Reading Paul Howard The Art of Ross O'Carroll-Kelly

Reading Paul Howard The Art of Ross O'Carroll-Kelly

Reading Paul Howard: The Art of Ross O’Carroll Kelly offers a thorough examination of narrative devices satirical modes cultural context and humour in Howard’s texts. The volume argues that his academic critical neglect is due to a classic bifurcation in Irish Studies between high and popular culture and it will use the thought of Pierre Bourdieu Sigmund Freud Mikhail Bakhtin and Jacques Derrida to critique this division building a theoretical platform from which to examine the significance of Howard’s work as an Irish comic and satirical writer. Addressing both the style and the substance of his work this text locates him in a tradition of Irish satirical writing that dates back to the Gaelic bards and it includes writers like Swift Wilde Flann O’Brien and Joyce. Through textual and contextual analysis this book makes the case for Howard as a significant and original voice in Irish writing whose fusion of the three traditional types of satire (Horatian Juvenalian and Menippean) has created a parallel Ireland that shines a satirical light on its real counterpart. As Freud suggests humour is a way of accessing aspects of the psyche that normative discourses cannot enunciate and Howard through the confessional voice of Ross offers a fictive truth on 20 years of Irish society a truth that is not accessed by discourse in the public sphere or by what could be termed literary or high cultural fiction. | Reading Paul Howard The Art of Ross O'Carroll-Kelly

Green Machine Learning Protocols for Future Communication Networks

Green Machine Learning Protocols for Future Communication Networks

Machine learning has shown tremendous benefits in solving complex network problems and providing situation and parameter prediction. However heavy resources are required to process and analyze the data which can be done either offline or using edge computing but also requires heavy transmission resources to provide a timely response. The need here is to provide lightweight machine learning protocols that can process and analyze the data at run time and provide a timely and efficient response. These algorithms have grown in terms of computation and memory requirements due to the availability of large data sets. These models/algorithms also require high levels of resources such as computing memory communication and storage. The focus so far was on producing highly accurate models for these communication networks without considering the energy consumption of these machine learning algorithms. For future scalable and sustainable network applications efforts are required toward designing new machine learning protocols and modifying the existing ones which consume less energy i. e. green machine learning protocols. In other words novel and lightweight green machine learning algorithms/protocols are required to reduce energy consumption which can also reduce the carbon footprint. To realize the green machine learning protocols this book presents different aspects of green machine learning for future communication networks. This book highlights mainly the green machine learning protocols for cellular communication federated learning-based models and protocols for Beyond Fifth Generation networks approaches for cloud-based communications and Internet-of-Things.

Green Accounting

Green Accounting

This title was first published in 2003. Our cherished economic indicators of income product consumption and capital fail in taking a long-term view of social progress. They do not account for environmental deterioration which impairs the quality of life of present and future generations and hence the sustainability of development. Greening the conventional national (and corporate) accounts introduces environmental impacts and costs into these accounts and balances. The result is a new compass for steering the economy towards sustainability which may change not only our main measures of economic performance but also the basic tenets of environmental and resource policies. This book presents methodological advances and case studies of environmental accounting and discusses their use in environmental management and policies. In their introduction the editors provide a critical perspective of historical developments and current debates. | Green Accounting

English Urban Commons The Past Present and Future of Green Spaces

English Urban Commons The Past Present and Future of Green Spaces

This book presents a novel examination of urban commons which provides a robust base for education initiatives and future public policy guidance on the protection and use of urban commons as invaluable urban green spaces that offer a diverse cultural and ecological resource for future communities. This book's central argument is that only through a deep understanding of the past and a rigorous engagement with present users can we devise new futures or imaginaries of culture well-being and diversity for the urban commons. It argues that understanding the genesis of and interactions between the different pressures on urban green space has important policy implications for the delivery of nature conservation recreational access and other land use priorities. The stakeholders in today’s urban commons whether land users policy makers or the public are the inheritors of a complex cultural legacy and must negotiate diverse and sometimes conflicting objectives in their pursuit of a potentially unifying goal: a secure future for our urban commons. This book offers a unique and strongly interdisciplinary study of urban commons one that brings together original historical investigation contemporary legal scholarship extensive oral history research with user groups and research examining the imagined futures for the urban common in modern society. It explores the complex social and political history of the urban common as well as its legal and cultural status today using four diverse case studies from within England as exemplars of the distinctively urban common. These are Town Moor in Newcastle Mousehold Heath in Norwich Clifton and Durdham Downs in Bristol and Valley Gardens in Brighton. This book concludes by looking forward and considering new tools and methods of negotiation inclusivity and creativity to inform the future of these case studies and of urban commons more widely. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of the commons green spaces urban planning environmental and urban geography environmental studies and natural resource management.

The Open Church

The Open Church

Michael Novak's eyewitness report on the second and pivotal session of Vatican II in 1964 vividly inter weaves pageantry politics and theology. An unusually well-informed lay intellectual who had earned a theological degree just before the Council Novak applauded the purposes of Pope John XXIII and his successor Paul VI-to throw open the windows of the church. In this report he coined the classic description of the foes of the reforms at Vatican II as the party of nonhistorical orthodoxy emphasizing the eternal and unchanging neglecting history and contingency. The author recounts many moments of high drama-Pope Paul VI's opening speech the vote on the collegiality of bishops the plea of Cardinal Bea on behalf of the chapter on Jews and Bishop De Smedt's defense of religious freedom. His colorful chapter on the American bishops in 1964 serves as a fascinating benchmark as do his many insights into the new role of the laity. His final chapter is a moving tribute to the Open Church engaging the contemporary world and his new introduction brings this report up to date. This work will be of compelling interest to those interested in the post-conciliar fall of Communism under the great John Paul II-who took his name from his two predecessors at Vatican II. The winner of the million-dollar Templeton Prize for Progress in Religion (1994) Michael Novak is a theologian author and former U. S. ambassador. He currently holds the George Frederick Jewett Chair in Religion and Public Policy at the American Enterprise Institute in Washington D. C. where he is director of social and political studies. His writings have appeared in every major Western language and in Chinese Bengali Korean and Japanese. Also available from Transaction are his Catholic Social Thought and Liberal Institutions The Experience of Nothingness The Guns of Lattimer Unmeltable Ethnics Belief and Unbelief and Choosing Presidents.
