This book explores the ethical dimensions of borders within the context of Pope Francis's encyclical 'Laudato si' and integrated ethics. It addresses contemporary issues related to political, cultural, and biological borders, emphasizing the ethical challenges and opportunities they present. The work discusses the Catholic perspective on these topics, delving into themes such as integral ecology, technocratic paradigms, and ecological conversion. The author aims to provide resources for an integrated ethics that incorporates pragmatism and scriptural reasoning. The intended audience includes scholars and practitioners interested in Christian ethics, migration, and global outreach. The book's context is shaped by recent global events, offering a timely reflection on the interconnectedness of borders, identity, and ethics.

"Although there are distinctly American artists-Walt Whitman, Herman Melville, Grandma Moses, Thomas Hart Benton, and Andy Warhol, for example-very little attention has been devoted to formulating any distinctively American characteristics of aesthetic judgment and practice. This volume takes a step in this direction, presenting an introductory essay on the possibility of such a distinctly American tradition, and a collection of essays exploring particular examples from a variety of angles. Some of the essays in this collection extend pragmatist and process insights about the important place aesthetics has in molding and assessing experience. Other essays examine the place of American aesthetics in relation to such particular forms of art as painting, literature, music, and film. Three essays attend to the aesthetic aspects of a flourishing life. In each of the essays, American aesthetics is understood to arise out of deeply felt personal, historical, and cultural backgrounds. Consequently, not only are such relatively abstract notions as harmony, fit, elegance, proportion, and the like involved in aesthetic judgment, but also religious, political, and social factors become embroiled in aesthetic discernment. Thus the ongoing pattern of American aesthetics is shown to be distinguishable from such other varieties of aesthetic thought as analytic aesthetics, New Criticism, and postmodern approaches to aesthetics"--

rd This book reports the scientific proceedings of the 23 International Symposium on High Performance Computing Systems and Applications. HPCS 2009 was held at Queen's University at Kingston, June 14-17, 2009. The symposium was hosted by HPCVL in co-operation with Compute Canada. The symposium brought together over 150 scientists from many countries including Brazil, Canada, China, UK, Germany and the USA. As the proceedings demonstrate, their work addresses fundamental HPC-related issues, from programming, to archit- tures, to applications and, finally, to upcoming challenges for HPC. In addition to the scientific program, reported here, the conference was addressed by keynote speakers on various topics including: ¢ Andy Bechtolsheim, Sun Microsystems and Arista. The Road from Peta-FLop To Exa-FLop: Exploring How Technology Road-Maps over the Next Ten Years Will Enable us to Build a Sustained Exa-Flop Computer by 2020.  ¢ Russ Boyd, Alexander McLeod Professor of Chemistry, Dalhousie University. Computational Chemistry: History, Grand Challenges and Opportunities.  ¢ André Bandrauck, Canada Research Chair, Computational Chemistry and Molecular Photonics, Université de Sherbrooke. MAST-Molecular Attosecond Simulations and Theory.  ¢ Wolfgang Gentzsch, DEISA Project. The European e-Infrastructure DEISA for e-Science Grand Challenges.  ¢ Cynthia McIntyre, Sr. V. P. USA Council on Competitiveness. How HPC Will Improve Competitiveness in the US.  ¢ Tony Noble, Queen's University, Director of SNOlab. HPC and the Sudbury Neutrino Laboratory.  ¢ Suzanne Fortier, President, Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada. HPC and the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council.

This volume provides the first comprehensive introduction to the intersections between Christianity and the digital humanities. DH is a well-established, fast-growing, multidisciplinary field producing computational applications and analytical models to enable new kinds of research. Scholars of Christianity were among the first pioneers to explore these possibilities, using digital approaches to transform the study of Christian texts, history and ideas, and innovative work is taking place today all over the world. This volume aims to celebrate and continue that legacy by bringing together 15 of the most exciting contemporary projects, grouped into four categories. "Canon, corpus and manuscript" examines physical texts and collections. "Words and meanings" explores digital approaches to language and linguistics. "Digital history" uses digital techniques to explore the Christian past, and "Theology and pedagogy" engages with digital approaches to teaching, formation and Christian ideas. This volume introduces key debates, shares exciting initiatives, and aims to encourage new innovations in analysis and communication. Christianity and the Digital Humanities is ideally suited as a starting point for students and researchers interested in this vast and complex field.
