Covering Extended Reality Technologies in the Media

This book presents a study of the news coverage of extended reality technologies (virtual augmented and mixed reality; or XR) and how this news corresponds with the marketing of XR products. Focusing on a group of recently emerging technological products the book offers in-depth analysis of the news coverage of XR technologies and explores the overlap between news discourse and promotional discourse by comparing the way these products are framed in the news and their marketing materials. Using both quantitative and qualitative data it discusses the topics covered in XR news as well as the sources used and the specific framing techniques that appear in both XR news and marketing materials. In addition to these findings it also provides a set of frame categories that can be used by other researchers analysing the media coverage of emerging technologies. Ultimately arguing that the news represents XR in such a way that treats readers as consumers instead of citizens prioritising the interests of XR companies rather than news audiences this book will be of interest to students and researchers in media and communications discourse studies journalism PR and marketing and innovation studies as well as XR practitioners. | Covering Extended Reality Technologies in the Media

Memories of the Second World War in Neutral Europe 1945–2023

This edited volume is a sequel to and a development of The Long Aftermath: Cultural Legacies of Europe at War 1936–2016 (2016). It focuses on the six major European countries and states that remained officially neutral throughout the Second World War namely Ireland Portugal Spain Sweden Switzerland and the Vatican. Its transnational comparative and interdisciplinary approach addresses complex questions pertaining to collective remembrance national policies and politics and intellectual as well as cultural responses to neutrality during and after the conflict. The contributions are from a broad range of scholars working across the disciplines of history literature film media and cultural studies. Their thought-provoking chapters challenge many assumptions about neutrality in the post-war European and global context thereby filling a gap in the existing scholarship. Common themes that run through the volume include the intertwined and dynamic links between neutrality and moral responsibility during and after the Second World War the importance of memory politics and popular culture in shaping collective memories and the impact of the Holocaust in shifting traditional perspectives on neutrality since the 1990s. This volume will be of interest to undergraduates postgraduates scholars interested in the field of memory studies as well as non-specialist readers. | Memories of the Second World War in Neutral Europe 1945–2023

Neutral Europe and the Creation of the Nonproliferation Regime 1958-1968

Lottaz Iwama and their contributors investigate the role of neutral and nonaligned European states during the negotiations for the Treaty on the Nonproliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT). Focusing on the years from the Irish Resolution of 1958 until the treaty’s opening for signatures ten years later the nine chapters written by area experts highlight the processes and reasons for the political and diplomatic actions the neutrals took and how those impacted the multilateral treaty negotiations. The book reveals new aspects of the dynamics that lead to this most consequential multilateral breakthrough of the Cold War. In part one three chapters analyze the international system from a bird’s eye perspective discussing neutrality nonalignment and the nuclear order. The second part features six detailed case studies on the politics and diplomacy of Ireland Sweden Finland Switzerland Austria and Yugoslavia. Overall this study suggests that despite the volatile and dangerous nature of the early Cold War the balance of the strategic environment enabled actors that were not part of one or the other alliance system to play a role in the interlocking global politics that finally created the nuclear regime that defines international relations until today. A valuable resource for scholars of nonproliferation the Cold War neutrality nonalignment and area studies. | Neutral Europe and the Creation of the Nonproliferation Regime 1958-1968

Ideology and Conference Interpreting A Case Study of the Summer Davos Forum in China

Gao uses the case of conference interpreting at the Summer Davos Forum in China to systematically reveal the ways in which ideology and linguistic ‘re-engineering’ can lead to discourse reconstruction. Translation and interpreting can never be wholly neutral practices in ‘multi-voiced’ transnational communication. Gao employs an innovative methodological synthesis to examine in depth a range of elements surrounding interpreters’ ideological positioning. These include analysing the appraisal patterns of the source and target texts identifying ‘us’-and-‘them’ discourse structures investigating interpreters’ cognitions and examining the crossmodal means by which interpreters render paralanguage. Collectively they bridge the gap between socio-political and ideological concerns on the one hand and practical questions of discourse reconstruction in cross-language/ cultural events on the other offering a panoramic perspective. An invaluable read for scholars in translation and interpreting studies particularly those with an interest in political discourse or the international relations context. | Ideology and Conference Interpreting A Case Study of the Summer Davos Forum in China

Liberalism and Naval Strategy Ideology Interest and Sea Power During the Pax Britannica

