Religion and National Identity in the Japanese Context
This book focuses upon the relationship between religion and socio-cultural or socio-political aspects in the history of religions in Japan. Religious and ideological justifications in the course of forming a political and national identity, and the mutual relation between political, national and cultural issues can be noticed in every region of the world before the onset of secularization processes, but also in modern nation-states today. In Japan as well, just like in most modern societies, political, cultural and religious elements are closely interrelated. In a comparative approach the sixteen papers in this volume elucidate the intellectual undercurrent in Japanese history of putting positive perspectives on national achievements and cultural-religious uniqueness into service of establishing and refurbishing a national identity.

Information Modelling and Knowledge Bases XXXII
Information modeling and knowledge bases are important technologies for academic and industrial research that goes beyond the traditional borders of information systems and computer science. The amount and complexity of information to be dealt with grows continually, as do the levels of abstraction and the size of databases. This book presents the proceedings of the 30th International Conference on Information Modelling and Knowledge Bases (EJC2020), due to be held in Hamburg, Germany on 8 and 9 June 2020, but instead held as a virtual conference on the same dates due to the Corona-virus pandemic restrictions.

Maritime Risk and Organizational Learning
Bridging an identified gap between research and practice in the domain of risk and organizational learning with respect to human/organizational factors and organizational behaviour, this book highlights the common and recurring threads in contributory factors to accident causation. Based on an extensive research project, it investigates how shipping companies as organizations learn from, filter and give credence/acceptability to differing risk perceptions and how this influences the work culture with special regard to group/team dynamics and individual motivation. The work is presented in the context of the literature regarding conceptual links between risk and the theoretical and operational themes of organizational learning, and in light of interviewees' comments. The themes include processes and structures of knowledge acquisition, information interpretation and distribution, organizational memory and change/adaptation and also levels of learning. The book concludes by discussing some practical implications of the research carried out in various maritime contexts and gives recommendations for the industry and other stakeholders.

ASA - DIE GEBURT EINER NEUEN GENERATION
Die Welt der Zukunft hat sich gewandelt. Das Medikament STIKOLIN lässt Menschen schneller erwachsen werden. Die Pubertät setzt früher ein. Zehnjährige sind bereits erwachsene Menschen und geistig und sportlich viel leistungsfähiger als normale Jugendliche. Die Ungleichheit zwischen Konsumenten und Nichtkonsumenten führt schließlich zu gesetzlichen Regelungen und der Einführung separater Hochschulen, um soziale Unruhen zu vermeiden. Philip ist Teil dieser neuen Generation und zieht 2080 im sogenannten Alphaquartier der Stadt Weinsiedeln ein. Hier befindet sich die NGU, die NEW GENERATION UNIVERSITY. Trotz anfänglicher Schwierigkeiten verliebt er sich in die Studentin Elena, die jedoch kurz darauf schwer verunglückt und ins Wachkoma fällt. Die Spannungen und das Misstrauen zwischen den verschiedenen Generationen sind allgegenwärtig, auch aufgrund der künstlichen Intelligenz ASA, welche als Gehirn der Universität immer mehr an Macht und Einfluss gewinnt. Als diese Spannungen schließlich zu eskalieren drohen, scheint es für Philip und seine große Liebe nur einen Ausweg zu geben ...
Japans neue Spiritualität
Uber die Analyse des spirituellen Diskurses als einem erstmals in dieser Bandbreite gesichteten Phanomen wird ein Psychogramm der japanischen Gegenwartsgesellschaft und ihrer kulturschaffenden Vertreter erstellt. Der Einblick in die Debatten sowie in die Mechanismen der Identitatsindustrie dient dazu, ein differenziertes, zeitgemasses Japanbild zu gewinnen. Vielejapanische Literaten und Denker, Kritiker und Kunstler widmen sich heute der Suche nach indigener Identitat. Diese wird haufig uber eine japanische Spiritualitat definiert. Wahrend sich die Studie den ethno-romantischen, oft einem nostalgischen Nationalismus verpflichteten Selbstfindungs- undSelbstbehauptungsdiskursen der intellektuellen Szene Japans im allgemeinen widmet, berucksichtigt sie anhand von Erorterungen zeitgenossischer Texte bekannter und weniger bekannter Autoren ebenso die literarische Behandlung des Themas Religion.Lisette Gebhardt ist Privatdozentin fur moderne japanische Literatur. Ihre Forschungsschwerpunkte sind Literatur und ihr Bezug zur Religion; New Age in Japan; japanische Ideengeschichte; Intellektuelle, Kulturszene und Lifestyleim gegenwartigen Japan.
