Mediated encounters, governance, and assemblages in more-than-human worlds
by Jonathon Turnbull, Adam Searle, Henry Anderson-Elliott, Eva Haifa Giraud
Digital ccologies draws together leading social science and humanities scholars to examine how digital media are reshaping the futures of conservation, environmentalism, and ecological politics. The book offers an overview of the emerging field of interdisciplinary digital ecologies research by mapping key debates and issues in the field, with original empirical chapters exploring how livestreams, sensors, mobile technologies, social media platforms, and software are reconfiguring life in profound ways. The collection traverses contexts ranging from animal exercise apps, to surveillance systems on the high seas, and is organised around the themes of encounters, governance, and assemblages. Digital ecologies also includes an agenda-setting intervention by the book's editors, and three closing chapter-length provocations by leading scholars in digital geographies, the environmental humanities, and media theory that set out trajectories for future research.

January 2023Diagnosis Digital Disaster
Can the healthcare system still be saved?
by Peter Schaar
— Ways out of the digital disaster — For healthcare professionals and informed patients Modern information technologies can and should contribute to improving the quality and transparency of medical care and making healthcare more economical – and all for the benefit and well-being of patients. Well, that would be the noble approach. All the talk about health insurance cards, telematics infrastructure and electronic patient files stirs up emotions. Peter Schaar, long-standing Federal Data Protection Commissioner, brings light to the dark data and health thicket. Why are innovations in the healthcare sector met with great scepticism by many stakeholders? How can we speed up the development and implementation of meaningful ITsupported solutions? What role does the narrow, small-scale regulatory framework play – not only, but also in data protection?

Business, Economics & LawMarch 2024Markets and power in digital capitalism
by Philipp Staab
Today's global capitalism runs through digital networks. Its leaders are internet giants such as Google, Apple, Amazon and Tencent. Their technologies are ubiquitous: we carry high-performance computers around in our pockets, manage our lives in the cloud and display them on social media. They have also literally privatised the market, transforming capitalism in the process. Philipp Staab takes us on a virtual tour of modern digital capitalism. He shows how digital surveillance and evaluation practices have proliferated throughout the economy, exacerbating social inequality in the process. What is specific to digital capitalism, Staab argues, is the emergence of 'proprietary markets'. In the past the focus was on producing things and selling them at a profit. Today the meta-platforms extract their profits by owning the market itself.

by Pi Kou, Duzi Dudu

Little Douzi and Dad carries Grandpa's sugar load, and blows, kneads, pulls and cuts the sugar syrup. Then a sweet sugar figure warms the bleak autumn, cold winter and the sick Grandpa. Love will finally overcome all difficulties.

Chang Yu figure painting
by Chang Yu
In the modern Chinese painting circle, Chang Yu is a leader, once alternately refreshing the Chinese oil painting auction record. Painter Chang Yu has had ups and downs throughout her life, and insists on going her own way in art. He is recognized in the West as a world-class painter, a Chinese Modigliani, a painter who creates freely for his artistic beliefs and makes remarkable achievements. Chang Yu turned from the most familiar Chinese art to another brand new western art field, and constantly explored and pursued on the basis of Chinese painting, finally achieving Chang Yu's special painting style of simplicity and fluency. Chang Yu is an indelible Oriental pearl. Few books of Chang Yu are published in China. We popularize such art and publicize Chang Yu's achievements in the history of Chinese art in the 20th century.The series consists of 3 books. This book is a collection of Chang Yu's figure painting works, which contains more than 60 of his important and iconic figure works. Chang Yu's female body works are different from the expression Angle of nude paintings, and he uses the whole body outline of a naked woman to express the scenery in his mind. There are not many slim naked women in Chang Yu's works, but mostly plump and fat women. Quite the author "do not talk to people, alone in the dark" self-pity mode.

2023Telepharmacy
Aid for the pharmacy
by Dr. B. Mecking and S. Wessinger
Ready for telepharmacy? Digitalisation is not only increasingly influencing our private lives, it is also playing an ever greater role in the healthcare sector. For example, digitalisation in the form of telepharmacy can significantly improve comprehensive patient care. This book shows how telepharmacy makes it possible to tap into new target groups and thus strengthen brick-and-mortar pharmacies. In addition, it suggests a wide range of possible ways of implementation, from individual patient consultations to telepharmaceutical lectures. In addition to the opportunities offered by telepharmacy, the authors also discuss • how telepharmaceutical services can be integrated into existing workflows, • how telepharmacy can enable employees to work from home, and • which technical and legal aspects need to be considered, especially regarding data protection. Telepharmacy can be used to expand the pharmacy‘s digital offering. Practical examples and checklists make it easier to get started.
