Political Participation in the Digital Age
This book explores the potential of the Internet for enabling new and flexible political participation modes. It meticulously illustrates how the Internet is responsible for citizens' participation practices from being general, high-threshold, temporally constricted, and dependent on physical presence to being topic-centered, low-threshold, temporally discontinuous, and independent from physical presence. With its ethnographic focus on Icelandic and German online participation tools Betri Reykjavík and LiquidFriesland, the book offers plentiful advice for citizens, programmers, politicians, and administrations alike on how to get the most out of online participation formats.
Under the Sky We Make
** Los Angeles Times bestseller ** It's warming. It's us. We're sure. It's bad. But we can fix it. After speaking to the international public for close to fifteen years about sustainability, climate scientist Dr. Nicholas realized that concerned people were getting the wrong message about the climate crisis. Yes, companies and governments are hugely responsible for the mess we're in. But individuals CAN effect real, significant, and lasting change to solve this problem. Nicholas explores finding purpose in a warming world, combining her scientific expertise and her lived, personal experience in a way that seems fresh and deeply urgent: Agonizing over the climate costs of visiting loved ones ...
Explainable and Interpretable Models in Computer Vision and Machine Learning
This book compiles leading research on the development of explainable and interpretable machine learning methods in the context of computer vision and machine learning. Research progress in computer vision and pattern recognition has led to a variety of modeling techniques with almost human-like performance. Although these models have obtained astounding results, they are limited in their explainability and interpretability: what is the rationale behind the decision made? what in the model structure explains its functioning? Hence, while good performance is a critical required characteristic for learning machines, explainability and interpretability capabilities are needed to take learning m...

Kein Wohlgefallen
Katja Herzberger beschließt, endlich aus ihrem Elternhaus, in dem es zugeht wie in einer amerikanischen Seifenoper, auszuziehen, um etwas Distanz zwischen sich und ihre zahlreichen anstrengenden und problembehafteten Geschwister und die kontrollwütige Mutter zu legen. An Heiligabend kommt sie aber brav zurück - und nach dem obligatorischen Kirchgang findet die Familie eine Leiche im Garten, einen eher ungeliebten Bekannten der Familie. Zeitgleich werden Katjas Bruder Nick und sein Freund Raphael immer seltsamer und vor allem immer giftiger Katja gegenüber. Haben die beiden mit dem Mord etwas zu tun? Geht es um Geld? Oder um Rache? Katja schnüffelt selbst ein bisschen herum - auch um den netten Kripobeamten Reuchlin zu unterstützen, der ihr zunehmend besser gefällt...
Asian Foreign Direct Investment in Africa
Foreign direct investment (FDI) in Africa by developing Asian economies is growing and has the potential to reach much higher levels. The present report notes that Africa-bound FDI is still a small percentage of the rapidly climbing foreign investments being made by Asian transnational corporations. The rapid economic growth in Asia can be expected to lead to increased Asian investments in Africa, in both natural resources and manufacturing. In particular, the rapid industrial upgrading taking place in Asia provides ample opportunities for Africa to attract efficiency-seeking and export-oriented FDI from Asian economies.
