Abstract

The book is addressed to young people interested in computer technologies and computer science. The objective of this book is to provide the reader with all the necessary elements to get him or her started in the modern field of informatics and to allow him or her to become aware of the relationship between key areas of computer science. The book is addressed not only to future software developers, but also to all who are interested in computing in a widely understood sense. The authors also expect that some computer professionals will want to review this book to lift themselves above the daily grind and to embrace the excellence of the whole field of computer science. Unlike existing books, this one bypasses issues concerning the construction of computers and focuses only on information processing. Recognizing the importance of the human factor in information processing, the authors intend to present the theoretical foundations of computer science, software development rules, and some business aspects of informatics in non-technocratic, humanistic terms.

Abstract

'The Science Communication Challenge' explores and discusses the whys - as distinct from the hows - of science communication. Arguing that the dominant science communication paradigm is didactic, it makes the case for a political category of science communication, aimed at furthering discussions of science-related public affairs and making room for civilized and reasonable exchanges between different points of view. As civil societies and knowledge societies, modern democratic societies are confronted with the challenge of accommodating both the scientific logic of truth-seeking and the classical political logic of pluralism. The didactic science communication paradigm, however, is unsuited to dealing with substantial disagreement. Therefore, it is also unsuited to facilitate communication about the steadily increasing number of science-related political issues. Using insights from an array of academic fields, the book explores the possible origins of the didactic paradigm, connecting it to particular understandings of knowledge, politics and the public and to the widespread assumption of a science-versus-politics dichotomy. The book offers a critique of that assumption and suggests that science and politics be seen as substantially different activities, suited to dealing with different kinds of questions - and to different varieties of science communication.

Abstract

Die Welt des wissenschaftlichen Publizierens hat in den letzten Jahrzehnten zahlreiche einschneidende Veränderungen erlebt und befindet sich weiterhin in einem ständigen Umbruch. Den mit diesen Prozessen verbundenen Herausforderungen widmet sich der vorliegende Band, der die Forschungsergebnisse der Arbeitsgruppe »Zukunft des wissenschaftlichen Kommunikationssystems« der Berlin-Brandenburgischen Akademie der Wissenschaften vereint. Er lenkt den Blick erstmals auf den Zusammenhang zwischen vier Entwicklungslinien: Digitalisierung, Ökonomisierung, die zunehmende Außenbeobachtung von Publikationsaktivitäten anhand formaler Merkmale sowie die verstärkte Beobachtung durch die Massenmedien und deren Auswirkungen auf das wissenschaftliche Publikationssystem. Die Beiträge des ersten Teils geben die Sicht- und Herangehensweisen der zentralen Akteurgruppen wieder: Verlage, Bibliotheken und Wissenschaftler. Expertisen zur Diskussion über das Urheberrecht sowie zu wissenschaftspolitischen Initiativen finden sich im zweiten Teil. Der abschließende dritte Teil richtet den Blick in die Zukunft und gibt kontroverse Ausblicke auf eine wünschenswerte Zukunft des wissenschaftlichen Publizierens. Der Band richtet sich an Wissenschaftler, Wissenschaftsorganisationen, Bibliotheken und Verlage.

Abstract

The ""Manual on Scientific Communication for Postgraduate Students and Young Researchers in Technical, Natural, and Life Sciences"" is meant to be a practical guide for the preparation of theses, papers, posters, and other scientific documents. Upon going through the different chapters, the readers should be able to critically search for relevant literature; to correctly define and execute a research topic or project; to correctly write a scientific document; to know the characteristics of the different parts of a MSc degree or PhD degree thesis and a scientific paper; to correctly interpret publishing ethically sensitive material; to understand problems about falsification, fabrication of data, plagiarism, and ranking of authors; and to prepare and present a good poster.

Abstract

"Metaphors are essential to scientists themselves and strongly influence science communication. Through careful analyses of metaphors actually used in science texts, recordings, and videos, this book explores the essential functions of conceptual metaphor in the conduct of science, teaching of science, and how scientific ideas are promoted and popularized. With an accessible introduction to theory and method this book prepares scientists, science teachers, and science writers to take advantage of recent shifts in metaphor theories and methods. Metaphor specialists will find theoretical issues explored in studies of bacteriology, cell reproduction, marine biology, physics, brain function and social psychology. We see the degree of conscious or intentional use of metaphor in shaping our conceptual systems and constraining inferences. Metaphor sources include social structure, embodied experience, abstract or mathematical formulations. The results are sometimes innovative hypotheses and robust conclusions; other times pedagogically useful, if inaccurate, stepping stones or, at worst, misleading fictions"--

Abstract

This book analyses and compares the origins, evolutionary patterns and consequences of different science and technology controversies in China, including hydropower resistance, disputes surrounding genetically modified organisms and the nuclear power debate.The examination combines social movement theories, communication studies, and science and technology studies. Taking a multidisciplinary approach, the book provides an insight into the interwoven relationship between social and political controls and knowledge monopoly, and looks into a central issue neglected by previous science communication studies: why have different controversies shown divergent patterns despite similar social and political contexts? It is revealed that the media environment, political opportunity structures, knowledge-control regimes and activists' strategies have jointly triggered, nurtured and sustained these controversies and led to the development of different patterns. Based on these observations, the author also discusses the significance of science communication studies in promoting China's social transformation and further explores the feasible approach to a more generic framework to understand science controversies across the world.The book will be of value to the academics of science communication, science and technology studies, political science studies and sociology, as well as general readers interested in China's science controversies and social movements.The Open Access version of this book, available at http://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/e/9781003160212, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives 4.0 license.

Abstract

Der sich vom 16. bis zum 19. Jahrhundert vollziehende Übergang der weitgehend lateinbasierten europäischen Gelehrtenkultur zu einem vernakulär-mehrsprachigen "modernen" Wissenschaftssystem ist bislang für den deutschen Sprachraum nur bruchstückhaft beschrieben worden. Der vorliegende, von einer Greifswalder Tagung angeregte Sammelband führt verschiedene Zugänge zusammen und konturiert damit erstmals ein disziplinenübergreifendes Forschungsfeld "Historische Gelehrten- und Wissenschaftssprachen". In Beiträgen aus der germanistischen Sprachgeschichte, der Universitäts- und Wissenschaftsgeschichte, der klassischen Philologie und der Literaturwissenschaft werden zentrale Aspekte des akademischen Sprachenwechsels, der zunehmenden Etablierung der Volkssprache an den Universitäten und der Sprachenwahl im wissenschaftlichen Handlungsfeld thematisiert. Der Band bildet dabei den Auftakt zu einer neuen Publikationsreihe, die es sich zur Aufgabe gemacht hat, die Geschichte der lingua academica seit der Frühen Neuzeit zu untersuchen.
