Wittgenstein's Philosophical Investigations is arguably one of the
most influential books of the 20th century. It threw a new light on
the workings of language and mind, contributing significantly to
the understanding of human knowledge. Featuring essays by
internationally renowned scholars, this book explores the
development of Wittgenstein's ideas in the direction of the
Investigations. It offers a comprehensive view of some of the most
disputable issues in the study of Wittgenstein's masterpiece and
reassesses its relevance within contemporary philosophical debate.

Plants constantly cope with unfavourable ecosystem conditions,
which often prevent them reaching their full genetic potential in
terms of growth, development and productivity. This book covers
plants' responses to these environmental changes, namely, the
modulation of amino acids, peptides and amines to combat both
biotic and abiotic stress factors. Bringing together the most
recent developments, this book is an important resource for
researchers and students of crop stress and plant physiology.

Digital health is the convergence of digital technologies with
health to enhance the efficiency of healthcare delivery and make
healthcare more personalized and precise. These technologies
generally focus on the development of interconnected health systems
to improve the use of computational technologies, smart devices,
computational analysis techniques, and communication media to help
healthcare professionals and their patients manage illnesses and
health risks, as well as promote health and well-being. Digital
tools play a central role in the most promising future healthcare
innovations and create tremendous opportunities for a more
integrated and value-based system along with a stronger focus on
patient outcomes, and as such, having access to the latest research
findings and progressions is of paramount importance. The Handbook
of Research on Digital Therapies in Psychosocial Rehabilitation and
Mental Health introduces the latest digital innovations in the
mental health field and points out new ways it can be used in
patient care while also delving into some of the limits of its
application. It presents a comprehensive state-of-the-art approach
to digital mental health technologies and practices within the
broad confines of psychosocial and mental health practices and also
provides a canvas to discuss emerging digital mental health
solutions, propelled by the ubiquitous availability of personalized
devices and affordable wearable sensors and innovative technologies
such as virtual and augmented reality, mobile apps, robots, and
intelligent platforms. It is ideal for medical professors and
students, researchers, practitioners of healthcare companies,
managers, and other professionals where digital health technologies
can be used.
The essays presented here are the outcome of research carried out
by members of IFILNOVA (Institute for Philosophy of New University
of Lisbon) in 2016. The IFILNOVA Permanent Seminar seeks to show
how values are relevant to humans (both socially and individually).
This seminar is the 'place' where different research will converge
towards a unified viewpoint. This includes the discussion of the
following questions: What is the philosophical contribution to
current affairs and decisions that depend crucially on values? Can
philosophy make a difference, namely by bringing practical reason
to bear on these affairs and decision? And how to do it? Which are
our scientific 'allies' in this enterprise; psychology,
communication sciences, even sociology and history? This volume
shows the connection between practical rationality and values and
covers the dimensions ethics, aesthetics and politics.
This book tells the true story about a young man that decided he
was going to beat the moral system of Law. This system included
parents, schools, civil authority and religion. Since he was a
child, he wanted to do it his way. Feeling rejected because of his
low self esteem, his mother's drug problem and the lack of
attention he received from his father, he started using drugs and
drinking at a very early age.
He cared nothing for religion and pushed God aside, yet he would
pray to God to ask help for his mother. This book tells of how
God's love and mercy refused to be weaker than Tony's attempt to
cast Him away. Tony learned how to hide his internal problems by
amusing his friend with outward toughness. He made people laugh to
keep from crying. He beat people up to hide his weakness, and he
sold drugs to prove he could be somebody.
He would have ended up like most people who participate in this
life style; dead or in prison. Although not his fault, he was in a
serious car accident that changed the direction of his life
forever. Without any will of his own to live or die, a God fearing
praying woman was divinely sent to the same area where he lay in
critical condition, even though the area was not anywhere near her
usual route toward home. According to medical examinations/records,
pinpointed operational procedures, negative medical prognosis, and
eye witness accounts, Tony should be dead. No human ability or
intelligence could have kept him alive.
After reading this book, you will discover that you might have
received an undeserved miracle also.

All the chapters in this volume somehow and quite diversely,
directly or indirectly, address the relation of Wittgenstein’s
philosophy, or at least of Wittgenstein- inspired philosophical
thought, with scepticism, here generally envisaged as a many-sided
tradition and not as a uniform and once for all established
theoretical posture.
