How cell phones and mobile communication may in many cases strengthen social cohesion.The message of this book is simple: the mobile phone strengthens social bonds among family and friends. With a traditional land-line telephone, we place calls to a location and ask hopefully if someone is “there”; with a mobile phone, we have instant and perpetual access to friends and family regardless of where they are. But when we are engaged in these intimate conversations with absent friends, what happens to our relationship with the people who are actually in the same room with us? In New Tech, New Ties, Rich Ling examines how the mobile telephone affects both kinds of interactions―those mediated by mobile communication and those that are face to face. Ling finds that through the use of various social rituals the mobile telephone strengthens social ties within the circle of friends and family―sometimes at the expense of interaction with those who are physically present―and creates what he calls “bounded solidarity.” Ling argues that mobile communication helps to engender and develop social cohesion within the family and the peer group. Drawing on the work of Emile Durkheim, Erving Goffman, and Randall Collins, Ling shows that ritual interaction is a catalyst for the development of social bonding. From this perspective, he examines how mobile communication affects face-to-face ritual situations and how ritual is used in interaction mediated by mobile communication. He looks at the evidence, including interviews and observations from around the world, that documents the effect of mobile communication on social bonding and also examines some of the other possibly problematic issues raised by tighter social cohesion in small groups.

Appendixes offer case studies of Uber and of the valuation of Tentex.

A critical examination of translational medicine, when private risk is transferred to the public sector and university research teams become tech startups for global investors.A global shift has secretly transformed science and medicine. Starting in 2003, biomedical research in the West has been reshaped by the emergence of translational science and medicine―the idea that the aim of research is to translate findings as quickly as possible into medical products. In The Market in Mind, Mark Dennis Robinson charts this shift, arguing that the new research paradigm has turned university research teams into small biotechnology startups and their industry partners into early-stage investment firms. There is also a larger, surprising consequence from this shift: according to Robinson, translational science and medicine enable biopharmaceutical firms, as part of a broader financial strategy, to outsource the riskiest parts of research to nonprofit universities. Robinson examines the implications of this new configuration. What happens, for example, when universities absorb unknown levels of risk? Robinson argues that in the years since the global financial crisis translational science and medicine has brought about “the financialization of health.”Robinson explores such topics as shareholder anxiety and industry retreat from Alzheimer's and depression research; how laboratory research is understood as health innovation even when there is no product; the emergence of investor networking events as crucial for viewing science in a market context; and the place of patients in research decisions. Although translational medicine justifies itself by the goal of relieving patients' suffering, Robinson finds patients' voices largely marginalized in translational neuroscience.

Light-Tech – dieser Begriff meint eine leichte, fast gewichtslose Bauweise, mit leichten Materialien und Elementen, in eleganten technischen Konstruktionen. Sie ist für die Details von Möbeln und Inneneinrichtungen ebenso anwendbar wie für Wohnhäuser, Bürobauten oder Brücken. Sie arbeitet mit Materialien wie Aluminium, Glas oder Titan und hinterläßt als ästhetische Wirkung den Eindruck von Beweglichkeit, Offenheit und Transparenz. Dieses Buch stellt erstmals die Light-Tech-Architektur Richard Hordens in einer Monographie umfassend dar. Richard Horden war zunächst in der Marine- und Aerospace-Industrie tätig, hat dann bei Grimshaw & Partner und Norman Foster gearbeitet, aber sich auch von Buckminster Fuller und Jan Kaplicky anregen lassen und leitet inzwischen ein eigenes Architekturbüro in London. Aus dem Inhalt: - Innovative Einflüsse - Unterwegs zur Mikroarchitektur - Experimenteller Technologietransfer - Aerodynamik und Architektur - Neue Formen - Strategie der Transparenz - Haus-Studien - Materialien
