The Fascination of Early Color Photography

This impressive book was compiled by the two authors Dr. Maria Reitter-Kollmann and Dr. Alfred Weidinger. The scholars are leading experts on the history of color photography at the Oberösterreichische Landes-Kultur GmbH in Linz. The museum holds one of the most important European collections of historical autochromes.

The exciting collection consists of more than 1.000 photographs by photographic pioneers such as the Archduchess, Margarethe of Austria-Tuscany or from the collection of Hans Frank, the founder of the first Austrian photo museum in Bad Ischl. Photographs by important photographers such as Auguste Lumière are also part of this unique collection.

In the coffee table book Autochrome, the authors present the most beautiful and important pieces from this collection in their full glory. In addition to the wonderful pictures, the book also provides a lot of background knowledge about the technique of this first commercially usable color photography. Text in English and German.

This book explores the possibilities for rich and varied social, cultural, and political development under the rule of an autocratic state. Seventeenth-century Muscovite society was theocentric, highly traditional, largely illiterate, and deeply dependent on the state in all aspects of life, and therefore does not at all fit Western definitions of a civil society. Nevertheless, Muscovites found interstices in the overarching autocratic culture in which to conduct their own affairs as they wished. It is this arena of early-modern social autonomy that this book investigates, focusing on the nature and limits of autonomous activity among a small but important part of Muscovite society, the provincial gentry.

The author situates Muscovite history within a comparative framework, demonstrating that seventeenth-century Russia was neither backward nor peculiar, but developed its own variant of the concurrent state-building processes of Western European monarchies. The author’s comparisons enable us to understand and appreciate what the gentry of the Muscovite provinces did and thought, illuminating how they typified early-modern petty nobilities, notably in attempting accommodation with rising states and carving out autonomous spaces within and beneath state control.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

National Bestseller featured by Good Morning America, NPR's Code Switch, The New York Times, and The Guardian

"Greatest Self-Help Books of All Time" —Forbes

"Realistic and trustworthy" —InStyle

"This isn’t just another self-help book. It gives us a clear-eyed look at the way social systems drain our energy, and a concrete set of principles to rely on as we declare independence from these systems." —Martha Beck, New York Times bestselling author of The Way of Integrity

"This book is for anyone who’s ever removed a 'relaxing' sheet mask only to realize it hasn’t transformed you so much as your trash can.” —Jessica DeFino, The Unpublishable

From women’s mental health specialist and New York Times contributor Pooja Lakshmin, MD, comes a long-overdue reckoning with the contradictions of the wellness industry and a paradigm-shifting program for practicing real self-care that will empower, uplift, and maybe even start a revolution.

Board-certified psychiatrist Dr. Pooja Lakshmin finds this cultural embrace of self-care incomplete at best and manipulative at worst. Fixing your troubles isn’t simple as buying a new day planner or signing up for a meditation class. These faux self-care practices keep us looking outward—comparing ourselves with others or striving for a certain type of perfection. Even worse, they exonerate an oppressive social system that has betrayed women and minorities.

In Real Self-Care, Lakshmin helps readers understand what a real practice of caring for yourself could—and does—look like. Using case studies from her practice, clinical research, and the down-to-earth style that she's become known for, Lakshmin provides a step-by-step program for real and sustainable change and solace. Packed with actionable strategies to deal with common problems, Real Self-Care is a complete roadmap for women to set boundaries and move past guilt, treat themselves with compassion, get closer to themselves, and assert their power. The result—having ownership over one’s own life— is nothing less than a personal and social revolution.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The definitive guide to learn to believe in yourself and be able to achieve all the challenges you set for yourself

If we analyze most of the psychological problems that cause us insecurity, stress and even depression, we will see that they are based on a lack of self-esteem. Having good self-esteem is not believing that we are better than others or being more confident in defending our positions or interests, but it is based on believing that we have the skills and resources necessary to be able to successfully address the challenges that life poses to us.

This book proposes a simple and effective method to improve our self-esteem, learn to be assertive and be able to develop our full potential. With clear explanations, multiple pieces of advice and countless testimonies, the author proposes the path to live a fuller and more fulfilled life.

While substantial research has looked backward at the colonial history of language and forward to the potential of decolonizing English for linguistic justice, there is a lack of investigation looking inward at the lived raciolinguistic experiences of multilingual scholars. This edited collection opens a healing space for storytelling and deepens readers' understanding of raciolinguistics in practice through autoethnography. The book brings together language education researchers and scholars, with each author representing and in contact with multiple cultural, linguistic and ethnic backgrounds. Together they create a community of practice to bring scholars with diverse backgrounds together for inward reflections on their lived raciolinguistic experiences. Through this journey, the book empowers both the chapter contributors and readers and allies who may see themselves in the stories to reflect, learn and change their practices, and provides valuable insights into raciolinguistics and autoethnography as a research method.

