We are in an era of radical distrust of public education. Increasingly, we turn to standardized tests and standardized curricula—now adopted by all fifty states—as our national surrogates

An investigation of the role of educational privatization and technology in the crises of truth and agency.Today, conspiracy theories run rampant, attacks on facts have become commonplace, and systemic inequities are on the rise as individual and collective agency unravels. The Alienation of Fact explains the educational, technological, and ideological preconditions for these contemporary crises of truth and agency and explores the contradictions and competing visions for the future of education that lie at the center of the problem. Schools are increasingly reimagined as businesses, and high-stakes standardized testing and curricula, for-profit charter schools, and the rise of educational AI put capital and technology at the center of education. Yet even as our society demands measure, data, and facts, politicians and news outlets regularly make unfounded assertions. How should we make sense of the contradictions between the demand for radical data-driven empiricism and the flight fro

Based on TD-LTE (Time Division-Long Term Evolution), this book adopts the modular teaching mode and applies the eNodeB equipment of Datang Mobile TD-LTE. Through the specific tasks in each module, it presents such contents as base station products, equipment installation, wireless technology, network testing, network planning and optimization, etc. in a comprehensive and detailed way. This book is divided into four training modules, namely, TD-LTE Equipment Cognition, TD-LTE Key Technologies, Network Test, Network Planning and Optimization. After learning the four training modules, learners can master the basic contents involved in the operation and maintenance of the mobile communications system, such as the hardware structure, maintenance and testing of the base station equipment, network planning and optimization. This book aims to cultivate high-quality skilled personnel who master the testing and optimization skills of base station and meet the requirements of standardized field m
