        Markets 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.

        Animal Welfare in a Changing World

        by Edited by Andrew Butterworth

        Contemporary and challenging, this thought-provoking book outlines a number of the key dilemmas in animal welfare for today's, and tomorrow's, world. The issues discussed range from the welfare of hunted animals, to debates around intensive farming versus sustainability, and the effects of climate and environmental change. The book explores the effects of fences on wild animals and human impacts on carrion animals; the impacts of tourism on animal welfare; philosophical questions about speciesism; and the quality and quantity of animal lives. The welfare impacts of human-animal interactions are explored, including human impacts on marine mammals, fish, wildlife, and companion and farm animals. Animal Welfare in a Changing World provides: Concise, opinion-based views on important issues in animal welfare by world experts and key opinion leaders. Pieces based on experience, which balance evidence-based approaches and the welfare impacts of direct engagement through training, campaigning and education. A wide-ranging collection of examples and descriptions of animal welfare topics which outline dilemmas in the real world, that are sometimes challenging, and not always comfortable reading. This is a 'must-read' book for animal and veterinary scientists, ethologists, policy and opinion leaders, NGOs, conservation biologists and anyone who feels passionately about the welfare of animals

        Probability and Algorithms

        by Panel on Probability and Algorithms, National Research Council

        Some of the hardest computational problems have been successfully attacked through the use of probabilistic algorithms, which have an element of randomness to them. Concepts from the field of probability are also increasingly useful in analyzing the performance of algorithms, broadening our understanding beyond that provided by the worst-case or average-case analyses. This book surveys both of these emerging areas on the interface of the mathematical sciences and computer science. It is designed to attract new researchers to this area and provide them with enough background to begin explorations of their own.

        Composición algorítmica

        Matemáticas y ciencias de la computación en la creación musical

        by Jorge Variego

        Since the era of Guido D’Arezzo until our days, music composition with algorithms reinforced the need of transversal thinking in this area, revealing in this way the close relationship with other artistic disciplines, science and technology. From this point of view, Composición algorítmica explores difficulties related to the historic evolution, analysis and application of the algorithmic processes in the composition of music. The book is organised in different independent sections that deal with controversial questions and informal interviews with current composers (David Cope, Roger Dannenberg y Rodrigo Sigal, among others). Far from studying the methods of composition that can be formalised through the analysis of certain works, the book suggests an approach focused on the paradigms that represent systems of composition. The emphasis is on the systems of rules, procedures and instructions and not in the production of the composition per se; this systems are studied (through their analysis), explained and applied in concrete examples. The introduction of the concepts in a circular way, practice-theory-practice, is essential in this book. The present book includes examples of programming codes for the environment SuperCollider that can be downloaded for free from the blog Música y ciencia.

        Graph Theory, with an Algorithmic Perspective

        by Gerard Jennhwa Chang, Mu-Tsun Tsai

        Among various research methods of graph theory, the key ones are topology, probability theory, algebraic method, and algorithm. Efficient algorithm can assist the computer to perform fast calculation and is practically valuable. From the mathematical perspective, algorithm is in fact a form of mathematical induction and therefore it can be used to prove theorems. Conversely, an inductive proof of a theorem can be converted into algorithm.

        Communico

        Languages, Images, Algorithms

        by Mario Ricciardi

        The book traces a wide-ranging overview of communication: a cultural dimension in which different knowledge converges and merges. The author takes into consideration numerous voices – from McLuhan to Barthes, from Pasolini to Castells, just to name a few – to analyse, first, the processes of civilization from the alphabet to digital technology and to show, then, how the media system takes over society and how, in the age of mass consumption, the critical role of public opinion is weakened by market and advertising. Finally, attention shifts to the leap that leads to our days: the algorithm is the pervasive and dominant technology, the personalization operated by digital communication produces new forms of individual mythologies.

        Stories of Social Bots and Digital Liars

        by Viola Bachini, Maurizio Tesconi

        Today, on the social media, there is a very high probability of coming across a false profile. As well as individuals who do not state their own identity, social bots can be encountered: these are automated programs which hide algorithms that are so sophisticated that they cannot be distinguished from people in flesh and blood. The social bots, used for a huge variety of purposes, are not all the same: there are the ‘good’ ones, which for example automatically send a tweet in the case of an earthquake, but there are also less virtuous ones… This book tells the story of this variegated universe: from the racist bots of Microsoft to the trolls in the US presidential campaign up to the false followers of Italian politicians, via the swindle of the algorithm which shot up the price of the shares of a phantom company to the stars. It is a fascinating account accompanied by interviews with the most important professionals in the sector, to reveal the challenges faced by those who create the bots and those who hunt them down.

        Data Science for Professionals

        by Prof. N.C. Das

        The book is meant for a wide-spectrum of readership-empirical scientists, consultants, technocrats, advertisers, researchers and students learning Data Science for conducting small replicated or non-replicated experiments / demonstrations. It deals with two-factor three-level designs to be conducted only in six experimental units. For this an exhaustive set of 9c6=9c3 = 84 designs have been generated. Least Square algorithm has been applied for estimating separate effect of each component and their interaction along with fitting of response surface; meeting both the objectives for any factorial experiment. Of them seventy-six could be found as valid or estimable designs and the rest as non-estimable ones. Value of the determinant obtained for Least Square Matrix for each such design has been the indicator of its D-optimality status: the same could also be obtained from geometric structure of the designs. Such exhaustive search ascertains (8+4) D-optimal designs; of them only (1+3) are hitherto known. Also, rotatable feature of any such design does not affect its D-optimality status. A simple method SAME has been devised to meet the said twin objectives, thus escaping matrix formation and related operations. Each such design could be combined to form pair of replicates or blocks of an experiment so as to fetch statistical significance test based on ANOVA and fitting the response surface.

        Convertible

        by Åshild Norun

        It's 1967, and a young Norwegian family leaves Norway for California, looking for opportunity and the free and easy lifestyle. The young immigrants settle in a nice house in the suburb. The couple both find jobs, and the twin girls go to school. Dad buys a convertible, just like mom always wanted. She invites her three siblings for a Christmas visit. Two of them stay on, and the younger sister finds an American boyfriend. Every one wants a piece of the American pie, but the price gradually dawns on the blue-eyed immigrants, as they discover simmering racial divides and unrest over the Vietnam war, and watch the terrifying assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Robert Kennedy on the nightly news. The American dream is bittersweet.
