Annual Review of the Sociology of Religion
This volume explores some of the strategies employed by the Catholic Church as a whole to address problems of the global era, in particular the responses and resistance efforts undertaken in a bid to counteract the secularization crisis in both Europe and the Americas, through spiritual writers, World Youth Days and Catholic education.
A Brief Introduction to Continuous Evolutionary Optimization
Practical optimization problems are often hard to solve, in particular when they are black boxes and no further information about the problem is available except via function evaluations. This work introduces a collection of heuristics and algorithms for black box optimization with evolutionary algorithms in continuous solution spaces. The book gives an introduction to evolution strategies and parameter control. Heuristic extensions are presented that allow optimization in constrained, multimodal and multi-objective solution spaces. An adaptive penalty function is introduced for constrained optimization. Meta-models reduce the number of fitness and constraint function calls in expensive opti...
World Youth Day
Can digital games help us understand real life religion? With World Youth Day: Religious Interaction at a Catholic Festival, Skjoldli suggests that they can. The change is particularly visible from Skjoldli's new theoretical framework religious interaction, which draws on digital game studies. The framework centers on three key terms—interaction, interface, and immersion. Interaction constitutes the core of the stipulative definition of religion operative in this framework: interaction with culturally postulated superhuman persons. Interface represents the means by which interaction takes place. When interaction becomes emotionally charged, immersion takes place—whether it happens in rel...
Digital Personalized Health and Medicine
Digital health and medical informatics have grown in importance in recent years, and have now become central to the provision of effective healthcare around the world. This book presents the proceedings of the 30th Medical Informatics Europe conference (MIE). This edition of the conference, hosted by the European Federation for Medical Informatics (EFMI) since the 1970s, was due to be held in Geneva, Switzerland in April 2020, but as a result of measures to prevent the spread of the Covid19 pandemic, the conference itself had to be cancelled. Nevertheless, because this collection of papers offers a wealth of knowledge and experience across the full spectrum of digital health and medicine, it...
Die umworbene Gesellschaft
In diesem Sammelband werden Teilbereiche des Werbemarktes unter besonderer Berücksichtigung neuerer Entwicklungen analysiert, dabei spiegelt das Themenspektrum das Interesse an Werbung in zahlreichen wissenschaftlichen Disziplinen wider. Die Beiträge behandeln sowohl sehr spezifische Themen (z. B. die Wirksamkeit von Product Placement, die Einschätzung von Unterbrecherwerbung) als auch verschiedene Versuche der Zielgruppenansprache. Sie zeigen neue Wege der Werbung auf, die sich mit neuen Konzepten und Zielsetzungen verknüpfen, u. a. zählen die Orientierung an der Erlebnisdimension und der Einsatz der Werbung für Prozesse der Sinnstiftung hierzu. Werbung bewirkt also nicht nur Grenzüberschreitungen, sie praktiziert sie auch.
Ländliche Rechtsquellen aus den kurmainzischen Ämtern Olm und Algesheim
Weistumer, Dorfordnungen und verwandte Quellen vermitteln Einblicke in die Rechts- und Herrschaftsverhaltnisse auf dem Lande, in Brauchtum und Wirtschaftsweisen, Selbstverwaltungsrechte der Gemeinden und obrigkeitliche Reglementierungen. Sie stellen damit eine wertvolle Arbeitsgrundlage fur die Erforschung der landlichen Gesellschaft, Sozial-, Wirtschafts- und Rechtsgeschichte sowie Germanistik und Volkskunde dar. Obgleich bereits im 19. Jahrhundert die Notwendigkeit umfassender Editionen landlicher Rechtsquellen erkannt wurde, gibt es bisher in Deutschland nur aus wenigen Gebieten entsprechende Quellensammlungen. Dieser Band prasentiert die landlichen Rechtsquellen der beiden linksrheinisch...
Germany's Social Market Economy
The essays in this volume have been translated from the German to bring to the notice of a wider public the contemporary views of a group of prominent German economists and lawyers who have all participated in the development of post-war economic policy in the Federal Republic of Germany.
