Описание: Voluntary distributed computing projects divide large computational tasks into small pieces of data or work that are sent out over the Internet to be processed by individual users, who participate voluntarily in order to provide solutions that would ordinarily require investments of millions of dollars. This approach is contributing to the transformation of computationally heavy scientific research, opening up participation in science to interested lay people and greatly reducing the cost-barriers to computation for financially challenged researchers. Drawing on face-to-face and online ethnographic, survey and interview data with participants in distributed computing projects around the world, this book sheds light on the organizational and social structures of voluntary distributed computing projects, communities and teams, with close attention to questions of motivation in projects that offer little or no traditional forms of reward, either financially or in terms of participants' careers. With its focus on non-market, non-hierarchical cooperation, this book is a case study of networked individuals around the world who are part of a new social production of information. A rich study of the transformative potential inherent in globalization and connectedness, Community, Competition and Citizen Science will appeal to sociologists and political scientists with interests in globalization, networks and science and technology studies, together with scholars and students of media and communication and those working in relevant fields of computing, information systems and scientific collaboration.

Unit II contains readings related to cognition, including brain development, decision-making, and trauma-informed treatment for adolescents. In Unit III, students read about physical development, wellness, and nutrition. Unit IV focuses on aspects of social-emotional development, including social achievement goals, the school context and relationships, and autism. Unit V highlights risk factors and delinquency, highlighting factors that contribute to delinquency, the relationship between self-esteem and substance abuse, the modern reality of cyberbullying, and more. The final unit examines the American family, the process of coming of age, and obstacles of emerging adulthood. Adolescent Development is an ideal resource for courses in pre-adolescent and adolescent human development, as well as courses in psychology, social work, behavioral sciences, and sociology.

Описание: For decades, the Chinese Rescue Home was a feature of the landscape of Victoria, British Columbia. Originally a refuge for Chinese prostitutes and slave girls rescued from captivity, it became a residence and school where the Methodist Women’s Missionary Society attempted to reform Chinese and Japanese girls and women. They did so, in part, by teaching them domestic skills meant to ease their integration into Western society. This book offers the first in-depth history and analysis of this iconic institution and expands our understanding of the complex interplay between gender, race, and class in BC during this time.
