description: Often the lessons to be learned from recipients of care are overshadowed by more formal learning strategies. Ed’s story is one of compassion, strength, laughter, loyalty and loss. It chronicles the journey of caring for a loved one diagnosed with Dementia with Lewy Bodies. Unfortunately, diagnosis of any form of dementia is more frequent in our communities than many of us are aware. Very few people, however, journal their story as their lives, and that of those around them, change. Thus, the richness of learning from recipients of formal care and support is a unique opportunity for all health professionals working in dementia care. Further, the raw, honest insights in Ed’s story are a valuable learning tool for any health professional from any discipline, particularly those who are still learning their craft. Sometimes the impact our words and actions have on patients and families is not apparent, and Ed’s reflections allow us a glimpse into how the actions and words affect them, both positively and negatively.

Front of the House Allergy Protocols

keywords: Educational: Hospitality, catering, leisure and tourism

keywords: Hospitality, sports, leisure and tourism industries

description:
In 2021, Asthma and Allergy Foundation of American estimated that 2o million people in the US have one or more food allergies., most of which are adults. These 16 million people are potential customers for the restaurant industry. It is our responsibility to serve them safe food, but first we have to find a way to capture them and encourage them to take the risk by eating in a restaurant. Not only are people with food allergies at risk from the foods prepared in a restaurant but also the risk of cross contact as their food is being prepared or processed and served. It should never be assumed that cross contact is done intentionally, however, things do happen and managers and employees need to know how to react in any given situation.

This book will outline basic food allergy information, different training strategies and service sets that can be easily implemented into any size dining room to help minimize or eliminate cross contact and allergic reactions. In addition, it will have the steps necessary to initiate in case there a guest or employee has an allergic reaction while in the restaurant.

It is my hope that the reader/manager is able to take the information in the book and customize a plan that will truly fit their operation and that allergy training becomes an integral part of all new hire onboarding.

Gendered Lives

description:
A gender studies textbook that takes an anthropological approach.

Gendered Lives takes a regional approach to examine gender issues from an anthropological perspective with a focus on globalization and intersectionality. Chapters present contributors’ ethnographic research, contextualizing their findings within four geographic regions: Latin America, the Caribbean, South Asia, and the Global North. Each regional section begins with an overview of the broader historical, social, and gendered contexts, which situate the regions within larger global linkages. These introductions also feature short project/people profiles that highlight the work of community leaders or non-governmental organizations active in gender-related issues. Each research-based chapter begins with a chapter overview and learning objectives and closes with discussion questions and resources for further exploration. This modular, regional approach allows instructors to select the regions and cases they want to use in their courses. While they can be used separately, the chapters are connected through the book’s central themes of globalization and intersectionality.

Each chapter begins and ends with a case study related to the chapter topic. The text employs clear writing, case studies for each chapter, interactive self-marking study activities, highlights of Indigenous knowledge and examples, pop-up glossary, and links to resources for extending learning. Images are meant to be inclusive and were chosen with equity/diversity/inclusion in mind.

description:
Good researchers have a host of tools at their disposal that make navigating today’s complex information ecosystem much more manageable. Gaining the knowledge, abilities, and self-reflection necessary to be a good researcher helps not only in academic settings, but is invaluable in any career, and throughout one’s life. The Information Literacy User’s Guide will start you on this route to success.

The Information Literacy User’s Guide is based on two current models in information literacy: The 2011 version of The Seven Pillars Model, developed by the Society of College, National and University Libraries in the United Kingdom1 and the conception of information literacy as a metaliteracy, a model developed by one of this book’s authors in conjunction with Thomas Mackey, Dean of the Center for Distance Learning at SUNY Empire State College.2 These core foundations ensure that the material will be relevant to today’s students.

The Information Literacy User’s Guide introduces students to critical concepts of information literacy as defined for the information-infused and technology-rich environment in which they find themselves. This book helps students examine their roles as information creators and sharers and enables them to more effectively deploy related skills. This textbook includes relatable case studies and scenarios, many hands-on exercises, and interactive quizzes.

Mastering Strategic Management

name: [Author removed at request of original publisher]

description:
Teaching the strategic management course can be a challenge for many professors. In most business schools, strategic management is a “capstone” course that requires students to draw on insights from various functional courses they have completed (such as marketing, finance, and accounting) in order to understand how top executives make the strategic decisions that drive whether organizations succeed or fail. Although students have taken these functional courses, many students have very little experience with major organizational choices. It is this inexperience that can undermine many students’ engagement in the course.

Mastering Strategic Management is designed to enhance student engagement in three innovative ways. .

