Machine Readable Me - The Hidden Ways Tech Shapes our Identities

Sinopse

As we go about our day-to-day lives, digital information about who we are is gathered from all angles via biometric scans, passport applications, and, of course, social media. This data can never fully capture our complex, fluid identities over decades of our lives. Yet, this data populates numerous databases we may not even be aware of that can make life-or-death decisions such as who is allowed access to welfare benefits or who is granted food parcels as they pass war-torn borders.
Machine Readable Me considers how and why data that is gathered about us is increasingly limiting what we can and can't do in our lives and, crucially, what the alternatives are.

    This paper, originally crafted for a senior-level college class, earned a perfect score. It delves into foundational concepts of strategy statements and plans within organizational strategy, using Saturn as a case study. The focus remains concise to encourage readers to extrapolate using their own examples. Exploring Saturn's distinctive business practices within the automobile industry was particularly enlightening for the author, who holds an Associates Degree in Business Management Technology and a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration.

    Red Dead Redemption - History...

    While the Western was dying a slow death across the cultural landscape, it was blazing back to life as a video game in the early twenty-first century. Rockstar Games' Red Dead franchise, beginning with Red Dead Revolver in 2004, has grown into one of the most critically acclaimed video game franchises of the twenty-first century. Red Dead Redemption: History, Myth, and Violence in the Video Game West offers a critical, interdisciplinary look at this cultural phenomenon at the intersection of game studies and American history. 
     
     
     
    Drawing on game studies, western history, American studies, and cultural studies, the authors train a wide-ranging, deeply informed analytic perspective on the Red Dead franchise—from its earliest incarnation to the latest, Red Dead Redemption 2 (2018). Their intersecting chapters put the series in the context of American history, culture, and contemporary media, with inquiries into issues of authenticity, realism, the meaning of play and commercial promotion, and the relationship between the game and the wider cultural iterations of the classic Western. The contributors also delve into the role the series' development has played in recent debates around working conditions in the gaming industry and gaming culture.

    In this book, you will learn about cannabis from its fundamental unit, in other words, what identifies it and gives it these important characteristics, making it a unique species, based on its genetic material or the information present in the plant's genes. This network of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid), controls all the processes of defense, nutrition, and communication of cannabis, and at the same time produces wonderful molecules such as phenylpropanoids, cannabinoids, and terpenes, which offer us important medicinal properties. 
    New sequencing technologies have allowed a deeper study of the Cannabis genome and thanks to this, more important proteins for the plant are now known, as well as the biological pathways where they act, allowing plant species to be genetically modified, providing great benefits for crops.  
    Additionally, genetic engineering is transforming agricultural techniques, being a useful alternative in monitoring the stages of cultivation, also, these advances are revolutionizing the understanding of pharmacogenetics, which is how our body assimilates cannabis-based medicines. 
    If you are interested in learning more about the extraordinary world of cannabis genetics, we invite you to enjoy this audiobook that Pharmacology University brings to you.

    2022 Genesis Prize Laureate 
    The exclusive, first-hand, behind-the-scenes story of how Pfizer raced to create the first Covid-19 vaccine, told by Pfizer’s Chairman and CEO Dr. Albert Bourla. 
    A riveting, fast-paced, inside look at one of the most incredible private sector achievements in history, Moonshot recounts the intensive nine months in 2020 when the scientists at Pfizer, under the visionary leadership of Dr. Albert Bourla, made “the impossible possible”—creating, testing, and manufacturing a safe and effective Covid-19 vaccine that previously would have taken years to develop.  
    Dr. Bourla chronicles how the brilliant, dedicated minds at Pfizer, under the enormous strains of the global pandemic, overcame a series of crises that were compounded by social and political unrest, and reveals the doubts, decisions, obstacles, and failures they encountered. As Dr. Bourla makes clear, Pfizer’s success wasn’t due to luck; it was because of preparation driven by four simple values—Courage, Excellence, Equity, and Joy. 
    Moonshot is a story of leadership under the most unprecedented circumstances—how Dr. Bourla, a Greek immigrant, a child of Holocaust survivors, and a veterinarian, became the head of one of the world’s largest corporations and initiated a dramatic transformation of the organization just before a global health crisis would serve to test the organization, its scientists, and its leader, like never before. Moonshot describes best practices that can be used to address the multiple, unprecedented challenges our world faces, reveals Pfizer’s implementation of scientific breakthroughs at a record-breaking pace, and offers leadership lessons that can help anyone successfully manage their own seemingly unsolvable problems. As Dr. Bourla explains, “I am sharing the story of our moonshot—the challenges we faced, the lessons we learned, and the core values that allowed us to make it happen—in hopes that it might inspire and inform your own moonshot, whatever that may be.”   
    Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.
