Men vi befinder os fortsat i den spæde begyndelse af AI-epoken.Vi står i disse tider over for verdenshistoriens største teknologiske revolution. AI – eller kunstig intelligens, som teknologien kendes på dansk – er en samfundsændrende teknologi, der vil transformere alle aspekter af vores liv over de kommende år. AI vil revolutionere vores hverdag, arbejdsplads, skolevæsen og meget mere.Anders Bæk er AI-ekspert og en af landets mest benyttede foredragsholdere, når det gælder kunstig intelligens. I denne bog tager han læseren på en rundvisning ind i fremtiden. Han fortæller gennem konkrete eksempler, hvordan vores fremtid vil blive forandret på både godt og ondt takket være denne science fiction-lignende teknologi.Det kan allerede afsløres nu, at det ikke er småting vores civilisation har i vente …Anders Bæk (f. 1992) er AI-ekspert og en af landets mest benyttede foredragsholdere til at fortælle om den store AI-revolution.

De seneste år er digital farvelægning af gamle fotografier blevet en populær måde at bringe fortiden til live. Det er blevet muligt at farvelægge gamle billeder i så god en kvalitet, at det næsten er blevet svært at kende forskel på et nyt farvefoto og så et farvelagt sort-hvid fotografi. Billederne får et helt nyt liv – og mange af dem ser ud som om de næsten er taget i går.Forfatteren Arne Kjær Hansen er en af dem, der har brugt teknikken. Han har fundet 55 billeder frem fra det gamle Aarhus og farvelagt dem efter de farver, der blev brugt, da billedet blev taget. Der findes billeder fra sidst i 1800-tallet til 1930’erne.Datidens gader og de mennesker, der befolkede dem, kommer pludselig tæt på, når man sidder og betragter Arne Kjær Hansens værker. Hvert enkelt foto er forklaret med en tekst forfattet af historiker Jørgen Mührmann Lund.

Danskerne er gode til opsparing, men renten, de får, er desværre tæt på nul. Det er da ærgerligt! Ved at følge denne bog kan du se frem til et noget bedre afkast. Du lærer nemlig at investere på egen hånd med de billige onlineløsninger. Bogen er er rigt illustreret og giver letlæste, men grundige forklaringer på vigtige begreber som risiko, aktieeksponering og markedskorrektioner. Du læser om at have realistiske forventninger og lærer at vurdere forskellige typer investeringsforeninger og fonde. Og så lærer du en masse om, hvordan markedet fungerer! Bogen giver de nødvendige redskaber til at designe en balanceret portefølje af fonde, som passer til dine helt personlige forhold og tidshorisont. Løsningerne rækker fra det meget enkle, nærmest på autopilot, til det mere aktive og dynamiske. Bogen kan benyttes af alle, uanset om man lige har påbegyndt en opsparing, om man har frie midler fx fra et hussalg, eller om det er en børneopsparing, der skal sættes i gang. Uddrag af bogen Et andet aspekt er, at du skal kende og respektere din personlighed med de begrænsninger, det kan give. For når folk taber penge – og det er der mange, som gør – så skyldes det i høj grad følelser og emotionelle handlinger. Følelserne vil altid være meget aktive, når du investerer, og mange har svært ved at styre dem. Jeg har en ven, som opkøber tyske enkeltaktier. Han køber dem og beholder dem, som han nu har gjort gennem mere end 20 år – noget, jeg selv aldrig ville have kunnet finde ud af. Strategien passer perfekt til hans rolige temperament, hvor jeg selv er en noget mere emotionel og volatil type.

A lavishly illustrated introduction to the world of Rare's highly anticipated game Sea of Thieves, home to krakens, mermaids and buried treasure.