This work uses autoethnography as an enterprise to deconstruct barriers that support the invisibility of diverse epistemologies. The reality of invisibility and silence has plagued "unvalued others" in their attempt to make known the cultural significance found in the planning and execution of research. As a result, this book purposes to support the visibility and voice of marginalized scholars who conduct autoethnographic research from a racial, gendered, and critical theoretical framework. This work further supports authentic inquiry as it examines and reexamines culturally diverse epistemologies as a viable and valuable framework for conducting autoethnographic research. Specifically, this work highlights racialized epistemologies as an inescapable factor in auotethnographic research in the context of schools.

This book sprang from three handwritten lines by Ivan Bunin, Russia’s first winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature. Found inside a first edition of Mitya’s Love, they led to the discovery of one of the largest corpora of letters written to Ivan and Vera Bunin by two people whose lives and legacy had been, until now, forgotten. These letters are now in the Russian Archive in Leeds (RAL), and are published here for the first time. The book also focuses on memory and history in its purest form, as narrated by witnesses who lived through the most tragic century in Russian history. Their stories involve Grand Dukes, Russian literary and political giants, as well as one of the architects of the Gulag, and show how these lives intertwined. It also sheds new light on the life and works of Chekhov, Gorky, A. Tolstoy, and Bunin.

This book provides a practical and secure guide through the complexity of Autoimmune Diagnostics and Diagnostic Pathways.

In step with actual practice the innovative concept of Diagnostic Pathways leads from symptoms through all steps and branches to diagnosis.

Autokommunikation - Selbstkommunikation - Mit sich (selbst) kommunizieren: Eigentlich möchte man diesen Titel mit einem (oder mehreren) Fragezeichen versehen: »Autokommunikation?« Gibt es das? Kann eine Person Zeichen an sich selbst richten? Selbstgespräche, Tagebücher, Selbstreflexionen, Einkaufs- oder Erinnerungszettel kommen in den Sinn. Aber sind diese Phänomene mit dem Paradigma der Kommunikationstheorie überhaupt faßbar? Kommunikation heißt doch, daß einer (Sender) dem andern (Empfänger) etwas mitteilt?

Auch im Paradigma der autopoietischen Systeme, in denen es keine Übertragung von Zeichen gibt, sondern wo das jeweilige System allen Sinn selbst konstruieren muß, stellen sich Fragen: Ist Autokommunikation eine kognitive Operation, weil sie von einer Person allein vollzogen wird? Oder ist sie eine kommunikative Operation, wie ihr Name 'Autokommunikation' es sagt?

Der vorliegende Band gibt aus der Perspektive des amerikanischen Pragmatismus Antworten auf die gestellten Fragen. Der Text ist in drei Teile gegliedert. Der erste behandelt die bisherige Forschung und Theoriebildung. An dessen Ende steht eine Entwicklungstheorie, welche die Autokommunikation als ein Phänomen zeigt, das sich zeitlich parallel zur >kommunikativen Kompetenz

Musicians have access to an ever-growing array of technological tools, creating a world rich with new artistic possibilities. Yet the incursion of automation technology into creative pursuits has long sparked panic about the threat to human creativity and authenticity. Relating a 120-year history of automation in music, this book provides a timely historical demonstration of how older technologies of automation gave rise to initial unease, which was then followed by integration and exploration of their generative potentials. Journeying from the player piano at the turn of the twentieth century, through the introduction of drum machines and synthesizers, to the holographic pop stars of the twenty-first century, Alyssa Michaud shows how musical subcultures have shifted the parameters of debate around the meaning of automation and creativity. In riveting prose, Automatic Artistry directly addresses the choices we now face as we adapt to the newest wave of automated musical tools.

Automatic complexity is a computable and visual form of Kolmogorov complexity. Introduced by Shallit and Wang in 2001, it replaces Turing machines by finite automata, and has connections to normalized information distance, logical depth, and linear diophantine equations. Automatic Complexity is the first book on the subject and includes exercises with solutions written for the proof assistant Lean, computer programs to calculate automatic complexity, and many open problems.

Automatic sequences are sequences which are produced by a finite automaton. Although they are not random they may look as being random. They are complicated, in the sense of not being not ultimately periodic, they may look rather complicated, in the sense that it may not be easy to name the rule by which the sequence is generated, however there exists a rule which generates the sequence. The concept automatic sequences has special applications in algebra, number theory, finite automata and formal languages, combinatorics on words.

The text deals with different aspects of automatic sequences, in particular:
· a general introduction to automatic sequences
· the basic (combinatorial) properties of automatic sequences
· the algebraic approach to automatic sequences
· geometric objects related to automatic sequences.