  1. The first is through visual adaptations of the key content in the book. It is well documented that many of today’s students are visual learners. To meet students’ wants and needs (and thereby create a much better teaching experience for professors), Mastering Strategic Management contains multiple graphic concept pages in ever section of every chapter of the book. Think of graphic concept pages as almost like info-graphics for key concepts in each section. This feature sets Mastering Strategic Management apart from any strategic management book on the market today. .
  2. The second way the authors capture student interest through their textbook is by using a real-world company as the running example in each chapter. For example, Chapter 1 in Mastering Strategic Management utilizes Apple to harness the conceptual coverage of the chapter in a running, corporate, application to which students will relate. .
  3. The third inventive way Mastering Strategic Management holds the attention of strategic management students is through the “strategy at the movies” feature in each chapter that links course concepts with a popular motion picture. In Chapter 1, for example, the authors describe how “The Social Network” illustrates intended, emergent, and realized strategies. .

You can expect Mastering Strategic Management to cover all of the traditional topics that standard strategic management texts cover, but in an exciting way that will assist you in engaging your students in your course. See for yourself by checking out the book online today. .

description: Open education is at a critical juncture. It has moved on from its northern roots and is increasingly being challenged from its own periphery. At the same time, it finds itself marginalised and under threat in an educational sector infiltrated by corporate interests. However, rather than bunkering down, becoming blinkered or even complacent, the editors of this volume believe that the voices from the periphery should be amplified. This book represents a starting point towards curating and centering marginal voices and non-dominant epistemic stances in open education, an attempt at critical pluriversalism. It is a curated collection of 38 blog posts, lectures, talks, articles, and other informal works contributed by 43 diverse authors/co-authors and published since 2013. Each of these contributions offers a perspective on open education that can be considered marginal and that challenges the dominant hegemony.

Patterns for Beginning Programmers

uk: Комп'ютерні науки

description:
Patterns can be used to teach problem solving at various levels of abstraction (which are inversely related to the level of detail). Programming patterns are solutions to problems that require the creation of a small fragment of code that will be part of a larger program. Hence, this book is about teaching you how to write such fragments of code. However, it is not about teaching you the of the statements in the fragments, it assumes that you already know the syntax. Though the syntax of a particular programming language can be confusing at first, it is, actually, fairly easy to learn and, given a solution to a problem, it is fairly easy to write the code that implements it. It’s much more difficult to come up with the solution, and that’s what this book will teach you to do.
After you finish reading this book you will have a library of solutions that you can use, and an understanding of how to add to that library.

Smart Grids

description: A smart grid is a range of technologies that allow for more complex interactions between the utility and consumer. Some of these interactions include better monitoring of energy generation, transmission, and usage so that a utility can better predict demand, pin point outages, and serve its customers. A smart grid allows for better integration of consumer generated power such as solar panels or turbines. In addition, a smart grid could result in lower utlity rates for customers through automating electical demand such as controlling charging car batteris when utility usage is low.

description:
This workbook is designed for first or second-year sociology of gender or gender studies courses, focusing on the Canadian context. It is divided into five topics - Theory and Concepts, Institutions, Work, Family and Intimate Relationships, and Bodies and Health.

This workbook does not replace a textbook, instructor teachings through lectures, class discussion, class assignments, or other standard undergraduate course materials. Instead, this is an activity book: a course companion, working alongside and with those course materials. It is designed to build competency, capacity, and confidence with course materials, concepts, and arguments. It does this by embracing the concepts of embodied learning, iterative scaffolding, and reflexive insight. "Embodied" means doing things with your body and not just your mind; "scaffolding" means breaking things down into constituent parts that can be gathered together to build something bigger; and "reflexive" means thinking about oneself in relation to broad concepts and contexts around us. The workbook presents four types of content.

  1. Each chapter has one or two pages of written content deemed "Insights to Think About," which are summative guides to help students grab onto big ideas.
  2. The chapters also have "Words to Try," encouraging a usable lexicon.
  3. Chapters have thoughtfully designed "Activities." The activities help students to get ideas down, give those ideas meaning and order, and prepare students to do more engaged work in course conversations and higher-stakes assignments.
  4. Finally, each section ends with "My Insights On," where students can record their "big picture" ideas and things they want to explore more in their course discussions and other assignments.

description: Welcome to our Intermediate Canadian Tax textbook! In the Spring of 2019 we started a project to create a free tax textbook (for my introductory tax class) harnessing the brainpower of undergraduate tax students at Kwantlen Polytechnic University (“KPU”) in British Columbia.  We decided to do this for the following reasons: Textbooks are expensive. This one is free! Most information on Canadian tax issues is readily available online and we felt students could access, summarize and synthesize that information. We wanted to have our students create something of ‘value’ rather than a ‘disposable’ assignment that would be discarded after it was assessed.

