Agricultural Supply Chains and Industry 4.0
This book explores the impact of industry 4.0 on agricultural supply chains, exploring how changes such as increased digitisation, automation, and the digital value chain, will impact food production globally. At a time when increasing population and environmental degradation puts stress on food supply chains, traditional farming operation models struggle to maintain both sustainability and transparency.

Rethinking Virtual Places
How would the humanities change if we grappled with the ways in which digital and virtual places are designed, experienced, and critiqued? In Rethinking Virtual Places, Erik Malcolm Champion draws from the fields of computational sciences and other place-related disciplines to argue for a more central role for virtual space in the humanities. For instance, recent developments in neuroscience could improve our understanding of how people experience, store, and recollect place-related encounters. Similarly, game mechanics using virtual place design might make digital environments more engaging and learning content more powerful and salient. In addition, Champion provides a brief introduction to new and emerging software and devices and explains how they help, hinder, or replace our traditional means of designing and exploring places. Perfect for humanities scholars fascinated by the potential of virtual space, Rethinking Virtual Places challenges both traditional and recent evaluation methods to address the complicated problem of understanding how people evaluate and engage with the notion of place.

Dezentrale Handelsplattformen im Schweizer Finanzmarktrecht
Gegenstand der Dissertation ist eine umfassende rechtstatsächliche und finanzmarktrechtliche Einordnung des Phänomens der dezentralen Handelsplattformen (Decentralized Exchanges, DEX). Der Autor behandelt die Frage, ob dezentrale Handelsplattformen unter Berücksichtigung der mit ihnen verbundenen Innovationschancen und der von ihnen ausgehenden Risiken einen Regulierungsanlass darstellen und wie darauf reagiert werden kann. Die Arbeit zeigt die praktischen Einordnungsprobleme auf, mit welchen das heutige Finanzmarktrecht konfrontiert ist. Um für diese Probleme mögliche Antworten zu entwickeln, erarbeitet der Autor auf der Grundlage eines Rechtsprinzips der Dezentralität Kriterien, welche die Abgrenzung dezentraler Handelsplattformen von Erscheinungsformen erlauben, die über keine ausreichende Verteilung der Kontroll- und Machtstrukturen verfügen (Dezentralitätstest). Der Autor kommt zum Schluss, dass für dezentrale Phänomene in erster Linie Regulierungsansätze überzeugend sind, die ihre Grundlage in einer selbstverantwortlich und wettbewerblich organisierten Finanzmarktordnung haben.
Economics and Power
In the economic debate, power is defined and studied mainly as an interpersonal relation occurring out of perfect competition. This is a consequence of the combination of methodological individualism and the assumption of competition as a natural and everlasting coordinating mechanism, operating without any sort of coercion. This methodology, however, is not adequate to analyze the forms of social coercion that characterize capitalism. Economics and Power criticizes the main theories of power developed in economic literature, analyzing ultraliberal contractualism to radical political economics, and ultimately suggesting a Marxist conception of power and coercion in capitalism. Palermo’s on...
