The Posthuman Condition in 21st Century Literature and Culture: Interdisciplinary Insights
by Carmen Laguarta-Bueno Esther Muñoz-González María Ferrández-SanmiguelMore than a decade after its first definitions, critical posthumanism has become consolidated as a key discourse for the understanding of our contemporary state of being within what has been called the paradigm of posthumanity, but also, crucially, as an ideology and a praxis that guides our engagements with the world around us. This double dimension characterizes the contributions to this volume. They resort to critical posthumanism in its most recent developments as a set of tools for critical and cultural analysis of our posthuman times, as posthuman(ist) concerns manifest in our cultural products. This volume studies the most recent evolutions in the field of critical posthumanism as represented in key novels and other (screened) popular cultural products produced in the first and second decades of the twenty-first century. Resorting to the analytical tools provided by critical posthumanist theory in cross-disciplinary dialogue with other fields—such as transhumanism, feminist, gender and queer theory, vulnerability studies, new materialism, critical animal studies and environmental theory—the scholars whose work this volume showcases bear witness to how literature and popular culture have been influenced and impressed by posthumanism.

Bank Asset-Liability Management: A Guide to Managing Interest Rate Risk in the Banking Book for Practitioners, Regulators, and Supervisors in the EU
by Fidelio TataThis book provides a practical and intuitive view of how European banks manage asset-liability mismatch risk from both a practitioner and supervisory perspective. After a prolonged period of zero interest rate policy (ZIRP) by central banks around the world, the period from Q1 2022 to Q2 2023 has seen the largest, fastest, and most widespread increase in interest rates since the 1980s, with 1-year euro yields rising by more than 400 bp. The recent market turmoil has exposed the increased vulnerability of banks, particularly those with significant exposures to long-term, fixed income assets, fueled by shorter-term, less stable funding. This challenging interest rate environment reinforces the strategic importance of asset-liability management (ALM) for banks. Indeed, a bank's survival now depends more than ever on prudent ALM. This book introduces the most common components of interest rate risk management within a bank's asset-liability management framework, including the concepts of economic value of equity (EVE), net interest income (NII), funds transfer pricing (FTP), and the replicating model. In addition to bridging the gap between widely used general interest rate risk management techniques in the fixed income area and what is best practice in European banks, the book also provides an update on recent changes in the regulatory framework for European banks' management of interest rate risk in the banking book (IRRBB), including new EBA guidelines. It also covers the latest developments in interest rate risk management, such as rapidly changing interest rates and modeling bank customers' behavior.

Phase and Interphase Behaviour of Bituminous Materials: State-of-the-Art Report of the RILEM TC 272-PIM (RILEM State-of-the-Art Reports #43)
by Francesco Canestrari Laurent Porot Christiane Raab Emmanuel Chailleux Cédric SauzéatThis book presents the work of the RILEM Technical Committee 272-PIM on Phase and Interphase behaviour of Bituminous Materials and showcases advances and innovations in the field of bituminous materials for flexible pavements. The first section delves into complex and combined binders, unravelling intricate phenomena and shedding light on the unique challenges posed by these materials. Through meticulous cross-testing, the fundamental physical processes are better understood. The second section addresses the low-temperature performance of bituminous mixtures, exploring important behaviour regarding the longevity and resilience of bituminous pavements. The use of innovative methodologies, particularly the restrained shrinkage test exploited using a three-dimensional perspective, enriches the understanding regarding the mechanical behaviour at cold temperatures. The third section delves into dynamic interlayer shear testing, providing a comprehensive guide to evaluate the bonding behaviour of bituminous interlayers under cyclic loadings. By considering the multiphase nature of road materials and structures, the book not only fills gaps in existing knowledge but also lays the foundation for the development of more durable materials. Its emphasis on a performance-driven and internationally validated approach makes it a reference tool for those contributing to the advancement of sustainable materials in the field of bituminous material engineering.
