Prompted by the 2017 commemoration of the 500th anniversary of the
Protestant Reformation, this book examines the legacy of Martin
Luther in the life, work, and reception of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, the
most widely read modern Lutheran theologian. Framing the
commemoration of the Reformation in conversation with Bonhoeffer's
legacy places much more than Bonhoeffer's connection to Luther at
stake. Given the fraught relationship of the Lutheran Bonhoeffer
with the German Protestant Church under National Socialism, the
question inevitably arises: "What happened to Luther's church in
Germany?" This in turn prompts the question: "How did the
Protestant tradition play out in public life in other nations?" And
these historical issues in turn encourage reflection on a question
that exercised both Luther and Bonhoeffer: "What will be the shape
of the church in the future?" In these pages, an international
group of scholars and practitioners from both church and state
pursues these questions.
Bioconductor is a widely used open source and open development
software project for the analysis and comprehension of data arising
from high-throughput experimentation in genomics and molecular
biology. Bioconductor is rooted in the open source statistical
computing environment R. This volume's coverage is broad and ranges
across most of the key capabilities of the Bioconductor project,
including importation and preprocessing of high-throughput data
from microarray, proteomic, and flow cytometry platforms: Curation
and delivery of biological metadata for use in statistical modeling
and interpretationStatistical analysis of high-throughput data,
including machine learning and visualizationModeling and
visualization of graphs and networksThe developers of the software,
who are in many cases leading academic researchers, jointly

In the twenty-first century the basic questions of ethics are no
longer the abstract terms of ethical theory, but the concrete and
burning issues related to the influence of life sciences, the
impact of a globalized economy, and the consequences of present
decisions for the future of humankind. Ethics: The Fundamental
Questions of Our Lives analyzes twenty ethical issues that address
education and culture, labor and economy, the environment and
sustainability, democracy and cosmopolitanism, peace and war, and
life and death. Each chapter describes a concrete example showing
the relevance of the fundamental ethical question, then provides an
explanation of how one can think through possible responses and
reactions. Huber emphasizes the connections between personal,
professional, and institutional ethics and demonstrates how human
relationships lie at the center of our ethical lives. His aim is to
articulate a theology of what he calls "responsible freedom" that
transcends individualistic self-realization and includes communal
obligations.
In 1934, during the Nazi regime in Germany, members of the
Confessing Church issued the Declaration of Barmen, which
reaffirmed their primary loyalty to the word of God. With their
action, they established a legacy for future generations to follow
in similar situations.This volume examines the historical,
political, and theological context of the creation of the Barmen
Declaration, as it constituted an act of theological and political
resistance against tyranny, terror, and fascism. The work of the
Barmen Declaration demonstrated clearly and powerfully the
"this-worldly" ethical and political salience of religion and
theology to empower witness, resistance, and solidarity. Containing
contributions from an inclusive array of renowned scholars, the
volume unfolds the lasting legacy and continued relevance of
Barmen.
Bioconductor software has become a standard tool for the analysis
and comprehension of data from high-throughput genomics
experiments. Its application spans a broad field of technologies
used in contemporary molecular biology. In this volume, the authors
present a collection of cases to apply Bioconductor tools in the
analysis of microarray gene expression data. Topics covered
include: (1) import and preprocessing of data from various sources;
(2) statistical modeling of differential gene expression; (3)
biological metadata; (4) application of graphs and graph rendering;
(5) machine learning for clustering and classification problems;
(6) gene set enrichment analysis. Each chapter of this book
describes an analysis of real data using hands-on example driven
approaches. Short exercises help in the learning process and invite
more advanced considerations of key topics. The book is a dynamic
document. All the code shown can be executed on a local computer,
and readers are able to reproduce every computation, figure, and
table.

If you are a biologist and want to get the best out of the powerful
methods of modern computational statistics, this is your book. You
can visualize and analyze your own data, apply unsupervised and
supervised learning, integrate datasets, apply hypothesis testing,
and make publication-quality figures using the power of
R/Bioconductor and ggplot2. This book will teach you 'cooking from
scratch', from raw data to beautiful illuminating output, as you
learn to write your own scripts in the R language and to use
advanced statistics packages from CRAN and Bioconductor. It covers
a broad range of basic and advanced topics important in the
analysis of high-throughput biological data, including principal
component analysis and multidimensional scaling, clustering,
multiple testing, unsupervised and supervised learning, resampling,
the pitfalls of experimental design, and power simulations using
Monte Carlo, and it even reaches networks, trees, spatial
statistics, image data, and microbial ecology. Using a minimum of
mathematical notation, it builds understanding from well-chosen
examples, simulation, visualization, and above all hands-on
interaction with data and code.
