Rape of Lucretia and the Founding of Republics
Matthes (U. of Maryland) stages a conversation between feminism and republicanism to analyze the linkage between "founding stories" of republics, sexual violence, and gender hierarchy. While pointing out the differences in the retellings of Lucretia's rape by Livy, Machiavelli, and Rousseau, she argues that their commonality is in appropriating the classical tale to support the view that the alternative to violence is citizenship and politics infused with common good notions of agency, action, and community.

When Sorrow Comes
Since World War II, Protestant sermons have been an influential tool for defining American citizenship in the wake of national crises. In the aftermath of national tragedies, Americans often turn to churches for solace. Because even secular citizens attend these services, they are also significant opportunities for the Protestant religious majority to define and redefine national identity and, in the process, to invest the nation-state with divinity. The sermons delivered in the wake of crises become integral to historical and communal memory—it matters greatly who is mourned and who is overlooked. Melissa M. Matthes conceives of these sermons as theo-political texts. In When Sorrow Comes,...
Business Information Systems
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 20th International Conference on Business Information Systems, BIS 2017, held in Poznań, Poland, in June 2017. Big Data Analytics helps to understand and enhance enterprises by linking many fields of information technology and business. This year’s conference theme was: Big Data Analytics for Business and Public Administration. The 24 full papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 72 submissions.

The selected papers reflect state-of-the-art research that is oriented toward real-world applications and highlight the benefits of information systems and technology for industry and services. They are organized in topical sections on databases and information systems integration, artificial intelligence and decision support systems, information systems analysis and specification, software agents and Internet computing, human–computer interaction, and enterprise architecture.
Advanced Information Systems Engineering Workshops
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of seven international workshops held in Stockholm, Sweden, in conjunction with the 27th International Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering, CAiSE 2015, in June 2015. The 38 full and nine short papers were carefully selected from 107 submissions. The workshops were the Second International Workshop on Advances in Services Design based on the Notion of Capability (ASDENCA), the Third International Workshop on Cognitive Aspects of Information Systems Engineering (COGNISE), the First International Workshop on Digital Business Innovation and the Future Enterprise Information Systems Engineering (DiFenSE), the First International Workshop on Enterprise Modeling (EM), the First Workshop on the Role of Real-World Objects in Business Process Management Systems (RW-BPMS), the 10th International Workshop on Trends in Enterprise Architecture Research (TEAR), and the 5th International Workshop on Information Systems Security Engineering (WISSE).
Trends in Enterprise Architecture Research and Practice-Driven Research on Enterprise Transformation
This volume constitutes the proceedings of the combined 7th International Workshop on Trends in Enterprise Architecture Research (TEAR 2012) and the 5th Working Conference on Practice-Driven Research on Enterprise Transformation (PRET-5), held in Barcelona, Spain, October 23-24, 2012, and co-located with The Open Group's Conference on Enterprise Architecture, Cloud Computing, and Security. Joining the forces of the two events with The Open Group Conference provided the unique opportunity for an intensive exchange between practitioners as well as for discussions on standardization efforts and academic research in the areas of enterprise transformation and enterprise architecture (EA). Based on careful reviews by at least three Program Committee members, 18 papers were chosen for inclusion in these proceedings. They were presented in six sessions on enterprise architecture management (EAM) effectivity, languages for EA, EAM and the ability to change, advanced topics in EA, governing enterprise transformations, and EA applications.

They are grouped in sections on databases and information systems integration, artificial intelligence and decision support systems, information systems analysis and specification, software agents and internet computing, human-computer interaction, and enterprise architecture.
Molecular Tools for Screening Biodiversity
Mark Chase There are many literature resources available to molecular biologists wishing to assess genetic variation, but the myriad of techniques and approaches potentially available to the plant breeder and the evolutionary biologist is truly bewildering, and most have never been evaluated side-by-side on the same sets of samples. Additionally, it is often not recognized that tools that are useful for breeders can often be adapted for use in evolutionary studies and vice versa, but this is generally the case. The borderline between population genetics and phylogenetics is vague and difficult to assess, and a combination of both types of tools is best when it is not clear with which area on...
