SDG 8 Decent Work and Economic Growth. Clear case studies round off the reading experience.

This book documents the journey of the survivors of sexual violence as they navigate the gruelling criminal justice and health care systems and the stigma and hostility in their communities in the aftermath of the incident. Through personal narratives of survivors and their family members, the book examines critical gaps in the existing networks of criminal procedure, health, and rehabilitation for survivors of sexual violence and rape. Using qualitative research, it distills the narratives gathered through interviews with survivors and their family members to understand their experiences and offers.

Colonial Karma tracks the Indian English novel from its colonial origins to the present, each chapter focusing on a particular historical moment. Linking the novel's development with that of Indian cultural nationalism, it argues that nationalism seeks to solve the problem of action for its middle class subject by redefining the Bhagavad Gita's concept of karma for political purposes. Two figures serve to exemplify this problem: Arjuna in the Bhagavad Gita and Saleem in Midnight's Children. After considering influential early novels in Indian languages, Colonial Karma discusses novels in English by Narayan, Anand, Rao, Anita Desai, Salman Rushdie, Shashi Deshpande and Githa Hariharan.

Mainstream counselling in domestic violence often fails to address critical issues, such as gender socialisation processes and the abuse of power that allows violence against women, and focuses primarily on the intra-psychic nature of individual women. In contrast, feminist counselling is an effective alternative model, owing to its ability to address the fundamental correlation of abuse with power. In going beyond the individual, it helps women locate the source of their distress in the larger social context of power and control, manifesting in intimate, interpersonal relationships, and enables them to resist systemic oppression. This volume offers one of the first systematic documentations of feminist psychosocial interventions in India. It situates the issue of domestic violence in the historical context of the women's movement, and examines institutional factors such as family and marriage that perpetuate abuse. Using extensive case studies, it discusses the methods, principles, techniques, skills and procedures followed by feminist organisations across the country, and their role in women's empowerment. The book will serve as a practical reference guide to practitioners such as social workers, counsellors and para-counsellors, health activists, grassroots workers, protection officers and service providers. It will also be useful to scholars and students of psychology, sociology, women's studies, law and public policy.

The accurate interpretation of infrared spectra of organic structures is an extremely important tool for the analytical chemist. Using up-to-date source material, this volume presents a compilation of the infrared absorption regions of ninety of the most important organic molecular fragments. This highly practical guide introduces the reader to a straightforward technique for determining all the fundamental vibrations of a molecular fragment. The set of normal vibrations and the infrared absorption regions of ninety molecular fragments are then discussed and tabulated. The discussion of each fragment is accompanied by a large number of references. A Guide to the Complete Interpretation of Infrared Spectra of Organic Structures offers the analytical chemist the possibility of a more profound interpretation of infrared spectra. In addition, it assumes only a basic knowledge of infrared spectra, and so will prove very useful for non-specialists who use infrared spectroscopy in analysis.

This title was first published in 2003. India's tax revenues depend on manufacturing while agriculture and services generate employment. WTO's Uruguay and Doha rounds imply large tariff cuts. This affects the competitiveness of the Indian manufacturing sector and has implications for government deficits. Excessive dependence on indirect taxes and subsidies to regulate markets introduces distortions and is incompatible with free market principles. The book analyses welfare implications of fiscal and trade policies for India. To put the results in perspective, developments in trade theory, public finance and Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) modelling are covered. Theoretical results are juxtaposed with empirical findings from these models. Methodology to construct CGE models is also covered. The trade model covers tariff cuts under various assumptions besides incorporating "new trade theory". As tax reforms and tariff cuts are independent, past tax reforms like MODVAT (MODified VAT) and proposed reforms like VAT, elimination/reduction of subsidies are covered using a separate tax model.

