This book presents a holistic approach to the design and use of drones. It argues that this powerful technology requires high levels of ethical analysis and responsibility – our moral progress must keep pace with our technological progress. Drone technologies support and diminish the flourishing of certain human values, impact power relations between individuals and groups, and add an additional element to the complex network of humans and objects in modern society. The book begins by introducing four prototype drones designed and built by the author: the healthcare drone, the search and rescue drone, the educational drone, and the spiritual drone. These drones have been developed using a value-sensitive design approach – with values such as human welfare, privacy, trust, environmental sustainability, and justice at the forefront. Ethical analyses and social impacts are taken as design inputs, leading to the creation of better, more responsible drone designs. The book then showcases additional methods used to develop the prototype drones from the fields of engineering, ethics, and art, including ethical frameworks, ethics standards, capability caution, and speculative design. The holistic approach reveals a more subtle and nuanced view of drones than the currently polarized characterization of "the good drone" or "the killer drone". The book concludes with recommendations for drone engineers, companies, lawmakers, and citizens on how to support ethics in drone design. The Ethics of Drone Design is an essential resource for scholars, advanced students, engineers, and designers interested in the ethics of technology.

This book explores South Korean university students’ perceptions of the English Medium Instruction (EMI) courses they have taken. It specifically examines how the interplay of linguistic capital and trust shapes their EMI experiences.In South Korea, the implementation of neoliberal EMI policies, driven by a 'top-down' approach, has failed to adequately address the linguistic challenges faced by stakeholders. The setting for the book is a research-intensive university, where data were collected from ten engineering and business students through semi-structured interviews and analysed using Constructivist Grounded Theory (CGT), enabling a grounded understanding of the students’ perceptions. The areas investigated are students’ perceptions of their past experiences, of their access to subject content, and of how interactions take shape in their EMI experiences. Emerging from the analysis is a dynamic between trust and linguistic capital, which has been shaped by the past and which affects the future, leading to epistemic outcomes. The results indicate that monolingually framed trust in situated-linguistic codes plays a role in the students’ EMI experiences, and from this ‘Situated-Linguistic Capital Theory’ emerges. The theory indicates that monolingually framed trust reinforces binary choices, in particular EMI situations, of using either the L1 or the L2 system, which can lead to potential epistemic outcomes. The book concludes with a discussion of the factors that can determine the future success of EMI in South Korea.This volume will be of interest to researchers and postgraduate students examining English Medium Instruction and its success in different higher education contexts.
This book provides a theoretical framework to allow educators, researchers, and policymakers to better understand computer-generated writing and the policy and pedagogical implications of generative AI.Generative AI, such as ChatGPT and Gemini, has substantially disrupted educational spaces, forcing educators, policymakers, and other stakeholders to reconsider writing and how it should be used in education. Responding to this disruption, this book provides technically sound guidance on how various stakeholders should engage with generative AI. After providing a foundational and technical discussion of the technology, this book directly addresses the educational context. Informed by theories of learning and knowledge transfer and utilizing rhetorical theories of writing, this book assesses the impact of AI on student learning, student performance, and academic honesty and integrity. In doing so, the book outlines how generative AI can be both a help and a hindrance for students, enabling readers to craft informed and meaningful policies and successfully integrate AI in the composition classroom.This book will be of interest to scholars in the fields of Rhetoric and Composition, Technical Writing, Communication Studies, Linguistics, and TESOL, as well as to Education and Machine Learning policymakers, program directors, and researchers.

Found family forged in a land of second chances.A rising army of the possessed threatens the sanctity of the peaceful land of Ma-Ural and with whispers of an old enemy once thought dead returning, fear has swept over the land.

The Island nation of Ma-Ural has long been a place of peace and prosperity, with vast deposits of precious gems and mythril ore-valuable for its magical properties and heavily sought after on the mainland-but perhaps its greatest resource is opportunity. It has always been a place of sanctuary and rebirth, and host to many adventurers seeking not only their second-chance in life but a chance at immortality, as they begin their pilgrimage to the hidden city of Mysrik.But times are changing. Ma-Ural's long established peace has been crumbling, with tensions rising between the east and west, between races, and between simple magic users and one who is willing to stop at nothing to gain all the power of Mysrik for his own nefarious purposes.Standing in his way are an unlikely group of companions brought together by circumstance: Elaria, a na ve and virtuous paladin, hoping to make a name for herself and honour both her training and her oath; Hoots, a runaway gnome more powerful than her diminutive form would suggest; Trit, a half-elf bard looking for answers about his family; and "Carion," a powerful demon-kin, haunted by a past so dark he might never escape it, even if he manages to live forever.

Motin examines great powers’ reactions to the rise of new powers in bipolar international systems by exploring an understudied problem: the rarity of armed emergence after 1945.The book focuses on Egypt, Iraq, Syria, and Vietnam; the few minor powers that attempted to emerge as great powers through force during the Cold War. Geography and existing powers’ reactions are analyzed as the two key factors determining a nation’s attempts at territorial expansion to achieve power on the global political stage. This systematic investigation of previously overlooked cases has profound implications for the scholarship on the rise and fall of great powers.In a context where territorial conquest is returning worldwide, scholars studying international relations, international security, and strategic studies should find valuable insights in this realist take.
