The Relational Governance of Artificial Intelligence Forms and Interactions - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Sabine Wiesmüller خلاصه: he book “The Relational Governance of Artificial Intelligence—Forms and Inter- actions” by Sabine Wiesmüller deals both with the theoretical prerequisites and prac- tical possibilities of the governance of “Artificial Intelligence” (AI) in the interplay of social, entrepreneurial, and ethical decision-making logics. In particular, Sabine Wiesmüller’s book aims to contribute to the discussion of a theme that all societies are confronted with today and for which solutions are being sought, namely the complex interactions and network effects of the technological, economic and social aspects of AI. The book focuses on a genuinely interdisciplinary analysis: The overlap and rela- tionalisation between economic, system-theoretical, and ethical language games. Only through such a relationalisation—and this is one of the basic assumptions of the author—can the challenges of the rapidly developing technical and economic possi- bilities, risks, and challenges of artificial intelligence in the economy and society be understood and productively dealt with. The aim of the analysis is therefore twofold: On the one hand, it provides a theo- retical literature reconstruction of the polyvalent forms of governance of AI. On the other hand, it also addresses the practical possibilities for an intersectoral imple- mentation of relational governance of AI. The latter means that the governance of AI must enable and promote the cooperation of the multiple stakeholders involved, especially their interests, resources and decision-making logics. It is therefore about the relational governance of economic and social transactions that relationalise tech- nical logic, economic value creation and ethical demands such as self-interest, trust, integrity and stakeholder legitimacy. In this way, the adaptive approach to uncertainty and process dynamics becomes possibl
Environmental Regulations and Industrial Competitiveness Case Studies of Toxic Industries in Southern California - Original PDF
Environmental Regulations and Industrial Competitiveness Case Studies of Toxic Industries in Southern California - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Ward Thomas • Paul Ong خلاصه: 1 Chapter 1 Environmental Regulations and Industrial Competitiveness Abstract Industries in the U.S. emit billions of pounds of toxic chemicals into the environment every year, resulting in a major risk to human health. Many economists and policy makers, however, are strongly opposed to environmental regulations based on an assumption that regulations lead to a loss of jobs and a declining stan- dard of living for U.S. citizens. The empirical literature on this question has pro- duced mixed results, and this chapter critically assesses several conceptual and methodological issues that are embedded in this literature. Our thesis is that strin- gent environmental regulations have the potential to effectively and efficiently reduce toxic emissions from polluting firms and industries while having a negligible impact on the economic competitiveness of firms and industries. We investigate this thesis through three empirical case studies of polluting industries in Southern California that are highly regulated by the South Coast Air Quality Management District (AQMD): metal finishing, wood furniture, and dry cleaning. We also attempt to reveal the institutional process by which firms comply with environmen- tal regulations. Keywords Environmental regulations · Economic competitiveness · Environmental pollution · Economic externalities · Market failure · Environmental compliance · Technological uncertainty · Innovation · Adoption Introduction Over the last half century, the US federal government has played an active role in regulating the emission of toxic chemicals from polluting firms and industries (Rosenbaum, 2019; Telsey, 2016). Congress passed the Clean Air Act of 1970 “to protect and enhance the quality of the nation’s air resources so as to promote the public health and welfare and the productive capacity of the population” (US Environmental Protection Agency, 2007, p. 2). Congress also created the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) in 1970 to implement and enforce the nation’s environmental law

Insolvent trading and fraudulent trading in Australia : regulation and context - Original PDF
نویسندگان: John V. Gooley; Mitchell Gooley; CCH Australia Limited, خلاصه: Separate legal personality was firmly enunciated by the House of Lords in Salomon v A Salomon & Co Ltd [1897] AC 22; [1895–9] All ER Rep 33. In that case, Aron Salomon had traded successfully on his own as a leather merchant and wholesale boot manufacturer for a number of years. At the time, the Companies Act 1862 (UK) required seven subscribers before a company could be formed. Aron Salomon was keen to have a company structure take over his business and, so as to satisfy the statutory requirement, Aron Salomon, his wife, and four sons and one daughter who were all adults each subscribed for one share in a proposed company to be called ‘Aron Salomon and Company Limited’. The company had a nominal capital of £40,000 divided into 40,000 shares of £1 each. Shortly after registration, the new company took over Aron Salomon’s business. The principal motive was ‘to extend the business and make provision for his family’: at 48. The price for the business was extravagant as it amounted to over £39,000 and was a sum which was described by Lord Macnaghten (at 49) as ‘a sum which represented the sanguine expectations of a fond owner rather than anything that can be called a businesslike or reasonable estimate of value’. The purchase money was paid in the following way: as money came in, sums amounting in all to £30,000 were paid to Aron Salomon and then immediately returned to the company in exchange for fully paid shares

The Craft of Family Therapy: Challenging Certainties - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Salvador Minuchin, Michael D. Reiter, Charmaine Borda خلاصه: Family therapy trainees are inundated with a multitude of family therapy theories. They also have difficulty shifting from an individualistic view to one of seeing interactions and systems. How do therapists hone their own methods with all of these choices? And how do they learn how to best treat families with all of the focus being taken away from their clients and redirected instead on processes? Perhaps most importantly, how can they learn through an inductive process of exploring what has occurred during the therapeutic session? Veteran therapist and founder of Structural Family Therapy, Salvador Minuchin, goes back to basics with his two co-authors Michael D. Reiter and Charmaine Borda in The Craft of Family Therapy. In this book they teach readers basic communication and family therapy skills using some of Dr. Minuchin’s most interesting and illuminating cases. Not only do readers re-learn basic techniques, such as reframing and joining, but they are treated to an in-depth commentary on each case, with Dr. Minuchin emphasizing the techniques he uses that allow him to refocus attention from the Identified Patient to the family as a whole. The book ends with three supervision transcripts from Dr. Minuchin’s students, whose commentary illuminates the struggles, fears, and insecurities that new family therapists face and how they can overcome them. Each of these chapters ends with a consultation interview that Dr. Minuchin conducted with each supervisee’s case family.

Animal Cell Biotechnology Methods and Protocols Fourth Edition - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Ralf Pörtner خلاصه: In summary, this volume constitutes a comprehensive manual of state of the art and new techniques for setting up mammalian cell lines for production of biopharmaceuticals, and optimizing critical parameters for cell culture considering the whole cascade from the lab to the final production. Inevitably, some omissions will occur in the test, but the authors have sought to avoid duplications by extensive cross-referencing to chapters in other volumes of this series and elsewhere. We hope the volume provides a useful compendium of techniques for scientists in industrial and research laboratories that use mammalian cells for biotechnology purposes. The editor is grateful for the support of all the contributors, the series editor Prof. John Walker, Hertfordshire, UK, and the publishers who have made this volume possible.
