The Need for Critical Thinking and the Scientific Method

The Need for Critical Thinking and the Scientific Method

The book exposes many of the misunderstandings about the scientific method and its application to critical thinking. It argues for a better understanding of the scientific method and for nurturing critical thinking in the community. This knowledge helps the reader to analyze issues more objectively and warns about the dangers of bias and propaganda. The principles are illustrated by considering several issues that are currently being debated. These include anthropogenic global warming (often loosely referred to as climate change) dangers to preservation of the Great Barrier Reef and the expansion of the gluten-free food market and genetic engineering. | The Need for Critical Thinking and the Scientific Method

Integrated Micro-Ring Photonics Principles and Applications as Slow Light Devices Soliton Generation and Optical Transmission

Integrated Micro-Ring Photonics Principles and Applications as Slow Light Devices Soliton Generation and Optical Transmission

Micro-ring resonators (MRRs) are employed to generate signals used for optical communication applications where they can be integrated in a single system. These structures are ideal candidates for very large-scale integrated (VLSI) photonic circuits since they provide a wide range of optical signal processing functions while being ultra-compact. Soliton pulses have sufficient stability for preservation of their shape and velocity. Technological progress in fields such as tunable narrow band laser systems multiple transmission and MRR systems constitute a base for the development of new transmission techniques. Controlling the speed of a light signal has many potential applications in fiber optic communication and quantum computing. The slow light effect has many important applications and is a key technology for all optical networks such as optical signal processing. Generation of slow light in MRRs is based on the nonlinear optical fibers. Slow light can be generated within the micro-ring devices which will be able to be used with the mobile telephone. Therefore the message can be kept encrypted via quantum cryptography. Thus perfect security in a mobile telephone network is plausible. This research study involves both numerical experiments and theoretical work based on MRRs for secured communication. | Integrated Micro-Ring Photonics Principles and Applications as Slow Light Devices Soliton Generation and Optical Transmission

Strategic Security Forward Thinking for Successful Executives

Strategic Security Forward Thinking for Successful Executives

Strategic Security will help security managers and those aspiring to the position to think strategically about their job the culture of their workplace and the nature of security planning and implementation. Security professionals tend to focus on the immediate (the urgent) rather than the important and essential—too often serving as firefighters rather than strategists. This book will help professionals consider their roles and structure their tasks through a strategic approach without neglecting their career objectives. Few security management books for professionals in the field focus on corporate or industrial security from a strategic perspective. Books on the market normally provide recipes methods or guidelines to develop plans policies or procedures. However many do so without taking into account the personal element that is supposed to apply these methods. In this book the authors helps readers to consider their own career development in parallel with establishing their organisation security programme. This is fundamental to becoming and serving as a quality effective manager. The element of considering career objectives as part-and-parcel to this is both unique to only this book and vital for long-term career success. The author delineates what makes strategic thinking different in a corporate and security environment. While strategy is crucial in the running of a company the traditional attitude towards security is that it has to fix issues quickly and at low cost. This is an attitude that no other department would tolerate but because of its image security departments sometimes have major issues with buy-in and from top-management. The book covers the necessary level of strategic thinking to put their ideas into practice. Once this is achieved the strategic process is explained including the need to build the different steps into this process—and into the overarching business goals of the organisation—will be demonstrated. The book provides numerous hand-on examples of how to formulate and execute the strategic master plan for the organization. The authors draws on his extensive experience and successes to serve as a valuable resource to all security professionals looking to advance their careers in the field. | Strategic Security Forward Thinking for Successful Executives

The Dirty Side of the Garment Industry Fast Fashion and Its Negative Impact on Environment and Society

The Dirty Side of the Garment Industry Fast Fashion and Its Negative Impact on Environment and Society

When thinking about lowering or changing consumption to lower carbon footprints the obvious offenders come easily to mind: petroleum and petroleum products paper and plastic even food. But not clothes. Although the clothing industry is the second largest polluter after agriculture most consumers do not think of clothes as a source of environmental damage. The Dirty Side of the Garment Industry: Fast Fashion and its Negative Impact on Environment and Society exposes how clever marketing tactics designed to increase demand skillfully hide this reality. An in-depth examination of the international fashion trade and related goods this book raises visibility of the ethical aspects of promoting overconsumption through explaining the ecological damage resulting from the high rate of discarding old clothes. It focuses on the promotion globalization and integration of the apparel sector into our social and political landscape. It presents an expert overview of the garment industry highlighting the harsh realities of the environmental and labor problems associated with it. It tracks the commercial and cultural factors that have led to the growth of fast fashion retail and its dominance of the entire industry. The book covers current regulatory policies both national and international on production and labor and the author does not shy away from making recommendations for change. He examines marketing business and economic models to explain how assumptions of traditional economic theory on industrial growth and prosperity fall short in addressing the high social costs of promoting the overconsumption of cheap and readily disposable clothes. You will come away with a detailed holistic understanding of the garment industry as well as clarity regarding the larger issue of finding balance when it comes to the ethics of consumption. | The Dirty Side of the Garment Industry Fast Fashion and Its Negative Impact on Environment and Society

How to Stop a Hijacking Critical Thinking in Civil Aviation Security

How to Stop a Hijacking Critical Thinking in Civil Aviation Security

Hijackings and bombings have plagued civil aviation since 1930 and air rage incidents are on the rise. While there is aircraft and inflight training available for air marshals other first responders receive minimal training on inflight security awareness and protocols. There are no other resources currently available to flight crews or armed first responders that specifically address inflight security and how to address threats of disturbances on airplanes. How to Stop a Hijacking provides readers with fundamental principles on how to think more critically about onboard security threats. The aircraft cabin poses unique environment and security challenges and first responders can apply security awareness and critical thinking skills to establish a safer environment in the cabin and airport for everyone onboard. The lessons in this book are driven with the central objective of teaching the reader how to counter inflight aggression and maintain tactical control of the cabin. Written by a former federal air marshal instructor this book looks at the recent rash of air rage incidents and violence on airplanes in addition to the real and ever-present threat of hijack or potential explosive device. How to Stop a Hijacking is a practical guide that offers methodological and tactically proven strategies for stopping violent acts onboard an aircraft inflight. | How to Stop a Hijacking Critical Thinking in Civil Aviation Security
