Translational Systems Sciences

This book formulates an evolutionary and pluralistic view of social systems in the global age, especially with reference to Niklas Luhmann's theory of social systems. Several paired concepts, such as national society/world society, stratification/functional differentiation, diffuse/specific, universalistic/particularistic, and inclusion/exclusion, illustrate the transformation of social structure and its effects on the constructive principles of social systems and the definition of individual identity. Every functional subsystem has become more autonomous and the socio-cultural sources of individual identity have become more diversified than in the past. The book proposes the concept of the “intermediary unit” and discusses its significance and relevance in the social systems theory. In the background of this discussion, the reality is that there is no system of meaning and values that are valid in all areas of the world society that has emerged in the process of functional differentiation and globalization, nor can we design such a system theoretically. The significance of intermediary units is considered; the competition of intermediary units and meaning-value spaces in the actual social process is defined as the politics of meaning; and a new form of pluralism based on the concept of polycontexturality is proposed. These factors seem to make the whole world more and more complex, risky, uncertain, and nontransparent. The evolutionary and pluralistic design principles of social systems including various intermediary units improve our capacity to cope with future risks.

Astronomers' Universe

One of the most stunning features of the night sky, and Earth's home, the Mily Way is fertile ground for exploring the mysteries of the universe. This book will provide an overview of how astronomers have attempted to uncover our Galaxy’s past, and how current models of its structure may account for some of the most recent observations.&nbsp;Indeed, the&nbsp;distribution of chemical elements in our Galaxy serves as a ‘fossil record’ of its evolutionary history and is a powerful tool for studying the formation and evolution, not only of the Milky Way, but also of other galaxies.In their journey through the history of our Galaxy the authors answer many fascinating and intriguing questions, such as: what can the Milky Way tell us about the Big Bang? What were the very first stars like? Are we able to find any of these first stars, still shining today, but born at a time when no metals had been formed and the gas and the Galaxy consisted of only hydrogen and helium? How did the main biogenic elements form and how are they distributed throughout the Galaxy? Are there regions of our Galaxy where Earth-like planets such as ours might more easily form?The text is addressed to the curious or interested reader and is intended to unveil to a general popular science audience some of the topics about the structure and evolution of our Galaxy which are now the subject of hot debate amongst professional astronomers around the world.

This book reflects new developments in the modeling and control of piezoelectric cantilevers. The main nonlinearities (hysteresis and creep) of these actuators are explained from a physical point of view and introduced into the modeling through operators and systems. The achieved models are adapted and used for the synthesis of classical (PID…) and advanced control schemes and laws. Another important aim of the control part in this book is the feed forward control which is of great interest for linearization and for damping vibration or for performances improvement when no sensor is available for feedback. Finally, the last part addresses the measurement techniques and integration for piezoelectric actuators. The concept of self-sensing and the use of observer techniques are highlighted, emphasizing the close relation between the nonlinearities and the reliability of the provided measurement. This book supplies practical tools for modeling, control and signal measurement of piezoelectric cantilevers. Numercial examples, identification and implementation procedures for experiments are provided. Finally, the appendices provide the tools to get familiar with the employed control techniques.

Signals and Communication Technology

This book shows the importance of Power Line Communications (PLC) technology to improve and solve the limitations and drawbacks of other communications channels by integrating with these communications channels. Furthermore, PLC technology creates a new hybrid communications channel that can lead to reliable and strong communications systems capable of meeting today's communications challenges for smooth, reliable and high data rate transmission systems able to cope with the challenges facing smart cities. Active researchers on PLC technology contribute to this book by emphasising the importance of this technology in building future smart cities.

This book is subdivided into three major thematic parts:Part I: Communications Channels: This part is an overview from a theoretical and a practical perspective presented in the form of survey of the three major communications channels: Power Line Communications (PLC), Visible Light Communications (VLC) and Wireless Communications (WCC) channels.

Part II: Hybrid Communications Systems: This part presents examples of how the new emerging technology combines the three communications channels into specific applications. The new hybrid channels are discussed and examples of applications are presented.

Part III: PLC and its Applications: This part is reserved for smart homes, smart grid and smart cities, making use of the new hybrid technology with PLC as the backbone.

Visible Light Communication for Smart Cities

Jonathan M. Metzl has long been the forefront of a movement advocating for American gun reform as a matter of public health but in 2018 a racially charged mass shooting in Nashville led him on a path towards recognising the limitations of biomedical frameworks for fully diagnosing or treating the complexities of American gun politics. In What We've Become, Metzl looks at the cycle in which mass shootings lead to shock, horror, calls for action, and, ultimately, political gridlock, he explores what happens when violence is normalised as an acceptable trade-off for freedom. What We've Become points to mass shootings as a symptom of America's unresolved national conflicts, and sets out a path of alliance forging, racial reckoning and political power brokering that America must take to put things right.

Lernweltforschung

Das Buch nimmt Foucaults Konzept der Sorge um das Selbst zum Ausgangspunkt und entwickelt ein bildungswissenschaftliches Modell zur Expertise-Entwicklung. Das Modell rahmt die Entwicklung von Lehrkompetenz als Entwicklung von Wissen, und lenkt den Blick auf reflexive Technologien der Lehrenden. Der Band legt auf Basis dieser Rahmung eine Längsschnittstudie vor, welche die Arbeit eines Lehrers in der Sekundarstufe begleitet.&nbsp;

Die Transformation von Lehrerwissen

'It is quite a feat to pull off a densely informative book about a horrible subject that also manages to be charismatic and funny . . . Highly readable' - The Guardian Polls show that over fifty per cent of us don't believe racism exists. In a world made for White people, The Science of Racism uses clear scientific research to expose what we know about racism, exactly how we know it, and what we can do about it. *British police are nine times more likely to use their tasers on Black people. *An item being advertised on eBay will sell for approximately twenty per cent less if a dark-skinned hand is shown in the photos. *Black Caribbean applicants have to apply for around fifty per cent more jobs in order to receive a positive response. Professor Keon West cuts through the divisive anecdotes and rhetoric with decades' worth of clear, factual, rigorous science - the data that reveals truths about racism that we need to know. And, somehow, entertains and amuses along the way. 'Illuminating, surprising, unnerving, moving' - Sathnam Sanghera 'Short circuits the brain' - The Independent 'A book that shouldn't have to exist . . . but I'm glad it does' - Adam Rutherford
