Handbook of Research on Solving Societal Challenges Through Sustainability-Oriented Innovation
In light of deeply dynamic and challenging contexts, innovation as a driver of sustainability could provide recommendations and real solutions to achieve a better world. Sustainable technologies are a critical aspect of modern innovation, as they consider natural resources and foster economic and social development. The goal of these technologies is to drastically reduce environmental and ecological risks and to create a sustainable product. The Handbook of Research on Solving Societal Challenges Through Sustainability-Oriented Innovation emphasizes the importance of innovation and sustainability as a possible solution for the challenges of society and reflects on the trends and opportunities for the coming decades. Covering key topics such as big data, innovation, digitalization, circular economy, and artificial intelligence, this premier reference source is ideal for industry professionals, government officials, computer scientists, policymakers, researchers, scholars, practitioners, instructors, and students.
Leadership and Governance for Sustainability
Although the study of governance is not new, it has only been recognized in the last two decades as being a crucial factor for organizational success. Successful implementation and the practice of governance in the public sector improves organizational performance through increased efficiency, productivity, quality, and innovation to support sustainability. Leadership and Governance for Sustainability provides critical research on concepts that influence sustainable development policy and examines the role of governance in current development discourse. Covering topics such as governance frameworks, sustainable development, and collaborative government models, this book is ideal for policymakers, government officials, academicians, students, researchers, sustainability advocacy groups, and more.
The Halo Conspiracy
In mid-twenty-first century, solving murders hasn’t become any easier. Cutting edge science has created more opportunities for crime than offered solutions. A ruthless technology company threatens to reveal Project Halo, a scientific breakthrough that will change humanity forever. Layers of secrecy conceal cutting-edge robotics, artificial intelligence and even rumors of synthetic humans. Before scientists can correct flaws that threaten the program, someone or something murders the brains behind the project. Michael Murphy’s witty fast-paced sci-fi mystery introduces Lucas Nash, a gritty, by the book homicide detective thrust into a world he always avoids, high tech. He sifts through a ...
Advanced Neuroradiology Cases
Featuring atypical cases and focusing on advanced imaging techniques, this book presents a compilation of unusual CNS pathologies with characteristic imaging findings. The aim is to aid the speedy diagnosis of otherwise rarely encountered clinical conditions and improve patient care. Presented as more than 130 real cases with extensive imaging description and step-by-step guidelines on how to diagnose individual pathologies, each scenario is backed by the most up-to-date literature available. The cases include some of the most recently described clinical conditions. The case-based format and description of each clinical journey encourages readers to engage with the diagnostic process and facilitates self-study. This book is for any radiologist who practices neuroradiology, neuroradiology fellows, neuroimaging fellows, practicing neurologist and neurology residents.
Intelligent Systems
The two-volume set LNAI 12319 and 12320 constitutes the proceedings of the 9th Brazilian Conference on Intelligent Systems, BRACIS 2020, held in Rio Grande, Brazil, in October 2020. The total of 90 papers presented in these two volumes was carefully reviewed and selected from 228 submissions. The contributions are organized in the following topical section: Part I: Evolutionary computation, metaheuristics, constrains and search, combinatorial and numerical optimization; neural networks, deep learning and computer vision; and text mining and natural language processing. Part II: Agent and multi-agent systems, planning and reinforcement learning; knowledge representation, logic and fuzzy systems; machine learning and data mining; and multidisciplinary artificial and computational intelligence and applications. Due to the Corona pandemic BRACIS 2020 was held as a virtual event.
Alzheimer’s Disease: Advances for a New Century
This volume is a companion to the highly successful book published in association with the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease (JAD) on the centennial of Alzheimer’s discovery: “Alzheimer’s Disease: A Century of Scientific and Clinical Research”. Instead of looking back, this collection, “Alzheimer’s Disease: Advances for a New Century”, will look forward. Using scientometric analysis the most promising developments since the Alzheimer Centennial in 2006 have been substantiated. While prior trends and advances in genetics, amyloid-?, tau, neuropathology, and oxidative stress continue as active areas, emergent areas impacting the transition from normal cognition to Alzheimer’s disease such as diagnostic imaging, biomarkers, metabolism, and lifestyle (areas conceived only a few years ago) now dominate the debate. Invited contributors have summarized their landmark publications identified by our analysis and have put them into perspective, explaining the impetus behind the work, the contribution of the results to the field, and who played a role in the work.
Implications of the COVID-19 Pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine Crisis on the Agricultural Sector
The agricultural sector has undergone significant changes in response to both the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine turmoil. These changes have significantly affected markets and distribution chains due to lockdowns and rising energy prices within the global food production economy. Some of these issues stemmed from a lack of available labor due to pandemic shutdowns, a lowered demand for certain commodities, and the Ukraine regional crisis has led to a 25% decrease in agricultural production and output. A thorough evaluation of the real impacts of these events is necessary to identify the main factors and provide concepts for future adjustments that may create a more resilient agricu...
Education in the Structure of the Social and Investment Model of Economic Growth: Scenarios of Development and Mechanisms of Management
The importance of the formation of a socially-oriented market economy grew due to the adoption of the global goals in the sphere of sustainable development. For practical implementation of this idea in the modern economic systems, there’s a necessity for a new – social and investment – model of economic growth. The essence and the main difference of this model from the traditional model of economic growth are the sources of growth are social investments – investments in humans and an increase in the population’s quality of life.
