What is the difference between historical culture and memory culture?
Historical culture refers to the collective understanding and interpretation of historical events, traditions, and customs within a society. It encompasses the tangible and intangible aspects of a society's past, including artifacts, monuments, and rituals. Memory culture, on the other hand, focuses on the ways in which a society actively engages with and remembers its history. It involves the processes of commemoration, memorialization, and the transmission of historical knowledge through storytelling, education, and public discourse. While historical culture is the broader framework of a society's historical identity, memory culture is the active, dynamic practice of remembering and interpreting that history.

Community cohesion in crisis? : New dimensions of diversity and difference
There is an alleged crisis of cohesion in the UK, manifested in debates about identity and 'Britishness', the breakdown of social connections along the fault lines of geography, ethnicity, faith, income and age, and the fragile relationship between citizen and state.This book examines how these new dimensions of diversity and difference, so often debated in the national context, are emerging at the neighbourhood level.Contributors from a range of disciplinary backgrounds critically assess, and go beyond the limits of, contemporary policy discourses on 'community cohesion' to explore the dynamics of diversity and cohesion within neighbourhoods and to identify new dimensions of disconnection between and within neighbourhoods.The chapters provide theoretically informed critiques of the policy responses of public, private, voluntary and community organisations and present a wealth of new empirical research evidence about the dynamics of cohesion in UK neighbourhoods.Topics covered include new immigration, religion and social capital, faith schools, labour and housing market disconnections, neighbourhood territoriality, information technology and neighbourhood construction, and gated communities. "Community cohesion in crisis?" will be of interest to academics, policy makers, practitioners and students in the fields of human and urban geography, urban studies, sociology, politics, governance, social policy, criminology and housing studies.

Same Difference
Poet Ben Wilkinson made his name with incisive reviews for the Guardian.Same Difference is his second book, to follow his football-themed debut, Way More Than Luck (2018), winner of a Northern Writers’ Award and praised for its “formally experimental poems that celebrate even life’s sadness in fresh language†(Ian Duhig). This ambitious new collection from poet and critic Ben Wilkinson finds its author experimenting with poetic voice and the dramatic monologue.Carefully crafted yet charged with contemporary language, the book brims with everyone from cage fighters to boy-racers, cancer patients to whales in captivity. Several poems unpick the preconceptions and prejudices that can inform so many of our encounters – with the world, art, and one another – while others take a sideways glance at everything from male depression to the history of meat-eating; from the philosophy behind athletic competition to surreal yet familiar emotions. Notable here are poems that wrestle with the mystery of failed and successful relationships, both providing moments of transcendence and despair.There are well-observed pieces about sport, particularly the rewards of running, from a noted devotee. Wilkinson has also been deeply inspired by the French symbolist poet Paul Verlaine (1844-96) , ‘stepping into the shoes’ and finding affinity with that poet’s astringent tone and ruthless clarity, borrowing his ‘punchy and musical’ phrasing.These add to the volume’s tonal and imaginative range. While empathetic and often moving, Same Difference is a collection that seeks to undermine the confessional mode, keeping the reader on their toes and asking just who is doing the talking.It is also formally elegant, often using traditional rhyme and metre to weave its arguments. A tough grittiness here is offset by an essential tenderness as in a musing about a mural of flowers by Diego Rivera: ‘But their weight on my back/is the weight of love itself, bright/yet strangely heavy; the faith we all carry/in our tired old hearts…†(310)

What is the difference between culture and ethnicity?
Culture refers to the shared beliefs, values, customs, and behaviors of a particular group of people, including their language, traditions, and social practices. It is learned and passed down from generation to generation. On the other hand, ethnicity refers to a person's identification with a particular racial, national, or cultural group, often based on shared ancestry, history, language, or religion. While culture is more about the shared practices and beliefs of a group, ethnicity is more about the shared identity and heritage of a group.

What is the difference between Deep Learning and Machine Learning?
Deep learning is a subset of machine learning that uses artificial neural networks to learn from data. It involves training these neural networks with large amounts of labeled data to make predictions or decisions. Machine learning, on the other hand, is a broader field that encompasses various techniques and algorithms for computers to learn from data and make predictions without being explicitly programmed. While machine learning can involve simpler algorithms like decision trees or support vector machines, deep learning typically involves more complex neural network architectures and requires a large amount of data for training.
