Augmented and Virtual Reality in Healthcare

Increasingly landscape architects, garden designers, and healthcare professionals are asked to create gardens that meet the physical, psychological, emotional, and social needs of a wide range of users. Landscape architect Daniel Winterbottom and occupational therapist Amy Wagenfeld present a collaborative approach that successfully translates the evidence-based principles of therapeutic design into practice using case studies from around the world. This practical guide demonstrates how gardens support learning, movement, well-being, and mental and psychological health. This second edition has been thoroughly updated throughout to include pandemic and mental health design, trauma responsive design, designing for neurodivergence, and more. Beautifully designed with over 250 color images throughout, it also includes chapter introductions, summaries, case studies, and personal vignettes. This book is essential for professionals and students in landscape architecture, planning, design, healthcare, and mental health fields.

Up-to-date reference enabling readers to address the full spectrum of AI security challenges while maintaining model utility Generative AI Security: Defense, Threats, and Vulnerabilities delivers a technical framework for securing generative AI systems, building on established standards while focusing specifically on emerging threats to large language models and other generative AI systems. Moving beyond treating AI security as a dual-use technology, this book provides detailed technical analysis of three critical dimensions: implementing AI-powered security tools, defending against AI-enhanced attacks, and protecting AI systems from compromise through attacks like prompt injection, model poisoning, and data extraction. The book provides concrete technical implementations supported by real-world case studies of actual AI system compromises, examining documented cases like the DeepSeek breaches, Llama vulnerabilities, and Google's CaMeL security defenses to demonstrate attack methodologies and defense strategies while emphasizing foundational security principles that remain relevant despite technological shifts. Each chapter progresses from theoreticalfoundations to practical applications. The book also includes an implementation guide and hands-on exercises focusing on specific vulnerabilities in generative AI architectures, security control implementation, and compliance frameworks. Generative AI Security: Defense, Threats, and Vulnerabilities discusses topics including: <ul> <li>Machine learning fundamentals, including supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning and feature engineering and selection</li> <li>Intelligent Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), covering AI-enhanced log analysis, predictive vulnerability assessment, and automated patch generation</li> <li>Deepfakes and synthetic media, covering image and video manipulation, voice cloning, audio deepfakes, and AI's greater impact on information integrity</li> <li>Security attacks on generative AI, including jailbreaking, adversarial, backdoor, and data poisoning attacks</li> <li>Privacy-preserving AI techniques including federated learning and homomorphic encryption</li> </ul> Generative AI Security: Defense, Threats, and Vulnerabilities is an essential resource for cybersecurity professionals and architects, engineers, IT professionals, and organization leaders seeking integrated strategies that address the full spectrum of Generative AI security challenges while maintaining model utility.

Triangulating AI Security

Depending on who you ask, artificial intelligence is our salvation or our doom; an overhyped, bigoted artist or the ticket to immortality and utopian abundance; just another tech fad or the last invention we need ever make. The AI discourse is confusing, messy, and frustrating. But the technology — and our response to it — will shape the future, whether or not we’re part of the conversation.
Obsolete is&nbsp;for those who are interested in learning more about AI, but unsure of where to start and who to believe. They may feel intimidated by the technical jargon, put off by dry and abstract prose, or skeptical of the loudest voices on the issue (like Elon Musk and Sam Altman). Obsolete will introduce readers to the basics of AI, the idea that it could lead to human extinction, the roiling three-sided debate surrounding extinction fears, and the people and companies trying to build artificial general intelligence (AGI) — that which can outwit humans across the board. The book will grapple with the core arguments animating the AI debates, which are, by turns, uncritically parroted and unduly dismissed. It will also cut through industry hype while seriously entertaining the implications of AGI.
The risk that AGI could result in our extinction is being recognized by a significant and growing number of leading AI researchers, industrialists, and policymakers, along with the wider public. Existential risk from AI has been explored in other books, but Obsolete will be the first to center its analysis on how both capitalist and great power competition make AI more dangerous.
Obsolete will also tackle questions like: Can machines actually outsmart humanity? If so, when could that happen? If AGI is possible, is it inevitable? Why are people trying to build a technology they claim could end the world? Is the idea of AI-driven extinction the product of a big tech conspiracy aiming to hype the technology and control its regulation? Why has the left mostly ignored or dismissed existential risk from AI? Why do some powerful techies welcome human extinction? How could AI enable stable authoritarian regimes? How could killer robots reshape war and the balance of power? What do China and the US want from AI? And why has it become the front line of their brewing Cold War? And finally: What can and should the left do about it?

rerum religionum / Arbeiten zur Religionskultur

Was machen Kirchen mit Menschen und Menschen in Kirchen? In welche Verbindung treten sie mit den in diesen Räumen verteilten Dingen? Und was erfahren wir daraus über Religion in der Gegenwart? Ausgehend von Feldbesuchen in Hamburger Kirchenräumen erschließen&nbsp;die Beiträger*innen aus Religionswissenschaft, Religionspädagogik und Praktischer Theologie das Wechselverhältnis von Dingen, Räumen und Menschen.&nbsp;Sie dokumentieren ethnographisch und fotodokumentarisch erschlossene Praktiken und Konstellationen, erkunden die Beobachtungen praxeologisch sowie im Sinne eines neuen Materialismus und ziehen Schlussfolgerungen für den Religionsdiskurs und Fachdebatten.
