Gabriela Polit Dueñas analyzes the work of five narrative journalists from three countries. Marcela Turati, Daniela Rea, and Sandra Rodriguez from Mexico, Patricia Nieto from Colombia, and María Eugenia Ludueña from Argentina produce compelling literary works, but also work under dangerous, intense conditions. What drives and shapes their stories are their affective responses to the events and people they cover. The book offers an insightful analysis of the emotional challenges, the stress and traumatic conditions journalists face when reporting on the region's most pressing problems. It combines ethnographic observations of the journalists' work, textual analysis, and a theoretical reflection on the ethical dilemmas journalists confront on a daily basis. Unwanted Witnesses puts forward a necessary discussion about the place contemporary journalists occupy in the field of production, and how the risks they run speak directly about the limits of our democracies.

The purpose of this work is to provide a critical presentation and some extensions of two perspectives of informational efficiency: On the one hand the neoclassical perspective or «arithmomorphic approach» explains efficiency in terms of a concept mainly based on an explicit economic theory. On the other hand, in the Austrian perspective or «causal genetic approach» attention is drawn to the entrepreneurial element of human decision making related to an arbitrage theory of profit which is not traced back to anonymous market forces but rather to incessant discovery of information guided by entrepreneurial alertness.

For three decades, state-sponsored short filmmaking educated Danish citizens, promoted Denmark to the world, and shaped the careers of renowned directors like Carl Th. Dreyer. A book-length study in English of a national corpus of state-sponsored informational film, this work traces how Danish shorts on topics including social welfare, industry, art and architecture were commissioned, funded, produced and reviewed from the inter-war period to the 1960s.

Der Sammelband zur typologisch und kontrastiv vergleichenden grammatischen Erforschung und Beschreibung des Satzanfangs des Deutschen und vier seiner Kontrastsprachen ist ein Ergebnis eines Forschungsnetzwerks, bestehend aus dem Institut für Deutsche Sprache (Mannheim) und Forschergruppen verschiedener europäischer Universitäten. Unter Berücksichtigung insbesondere morphosyntaktischer und informationsstruktureller Aspekte werden die satztopologischen Unterschiede der typologisch recht heterogenen Sprachen bzw. Sprachfamilien unter verschiedenen Gesichtspunkten beleuchtet. Die Untersuchungen werden korpusbasiert durchgeführt, wobei sich die Hälfte der Beiträge auf aufbereitete POS-getaggte Wikipedia-Korpora stützt. Die quantitativ ausgerichteten Korpusanalysen ermöglichen einen genauen Einblick in die unterschiedlichen Strukturmerkmale der betreffenden Sprachen sowie in sprachübergreifende Textmerkmale, und die qualitativen Untersuchungen zeigen Ähnlichkeiten und Abweichungen bei bestimmten Verfahren, die sich morphosyntaktisch niederschlagen und besonders am Satzanfang relevant sind. Insgesamt erlauben die Beiträge Hypothesen zu topologisch und informationsstrukturell markierten Satzanfängen und zu Präferenzen in den jeweiligen Sprachen, aber auch zu möglichen Konstanten und Gemeinsamkeiten, was - auf differenziertere Korpora erweitert - für die Bereiche Sprache und Kognition sowie computergestützte Übersetzung ein großer Gewinn sein dürfte.

DSP is utilized in just about every electronic system or device. DSP is taking one piece of information be it data, image, video, or audio, most likely compressing, sending, and filtering it to another location within your application to appear in the form of a document, picture or video. Like Smith before it, this book is different to most on the market by following a popular applied approach to this tricky subject, and will be the perfect starting point for engineers who need to get into DSP from the ground floor. This book starts with the absolute basics of this integral process.<

Information theory lies at the heart of modern technology, underpinning all communications, networking, and data storage systems. This book sets out, for the first time, a complete overview of both classical and quantum information theory. Throughout, the reader is introduced to key results without becoming lost in mathematical details. Opening chapters present the basic concepts and various applications of Shannon's entropy, moving on to the core features of quantum information and quantum computing. Topics such as coding, compression, error-correction, cryptography and channel capacity are covered from classical and quantum viewpoints. Employing an informal yet scientifically accurate approach, Desurvire provides the reader with the knowledge to understand quantum gates and circuits. Highly illustrated, with numerous practical examples and end-of-chapter exercises, this text is ideal for graduate students and researchers in electrical engineering and computer science, and practitioners in the telecommunications industry. Further resources and instructor-only solutions are available at www.cambridge.org/9780521881715.

"For too long feminism has been co-opted by the forces they seek to dismantle. In this powerful manifesto, Francoise Verges argues that feminists should no longer be accomplices of capitalism, racism, colonialism and imperialism: it is time to fight the system that created the boss, built the prisons and polices women's bodies. A Decolonial Feminism grapples with the central issues in feminist debates today: from Eurocentrism and whiteness, to power, inclusion and exclusion. Delving into feminist and anti-racist histories, Verges also assesses contemporary activism, movements and struggles, including #MeToo and the Women's Strike. Centring anticolonialism and anti-racism within an intersectional Marxist feminism, the book puts forward an urgent demand to free ourselves from the capitalist, imperialist forces that oppress us."--Publisher description.

Qu’on le déplore ou non, notre rapport au monde biophysique est désormais fermement médiatisé par la mesure et les données numériques. Véritable Janus, cette information dite « environnementale » nous contraint autant qu’elle nous libère et fait l’objet de controverses brûlantes. Vecteur de démocratisation là où elle permet aux populations de connaître les risques qui les concernent et de participer aux décisions environnementales, elle s’avère dangereuse lorsqu’elle renforce des situations de domination sociale, ou appauvrissante quand elle réduit notre compréhension du monde vivant à quelques variables chiffrées. Incapable de représenter la complexité de ce vivant et du rapport que tissent avec lui les humains, elle connecte autant qu’elle marginalise les êtres et les choses. Les enquêtes sud-américaines de cet ouvrage explorent ce que le numérique change aux façons contemporaines d’appréhender les problèmes environnementaux, à travers des récits qui racontent plusieurs tentatives de « mise en bases de données » de la nature au XXIe siècle. De la Pachamama andine au symbole global amazonien, des luttes populaires pour le droit à l’information aux velléités de régulation à distance de l’agrobusiness, des controverses sur la standardisation de nos rapports au vivant aux quêtes de souveraineté informationnelle, c’est à un bilan politique nuancé et complexe que le lecteur est convié.

On 20 October 2022, the day that Radboud University celebrated its 99th anniversary, Dr. Katalin Karikó received a Radboud honorary doctorate in recognition of her scientific contributions to developing mRNA-based vaccines. This edition includes the laudatio of the honorary supervisor and the speech of the honorary doctor.Karikó spent years researching medical applications of mRNA. Her dream was to develop synthetic mRNA and use this to cure cancer, strokes, and influenza. Eventually, after years of toil, rejection, and criticism from colleagues, she and fellow researcher Drew Weissman demonstrated that it is possible to trigger an immune response in the body with mRNA without the body turning against the mRNA itself. With this breakthrough, a new revolutionary technique was born.Thanks to Karikó's scientific work, BioNTech/Pfizer and Moderna were able to develop the current mRNA vaccines against COVID-19. A prime example of the beneficial impact that fundamental research can eventually have on society. Honorary supervisor Floris Rutjes, Professor in Organic Synthesis: "With courage and determination, she pursued her scientific vision for a very long time, and by doing so, she has ultimately made a significant contribution to the fight against viral diseases."
