Data Feminism
A new way of thinking about data science and data ethics that is informed by the ideas of intersectional feminism. Today, data science is a form of power. It has been used to expose injustice, improve health outcomes, and topple governments. But it has also been used to discriminate, police, and surveil. This potential for good, on the one hand, and harm, on the other, makes it essential to ask: Data science by whom? Data science for whom? Data science with whose interests in mind? The narratives around big data and data science are overwhelmingly white, male, and techno-heroic. In Data Feminism, Catherine D'Ignazio and Lauren Klein present a new way of thinking about data science and data e...

The 34 revised full papers and 58 revised poster papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 158 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on computer vision; image processing and analysis; medical applications; and pattern recognition.
The Rule of Law in Retreat
In the past decade the Rule of Law developments in the world have become contentious; its idea, concept, and global implementation have met growing resistance, which may soon shift the global balance of power, prompting international crisis. This book offers insights into the globally relevant Rule-of-Law ramifications for human rights, constitutional law, and philosophy of law in the time of such considerable challenges to it. From this legal perspective, the contributors analyze the questions of independence of judiciary, liberal education, freedom of mass media; populism, and corruption. They discuss global civic education, enhanced social inclusion, violence prevention, restorative justice and other methods of civic participation that can create larger opportunities for freedom in a UN world and help overcome increased ideological division between global North and South.
Comparative Analysis of National Approaches on Voluntary Copyright Relinquishment
This report is divided into three main sections.

The second section of the report is a survey of national legislation and jurisprudence on the subject. Finally, the report considers practical issues surrounding public domain dedications by looking at examples of institutions and individuals who might be interested in donating their copyright.
Microbial Endophytes and Plant Growth
Microbial Endophytes and Plant Growth: Beneficial Interactions and Applications explains how modern molecular tools can unlock the plant's microbial network, building the bridge between plant and environment. Chapters describe the usefulness of the endophytic microbiome of different crops, including cereals, vegetables and horticulture, and delve into the latest research surrounding the applications of plant-microbe interactions in improving plant growth. Other topics discussed include root endophytes and their role in plant fitness, seed associated endophytes and their functions, and microbial endophytes and nanotechnology. This is a one-stop resource for scientists wanting access to the latest research in plant microbiology. The book also provides advanced techniques for using multi-omics approaches to study plant-microbe interactions, providing readers with a practical approach. Outlines multi-omics approaches to study plant endophytes interactions Describes the efficacy of endophytes to combat biotic and abiotic factors Defines the prominent role of endophytic microbes to improve plant growth
Elas vão feminizar a internet? O papel e o impacto do ativismo online para o feminismo no Brasil (Will They Feminize the Internet? the Role and Impact of Online Activism for Feminism in Brazil).
Portuguese Abstract: Para os movimentos sociais, a internet se tornou uma ferramenta poderosa. O feminismo se apropriou dela desde os anos 90, quando começaram a formular um ciberfeminismo que afirmava a natureza excepcional do mundo digital. As mudanças dos últimos 20 anos tornaram a internet parte de nossas vidas e nossas vidas parte da internet. Hoje, a rede mundial é um meio para a mídia feminista. É o palco para mobilizações online via hashtags e organização de protestos de rua. E é a infra-estrutura para formular novas ideias que desafiam o discurso da esfera pública dominante. Através da Internet, as feministas revitalizaram o debate, renovaram as práticas e conseguiram forçar a grande mídia a prestar atenção a suas demandas. Com base em uma análise das ações do Facebook durante a semana do Dia Internacional da Mulher de 2018 no Brasil, apresentamos uma visão geral do alcance e do choque entre discursos e contra discursos. Nossas conclusões apontam o caminho para uma agenda de pesquisa e ação, que envolve desde como as plataformas funcionam até as políticas de segurança digital e acesso à internet e ao conhecimento.
Neotropical Endophytic Fungi
This pioneering book focuses on Neotropical endophytic fungi, providing a comprehensive overview of their diversity, ecology, and biotechnological applications in medicine, agriculture, and industry. Despite their rich diversity, the endophytic fungi associated with plants of Central and South American biomes remain largely unknown. The book addresses that knowledge gap by offering insights into Neotropic endophytic fungal community.
