Cardinals

The Syntax and Semantics of Cardinal-Containing Expressions

By: Tania Ionin,Ora Matushansky

An argument that complex cardinals are not extra-linguistic but built using standard syntax and standard principles of semantic composition. In Cardinals, Tania Ionin and Ora Matushansky offer a semantic and syntactic analysis of nominal expressions containing complex cardinals (for example, two hundred and thirty-five books). They show that complex cardinals are not an extra-linguistic phenomenon (as is often assumed) but built using standard syntax and standard principles of semantic composition. Complex cardinals can tell us as much about syntactic structure and semantic composition as other linguistic expressions. Ionin and Matushansky show that their analysis accounts for the internal composition of cardinal-containing constructions cross-linguistically, providing examples from more than fifteen languages. They demonstrate that their proposal is compatible with a variety of related phenomena, including modified numerals, measure nouns, and fractions. Ionin and Matushansky show that a semantic or syntactic account that captures the behavior of a simplex cardinal (such as five) does not automatically transfer to a complex cardinal (such as five thousand and forty-six) and propose a compositional analysis of complex cardinals. They consider the lexical categories of simplex cardinals and their role in the construction of complex cardinals; examine in detail the numeral systems of selected languages, including Slavic and Semitic languages; discuss linguistic constructions that contain cardinals; address extra-linguistic conventions on the construction of complex cardinals; and, drawing on data from Modern Hebrew, Basque, Russian, and Dutch, show that modified numerals and partitives are compatible with their analysis.

Developing Learning Environments

Creativity, Motivation and Collaboration in Higher Education

By: Ora Kwo,Tim Moore,John Jones

This book addresses critical challenges for university renewal, and sketches critical issues in Hong Kong's higher education that have global implications. Contributors to the book were originally gathered for a conference funded by the University Grants Committee (UGC) of Hong Kong, and took as their starting point the work of the Carnegie Foundation on The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning. With the worldwide move towards public accountability, academics live in a climate of assessment and must constantly adapt to new pressures. This book presents a focus on leadership in learning, on the basis of which academics can reconcile pressures and paradoxes, transcend the system, and move on to a public domain where teaching and research can be integrated in scholarly discourse and practice. The shared professional insights, as articulated by the contributors to this book, will be most helpful to academics who are navigating through these turbulent waters. Emerging from the major thrusts of the selected papers are three thematic divisions: Critical and Creative Thinking, Motivation in Learning, and Collaboration in Teaching and Learning. The targeted readers include academics, administrators and policy-makers in higher education. The primary focus is on academics as teachers to whom the contributors can communicate authentically as frontline practitioners in an optimistic tone without being naive. Together, the chapters transcend local concerns, and contribute to a developing international discourse on the impact of scholarship of teaching on learning. Rather than advocating certain approaches from successful experiences, the book generates ideas for research into teaching, making transparent the dynamics of learning.

The Laughing Guide to a Better Life

Using Humor and Science to Improve Yourself, Your Relationships, and Your Surroundings

By: Isaac Prilleltensky,Ora Prilleltensky

The motto of this book is smarter through laughter. If you can laugh about it, you can probably change it. The authors use a heavy dose of humor (the laughing side), and a healthy measure of science (the learning side) to help you improve yourself, your relationships, and your surroundings. The book introduces the “I CAN model,” which stands for Interactions, Context, Awareness, and Next steps. Interactions are powerful determinants of health and happiness. There are two skills that can make our interactions healthier: the ability to connect and the capacity to communicate. Context is also a powerful but often neglected driver of change. The contexts of our lives consist of people, places, and things. To leverage context to our advantage we need to master the art of reading cues and changing cues in the environment. Awareness is the next driver of change. Regardless of where you are in the process of change, there is always a next step to strengthen your change, maintain your gains, and keep thriving. To do that, you need to make a plan, and you need to make it stick. The book will teach you how to use these drivers of change to flourish and thrive.

Designing and Building Enterprise Knowledge Graphs

By: Juan Sequeda,Ora Lassila

This book is a guide to designing and building knowledge graphs from enterprise relational databases in practice.\ It presents a principled framework centered on mapping patterns to connect relational databases with knowledge graphs, the roles within an organization responsible for the knowledge graph, and the process that combines data and people. The content of this book is applicable to knowledge graphs being built either with property graph or RDF graph technologies. Knowledge graphs are fulfilling the vision of creating intelligent systems that integrate knowledge and data at large scale. Tech giants have adopted knowledge graphs for the foundation of next-generation enterprise data and metadata management, search, recommendation, analytics, intelligent agents, and more. We are now observing an increasing number of enterprises that seek to adopt knowledge graphs to develop a competitive edge. In order for enterprises to design and build knowledge graphs, they need to understand the critical data stored in relational databases. How can enterprises successfully adopt knowledge graphs to integrate data and knowledge, without boiling the ocean? This book provides the answers.

The Invisible Black Nurse

Navigating Race - isms. A Guide on Becoming Visible. Love Covers All

By: Dr. Ora V. Robinson

The Invisible Black Nurse emerged from research grounded in historical reviews and contemporary perspectives that describe the experiences of Black nurses as their various roles as clinicians, educators, administrators and researchers. Recurring themes include feeling invisible, feeling devalued and being held to a higher standards than their peers in their professional role. She has presented her research at various professionaly nursing conferences and the Association of Psychiagtric Nursing. Her mission is to eliminate the phenomenon of "nurses eating their young" specifically nurses of color. Book Review 1: Black nurse's experiences with Racism may be normalized to the point of being invisible in various health care systems. Dr. Ora Robinson removes the invisibility by bringing the experiences of these nurses into full view. She speaks to the disproportionate negative impacts of racism as experienced by Black nurses. Each page turned, ushers the reader deeper into the world as experienced by the invisible Black nurse. -- Dr. Gloria J. Willingham-Toure", PhD, MNSc, BSN. Book Review 2: I have been acquainted with Dr. Ora Robinson over 20 years. I met her when she applied for a position as a professor in the Nursing Program. Our paths have crossed several times as fellow educators and in professional organizations. We have discussed and experienced the burden of racism disproportionately felt in various areas of the healthcare community. Having realized that this burden is too often silenced or ignored resulting in the Black nurse becoming invisible, Dr. Robinson began to explore and study the phenomenon. With sampling, she acquired evidence to begin addressing audiences. With information presented here, nurses will be inspired and encouraged to evaluate the visibility of all. -- Barbara Napper, MS, Ed. MSN, RN

The Politics of Militant Group Survival in the Middle East

By: Ora Szekely

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

The Politics of Militant Group Survival in the Middle East

Resources, Relationships, and Resistance

By: Ora Szekely

This book compares the performances of four key non-state actors in the Arab-Israeli conflict ecosystem: the PLO, Hamas, Hizbullah, and Amal. It argues that it is not the assets a militant group has, but rather how it acquired them that matters in explaining the variation in these actors' abilities to militarily resist and politically recover from confrontations with far more powerful adversaries. Groups that rely on marketing campaigns to secure local support and regional patronage do far better than those that rely on coercion or even barter. The book develops a typology of organizations based on their foreign and domestic policies, which has interesting implications for other non-state actors, such as ISIS. It is based on field research in Jordan, Lebanon, Israel, the West Bank, Egypt, and Syria, including interviews with members of a range of Lebanese and Palestinian militant groups, as well as politicians, UN staff, journalists, and members of the Jordanian and Israeli armies.
