Explore conversations with queer Latino/x/é library and information professionals across the USA. Now more than ever, libraries are under attack. Many of the challenges to library collections and programs revolve around the LGBTQIA+ experience or narratives. Among those stories are individuals who navigate through the challenges surrounding being a queer person of color or whose lived experiences are identified by intersectionality. This book features conversations between the author and other Latino/x/é library and information professionals of varying identities and intersections. It dives into questions surrounding challenges professionals have faced in entering the field, navigating the workplace, promoting into positions of leadership, defeating imposter syndrome, inherent and internalized homophobia, eliminating hate, and finding balance with their cultural lived experiences and professional settings. Queer Latino/x/é voices still lack representation in the professional and academic space. This text is vital to the continued conversation of equity, diversity, and inclusion in libraries and it is needed now more than ever to amplify the conversations that are not always given the proper attention or consideration in professional spaces.

How statistical invariances will help us build AI systems exhibiting human-like performance by following human-like strategies. Current machine learning systems crumble when the distributions of training and testing examples differ in spurious correlations. This is a major roadblock toward the development of advanced machine intelligence, which demands not only human-like performance but the deployment of human-like strategies. The prevalent approach in AI, fixated on recklessly minimizing average training error, falls short in producing AI systems capable of authentic out-of-distribution generalization. This book introduces the Invariance Principle, a new epistemological tool to unearth correlations invariant across diverse collections of empirical data. The Invariance Principle, encapsulated in the axiom “frame your problem so its answer matches across circumstances," will not only find its practical incarnation in the family of Invariant Risk Minimization algorithms, but also illuminate our understanding of causation. It will permeate topics such as environment discovery, large-language models, self-supervised learning, mixing data augmentation, uncertainty estimation, and fairness. The author argues that the Invariance Principle is a central inductive bias fueling advances across fields of knowledge, such as physics, metaphysics, and cognitive science. The final chapter includes personal examples of how invariance has shaped the author’s understanding of his own subjective experience, as well as how he has interpreted both Eastern and Western philosophical traditions.

In a quiet little city, a war brews between evil forces fighting for control. To prevent global destruction, a team of heroes steps up to face these dark powers, getting unexpected help from an unusual ally from a distant world.

Not My Bike! is more than a story-it''s a call to action for every child, parent, and educator seeking to awaken strength, confidence, and purpose. Based on the real-life journey of martial arts master and youth mentor David "Warrior" López, this book shares the powerful experience of a young boy who stood up for what mattered most to him: his dignity. What began as a childhood struggle against bullying and insecurity led to the discovery of something greater-his inner warrior. This inspiring narrative teaches that true power doesn''t come from fighting others, but from learning self-control, resilience, and emotional strength. Through honest storytelling, David opens the door to vulnerable conversations about fear, self-worth, and the battles young people face in silence. Not My Bike! is not just for kids who train in martial arts-it''s for any young reader who wants to build courage, confidence, and character. It''s also a guide for parents who want to lead with love, presence, and purpose. It emphasizes the importance of physical activity, discipline, and connection between parents and children. With relatable moments, lessons of growth, and empowering messages, this book helps readers of all ages realize that no one has the right to take away your spirit-and that your greatest victories begin when you choose to stand up for yourself and for others. Whether you''re a student, a teacher, a coach, or a parent, this book will inspire you to move, reflect, and lead from within. Because sometimes, the moment you say, "Not my bike!" is the moment your true journey begins.

This paper reports the direct and spillover effects of a campaign with a normative based report on residential water use in Colombia. The experimental design introduces an exogenous variation in the percentage of households receiving reports within a water utility, leaving households without reports but affected by the diffusion of information. The randomization is at two levels. First, assigning saturation percentages across water utilities and second, the treatment status across households conditional to that saturation. Findings show that accounting for spillovers leads to a higher impact of social norm campaigns than previous interventions. In addition, shorter periods between reports remind households to act pro-environmentally. Households receiving feedback every 30 days show a significant impact than every 60 in both treatment units. This paper emphasizes using social norm-based as an effective tool in promoting socially desirable pro-environmental behaviors and addressing spillovers to diffuse behavioral changes. In particular, in small urban settings with high social capital levels or during weather shocks that could affect water supply.

