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.

Ethics - The Fundamental Questions of Our Lives (Hardcover): Wolfgang Huber Ethics - The Fundamental Questions of Our Lives (Hardcover)
Wolfgang Huber; Translated by Brian McNeil
R2,164 Discovery Miles 21 640 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

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.

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

Violence - The Unrelenting Assault on Human Dignity (Paperback, 1st Fortress Press ed): Wolfgang Huber Violence - The Unrelenting Assault on Human Dignity (Paperback, 1st Fortress Press ed)

R471 Discovery Miles 4 710 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

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.
