Advanced Information Technology in Education
The volume includes a set of selected papers extended and revised from the 2011 International Conference on Computers and Advanced Technology in Education. With the development of computers and advanced technology, the human social activities are changing basically. Education, especially the education reforms in different countries, has been experiencing the great help from the computers and advanced technology. Generally speaking, education is a field which needs more information, while the computers, advanced technology and internet are a good information provider. Also, with the aid of the computer and advanced technology, persons can make the education an effective combination. Therefore, computers and advanced technology should be regarded as an important media in the modern education. Volume Advanced Information Technology in Education is to provide a forum for researchers, educators, engineers, and government officials involved in the general areas of computers and advanced technology in education to disseminate their latest research results and exchange views on the future research directions of these fields.
Translation and Localization Project Management
Over the past three decades, translation has evolved from a profession practiced largely by individuals to a cottage industry model and finally to a formally recognized industrial sector that is project-based, heavily outsourced and that encompasses a wide range of services in addition to translation. As projects have grown in size, scope and complexity, and as project teams have become increasingly distributed across geographies, time zones, languages and cultures, formalized project management has emerged as both a business requirement and a critical success factor for language service providers. In recognition of these developments, this volume examines the application of project management concepts, tools and techniques to translation and localization projects. The contributors are seasoned practitioners and scholars who offer insights into the central role of project management in the language industry today and discuss best-practice approaches to the adaptation of generic project management knowledge, skills, tools and techniques for translation and localization projects.
Transformative Approaches to Sustainable Development at Universities
This book documents and disseminates experiences from a wide range of universities, across the five continents, which showcase how the principles of sustainable development may be incorporated as part of university programmes, and present transformatory projects and programmes, showing how sustainability can be implemented across disciplines. Sustainability in a higher education context is a fast growing field. Thousands of universities across the world have signed declarations or have committed themselves to integrate the principles of sustainable development in their activities: teaching, research and extension, and many more will follow.
Management of Natural Resources, Sustainable Development and Ecological Hazards III
This book contains the proceedings of the third in a now-biennial series organized by the Wessex Institute of Technology around the urgent need to determine solutions regarding sustainable development before our planet reaches a point of irreversibility. The aggressive search for new sources of energy and materials, the rapid rate at which natural resources are being consumed, and the destructiveness of the resulting pollution are all having a negative impact on the planet that needs to be stopped, if not reversed. As at the first two, participants at this conference will take stock of our situation and try to facilitate constructive principles and policies for a way forward, something that can only be done by transdisciplinary cooperation. Thus papers will examine ethical, political and social issues, health, safety and risk, lessons from nature, planning and development, and new technologies.
Proceedings of the 8th International Conference on the Applications of Science and Mathematics
This book presents peer-reviewed articles and recent advances on the potential applications of Science and Mathematics for future technologies, from the 8th International Conference on the Applications of Science and Mathematics (SCIEMATHIC 2022), held in Malaysia. It provides an insight about the leading trends in sustainable Science and Technology. Topics included in this proceedings are in the areas of Mathematics and Statistics, including Natural Science, Engineering and Artificial Intelligence.
Global Business Transcendence
Global Business Transcendence focuses on both empirical studies with practical application and examinations of theoretical and methodological developments in the field of business studies. By drawing on important research and case study material from contributors all over the world, this collection offers genuinely international perspectives on the key issues and concerns preoccupying policy and decision makers, bringing together chapters that examine international business strategies across emerged and emerging economies. The collection argues that country's borders are becoming less important from a trade perspective. We are thus quickly approaching a single global economy.
Managing Human, Environment, and Natural Resources for Sustainability
This volume contains the Proceeding of the UMT 8th Annual Symposium on Sustainability Science and Management, which was held in Kuala Terengganu from May 3rd to 4th in 2009. About 200 participants from local and international countries attended the symposium and 150 papers were presented, 110 of them as oral presentations and others as posters.
Frontiers of Mechanical Engineering and Materials Engineering
Selected, peer reviewed papers from the 2012 International Conference on Frontiers of Mechanical Engineering and Materials Engineering (MEME 2012), July 27-29, 2012, HongKong
Solar Technology and Global Environmental Justice
Building on insights from ecological economics and philosophy of technology, this book offers a novel, interdisciplinary approach to understand the contradictory nature of Solar photovoltaic (PV) technology. Solar photovoltaic (PV) technology is rapidly emerging as a cost-effective option in the world economy. However, reports about miserable working conditions, environmentally deleterious mineral extraction and toxic waste dumps corrode the image of a problem-free future based on solar power. Against this backdrop, Andreas Roos explores whether ‘ecologically unequal exchange’ – an asymmetric transfer of labour time and natural resources – is a necessary condition for solar PV develo...
Renewable and Sustainable Energy II
Selected, peer reviewed papers from the 2012 International Conference on Energy and Environmental Protection (ICEEP 2012), June 23-24, 2012, Hohhot, China
