Addressing the Unmet Needs of Cataract Patients: When Quality of Vision Can Make the Difference in Quality of Life
Due to the ageing population, the need for cataract surgery is increasing very steeply in line with demographic change. Cataract surgery is a highly successful and cost-effective intervention, but the implantation of conventional monofocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) only allows a restoration of distance vision, with minimal postoperative functionality of near and intermediate vision, which are necessary for many common daily tasks. Although the removal of the opacified crystalline lens has been demonstrated to have a very positive impact on the mental health, daily functioning, and Quality of Life (QoL) of patients, it is not surprising that the poor visual restoration achieved with conventional monofocal IOLs at different near and intermediate distances might limit patient functioning and consequently QoL, considering changing lifestyles and increased working years. Therefore, this has led to a growing interest toward IOLs that may also reduce spectacle dependence for intermediate and near distances.
Digitisation and Low-Carbon Energy Transitions
The world is digitising as the need for low-carbon transitions gains urgency. Decarbonising energy requires the digital process control of energy production, transmission and end use. Diversified electrification across sectors requires real-time digital coordination of distributed energy production, At the same time, digitisation is accompanied by significant increases in energy demand, partly compensated through energy efficiency gains. The emergent linkages between digitisation and decarbonisation that constitute and enable the twin transition are the subject of this book. The collection features authors from across the social sciences who situate digitisation and low-carbon energy transitions in the socio-technical and political economic contexts in which they unfold, to offer insights on the dynamics and contingencies of digitisation in and beyond the energy sector. This is an open access book.
Ocular Surface Disorders

Innovations in Applied Artificial Intelligence
“Intelligent systems are those which produce intelligent o?springs.” AI researchers have been focusing on developing and employing strong methods that are capable of solving complex real-life problems. The 18th International Conference on Industrial & Engineering Applications of Arti?cial Intelligence & Expert Systems (IEA/AIE 2005) held in Bari, Italy presented such work performed by many scientists worldwide. The Program Committee selected long papers from contributions presenting more complete work and posters from those reporting ongoing research. The Committee enforced the rule that only original and unpublished work could be considered for inclusion in these proceedings. The Progra...
La gara matematica di Firenze. Trent'anni di temi e soluzioni
La Gara Matematica di Firenze compie trenta anni. La competizione si rivolge a studenti della scuola secondaria superiore. Ai partecipanti sono proposti quattro esercizi per risolvere i quali sono più importanti capacità logiche e di ragionamento matematico piuttosto che conoscenze tecniche. Questo volume raccoglie i temi assegnati nelle edizioni fin qui svolte risolti e commentati. I quesiti assegnati, tutti di tipo dimostrativo, rendono questo volume interessante per docenti e studenti che intendano avvicinarsi alle competizioni matematiche.
Zukunft gestalten mit Sozialen Innovationen
Sozialen Innovationen kommt heute – noch verstärkt durch die Corona-Pandemie – immer mehr Aufmerksamkeit zuteil. In Deutschland hat es einige Zeit gebraucht, bis das Konzept und seine Bedeutung ins politische Bewusstsein gerückt ist. Dieser Band spiegelt die interdisziplinären Perspektiven auf Soziale Innovationen wider und fragt nach deren Potenzial, die großen gesellschaftlichen Herausforderungen, etwa soziale Ungleichheit oder Klimawandel, zu bewältigen. Dabei nehmen die Beiträge auch förderpolitische Ansätze auf nationaler und internationaler Ebene und Kriterien zur Bewertung und Wirkung von Sozialen Innovationen in den Blick. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0
Smart Rules for Smart Cities
This book explores the new rules and codes that are required in order to foster the implementation of smart city technologies with a view to meeting the environmental and energy challenges posed by dynamic contemporary cities with increasing populations. In particular, it proposes a methodological approach suitable for use when devising a smart urban/building code for local administrations, taking into account the current European regulatory framework (directives and technical norms) and evaluating the economic feasibility of the suggested measures. A case study is made of a large Mediterranean city in Italy that can be regarded as a paradigm of urban evolution, where a traditional individua...
Innovations in Digital Economy
This book constitutes the revised and extended papers of the First International Conference on Innovations in Digital Economy, SPBU IDE 2019, held in St. Petersburg, Russia, in October 2019. The 8 papers presented were thoroughly reviewed and selected for publication from 78 submissions. The papers are organized according the following topical sections: economic efficiency and social consequences of digital innovations implementation; industrial, service and agricultural digitalization; regional innovation systems and clusters as drivers of the economic growth during the Fourth Industrial Revolution; response of an educational system and labor market to the digital-driven changes in the economic system.
