Overview: Contemporary racism, made more explicit in the Trump era, presents an opportunity to apply a classic theory of “race relations”.Examines white identity in the light of cultural, institutional, and ind.In this third iteration of the classic work .The Impacts of Racism on White Americans .(1981, 1996), a new generation of scholars make the case that racism often negatively affects Whites themselves, especially during the Trump era. In 1981, .Impacts .introduced an alternative understanding of racism, arguing that it went beyond white-black and/or inter-race relations. Instead, the book

Overview: A welcome addition to Palgrave‘s Global Media Policy and Business series, Internet Governance and the Global South documents the role of the global south in Internet policymaking and challenges the globalization theories that declared the death of the state in global decision-making. Abu Bhuiyan argues that the global Internet politics is primarily a conflict between the states - the United States of America and the states of the global south - because the former controls Internet policymaking. The states of the global south have been both oppositional and acquiescing to the sponsore

Overview: .This book constitutes the proceedings papers from the 17th European, Mediterranean, and Middle Eastern Conference on Information Systems, EMCIS 2020, held in Dubai, UAE, in November 2020.

Overview: Throughout its ten related essays, Imagining the Real contrasts our abstract imaginings about the human world with the imaginative insights provided by art and experience. It questions, variously, the relevance of game theory and sociobiology to politics; the supposed intrinsic values of liberal freedom, cultural change, and democratic action; and the claims of Marxism, deconstruction and ‘Theory‘ generally to be non-ideological. More positively, it reinterprets fiction as a specific invitation to imagine, and celebrates Shakespeare, L.H. Myers and Beckett as truly critical, because

Overview: Since the turn of the century, certain parasitic diseases of livestock have frus­ trated efforts to bring them under control by vaccination techniques; East Coast fever and trypanosomiasis are two such diseases. East Coast fever (ECF) kills a half million cattle annually; and 3 million are killed each year by trypanosomia­ sis, which is widely spread over tropical Mrica. Together, these diseases have closed some 7 million square kilometers of land to livestock grazing-land that might otherwise support an additional 120 million head of cattle. In 1970 W.A. Malmquist of the U.S. Depart

Overview: Focuses on practices, technologies, applications, and theories for Applied Informatics and Media Communication.Includes the results of the International Conference on Applied Informatics and Media Des.This book aims to share the theory and practice in innovative human/society-oriented information systems. The purpose of information technology is for people, communities, and societies, and we cannot ignore the human behavior and social features to design better information systems. The book includes the selected papers in the International Conference on Applied Informatics and Media D

Overview: We used to have this saying:"Ifit ain‘t broken, don‘t fix it." That was a pow­ erful piece of wisdom. It meant: "Ifsomething should, against all odds, func­ tion properly, then do not touch it, you might make things worse!" But then, the re-engineering fashion emerged, and somebody whom I used to deeply admire as one of the most brilliant teachers I ever saw at work, when he was still an Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering at the Massachusetts In­ stitute of Technology (MIT), coined the phrase:"Ifit is not broken: break it!" Now that is obvious non-sense on a logical level,

Overview: Since 2002, the Tohoku University Graduate School of Dentistry has proposed “Interface Oral Health Science” as a major theme for next-generation dental research. That theme is based on the innovative concept that healthy oral function is provided by biological and biomechanical harmony among three systems: (1) oral tissues including the teeth, mucosa, bones, and muscles (host); (2) parasitic microorganisms of the oral cavity (parasites); and (3) biomaterials. The concept posits that oral diseases such as dental caries, periodontal disease, and tempo- mandibular disorders should be in

Overview: Ein abgestimmter Einsatz der Kommunikationsinstrumente im Sinne einer Inte­ grierten Kommunikation ist seit geraumer Zeit Gegenstand der Kommunikati­ onsforschung sowie eine in der Praxis verfolgte Zielsetzung. Bereits zum Anfang der siebziger Jahre setzten sich erste wissenschaftliche Beiträge mit der Frage­ stellung einer Verbindung einzelner Kommunikationsinstrumente auseinander. Auch in der Unternehmenspraxis und insbesondere in den Werbeagenturen wur­ de zu dieser Zeit erstmals der mögliche Nutzen einer Vernetzung der Kommuni­ kationsinstrumente diskutiert. Eine intensivere wiss

Overview: Information Theory (IT) tools, widely used in many scientific fields such as engineering, physics, genetics, neuroscience, and many others, are also useful transversal tools in image processing. In this book, we present the basic concepts of IT and how they have been used in the image processing areas of registration, segmentation, video processing, and computational aesthetics. Some of the approaches presented, such as the application of mutual information to registration, are the state of the art in the field. All techniques presented in this book have been previously published in

Overview: Die Kristallelektronik entstand vor nunmehr zwei Menschenaltern aus dem "Detektor" der Funkentelegraphie. Doch fiel sie mit dem Auftreten der Vakuum-Elektronenröhre in einen Dornröschenschlaf, aus dem sie erst durch die Erfindung des Transistors wieder erweckt wurde. In den seither vergangenen, nahezu zwei Jahrzehnten hat sich dieses neue Bau­ element einen wichtigen Platz in fast allen Zweigen der Elektrotechnik erobert. Aus der Notwendigkeit, die Kenntnisse der Transistoreigen­ schaften einem ständig wachsenden Kreis von Technikern aller Grade zugänglich zu machen, entstand rasch e

Overview: The only book-length investigation of the metaphysics of laws involving idealizations.An approach to ideal laws that neither down-plays their status as genuine laws nor invokes controversial metaphysi.This new study provides a refreshing look at the issue of exceptions and shows that much of the problem stems from a failure to recognize at least two kinds of exception-ridden law: ceteris paribus laws and ideal laws. Billy Wheeler offers the first book-length discussion of ideal laws. The key difference between these two kinds of laws concerns the nature of the conditions that need to
