Handbook of Research on Applying Emerging Technologies Across Multiple Disciplines
In recent decades, there has been a groundbreaking evolution in technology. Every year, technology not only advances, but it also spreads throughout industries. Many fields such as law, education, business, engineering, and more have adopted these advanced technologies into their toolset. These technologies have a vastly different effect ranging from these different industries.

This book combines a solid theoretical approach with many practical applications of new technologies within many disciplines. Covering topics such as computer-supported collaborative learning, machine learning algorithms, and blockchain, this text is essential for technologists, IT specialists, programmers, computer scientists, engineers, managers, administrators, academicians, students, policymakers, and researchers.
Ethics in Banking
Banks are frequently considered usurers. Is it possible to talk about ethics when you analyse banking activity? This book focuses on this question and starts with the history and the philosophy. Philosophers like Aristotle, Immanuel Kant and John Stuart Mill proposed different theories about the need for ethics in finance. If we accept Mill's thought, the production of wealth in society is driven by the personal pursuit of profit. But - unfortunately - this does not, on its own, ensure collective well-being. It must be guided by a superior mechanism which transforms it into wealth for all. This introduces the role of financial institutions, which often have to comply with legal obligations. The book focuses on the role that these institutions have in supporting the ‘ethical’ use of money. The author analyses a number of cases in banks and the financial industry and discusses topics like anti-money laundering, anti-usury, islamic finance, microcredit and bank rescue systems, including not only best practices but also examples of unethical financial management.

Juventopoli
A meno di vent'anni da Calciopoli, la Juventus è di nuovo nell'occhio del ciclone. Per la gestione finanziaria troppo "creativa" degli ultimi anni la Vecchia Signora è tornata nel mirino dei tribunali, nonostante i silenzi imbarazzati delle istituzioni calcistiche e pene sportive inferiori alle attese. Plusvalenze fittizie tramite lo scambio con club "amici" di carneadi valutati decine di milioni, stipendi dilazionati con manovre oscure, bilanci non veritieri, il tutto per nascondere una situazione finanziaria da allarme rosso malgrado le ricapitalizzazioni dell'azionista di maggioranza, la Exor: condotte che hanno falsato, lo dicono i magistrati, i campionati degli ultimi anni, compresi a...