Essay aus dem Jahr 2022 im Fachbereich BWL - Controlling, Note: 1,3, FOM Essen, Hochschule für Oekonomie & Management gemeinnützige GmbH, Hochschulleitung Essen früher Fachhochschule, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Nach bisherigem Verständnis ließ sich das betriebliche Rechnungswesen grob in internes und externes Rechnungswesen aufteilen. So zumindest der Stand der Forschung und Lehre bis weit in die 2010er Jahre hinein. Seit einiger Zeit ist jedoch zu beobachten, dass sich die Trennlinie zwischen internem und externem Rechnungswesen zunehmend verschiebt. So werden im Controlling beispielsweise zur Bewertung diverser Sachverhalte sowie für das Managementreporting nun häufiger auch Zahlen herangezogen, die vorher vornehmlich in Geschäftsberichten veröffentlicht worden sind. Aus der Verschmelzung ist der Begriff „Biltrolling“ (eine Wortschöpfung aus Bilanzbuchhalter und Controller) entstanden und mittlerweile zu einem vollständigen Berufsbild gewachsen, wenn auch bisher eher in kleinen bzw. mittelständischen Unternehmen. Die zunehmende Digitalisierung scheint, neben weiteren Treibern, die Konvergenz der beiden Zweige des Rechnungswesens zusätzlich zu beschleunigen. Um welche Treiber es sich im Einzelnen handelt, soll in den folgenden Kapiteln näher beleuchtet werden. Dazu wird ein Blick darauf geworfen, wie sich die Aufgaben, Zuständigkeiten und Adressaten von internem und externem Rechnungswesen unterscheiden und auf welchen Regelungen oder Vorschriften sie fußen. Anschließend wird die Konvergenz anhand von Beispielen erläutert, um sie im Fazit schlussendlich kritisch einzuordnen.

1963 – De Gaulle rejette le Royaume-Uni du Marché Unique, Jacques Anquetil gagne son quatrième Tour de France, la durée du service militaire est ramenée à 16 mois, le premier « hypermarché » sort de terre et... la SOCOMEC est créée à La Souterraine, dans la Creuse. 57 ans et une dizaine de repreneurs et de redressements judiciaires plus tard, La Souterraine Industrie (LSI, dernier nom de ce site industriel) ne compte plus que 120 employés, soit près de 4 fois moins que dans les années 1980. A travers les voix de cinq personnages hauts en couleur, leaders de la lutte connus sous le nom « L’Agence tout risque », il nous raconte les combats, les succès et les échecs de ces hommes qui se sont battus pour maintenir sur les rails un bastion industriel qui n’en finit plus d’être sur le point de disparaître.

“It Started With A Beeper”, will take you through the ups and downs of the entrepreneur journey of David Lopez, Jr. as he recalls it. A good lighthearted book for anyone wanting to read the real-life experiences of a business owner and potentially come away with a few laughs and life lessons.

Quelque part entre la banlieue et la campagne, là où leurs parents ont eux-mêmes grandi, Jonas et ses amis tuent le temps. Ils fument, ils jouent aux cartes, ils font pousser de l''herbe dans le jardin, et quand ils sortent, c''est pour constater ce qui les éloigne des autres. Dans cet univers à cheval entre deux mondes, où tout semble voué à la répétition du même, leur fief, c''est le langage, son usage et son accès, qu''il soit porté par Lahuiss quand il interprète le Candide de Voltaire et explique aux autres comment parler aux filles pour les séduire, par Poto quand il rappe ou invective ses amis, par Ixe et ses sublimes fautes d''orthographe. Ce qui est en jeu, c''est la montée progressive d''une poésie de l''existence dans un monde sans horizon. Au fil de ce roman écrit au cordeau, une gravité se dégage, une beauté qu''on extirpe du tragique ordinaire, à travers une voix neuve, celle de l''auteur de Fief. David Lopez a trente ans. Fief est son premier roman.

