The rapid evolution of software engineering demands innovative approaches to meet the growing complexity and scale of modern software systems. Traditional methods often need help to keep pace with the demands for efficiency, reliability, and scalability. Manual development, testing, and maintenance processes are time-consuming and error-prone, leading to delays and increased costs. Additionally, integrating new technologies, such as AI, ML, Federated Learning, and Large Language Models (LLM), presents unique challenges in terms of implementation and ethical considerations. Advancing Software Engineering Through AI, Federated Learning, and Large Language Models provides a compelling solution by comprehensively exploring how AI, ML, Federated Learning, and LLM intersect with software engineering. By presenting real-world case studies, practical examples, and implementation guidelines, the book ensures that readers can readily apply these concepts in their software engineering projects. Researchers, academicians, practitioners, industrialists, and students will benefit from the interdisciplinary insights provided by experts in AI, ML, software engineering, and ethics.

Reproductive Justice and the Catholic Church Advancing Pragmatic Solidarity with Pregnant Women


Free Download Emily Reimer-Barry, "Reproductive Justice and the Catholic Church: Advancing Pragmatic Solidarity with Pregnant Women"
English | ISBN: 1538182653 | 2024 | 298 pages | EPUB, PDF | 524 KB + 2 MB
Pregnancy loss is profoundly complex, ambiguous, and alienating, but telling women who have procured abortions that they are murderers and sinners is not the best way forward. Magisterial teachings on abortion are too often presented as moral absolutes, when in fact moral absolutism distorts the rich wisdom of the Catholic intellectual tradition. This book initiates a new conversation about women’s experiences of miscarriage, stillbirth, and abortion, arguing that we need not approach these difficult life experiences in a simplistic way. Dr. Reimer-Barry argues that both the pro-life and pro-choice movements make important and valuable claims, yet each approach on its own is flawed. Drawing on the framework of reproductive justice together with Catholic social teaching, Dr. Reimer-Barry suggests a new way forward for abortion discourse that takes seriously the full human dignity of women and the intrinsic (though not absolute) value of prenatal life. She argues that instead of thinking of the Church as a moral teacher-with leaders in Rome or Washington, DC dictating to the consciences of the faithful-a better way to address the complexity of difficult pregnancy discernments would be to think of the Church as a community of support in the midst of and after difficult discernments; a community that seeks justice together and implements structural reforms while also providing spiritual care to those in need. What women deserve, is justice.

English | ISBN: 1527593452 | 2023 | 175 pages | PDF | 5 MB
Societal values, geopolitics, technological advancements, and population shifts have affected language teaching methods and approaches within universities. Although the 21st-century job market calls for proficiency in multiple languages, enrollments in language courses have steadily declined in higher education institutions. This timely collection of essays addresses the multiple perspectives arising from current issues such as declining language enrollments, suitable pedagogical approaches to meet the job market demands, and lessons learned from the recent global COVID-19 pandemic.