Interculturalizing the Curriculum

uk: Педагогічні науки

description:
Interculturalizing the Curriculum is the third in a series of educator development resources on interculturality. Developed for the KPU Intercultural Teaching Program, this short book engages educators in two main strands of interculturalizing the curriculum:

  1. Revising curriculum to reflect intercultural learning outcomes, and diverse content from multiple perspectives, and
  2. Supporting student interculturality development.

In the first chapters of the book, we explore the process of interculturalization. First, the process is placed within its theoretical context(s) with an exploration of the streams of thought that contribute to understandings of how education can support equity and social justice. From there, Leask's (2013, 2015) model of curriculum internationalization informs the process of considering how our curriculum currently reflects diverse knowledge sources and ways of knowing, and envisioning what changes might be desired.

The second part of this resource focuses on student interculturality development. One of the overarching goals of interculturalizing the curriculum is providing a means by which our students understand their identities, learn to engage with multiple perspectives, relate effectively with classmates, and prepare to advocate for social change. These chapters discuss how student interculturality development can be integrated into the curriculum and assessed, as well as how educators can support the complex and challenging classroom conversations that arise from an interculturalized curriculum.

Welcome to the journey of exploring what might be possible in our curriculum and classrooms.

Instructors and international students often face misunderstandings caused by different implicit expectations about education and learning. These implicit expectations are shaped by past educational experiences in varied cultural contexts. This multimedia resource introduces you to the lived experiences of five international students at KPU. In a series of videos, students share about the following topics:

  * Expectations about assignments
  * Classroom experiences in their home countries
  * Understandings about plagiarism
  * Surprises in the transition to the Canadian education system
  * Forming relationships with instructors, and
  * Using English in the classroom

By listening to these students' experiences, you will come to better understand the challenges experienced by students transitioning to Canada. This will equip you to make the implicit expectations of the Canadian post-secondary system explicit to your students, enabling more successful learning for all.

Lorrain’s Logbook: Notes from a Missionary in Mizoram, Northeast India (1891-1936) expands the archive for students of Northeast India. Authored by James Herbert Lorrain (Pu Buanga)—one of the most significant missionaries and linguists to operate in the colonial Indo-Burma borderlands—the Logbook is a record of personal observations across decades, from Lorrain’s arrival in Bengal in 1890 to his departure in 1932 from the Lushai Hills District (today: Mizoram). It contains vivid descriptions relevant to a wide range of historical fields—from labour, climate, and clothing to linguistics, animals, and economics—while showcasing how diverse local peoples navigated complex processes of colonial modernity as knowledge brokers, translators, performers, converts, experimenters, resisters, and dreamers.

This entirely new digital transcription and text-searchable online educational resource (OER) unlocks a vital archival source for researchers of imperial frontiers, Asian borderlands, missionization, Mizo history, and beyond. It features an introduction co-authored by Dr. Kyle Jackson (Kwantlen Polytechnic University) and Prof. Joy L. K. Pachuau (Jawaharlal Nehru University).

Organic Chemistry I

description:
Due to the high price barrier, about half of Organic Chemistry students at KPU do not have access to the textbook. This has become a serious issue that significantly affects the learning outcomes for the course. The creation of this open textbook is intended to provide a solution to this problem and help students get success in this course.

The book contains ten chapters, with the contents cover from the basic concepts on chemical bonding, functional group, to stereochemistry, spectroscopy for structure determination (IR and NMR) and organic reactions (nucleophilic substitution, elimination, radical substitution of alkanes, addition and oxidation reactions of alkenes, preparation and reactions of alkynes).

Organic Chemistry is a challenging subject for lots students. To help readers understand the concepts more easily, simple and concise languages are intentionally applied in the book. The featured shaded textbox areas are included frequently in the book, where readers can find useful learning tips, reminder of common errors, comparison between similar concepts. To help readers develop the problem-solving skills, a small section labelled as “strategy” is usually given for the examples in the book. Readers are encouraged to try solving the problems by themselves with helpful hints provided in the “strategy”, and then compare their work with the detailed solutions provided afterwards.

