Concise Guide to Marriage and Family Therapy - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Eva C. Ritvo, Ira D. Glick خلاصه: DEFINITION OF MARRIAGE AND FAMILY THERAPY Family therapy is distinguished from other psychotherapies by its conceptual focus on the family system as a whole. In this view, ma- jor emphasis is placed on understanding how the system as a whole remains functional and on understanding individual behavior pat- terns as arising from, and inevitably feeding back into, the complex interactions within the family system. In other words, a person’s thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are seen as multidetermined and partly a product of significant interpersonal relationships. From the family systems perspective, alterations in the larger marital and family unit may therefore have positive consequences for the indi- vidual members as well as for the larger system. A major emphasis is generally placed on understanding and intervening in the family system’s current patterns of interaction, with usually only a second- ary interest in the origins and development of these interactions (de- pending on the model)
Optical Character Recognition Systems for Different Languages with Soft Computing - Original PDF
Optical Character Recognition Systems for Different Languages with Soft Computing - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Arindam Chaudhuri, Krupa Mandaviya, Pratixa Badelia, Soumya K Ghosh (auth.) خلاصه: The book offers a comprehensive survey of soft-computing models for optical character recognition systems. The various techniques, including fuzzy and rough sets, artificial neural networks and genetic algorithms, are tested using real texts written in different languages, such as English, French, German, Latin, Hindi and Gujrati, which have been extracted by publicly available datasets. The simulation studies, which are reported in details here, show that soft-computing based modeling of OCR systems performs consistently better than traditional models. Mainly intended as state-of-the-art survey for postgraduates and researchers in pattern recognition, optical character recognition and soft computing, this book will be useful for professionals in computer vision and image processing alike, dealing with different issues related to optical character recognition.

نویسندگان: Minoru Mori (Editor) خلاصه: . Introduction The advancements in pattern recognition has accelerated recently due to the many emerging applications which are not only challenging, but also computationally more demanding, such evident in Optical Character Recognition (OCR), Document Classification, Computer Vision, Data Mining, Shape Recognition, and Biometric Authentication, for instance. The area of OCR is becoming an integral part of document scanners, and is used in many applications such as postal processing, script recognition, banking, security (i.e. passport authentication) and language identification. The research in this area has been ongoing for over half a century and the outcomes have been astounding with successful recognition rates for printed characters exceeding 99%, with significant improvements in performance for handwritten cursive character recognition where recognition rates have exceeded the 90% mark. Nowadays, many organizations are depending on OCR systems to eliminate the human interactions for better performance and efficiency.

Franchising Hospitality Services (Hospitality, Leisure and Tourism) - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Conrad Lashley, Alison Morrison خلاصه: 'Franchising in the Hospitality Industry' provides an overview of the issues, debates and challenges associated with business franchising. In two parts, this text firstly looks at the issues from both an academic and practitioner perspective. The second part looks more closely at service sector groups in the hospitality industry, such as hotels, leisure and catering using national and international examples and illustrations. These demonstrate how the theories and debates discussed in the first part, are tackled in real life situations. Examples used are from well known companies such as McDonalds, Baskin Robbins, Burger King, Choice Hotels, Holiday Inn, Domino Pizza, Pierre Victoire amongst others. an insight into the national and international activities of franchise operations within the hospitality service sector and the business dynamics associated with franchising in this contextidentifies examples of best practice from the point of view of both franchiser and franchiseea holistic understanding of all issues involved by showing them in a real life context
Commercial Homes in Tourism: An international perspective (Routledge Critical Studies in Tourism, Business and Management) - Original PDF
Commercial Homes in Tourism: An international perspective (Routledge Critical Studies in Tourism, Business and Management) - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Paul Lynch, Alison J. Mcintosh, Hazel Tucker خلاصه: This volume is the first to examine the commercial home from an international perspective, paying attention to the frequently occurring but often neglected forms of commercial accommodation including farmstays, historic houses, and self-catering accommodation. Conceptually, it helps to explain a range of behaviours and practices, for example the importance of setting and the nature of the host/guest exchange. The idea of home provides a conceptual bridge to related themes, for example identity, gender, emotional management and cultural mobilities whose investigation in a commercial home context offers fascinating insights into hospitality, tourism and society. This book is structured around three themes. The first is dimensions of the commercial home and includes discussion of issues pertaining to forms and characteristics and female entrepreneurship. The second theme considers the commercial home as an investigative lens to examine wider issues of society, hospitality and tourism such as the commercial home as a tool for rural economic development. The third theme, extending the commercial home paradigm, looks at new areas of development, including the Malaysian Muslim home as a site for economic and political action and the use of the home in marketing regional localities. Commercial Homes in Tourism is the first book to give recognition to this distinct, economically important and expanding form of tourism business by bringing together recent, international research on this common form of commercial tourism accommodation. Given the global nature of the commercial home phenomenon, and owing to the originality of its theoretical contributions and practical insights, this book will be of interest across a broad range of subjects and disciplines interested in the examination of the home phenomenon, including students, academics and business practitioners.

Tourism in Western Europe: A Collection of Case Histories - Original PDF
نویسندگان: R. Voase خلاصه: The last twenty years has seen a proliferation of the term 'tourist destination'. Improbable places, such as industrial cities and isolated rural environments have become legitimate places to visit. At the same time, traditional tourist destinations such as coastal resorts have declined in popularity. There is a shift from 'old' to 'new' tourism. These case histories examine these issues.The book is divided into three sections, dealing with political, economic and sociocultural reasons for change.
Tourism-marketing Performance Metrics and Usefulness Auditing of Destination Websites: Volume 4 (Advances in Culture, Tourism and Hospitality Research) - Original PDF
Tourism-marketing Performance Metrics and Usefulness Auditing of Destination Websites: Volume 4 (Advances in Culture, Tourism and Hospitality Research) - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Arch G. Woodside خلاصه: This volume provides specific answers to hard questions about how to create valid metrics to measure the effectiveness of tourism advertising and the usefulness of destination marketing websites. An extensive literature review describes 40+ years of research on the effectiveness of tourism advertising and the slow advancement to using valid impact metrics - field experiments with alternative ad treatment and placements. Several authors undertake information-usefulness audits on DMO (destination management office) websites and provide practical check lists. Tourism website comparisons include: Maine, Massachusetts and New York; Genoa, Marseilles and Valencia; France, Spain and Portugal; and China, Poland, Russia and Thailand, against each other as well as the Lonely Planet websites. Content analysis of consumer-generated advertisements that promote visits to third places, in this case Starbucks coffee shops and Chipotle restaurants, makes an intriguing study. The final paper gives a thick description of the dynamics of the government's role in shaping China's domestic, inbound, and outbound tourism industry and contributes to building a behavioral theory of government-firm relationships.