Plurale Verschränkungen – Zur Entdifferenzierung von Kunst, Politik, Wissenschaft und Wirtschaft (Kunst und Gesellschaft)
by Nina Tessa Zahner Marie RosenkranzDer Band untersucht die immer neuen Austauschprozesse zwischen Kunst und Politik, Kunst und Wissenschaft, Kunst und Ökonomie, die sich seit einigen Jahren zu etablieren scheinen. Er fragt, inwieweit diese möglicherweise einen Funktionswandel der Künste anzeigen, der ihnen eine zentrale gesellschaftliche Rolle zuweist. Denn künstlerische Forschung, künstlerisch-politischer Aktivismus und eine zunehmend kulturalisierte Ökonomie werfen zunehmend die Frage auf, inwieweit diese künstlerische Selbstentgrenzung vielleicht auch als Versuch der Künste zu deuten ist, unter Bedingungen einer umfassend ästhetisierten Gesellschaft noch gesellschaftliche Relevanz zu zeitigen. Fest steht, dass die zunehmend durchlässigen Grenzen von Kunst, Wissenschaft, Politik, Wirtschaft und Ästhetik verschiedenste Unschärfen und Ambivalenzen produzieren, die es hinsichtlich der Gefahr der Neutralisation des kritischen Potentials der Kunst ebenso zu diskutieren gilt, wie hinsichtlich ihres Beitrags zu mehr Demokratie. Der Sammelband untersucht in dieser Ausrichtung Effekte, Dynamiken und Bewertungen wechselseitiger Entgrenzungsprozesse zwischen Kunst, Politik, Wissenschaft und Wirtschaft und diskutiert deren theoretische wie forschungspraktische Implikationen für die Soziologie. In diesem Zusammenhang scheint sich auch die Rolle der Soziologie der Künste zu wandeln: Wird die kunstsoziologische Perspektive nun zunehmend zu der einer neuartigen allgemeinen Soziologie?
Intelligent Production and Industry 5.0 with Human Touch, Resilience, and Circular Economy: Transactions of the 12th International Conference on Production Research – ICPR Americas 2024 (Lecture Notes in Production Engineering)
by Bopaya Bidanda Dušan N. Šormaz Omar Alhawari Zhaohui GengThis volume contains the papers presented at the 12th International Conference on Production Research – Americas, ICPR Americas 2024. The focus and theme of the conference was Intelligent Production and Industry 5.0 with Human touch, Resilience, and Circular Economy. The conference had the majority of authors from the Western Hemisphere, thus providing readers with the current research topics and results in that region towards establishing Industry 5.0 and resilient, intelligent production methods in the theory and practice of production research. As such, the volume establishes direction for the further advancement of circular economy and human advancement. What areas are covered? The book covers the broad area of production research, including the following topics: Intelligent Production for Circular Economy, Smart Factories and Industrial Internet of Things, Sustainable Manufacturing and Engineering, Modelling and Simulation of Manufacturing and Services, Strategies and Approaches to Develop Production Resilience, Digital and Cyber Manufacturing and Services for Industry 4.0 & 5.0, Data Analytics and Smart Manufacturing, Manufacturing Systems and Supply Chains, Human Factors Engineering, and many others shown inside the book. What is the main focus? The presented papers cover new theories in production research, with emphasis on digital and smart manufacturing, lean and agile manufacturing, and sustainable manufacturing and engineering. However, as the ICPR conferences also cover applications of developed theories in industry, it is expected that about 1/3 of papers will have application focus. Who will be interested in reading? The book aims to get the attention of graduate students and early researchers eager to learn new methodologies and theories of production research as its primary audience. However, advanced undergraduate students may also be tempted to learn the topics of the conference as a potential medium in their choices of careers, particularly when considering graduate degrees. This is the first edition of the book, but it also continues the tradition of proceedings from previous ICPR global and regional conferences.