For some, automation will usher in a labor-free utopia; for others, it signals a disastrous age-to-come. Yet whether seen as dream or nightmare, automation, argues Munn, is ultimately a fable that rests on a set of triple fictions. There is the myth of full autonomy, claiming that machines will take over production and supplant humans. But far from being self-acting, technical solutions are piecemeal; their support and maintenance reveals the immense human labor behind "autonomous" processes. There is the myth of universal automation, with technologies framed as a desituated force sweeping the globe. But this fiction ignores the social, cultural, and geographical forces that shape technologies at a local level. And, there is the myth of automating everyone, the generic figure of "the human" at the heart of automation claims. But labor is socially stratified and so automation's fallout will be highly uneven, falling heavier on some (immigrants, people of color, women) than others. Munn moves from machine minders in China to warehouse pickers in the United States to explore the ways that new technologies do (and don't) reconfigure labor. Combining this rich array of human stories with insights from media and cultural studies, Munn points to a more nuanced, localized, and racialized understanding of the "future of work."

Mit traditionellen Methoden der Narratologie ist es nur möglich, eine begrenzte Menge von (meist kanonischen) Texten zu untersuchen. Computer hingegen können große Textmengen bewältigen und über die breitere empirische Basis einen neuen Blick auf das literarischen Schaffen eröffnen. Dazu ist es jedoch notwendig, narratologische Konzepte auch automatisch erfassbar zu machen.
Die vorliegende Studie untersucht, wie ein etabliertes Phänomen des Erzählens – die Wiedergabe von Rede, Gedanken und Geschriebenem in narrativen Texten – mit Hilfe automatischer Methoden identifiziert werden kann. Auf der Basis narratologischer Forschungsliteratur wird zunächst ein Annotationsystem für Redewiedergabeformen entwickelt und auf ein Beispielkorpus von deutschsprachigen Erzähltexten angewendet. Anschließend werden Methoden zur automatischen Erkennung und deren Ergebnisse vorgestellt. Prototypen der beschriebenen Redewiedergabeerkenner sind online frei verfügbar.
Die Studie liefert konkrete Ansätze für die automatische Erkennung von Redewiedergabe und demonstriert zugleich Strategien für die Nutzung von Methoden der Digital Humanities in der Narratologie.

In dieser Arbeit wird ein Verfahren entwickelt, mit dem strukturierte linguistische Beschreibungen maschinell erzeugt werden. Ausgangspunkt für eine zu erstellende Beschreibung ist eine Menge von Einzeldaten, die einen bestimmten linguistischen Gegenstandsbereich charakterisieren. Das aus diesen Daten automatisch gewonnene linguistische Wissen wird in der Sprache DATR repräsentiert, einem innerhalb der Computerlinguistik entwickelten vererbungsbasierten Formalismus zur Repräsentation lexikalischer Information.

Die Strukturierung eines gegebenen linguistischen Bereiches erfolgt über die Identifikation und Repräsentation von Beziehungen zwischen den Einzeldaten, durch Generalisierung über den Daten sowie durch Abstraktion von ihren Eigenschaften, was zur Repräsentation linguistischer Klassen führt. Das Lernverfahren, das diese Strukturierung leistet, basiert auf einer Menge von Regeln, die Vererbungsbeziehungen zwischen einzelnen Daten herstellen, und einem Algorithmus, der durch die Inferenz von Default-Information über den Daten generalisiert. Da für eine gegebene Menge von Daten viele unterschiedliche Beschreibungen möglich sind, werden Gütekriterien verwendet, die bestimmen, wodurch sich eine gute Beschreibung für einen konkreten Phänomenbereich auszeichnet. Durch den formalen Vergleich von Beschreibungen in DATR anhand dieser Kriterien erfolgt die Auswahl des Ereignisses.

Die Leistungsfähigkeit des implementierten Verfahrens wird durch Anwendungen auf linguistische Daten aus zwei unterschiedlichen Bereichen gezeigt. In der ersten Gruppe von Aufgaben werden Flexionsklassen auf Grund flektierter Substantivformen des Deutschen gebildet. In den Aufgaben des zweiten Bereichs werden Verben auf Grund ihrer syntaktischen Eigenschaften klassifiziert.

Der neunte Band der Lehrbuchreihe Biomedizinische Technik behandelt umfassend das Themengebiet der ingenieurwissenschaftlichen und klinischen Entwicklung sensorgesteuerter und automatisch geregelter Therapiesysteme, wie z. B. aktiven Implantate oder Transplantate zur Wiederherstellung physiologischer Organfunktionen.
Der Fokus liegt dabei im interdisziplinären Entwurf extra- und intrakorporaler technischer Systeme, die mit physiologischen Funktionssystemen des Körpers, insbesondere des Herzens, des Kreislaufs, der Atmungsorgane, der Nieren, der Leber, der Bauchspeicheldrüse und der Motorik interagieren, kooperieren oder zum Teil diese sogar ersetzen.
