Soldiers and Their Horses Sense, Sentimentality and the Soldier-Horse Relationship in The Great War

Soldiers and Their Horses Sense, Sentimentality and the Soldier-Horse Relationship in The Great War
Jane Flynn, "Soldiers and Their Horses: Sense, Sentimentality and the Soldier-Horse Relationship in The Great War "
English | ISBN: 036789470X | 2020 | 162 pages | EPUB | 5 MB
The soldier-horse relationship was nurtured by The British Army because it made the soldier and his horse into an effective fighting unit. Soldiers and their Horses explores a complex relationship forged between horses and humans in extreme conditions. As both a social history of Britain in the early twentieth century and a history of the British Army, Soldiers and their Horses reconciles the hard pragmatism of war with the imaginative and emotional. By carefully overlapping the civilian and the military, by juxtaposing "sense" and "sentimentality," and by considering institutional policy alongside individual experience, the soldier and his horse are re-instated as co-participators in The Great War. Soldiers and their Horses provides a valuable contribution to current thinking about the role of horses in history.

Social Work Evaluation Enhancing What We Do

Social Work Evaluation Enhancing What We Do
James R. Dudley, "Social Work Evaluation: Enhancing What We Do"
English | 2020 | pages: 363 | ISBN: 0190916656 | PDF | 13,2 mb
Social workers are increasingly faced with the demands of evaluating their own programs and practice to maintain accountability to funding agencies, secure funding, and remedy a number of social problems facing our society. One of the nine basic competencies required by the social work accreditation agency is to be able to conduct evaluations. Evaluation is a critical area of practice for demonstrating accountability to clients, communities, numerous other stakeholders, and funding and regulatory agencies.

Social Inequality and Social Stratification in US Society Ed 2

Social Inequality and Social Stratification in US Society Ed 2
Christopher B. Doob, "Social Inequality and Social Stratification in US Society Ed 2"
English | ISBN: 0367233290 | 2019 | 486 pages | EPUB | 5 MB
Social Inequality and Social Stratification in US Society uses a historical and conceptual framework to explain social stratification and social inequality. The historical scope gives context to each issue discussed and allows the reader to understand how each topic has evolved over the course of American history. The author uses qualitative data to help explain socioeconomic issues and connect related topics. Each chapter examines major concepts, so readers can see how an individual's success in stratified settings often relies heavily on their access to valued resources―types of capital which involve finances, schooling, social networking, and cultural competence. Analyzing the impact of capital types throughout the text helps map out the prospects for individuals, families, and also classes to maintain or alter their position in social-stratification systems.

Smart Water Heating How Domestic Electric Water Heaters can be used to perform Demand-Side-Management

Smart Water Heating How Domestic Electric Water Heaters can be used to perform Demand-Side-Management
Smart Water Heating: How Domestic Electric Water Heaters can be used to perform Demand-Side-Management By Julian Bruno Bruhn
2019 | 80 Pages | ISBN: 620249011X | PDF | 1 MB
Electric water heaters are responsible for a significant proportion of household electricity consumption. Given their high rated power and storage capacity, they represent promising applications for demand-side-management measures, which could provide economic benefits for households and aid the successful transition of the energy system. This work proposes an algorithm that could control electric water heaters intelligently throughout existing residential demand-side-management programs in Germany, minimizing energy cost while maintaining the habitual health and comfort standards users of conventionally operating hot water tanks are accustomed to. It was revealed, that even once the forecast error associated with seasonal single exponential smoothing is introduced, up to 21 % cost savings can be achieved, without any deterioration of user comfort. The simulation results and estimated low computational resource requirements suggest the economic viability of implementing the algorithm in a locally embedded device and that extensive dissemination of demand-side-management for electric water heaters might be feasible in the current electricity tariff environment.
