Описание: De Gruyter Studies in Innovation and Entrepreneurship edited by Professor John Bessant, Exeter University De Gruyter Studies in Innovation and Entrepreneurship is a new, original and timely series of monographs that explores the relationship between the two fields of study. It will serve to improve our understanding of the relationship between innovation and entrepreneurship in a range of different contexts from start-up high tech firm through to large corporation trying to reinvent itself, and across to the public and not-for-profit sectors where the concern is with creating social value. Titles in this series will communicate key research findings and offer new perspectives to aid our understanding of the dynamic nature of the relationship between innovation and entrepreneurship. The primary audience for these titles will be academic researchers in the fields of innovation and entrepreneurship incorporating academics from a wide range of disciplines including: business, management, economics, sociology, psychology, healthcare and technology. We are looking for interesting and innovative proposals for projects; these might include: ? Individual research monographs which allow ideas arising from projects to be developed at greater length than might be possible in journal articles. Books which draw together the findings from a larger-scale research programme involving multiple contributors from different organizations and institutions. Such programmes might focus on particular ‘grand challenges’ and offer a number of perspectives on a common topical theme – for example, the role of technology in healthcare or approaches to innovation in mature industries like automobiles. Contributions which focus different perspectives on innovation and entrepreneurship, for example exploring key issues from the standpoint of economists, sociologists, psychologists, business researchers, technologists and beyond.

Описание: The revised essays collected here, four of which are published for the first time, continue a longstanding argument made by McCutcheon and others: that the study of religion would benefit from self-conscious scrutiny of its tools, the interests that may drive them, and the effects that might follow their use. The chapters examine a variety of contemporary sites in the modern field where this thesis can be argued, whether involving the anachronistic use of of the category religion when studying the ancient world to current interest in so-called critical religion or critical realist approaches. Moreover – contrary to some past characterizations of such critiques – a constructive way forward for the field is once again recommended and, at several sites, exemplified in detail: redescribing not only religion as something ordinary but also our tendency to create the impression of exceptional and thus set-apart things, places, and people. Aimed at scholars and students alike, the book is an invitation to examine our own scholarly practices and thereby take a more active role in shaping the field in which we carry out our work as scholars of this thing we call religion.

Описание:
In Archiveology Catherine Russell uses the work of Walter Benjamin to explore how the practice of archiveology—the reuse, recycling, appropriation, and borrowing of archival sounds and images by filmmakers—provides ways to imagine the past and the future. Noting how the film archive does not function simply as a place where moving images are preserved, Russell examines a range of films alongside Benjamin's conceptions of memory, document, excavation, and historiography. She shows how city films such as Nicole Védrès's Paris 1900 (1947) and Thom Andersen's Los Angeles Plays Itself (2003) reconstruct notions of urban life and uses Christian Marclay's The Clock (2010) to draw parallels between critical cinephilia and Benjamin's theory of the phantasmagoria. Russell also discusses practices of collecting in archiveological film and rereads films by Joseph Cornell and Rania Stephan to explore an archival practice that dislocates and relocates the female image in film. In so doing, she not only shows how Benjamin's work is as relevant to film theory as ever; she shows how archiveology can awaken artists and audiences to critical forms of history and memory.
Описание: Due to rapid developments in the communication sector, the right to privacy faces new challenges. The increasing digitization and internationalization of communication processes have raised a number of issues, and lead to conflicts wherever national legal systems and moral concepts collide. Particularly in the areas of data protection and liability of online service providers, universal approaches are required. This title presents positions of specialists in Europe, Australia, the US and Canada which contribute to the international dialogue and thereby offer a starting point for a sustainable policy for the protection of privacy rights

Описание: The computational approach of this book is aimed at simulating the human ability to understand various kinds of phrases with a novel metaphoric component. That is, interpretations of metaphor as literal paraphrases are based on literal meanings of the metaphorically used words. This method distinguishes itself from statistical approaches, which in general do not account for novel usages, and from efforts directed at metaphor constrained to one type of phrase or to a single topic domain. The more interesting and novel metaphors appear to be based on concepts generally represented as nouns, since such concepts can be understood from a variety of perspectives. The core of the process of interpreting nominal concepts is to represent them in such a way that readers or hearers can infer which aspect(s) of the nominal concept is likely to be intended to be applied to its interpretation. These aspects are defined in terms of verbal and adjectival predicates. A section on the representation and processing of part-sentence verbal metaphor will therefore also serve as preparation for the representation of salient aspects of metaphorically used nouns. As the ability to process metaphorically used verbs and nouns facilitates the interpretation of more complex tropes, computational analysis of two other kinds of metaphorically based expressions are outlined: metaphoric compound nouns, such as "idea factory" and, together with the representation of inferences, modified metaphoric idioms, such as "Put the cat back into the bag".

Описание:
Fifty years after his death in 1965 the essays in this collection return to Paul Tillich to investigate his theology and its legacy, with a focus on contemporary British scholarship. Originating in a conference held in Oxford in 2014, the book contains 16 original contributions from a mixture of junior and more established scholars, most of whom have a connection to Britain.
The contributions are diverse, but four themes emerge throughout the volume. Several essays are concerning with a characterisation of Tillich's theology. In dialogue with recent emphases on the radical Tillich, some essays suggest a more conservative estimation of Tillich's theology, rooted in the Idealist and classical Christian platonic traditions, whilst in constant engagement with changing existential situations.
Secondly, and perhaps reflecting the context of religious diversity and theories of religious pluralism in Britain, many essays engage Tillich's approach to non-Christian religions. Thirdly, some essays address the importance of existentialist philosophy for Tillich, notably via an engagement with Sartre. Finally, a number of essays take up the diagnostic potential of Tillich's theology as a resource for engaging contemporary challenges.

Описание:
The book employs oscillatory dynamical systems to represent the Universe mathematically via constructing classical and quantum theory of damped oscillators. It further discusses isotropic and homogeneous metrics in the Friedman-Robertson-Walker Universe and shows their equivalence to non-stationary oscillators. The wide class of exactly solvable damped oscillator models with variable parameters is associated with classical special functions of mathematical physics. Combining principles with observations in an easy to follow way, it inspires further thinking for mathematicians and physicists.
Contents Part I: Dissipative geometry and general relativity theory Pseudo-Riemannian geometry and general relativity Dynamics of universe models Anisotropic and homogeneous universe models Metric waves in a nonstationary universe and dissipative oscillator Bosonic and fermionic models of a Friedman-Robertson-Walker universe Time dependent constants in an oscillatory universe
Part II: Variational principle for time dependent oscillations and dissipations Lagrangian and Hamilton descriptions Damped oscillator: classical and quantum theory Sturm-Liouville problem as a damped oscillator with time dependent damping and frequency Riccati representation of time dependent damped oscillators Quantization of the harmonic oscillator with time dependent parameters
