Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book takes a philosophical look at traditional technological tools such as hammers and drills as well as the modern: autonomous cars, ChatGPT, smartphones, apps, steam engines, nuclear power plants, computers, and many other systems that surround us. The three main questions tackled are:Is technology neutral Or is the design often intertwined with a Western or gendered perspective What are the ethical risks of AI Is it necessarily biased Is the climate problem linked to smart technologies Is technological determinism correct In other words, is the world controlled by engineers since the digital revolution, or are their inventions merely a product of society Lode Lauwaert and Bartek Chomanski offer an idiosyncratic perspective on technology and AI. The result is a nuanced and critical view of the key themes of our time. This book appeals broadly to students, researchers as well as non-academic audiences for an introduction to the philosophy of technology and AI.'This book explores key themes that all revolve around the idea that technology is not neutral. This is a message for all of us. Because technology is us.'Mark Coeckelbergh, University of Vienna.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Die Skaphoidfraktur stellt mit 90% die häufigste Fraktur der Handwurzelknochen dar. Bei einer verspäteten Frakturerkennung kann sich eine Skaphoidpseudarthrose und nachfolgend eine Handgelenksarthrose entwickeln. Daher ist eine frühzeitige klinische und radiologische Diagnostik unerlässlich. Diese beinhaltet die genaue Schmerzlokalisation und das Nativröntgen. Eine CT-Untersuchung des Skaphoids sollte sich bei Frakturverdacht sowie zum Frakturausschluss und zur Therapieplanung anschließen. Eine konservative Behandlung ist bei stabilen Skaphoidfrakturen möglich, alternativ können stabile Frakturen auch minimal-invasiv operiert werden. Instabile Skaphoidfrakturen sollten operativ versorgt werden. Je nach Frakturlokalisation kommen verschiedene Operationstechniken zum Einsatz. Die operative Therapie der Skaphoidpseudarthrose ist davon abhängig, in welchem Bereich des Skaphoids die Pseudarthrose lokalisiert ist und wie weit die Skaphoidpseudarthrose bereits fortgeschritten ist.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This open access book focuses on the geopolitical competition in the South China Sea, an area with highly concentrated choke points in the Indo-Pacific, presenting ideas and recommendations to manage this competition and foster cooperation to maintain a peaceful and stable environment and promote sustainable governance of the South China Sea and of the Indo-Pacific in a broader sense.The increasingly complex geopolitics of the Indo-Pacific has made the South China Sea the epicenter of strategic competition between the great powers, with a rising China on the one hand and the United States, its allies, and partners on the other. In this strategic chessboard, the South China Sea is a test of resilience of the rules-based international order, such as versus grey zone operations, as well as disruptive technological developments in both traditional and non-traditional domains.The book incorporates foreign policy analysis methods to analyze and forecast key players' goals, intentions, and behaviors within the competitive strategic environment of the South China Sea. The success or failure of managing major power competition in the South China Sea, one of the hot spots of the Indo-Pacific region, will determine the future structure of international relations. In addition, as a dynamically developing region of the world, promoting collaborative ideas, particularly in areas related to conflict management is essential for maintaining a peaceful and stable environment, restoring economic growth, and progressing toward a sustainable future.This book is of interest to politicians, policy-makers, experts, scholars, researchers, and other readers who are interested in how regional issues can shape the global order.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Frans Hals is hailed as one of the three greatest painters of the Dutch seventeenth century along with Rembrandt and Vermeer. Of all seventeenth-century Dutch painters, Frans Hals is also the most controversial in as far as the exact scope of his oeuvre is concerned. Hals's popularity, the lack of technical reference material as well as the differing views among experts as to the exact scope of his oeuvre make works in his style prone to doubts and misattributions. It has led to fierce debates and legal battles about the attribution of paintings done in his style.In this Open Access book, experts from Ghent University, Leiden University, Amsterdam University, Delft University of Technology, the Frans Hals Museum (Haarlem), the Rijksmuseum (Amsterdam), the Gemäldegalerie (Berlin) and the Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York) give surprising new insights into some of Hals's most well-known paintings as well as into some of the most fiercely contested pictures in his style. Their insights result from in-depth study of a wealth of reference material: seventeenth-century sources, advanced technical analyses and newly developed digital visualisation tools.Libri GmbH, Europaallee 1, 36244 Bad Hersfeld 288 pp. Englisch. …

Their insights result from in-depth study of a wealth of reference material: seventeenth-century sources, advanced technical analyses and newly developed digital visualisation tools.'Tummers and Erdmann have produced a work of ground-breaking new scholarship. They combine in-depth art historical study with new technical analyses and data visualisation tools in order to solve current issues in the attribution of paintings by Frans Hals. This book significantly sharpens our understanding of Hals's virtuoso work process, his characteristic workshop practice, and his notion of authenticity. The rich data gathered for the case studies will be useful for a next generation of art historians and connoisseurs: digital tools enhance the human eye in matters of attribution.'Prof. Thijs Weststeijn, Professor of Art History before 1800, Utrecht University'Tummers bravely interrogates the history of connoisseurship and the seemingly never-ending search for attributions of paintings associated with Frans Hals. A series of well-chosen case studies of paintings rigorously subjected to the most current means of examination and scientific imaging by leading experts in the field extends our understanding of Hals, his manner of painting, and the possibilities for aligning traditional connoisseurship with technical studies and techniques. In the process, this book thoughtfully probes the merits, challenges, and potential of 21st-century digital tools alongside the role of visual analysis.'Christopher D.M. Atkins, Van Otterloo-Weatherbie Director of the Center for Netherlandish Art at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. …