Professor Bent Meier Sørensen har kastet sig ud i et atypisk forsøg: Som mangeårig forsker og underviser ved Copenhagen Business School kunne han for et par år siden konstatere, at det ikke længere var en selvfølge, at de studerende deltog aktivt i undervisningen. Alt for ofte vandt facebook og Google kampen om de unge menneskers opmærksomhed. Bogens forfatter indgik derfor en kontrakt med sine studerende: tilbage til pen og papir, computer og iPad ingen adgang i lokalet. Resultatet: Kvaliteten af undervisningen steg eksplosivt, fordi de havde fundet ro til at forstå komplekse problemstillinger. Hvad betyder det for vores kroppe og hjerner, at vi har vænnet os til konstante afbrydelser, fordi vi går på sociale medier midt i en anden aktivitet? Hvad betyder det for forholdet børn og forældre imellem, når vi ikke længere har øjenkontakt, men taler hen over skærmene? "Skærmens magi" er en kritisk og polemisk bog om vores brug og misbrug af skærme i alle livets vigtigsteforhold: barndom, skole, uddannelse, arbejde, parforhold og familieliv. Når skærmen er slukket, mærker man pludselig, at man er et ensomt og afgrænset individ. For at vokse som menneske må man nu stille sig selv fundamentale spørgsmål som: Hvad betyder virkelig noget i mit liv? Hvilke værdier skal præge mine børns opvækst? Hvilke fysiske fællesskaber vil jeg indgå i? Hvad skal binde os sammen som samfund? "Skærmens magi" er et engageret opråb om at trække stikket noget mere og oftere, så vi husker at tænke stort. Det er ikke nok med mere mindfulness og terapi eller at lære at sige nej og stå fast. Ifølge forfatteren skal vi igen lære at fordybe os i skabende arbejde, hente næring og inspiration i viden, gennem fysisk arbejde, i naturen og kunsten. For ganske enkelt at vokse som mennesker, kultur og samfund. Det kræver træning at aflære dårlige vaner, men kampen er først lige begyndt. Bent Meier Sørensen (født 1967) er professor ved Copenhagen Business School samt klummeskribent ved Kristeligt Dagblad.

Denne bog giver en introduktion til programmeringssproget Struktureret Tekst (ST) der benyttes i Programmerbare Logiske Controllere (PLC) Indhold: - Baggrund, fordele og udfordringer ved ST-programmering - Syntaks og grundlæggende ST-programmering - Stor guide til fornuftig navngivning af variabler - CTU, TOF, TON, CASE, STRUCT, ARRAY, STRING - Guide til opdeling i program moduler og funktioner - Mere end 90 PLC-kode eksempler i farver - FIFO, RND, 3D ARRAY, digitalt filter - Eksempler: Kom fra LADDER over til ST-programmering - Guide til løsning af programmeringsopgaver Bogen går systematisk frem med beskrivelse af de grundlæggende ST-begreber og programmering, herunder tips, og med inddragelse af forfatterens 25 års praktiske erfaring. Der er mange steder uddybende forklaringer til PLC-koden og der er fokus på at læseren lærer at skrive robust, læsbar, struktureret og overskuelig PLC-kode. Desuden fokuseres på at kunne skrive PLC-kode, som ikke kræver en bestemt PLC-type og PLC-kode der kan genbruges, samt PLC-løsninger, der kan benyttes internationalt. Grundlaget for bogen er et materiale, som er udarbejdet løbende med feedback fra undervisere og studerende på automationsteknolog-uddannelsen hos Erhvervs-akademi Dania. Materialet er således løbende opdateret, så det giver svar på de spørgsmål og udfordringer, de studerende typisk har gennem deres studie. ST-programmering til PLC-styringer er fra omkring år 2010 begyndt at blive mere udbredt i Danmark, og siden år 2015 er mange virksomheder i Danmark begyndt udelukkende at levere PLC-styringer, hvor der benyttes ST som det foretrukne programmeringssprog. Dette kræver at flere medarbejdere kan ST og det er et af argumenterne, for at udgive denne bog. Bogen er primært udarbejdet til brug på den videregående fuldtidsuddannelse Automationsteknolog og deltidsuddannelsen Automation og Drift.
