Abstract

The question of error in Shakespeare – understood in its broadest senses – has never been so fully examined, and here the task is undertaken with real insight and intellectual vigour.' — Derek Attridge, Professor Emeritus of English Literature at York University, UK, and Fellow of the British Academy 'An illuminating and original approach to a subject of major importance' — Neil Rhodes, Professor at University of St. Andrews, UK Alice Leonard places an ambitious new frame around Shakespeare as exemplary cultural icon, and her deft, quick-witted readings demonstrate a useful new way to approach early modern literature. Derek Attridge, Professor of English Literature at the University of York, UK. The traditional view of Shakespeare’s mastery of the English language is alive and well today. This is an effect of the eighteenth-century canonisation of his works, and subsequently Shakespeare has come to be perceived as the owner of the vernacular. These entrenched attitudes prevent us from seeing the actual substance of the text, and the various types of error that it contains and even constitute it. This book argues that we need to attend to error to interpret Shakespeare’s disputed material text, political-dramatic interventions and famous literariness. The consequences of ignoring error are especially significant in the study of Shakespeare, as he mobilises the rebellious, marginal, and digressive potential of error in the creation of literary drama. Dr Alice Leonard is a Marie-Curie Co-Fund Postdoctoral Fellow at the Institute of Advanced Study, University of Warwick (UK). She has published on the opportunities for digital humanities and textual criticism in revising Shakespeare; on the female audience and Hamlet; and on European linguistic and cultural inclusion in early modern drama. She is Co-editor on the Notebooks volume of The Complete Works of Thomas Browne (OUP). Her new project investigates error in the seventeenth century history of science.

Abstract

These three lectures cover a certain aspect of complexity and black holes, namely the relation to the second law of thermodynamics. The first lecture describes the meaning of quantum complexity, the analogy between entropy and complexity, and the second law of complexity. Lecture two reviews the connection between the second law of complexity and the interior of black holes. Prof. L. Susskind discusses how firewalls are related to periods of non-increasing complexity which typically only occur after an exponentially long time. The final lecture is about the thermodynamics of complexity, and “uncomplexity” as a resource for doing computational work. The author explains the remarkable power of “one clean qubit,” in both computational terms and in space-time terms. This book is intended for graduate students and researchers who want to take the first steps towards the mysteries of black holes and their complexity.

Abstract

This book is a collection of developer code recipes and best practices for persisting data using Spring, particularly Spring Boot. The book is structured around practical recipes, where each recipe discusses a performance case or performance-related case, and almost every recipe has one or more applications. Mainly, when we try to accomplish something (e.g., read some data from the database), there are several approaches to do it, and, in order to choose the best way, you have to know the implied trades-off from a performance perspective. You’ll see that in the end, all these penalties slow down the application. Besides presenting the arguments that favor a certain choice, the application is written in Spring Boot style which is quite different than plain Hibernate. Persistence is an important set of techniques and technologies for accessing and using data, and this book demonstrates that data is mobile regardless of specific applications and contexts. In Java development, persistence is a key factor in enterprise, ecommerce, cloud and other transaction-oriented applications. After reading and using this book, you'll have the fundamentals to apply these persistence solutions into your own mission-critical enterprise Java applications that you build using Spring. You will: Shape *-to-many associations for best performances Effectively exploit Spring Projections (DTO) Learn best practices for batching inserts, updates and deletes Effectively fetch parent and association in a single SELECT Learn how to inspect Persistent Context content Dissect pagination techniques (offset and keyset) Handle queries, locking, schemas, Hibernate types, and more.

Abstract

That the Age of Enlightenment of the 17th and 18th centuries, the spirit of reason, science, humanism and progress, as opposed to obscurantism, has led to the emergence of scientific, disruptive knowledge, even regarding the foundations of Society, is indisputable to anyone using their reason. Thus, were brought about great transformations of Society, which took place. In our time, digital technologies, through enabling observations of otherwise invisible phenomena, induce also a multitude of disruptive practices. As this effect and its inevitable implications continue to accelerate into the future, their integration into the progression of Society and enterprise is now absolutely imperative. The intention of this book is to bring out the intelligence of the progression of Society or of enterprise by enabling the intelligence of living together (Human Sciences), the intelligence of solutions (Natural Sciences) and the intelligence of the artificial (Sciences of Engineering, including the Digital), to connect together through the informational intelligence of services. Such a connection is established thanks to Service Science. It forms the base for the Informational Lights. Michel Léonard is a professor at the University of Geneva since 1977 in Information Systems and Service Science. He has been the initiator of numerous courses and curricula including the Franco-Swiss European DEA MATIS, and of the IESS (International Conference on Exploring Service Science) series of international scientific conferences. His research has focused on the one hand on methods for the design and evolution of information systems, and on the other hand on the creation of database management systems in accordance with these methods. They now focus on Service Science by adding the informational dimension.

Abstract

This book examines the origins and early development of private mental health-care in England, showing that the current spectacle of commercially-based participation in key elements of service provision is no new phenomenon. In 1815, about seventy per cent of people institutionalised because of insanity were being kept in private ‘madhouses’. The opening four chapters detail the emergence of these madhouses and demonstrate their increasing presence in London and across the country during the long eighteenth century. Subsequent chapters deal with specific aspects in greater depth - the insane patients themselves, their characteristics, and the circumstances surrounding admissions; the madhouse proprietors, their business activities, personal attributes and professional qualifications or lack of them; changing treatment practices and the principles that informed them. Finally, the book explores conditions within the madhouses, which ranged from the relatively enlightened to the seriously defective, and reveals the experiences, concerns and protests of their many critics. .

Abstract

Depuis peu, diverses voix s’élèvent pour en appeler à un nouveau pacte social d’ampleur nationale, susceptible de relancer le développement socio-économique de la Belgique. Ces voix proviennent des milieux politiques, patronaux, syndicaux, mutuellistes, scientifiques, médiatiques, etc. Toutefois, si l’expression « pacte social » résonne dans ces différents appels, la teneur des projets diffère, de même que les acteurs qui seraient amenés à les négocier (interlocuteurs sociaux, gouvernement, représentants de la société civile). Ce Courrier hebdomadaire s’interroge sur les perspectives d’émergence d’un pacte social tel que le célèbre « projet d’accord de solidarité sociale » de 1944, qui a notamment établi les institutions de la concertation sociale propres à la Belgique. Élaboré durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, celui-ci a posé les bases des modes de la concertation entre organisations patronales et syndicales, des mécanismes de formation des salaires et des principes de la sécurité sociale. Après avoir rappelé en quoi consistait cet accord fondateur, É. Léonard passe en revue les grandes phases de conclusion, ou de tentatives de conclusion, de pactes sociaux depuis la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, en Belgique et en Europe. Au cours de ces trois quarts de siècle, les rapports de force se sont modifiés, avec notamment un affaiblissement du pouvoir syndical et un accroissement du rôle des gouvernements en matière de formation des salaires. L’étude passe en revue les conditions d’émergence d’un pacte social, avant d’examiner les éléments de contexte (national et international) qui, dans le cas belge actuel, sont favorables ou non à la négociation de pactes sociaux, ainsi que les capacités des acteurs à s’engager dans la négociation d’un accord de ce type. Trois scénarios émergent de cet exercice : la mort des pactes sociaux, la survie de pactes de moyenne portée, ou la naissance d’un nouveau pacte social de grande ampleur
