Was passiert, wenn der Mensch selbst zum Designobjekt wird? Und welche Bedeutung kommt dabei digitalen Technologien, insbesondere der Künstlichen Intelligenz (KI), zu? Diesen Fragen gehen die Beiträge in diesem Sammelband nach, der die Vorträge und Diskussionen der 11. Transfertagung „eHealth &amp; Society“ zusammenstellt.
 Im Fokus steht das Spannungsfeld zwischen medizinischem Fortschritt, technologischer Innovation und gesellschaftlicher Verantwortung. Digitale Technologien verändern nicht nur Diagnostik und Therapie, sondern prägen zunehmend auch Vorstellungen davon, was als gesund, normal oder erstrebenswert gilt. Neben ästhetischen Eingriffen und KI-gestützter Bildbearbeitung gewinnen Phänomene wie&nbsp;
 Looksmaxxing
 , digitale Identitäten und virtuelle Avatare an Bedeutung. Doch das Phänomen „Designobjekt Mensch“ reicht weit über Fragen von Ästhetik hinaus. Es umfasst auch die Bereiche Reproduktionsmedizin, Longevity und mentale Gesundheit.
 Im Gesundheitswesen erweitert KI die Möglichkeiten der Versorgung. Gleichzeitig geraten Behandelnde zunehmend unter Druck, sich digitalen Systemen anzupassen: Der Zwang zur Nutzung von Telemedizin, die Auslagerung von Behandlungen an Avatare oder der Einsatz robotischer Assistenzsysteme sind nicht selten ökonomisch motiviert – etwa durch Personalmangel, steigende Kosten oder Effizienzerwartungen der Gesundheitssysteme.In den Beiträgen beleuchten Expertinnen und Experten aus Medizin, Informatik, Public Health, Ethik, Soziologie, Psychologie sowie der Sozialen Arbeit Chancen, Risiken und ethische Herausforderungen dieser Entwicklungen. Sie diskutieren, wie technologische Innovation und gesellschaftliche Verantwortung miteinander in Einklang gebracht werden können und welche Perspektiven sich für eine menschenorientierte Gesundheitsversorgung eröffnen.Die Herausgeberinnen und HerausgeberProf. Dr. habil.

Wie viel KI verträgt der Mensch?

Designobjekt Mensch

A provocative exposé of how our attention, behavior, and desires have been co-opted by the “choice box”—a curated set of options that offer a false sense of agency while funneling us down pre-determined paths controlled by a select few Choice boxes are all around us, but chances are you’ve never noticed them. Every time you click on a recommended video, rate an Uber driver, run a Google search, or invest in your 401k, you may think you’re the one calling the shots—but in reality, you’re limited to making the choices that a corporation wants you to make. Today, structured decision-making governs our lives to such an extent that we hardly see it at all. But who designs these choices, and whose interests do they serve? In Choose Your Captivity, historian Eli Cook introduces readers to the choice architects who first built these boxes and trapped us inside—from the maze-building eugenicist who invented the multiple-choice test to the marketing gurus who sold off our supermarket shelves to a few ultra-processed food giants. In less than a generation, architects like these have transformed a handful of online platforms into the richest businesses in the world. And by determining our options, controlling our actions, and even shaping our identities, they have laid the groundwork&nbsp;for the winner-takes-all game of digital capitalism that dominates us today. In a society built around the promise of free choice and personal responsibility, Cook argues, these hidden architects might just have the greatest power of all. A propulsive and vivid history, Choose Your Captivity opens readers’ eyes to the immense power of the choice box—and how to escape it.

Choose Your Captivity

Burnout can’t be solved with just perks or stress-reduction workshops. It's solved by changing how leaders engage their teams—a practical shift that requires no new resources. Grounded in peer-reviewed research, Relational Energy shows leaders how small changes in everyday workplace conversations can spark energy, revive exhausted teams, and build workplaces where people thrive. Every leader is dealing with burnout and looking for something they can actually do tomorrow morning, and this is it. In this book, leadership scholar Amy Young, with Kim Cameron, reveals how everyday communication creates relational energy, the powerful force that fuels engagement, creativity, resilience, health and well-being, and performance across teams. Drawing on interviews with energizing leaders and weaving in supporting peer-reviewed research, Young unlocks the secrets to thriving amid uncertainty and disruption due to AI automation, fragile labor markets, cultural divisiveness, and relentless workplace demands. Through vivid real-world examples, you'll discover how energizing leaders sustain their own vitality while lifting their teams at the same time, simply by rethinking how they approach everyday conversations. You'll learn how to turn those ordinary interactions into extraordinary ones, providing a practical, no-cost antidote to workplace stress and burnout. In this book, you will learn <ul><li>how relational energy promotes workplace well-being and performance, creating the foundation for sustainable organizational success;</li><li>strategies energizing leaders use to maintain their own energy levels while navigating the same modern workplace pressures that impact their teams;</li><li>how to have workplace conversations that generate healthy perceptions of challenge and stress and reduce burnout while building resilience and team solidarity;</li><li>specific language choices (wording, pronoun selection, questions, and declarative statements) that empower employees, elevate teams, and drive productivity; and</li><li>how to acknowledge hard realities while building genuine hope and resilience, avoiding toxic positivity that saps energy.</li></ul> Practical, research driven, and immediately applicable, Relational Energy shows leaders how small changes in language can create extraordinary impact, recharging people, teams, and entire organizations.

Smart Solutions for a Changing Climate

Why do development projects so often fail to deliver progress, yet succeed in strengthening states?&nbsp;Central Margins answers this question by exposing the paradox at the heart of development: economic failure masking political success. Through vivid ethnography and deep archival research, the book shows how Sri Lanka's ambitious programmes - most notably the World Bank-funded Mahaweli Development Scheme - collapsed as projects of prosperity but triumphed as tools of militarisation, demographic engineering, and state consolidation. Introducing the concept of 'hidden state transcripts', it reveals how governments project images of benevolent development while embedding surveillance, displacement, and majoritarian nationalism in everyday life. By analysing state power from the&nbsp;contested margins of the Sinhala-Buddhist state,&nbsp;Central Margins&nbsp;demonstrates how postcolonial regimes weaponise development and environmental governance to remake sovereignty. This original account speaks not only to scholars of South Asia, but to anyone interested in how development reshapes power and politics across the Global South. This title is Open Access.

Celebrated for its natural beauty and its abundance of wildlife, the Mekong river runs thousands of miles through China, Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam. Its basin is home to more than 70 million people and has for centuries been one of the world's richest agricultural areas and a biodynamic wonder. Today, however, it is undergoing profound changes. Development policies, led by a rising China in particular, aim to interconnect the region and urbanize the inhabitants. In this new and comprehensively updated edition of Last Days of the Mighty Mekong, Brian Eyler gives his first-hand account of the impact on the river of the tumultuous political period since the book's original publication. From the lockdowns of the COVID-19 pandemic and a devastating drought to the increasing political tensions and resource competition between China and Trump-era America, Eyler recounts his own increasing involvements in international efforts to protect this precious and delicate environment. Along the way he meets the region's diverse peoples, from villagers to community leaders, politicians to policy makers. Through conversations with them he reveals the urgent struggle to save the Mekong and its unique ecosystem.
