Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book argues that treating politics as war derails essential democratic processes, including deliberation and policy argumentation, in complicated ways. 'Politics is war' is not always just a figure of speech, but often a sincere expression of how people see disagreement-they mean it lite…rally-and they use it to evade the responsibilities of rhetoric. This book takes the metaphor seriously. Using a series of case studies ranging from the 432 BCE 'Debate at Sparta' to Bill O'Reilly's recent invention of a 'War on Christmas,' Deliberating War illustrates pathologies of deliberation that arise when a community understands itself to be at political war. This book identifies recurrent rhetorical strategies that constrain or even effectively prohibit deliberation, such as deflecting, reframing, threat inflation, appealing to paired terms, claiming moral license, radicalizing a base. In short, what seems to be an effective solution to an immediate rhetorical problem-using hyperbole and demagoguery to persuade people to adopt a specific leader or policy-is a trap that prevents democratic practices of compromise, deliberation, fairness, reciprocity. Unhappily, threat inflation-even when well-intentioned--At some point, hyperbolic rhetoric becomes threat inflation, and then that inflated threat becomes the premise of policies, both foreign and domestic. And then agreeing as to the obvious existential threat posed by the Other and uniting behind the obvious policy solution is a necessary sign of being on the side of Good. Once communities become persuaded that they are in an apocalyptic battle between Good and Evil, politics as war can quickly become real war-often with far-reaching and catastrophic consequences.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Schizophrenia Spectrum Disorders (SSD) manifest multidimensionally, presenting a syndromic nature with several symptomatic domains. These are driven by dynamic systemic biological changes that unfold over the course of the disease. Thus far, the diagnosis is solely based on symptoms, which ma…y be rather subjective, moving research toward the search for SSD biomarkers. This book presents a summary of the main hypotheses that have evolved over time to explain the pathophysiology of SSD and that have driven the discovery of associated biomarkers: neurotrophic, neurotransmitter, neuroendocrine, immune-inflammatory, nitrosative/oxidative stress, metabolic, and gut microbiota-brain axis. The book shows the most relevant research carried out in the last twelve years to develop predictive, diagnostic, theranostic or transdiagnostic models based on these biomarkers using the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis. Chapters also discuss how the literature has addressed the development and/or addition of new discriminatory biomarkers to achieve robust and successful results. The book is rounded out with a step-by-step explanation on how to work on the MetaboAnalyst platform, including the meaning of the chosen statistics and how to interpret them in the results obtained. This book is a useful resource for students and scientists involved in the discovery of biomarkers for psychiatric disorders and other diseases.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book constructs the theoretical framework based on a range of prominent social theories to address how juvenile delinquency is socioeconomically constructed. Here the presentation of conceptual details is supported by Chinese literature that rationalises, problematises, and analyses how…left-behind children are vulnerable to premature smoking, heavy drinking and drug abuse and. I critically review all the most recent publications to highlight the most updated socioeconomic structure of juvenile delinquency experienced by Chinese left-behind children. In addition, the author summarises and analyses all the most up-to-date policy recommendations and evaluations concerning the mitigation of left-behind children's juvenile delinquency. The policymaking outputs help inform readers on how Chinese policymakers have specifically been endeavouring to intervene in left-behind children's delinquent behaviours and what policy directions the corresponding policymakers are trending towards in the future.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A catastrophic phenomenon should not be considered a sudden and causeless event, but as a process whose characteristics are continuously changing throughout the entire previous period. This process manifests itself in the form of a trajectory of changes in time of the controlled parameter. Th…is trajectory contains the information necessary for making decisions, both about the current degree of criticality of the system's state and about the moment it reaches its limit state.This monograph discusses the method of searching for such a moment for a controlled system. The methodology consists of two complementary and therefore mutually validating forecasting methods. The first method analyzes the trend of a time series compiled from the results of monitoring the behavior of a controlled object, and the second method analyzes the periodic component, which together with the trend forms the original time series.The monograph considers the following processes as such processes:wear of the cutting tool, leading to defects in the workpiece;development of a manufacturing defect leading to an accident under operating conditions or catastrophe of products that differ in the volume of their production;preparation for earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In this book, Péter Hartl offers a novel and comprehensive interpretation of David Hume's philosophy of religion focusing on various notions of 'true religion' in Hume's overall philosophy and how these ideas relate to various early modern positions on religion, society and philosophy. The ac…count consists of both critical and positive parts of Hume's overall, nuanced position on theoretical, social and political aspects of religion and the philosophical criticism of religion. Hartl criticises the atheist and completely negative readings of Hume's philosophy of religion. Instead of presenting Hume's position as either a radical secularist or closet atheist, Hartl's interpretation builds on the underdeveloped, positive and constructive parts of Hume's account of (true) religion. For Hume, on the one hand, true religion is compatible with or even vindicates minimal theism, and it forms part of philosophy exemplifying intellectual virtues. On the other hand, Hume has a pragmatic stance on the role of religion in society, according to which the government should control religious institutions to reduce the power of church authorities but to retain some positive social effects of religion.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This volume explores violence in bioarchaeological case studies from various cultures, geographic regions, and time periods throughout the Eastern Hemisphere through the lens of Neil Whitehead's concept of poetics. It emphasizes the role and power of performance and ritual in violent acts, an…d how different types of violence are used within societies. Whitehead's poetics of violence model has primarily been applied to Western Hemisphere assemblages and indigenous groups, and this is the first volume dedicated to the application of this theoretical model to Europe, Asia, and Africa.Developed from a symposium organized at the American Association of Physical Anthropologists annual meeting in 2018, this volume keeps a tight focus on the direct link between physical evidence for violence in human remains and the contextualized interpretations of how that violence may have functioned within an individual's society. This type of theoretical interpretation, which treats violence as ameaningful act firmly embedded within its cultural context, rather than as an aberration, is rarely applied to archaeological assemblages and human remains from the Eastern Hemisphere. This is the first volume to offer direct physical evidence for how violence was enacted and understood within different societies in the past. This volume aims to make these rigorous theoretical studies available to students and professionals in archaeology, anthropology, and bioarchaeology, and to provide a model for other researchers to interpret evidence of violence in human remains from archaeological contexts.