The increases in global wealth and the developments in the field of health have led to decreases in mortality rates, increases in life expectancy, and decreases in fertility rate, leading to a population that is rapidly consisting more and more of older individuals. The demographic changes affect nearly all parts of society including economics, education, health, social security systems, socio-cultural activities, and more. Thus, it is essential to study the impacts that an aging population will have on society. The Handbook of Research on Economic and Social Impacts of Population Aging analyzes the economic and social impacts of population aging from a multidisciplinary perspective. Covering topics such as life expectancy, social welfare, health, social security, and more, this book is essential for social scientists, sociologists, demographers, economists, medical professionals, government officials, policymakers, professionals, researchers, managers, students, and academicians looking to understand the effects of an aging population on modern society.
Globalization is a multi-dimensional concept reflecting the increased economic, social, cultural, and political integration of countries. There has been no pinpointed consensus on the history of globalization; however, the globalization process has gained significant speed as of the 1980s in combination with liberalization. Many countries have removed or loosened barriers over the international flows of goods, services, and production factors. In this context, both liberalization and globalization have led to considerable institutional, economic, social, cultural, and political changes in the world. The liberalization and globalization processes have affected economic units, institutions, cu...
"The book investigates the technological development and its impact on economic and environmental sustainability in the world from an interdisciplinary perspective"--
Hakkında: Bu çalışmada krizlerin dünya ekonomi tarihindeki yerini farklı disiplinler açısından değerlendirmeye çalışılmıştır. Dünya krizler tarihine bakıldığı zaman çıkış sebepleriyle yarattığı etki bakımından her bir krizin farklı bir özelliğe sahip olduğu görülmektedir. Literatürde krizlerle ilgili yapılan çalışmaların zaman zaman döneme odaklandığını zaman zaman ise sektörel bir bakış açısının ön plana çıktığı görülmektedir. Bu çalışmada literatürde oluşan kavramsal yaklaşımların hem süreç analizlerini hem de güncel olayları kapsayıcı bir boyutta toplamaya çalışılmıştır. Bu perspektifte bir takım spesifik sektörlerin krizlerden etkilenmelerini analiz ederken diğer bir perspektiften de dünya tarihine geçmiş, 1929 Buhranı, Petrol şoku, 2008 Küresel Finans krizi gibi krizlerin analizlerine de yer verilmiştir.
The globalized world has experienced significant improvements in production and consumption in a heterogeneous way since the industrial revolution. However, the considerable environmental degradation and energy wars resulting from the limited fossil energy sources brought the issue of sustainable development to the world agenda. Sustainable development has become one of the most discussed issues at country and international levels and requires further investigation to fully understand how we can move towards a more sustainable future. Technological Development and Impact on Economic and Environmental Sustainability explores the determinants of economic, social, and environmental sustainability from a multidisciplinary perspective in the globalized world, analyzes the impacts of applied sustainable policies, and considers the improvements in the Sustainable Development Goals. Covering topics such as economic growth and climate change, this reference work is ideal for researchers, academicians, scholars, practitioners, industry professionals, instructors, and students.
This book is written for scientists and engineers who use HHT (Hilbert-Huang Transform) to analyze data from nonlinear and non-stationary processes. It can be treated as a HHT user manual and a source of reference for HHT applications. The book contains the basic principle and method of HHT and various application examples, ranging from the correction of satellite orbit drifting to detection of failure of highway bridges.The thirteen chapters of the first edition are based on the presentations made at a mini-symposium at the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics in 2003. Some outstanding mathematical research problems regarding HHT development are discussed in the first three chapters. The three new chapters of the second edition reflect the latest HHT development, including ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) and modified EMD.The book also provides a platform for researchers to develop the HHT method further and to identify more applications.
