Cybersecurity refers to the set of technologies, practices, and strategies designed to protect computer systems, networks, devices, and data from unauthorized access, theft, damage, disruption, or misuse. It involves identifying and assessing potential threats and vulnerabilities, and implementing controls and countermeasures to prevent or mitigate them. Some major risks of a successful cyberattack include: data breaches, ransomware attacks, disruption of services, damage to infrastructure, espionage and sabotage. Cybersecurity Risk Management: Enhancing Leadership and Expertise explores this highly dynamic field that is situated in a fascinating juxtaposition with an extremely advanced and ...
The Routledge Handbook of Neuroethics offers the reader an informed view of how the brain sciences are being used to approach, understand, and reinvigorate traditional philosophical questions, as well as how those questions, with the grounding influence of neuroscience, are being revisited beyond clinical and research domains. It also examines how contemporary neuroscience research might ultimately impact our understanding of relationships, flourishing, and human nature. Written by 61 key scholars and fresh voices, the Handbook’s easy-to-follow chapters appear here for the first time in print and represent the wide range of viewpoints in neuroethics. The volume spotlights new technologies ...
This book addresses the question of what it means to be moral and which capacities one needs to be moral. It questions whether empathy is a cognitive or an affective capacity, or perhaps both. As most moral beings behave immorally from time to time, the authors ask which factors cause or motivate people to translate their moral beliefs into action? Specially addressed is the question of what is the role of internal factors such as willpower, commitment, character, and what is the role of external, situational and structural factors? The questions are considered from various (disciplinary) perspectives.
The complexities of the brain and nervous system make neuroscience an inherently interdisciplinary pursuit, one that comprises disparate basic, clinical, and applied disciplines. Behavioral neuroscientists approach the brain and nervous system as instruments of sensation and response; cognitive neuroscientists view the same systems as a solitary computer with a focus on representations and processes. The Oxford Handbook of Social Neuroscience marks the emergence of a third broad perspective in this field. Social neuroscience emphasizes the functions that emerge through the coaction and interaction of conspecifics, the neural mechanisms that underlie these functions, and the commonality and d...
The number of digital gamers is increasing worldwide, but public debates about digital games commonly focus on questionable game content or problematic gaming behavior. This book offers a broader ethical perspective on digital game cultures, presenting theoretical and empirical work on the ethical dimensions of the development, production and distribution of digital games, as well as issues relating to responsible gaming and the pedagogical use of digital games. Questions of the communicative-cultural change in game cultures are linked with questions of media education and media ethics. With such a comprehensive approach, the volume promotes ethical discourse on digital game cultures.
This paperback is the conference documentation of the fifth Seminar on MODERN SYNTHETIC METHODS 1989. It is the aim of these triennial Interlaken-Seminars to provide a proper, concine and "ready for use" acceos to important and rapidly developing areas of synthetic organic chemistry. Usefu.l synthetic methods have to combine economic and ecological aspects. The search for such methods is a continuous scientific challenge. It implies a solid knowledge ãd updated information on current prospects in biochemistry, organic as well as inorganic chemiotry. The main themes of the 1989-Seminar are "Biotransformations in Organic Synthesis", "Enantioselective Catalyois with Metal Complexes" and "Alumi...
This Second Edition of TAKING SIDES: CLASHING VIEWS IN MANAGEMENT presents current controversial issues in a debate-style format designed to stimulate student interest and develop critical thinking skills.

USING TAKING SIDES IN THE CLASSROOM is also an excellent instructor resource with practical suggestions on incorporating this effective approach in the classroom. Each TAKING SIDES reader features an annotated listing of selected World Wide Web sites and is supported by our student website, www.mhcls.com/online.
This paperback is the conference documentation of the fifth Seminar on Modern Synthetic Methods. It is the aim of these triennial Interlaken Seminars to provide a proper, concise and ready-for-use access to important and rapidly developing areas of synthetic organic chemistry. The book compiles contributions provided by the lecturers, each a leading expert in his field. The reviews are praxis-oriented, they describe the basic concepts and their application in organic synthesis and they contain as an integral part representative experimental procedures.
