The Cultural Authority of Science - Comparing across Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas (Hardcover): Martin Bauer, Petra... The Cultural Authority of Science - Comparing across Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas (Hardcover)
Martin Bauer, Petra Pansegrau, Rajesh Shukla
R4,155 Discovery Miles 41 550 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

The cultural authority of science is the authority that is granted to science in any particular context. This authority is as much a matter of image and perceived legitimacy as of statutory guarantee. However, while authority can be charismatic, based on tradition or based on competence, we would assume that science aims to be an authority of competence. To what extent does science have the last word, or stand above opinion on public issues? This Indo-European led collaboration aims to map the cultural authority of science, and to construct a system of indicators to observe this 'science culture' based on artefacts (science news analysis) and espoused beliefs and evaluations (public attitude data). Indeed, through a series of studies the authors examine the cultural authority of science in light of the challenges posed by European, Asian, African and American developments and debates. In particular, two main ideas are examined: the 'Lighthouse' model, whereby science is shining into a stormy sea of ignorance and mistrust; and the 'Bungee Jump' model, which demonstrates how science occasionally experiences a rough ride against a backdrop of goodwill. Presenting expertise in discourse analysis, computer-assisted text analysis and largescale survey analysis, The Cultural Authority of Science will be of interest to a global audience concerned with the standing of science in society. In particular, it may appeal to scholars and students of fields such as sociology of science, science communication, science studies, scientometrics, innovation studies and social psychology.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is an emerging network superstructure that will connect physical resources and actual users. It will support an ecosystem of smart applications and services bringing hyper-connectivity to our society by using augmented and rich interfaces. Whereas in the beginning IoT referred to the advent of barcodes and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), which helped to automate inventory, tracking and basic identification, today IoT is characterized by a dynamic trend toward connecting smart sensors, objects, devices, data and applications. The next step will be "cognitive IoT," facilitating object and data re-use across application domains and leveraging hyper-connectivity, interoperability solutions and semantically enriched information distribution. The Architectural Reference Model (ARM), presented in this book by the members of the IoT-A project team driving this harmonization effort, makes it possible to connect vertically closed systems, architectures and application areas so as to create open interoperable systems and integrated environments and platforms. It constitutes a foundation from which software companies can capitalize on the benefits of developing consumer-oriented platforms including hardware, software and services. The material is structured in two parts. Part A introduces the general concepts developed for and applied in the ARM. It is aimed at end users who want to use IoT technologies, managers interested in understanding the opportunities generated by these novel technologies, and system architects who are interested in an overview of the underlying basic models. It also includes several case studies to illustrate how the ARM has been used in real-life scenarios. Part B then addresses the topic at a more detailed technical level and is targeted at readers with a more scientific or technical background. It provides in-depth guidance on the ARM, including a detailed description of a process for generating concrete architectures, as well as reference manuals with guidelines on how to use the various models and perspectives presented to create a concrete architecture. Furthermore, best practices and tips on how system engineers can use the ARM to develop specific IoT architectures for dedicated IoT solutions are illustrated and exemplified in reverse mapping exercises of existing standards and platforms.

Yet Another Introduction to Dark Matter - The Particle Physics Approach (Paperback, 1st ed. 2019): Martin Bauer, Tilman Plehn Yet Another Introduction to Dark Matter - The Particle Physics Approach (Paperback, 1st ed. 2019)

Dark matter is a frequently discussed topic in contemporary particle physics. Written strictly in the language of particle physics and quantum field theory, these course-based lecture notes focus on a set of standard calculations that students need in order to understand weakly interacting dark matter candidates. After introducing some general features of these dark matter agents and their main competitors, the Higgs portal scalar and supersymmetric neutralinos are introduced as our default models. In turn, this serves as a basis for exploring four experimental aspects: the dark matter relic density extracted from the cosmic microwave background; indirect detection including the Fermi galactic center excess; direct detection; and collider searches. Alternative approaches, like an effective theory of dark matter and simplified models, naturally follow from the discussions of these four experimental directions.

