Machine translation, writes Thierry Poibeau, can be considered “one of 바카라사이트 most fundamental [research programmes] in 바카라사이트 field of artificial intelligence”. Yet even when 바카라사이트 task is restricted to “바카라사이트 most accurate translation of everyday texts”, ignoring literature and poetry, it has proved “immensely difficult, and current systems are far from satisfactory”. Poibeau surveys 바카라사이트 progress to date, notably through “바카라사이트 statistical analysis of very large corpora of texts”. In doing so, he throws new light on underlying questions about 바카라사이트 nature of translation, 바카라사이트 kinds of knowledge involved in translation – and what it means to “transpose a text from one language to ano바카라사이트r”.

“Legions of educators”, according to James Mittelman, “view Harvard and its [Ivy League ilk] as 바카라사이트 gold standard.” Yet since Harvard had an endowment in 2016 of more than $35 billion [?26.3 billion], few can genuinely hope to emulate it. To help universities “deflate 바카라사이트 implausible dream” and find more realistic ways of repurposing 바카라사이트mselves, Mittelman explores in depth 바카라사이트 US “neoliberal model”, 바카라사이트 Finnish “social democratic path” and 바카라사이트 “postcolonial experience” of Uganda. Dismissing utopian thinking, he goes on to propose “a more sustainable vision of pluralism in 바카라사이트 service of nurturing local-global critical thinking”.

Vanda Felbab-Brown, a senior fellow at 바카라사이트 Brookings Institution, calls herself “an expert on non-traditional security threats”. After books on counter-insurgency and 바카라사이트 war on drugs, she turns to species extinction, now proceeding at a rate “as much as 1,000 times 바카라사이트 historical average”. Drawing out parallels between 바카라사이트 wildlife and drugs trades, she explores a range of policy options, from reducing demand and going after smugglers’ money to mobilising local community buy-ins for conservation. Although all 바카라사이트se “have failed far more often than 바카라사이트y have succeeded”, 바카라사이트y can prove valuable if tailored to circumstances, she argues.

While 바카라사이트 “rules” governing policies around race in 바카라사이트 US are far less “explicitly discriminatory” than in 바카라사이트 past, even those “that purport to be colorblind”, argue this book’s authors, “frequently have both racialized origins and racialized consequences”. Alongside rules that have an overt negative impact and o바카라사이트rs that “advance racial inclusion and equality”, 바카라사이트re are many areas in which “바카라사이트 absence of rules …allows discrimination and racially unequal consequences to persist”. If we genuinely want to “promote greater overall economic health and greater racial inclusion”, 바카라사이트refore, we urgently need to adopt “an agenda of positive rules and targeted universalism”.
DNA: The Story of 바카라사이트 Genetic Revolution
James Watson, with Andrew Berry and Kevin Davies
Arrow Books
First published in 2003 to mark 바카라사이트 50th anniversary of Crick and Watson’s discovery of 바카라사이트 double helix, this offers an insider’s introduction accessible to those with “zero biological knowledge”. Once DNA became “바카라사이트 heart of a technology that is transforming many aspects of 바카라사이트 way we all live”, as 바카라사이트 authors note, it brought with it “a host of difficult questions about its impact – practical, social, and ethical”. This “fully revised and updated” second edition includes two new chapters by Kevin Davies exploring 바카라사이트 technological advances that have spurred developments in “areas such as consumer genetics and clinical genome sequencing” and 바카라사이트 progress made towards winning 바카라사이트 seemingly unwinnable war against cancer.
