From within the Anabaptist theological tradition, C. Norman Kraus offers a biblically oriented alternative to rationalistic orthodoxy and to liberalism.…
He takes Scripture as the normative witness to the meaning of Christ, the authoritative source for theological reflection, and thus makes a thoroughly evangelical statement. Yet this evangel begins with salvation as newness of life in resurrection with Christ, not simply as juridical justification. It is the companion to Jesus Christ Our Lord.By Marian Hostetler. 1988

Justice apps – mobile and web-based programmes that can assist individuals with legal tasks – are being produced, improved, and…
accessed at an unprecedented rate. These technologies have the potential to reshape the justice system, improve access to justice, and demystify legal institutions. Using artificial intelligence techniques, apps can even facilitate the resolution of common legal disputes. However, these opportunities must be assessed in light of the many challenges associated with app use in the justice sector. These include the digital divide and other accessibility issues; the ethical challenges raised by the dehumanisation of legal processes; and various privacy, security, and confidentiality risks. Surveying the landscape of this emergent industry, this book explores the objectives, opportunities, and challenges presented by apps across all areas of the justice sector. Detailed consideration is also given to the use of justice apps in specific legal contexts, including the family law and criminal law sectors. The first book to engage with justice apps, this book will appeal to a wide range of legal scholars, students, practitioners, and policy-makers.By Yong Ding, Guangming Sun. 2020

The proliferation of multicore processors in the embedded market for Internet-of-Things (IoT) and Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) makes developing real-time embedded…
applications increasingly difficult. What is the underlying theory that makes multicore real-time possible? How does theory influence application design? When is a real-time operating system (RTOS) useful? What RTOS features do applications need? How does a mature RTOS help manage the complexity of multicore hardware? Real-Time Systems Development with RTEMS and Multicore Processors answers these questions and more with exemplar Real-Time Executive for Multiprocessor Systems (RTEMS) RTOS to provide concrete advice and examples for constructing useful, feature-rich applications. RTEMS is free, open-source software that supports multi-processor systems for over a dozen CPU architectures and over 150 specific system boards in applications spanning the range of IoT and CPS domains such as satellites, particle accelerators, robots, racing motorcycles, building controls, medical devices, and more. The focus of this book is on enabling real-time embedded software engineering while providing sufficient theoretical foundations and hardware background to understand the rationale for key decisions in RTOS and application design and implementation. The topics covered in this book include: Cross-compilation for embedded systems development Concurrent programming models used in real-time embedded software Real-time scheduling theory and algorithms used in wide practice Usage and comparison of two application programmer interfaces (APIs) in real-time embedded software: POSIX and the RTEMS Classic APIs Design and implementation in RTEMS of commonly found RTOS features for schedulers, task management, time-keeping, inter-task synchronization, inter-task communication, and networking The challenges introduced by multicore hardware, advances in multicore real-time theory, and software engineering multicore real-time systems with RTEMS All the authors of this book are experts in the academic field of real-time embedded systems.

This open access book presents selected papers from International Symposium on Mathematics, Quantum Theory, and Cryptography (MQC), which was held…
on September 25-27, 2019 in Fukuoka, Japan. The international symposium MQC addresses the mathematics and quantum theory underlying secure modeling of the post quantum cryptography including e.g. mathematical study of the light-matter interaction models as well as quantum computing.The security of the most widely used RSA cryptosystem is based on the difficulty of factoring large integers. However, in 1994 Shor proposed a quantum polynomial time algorithm for factoring integers, and the RSA cryptosystem is no longer secure in the quantum computing model. This vulnerability has prompted research into post-quantum cryptography using alternative mathematical problems that are secure in the era of quantum computers. In this regard, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) began to standardize post-quantum cryptography in 2016. This book is suitable for postgraduate students in mathematics and computer science, as well as for experts in industry working on post-quantum cryptography.By Manfred Bornewasser, Sven Hinrichsen. 2020
In diesem Buch werden die Herausforderungen bei der Einführung von informatorischen Assistenzsystemen in der Montage erörtert und umfangreiche Gestaltungsempfehlungen vermittelt.Die…
industrielle Montage ist in Deutschland nach wie vor von hoher volkswirtschaftlicher Bedeutung. In der Industrie existieren zehntausende Montagearbeitsplätze. Diese verändern sich. Infolge hoher Wettbewerbsintensität und Innovationsdynamik entstehen immer mehr Produktvarianten, die zu einer Zunahme der Komplexität der Montagearbeit beitragen. Es stellt sich daher die Frage, wie mit dieser gestiegenen Komplexität umzugehen und wie diese seitens der Beschäftigten zu bewältigen ist, ohne dass es zu Überbeanspruchungen und einem Verfehlen von Produktivitätszielen kommt. Während Montage bislang vornehmlich als energetische Arbeit begriffen wurde, rücken künftig die kognitiven Anteile der Montagearbeit in den Vordergrund. In diesem Zusammenhang kommt dem Komplexitäts- und Informationsmanagement eine entscheidende Rolle zu: Während früher Strategien des Vereinfachens, z. B. durch fortschreitende Arbeitsteilung, im Vordergrund standen, gewinnen heute Strategien des Beherrschens der Komplexität an Bedeutung. Im Zentrum dieses Paradigmenwechsels stehen informatorische Assistenzsysteme, die den Beschäftigten im Montageprozess mit Informationsangeboten unterstützen und so die wachsende Komplexität sicher beherrschbar machen.By Bernd Pfitzinger, Thomas Jestädt, Jürgen Halstenberg. 2020

