Human Rights Human Wrongs In the Scale of Human Conscience

Human Rights Human Wrongs In the Scale of Human Conscience

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is the best gift of the United Nations and its main human rights organ the Human Rights Commission to ā€œWe the Peoples of the Worldā€. But that powerful instrument is often rendered powerless by the behaviour of individuals running the institutions and the states arguably the most powerful institution conceptualised by human mind so far. In the process the UN comes under serious criticism and its most important organ which helped give the UDHR was dissolved for ā€œfailing to live up to its idealsā€. Ironically the same states and their representatives most instrumental in creating the UN institutions including the Human Rights Commission first but later vilifying it and leading the campaign for its replacement by the Human Rights Council are now once again attacking it as ā€œhypocritical and self-serving organisation that makes a mockery of human rightsā€ and the most powerful member state feels compelled to walk out of the Council. Where does the world the UN and ā€œwe the peoplesā€ stand in the search for greater freedom from want and fear better enjoyment of dignity and rights?Travelling through an extraordinary journey of life academic pursuits and expeditions of professional and diplomatic mountain climbing including the Chairmanship of the 56th Session of the UN Commission on Human Rights and its 5th Special Session on the Human Rights of the Palestinian People in the Occupied Palestine Territories Shambhu Ram Simkhada presents a scholarly diplomatic advocate and defender perspectives on the contemporary state of human rights and human wrongs in the scale of his own human conscience.

Being Human Psychological Perspectives on Human Nature

Being Human Psychological Perspectives on Human Nature

While there may be no one single characteristic that differentiates humans as a species it is the combination of differences from other species that makes us unique. The new edition of Being Human examines the psychology of being human through exploring different psychological traditions alongside philosophy and evolutionary theory covering themes such as culture cognition language morality and society. Our nature – or ā€˜essence’ – is something that has preoccupied human beings throughout our history beginning with philosophy and religion and continuing through the biological social and psychological sciences. Being Human begins by describing some of the major philosophical accounts of human nature from Ancient Greek philosophers such as Plato and Aristotle to major British and Continental philosophers such as Locke and Nietzsche. The book considers religious accounts of human nature with their focus on the nature of good and evil and scientific accounts of genetics and the brain which underpin the distinctively human cognitive ability of language. Attention then turns to the ideas of the behaviourists such as Skinner Freud and other psychodynamic psychologists and humanistic-phenomenological psychologists such as Maslow. Finally human culture is discussed as the ultimate defining characteristic of human beings: culture represents our ā€˜natural habitat’ and what defines us as a species. This updated second edition includes increased coverage of social psychology and has a broader scope in order to identify the defining characteristics of human beings. With reference to current psychological research and philosophical material this is fascinating reading for students of psychology philosophy and the social sciences. | Being Human Psychological Perspectives on Human Nature

Human Scent Evidence

Human Scent Evidence

During the last decade a significant number of scientific studies have supported the use of human scent as a biometric tool and indicator of the presence or absence of an individual at a crime scene. These findings even extend to conducting scent identification line-ups with suspects. Human Scent Evidence focuses on some of these recent advances in the use of human scent as forensic evidence and as an identifier. Topics include:Various theories of human odor productionThe variability stability and persistence of human scent Historical aspects of the use of human scent in police work in the United States and internationallyCurrent trends in scent collection techniques including devices materials and storage protocolsChemical aspects of the evaluation of human scent including instrumental methods for odor detection and analysisThe legal significance of human scent evidence resultsCanine scent work from multiple search categories as described in the Scientific Working Group on Dog and Orthogonal detector Guidelines (SWGDOG)Human scent evidence may be of critical use in many cases where other types of evidence such as DNA fingerprints or fibers are not readily available. As such it can be a valuable tool in forensic investigations. With examples from North and South America and Europe this book draws upon an extensive literature review of past and current research and is enhanced with findings from the authors’ own research. It concludes with a glimpse of the future direction of human scent evidence in the forensic field and its application as a biometric and diagnostic tool.

Engineering Psychology and Human Performance

Engineering Psychology and Human Performance

Forming connections between human performance and design this new edition of Engineering Psychology and Human Performance examines human–machine interaction. The book is organized directly from a psychological perspective of human information processing and chapters correspond to the flow of information as it is processed by a human being—from the senses through the brain to action—rather than from the perspective of system components or engineering design concepts. Upon completing this book readers will be able to identify how human ability contributes to the design of technology; understand the connections within human information processing and human performance; challenge the way they think about technology’s influence on human performance; and show how theoretical advances have been or might be applied to improving human–machine interactions. This new edition includes the following key features: A new chapter on research methods Sections on interruption management and distracted driving as cogent examples of applications of engineering psychology theory to societal problems A greatly increased number of references to pandemics technostress and misinformation New applications Amplified emphasis on readability and commonsense examples Updated and new references throughout the text This book is ideal for psychology and engineering students as well as practitioners in engineering psychology human performance and human factors.
