Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - This study examines the attitude of Egyptian intellectuals toward the rise of Islamic fundamentalism in modern Egypt. At the root of the fundamentalists' doctrine lie the call for a return to Islam and the teachings of Mohammad, and the establishment of an Islamic government which applies Islamic law, the Sharia. During the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries Egypt had witnessed the flourishing of a modernist trend, started and encouraged by Mohammad Ali, which embraced many facets of Egyptian life including science, technology, literature and the emancipation of women. The emergence of the Islamic Brothers' Movement proved a powerful counter-reaction to such modernism for its members held that Western values were a source of evil and the cause of all Egypt's ills. Though at first adopting a moderate approach, the movement became more aggressive in the 1940s and 1950s, especially during the period immediately before and following the assassination of its leader Hasan Al-Banna and the accession of Sayyid Qutb as its spiritual head. Since the 1970s, the teachings in Qutb's book, Milestones, have become the covenant for all Egypt's militant Islamic organizations, including Al-Jihad, the extreme Islamic group behind the assassination of President Sadat in 1981. This book surveys the writings of over 20 Egyptian liberal intellectuals on issues such as the implementation of the Sharia, the rule of Allah and the Islamic state, the caliphate, Jihad, the West, Israel, Jews and Christians, and science. While still contending that Islam is the basis for every aspect of life in Egypt, they are united in their belief that the establishment of an Islamic state would signify a return to theMiddle Ages. They emphasize that Western values do not necessarily contradict Islam, and that without taking advantage of Western scientific and technical progress, Egypt will never solve its social and economic problems. It remains to be seen to what extent their arguments will be allowed to affect development in Egypt.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - The focus of this book is to analyse from a number of perspectives the politics of change in Ireland north and south since 1969. The emergence of the troubles in Northern Ireland, the final push to gain entry to the EEC, changing social mores and severe economic difficulties all begin to appear on the horizon at this stage. While considerable change and, indeed, moments of extreme crisis, have taken place in areas such as Northern Ireland, the economy, moral politics, and Ireland's attitude towards the European Union, continuity has also been a significant hallmark of Irish politics since 1969.This volume offers important perspectives and opens up new debates in explaining the phenomena of continuity, change and crisis in contemporary Ireland. New evidence on the origins of the troubles in Northern Ireland, the Arms Crisis, Ireland's relationship with Europe, the process of social partnership, and the politics of morality all offer important fresh insights into how contemporary Ireland has functioned. Featuring a number of high profile scholars and uniquely dealing with both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, this volume argues that the intriguing feature of recent Irish history is not the absence of change but the extent to which change has been mediated by the existing political cultures, national traditions and long-standing institutions of both north and south.This book was based on a special issue of Irish Political Studies.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - The ASAP's longstanding advocacy of troubled adolescents gains expression in Volume 28 of Adolescent Psychiatry, which focuses on the juvenile justice system and other dimensions of adolescents and the law. A special section on the forensic and legal aspects of adolescent psychiatry traverses the competence of adolescents to consent to treatment; the 'voluntary' hospitalization of adolescents; the utility of residential treatment programs in the management of juvenile delinquency; and Richard Ratner's Schonfeld Lecture, 'Juvenile Justice ' The special demands on psychiatric providers are addressed in Richard Rosner's proposal for the legal regulation of the practice of adolescent psychiatry and Alan Tuckman's and Dominic Ferro's consideration of professional liability and malpractice in adolescent psychiatry. The treatment challenges addressed in Part II are complementary to the focus on the legal aspects of clinical work with adolescents. Contributors address the impact of adolescent hostility on the therapeutic process; the evaluation of teenagers who make threats in school settings; the evaluation and treatment of boys who have been sexually abused by clergy; the psychotherapy of learning-disabled adolescents; and the assessment and treatment of juveniles who commit sex crimes. Volume 28 concludes with two chapters that underscore the ASAP's commitment to timely consideration of the relations among culture, development, and psychopathology. Eugenio Rothe offers a comprehensive overview of Hispanic adolescents and their families and then develops practical guidelines on therapeutic approaches to Hispanic adolescents. And Max Sugar, building on previous examinations of the effects of military experience on late-adolescent males, develops a new conceptualization, 'warrior identity problem,' to explain the postmilitary adjustment problems of certain young male soldiers and the psychopathology observed in some veterans.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Drawing on a wide range of sources, this book analyses the central significance of law in the design and operation of Soviet economic, political, and social institutions. In short, Scott Newton argues here that the Soviet order was a work of law. And, in arguing that it was an exemplary, rather than aberrant, case of the uses to which law was put in twentieth century industrialised societies, this book provides an insightful account, not only of the significance of modern law to the Soviet case, but of significance of the Soviet case for modern law.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - This book provides an overview of the current Internet of Things (IoT) landscape, ranging from the research, innovation and development priorities to enabling technologies in a global context.A successful deployment of IoT technologies requires integration on all layers, be it cognitive and semantic aspects, middleware components, services, edge devices/machines and infrastructures.It is intended to be a standalone book in a series that covers the Internet of Things activities of the IERC - Internet of Things European Research Cluster from research to technological innovation, validation and deployment.The book builds on the ideas put forward by the European Research Cluster and the IoT European Platform Initiative (IoT-EPI) and presents global views and state of the art results on the challenges facing the research, innovation, development and deployment of IoT in the next years.The IoT is bridging the physical world with virtual world and requires sound information processing capabilities for the 'digital shadows' of these real things. The research and innovation in nanoelectronics, semiconductor, sensors/actuators, communication, analytics technologies, cyber-physical systems, software, swarm intelligent and deep learning systems are essential for the successful deployment of IoT applications. The emergence of IoT platforms with multiple functionalities enables rapid development and lower costs by offering standardised components that can be shared across multiple solutions in many industry verticals.The IoT applications will gradually move from vertical, single purpose solutions to multi-purpose and collaborative applications interacting across industry verticals, organisations and people, being one of the essential paradigms of the digital economy. Many of those applications still have to be identified and involvement of end-users including the creative sector in this innovation is crucial.The IoT applications and deployments as integrated building blocks of the new digital economy are part of the accompanying IoT policy framework to address issues of horizontal nature and common interest (i.e. privacy, end-to-end security, user acceptance, societal, ethical aspects and legal issues) for providing trusted IoT solutions in a coordinated and consolidated manner across the IoT activities and pilots.In this, context IoT ecosystems offer solutions beyond a platform and solve important technical challenges in the different verticals and across verticals. These IoT technology ecosystems are instrumental for the deployment of large pilots and can easily be connected to or build upon the core IoT solutions for different applications in order to expand the system of use and allow new and even unanticipated IoT end uses.Technical topics discussed in the book include:1. Digitising industry and IoT as key enabler in the new era of Digital Economy2. IoT Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda3. IoT in the digital industrial context: Digital Single Market4. Integration of heterogeneous systems and bridging the virtual, digital and physical worlds5. Federated IoT platforms and interoperability6. Evolution from intelligent devices to connected systems of systems by adding new layers of cognitive behaviour, artificial intelligence and user interfaces.7. Innovation through IoT ecosystems8. Trust-based IoT end-to-end security, privacy framework9. User acceptance, societal, ethical aspects and legal issues10. Internet of Things Applications.
