Conducting Personal Network Research

A Practical Guide

By: Christopher McCarty,Miranda J. Lubbers,Raffaele Vacca,José Luis Molina

Written at an introductory level, and featuring engaging case examples, this book reviews the theory and practice of personal and egocentric network research. This approach offers powerful tools for capturing the impact of overlapping, changing social relationships and contexts on individuals' attitudes and behavior. The authors provide solid guidance on the formulation of research questions; research design; data collection, including decisions about survey modes and sampling frames; the measurement of network composition and structure, including the use of name generators; and statistical modeling, from basic regression techniques to more advanced multilevel and dynamic models. Ethical issues in personal network research are addressed. User-friendly features include boxes on major published studies, end-of-chapter suggestions for further reading, and an appendix describing the main software programs used in the field.

Cello Practice, Cello Performance

By: Miranda Wilson

Cello Practice, Cello Performance

By: Miranda Wilson

What does it mean to perform expressively on the cello? In Cello Practice, Cello Performance, professor Miranda Wilson teaches that effectiveness on the concert stage or in an audition reflects the intensity, efficiency, and organization of your practice. Far from being a mysterious gift randomly bestowed on a lucky few, successful cello performance is, in fact, a learnable skill that any player can master. Most other instructional works for cellists address techniques for each hand individually, as if their movements were independent. In Cello Practice, Cello Performance, Wilson demonstrates that the movements of the hands are vitally interdependent, supporting and empowering one another in any technical action. Original exercises in the fundamentals of cello playing include cross-lateral exercises, mindful breathing, and one of the most detailed discussions of intonation in the cello literature. Wilson translates this practice-room success to the concert hall through chapters on performance-focused practice, performance anxiety, and common interpretive challenges of cello playing. This book is a resource for all advanced cellists—college-bound high school students, undergraduate and graduate students, educators, and professional performers—and teaches them how to be their own best teachers.

Hackea tu cerebro

Neurociencia, productividad, aprendizaje

By: Nicolás Fernández Miranda

A Nicolás Fernández Miranda le dijeron que nunca sería bueno en Matemática y unos años después se recibió de Contador Público, con honores. Al convertirse en profesor, descubrió que había algo que no estaba bien en el sistema educativo, y era que nadie se había preocupado por enseñarles, ni a sus alumnos ni a él mismo, cómo aprender. Gracias a su pasado, descubrió que su vocación era compartir con el mundo sus conocimientos en la neurociencia aplicada al aprendizaje. Desde entonces, en sus conferencias, en sus clases y en sus redes sociales comparte videos, hacks y métodos en los que busca demostrarles a sus seguidores que aprender es fácil, divertido y necesario. Entender cómo funcionan los procesos de aprendizaje y productividad puede cambiar la vida de todos.

Surface Modification by Solid State Processing

By: Rosa M. Miranda,Joao Pedro Gandra,Pedro Vilaca,Luisa Quintino,Telmo G. Santos

Surface Modification by Solid State Processing describes friction-based surfacing techniques for surface modification to improve resistance to corrosion and wear, also changing surface chemistry. Surface conditions are increasingly demanding in industrial applications and surface modification can reduce manufacturing and maintenance costs, leading to improved component performance, reliability and lifetime. Friction-based technologies are promising solid state processing technologies, particularly for light alloys, in the manufacturing of composite surface and functionally graded materials This title is divided into five chapters, and after an introduction the book covers friction surfacing; friction stir processing; surface reinforcements of light alloys; and characterization techniques based on eddy currents. - Describes friction-based surfacing techniques for surface modification to improve resistance to corrosion and wear, and change surface chemistry - Emphasizes industrial applications - Describes existing and emerging techniques

Transforming Education

Reimagining Learning, Pedagogy and Curriculum

By: Miranda Jefferson,Michael Anderson

Working away from trends in government policy, this book takes a future-oriented re-imagining of schools with a focus on four innate human capacities: collaboration, critical reflection, communication and creativity. Miranda Jefferson and Michael Anderson draw together examples of practice from around the world to provide a reimagining of education. They show how our schools can be sustainably transformed to be places of support, challenge and joy in learning, responsive to students' needs and the needs in our workplaces and wider society. Readers are empowered to use knowledge and experience to create the reality they would like to see in their school, building engaged, innovative and active learning, pedagogy curriculum and leadership. Key ideas are summarised at the end of each chapter along with an extensive referencing and bibliography, and a supporting glossary.
