Political Action in Václav Havel's Thought

The Responsibility of Resistance

By: Delia Popescu

Political Action in Vaclav Havel's Thought: The Responsibility of Resistance, by Delia Popescu, examines resistance to oppression and individual responsibility in political action, all in the context of Vaclav Havel's political philosophy. The famous anti-communist dissident, acclaimed playwright, former President of the Czech Republic, and eminent political thinker argues that there is a certain tendency in modern humanity towards the creation, or at least toleration, of a political system that is invasive and controlling. Not unlike Tocqueville and Arendt, Havel claims that modern liberal democracy contains potential tendencies toward a new form of despotism that capitalizes on modern alienation and social atomization. Political Action in Vaclav Havel's Thought suggests that Havel's theory of individual opposition can be used to secure political freedom under the conditions of modernity. Popescu demonstrates that Havel's idea of attaining true political participation and freedom requires a strong connection between an individually constructed ethics and the realm of politics. On this basis she reveals that a thick notion of morality can be usefully integrated into an account of both private and public accountability. Vaclav Havel's essays, plays, speeches, and letters can therefore be integrated into a coherent political theory which contributes significantly to some of the central debates in modern political thought. Delia Popescu concludes that Havel's theory of individual opposition to totalitarianism may also serve as the foundation for a conception of responsible participation in modern liberal democracies.

Isoform p53 Protein's Major Role in the Pathophysiology of Malignant Hematologic Diseases

By: Aurelian Udristioiu,Ioan Ovidiu Gheorghe,Delia Nica-Badea

This book comprises scientific information regarding the identification of the p53 isoform protein in malignant hematologic diseases, which impacts the clinical management of ill patients. In recent years, more attention has been paid to the importance of the p53 protein in terms of chronic lymphocytes leukemia, (CLL) in progression to Richter Syndrome, which is characterised by low survival of patients and non-response to classical conventional chemotherapy, due to mutations in the p53 gene. The book deals with theoretical concerns, but also with practical considerations, highlighting the great need for updated research in the biological sciences in general, and in medicine in particular.

Learning in Information-Rich Environments

I-LEARN and the Construction of Knowledge from Information

By: Delia Neuman,Mary Jean Tecce DeCarlo,Vera J. Lee,Stacey Greenwell,Allen Grant

The amount and range of information available to today’s students—and indeed to all learners—is unprecedented. If the characteristics of “the information age” demand new conceptions of commerce, national security, and publishing—among other things—it is logical to assume that they carry implications for education as well. Little has been written, however, about how the specific affordances of these technologies—and the kinds of information they allow students to access and create—relate to the central purpose of education: learning. What does “learning” mean in an information-rich environment? What are its characteristics? What kinds of tasks should it involve? What concepts, strategies, attitudes, and skills do educators and students need to master if they are to learn effectively and efficiently in such an environment? How can researchers, theorists, and practitioners foster the well-founded and widespread development of such key elements of the learning process? This second edition continues these discussions and suggests some tentative answers. Drawing primarily from research and theory in three distinct but related fields—learning theory, instructional systems design, and information studies—it presents a way to think about learning that responds directly to the actualities of a world brimming with information. The second edition also includes insights from digital and critical literacies and provides a combination of an updated research-and-theory base and a collection of instructional scenarios for helping teachers and librarians implement each step of the I-LEARN model. The book could be used in courses in teacher preparation, academic-librarian preparation, and school-librarian preparation.
