Lancaster provides the definitive rebuttal of evolutionary just-so stories about men, women, and the nature of desire in this spirited exposé of the heterosexual fables that pervade popular culture, from prime-time sitcoms to scientific theories about the so-called gay gene. Lancaster links the recent resurgence of biological explanations for gender norms, sexual desires, and human nature in general with the current pitched battles over sexual politics. Ideas about a "hardwired" and immutable human nature are circulating at a pivotal moment in human history, he argues, one in which dramatic changes in gender roles and an unprecedented normalization of lesbian and gay relationships are challenging received notions and commonly held convictions on every front. The Trouble with Nature takes on major media sources-the New York Times, Newsweek-and widely ballyhooed scientific studies and ideas to show how journalists, scientists, and others invoke the rhetoric of science to support political positions in the absence of any real evidence. Lancaster also provides a novel and dramatic analysis of the social, historical, and political backdrop for changing discourses on "nature," including an incisive critique of the failures of queer theory to understand the social conflicts of the moment. By showing how reductivist explanations for sexual orientation lean on essentialist ideas about gender, Lancaster invites us to think more deeply and creatively about human acts and social relations. 606 $aSex in popular culture 606 $aScience news 606 $aPseudoscience 606 $aSexual orientation$xPhysiological aspects 610 $abiological explanations. 610 $aexpose. 610 $agay and lesbian. 610 $agender and sexuality. 610 $agender norms. 610 $agender roles. 610 $aheterosexual fables. 610 $ahistory of sexuality. 610 $ahuman nature. 610 $ajournalists. 610 $algbtq. 610 $amen and women. 610 $anature. 610 $anonfiction. 610 $apopular culture. 610 $aprimetime sitcoms. 610 $ascience. 610 $ascientific studies. 610 $ascientific theories. 610 $ascientists. 610 $asex. 610 $asexual desire. 610 $asexual normalization. 610 $asexual orientation. 610 $asexual politics. 610 $asexual relationships. 610 $asocial history. 610 $asocial relations. 610 $asocial sciences. 610 $atextbooks. 615 0$aSex in popular culture. 615 0$aScience news. 615 0$aPseudoscience. 615 0$aSexual orientation$xPhysiological aspects. 676 $a306.7 700 $aLancaster$b Roger N$01479751 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910783172803321 996 $aThe trouble with nature$93779840 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05289nam 22007815 450 001 9910580149703321 005 20260331193856.0 010 $a3-030-98816-3 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-030-98816-6 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC7022392 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL7022392 035 $a(CKB)24088213300041 035 $aEBL7022392 035 $a(AU-PeEL)EBL7022392 035 $a(PPN)26915115X 035 $a(OCoLC)1334421935 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-030-98816-6 035 $a(EXLCZ)9924088213300041 100 $a20220625d2022 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aAgent-Based Business Process Simulation $eA Primer with Applications and Examples /$fby Emilio Sulis, Kuldar Taveter 205 $a1st ed. 2022. 210 1$aCham :$cSpringer International Publishing :$cImprint: Springer,$d2022. 215 $a1 online resource (195 pages) 225 1 $aComputer Science Series 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 08$aPrint version: Sulis, Emilio Agent-Based Business Process Simulation Cham : Springer International Publishing AG,c2022 9783030988159 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references. 327 $aPart I: Introduction and Background -- 1.

Beyond Process Simulation. 330 $aThis book provides a conceptual clarification of the interconnections between agent-based modeling and business process management (BPM) and presents practical examples of agent-based models dealing with BPM and simulation in NetLogo. The book is structured in three parts. Part I starts with the motivation for the work and introduces the general structure of the book. Next, chapter 2 provides a brief introduction to main BPM concepts including the business process lifecycle, which describes the analysis of an organization by means of modeling and simulation, business process performance indicators, and the automatic extraction of information from event data. Chapter 3 then offers a summary of the concept of agent and the studies concerning agent-based approaches that involve business process analysis and management studies. Part II of the book introduces in chapter 4 the NetLogo tool adopted throughout the remaining book. After that, chapter 5 focuses on agent-oriented modeling as aproblem domain analysis and design approach for creating decision-support systems based on agent-based simulations. Chapter 6 further describes the topic of agent-based modeling and simulation for business process analysis. The final part III starts with chapter 7 that reviews some BPM applications by introducing programs enabling to manage models represented in standard formats, such as BPMN, Petri nets, and the eXtensible Event Stream standard language. Subsequently, chapter 8 describes a number of case studies from different areas, and eventually, chapter 9 introduces some examples of advanced topics of process mining and agent-based simulation with process discovery, conformance checking, and agent-based applications utilizing Petri nets. The book is primarily written for researchers and advanced graduate and PhD students who look for an introduction to the fruitful exploitation of agent-based modeling to business process management. The book is also useful for industry practitioners who are interested in supporting their business decisions with computational simulations. The book is complemented by a dedicated web site with lots of additional details and models in NetLogo for further evaluation by the reader. 410 0$aComputer Science Series 606 $aComputer science 606 $aBusiness information services 606 $aApplication software 606 $aComputer Science 606 $aIT in Business 606 $aComputer and Information Systems Applications 606 $aCicle de treball$2thub 606 $aGestió$2thub 606 $aSistemes multiagent$2thub 606 $aNegocis$2thub 606 $aProcessament de dades$2thub 608 $aLlibres electrònics$2thub 615 0$aComputer science. 615 0$aBusiness information services. 615 0$aApplication software. 615 14$aComputer Science. 615 24$aIT in Business. 615 24$aComputer and Information Systems Applications. 615 7$aCicle de treball 615 7$aGestió 615 7$aSistemes multiagent 615 7$aNegocis 615 7$aProcessament de dades 676 $a658.05 700 $aSulis$b Emilio$01245808 702 $aTaveter$b Kuldar 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910580149703321 996 $aAgent-Based Business Process Simulation$92889160 997 $aUNINA
