The Hidden Structure of Interaction
Author: Luigi AnolliPublisher: IOS Press
ISBN: 9781586035099
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 308
Book Description
The idea of complexity states that most things tend to organize themselves into recurring patterns, even when these patterns are not immediately visible to an external observer. The general name for the scientific field concerned with the behaviour over time of a dynamic system is complexity theory. The dynamic systems - systems capable of changing over time - are the focus of this approach, and its concern is with the predictability of their behaviour. The systems of interest to the complexity theory, under certain conditions, perform in regular, predictable ways; under other conditions they exhibit behaviour in which regularity and predictability is lost. The concepts of stable and unstable behaviour are part of the traditional repertoire of physical science. What is novel is the concept of something in between - chaotic behaviour. For chaos here we refer to systems which display behaviour that, though it has certain regularities, defies prediction. How does the order emerge from the chaos? How can we predict the behaviour of a chaotic system?Over the last 30 years and more, trying to identify the hidden patterns behind chaotic behaviour became the focus of attention in a number of scientific disciplines. These range as widely as astronomy, chemistry, evolutionary biology, geology and psychology.
Technologie et concurrence – Technology and Competition
Author: Josef DrexlPublisher: Armando Editore
ISBN: 9782804435219
Category : Festschriften
Languages : en
Pages : 774
Book Description
Hanns Ullrich, this highly renowned legal scholar, has had a tremendous influence on legal research and the development of the law in the fields of both Technology and Competition. His expertise dates back to the late 1970s and early 1980s, when he served as a member of the research staff at the Max Planck Institute for Intellectual Property in Munich. In 1985, he became professor of law at the "Universität der Bundeswehr", Munich, and finally, in 2000, professor at the european University Institute, florence. He has acted as visiting professor at a number of Universities around the worldincluding, in particular, the College of Europe, Bruges. The authors of the contributions in this book feel greatly indebted to Hanns Ullrich. Much earlier than others, he recognised and explained that, in the absence of pressure from competition, intellectual property will not be able to fulfil its mission of enhancing innovation. In concentrating on the fields of interest of this eminent scholar, the contributions address a number of the most burning issues of the regulation of intellectual property, competition law and, of course, the application of competition law to IP-related cases.

Las almas heridas
Author: Boris CyrulnikPublisher: Editorial GEDISA
ISBN: 8497849612
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 222
Book Description
Las almas heridas es un libro sobre las huellas de la infancia, la necesidad del relato y los mecanismos de la memoria, elementos desarrollados a partir de la narración de sus vivencias personales hasta su adolescencia. Boris Cyrulnik, un joven cuyas inquietudes intelectuales ya se encaminan por las lindes de la psiquiatría, y que realiza sus primeras prácticas en un asilo para enfermos mentales (donde quedará en shock tras comprobar el aislamiento y las malas prácticas a las que son sometidos los pacientes: lobotomías, camisas de fuerza, etc.). Su nueva obra Les ames blessées (Las almas heridas) no es ni una autobiografía ni un libro de historia de la psiquiatría: se trata de un testimonio personal sobre el nacimiento de una disciplina difícil y apasionante que denominamos psiquiatría.

Aggression and Peacefulness in Humans and Other Primates
Author: James SilverbergPublisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0195361237
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 327
Book Description
This book explores the role of aggression in primate social systems and its implications for human behavior. Many people look to primate studies to see if and how we might be able to predict violent behavior in humans, or ultimately to control war. Of particular interest in the study of primate aggression are questions such as: how do primates use aggression to maintain social organization; what are the costs of aggression; why do some primates avoid aggressive behavior altogether. Students and researchers in primatology, behavioral biology, anthropology, and psychology will read with interest as the editors and contributors to this book address these and other basic research questions about aggression. They bring new information to the topic as well as an integrated view of aggression that combines important evolutionary considerations with developmental, sociological and cultural perspectives.
The Biology of Religious Behavior
Author: Jay R. FeiermanPublisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 0313364311
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 325
Book Description
Offers a fresh and detailed take on the evolution of religious behavior from a biobehavioral perspective, promoting a new understanding that may help build bridges across the religious divide. There has been much recent interest in the study of religion from the perspective of Darwinian evolution. The Biology of Religious Behavior: The Evolutionary Origins of Faith and Religion offers a broad overview of the topic, written by internationally recognized experts. In addition to its primary focus on religious behavior, the book addresses other important aspects of religion, such as values, beliefs, and emotions as they affect behavior. The contributors approach the evolution of religion by examining the behavior of individuals in their everyday lives. After describing various religious behaviors, the contributors consider the behaviors with reference to their evolutionary history, development during the lifetime of the individual, proximate causes, and adaptive value. Happily, this foray into understanding religion from a biobehavioral perspective demonstrates that, at the biological and behavioral levels, what unites the different religions of the world is far greater than what divides them.