Liberalism and Naval Strategy (1986) examines the role that liberalism played in shaping the naval strategy of the Pax Britannia. Liberalism was linked to commercial interest and the devotion of the middle classes to peaceful commerce and their suspicion of force as government policy helped to inform critical choices. The traditional British naval strategy of the mercantilist era persisted into the early nineteenth century when the Royal Navy’s policing of the seas against piracy and the slave trade antagonized trade rivals particularly America. By the 1850s Britain granted immunity to neutral shipping – after much debate with some of the century’s leading thinkers including Mill and Marx taking prominent parts in the naval controversies. This book examines these events as well as the writings of contemporary naval strategists including the Colomb brothers. It also discusses the strategic posture of the Admiralty and its opponents before and during the war against Germany in 1914. | Liberalism and Naval Strategy Ideology Interest and Sea Power During the Pax Britannica

The Milne Papers Volume III: The Royal Navy and the American Civil War 1862–1864

This collection covers the period February 1862-March 1864 which constituted the final two years and one month that Rear-Admiral Sir Alexander Milne commanded the Royal Navy’s North America and West India Station. Its chief focus is upon Anglo-American relations in the midst of the American Civil War. Whilst the most high-profile cause of tension between the two countries — the Trent Affair — had been resolved in Britain’s favour by January 1862 numerous sources of discord remained. Most turned on American efforts to blockade the so-called Confederacy efforts that often ran afoul of international law not to mention British amour-propre. As commander of British naval forces in the theatre Milne’s decisions and actions could and did have a major impact on the state of affairs between his government and that of the US. While noting in one private exchange with the British ambassador to Washington Richard Lord Lyons that he had been enjoined to abstain from any act likely to involve Great Britain in hostilities with the United States Milne added ominously yet I am also instructed to guard our Commerce from all illegal interference and it is plain from his correspondence that both he and the British government were prepared to use force in that undertaking. Thus between apparently high-handed behaviour by the US Navy and Milne’s and the Palmerston government’s resolve not to be pushed beyond a certain point the ingredients for a major confrontation between the two countries existed. Yet most of Milne’s efforts were directed toward preventing such a confrontation from occurring. In this endeavour he was joined by Lyons and by the British government. No vital British interest was at stake in the conflict raging between North and South and thus the nation was unlikely to become directly involved in it unless provoked by rash US actions. Yet there was no shortage of such provocations: the seizure of British merchant vessels bound from one neutral port to another detaining such ships without first conducting a search of their cargo for evidence of contraband of war the de facto blockade of British colonial ports apparent violations of British territorial waters the seizure of British merchantmen off the neutral port of Matamoros Mexico and the use of neutral ports as bases of operations by US warships among them. In responding to these and other sources of dispute between the US and Britain Milne proved adept at pouring oil on troubled waters so much so that in a late 1863 letter to Foreign Secretary Lord Russell Lyons lamented his impending departure from the station: I am very much grieved at his leaving…. No change of admirals could be for the better. This collection centres upon Milne’s private correspondence especially that between him and Lyons First Lord of the Admiralty the Duke of Somerset and First Naval Lord Vice Admiral Sir Frederick Grey. It also includes private letters to and from many of Milne’s other professional correspondents and important official correspondence with the Admiralty. | The Milne Papers Volume III: The Royal Navy and the American Civil War 1862–1864

Engineered Bamboo Structures

Bamboo is in the spotlight as a potential building material in the current pursuit of a CO2-neutral society due to its rapid maturation and excellent mechanical properties. Despite the growing interest in bamboo in academia and society there is a lack of systematic understanding of the fabrication design and construction processes using bamboo as a modern industrial material. This is the first book to describe a new category of structural systems constructed with engineered bamboo. It gives a definition of engineered bamboo (glubam) in an analogy with steel structures and wood structures. Structural systems and components have been designed using glubam; then industrialized production processes of glubam are described. Based on state-of-the-art research design guidelines are suggested in a comparable and parallel approach to the existing guidelines for composite wood structures. The book also discusses bamboo structures in the context of sustainable development including the benefits of using bamboo as an alternative or replacement for wood especially for developing countries many of which are faced with the lack or destruction of forest resources. | Engineered Bamboo Structures

Russian Pogroms and Jewish Revolution 1905 Class Ethnicity Autocracy in the First Russian Revolution

This book based on extensive original research examines the widespread and violent pogroms against Jews which took place in the Russian Empire in 1905. It briefly surveys the earlier history of Jews in the Russian Empire and the discriminatory policies against them. The work outlines the extent of the killings and lootings in 1905 explores the role of the authorities who were often neutral or complicit in the violence and highlights Jewish self-defense measures. It relates the pogroms to the place of the Jews in Russian urban and rural life to social change and modernisation and to the revolutionary events of 1905 in which Jews played a prominent role and during which calls for ethnic self-determination arose among many nationalities of the Russian Empire most broadly and consequentially among Jews. Overall the book views the pogroms as a consequence not only of Russian antisemitism but of the broader revolutionary breakdown of Russian state and society in 1905. | Russian Pogroms and Jewish Revolution 1905 Class Ethnicity Autocracy in the First Russian Revolution

