The Political Implications Of Human Genetic Technology

The Political Implications Of Human Genetic Technology

Human genetic technology has advanced rapidly in recent years to the point where amniocentesis is commonplace and in vitro fertilization has been successful. On the horizon looms the specter of human cloning and genetic engineering raising a storm of new moral and ethical questions. These questions asserts the author are not the only ones to be considered; the impact and role of public policy are equally critical. What part should the state play in human genetic intervention? To what extent does a democratic society have the duty to take steps to reduce genetic disease and improve the quality of life through genetic engineering? If society has such responsibility at what stage does societal good preempt individual rights? What is society's obligation toward future generations and is genetic manipulation justifiable on these grounds? After surveying the state of the art the author grapples with these questions contending that decisions ultimately will not be based on ethical and moral grounds –they will be fought out in the political arena. | The Political Implications Of Human Genetic Technology

Applied Genetic Programming and Machine Learning

What do financial data prediction day-trading rule development and bio-marker selection have in common? They are just a few of the tasks that could potentially be resolved with genetic programming and machine learning techniques. Written by leaders in this field Applied Genetic Programming and Machine Learning delineates the extension of Genetic Programming (GP) for practical applications. Reflecting rapidly developing concepts and emerging paradigms this book outlines how to use machine learning techniques make learning operators that efficiently sample a search space navigate the search process through the design of objective fitness functions and examine the search performance of the evolutionary system. It provides a methodology for integrating GP and machine learning techniques establishing a robust evolutionary framework for addressing tasks from areas such as chaotic time-series prediction system identification financial forecasting classification and data mining. The book provides a starting point for the research of extended GP frameworks with the integration of several machine learning schemes.

The Driving Forces of Evolution Genetic Processes in Populations

The Driving Forces of Evolution Genetic Processes in Populations

To cope with the abiotic stress-induced osmotic problems plants adapt by either increasing uptake of inorganic ions from the external solution or by de novo synthesis of organic compatible solutes acting as osmolytes. Of the osmoregulants and protectants discussed in this volume trehalose fructans ectoine and citrulline which are generated in different species in osmotically ineffective amounts mitigate the stress effects on cells/plants and improve productivity. There are several pieces of encouraging research discussed in this volume showing significant improvement in stress tolerance and in turn productivity by involving genetic engineering techniques. | The Driving Forces of Evolution Genetic Processes in Populations

Genetic Theory of Reality

Genetic Theory of Reality

James Mark Baldwin left a legacy that has yet to be fully examined one with profound implications for science and the humanities. In some sense it paralleled that of his friend Charles Sanders Peirce whose semiotics became understood only a century later. Baldwin was trying to make sense of complex biological and social processes that only now have come into the limelight as biological sciences have re-emerged in psychology. Baldwin's focus on development based on the observation of his own children and extrapolated to his general theoretical scheme is fully in line with where contemporary biological sciences are heading. This is exemplified by the bounded flexibility of the work of the genetic system. The general principle of persistent exploration of the environment with the result of creating novelty which was the core of Baldwin's theoretical system has since the 1960s become the guiding idea in genetics. Contemporary developmental science is rooted in Baldwin's thinking. In his new introduction Jaan Valsiner shows that Baldwin's Genetic Theory of Reality demonstrates how human beings are in their nature social beings establishes an alternative conceptualization of evolutionary theory and formulates a system of developmental logic all of which serve as the foundation for developmental psychology as a whole. This is a work of social science rediscovery long overdue.

Biodiversity Genetic Resources and Intellectual Property Developments in Access and Benefit Sharing

Biodiversity Genetic Resources and Intellectual Property Developments in Access and Benefit Sharing

Debates about Access and Benefit Sharing (ABS) have moved on in recent years. An initial focus on the legal obligations established by international agreements like the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity and the form of obligations for collecting physical biological materials have now moved to a far more complex series of disputes and challenges about the ways ABS should be implemented and enforced: repatriation of resources technology transfer traditional knowledge and cultural expressions; open access to information and knowledge naming conventions farmers’ rights new schemes for accessing pandemic viruses and sharing DNA sequences and so on. Unfortunately most of this debate is now crystallised into apparently intractable discussions such as implementing the certificates of origin recognising traditional knowledge and traditional cultural expression as a form of intellectual property and sovereignty for Indigenous peoples. Not everything in this new marketplace of ABS has been created de novo. Like most new entrants ABS has disrupted existing legal and governance arrangements. This collection of chapters examines what is new what has been changed and what might be changed in response to the growing acceptance and prevalence of ABS of genetic resources. Biodiversity Genetic Resources and Intellectual Property: Developments in Access and Benefit Sharing of Genetic Resources addresses current issues arising from recent developments in the enduring and topical debates about managing genetic resources through the ABS regime. The book explores key historical doctrinal and theoretical issues in the field at the same time developing new ideas and perspectives around ABS. It shows the latest state of knowledge and will be of interest to researchers academics policymakers and students in the fields of intellectual property governance biodiversity and conservation sustainable development and agriculture. | Biodiversity Genetic Resources and Intellectual Property Developments in Access and Benefit Sharing

Genetic Seeds of Warfare Evolution Nationalism and Patriotism

Genetic Seeds of Warfare Evolution Nationalism and Patriotism

For millennia humanity has simultaneously deplored and waged war. With each conflict the stakes have risen and we now face global annihilation for the sake of a practice all the world claims to condemn. Is there some seemingly irresistible force that impels us toward our own destruction? To explain this central paradox of human behaviour Genetic Seeds of Warfare originally published in 1989 advances a startling new theory. It traces the origins of warfare back to early groups of Homo sapiens in competition for scarce resources showing that warfare evolved as these groups evolved: kin-group against kin-group; tribe against tribe; nation against nation. Rather than being tied to a specific gene warfare emerged as one of many behavioural strategies for maximising genetic survival. As social groups became more complex motivations for warfare developed from simple protection of blood relations to political appeals to shared ethnicity religion and national identity. But the ultimate cause of warfare is rooted in the most basic of human drives: the need to ensure that one’s genes will survive and reproduce. The authors challenge many assumptions about human behaviour in general and warfare in particular. They convincingly present the case for an evolutionary understanding of the propensity for warfare supporting their argument with data from a vast array of social and natural science research. In doing so they reveal why previous attempts at ending war have failed and make proactive suggestions toward the development of a new agenda for world peace. | Genetic Seeds of Warfare Evolution Nationalism and Patriotism
