Organoids are developed from stem cells and serve as three-dimensional model systems for different organs. They have great potential for research and medicine, but also raise philosophical, ethical and legal questions which have rarely been discussed in Germany so far. This thematic study by the interdisciplinary research group (IAG) Gene Technology Report at the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities offers an overview of current scientific developments, their present and potential application, as well as epistemological, ethical and legal reflections. Hereby, the IAG wants to provide impetus for an interdisciplinary and society-wide debate on this general subject. With contributions by Cantas Alev, Aileen-Diane Bamford, Sina Bartfeld, Andreia S.

Dreaming of Freedom in South Africa examines for the first time the many different texts imagining the future after the end of apartheid. Focused on well-known and obscure literary texts from the 1880s to the 1970s, as well as the many manifestos and programmes setting out visions of the future, this book charts the dreams of freedom of five major traditions of anti-colonial and anti-apartheid resistance: the African National Congress (ANC), the Industrial and Commercial Workers Union (ICU), the Communist Party of South Africa (CPSA), the Non-European Unity Movement (NEUM) and the Pan-Africanist Congress (PAC). The works of a number of South African literary figures are discussed, including Olive Schreiner, S. E. K. Mqhayi, Alan Paton, Karel Schoeman, Jordan Ngubane, Winnifred Holtby, Ethelreda Lewis, Dora Taylor, Livingstone Mqotsi, Peter Abrahams, Richard Rive, Lauretta Ngcobo and Bessie Head. Political thinkers analysed include Nelson Mandela, R. F. A. Hoernlé, Albert Luthuli, Clements Kadalie, A. W. G. Champion, Edward Roux, James La Guma, Alfred Nzula, I. B. Tabata, Ben Kies, Anton Lembede, A. P. Mda and Robert Sobukwe. The theoretical dimensions of the study are orientated in relation to major Marxist critics of utopianism like Marx, Friedrich Engels, Leon Trotsky and Ernst Bloch, as well as to thinkers like Hannah Arendt, Immanuel Wallerstein, James C. Scott and Jay Winter. More than an exercise in historical excavation, Dreaming of Freedom in South Africa raises challenging questions for the post-apartheid present.

The intensively discussed term transformation refers to the comprehensive restructuring of processes and behaviour in order to address societal challenges posed by far-reaching changes in energy, transport, production and agricultural systems. Since such complex transformations are always accompanied by uncertainties about their effects and consequences, the contributions in this volume critically examine the opportunities and risks involved in these processes and discuss the possibilities and limits of technology assessment in the context of societal transformations. The volume brings together the academic contributions to the 8th international conference of the Technology Assessment Network, which took place in Karlsruhe from 7th to 8th November 2018.

Tan Sri Dato Seri (Dr.) Hj. Harussani bin Hj. Zakaria adalah anak bongsu kepada pasangan Hj. Zakaria b. Hj. Osman dan Hjh. Zainab bt. Jalaluddin, dilahirkan kira-kira 79 tahun yang lalu di Parit Buntar, Perak. Ayah beliau merupakan seorang yang tegas dalam memberi didikan agama kepada anak-anaknya. Perjalanan menjadi Mufti beliau bermula apabila menjawat jawatan sebagai Kadi di Jabatan Agama Pulau Pinang bermula dari tahun 1967 hingga 1973, kemudiannya dilantik sebagai Kadi Besar dari 1973 hingga 1985.Kefasihan beliau dalam mengulas isu-isu agama Islam telah melayakkan beliau untuk dilantik sebagai Mufti Perak bermula 1985 hingga kini. Secara umumnya, Tan Sri Dato Seri (Dr.) Hj. Harussani adalah seorang yang tegas dalam pendiriannya. Ketegasan beliau dalam isu-isu yang melibatkan agama Islam ini sebenarnya bukan lagi menjadi rahsia, sama ada dalam kalangan sahabat handai, para penyokong, mahupun mereka yang tidak sependapat dengan beliau. Sejarah telah merakamkan betapa lantangnya beliau ketika bercakap tentang isu murtad, poco-poco, Majlis Perundingan Antara Agama, yoga, penggunaan kalimah Allah oleh orang-orang bukan Islam, kerajaan perpaduan (UMNO-PAS) dan demonstrasi jalanan. Buku ini bukan hanya pengkisahan memoir tetapi juga memberikan beliau satu ruang penjelasan mengenai isu-isu sensasi yang pernah beliau bangkitkan sebelum ini. Semoga karya ini dapat dijadikan rujukan dan penerangan sewajarnya kepada para pembaca.

