Описание: In Media and the Power of Knowledge, Fuller traces the evolution of how the media has transformed global and social knowledge. The book draws a line from the printing press to the rise of electrical and electronic communication, and analyses how the emergence of our public sphere has developed. Fuller points to the spread of publishing and the rise of technology such as telegraphy that allowed researchers to connect, and allowed the first forms of collective intelligence to flourish. With the invention of the internet, globally accessible information has become possible and has fundamentally altered how we form public opinion. Media and the Power of Knowledge also looks at the role of media moguls and the function of the critic, pundit and broadcaster, and investigates how the balance of power has shifted in recent years. Clearly structured and presenting provocative arguments, this book considers the likely future developments of the media and its far-reaching implications for the human condition.

Описание: This book is a broad and detailed case study of how journalists in more than 20 countries worldwide covered the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Fifth Assessment (AR5) reports on the state of scientific knowledge relevant to climate change. Journalism, it demonstrates, is a key element in the transnational communication infrastructure of climate politics. It examines variations of coverage in different countries and locations all over the world. It looks at how IPCC scientists review the role of media, reflects on how media relate to decision-making structures and cultures, analyzes how key journalists reflect on the challenges of covering climate change, and shows how the message of IPCC was distributed in the global networks of social media.

Описание:
What’s with the men in menstruation? This is the question Men in Menstruation: A Social Transaction sets out to answer. From earliest times men have been puzzled and perplexed by the menstrual cycle and have constructed elaborate taboos, superstitions, and practices attempting to explain why women have a periodical emission of a fluid that resembles blood but is not the result of an injury or affliction. In other words, men want to know why it is possible to bleed and not die. In order to understand what goes on between men and women in the presence of menstruation, this book examines a variety of encounters, referred to as "menstrual transactions." From the three women in the Bible who are identified as menstruating to contemporary films, advertising, TV programs and literature, the book explores a wide range of transactions, even including Prince Charles’s close encounter of a menstrual kind. The book will appeal to anyone interested in gaining insights into the mystery of menstruation as well as students of gender and women’s studies or media theory and history.

Описание: Describes, explains, and explores the Index Theorem of Atiyah and Singer, one of the truly great accomplishments of twentieth-century mathematics whose influence continues to grow, fifty years after its discovery. David Bleecker and Bernhelm Booss-Bavnbek give two proofs of the Atiyah-Singer Index Theorem in impressive detail: one based on K-theory and the other on the heat kernel approach.
Описание: Mark Coddington gives a vivid account of the work of aggregation-how such content is produced, what its values are, and how it fits into today`s changing journalistic profession. Aggregating the News explores how aggregators weigh sources, reshape news narratives, and manage life on the fringes of journalism.

Описание: What do we understand 'noise' to be?
The term 'noise' no longer suggests only aesthetic judgement, as in acoustic or visual noise, and is now relevant to domains as varied as communication theory, physics and biology. This trans-disciplinary usage leads to confusion and complication, and reveals that the question of noise is a properly philosophical problem.
Presenting an analysis of the rising interest in the notion of noise, this book investigates if there can be a coherent understanding of what it is, that can be effectively shared among the natural and human sciences, technology and the arts. Drawing the philosophical consequences of noise for the theory of knowledge, Malaspina undertakes a philosophical revaluation of Shannon and Weaver's theory of 'information entropy'; this forms the basis upon which to challenge the common idea that noise can be reduced to notions of error, disorder or disorganization. The wider consequences of this analysis relate the technological and scientific aspect of noise, with its cultural and psycho-social aspects. At the heart of Malaspina's argument is the contestation of the ground upon which we judge and distinguish noise from information and finally the exploration of its emancipatory potential.

Описание: This book covers in detail some existent theories and innovative concepts revolving around educational technology and knowledge engineering. It explores all the important aspects of this field in the present day scenario. Educational technology refers to the practice of promoting learning and enhancing performance by implementing, managing and designing apt technological methods and resources. Knowledge engineering is a part of artificial intelligence, which falls under educational technology. It deals with developing computer systems that have abundant knowledge, reasoning ability and mechanism. Both of these fields work towards making learning more accessible. The objective of this book is to provide in-depth knowledge about the various applications and methods of these subjects. Some of the diverse topics covered in this text address the varied branches that fall under this category. This book is appropriate for students seeking detailed information in this area as well as for experts.
Описание: Knowledge sharing plays a very significant role in exchanging information, maintaining databases, creating improved learning environment and systems, etc. In recent decades, there has been a strong emphasis on promoting knowledge sharing in an all pervasive manner and remove any space and time barriers. E-learning tools and applications have immensely changed the way we access and share information. This book is a compilation of chapters that discuss the most vital concepts in this field such as learning platforms and content authoring, embedded knowledge systems, knowledge management, collaboration tools, new learning models, etc. The extensive content of this book provides the readers with a thorough understanding of the subject.

Die gegenw?rtige Forschung zahlreicher Disziplinen wird in vielen ihrer Felder dominiert von Themen und Fragenstellungen, deren Grundlage als ‹Verk?rperung› gekennzeichnet wird. Der Ansatz der Verk?rperung substituiert den Cartesianischen Dualismus, d.h. die ontologische Differenzierung zwischen Seele, Geist und K?rper durch eine Konzeption von Kognition als verk?rperten und situierten Prozess.
Die K?nste selbst zeigen in all diesen – h?ufig sehr disparaten – Ans?tzen nicht nur, dass sie einen entscheidenden Anteil an dieser Theoriebildung haben sondern vielmehr, dass sie sehr spezifische Zug?nge zur Theoriebildung des Embodiments leisten k?nnen, und zwar explizit aus einem Denkansatz heraus, der die praxisorientierte Umsetzung ebenso umfasst, wie materielle und performative Aspekte. Der Band versammelt Analysen, die jene der Kunst eigene Dignit?t und ihre je eigenen Episteme analysieren.