Escaping Nazi Europe Understanding the Experiences of Belgian Soldiers and Civilians in World War II

This book chronicles the escapes attempted by Belgian soldiers and civilians from Nazi-occupied Europe during the Second World War. Insofar as is practical the authors have tried to let the subjects speak for themselves by making extensive use of their testimonies preserved in archives in Belgium and the United Kingdom. The book begins with the stories of soldiers who managed to evade capture in the summer of 1940 and returned home and the few that decided to continue the fight and joined the Allied forces in the United Kingdom. It also includes the prisoners of war who managed to escape from camps or Arbeitskommando inside the Reich and provides a detailed analysis of their narratives: their motivation for going on the run their choices on when and how to travel and the many obstacles they encountered along the way. Most escapees were content to return home with some then joining resistance organisations but a small minority were committed to joining the Allies and further chapters recount their attempts to reach Spain and Switzerland and the additional problems they encountered in those neutral states. Final chapters reflect on the penalties inflicted on prisoners of war who were recaptured and on the escapees’ struggle for recognition in the post-war world. | Escaping Nazi Europe Understanding the Experiences of Belgian Soldiers and Civilians in World War II

Critical Views of Logic

This book examines positions that challenge the Fregean logic-first view. It raises critical questions about logic by examining various ways in which logic may be entangled with mathematics and metaphysics. Is logic topic-neutral and general? Can we take the application of logic for granted? This book suggests that we should not be dogmatic about logic but ask similar critical questions about logic as those Kant raised about metaphysics and mathematics. It challenges the Fregean logic-first view according to which logic is fundamental and hence independent of any extra-logical considerations. Whereas Quine assimilated logic and mathematics to the theoretical parts of empirical science the present volume explores views that stop short of his thoroughgoing holism but instead take logic to be answerable to or entangled with some particular disciplines. The contributions provide views that assign primacy to mathematical reasons Kantian metaphysical grounds Husserlian transcendental phenomenological reflection or normative considerations about how terms ought to be defined in various fields of empirical science or mathematics. Space is thereby carved out between a Fregean position on the one hand and Quinean holism on the other. Critical Views of Logic will be a key resource for academics researchers and advanced students of philosophy linguistics mathematics and computer science as well as those engaged in various fields of empirical science. The chapters in this book except for chapter 4 were originally published in the journal Inquiry.

Small and Medium Enterprises Law and Business Uncertainty and Justice

The law plays an ambiguous role in running business. While legal tools can be used to tame uncertainties for example by concluding contracts to safeguard enforcement of future claims they can also generate uncertainty. These secondary uncertainties like ones stemming from vague rights and obligations may be counterbalanced by using different resources and strategies including acting informally modifying business plans or accepting the losses from unpaid dues. This book discusses how small and medium enterprises use the law abstain from using the law and use alternative pathways to manage business uncertainties. Examining these topics through the lenses of an extensive qualitative and quantitative empirical study on justiciable issues access to justice and legal uncertainty among SMEs in Poland it implements and expands upon the paradigmatic paths to justice methodology which has been successfully used to study conflict resolution access to justice and utilisation of the law by individuals in more than 30 jurisdictions. It argues that the grand promise of modern law - that it is a certainty-providing neutral and democratic device to resolve problems and conflicts - is not fully delivered. It reveals how the conditions of a freshly developed capitalism combined with the rule of law backsliding contribute to universal structural problems with access to justice meaning that accessing justice is a resource-hungry process which incentivises small businesses to settle for their legal problems and engage in informal and alternative strategies. | Small and Medium Enterprises Law and Business Uncertainty and Justice

Regeneration through Sport Football Sport and Cultural Modernization in Spain 1890-1920

This book examines how and why sport in general and football in particular entered the country and developed successfully between 1890 and the 1920s while placing that growth within the context of Spain’s larger historical experience. The introduction of sport in the late 19th century permanently changed the day-to-day lives of thousands of Spaniards. Initially the country’s growing urban middle-classes embraced the new activity as they built community identities and were introduced to it through economic and educational connections to foreigners. To justify this these proponents argued that the adoption of physical education and sport would physically regenerate the nation. In response well-rounded sporting communities grew developed medical arguments and even debated the activity’s appropriateness for different groups like women. As sport spread it produced the first football clubs around the turn of the century. Subsequently in the 1910s and early 1920s football established the structural institutions like stadiums stars regulatory bodies and a press that enabled its rapid expansion as a mass consumer activity in the late 1920s. Regeneration through Sport looks at how this process embedded the sport within the national culture and established itself as a politically neutral activity before the Spanish Second Republic allowing it to become almost ubiquitous today. This book will appeal to researchers students and scholars alike who are interested in the history of sport Spain and European history. | Regeneration through Sport Football Sport and Cultural Modernization in Spain 1890-1920

