Handbook Industry 4.0
The handbook presents an overview of Industry 4.0 and offers solutions for important practical questions. The law and its current challenges regarding data assignment (who owns the data? / EU guidelines), data security, data protection (General Data Protection Regulation), cyberattacks, competition law (right to access vs. monopolists, permissible and prohibited exchanges of information, possible collaborations) is the point of departure. In turn, the book explores peculiarities in specific areas of Industry 4.0 (Internet of Production, mechanical engineering, artificial intelligence, electromobility, autonomous driving, traffic, medical science, construction, energy industry, etc.). The book’s closing section addresses general developments in management, the digital transformation of companies and the world of work, and ethical questions.
Roads of Her Own
Reading Jack Kerouac's classic On the Road through Virginia Woolf's canonical A Room of One's Own, the author of this book examines a genre in North American literature which, despite its popularity, has received little attention in literary and cultural criticism: women's road narratives. The study shows how women's literature has inscribed itself into the American discourse of the Whitmanesque "open road", or, more generally, the "freedom of the road". Women writers have participated in this powerful American myth, yet at the same time also have rejected that myth as fundamentally based on gendered and racial/ethnic hierarchies and power structures, and modified it in the process of writin...
Cultural Perspectives on Aging
Current demographic developments and change due to long life expectancies, low birth rates, changing family structures, and economic and political crises causing migration and flight are having a significant impact on intergenerational relationships, the social welfare system, the job market and what elderly people (can) expect from their retirement and environment. The socio-political relevance of the categories of ‘age’ and ‘ageing’ have been increasing and gaining much attention within different scholarly fields. However, none of the efforts to identify age-related diseases or the processes of ageing in order to develop suitable strategies for prevention and therapy have had any e...
Aging between Participation and Simulation
With increasing urgency, decisions about the digitalized future of healthcare and implementations of new assistive technologies are becoming focal points of societal and scientific debates and addresses large audiences. Decisions require a careful weighing of risks and benefits and contextualizing in-depth ethical analysis with robust empirical data. However, up to now, research on social assistive technologies is mostly dispersed over different academic fields and disciplines. A comprehensive overview on discussions regarding values at stake and ethical assessment of recent developments especially in healthcare is largely missing. This publication initiates an interdisciplinary discourse on...

Digitalisierung – Krisen.Leid.Trauer 2.0
Digitalisierung und Künstliche Intelligenz sind heute in aller Munde. Viele denken dabei an selbstfahrende Autos und selbstdenkende Roboter, wobei hier die Zukunft die Gegenwart schon berührt. Längst jedoch bestimmen digitale Prozesse und Kommunikationen den Arbeitsalltag in den Gesundheitsberufen. Was ist schon Routine, was erleichtert den Alltag, wo herrschen Ängste und berechtigte Skepsis? Diese Ausgabe von Leidfaden spannt den Bogen vom Klinikinformationssystem und vom Pflegeroboter über die algorithmische Entscheidungsfindung in Medizin und Pflege bis zur Seelsorge und Therapie in sozialen Netzwerken. Und was alle angeht: Was geschieht mit unserem digitalen Nachlass? Alle Beiträge in diesem Heft stammen nicht von intelligenten Schreibrobotern, sondern von Fachleuten aus Fleisch und Blut.
As German as Kafka
Since the turn of the 21st century, countless literary endeavors by 'new Germans' have entered the spotlight of academic research. Yet 'minority writing', with its distinctive renegotiation of traditional concepts of cultural identity, is far from a recent phenomenon in German literature. A hundred years previously, the intense involvement of German-Jewish intellectuals in cultural and political discourses on Jewish identity put a clear stamp on German modernism. This book is the first to unfold literary parallels between these two riveting periods in German cultural history. Drawing on the philosophical oeuvre of Jean-Luc Nancy, a comparative reading of texts by, amongst others, Beer-Hofmann, Kermani, Özdamar, Roth, Schnitzler, and Zaimoglu examines a variety of literary approaches to the thorny issue of cultural identity, while developing an overarching perspective on the ‘politics of literature’.
Corporate Governance in der Diakonie
In jüngster Zeit geraten zunehmend die Leitungs- und Kontrollstrukturen in den Blick, wenn es gilt, die Wettbewerbsfähigkeit diakonischer Organisationen zu sichern. Doch geht es um mehr als Effizienz: Corporate Governance berührt die Legitimität und Identität diakonischer Organisationen in ihrem Kern, theologisch-ethische, fachliche, rechtliche und ökonomische Logiken müssen ausbalanciert werden. Die Verbindung von Management-Perspektiven mit theologischen und ethischen Ansätzen bietet fundierte Einsichten in und vielfältige Anregungen für die Arbeit diakonischer Aufsichtsgremien.
Learning and Using Multiple Languages
This volume brings together the latest findings from research on multilingual language learning and use in multilingual communities. Suzanne Flynn, Håkan Ringbom and Larissa Aronin are some of the prestigious scholars who have contributed to this book. As argued by this last author in her chapter, although multilingualism has always existed, the important changes that research on this phenomenon has recently undergone, like that of adopting a multilingual perspective in its studies, should always be borne in mind. This volume considers the languages of multilingual communities, as well as the interaction among them. As such, the chapters adopt a multilingual approach that guides the analysi...
