        Ai Wan’s Daffodil Ball

        by Huang Beijia

        After several years of conception and more than one year of writing, Huang Beijia, a famous children’s literature writer, has recently published her new dedication named 'Ai Wan’s Daffodil Ball' in Jiangsu Children Press. The story is set in China in the early 1980s. At that time, the country was like a sleeping giant who was about to wake up. It was easy for people to get lost in that restless, unstable society. This is the setting for the story of the eight-year-old Aiwan. She grew up quietly with her brothers and sisters in an ordinary family in the small town of Qingyang. The story of Aiwan's upbringing is the same as that of many other girls during that period. Her ordinary life style was peaceful and low-key, just like the daffodil in the conch pot, which would be satisfied even with just a little water, all the while sending out a gentle fragrance. Her philosophy of life was learnt from her own life experience in this family, instead of being taught by others. Hard and restrained as her childhood was, we could still imagine that once she grew up, she would discover the wings to fly out into this wide world, and her wealth of experiences would become her fortune, helping her to create a bright, amazing future.

        Agricultural Innovation for Societal Change

        Towards Sustainability

        by Bo Malte Ingvar Bengtsson

        Over the centuries, agriculture has developed through technological steps illustrated by various agricultural revolutions. This book describes and analyses significant agricultural changes since the mid-1960s in the context of development, innovation and adoption by revisiting resource-poor farmers in Ethiopia, Sweden and Trinidad and Tobago, and considering overall development changes up to the early 2020s. It is a platform for discussing current issues for future global food security in the context of globalization and free global trade which have influenced economic growth in many countries but also created environmental concerns and a rapid increase in the number of transnational corporations (TNCs). Sustainable food production is now a global priority and therefore ecological footprints must be reduced - this book provides examples of possible technical changes required to achieve this. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions alone is insufficient: political attention must be paid to declining biodiversity, the increasing global exploration of natural resources, demography, increased consumption, waste mountains, expanding migration and antibiotic resistance. Agribusiness TNCs will challenge national governments and international donors in both research and development, increasing competition for leadership. A gradual societal change, incorporating an understanding of biological fundamentals, is necessary for achieving sustainability and for leading us towards the next agricultural revolution.

        The social context of economic change in Britain

        Between policy and performance

        by Terrence Casey

        This important book, newly available in paperback, examines a period of dramatic economic change in Britain during the Thatcher era. The Conservatives' free market policies generally improved the performance of the economy in Britain, but some parts of the country still did poorly (for example northern England). Casey argues that this was as a result of variations in social contexts - a combination of institutions, interests and economic culture. Southern England, possessing a more individualistic culture and higher levels of entrepreneurialism, has a 'market responsive' social context that can prosper under free market policies. Social context is thus a crucial intervening variable between the policies selected by decision-makers and the performance of economies, the key for enhancing prosperity is the proper match between economic policies and the context in which they are implemented. The social context of economic change in Britain provides an original theoretical framework linking economic growth and civil society and offers a unique insight into the Thatcher era. This book will be of interest to students of British politics and comparative political economy, public policy and political history. ;

        Postartifizielle Literatur

        Lesen im Zeitalter künstlicher Intelligenz

        by Hannes Bajohr

        Mit Programmen wie ChatGPT hat künstliche Intelligenz ein solches Niveau erreicht, dass es kaum noch möglich ist, zu erkennen, ob ein Text von einem Computer stammt oder von einem Menschen. Können Sie zum Beispiel mit Bestimmtheit ausschließen, dass diese Zeilen von einem Algorithmus verfasst wurden? Für die Rezeption von Geschriebenem bedeutet das eine Zeitenwende. Wenn wir stets unterstellen müssen, dass hinter einem Text KI steckt, ergibt die Unterscheidung natürlich/artifiziell keinen Sinn mehr – eine postartifizielle Ära bricht an. Hannes Bajohr erörtert, wie sich diese Verschiebung auf Zeitungsartikel oder wissenschaftliche Publikationen auswirkt und wie sie das literarische Lesen und Schreiben verändert.

        Altruizin und andere kybernetische Beglückungen

        Der Kyberiade zweiter Teil | Vom großen Vordenker und Kritiker der Künstlichen Intelligenz

        by Daniel Mróz, Jens Reuter, Stanisław Lem

        Um verschiedene Formen von Beglückung, ja um nichts weniger als um die Konstruktion des Glücks geht es in diesen drei langen Erzählungen vornehmlich. König Genius, oft von Melancholie und Selbstabscheu geplagt, vermag nur noch in ungewöhnlichen Geschichten Trost zu finden. Darum bestellt er sich beim großen Konstrukteur Trurl gleich drei Erzählmaschinen, die ihm die Zeit vertreiben helfen sollen. In »Altruizin« und »Experimenta Felicitologica« soll die Welt auf kybernetischem Wege erlöst werden. Für die Weltverbesserung gibt es im Prinzip zwei Richtungen, die schlagartige, revolutionäre und die stufenweise, evolutionäre. Was bei dem löblichen Unterfangen der Weltverbesserung alles schiefgehen kann, beschreibt Lem in einem Feuerwerk von brillanten Einfällen, und je edler die Absicht, desto miserabler ist das Ergebnis.

        Roboterethik

        Eine Einführung

        by Janina Loh

        Maschinen und Moral Die Philosophin Janina Loh befasst sich in ihrem grundlegenden Buch mit den moralischen Herausforderungen, die beim Bau von Robotern und im Umgang mit ihnen eine Rolle spielen: Sind Roboter autonom? Können sie gar moralisch handeln? Haben sie einen moralischen Wert? Sollten ihnen Rechte zuerkannt werden? Wer ist zur Rechenschaft zu ziehen, wenn ein Roboter einen Menschen schädigt? Kritisch diskutiert Loh diese und weitere ethische Fragen und stellt die wichtigsten Lösungsansätze vor.