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book explores Chinese investments in, and cooperation with Pakistan under the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). Analyzing the BRI's Pakistan limb, the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), the book illustrates the hegemonic tug of war between Washington and Beijing in Pakistan. There, C…hina demonstrates its capacity to imprint its modus operandi onto peripheries through channels such as institutions, law, and currency, its economic dominance in production, trade, and finance through the control of quasi-monopolies on high-yielding economic processes (especially renewables and hard infrastructure) fostering trade surpluses which ultimately establish a net stream of inward revenue from Pakistan-as-periphery, military dominance to safeguard these revenue streams and furnish security to Islamabad, and cultural hegemony to socialize it at the level of the individual through media cooperation, state-wide language courses, and foreign education. The book addresses the need for an in-depth and comprehensive examination of a state under the Belt & Road Initiative, and will be of interest to scholars of China, South Asian affairs, international relations generally, and of geopolitics.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book presents an original explanation of the stark contrast between two very different Chinese foreign policy patterns. On the one hand, there is Beijing's hard power actorness related, among others, to territorial disputes and 'wolf warrior' intimidating maneuvers. On the other hand, th…ere are China's peaceful and cooperative actions, well-illustrated by the Belt and Road Initiative. This book shows that this situation is best understood as a consequence of the coexistence of two different Chinese identities respectively associated with the concepts of nineteenth-century-style territorial empire, and twenty-first-century-style postmodern global power. The book contends that in China's case, they form a virtuous circle-characterized by a specific division of labor-as both identities are instrumental to the construction of a new, Chinese-led international order. The book provides a detailed analysis of the genesis, development, features, and interplay of these identities. It is relevant to scholars in China studies, political history, contemporary politics, and foreign policy.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book addresses the phenomenon of rumors about the occult in contemporary Ghanaian politics. Drawing on data from fieldwork interviews and analysis of case studies, it examines:why political rumors in Ghana often focus on the occult;what political-occult rumors accomplish and for whom;the… ways in which Ghanaian politicians use rumors about the occult to gain political advantage; and some of the popular attitudes of the electorate to the rumors. The book demonstrates that political-occult rumors have become important tools in the hands of Ghanaian politicians to gain political advantage over opponents, and the electorate as means to critique the actions and behavior of political actors and the political process, generally. In a nutshell, this book highlights the important role of occult rumors in modern Ghanaian politics, with a particular focus on the period between the late 1970s and present. The main thrust of the argument in this book is that the flourishing of political-occult rumors and the strength of Pentecostalism are related, and that far from being a phenomenon existing on the margins of modern Ghanaian society, the occult is powerful, public and mainstream.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book contributes to the scholarly and policy debate about China's ongoing and increasingly ambitious strategies and actions in its pursuit of the green energy transition. Transitioning to a greener and more sustainable economy has become a shared policy priority worldwide in response to…existential challenges posed by climate change and environmental degradation. After decades of unprecedented industrialization and economic growth at the expense of the environment, this green energy transition now tops China's development agenda. Indeed, China already has years of experience advancing climate policies and institutional and regulatory mechanisms at home and is already a major player in advocating cooperation on climate actions internationally. At the same time, the development of new electrical power systems and the energy internet in China has been shaped not only by China's overarching economic development goals and plans but also by its international engagements and commitments, with the involvement of a diverse range of stakeholders and driving forces.This book focuses on exploring the Legal challenges encountered in the development of China's new power system and energy internet, and takes the power grid enterprises that are at the core of the energy Internet value chain as the hub to deeply explore the role of key players in China's green energy transformation in the evolution of China's climate policies and actions.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book tries to answer the question 'What happens if an AI system makes a mistake while contracting ' by applying an interdisciplinary and comparative legal methodology. It offers a tantalizing glimpse into the intricate web of legal, psychological, and technical phenomena involved, and ho…w they are interconnected within the realm of contractual mistake doctrine as we know it today.It covers a wide range of topics, including the common origins of German and English contract law, the pivotal role of intentions as a prerequisite for effectual contracts in both jurisdictions, the classification of and psychological approach to contractual mistakes, and the complexities of AI's participation in contract law. Particular attention is paid to the juxtaposition of human- and AI-made mistakes from the perspective of information processing. As a result, the book offers a jurisdiction-agnostic framework for AI-made contractual mistakes that can aid legislators and policymakers in their deliberations on the regulation of AI in contract law. The framework considers cultural and historical differences between German and English contract law, and thus proposes an approach that can fit both (and potentially other similar)jurisdictions with minor adjustments.In addition to these novel discussions, the work explores the views of prominent scholars and international experts in the field. As such, it will appeal to researchers and scholars in the fields of law, technology, psychology, and (especially) Artificial Intelligence. By presenting 'a framework for AI-made mistakes in German and English contract law,' Dr. Ismayilzada offers a valuable contribution to the field, inviting readers to explore the uncharted territory of AI and the law. Join the author on this intellectual journey and gain insights that will redefine your perception of contracts in the age of AI.