Agent Relative Ethics

Agent Relative Ethics asks what the world would look like if we adopted agent relativity wholeheartedly clinging to no shred of absolute morality. Alastair MacIntyre’s haunting image of a post-apocalyptic world in which our knowledge of ethics has been fragmented poses a contrast between modern morality and ancient ethics. The two stand divided along the fault line of the nature of the good. Modern ethics has placed its stake in the absolute good while ancient ethics rests upon the foundation of the relative good. Following the lead of Bernard Williams Agent Relative Ethics identifies alienation as a disturbing symptom of the present focus upon absolute goods. It then completes the diagnosis of the malady afflicting modern moral theory by clarifying the difference between absolute and relative goods. The remainder of the book explores how agent relativity can overcome the modern fragmentation of our ethical knowledge. Not just any relative goods can rectify the modern disorder. Only shared goods belonging to a union of individuals are sufficiently robust to overthrow the contemporary despotism of neutral goods. These shared goods exhibit many parallels with common sense morality including partiality impartiality punishment and an antagonism toward harmfully using others together with a more lenient attitude toward foreseeing harm. The final chapters probe the conditions often unpalatable to the modern mind by which ethics might be restored. Agent Relative Ethics will be of interest to scholars and advanced students working in ethics and moral theory ancient ethics and the history of philosophy.

The Ethics of Interpretation From Charity as a Principle to Love as a Hermeneutic Imperative

This book discusses the ethical dimension of the interpretation of texts and events. Its purpose is not to address the neutrality or ideological biases of interpreters but rather to discuss the underlying issue of the intervention of interpreters into the process of interpretation. The author calls this intervention the ethical aspect of interpretation and argues that interpreters are neither neutral nor necessarily activists. He examines three models of interpretation all of which recognize the role that interpreters play in the process of interpretation. In these models the question of the truth or validity of interpretation is dependent upon the attitude of interpreters. These three models are: (1) the principle of charity in interpretation in the two different versions defended by Hans-Georg Gadamer and Donald Davidson; (2) the production of truth as developed by Paul Ricoeur and Michel Foucault; and (3) the regulative principle in interpretation as formal validity claims—as presented by Karl-Otto Apel and Jürgen Habermas—and as benevolence or love as an epistemic virtue—as defended by Friedrich Schlegel and Friedrich Schleiermacher. The critical discussion of these three models which brings to the fore the different manners in which interpreters intervene in the process of interpretation as persons lays the foundations for an ethics of interpretation. The Ethics of Interpretation will be of interest to scholars and advanced students working in hermeneutics 19th- and 20th-century philosophy literary theory and cultural theory. | The Ethics of Interpretation From Charity as a Principle to Love as a Hermeneutic Imperative

Plasma Applications for Material Modification From Microelectronics to Biological Materials

This book is an up-to-date review of the most important plasma-based techniques for material modification from microelectronics to biological materials and from fusion plasmas to atmospheric ones. Each its technical chapters is written by long-experienced internationally recognised researchers. The book provides a deep and comprehensive insight into plasma technology and its associated elemental processes and is illustrated throughout with excellent figures and references to complement each section. Although some of the topics covered can be traced back several decades care has been taken to emphasize the most recent findings and expected evolution. The first time the word ‘plasma’ appeared in print in a scientific text related to the study of electrical discharges in gases was 1928 when Irving Langmuir published his article ‘Oscillations in Ionized Gases’. It was the baptism of the predominant state of matter in the known universe (it is estimated that up to 99% of matter is plasma) although not on earth where the conditions of pressure and temperature make normal the states of matter (solid liquid gas) which in global terms are exotic. It is enough to add energy to a solid (in the form of heat or electromagnetic radiation) to go into the liquid state from which gas is obtained through an additional supply of energy. If we continue adding energy to the gas we will partially or totally ionise it and reach a new state of matter plasma made up of free electrons atoms and molecules (electrically neutral particles) and ions (endowed with a positive or a negative electric charge). | Plasma Applications for Material Modification From Microelectronics to Biological Materials
