Abstract

An in-depth investigation of the Romanian secret police's file on M©ơller, winner of the 2009 Nobel Prize for Literature, re-creating a "file story" of her surveillance. "Herta M©ơller should share her Nobel with the Securitate." This comment by a former officer in the Romanian secret police, or Securitate, was in reaction to hearing that M©ơller, a German writer originally from Romania, had won the 2009 Nobel Prize for Literature. Communist Romania's infamous secret police was indeed a protagonist in M©ơller's work, though an undesired and dreaded one: most of her writings are deeply and explicitly anchored in Ceaú,¡ ™escu's Romania and her own traumatic experiences with the Securitate. M©ơller's file traces her surveillance from 1983 until after she emigrated to West Germany in 1987. She has written extensively in reaction to reading her file, but primarily addresses its gaps, begging the question what information the file does in fact contain. This book is an in-depth investigation of M©ơller's file, and engages with other related files, including that of her then-husband, the writer Richard Wagner. Valentina Glajar treats the files as primary sources in order to re-create the story of M©ơller's surveillance by the Securitate. In such an intrusive culture of surveillance, surviving the system often meant a certain degree of entanglement: for victims, collaborators, and implicated subjects alike. Veiled in secrecy for decades, these compelling and complex documents shed light on a boundary between victims and perpetrators as porous as the Iron Curtain itself.

Abstract

Comment fonctionnent les systèmes nationaux de renseignement ? De quels moyens disposent-ils ? Face aux défis nouveaux que sont le terrorisme international, l'espionnage économique, les cyberattaques, voire les cyberguerres, comment sont élaborées et conduites les politiques de renseignement ? Avec quels succès et quels échecs ? La mise en oeuvre des techniques du renseignement est-elle compatible avec l'exigence démocratique ? Comment définir ce que pourraient être des relations vertueuses entre l'exécutif et les professionnels du renseignement ? Telles sont quelques-unes des questions essentielles auxquelles ce livre, le premier du genre en langue française, écrit par deux professionnels reconnus, s'efforce de répondre.Pour la première fois, la pratique réelle du renseignement sort de l'ombre où elle était confinée. Très complet, fourmillant d'exemples et reposant sur de larges comparaisons internationales, cette nouvelle édition, à jour et enrichie, d'un ouvrage devenu de référence passionnera tous ceux qui s'intéressent au renseignement d'Etat mais aussi à l'intelligence économique.

Abstract

In 1948, William W. Remington was one of the bright young men in the Truman administration. He was tall and handsome, a product of Dartmouth and Columbia. From 1940 on, he had risen through government ranks, serving on wartime boards, the President's Council of Economic Advisors, and eventually as a major official in the Department of Commerce, with a promising future ahead. By 1954, however, Remington was dead--assassinated in his cell by a team of inmates in a high-security Federal prison.In Un-American Activities, historian Gary May tells the fascinating story of William Remington--a story

Abstract

pH Deregulation as the Eleventh Hallmark of Cancer presents key concepts about pH deregulation in a concise and straight-forward manner. The book discusses topics such as pH regulation and metabolism, sodium hydrogen exchanger, monocarboxylate transporter, V-ATPase proton pump, carbonic anhydrases, and voltage gated sodium channels. In addition, it covers clinical and therapeutic implications and future perspectives. This is a valuable resource for researchers, oncologists, students and members of the biomedical and medical fields who want to learn more about the role of pH deregulation in cancer treatment.pH deregulation can improve the outcome of classical treatments without adding toxicity to them, and the book shows that treating the pH peculiarities of cancer is simple and can be performed with existing drugs. Based on the classification of tumor malignancy in ten hallmarks, the authors put pH deregulation at the spotlight and separated from metabolic reprogramming due to its impact on all other hallmarks, proposing it as an additional characteristic to evaluate and fight cancer.Proposes that pH deregulation should be considered as an independent hallmark of cancer from metabolic reprogramming due to its impact on all other hallmarks (based on seminal work of Hanahan and Weinberg)Explains basic issues of cancer pH deregulation and its consequences in a simple and concise mannerDiscusses the subject from the start with very elementary concepts on pH and pH regulation to help readers understand key concepts without proper backgroundPresents key concepts through original illustrations and table for easy comprehension

Abstract

This book initiates the conversation about the metaverse in science and practice. What will the metaverse look like? What is it about? Where do we stand? What do we need? Where is the journey going? To begin with: Is the metaverse an idea or a promise? Ralf T. Kreutzer and Sonja Klose try to make the vision tangible and imaginable. As with the Internet, it is difficult at this point to predict which developments and technologies will be created and combined by which individuals and companies and in what way. The authors take you by the hand and recommend: Don't ignore these developments! There is no need to make extensive investments in the metaverse today. But a few hands-on exercises are provided to help you be ready when the bandwagon picks up speed. In addition, it can help you to gain advantages in employer branding if it becomes visible that you are also dealing with exciting future topics.
