matciny dary cecilie enger

Poté, co je matka Cecilie Enger v pokročilém stádiu Alzheimerovy choroby přijata do sanatoria, rozhodne se Cecilie dát do pořádku rodný dům. Během úklidu narazí na matčiny úhledně zaznamenané seznamy všech vánočních dárků, které rodina v průběhu čtyř desetiletí nejen darovala, ale také dostala. A ke každému dárku se váže životní příběh nějakého člověka. S pomocí seznamů Enger sepsala rodinnou kroniku od konce devatenáctého století až po současnost. Zároveň se v knize odvíjí příběh Ceciliiny matky, která následkem choroby přichází o paměť i svoji osobnost. Cecilie Enger napsala silný a napínavý příběh nejen o historii jedné rodiny, ale také o možném osudu každého z nás a právem patří mezi nejzajímavější autorky současné norské literatury.

V pořadí již čtvrtá kniha od výživové poradkyně Cecílie Jílkové, která v minulosti vyhrála svůj boj s nadváhou a nyní radí ostatním, jak zdravě a trvale zhubnout pomocí chutných receptů. Kniha je rozdělena na čtyři části pro čtyři druhy strávníků: ženy, muže, děti a prarodiče. "Ženy potřebují jíst něco jiného než muži, protože mají jiný metabolismus a jiné preference," říká autorka. "S dětmi je to ještě složitější, protože je zdravá strava nezajímá a rády mlsají. Navíc jsou ve vývoji, a tak mají specifické nutriční potřeby. Prarodiče zase preferují jednoduchá a cenově dostupná jídla. Často se přitom odbývají a trpí nutriční podvýživou." Kniha obsahuje patnáct receptů pro každou skupinu strávníků s ohledem na jejich specifické potřeby a chutě. "Jíst přitom můžete všechna jídla z knihy, bez ohledu na to, do které skupiny patříte. Celá rodina se tak může společně najíst. Přeji dobrou chuť!" dodává Cecílie.

Everything is mine and is taken from me. That’s what it means to be a girl.Highly acclaimed in Denmark, Girlbeast is a fearless, unsettling, and poetic reimagining of the Lolita narrative, where power shifts unpredictably, and desire and coercion become indistinguishable. In a world that fetishises girlhood, it asks whether a girl be blamed for internalising the roles imposed upon her? Can she wield her youth as power in a system designed to render her powerless?With sharp, fast-paced prose and an addictive plot, Cecilie Lind crafts a daring examination of female agency, sexuality, and the complexities of consent. The novel evokes the idea of the girl as animal – a creature conditioned to be both docile pet and wild beast, torn between submission and rebellion, innocence and desire.Brave, provocative, and unflinching, Girlbeast is a gripping, vital novel for our times.

Z nauky sestry Mary David je cítit nejen nezlomná chuť žít a naplnit svůj život dobrem, ale i vřelé lidské srdce, porozumění pro lidskou slabost a nestálost. Zjevně se v mnohém inspirovala svatou Terezií z Lisieux a také svatým králem Davidem, po němž přijala své řeholní jméno. Až na výjimky v knize najdeme její úvahy nad otázkami, které si nekladou zdaleka jen mniši a mnišky: Jak žít v osobním vztahu s Bohem, kterého nevidíme? Co si počít se svými emocemi? Kde čerpat radost a naději uprostřed zkoušek a nesnází? Jak zvládat život s lidmi, kteří nám nesedí? Jak dělat velká životní rozhodnutí? Co je smyslem utrpení, jak se dá „zužitkovat“, když ho nelze odstranit? Jak vůbec souvisí svoboda a vydanost, svoboda a láska schopná úplného sebedarování? Není divu, že svěží duchovní nauka sestry Mary David oslovuje stále větší množství lidí.

The past two decades have seen an explosion both in the volume of data we use, and our understanding of its management.However, while techniques and technology for manipulating data have advanced rapidly in this time, the concepts around the value of our data have not. This lack of progress has made it increasingly difficult for organisations to understand the value in their data, the value of their data and how exploit that value. Halo Data proposes a paradigm shift in methodology for organisations to properly appreciate and leverage the value of their data. Written by an author team with many years’ experience in data strategy, management and technology, the book will first review the current state of our understanding of data. This opening will demonstrate the limitations of this status quo, including a discussion on metadata and its limitations, data monetisation and data-driven business models. Following this, the book will present a new concept and framework for understanding and quantifying value in an organisation’s data and a practical methodology for using this in practice.Ideal for data leaders and executives who are looking to leverage the data at their fingertips.

What our health data tell American capitalism about our value—and how that controls our lives. Afterlives of Data follows the curious and multiple lives that our data live once they escape our control. Mary F. E. Ebeling's ethnographic investigation shows how information about our health and the debt that we carry becomes biopolitical assets owned by healthcare providers, insurers, commercial data brokers, credit reporting companies, and platforms. By delving into the oceans of data built from everyday medical and debt traumas, Ebeling reveals how data about our lives come to affect our bodies and our life chances and to wholly define us. Investigations into secretive data collection and breaches of privacy by the likes of Cambridge Analytica have piqued concerns among many Americans about exactly what is being done with their data. From credit bureaus and consumer data brokers like Equifax and Experian to the secretive military contractor Palantir, this massive industry has little regulatory oversight for health data and works to actively obscure how it profits from our data. In this book, Ebeling traces the health data—medical information extracted from patients' bodies—that are digitized and repackaged into new data commodities that have afterlives in database lakes and oceans, algorithms, ...

Qualitative Data Collection Tools is a new and unique supplementary text that will guide students and new researchers to design, develop, pilot, and employ qualitative tools in order to collect qualitative data. An often-omitted subject in general qualitative textbooks, qualitative tools form the backbone of the data collection process. Students and new researchers are frequently left to create their own qualitative tools from scratch, an unnecessary hurdle in the qualitative research design process. Author Felice D. Billups has used her experience as a qualitative researcher, and in teaching and advising students about qualitative research, to develop the templates in this book as a starting point for readers conducting original qualitative research. The author briefly describes each method of data collection and offers readers suggestions for using and adapting the qualitative instrument templates within the text. Templates of interview protocols, focus group moderator guides, content analysis tools, document analysis tools, reflective questionnaires, diary and journal logs, and observational rubrics give the reader either a cut-and-paste solution for their own research or a starting point to design their own personalized qualitative tools.

An engaging introduction to data science that emphasizes critical thinking over statistical techniquesAn introduction to data science or statistics shouldn’t involve proving complex theorems or memorizing obscure terms and formulas, but that is exactly what most introductory quantitative textbooks emphasize. In contrast, Thinking Clearly with Data focuses, first and foremost, on critical thinking and conceptual understanding in order to teach students how to be better consumers and analysts of the kinds of quantitative information and arguments that they will encounter throughout their lives. Among much else, the book teaches how to assess whether an observed relationship in data reflects a genuine relationship in the world and, if so, whether it is causal; how to make the most informative comparisons for answering questions; what questions to ask others who are making arguments using quantitative evidence; which statistics are particularly informative or misleading; how quantitative evidence should and shouldn’t influence decision-making; and how to make better decisions by using moral values as well as data. Filled with real-world examples, the book shows how its thinking tools apply to problems in a wide variety of subjects, including elections, civil conflict, crime, terrorism, financial crises, health care, sports, music, and space travel.
