“Liberty for Androids!”: Player Choice, Politics, and Populism in Detroit: Become Human by Stefan Schubert

“…I argue that it features and presents narrative choices in a way that encourages players to make decisions not solely for personal or empathetic reasons but also through a political contemplation, and I contend that the manner in which the game narratively presents individual agency and populist imaginations of “the people” complicates this political project. …”

An optimized approach for container deployment driven by a two-stage load balancing mechanism. by Chaoze Lu, Jianchao Zhou, Qifeng Zou

“…In the initial stage, a greedy algorithm is employed for coarse-grained deployment, facilitating the distribution of container services across virtual machines in a balanced manner based on resource requests. The subsequent stage utilizes a genetic algorithm for fine-grained resource allocation, ensuring an equitable distribution of resources to each container service on a single virtual machine. …”

Challenges in “probing spectroscopic probes” for noninvasive simultaneous disease diagnosis by Lopamudra Roy, Shweta Paul, Amrita Banerjee, Ria Ghosh, Susmita Mondal, Monojit Das, Monojit Das, Nivedita Pan, Ishitri Das, Soumendra Singh, Debasish Bhattacharya, Asim Kumar Mallick, Samir Kumar Pal

“…Noninvasive diagnosis of human diseases relies on the detection of molecular markers (probes) in a painless manner. Although extrinsic and intrinsic molecular markers are often used, intrinsic disease probes (molecular markers) are preferable because they are naturally present in our body, and deviation in their concentration from normal levels clearly indicates anomalies in human bodies, that is, diseases. …”

Walking into the wild. A transition to a co-evolutionary landscape by Adriano Dessì

“… This research paper attempts to shift the approach and the possible attitudes of architectural and landscape design towards an interpretation of ecological transition based on the dimension of the ‘wild’, that is, on the possibility that the transformation of places by man contemplates other and the most diverse forms of life, spheres of proximity in which human activities give way to third and fourth natures, which develop their own habitats in an autonomous, dynamic and vital manner. In this reflection, thinking about a ‘landscape of the wild’ means thinking again about the relationship between human and natural habitats, which develops on many levels that cannot be reduced and simplified in the impending phenomenon of ‘rewilding’, ranging from the possibility of giving shape to the spaces of nature, of creating new forms of shared spaces between man and living things, to the conception of minimal architectures necessary to stimulate ancient human practices (such as walking) and which are capable of developing new ecologies.   …”
