"In an era marked by geopolitical fragmentation and global crises, how can we envision a more stable and inclusive planetary order? This pioneering volume calls for a radical rethinking of international relations-moving beyond the Westphalian state system to embrace a civilizational dialogue rooted in shared histories, values, and mutual concern. The collection brings together leading scholars to explore the idea of tianxia (all under heaven) as a conceptual and moral framework for reimagining global order. Drawing from East Asian traditions and others, contributors interrogate concepts like empire, liberalism, Confucianism, and cosmopolitanism to assess the possibilities of intercultural cooperation in a post-national future. At the heart of the book is a critical yet hopeful proposition: that civilizational dialogues-despite the exclusionary implications of such discourse-can help us imagine planetary futures beyond binaries like "the West and the Rest." Instead of universalizing one worldview, the chapters advocate for "differing for one another," a relational equity that acknowledges diversity and fosters solidarity through accommodation, empathy, and shared planetary concerns such as climate, pandemics, and global justice. With contributions spanning political theory and comparative philosophy to historical reflection and Confucian civic education, Beyond the Nation-State offers not only a critique of current global paradigms but also a constructive path forward"-- Provided by publisherEmpires as Vectors and Vehicles of Civilization -- The Age of Universality and Planetary Pragmatism -- Towards the Civilization of Universals: Tianxia Put to the Test in the New Dialogue with Universal Others -- Humanism, Civilizational Dialogue, and China's Role: Irving Babbitt Versus John Dewey, One Hundred Years On -- Tianxia: An Alternative Model of Global Justice -- The Tianxia Model and Its American Liberal Complement -- Building Trust Amidst Global Disorder: The Confucian Aspiration to Bring Peace to Tianxia -- Sublating the Civilizational Dialogue: Chinese Modernization and Two Kinds of Confucianism -- Confucian Civic Education: A Potential Contribution to Establishing a Harmonious Planetary Order -- Neo-Confucianism as Cosmopolitan Democracy: Impartial Mind as a Solution to the Legitimation Gap -- Daoist Temporality and Its Modern Relevancies -- From Individual Autonomy and Equality to Relational Equity and Diversity: Rethinking the Relationship Between China and the Liberal West.edited by Roger T.

This book provides a comprehensive ethical examination of infant male circumcision through the lens of human rights theory. Drawing on over 30 years of clinical experience and extensive research, Robert S. Van Howe presents a systematic analysis of one of medicine's most controversial practices.The book addresses fundamental questions about moral status, bodily integrity, and informed consent in medical decision-making. Van Howe employs diverse ethical frameworks-from Kantian categorical imperatives to utilitarian analysis-to examine whether infant circumcision constitutes a human rights violation. The analysis includes detailed comparisons with female circumcision practices and a thorough examination of the moral status of infants and whether they are the subject of human rights protections. With clear explanations of bioethical principles and logical fallacies, the book serves both scholarly audiences and educated general readers interested in medical ethics, human rights, and cultural practices. Van Howe offers practical solutions, including delayed consent options, while challenging readers to consider whether this common procedure can be ethically justified in modern liberal societies.Infant Circumcision and Human Rights is a valuable resource for researchers, students, and medical practitioners working in bioethics, religious ethics, and pediatric medicine.Robert S. van HoweEthics & moral philosophyHuman rightsCivil rights & citizenshipMedical ethics & professional conductPaediatric medicineReligious ethicsPHILOSOPHY / Ethics & Moral PhilosophyMEDICAL / Ethics392.1https://www.dietmardreier.de/annot/426F6F6B446174617C7C393738313034313330353730357C7C434F50.jpg?sq=49781003775164rdaDE-62726100620261006101942.01985676540Converted from MARCXML to MODS version 3.6 using MARC21slim2MODS3-6.xsl (Revision 1.119 2018/06/21)ger info:srw/schema/1/mods-v3.5 xml 7And Other Tales From the Wild, Unseen World of Test EngineeringDavies, AlexVerfasserInauttextTextbookxxNew YorkW.

