Technoscientific Research
Unlike the bulk majority of publications on philosophy of science and research ethics, which are authored by professional philosophers and intended for philosophers, this book has been written by a research practitioner and intended for research practitioners. It is distinctive by its integrative approach to methodological and ethical issues related to research practice, with special emphasis of mathematical modelling and measurement, as well as by attempted application of engineering design methodology to moral decision making. It is also distinctive by more than 200 real-world examples drawn from various domains of science and technology. It is neither a philosophical treaty nor a quick-re...
Purposeful
This book is for people who want to believe they can affect change, to help them understand where they have power, and how to use it. Our world of work is changing and we need new lessons on how to adapt to these new values, whether that’s balancing work and family life or empowering women as leaders.

The Digital War
What new directions in China's digital economy mean for us all China is the largest homogenous digital market on Earth: unified by language, culture, and mobile payments. Not only a consumer market of unrivaled size, it's also a vast and hyperactive innovation ecosystem for new technologies. And as China's digital economy moves from a consumer-focused phase to an enterprise-oriented one, Chinese companies are rushing to capitalize on ways the newer wave of tech—the Internet of Things, AI, blockchain, cloud computing, and data analytics (iABCD)—can unlock value for their businesses from non-traditional angles. In The Digital War, Winston Ma—investment professional, capital markets attor...
Making Sense of AI
Industrial robots, self-driving cars, customer-service chatbots and Google’s algorithmic predictions have brought the topic of artificial intelligence into public debate. Why is AI the source of such intense controversy and what are its economic, political, social and cultural consequences? Tracing the changing fortunes of artificial intelligence, Elliott develops a systematic account of how automated intelligent machines impact different spheres and aspects of public and private life. Among the issues discussed are the automation of workforces, surveillance capitalism, warfare and lethal autonomous weapons, the spread of racist robots and the automation of social inequalities. Elliott also considers the decisive role of AI in confronting global risks and social futures, including global pandemics such as COVID-19, and how smart algorithms are impacting the search for energy security and combating climate change. Making Sense of AI provides a judiciously comprehensive account of artificial intelligence for those with little or no previous knowledge of the topic. It will be an invaluable book both for students in the social sciences and humanities and for general readers.
The Female Reproductive Tract Microbiome - Gatekeeper for Sexual and Reproductive Health
An optimal female reproductive tract (FRT) microbiome represents a cornerstone for successful reproductive and sexual health. Although understanding the link between the microbiota and our health is the focus of a growing number of research programs and research has advanced in the last decade, the FRT microbiome remains relatively poorly defined. This is despite it being one of the most critical factors impacting fertility and the health of the future generation. Important gaps in our knowledge remain about women-specific microbial niches, such as the lower FRT. The vaginal microbiome of healthy women is almost exclusively dominated by Lactobacillus species, making these species synonymous ...