uk: Математика, природничі науки

description: The central theme of Organic Chemistry II is to develop a thorough understanding of a variety of organic reactions. This book is organized into sections based on common organic functional groups and their properties and reactions. With nine chapters in total, the functional groups included in this book are alcohols, aldehydes and ketones, conjugated systems, aromatic compounds, carboxylic acids and derivatives, and carbohydrates. A notable obstacle that is consistently faced in the teaching and learning experience of Organic Chemistry II is the sheer number of organic reactions that is included in the curriculum, which can be overwhelming for students. An effective approach to learning this is to dissect and comprehend the underlying reasons behind these mechanisms, as well as identifying differences and drawing connections between reactions. Combining these aspects will form a strong foundational understanding of the complex topics included in Organic Chemistry II. Efforts are made in this book to enforce such an understanding. In the discussion of reaction mechanisms, for example, it is explained why a certain type of reaction applies to a specific functional group, why a certain reagent is required for that reaction, and how the different reaction conditions affect the mechanism. In the back matter of the book, a specialized section to explain the origin of reaction mechanism names is included, with the hopes of clarifying the meanings behind common organic reaction mechanism names.

Political Ideologies and Worldviews: An Introduction 2nd edition takes a “pluralist” approach and, in addition to being the first open textbook on its subject, also pushes back against the Eurocentric tendencies of standard textbooks by including chapters on Indigenous worldviews and Confucianism. Providing the latest scholarship on “classical ideologies” (liberalism, conservatism, socialism, anarchism, etc.), the textbook also includes innovative chapters on populism, feminism, and multiculturalism, as well as looking at the future of ideologies in a globalized world. Joining together scholars from Canada and beyond, the text also contains discussion questions to help students and readers to think further. This new edition features more text breaks, images, tables and exercises throughout the chapters, making it even more interactive and accessible.

This open textbook will be a great asset for introductory courses at the college and university levels on political ideologies and political thought and philosophy, but could also be used in other disciplines, as each chapter assesses the state of the ideology in today’s world. The general reader looking for a better understanding of the competing ideological currents of our time – currents which flow into our daily political debates and real-life government decisions – will also greatly benefit from this book.

Academic success is the goal of any educator. However, one of the current challenges educators face is helping students feel safe and ready to learn so they can be successful in the classroom. Teacher education programs have traditionally focused on developmentally appropriate behaviors, pedagogy, and effective classroom management techniques. However, there is an ever-growing need in schools to better support students who have experienced traumas.

The Becoming Trauma Responsive documentary and subsequent eBook companion was developed to serve as a practical guide and a small dose of professional development on applying neuroscience and a trauma-responsive lens with practical ideas for implementation.

This eBook provides a quick overview of trauma, how it impacts students and children, and what can be done to better understand and support the needs of students and individuals impacted by trauma. To be as inclusive as possible, all educators, mental health providers, and caregivers are acknowledged by using the term “helpers” to identify those who are interested in supporting children in grades P-12.

description:
As the quarter-century mark in the 21st Century nears, new aviation-related equipment has come to the forefront, both to help us and to haunt us. (Coutu, 2020) This is particularly the case with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). These vehicles have grown in popularity and accessible to everyone. Of different shapes and sizes, they are widely available for purchase at relatively low prices. They have moved from the backyard recreation status to important tools for the military, intelligence agencies, and corporate organizations. New practical applications such as military equipment and weaponry are announced on a regular basis – globally. (Coutu, 2020) Every country seems to be announcing steps forward in this bludgeoning field.

In our successful 2nd edition of Unmanned Aircraft Systems in the Cyber Domain: Protecting USA’s Advanced Air Assets (Nichols, et al., 2019), the authors addressed three factors influencing UAS phenomena. First, unmanned aircraft technology has seen an economic explosion in production, sales, testing, specialized designs, and friendly / hostile usages of deployed UAS / UAVs / Drones. There is a huge global growing market and entrepreneurs know it. Second, hostile use of UAS is on the forefront of DoD defense and offensive planners. They are especially concerned with SWARM behavior. Movies like “Angel has Fallen,” where drones in a SWARM use facial recognition technology to kill USSS agents protecting POTUS, have built the lore of UAS and brought the problem forefront to DHS. Third, UAS technology was exploding. UAS and Counter- UAS developments in navigation, weapons, surveillance, data transfer, fuel cells, stealth, weight distribution, tactics, GPS / GNSS elements, SCADA protections, privacy invasions, terrorist uses, specialized software, and security protocols has exploded. (Nichols, et al., 2019) Our team has followed / tracked joint ventures between military and corporate entities and specialized labs to build UAS countermeasures.

As authors, we felt compelled to address at least the edge of some of the new C-UAS developments. It was clear that we would be lucky if we could cover a few of - the more interesting and priority technology updates – all in the UNCLASSIFIED and OPEN sphere.

