Concise Guide to Marriage and Family Therapy - Original PDF
نویسندگان: 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
نویسندگان: 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.
Cultural Resources for Tourism: Patterns, Processes and Policies - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: The cultural heritage of regions and communities is presently being rediscovered and valorised as a driving force in building cultural identity and as a ubiquitous resource for dynamizing cultural activities. This process can lead to the development of cultural capital with clear territorial links and, as such, a favourable incubation condition for creating sustainable and competitive forms of cultural tourism. Research on cultural resources for tourism implies both a multidisciplinary approach and methodological innovations to deal with such a complex phenomenon. The challenge to identify and map cultural heritage elements - tangible and intangible - in a pan European context has recently been dealt with in the ESPON project 1.3.3 (2004-2006). Lack of adequate definitions, poor databases, and a showcase of national and sector differences in approaching culture as 'resource' for development was the final balance of that explorative project. These findings have prompted further case study research into the study of cultural heritage, which is encapsulated in this book. This publication differs from others on cultural tourism through its emphasis on spatial dynamics, by analyzing location and behavior patterns in different tourism destinations, by identifying the parameters of change induced by tourism and, not in the least, trial and error examples in policy making. The book includes a rich variety of case studies mainly from all over Europe (but also including cases set in Israel, Cairo and India), representing the views and findings of 21 international researchers and scholars in cultural tourism, scanning unique situations in order to detect the common dynamics and impacts of tourismification. The final objective is to propose consistent directions for policy, based on empirical insights. The book contributes significantly to the understanding of cultural diversity and territorial identity, on the one hand, and to the dynamics of tourism, on the other, all of which are key issues in local and regional planning and management. As such, they should be a source of inspiration for policy-makers and an eye-opener for students, researchers and consultants in the field of cultural heritage and tourism and, hopefully, an interesting virtual trip - from Savonlinna to Cairo, from Santiago de Compostela to Sibiu - crossing and discovering a kaleidoscope of colourful and unique cultural landscapes and tourismscapes.

Brand New Ireland? (New Directions in Tourism Analysis) - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: What role does the state have over national development within an increasingly globalized economy? Moreover, how do we conceive 'nationality' during periods of rapid economic and social change spurred on by globalization? By examining tourism in the Republic of Ireland over the past 20 years, Michael Clancy addresses these questions of national identity formation, as well as providing a detailed understanding of the political economy of tourism and development. Firstly, he explores the role that tourism has played in Ireland's dramatic economic transformation from the 'poor man of Europe' to one of the richest. While many lessons have been taken from the so-called 'Celtic Tiger' to be applied to other developing nations, the role that tourism has played has been largely ignored. This book argues that tourism played an important part in this success. Clancy also locates tourism within broader theoretical debates regarding development, specifically on the role of the state and globalizing industries. Separate industry chapters (on hotels and airlines) show that globalization proceeds in an uneven manner, offering different opportunities and constraints for development. The book also uses tourism as a lens for observing national identity formation in a period of rapid change. Tourism markets the nation as a commodity, not just for tourists, but for its own citizens. Ireland has been at the forefront of branding the nation, introducing 'Tourism Brand Ireland' in 1996. Tracing the evolution of this brand allows an examination of how the nation conceives of itself.
Advances in Tourism Economics: New Developments - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: 'Advances in Tourism Economics' follows his predecessor 'Advances in Modern Tourism Research' (2007) in providing a thorough assessment of state-of-the-art economic research in this rapidly developing field. The authors start by analyzing the recent upsurge of model-based economic research in the field, which builds on powerful tools in quantitative economics, such as discrete choice models, social accounting matrices, data envelopment analyses, impact assessment models or partial computable equilibrium models including environmental externalities. The volume originates from this novel research spirit in the area and aims to offer an attractive collection of operational research tools and approaches. It forms an appealing record of modern tourism economics and positions the field within the strong tradition of quantitative economic research, with due attention for both the demand and supply side of the tourism sector, including technological and logistic advances.
Tourism-marketing Performance Metrics and Usefulness Auditing of Destination Websites: Volume 4 (Advances in Culture, Tourism and Hospitality Research) - Original PDF
نویسندگان: 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.![Academic Leadership and Governance of Higher Education [OP]: A Guide for Trustees, Leaders, and Aspiring Leaders of Two- and Four-Year Institutions - Orginal Pdf](https://dl.libsan.ir/images/1/12/Academic Leadership and Governance of Higher Education_64341b53c0df5.jpg)