Wolfgang Huber, der am 12. August 2022 seinen achtzigsten
Geburtstag feiert, hat den Protestantismus in der Bundesrepublik
Deutschland in unterschiedlichen Funktionen geprägt. Als Professor
für Systematische Theologie in Marburg und Heidelberg von 1980 bis
1994 trieb er die Etablierung der Ethik als einer eigenständig
profilierten theologischen Disziplin insbesondere angesichts der
zeitgenössischen friedensethischen und bioethischen
Herausforderungen mit voran. Als Präsident des Deutschen
Evangelischen Kirchentages von 1983 bis 1985 engagierte er sich mit
Nachdruck dafür, den politischen Charakter des Kirchentages als
Konsequenz aus dessen religiöser Verankerung deutlich zu machen.
Als Bischof der Evangelischen Kirche Berlin-Brandenburg-schlesische
Oberlausitz von 1993 bis 2009 moderierte er das Zusammenwachsen
westlicher und östlicher Teile der Evangelischen Kirche an
zentraler Stelle. Als Vorsitzender des Rates der EKD von 2003 bis
2009 nutzte er die ihm damit zur Verfügung stehenden
Möglichkeiten, auf der politischen Ebene praktisch einzustehen
für seine theologischen Überzeugungen. Und als theologischer
Schriftsteller hat er nicht nur die fachwissenschaftlichen Debatten
vorangetrieben, sondern mit vielen Veröffentlichungen auch dafür
gesorgt, dass Einstellungen und Einsichten des evangelischen
Christentums einem breiteren interessierten Publikum verständlich
und vertraut werden konnten. In diesem Gesprächsband lässt
Wolfgang Huber im Dialog mit den Münchener Theologen Christian
Albrecht und Reiner Anselm sowie dem Göttinger Staatsrechtslehrer
Hans Michael Heinig wissenschaftsbiographische und
kirchenpolitische Etappen Revue passieren.
Newspapers daily document the violence that rends our times. Who
can account for its relentless pervasion? Why is it also found
fascinating or gripping? What is wrong with societies that produce
it? Answers are elusive and fragile, renowned ethicist Huber
believes. For, even apart from the gross brutalities of crime and
war, he finds more subtle and covert violence in childrearing,
family intimacy, schools, employee relations, entertainment, and
competitive sports. Huber shows how the constant, everyday
disregard of human dignity is a root of violence in all spheres,
how the inviolability of dignity is the one absolutely necessary
premise of countering violence, and how we can become personally
vigilant in the service of human dignity. Huber's clear, sweeping
creed articulates principles of a planetary ethos, a public
theology for rebuilding personal and political culture rent by
violence.
Diplomarbeit aus dem Jahr 2002 im Fachbereich BWL - Marketing,
Unternehmenskommunikation, CRM, Marktforschung, Social Media, Note:
2, Alpen-Adria-Universitat Klagenfurt (unbekannt,
Wirtschaftswissenschaften), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract:
Inhaltsangabe: Einleitung: Die Auswirkungen der Einfuhrung eines
digitalen Abwicklungsmodells in der Beschaffung (eProcurement) sind
umfangreich und gehen weit uber die Einkaufsabteilung hinaus. Im
Laufe der Arbeit wird schrittweise es ein Modell entwickelt,
welches ermoglicht, diese Auswirkungen aus Sicht des
implementierenden Unternehmens einzuschatzen. Dabei werden
ausgehend vom Grundgedanken des Ersetzens von Arbeit durch
Information auch Einflusse auf Bereiche eines Unternehmens
beleuchtet, die nicht direkt finanziell messbar sind. Um diese
Auswirkungen quantifizierbar zu machen, werden Indikatoren
identifiziert, die es ermoglichen, zu verwertbaren Messzahlen zu
kommen. Da eProcurement als strategisches Thema behandelt wird,
werden Auswirkungen auf das gesamte Unternehmen analysiert, und
nicht nur solche, die in der Einkaufs- oder EDV-Abteilung
auftreten. Der Definitionsteil dient der Erlauterung, was im Sinne
der Arbeit unter eProcurement verstanden wird, und auf welche
Aspekte des Einkaufsprozesses Auswirkungen bestehen. Danach folgt
eine Analyse der Wettbewerbsstrategien, da sich je nach Strategie
unterschiedliche Auswirkungen auf das Firmenergebnis und somit auch
auf die Kapitalruckflusse aus der Investition ergeben konnen. Als
Einheit werden die strategischen Wettbewerbsfaktoren Zeit, Kosten,
Flexibilitat und Qualitat verwendet. Anhand dieser wird in spaterer
Folge der Einfluss von eProcurement auf die jeweilige
Wettbewerbsstrategie analysiert. Der Hauptteil beschaftigt sich mit
der schrittweisen Vorgehendweise zur Messung, die auf dem
Grundgedanken der Balanced Scorecard basiert. Anhand dieser werden
in den vier Perspektiven Prozess, Lieferanten, Kunden und
Entwicklung, die Auswirkungen von eProcurement bewertet. Di