Counter Unmanned Aircraft Systems: Technologies and Operations is the companion textbook to our 2nd edition. The civilian market is interesting and entrepreneurial, but the military and intelligence markets are of concern because the US does NOT lead the pack in C-UAS technologies. China does. China continues to execute its UAS proliferation along the New Silk Road Sea / Land routes (NSRL). It has maintained a 7% growth in military spending each year to support its buildup. (Nichols, et al., 2019) [Chapter 21]. They continue to innovate and have recently improved a solution for UAS flight endurance issues with the development of advanced hydrogen fuel cell. (Nichols, et al., 2019) Reed and Trubetskoy presented a terrifying map of countries in the Middle East with armed drones and their manufacturing origin. Guess who? China. (A.B. Tabriski & Justin, 2018, December)

Our C-UAS textbook has as its primary mission to educate and train resources who will enter the UAS / C-UAS field and trust it will act as a call to arms for military and DHS planners.

This book focuses on three important elements in the development of cereal and legume crops in semi-arid West Africa. The first section illustrates the socioeconomic factors that affect the food system for these crops and contains an overview of crop production and consumption in the region. Then, important inputs that affect system productivity are presented: preferences for new seed varieties, yield response to fertilizer, counterfeit herbicides, climate information, and the way farmers develop expectations about the weather events that shape cropping outcomes. The final chapter of section one is dedicated to understanding urban consumer preferences for processed food products derived from pearl millet.

The second section addresses the state of the art of phenotyping and the modeling of crop adaptation to dryland farming systems. Chapters in section two focus on the regional network for phenotyping, high throughput phenotyping in field situations, root architectures, and crop ideotypes. In addition, empirical evidence is presented on root and soil interactions and the effectiveness of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs to assess sorghum physiology.

Finally, the third section investigates the genetic diversity and improvement of dryland crops. Chapters in this section focus on biodiversity and agricultural system sustainability, orphan crops such as fonio, and the utilization of a regional germplasm collection in the improvement of cowpea, groundnut, pearl millet, and sorghum.

CYBER-HUMAN SYSTEMS, SPACE TECHNOLOGIES, AND THREATS is our eighth textbook in a series covering the world of UASs / CUAS/ UUVs / SPACE. Other textbooks in our series are Space Systems Emerging Technologies and Operations; Drone Delivery of CBNRECy – DEW Weapons: Emerging Threats of Mini-Weapons of Mass Destruction and Disruption (WMDD); Disruptive Technologies with applications in Airline, Marine, Defense Industries; Unmanned Vehicle Systems & Operations On Air, Sea, Land; Counter Unmanned Aircraft Systems Technologies and Operations; Unmanned Aircraft Systems in the Cyber Domain: Protecting USA’s Advanced Air Assets, 2nd edition; and Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) in the Cyber Domain Protecting USA's Advanced Air Assets, 1st edition. Our previous seven titles have received considerable global recognition in the field. (Nichols & Carter, 2022) (Nichols, et al., 2021) (Nichols R. K., et al., 2020) (Nichols R. , et al., 2020) (Nichols R. , et al., 2019) (Nichols R. K., 2018) (Nichols R. K., et al., 2022)

Our eighth title takes on a new purview of Cyber Human Systems and Space Technologies.

Here’s our book’s breakdown:

SECTION 1: Cyber Human Systems (CHS): Eight chapters in this section cover a wide birth of issues and questions. We start at the technological future where machines are merged with humans. CHS has a legal framework, and it is addressed sensors and consumer products. Next, we cover the artificial brain. Chapter 4 is our Hope for Humanity and Positive Global Change. Just think if the AI/ ML/ Space technologies we discuss, when put into responsible hands, could increase food production by 1-2%. How many more millions of families could have food on their tables? Cyborgs are real and here. But where is the future? Turing gave us a legacy of machines hacking machines, but the question is will CHS be hackable? We consider the management of human-AI teams. We end the section with the powerful threats of Neurostrike, impaired metaverse and CHATGPT

SECTION 2: Space Threats :We cannot underestimate technologies that create threats in or out of space. Chapter 9 presents biological threats and growth in space. Space EW is next on the menu followed up by space systems modeling and simulation tools. Chapter 12 argues for a space navy to conduct deep space warfare and exert space dominance.

SECTION 3: Space Warfare, Hypersonics, & Materials: Our resident expert on hypersonics opines on updates to space defenses based on new capabilities in hypersonic missiles. Cyber threats in space cannot be ignored and they are presented in an evolutionary format. Strategy of materials manufacturing in space and their economics are addressed. Quantum technologies will have a significant impact on space operations and are presented. The final chapter is innovative research for wireless power in space applications.

State-of-the-Art research by a team of eighteen SMEs is incorporated into our book! We trust you will enjoy reading it as much as we have in its writing. There is hope for the future.