<b>Die Freizügigkeit der Unionsbürger</b> ist seit den Anfängen der Europäischen Integration konstituierend für das Europarecht. Nicht zuletzt die umfangreiche europäische Rechtsprechung zur Freizügigkeit der Unionsbürger führt kontinuierlich zu prägenden Integrationsfortschritten. Die in jüngerer Zeit vermehrt vom europäischen Gesetzgeber verabschiedeten eigenständigen Regelungen zu Drittstaatsangehörigen (EU-Asyl- und EU-Einwanderungsrecht) bewirken gleichzeitig eine erhebliche Erweiterung des Anwendungsbereichs des Migrationsacquis. Auswirkungen auf das nationale Recht bleiben nicht aus. Das europäische Migrationsrecht steht im Mittelpunkt der Auseinandersetzung um die Zukunft der EU. <b>Das neue Handbuch</b> bündelt die wichtigsten Fragestellungen und Antworten. Im Detail werden alle durch die Unionsbürgerschaft vermittelten Freizügigkeitsrechte erläutert, deren Erweiterungen auf Drittstaatsangehörige dargestellt und zugleich die Grenzen der Freizügigkeit gezogen. Das Regelungsgeflecht des europäischen Migrationsrechts wird <b>hochaktuell </b>und verständlich erläutert, es werden auch politikwissenschaftliche Perspektiven beschrieben. <b>Die Schwerpunkte</b> Unionsbürgerschaft - Status und politische Rechte Primärrechtliche Grundlagen, Raum der Freiheit, der Sicherheit und des Rechts (GRC, Art. 77–79 AEUV) Ausweisungsschutz, Familienzusammenführung, Rückführung Recht auf Daueraufenthalt Einwanderung Erwerbstätiger Sozialleistungsbezug Schutz der EU-Außengrenzen, Kooperation mit Drittstaaten, Schengen spezifische Drittstaatenregime/Assoziierungsabkommen; EFTA/EWR; Schweiz; weitere Integrationsgemeinschaften (WTO, NAFTA, MERCOSUR, Eurasian Economic Union) EU-Migrationsverfassungsrecht Asyl- und Flüchtlingsrecht (EMRK und Völkerrecht), Anerkennung und Aufnahme als Flüchtling (insb.

This chapter examines the ethics of contemporary Engaged Buddhism, also known as Socially Engaged Buddhism. The introductory section defines Engaged Buddhism and gives an overview of its history, the various forms of social engagement undertaken by Engaged Buddhists in different Asian countries, and its most important leaders. The chapter then analyses the ethical principles of Engaged Buddhism—first, those found throughout the Engaged Buddhist movement as a whole, then those that characterize what may heuristically be seen as three major kinds of Engaged Buddhism: nondualistic (exemplified by Thich Nhat Hanh and the Dalai Lama), prophetic (exemplified by B. R. Ambedkar), and humanistic (exemplified by Venerable Cheng Yen and Tzu Chi).

Modern diplomacy is extending its activities into many spheres and is itself being exposed to unprecedented influences: the factors that are shaking up our societies are having an impact on governance as well, be it digitisation, the emotionalised sensitivities of the public or non-diplomatic international actors. Such developments need to be absorbed by diplomacy in order for it to continue to function as part of modern governance and for it to inform both governments and the societies they represent. Governments would do well to develop forms of mediation and ways of reconciling interests. The objective must be to allow states to continue to work effectively as sovereign and legitimate actors and, at the same time, to make use of the potential inherent in the changes our countries are experiencing. With contributions by Volker Stanzel, Sascha Lohmann, Andrew Cooper, Christer Jönsson, Corneliu Bjola, Emillie V. de Keulenaar, Jan Melissen, Karsten D. Voigt, Kim B. Olsen, Hanns W. Maull and R. S. Zaharna

This essay examines the role of karma in Engaged Buddhist thought and action. It discusses (1) ways in which Engaged Buddhists make use of karma; (2) ways in which karma is a problem for Engaged Buddhism; and (3) ways in which Engaged Buddhists have attempted to overcome the difficulties associated with traditional ideas about karma. Issues surrounding karma addressed by Engaged Buddhists include the stigmatization of dalits, women, and the disabled; the promotion of fatalism and passivity; individual and social responsibility; karma and justice; karma and social change; karma and compassion. Engaged Buddhist leaders discussed include B. R. Ambedkar, Aung San Suu Kyi, Sulak Sivaraksa, and Thich Nhat Hanh. The paper concludes that there are many successful ways that Engaged Buddhists have addressed difficulties associated with karma and specifies other ways that could be considered in addition.

Studying Japan is the first comprehensive guide on qualitative methods, research designs and fieldwork in social science research on Japan. More than 70 Japan scholars from around the world provide an easy-to-read overview on qualitative methods used in research on Japan’s society, politics, culture and history. The book covers the entire research process from the outset to the completion of a thesis, a paper, or a book. The authors provide basic introductions to individual methods, discuss their experiences when applying these methods and highlight current trends in research on Japan. The book serves as a foundation for a course on qualitative research methods and is, but can also be used as a reference for all researchers in Japanese Studies, the Social Sciences and Area Studies. It is an essential reading for students and researchers with an interest in Japan! With contributions by: Chapter: Celeste L.
