How far would you go to keep a promise? Told from alternating points of view, Hidden Truths is a story of changing friendships, the lies we tell, the secrets we keep, and the healing power of forgiveness.Dani and Eric have been best friends since Dani moved next door in second grade. They bond over donuts, comic books, and camping on the Cape.Until one summer when everything changes.Did Eric cause the accident that leaves Dani unable to do the one thing in the world she most cares about? The question plagues him, and he will do anything to get answers about the explosion that injured her. But Dani is hurting too much to want Eric to pursue the truth—she just wants to shut him out and move on. Besides, Eric has a history of dropping things he starts. Eric knows that and is determined that this will be the one time he follows through.But what if his pursuit brings him into direct conflict with another friend? Where does Eric’s loyalty really lie?

Hong Kong and Macau have both been Special Administrative Regions of China since 1999. To this day, however, the two SARs and mainland China have yet to form a cohesive agreement for extradition. Yanhong Yin proposes a theoretical model—the China Arrest Warrant—that fulfils three essential criteria: compliance with the framework of “One Country, Two Systems,” allowance for differences within the three divergent legal systems, and sufficient human rights protection.This model takes direct inspiration from the European Arrest Warrant, which is undergirded by the principle of mutual recognition—the idea that while states may make different decisions on a wide range of matters, results will be accepted as equivalent to decisions made by one’s own state. The success of the European Union’s adoption of mutual recognition across political, economic, and legal situations is instrumental in providing a blueprint for judicial cooperation among mainland China, Hong Kong SAR, and Macau SAR.

This book summarizes the current status of theoretical and experimental progress in 2 dimensional graphene-like monolayers and few-layers of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs). Semiconducting monolayer TMDCs, due to the presence of a direct gap, significantly extend the potential of low-dimensional nanomaterials for applications in nanoelectronics and nano-optoelectronics as well as flexible nano-electronics with unprecedented possibilities to control the gap by external stimuli. Strong quantum confinement results in extremely high exciton binding energies which forms an interesting platform for both fundamental studies and device applications. Breaking of spatial inversion symmetry in monolayers results in strong spin-valley coupling potentially leading to their use in valleytronics.Starting with the basic chemistry of transition metals, the reader is introduced to the rich field of transition metal dichalcogenides. After a chapter on three dimensional crystals and a descri

Service users often say that the traits they most value in social workers are their ability to be non-judgmental, their listening skills and their sense of fairness: their strong ethical value base. But how can social workers ensure the decisions they make are ethically sound?This book offers guidelines to negotiating ethical dilemmas in various social work settings; from direct care work with individual service users to working within organisational and multidisciplinary contexts. It provides social workers with useful frameworks within which to re-visit their personal value base and enable more reflective, and therefore more effective, practice. Case studies and questionnaire style chapters encourage reassessment of values including views on abortion, female genital mutilation, drug and alcohol misuse and homosexuality. By assessing a range of dilemmas at both personal and organisational levels, this book offers the tools and resources to enable professionals and students to self-man

本書是『遊戲設計與開發系列』的第一本書，主要教導新手與初階使用者之讀者熟悉使用Python進行程式開發，配合Pygame套件進入遊戲設計與開發的實際應用，主要目的是提供初學者可以一步一步安裝好Python程式開發環境，安裝與設定Pygame套件的遊戲開發與設定等等。 目前已經有許多Pygame遊戲開發的網路教學影片與許多文章與討論，由於Pygame遊戲開發充分使用到Python物件導向程式設計與開發的許多技巧，對於學習高階的Python物件導向程式攥寫有許多助益，PyGame是一個用於開發2D遊戲的Python套件模組，它為遊戲開發者提供了簡單易用的API。 PyGame這個套件建立在SDL（Simple Direct Media Layer）之上，並且能夠處理多種多媒體任務，如音頻、視覺效果、輸入控制等，適合用來創建遊戲、模擬器或其他多媒體應用，雖然目前遊戲設計與開發仍是以C與C++語言為主，但是由於C與C++語言入門雖不難，但是要深入C與C++語言後，可以進行遊戲開發，其門檻對許多專業程式開發人員仍然需要多年的訓練與多年不懈的努力才能有基本遊戲開發的程式攥寫技能，然而遊戲設計除了開發工具熟悉與專業之外，對於遊戲設計的領域知識與獨門技巧，尤其對於圖片、影音、人機介面操控與遊戲繪圖時脈與禎數整合與各種程序分時多工的設計技巧，更是C與C++語言之更深入的高階技巧，致使使用C與C++語言開發遊戲成為及少數專業程式開發人員可以進入的領域。 本書是Python之Pygame遊戲設計中基礎入門書，後續筆者會針對不同遊戲，單獨針對每一種不同類型與獨特的遊戲開發例子，會獨立設計專書來帶領讀者進入遊戲專業開發的殿堂。

國立中央大學和余紀忠文教基金會聯合主辦的「余紀忠講座」，2022年邀請中央研究院賀曾樸士主講〈史上首張直接觀測到的黑洞影像〉（First Direct Image of a Black Hole）。賀院士曾任中央研究院天文所籌備處主任及所長，協助該院參與世界幾個大型且重要的望遠鏡計畫，目前擔任東亞天文臺臺長。在本講座中，賀院士首先引用龍應台〈最後的下午茶〉對於余紀忠先生的頌讚，借喻科學研究精神，並以此展開精彩的演講。他從愛因斯坦提出廣義相對論，認為黑洞乃時空的特殊結構開始，說到觀測上如何以獨特的優異儀器與方法來偵測黑洞存在。賀院士進一步說明如何偵測黑洞或極緻密天體所產生的重力波，經過了科學家與工程師數十年努力，終於在2016年偵測到重力波。賀院士帶領臺灣團隊參與了2019年4月「事件視界望遠鏡」計畫，首次「看見」黑洞影像，將臺灣天文及天文物理學帶向國際研究頂尖。演講中賀院士說明自己參與這些研究計畫的心路歷程，提醒科學研究要高瞻遠矚，且有宏觀的胸懷，期勉臺灣在天文以及科學領域未來會有更卓越的成果。

Standing out from all other books on direct democracy, Citizenship and Contemporary Direct Democracy connects the study of direct democracy to the broader field of comparative democratization and to an important strand in normative democratic theory. Analyzing the relationship between direct democracy and representative government, this book is organized around three main sections: the origins of contemporary direct democracy, its functioning, and the ways to improve the use of direct democracy and its abuse. David Altman argues that citizen-initiated mechanisms of direct democracy constitute an important and viable way to re-invigorate current representative regimes by strengthening democracies' normative foundations - freedom and equity among citizens - which are particularly fragile in the context of unequal societies. Citizenship and Contemporary Direct Democracy demonstrates how citizen-initiated mechanisms of direct democracy empowers citizens, channels social demands, defuses vi
