Land use and land cover (LULC) as well as its changes (LUCC) are an interplay between bio-geophysical characteristics of the landscape and climate as well as the complex human interaction including its different patterns of utilization superimposed on the natural vegetation. LULC is a core information layer for a variety of scientific and administrative tasks(e.g. hydrological modelling, climate models, land use planning).In particular in the context of climate change with its impacts on socio-economic, socio-ecologic systems as well as ecosystem services precise information on LULC and LUCC are mandatory baseline datasets required over large areas. Remote sensing can provide such information on different levels of detail and in a homogeneous and reliable way. Hence, LULC mapping can be regarded as a prototype for integrated approaches based on spaceborne and airborne remote sensing techniques combined with field observations. The book provides for the first time a comprehensive view of various LULC activities focusing on European initiatives, such as the LUCAS surveys, the CORINE land covers, the ESA/EU GMES program and its resulting Fast-Track- and Downstream Services, the EU JRC Global Land Cover, the ESA GlobCover project as well as the ESA initiative on Essential Climate Variables. All have and are producing highly appreciated land cover products. The book will cover the operational approaches, but also review current state-of-the-art scientific methodologies and recommendations for this field. It opens the view with best-practice examples that lead to a view that exceeds pure mapping, but to investigate into drivers and causes as well as future projections.

Between Moral Hazard and Legal Uncertainty - Ethical, Legal and Societal Challenges of Human Genome Editing (Paperback, 1st ed.... Between Moral Hazard and Legal Uncertainty - Ethical, Legal and Societal Challenges of Human Genome Editing (Paperback, 1st ed. 2018)

Genome Editing Techniques are seen to be at the frontier of current research in the field of emerging biotechnologies. The latest revolutionary development, the so-called CRISPR technology, represents a paradigmatic example of the ambiguity of such techniques and has resulted in an international interdisciplinary debate on whether or not it is necessary to ban the application of this technique by means of a moratorium on its use for human germline modifications, particularly in human embryos in the reproduction process. However, given that other germline engineering techniques like mitochondrial (mt) DNA transfer techniques are already permitted and applied, the question arises what lies at the root of the apparent social unease about the modification of the human germline by Genome Editing Techniques like CRISPR. Against this background, the book seeks to make a substantial contribution to the current debate about a responsible and participatory framework for research on emerging biotechnologies by analysing underlying perceptions, attitudes, arguments and the reasoning on Genome Editing Techniques.

Synthetic Biology and the Question of Public Participation - Governance and Ethics in Dealing with Emerging Technologies... Synthetic Biology and the Question of Public Participation - Governance and Ethics in Dealing with Emerging Technologies (Paperback, 1st ed. 2023)

The book considers the relationship between governance and participation, and the ways participation has been understood, framed and applied in the context of synthetic biology (SB) governance approaches. Based on fundamental questions about the scope, purpose, and responsibilities assigned to public participation activities, the authors conducted an literature review of policy reports and articles on SB governance. The authors identify key characteristics of synthetic biology, such as the complex interplay of research, engineering and IT expertise in the field, as well as the challenges these characteristics pose in designing governance frameworks. Drawing on insights from a literature review, the authors contest calls for "earlier" and "more" participation on the basis that such calls fail to consider the necessary structural adjustments and resources needed for such endeavors. The brief addresses ethical questions arising in synthetic biology that could be used for developing frameworks of governance in the ongoing COVID-19 crisis and the consequent innovations in vaccine research.

Individualized Medicine Between Hype and Hope - Exploring Ethical and Societal Challenges for Healthcare (Paperback): Peter... Individualized Medicine Between Hype and Hope - Exploring Ethical and Societal Challenges for Healthcare (Paperback)

R885 Discovery Miles 8 850 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

"Individualized medicine" is a catchphrase currently used to denote efforts in medical research and practice to establish tailored healthcare. The vision of "personalized" medicine has proved to be highly ambivalent, reflecting hype and hope - compared to the great expectations only very few applications have been realized up to now. The contributions to this volume discuss the challenges for patients, doctors, and the healthcare system and examine ethical and societal issues arising from one the most promising and most controversial developments in medical science and biotechnology.

In diesem Open-Access-Buch untersuchen wir, was Datensouveranitat aus ethischer und rechtlicher Perspektive bedeuten kann und entwickeln mittels des Modells der dynamischen Einwilligung konkrete Governance-Ansatze fur den Gesundheitsbereich. Im Zeitalter der Digitalisierung stellt uns der verantwortungsvolle Umgang mit Daten vor eine Herausforderung: Moegliche Fortschritte in Forschung, Versorgung und oeffentlicher Gesundheit rufen Fragen von Datenschutz und Kontrollanspruchen auf. Ein normatives Leitkonzept, das in den vergangenen Jahren beim Umgang mit Daten in den Vordergrund tritt, ist Datensouveranitat.

Examensarbeit aus dem Jahr 2009 im Fachbereich Padagogik - Schulpadagogik, Note: 2,5, Padagogische Hochschule Freiburg im Breisgau, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Ich werde im Folgenden beschreiben, wie keramische Produkte hergestellt werden und wie sie sich im Laufe der Geschichte entwickelt haben. In einem weiteren Schritt mochte ich dabei auch wichtige Begriffe einbringen und deren Bedeutung erklaren. Im ersten Teil mochte ich unter anderem Fragen beantworten wie: Was ist Keramik? Welche Unterschiede gibt es zwischen den verschiedenen Produkten? Wird bei der Herstellung nur Ton verwendet, oder gibt es auch andere Rohstoffe? Wie erhalten die verschiedenen Produkte ihre Form? Warum muss Keramik gebrannt werden? Was passiert beim Brennen uberhaupt? Nachdem diese Fragen beantwortet sind, folgt im Hauptteil meiner wissenschaftlichen Arbeit, die Verortung im Bildungsplan und meine Einschatzung, wie relevant dieses Thema fur die Schulerinnen und Schuler in der Hauptschule ist. Abwechselnd werde ich hierbei die wichtigsten Epochen in der historischen Entwicklung der Keramik aufzeigen und beschreiben und zu jeder Epoche didaktische Uberlegungen anstellen. Die historische Entwicklung beginnt bei den Anfangen des keramischen Handwerks, etwa 20 000 Jahre vor Christus und beschreibt die wichtigsten Entwicklungen und Erfindungen, die bis zur heutigen Zeit gemacht wurden. Mein Ziel ist es, die wichtigsten und relevantesten Entwicklungen und Neuerungen im Umgang mit Keramik herauszuarbeiten und ihre Relevanz und Umsetzung fur den Unterricht an der Hauptschule zu prufen. Im letzten Kapitel der Geschichte zeige ich, in welchen Bereichen die Keramik heute Verwendung findet und warum sie fur andere Fachgebiete so unverzichtbar ist. Meine didaktischen Uberlegungen sollen Moglichkeiten darstellen, wie das jeweilige historische Kapitel im Unterricht bearbeitet werden konnte. Die vorgeschlagenen Methoden sollen dabei helfen, den Technikunterricht fur die Schuler interessant und lehrreich