Ce livre, en etudiant plus de 200 plans et traites d'education francais des XVIIIe-XIXe siecles, montre toute l'importance de la pensee de Rousseau qui est utilisee ou rejetee afin de concevoir une societe nouvelle et une reforme du systeme educatif. Ces transformations ne pouvaient passer que par l'edification d'une education commune adaptee aux nouveaux enjeux issus de la Revolution et indispensables pour transformer et moderniser la societe. En enoncant un certain nombre de principes et de valeurs, en se positionnant pour une reorganisation educative, les auteurs de ces projets contribuent a edifier, des le XVIIIe siecle, les premiers fondements de l'ecole republicaine. Un certain nombre de questions posees, sur l'enfance et la jeunesse, sur l'utilisation des sens, sur la formation des maitres, sur l'universite, sur le role de l'Eglise et la place de la laicite, sont tres contemporaines et se trouvent mises en valeur par de tres belles citations a decouvrir ou redecouvrir.

Cet ouvrage etudie l'Education nouvelle dans ses dimensions scientifiques et militantes. Porte par des praticiens convaincus qu'une reforme de l'ecole pourra transformer le monde, le mouvement attire aussi des scientifiques persuades que la science a un role a jouer dans la quete d'une harmonie entre les hommes. Tous se rejoignent dans la volonte de construire une education basee sur une connaissance scientifique de l'enfant: selon eux, la pedagogie ne doit plus etre un art mais une science. Ce livre s'interesse a la relation qu'entretiennent ici la science et la militance: quelle est la part de l'une et l'autre dans les revendications de l'Education nouvelle ? Comment le discours scientifique se mele-t-il au discours militant ? Qui sont les acteurs engages dans le mouvement et comment concilient-ils ces deux facettes dans leur activite ? Dans une demarche d'histoire sociale, cet ouvrage puise ses apports dans la lecture fine d'une revue emblematique du mouvement, organe de la Ligue internationale pour l'Education nouvelle. Il etudie les questions en debat telles que les methodes d'enseignement, le role du maitre, la place des savoirs scolaires ou la liberte en education. Ce livre attache une importance particuliere aux acteurs engages pour cette cause et s'interesse a leurs profils, reseaux et activites aux niveaux local et international.

Cet ouvrage traite de pratiques d'enseignement musical en milieu scolaire ordinaire. Des pratiques qui s'inscrivent dans une collaboration entre institutions culturelles et enseignement public. L'auteur analyse la construction d'une expertise d'ecoute musicale chez des eleves de l'enseignement public. Comment des enseignants s'y prennent-ils pour " preparer " une classe a un concert donne ? Quels sont les contenus d'enseignement dans le cadre d'une activite de reception culturelle en ecoute musicale ? Quels sont les gestes professionnels accomplis par l'enseignant et comment la mediation culturelle fait-elle sens pour les acteurs de la relation didactique ? Quelles sont enfin les caracteristiques du contrat didactique dans ce type de relation et ce contexte ? Une analyse didactique et une approche ethnographique des pratiques d'enseignement observees tentent ici de degager certaines specificites de ces situations tres particulieres d'ecoute en milieu scolaire. Une contribution susceptible d'interesser aussi bien les enseignants, les mediateurs culturels que les formateurs d'enseignants.

Les pratiques de lecture des eleves ont fait l'objet de recherches de grande ampleur. Mais que sait-on des pratiques d'enseignement ? Qu'est-ce qui se construit lorsque des enseignants et des eleves abordent un texte en classe ? Cet objet varie-t-il en fonction des textes ? De leur longueur ? De leur statut ? L'auteur a mene une recherche avec des enseignants qui ont etudie Candide de Voltaire et La fee Carabine de Pennac avec leurs eleves de 16 ans. Comment les enseignants s'y sont-ils pris dans cette entreprise complexe? Comment ont-ils assure les liens entre les lectures realisees a la maison et le travail en classe ? Certes, chaque enseignant s'y prend differemment. Mais un phenomene commun apparait: le recours a des genres d'activite scolaire pour apprehender differentes facettes des textes litteraires et assurer les liens entre le commentaire de texte et les lectures des eleves. Le chercheur trouvera dans cet ouvrage une demarche d'analyse systematique des interactions didactiques. L'enseignant y decouvrira des modeles d'activites qui lui permettront de mieux comprendre ses pratiques et l'inspireront dans la conception d'activites futures.
