This volume provides a framework for approaching and understanding mental normativity. It presents cutting-edge research on the ethics of belief as well as innovative research beyond the normativity of belief-and towards an ethics of mind. By moving beyond traditional issues of epistemology the contributors discuss the most current ideas revolving around rationality, responsibility, and normativity.The book's chapters are divided into two main parts. Part I discusses contemporary issues surrounding the normativity of belief. The essays here cover topics such as control over belief and its implication for the ethics of belief, the role of the epistemic community for the possibility of epistemic normativity, responsibility for believing, doxastic partiality in friendship, the structure and content of epistemic norms, and the norms for suspension of judgment. In Part II the focus shifts from the practical dimensions of belief to the normativity and rationality of other mental states-especially blame, passing thoughts, fantasies, decisions, and emotions. These essays illustrate how we might approach an ethics of mind by focusing not only on belief, but also more generally on debates about responsibility and rationality, as well as on normative questions concerning other mental states or attitudes.The Ethics of Belief and Beyond paves the way towards an ethics of mind by building on and contributing to recent philosophical discussions in the ethics of belief and the normativity of other mental phenomena. It will be of interest to upper-level students and researchers working in epistemology, ethics, philosophy of action, philosophy of mind, and moral psychology.

Today's healthcare organizations must focus on a lot more than just the health of their clients. The infrastructure it takes to support clinical-care delivery continues to expand, with information technology being one of the most significant contributors to that growth. As companies have become more dependent on technology for their clinical, administrative, and financial functions, their IT departments and expenditures have had to scale quickly to keep up. However, as technology demands have increased, so have the options for reliable infrastructure for IT applications and data storage. The one that has taken center stage over the past few years is cloud computing. Healthcare researchers are moving their efforts to the cloud because they need adequate resources to process, store, exchange, and use large quantities of medical data.Cloud Computing in Medical Imaging covers the state-of-the-art techniques for cloud computing in medical imaging, healthcare technologies, and services. The book focuses onMachine-learning algorithms for health data securityFog computing in IoT-based health careMedical imaging and healthcare applications using fog IoT networksDiagnostic imaging and associated servicesImage steganography for medical informaticsThis book aims to help advance scientific research within the broad field of cloud computing in medical imaging, healthcare technologies, and services. It focuses on major trends and challenges in this area and presents work aimed to identify new techniques and their use in biomedical analysis.

At Home With Ivan Vladislavi¿ is the first comprehensive analysis of the works of Ivan Vladislavi¿. Bringing a flaneur's "internal GPS" to postcolonial Johannesburg, Vladislavi¿ established a critical sense of home via an intimate knowledge of geography and history. This sense of belonging can have positive ecological effects as we tend to protect what we know. The flaneur's deep word hoard also helped him to develop a minimalist style, which was not only a means of living sustainably in the city, but in its humour and close attention to detail a way to make greening the city more of a joy than a duty. In this way, Vladislavi¿ created a culture of sustainability.