In recent years, the Federal Reserve has made substantial changes to its framework for monetary policymaking by providing greater clarity regarding its objectives, its intentions regarding the use of monetary policy--including nontraditional policy tools such as forward guidance and asset purchases--in the pursuit of those objectives, and its broader policy strategy. These changes reflected both a response to changes in economists'' understanding of the most effective way to implement monetary policy and a response to specific challenges posed by the financial crisis and its aftermath, particularly the effective lower bound on nominal interest rates. We trace the recent evolution of the Federal Reserve''s framework, and use a small-scale macro model and a simple static model to help illuminate the approaches taken with nontraditional monetary policy tools. A number of foreign central banks have made similar innovations in response to similar developments. On balance, the Federal Reserve has moved closer to "flexible inflation targeting," but the Federal Reserve''s approach includes a balanced focus on two objectives and the use of a flexible horizon over which policy aims to foster those objectives. Going forward, further changes in central banks'' frameworks may be needed to address issues raised by the financial crisis. For example, some have suggested that the sustained period at the effective lower bound points to the need for central banks to establish a different policy objective, such as a higher inflation target or a nominal income target. We use our small-scale model of the U.S. economy to examine the potential benefits and costs of such changes. We also discuss the broad issue of how central banks should integrate financial stability policy and monetary policy.

Continuous flow non-thermal plasma reactors are being investigated for their ability to efficiently produce high quality nanoparticles. While many nanomaterials can be produced via continuous flow non-thermal plasma reactors, silicon is of particular interest, due to its abundance and relevance in many energy related fields. Significant gaps still exist in the understanding of the kinetics responsible for particle growth, structural evolution, and surface termination of continuous flow non-thermal plasma reactor produced particles. Particle interaction with plasma radicals results in the heating of the particles, which in turn affects the kinetics of particle growth, structural evolution, and surface termination during synthesis and processing. We have investigated the details of plasma-nanoparticle interaction by using in-flight and in-situ characterization techniques. For the first time, we have measured the temperature of a free-standing particle immersed in a non-equilibrium processing plasma.

Los autores de este libro y sus colaboradores, han estudiado en forma sistematica los tratamientos del trastorno limite de la personalidad y de sus comorbilidades (depresion mayor, trastorno bipolar, trastornos de ansiedad, abuso y dependencia de alcohol, anorexia y bulimia) desde 1993. Estos esfuerzos han sido auspiciados y financiados por la Asociacion Psicoanalitica Mexicana, la Asociacion Psicoanalitica Internacional y el CONACYT. El tipo de tratamiento que mas han investigado los autores es la Psicoterapia Focalizada en la Transferencia (PFT) de Kernberg y colaboradores. Los productos de esas investigaciones se reportaron en dos articulos aparecidos en la revista Salud Mental (Cuevas y cols., 2000; Lopez y cols., 2004) y en un libro "Psicoterapia Focalizada en la Transferencia para Pacientes Limitrofes" (Lopez D, Edamex, 2004). En este libro los autores presentan una revision, basada en evidencias, no solo de los resultados de la aplicacion de la Psicoterapia Focalizada en la Transferencia (PFT), sino tambien de otras formas de tratamiento, como la Terapia Dialectico Conductual (TDC) de Linehan (1991), la Terapia Basada en la Mentalizacion (TBM), de Bateman y Fonagy (2004), los psicofarmacos, la meditacion, el adiestramiento en habilidades sociales y el uso de complementos alimenticios, como el acido graso Omega 3. Una de las conclusiones de la revision de los tratamientos para el trastorno limite de la personalidad es que existen suficientes recursos terapeuticos para tratar este dificil trastorno y que estos recursos pueden utilizarse en forma complementaria e integrada en beneficio de la paciente y de los equipos de tratamiento. Los resumenes que se presentan en el libro acerca de las psicoterapias efectivas para el trastorno limite de la personalidad (PFT, TDC y TBM), asi como de los medicamentos y terapias auxiliares pueden ser una guia para iniciar la capacitacion de los equipos de tratamiento encargados de atender a estas pacientes.
