Blockchain Technology : From Theory to Practice
Blockchain is an emerging technology platform for developing decentralized applications and data storage, over and beyond its role as the technology underlying the cryptocurrencies.The basic tenet of this platform is that it allows one to create a distributed and replicated ledger of events, transactions, and data generated through various IT processes with strong cryptographic guarantees of tamper resistance, immutability, and verifiability.Public blockchain platforms allow us to guarantee these properties with overwhelming probabilities even when untrusted users are participants of distributed applications with the ability to transact on the platform.Even though, blockchain technology has become popularly known because of its use in the implementation of cryptocurrencies such as BitCoin, Ethereum, etc.; the technology itself holds much more promise in various areas such as time stamping, logging of critical events in a system, recording of transactions, trustworthy e-governance, etc.It introduces theoretical and practical aspects of blockchain technology.The book includes an in-depth insight into the need for decentralization, smart contracts, consensus both permissioned and permissionless, and various blockchain development frameworks, tools, and platforms.It can be used as a learning resource for various examinations and certifications related to cryptocurrency and blockchain technology.This book explained the nuts and bolts of blockchain technology in lucid language to make students more familiar with the implementation perspective of this much-needed technology.

What are identity theory and competition theory?
Identity theory is a sociological perspective that focuses on how individuals develop and maintain a sense of self and identity through their interactions with others and their social environment. It emphasizes the importance of social roles, relationships, and cultural influences in shaping one's identity. Competition theory, on the other hand, is a perspective that examines how competition for resources, power, and status shapes social relationships and structures. It emphasizes the role of competition in driving social change, inequality, and conflict within societies. Both theories offer valuable insights into the ways in which individuals and societies are shaped by their social interactions and the broader social context.

Is the Big Bang Theory just a theory?
The Big Bang Theory is more than just a theory; it is a well-supported scientific model that explains the origin and evolution of the universe. It is supported by a wide range of observational evidence, such as the cosmic microwave background radiation and the redshift of galaxies. The theory has also made successful predictions about the abundance of light elements in the universe. While it is called a "theory," in scientific terms, a theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world that is based on a body of evidence. Therefore, the Big Bang Theory is a robust and widely accepted scientific explanation for the origin of the universe.
-
Why is the Two-Source Theory a theory?
The Two-Source Theory is considered a theory because it proposes a specific explanation for the literary relationship between the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke. This theory suggests that Matthew and Luke used Mark's Gospel as a source, as well as another common source known as "Q" (from the German word "Quelle," meaning source). While the Two-Source Theory is widely accepted among biblical scholars, it is still a theory because it is based on scholarly analysis and interpretation of the textual similarities and differences between the Gospels, rather than definitive historical evidence.
-
Is the theory of evolution still a theory?
Yes, the theory of evolution is still considered a scientific theory. In scientific terms, a theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world that is based on a body of evidence. The theory of evolution is supported by a vast amount of evidence from various scientific disciplines, including genetics, paleontology, and comparative anatomy. It has undergone rigorous testing and scrutiny, and continues to be a foundational concept in the field of biology. Therefore, it is still considered a valid and widely accepted scientific theory.

Militarizing Artificial Intelligence : Theory, Technology, and Regulation
This book examines the military characteristics and potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the new global revolution in military affairs. Offering an original perspective on the utilization, imagination, and politics of AI in the context of military development and weapons regulation, the work provides a comprehensive response to the question of how we might reflect on the AI revolution in warfare and what can be said about the ways in which this has been handled.In the first part of the book, AI is accommodated, both theoretically and empirically, in the strategic context of the 'Revolution in Military Affairs' (RMA).The book offers a novel understanding of autonomous weapons as multi-layered composite systems, pointing to a complex, non-linear interplay between evolutionary and revolutionary dynamics.In the second section, the book provides an impartial analysis of the related politics and operations of power, whereby increases in military budgets and R&D of the great powers are met and countered by advocacy networks and scientists campaigning for a ban on lethal autonomous weapons.As such, it moves beyond popular caricatures of ‘killer robots’ and points out some of the problems which result from over-reliance on such imagery. This book will be of much interest to students of strategic studies, critical security studies, arms control and disarmament, science and technology studies and general International Relations.

Novel Theory and Technology in Modernist Britain
Modernism reshaped novel theory, shifting criticism away from readers' experiences and toward the work as an object autonomous from any reader.Novel Theory and Technology in Modernist Britain excavates technology's crucial role in this evolution and offers a new history of modernism's vision of the novel.To many modernists, both novel and machine increasingly seemed to merge into the experiences of readers or users.But modernists also saw potential for a different understanding of technology - in pre-modern machines, or the technical functioning of technologies stripped of their current social roles.With chapters on Henry James, Ford Madox Ford, Wyndham Lewis, and Rebecca West, Novel Theory argues that in these alternative visions of technology, modernists found models for how the novel might become an autonomous, intellectual object rather than a familiar experience, and articulated a future for the novel by imagining it as a new kind of machine.

Which theory is applied in relation to South Korea: dependency theory or modernization theory?
In relation to South Korea, the modernization theory is more commonly applied. This theory suggests that countries develop and progress through stages of economic growth, technological advancement, and social change. South Korea is often cited as a successful example of modernization theory, as it rapidly transformed from a poor, agrarian society to a highly industrialized and technologically advanced nation in a relatively short period of time. Dependency theory, on the other hand, focuses on the idea that developing countries are exploited and kept in a state of underdevelopment by more powerful, industrialized nations.

What are the extremism theory and the horseshoe theory?
Extremism theory posits that extremist ideologies on opposite ends of the political spectrum share similar characteristics, such as intolerance, authoritarianism, and a willingness to use violence to achieve their goals. Horseshoe theory suggests that the far-left and far-right ideologies are more similar to each other than to the moderate center, forming a horseshoe shape where the extremes bend towards each other. Both theories highlight the potential for radical ideologies to converge in their methods and goals despite appearing to be ideologically opposed.

What is the difference between identity theory and representation theory?
Identity theory focuses on the idea that an individual's identity is inherent and fixed, while representation theory examines how identities are constructed and represented in society. Identity theory emphasizes the internal sense of self, while representation theory looks at how identities are portrayed and perceived by others. Representation theory also considers the power dynamics and social structures that influence the way identities are represented in media, culture, and institutions.