This volume examines the relationship between Christian legal theory and the fields of private law. Recent years have seen a…
resurgence of interest in private law theory, and this book contributes to that discussion by drawing on the historical, theological, and philosophical resources of the Christian tradition. The book begins with an introduction from the editors that lays out the understanding of "private law" and what distinguishes private law topics from other fields of law. This section includes two survey chapters on natural law and biblical sources. The remaining sections of the book move sequentially through the fields of property, contracts, and torts. Several chapters focus on historical sources and show the ways in which the evolution of legal doctrine in areas of private law has been heavily influenced by Christian thinkers. Other chapters draw out more contemporary and public policy-related implications for private law. While this book is focused on the relationship of Christianity to private law, it will be of broad interest to those who might not share that faith perspective. In particular, legal historians and philosophers of law will find much of interest in the original scholarship in this volume. The book will be attractive to teachers of law, political science, and theology. It will be of special interest to the many law faculty in property, contracts, and torts, as it provides a set of often overlooked historical and theoretical perspectives on these fields.By Bernard Levine. 2020
Hoe hartseer en wat 'n verskriklike tragedie is dit, dat die Joodse nasie, die "Mense van die Boek", nie in…
Jesus glo nie. Die Jode is behep daarmee om die vele mens-gemaakte wette en tradisies - wat die Rabbis saamgestel het - te volg, te hou en te gehoorsaam. Omdat die bloed offers van die Ou Testament mee weggedoen is en nie langer waargeneem word nie, kan Jode nie hulle sondes skoongewas en vergewe kry sonder bloed nie. Daar is so baie omtrent Jesus wat die Jode nooit gehoor het of nie weet nie.... Sal jy vir die Jode van Jesus vertel?By Bernard Levine. 2020
Hierdie is 'n splinternuwe boek met informasie wat nog nooit voorheen gepubliseer is nie. Vir digene wat lief is vir…
die Joodse nasie en gesmag het om meer omtrent hulle geloof en leefwyse te weet, vir Christene wat lief is vir Jesus en meer van Sy Joodse wortels wil leer ... Die verrassende onthullings in hierdie boek was vir lank vir die wêreld verborge en word nou vir die eerste keer ontbloot! Jy sal ontdek ... Wat doen Jode op Kersdag? Sal jy met my trou? Hoe Jode 'n huweliksaansoek doen? Waarom eet Jode nie McDonalds, KFC of Burger King nie? Wat is in die Hebreeuse Bybel wat jy nie weet nie? Hoekom het die Rabbis die letters van God se Heilige Naam verander? Wat het die Jode met die woord Elohim gemaak? Watter plaasvervangende naam gebruik die Jode instede van Yahveh? Waarom skryf Jode nooit die woord "God" nie? En baie ander verrassende onthullings.By Bernard Levine. 2020
Wat is die waarheid omtrent seks deur 'n gaatjie in die laken? Wat doen die Rabbis met die voorhuid wat…
afgesny word? Hoekom moet vroue hulle panties vir die Rabbi wys? Het jy geweet die Rabbi suig die bloed van 'n baba se besnyde penis? Het jy gehoor daar is 'n spesiale manier hoe Jode veronderstel is om hulle skoene aan te trek? Waarom vat Jode 'n lewendige hoender en swaai dit bo hulle koppe? Hoekom begrawe Jode hulle borde in die grond? Jy sal geskok wees deur die vreemde praktyke van die Joodse gemeenskap.
