Blockchain and the Commons

Blockchain and the Commons

Recent years have seen a surge of interest in ‘the commons’ based on a simple yet radical idea: great improvements in production and management could be achieved by reducing barriers to knowledge exchange and power-sharing. Ranging from meadows forests and parks to language open-source software (FLOSS and Blockchain) and 3D printers the commons are distributed or common property resources/infrastructures that are self-managed by their user communities. While acknowledging the significant contributions that can be made through commons-based peer production this book provides a critical examination of the commons with the aim of contributing to their long-term sustainability. In particular the book examines the relation of Blockchain to the commons by illustrating the case study of the Commons Stack. Drawing on a range of interdisciplinary ideas and methodologies the book argues that there are a number of economic and social barriers that are obstructing the wider reproduction of the commons. Problems with access to capital and training the lack of entrepreneurial and managerial skills and the absence of institutional support from governments larger co-ops and NGOs are some of the external difficulties facing the commons today. Meanwhile localism gated communities vested interests atavism traditionalism ideology conflict neo-conservatism and techno-elitism represent some of the internal contradictions inherent in the commons. Through overcoming these contradictions the ultimate goal is to transform capitalism into the postcapitalism of the commons: the creation of a social economy self-organised around the commons. This book provides vital reading for anyone interested in the commons from economics techno-politics and across the social sciences. | Blockchain and the Commons

Sociative Logics and Their Applications Essays by the Late Richard Sylvan

Sociative Logics and Their Applications Essays by the Late Richard Sylvan

This title was first published in 2003. Richard Sylvan died in 1996 he had made contributions to many areas of philosophy such as relevant and paraconsistent logic Meinongianism and metaphysics and environmental ethics. One of his trademarks was the taking up of unpopular views and defending them. To Richard Sylvan ideas were important wether they were his or not. This is a book of ideas based on a collection of work found after his death a chance for readers to see his vision of his projects. This collected works represents material drafted between 1982 and 1996 and the theme is that a small band of logics namely pararelevant logics offer solutions to many problems puzzles and paradoxes in the philosophy of science. | Sociative Logics and Their Applications Essays by the Late Richard Sylvan

Bariatric Surgery Patients A Nutritional Guide

Bariatric Surgery Patients A Nutritional Guide

Approximately 65% of our population is overweight and 12% are morbidly obese. This is despite more than 25 years of attempted medical management. Clearly all current efforts have failed to control this enormous problem. Could it be that we have failed to recognize the cause of the disease and therefore have misdirected our efforts? � Alfredo Fernandez MD FASMBS Surgeon Tampa Florida Reducing obesity through bariatric surgery provides a sustainable weight loss regimen because it restricts the size of the stomach and limits food intake. However the surgery limits the amount of nutrients absorbed by the stomach and small intestine. This book provides a comprehensive practical guide on pre- and post-nutrition considerations in bariatric patients. It describes surgeries including gastric bypass lap band and sleeve; nutrition protocols for surgery patients; pregnancy considerations- pre- and post-surgery; food consumption post-surgery; advancing healthy food intake after surgery; minimizing negative side effects; and recommendations to maintain healthy diet. This nutritional guide provides health care practitioners descriptions and answers to the many questions bariatric surgery patients need to know and ask in support group meetings and individual counseling sessions. The first chapter focuses on Selling Obesity and Food as a Cheap and Legal Drug outlining how food advertising portion size increases and food frauds have contributed to the obesity crisis. New research into gut hormones microbiome influence on obesity firmicutes and histamine are included as well as pregnancy after bariatric surgery and lifestyle changes�eating sleep hydration stress management�needed for success after surgery. Many health care practitioners will use the Post Op Discharge Diet stages of progression to explain how the patient needs to prepare for their liquid diet and overcome numerous issues like dumping syndrome hypoglycemia a | Bariatric Surgery Patients A Nutritional Guide

Versatile Video Coding

Versatile Video Coding

Video is the main driver of bandwidth use accounting for over 80 per cent of consumer Internet traffic. Video compression is a critical component of many of the available multimedia applications it is necessary for storage or transmission of digital video over today's band-limited networks. The majority of this video is coded using international standards developed in collaboration with ITU-T Study Group and MPEG. The MPEG family of video coding standards begun on the early 1990s with MPEG-1 developed for video and audio storage on CD-ROMs with support for progressive video. MPEG-2 was standardized in 1995 for applications of video on DVD standard and high definition television with support for interlaced and progressive video. MPEG-4 part 2 also known as MPEG-2 video was standardized in 1999 for applications of low- bit rate multimedia on mobile platforms and the Internet with the support of object-based or content based coding by modeling the scene as background and foreground. Since MPEG-1 the main video coding standards were based on the so-called macroblocks. However research groups continued the work beyond the traditional video coding architectures and found that macroblocks could limit the performance of the compression when using high-resolution video. Therefore in 2013 the high efficiency video coding (HEVC) also known and H. 265 was released with a structure similar to H. 264/AVC but using coding units with more flexible partitions than the traditional macroblocks. HEVC has greater flexibility in prediction modes and transform block sizes also it has a more sophisticated interpolation and de blocking filters. In 2006 the VC-1 was released. VC-1 is a video codec implemented by Microsoft and the Microsoft Windows Media Video (VMW) 9 and standardized by the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE). In 2017 the Joint Video Experts Team (JVET) released a call for proposals for a new video coding standard initially called Beyond the HEVC Future Video Coding (FVC) or known as Versatile Video Coding (VVC). VVC is being built on top of HEVC for application on Standard Dynamic Range (SDR) High Dynamic Range (HDR) and 360° Video. The VVC is planned to be finalized by 2020. This book presents the new VVC and updates on the HEVC. The book discusses the advances in lossless coding and covers the topic of screen content coding. Technical topics discussed include: Beyond the High Efficiency Video CodingHigh Efficiency Video Coding encoderScreen contentLossless and visually lossless coding algorithmsFast coding algorithmsVisual quality assessmentOther screen content coding algorithmsOverview of JPEG Series
