Das Embryonenschiff
Die 33-jährige Computerlinguistin Debria Handsen soll in einem Geheimprojekt der amerikanischen Regierung eine KI entwickeln, um die Kolonisierung eines erdähnlichen Exoplaneten zu ermöglichen. Dabei spielen tiefgefrorene menschliche Embryonen eine Schlüsselrolle. Je tiefer Debria jedoch in das Projekt eintaucht, umso mehr zweifelt sie an der Rechtfertigung für die Verletzung prinzipieller ethischer Grenzen und steht schließlich vor der schwierigsten Entscheidung ihres Lebens.
Grands enjeux contemporains. Quel avenir pour le XXIe siècle ?
Dans cet ouvrage, le but des auteurs est de proposer une synthèse rapide des grands enjeux contemporains en apportant un éclairage sur leur origine et les mécanismes qui gèrent leur devenir. Pour chaque sujet abordé, une fiche présente de façon précise les faits, leur analyse et leurs évolutions possibles, qu'elles soient souhaitables ou redoutées. D'une lecture facile, rapide, claire et synthétique, chaque fiche expose des données incontestées, qu'on peut mémoriser sans effort, puis une réflexion permettant au lecteur de construire sa propre grille de compréhension. Enfin, pour permettre de s'entraîner, un sujet est proposé, accompagné d'un plan en réponse. En quelques m...
Democracy Fatigue
Over the early 21st century, democracy worldwide has deteriorated significantly. At the same time, new populist forces have appeared that challenge democracies through legal reforms. The stark contrast between Eastern and Western Europe in this respect is the focus of this collection of essays. The authors consider the 2008-2012 economic crisis to be at the root of the success of the populist parties and the rise of cultural backlash against liberal values. In turn, European governments’ responses to the crisis—mainly austerity measures demanded by IMF and the EU— help explain desenchantment with the European Union. These policies made the wider public feel that they were being left ou...
Mission in Context: In Search of Asian Strategic Communication of the Gospel
There is a profusion of missional issues emerging in the Asian fields that call Christ's followers to actively witnessing the Truth. Missionaries from different continents have come to serve the Asian nations, and yet, these God's loving missionaries' effectiveness often seem to have left in the shade by some damaging fruits and (sometimes) being too much of Westernness stemming from a diversity of lacking knowledge particularly the local contexts to contextualize, and lack of preparation. The irrefutable finding is appealing within the Asian mission study in regard to the essentiality in equipping the Christians so that the ministries in Asia will experience the effectiveness in cultivating the diverse contexts (cultures) with the text (Scripture) they have. Many principles and practical information from this book grew out of the authors' experiences and the reflection of Missiologists and scholars such as Andrew Walls, Christopher Wright, Kazoh Kitamori, Paul Hiebert, etc.
The Trauma of Doctrine
The Trauma of Doctrine is a theological investigation into the effects of abuse trauma upon the experience of Christian faith, the psychological mechanics of these effects, their resonances with Christian Scripture, and neglected research-informed strategies for cultivating post-traumatic resilience. Paul Maxwell examines the effect that the Calvinist belief can have upon the traumatized Christian who negatively internalizes its superlative doctrines of divine control and human moral corruption, and charts a way toward meaningful spiritual recovery.
Information Processing and Management of Uncertainty in Knowledge-Based Systems
This two-volume set (CCIS 1601-1602) constitutes the proceedings of the 19th International Conference on Information Processing and Management of Uncertainty in Knowledge-Based Systems, IPMU 2021, held in Milan, Italy, in July 2022. The 124 papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 188 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections as follows: aggregation theory beyond the unit interval; formal concept analysis and uncertainty; fuzzy implication functions; fuzzy mathematical analysis and its applications; generalized sets and operators; information fusion techniques based on aggregation functions, pre-aggregation functions, and their generalizations; interval uncertainty; k...
Resignification of Borders: Eurasianism and the Russian World
Eurasianism has proved to be an unexpectedly diverse and highly self-reflexive concept. By transforming the way we describe the Eurasian landmass, it also resignifies our field of studies and its disciplinary boundaries. In this process, Eurasianism itself is subject to a constant resignification. The present volume builds on this notion while pursuing an innovative approach to Eurasianism. The authors advance the well-established positions that view Eurasianism as a historical intellectual movement or as an ideology of Russian neo-Imperialism, and proceed to unpack an innovative vision of Eurasianism as a process of renegotiating cultural values and identity narratives—in and beyond Russia. This procedural approach provides deeper insight into the operationality of the identity narratives and shifting semantics of Eurasianism in its relation to the Russian World.

Memories of the Second World War in Neutral Europe, 1945–2023
This edited volume is a sequel to, and a development of, The Long Aftermath: Cultural Legacies of Europe at War, 1936-2016 (2016). It focuses on the six major European countries and states that remained officially neutral throughout the Second World War, namely Ireland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the Vatican. Its transnational, comparative and interdisciplinary approach addresses complex questions pertaining to collective remembrance, national policies and politics, and intellectual as well as cultural responses to neutrality during and after the conflict. The contributions are from a broad range of scholars working across the disciplines of history, literature, film, media, a...
Animal Models of Behavior Genetics
This stimulating analysis reviews the broad potential of animal models to foster a deeper understanding of human pathology, strengthen connections between genetic and behavioral studies, and develop more effective treatments for mental disorders. Widely-studied and lesser-used species are examined in models that capture features along the continuum of normative and pathological behavior. The models highlight genetic causes of core features, or endophenotypes, of developmental, internalizing, and externalizing disorders, as well as dementia. Expert contributors address questions ranging from how suitable species are chosen for study to the costs and benefits of using inbred versus outbred str...
