This book includes two different titles, which are: Nursing - Nursing is more than just a profession; it is a calling that blends compassion, science, and clinical expertise to promote health and well-being. As one of the most trusted professions globally, nursing plays a critical role in the healthcare system, directly impacting patients' lives and outcomes. This chapter provides an overview of nursing careers, introducing the diverse roles within the field and the various paths one can take to become a nurse. Nurses are at the heart of patient care, often serving as the bridge between patients and other healthcare professionals. They are involved in a wide range of activities, from administering medications and performing clinical procedures to providing emotional support and educating patients about their health conditions. Nurses work in various settings, including hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, community centers, schools, and even patients' homes, adapting their skills to meet the specific needs of each environment. Social Work - Social work is a vital profession dedicated to improving the quality of life for individuals, families, and communities. It encompasses a broad range of practices aimed at addressing social issues, alleviating suffering, and promoting social change. Rooted in the principles of social justice, human rights, and empowerment, social work strives to enhance the well-being of marginalized populations while fostering an equitable society. At its core, social work is grounded in the understanding that individuals exist within the context of their environment. This ecological perspective highlights the interplay between personal, social, economic, and cultural factors that influence people’s lives.Ver livro
Technology is our new life partner. No longer confined to the sidelines, new interactive technologies like AI therapists, avatar friends, and robot assistants are ready to transform technology's role from basic tools of convenience to intimate elements of our social and emotional lives. Blending science, sociology, history, and psychology, Relationships 5.0 asks how recent technological developments cause us to think differently about our family lives, love affairs, and emotional needs. It argues that we are currently living through a technological paradigm shift similar in magnitude to the preceding agricultural, industrial, and informational revolutions in human history. Thanks to the convergence of the cognitive revolution (AI), the sensorial revolution (VR and AR), and the physical revolution (robots), technology can now fulfill emotional, intellectual, and physical needs that have until now been met by other humans. While many are still wary of human-technology companionship, Relationships 5.0 reveals that these novel interactions aren't as risky as we'd once thought, but can instead make our social and emotional lives richer and more diverse. Still, we must ask: What will the age of Relationships 5.0 look like? How should we prepare for such an age? Who might already be ready to embrace these changes, and why?Ver livro
Artificial intelligence surrounds us. More and more of the systems and services you interact with every day are based on AI technology. Most AI is narrowly specific; that is, it can only do a single thing, in a single context. For example, your spellchecker can't do mathematics, and the world's best chess-playing program can’t play Tetris. Human intelligence is different. We can solve a variety of tasks, including those we have not seen before. In Artificial General Intelligence, Julian Togelius explores technical approaches to developing more general artificial intelligence and asks what general AI would mean for human civilization. Togelius starts by giving examples of narrow AI that have superhuman performance in some way. He then discusses what it would mean to have general intelligence, by looking at definitions from psychology, ethology, and computer science. Next, he explores the two main families of technical approaches to developing more general artificial intelligence: foundation models through self-supervised learning, and open-ended learning in virtual environments. The final chapters of the book investigate potential artificial general intelligence beyond the strictly technical aspects. The questions discussed here investigate whether such general AI would be conscious, whether it would pose a risk to humanity, and how it might alter society.Ver livro

In the footsteps of Desert Solitaire, these essays by an award-winning writer and student of culture sift decades of experience backpacking and boating for a stance that questions the mainstream. More than mere tales of bravado, they offer glimpses into the heart of the places explored, with the Grand Canyon as their center of gravity. Vivid, finely crafted, shot through with humor, self-effacing while deeply opinionated, No Walk in the Park shows what it means to meet nature on nature's terms. Listen at home in an armchair, or at a river camp, or before you go wandering. Join this author on a night hike to the great chasm's bottom; trek forty days in his company below one rim, or snowshoe the other; visit a Hopi mesa for a ceremony; marvel at hidden rock art; sip epic solitude; tag threatened fish; and float next to Glen Canyon's slickrock or below Niagara-size fleeting falls.Ver livro
