In the textbook efforts have been made to visualize as clearly as possible the main concepts of thermodynamic quantities such as enthalpy and entropy, thus making them more perceivable. Furthermore, intricate formulae in thermodynamics have been discussed as functionally unified sets of formulae to understand their meaning rather than to mathematically derive them in detail.In this textbook, the affinity of irreversible processes, defined by the second law of thermodynamics, has been treated as the mainThermochemistryIrreversible processesExergyElectronic books.Thermochemistry.Irreversible processes.Exergy.541.36902462541/.36 22Sato Norio725552MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910458239703321Chemical energy and exergy1425586UNINA05011oam 2200697I 450 991080018880332120230807204206.00-429-18288-01-4822-8858-310.1201/b18053 (CKB)2670000000567719(EBL)1683497(SSID)ssj0001467286(PQKBManifestationID)11793201(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001467286(PQKBWorkID)11515994(PQKB)11077921(MiAaPQ)EBC1683497(OCoLC)897885407(EXLCZ)99267000000056771920180331h20152015 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrClimate change and the coast building resilient communities /Bruce C.

Escalating problems created by sea-level rise, more intense coastal storms, ocean acidification and other repercussions of climate change will exacerbate already pervasive impacts resulting from rapid coastal population growth and development intensification. Coastal communities will only survive and prosper in the coming decades if all concerned make a concerted effort to improve their resilience and adaptability.Telling the stories of real-world communities in diverse coastal settings, this book draws upon the latest research findiCoastal engineeringShore protectionCoast changesClimatic changesClimatic changesEnvironmental aspectsCoastal engineering.Shore protection.Coast changes.Climatic changes.Climatic changesEnvironmental aspects.627.58Glavovic Bruce C(Bruce Christopher),1194391Kelly MikeKay RobertTravers AilbheFlBoTFGFlBoTFGBOOK9910800188803321Climate change and the coast3874674UNINA05348nam 22006615 450 991101587300332120251202154433.0981-9667-99-210.1007/978-981-96-6799-4(MiAaPQ)EBC32206004(Au-PeEL)EBL32206004(CKB)39625697100041(DE-He213)978-981-96-6799-4(OCoLC)1527753647(EXLCZ)993962569710004120250710d2025 u| 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierAction Research in Action Thinking and Using Soft Systems Methodology Between Reality and Actuality /by Kenichi Uchiyama1st ed. 2025.Singapore :Springer Nature Singapore :Imprint: Springer,2025.1 online resource (372 pages)Translational Systems Sciences,2197-8840 ;46981-9667-98-4 Part 1.

Conclusion.This is the first book to provide the fundamental backbone for the field of action research (AR). One of the main characteristics of AR is to achieve a kind of learning based on experience through action in the real world, connecting and reconciling theory and practice by reflection for / in / by action. A standard form of AR has not yet been found, however, because it is difficult for conventional academicians to effectively bridge the gap between objectivity in theory and subjectivity in practice. For the past 50 years, soft systems methodology (SSM) has developed the methodology to deal with subjectivity by rigorously adhering to a coherent guideline of a systemic means for discussion— for example, accommodation (i.e., living with different individual worldviews). The author began to reinterpret SSM from an Eastern context at Lancaster University (UK), and received a Ph.D. at the London School of Economics, introducing the “actuality” point of view. This idea originated with the eminent Japanese psychiatrist Bin Kimura, who argued that schizophrenics do not lose touch with reality but with actuality. That is, there are two aspects of the world, reality and actuality, based on Latin res (“thing”) and actio (“action”). They can recognize all things of the world as “reality” as expressed by that noun but cannot comprehend with a feeling of reality the predicate “actuality”. Introducing actuality into SSM as a new dimension opened a new perspective in SSM both theoretically and practically. This topic is discussed in detail in Part II of this book. Part I contains three chapters. Chapter 1 provides a basic conceptual overview of SSM. Chapter 2 provides an actual trace of the evolution of SSM over the last 25 years. One topic that is expected to become the subject of serious practical application of SSM in the future is its application to resilience. This is discussed in some detail in Chapter 3. The actuality aspect of SSM has been used for more than 20 years in various contexts, yielding many good results. Among those are a new explanation of accommodation using paleo logic or predicate logic; a new management cycle based on actuality, such as learning for / in / by action; and the novelty of the methodological tool itself. Those 20 years of learning authenticate the guideline for the way of discussion or agreement that is relevant to actuality. Especially in the recent Covid-19 pandemic, it has oriented the restoration of actuality in the digital-based society, where actuality is deadened. This result is also dealt with in Part I.Translational Systems Sciences,2197-8840 ;46PsychologyKnowledge, Theory ofIndustrial organizationBehavioral Sciences and PsychologyEpistemologyOrganizationTeoria del coneixementthubMetodologia de les ciències socialsthubCanvi organitzatiuthubLlibres electrònicsthubPsychology.Knowledge, Theory of.Industrial organization.Behavioral Sciences and Psychology.Epistemology.Organization.Teoria del coneixementMetodologia de les ciències socialsCanvi organitzatiu150Uchiyama Kenichi1833500MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911015873003321Action Research in Action4408391UNINA
