AIxIA 2020 - Advances in Artificial Intelligence: XIXth International Conference of the Italian Association for Artificial Intelligence, Virtual Event, November 25-27, 2020, Revised Selected Papers by Matteo Baldoni English | EPUB | 2021 | 467 Pages | ISBN : 3030770907 | 44.9 MB This book constitutes the refereed post proceedings of the XIXth International Conference of the Italian Association for Artificial Intelligence, AIxIA 2020, held in Milano, Italy, in November 2020.  Ekaterina Pravilova, "A Public Empire: Property and the Quest for the Common Good in Imperial Russia" English | 2014 | ISBN: 069115905X | EPUB | pages: 448 | 4.0 mb "Property rights" and "Russia" do not usually belong in the same sentence. Rather, our general image of the nation is of insecurity of private ownership and defenselessness in the face of the state. Many scholars have attributed Russia's long-term development problems to a failure to advance property rights for the modern age and blamed Russian intellectuals for their indifference to the issues of ownership. A Public Empire refutes this widely shared conventional wisdom and analyzes the emergence of Russian property regimes from the time of Catherine the Great through World War I and the revolutions of 1917. Most importantly, A Public Empire shows the emergence of the new practices of owning "public things" in imperial Russia and the attempts of Russian intellectuals to reconcile the security of property with the ideals of the common good.  A Political Economy of Free Zones in Gulf Arab States by Robert Mogielnicki English | EPUB | 2021 | 277 Pages | ISBN : 3030712737 | 9.4 MB This is the first book-length empirical study of free zones (FZs) in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. The volume systematically illustrates the development processes behind FZs in Gulf Arab states and assesses the impact of these commercial entities on regional integration, global trade and investment trends, and the Gulf's foreign relations. In the process, the work maps how economic strategies involving FZs evolve alongside varying levels of resource availability and state capacity on a local level while also revealing how development paths in Gulf Arab states are linked to regional and global accumulation circuits.  A Plea for Naturalistic Metaphysics: Why Analytic Metaphysics is Not Enough by Ulrich Steinvorth English | EPUB | 2021 | 101 Pages | ISBN : 3030726029 | 03 MB In this small book, Ulrich Steinvorth describes the reasons why analytic philosophy, which started as an anti-metaphysical project, has become a strong advocate of metaphysics, and why it must become synthetic, normative, and naturalistic. Steinvorth argues that self-regulation is the common property of all being, that we can talk of an increase or escalation of self-regulation in the evolution of being, and that self-regulation becomes self-determination in man. |
