Stalinism in Ukraine in the 1940s focuses on the economic and social problems in Ukraine, particularly during the war years, and the collectivization of agriculture in Western Ukraine in the late 1940s. It compares the imposition of the Stalinist system in Eastern Ukraine in the 1930s to that in Western Ukraine in the following decade, using recently released Soviet archival information and historical works.
Belarus: From Soviet Rule to Nuclear Catastrophe examines the principal effects of Soviet rule on Belarus as the prelude to a detailed analysis of the medical and social consequences of the nuclear accident at Chernobyl. It places these problems into the contemporary political context and assesses the ability of the newly-independent state to deal with a disaster of such dimensions.

The intersection of AI, the Internet of Things (IoT) and edge computing has kindled the edge AI revolution that promises to redefine how we perceive and interact with the physical world through intelligent devices. Edge AI moves intelligence from the network centre to the devices at its edge, entrusting these endpoints to analyse data locally, make decisions, and provide real-time responses.Recent advances in power-efficient high-performance embedded silicon make edge AI a viable proposition, albeit one requiring new distributed architectures and novel design concepts. Moving decision-making closer to the edge makes responses faster and systems more reliable, while the constant pressure to reduce network bandwidth demand and the need to contain spiralling data storage and operations costs help justify the engineering investment necessary to embrace this new paradigm. Moving to decentralised operation opens the door to a multitude of novel applications, covering immersive technologies and autonomous systems across fields as diverse as healthcare and industrial automation, personal assistance and prognostics, surgery, and process control. In the best tradition of systems engineering, the first stage of this transition process is understanding the application domain for edge AI deployment, the ""system context"".This book presents some key topics and early thinking from the EdgeAI* project, covering data backhaul technologies, lifecycle management, mechanisms for developing AIs at the edge and techniques for interacting with those AIs. It provides examples of application domains before concluding with a review of how edge AI systems can be understood by their users. It also examines and presents new results based on current investigations and activities in edge AI technologies, considering the future trends in autonomic systems, hyperautomation, AI engineering, generative AI, connectivity, and cybersecurity mesh.This book aims to empower the reader with the knowledge and insights needed to understand and embrace the transformative power of edge AI technology. The extensively referenced chapters, contributed by experts and thought leaders in the field, are recommended to anyone interested in developing edge AI systems.*Edge AI Technologies for Optimised Performance Embedded Processing" (EdgeAI) Key Digital Technologies (KDT) Joint Undertaking (JU) European research project. https://https://edge-ai-tech.eu/

A Platonic dialogue in the form of a double anachronism--the action takes place two centuries after our era--Joseph Brodsky's only play, Marbles, is set in a prison cell that alone provides for the three unities of classic drama: those of time, place, and action. A nightmare rather than a utopia, this play proceeds according to the immanent logic of mental aggravation as its two characters, the inmates Publius and Tullius, examine the tautology of their psychological, historical, and purely physical confines. The fusion of its dour, somewhat terrifying vision with the macabre hilarity of its verbal texture allows Marbles to take its audience beyond the farthest reaches of the theatre of the absurd, into territory more suitable for modernist imagination than for human experience.
Ever imagine what it would be like as a child living in an era where time had stopped and prices rarely changed? Where for a few cents of your meagre pocket money, you could purchase a veritable feast of assorted lollies, a chocolate-coated ice-cream or maybe a bottle of fizzy soft drink. Everyone read newspapers, books, magazines or comics, listened to a radio and few owned a television or even a car. Where computers and mobile telephones were yet to be invented, you enjoyed virtually unrestricted childhood freedoms, and walked between home and primary school because it was great fun. Then you should read about my childhood experiences being raised in the 1950s and early 1960s in a small semi-rural community in Australia. There are many humorous encounters and novel adventures to enjoy; from the fireworks and bonfires of Cracker night, the Friday night picture shows in town, extended holidays at the beach and exploring the local district, to the many unusual family experiences, struggles and rewards of life as Australia entered a new age of unprecedented economic growth following the Second World War. This personal journey shares the considerable changes that occurred in Australian society through a child's perspective into the early 1960s as the Space Age dawned, and many new modern domestic appliances and toys were invented whilst television dominated entertainment. It contrasts the simpler, abundant pleasures enjoyed by children that were to change dramatically as I entered my teenage years and commenced secondary schooling, effectively ending my beloved golden years of childhood. If you are looking to appreciate a distinctly unique era of Australian culture long since gone, where families improvised with limited physical resources yet children still lived a relatively carefree life, then this book is definitely for you.