Diplomarbeit aus dem Jahr 2004 im Fachbereich BWL - Bank, Borse, Versicherung, Note: 1,7, Katholische Universitat Eichstatt-Ingolstadt (Lehrstuhl fur Dienstleistungsmanagement), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: In jungster Vergangenheit traten aufgrund eines unzureichenden Risikobewusstseins im Bankmanagement und mangelnder ganzheitlicher Risikomanagementsysteme vermehrt risikobehaftete Verlustfalle in der Finanzdienstleistungsbranche auf. Barings Bank (1995), Deutsche Morgan Grenfell (1996) oder SchmidtBank (2001) sind hierfur international bekannt gewordene Beispiele (Stickelmann 2002, S. 4 ff.; Beeck/Kaiser 2000, S. 634). Bankbetriebliche Umfeldfaktoren, wie hoher Wettbewerbsdruck auf globalen Finanzmarkten, neue Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologien sowie zunehmende regulative Bestimmungen der Aufsichtsbehorden und Gesetzgeber (Erben/Romeike 2003a, S. 43) bewirken eine verstarkte Auseinandersetzung mit der Risikosituation der Banken (Beeck/Kaiser 2000, S. 634). Diese Rahmenbedingungen und die aktuelle Diskussion um die Neue Basler Eigenkapitalvereinbarung (Basel II) des Baseler Ausschusses fur Bankenaufsicht mit einer risikoorientierten Eigenkapitalunterlegungspflicht fur Banken erklaren das grosse Interesse vieler Banken an Managementkonzepten fur ein umfassendes und effizientes Risikomanagement als strategischen Erfolgsfaktor. Da jedes Bankgeschaft risikobehaftet ist (Piaz 2001, S. 3), sind nach Grunbichler (2003, S. 7) Banken mit einer Vielzahl von unterschiedlichen Risiken konfrontiert, die ein ganzheitliches Risikomanagement zur Steuerung aller in der Bank immanenten Risiken sowohl aufsichtsrechtlich als auch bankintern erfordern (Piaz 2001, S. 43). Einerseits stehen Banken finanziellen Risiken gegenuber, die seit Jahren im Fokus der Aufsichtsbehorden stehen und fur die bereits akzeptable Managementkonzepte zur Risikobewaltigung existieren. Andererseits sind Banken mit komplexen operationellen Risiken konfrontiert, die im Rahmen von Basel II zukunftig

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2002 im Fachbereich BWL - Bank, Borse, Versicherung, Note: 1,7, Katholische Universitat Eichstatt-Ingolstadt (Lehrstuhl fur Dienstleistungsmanagement), Veranstaltung: E-Services, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die neuen mobilen Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologien sowie der allgemeine Siegeszug des Internets losen kritische Diskussionen auf dem Markt fur Finanzdienstleistungen im Privatkundengeschaft aus. Sie werfen die Frage auf, ob in Zukunft "die tragbare Filiale in der Westentasche" (Bamberg, 2001, S. 26) vorzufinden ist. Seitdem die mobilen Endgerate, allen voran das Handy, den Massenmarkt erobert haben und zum Kommunikationsmedium des taglichen Lebens geworden sind, fuhrt dies zu neuen Mobilitatsanforderungen an die Finanzbranche und gleichzeitig zu neuen Geschaftsperspektiven. Nach den substanziellen Veranderungen des Bankwesens durch das stationare Online-Banking sowie aufgrund des nachhaltigen Veranderungsprozesses in der Bevolkerung hin zur mobilen Informationsgesellschaft, steht die Finanzbranche vor einem erneuten tiefgreifenden Wandel. Obwohl Mobile Banking zu Boomzeiten der New Economy ein sehr aktuelles Thema gewesen ist und zahlreiche Marktprognosen und -studien auf die erfolgversprechende Bedeutung der neuen mobilen Finanzdienstleistungen verwiesen, ist der anfanglichen Euphorie eine leichte Ernuchterung in der Bankenwelt gefolgt. Inwiefern dieser Wandel gerechtfertigt ist bzw., ob mobile Bankdienstleistungen im Privatkundengeschaft als zusatzliche Vertriebsschiene mehr als nur ein technischer "Hype" sind, soll diese Arbeit aufzeigen. Deshalb wird das im Mobile Business eingebettete Geschaftsfeld von mobilen Finanzdienstleistungen analysiert und Orientierung innerhalb der zahlreichen Bankapplikationen gegeben. Die Bankkunden entscheiden mit ihrer Akzeptanz uber den zukunftigen Erfolg von mobilen Innovationen im Vertriebs- und Kommunikationskonzept der Banken. Daher ist die Gestaltung der Schnittstelle zwischen Bank u

Resistance to New Technology - Nuclear Power, Information Technology and Biotechnology (Paperback, Revised): Martin Bauer Resistance to New Technology - Nuclear Power, Information Technology and Biotechnology (Paperback, Revised)
Martin Bauer
R1,520 Discovery Miles 15 200 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book compares resistance to technology across time, nations and technologies, concentrating on nuclear power, information technology and biotechnology. The focus is on post-1945 Europe, with comparisons made with the United States, Japan and Australia. The main thesis of the book is that resistance is a constructive force in technological development, giving technology its particular shape in a particular context. While many people still believe in the positive contribution made by science and technology, many have become skeptical. The book takes the idea that modernity creates effects that undermine its own foundations, and explores various forms and effects of resistance throughout the postwar period. This presents a unique interdisciplinary study, and includes contributions from historians, sociologists, psychologists and political scientists.