When a manufacturer offers a 10,000-mile warranty on a car or slaps a bear-resistant label on a camping cooler, what do we know about how trustworthy that promise is, and how its backed up? For the cooler, its Kobuk the Destroyer, the fiercest member of the Interagency Grizzly Bear Committees panel of product-testing bears: Gifted at cracking locks and foiling manufacturers, Kobuk and his fellow bears play a crucial role in keeping us (and our snacks) safe. For everything else-as journalist Alex Davies reveals in this freewheeling tour of the hidden work that keeps the modern world going, safely and dependably-we have test engineers, who imagine how anything and everything could go wrong, and fight back.From echo-proof chambers to Formula 1 wind tunnels to airplane hangars turned torture labs, Davies takes readers behind the scenes of a workforce that combats contingency with equal parts analytical rigor and wild imagination. Armed with sixty-foot cannons that fire frozen chickens into jet engines, rocket sleds so fast they knock fillings out of teeth, and Lazy Susans for tasting hundreds of cups of tea a day, test engineers break it so you can buy it.But failure is a stubborn opponent: The tsunami will overtop the dam, the chatbot will give bad advice, the bear will eat your sandwich. Test engineers dont just prevent disaster; they limit its fallout and make peace with its reality by balancing risk against reward. In an age of climate crisis, run-amok tech, and eroding trust in public institutions, knowing how they do it-and how we might do the same-is more valuable than ever before.Brimming with humor and insight, Kobuk the Destroyer is a celebration of human ingenuity and a deeply human story about uncertainty, resilience, and the art of making a fragile world a little more reliable.Alex DaviesScientific equipment, experiments & techniquesEngineering: generalIndustrial quality controlIndustrial applications of scientific research & technological innovationSCIENCE / Experiments & ProjectsTECHNOLOGY & ENGINEERING / Engineering (General)TECHNOLOGY & ENGINEERING / Quality ControlTEC066000https://www.dietmardreier.de/annot/426F6F6B446174617C7C393738313332343035313239397C7C434F50.jpg?sq=29781324051305rdaDE-62726100620261006101932.01985671611Converted from MARCXML to MODS version 3.6 using MARC21slim2MODS3-6.xsl (Revision 1.119 2018/06/21)ger info:srw/schema/1/mods-v3.5 xml 8AbschlussberichtLebedev, VictorVerfasserInautNordenström, SimonVerfasserInautMiddelmann, ThomasVerfasserInautPhysikalisch-Technische BundesanstaltHerausgebendes Organisbtexttechnical reportTextForschungsberichtgwXA-DE-NIHannoverTechnische Informationsbibliothek2026single unitger

An der Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) wurde ein Konzept für ein optisch gepumptes Magnetometer (OPM) entwickelt, dass für die Magnetomyographie (MMG) geeignet ist und gleichzeitig robust gegenüber Störungen durch ambiente Magnetfelder in der Größe des Erdmagnetfelds ist. Dieses Konzept wurde als table-top-Laborprototyp realisiert, erprobt und durch einen Verbundpartner miniaturisiert. Ferner wurde ein mobiler Demonstrator entwickelt. Dieser enthält ein gegen äußere Störungen abgeschirmtes Lasersystem, Optik, Ansteuerungs- bzw. Ausleseelektronik sowie eine mobile Schirmvorrichtung. Letztere wurde speziell für die MMG an Arm- und Beinmuskeln konstruiert und ist mit einem 3-achsigen Spulensystem zur lokalen Feldkontrolle ausgestattet. Es wurde erforscht inwieweit MMG-Messungen in einer mobilen Schirmvorrichtung vergleichbar sind mit MMG-Messungen in einem state-of-the-art magnetisch-geschirmten Raum. Dies zeigte, dass mit etwas erhöhter Messdauer, ähnlich gute Ergebnisse erzielt werden können. Die hierfür eingesetzten kommerziellen OPM waren für diese Messaufgabe nur bedingt geeignet. Entscheidende Defizite sind ihre Bandbreite, Störanfälligkeit durch Hintergrundfelder und ihre begrenzte Richtungswiedergabe von Magnetfeldpulsen. Zur Charakterisierung der Sensoreigenschaften wurde der Demonstrator als mobiler Testaufbau eingesetzt und die Spulenansteuerung so programmiert, dass Magnetfelder in beliebiger Richtung und mit vorgegebener Pulsform innerhalb der mobilen Abschirmung erzeugt werden können. Diese Tests ergaben u.a., dass der hier entwickelte OPM, mit einer Bandbreite von 1 kHz und einer Empfindlichkeit von bis zu 0,3 pT/sqrt(Hz), insbesondere schnellen Signalen deutlich besser folgen kann, als die bisher eingesetzten kommerziellen OPM und somit die Wiedergabetreue deutlich gesteigert werden kann. Darüber hinaus wurden, in Zusammenarbeit mit den externen medizinischen Partnern, weitere Untersuchungen zum besseren Verständnis magnetischer Muskelsignale durchgeführt und publiziert.Victor Lebedev, Simon Nordenström, Thomas MiddelmannLaufzeit: 01.09.2021-30.04.2025Archivierung/Langzeitarchivierung gewährleistet XA-DE-NI pdager DE-89Magnetomyographie (MMG)optisch gepumpte Magnetometer (OPM)magnetische SchirmungBiomagnetismusQuantensensoren50010.34657/4300950WM2168012384861619859545https://oa.tib.eu/renate/handle/123456789/43942https://doi.org/10.34657/43009openAccessCC BY 3.0 DErdaDE-62726100320261007014019.01985551683Converted from MARCXML to MODS version 3.6 using MARC21slim2MODS3-6.xsl (Revision 1.119 2018/06/21)ger info:srw/schema/1/mods-v3.5 xml 9A Black, Maxwell J.VerfasserInauttextTextarticlexx2026monographiceng
